342: Dragon Snake Battle

Dragon Demon, to meet me at the start, your luck isn't so good.

The Snake Demon licked his dual blades with his long tongue, emitting a barely perceptible sound wave, probing Lin Ye.

"Oh? A mere snake dares to compare itself to a dragon?" Lin Ye's acting was on point, fully immersing himself in the role.

Yet, the Snake Demon's heart remained undisturbed.

They were both old hands; how could they be provoked by a bit of verbal trickery?

While exchanging trash talk, the two were also probing each other.

"Try to hide some of your methods to interfere with the Duel Arena's judgment," Hu reminded him.

Lin Ye nodded.

Coming here to enjoy the battle was secondary; the main goal was to make money.

To make money, he naturally couldn't expose all his methods at once.

"This conversion efficiency is too low."

Lin Ye tried to condense demonic energy.

However, he found that the efficiency of converting Star Power into demonic energy was too low.

To conceal his identity, he used a transformation spell.

And the most crucial part of the transformation spell was the conversion of demonic energy.

It required a peculiar inscription, which Hu had etched for him.

As an ancient being, Hu was highly skilled in inscriptions, so handling such a small trick was naturally easy for him.

"Without any materials, relying solely on runes will naturally be like this. After winning this round, go exchange for some materials, and I'll set up a more efficient one for you," Hu said.

While Lin Ye was thinking about these things, the Snake Demon sensitively detected his distraction.

"Good opportunity."

Eight-Bladed Snake Demon ~ On stage.

The Snake Demon wielded eight blades, like the most elegant dance, every movement impeccable, but the flashing cold light indicated the grave danger within.

Lin Ye clenched his fists, and thick demonic energy surged around his body ~ Starry Sky Battle Body demonic energy version.

The agile Snake Demon unleashed tens of thousands of slashes in an instant, like a storm, cutting at Lin Ye's physical body.

But it only produced a clanging sound.

This sound converged into a single, ear-splitting screech that made one's teeth ache.

"How is this possible? His physical body is so strong?"

The Snake Demon was somewhat surprised.

But it was not surprising that the opponent could achieve such an effect by using a skill.

"The Dragon Demon lives up to his name; the Great Snake's attacks are like hitting a steel plate."

"The Great Snake didn't use a skill, but the Dragon Demon did. It's normal to achieve this effect, right?"

"Interesting, interesting. Every strike hitting flesh, exhilarating. This battle is worth watching."

The Snake Demon changed his stance, dodging Lin Ye's probing Dragon Claw.

"Blade Storm."

The blade light materialized into a substantial storm, a massive demonic energy tornado, obscuring the entire arena, making it difficult to see clearly.

Lin Ye, controlling his Starry Sky Battle Body, was about to withstand the storm head-on.

"Lin Ye, hold back a bit. If you withstand all of the opponent's skills head-on, that's too abnormal," Hu reminded Lin Ye in his mind.

Lin Ye suddenly realized, he almost revealed his hand.

So he reduced the input of demonic energy, and the Starry Sky Battle Body persisted for a moment, dissipating after grinding down part of the storm.

The storm struck Lin Ye's physical body, instantly cutting countless wounds on him.

"Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth."

Lin Ye grew larger, his one-thousand-meter body, coupled with those wounds, appeared exceptionally terrifying.

He did not use the complete Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth.

"Star Domain."

Lin Ye only used a portion of his Four-Law Fusion Domain.

Seeing Lin Ye like this, the Snake Demon felt full of confidence.

"His physical body is decent, but his laws aren't even perfected yet. Hmph, Dragon Demon, I win!" The Snake Demon secretly rejoiced.

The Dragon Demon before him was clearly a greenhorn who had just reached the peak of the Demon King realm.

To challenge him head-on before his laws were perfected was seeking death.

The Snake Demon unfurled his body and his domain.

The one-thousand-meter Snake Demon, his eight curved blades also enlarged, and his domain was surprisingly the rare Blade Dao Law.

It was stable, completely stable.

The perfected Blade Dao Law Domain suppressed Lin Ye's Domain, and the Snake Demon felt everything was progressing in a good direction.

"Acting is really tiring," Lin Ye complained internally, but still pretended to be struggling with all his might yet still being suppressed.

"Hahaha, Dragon Demon, take my curved blades!"

The Snake Demon was in high spirits.

A dragon does not live with snakes? Hmph, today I shall slay a dragon.

The Snake Demon was very fast, and with the amplification of the Domain Law, his speed was as swift as a blade's edge.

Lin Ye could only passively take the blows, swinging his fists, trying his best to intercept the sky full of blade lights.

But two fists are no match for eight hands; he couldn't block them, simply couldn't block them.

"This Dragon Demon lost."

"The Abyssal Dragon Demon is nothing special."

"It's normal. Looking at him, he should have just reached the peak of the Demon King realm, and he came out to wander around before his laws were perfected."

"This Duel Arena is too cruel to newcomers. They shouldn't match a veteran just because he's a Dragon Demon."

"Exactly, exactly. A Dragon Demon of the same level should be invincible, but the Great Snake's laws are one level higher than his."

"And his equipment isn't even complete. Such a poor Dragon Demon is truly rare. Aren't the Giant Dragon race very wealthy?"

"Wealth doesn't mean generosity. With that dragon scale body, they wouldn't bother forging armor."

The surrounding demons pointed and commented. Dragons, while wealthy, were all misers.

As expected, Lin Ye's defeat was sealed.

Lin Ye was currently calculating the Snake Demon's demonic energy.

He decided to win by the most difficult method—attrition.

This way, the Duel Arena's next opponent match should not be greatly improved.

Planning his demonic energy, he quietly increased the strength of his Starry Sky Battle Body.

"Exhilarating, exhilarating!"

The Snake Demon wantonly wielded his long blades.

Who would understand the joy of encountering a punching bag with violent output?

That feeling of critical hits with every strike, every strike hitting flesh, he hadn't enjoyed it for tens of thousands of years.

Demonic hearts are not as they used to be; current demons are too cunning, and battles are all about scheming.

Sometimes, even if he won, he felt incredibly frustrated, wishing he could give up the victory to the opponent in exchange for a good beating.

"This Dragon Demon is too simple; he's someone worth befriending." The Snake Demon attacked Lin Ye while making other plans.

Opponents are common, but true friends are hard to find.

One willing to hit, one willing to take it.

He plays the zither, I dance.

This is a match made in heaven.

In the arena, the Blade Storm raged on endlessly.

Until a long time passed.

"How is he still holding on?"

"I don't know?"

"Just now, I thought the match was boring and went to relieve myself. How is it still going after I'm done?"

"It should be over soon; the Dragon Demon is already on his last breath."

Lin Ye indeed appeared to be on his last breath.

"Amazing, amazing."

The Snake Demon praised. Such a resilient punching bag was rare. As expected of a Dragon Demon, but victory still belongs to me.

So, he gathered his remaining strength and increased the intensity.

Lin Ye secretly increased his defense a little.

"The Dragon Demon is on his last breath."

"The Dragon Demon is still on his last breath."

"The Dragon Demon is still, still, still on his last breath."

The audience cursed. It had been going on for three days; this was too much.

Normal demon battles didn't last this long.

The Snake Demon's face was pale, but he still tried his best to gather his remaining demonic energy to attack.

"Roar."

Lin Ye erupted. He barely broke free from the Blade Storm's Bondage, tackled the Snake Demon to the ground, and his Dragon Punches left afterimages.
