The dragon's body rose once more, and from behind it emerged a Dragon Claw, stretching in the wind, nearly three feet in diameter, resembling a large fan. It suddenly struck upward, forcefully blocking the Ancient Python's head from its attack!
The Serpent Clan Leader squinted her eyes and coldly snorted, "True Dragon Soul... have you resorted to your trump card? Let's see how long you can hold out!"
The dragon stood firmly atop the city wall, positioned horizontally in mid-air, while two enormous Dragon Claws extended from its back, directly slamming down onto the giant python's body suspended in the air.
Two massive Dragon Qi-formed Dragon Claws fiercely clamped down on the giant python's body in the center, delivering a powerful strike. A horrific shriek echoed as the Ancient Python violently thrashed its body, seemingly gravely injured.
The Serpent Clan Leader furrowed her brow, raising her Heavenly Serpent Staff. The Ancient Python immediately retreated at high speed, spiraling downwards a few times, leaving only its head wandering outside, seemingly searching for prey.
The dragon approached as well; with a wave of its right arm's sleeve, a Dragon Shadow appeared beneath it, lifting its body into the air, exuding an imposing and fierce aura.
In that moment, cheers erupted from atop the City Wall. The soldiers who had previously lacked confidence in this battle now felt their hearts racing with excitement upon witnessing the dragon's might.
With such a dragon leading them, how could they possibly lose? How could they not defend their city?!
The Serpent Clan Leader was unwilling to back down. With a swing of her Heavenly Serpent Staff, she also soared into the air. The Millennium Ancestral Python immediately coiled around her, supporting her atop its head.
The two stood on their respective dragon and serpent in mid-air, facing each other off.
"Indeed, you are worthy of being called the dragon leader; such profound cultivation and impressive techniques!" the Serpent Clan Leader praised lightly with a smile.
The dragon leader chuckled in response, "You flatter me."
"However..." The Serpent Clan Leader lowered her head and said softly, "Since you have already broken through to the Nine Dragon Veins and are a master of the Dragon Bone Realm, why have you not used any techniques from the Dragon Bone Realm? If you truly unleashed them, how could this Millennium Ancestral Python withstand your strike?"
The dragon leader's expression changed as she coldly glared at the Serpent Clan Leader.
"Unless..." she revealed a sinister smile and continued, "are you perhaps injured severely enough that you cannot use your Dragon Bone Realm techniques?"
"If you remain silent, I will take that as an acknowledgment. Then I shall see how you deal with my next move!" With that, this cunning and alluring woman suddenly raised her Heavenly Serpent Staff again, causing another thunderous roar to resonate throughout the heavens and earth.
"You... how many Ancient Pythons have you brought from the serpent demon stronghold? Are you not afraid that others will take advantage of this chaos to attack your base?" The dragon leader's expression shifted as she coldly questioned.
The Serpent Clan Leader smiled and said, "Did I not mention? For me, the most important thing is to destroy Dragon City. As for everything else... what does it matter?"
Amidst the terrified gazes of the crowd in Dragon City, the ground cracked once more, echoing with the thunderous sounds reminiscent of a volcanic eruption. Suddenly, a gigantic python shot up into the sky, shrieking violently as it emerged from underground!
This Millennium Ancestral Python was even larger, its entire body black. Upon emerging, it flew directly towards the Dragon Head, unleashing an extremely sharp water arrow from its mouth.
The Dragon Head stood with hands behind his back, not even moving, but the True Dragon Soul beneath him suddenly opened its eyes wide in anger and shot out a water arrow towards the black Ancient Python.
With a hissing sound, the two water arrows collided in mid-air, instantly shattering each other and scattering in all directions as they fell to the ground. The water arrow emitted by the black Ancient Python contained potent poison that corroded the stones upon impact, causing onlookers to gasp in fear.
"Two Ancient Pythons, attack with all your might!" commanded the Serpent Clan Leader. The two Ancient Pythons seemed to respond telepathically, their eyes shining brightly as they lunged forward to attack the Dragon Head.
The man and dragon found themselves in a situation of being besieged. The Dragon Head remained unafraid, revealing a golden spear over ten feet long in his hand and thrusting it directly at the earlier Azure Giant Python.
The Serpent Clan Leader swung his Heavenly Serpent Staff, causing vines to shoot out fiercely like snakes, wrapping around the golden spear and momentarily halting its momentum.
The Dragon Head snorted coldly; with a shake of his arm, he shattered all the vines and hurled the spear towards the Serpent Clan Leader above the Azure Python's head.
The latter's Heavenly Serpent Staff traced an arc in front of him, suddenly summoning a towering ancient tree that appeared as if it were forged from iron, dark and gleaming, blocking the golden spear outside.
At that moment, another black Ancient Python had already ensnared both the Dragon Head and the True Dragon Soul in between itself and was tightening its body to strangle the Dragon Head completely.
The Dragon Head roared angrily; suddenly, a burst of golden light erupted from his body, resembling a deity descended upon earth, radiating brilliance unmatched.
"Secret Technique: Dragon Arts: Eighty-Foot Golden Body!"
In an instant, his form surged dramatically, transforming into a giant nearly two meters tall, his entire body shining with golden light like a legendary dragon's manifestation—solemn and awe-inspiring.
"The Dragon Head's Eighty-Foot Golden Body! It has been over ten years since I last saw this... This is already the highest Divine Ability just below the Dragon Bone Realm. Heh heh, I never expected to witness it again in my lifetime," remarked an elder beside Wang Long.
The moment the Eighty-Foot Golden Body appeared, it immediately overshadowed the True Dragon Soul beneath it. The True Dragon Soul flew out and engaged in battle with the Ancient Python, which was entirely black as ink, while the Dragon Head conjured two long swords in his hands, also shining with golden light, to confront the Serpent Clan Leader.
The Serpent Clan Leader's heart trembled, momentarily awed by the endless Divine Techniques of the Dragon Head. Although she was confident after hearing from her contacts within Dragon City that the Dragon Head could not use Martial Arts from the Dragon Bone Realm at that moment, just the presence of the Eighty-Foot Golden Body made her feel shaken and hesitant.
"The Dragon City, with its thousands of years of heritage, truly lives up to its former glory! The Contemporary Dragon Head is indeed profound and unfathomable; I had previously underestimated him..."
However, there was no use in retreating now. The Serpent Clan Leader immediately swung her Heavenly Serpent Staff, causing the entire Serpent Staff to seem to explode. Countless seeds burst forth from the serpent head perched atop the staff, scattering across the ground.
These hundreds of seeds took root upon landing, rapidly merging into the earth below and surging wildly, making the ground undulate like waves in a bizarre spectacle.
"Rebirth!"
Suddenly, countless Towering Trees descended from the sky and sprang from the ground, madly filling the world. They continued to grow and dance wildly as if they possessed a life of their own, slowly advancing towards the Dragon Head under the command of the Serpent Clan Leader.
"Hmm? This is utilizing the Heavenly Serpent Staff to greatly enhance her own power by infusing life and her will into these seeds, turning them into part of herself to manipulate this vast forest! Is this Serpent Clan Leader really prepared to fight to the death? Such techniques can burn one's own life force..."
The Dragon Head sneered. The Eighty-Foot Golden Body resembled a deity as he wielded two brilliantly shining long swords. With a sudden swing, he severed several approaching vines in an instant and stepped forward, slowly closing in on the Serpent Clan Leader.
