"If you want to be free, you'll have to sink the boat even if the cauldron is broken …" The reluctance and hesitation in his heart flashed past in a flash. Feeling something in his heart, he fabricated a Chinese poem with a rather ancient charm. Then, he began to chant the ancient incantation 'pst shh …' and calmed his mind down completely before turning his gaze to the wyrmdragon entrenched on the carpet.
It had a snake's body, beast's legs, eagle's claws, and a horse's head. Its eight-meter-long body was densely covered with fist-sized, water-droplet-shaped dark green scales. Its body was slender and beautiful, and its face was ferocious and majestic.
Looking at this dragon wizard gu that had been representing the Chinese bloodline totem since ancient times for tens of thousands of years, the young man had a strange feeling that made him inexplicably recite, "The dragon soars in the wild, its blood is dark yellow …" Then, he closed his eyes and began to exhale mouthfuls of air from his abdomen.
At this time, the originally clear sky outside the window suddenly darkened. Dark clouds rolled endlessly and gathered more and more.
In the living room with a wide view of the villa, one could overlook the entire mountain forest that was still exuding a dense emerald green color even in late autumn. After taking a short break and drinking a glass of freshly squeezed juice rich in vitamins to replenish her physical strength, Guo Caiying, who felt that her energy had already recovered, had already planned to leave. However, when she saw the dark clouds suddenly gathering outside the window, a troubled look crept upon her face.
"Miss Guo, the weather in Stanford's late autumn is so unpredictable. There are already rain clouds in the sky, so it would be terrible if you encounter a downpour on the way.
It's not too late to stay and wait for the rain to stop after dinner. What do you think? " A steady middle-aged man wearing a tuxedo and a black bow tie, who spoke politely and had a pleasant British accent, was keenly aware of the hesitation in the girl's expression. Thus, he persuaded her unhurriedly.
"Oh, alright, Mr. Torres." Guo Caiying stared at the weather that was getting worse outside the window and sighed helplessly. "I'll stay a little longer until the rain stops, but I can't just drink juice to kill a few hours, can I?"
"You're the distinguished guest brought by Sir. As the butler of the mansion, I'll do my best to make you have a pleasant afternoon," the middle-aged man said with a smile. "How about watching a movie that's synchronized with the premiere? Even though the venue is a private cinema with only 50 seats, the equipment is incomparable to the best public cinema."
"There's even a private cinema in this house. Ha, how luxurious." The girl was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "Sounds good, but I don't want to watch a movie that has a world premiere. I haven't seen 'The World's Iron Warrior' that was released the day before yesterday. Can I watch that movie?"
"Of course you can. As long as you can name it, you can choose whatever you want. Please follow me." The butler in Zhang Lisheng's villa said and guided Guo Caiying, who had become a little happier, to the side door of the living room. At this time, Zhang Lisheng, who had already expelled all the air out of his body, opened his eyes and drew the image of the demon in his mind according to the secret cultivation method before taking a deep breath.
Just like the previous two times when he transformed the wizard gu and made a breakthrough in witchcraft, as the young man let out a slight inhaling sound, the space around the wyrmdragon in front of him became blurred and distorted. Then, a gust of yellow smoke silently drifted out of the surface of the wizard gu's body and floated into Zhang Lisheng's mouth and nose.
According to his previous experience, when the smoke entered his mouth, it should be filled with an unbearable strange smell that filled his mouth, nose, trachea, and even esophagus, testing Zhang Lisheng's tenacious will. However, when the yellow smoke entered his body this time, it caused the blood in his body to explode abruptly, turning his entire body into a bloody rag in an instant.
At the same time, the Demon's illusion that the young man had just sketched in his mind, the several dozens of ancient strange insects that were crawling on the back of the illusion, along with the Money Toad and the nine-tailed lizard that seemed to be ready to automatically evolve, were all crushed into pieces by an invisible force.
Then, the bones in Zhang Lisheng's entire body were crushed, turning into a mass of flesh that collapsed on the ground. In his mind that was only left with endless darkness, a huge bolt of lightning that pierced through the chaos and connected heaven and earth suddenly lit up. Then, countless falling stars that were burning with blazing fire crashed into the ground in the pouring rain, splashing up dust all over the sky.
Watching as everything in the world was destroyed in the fusion of water and fire, he did not expect that a giant dragon would suddenly roar and soar into the sky in this doomsday disaster scene. Right at this moment, Zhang Lisheng's tattered body seemed to no longer be able to provide nutrients for his brain to continue to imagine. The strange image in his mind gradually stagnated and disappeared, while the only complete head gradually showed signs of cracking.
Just as the young man was dying, the jelly gem tied on his wrist once again emitted a seven-colored brilliance and began to extend from his arm. Not long after, it wrapped all of his rotten flesh. Then, the jelly petrified long bundle continued to wriggle gently, changing its shape at a speed that was not visible to the naked eye.
Time passed by, and the heavy rain outside the villa became heavier and heavier.
"Rumble …" The sound of thunder continued to fall on the mountain, igniting countless thunder and fire. Fortunately, it was extinguished by the rapid rain in the blink of an eye.
"God bless Lisa! I've lived in Stanford City for almost 40 years, and I've never seen such terrible weather before! This is just like the end of the world!" A fat maid looked through the floor-to-ceiling window at the rolling black clouds that seemed to have pressed down on the top of the trees in the forest and struck down lightning. She drew a cross in front of her chest in horror as she whispered to her companion.
"Merlin, it's n-alright. This is just a bad extreme weather. If you've lived by the sea before, you'll know that this kind of rain is just a piece of cake during a typhoon …" When her companion heard the fat maid's terrified voice, she comforted her in a whisper. However, her slightly trembling and stuttering tone could only achieve the opposite effect.
Two hours slowly passed by in horror. In the master bedroom of the villa, the jelly gem that wrapped Zhang Lisheng's body did not fade like before and turn back into a seven-colored rope. Instead, it seemed to gradually lose its elasticity and became a layer of five-colored hard shell.
The thunderstorm outside the window was still raging, but the room with excellent soundproofing was dead silent. All of a sudden, a soft 'pop' sound broke the silence. The top of the hard shell transformed by the jelly gem gently broke open, and a head that was full of cracks emerged from the small cloud of five-colored dust that floated up from the crack.
Only the eyes, nose, and mouth of the head were still there. The other organs on the face were filled with holes. Judging from the incomplete face, it looked exactly the same as Zhang Lisheng. However, its empty eyes and dark skin gave off a feeling that it did not look like a human being at first glance.
After it crawled out of the hard shell, its head, which was also like rotten wood, slowly stood upright on the carpet in the villa's master bedroom under the light of the lightning flashing and thunder roaring outside the window, which was also moving its neck and body, which was also like rotten wood.
The long hair that looked like weeds hung down and fell on the cracked and shriveled shoulders. The two eyes on the head, one black and one white, stared straight at the wall in the room that was constantly alternating between light and darkness in the lightning, revealing an endless confused and desolate expression.
A sky full of fire rain kept flashing in his mind.
A huge snake shadow that soared straight up to the sky and covered the sun.
On the ground, there were countless black-haired ancestors wearing animal skins who were shouting the word 'Wa' and worshipping the snake shadow. The head became silent for a long time before suddenly murmuring in a flat tone, "So it's not 'Hua' but 'Wa'.
It's not a dragon but a snake. It's a snake with a human head and a snake body … "
After saying the last five words, the body of the head trembled, completely shattering the jelly gem that was wrapped around its body into five-colored dust that filled the air, revealing the dry and withered body of a long snake. It was the head of a human and the body of a snake.
After revealing its entire body, the monster seemed to inadvertently take a gentle breath.
In just this half a breath, in an instant, the giant wyrmdragon that was entrenched by the side transformed into a large cloud of yellow mist, like a clay sculpture that was swept into the dragon's eye by the storm, before being sucked into its mouth and nose without leaving a single bit.
"No, no.
It's still early, still early … "After inhaling the mist transformed by the wizard gu, the human-headed snake body monster's head that seemed like it would shatter in the next second shook gently as it chanted.
Then, the layer of tattered skin and flesh on the surface of his body slowly peeled off automatically and transformed into a shadow that disappeared without a trace, leaving only Zhang Lisheng standing there naked with a blank look in his eyes.
Not knowing how much time had passed, the clouds and rain outside the window began to gradually dissipate. The young man's motionless eyeballs suddenly turned and his entire body shuddered as he woke up right away.
His memory seemed to still be stuck at the moment when he exhaled all the breath in his body and began to transform the wizard gu. Shaking his head, he muttered, "I fainted! I must have fainted again.
Last time, I only succeeded after trying to transform the lizard eight to nine times. I'm afraid it'll be even more difficult this time. It's fortunate that the lake outside looks big enough, the fishes and prawns … "Looking at the wyrmdragon beside him, he choked on the empty carpet.
After being stunned for a while, Zhang Lisheng anxiously commanded the wizard gu with his mind. When he realized that he still could not sense anything, despair began to rise in his heart.
"Don't tell me that the wizard gu will disappear just because I failed to transform once?
T-This is too harsh! Even in ancient times, I'm afraid it's rare to see a dragon wizard gu that can be refined. Witchcraft is indeed difficult, b-but … "While he was speaking distractedly, he suddenly realized that the wizard power in his body was deep and restrained when he was in an emotional state. It was no longer as restless as it was just now.
A thought suddenly flashed across his mind. The young man tried to transform using the wyrmdragon's power in his mind. In an instant, his mouth and nose protruded and his ears turned into antlers. Countless green scales appeared on his body and his palms became dry and bony, making him look like an eagle.
"Dominate the water to control the clouds, soar in the sky to control the air …" Sensing the ten hieroglyphic ancient words that symbolized the omniscient power of the wyrmdragon's transformation appearing in his mind, Zhang Lisheng said with a dumbstruck expression, "I've succeeded in transforming in just one try! And I didn't even suffer any pain at all! How lucky am I?!"
