Reborn as a Snake: Forging a Demon Court Starting from a Black Python

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "This one is indeed not yet refined."

He wasn't lying; he used his innate supernatural power to devour the dragon energy, rather than refining it.

The Dragon King of the Still Sea did not believe it and stared at Lin Xuan, but found that Lin Xuan was very calm and did not seem to be lying.

He was immediately filled with endless doubts.

If this dragon hasn't absorbed the dragon energy yet, why is it wasting its time with me until now?

Seeing that the Dragon King of the Still Sea had not launched an attack, Lin Xuan was happy to relax, calmed his mind, and waited patiently.

Although this is a combat instance, you can still exit combat mode.

Sure enough, after several dozen breaths, the "In Battle" status bar disappeared from Lin Xuan's status bar, and health recovery icons kept appearing above his head.

Almost simultaneously, the Jinghai Dragon King also began to recover health, its health bar slowly increasing, but its health was not as much as Lin Xuan's, so the recovery speed was naturally slower.

This wasn't the first time Lin Xuan had used this move, so he was very skilled at it, and even the Dragon King of the Still Sea couldn't see any flaws in it.

Unfortunately, the Dragon King of Jinghai was a dragon, not a human cultivator; otherwise, Lin Xuan could have used the classic technique "The Same Trick Again" to recover health even faster.

The Dragon King of Jinghai was not stupid after all. Although he could not see through Lin Xuan's thoughts and methods, he still sensed that something was wrong.

Just now, this dragon was shouting and attacking me, so why did it suddenly stop? Something's not right! There's something wrong here!

The Dragon King of Jinghai no longer hesitated, fearing that Lin Xuan was delaying in order to wait for Bai Suzhen's arrival. This time, he went all out from the start.

Each claw left a huge mark in the water, and even the scattered ripples contained terrifying power.

Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "Dragon King of the Still Sea, you are quite clever compared to cultivators in the mortal realm."

He neither dodged nor evaded, taking the blow head-on. His body trembled violently, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound.

But Lin Xuan also seized the opportunity to retaliate, leaving two long claw marks on the Jinghai Dragon King's body with his claws.

The dragon and the real dragon clashed in a fierce battle within the gradually crumbling Dragon Palace, the sounds growing increasingly terrifying.

The aftershocks of the battle eventually affected the Dragon Palace's formation, making it unable to block out the outside world's view any longer.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals can finally see some scenes.

"Why...why is our Dragon King fighting a flood dragon? Where is the immortal from earlier?"

"Let's forget about the immortals for now. Where did this dragon come from? How dare it oppose a true dragon? Is it tired of living?"

They whispered among themselves, growing increasingly puzzled, yet their expressions gradually calmed.

It's good to know what happened!

We thought something terrible had happened! Turns out it was just a blind dragon coming to our Dragon King's doom.

That's all right now!

But at this moment, Crab became nervous.

not good!

Lin Xuan actually has such strength that he can fight the Jinghai Dragon King for so long and doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage?

If he wins, then I'll be in trouble...

Just as Crab was panicking, Lin Xuan burst into laughter, pressed down hard on the dragon's head with his two front claws, and slammed it heavily against the edge of the Dragon Palace.

Huge ripples appeared instantly; this was the Dragon Palace's formation!

The formation suffered a violent impact, almost reaching its last gasp, and soon became dim and shaky.

The sounds from the Dragon Palace grew clearer.

Lin Xuan laughed loudly, "What dragon sons and grandsons? They're all useless!"

"And to the crab outside, I must thank you today. Without your help, that stupid dragon wouldn't have been so easily fooled!"

"Haha, he even treated me like a celestial being, respectfully welcoming me into the Dragon Palace. How utterly foolish!"

Crab was both anxious and angry upon hearing this, and wanted to say something, but he was at a loss for words.

It knew it knew it wanted to betray Lin Xuan, but now it admitted that once Lin Xuan killed the Dragon King, he would definitely come after it!

But if the truth isn't told...

Crab felt a chill run down his spine, as if countless people were staring at him.

It knew that this was not an illusion. Although those shrimp soldiers and crab generals did not know the whole story, they could roughly piece together the truth based on Lin Xuan's few words.

"So that immortal was actually this dragon in disguise? We didn't even see through it!"

"Hmph, isn't it that crab that's causing trouble? I never realized it was a spy sent by the dragon."

"Let's go and inform the Dragon King of the East Sea right now. No matter what this crab's background is, whether he was a crab general of the East Sea Dragon Palace before or not, we can't let him get away with this!"

Several clever shrimp soldiers shouted and ran out.

They weren't just trying to expose Crab King; they also realized that their own Dragon King was about to be defeated.

Once the Dragon King dies, what good will become of his subordinates? They might as well take this opportunity to escape!

With someone taking the lead, the other shrimp soldiers and crab generals also woke up in alarm, scattered in all directions.

Seeing this, Crab was so anxious that he waved his hands and feet, wanting to stop them, but he didn't know who to stop, so he could only look at Lin Xuan with longing eyes.

He hoped that his master truly regarded him as a loyal subject and would quickly kill the Jinghai Dragon King before pursuing the escaped shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

But when it turned its head, it didn't see Lin Xuan; instead, it met the eyes of the Jinghai Dragon King.

The Dragon King of the Still Sea had bloodshot eyes, and the killing intent emanating from his pupils was almost solidified.

It glared at the large crab and roared, "So you've been lying to me all along? How dare you!"

Crab didn't know how to respond, so he could only lower his head hastily and mutter to himself:

"Why are you cursing me? It's because you can't beat that Lin Xuan!"

"You're a useless dragon king, even a mere flood dragon can ride on your head!"

Crab dared not look at the battlefield again, but could hear terrifying roars.

The intense tremors were transmitted through the seabed to its body, making it very uneasy and even more afraid to look up.

After an unknown amount of time, the Dragon King of the Still Sea let out a mournful cry and howled.

"Lin Xuan! Do you really intend to kill me? You plundered the dragon energy of Jinshan Temple and caused a great flood that disrupted Hangzhou. Although the Heavenly Court has issued an edict ordering the East Sea Dragon Palace to capture you, this is only a temporary danger."

"Decades later, when the storm has passed, you can still reappear in the world!"

"But if you kill me today, you will have made a blood feud with the Dragon Palace of the East Sea! Don't underestimate me just because we are not related by blood; I also have a connection with the Dragon King of the East Sea... Ah!"

Before the Dragon King of the Still Sea could finish speaking, Lin Xuan opened his mouth wide, his sharp teeth tearing open its throat and devouring its blood.

The Dragon King of the Still Sea could no longer make a sound. He could only watch Lin Xuan with his eyes widening and his whiskers slowly falling off like fallen leaves.

After twitching for a while, all four claws lost all strength and fell to the ground.

Lin Xuan, however, presented a completely different picture.

As the dragon blood entered his throat, a burning sensation immediately arose, followed by a series of system notifications.
