Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 712 Little Green Dragon Swallowing
The golden dragon coiled high in the sky, its eyes first flashing with disdain, then turning into shock.

It couldn't believe that a mere green snake dared to charge at it so brazenly.

The dragon's might was so great that it should have made all demons bow down, but the snake before them seemed to regard it as nothing.

The python's fangs, like two poisoned daggers, were deeply embedded in the scales of its neck.

"Roar—" The golden dragon let out a painful roar, and its dragon blood gushed out like lava, splashing onto the sea of ​​the heart.

A bizarre scene unfolded—the scorching dragon blood touched the waters of the Heart Sea and ignited a raging blue flame! The flames were not the usual red, but an eerie blue, leaping and spreading across the water's surface, illuminating the entire Heart Sea as if it were a ghostly realm.

A few drops of scalding dragon blood splattered onto the python's eyes, instantly sending waves of excruciating pain through its body. But this pain did not deter the python; instead, it fueled its even more ferocious rage.

Greed, anger, and ignorance, the three poisons, are like a flood bursting its banks, pouring wildly into the enemy's will.

Having followed Xu Xuan for so long, it wouldn't be difficult for her to manipulate him with cruelty.

Since she was freed from her shackles, she felt she could do even more terrifying things.

"Not enough...not enough!"

With a sudden burst of strength, he slammed the proud dragon deep into the depths of his heart!
"boom!"

Water sprayed skyward, forming giant waves hundreds of feet high.

After this combo, even the Dragon Blood Will became dizzy and floated aimlessly in the water.

My first reaction wasn't anger, but rather disbelief and confusion.

This green snake... isn't here to transform into a dragon?
No... You, a mere lowly Green Snake, are so utterly ignorant of hierarchy and incredibly audacious!
The belated rage finally engulfed the golden dragon's consciousness. It felt its dignity as a dragon had been utterly trampled upon, a humiliation never before experienced in millennia. The golden light in its eyes surged, and its inner sea began to tremble violently.

The golden dragon divides the sea, and the flying dragon soars in the sky!
Breaking free from the shackles of the mind, it once again soars high in the sky.

His body expanded rapidly, like an inflating balloon, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached a size of a thousand miles. His dragon might was overwhelming, pressing down on the entire sea of ​​his mind until it was as calm as a mirror.

"You mere snake demon, how dare you covet the dragon's might? Since that's the case, I will cast you into the abyss of your bloodline, making you a dragon wretch who has lost its self, to be a slave for all eternity!" The golden dragon's voice, like thunder, echoed in my heart.

However, just as it was about to unleash the dragon clan's secret technique, it suddenly sensed something amiss.

"Hey?"

Where is the Green Snake?
The shadow overhead was expanding rapidly, soon covering the entire sky above my heart.

It turned out that at the moment Xiaoqing broke the shackles of the dragon transformation, a mysterious white lotus pattern appeared on her forehead, and at the same time, strange black magic patterns spread from the gaps in her scales.

Two diametrically opposed forces intertwined within her, forming a wondrous balance.

At this moment, Xiaoqing was like a legendary mortal python, its length unknown, coiled above the inner sky, like a dragon of stars, each scale reflecting countless starlight.

At this moment, she is the true ruler of this world!
The giant python's vertical pupils reflected the twisted shadow of the golden dragon, cold and merciless. Its tail swept across the void like a whip, creating a piercing whistling sound, and once again slammed the golden dragon heavily into the depths of the heart.

"Boom——"

This impact was more than ten times more intense than the previous one.

Blood surged to the heavens, and the dragon's roar turned into a mournful wail. The golden dragon struggled to rise, only to find that the waters of its heart had become viscous as glue, binding it tightly.

The giant python's body continued to expand, and the black demonic patterns on its scales writhed like living creatures, complementing the white lotus mark and radiating a suffocating pressure.

"I'll devour you—"

The giant python opened its blood-red maw, its sharp fangs dripping corrosive venom. The waters of the mind's sea boiled and evaporated the moment they touched the venom, creating a vacuum.

"No! This is impossible! You are just a little green snake, how could you have such power?!" The golden dragon struggled frantically, its claws tearing at the void, but it could not break free from the increasingly tight restraints.

In the end, the golden dragon was swallowed into the abyss.

The moment the giant python closed its jaws, the entire sea of ​​consciousness trembled violently, and the dragon's shadow shattered into countless golden lights between its fangs before being completely swallowed up.

Xiaoqing's primordial spirit body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling azure light.

From that moment on, her body, soul, and instincts no longer craved to become a dragon.

real world--

"Crack!"

The crimson sphere above the altar exploded with a deafening roar, and the dragon's might dissipated into a sky full of blood mist.

Xiaoqing suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils transforming into two burning azure vertical beams, her body surrounded by a powerful demonic energy intertwined with dragons and snakes.

Xu Xuan's lips curled up slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "The green snake swallowing the dragon, very cool."

Little Green King's mouth immediately twitched slightly, then he coughed lightly to show his composure.

With a flash, she transformed into a streak of azure light, soaring straight into the sky, her jade hand forming a claw as she stabbed fiercely into the blood-red sphere.

The sphere exploded, scattering blood mist and revealing a crimson gem suspended within.

The gemstone was crystal clear, with eerie blood-red patterns flowing across its surface, but inside there was only a wisp of golden light, so faint that it seemed as if it might be extinguished at any moment.

"Oh, that's all."

Without even glancing at it, he tossed it to Xu Xuan below.

Xu Xuan raised his hand to catch it, pinched the gemstone and shook it between his fingers. The dragon blood essence inside was as thin as water, making a soft "ding-dong" sound.

"Tsk, is that all?" He curled his lip, looking disgusted. "You put on a show, but all you've got is this scrap?"

The rewards from this small instance were truly disappointing.

"Let go... let go..." A hoarse plea suddenly came from all directions, like the whispers of thousands of dead souls, or like the entire Dragon Palace sobbing.

The next moment, the entire world trembled violently!

The coral forest grew wildly, its sharp branches piercing the ground, twisting and writhing like living creatures; the waters of the Dragon Pool overflowed, pouring down like a torrential rain of blood; and the corpses of demons, dormant for millennia, rose into the air, their bones piecing together with a chilling "crack" sound—

The entire Dragon Palace was twisted and reassembled, pavilions and towers collapsed and were reshaped, and jade and rubble surged and coalesced.

In the blink of an eye, a colossal creature formed from the entire Dragon Palace appeared, looming over the sky!
It was a giant dragon that was tens of miles long, but it was too old.

The dragon scales are peeling glazed tiles, the dragon claws are broken pillars, and the dragon whiskers are tattered, fluttering curtains. And those eyes that should have been majestic are actually two ancient bronze lamps about to go out, their wicks flickering weakly, as if they could be blown out by the wind at any moment.

The dragon roared, its voice hoarse like the scraping of rotten wood: "Give me back...my blood..."

"A boring scam. The final boss is so weak. I was hoping to meet the real Dragon King of Dongting Lake, or that legendary Dragon Maiden..."

Xu Xuan was really angry; this kind of plot ending was just too... low-class.

The so-called "Cangyuan Tianju Palace" is nothing more than an illusion created by dragon blood gems. For thousands of years, the Dragon Palace has continuously devoured intruders, using their flesh and blood to maintain the existence of this magnificent tomb.

That's how distorted the idea of ​​spirits communicating with the grave is—it's just that the dead don't want to die.

However, this cold-blooded, brutal, and greedy demeanor... gave me a deeper understanding of dragons.

Thinking back to the earth-shattering battle at Yunmengze, and looking at this "pseudo-dragon" pieced together from broken bricks and tiles, the Holy Father couldn't even muster the interest to mock it.

The enormous dragon body appeared imposing and its magical power was astonishing, but in reality, its level of power was pitifully low.

He casually took out a jade box and slowly and methodically put the ruby ​​inside in front of the old dragon.

The dragon opened its decaying maw, and a foul, eerie wind carrying millennia of accumulated resentment rushed towards them.

Still rambling on about some random things.

Even Xiaoqing pouted, her eyes filled with disappointment.

After all that effort, the dragon blood turned out to be defective, and there wasn't even a trace of the Dragon Gate.

Besides, fighting a boss like this is really... not impressive enough.

"Turtle Master, go." The order from Master Qing startled his subordinate.

Turtle Big: "What?!"

I'm not even as big as one of the toenails of this pieced-together dragon.

What did it say in the illusion? That the people in Baoan Hall are all devils, and that anyone with even a little bit of value will be exploited to death.

If you two leaders had even a shred of conscience, you wouldn't have let me go.

Even if the opponent is ugly in appearance, this fluctuation is not something a turtle skilled in working behind enemy lines can handle.

With a pained expression, it could only indicate that it was not good at direct combat and hoped that the two big shots would have mercy.

Xu Xuan nodded earnestly and reassured him, "It was our fault. Next time, we'll send you on some infiltration missions."

"Thanks Hall..."

Before he could finish speaking, Turtle was struck dumb—he'd been tricked!
Is this what I meant? You promised on the back of Nanshan Mountain that this would be the last time...

Moreover, with a formidable enemy at hand, how could you two still be plotting against yourselves? It's no wonder that Baoan Hall is thriving; it's all thanks to your leadership.

Gui Da was filled with grief and indignation, while the head and deputy head of the hall revealed evil smiles.

Xiaoqing also put away her previous disdainful expression, took out Gan Jiang and Mo Xie and started slashing.

The sword light darted about like a dragon, each strike precisely hitting the joints of the dragon's body. The dragon claws pieced together from the pillars and the dragon scales formed from the glazed tiles crumbled under her fierce sword energy.

"boom--"

As the final sword light pierced through the dragon's head, the entire dragon collapsed with a deafening roar.

Before the scattered bricks and rubble could reassemble, Xu Xuan called out, "Let's go, let's go, this is no fun."

The moment the three of them transformed into streaks of light and rushed out of the Dragon Palace gate, a deafening collapse sound came from behind them.

Having lost the last drop of its blood to sustain it, the old dragon finally returned to dust with a mournful howl of resentment.

The business of the Baoantang group came to an end. Standing above Dongting Lake, they looked down at the changes below, their faces full of the joy of their gains.

"Tsk, quite a commotion." Xu Xuan squinted as he watched the ruins of a magnificent building rise from the water and then crumble into dust in the waves.

A rumbling sound like muffled thunder came from the bottom of the lake, and the entire body of water was like a giant boiling cauldron, with turbid waves rising into the sky and whirlpools forming everywhere.

The fragments of the thousand-year-old coral fell like blood rain, with some even brushing past the hems of the young cultivators' robes.

The fortune of Dongting Lake is visibly fading, having lost at least 30%—if Lord Yunzhong knew this…

"Ahem, let's go back to Taihu Lake to rest."

"Prepare for war."

The group quickly made their escape.

However, when they reached the confluence of the three rivers, the head and deputy head of the hall landed ahead of time because a dragon was looking for them.
