Chapter 26 Dragon Transformation

Eight thick ice pillars rose from the ground, trapping the black-robed man inside.

"Qiao Yu, I've done all I can."

After trapping the black-robed man, Shi Shaorong quickly retreated.

"Thanks, sis!"

Qiao Yu leaped down from the tree, his Golden Dragon Crescent Blade cleaving down on the black-robed man.

"Qiao Yu?!"

The force of the blade blew off the black-robed man's hood, revealing Lin Lang's face, covered in fine scales. The expression on his face was one of utter shock.

"Clang!"

Lin Lang raised his hand to block, the Crescent Blade creating a series of sparks as it scraped against his arm.

Lin Lang staggered back, clutching his right hand tightly. It trembled uncontrollably, clearly injured by Qiao Yu's earlier blow.

"Qiao Yu! Back in the Ghost Mountain dungeon, if I hadn't helped you, you would have been captured long ago. How can you be attacking me now?"

Lin Lang's tone was a mix of shock and anger.

In the Ghost Mountain dungeon, he was confident that Qiao Yu was no match for him.

Yet, in such a short time, Qiao Yu could injure him with a single blow. How could he not be shocked?

"Didn't you say it yourself? The next time we meet, we'd be enemies! Besides, I'm not taking the blame for Qin Xuan's death!"

Qiao Yu pressed his advantage, advancing with his blade. At the same time, he raised the Corpse Ancestor Ring, slowing down Lin Lang to prevent his escape.

"You really think you've got me cornered?" Lin Lang's expression twisted.

With a ripping sound, Lin Lang tore off his black robe, revealing his muscular upper body and his well-defined abs.

However, what was terrifying was that all the muscles on Lin Lang's body were covered in fine scales, glinting coldly in the moonlight.

"You simply don't understand how great the power of Bai Ze is!"

Lin Lang licked his lips, his tongue splitting in two like a snake's forked tongue. His eyes also turned into vertical pupils.

Qiao Yu's expression darkened. He remembered that back in Ghost Mountain, Lin Lang was still quite human-like, apart from the scales on his body.

But now, except for the lack of a tail, Lin Lang looked exactly like a large python standing upright.

"Is it worth turning yourself into this inhuman, grotesque creature for the sake of so-called power?" Qiao Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Worth it! Of course, it's worth it!"

Lin Lang's vertical pupils were filled with fanaticism.

"How could you understand someone like me, a child who crawled out of a barren land? If I hadn't become like this, how could I have taken revenge on Qin Xuan?"

"You don't understand! Qiao Yu, you simply don't understand!"

Qiao Yu shook his head.

He had originally wanted to persuade Lin Lang to come back with him, but it seemed that Lin Lang was beyond saving.

"Lin Lang, don't blame me."

Qiao Yu raised his Crescent Blade and slashed at Lin Lang, who naturally didn't dare to take the blow with his body.

He dodged to the side, then instantly struck.

"Rapid Shadow Dragon Claw!"

Lin Lang's fingers formed a claw as he grabbed at Qiao Yu, his movements as swift as lightning, accompanied by a faint dragon's roar.

*Thwack!*

Just as Lin Lang was about to pierce Qiao Yu's heart, a large hand clamped down on his wrist like a vise.

"You call that a dragon?" Qiao Yu shook his head.

[Golden Dragon Crescent Blade Effect Dragon's Roar Combo has been triggered!]

"Let me show you a real dragon."

*Rumble!* A slightly blurred five-clawed golden dragon soared into the air, illuminating the entire Endless Forest.

"Dragon's Roar Combo!"

Qiao Yu gripped the blade with both hands and slashed down rapidly at Lin Lang.

"This is impossible!"

A look of fear appeared in Lin Lang's vertical pupils.

Although Dragon's Roar Combo was only stacked once, with Qiao Yu's 1,500 attack power, it was simply impossible for Lin Lang to withstand.

As the Crescent Blade fell, Lin Lang's body flew out like a cannonball, carving a several-meter-long furrow in the ground.

"Ugh!"

Lin Lang spat out a mouthful of blood, and Qiao Yu frowned when he saw that the blood was actually dark green.

What surprised Qiao Yu even more was that Lin Lang's stat panel automatically appeared.

[??????????]

[Level: lv25]

[Health Points: 4122/6000]

[Strength: 421]

[Defense: 235]

[Agility: 266]

[Skills: Rapid Shadow Dragon Claw, Dragon Transformation]

"So it is..."

Qiao Yu muttered to himself. In theory, a player's stat panel shouldn't appear unless they actively display it.

But at this moment, not only did Lin Lang's stat panel appear above his head, but it also had six question marks.

He had only seen this situation on Xun Dong before.

Back then, Xun Dong was a product of an NPC fusing with a Boss.

It seemed that there was also a Boss inside Lin Lang's body.

"Qiao Yu, you forced me to do this!"

Lin Lang slowly got up from the ground, his broken scales stained with blood.

"Dragon Transformation!"

Lin Lang slowly lowered himself to the ground, his limbs expanding continuously, his entire body twisting.

All of his limbs turned into thick arms, and four sharp claws pierced the ground.

"Roar!"

Lin Lang let out a low roar that sounded nothing like a human, and his entire face began to bulge outwards.

In the end, Lin Lang completely transformed into a four-clawed Jiao dragon, his stats doubling!

"You forced me to use this move, you deserve to die!"

Disgusting, clear mucus dripped slowly from the corners of Lin Lang's mouth.

His vertical pupils were filled with hatred, because he knew very well that using Dragon Transformation would cause permanent and irreversible damage to his body.

The four-clawed Jiao dragon that Lin Lang had transformed into dug into the ground with force, leaving four large pits in the ground.

His entire body shot out like an arrow. He opened his stinking mouth filled with sharp teeth and bit down on Qiao Yu's head.

He was going to bite Qiao Yu's entire head off!

Lin Lang stared intently at Qiao Yu, wanting to see fear in his eyes, but he was disappointed.

"Lin Lang, you know what?"

Qiao Yu said calmly.

"I've killed monsters like you, neither human nor ghost, back when I was still an apprentice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Swiftwind Boots activated, and Qiao Yu's body instantly appeared behind Lin Lang.

The Crescent Blade thrust forward, directly piercing the four-clawed Jiao dragon's spine, and dark green blood gushed out like a fountain.

"Ah!!!"

The dragon let out a shrill scream, its claws scrabbling at the ground, but it couldn't break free from the Crescent Blade.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could you, a normal person, become so strong!"

Lin Lang's vertical pupils were filled with horror and confusion. He had sacrificed almost everything for the power he possessed now.

Heaven knew how much pain he had endured to fuse with a disgusting Jiao dragon.

But the power he had worked so hard to obtain was as fragile as paper in front of Qiao Yu.

Unfair!

This was unfair!

Lin Lang roared furiously in his heart.
