Chapter 73 Half-human, half-snake
The force on the blade suddenly increased dramatically!
"laugh--!"
A streak of blinding sparks burst forth from between the blade and the snake scales.
Then, blood gushed out.
The python's tough scales were finally broken.
The blade sliced into the flesh, creating a cut over a foot long, deep enough to expose the bone.
"hiss--!"
The python let out a painful roar, its thick body suddenly contracting as it struggled to get away.
Ma Da's expression changed drastically. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he gathered his strength and leaped out from under the python, throwing a punch at Huang Shujian.
This punch was timed perfectly, just when Huang Shujian's old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated.
There is no way to avoid it.
"Bang!"
A shot rang out.
The bullet struck Martha's right shoulder, and blood splattered everywhere.
Ma Da staggered, and his punch suddenly dissipated.
Huang Shujian took the opportunity to step back two steps and create distance.
He looked in the direction of the gunshot.
Murong Xue had picked up the Mauser C96 pistol from the ground at some point.
She gripped the gun with both hands, her eyes resolute, the muzzle steadily pointing at Martha.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two more shots were fired.
But Ma Da had already hidden behind the python.
The bullet struck the python, sending sparks flying again, but it failed to harm it in the slightest.
Murong Xue bit her lip, moved the gun slightly, and aimed at the half of Ma Da's head that was sticking out.
"Surrender."
Ma Da hid behind the python, his face ashen.
He looked at his bleeding right hand, then at the injured python, then at Murong Xue holding the gun and Huang Shujian holding the knife.
Knowing that things are unlikely to end well today, I realize that things will not end well.
Python Brother was injured, and I was seriously injured in the right hand. The two opponents cooperated well; one was fierce with his swordsmanship and had his body protected by external martial arts, while the other was accurate with his marksmanship and was waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
By any measure, it's a desperate situation.
A hint of madness flashed in Ma Da's eyes.
He gritted his teeth and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
"You forced me to do this..."
His voice was hoarse, with an eerie tone.
"Did you really think that taking my snake bones would leave me helpless?"
He slowly straightened up, pressing his right hand against his left chest.
"After cultivating for so many years, I'm practically inseparable from Brother Python..."
"Snake bones? Heh..."
"I don't need that thing to...become one with Brother Python!"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly threw his head back and let out a roar.
That wasn't a human roar.
It sounds more like the hiss of a snake.
"hiss--!"
With that roar, Ma Da's muscles began to bulge violently.
Beneath the skin, it seemed as if countless tiny snakes were wriggling and crawling.
The veins bulged out one by one, gradually turning dark red.
The sound of surging blood and qi echoed in the room like the tide.
Murong Xue's expression changed, and she immediately pulled the trigger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three shots fired in quick succession.
But the python moved.
Ignoring its wounds, it rapidly coiled its robust body, protecting Ma Da in the center, forming an impenetrable snake formation.
The bullet struck the snake's scales, sending sparks flying, but it couldn't penetrate them.
When the python slowly moved its body, revealing the man inside...
Murong Xue's pupils suddenly contracted.
Even Huang Shujian raised his eyebrows slightly.
In the center of the room, Martha had changed drastically.
He still looked like Ma Da, but his clothes were completely torn apart, with pieces scattered all over the ground.
On the exposed skin, patches of jet-black snake scales grew.
The scales were small, only the size of a fingernail, and they covered his chest, arms, back, and even neck.
His face was still human, but his eyes had become vertical pupils, golden in color with a thin black line down the middle, cold and ruthless.
His mouth was wide open, the corners of his mouth splitting all the way to his ears, revealing his fine, sharp teeth.
A forked tongue protruded, trembling in the air.
"Hiss..."
Ma Da made a hissing sound like a snake.
He twisted his neck, making a cracking sound as his bones rubbed together.
He is no longer a purely human being.
Half-human, half-snake, ferocious and terrifying.
"What...what kind of monster is this..." Murong Xue subconsciously took a step back.
Huang Shujian did not answer. He held his liver and gallbladder in his hands, his eyes scanning Ma Da up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but more so curiosity.
Is this the extraordinary path of this world?
Human-snake fusion?
interesting.
What profession does this Matthew practice?
The next moment, Ma Da made a move.
His body suddenly went limp, as if all the bones in his body had disappeared, and he lay flat on the ground like a snake.
then.
"Whoosh—!"
He shot out like lightning, so fast that he was just a blur.
The target wasn't Huang Shujian, but Murong Xue, who was carrying a gun.
Murong Xue's expression changed drastically, and she hastily retreated, instinctively raising the Mauser pistol in her hand.
But Ma Da was too fast.
A hand covered in snake scales and with five thick fingers shot out like lightning and snatched the Mauser pistol away.
Then, the gun was turned around and aimed at Murong Xue's forehead.
Murong Xue was heartbroken.
but.
There were no gunshots.
She opened her eyes and saw Ma Da staring blankly at the Mauser pistol.
It turns out that after Ma Da became a snake-man, his fingers also turned into snakes, with five thick fingers covered in scales, making it impossible to pull the trigger guard.
"hiss!"
Ma Da let out a hoarse roar and threw the Mauser pistol aside violently.
Then, he pounced on Murong Xue again.
But at that moment...
"hiss--!"
Behind them came the python's agonizing roar.
Ma Da suddenly turned around.
The python collapsed to the ground, struggling and writhing violently, but its movements became increasingly weak.
A gash, more than a foot long, opened up on the python's soft belly.
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
The narrator, Huang Shujian, sheathed his sword, flicked his wrist, and shook off the bloodstains on the blade.
The blade is jet black and unstained with blood.
From the wound on the python's abdomen, something whole and covered in mucus slid out and fell to the floor with a "thud".
That was a little monkey.
It was soaking wet, its hair was matted together, its body was twitching, and its eyes were half-open and half-closed, so it was clear that it was not quite dead yet.
Ma Da's vertical pupils suddenly contracted.
He stared incredulously at the struggling python on the ground, then looked at Huang Shujian.
"You...how could you..."
He didn't know how Huang Shujian had managed to kill the python so quickly.
Pythons have hard scales all over their bodies, but their belly scales are sparse, making it the only soft spot.
Huang Shujian's previous series of attacks, though seemingly chaotic, were actually all probing.
It wasn't until just now, with another Black Tiger Mountain Patrol Slash, that the python was truly forced to reveal a weakness.
Then, a single, decisive blow.
Huang Shujian turned around and looked at Ma Da.
His expression was calm, even tinged with disappointment.
"Your brother, Martha, disappointed me greatly, so he died."
The first move is to speak frankly and directly to Ma Da.
"I hope you won't let me down."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Shujian lifted his right foot and stepped onto the half of the table next to him.
He leaped into the air, like a white crane spreading its wings, and swiftly and lightly pounced on Ma Da.
A chill ran through Ma Da's heart.
In that instant, he felt as if he had been targeted by a natural enemy.
That was fear ingrained in their blood.
But now he has transformed into a snake, and his strength, speed, and reaction time are far greater than before.
Fear was fleeting, quickly replaced by madness.
"hiss!"
He let out a hiss, twisted his body, and slithered along the floor towards Huang Shujian like a snake.
The human and the snake-man fought fiercely once again in the cramped room.
