On Luo Ran, there were several pouches, and inside these pouches were several small snakes.
Although these snakes were not large, each was highly venomous.
When he had previously used the Dragon Summoning Technique, he had already released these small snakes to protect himself in the surroundings.
In the pitch-black night, these snakes were also black, only slightly thicker than shoelaces, making them extremely difficult to spot.
But little did he know, Ling Tian possessed the Art of Observing Qi.
All living things emitted qi, which could then be detected.
These snakes had been continuously emitting a dangerous aura nearby, how could they escape Ling Tian's discerning eyes?
The moment the venomous snakes' heads reared up, Ling Tian flicked his wrist, and the brick in his hand smashed directly towards them.
"Pfft!"
The venomous snake's head was instantly crushed into a pulp, and its body was pinned to the ground by the brick.
At the same time, Luo Ran's body trembled, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
These snakes were all fed with his own heart's blood, and they were intimately connected to his mind and body.
When the venomous snake died, his body suffered a significant blow.
"I really dislike people like you, so disobedient!" Ling Tian said to Luo Ran mockingly.
"Forget it, you're no fun to tease, not interesting at all. I'll just tell you directly.
Your snake, it had a terrible fate. I splashed it with alcohol and gasoline and burned it to ashes.
But that snake was quite plump. Its gall bladder was as big as a fist, and there was a large bead in its head..."
Upon hearing Ling Tian's words, Luo Ran's mouth gaped open, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, this time from anger.
The innate true dragon left to him by his master was a venomous snake born on the same day as him.
Now that the snake was dead, where would he find such an innate true dragon!
Where else could he find a venomous snake born on the same day as him!
The most crucial point was that he did not believe Ling Tian was lying, because the bead Ling Tian mentioned was precisely the demon core of this venomous snake!
Only venomous snakes that had lived for a hundred years or had been specially nurtured possessed such demon cores!
"You... you dare to kill my innate true dragon, I will make you pay with your life!"
Luo Ran squeezed these words out from between his teeth. Then, with a flick of his arms, several blades suddenly protruded from the backs of his hands.
These were a pair of special weapons, blade claws, used to injure people with the blades on the gloves. These blades were coated with a potent poison that sealed the throat upon contact with blood.
Luo Ran forcefully pushed off the ground with his legs, launching himself at Ling Tian like a fired cannonball.
And at this very moment, two dark lights shot out from his wide sleeves!
These two dark lights were, in fact, two more small snakes!
He intended to use these small snakes for a sneak attack while Ling Tian was fully focused on defending against the blade claw attack.
However, just as the two snakes approached Ling Tian's body, less than half a foot away, a white light suddenly emanated from Ling Tian.
"Bang! Bang!"
With two sounds like bursting balloons, these two slender venomous snakes were instantly blown into minced meat!
It turned out that these attacking venomous snakes had triggered the Vajra Talisman on Ling Tian's body.
The Vajra Talisman exploded in an instant, and its energy was something these small snakes could not withstand!
With the venomous snakes dead, Luo Ran also suffered the impact. His brain felt as if it had been struck by two heavy hammers, and his body suddenly froze.
At this precise moment, Ling Tian kicked out fiercely, landing squarely on Luo Ran's chest.
Luo Ran's body flew backward, several ribs on his chest were broken, and his entire chest caved inward.
His body fell heavily to the ground like a tattered sack, clearly breathing out more than inhaling.
"Heh heh, is this all you've got? You dare to come looking for trouble, I think you're looking for death!"
Luo Ran lay on the ground, staring at Ling Tian with malicious eyes. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Die... die..."
As Luo Ran spoke, using almost all his remaining strength, he pulled out a wooden牌 the size of his palm from his embrace.
Ling Tian recalled that the guy had been chanting incantations earlier, directed at this very牌.
Mysterious patterns were faintly visible on the wooden牌.
Luo Ran's mouth continued to spew blood as he chanted. Suddenly, he opened his mouth wide and, with a "wah," spat out a large mouthful of blood directly onto the牌.
At the same time, his body collapsed to the ground, dead.
The next moment, a bizarre event occurred. The blood Luo Ran had sprayed all over the ground was absorbed by the wooden牌, completely absorbed.
Then, the wooden牌 began to emit black mist. A cloud of black mist, about two to three meters in diameter, instantly enveloped Luo Ran's body.
After more than ten seconds, the smoke dissipated, and what appeared before Ling Tian was a giant python, about ten meters long and as thick as a water bucket.
The python's scaleless eyes stared fixedly at Ling Tian, its gaze filled with hostility.
Ling Tian was stunned because he noticed that the giant snake's gaze was exactly the same as Luo Ran's gaze just before he died.
Seeing this, Ling Tian let out a chuckle.
"Reincarnation technique, huh! Quite interesting!"
Ling Tian understood. The牌 seemed peculiar, and Luo Ran, on the verge of death, had used a secret technique to transfer his soul into this giant python.
At this moment, this giant python was, in fact, Luo Ran!
In reality, Luo Ran would not have resorted to this if there were any other options.
Through the secret technique, he had reincarnated into this snake, and from now on, he could only live using this snake's body.
Imagine a person's soul residing in a beast, how terrifying that was.
What was even more critical was that this snake was not his original body. As time went by, his soul energy would weaken further.
Without any special opportunities, his soul energy would eventually be devoured by this snake, and he would lose all his consciousness, completely transforming into a snake.
But he couldn't care about that anymore. If he didn't kill Ling Tian before him, even if there were opportunities, they would be meaningless!
Ling Tian looked at the python before him. Compared to the king cobra he had killed in the haunted house, this one was even two sizes larger!
Ling Tian raised his hand abruptly. Two cold glints flashed as two surgical scalpels, infused with internal energy, shot directly towards the venomous snake's head, aiming for its eyes.
However, although the snake's body was massive, its movements were incredibly swift. With a slight tilt of its head, these two surgical scalpels embedded themselves directly into the snake's body.
"Ding! Ding!"
In the dark night, Ling Tian could even see sparks.
The surgical scalpels struck the giant snake's armor-like scales and actually bent!
Ling Tian's attack, infused with a large amount of internal energy, couldn't even break through its defense!
"Damn it, this is too weird, truly f***ing weird!"
Ling Tian cursed inwardly. At this moment, the giant python opened its cavernous maw, carrying a foul wind, and lunged at Ling Tian!
