Chapter 181: The Annihilation of the Heavenly Snake Sect! Han Ruoxi

At this moment, Xu Chen and the alliance forces stood in tense confrontation with the Heavenly Snake Sect.

The Heavenly Snake's face darkened: "The An Hei Du He naturally seals space—how did you cross it?" He suspected a traitor within, but Han Ruoxi, She Gu, and She Du had never left his sight.

Moreover, the Heavenly Snake Sect's hierarchy was rigid; even a fly leaving would be noticed—they could not possibly have leaked information.

So then, how had this happened?

Xu Chen said coolly: "Naturally, someone leaked information. Your Heavenly Snake Sect's Elder An She is a friend of our alliance."

The An She guarding the An Hei Du He immediately narrowed his pupils: "Master, he's spreading lies, trying to make you kill me."

The Heavenly Snake's gaze grew shadowy—if it were An She, everything made sense.

But if that were so, why had Xu Chen exposed him so directly? Wasn't that meant to force him to kill An She? She Gu said: "Master, Xu Chen is sowing discord—obviously."

She Du nodded: "Master must not be deceived. After all, An She is a formidable Eighth Grade Initial Stage cultivator."

The Heavenly Snake's eyes flickered, then he nodded: "Of course, how could I ever suspect others so casually?" Xu Chen smiled: "You don't believe that? Then look at what's in An She's arms—do you see the alliance's token?"

"This An She has constantly opposed me within the alliance. I have no fondness for traitors like him." As he spoke, Xu Chen unleashed power and struck An She.

The next instant, a token appeared, inscribed with the words "Alliance," and in the lower-left corner, the small characters "An She."

The material, the specific aura—undoubtedly an alliance token.

Xu Chen grinned happily. An She was indeed a traitor within the Heavenly Snake Sect, having provided the alliance with much intelligence—but An She himself was no good either; he was also a traitor to the alliance.

An She had weighed his gains and losses, and once even framed Xu Chen.

So Xu Chen could no longer tolerate him—such a man deserved death.

The Heavenly Snake's face darkened instantly: "An She, you're a traitor? Excellent!" She Gu and She Du also spoke coldly: "We just defended you."

An She cursed Xu Chen furiously inside, hurriedly saying: "I've been framed—it's…" But before he could finish, blood trickled from his lips.

The venom's poison triggered—An She was instantly terminated by the Heavenly Snake.

The Heavenly Snake's face was grim: "I made you a traitor to the alliance, not a traitor to the Heavenly Snake Sect."

You dog, trying to serve both sides—I can't tolerate you."

Xu Chen grinned: "Master, Eighth Grade Perfection—what grandeur."

Xu Chen had entered via Zhao Qingyun's voice transmission. As for how Zhao Qingyun had learned the news—

He had just asked, and it was the Seventh Heavenly Monarch, Zhu Tianjun, who told her.

This Zhu Tianjun governed the world's shadowy aspects, and his cultivation methods were exceedingly dark and cruel.

Yet in loyalty, he was truly beyond reproach.

Zhao Qingyun communicated with Zhu Tianjun through masks—he communicated with Zhao Qingyun the same way.

Thus, no one could detect any trace.

The Heavenly Snake sneered: "Xu Chen, you've come today—but you won't leave. Ten Thousand Serpents Heavenly Devour Array!" She Gu and She Du also spoke coldly: "Ten Complete Puppets, twenty Non-complete Puppets—also deployed."

The moment they finished speaking, countless venomous snakes emerged with hissing sounds.

Each venomous snake, empowered by the Array, possessed strength exceeding Seventh Grade.

The Gu Poison Puppets were identical—each had a Seventh Grade or higher physical body, terrifyingly sharp. Xu Chen also said coolly: "Move. I'll eliminate the Eighth Grade Puppets first."

"Swoosh!"

As he spoke, Xu Chen surged forward to one Eighth Grade Puppet and crushed its skull with a single hand.

Then he closed in for hand-to-hand combat, Protective Qi reinforcing his body, piercing through the Puppet's chest and instantly extracting its Puppet Crystal.

Any Puppet below Eighth Grade Perfection, Xu Chen crushed outright.

In an instant, Xu Chen gained seven more Puppet Crystals, totaling thirty-two.

The remaining three were all Eighth Grade Perfection.

Xu Chen left them to the female lead, then approached Elder She Gu, his face cold. "You crushed an Eighth Grade Late Stage Puppet with one palm?" She Gu, seeing Xu Chen approach, gasped in horror. Xu Chen smiled: "You can have the same treatment." As he spoke, Xu Chen instantly appeared before She Gu, sealed the space, and punched.

She Gu's soul nearly fled—he had weak physicality and tried to transform into black smoke to escape.

The next instant, he panicked—his black smoke had formed, but he couldn't flee at all.

His black smoke avatar was completely sealed.

Xu Chen's Phantom Heavenly Wind Hand struck directly into the black smoke.

She Gu felt the violent impact and let out a shriek, reverting to his true form.

0… please flowers…

Xu Chen immediately gripped She Gu's throat: "Any last words?" She Gu hurriedly said: "Spare me—I'll tell you the Heavenly Snake's weak point." Xu Chen said coolly: "You have no right to bargain with me."

She Gu, terrified, said: "His lower abdomen—it's his seven-inch point. He was once attacked there." Xu Chen's face turned icy: "Then thank you."

As he spoke, Xu Chen snapped She Gu's neck, turning him into a corpse.

Then, Xu Chen did the same to She Du.

Finally, Xu Chen turned to the Heavenly Snake, whose face was utterly pale, and smirked: "I heard your lower abdomen is your weakness."

As he spoke, Xu Chen used the Technique of Shrinking Earth to Instantly Appear before the Heavenly Snake.

His right hand slowly extended, a spiritual light emanating from his index finger, striking straight for the Heavenly Snake's lower abdomen.

The Heavenly Snake recoiled in terror and tried to flee.

But beside him, Bu Fengshuang had already set up an encircling Array—he could not escape, no matter where he turned. The Heavenly Snake, trapped from above and below, fell to his knees with a thud: "Spare me! I'll surrender all the Heavenly Snake Sect's resources!"

Xu Chen smiled: "I seem to be able to obtain all resources without you." The Heavenly Snake gritted his teeth: "The inner chambers are filled with traps…"

But before he could finish, Han Ruoxi's dagger pierced through the Heavenly Snake's chest: "Enough noise!"

The Heavenly Snake stared at Han Ruoxi in disbelief: "It's… you." Han Ruoxi said coldly: "You've coveted me for so long—did you truly think I didn't know?" The Heavenly Snake gritted his teeth, furious: "You—you're who?"

Han Ruoxi's crimson lips curled—suddenly, a shadow appeared on her face, fleeting and gone.

That afterimage was nearly invisible to anyone.

The Heavenly Snake's pupils shrank: "So… you're the one…" But before he could finish, he turned completely into a corpse.

Xu Chen's expression remained calm; of course, he knew who Han Ruoxi's other identity was.
