Chapter 109: Reinforcements have arrived
The young man with strange purple hair, named Han Te, was one of the rare Core Formation Stage rogue cultivators in the Southern Region. He had no sect or faction, known for his incredible speed, appearing and disappearing without a trace. He was an old acquaintance of Xuan Yangzi.
Xuan Yangzi had always been cautious. Upon realizing something was wrong, he decisively used a communication jade slip to send a message to Han Te.
At that time, Xu Hei was still in the midst of his tribulation, and no one believed he would survive.
But Xuan Yangzi still used a favor to have Han Te rush over at the fastest speed for support.
As it turned out, his choice was correct!
A major upheaval indeed occurred!
In fact, Xuan Yangzi was not the only Core Formation Stage cultivator in the Snake Catchers Sect, but most of the core elders were in seclusion at the headquarters, and the fastest one would take a day to arrive, which was too late for support.
The only one nearby who could make it in time was Han Te.
"Don't ask unnecessary questions. You just need to kill that snake, that's enough," Xuan Yangzi pointed at Xu Hei and said coldly.
Han Te squinted his eyes and hesitated, "What about the price..."Xuan Yangzi impatiently threw out a storage bag and urged, "Hurry up and do it, don't dawdle!"
Just a dying early-stage Qi Condensation great demon, and he still wanted to negotiate the price. Xuan Yangzi was speechless.
Han Te took the storage bag, glanced inside, and said, "This is the price for helping you out earlier. If you want me to kill that snake, you'll have to add more!"
Xuan Yangzi's lips twitched. He forced himself to be patient and threw out another storage bag.
Han Te took a look and finally smiled, putting the storage bag away.
"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed generous. I will kill that snake right away!"
Han Te sneered, waved his hand, and a flying sword shot out, aiming straight for Xu Hei's forehead.
At that moment!
A violent demonic wind suddenly arose in front of Xu Hei, forming a fierce storm that swept up the flying sword and blew it far away.
This terrifying demonic aura had already turned into a destructive storm, sweeping in from the distance. The sky darkened, black clouds pressed down on the city, as if some terrifying demonic beast was approaching!
"A Golden Core great demon?"
Xuan Yangzi and Han Te's faces changed simultaneously.
In the distant sky, a giant elephant as large as a mountain stepped through the void, each step shaking the void, rumbling as if the sky was about to collapse.
The terrifying might of this creature was among the top of the great demons they had seen!
This was the leader of the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe, Man Jin.
Unlike before, Man Jin's body had grown to ten meters, shining with golden light, with long hair like a forest. On each side, there were three tusks like ferocious curved blades, a unique mark of a Golden Core giant elephant!
The Elephant Tribe was already among the top demonic beasts, almost invincible in the same realm.
If he hadn't just broken through recently, he could even fight two at once!
Xu Hei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When he first arrived at Myriad Serpent Valley and noticed something was wrong, he immediately sent a message to Man Jin, requesting support.
At that time, Man Jin had already completed his Core Formation, and with the healing pills Xu Hei had given him, he successfully endured the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations in winter without serious injury.
Now, Man Jin had finally arrived.
Not only did he come, but he also brought a group of tribesmen. Behind him were several late-stage Qi Condensation great demons, all elite members of the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe.
Xuan Yangzi called for help, and Xu Hei did the same!
Moreover, Xu Hei called upon top-tier demonic beasts, the elite among demonic beasts.
"This..." Xuan Yangzi's body stiffened, his face turning black.
He never imagined that this snake would also call for help!
Seeing the situation turn bad, Han Te took a few steps back and said in a deep voice, "Xuan Yangzi, this will cost extra."
Xuan Yangzi ignored him and turned to flee.
At this point, there was no need to continue fighting. It was no longer a matter of revenge but whether they could escape!
If this Wild Giant Elephant and the mirror image person attacked him together, he would be in grave danger.
As for Han Te, he couldn't be relied on. He was good at bullying the weak, but asking him to risk his life was impossible.
"Trying to escape?"
The mirror image person sneered, moving like a ghost to block Xuan Yangzi's path.
Xuan Yangzi slapped his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and shot out like a meteor, flying a thousand feet away.
The mirror image person also spat out blood, flying a thousand feet to pursue.
The two figures flew continuously, disappearing from sight in an instant.
Man Jin roared, stepping on the sky, charging towards Han Te.
"Misunderstanding!"
Han Te's face changed, and he turned to run. His speed was faster than Xuan Yangzi's blood escape, turning into a flash of lightning, speeding towards the horizon.
Even Man Jin couldn't keep up with such speed!
Man Jin initially chased for a bit, but the opponent disappeared in an instant. He could only roar in frustration and return to the original place.
"That damned human escaped! Unfortunately, my strength is still not enough!" Man Jin was unwilling.
Man Jin returned to Myriad Serpent Valley, looking around outside the valley, and couldn't help but gasp.
Groups of snake catchers lay dead outside Myriad Serpent Valley, their deaths miserable. He recognized their clothes; they were his enemies!
"My benefactor avenged me and killed so many people!" Man Jin was deeply moved.
...
Xu Hei entered Myriad Serpent Valley.
After a year, he finally returned home.
Xu Hei felt a special sensation, like a wanderer returning to his hometown.
This feeling was common among humans, but Xu Hei, as a demonic beast, also had this feeling.
The restraints of Myriad Serpent Valley had long been lifted. Many surviving snakes left Myriad Serpent Valley, returning to their respective habitats.
However, whether they were ordinary snakes or snake demons, they all bowed their heads to Xu Hei in deep respect when they left.
Xu Hei was their savior!
Xu Hei had defeated the snake catchers, saving the lives of millions of snakes, earning the respect of every snake!
Especially after Xu Hei developed dragon scales, he seemed like the emperor of snakes. Even his aura was enough to make snakes submit!
Xu Hei came to the middle of the valley, crawling to the side of the white snake.
Xu Bai had a spear stuck in her, pinning her to the ground. She was barely breathing but still alive.
Xu Hei carefully pulled out the spear, picked up Xu Bai, and carried her on his back.
Xu Hei continued crawling forward, reaching a hillside.
Here stood a stone tablet, the tombstone of the Old Snake King.
Back then, the Old Snake King gave two Serpent Fruits, one to him and one to Xu Bai.
"Old man, I'm back to see you."
Xu Hei whispered to the tombstone.
An overwhelming sense of fatigue swept over him, and Xu Hei collapsed in front of the tombstone, passing out.
Man Jin watched from afar, sighed, and ordered, "All members of the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe, guard this valley until the benefactor wakes up."
"Yes, Great King!"
The elite members of the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe roared, taking positions around Myriad Serpent Valley to guard it.
...
An hour later.
"Whoosh!"
A figure flew back from afar, the mirror image projection of Xuan Yangzi.
This person was covered in blood, his aura chaotic, as if he had experienced a life-and-death battle. He said nothing, diving into the purple bronze mirror and disappearing.
The bronze mirror lost its luster, flying back to Xu Hei's side and landing on the ground.
