Chapter 78 Slaying the Dragon and Obtaining the Serpent's Gallbladder
"court death!"
Enraged by Ma Cong's arrogant words, the giant python twisted its massive body in the air, opened its huge mouth, and spewed a pillar of crimson magma, like a fire dragon, towards Ma Cong.
This magma is no ordinary magma; it is the earth's core fire refined within its body, with a temperature high enough to melt steel instantly.
Ma Cong neither dodged nor evaded; facing the oncoming fire dragon, he simply pushed forward with a palm strike.
"Tai Chi - Unload!"
A giant Tai Chi diagram composed of platinum-gold energy appeared out of thin air in front of him.
The magma dragon, powerful enough to melt gold and iron, seemed to sink into a quagmire the moment it collided with the Tai Chi diagram.
The violent power was constantly guided and neutralized by the slowly rotating Tai Chi diagram.
In the end, the entire fire dragon was drawn aside by the Tai Chi diagram and slammed into the distant mountain wall, melting a huge hole in it.
"What?"
For the first time, shock was revealed in the giant python's molten gold-like pupils.
Its proud subterranean fire was so easily extinguished by this tiny human being.
In the instant it was stunned, Ma Cong's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
The next second, he appeared on top of the giant python's head.
"Bajiquan - Top Elbow!"
Ma Cong concentrated all his strength into his elbow, and the platinum-gold energy condensed into a cold glint at the tip of his elbow, which he then slammed down hard towards the giant python's head.
This elbow strike brought together all the physical strength he had gained after refining his bones, as well as the fierce power of the true meaning of Tai Chi.
Its power is more than ten times stronger than before at Wudang Mountain!
boom!
A deafening roar, like the sound of a great bell, resounded.
The python's seemingly indestructible head was actually forced to slump downwards by this elbow strike.
The hardest scale on its head shattered inch by inch, and blood flowed from its body for the first time.
"roar!"
The intense pain caused the giant python to let out a painful roar.
It shook its head frantically, trying to shake the little thing off its head.
But Ma Cong's feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, clinging tightly to its head, and no matter how it rolled around, it didn't move an inch.
"It's not over yet!"
Ma Cong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he rained down punches on the wound on the giant python's head.
boom!boom!boom!boom!
Every punch contains the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.
Every punch landed precisely in the same spot.
The giant python's screams echoed throughout the entire Flame Dragon Valley.
Its massive body crashed wildly into the mountainside, leaving the valley in ruins and causing the earth to shake violently.
But no matter what it does, it can't get rid of the evil star above its head.
"Damn humans!"
The giant python finally became afraid.
It sensed the threat of death.
It ceased its fighting and its massive body sank sharply downwards, about to plunge back into the lava lake.
The lava lake is its home ground; once it returns inside, it is confident it can wear down this human.
"Trying to run away?"
Ma Cong sneered.
"Too late!"
He took a deep breath, and the muscles in his arms bulged suddenly.
"Get out here!"
He gripped the broken scales from the wound on the python's head with both hands, and by exerting force with his waist, he managed to stop the python from sinking.
A human and a dragon engaged in a primal battle of strength above the lava lake.
The giant python wanted to sink, but Ma Cong had to pull it out of the lake completely!
"roar!"
The giant python let out a defiant roar, its muscles trembling as it exerted every ounce of its strength.
However, it was horrified to discover that the tiny human's body seemed to contain endless power.
No matter how much it struggled, it could not sink any further.
Instead, its massive body is being pulled upwards little by little.
"No! Impossible!"
The giant python's mind was filled with fear and disbelief.
How could a human possess power more terrifying than that of a dragon that had lived for nearly a thousand years?
"Nothing is impossible!"
Ma Cong's eyes had turned completely bloodshot.
This is the manifestation of power being pushed to its limit.
His hand bones, which had been tempered, were now making a crackling sound, as if they might break at any moment.
But he doesn't care.
Today, he will slay this dragon!
"rise!"
Ma Cong roared, pouring all his platinum-gold energy into his arms without reservation.
boom!
The giant python, hundreds of meters long and with a body as big as a small mountain, was actually lifted out of the lava lake by Ma Cong and then slammed down onto the ground in the distance!
Rumble!
The earth trembled violently, and a huge crater was smashed into the ground.
The giant python lay at the bottom of the pit, its bones broken in countless places, and magma-like blood gushed from its mouth. Its life force instantly waned.
It failed.
A complete and utter defeat.
Ma Cong descended from the sky and landed next to the giant python's head.
He was panting heavily; that last thrust had almost exhausted all his strength.
"Human... what... what's your name?" The giant python used its last strength to utter fragmented divine thoughts.
"Emperor Wuzong, Ma Cong."
"Martial Sect..." A glimmer of understanding flashed in the giant python's eyes, and then its massive head slowly drooped, completely losing its life.
Ma Cong showed no sympathy whatsoever.
The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is the rule of this world.
He rested for a while, regained some strength, and then walked to the giant python's corpse.
He pointed his fingers like a sword, and the platinum-gold sword energy easily sliced open the giant python's belly.
Soon, a fist-sized, crimson bead radiating a scorching heat appeared before him.
Demon Core!
This beast has indeed condensed a demon core.
This is a really good thing; it's a top-quality material, whether used for alchemy or weapon crafting.
Ma Cong put it away without any hesitation.
Then, he found a dark green, glass-like gallbladder inside the python's belly.
This snake gall was as big as a washbasin, filled with liquid bile, and emitted a strange, pleasant fragrance.
The gall of a thousand-year-old fire dragon is probably no less valuable than a demon core.
It is an invaluable treasure, especially for those who cultivate fire-attribute techniques.
Ma Cong carefully put it away before turning his gaze to the nine-leafed dragon's saliva grass in the center of the lava lake.
Without the giant python's protection, harvesting the herbs was a piece of cake.
He flew to the black rock, dug up the entire dragon's saliva grass along with the soil beneath it, and placed it into the jade box in the system space.
After doing all this, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved.
Although the process was somewhat dangerous, the rewards far exceeded his expectations.
Not only did they obtain the Nine-Leaf Dragon Saliva Grass, but they also received an additional Quasi-Demon Core and a Thousand-Year Fire Dragon Gallbladder.
