Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 296 Slaying the Snake
As the air force dove for the second time, some of the monstrous snakes, adept at leaping, roared and jumped up suddenly.

Dozens of strange snakes leaped toward the deep, dark fury.

Just as the strange snake was about to pounce on him, Dark Wrath let out a soft snort, and his body suddenly burst forth with white light.

Dragon's Might Impact.

All the strange snakes were momentarily stunned, their bodies freezing in mid-air before plummeting to the ground.

Roar……

The two heads of the Dark Wrath spewed dragon breath again, engulfing a large number of monstrous snakes.

Not all flying monsters possess the power of Dark Wrath; the four dragons were wounded, and two flying monsters fell.

The serpents cried out even louder when they saw that they could attack the flying monsters.

"Attack!" At the command of the Blasphemous Scholar, Zhou Leng and his close-combat army charged out.

Zhou Leng took the lead and charged ahead.

Directly opposite, a large snake, as thick as a person's waist and covered in hair, pounced and bit.

Zhou Leng dodged to the side and slapped the strange snake with his palm. The strange snake roared and flew backward, crashing into other strange snakes. Then it shook its head and pounced straight at him.

This palm strike failed to severely injure the monstrous snake.

Zhou Leng recalled the sensation from just now; the strange snake, with its powerful body, had dissipated a large amount of his force.

Moreover, the snake's skin seemed unusual.

Zhou Leng stepped forward and engaged the strange snake in battle.

With the ground forces entangled in the serpent, the air force immediately gained a huge advantage and launched continuous attacks from the sky.

The air force arrived for the third time, changing to a dive attack, grabbing the monster snake and flying into the air. Using their superior strength, they killed the monster snake in mid-air.

The Dark Wrath is especially fierce; it has only four claws, and in a single dive, three claws each seize a monstrous snake.

The dragon's claw pierced through the monstrous snake's body, and with a surge of dragon power, it tore the snake apart, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Zhou Leng fought while observing the Dark Wrath.

If my estimation is correct, my martial arts index is over 12, probably around 13, but Dark Wrath's martial arts index is probably around 18, or even close to 20.

This was the first time Zhou Leng had encountered such an exhilarating life-or-death battle since leaving the Ancient River Sect, and he initially held back.

As the number of strange snakes increased and the other monsters were forced to retreat, Zhou Leng no longer held back and went all out.

One punch, and the tiger's roar shook the heavens.

With a single palm strike, a wave roared ten feet high.

One finger can pierce flesh and split bone.

One kick, sweeping across a thousand armies.

Soon, they switched to emphasizing leg techniques.

The monstrous snake's body was incredibly strong, almost like a giant, and its leg techniques were even more lethal.

The Divine Flying Cloud Kick, like a pillar of heaven crashing down, was unstoppable by any strange snake.

High in the sky, Dark Wrath surveyed the battlefield, glanced at Zhou Leng, and nodded slightly.

This warrior's strength indeed far surpassed that of the other demons, comparable to that of a giant.

The Dark Fury growled and swooped down again.

Suddenly, dozens of basilisks leaped up in unison, including their leader, and pounced on the dragon high in the sky.

Dark Wrath sneered and cast another spell, unleashing a powerful dragon's might.

But the moment the dragon's might struck, the serpent leader suddenly let out a shrill scream.

The cry transformed into a strange power, disintegrating the impact of the Dark Wrath Dragon's Might.

Caught off guard, Dark Wrath was pounced on by dozens of serpent monsters.

Some of the basilisks grabbed his dragon claws, some grabbed his dragon wings, some bit his belly, and some even rode on his back.

The 25-meter-long monstrous snake leader, resembling a python, coiled around his neck.

The deepest rage lost its balance and crashed to the ground.

"Ow..."

The deep, dark fury was like a large carp thrown ashore, thrashing and struggling, roaring loudly, and spewing dragon breath from its mouth.

The strange snakes nearby were burned by the dragon's flames, screaming in agony.

More monstrous snakes surged forward, like a swarm of ants, rushing towards the Dark Wrath.

"Quickly! Rescue the Dark Wrath!" the Blasphemous page cried out in a piercing scream.

The demon warlocks immediately unleashed various inspirational spells, and bursts of blood-red light rippled through the ranks of monsters.

Zhou Leng was caught in the middle of it all. Even with the protection of his martial will, he was still affected. His eyes turned slightly red, and a dragon-like ferocity flashed in them.

"kill!"

The demons howled as they charged toward the Dark Wrath.

In the sky, the dragons landed beside the Dark Wrath and fought the basilisk like chicks pecking at insects.

With a leap, Zhou Leng used his light-footed skill to step on the heads of the strange snakes and rush forward.

"Ow..."

Deep Dark Wrath's neck was locked by the basilisk leader. He struggled desperately, rolling around, but could not break free from the basilisk leader.

He was very strong, and the basilisk leader was no weakling either.

Zhou Leng judged that although the leader of the serpents had the upper hand for the time being, the Dark Wrath was too strong and must have a trump card up its sleeve.

The two enormous monsters were entangled together, rolling and smashing wildly on the mountaintop battlefield.

A moment later, Dark Wrath rolled nearby, and the serpent leader, with Dark Wrath wrapped around its neck, charged straight at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng pointed his right hand together as a sword, and the true energy at his fingertips transformed into a cone-shaped tip.

The powerful true energy not only covered the fingers, but also spread to the wrists and elbows.

The third move of the Sky-Severing Finger, Star Piercing, is a variation of the Great Star Piercing.

The sword thrust out, the fingers piercing through the back of the serpent leader, the entire hand plunging in, then the wrist, the forearm, and finally the elbow, all the way in.

The fingers penetrated deep into the snake leader's body, stopping when they touched the hard bones.

Zhou Lenghua's fingers became claws, and his true energy twisted violently with his arm, tearing apart flesh and blood, widening the wound, grabbing the bones, and pulling outward with a sudden burst of force.

"Ow..."

The serpent leader screamed, its body springing back like a spring, releasing its deep, dark rage. Its terrifying serpent body, like a pillar of flesh and blood, lashed out at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng blocked with both arms, and several crisp cracking sounds were heard. His body flew dozens of meters backward, crashing into the strange snake and the demon in succession, bouncing on the ground.

Zhou Leng endured the pain and got up, looking at his arms. The bones were slightly fractured, and he was temporarily unable to fight with his hands. Looking up, he saw that Dark Wrath had completely broken free from the serpent leader. Like a crazed monster, he pounced on the serpent leader, tearing at it with his claws, biting it with his teeth, stomping on it with his legs, and constantly casting spells.

Dark rage, fury.

The serpent leader used various methods, such as whipping with its long body, coiling around the body of the Dark Wrath dragon, or tearing and biting.

The two enormous creatures, each as long as a seven-story building lying horizontally, were entangled together, tearing and rolling around on the battlefield.

In just a short while, the serpent leader was covered in large wounds, bleeding profusely, and its bones were broken.

The Dark Wrath's wings were damaged, one of its claws was broken, some of its bones were shattered, and its body was covered with wounds inflicted by the serpent leader.

Although Zhou Leng's arms were injured, his legs were intact. He glanced around and saw that the number of strange snakes still outnumbered the demons, and the Ice and Snow Cult was in dire straits.

He took out the medicine and ate it, then drank all the tiger-striped bamboo water and used his internal energy to heal his wounds.

Zhou Leng's arms hung limply as he rushed to the Ice and Snow Cult's location. Using only his Flying Cloud Kick, he beat the monstrous snake, causing it to howl and retreat in defeat.

"My lord, please take a rest," Snow Mountain Rock called out loudly.

"It doesn't matter."

Zhou Leng used the strange snake in front of him as a whetstone to hone his martial arts skills.

Having grown rapidly, what we lack most is this kind of life-or-death battle.

Just as Zhou Leng was enjoying the killing spree, a piercing dragon roar suddenly resounded throughout the entire arena.

Zhou Leng and everyone else looked in the direction of the sound.

Then, the Dark Wrath, its body covered in blood, stood in the center of the battlefield, a huge snake head in its mouth.

Fresh blood gushed from the severed head of the monstrous serpent leader.

With a flick of its head, Dark Wrath flung the snake's head upwards, spraying blood across the sky.

The snake's head fell, and he opened his mouth and swallowed the huge snake head.

"kill!"

The Dark Wrath exuded a terrifying pressure, and all the monsters were driven by fear and madness, involuntarily attacking the monstrous snake.

With their leader killed in battle, the serpents held out for only a short while before scattering and fleeing.

The monsters stood atop the mountain littered with corpses, roaring with glee.

"Collect the blood of the serpent leader." After issuing the order, Dark Wrath suddenly sat down on the ground, raised his head high, and closed his eyes.

The demons used magic to collect the snake blood of the serpent leader and bottled it up.

Each bottle could hold a bucket's worth of health, and in the end, thirty-one bottles were filled.

Zhou Leng took a closer look at Deep Dark Wrath. The aura in his abdomen was intense, not from healing, but rather from absorbing power.

That snake head.

Zhou Leng walked toward the corpse of the monstrous snake leader.

Tear off a small piece of snake meat and put it in your mouth to chew slowly.

It has a strong fishy, ​​slightly bitter, and spicy taste, but no foul or gamey smell.

As it was swallowed, a burning sensation spread throughout the body, a wisp of poison churned in the stomach, and at the same time, a hot current flowed through the body.

The power of this piece of meat is more refined and stronger than that of blue dragon meat.

It is also more toxic.

Ordinary people cannot consume it during their prime years, as the power they absorb cannot keep up with the damage caused by the poison, but it is of no harm to Zhou Leng.

I reached out and touched a little blood, then put it under my nose. Like meat, it tasted fishy but didn't smell bad.

Stick out your tongue and give it a light lick; it's fiery hot.

At the same time, I felt a strange power flowing into my body through the blood vessels in my tongue.

The blood vessels throughout the body feel hot.

There are various beliefs surrounding snake blood.

Zhou Leng looked at Deep Dark Wrath, who had swallowed the entire snake head and was absorbing its power.

Under the command of the Blasphemous Page, the monsters cleaned up the battlefield.

Before long, the monstrous snake's corpse was piled up, and the dead monsters were also piled together, while the wounded monsters silently healed themselves.

The subordinates walked up to Zhou Leng.

Everyone looked behind Dark Wrath.

At the very center of the mountaintop, there is an artificial flower bed.

In the flower bed, only one green plant, about one meter tall, grows.

At the top of the green plant, three flowers, each the size of an adult's fist, are in full bloom.

The flowers are dark red, with iridescent light flowing across their surface, as if flowing with rainbow nectar.

The flower's stamens were actually alive, resembling tender yellow earthworms, slowly wriggling.

The flower bed was enveloped in a soft white light.

Snow Mountain Rock said, "That is the Dragon Blood Flower, but whether we can get it depends on luck."

"How so?" Shen Jun asked.

"Don't you find it strange? Even if the beasts are guarding the treasure, why don't they take it themselves? The reason is that white light."

"No one knows why the white light is formed; all that is known is that it has a powerful protective force."

"As for how to break the white light, there is still no method."

"It's said that it all depends on luck. For example, Li Shenkong was able to easily pass through the white light and obtain the treasure."

"On the other two occasions, the white light was faint. The demons destroyed the white light before they were able to obtain the treasure inside."

"If we can't shatter these white lights, then wouldn't we be wasting our time?"

"It wasn't a wasted trip. Take a look at your rankings, have you improved?"

Everyone looked at the leaderboard, their faces beaming with joy.

Many people rose by hundreds of places, and some even rose by thousands.

“That’s right, following the Dark Wrath will bring us meat. We can definitely eat the meat of these monstrous snakes too.”

"Hmm? Humanity's ranking this time is a bit high."

"how?"

"Look, there aren't many humans in the top 100, but there are significantly more in the 100 to 1000 ranking."

“Strange, this has never happened before.”
