Chapter 554: Chapter 420: Fang Family Ancestor’s Dying Counterattack (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Ten Thousand Mountains, the night is as dark as ink, the vast mountains stretch out under the ink brush, like giant beasts ready to devour people, countless roars send shivers down one’s spine.

At this moment, in the sky above, amidst the clouds, a small black-roofed boat, three zhang long, sails through the air, concealed amidst the misty clouds, moving swiftly yet silently like a swimming fish through water.

On the deck at the bow, four figures stand tall, leading the way, a man in green clothes standing with hands behind his back, his attire flaring, eyes shining with golden light, surveying the pitch-black mist ahead as if with divine vision.

The three behind him have eyes as sharp as blades, maintaining vigilance, their bodies somewhat tense.

The four are none other than Chen Yuan and the Three Grand Protectors of Taisui Mountain!

The reason for the tension in their spirits is because they have now entered the territory of one of the Ten Evils, the Heavenly Dog!

Brother Chen has finally received news from outside the mountain and is ready to act.

Fully aware of the dangers and uncertainties of this journey, the Three Grand Protectors do not dare to relax, invigorating their spirits.

They are currently advancing towards the depths of Yin Mountain, clearly showing a departure from their previous path.

Previously, they bypassed areas dense with demonic energy, led by Chen Yuan towards desolate and secluded places, remaining unnoticed. Now, beneath the clouds, demonic roars resound frequently, occasionally sensing formidable demonic energies sweeping past their trajectory.

Fortunately, the ship’s divine skills to conceal its presence are extraordinary, and Brother Chen’s divine eyes provide early warnings; they have encountered no obstacles along the way.

After approximately thirty minutes, the Three Grand Protectors gradually feel a change in the air around them, from the slight coolness of the dark night to a rising heat, and as they continue forward, the temperature increases and the fiery aura in the air becomes more intense.

Soon, the swiftly advancing small black-roofed boat gradually comes to a halt, Chen Yuan standing at the bow, raises his sleeve towards the ground below.

Immediately, the clouds below disperse, revealing a dark red night sky!

The four look down, and clearly visible below is a dense group of volcanoes, the pungent sulfurous black smoke rising in pillars to the long sky, red lava flows like the blood of the earth across the scorched black ground, a shocking sight causing alarm.

Within the volcanoes, piercing screams can be heard, shredding metal and splitting stone.

Among them, in the red lava river below, a seven to eight zhang long black snake can be seen bathing in the lava, spewing fire essence, stirring wind and waves. Its black serpent body resembles a centipede, segmented layer by layer, its most prominent feature being its tail, forked and hooked, emitting a sharp cold light.

Chen Yuan retracts his gaze from this peculiar black snake, then raises his right hand, spreads his palm, and in an instant, a golden light rises from his palm, displaying a map.

His left hand moves across the map, then points at a place.

Golden light emerges, with the image of a snake appearing on it.

The image is strikingly similar to the snake below.

Meanwhile, a string of information surfaces in Chen Yuan’s mind, "Xianti Mountain, located to the west of Yin Mountain, mountains with fiery lava rivers, hooked snake residing within, its tail has a fork."

"We’ve arrived!" Chen Yuan grips his palm, the golden light extinguishes, confirming the information, his eyes radiating a sharp cold light, he looks below and slowly speaks:

"This place is called Xianti Mountain, to the west of Yin Mountain, the snakes living in this region are called Hooked Snakes, they are subordinate to the Heavenly Dog Clan, further west is the Yin Mountain where the Heavenly Dogs reside!"

"We will start from here!"

Beside him, Jin Yushan timely takes over the conversation, without objection, only with some doubt, "Brother Chen, what is the plan? Why not go directly to Yin Mountain? Brother Chen mentioned the information from outside the mountain confirms that the Heavenly Dog Clan’s transmission array is a laurel tree within their clan, why not go there and act accordingly?"

Chen Yuan shakes his head, "The risk is too great!"

"We know nothing about that place, rushing in blindly will result in too many uncontrollable variables. The Heavenly Dogs are one of the Ten Evils, even if sealed for a thousand years, their heritage is hard to fathom, there may be ancient demons still in the world, possessing unfathomable methods that would detect us."

"Whereas a demon mountain like Xianti Mountain, which is a subordinate demon race to the Heavenly Dogs, poses relatively less danger. Additionally, the Heavenly Dog Clan is currently mobilizing troops outside the mountains, the Hooked Snake tribe is among them. We can use this path to infiltrate Yin Mountain and investigate information regarding Yin Mountain and that tree. This is my current strategy!"

"If anything changes, we will adapt accordingly!"

The three of Jin Yushan, upon hearing this, utter no unnecessary words, their hearts resolute, "Then we will follow Brother Chen’s plan!"

Chen Yuan nods, his foot shakes the deck, the small black-roofed boat below hums, the enveloping white mist rolls, immediately becoming a smoke concealed in the night, heading straight for Xianti Mountain below.

.......

Meanwhile, as Chen Yuan and others infiltrate Xianti Mountain, thousands of miles away, on the eastern border of Gu Diao, Da Kui Mountain is shaking with earth-shattering sounds, the void quivers, incredible spirit lights cleave through the night sky, echoed by terrifying demonic roars howling through the sky.

Beneath the brilliant night sky, countless feathers pierce through the sky, impressively fierce, carrying a keen air whistling, shooting towards a giant figure in the sky!

Heads of Gu Diao, whether green, red, or silver, soar through the sky like eagles, their bodies seeming crafted from divine iron, gleaming with intense treasured light, deploying magnificent divine skills to besiege the enormous dharma image at the center.

In the storm’s center, the enormous dharma image stands one hundred and twenty zhang tall, akin to a great mountain. At this time, the dharma image is tainted with demonic blood, brows and eyes brimming with blood threads. Upon closer inspection, the brows and eyes are none other than those of the fugitive Fang Family Ancestor.

At this moment, this Fang Family Ancestor’s dharma image is cracking, the black flame of creation he comprehended is reduced to mere zhang-wide, severed by feathered divine lights, with the most brutal consequence being the empty arms, a result of the previous besiegement, finally escaping like a stray dog.

Yet now, once again besieged, he is depleted, no longer able to resist, leaving only death as the path forward.

At this time, all around the void, four radiant divine lights, tall demonic shadows clad in scales and carrying wings, their eyes flickering with fierce demonic light, watch the Fang Family Ancestor, continuously launching feathered divine lights like a myriad of sword lights, intending to grind this person to death.

"Puff"

"Puff"

"Puff"

Watching the creation divine fire he spent years painstakingly comprehending being extinguished inch by inch,

the Fang Family Ancestor, previously blinded by rage and engaged in fierce battle with these demons, now finally feels the fear of death, along with an indescribable anger and resentment.

He shouts, "You cannot kill me, I have the mark of that Colonel!"

"I can’t find him; he tricked me! He tricked me!"

"If you want him, go find him yourself!"

The Fang Family Ancestor, his eyes full of blood threads, feigns madness, his eyes bulging hideously.

It’s you that’s damned, Ninth Mountain’s Colonel!
