Chapter 233: Battle of Man and Serpent
Long Ao knew he had to leave at once. With his current strength, he was no match for the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python.
Without the slightest hesitation, Long Ao turned and fled into the distance.
The Ice and Fire Double-headed Python was incredibly fast. Before Long Ao could get away, its massive body shot forward, blotting out the sun.
The Ice and Fire Double-headed Python's cold eyes held a trace of disdain. Its huge heads flicked their tongues in and out, spewing streams of venom.
Seeing that the giant python had already caught up, Long Ao knew there was no escaping safely at his current speed. 'A fight is inevitable, so why waste time running?'
Cursing viciously in his heart, the moment Long Ao turned, his entire body shot toward the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python like a cheetah.
His Fist Force arrived before he did.
But the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python clearly didn't take Long Ao seriously. It let his fists smash against its body as if they were just scratching an itch.
'What terrifying Defense Power.'
If even his Fist Force couldn't penetrate its hide, one could only imagine how terrifying the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python's Defense Power truly was.
Without any hesitation, Long Ao continued to strike with his Divine Dragon Arm. Even so, he still couldn't break through its Defense Power, but it wasn't as effortless for the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python as it had been moments ago.
The Ice and Fire Double-headed Python's two heads represented two completely different powers: the Power of Cold Ice and the Flame Power. When these two powers collided, the destructive force was immense.
From beginning to end, the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python had never taken Long Ao seriously.
In the eyes of the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python, Long Ao was just an ant that it could crush at any moment.
Its giant tail smashed down with terrifying momentum. If Long Ao were to be hit by that tail, nine lives wouldn't be enough. Even if he wasn't flattened into meat paste, he would be severely crippled. Such was the might of the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python.
Watching the tail smash down, Long Ao didn't dare to clash head-on with the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python. His speeding body dodged in a flash, and seizing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he wrapped both his arms directly around the massive tail.
"AHH!"
With a great roar, Long Ao channeled all the strength in his body and activated his Divine Dragon Arm. He frantically poured power into his arms and, just like that, swung the entire giant python into the air.
ROAR…! Gripped tightly, the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python let out a furious roar that seemed to make Heaven and Earth tremble. Driven to a frenzy, its two heads attacked, one spewing Flame and the other ice. A vicious torrent of fire and ice shot toward Long Ao.
Long Ao was very clever. He didn't clash head-on with the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python. Instead, he used its own tail as a shield, letting the Ice and Fire Power strike it.
It was attacking itself.
The Ice and Fire Double-headed Python grew utterly enraged, but it was powerless to do anything else. It could only thrash its tail furiously, hoping to fling the human off.
But Long Ao held fast to the tail. His eyes turned cold as he gathered all his strength, including the power of the Divine Dragon Arm, into his hands. And just like that, holding the giant python's tail, he began to spin.
If anyone had been there to see it, they would have found the situation comical.
Long Ao's small body began to swing the giant python's entire massive form around. One circle, two circles, three circles…
After who knows how many spins, Long Ao felt every last bit of his strength drain away. He finally lost his grip, but at the very last second, he still managed to hurl the giant python away with all his might.
THUD. The giant python became intimately acquainted with the ground.
Perhaps dizzy from the spinning, the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python couldn't react for a moment. It lay on the ground, gasping heavily.
With a cold sneer, Long Ao took a moment to recover before immediately getting to his feet and shooting toward the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python. This time, he didn't use his fists, but the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber.
Before Long Ao could get close, the dizzy Ice and Fire Double-headed Python suddenly lunged forward viciously. This time, the python had learned its lesson. It didn't use its tail, but slammed its heads directly at Long Ao.
One look at its two heads was enough to know the force behind them. Because of this, Long Ao didn't dare to clash head-on with the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python, choosing instead to constantly weave and dodge.
Long Ao wouldn't just sit back and wait for death, nor would he keep dodging forever. He chose to continue attacking, and with his most ferocious assaults.
The Blood-Drinking Mad Saber in his hand unleashed the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques one after another. Blade Auras surged forward, strike after strike.
But the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python seemed to ignore the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber in Long Ao's hand, continuing to ram him with its two heads. It had to be said, the python was truly shameless; as its heads slammed forward, it would suddenly unleash a blast of Ice and Fire Power.
Unable to dodge in time, Long Ao was struck hard by the Ice and Fire Power. Spitting a mouthful of blood, his entire body was sent flying backward.
Forcing his body, which felt like it was about to fall apart, to move, Long Ao struggled back to his feet. He glared coldly at the charging Ice and Fire Double-headed Python.
Wielding his Blood-Drinking Mad Saber, Long Ao once again clashed with the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python. He still avoided a direct confrontation. No matter what, the python was simply too large. It was fast, but the confined space limited its mobility.
Seeing that its opponent wouldn't face it head-on, the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python roared incessantly, frustrated and powerless.
Its Ice and Fire Power was too formidable, and it had hit itself with it several times. Because of this, the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python didn't dare use its Ice and Fire Power recklessly without absolute certainty. This, in turn, gave Long Ao an opportunity.
Long Ao could now use five of the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques. The first four were Netherworld Nine-Link Strike, Ice-Sealed Heart Devourer, Sea of Blazing Flames, and World-Ending Blade Aura.
His Cultivation had successfully broken through to the Basic Level Earth Emperor realm, and he had also mastered the Blood-Drinking Fifth Technique, but Long Ao had not yet had a chance to use it.
In other words, this would be the first time Long Ao was using the Blood-Drinking Fifth Technique: Ten Thousand Bones Soul Devourer.
With himself as the epicenter, Long Ao began to spin like a tornado. Resentful energy from all around continuously converged on him, being drawn into the vortex.
The Ice and Fire Double-headed Python seemed surprised, but it was still full of confidence. With clear contempt, its massive body lunged viciously at Long Ao once more.
The Ice and Fire Double-headed Python's two heads simultaneously unleashed their Ice and Fire Power, which collided in mid-air to create an even more formidable blast. But Long Ao was a step ahead. As he unleashed Ten Thousand Bones Soul Devourer, he shot forward, using the explosive power from his legs to launch himself directly onto the python's body.
"ROAR."
Seeing the human had actually gotten on its body, the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python became utterly enraged. It roared continuously, thrashing its massive body, trying to viciously throw him off.
But Long Ao was like a magnet, standing firmly on the giant python's body. No matter how the python thrashed its massive frame, Long Ao held to a single principle: thrash all you want, I'm not moving.
