Chapter 1322: Hell Snake King
Qingfeng Li’s face became serious. This hell snake was longer and bigger than any snake-type demonic beast he had ever seen.
Black Puppy’s face changed and it said, "Qingfeng, this is not good. This is the Hell Snake King. I can’t believe we actually encountered it."
After listening to what Black Puppy said, Qingfeng’s face changed. His eyes revealed a touch of surprise.
"Hell Snake King." Qingfeng Li never imagined that he would meet the king of the hell snakes so fast.
"Everyone, hide behind me. Don’t show yourself," Qingfeng Li said to the people around him.
Qingfeng Li walked forward. He knew he could not escape. Since he encountered the Hell Snake King, he knew that it was either the Snake King’s death or his. There was no possibility of reconciliation.
"Human, you dare to break into the first level of Hell? You will die today!" Hell Snake King looked at Qingfeng and said with a strong killing intent.
Qingfeng Li smiled and coldly said, "If you’re just alone, then don’t talk big. Killing you will be a piece of cake..."
"Human, do you think I am by myself? I’ll show you how many of us there are!" The Hell Snake King opened its mouth and roared.
Suddenly, hell snakes were appearing everywhere in the first level of Hell. There were more than 10,000 hell snakes in every single direction, surrounding Qingfeng Li and his group.
Moreover, these hell snakes were very powerful and exuded an evil aura. Their faces were full of murderous intent while they looked at those around them.
At that moment, Qingfeng Li finally knew how those self-cultivators were killed. There were just too many hell snakes. No matter how strong the self-cultivators were, they couldn’t withstand an onslaught of that many hell snakes.
The Hell Snake King’s eyes suddenly focused. It saw Sky-Devouring Snake and said, "You and I are the same species, if you come over here, then I won’t kill you. But I will kill everyone else."
Sky-Devouring Snake shook its head in disdain and said, "You little snake, quickly apologize to Qingfeng. Otherwise, you will be dead before you know it."
When Hell Snake King heard what Sky-Devouring Snake said, a touch of anger appeared in its eyes. Hell Snake King originally wanted to spare it since they were both snakes. It wanted to give Sky-Devouring Snake a chance, but Sky-Devouring Snake was not grateful at all. If that was the case, it will just kill every single one of them, including Sky-Devouring Snake.
After Hell Snake King finished talking, it shook his tail. This was a command, and a dozen hell snakes suddenly swept in from the left. Each snake had a black tongue with black, sharp teeth that they used to fiercely bite at Qingfeng Li’s neck.
Qingfeng Li pulled out his Fire Emperor Sword and forcefully slashed forward, releasing a fierce streak of flame sword energy.
This flame sword energy was really dazzling in contrast to the darkness of the first level of Hell. The flame sword energy was like red bolt of lightning that instantly flashed in front of the hell snakes.
Puchi, Puchi, Puchi ...
A dozen hell snakes were suddenly cut in half by the sharp sword energy. They all fell to the ground and started bleeding black blood. These hell snakes were not Qingfeng Li’s opponent at all.
"Human, I didn’t think you were actually in the half-step Spirit Emperor Realm." The Hell Snake King felt the strength of Qingfeng Li, and a touch of surprise appeared in its eyes.
The Hell Snake King had killed many human self-cultivators before, and it knew that, at Qingfeng Li’s age, there was almost no one that had cultivated to the half-step Spirit Emperor Realm. So to speak, this man’s self-cultivation talent was very high.
The Hell Snake King’s heart was filled with killing intent. It knew that it must kill Qingfeng today, or, he would become a big threat in the future.
"Burn him to death with your flames," the Hell Snake King ordered its underlings that had gathered beside it.
This time, thirty hell snakes came out. They opened their mouths and shot out thirty gusts of black flames toward Qingfeng Li and his group.
The thirty black flames released by the hell snakes were called the Fire of Hell, which was very powerful.
In the ranking of Flames, the Fire of Hell was within the top two hundred flames, and was only a little weaker than Qingfeng Li’s Golden Flames.
Originally, Qingfeng Li wanted to use the Golden Flames but he decided against it. This is because he knew that if he used the Golden Flames now, he would have trouble fighting the Hell Snake King.
Qingfeng Li directly took out the Golden Calabash and shot out a bolt of golden energy, splitting the mass of black flames in half.
But Qingfeng Li was surprised that the black hell ire did not go out, as it continued to fly toward him.
At this time, Sky-Devouring Snake came over and suddenly waved its tail, which extinguished those black flames without a trace.
A touch of praise appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes as he said, "Sky-Devouring Snake, good job. You sure know how to deal with these demonic beasts of your own species."
Sky-Devouring Snake shook its tail and proudly said, "I am their ancestor, and the hell snakes had been one of my branch families. How dare they attack me now? Don’t they know how to respect their ancestors."
Seeing Sky-Devouring Snake’s arrogant face, the Hell Snake King looked even more unhappy and angrily said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you call yourself the ancestor of the snake demonic beasts?et me teach you a lesson."
This time, the Hell Snake King did not attack with the hell snakes near it. Instead, it opened its own mouth and spat out a ball of black flames.
This mass of black flames was five times as hot as the flames that the other hell snakes had breathed out, reaching five thousand degrees Celsius.
Where the black fire passed, the air itself was burned. This black flame created a crackling noise while it quickly flew towards Sky-Devouring Snake.
Sky-Devouring Snake’s face changed, as it felt how dangerous the black flames were.
Although Sky-Devouring Snake was the snake ancestor, Sky-Devouring Snake had not thoroughly awakened its past memories on its cultivation techniques, so it had not recovered its strength. It was not the opponent of the Hell Snake King.
When Qingfeng Li saw the Hell Snake King release its black flame, there was touch of happiness in his eyes. He said in a cold voice, "I was waiting for you to attack. Now it’s my turn!"
Qingfeng Li released the Golden Flames in his body, shooting out against the Hell Snake King’s black flames and then rushing to the Hell Snake King itself.
The Golden Flames were the black flames’s nemesis, which had a temperature of 5,500 degrees Celsius. This temperature was higher than the black flame. When it collided, the black flame was swallowed by the Golden Flames, becoming fuel that helped intensify the current of flames towards the Hell Snake King.
Qingfeng Li’s face was excited, because his Golden Flames ate the black flame. The temperature reached seven thousand degrees Celsius, which was an increase of fifteen hundred degrees Celsius. This temperature was high enough to melt anything.
