Chapter 259: Take them down one by one


    In order to kill Xu Hei, the Snake Catchers Sect had made extremely thorough preparations, reaching the utmost in terms of manpower and resources.


    Sect Leader Xu Qingzhi was held back, along with the Fifteenth Ancestor. Without the Fifteenth Ancestor, there was still the elder group of the Snake Catchers Sect led by Yin Mingzi.


    With such meticulous preparations, no matter how many tricks Xu Hei had up his sleeve, there was only one path for him—death!


    In a daze, Xu Hei found himself back in the Myriad Serpent Valley, facing an overwhelming army.


    The difference was thatst time, he was merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage, facing Xuan Yangzi.


    This time, he had already reached the Core Formation Stage, facing the elite of the entire Snake Catchers Sect.


    Xu Hei secretly observed his opponents.


    Three mid-stage Core Formation core elders, seven early-stage Core Formation ordinary elders, totaling ten Core Formation cultivators, posed the greatest threat.


    Arge number of Foundation Establishment stage stewards and disciples stayed back, hiding behind the mountain peaks. Only some cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage set up formations around, which could also affect those at the Core Formation Stage.Xu Hei''s gaze grew colder; he wouldn''t let a single one of these people escape today.


    "Take action!" Yin Mingzi ordered in a low voice.


    Numerous elders pped their hands and pressed them to the ground. Suddenly, a massive formation emerged, with countless chains shooting out from the void, directly targeting Xu Hei. It was the Demon Sealing Dragon Trap Formation aimed at him.


    The positions of these chains changed endlessly, interlocking and encircling, sealing off all directions of Xu Hei''s movement. They also possessed indestructible strength, representing the extreme of the formation''s Qianyang, highly effective against demons.


    In terms of expertise, the Snake Catchers Sect had no equal in the Demon Sealing Dragon Trap Formation.


    "So, you want to y with formations? Nine-square Killing Formation!"


    Xu Hei shouted, his snake tail burrowing into the ground, activating the formation.


    In an instant, countless formation lights lit up on the surrounding ground and in the void, with destructive waves enveloping the ten elders surrounding from the Snake Catchers Sect!


    These formations appeared too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Hei detonated them.


    Would Xu Hei just stand still and wait for them to surround him and set up their formation?


    Ridiculous! He did it on purpose because his formation was buried right there!


    "Not good! Retreat quickly!"


    "It''s an ambush!"


    Yin Mingzi eximed in shock, immediately retreating, and all the elders fled desperately, but it was toote. One by one, lights shed, and earth-shattering waves erupted instantly.


    The Nine-square Killing Formation was a formation Xu Heiprehended inside the Xuan Yin Tower, with nine formationsbined into one, especially the final Five Elements Killing Formation being the most formidable.


    The Snake Catchers Sect had been suspicious, but these formations had their aura concealed by Hei Huang, making thempletely undetectable.


    They couldn''t imagine how a snake could set up so many formations in such a short time!


    "Boom boom boom boom boom..."


    For a moment, thunder and lightning roared, earth fire erupted, fierce winds shredded, and underworld soil dposed... Various formation attacks appeared in all directions, and the group of elders suffered a brutal assault, each vomiting blood as their magical treasures shattered one after another.


    The so-called Demon Sealing Dragon Trap Formation, meant to restrain Xu Hei, was just halfway formed before beingpletely destroyed by these killing formations. Not a single chain remained, blown into nothingness by the Five Elements Killing Formation.


    At this moment, Yin Mingzi''s face turned as ck as coal.


    The Snake Catchers Sect had rich experience in catching snakes, but damn it, was this a snake?


    What happened to capturing him with ease?


    Looking at their sect leader Xu Qingzhi, his face was as dark as could be.


    "Whoosh!"


    Xu Hei''s figure vanished on the spot, turning into a shadow, charging at an early-stage Core Formation elder. With their formation scattered, now was the perfect time to take them down one by one.


    This unnamed elder immediately summoned an ancient gourd, which spewed out a halo. In an instant, a vortex-like force field appeared around him.


    As Xu Hei approached, it felt like he was trapped in a quagmire, unable to move, especially targeting his snake-like form. This was also a magical treasure designed to bind snake demons.


    Unfortunately, Xu Hei''s Ever-changing Fish and Dragon technique had surpassed the fourth level, long since ignoring such restraints. After just a brief pause, he charged in again,pletely unaffected by the vortex-like force field.


    "Sect Leader, save me!"


    The unnamed Elder A let out a piercing scream, the gourd shattered, and the vortex force field expanded more than tenfold, yet it couldn''t stop the bloodthirsty Xu Hei.


    Countless magical treasure halos appeared on Elder A, attempting a desperate struggle.


    Xu Hei opened his crimson maw, swallowing the man and all his magical treasures whole, his belly bulging like a balloon.


    Immediately, he refined them swiftly within the Demon God Cauldron, absorbing everything cleanly.


    Xu Hei spat out the elder, now reduced to a withered husk, his Golden Core, flesh, and all the energy absorbed by his cultivation techniquepletely devoured by Xu Hei.


    From start to finish, it took only a single breath.


    "Humans taste disgusting!"


    Xu Hei cursed; it had been a long time since he had swallowed a person whole.


    Thest time he ate a human was thest time, but the snake catchers disgusted him to the core. He wanted to extract their bones and refine their marrow, making them suffer the tortures of hell.


    "Kill!"


    Xu Hei once again used the Ever-changing Fish and Dragon technique, charging at the second unnamed Elder B.


    "Boom!"


    A loud noise echoed from the sky as Xu Qingzhi could no longer hold back, wielding the Dragon ying Sword, slicing through the air, forming a massive blood-colored de light, descending from the heavens to sever Xu Hei.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "Hey, hey! Do you think I don''t exist?"


    Another Xu Qingzhi sneered, swinging his Dragon ying Sword, producing the same blood-colored de light, intercepting in the void. After mutual annihtion, he shed at Xu Qingzhi''s neck again, ensuring that if he attacked Xu Hei, his head would roll.


    Xu Qingzhi''s face turned ashen, forced to engage in directbat, and soon they were locked in a fierce battle.


    Meanwhile, the Fifteenth Ancestor and another Fifteenth Ancestor merely stood in the sky, gazing at each other without moving, neither seeming inclined to take action.


    However, the Fifteenth Ancestor''s face was exceptionally grim, arge seal appearing in his hand, only to be put away again.


    "The fake inner demon created by this mirror must have a time limit. Once the time is up, it will break without attack. Why waste energy?" the Fifteenth Ancestor spected internally.


    Two breathster.


    The second Elder B was also swallowed by Xu Hei, struggling for just one more breath. Thatpass-shaped magical treasure could disrupt Xu Hei''s sense of direction, also designed to restrain snake demons.


    Every snake catcher had magical treasures targeting snake demons, knowing his body structure and attack habits as if they were second nature. This infuriated Xu Hei, making him feel nauseated from the depths of his heart.


    Xu Hei spat out the drained Elder B.


    "Disgusting, your taste is too disgusting!"


    Xu Hei flicked his tail, shooting towards the nearest third person, named Liu Dun, whose cultivation had reached mid-stage Core Formation, unlike the previous two he had killed. He was a poison master specializing in snake venom.


    With a wave of his hand, Liu Dun scattered arge amount of poison powder, forming a toxic that covered every inch of space, easily prating a snake''s body.


    The Bone-Eroding Powder could instantly soften snake bones, rendering them powerless.


    "Sacrificing two people to capture you is still within eptable losses!"


    Liu Dun thought to himself. He had long anticipated that this mission wouldn''t go smoothly and that sacrifices were inevitable.


    "Poof!!"


    In the next second, his lower half was shattered by Xu Hei''s strike, his Golden Core mped in Xu Hei''s mouth.


    "This..." Liu Dun''s thoughts quickly scattered.


    He couldn''t understand why his Bone-Eroding Powder had no effect!


    The time hested wasn''t even a single breath, shorter than the previous two!
