183 Opportunism
Wang Mang was stunned. The system was asking him to fight!
He had never fought with a creature in the sea thus far, as they were all too powerful for him. From the looks of things, this fact had not changed.
However, he did not jump to conclusions and, when he got closer, he used his information detection technique.
[Target: Megalodon Shark King]
!!
[Physique: 66 meters long, 6 meters wide, 180 tons]
[Cultivation: 4,500 years]
[Level: Demon King]
[Divine powers: Metal Grinder, Waterspout, Tornado, Wishful Shrinking.]
[Danger Level: High]
…
[Target: Deep Sea Python King]
[Physique: 96 meters long, 8 meters wide, 90 tons.]
[Cultivation: 4,500 years]
[Level: Demon King]
[Divine powers: Toughness, Death Entanglement, Power of the Sea, Wishful Shrinking, Waterspout.]
…
After seeing this, Wang Mang heaved a sigh of relief.
These two creatures’ cultivation levels indeed surpassed his, but not by a crazy margin, and were nowhere as powerful as the Blue Whale King or the Sea Dragon King.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf they had been, he would have immediately turned tail and ran.
In any case, he used to be a Deep Sea Python himself before he replaced his template, so he understood its strength.
The thing that puzzled him was that he had only managed to grow to 60 meters long as a Deep Sea Python, so how did this guy get so big?
Confused, he asked, “System, how did this guy grow so big?”
[The Deep Sea Python clan possesses exclusive heavenly treasures!]
Wang Mang smiled bitterly.
So that was how it was!
This Deep Sea Python King relied on his clan, but Wang Mang only had himself.
Oh, and the system of course.
After pondering the matter for some time, he made up his mind.
“System, I choose Mission 4!”
[Ding! Host has successfully selected the mission option. Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]
Wang Mang quietly swam around and circled the area.
His plan was to wait until these two fellows were almost done fighting.
After that, he would make a move and clean them up!
In the meantime, he would watch the show. It was like watching a movie fight scene, and Wang Mang wished he had some popcorn and soda.
This Deep Sea Python’s combat strength was truly ferocious, and it managed to go toe-to-toe with the Megalodon Shark King without being at a disadvantage.
It might lose out to the latter in terms of pure brute strength, but it was more agile, and they were thus evenly matched.
However, Wang Mang knew that the deadlock would not last forever, and thus waited patiently…
For two whole days!
F*ck!
Fight scenes were supposed to be epic and climactic, not long and drawn out!
He had actually dozed off a few times.
Fortunately, the battle situation finally changed.
Throughout the fight, the Megalodon Shark King’s body was covered in wounds from the Deep Sea Python King’s bites.
On the other hand, the Deep Sea Python King relied on its nimble body and had remained relatively unscathed, until now…
It had become complacent after sensing that it held the advantage, and a moment of carelessness was all it took for the Megalodon Shark King to capitalize on its weakness.
The Megalodon Shark King attacked and the Deep Sea Python King brushed past its attack as usual.
Suddenly!
The Megalodon Shark King turned around abruptly and bit the Deep Sea Python King with its powerful jaws!
Wang Mang grew excited at this sight.
The Deep Sea Python King had finally messed up!
If he had waited any longer, Wang Mang would have lost his patience and simply attacked to try and end this debacle.
The Deep Sea Python was infuriated after being bitten, and began to struggle madly from the pain.
At the same time, it began to wrap its huge body around the Megalodon Shark King.
Unfortunately, no matter what the Deep Sea Python King did, the Megalodon Shark King had no intention of letting go.
...
In an instant, the two massive creatures were intertwined in a death dance.
One of them refused to let go!
One of them refused to give up!
It was finally getting exciting, and Wang Mang had placed his bets on the Megalodon Shark King to prevail!
This was because the Deep Sea Python King did not have Wang Mang’s corrosive poison! If it had been Wang Mang fighting instead, the Megalodon Shark King would have died long ago after being bitten so many times!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, the panicking Deep Sea Python King failed to extricate itself again. In desperation, it tried to bite the Megalodon Shark King’s head, but it was a trap!
The Megalodon Shark King finally released its hold on the Deep Sea Python King, and bit its head instead.
It was the finishing blow.
Now, no matter how much the Deep Sea Python King struggled, its fate was sealed. Even so, it did not give up, and tried to squeeze the Megalodon Shark King to death.
However, the latter shrugged it off and swung the Deep Sea Python King around using its head.
A few hours later, the Deep Sea Python King finally stopped moving completely.
...
This was the signal!
It was now Wang Mang’s turn!
Thus, Wang Mang’s miniature form swam rapidly toward the Megalodon Shark King.
Seeing the tiny snake approach, the Megalodon Shark King was unbothered, and was about to enjoy the fruits of its victory.
However, the moment Wang Mang swam past the Megalodon Shark King, he quickly transformed into his true form, turned around, and bit the Megalodon Shark King’s head.
It had all happened in an instant!
Furthermore, Wang Mang began to wrap his body around the Megalodon Shark King.
The Megalodon Shark King was completely caught off-guard.
Flustered, it looked at the massive snake that was coiled around its body in fury, and began to thrash about.
This f*cking snake was so shameless!
It belatedly realized that Wang Mang had been waiting for this opportunity the entire time. It had sensed Wang Mang’s presence much earlier, but had taken him to be a sentient snake who was there simply to watch the fight.
Instead, it turned out to be a sneak attack!
Where were its morals?
Did it not have self-respect or virtue as a demon king?
F*cking landlubber!
