War God Long Ao

Under normal circumstances, a person's strength alone would be completely insufficient to bite through.

The Defense Power of the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python's flesh was simply too immense; Long Ao could have bitten until his mouth was mangled and still not broken through.

But the situation now was completely different. Long Ao had already smashed dozens of bloody gashes into the giant python, and blood was still gushing from them. He didn't need to break through its flesh again; he just had to bite down into an existing wound.

GULP, GULP, GULP...

Instinctively, Long Ao began to suck the blood from within the giant python, regardless of whether doing so was good or bad.

The thrashing Ice and Fire Double-headed Python finally slowed to a stop due to massive blood loss. Its two giant heads crashed to the ground with a heavy THUD.

The giant python's blood was already flowing rapidly. With Long Ao now drinking it with wild abandon, it was like adding fuel to the fire.

The Ice and Fire Double-headed Python's eyes were filled with indignation, but things had already come to this. It couldn't even self-destruct if it wanted to. Finally, the giant python's eyes slowly closed.

NNGH, NNGH.

Now that the Ice and Fire Double-headed Python was dead, Long Ao tried to stop drinking its blood. But to his shock, he discovered that no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't pull himself out of the bloody hole.

'What's happening?'

Just as Long Ao was wondering what to do, Long Fu's figure suddenly appeared.

"Long Fu, what am I supposed to do?"

"Master, you're quite lucky."

'I'm lucky?' Long Ao felt his spirits sink at Long Fu's words. But Long Fu continued, "Master, this giant python's indignation before death caused it to mutate."

'Mutate?'

"Master, just keep absorbing. Once you've finished drinking all the giant python's blood, I will help you gradually refine it to enhance your bloodline."

From Long Fu's explanation, Long Ao got the gist of it. As long as he kept absorbing the blood, his own bloodline would grow stronger. Once it reached its peak, his bloodline could even rival that of a Giant Dragon.

Since that was the case, Long Ao didn't hesitate for a second and immediately resumed absorbing the blood.

After a full hour of absorption, he had only managed to drink a third of the snake's blood. Long Ao simply couldn't continue and finally gave up.

BURP. Long Ao let out a belch and said helplessly, "Long Fu, I really can't absorb any more."

Long Fu nodded. Immediately, Long Qiang and Long Ming appeared. The two little guys showed no restraint, pouncing directly onto the wounds and beginning to frantically devour the blood.

「Two hours later.」

"Master, you and the two little ones must try your best not to draw upon the power of this blood. Later, I will use the power of the Blood Pool to help you perform its Refinement. Remember, do not use it under any circumstances. Otherwise, the blood will backlash, and the consequences will be unthinkable."

Seeing Long Fu's grave expression, Long Ao nodded. He wasn't foolish enough to use the blood when he knew it would cause trouble.

Long Fu took the two little ones back into the Dragon Seal Space. Just as Long Ao was about to press on, he froze in place. He had discovered that dozens of Ice and Fire Double-headed Pythons had suddenly appeared, surrounding him.

From the north, south, east, and west, pairs of cold eyes were locked onto him. Upon seeing the massive corpse on the ground, the dozens of Ice and Fire Double-headed Pythons suddenly stirred.

"Fuck."

Cursing viciously, Long Ao knew he couldn't stay. He might have killed one Ice and Fire Double-headed Python, but if dozens of them attacked at once... forget him, even a Peak Earth Emperor might not be able to withstand the assault. Not running meant death.

Long Ao had no intention of dying here for nothing, but the problem was that he was completely boxed in by the Ice and Fire Double-headed Pythons. No matter which direction he chose, he would be attacked.

'What am I going to do?'

It was a life-or-death moment. The slightest hesitation would mean being jointly attacked by dozens of giant pythons, and his only fate would be death.

Just as Long Ao was preparing to break through the encirclement, a Dragon's Roar and a tiger's howl erupted at the same time. Long Qiang and Long Ming, who had just returned to the Dragon Seal Space, suddenly reappeared. The dragon and the tiger stood on Long Ao's left and right sides, their Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl echoing throughout Heaven and Earth.

One man, one dragon, one tiger.

Long Ao was surprised, too. But with his two little companions helping him, his chances of breaking out were now much greater.

The moment the Dragon's Roar rang out, the dozens of charging Ice and Fire Double-headed Pythons all skidded to a halt, staring in terror at the black Giant Dragon hovering in the air.

The Ice and Fire Double-headed Python was an offshoot of the Dragon Race. Strength aside, Long Qiang's imposing Momentum alone was enough to completely suppress the dozens of pythons.

Normal Ice and Fire Double-headed Pythons would have been terrified by the suppression of Long Qiang's Momentum. But these pythons had lived on Corpse Bone Mountain their whole lives, constantly eroded by resentful energy, and they completely ignored it.

The dozens of Ice and Fire Double-headed Pythons paused for only a moment before they resumed their frenzied charge.

The combined Momentum of the dozens of giant pythons was like a Thunder Tribulation, bolt after bolt of Thunder crashing down with overwhelming pressure.

Not daring to hesitate for an instant, Long Ao and his two companions launched a preemptive strike. The three of them did not split their attacks, but focused on a single point in the encirclement—it was their only chance to break out.

All parties were at the Earth Emperor Realm, but these Ice and Fire Double-headed Pythons had been corroded by resentful energy for many years, altering their power. Otherwise, with Long Ao's strength, fighting the first python wouldn't have been so strenuous.

That was precisely why Long Ao chose to focus his attack on a single point.

It had to be said, the combined power of Long Ao, Long Qiang, and Long Ming wasn't as simple as one plus one plus one equals three. It was more like one plus one plus one equals *death*.

With a Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl, they charged—Long Ao in the center, Long Qiang on the left, and Long Ming on the right.

The two sides clashed instantly. At that very moment, Long Fu's voice suddenly echoed in Long Ao's mind. Within a second, Long Ao understood.

"Long Qiang, Long Ming! Fuse! Divine Dragon Arm! Nether Tiger Arm!"

Long Qiang and Long Ming didn't hesitate for a second. They let out a Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl that shook Heaven and Earth, then transformed into two beams of light that shot into Long Ao's arms.

His right arm completed its Fusion with Long Qiang, and his left arm with Long Ming, forming the so-called Divine Dragon Arm and Nether Tiger Arm.

The Fusion had just completed when two Ice and Fire Double-headed Pythons lunged forward to attack. With things as they were, Long Ao knew in his heart that breaking out of the encirclement was now almost impossible.

With the Nether Tiger on his left arm and the Divine Dragon on his right, Long Ao threw out both fists. The power was earth-shattering. He was completely unafraid of any Ice and Fire Double-headed Python. For every one that came, he smashed one back, striking with enough force to make the heavens collapse and the sun and moon weep.

In the blink of an eye, Long Ao was completely swarmed by the dozens of Ice and Fire Double-headed Pythons.
