Wang Long had an indescribable intuition, a deep-seated unease stirred within him by the words spoken by the Dragon Head earlier that day.
Thus, as night fell, he sought out Jiang Xue, and the two of them headed towards the back mountain of Dragon City.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the entrance of the Back Mountain Dragon Tomb, they found the guards covered in blood, all lying on the ground, having perished in their duty.
Wang Long's heart raced, and he couldn't help but pray silently.
"Please, don't let anything happen... Dragon Head... Father!"
Jiang Xue understood his feelings and walked over to gently hold his hand. Together, they entered through the mountain gate and ran towards the Dragon Mound Center.
Strangely enough, while there were usually erratic Dragon Souls everywhere, it seemed as if they had all vanished that night. As they proceeded, not a single Dragon Soul was seen.
Wang Long had no time to ponder the reason behind this; since there was no one to obstruct them, it was naturally a good thing.
As they rushed towards the Dragon Mound Center, they gradually sensed that amidst the increasingly intense Dragon Qi, faint sounds of battle seemed to echo in the air.
Wang Long felt even more anxious and hurried his pace.
As they drew closer to the Dragon Mound Center, the sounds of combat grew thunderous, causing Wang Long to feel a chill run down his spine with just a few snippets he heard.
"What kind of battle could be so fierce?!"
Suddenly, a brilliant golden light pierced through the thick, mist-like Dragon Qi and shone brightly.
It was unmistakably familiar; it was the ultimate technique that the Dragon Head had once displayed on the battlefield—Eighty-Foot Golden Body.
"Dragon Head..."
"Don't..." Jiang Xue gently pulled Wang Long and whispered, "If you go now, it won't help at all. In battles of this level, we might find it difficult to intervene. Let's... just observe for now and see how things unfold."
Although Wang Long felt anxious, he understood that Jiang Xue was speaking the truth. He could only conceal their presence as the two hid behind a large stone at Dragon Mound.
The battle in the arena had already escalated to its peak.
The surrounding Dragon Qi was disturbed by the fight, constantly churning and even completely severed, making the Dragon Qi within a ten-zhang radius quite thin.
The Serpent Clan Leader's Rebirth Technique was indeed extraordinary, but it could not harm the dragon's body, so he mostly chose to defend; leaving the attacking part to Li Mo Yuan.
Wang Long saw Li Mo Yuan, who resembled a bizarre flying bird, with wings made of gold and iron clanging behind him. In his hands, sword light flickered as he continuously sliced through the protective golden light surrounding the dragon's head.
However, whenever he transformed his Stellar Wings into a long sword or a spear to deliver a fatal blow, an inexplicable force emanated from the weapon itself, inexplicably diminishing some of his offensive power. This left Li Mo Yuan frustrated and confused.
The dragon's head said, "You two... are truly ridiculous. Knowing that I practice the Golden Dragon Technique, one of you excels in Wood Element while the other relies on weapons made of gold and iron. Aren't you both countered by me?! Just based on this point alone, your reckless attempt to surround me is a significant mistake!"
Li Mo Yuan finally understood that his Thousand Illusion Star Wings were also made of gold and iron. When he got too close to the dragon's head, he would be affected by its Golden Dragon Technique, which severely reduced his attack effectiveness.
He was both angry and vexed; however, this was already his trump card with no retreat possible. He could only grit his teeth and charge forward.
"Don't get too smug!"
Li Mo Yuan sneered coldly. Suddenly, flames erupted from his Thousand Illusion Star Wings, engulfing them in fierce fire and even causing the Divine Weapon to glow red.
"Oh? You actually used Eight Fiendish Dragon Flames on your Thousand Illusion Star Wings? While this may cause me some damage, it will likely destroy your Thousand Illusion Star Wings as well. For the sake of killing me, you really are disregarding everything!"
The dragon's head shook its head with a helpless smile.
"Hmph! As long as I can kill you, what does a mere piece of equipment matter?!"
Thousand Illusion Star Wings instantly transformed into a long sword, engulfed in flames, fiercely burning as it slashed down towards the dragon's head. The Golden Light Sword in the dragon's hand met it mid-air, resulting in an explosion of endless fiery sparks.
He retracted the Golden Light Sword, only to see that it appeared to have been burned through, leaving a gap. He couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed impressive! However..."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless brilliant golden lights suddenly emerged from the Eighty-Foot Golden Body of the dragon's head, as if infinite golden threads were weaving something. Gradually, these threads took shape, revealing thousands of strange characters.
"This is... Ancient Dragon Script?!"
Li Mo Yuan and Serpent Clan Leader, being well-informed individuals, recognized it immediately. Wang Long and Jiang Xue, who had also encountered this Dragon Script in the Serpent Clan Forbidden Area, felt a stir in their hearts upon seeing it.
Once these hundreds of Ancient Dragon Script symbols appeared, a grand and overwhelming power surged forth, as if descending from the Nine Heavens onto the dragon's head, radiating a torrent of might from its body.
The entire Golden Body was fully restored, even emitting a more dazzling brilliance. The Golden Light Sword, previously scorched by the Eight Fiendish Dragon Flames, instantly returned to its original state, shining even brighter like a meteor falling from the sky.
"It is said that among the Thirteen Volumes of Dragon Script Heavenly Book, six volumes have fallen into human hands. I wonder how many volumes are in your Dragon City..." Serpent Clan Leader murmured.
The dragon's head declared loudly, "Enough to take your lives!"
After saying this, two beams of radiant light in the form of long swords slashed down from its hands, grand and overwhelming, like divine artifacts splitting open the heavens, crashing down with thunderous force!
With no other choice, the two could only muster all their strength to block it. The Vast Ravine Ivy shot straight up to the sky, advancing rather than retreating, attempting to slightly hinder the downward momentum of the long swords; meanwhile, the Thousand Illusion Star Wings instantly transformed into an overlapping and intricately patterned shield that protected them at its center.
However, as the long swords descended with tremendous force, they instantly shattered the towering barrier of ancient wood and struck hard against the giant shield formed by the Thousand Illusion Star Wings!
Bang!
A deafening roar echoed as metal clashed and flames erupted violently, scattering everywhere. The Thousand Illusion Star Wings was struck with such force that a massive crack, deep enough for a hand to fit through, appeared on its surface.
At that moment, Li Mo Yuan, who controlled the Thousand Illusion Star Wings, immediately sensed an overwhelming force crashing down upon him. Unable to suppress it, he felt his blood surge and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I didn't expect this person to have such strength after fighting continuously! Even if the two of us join forces, we have no chance of winning. It seems that today's mission cannot succeed; it's better to retreat!"
The Serpent Clan Leader made a quick decision and was about to escape.
The Dragon Head shouted angrily, "Want to leave?! There's no way it will be that easy!"
With that, he turned with the wind, spinning his twin swords once more, and struck down fiercely, aiming to kill the two of them in one blow!
Seeing the change in the situation, this strike had already exhausted all of the Dragon Head's remaining strength. The golden light was dazzling and unmatched, the sword's aura swept across like a raging torrent, shaking the entire Dragon Mound!
This was an unavoidable and unpreventable move!
The Serpent Clan Leader turned pale, his face ashen. At this moment, he suddenly regretted wasting his life on such acts of venting anger. Not only had he squandered his lifetime, but he had also implicated the entire Serpent Clan...
Li Mo Yuan was also filled with fear, but unlike the Serpent Clan Leader, he shouted loudly, "If we don't act now, when will we?!"
Suddenly, Wang Long's vision blurred as a Black Radiance flashed before him; a figure had already intercepted the Dragon Head's strike.
