Chapter 303: Chapter 180: The Pei Family Are Such Good People

Yuri remained perfectly calm in the face of the approaching poisoned dagger. A halo of light flashed around him, and a transparent protective barrier materialized, firmly blocking the attack.

"You’re just a bunch of exiled Dark Elves. Having lost Rose’s favor, you don’t even have a Priest. What makes you think you can beat us? You truly overestimate yourselves!"

As Yuri’s mocking words fell, a dense layer of black scales rapidly appeared on his skin. His face elongated, and his pupils narrowed into vertical slits.

In the blink of an eye, Yuri had transformed into a Snake-man-like creature covered in fine black scales, a thick, long serpent’s tail sprouting from his back.

WHOOSH!

The serpent tail whipped out violently, tearing through the air and viciously striking a Spider Elf!

The elf had no time to dodge. It took the full force of the blow and was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string, spewing a mouthful of blood in midair.

At the same time, the other two cloaked figures also transformed into Black-Scaled Serpent-men. They casually tore off their cloaks and charged toward the other Spider Elves with cold, murderous intent.

The three cloaked figures had been evenly matched with the Spider Elves, but once they transformed into Snake-men, their power surged, and the tide of battle turned instantly.

The Spider Elves were suddenly overwhelmed, finding themselves hard-pressed and in a sorry state.

In just a few short clashes, four or five Spider Elves were killed.

’The Yugro Giant Serpent bloodline!’

Pei Ze, watching from a distance, felt his gaze harden.

Having fought a Wizard from the Pei Family and refined a Yugro Giant Serpent Bloodline Mark before, he recognized at first glance that the three cloaked figures were using the Yugro Giant Serpent’s bloodline form.

Moreover, they were even stronger than Pei Zhanqing, whose body had merely been enhanced. With every move, they faintly channeled a trace of the Power of Shadow.

’I can’t believe I’ve run into members of the Pei Family so soon after entering the Shadow Realm.’

A wry, unreadable smile touched Pei Ze’s lips.

He wasn’t sure if he should call himself lucky or the members of the Pei Family incredibly unlucky.

The Dawn Council had long since issued a wanted notice: anyone who killed a remnant of the Pei Family, whether they were a Wizard from Chenxi City or not, would be rewarded with contribution points.

A single Official Wizard from the Pei Family was worth at least 1,000 contribution points.

The higher the Wizard’s level, the richer the reward.

The moment the wanted notice was issued, it attracted numerous Wizards to the Shadow Realm to search for the Pei Family’s whereabouts.

However, several months had passed with no news of anyone finding the Pei Family’s Wizards.

It was as if they had vanished into thin air.

Before coming to the Shadow Realm, Pei Ze had also considered searching for the Pei Family. But after some thought, he gave up on the idea. The Shadow Realm was vast and sparsely populated, filled with shadowy mists. If the Pei Family was determined to hide, it would be extremely difficult for him to find them alone.

But to think he’d encounter Pei Family Wizards just a few days after entering the Shadow Realm—what a coincidence.

Su Ya now noticed something was amiss as well. She whispered, "My lord, those three seem to be..."

Pei Ze nodded slightly. "Members of the Pei Family, that’s right."

Su Ya’s eyes immediately lit up.

A look of delight also appeared on Peng Yan’s face.

Both of them knew about the Dawn Council’s wanted notice for the Pei Family.

While they were talking, the battle had already been decided.

As expected, the Spider Elves were no match for the three Pei Family Wizards in their Yugro Giant Serpent bloodline forms. More than half of them were quickly killed.

The few remaining Spider Elves saw that the situation was hopeless and tried to flee, but before they could reach the shadowy mists, Yuri ruthlessly struck them down.

In a flash, the twenty-odd Spider Elves were completely wiped out.

After finishing off the last Spider Elf, Yuri’s gaze shifted to Pei Ze’s group of three, a flicker of ridicule in his eyes.

"So engrossed in the show. This is the first time I’ve seen anyone so unafraid of death."

If Pei Ze’s group had taken the opportunity to leave while they were fighting the Spider Elves, they honestly wouldn’t have been able to catch up.

But since these three had foolishly stayed put, they couldn’t be blamed for what was coming next.

’Right now, many Wizards are in the Shadow Realm searching for the Pei Family. The matter of the Yugro Giant Serpent bloodline must be kept secret. If word gets out, this area will be swarming with Wizards in no time, which will inevitably cause immense trouble for the family.’

’Therefore, these three must die!’

Yuri wasn’t too worried about whether he could kill them.

’The two Legendary Knights beside him are nothing to worry about. As for the Wizard in the silver mask, he couldn’t even scrounge up a few thousand Magic Stone Coins. His strength can’t be that impressive. He’s a Second-level Wizard at best.’

’Three against one—the odds couldn’t be better!’

Facing the murderous glares of Yuri and his companions, Pei Ze just smiled faintly. With a slight mental command, the silver mask on his face melted away like a snowflake in the heat, revealing the face beneath.

Staring at that young face, the expressions of Yuri and his two companions slowly shifted from confusion to suspicion, then to shock, and finally, to utter terror.

"Pei Ze!" Yuri cried out, his voice filled with horror.

It could be said that there was hardly anyone in the entire Pei Family who didn’t recognize Pei Ze.

A bloodless exile cast out from the Pei Family had ended up becoming Chenxi City’s youngest Second-level Wizard in nearly a century—a recognized genius most likely to become an Elemental Mage in the future. This had turned the Pei Family into a laughingstock in the eyes of many.

The more famous Pei Ze became, the more criticism the Pei Family endured.

A genius Wizard who had brought utter disgrace upon the entire Pei Family—it would be difficult for them not to recognize him.

And so, even though they had never seen Pei Ze in person and had only viewed some visual records, Yuri and his two companions quickly identified the man before them. A heart-stopping fear instantly gripped them.
