"The Heavenly Serpent Staff, the token of the Serpent Demon Clan leader, a treasure that has been passed down for a thousand years, truly is the genuine article of the Serpent Clan Leader!" The Dragon Head chuckled lightly upon seeing her summon this item, showing no signs of panic.
The Serpent Clan Leader smiled, "You have good insight, Dragon Head. I wonder what weapon you will use?"
The Dragon Head shook his head, "I have never used a weapon. Please proceed!"
A glint of coldness flashed across the Serpent Clan Leader's face as she coldly replied, "Very well, please enlighten me, Dragon Head!"
With that, the Heavenly Serpent Staff was suddenly swung fiercely. A surge of green poisonous energy erupted from the mouth of the serpent at the staff's head, spreading out like a vast cloud and enveloping the entire area outside the city gate!
Such a display seemed far beyond what a mere Serpent Staff could unleash.
This green serpent poison continued to expand, some of it already touching the city wall. The massive stone wall suddenly emitted hissing sounds as it was being eroded by the serpent poison, slowly wearing away.
"Impressive!"
The onlookers were taken aback; the fact that such a far-reaching poison could corrode the city wall made them wonder about the condition of the Dragon Head in the midst of this toxic mist.
Unexpectedly, the Dragon Head let out a roar, and a shockwave burst forth from him like an enormous balloon suddenly exploding. The wave rolled outwards with a thunderous sound, pushing back the surrounding poison mist by three yards!
Immediately, the standoff between the two reappeared before everyone's eyes.
Wang Long let out a sigh of relief.
"The Verdant Poison Mist! With the power of the Heavenly Serpent Staff, its range has increased by seven or eight times. However... it still lacks a bit to deal with me!" The Dragon Head said casually.
The Serpent Clan Leader's expression turned cold, and a hint of killing intent flashed in her almond-shaped eyes. She thrust the Heavenly Serpent Staff into the ground, and suddenly, the earth began to rumble as if something was rolling beneath it, with continuous booming sounds echoing.
Even those on top of the city tower felt a slight tremor, as if some foreign object was about to break through from underground!
“Vast Ravine Poison Vines!”
Suddenly, the entire ground began to shatter, and countless green, brittle, spiky vines, as thick as a child's arm, surged violently from the earth, clawing and writhing like a multitude of hibernating snakes awakening all at once, rushing towards the Dragon Head.
Amidst the onslaught of the numerous poisonous vines, the Dragon Head showed no signs of panic. With a slight exertion of his legs, he leaped up and waved his hand, a glimmer of golden light flashing as a sharp blade was gripped firmly in his palm.
He swung and swung and swung.
Everyone watched as streaks of golden light shot through the air like falling stars igniting in flames, then like a furious storm, swiftly cutting through the air. The poisonous vines were severed by the countless beams of golden light, emitting strange and mournful cries as they crashed to the ground.
Endless poisonous vines swarmed like a mass of snakes, continuously emerging. However, the Dragon Head appeared remarkably relaxed, as if playing a game, darting among the vines while harvesting one poisonous vine after another.
“Golden Snake Dance…” The Dragon Head chuckled lightly as the seven or eight-foot-long golden sword in his hand suddenly softened and transformed into a dazzling golden whip, which he wielded with force.
With a crack, the brilliant golden whip seemed to stretch dozens of yards long, wrapping around the Dragon Head multiple times as it wildly whipped and sliced through the surrounding vines, turning them into scattered branches and leaves.
“Ha!”
The Dragon Head suddenly shouted loudly, and the long whip instantly transformed into a straight staff that swept away the surrounding vines before shooting straight towards the Serpent Clan Leader!
The Serpent Clan Leader stood resolute and unafraid. With a fierce swing of his Heavenly Serpent Staff, he thrust it forward to meet the Dragon Head's beam of golden light in a powerful clash.
Bang.
With a crisp sound, the golden light controlled by the Dragon Head scattered like countless golden needles but still managed to pin down the remaining writhing vines to the ground.
The Serpent Clan Leader was jolted by this immense force and swayed slightly but gritted his teeth and held his ground without retreating.
"Impressive... Could it be that he has truly broken through the Nine Dragon Veins and reached the legendary Dragon Bone Realm? Hmph, if that's the case, I must kill him right now. After two fierce battles, he is at his most vulnerable. If I don't eliminate this threat now, it will be even harder to act later!"
"The clan leader's technique seems to be primarily based on Wood Element, while I am of Metal Element. It can be said that I have a natural advantage over you; I apologize for that," the Dragon Head said with a slight smile, seemingly trying to provoke his opponent.
However, the Serpent Clan Leader showed no change in expression and calmly replied, "The Contemporary Dragon Head hasn't made a move in many years, and few know his true attributes. Forcing you to reveal your best skills is already quite an achievement."
Wang Long sighed lightly, realizing that his father was most skilled in the Golden Dragon Technique. Although he was the son of the Dragon Head, he had never seen his father in action.
The Golden Dragon Technique was indeed rare; he had never seen anyone else use it before.
The Dragon Head chuckled, "Is this really your best skill? You underestimate me too much..."
The Serpent Clan Leader bit her lip and sneered, "Don't get too cocky, Dragon Head. I want to see how you deal with my move, Secret Snake Technique: Great Serpent Rebirth!"
Suddenly, she raised the Heavenly Serpent Staff towards the sky, chanting incantations as if summoning some deity. Suddenly, she slammed it down onto the ground, and her eyes widened as the already shattered earth began to tremble once more.
This time it was even more intense than before; the entire Dragon City seemed to experience an earthquake, shaking violently. Many soldiers on the City Wall began to sway and struggled to maintain their footing.
"What kind of fierce beast is about to emerge?!" an elder beside Wang Long exclaimed in shock, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
As soon as he finished speaking, a large crack suddenly opened up in the ground, measuring nearly ten feet across. A deafening roar echoed from beneath.
In the next moment, a giant python measuring ten feet in length burst forth from underground. As it emerged, its Heavenly Shield blocked out the sun as it coiled mid-air; its head was already as tall as the entire City Wall!
The soldiers guarding the City Wall were paralyzed with fear, trembling as they held their silver spears and slowly retreated.
Wang Long, however, showed no fear and fixed his gaze firmly on the serpent's head.
The Dragon Leader frowned and coldly said, "The Millennium Ancestral Python... have you even brought your fierce beast here? I wonder how many have come?"
The Serpent Clan Leader sneered, "Just this one alone, and I fear you won't be able to handle it!"
With a wave of her Heavenly Serpent Staff and a sharp command, the Millennium Ancestral Python seemed to resonate with her will. It let out a fierce roar and lunged at the people on the City Wall!
Several elders on the City Wall reacted simultaneously, unleashing a surge of Dragon Qi that struck the Ancient Python's head. However, it only slightly slowed down; it remained determined to sink its teeth into the wall.
With a thunderous crash, half of the City Wall collapsed. Several soldiers who couldn't evade in time screamed as they were struck by the force and fell from the high City Wall.
The Dragon Leader snorted coldly and suddenly leaped into the air. With a single step, he ascended into the void. Wang Long felt a stir in his heart; this was their Wang family's ancestral secret technique, You Long Step. In Wang Long's hands, it was merely a peculiar footwork used for escaping; yet in the Dragon Leader's hands, it seemed like a ladder to heaven, allowing him to ascend with just one step!
He took seven steps in succession, rising higher and higher. With a wave of his hand, a Dragon Shadow burst forth, and a Dragon Claw emerged behind him, seemingly substantial. It caught several falling descendants of Longcheng and gently placed them back onto the City Wall.
Those who had fallen were still in a daze, unaware of where they were.
Seeing someone opposing it, the Ancient Python roared angrily. It suddenly lowered its body and violently shook its head before crashing down towards the Dragon Leader!
