Dragon Blooded War God - Chapter 485: Frostflame Twin Headed Snake
This beast’s characteristics could be deduced from its name alone. To be honest, this was Long Chen’s first encounter with a large snake-type beast. It was also a two-headed snake, so Long Chen was shocked by its terrifying appearance even from far away.
It was a twenty-meter-long snake with scales covering its whole body. Half its body was covered in blue scales, while the other half was red. There was a fork at its abdomen that led to two separate heads, which were red and blue. Flames curled from the red snakehead, while frosty air surrounded the blue snakehead and thick ice formed all around it.
These two extreme characteristics had manifested in one beast.
“The Frostflame Twin Headed Snake has two demonic cores, right?” asked Long Chen.
“Of course. Beasts like that are very unique, and they are considered peerless among beasts of the same tier. Having two demonic cores also means that it’s twice as strong as other beasts, especially since it has two extreme elements. Unfortunately, this little snake is weak. Years ago, I saw a Divine Nine Headed Snake that had ten times more dominic Qi than me. It was a terrifying presence, though unfortunately, it was no match for my reincarnation powers.”
Golden Crow. Reincarnation Beast. Nine Headed Snake. Based on Little Cat’s explanation, they were beasts that slowly became stronger after the ancient dragons had gone extinct.
Just based on Little Cat’s description of the Golden Crow, Long Chen understood exactly how powerful they were.
These beasts only existed in legends.
Long Chen put aside the reverence in his heart and studied the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake closely. The snake was very fierce; even though there were no threats around, it did not relax. Both pairs of eyes took turns surveying their surroundings, constantly on high alert. A snake tongue that resembled a bright, red flame flickered from one of its mouths, while the other mouth had a tongue that resembled a blue blade. There was a fierce glint in its eyes.
The Frostflame Twin Headed Snake was much fiercer than the Ghost Shadow Fox. Long Chen believed that the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake would rush over immediately to tear him to pieces if he made his presence known.
The Frostflame Twin Headed Snake was considered a king-like presence in the second layer of the demon world. It was used to being king, so naturally, it had a terrible temper.
Long Chen did not plan to waste any time. He calmed his mind, then he prepared to attack.
That was when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from behind him. He was startled and his hair stood on end as he hurriedly hid himself. At the same time, he approached the source of the sounds. He was now a hundred meters away from the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake, and also about a hundred meters from the sounds.
Long Chen needed to confirm the intentions of these people before he could focus on fighting the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake.
Using his Soul Swallowing Gaze, he saw two people fighting each other. The Soul Swallowing Gaze also allowed him to keep an eye on the snake, he was not worried that the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake would run away. He predicted that instead of running, it would probably attack the moment it detected the commotion.
Long Chen rushed over and hid himself. He saw that the two people fighting were a man and a woman. One of them was the young man he had met twice. The first time they met, he had been kind enough to tell him the method to enter the second layer of the demon world. The second time, he had a bizarre expression and wanted to kill Long Chen. Right now, he had a manic expression on his face as he attacked the woman.
The woman’s age and cultivation level were similar to his, around the Fifth Passage Stage, which was no match for Long Chen. She was good-looking and curvy, a sexy-type woman who was hard to come by. Unfortunately, the man did not seem to realize this at all, because he continued to attack her.
“Fu Yang! You liar! You said that you loved me, but you’re attacking me now because of the Black Emperor Seal!” the woman said with extreme resentment.
“Aren’t you the same? You said you would marry me, but you hid in the second layer just because you wanted to take the Black Emperor Seal for yourself! And when I found out, you even tried to kill me! If I wasn’t smart enough, I would be dead by now! You venomous woman! How dare you call me a liar when you are one too?” the man yelled as he increased the speed of his attacks.
“I found the Black Emperor Seal on my own; it has nothing to do with you! Why do I need to share it with you? You said that you would die for me, yet now you are fighting me for the Black Emperor Seal! This shows that you are trash! You refuse to follow through with your promises!”
“Do you feel like you have suddenly seen the real me? Ptui! I am the one who has finally seen the real you! All I wanted was to share the treasure with you, and yet you tried to kill me, you venomous woman! I was the one who told you about the legend of the Emperor-tier combat technique, the Five Emperor Seals! You were the one who crossed the river and destroyed the bridge! Whatever! Since you have decided to betray me, then I will do the same! I will be taking the Black Emperor Seal, so accept your fate and die!”
Based on their conversation, Long Chen could tell that the woman was the person that Fu Yang had said he liked, and Long Chen figured out the plot. The couple was fighting each other over a treasure. Their desire for the treasure had caused their love to burst like a bubble.
Long Chen could not understand this at all. The love he knew of was the kind that made Dongfang Xuanxiao wait for Xuanming for twenty years, the kind that made him and Ling Xi willing to wait for ten years. Love would never cause two people to kill each other over a mere treasure.
Their version of love was a great shock to Long Chen because he suddenly understood just how shallow love could be in this world.
He did not hate them, though he pitied them. If they knew what sacrifice meant, then they would not die today. They would be able to gain success through this treasure instead.
Most importantly, Long Chen had heard them mention an Emperor-tier combat technique.
Beyond the Heaven-tier was the King-tier, which was equivalent to the Earthly Martial Realm. Beyond that was the Emperor-tier, which corresponded to the Heavenly Martial Realm. The dead Jiang Cheng had explained that Emperor-tier treasures were peak-level treasures across the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. Why would a peak-level combat technique be here? Long Chen genuinely thought he had made a mistake.
In reality, he had heard right. He had been listening carefully, and the man had indeed mentioned the legend of a Emperor-tier combat technique called the Five Emperor Seals.
The Five Emperor Seals likely consisted of five portions. From their conversation, Long Chen guessed that the Black Emperor Seal was one of them, though he did not know what it did.
If he could get his hands on an Emperor-tier combat technique, it would be even more effective than the Emperor Flame Pearl. The pearl would allow him to reach the Ninth Passage Stage, but the Five Emperor Seals was a technique that he would be able to use for a long time. Long Chen knew that perhaps no one possessed an Emperor-tier combat technique in the whole Divine Martial Empire.
It was a rare chance. Long Chen did not know the specifics of the situation, but all he could do was snatch it and even kill them. He did not mind killing a couple like them.
With such a huge opportunity presented to him, Long Chen would not let it go. Visjt n𝒐velbin(.)c𝒐m for new updates
The fight between the couple grew more intense, and their attacks grew more vicious, as if they were ready to kill each other. Long Chen grew very uncomfortable.
Perhaps this is human nature. I cannot even imagine what they were like when they were loving each other. Xiao Xi and I would never come to this.
Just as he thought about this, he was suddenly startled by a powerful aura behind him. Their fight had attracted the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake’s attention. The snake was a violent Category Six Heaven-tier beast, so even if the couple worked together, they would never defeat it!
It was quick, covering about two hundred meters instantly. Long Chen had no choice but to activate the Dragon Soul Transformation and change his hiding spot. Since the snake was here, he decided to wait for a suitable time to snatch the Black Emperor Seal.
He no longer cared if the couple lived or died.
By the time the couple sensed the approaching threat, the gigantic snake was right in front of them. It looked down at them from high above!
“Frostflame Twin Headed Snake!” the woman cried in terror. She was initially in an attacking stance, but when she saw the snake, she stopped and fled. She knew exactly how powerful this beast was!
Whoosh!
The Frostflame Twin Headed Snake first let out a hiss, then its first attack landed on the woman! This was its territory, and it was the king here. Not only had these two puny living beings disturbed its peace, they had even tried to run from it!
The gigantic snake’s tail flew in an arc in the air, then swept towards the couple. The woman was closer, and due to the large range of attack, it was impossible to escape. It would be difficult for both to dodge this attack!
“Fu Yang, save me!” she cried in despair. She used all her Qi to withstand the impact from the snake’s tail. The strength of a Fifth Passage Stage cultivator paired with an intermediate Heaven-tier attack was a formidable combo, so if the man launched the same attack, they would both be able to escape!
However, the man did not attack but instead ran in the opposite direction. He chuckled coldly, and as he expected, the Frostflame Twin Headed Snake’s powerful tail flung the woman into the air. A large mouthful of blood sprayed out of her mouth and her face turned pale. Almost all her bones had been broken, and it was clear that she had little time to live.
“If you die, you deserve it! The Black Emperor Seal is mine!” She was flying towards him, and when he saw that she was about to die, he suddenly grew excited and ran after her!
