Chapter 49: Shi Xiaojie instantly killed two people"What are you doing..."

Xue Hu was filled with uncertainty. If they called a Foundation Establishment stage uncle over, their credit would be at least halved.

"Uncle Ye will arrive in an hour. By then, we should have captured these two beasts. Our credit shouldn't be taken," Zhu Ze said calmly.

He was also worried about losing credit, but to be safe, he still sent out the communication jade talisman.

The golden light on these two beasts was highly unusual. He feared they had a backer, but with Uncle Ye's abilities, even if that backer showed up, it would be easily handled.

Who knows, they might even earn more credit.

"Earth Prison Technique!"

Zhu Ze activated his spell, and in an instant, the ground rose, the earth churned, forming a mud prison that trapped the white snake and the wolf king within.

…………

An hour passed.

Xu Hei sped forward, finally reaching his destination just as the time limit was about to expire.

Along the way, to speed up, Xu Hei had consumed several pills. Fortunately, he made it in time.

Ahead was a low-lying area, filled with puddles after a heavy rain. Crocodiles often lurked in the muddy swamps, along with some shallow water creatures.

Xu Hei spread his Divine Sense out to 150 meters and immediately discovered two mounds emitting a faint golden light. It was the white snake and the wolf king.

Both demonic beasts were severely injured, barely clinging to life, which made Xu Hei breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he did not see any human cultivators.

"Earth Prison Technique? Hmph, the opponent is quite cautious."

Xu Hei's eyes turned cold. He didn't rush to rescue them. Instead, he released small lizards to search the area thoroughly.

The opponent was very cautious and must be hiding somewhere. Using Divine Sense recklessly would alert them. It was safer to use puppet beasts.

These puppet beasts, after being reforged by Hei Huang, were indistinguishable from living creatures to most people.

Xu Hei didn't know the opponent's cultivation level, but they definitely hadn't reached Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, the Golden Light Curse wouldn't hold.

Below Foundation Establishment, he had nothing to fear.

…………

A hundred meters away, on a large rock, there were two human-shaped impressions.

These figures kept their eyes on the mounds, observing in secret.

"Looks like I was overthinking. These two beasts have no helpers," Zhu Ze thought to himself. Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He did this to be cautious, after all, there was no loss in being careful.

Xue Hu, however, felt disdain, secretly mocking, "Senior Brother has been cultivating for thirty years, his cultivation hasn't improved much, but his courage has shrunk. When Uncle Ye arrives, I wonder if there will be any credit left for me."

At this moment, his eyes narrowed as he saw two lizards suddenly appear on the ground ahead, staring straight at him.

At first, Xue Hu didn't pay much attention, but after observing for a moment, he noticed that both lizards opened their mouths simultaneously, emitting a white light.

Not only the lizards in front of him, but also in the bushes ahead and behind, white lights were shining, densely packed.

"Not good!"

Xue Hu's pupils contracted. The next moment, the white lights shot out like beams, blasting towards his hiding spot.

From the front, left, right, and behind, fifty beams of white light fired simultaneously, covering all directions.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The large rock he was hiding behind shattered instantly, reduced to rubble. Xue Hu spat blood, his robes burned to ashes, his body covered in countless bloody holes, charred and emitting a burnt smell.

In just one exchange, he was severely injured.

Zhu Ze fared slightly better. His cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, already in the late stage. He was extremely cautious and activated the Hardening Technique the moment the white light appeared, simultaneously casting the Earth Shield, blocking eighty percent of the bombardment.

Even so, he was in a sorry state, his clothes tattered, hair disheveled, and multiple black marks on his body.

"Heavenly Puppet Sect's Puppet Mechanism Technique!"

"Damn it! How could a cultivator from the Qin Kingdom be here?"

Zhu Ze's heart trembled. His first thought was that a cultivator from the Heavenly Puppet Sect had arrived, a sect even stronger than the Snake Catchers Sect, the top sect in the Qin Kingdom.

The little white snake and the wolf king in the earth prison immediately woke up.

They sensed a familiar aura.

"It's him!" The white snake's voice trembled.

Zhu Ze took a deep breath and calmed down.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't dare provoke the other party, but with Uncle Ye on the way, he felt more confident. He cupped his fists towards the front and said, "Fellow Daoist from the Heavenly Puppet Sect, is there some misunderstanding?"

The response was another round of beams.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Another round of bombardment. Zhu Ze couldn't dodge and summoned three rotating shields around him, his skin turning to stone, enduring all the attacks.

Apart from his clothes being blasted to pieces, he was unharmed.

Xu Hei shook his head secretly. These little lizards were still too weak, only able to injure mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators. They were powerless against late-stage cultivators skilled in defense.

Zhu Ze's face darkened. Since the other party was unreasonable, he wouldn't hold back. So what if it was the Heavenly Puppet Sect? On Chu Kingdom's territory, they had to bow down.

"Since you won't speak properly, I'll come to you."

Zhu Ze used the Earth Escape Technique, diving into the ground and charging forward. Just now, he had sensed the opponent's position.

Hiding underground was like being fully exposed to a Mountain Movers Sect cultivator skilled in earth techniques.

"Piercing Technique!"

Zhu Ze formed a spell in the air, and immediately, the underground rocks condensed into stone needles, shooting towards Xu Hei.

"Wind Blade Technique!"

Xu Hei spat out wind blades, spraying out a dense rain of wind blades, shattering all the stone needles and heading straight for Zhu Ze's face.

"This power..."

Zhu Ze's expression changed. He immediately condensed a thick earth armor, but it was like paper, easily split in two.

"Slash!"

One of his arms flew off, falling into the mud.

In one exchange, he was killed! The opponent's true strength was far beyond that of the puppet beasts!

"Spare me, senior..."

Zhu Ze instinctively shouted, but the next moment, a strong sense of danger made his hair stand on end.

This was the danger of death!

Zhu Ze hurriedly dove into the mud, retrieving his arm, and poked his head out of the ground, shouting, "Uncle Ye, save me!"

In the distance, a gray-robed cultivator rode a giant sword, flying with the wind, his gaze locked on the muddy swamp ahead, shouting, "Stop right there!"

"Too late!"

Xu Hei's eyes were fierce, his entire cultivation erupted at this moment. A bolt of lightning shot from his mouth, striking the mud.

Lightning Strike Technique!

"Boom!!!"

A thunderbolt struck the swamp, sending up a hundred-foot spray of water. Then, the electric light spread, covering the entire swamp. All the creatures in the water died instantly, including Zhu Ze, who was trying to escape.

Lightning enveloped his entire body, inside and out, crackling and popping, electrocuting him completely.

Zhu Ze convulsed, his head charred, collapsing in the swamp, his eyes wide open, dead in an instant, without any chance of survival.

At the same time, the other escaping person, Xue Hu, was also surrounded and blasted to death by a group of lizards, his head blown apart.

Xu Hei killed both simultaneously, effortlessly.

The difference in strength was overwhelming, a complete and utter crush.

After killing them, Xu Hei didn't pause for a second, immediately rushing towards the two mounds.

"Beasts, you seek death!!!"

A thunderous roar echoed through the mountains.

Elder Ye Haichuan of the Mountain Movers Sect had never been this furious.

His Divine Sense had locked onto Xu Hei's figure from a kilometer away. It was a snake! A snake that spat wind blades, lightning, and controlled puppet beasts, killing his two disciples right under his nose.
