The Cyan Snake King thought Jiang Feng didn’t understand the Five Elements Array, or at most only knew the basics, never imagining that Jiang Feng not only understood the Five Elements Array, but had cultivated it to a state of Great Perfection.

Especially last time, when he held the gemstone and appeared silently beneath the Academy, Jiang Feng was startled, causing him to burn nearly all his Fortune Points on his Skills.

It was then that the Five Elements Array reached Great Perfection.

This, combined with the Qinglong Cauldron, was the only reason he noticed something was wrong immediately.

And entered the Underground Palace.

Jiang Feng wasn’t only guarding against dangers inside the palace, but also anticipating threats from outside.

Thinking about how to finally deal with the trouble of the Cyan Snake King.

He sought out Han Dong.

When Han Dong found out that Cyan Snake King had mastered Earth Escape and could instantly flee hundreds of meters at once, even the Dragon Bone Bow couldn’t subdue him, Han Dong immediately thought of the Underground Palace.

At that time, Xiao Zhan had already delivered the key to enter the palace into Jiang Feng’s hands.

Han Dong believed the palace was surrounded by a Restriction Array.

Entering was difficult.

Getting out wouldn’t be so easy either.

As long as the Cyan Snake King was lured inside, his Earth Escape would lose effect; could he really pierce the entire palace? Even if he could, he wouldn’t be able to break through the palace’s array.

Jiang Feng found this reasonable.

So he brought the Little Cyan Snake into the Underground Palace as well.

He’d known before that the Cyan Snake Demon clan possessed a unique method of transmission; bringing Little Cyan Snake down meant it would surely notify the Cyan Snake King.

So long as the Cyan Snake King entered the palace...

Unable to flee far away, he could kill him and resolve this major problem.

And as expected, the Cyan Snake King fell for it.

But to catch him off guard, he also brought the Barefoot Monk to help.

Nearly got Jiang Feng into serious trouble.

"Swish swish swish!"

Seeing Fortune Points grow, Jiang Feng felt certain the Barefoot Monk was no longer a threat; he fired another arrow backhand and kept chasing after the Cyan Snake King.

Arrow after arrow flashed forth.

Each shot hit with precision and would not cease until the goal was achieved.

The Cyan Snake King suffered a critical blow.

The Cyan Snake Cold Qi couldn’t freeze all of Jiang Feng’s arrows, only resisting with his physical body and other magics.

Desperate, he fled toward the exit.

"Swish swish swish!"

Jiang Feng pursued relentlessly.

Always aiming for the vital spots of the Cyan Snake King, wishing he could roast him alive.

He knew that if he couldn’t kill the Cyan Snake King this time, he’d never get another chance; if that bastard evolved, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, the Cyan Snake King screamed in agony. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

His body entered the tunnel, but was bounced back.

On the edge of the plaza, Little Cyan Snake heard the scream, tears brimming as it rushed over.

"What happened?"

Jiang Feng’s expression grew tense.

A layer of red radiance appeared inside the tunnel, growing thicker and thicker, looking like a pool of blood, blocking the Cyan Snake King’s path.

It even formed bloody shackles, winding around the Cyan Snake King.

At the same time—

Jiang Feng felt he’d entered a purgatory of blood.

Blood-colored shackles rose all around him.

But they were blocked by the Qinglong Cauldron above his head.

The golden barrier, with its dragon-shaped shadow erupting, twisted under the tightening of the bloody shackles, but remained unbroken.

"What is this?"

Jiang Feng was dumbfounded.

He manipulated the Qinglong Cauldron to resist.

Watching the bloody shackles, especially the blood-light penetrating the golden screen, Jiang Feng felt unwell, as if thousands of ants were crawling toward him.

"Bang!"

Suddenly—

A blood-red giant hand appeared overhead, slamming hard onto the Qinglong Cauldron, its five claws gripping and trying to snatch it away by force.

But it only made the golden barrier before Jiang Feng tremble; the cauldron didn’t budge at all.

Instead, the power of the Qinglong Cauldron made the bloody hand start to dissolve, rivers of blood poured down from above.

Jiang Feng felt like he was standing beneath a blood pool.

Boiling blood swirled around him.

"Blood God Curse—it’s Mo Changlin!"

The Cyan Snake King roared furiously.

Previously, he had teamed up with the Loose Cultivator, forcing Mo Changlin to abandon the Divine Sect and flee wounded, believing he’d hidden within the Sea of Blood. But it turned out Mo Changlin had always been in the Central Earth, secretly biding his time in the Dragon Capital.

Using the Blood God Curse, he made both him and Jiang Feng pay heavily.

But Jiang Feng’s predicament was far better than the Cyan Snake King’s.

Firstly, he had the protection of the Qinglong Cauldron.

Secondly, he was at peak strength, unlike the Cyan Snake King who had been beaten bloody by the Dragon Bone Bow, now also trapped in the Blood God Curse, his condition dire.

Life was slipping away.

And slipping away in agony.

"Sss sss!"

"Grandpa!"

A young, hoarse cry came from behind.

"Don’t go near the blood-light, run!"

The Cyan Snake King yelled.

Jiang Feng looked back.

He saw Little Cyan Snake.

It could actually speak in human tongue.

At this moment, on Little Cyan Snake’s brow, a scale gleamed, crystal clear like a green gemstone, casting a gentle light.

The Cyan Snake King, seeing Little Cyan Snake in this form, was stirred to his core, yet his situation made him deeply anxious for the little one’s future.

"Grandpa!"

Little Cyan Snake cried like an infant.

The blood-light around seemed to react, rushing toward Little Cyan Snake.

"Run!"

The Cyan Snake King shouted.

With a whiz, Little Cyan Snake vanished and appeared a hundred meters away.

"Boom!"

An arm shot out from the blood-light, grabbing for Little Cyan Snake.

Little Cyan Snake retreated again.

It withdrew to the edge of the plaza.

And could only watch from afar as events unfolded inside the tunnel.

The arm pulled back.

There seemed to be some distance limit.
