This Dao Ancestor is too young.

"Huang Jiu, Linhai City, is this the choice you've made?"

The water surged forward, engulfing hills, jungles, and rocks, creating a scene of apocalyptic catastrophe.

bang bang bang~

One by one, figures knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the woman, their voices filled with pleading.

"Officer, I am but a mortal. I will die if I drown, unlike the high and mighty cultivators who can escape. I want to live."

"Your Excellency, you are not wrong. We all know that you care about the people. But now there is only one way out. Please."

"Lord of the Divine Arrest Bureau, you should commit suicide!"

One person prays, a thousand people shout, ten thousand or even a hundred thousand people pray.

Huang Jiu's smile remained bright as ever, as if she could not see the turbulent rivers or hear the pleas of the entire city. She simply reached out and gently patted the boy's shoulder.

"This matter started with me..."

Her jade-like hand descended and grasped the hilt of the sword in the young man's hand.

"I shall end my days as I see fit!"

He exerted force with his palm, took the magic sword, and strode towards the black serpent.

"I'm borrowing your magic sword today. You can return this favor by going to the Divine Arresting Gate to retrieve the powerful weapon in the future."

Zhang Yuanzhu frowned, took a step forward, and was about to follow.

boom!

In an instant, a tremendous and tyrannical pressure descended from the sky, like a mountain crushing down, rendering him unable to move.

The boy looked up at the black serpent demon in the river, sensing the mockery in its serpentine eyes.

"Little bug, don't stop your fellow Daoist from saving people."

The woman, who was walking forward, paused slightly, turned around and glanced at the purple-robed youth, her eyes filled with apology.

He straightened himself and continued walking forward until he reached the edge of the water, where he stopped and raised his sword.

"Snake demon, if the dragon sacrifice only involves me, can it save all the lives in the city?"

"That's right. A being at the peak of Qi Refining who also possesses phoenix blood is worth hundreds of thousands of beings."

The black serpent demon roared, stirring up towering waves in the river.

Huang Jiu's expression was indifferent as she uttered each word clearly:

"I have never believed the words of demons and monsters. I want you to swear an oath."

The snake demon remained silent, then slowly spoke:

"Can!"

"This dragon sacrifice is to be offered only to Huang Jiu. If this oath is broken, may the heavens and man punish us, and may the Great Dao bear witness!"

The snake's eyes, crimson, drooped downwards:

"Are you satisfied with this?"

After sensing the oath, Huang Jiu felt a strange aura surrounding her and nodded slightly.

The longsword was sheathed and held horizontally against his neck, tearing his skin and causing drops of blood to fall.

Her eyes were dim, yet also tinged with regret.

Then, he would exert force to cut off the head.

Suddenly, a fair hand reached out from behind and gripped the sword tightly.

If you want to cut, you must cut open the palm.

A calm yet helpless voice echoed under the rain.

"My sword never kills fellow Daoists."

Zhang Yuanzhu was in a terrible state, his skin torn, his robes stained with blood, and even the golden bell on his head cracked open.

Despite the oppressive aura of the snake demon, he managed to walk behind the woman, but he also suffered severe injuries and was nearly exhausted.

He leaned his body against the woman's back, his hand descending from the sword to gently grasp her fingertips.

He suddenly exerted force, grabbing the woman's hand and slamming it into his chest.

Click~

The sound of the jade bottle shattering rang out, and Huang Jiu felt a liquid fall onto her fingertips.

Zhang Yuanzhu's smile was unrestrained and arrogant as he whispered in the woman's ear:

"The blood of demons and gods, all magic retreats. Come, kill a little snake to add to the fun."

In an instant, the woman's eyes brightened slightly, she withdrew her hand, golden blood covering her five fingers, carrying an indescribable power.

Without the slightest hesitation, without inquiring about the source of the divine blood, and without doubting the authenticity of the blood of ghosts and gods.

His hands, stained with divine blood, gripped the sword tightly.

stab~

Blood mixed with the blood of golden demons and gods stained the magic sword.

Holding swords in both hands, he ascends into the sky:

"You beast, kill him!"

Golden sword light soared into the sky, cleaving through the dark clouds and severing the lightning, sweeping forward.

roar~

"Huang Jiu, you're courting death."

The long, black serpent hissed towards the sky.

It didn't understand why, after the tiny insect had interacted with the offering, the offering suddenly changed its mind.

But it knew that since the other party was no longer following the oath, it would flood the city and kill the constable.

Boom!

The river surged towards the sky, transforming into a water curtain that stretched from heaven to earth, blocking the sword light.

At the same time, a dark beam of light burst forth from the snake and hurtled towards the woman.

A golden sword light and a dark pillar of light, the two attacks almost instantly crossed the sky and collided fiercely.

There was no stalemate, no deafening roar, only a broken pillar of light and a sword light that cleaved through the water curtain.

stab~

Scales and demonic power seemed to disappear at this moment, as if a hot knife were easily sliced ​​through butter.

The hundred-foot-long black serpent was severed at the waist, and blood cascaded down like a waterfall.

The enormous wail had barely been heard when another sword light arrived, striking the snake's head.

bang~

The snake's head, the size of a house, was pulverized and scattered into the water.

Huang Jiu stood in the sky, sword in hand, looking down. Snake blood, the blood of gods and demons, and human blood flowed through the sword, exuding a powerful aura.

"Xiao Xuan?"

An incredulous sound came from the river, as a slender white snake coiled around the half-destroyed body of the black snake, hissing and howling.

Boom!

Dark clouds reappeared, and an even more powerful demonic aura rose up, its momentum unstoppable.

rising!

rising!!

It's climbing even higher!!!

It nearly surpassed the limits of the first stage of Qi Refining and leaped towards another level.

"I'm going to kill you all."

The white snake swelled in the wind and transformed into a two-hundred-foot-long giant snake. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed half of the black snake's remains.

At the same time, nine altars appeared, each hundreds of feet tall, stained with mottled blood, covered with corpses, and the sounds of prayer and worship could be faintly heard.

Bloody and sinister!

These are the ritual implements used in the nine dragon sacrifices presided over by Linhai City over the past ninety years, which the white snake has transformed into magical artifacts.

Kill!

The altar moved forward, smashing through the raging winds and waves with unparalleled ferocity.

The golden sword light reappeared and slashed down.

Boom!

A huge slash appeared on the altar, but it did not shatter.

Huang Jiu's expression was solemn. The power of the blood of the ghost god was limited, and killing the Xuan Snake had already consumed most of it. Moreover, this white snake was even stronger.

At that moment, the boy watching the battle from a distance also noticed something was wrong.

He turned around, and the golden bell above his head trembled slightly.

thump~

A bell rang out, attracting the attention of all cultivators and mortals alike.

His body swayed, as if he might collapse at any moment, but his expression was indescribably serious.

"At this moment, do you all still want to coexist with the snake demon, and still want to get away with nothing through a ritual?"

Stop dreaming!

He stretched out his hand, took out various healing pills from his robes, swallowed them, and then uttered each word clearly:

"The black serpent lies dormant, and the fight will not end until death."

"Why don't you all take action, surround and kill the White Serpent, and wait for Huang Jiu to die so you can personally face a snake demon at the peak of Qi Refining?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of cultivators were jolted awake, their gazes towards the purple-robed youth filled with resentment.

The situation that should have resulted in the sacrifice of one person has turned out this way because of you.

Swish swish~

Despite their resentment and anger, each powerful cultivator harbored their own grievances.

At this moment, all they could do was transform into a rainbow of light and soar into the sky to surround and kill them.
