"Human ants, how could you possibly find me?"

"You even carry the aura of the Golden Condor. It seems the Golden Condor died by your hands."

With a soft snort, from tens of thousands of miles away, boundless waves surged, and from the filthy swamp, a thousand-zhang Azure Snake leaped out. Its bloodthirsty fangs flashed with cold light as it continuously flicked its forked tongue towards Lin Changqing.

"Not as good as you, fellow Daoist, using a wolf to swallow a tiger, killing with a borrowed knife, and reaping the benefits."

Lin Changqing looked at the thousand-zhang Azure Snake and snorted softly.

However, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and wisps of killing intent surged.

No wonder the memories he received indicated such a coincidental appearance of this Dragon Clan secret realm.

Now that this giant demon snake had appeared, he understood.

Was the Dragon Clan secret realm something that could be easily unearthed?

It was merely a great demon, the Golden Condor, being used by this snake demon to hunt dragons and bring them to this place.

"Hahaha! Indeed, human ant. I must admit, you have some insight. For the two of you to have killed the Golden Condor, you must have relied on others."

"Come out, fellow Daoist. Whether you are from the Dragon Clan or someone else, the opportunity is before you, why hide?"

"This humble one is Green Vine, the master of the ten trillion miles of swamp. Since you have arrived on my territory, fellow Daoist, why not show yourself?"

The Azure Snake laughed heartily twice. Its thousand-zhang serpentine body rapidly transformed, and with a flash of mystic light, it turned into a refined scholar in a green robe.

Humans, with their Innate Dao Body, resembled the physical form of Pangu. When Primordial World beings took form, they all appeared this way.

This did not surprise Lin Changqing. However, this Green Vine actually possessed the strength of a mid-stage Golden Immortal.

He glanced at Ao Ying beside him. Her expression was solemn, and she slowly nodded.

It seemed this Azure Snake also had Dragon Clan bloodline.

Unfortunately, the Dragon Clan was currently weak. These demons with Dragon Clan bloodline were not thinking of submission and service, but of devouring and evolving.

Using a wolf to swallow a tiger, this Azure Snake's target was likely Ao Ying.

However, at this moment, it was clearly intimidated by the two of them. The great demon Golden Condor was by no means something a nascent stage Golden Immortal Dragon Clan member and a Mystic Immortal human could kill.

If it weren't for the potential powerful being behind them, this Green Vine would have already made a move.

"No need to call out. There's no one else here. That little chick wasn't killed by anyone else; I killed it."

Lin Changqing looked at Green Vine and snorted.

The latter cast an even more contemptuous glance at Lin Changqing.

A Mystic Immortal human, speaking so boastfully, and claiming to have killed a mid-stage Golden Immortal like the Golden Condor?

Hmph! The frail abilities of the human race, at the same level, they were probably completely crushed. Moreover, the strongest humans at this moment were still just ants.

"Ant, you are probably the strongest existence among humans."

"You dare to boast so much now. If not for the fellow Daoist behind you, you would have died long ago!"

"You don't want to come out? Hmph! If you want to reap the benefits of a fisherman, you can try!"

Green Vine snorted coldly, transforming back into its thousand-zhang form. It stirred the entire swamp's mud and charged towards Lin Changqing and the other.

"First, I'll kill these two, then see if you'll come out!!"

In an instant, amidst the myriad of mud, a divine green light shot out. The Azure Snake's forked tongue transformed into a giant sword dozens of meters long, piercing towards Lin Changqing and the other.

"Die!!"

"Dragon Clan bloodline, I will devour you, and I can still open this secret realm!!"

Green Vine roared, and the green sword light cut through the mud, shattering the countless sand dunes within the swamp, rising with boundless dark green poisonous mist that surged towards the two.

"Roar!!"

Lin Changqing and the other were naturally not people to wait for death. They exchanged a glance, and Ao Ying suddenly transformed into a thousand-zhang Azure Dragon, roaring.

The dragon's roar scattered the surging waves, and countless clouds and mists churned around them. Amidst lightning and thunder, they dispersed the myriad poisonous mists.

"Green Vine, I am the Dragon Girl of the East Sea, how dare you!!"

"Hahaha! Dragon Clan? Just a joke in the Primordial World. Does that old dragon Ao Guang dare to leave the East Sea?"

"Hmph! For tens of millions of years, they've ignored those with Dragon Clan bloodline. Now, I am one of the Demon Clan. Killing you will be enough to enhance my bloodline. Once I reach Grand Unity Golden Immortal, I can reside in the Nine Heavens Immortal Court!"

Green Vine roared again, and the long sword arrived in an instant, shattering the countless thunderclouds around Ao Ying.

Ao Ying roared again, waving her dragon claws down. With a flash of dark light, she directly swatted the long sword away.

However, the myriad poisonous mists had already infiltrated, clinging to Ao Ying's body, corroding her dragon scales and flesh with a sizzling sound.

"Hmph! A mere mid-stage Golden Immortal dares to fight me, die!!"

Green Vine sneered as its body, even larger than the Azure Dragon, pressed down towards Ao Ying. Its blood-red maw, flashing with dark light, opened, and two poisonous fangs, clearly visible, bit down towards Ao Ying.

At this moment, a bloody dark light flashed and disappeared like an aurora. The two poisonous fangs, glowing with dark light, instantly detached and shattered into pieces.

"Roar!!!"

A furious roar erupted from Green Vine's mouth, its thousand-zhang serpentine body churning and stirring the surrounding mud.

This is the Green Vine's stronghold. Lin Changqing had agreed with Ao Ying early on that Ao Ying would make the first move to kill this green snake.

At that time, the Green Vine would underestimate them and certainly wouldn't pay attention to him. No one would know that he was the powerful being who killed the Golden Condor!

Behind him, blood-red wings flapped, and the surrounding scenery blurred as it rushed backward.

In his hand, a long spear shimmered with divine patterns, an boundless sharpness flowing along it.

Blood-red scales encased his body, transforming into armor that protected him.

The Green Vine's venomous fangs were no different from the Golden Condor's beak, incredibly hard and filled with Golden Immortal toxins.

But before the Spear of Divine Demons, they were still like clay chickens and pottery dogs, shattering on contact.

Lin Changqing let out a cold laugh.

Underestimating me? A human ant?

Now, you wanted to bite me, this human ant, to death, but you shattered your own teeth. Let's see who's stronger now!

"Damn it!! You're that human! How is this possible? A Mystic Immortal human, how can you have such powerful strength!"

"Impossible! It's that spear, what kind of treasure is that, to be so powerful!"

"Human, you've angered me, you deserve to die, die!!"

At this moment, the Green Vine, enraged by the shattering of its venomous fangs, opened its ravenous maw and lunged to swallow Lin Changqing whole.

A bloody stench shot through the heavens and earth, enveloping Lin Changqing. Countless dark green poisonous mists also surged, like rolling waves, completely engulfing him.

Sizzle...

The blood-red scales were constantly corroded, yet they rapidly regenerated. Lin Changqing frowned.

If this continued, his energy would be depleted too quickly.

The blood-red scales required constant replenishment of power, and the Divine Demon Wings on his back were also a major drain.

He had to end this quickly!

Perfect, this Green Vine has lost its mind, I'll kill it!

"Roar!!"

But just as the Green Vine lunged at Lin Changqing, and the moment Lin Changqing thrust his spear, the thousand-zhang green snake suddenly vanished from sight.

Within the swamp, waves churned. The Green Vine had directly submerged itself into the swamp.

"Hahaha! Human, you want to kill me?"

"With just the two of you, you're dreaming?"

"It seems the Golden Condor did indeed perish by your hand, but I'm not some brainless fool. You two will be swallowed by my boundless poisonous mist!"

Lin Changqing frowned. As expected, it was troublesome.

This great demon who schemed against the Golden Condor, driving wolves to attack tigers and using others to kill, was certainly not as impulsive as the Golden Condor.

However, he hadn't come unprepared.

"Roar!! What is this, damn it, how could this be!!"

"Human, you actually set up a contingency here!!"
