“Jiaoxiao Tian, you filthy mongrel, today I will tear you to shreds and throw you into the Pit of Ten Thousand Snakes!” Staring at the black-clad man in the sky, Yao Ming’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and an endless surge of malice spewed out of his gaze. A low growl echoed incessantly in the deep ravine.
“Keke, my dear elder brother, I never expected you to still be alive, but now, you can’t even withstand a single strike from me. Rest assured, this time, I won’t give you any chance to struggle.” Hearing Yao Ming’s malevolent growls, the man in the sky responded with a cold, sinister laugh.
Hearing the conversation between the two brothers, Xiao Yan remained expressionless. Jiaoxiao Tian’s strength was around the middle stage of a one-star Dou Sheng, which was slightly stronger than his own. To become the patriarch of the Jiu You Di Ming Python Clan, Jiaoxiao Tian’s strength was undoubtedly unquestionable.
“Boy, no matter how you sneaked into our domain, but this underground world is the territory of my Jiu You Di Ming Python Clan. You almost ruined my great plans. Today, I will throw you and that useless person into the Pit of Ten Thousand Snakes.” Jiaoxiao Tian’s gaze was fiercely fixed on Xiao Yan. If it weren’t for the sliver of soul imprint in the seal, Xiao Yan might have indeed managed to secretly rescue Yao Ming today. When Yao Ming regained his strength, he would surely come to reclaim the position of the clan leader, causing a great deal of trouble again.
“First, quickly recover your Dou Qi. This guy, I will take care of him.” In response to Jiaoxiao Tian’s cold gaze, Xiao Yan’s face showed no significant change. With a wave of his robe, a gentle force sent Yao Ming to the shore. He said calmly, “Be careful, this guy is currently at the middle stage of a one-star Dou Sheng and has mastered many of our Jiu You Di Ming Python Clan’s top techniques. He will not be easy to deal with!”
“Alright,” Xiao Yan nodded, taking out two jade bottles and tossing one to Yao Ming and the other to Cai Lin. Then, with a step on the lake, a ripple spread out, and his figure appeared not far from Jiaoxiao Tian. Looking at him, he said, “This is my first time fighting a Dou Sheng of the same level since I entered the Dou Sheng realm…”
“Don’t worry, the Jiu You Huang Quan is a good place. Falling here will be considered a blessing for you.” Jiaoxiao Tian let out a sinister laugh. “To have reached the Dou Sheng realm at such a young age, your background and talent must not be weak. But you made a grave mistake by getting involved with this waste. Now, no one can save you!”
Xiao Yan smiled noncommittally. “I don’t want to know your name. Today, you shall rest in peace here!” Jiaoxiao Tian’s smile slowly faded, and his gaze, like a venomous snake, fixed on Xiao Yan. His body trembled suddenly, and a towering, chilling energy surged out from within, causing the entire world to vibrate wildly. A massive energy palm, over a thousand feet wide, gathered above his head, radiating extremely icy power.
“Die!” With a single word, the enormous palm crashed down, and the terrifying force instantly shattered the space around Xiao Yan.
“You overestimate yourself,” Xiao Yan raised his head, looking at the rapidly enlarging energy palm in his vision. He grinned and waved his robe, unleashing a torrent of blazing flames that transformed into a sea of fire, engulfing the giant hand. The intense temperature caused the latter to burst into thick white fog.
“An anomalous flame?” Seeing the fire sea capable of evaporating the energy palm, Jiaoxiao Tian’s brows furrowed slightly. He then let out a cold snort and quickly formed complex hand seals. As he completed the seals, the energy in the surroundings gathered again.
“Yellow Spring Finger!” The energy converged under Jiaoxiao Tian’s control, swiftly forming a finger over a hundred feet long, its surface rough and exuding a faint destructive force. From afar, it looked like a celestial pillar, towering between heaven and earth.
“With one finger, the Yellow Spring separates life and death.” Jiaoxiao Tian sneered, pointing sharply. The massive Yellow Spring Finger descended, causing the entire area to collapse. The deep ravines around them cracked open, and the ground trembled as if struck by an earthquake.
“A Heaven Tier Dou Skill, huh…” Seeing the power of the Yellow Spring Finger, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yan’s eyes. A Dou Sheng executing a Heaven Tier Dou Skill could easily destroy a city.
“You talk big, but lack the ability,” Xiao Yan stepped forward, gathering vast amounts of Dou Qi in his right hand. A pinpoint of black light burst out, instantly forming a black halo over a hundred feet wide. This was Xiao Yan’s first use of the Great Heavenly Creation Palm after ascending to the Dou Sheng realm, and its power had magnified by a hundredfold.
*Woo woo* The moment the black halo took shape, it unleashed a terrifying suction force, causing the nearby ravines to crumble. Massive rocks fell, only to be pulled into the halo and vanish.
“Great Heavenly Creation Palm, accept my power!” Xiao Yan raised his head, snapped his fingers, and the large black halo flashed down, appearing at the spot where the Yellow Spring Finger pressed down, spinning wildly.
*Crack crack* The Yellow Spring Finger slammed onto the black halo, generating a fierce energy storm that swept across the surroundings.
*Rumble* The black halo spun wildly, emitting waves of destruction. The Yellow Spring Finger, unable to resist, was slowly drawn into the halo, finally being completely devoured under Jiaoxiao Tian’s astonished gaze.
“Well done, you are more formidable than I thought.” Seeing the Yellow Spring Finger being broken, a flicker of gravity passed through Jiaoxiao Tian’s eyes. His body trembled, and a torrent of cold energy surged out, causing his body to swell immensely. In an instant, he transformed into a thousand-foot-long, black giant snake, exuding a ferocious aura, like an evil deity dominating the world.
“Sealing technique, Great Yellow Spring Seal!” Transforming into his original form, Jiaoxiao Tian roared to the sky. As he roared, a terrifyingly frigid power erupted from the Jiu You Huang Quan below, controlled by Jiaoxiao Tian and combined with his overwhelming Dou Qi. In an instant, it formed a colossal mountain-like black seal, inscribed with countless eerie runes.
“Xiao Yan, be careful! This is one of the Jiu You Di Ming Python Clan’s most powerful Dou Skills, a Mid-Heaven Tier skill. If you get sealed, you will be imprisoned in the Jiu You Huang Quan. I suffered for centuries due to this move!”
As the seal formed, Xiao Yan heard Yao Ming’s warning. “Brat, die for me!” Jiaoxiao Tian laughed, his massive tail swayed, and the black seal changed direction, aimed at Xiao Yan. A frigid force incomparably intense froze the space around him.
“Seal!” With a roar, the black seal shook, breaking through space, and appeared above Xiao Yan’s head, crashing down and slamming him into the Jiu You Huang Quan!
*Rumble* The black seal hit the lake, sending up massive water columns and generating a devastating energy shockwave that flattened everything in the ravine.
“Haha!” Seeing this, Jiaoxiao Tian’s giant snake form burst into laughter. With the frigid power of the Jiu You Huang Quan, even a fellow one-star mid-stage Dou Sheng would have their Dou Qi sealed. How much more for Xiao Yan, who was weaker?
“Dammit.” Watching from afar, Yao Ming, who was rapidly recovering, felt a heavy heart.
*Boom* But just as Jiaoxiao Tian’s laughter faded, the black seal on the Jiu You Huang Quan suddenly shook, and a moment later, a loud noise resounded. The seal was violently propelled away!
“What?!” Jiaoxiao Tian was shocked.
“You want to seal me? You’re not qualified!”
*Boom* With a thunderous laugh, the Jiu You Huang Quan exploded, a dazzling golden light shot out, flashing and appearing above Jiaoxiao Tian’s head. A massive golden hand, holding a four-colored lotus, rotated slowly before crashing down, smashing into Jiaoxiao Tian’s massive snake head.
*Boom* The flaming lotus burst on contact, and the destructive force, combined with the terrifying power of the golden hand, surged into Jiaoxiao Tian’s body. Inside his body, it sounded like countless thunderbolts were going off, and numerous bloody pits exploded on his body, steaming with heat.
*Shimmer* A massive golden figure descended, stomping hard on Jiaoxiao Tian’s snake form, lifting a giant fist charged with anomalous flame power, forcing him to emit shrill cries.
“Damn it, daring to cause trouble in our Jiu You Di Ming Python Clan! Yin She Guards, capture this man!” Just as Xiao Yan was about to completely obliterate Jiaoxiao Tian, a furious roar echoed from the sky. The entire mountain range rang with the sound of rushing wind, and several powerful auras burst forth. Clearly, the battle had alerted the entire Jiu You Di Ming Python Clan.
