System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Upon seeing this, Zhang Qilin's eyes sharpened, but he did not back down; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit even more.

He suddenly leaped up again, the black gold ancient sword spinning like the wind in his hand, forming an impenetrable net of blades that neutralized the black snake's attacks one by one.

The glint of blades and the shadow of snakes intertwined, producing a series of ear-piercing metallic clangs, sparks flying, illuminating everything around them.

However, the black snake was no ordinary creature; it seemed to sense Zhang Qilin's intentions, and each of its attacks was exceptionally cunning and ruthless.

Although Zhang Qilin was able to barely withstand it, he could also feel the intense threat emanating from the black snake.

He knew that if this continued, he would eventually run out of energy.

Just then, Wu Tianzhen and Fatty were also busy.

They each used their special skills, throwing hidden weapons, setting traps, or launching surprise attacks, in an attempt to distract the man in black and the black snake.

The group worked together seamlessly, as if they had rehearsed countless times, with each movement perfectly coordinated with the others.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the men in black's face grew even more grim.

He hadn't expected these four young people to be so formidable; they were not only strong but also worked together seamlessly.

But he also understood that now was a critical moment, and they had to go all out to win.

So he activated his Gu technique again, preparing to launch an even more ferocious attack...

The leader of the men in black had a cold glint in his eyes, as if he could see through all falsehood and fear.

As his deep and powerful incantation resounded, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and an indescribable dark power gathered in his palm. Then, the originally serpentine black snake seemed to receive some mysterious summons, and its body suddenly swelled up, transforming into a terrifying black python.

This giant python is over ten meters long, resembling a demon in the night. Its scales gleam with a cold, hard light under the moonlight, each one indestructible, like the hardest armor, which even the sharpest weapon in the world cannot penetrate.

Zhang Qilin gripped the black-gold ancient sword tightly in his hand. A dark golden luster flowed across the blade, and each swing of the sword carried a whistling sound as it tore through the air. But even so, when the sharp ancient sword struck the giant python's scales, it only stirred up a few sparks and failed to leave any marks.

Seeing this, the man in black curled his lips into a mocking smile. His laughter pierced the silent night, seemingly a sneer at Zhang Hao and his group's helplessness. "So what if you're powerful? You'll still fall into my hands."

His voice echoed around, carrying an unquestionable authority and confidence.

However, Zhang Hao and his group were not intimidated by the other party's arrogance.

"Don't be too happy yet. Brother Zhang Hao just hasn't made a move yet. Once he does, he can make you disappear from this world in an instant!"

"Uncle, let's teach them a lesson!"

Without saying much, Zhang Hao moved with the speed of a cheetah, instantly closing the distance between himself and the giant python.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Zhang Hao effortlessly unleashed a punch.

The air seemed to be torn apart at that moment, and an overwhelming force, accompanied by the wind from the punch, roared out and directly struck the seemingly impenetrable head of the giant python.

A deafening "boom" resounded.

The giant python's massive body was as fragile as paper under this attack. Its head exploded instantly, turning into a cloud of blood mist that filled the air before finally dissipating into nothingness.

This scene shocked everyone present. They had never seen such a breathtaking sight, nor did they expect that this seemingly ordinary young man could unleash such amazing strength.

After a brief silence, even more heated discussions and exclamations erupted.

The leader of the men in black looked extremely ugly; he clearly hadn't expected Zhang Hao to be so powerful.

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and Zhang Qilin were filled with excitement and pride.

Zhang Hao stood there calmly, clearly indicating that the attack he had just suffered was nothing to him.

He surveyed his surroundings, his eyes revealing an unwavering resolve: "No matter who you are, no matter how strong you are, if you threaten the safety of me, my family, and my friends, I will make sure you get away with it!"

The leader of the men in black's natal Gu, the once fearsome black python, disintegrated with Zhang Hao's decisive strike. This not only signified victory but also symbolized the complete destruction of the core of the leader's power.

He staggered a few steps, but finally couldn't hold on any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood, his heart filled with despair.

His body slowly fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, filled with resentment and astonishment, as if he could not accept that he had been defeated by such a seemingly insignificant young man.

Upon seeing this, the men in black around them turned ashen-faced, fear and despair churning in their hearts.

They knew that without the protection of their leader and their natal Gu, they would be powerless against these formidable opponents.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, they all knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly, begging for mercy with trembling, tearful voices.

Zhang Hao did not step forward immediately, but stood still, coldly scrutinizing these once arrogant and domineering men in black.

He knew that although they seemed weak and vulnerable at this moment, their underlying motives and secrets could not be ignored.

Then he spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful: "Tell me, why have you come? What secrets does this village hold that would make you willing to pay any price to obtain it?"

Among the men in black, the older one trembled as he raised his head, his eyes filled with fear and pleading.

"My lord, spare our lives! We were originally a medium-sized gang in the area. We heard that there was a sacred place here, containing the tomb of immortals, and the secret method of immortality was hidden in the tomb."

We...we were blinded by greed, seeking immortality, which led us astray and caused us to commit such a grave mistake.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao frowned.

Immortality has been the dream and pursuit of countless people since ancient times, but how many have actually achieved it? Moreover, to do so for such an elusive thing is to harm the innocent and plunder resources, which is truly outrageous.

"Immortality?"

Zhang Hao sneered, "You kill innocent people indiscriminately for the sake of some vague rumor. If that's the case, then you don't need to live in this world!"

Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen seeds appeared in Zhang Hao's palm. They seemed to have eyes, accurately hitting each of the men in black.

They instantly turned into a bloody mist and disappeared.

The surrounding villagers were stunned at first, then knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Hao.

"Thank you so much for saving my life!"

"Thank you so much for saving my life!"

"Thank you so much for saving my life!"
