The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

"Ah! I don't want to die!"

A shrill roar resounded through the sky, as if it could shatter the surrounding void.

The man was in a huge black vortex, his body involuntarily spinning with the air flow, his eyes wide open, filled with endless fear and despair.

He roared to the sky: "Is he a human or a ghost? Why is he so powerful? Why are all our attacks ineffective against him?!"

At this moment, the originally handsome face had been distorted by extreme fear, anger, regret and near madness.

Every muscle line was trembling, veins bulged on his forehead, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, mixing with the dust on his face to form dirty traces.

"Damn it! What the hell is this damn black energy? How can it bind the spiritual power in my body like a cage!"

The other man roared with gritted teeth, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and blood flowed from his fingertips.

However, even though he was filled with rage, he was still unable to break free from the confinement of the mysterious black energy.

"Damn it! Don't let me get the chance! Otherwise, I will never let you off easily! I will tear you into pieces and chop you into pieces!"

A burly young man with flaming eyes stared at the figure in the black vortex, cursing non-stop.

He watched helplessly as the monks around him lost their combat effectiveness one by one under the erosion of the black air, and some even died. The anger in his heart had reached its peak.

……

At the same time, the world outside the vortex had already been drowned by the screams of thousands of monks.

The sound came one after another, like the howling of evil spirits from hell, which was creepy.

The ghost snake stood above the vortex, looking down coldly at the group of human monks below who were struggling for survival like ants.

A hint of satisfaction appeared on its hideous face, and bursts of terrifying laughter emanated from its mouth:

"Hahahaha, you guys, who don't know your own limitations, dare to take my life? What a foolish dream! What a pity! Just become my blood meal! Trickster Thorns!"

Following the ghost snake's command, the ground suddenly shook violently, and then thick, dark green vines covered with sharp poisonous thorns emerged from the ground like bamboo shoots after rain.

They pounced on the group of monks whose spiritual power was restricted with lightning speed, causing a bloody storm wherever they passed.

Those poor monks had no time to react before the poisonous stings pierced their bodies, and their cries of pain resounded through the sky.

Some monks fell directly from mid-air, landing heavily on the ground, splashing pools of scarlet blood;

Some monks relied on their hidden magic weapons or secret techniques to barely withstand this fierce attack, but they were also wounded and dying.

"Hahahaha, do you really think you can kill me? That's just wishful thinking!"

The Huayue Sect's late-stage Spiritual Realm cultivator glared angrily and laughed wildly at the enemy before him, "Everyone, I believe you have all seen the situation clearly by now.

We are already in a desperate situation. If we don't use our best tricks, we will probably die here today!"

As he shouted loudly, he looked around at the remaining two hundred monks, his eyes full of anxiety and determination.

"That's right! At this point, only unity can give us a chance to escape from this place!"

At this time, a young man stepped forward from the crowd. He shouted loudly with a serious expression, and without hesitation took out a sixth-grade top-grade ice talisman that was shining with mysterious light from his arms.

Then, he gathered all his spiritual power and threw the extremely precious talisman towards the huge vortex in front of him.

In an instant, a dazzling cold light suddenly burst out, sweeping in all directions like a surging cold current.

Wherever the bone-chilling cold passed, the air seemed to be frozen into ice chips, floating down.

The vortex that was originally spinning rapidly began to slow down significantly under the impact of this powerful cold air, as if it was being held tightly by an invisible giant hand.

"Great! It works!"

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but cheered in unison.

However, before they could be happy for too long, a low roar suddenly came from the vortex, as if it was the roar of an evil spirit from the Nine Nether Hell.

Along with this terrifying sound, an even more violent force gushed out from the depths of the vortex, instantly shattering the newly formed ice layer.

"Damn it! This devil is so powerful! But even so, we must not retreat!"

The young man who took the initiative to attack roared with gritted teeth,

"Everyone, we're going to die anyway, so why not fight it to the death and see if this evil creature is more powerful or if our trump card is stronger! How can we cultivators just sit there and wait to be slaughtered!"

Upon hearing this, many monks present responded one after another. For a moment, the crowd was excited and murderous intent was overwhelming.

In an instant, the children of various large families and powerful forces acted quickly. Without hesitation, they took out the most precious treasures given to them by their predecessors.

In some hands, a lifelike aura incarnation of an imperial cultivator appeared, emitting a powerful and frightening aura;

Some held magical weapons that contained the full force of an emperor-level warrior, their light shining brightly;

Others showed off their extremely precious seventh-level attack talismans, with runes flickering on the talisman paper, mysterious and unpredictable;

What's more, some of them even used high-level defense or attack formations, which were bright and magnificent for a moment.

However, the number of monks who possess these top treasures is actually quite rare. After all, not everyone is fortunate enough to be born into a prominent family and a powerful force to obtain such precious resource support.

When the ghost snake saw the cards these people showed, it not only did not show any fear, but the corners of its mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer of contempt.

The look on his face was as if he was already aware of everything that was happening before his eyes and had it completely under control.

"Haha, this is exactly what I've been waiting for. Now let me show you the power of my trump card."

As the ghost snake's eerie voice rang out, it slowly raised its right arm and gently clenched it towards the void.

In an instant, the originally calm black air vortex began to roll violently, and the space within it continued to shrink at an alarming speed.

Faced with this sudden change, the monks hurriedly activated their trump cards to launch an attack, trying to break this strange black air vortex.

But no matter how hard they tried, all their powerful attacks were like a drop in the ocean and could not break through the ever-shrinking black vortex barrier.

"What kind of evil magic is this? Why can't even the full-strength attack of an Emperor Realm expert do anything to this damn vortex?"

The trump cards they released had little effect on the vortex, but instead attacked themselves who were in the vortex. Every monk roared in horror, his voice full of despair and unwillingness.

"It's over! It's over! It's all over now!" Screams of terror rang out one after another. Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the terrible vortex with despair on their faces.

Some unfortunate monks were sucked into it by the powerful suction force and were strangled in an instant without even a chance to resist.

The faces of every monk present turned as pale as paper, and fear and despair filled their hearts.

However, all this was irreversible, and they could only watch as those around them were brutally devoured one by one.

"Humph, greed is humanity's most fatal weakness! Look at your current situation, who can you blame?

You brought this upon yourselves! Don't be unwilling to accept this, just accept your death.

Don't worry, after I suck all your blood dry, there will be more people going down to accompany you, hahahaha..."

The ghost snake laughed wildly, and its hideous and distorted face looked even more terrifying.

As the ghost snake waved its hand, the bodies of the monks who had just died on the ground slowly floated into the air.

Immediately afterwards, a horrifying scene appeared - the blood in the corpses seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, and it continuously rushed towards the ghost snake.

In the blink of an eye, the ghost snake's body was covered in scarlet blood, looking like a demon crawling out from the depths of hell.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

After madly sucking the blood of thousands of cultivators during this period, the Ghost Snake's originally damaged strength was finally fully restored, and it climbed to the peak level of the Emperor Realm in one fell swoop.

At this moment, the ghost snake exuded a heart-pounding aura. It slowly opened its blood-red eyes, revealing endless evil and murderous intent.

"Hehehe, it's time to clean out the remaining monks in the secret realm!

I really hope to catch them all in one fell swoop and put all their blood into my pocket.

Maybe, after I suck all the blood dry, my strength will be able to successfully break through to the Venerable Realm, hahahaha..."

The ghost snake laughed sinisterly, and the laughter echoed throughout the space, making people shudder.

"I will follow the orders of Lord Snake Demon General!"

Mo Kui and more than twenty other demon servants standing by responded in unison, their voices uniform and full of awe.

The Ghost Snake transferred all the cultivation resources in the storage rings of the dead monks to the highest-grade storage ring. After doing these things, he led Mo Kui and others to kill indiscriminately in the secret realm.

Wherever it passed, whether it was a human or a monster, their blood would be sucked dry and turned into a pile of dry bones. After all, if the ghost snake wanted to recover to its peak, it had to absorb enough blood.

……

"A month has passed, and such a big thing happened in Yao's area, but now, no one has come out of it.

It seems that thousands of monks have met with misfortune and are in grave danger."

At this moment, Zhang Chentao, who had been diligently collecting resources in the secret realm for a month, was leisurely holding a furry dogtail grass in his mouth.

He paused for a moment, and cast his gaze towards the unfathomable abyss in the distance, a hint of relief in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Chentao, who had been relaxing, suddenly became serious, his eyes instantly became extremely cold, and he shouted in a deep voice:

"Who! Come out!" His voice was like thunder, exploding in the silent forest.

Accompanied by the sound of light footsteps and branches being plucked, Zhang Chenting walked out slowly from the grass behind with a smile on his face.

Shangguan Jing and Hua Xian'er followed closely behind him like two light butterflies.

"Hey, brother, it's only been a short time since we last met, how come you don't even recognize me? Oh my, you really make me sad."

As Zhang Chenting spoke, he deliberately pretended to be heartbroken.

When Zhang Chentao saw that the person coming was his brother Zhang Chenting, whom he had not seen for a long time, he was stunned at first, then his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Especially when he noticed the two beautiful women following closely behind Zhang Chenting - Shangguan Jing and Hua Xian'er, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"Oh my god! Brother Ting, you're amazing! It's only been a little over a month since we last met, and you, a straight man who usually doesn't understand romance, have actually managed to hook up with two such stunning beauties.

"Could it be that your dull and stiff demeanor was all just an act? Are you actually... a hidden master at picking up girls?"

Zhang Chentao pointed at Zhang Chenting and shouted as if he had discovered some huge secret.

"How can you talk like that? What do you mean by hooking up? You are obviously jealous~" Hearing his younger brother's words, Zhang Chenting walked to his side, put his arm on his shoulder, and teased him.

"Um, let's not talk about this for now. Do you know that we got the light a month ago?" Zhang Chentao was speechless for a moment and asked the three people.

"I know, that's a terrifying demon who has appeared in the world, suspected to have reached the peak of the emperor realm!

Those monks who rushed there excitedly to look for treasure have unfortunately become food and nutrients for the devil.

Originally, I was thinking that with your personality, you would definitely not be able to resist and join in the fun.

As it turned out, who would have thought that you didn't go? Hey, this is really beyond my expectation!"

As he spoke, Zhang Chenting smiled and gave him a thumbs up to express his appreciation.

Hearing this, Zhang Chentao couldn't help but look suspicious and asked, "Demon? How did you know this?"

Zhang Chenting turned around, pointed behind him, and said, "Of course it was Hua Xianer who told me.

You know, I fought that devil thousands of years ago."

Hearing this, Zhang Chentao looked in the direction Zhang Chenting pointed, and his gaze fell on the flower fairy, whose appearance was slightly strange but exceptionally beautiful. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and asked:

"She's fought that devil? Could it be that she's already strong enough to enter the Emperor Realm? Isn't it said that any Emperor Realm cultivator cannot enter this secret realm?"

Facing Zhang Chentao's question, Zhang Chenting smiled slightly and explained softly:

"Hehe, why haven't you thought of another possibility? Perhaps this flower fairy is a creature that originally grew up in this secret realm, and doesn't belong to our human race."

After Zhang Chenting's reminder, Zhang Chentao suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly:

"I see, no wonder... Then, in your opinion, what should we do now? Should we continue searching for various rare resources here?"

"Of course! That devil will definitely not let go of the cultivators in the secret realm, but this has nothing to do with us. We will continue to look for resources. If we encounter that devil, we will use the trump card given by Seventh Brother to destroy him." Zhang Chenting said confidently.

"That's right. With the trump card given by Brother Seven, I don't think that devil can cause any trouble."
