Dragon Python
Having lived for millenniums, Green Dragon Fiend King had more descendants than one would bother keeping count off, yet he kept trying for more as he yearned for a pure-blooded dragon. It wasn’t easy for him to have a pure-blooded dragon as dragons were an extremely rare breed, forcing him to mate with other fiend beast races.
Long Xingyun’s father is a wyrm and his mother a spirit python, classifying him as a dragon python, yet he was ninety percent pure dragon. In addition, Long Xingyun had a knack for cultivation, earning the favour of Green Dragon Fiend King.
Unfortunately, Long Xingyun wasn’t blessed in the character department and couldn’t outgrow his ego that the majority of those he interacted with continued to blow into the heavens. After Ximen Buxing stomped him, he put it down to carelessness instead of a gap in skill. Reality wasn’t Long Xingyun’s forte. The only fiend and human he didn’t look down on was Qiao Xue.
A decent number of fiends thought decently of Mu Yu after he rescued their fiend king – partially also because of his ambiguous relationship with Qiao Xue – much to Long Xingyun’s chagrin. He, therefore, took it upon himself to prove himself superior to Mu Yu.
Whack! Mu Yu teleported behind Long Xingyun and used a knife hand on Long Xingyun’s back, but the latter managed to manifest dragon scales in time to guard his back and create distance.
“You’re fast, but it’s not enough,” commented Long Xingyun, believing he had the advantage with since he was two layers ahead of Mu Yu in cultivation.
“A solid defence, but that’s all you have.”
Long Xingyun donned his arms in black dragon scales and mutated his hands into dragon claws. He swiped his claws against each other, generating sparks and bound forward for Mu Yu’s vitals.
Mu Yu spawned an eight trigrams diagram beneath him, using it as a launch pad. The moment he drew Shadow Splitter Sword, he also blasted sword qi from it at Long Xingyun’s claws to test the waters.
Long Xingyun severed Mu Yu’s blast and pressed forward, demonstrating remarkable speed as he kept up with Mu Yu’s teleportation and was still able to swing at amazing speed.
Though their attacks grazed the walls of the turtle shell, none of them left as much as a blemish on it. To accommodate them, the shell expanded itself, creating a ceiling dozens of metres tall. The furniture was promptly moved away so as to not hinder them.
Despite Long Xingyun’s speed, he wasn’t able to land his strikes, which meant the fight wouldn’t progress. As such, he directed spiritual energy throughout his body to his arms for a large-scale attack. In response, Mu Yu activated a formation and cast another, creating the illusion that the space in front of him was undulating and he was a spectre.
Smiles came to the fiends’ faces as they anticipated Long Xingyun’s attack splattering Mu Yu’s brains. Meanwhile, Mu Yu indifferently watched the attack draw closer and closer… and closer, yet always remain that slight inch away. Eventually, the force of Long Xingyun’s attack diminished until it would do less damage than a feather brushing one’s skin, cuing Mu Yu to launch himself through So Far Yet So Close Formation and flying sidekick Long Xingyun in the chest.
Steadying himself, Long Xingyun flexed his muscles, ripping apart his shirt.
“You a fighter or a stripper?” Xiaoshuai cursed.
Long Xingyun popped up and pulled his limbs in to form a straight line from head to toe. His joints and bones began to shift around, gradually transforming him. His new form saw him sporting a python’s head with a dragon’s horn. He fired his Body Synthesis Realm dragon breath and then, leveraging his dragon body, whooshed above Mu Yu.
Mu Yu slid away; however, Long Xingyun easily kept up, intercepting Mu Yu. Mu Yu taunted Long Xingyun with a smile, then drew Shadow Splitter Sword from the void. Mu Yu generated a myriad of sword clones and then combined them to form a green dragon that easily absorbed the dragon breath.
Mu Yu’s kept his green dragon coiling around him, taunting Long Xingyun. “I guess I was wrong to assume you were a pure-blooded dragon.”
“Roar!”
