Chapter 413: Demonic Dragon vs. Nv Ba - Get Down
"This is really a headache. I originally wanted to use you to refine my two treasured swords, but you're all rushing to surrender one after another. If I don't accept, it would seem like I don't have the capacity to tolerate others!"
Tang Song shook and stretched his body, which had been sitting for a long time. He tilted his head and looked at the Old Demon Dragon before him. "But I don't take just any Tom, Dick, or Harry here. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself!"
"Nv Ba!"
With a light shout from Tang Song, a black and white Yin-Yang Auspicious Cloud rose above his head. Within the Auspicious Cloud, there was a Yin-Yang Diagram, a Golden Great Bell, and twelve Black Flags floating above the cloud.
The Old Demon Dragon stared at the strange phenomenon above Tang Song's head with an uncertain expression. As one of the oldest demonic dragons in this Universe, he could feel the powerful strength erupting from this originally unremarkable human body. This strength had already surpassed the limit of the Skyfather level. Even with the Great Will of the Abyss blessing him, he couldn't reach this height. Feeling the powerful strength displayed by Tang Song, the Old Demon Dragon's body trembled slightly.
Tang Song glanced slightly at the Old Demon Dragon. From the Auspicious Cloud above his head, a bloodlight flew out. The bloodlight landed and transformed into a woman wearing a blood-colored palace dress. With slender hands, she stood behind Tang Song, her hands hanging down.
"This is my Dharma Protector Deity. If you can defeat her, I will reserve a Position of Bell Master for you in the Great Luo Heaven!"
The Old Demon Dragon stared at Nv Ba, his dragon eye slightly open. In his dark golden pupil, countless golden runes rotated at the center. This was clearly an extremely formidable eye technique.
The Old Demon Dragon stared at Nv Ba for a moment, then said gloomily, "You smell of the undead and vampires! What is your relationship with that fellow Cain?"
"Cain? Don't know him!" Nv Ba shook her head.
"I thought you were an acquaintance?!" As the Old Demon Dragon spoke, his figure suddenly flashed, appearing before Tang Song, and he punched towards his heart.
"Instead of making me fight her, why don't I see just how formidable you truly are!"
Facing the Old Demon Dragon's sudden attack, Tang Song's figure remained still, his eye still holding that hint of pickiness and mockery.
A bloodlight flashed, and Nv Ba blocked the Old Demon Dragon. Her cold face was expressionless. Corpse Qi condensed Inside the Body, and she similarly punched towards the Old Demon Dragon.
The two fists silently cut through the air, and silently met.
Tang Song waved his arm, and the Environment of the Ship Cabin instantly changed, becoming a vast and boundless Mirror Dimension. Everything around them seemed to be in a mirror World.
In this mirror World, up and down were inverted, and Space seemed to be composed of countless mirrors... This was precisely Master Ancient One's specialty—the Mirror Dimension! Having set up the Stage, Tang Song directly pulled over a chair, crossed his legs, and sat down. In front of him was still the screen showing The Revenant, and beneath his feet, on this upside-down Mirror Battlefield, the Old Demon Dragon and Nv Ba were already engaged in battle. One was the oldest demonic dragon in this Universe, and the other was the first drought fiend in this Universe.
Their control over energy had reached a terrifying level. All destructive force was contained and not released. All strength was directly applied to the enemy's body.
They were completely unlike ordinary mediocre fighters who would destroy most of the surroundings with scattered energy before the outcome was decided! All the strength clashed on those fists.
After one punch, Nv Ba let out a muffled grunt and gently slid back three meters. A flush flashed across her face, which was like warm jade.
The Old Demon Dragon gasped, taking large steps back four or five paces. The clothes on his right shoulder suddenly exploded into shattered pieces. Looking at the broken scales on his right shoulder, the Old Demon Dragon glanced at the surrounding Mirror Dimension. He naturally recognized Ancient One's signature magic arts, but wasn't Ancient One already dead?!
Suppressing the astonishment in his heart, the Old Demon Dragon's body transformed into a faint black streaking light and pounced towards Nv Ba.
Nv Ba's body flashed. Even the Old Demon Dragon only saw a blood shadow swaying in front of him for a moment. Nv Ba's five fingers formed claws, and a faint golden-red bloodlight flickered on her ten fingers, like ten sharp swords,
fiercely digging towards the Old Demon Dragon's heart.
The Old Demon Dragon's chest vibrated slightly. With a 'creak' of sharp friction sound, countless sparks flew out. Nv Ba had fiercely clawed him in the heart.
Bang! The Old Demon Dragon felt the sensation on his heart and directly kicked out! Nv Ba blocked with both arms and was sent flying backward by a great strength, smashing through several layers of the Mirror Dimension—
The Old Demon Dragon lowered his head and looked in surprise at the five white marks on his heart. Beneath the torn gap in his suit, the five-colored black scales were clearly visible, showing five half-inch deep scratches.
It must be known that this position was his reverse scale, and its hardness was such that even the Sword of the Fallen Angel in Lucifer's hand might not be able to pierce his scales.
The Old Demon Dragon touched his heart, blinked, and looked at Nv Ba, who was walking towards him dragging her long dress. He frowned and asked, "What kind of monster are you? A deity, or a fiend? Undead? Titan?"
Nv Ba frowned her beautiful eyebrow and looked at her fingernails, which had been worn down. As five balls of blood flame enveloped her five fair fingers, her fingernails, which had been worn down by a small section, grew back.
"Your body is very hard! I'm going to get serious!"
Nv Ba calmly looked at the Old Demon Dragon. A ball of blood flame rose in her Palm. The blood flame constantly transformed in Nv Ba's Palm, changing into sabers, spears, swords, great halberds... various weapons changed in her Palm. Finally, what appeared in her Palm was a four-edged long mace. The four-edged, eight-sectioned mace body, each side emitting a brilliant radiance of blood-colored runes... Facing Nv Ba holding the blood mace, the Old Demon Dragon's face suddenly revealed a ferocious smile.
"Good, you can actually leave marks on my body? Even Lucifer couldn't leave marks on me with bare hands. The last time I was injured was tens of thousands of years ago. So, no more playing around, let's have a proper contest! Hehe, hahahaha!"
The Old Demon Dragon laughed, and his body suddenly expanded, swelling to a height of three meters. A black flame spread out wildly in all directions. Wherever it reached, all the Mirror Dimension was twisted, torn apart, and shaken into dust.
"Dong!"
A faint bell chime sounded. The Mirror Dimension shattered by the black flame seemed to fall into a time reversal, restoring to normal. The black flame dissipated, and what appeared before Nv Ba was a strong creature covered in black dragon scales, with a dragon head and a human form.
The dragon-humanized Old Demon Dragon clasped his hands together, rubbing them slightly. Sparks immediately rubbed out between his two Palms. Almost simultaneously with Nv Ba, the Old Demon Dragon's figure silently cut through the air. Their figures transformed into thousands of blood shadows appearing throughout the Mirror World, entangled in battle.
Every second, the Old Demon Dragon threw thousands, tens of thousands of fists;
But every second, the blood mace in Nv Ba's hand also left thousands of afterimages in the Mirror Dimension.
Their attacks fiercely collided in the air, like a silent play, without making any sound.
The energy on their fists and the blood mace had condensed to the extreme, and not a single bit of energy leaked out.
'Hmm', a muffled grunt. The Old Demon Dragon's massive body was struck three times in a row. The terrifying impact force shook his body and sent him flying back hundreds of meters, smashing through several mirror walls and embedding deeply into the mirror wall, sinking in two or three meters.
'Crash', glass-like mirror fragments submerged the Old Demon Dragon.
Nv Ba stood holding her mace horizontally, her eye emitting a bloodlight three meters long, looking vigilantly at the area of mirror fragments... With a crash, the Old Demon Dragon stood up from the mirror fragments, shaking off the fragments on his body. He looked at the cracked bloodstain on his arm and the broken scales.
"What kind of weapon is this?" The long-lost pain in his arm made this Old Demon Dragon feel as if he had found the passion of his youth when hunting among Titans, monsters, and deities.
"This is a mace, a traditional cold weapon from The East, specifically for breaking heavy armor!"
Tang Song, sitting on the chair and watching The Revenant projected on the screen in front of him, answered the Old Demon Dragon's question calmly. The Old Demon Dragon raised his head and met Tang Song's interested gaze.
"Your scales are quite hard. If you die in the hands of my Dharma Protector Deity, I'll skin you and make some armor. The durability should be pretty good! Hmm, it's just a bit small in body size. Can you get any bigger? Otherwise, it might not be enough for a full set of armor!"
Looking at the casual look on Tang Song's face, the Old Demon Dragon's gaze became fierce: "Good, since you want to see bigger, I'll grant your wish!"
Another ball of black dragon flame rose from the Old Demon Dragon's body. After the dragon flame, the Old Demon Dragon's body size expanded by nearly double. Although the Old Demon Dragon, now six meters tall, had grown larger, his body did not appear bloated at all. All his limbs were streamlined in a non-natural form.
The scales covering his limbs were finer. Each dragon scale was attached with layers of magic array mixed with Rune Script and Hell Runes... These magic arrays emitted colorful energy shields outwards, layered like fish scales on his scales, dyeing the scales a layer of ink color.
In the depths of Tang Song's eye, the black and white Yin-Yang Fish slowly rotated. The Old Demon Dragon's change was reflected in his vision. In his sight, the Old Demon Dragon's physical body mass instantly increased tenfold... With a roar, the Old Demon Dragon brought up a gale, transforming into a sky full of black shadows and pouncing towards Nv Ba.
The Old Demon Dragon, having unleashed himself, allowed his weight to return to three thousand tons. With his mass suddenly increased by dozens of times, his momentum was more than a hundred times greater than before! The Old Demon Dragon, having raised his potential energy to a terrifying level, pounced in front of Nv Ba and fiercely brought a knee down on Nv Ba's head!
With one knee pressing down, the powerful potential energy was like an Asteroid hitting the Earth. Under this potential energy, the air around the Old Demon Dragon's scales even rubbed out air flame ripples, smashing towards Nv Ba. Zombies, existences outside the Three Realms and Six Paths, are mostly known for feeding on blood and their indestructible, hard corpse body... The physical body strength of an ordinary Golden Armored Corpse King is enough to rival that of an ordinary Immortal's body, and Nv Ba's drought fiend Body is even three parts more solid than the Buddhist Sect's Arhat Golden Body, and her strength is astonishingly great.
Among zombies, there is a variant as famous as drought fiend—Hou! It feeds on true dragons!
Although the Old Demon Dragon had realized drought fiend's formidable nature, he still underestimated her!
Seeing the Old Demon Dragon pressing down on her head with his knee, Nv Ba swung her blood mace and struck towards the Old Demon Dragon's knee.
Besides the layer of bloodlight that flickered on the blood mace, when this mace was swung out, the violent friction between the mace body and the air even ignited a ball of flames within a distance of just over ten centimeters. Nv Ba's blood mace solidly struck the Old Demon Dragon's knee. With a dull thud, the thousands of tons heavy four-edged blood mace body smashed onto the Demon King's knee.
Bang! In the dull smashing sound, under the bloodlight wrapped around the blood mace like a maggot on bone, the defensive magic array attached to the Old Demon Dragon's scales seemed like paper. His proud scales, even harder than Adamantium, were instantly smashed into dust the moment they came into contact with the blood mace. The force with which the thousands of tons heavy blood mace was swung by Nv Ba was more than hundreds of millions of tons. The Old Demon Dragon's heavy body was sent flying high, like an artillery shell, hundreds of miles away.
However, within the Mirror Dimension controlled by Boss Tang, there was originally no distinction between up, down, left, and right. The Old Demon Dragon smashed through countless layers of mirrors in the Mirror Dimension, lifted his heels, and used his toes to plow a thousands-meter-long mark in the mirror Ground. Only when his feet turned into thick dragon claws did he finally grab the mirror Ground and stop his tumbling posture.
Where he had just passed, he had gouged out a ditch several kilometers long and over ten meters wide in the mirror Ground. On both sides of the ditch, the mirror Ground was shaken into palm-sized fragments by the immense force.
"If this is all the strength you have, leaving your scales behind would be enough for you to be an underworld constable in the Netherworld!"
In the screen projected in front of Boss Tang, the battle between High Evolutionary and Shadow Storm in The Revenant had entered a fierce stage... Without his perception armor and powerful spiritual power, having lost his mind perception and mind control abilities, High Evolutionary could only rely on his strong physical body strength to play hide-and-seek with Shadow Storm in the Jungle.
However, Shadow Storm was not having an easy time either. As the leader of the Dark Predator Clan, Shadow Storm chose to abandon most of his high-tech weapons in this hunt, entering the Jungle bare-handed with only a Predator Mask and a set of armor that retained optical stealth ability.
The two staged a grand show of mutual hunting in the tens of kilometers of Jungle. Although High Evolutionary no longer had powerful spiritual power, his physical body was no less than that of powerful heroes like Hulk and Thing. Facing such a strong prey was like a mountain hunter hunting male lions and wild boars; a moment of carelessness could result in death or serious injury.
So, although Shadow Storm was chasing High Evolutionary in the Jungle, he was very cautious, always following High Evolutionary at a distance, wearing down his strength. In fact, Shadow Storm's caution was correct. While escaping, High Evolutionary did not forget to set traps in the Jungle. Once, he used a jungle leopard as a decoy, covered himself in mud that could lower his body temperature, and lay hidden in a swamp, holding a sharpened tree trunk, wanting to deliver a fatal strike to Shadow Storm.
However, as a Predator Elder who had lived for thousands of years, Shadow Storm's strength was self-evident. His hunting skills accumulated over thousands of years were almost engraved in his DNA. He keenly discovered High Evolutionary's trap and little scheme. He deliberately lulled High Evolutionary into a false sense of security, and instead, using High Evolutionary's carelessness, directly severed one of his arms!
High Evolutionary, without his perception armor, although his physical body also possessed healing factor, it would take at least ten to twenty days to regrow an arm. In this chase of The Revenant, Shadow Storm would not give him this opportunity. In the rainforest, tens of thousands of circular maglev cameras were suspended. These cameras were originally used to observe the Experiment Subjects' evolution process in this rainforest. Now, these cameras became Tang Song's lens for live stream viewing of this real-life hunting one-on-one.
These cameras clearly projected the battle between the two from a God's eye view onto the screen in front of Tang Song. Tang Song somehow had a handful of melon seeds shimmering with a crystal luster. While cracking melon seeds and watching the live broadcast, he didn't forget to comment on the Old Demon Dragon's performance.
The strength this old fellow displayed just now didn't match his status. Abyssal Lord, World-Destroying Dragon, is this all the strength he has? This old fellow's performance was even worse than his two cheap younger brothers. Hela, holding the idea that having two weakling younger brothers was too embarrassing to spread, launched a wave of Hell special training on Thor and Loki.
The training content wasn't much, just making the two of them lead troops to battle in Hell for two and a half years, killing a Hell Lord, and only then would their training end. Now the two are still fighting under Blood Daoist. It is said that their strength is only a step away from the Skyfather level. This is partly due to the medicinal pills Hela requested from Tang Song from Tushita Palace, but it also indirectly shows what these two have gone through in the past few years—
It's best to beat your younger brother early. Facing a cold, powerful sister who could easily defeat them, Thor and Loki also tried to resist. The final result was that the two of them together were defeated by Hela in one bout, had all their blood drained, and were hung upside down on the oak tree in front of the Asgardian Golden Palace gate for nine days and nine nights, letting them experience Odin's enjoyment.
In the end, it was their mother, the Goddess of Magic, who pleaded, and Hela finally let them down from the tree.
They couldn't win in a fight, and the cunning Loki had finally enjoyed a few years of being king in Jotunheim, so he certainly didn't want to suffer in a hellish place like Hell.
It just goes to show how flexible this kid's mind is. He directly sought out his cheap brother-in-law, Boss Tang... Facing this cheap younger brother, Tang Song had no method. He had promised King Odin to look after the Aesir, but this was Hela's family matter, and even an honest official finds it hard to settle a family dispute. Tang Song simply found an excuse, saying he was cultivating in seclusion, and had someone fetch Loki a magic treasure of decent grade from the Pill Room in Tushita Palace, sending him away.
The last time he was accompanying Hela riding a horse, passively accepting the ride, he asked about the recent situation of his two cheap younger brothers. According to Hela, Loki had already activated the Frost Giant Bloodline Inside the Body, and Thor could also awaken his God of Thunder Divinity without relying on that hammer. As for why their progress was so fast, in just these two and a half years, Hela had taken over twenty bottles of medicinal pills used for healing from the Pill Room in Tushita Palace, most of which were used on these two cheap younger brothers.
Even with their strength increasing so quickly, in Hell, the two of them fighting two-on-one might not even be able to defeat a Hell Lord.
This Old Demon Dragon was clearly hiding his strength. Tang Song raised an eyebrow and directly spoke to Nv Ba: "Skin him!"
Upon hearing this, the hem of Nv Ba's long dress behind her instantly transformed into a boundless Blood Sea. Hundreds of meters high blood waves rolled, lifting Nv Ba up.
Standing on the crest of the blood waves, Nv Ba swung her blood mace. The rolling blood waves floated in the air like misty energy, condensing into thousands of thick blood mace phantoms in the air, smashing down towards the Old Demon Dragon! The Old Demon Dragon looked at the blood maces smashing down from the sky. His muscles began to contract piece by piece. The next moment, accompanied by an angry dragon's roar, a massive dragon might spread out overwhelmingly in all directions. The almost substantial black ripples caused the thousands of blood mace phantoms in the sky to dissipate.
With a low, ferocious laugh, the dragon might spread out without restraint. After the dragon's roar, the Old Demon Dragon changed his external form. His body shrinking to three meters, his muscles and bone were extremely smooth and streamlined in an unnatural form. This body size was more suitable for him to exert high speed.
A pair of wings covered in black dragon scales stretched out from his back. In his dark golden pupil, a chilling radiance flickered.
"In this form, my weight is thirty thousand tons. Coupled with my speed, one punch I throw is equivalent to the force generated by a meteor hitting the Earth. You can try to see how many punches you can take!"
Whoosh! Before the Old Demon Dragon finished speaking, he spread his dragon wing, tearing a white energy burst in the Mirror Dimension, and instantly arrived in front of Nv Ba, smashing down towards Nv Ba's head.
In the sound of a huge explosion, the Mirror Dimension within a radius of hundreds of meters centered on the Old Demon Dragon's fist was directly shaken into dust, collapsing inwards.
Nv Ba blocked this strike with her mace held horizontally, but her entire body was also directly smashed flying by this powerful strength.
Thirty thousand tons of weight is roughly equivalent to the weight of King Ghidorah when he is over three hundred meters long. Compressing this weight into a three-meter human form body, and then smashing it onto Nv Ba's body at nearly ten times the speed of sound, even Nv Ba couldn't withstand it for a moment! Just like the Old Demon Dragon earlier, Nv Ba was smashed flying hundreds of kilometers away. The entire Mirror Dimension was filled with flying mirror fragments like broken glass for a time.
The Old Demon Dragon's vertical pupils released a fierce radiance. He looked up at Tang Song, who was still leisurely watching the show, and let out a strange cry: "Since you have no sincerity in forming an alliance, I'll capture you first, and then kill that Blood Daoist!"
The Old Demon Dragon spread his dragon wing from his back, raising a sonic boom, tearing through the Mirror Dimension, and soaring towards Tang Song.
Tang Song lowered his eyes coldly. A cloud of misty energy rose above his head. A black flag unfurled, transforming into boundless giant waves, which crashed down towards the Old Demon Dragon.
As the rolling giant waves smashed down, the Old Demon Dragon flapped his wings, just about to break through the giant waves, but the giant waves disappeared before his eyes, condensing into a Big man holding a black great halberd, with an azure great python wrapped around each arm, and stepping on a black dragon!
"Get down!" The Big man coldly snorted, swung his great halberd with both hands, and heavily smashed it down towards the Old Demon Dragon...
