Tian Qingzi

A faint mist of energy rose from the Blood Pool, growing thicker and thicker until it gathered around Little Cai figure appeared and disappeared within it.

"This situation seems somewhat similar to the scene when the Ancient Heavenly Serpent's soul gathered earlier, but it also seems to be different."

As Xiao Ming gazed at this scene, he compared it to the scene when the Ancient Heavenly Serpent appeared. The energy mist gathered by the Ancient Heavenly Serpent was blood red, the same color as the Blood Pool, while the energy around the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python was pure white, appearing much purer.

Just as Xiao Ming was about to experience what was different, the ground suddenly shook slightly!

Um?

Xiao Ming looked at the ground with some confusion, as did the other three.

What's going on?

Peng!

The words had barely left his mouth when a deafening roar echoed through the sky!

After that loud bang, as if some magical switch had been flipped, a series of deafening roars shot straight into the sky.

Rumble!

The earth shook violently, and in an instant, several surrounding mountain peaks were shrouded in rubble and dust, and several huge cracks appeared in the ground, creating a magnificent and spectacular scene!

Xiao Ming and his companions immediately chose to hover in mid-air! This had no effect whatsoever; their various colored External Dou Qi, and not even a speck of dust touched them. →

"Xiao Ming, something's wrong!" Venerable Tian Huo approached Xiao Ming, looking towards the dustiest area, and said in a heavy voice. He vaguely sensed the energy fluctuations of someone fighting, and those fluctuations were approaching them.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, "Be careful, they're here!"

Boom!

Another loud bang rang out, and amidst the billowing dust, several boulders hurtled towards Xiao Ming and his companions with a sharp whooshing sound. Following them, a Green Robed Old Man also flew backwards at a similar speed, looking rather disheveled.

Xiao Ming made no move; a mere Two Star Dou Zun was nothing to worry about!

Xiao Ming made no move, but Venerable Tian Huo consciously took on the role of protecting the group.

A powerful Dou Qi condensed in his palm, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly!

"Retreat!"

With a loud shout, Venerable Tian Huo struck out with his palm, a ten-foot-long flaming hand appearing in front of the group before striking the Green Robed Old Man.

"Puff!"

Struck by this blow, the already weakened Green Robed Old Man trembled violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

Thanks to this, although the Green Robed Old Man was knocked back several meters, he stopped his backward flight.

The Green Robed Old Man steadied himself and turned to look at the person who had attacked him. Upon seeing them clearly, the passage suddenly narrowed, revealing two women, a man, and an elder staring intently at him.

The Green Robed Old Man completely ignored the three strikingly good-looking young men and women, his eyes fixed intently on Venerable Tian Huo.

This was certainly not because he had any particular fetish; he sensed the terror emanating from the old man in the red robe.

"Human Race Dou Zun!"

The Green Robed Old Man twitched slightly at the corner of his eye, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, where did these people come from!"

This was their core location, and yet someone managed to sneak in like this.

The green-robed figure was naturally the Great Elder. He was unaware that someone had entered the Myriad Snake Mountain Range because the Third Elder, who was in charge, planned to tell him after the sacrificial ceremony.

"Could it be that the Snake Venerable was ambushed by these people?"

Considering the unusual events at the Blood Pool today, the Green Robed Old Man grew even more wary.

"Hmm?" Xiao Ming glanced at the Green Robed Old Man was unusually wary of them, but didn't pay him any mind.

After all, Venerable Tian Huo had just struck the other party with a palm, aggravating his already serious injuries. It was normal for others to be wary of them.

They were also wary of the old man; otherwise, Venerable Tian Huo wouldn't have slapped him without saying a word.

It's important to know that there are countless ways to scheme against someone in this world; there are even people who pretend to fight and then launch a sneak attack.

The Venerable Tian Huo's slap could both check if the opponent was injured and reduce some of their combat power; in any case, it wouldn't harm them.

Passing the silent Green Robed Old Man, the four of them turned their gazes toward the direction from which the Green Robed Old Man had flown backward.

Tap tap!

Footsteps sounded, and a burly, shirtless Red-Eyed Strong Man emerged from the dust, carrying the head of an old man with white hair. Behind him followed a dozen or so old men and a considerable number of enormous pythons. Without exception, all of these men had blood-red eyes.

The appearance of the burly man caused Venerable Tian Huo's previously casual expression to turn serious.

"Six Star Dou Zun!"

"Besides Six-Star Dou Zun, there's also a Dou Zun One Star, and more than a dozen Dou Zong. These people all seem to have lost their minds," Xiao Ming added, looking behind him with a somewhat grave expression.

"Hey, what happened to your clan? Why do they all look so irrational?" Venerable Tian Huo asked the Green Robed Old Man.

The Green Robed Old Man was somewhat surprised to hear this. Wasn't this the work of these people?

Could it be an accident? If so, it's too much of a coincidence. They just slapped him. If not, their expressions don't seem fake, and there's no need for them to fake it. After all, he can't think of any other reason to fake it except to play a trick on him.

"I am She Qingzi, regarding this matter..."

"Roar!"

The Green Robed Old Man made a gesture of respect, intending to briefly explain what had happened and then use the people in front of him to resolve the current trouble.

However, the Venerable Snake had lost all reason and wouldn't stand still and wait for them to finish talking before making a move.

So, just as Tian Qingzi finished speaking, the Venerable Snake roared, threw down the head he was holding, and a powerful Aura, like a volcanic eruption, surged out from his body in an instant, and countless cracks appeared on the ground amidst a series of cracking sounds!

With a stomp of his foot, thick cracks spread rapidly again, covering his entire area in the blink of an eye. The space in front of him distorted and vanished eerily.

As the Venerable Snake vanished, Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow and instinctively took two steps back. The Venerable Tian Huo swiftly blocked Xiao Ming and the others' path.

However, the Venerable Snake's target was not Xiao Ming and his group, but Tian Qingzi was caught in the middle of them.

At this moment, Tian Qingzi's expression changed drastically, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes. He saw the Venerable Snake appear before him like a ghost, his five fingers forming a claw shape, the sharp nails like blades, exuding a chilling aura.

"Roar!"

It was unclear what he was growling, but the Venerable Snake revealed a bloodthirsty cruelty towards Tian Qingzi, who was right next to him, and his claws went straight for the latter's vital heart.
