Chapter 1 The Wilderness

In the wilderness.

Zhang Ji's tiger-like Lingtai radiated mental energy to sense the surroundings, searching for any other arrivals, but found nothing.

He was disappointed.

"It seems only one came." Zhang Ji slowly raised his head, ready to strike, but saw a streak of blood-colored light flying from the direction of Snake King City, piercing through the strange mist and landing on his body, merging into his snake body and becoming a snake scale.

A terrified voice came from the snake scale: "Great Cobra Father, save me—!"

Zhang Ji's eyes blazed with fierce light upon hearing this.

"That's Bi Lian's voice! Who dares to hurt my food, oh no, hurt my good daughter? Don't they know a daughter is her father's little padded jacket!"

Zhang Ji's scarlet vertical pupils flashed with killing intent. He no longer concealed himself, soaring into the air, spreading his wings, and flying high into the vast sky.

In the void.

Hu Lie saw the streak of snake scale light that flashed by earlier. Following the direction of the light, he noticed the tens-of-thousands-meter-long blood-red mountain range from before. As if realizing something, his pupils gradually contracted, his fear slowly amplified, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Holy crap, what is that thing so big? Ah—!"

A cry of alarm came from the sky, but with a flash of a dark shadow, it instantly turned into a scream, the sound abruptly stopping. Then a disdainful cold shout echoed in the sky...

"Dog fart Tiger Clan elder, not even worth as much as one unfilial son!"

Receiving only 7 billion evolution points, Zhang Ji was very disappointed.

Whoosh!

A fishy wind surged for thousands of miles, the huge snake shadow disappeared, and Cao Xinyin in the wilderness watched dumbfounded, wiping cold sweat with his chicken wings.

"Damn, what kind of expert is this? When he came, there was lightning and thunder, and rolling baleful aura. I thought he was an expert who could fight the Cobra for three hundred rounds, but he didn't even last a second, causing my divination to go wrong." Cao Xinyin cursed the trash in a low voice, his eyes thoughtful.

"Based on my many years of experience reading novels..."

"It seems Snake Lord, this destined big villain, isn't going the hot-blooded route, but rather the invincible style, like *One-Punch Man*... Hmm, when divining in the future, I'll do it this way. I've read a lot of novels of this type, I'm familiar with the plot!"

The smile returned to Cao Xinyin's eyes.

He didn't understand any divination techniques, only that he was well-versed in novels, often voted and rewarded, so he was very familiar with the routines of those damn authors, which allowed him to predict the plot and "divine" to show off.

It was outrageous, but the fact proved that he succeeded, entered Snake Lord's eyes, and gained Snake Lord's appreciation.

Looking at the hen next to him, who was so scared that she was shitting and pissing, Cao Xinyin was disgusted. "I wonder if my Piggy Sister is still alive? She's been missing for so many days, sigh, I really miss her!"

He sighed, and strode away on his own.

Zhang Ji swallowed Hu Lie, the Tiger Clan elder who was flaunting his power in the void, in one gulp. The shrill screams echoed throughout the wilderness.

The people working on Snake King City looked at each other, then silently picked up their trowels and continued to build the walls. Others continued to tell lewd jokes, bragging and laughing loudly. They were not surprised at all by the scene in the void, thinking it was only natural.

How many times had it been? Foreign powerhouses descended, and all became food for that fierce Cobra. They were no longer surprised.

"Whoosh~"

The void above their heads had a fishy wind sweeping past, the huge snake shadow vaguely visible in the mist, not fully seen. It flew over the front street of Snake King City, and a huge snake claw reached down from the void, piercing through the mist with a hurricane, grabbing toward a great hall of the Snake King Palace.

"Boom!"

The great hall and the surrounding houses and buildings exploded. The thousands-of-meters-large snake claw brought a large shadow down from the sky. The claw tips were sharp as divine weapons, flashing with a metallic cold light. The claw wrists and claw backs were densely covered with blood-colored snake scales, shocking to the eye.

Earth, stone, giant trees flew, and the magnificent Snake King Palace instantly turned into ruins.

"Swish swish swish!"

Three streaks of light flew out of the ruins, one of which landed on the snake scale. It was the snake woman Bi Lian, terrified, excited, and overjoyed, with a bit of gratitude.

"Father, I love you, thank you for saving your daughter!"

One of Zhang Ji's heads looked at her and smiled, "Good daughter, it's still that saying, Father can give up the country and the beauties, but he will never give up Bi Lian."

"Because you are Father's dear little padded jacket. Whoever dares to hurt you, Father will take his life!"

Zhang Ji's tone was gentle, but his killing intent was like the sky. His majestic voice spread throughout Xichuan Town, shaking the void and rumbling.

Everyone heard it and was shocked and envious.

"Who would have thought that the cruel and cold-blooded Cobra would be so protective and love his daughter so much!"

"Yes, fathers all like daughters. My husband is the same. He used to spend money and give living expenses to his daughter, but he basically gave nothing to his son, and even beat and scolded him. He's so biased."

"The fierce and powerful Cobra dotes on his daughter so much, I'm so jealous, I'm so envious! God, please let me be reborn as the Cobra's daughter in my next life. I also want to be a second-generation snake!"

The people building Snake King City discussed, very envious.

In the void.

The other two streaks of light did not have this treatment. They were relentlessly hunted down by Zhang Ji.

"Where are you running, two unfilial sons? How dare you hurt my precious daughter? Today, I must enforce family law!" Zhang Ji's roar echoed in the void.

He needed an excuse to devour White Wolf Snake Two and Soft Egg. Now was the opportunity. His greedy gaze went straight for the soft egg, ignoring White Wolf Snake Two in the other direction.

Because the soft egg was clearly stronger and had more evolution points.

They were very fast, flying around Xichuan Town, one fleeing, one chasing. Soft Egg was the Heavenly Son Dao Lord, one of the two great mountains of the Daoist sect in the Immortal Realm, known as the Dao Ancestor. Zhang Ji couldn't catch up for a while.

On his back scales, the holy maiden Bi Lian said with eyes full of hatred, "Great Father, speed up, catch up with him, and enforce our old Zhang family's family law on him!"

Zhang Ji chased while asking, "What's the background of this guy?"

The snake woman Bi Lian pondered:

"Although he and the Wan Jie Dao Lord are both the two great mountains of the Daoist sect, he is much more mysterious than the Wan Jie Dao Lord. His true form is not human. Some say he is a Xuan Tortoise, and others say he is a Death Raven. According to my judgment, his true form should be a grass..."

The snake woman Bi Lian's tone was also very uncertain.

"In short, his years of achieving Dao are long. He was already a giant in the Immortal Realm before I ascended to the Immortal Realm. I heard that the Mountain and Sea Realm has his footprints, and the destruction of the Twelve Divine Kingdoms was also related to him. No one knows where he specifically came from."

The snake woman Bi Lian was very wary, telling Zhang Ji to be careful and not to be careless.

Zhang Ji's eyes were solemn, "Father will go all out, kill—!"

His four heads suddenly collided with each other, electric light flowing on his heads, his whole body filled with electric arcs, and his snake scales turned into electric scales, like an ancient Thunder Serpent resurrected.

This was the Thunder Serpent Body Technique activated.

Zhang Ji's speed increased greatly in an instant, his body moving with thunder, cutting through the sky like a bolt of lightning and chasing after him.

At the same time, his snake claw raised back and suddenly pulled out a bone spur from his back, shouting and stabbing it out.

"Boom!"

The thousand miles of void in front annihilated, a blur. The bone spear's sharp aura was fully revealed, and the surrounding misty forest and ancient trees exploded into a sky full of wood chips.
