I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 99 - 77: A Tiny Python Aspires to Become a Dragon?

Chapter 99: Chapter 77: A Tiny Python Aspires to Become a Dragon?

The child seemed dazed, as if he hadn’t realized what had happened yet.

His figure swayed, and with a "thud," he fell to the ground.

As blood gushed out, his body gradually transformed, revealing its original appearance.

Short and robust limbs, dense gray hair, and two particularly prominent incisors.

It was unmistakably a—

"Groundhog?"

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, "No wonder the tunnel was dug so rapidly; specialization really does have its advantages."

"Little Hui!"

The muscular man’s voice was filled with sorrow.

For this mission, a total of seven demons were deployed.

Led by Jue Tong, five of the Demon Clan were responsible for infiltrating the inner part of Tiandu City, while he and Little Hui were tasked with refining a strand of Dragon Qi at the bottom of Canglan River.

Now, six demons had perished, leaving only him...

Hoo—

The wind howled.

Qiu Longgang, dressed in a pink robe, caught up, his eyes filled with surprise when he looked at Chen Mo.

This guy was too fast!

Even as a fifth-grade Martial Artist giving his all in the chase, he barely managed to keep up...

Swoosh—

Boom!

In the distance, a Sound Arrow exploded in the night sky.

Li Yuan was signaling to the Assistant Officers in the village.

Seeing this, the muscular man knew there was no escape, and a determined look flashed in his eyes.

His body rapidly expanded, ripping his clothes, and transformed into a colossal Black Python tens of meters long!

"If you insist on forcing me, then let’s all perish together!"

The yellow vertical pupils stared dead at the two, then the creature turned and plunged into the surging river waters!

Chen Mo and Qiu Longgang didn’t hesitate to follow.

At this time, dawn was approaching but not yet bright; visibility under the water was extremely low, barely making out a dark figure swiftly swimming downward.

Boom—

Lightning flickered around Chen Mo, parting the river water as he shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring!

Qiu Longgang, caught off-guard, was shocked by the electricity, cursing under his breath as a burst of red True Yuan erupted, quickly following suit.

Reaching the riverbed, they saw the scene illuminated by the flashing lightning.

Both were instantly stunned.

They saw that in the riverbed’s mud, over seventy people, old and young, women and children, were neatly lined up, all firmly locked with thick iron chains, forming a circle.

The ground at the center of the circle was cracked, with bubbles constantly rising.

Complex arrays were drawn all around, forming a hemispherical transparent barrier that isolated the river water.

"No wonder so many people disappeared without a trace."

"Were they all hidden under Canglan River?"

Qiu Longgang’s eyes bulged in astonishment.

Golden light flickered in Chen Mo’s eyes, and the scene before him suddenly changed.

Deep purple gas spewed from the cracks, emitting a captivating glow!

"What is this?"

Chen Mo furrowed his brows.

The majestic aura from the purple gas seemed somewhat familiar; it felt a bit like the Empress...

Suddenly, notification text flashed before his eyes:

[Triggered special event: Purple Qi Ascending Dragon!]

"Ascending Dragon?"

Before Chen Mo could ponder further, the Black Python plunged into the array, opened its wide mouth, and swallowed the purple gas in one gulp!

"Aaaah!"

In excruciating screams, a distorted and enormous shadow loomed over Chen Mo and Qiu Longgang’s faces.

Both stared at the terrifying creature in front of them, expressions frozen, lips slightly moving:

"Shit!"

...

Sky Scale Guard hurried to the riverside, only seeing Li Yuan alone.

"General Li, where is the boss?" Qin Shou asked.

Li Yuan looked at the river surface, her brows furrowed: "They both pursued the Demon Clan and jumped into the river; they haven’t come up yet."

With her speed, even diving in water would be difficult to catch up; staying on shore for backup seemed better.

"It’s been so long, why is there no movement?"

"Could something have happened..."

Li Yuan looked worried.

Just then, the river surface suddenly rose tumultuously, the water level surged, and a gigantic wave hundreds of feet high crashed down!

"Holy shit!"

"What’s happening?!"

Boom—

The muddy wave cleared, and a figure burst out from within the torrent.

"Catch!"

Chen Mo was seen holding an iron chain, flinging it over his shoulder; behind him, over seventy people, old and young, hung like candied hawthorns, all with closed eyes and pale faces.

Everyone quickly connected the chains.

"They’ve only had their Essence Qi drained, they’re not dead yet..."

Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, Qiu Longgang’s urgent and sharp voice came from behind: "Chen Mo, where are you? I can’t hold on much longer!"

At the same time, two lantern-like lights lit up within the muddy waves, revealing a serpentine giant figure.

"What is that?"

Everyone was stunned.

The colossal body, hundreds of feet long, seemed as if its flesh was flipped inside out; the bloodied twisted flesh protruded out white spinal bones forming four sharp claws.

It looked grotesquely terrifying and utterly horrifying!

Qiu Longgang swung his whip, striking the Demon Python, leaving scars but failing to inflict fatal damage.

The Demon Python’s tail swept across, directly knocking Qiu Longgang away!

"What the hell is this monster?!"

Chen Mo squinted his eyes.

After swallowing the purple Qi, the Black Python underwent this terrifying transformation.

It looked as if...

the transformation into a dragon had failed?

The Demon Python coiled above the water waves, lowering its head to stare at Chen Mo, its vertical pupils filled with towering hatred!

It was this man!

Not only did he kill Little Hui, but he also pushed it into a corner!

"Aooo aooo!"

The Demon Python let out a piercing screech.

A horrifying aura steamed upwards, and it opened its gaping maw to bite!

Chen Mo was wrapped in plasma, quickly flashing like lightning, and instantly moved behind the Demon Python.

The Shattered Jade in his hand dazzled brilliantly, and he fiercely slashed down with his blade!

Clang—

Just as the long blade chopped down, white bones spread instantly, covering its entire body.

A series of sparks burst forth, leaving deep marks on the bones, causing Chen Mo’s right hand to tingle numbly!

Its hardness was far beyond imagination!

As its claw lashed out, Chen Mo dodged swiftly, constantly shifting positions, his blade relentlessly chopping at the Demon Python.

Clang—

Clang—

Clang—

Dense marks were left on the white bones, but they could not reach the flesh.

At this moment, a group of Sky Scale Guards all charged forward, but against such a massive creature, their attacks seemed somewhat insignificant.

And one lash of the Demon Python’s tail could severely injure several of them!

Cloud Cutting Whip!

Chaotic Slash Blade·Flying Waterfall Break!

Crimson light and unmatched blade light lit up simultaneously.

Qiu Longgang’s whip howled through the air, its spiked tip aiming for the left eye, while Li Yuan targeted the right eye.

However, the Demon Python seemed to see through their intentions, extending its claw to firmly catch the whip, while its tail swung and smashed towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan had no choice but to horizontally block with his blade, and he was sent flying!

His long blade struck the ground, plowing a trench of several meters before finally coming to a stop, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

He had suffered internal injuries.

Chen Mo’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

From the outside, they could not breach the Demon Python’s defenses. Moreover, the charge time for Dragon Shocking Slash was too long; the Demon Python wouldn’t give him such an opportunity.

So, the only way...

"Aooo aooo!"

The Demon Python howled towards the sky, its aura reaching the heaven.

The next moment, a figure plunged directly into its mouth.

Demon Python: "?"

"Chen Mo!!"

Li Yuan saw this scene, her pupils shrinking to pinpoints, her cheeks instantly losing color.

It was as if she was on a suicidal mission, dragging her long blade and charging forward.

"Boss!"

Qin Shou’s eyes were bloodshot as he desperately chopped at the Demon Python’s body.

However, no matter what they did, they could not break through the sturdy bones.

Bang!

Demon energy erupted from the Demon Python’s mouth, Qiu Longgang’s movements slowed, as the tail broke through the air and harshly whipped him away!

"Puh!"

Qiu Longgang spewed blood, lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long while.

Everyone on the scene was wounded, and less than five could still stand!

Their faces were filled with despair.

With both Hundred Household Officers, one swallowed and one severely injured... could they really defeat such a demon?

Only Li Yuan hadn’t given up.

She was thrown away time after time, and yet she dragged her long blade and rushed forward again.

Her black hair disheveled, her body drenched in fresh blood, yet she seemed unfeeling, her eyes filled with a nearly crazed stubbornness!

"You bastard!"

"Give him back to me!"

True Yuan reversed, blood ignited, desperately squeezing out potential at any cost.

Chaotic Slash Blade·Sacrificial Strike!

The Stray Blade cut through the air, a surge of Sword Qi sweeping forth!

The Demon Python’s eyes were filled with scorn, as it stretched out its bony claw and caught her mid-air.

Then, opening its massive maw, it was about to swallow this annoying fly.

The difference in strength was just too great.

It was over...

Looking into that abyss-like giant mouth, Li Yuan’s eyes seemed hazy, as if she was back on the night they hunted the Faceless Demon.

The same demonic night, the same life-and-death moment...

So vivid, as if it had just happened yesterday.

The stunning blade by Chen Mo then had saved her life, but when Chen Mo was in danger, she was powerless.

"I don’t want you to die, I want you to live."

Li Yuan’s vision blurred.

In a daze, she saw that dazzling blade light from that night once more.

Under everyone’s extreme shock, a brilliant speck of light burst forth from inside the Demon Python, its massive body continually collapsing inwardly, and fear finally flickered in the Demon Python’s eyes.

The next moment, it explosively expanded, its hundred-meter body burst into fragments!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, raining blood like a torrential downpour!

Step, step, step—

Within the boundless blood rain, a tall figure slowly walked out, holding the weakened Li Yuan in his arms.

Li Yuan lifted her head, looking through the crimson curtain of rain at that handsome face.

It felt like yesterday, yet also like ages had passed.

However, what everyone didn’t notice was that from within the corpse of the Demon Python, a stream of deep purple Qi rose and entered Chen Mo’s body.

[Received True Dragon Qi.]

[Event Concluded.]
