Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Xuanshe Guiwu is a general term for Xuanwu. Han Feng previously obtained the Xuanwu tortoise shell inheritance in another place in the Tagor Desert.

Unexpectedly, there were still traces of the Xuan Snake's energy in this place!

Han Feng gently touched the surface of the stone door, and a damp sensation spread to his hand.

Such pure water elements; in terms of energy quality, it's even stronger than the Nine-Element Spirit Water we obtained last time.

"You can't go in!"

The snake-man elder said tremblingly.

Even though the invisible pressure in her heart had reached its peak when she stood in front of Han Feng, she still managed to hold on.

"They are receiving the inheritance of the power of the Xuan Snake. If they are disturbed at this moment, all their efforts will be in vain!"

Han Feng glanced at the other person.

The elder wasn't lying, but given her Douhuang level knowledge, she was seriously underestimating the power of the Xuan Snake.

Han Feng released his soul power and felt a resistance when it touched the stone gate.

However, when he activated the Xuanwu Heavenly Ancestor Scripture, this barrier instantly disappeared, and he became very close to it.

Han Feng stepped into the stone gate, passed through a water-film-like barrier, and disappeared from the sight of the four elders.

"this....."

The Grand Elder watched this scene with astonishment and suspicion.

Aside from ancestral rituals, this was the first time they had ever seen anyone else pass through the stone gate so easily and enter the place of inheritance.

"Won't he disrupt the ritual?"

An elder got up and asked.

"I don't know, but we have to prepare for the worst."

That man was incredibly strong, far beyond what the four of them could handle.

"Do you want to go?"

"The Queen hasn't come out yet."

"That's too late!"

The Grand Elder made a decisive decision.

"Retreat immediately! This place is no place to stay!"

The other three exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

While the Queen is important, compared to worrying about Medusa, there is another prodigy in the ancestral land who can represent the future of the Serpent People.

Before the enemy comes out, she must be moved to a safe place. Under no circumstances should that man see her!

After Han Feng entered the stone gate, he found that the scene inside was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

I originally thought there would be plenty of water here, but after entering, I realized that the place had long since dried up.

Where did that powerful, pure water vapor come from?

Han Feng couldn't help but wonder.

Is it simply to attract others to come in?

That shouldn't be the case. Without cultivating the "Xuanwu Tianzu Scripture," it would be quite difficult for Han Feng to pass through the barrier unless he forcibly demolished the door.

"No, there's another secret realm inside."

Han Feng rushed towards the interior.

Black Snake Water Realm.

Medusa and Cai'er stood back to back, working together to fend off the water snakes formed from condensed water vapor within the barrier.

What's chilling is that these water snakes' bodies are visibly blood-red.

This blood-red color is a product of the sacrificial ceremony.

"Damn it, those old-fashioned, conservative bastards, they've really angered me this time!"

Medusa's eyes were filled with fierce anger.

The four elders claimed to be working for the Snake People, but then they sacrificed their own people to open the Gate of the Black Serpent. They even said that if one of them inherited the power of the Black Serpent, the Snake People would surely rise above the rest of the continent!

Medusa had no doubt about the four elders' loyalty to the snake people, but that loyalty had become tainted.

The Serpent People are fearless in the face of sacrifice. During their battles against the four great empires, countless Serpent People died, but no one complained about it afterward.

But this absurd way of dying truly humiliated Medusa.

The benefits she is receiving now were bought with the lives of her people.

Compared to Medusa's anger, Cai'er was very calm, even solemn.

Even with her strength as an eight-star Dou Zun, she was unable to break through this strange barrier.

laugh!

Cai'er spat out a mouthful of blood, which flowed into the water.

"Cai'er, how are you?"

Medusa asked, both worried and remorseful.

If she weren't so weak, Cai'er wouldn't have gotten injured while taking care of herself.

Cai'er shook her head.

"It's alright, you just focus on resting and conserving your energy. We'll survive together!"

Medusa gritted her teeth, looked at Cai'er's unyielding gaze, and nodded.

To be honest, if it weren't for Cai'er's insistence, Medusa might have chosen to end her own life long ago.

This barrier is very strange; it constantly sacrifices itself to the life forms within the formation and then nourishes the most powerful being within the barrier.

In other words, once this barrier is activated, only one person can ultimately emerge.

Based on ability, Cai'er is the one who will survive to the end.

However, in order to protect Medusa, Cai'er sacrificed several mouthfuls of her own blood essence to prevent the barrier from harming Medusa.

Seeing Cai'er's increasingly pale face, Medusa was extremely anxious and wished she could sacrifice herself to save her life.

She wasn't joking; she genuinely wanted to do it if the opportunity arose.

However, Cai'er is now keeping a close eye on Medusa's every move, and will intervene to stop her if she tries to commit suicide.

"Don't worry, Han Feng will come to save us. We just need to wait."

Cai'er gave Medusa a comforting smile, soothing her anxious heart.

Medusa wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Fool!"

The blood serpent launched another attack, and the strange power made Cai'er unconsciously frown.

This is the pressure of the laws, even stronger than her current strength.

A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, which was then quickly absorbed by the barrier.

This was no longer Cai'er's blood, which she had willingly offered as a sacrifice; rather, it was blood she had coughed up due to injury from being unable to withstand the pressure.

The situation is getting worse little by little.

If I had known, I wouldn't have come in.

Cai'er thought to herself.

In fact, she had no feelings for the snake people, unlike Medusa, who, as the queen, was concerned about the lives of the snake people.

If she hadn't come in, Medusa might have been able to live to the end easily, and I wouldn't have had to face this difficult choice.

She wanted to survive and see Han Feng again.

The man she saw the moment she opened her eyes.

Chapter 252 Gift

The tiny snakes formed from the condensation of blood and water vapor gradually merged in the air, transforming into a gigantic blood python.

Crimson light shot out from the snake's eyes, and the battle energy within the barrier began to boil.

Cai'er swallowed hard, clenched her hands, and prepared to face the opponent's next fierce attack.

As Medusa watched Cai'er's retreating figure, a voice suddenly echoed in her heart: Let her go, let Cai'er sacrifice herself. In this way, all of Cai'er's life essence will become her own nourishment. At that time, she will become a Dou Zun, surpassing 99% of the people on the Dou Qi Continent.

The power within her originally belonged to her; she was simply reclaiming it.

A crimson glint appeared in Medusa's eyes.

At this moment, incredibly tempting ideas filled her mind.

The opportunity to become a high-level Dou Zun in one step was right in front of her.

within reach.

She didn't have to do anything; she just had to watch as the other person offered her his lifeblood, mouthful after mouthful, until he died.

Medusa's body began to tremble violently; the instinct to kill one's own kind seemed to be etched into the bloodline genes of the snake people.

Whether it's a cold-blooded snake or a hot-blooded person, there are selfish genes hidden in their bodies.

When faced with a situation where they need to devour their own kind to satisfy their own interests, they will not hesitate for long.

Medusa's right hand glowed with red battle aura, the crimson mist forming sharp, tooth-like shapes with a blood-red, cold light at the tip.

The moment Cai'er and the blood-red python clashed, the restraints on him would weaken, and that would be the best opportunity.

Swish!

The giant python began to move, and Cai'er also used all her skills to fight against it.

Intense battle energy exploded within the barrier, and in an instant, the restrictions on Medusa's body broke.

The crimson light in her eyes blazed brightly, as if she wanted to devour the person in front of her.

"What a joke!"

Medusa gritted her teeth.

"I am the Snake Queen!"

Swish!

The five sharp fangs and claws, halfway through their extension, changed direction and struck the blood-red snake shadow ahead.

After years of accumulation, Medusa's cultivation has reached the level of a nine-star Dou Zong, only one step away from becoming a Dou Zun.

But it was precisely this one step that Medusa failed to overcome.

Advancing from the seventh to the eighth rank is not a difficult task for top geniuses, but for cultivators who are slightly inferior, the Dou Zun rank is the limit they can reach.

Medusa hasn't broken through yet, not because of a lack of talent. If she continues to cultivate, the probability of her breaking through to Dou Zun is not small, but that will take time.

It's not common sense that one can easily advance to a higher level in just two years.

It's important to know that before evolving into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, Medusa had cultivated to the level of a Dou Huang for no less than a hundred years.

boom!

The claw strike landed on the blood-red python, but didn't cause much of a ripple.

On the contrary, Medusa, who made the move, coughed up a mouthful of blood due to the churning of her internal fighting energy, which quickly flowed into the giant python's body.

"Sasha, conserve your energy! Don't attack recklessly!"

Cai'er said seriously.

Medusa shook her head.

"Either we live in battle, or we die together!"

She wouldn't answer such a ridiculous choice: only one of them could survive.
