Xu Yuehuai immediately dodged, but some people still couldn't avoid him, including Fu Ziyi. Fu Ziyi was a ghost cultivator who usually used ghosts to help him fight. Close combat was not an advantage for him. In an instant, Fu Ziyi's body crashed into the wall and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Fu Ziyi!" Baili Xiuwen rushed to his side and helped Fu Ziyi up from the ground. He supported Fu Ziyi's back and, seeing him coughing up blood, quickly took out a bottle of pills and fed them to him.
Seeing this, the black snake sneered, "I thought you guys had some ability to come up here, that you must be very strong. Now it seems you're nothing special. If you don't want to die, get out of here! Otherwise, you'll all become my meal."
Black Snake's tone wasn't as gentle as when he spoke to Xixi, but that was understandable. The group exchanged glances; they couldn't just give up like that. Xu Yuehuai looked at him and said, "I know your story."
The black snake paused its attack with its tail, its red eyes filled with confusion and doubt as it looked at the little girl in front of it. How could she possibly know about things from hundreds of years ago? It sneered, "Don't play tricks on me. Do you think I'll fall for that? If you can't beat me, then get lost. I gave you a chance, but seeing that you don't want to leave, then stay here and keep me company!"
After the black snake finished speaking, flicking its tongue, its enormous body began to attack Xu Yuehuai. Xu Yuehuai raised his sword to block the attack, but the black snake had no intention of giving up so easily. It showed no mercy, and blood trickled from the corner of Xu Yuehuai's mouth. While Xu Yuehuai was being held back, the others attacked the black snake.
But the black snake was entirely black, with a very hard shell, seemingly without any weaknesses. As everyone watched their countless attacks prove ineffective, they began to panic, especially Xu Yuehuai, who was still struggling to hold on.
Shi Mu hadn't expected to advance at this moment, but there was nothing he could do. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to stabilize his aura. When he felt warm and much better, he opened his eyes and saw that everyone had suffered some injuries. He pursed his lips, picked up his weapon, and attacked again.
After feeding the pill to Fu Ziyi, Baili Xiuwen wanted to stay here and take care of Fu Ziyi. For him, whether he was in the sect or in the team was not important; Fu Ziyi absolutely could not die.
Fu Ziyi grabbed his arm and made him help. Although Baili Xiuwen was unwilling, he started to help under Fu Ziyi's insistence, leaving Fu Ziyi alone on the spot.
Fu Ziyi licked his back teeth and glared at the black snake. This was the first time he had been so badly injured since he came to the second floor. He began to control the ghosts from a distance. Countless ghosts emerged from the ground, along with the souls of spirit beasts. If you looked closely, the scene was quite spectacular.
When Xixi caught up, this was the scene he saw. His eyes were filled with shock. He never thought that they would have such strength. Looking at the mastermind behind this, he realized that he was just a boy in his teens or twenties.
Xi Xi stood at a distance and didn't go up. They were fighting right now, and if he went up, he would only waste his spiritual energy. He wasn't stupid and wouldn't do such a bad deal.
With Fu Ziyi's help, the black snake was unable to withstand the onslaught and began to attack indiscriminately. No matter who it was, as long as they appeared in front of it, they would feel as if they were being slapped.
Xu Yuehua wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Seeing that the black snake was only a little uncomfortable, but not at all unable to defeat her, she summoned Bai Ze from her spatial storage.
The moment Bai Ze emerged, the black snake instantly felt the suppression of its bloodline. It was originally the spirit beast with the longest bloodline on this mountain, but it was still far inferior to Bai Ze.
"Bai Ze?!" The black snake looked at the ancient divine beast that had appeared here in disbelief. For a moment, he hoped that he was seeing things, but no matter what, Bai Ze was standing in front of him.
Xixi stood below, staring in astonishment at the boys fighting above. Having not been out for many years, she had no idea that the outside world had developed to this extent, that any random boy could have a divine beast like Bai Ze?
Xu Yuehuai sat on Bai Ze's back, cooperating perfectly with him. In the blink of an eye, she was beside the black snake. She brandished her silver sword, determined to kill the black snake with her sword.
The black snake was suppressed by its bloodline, making it move much slower than before. Before he knew it, Xu Yuehuai had actually injured it.
Black Snake flinched back, looking warily at the large group of people facing him. "What do you want?"
Xu Yuehuai sat atop Bai Ze's body, walking at the very front, and said in a cold tone, "I will kill you."
The three words, spoken lightly, made the black snake tremble. If it were just these few teenagers in front of him, he would naturally disdain them. But if Bai Ze was added to the mix, the threat would be much greater. He looked at Xu Yuehuai with some resentment in his eyes, "I haven't done anything immoral or immoral. You have no reason to kill me! I just live in these mountains and forests and don't want humans to disturb my life. Is that wrong?"
The black snake is skilled at bewitching people. When he speaks, his red eyes show weakness, making people think that he is really so weak and helpless. But as long as the other party relaxes his vigilance even a little, he will definitely step forward without hesitation and bite off the other party's neck.
Xu Yuehuai ignored his accusations and brought up another matter, "You say you haven't done anything immoral, but didn't you eat all the descendants of Taiping Village? You made them contribute to your cultivation in order to improve your own cultivation. That alone is enough for us to kill you."
Shangguan Xi stood aside, wiping the blood from his face, and sneered, "Besides, do you need a reason to kill a snake? Did you give those spirit beasts a reason when you sent them to their deaths? Why did they die? Have you thought about that?"
As questions arose one by one, Black Snake realized that the young man in front of him hadn't come to ask for passage, but to kill him. If they had just wanted to pass, it would have been fine; he would have simply let them through. But they weren't, which caused Black Snake's plans to vanish.
Nangong Yu held a fan in his hand, the weapon on the fan covered in blood. For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether the blood was his own or that of the black snake.
Seeing them staring at him and recounting his crimes, Black Serpent tried to escape, but before he could even move his tail, Xu Yuehuai's sword pierced straight through him.
