Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 256: Dragon Qi Soars to the Sky

Xu Qingfeng gazed at the sun pouring down from the sky, seemingly lost in thought, his eyes squinting against the glare.

More and more experts from the Heavenly Puppet Sect descended upon Wuyou City, each carrying a multitude of puppets, with any one of them equivalent to an entire army.

However, Wuyou City's army of corpse puppets was equally vast, emerging from the ground in waves, an awe-inspiring sight.

"Kill!"

Lei He, his body surging with blood energy, wielded a war halberd like an invincible war god, charging into the army and effortlessly cutting down swathes of corpse puppets.

"Roar!"

From the Blood Corpse Cave outside the city came an earth-shattering roar, and a whirlwind of red hair swept through the sky. A red-haired figure stepped through the air from outside the city—it was the Red-haired Corpse King.

Behind him, the army of corpse puppets from the Blood Corpse Cave joined the battle.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The Red-haired Corpse King led the charge, heading straight for Lei He, who was also at the late Core Formation stage.

This was an epic battle, the likes of which had never been seen before. The two armies clashed like two massive dark clouds, the sounds of battle echoing to the heavens.

This was the battle between the Heavenly Puppet Sect and Wuyou City.

It was also the battle between the Divine Puppet Sect and the third-generation ancestor!

In a daze, the dim glow of history shone down, and historical projections appeared above Wuyou City.

These were from ancient times, when the City Lord of Wuyou faced the siege of three sect leaders from the Divine Puppet Sect, resulting in cataclysmic destruction, the city in ruins, and all its citizens turned to madness, joining the great battle.

History can repeat itself.

But Wuyou City was no longer the Wuyou City of old.

Yunlu Academy.

Zhang Tie was also affected by an invisible force, the ferocity gone from his eyes as he looked outside at Li Si.

"Boom!!"

In the next moment, he stomped the ground and shot out like a black cannonball, his body undergoing demonic transformation, a thick layer of black keratin forming on his skin, with demonic flames burning in his eyes.

This enhanced form only appeared when one was possessed, and Zhang Tie maintained it to attack his enemies!

"You! Die!"

Zhang Tie clawed at Li Si's neck, who immediately summoned a demonic bell. The sound waves rippled out, impacting Zhang Tie, but he was unaffected, not even pausing for a second.

"How is this possible? The demonic bell is useless?!"

Li Si was shocked and dismayed.

The demonic sound was the culprit that drove Zhang Tie to madness, yet it had lost its effect. Without hesitation, Li Si retreated swiftly.

"Villains, halt!"

Suddenly, from behind came the surge of a hundred spells, crashing down with a roar. Fire Snake Technique, Storm Technique, Water Blade Technique... all basic spells, only second-tier in power. But their sheer number forced even Li Si to stop.

"Who?!"

Li Si and his men looked behind them.

On a broken street, at some unknown time, a large group of rogue cultivators had taken over.

Among this group, more than ninety percent were Foundation Establishment cultivators, with only five at the early Core Formation stage, totaling around eighty people.

This included evil cultivators from the Blood Robe Sect and three recruited by the Zhou Family, most of whom had followed the Chu Tian Alliance.

Now, they had all gathered, forming a team. The remaining rogue cultivators in Wuyou City were basically all here.

"What are you doing?"

Li Si's face was dark as he stared at the group of rogue cultivators, a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Even more shocking was the fact that these rogue cultivators had formed a fan-shaped encirclement, blocking their retreat.

Li Si, as the strategist of the Qin Kingdom, with many generals following him, had never encountered such a situation!

"Mere rogue cultivators, are you rebelling?"

A deputy general shouted.

From among the rogue cultivators, one stepped forward, fearless.

"We have received the grace of the Chu Tian Alliance. Now, in this time of crisis, we cannot sit idly by. We will follow Senior Xu and fight to the end!"

"Follow Senior Xu! Fight to the end!"

"Fight to the end!"

The rogue cultivators shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Their motives were clear.

Now, an epic battle had erupted in Wuyou City, with the Heavenly Puppet Sect and Wuyou City as the combatants, countless Core Formation stage cultivators, and even Elemental Infant stage clashes, with puppets numbering in the millions.

These rogue cultivators, caught in such a war, were like ants, like dust, easily wiped out by any stray wave.

To survive, they had two choices: join Li Si or join Xu Qingfeng.

Who to choose?

Is there even a question?

Whether you are a villain or a virtuous person, whether righteous or evil, you would unhesitatingly choose the latter!

Following the righteous path, seeking benefit and avoiding harm, is human nature!

At least, Xu Qingfeng would not kill without reason, would not betray you.

"Do you know what you are saying?"

Li Si's face was grim as he spoke in a low voice, "I am the Prime Minister of the Qin Kingdom. I give you a chance, join me, and you will have a way out! If you dare to resist, once you leave this place, none of you will escape!"

Immediately, a rogue cultivator retorted, "We rogue cultivators have no ties, the world is vast, where can't we go? At worst, we'll leave the Qin Kingdom!"

"Following Senior Xu, at least safety is guaranteed. But following you, who can trust you?"

"Who can trust you?"

The rogue cultivators shouted, their voices overlapping.

Someone like Li Si could offer you benefits one moment and sell you out the next.

Sow evil, reap evil; cultivate good, receive good.

A family that accumulates virtue will have lasting prosperity.

Xu Qingfeng, because of a series of seemingly foolish good deeds, finally received a response at this moment.

At this moment, all eyes were on him.

Xu Qingfeng stood beside the Sage's statue, his clothes stained with blood, his nose tingling, his voice choked.

"Thank you... everyone!"

The Sage's phantom, acting as a witness, had long since vanished.

The inheritance halo had also disappeared at some point.

Perhaps they were not fighting for Mo Wuyou's inheritance, but for their own path.

Li Si and Xu Qingfeng, Bai Luo and Bai Qiushui, as Mr. Bai said, in a debate, is there really a winner or loser?

Xu Qingfeng did not win, nor did he lose!

Xu Hei exhaled a hot breath, and through the Demon God Cauldron's refinement of the thunder tribulation, his internal and external injuries were completely healed. Dragon scales and dragon bones were in place, his eyes gleaming, reaching the peak of the post-Core Formation stage.

"Roar!!"

Xu Hei roared to the sky, letting out a loud dragon's roar.

Dragon Qi soared to the heavens, dragon bones stood proud in the sky! Xu Hei felt his blood and energy burning, let out a sharp howl, and with a flick of his dragon tail, charged towards Li Si's army.

Today, Li Si's blood would be the first sacrifice!

"Stop him!"

Li Si's face changed dramatically, formation flags were placed on the ground, spirit stones rained down like a storm. With the retreat blocked by rogue cultivators, he could only use a teleportation formation to escape!

"Crack!"

Xu Hei opened his massive jaws and bit down, shattering the armor of a Core Formation stage deputy general clad in golden armor, his body and a third-tier mid-grade magical treasure crushed to powder, blood and flesh flying, not even a scream escaping, his form and spirit annihilated.

Same realm, a one-hit kill!

"Smack!!"

With a flick of his tail, another Core Formation stage cultivator was smashed, along with various third-tier magical treasures shattered, this person giving his all, yet unable to withstand a casual strike.

Everyone was shocked, their eyes wide, as if seeing a ghost.

"What terrifying power!"

"Is this a demonic beast? Can a demonic beast be this strong?"

"Even third-tier mid-grade magical treasures are useless! What kind of existence is this?"

At this moment, whether it was Li Si's army or the nearly hundred rogue cultivators watching from behind, their jaws nearly dropped.

Even a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator dealing with an early-stage Core Formation cultivator couldn't do it so easily.

And this was without using spells, just close combat!

What would it be like if spells and magical treasures were added?

"Ever-changing Fish and Dragon!"

Xu Hei's figure flickered, shooting like an arrow into Li Si's formation. At his realm, Ever-changing Fish and Dragon could already ignore some weaker formations, moving as if on flat ground.

"Stop him!" Li Si shouted.

He pulled out a jade talisman and crushed it, the talisman transforming into a golden seal, standing proudly in the air, accompanied by an overwhelming imperial aura, reigning over the world, the emperor's might suppressing all.

Li Si's strongest trump card, the Qin Emperor's Seal!
