CHAPTER 1475: CHAPTER 1475: MYTHICAL MONSTERS! FIRST UPDATE

The Yamata no Orochi is a creature from Japanese mythology, and surprisingly, it actually exists in reality and has even teamed up with the Sovereign.

This left Satan and the Blood Ancestor a bit confused.

However, Satan briefly explained the origins of Yamata no Orochi, and only then did Ye Qiu understand that it was a totem of Japan, and even today, many temples in Japan still worship the image of Yamata no Orochi.

"It’s just a big worm, cut it down!" Ye Qiu was dismissive of the Yamata no Orochi, especially since this colossal creature was a sacred entity of Japan, he was even more inclined to cut it down, as he couldn’t resist taking action whenever he thought of that nation.

How could he allow Japan’s totem to come back to life, aid the Sovereign, and commit misdeeds?

"Young Master Ye, this Yamata no Orochi is comparable to your Chinese Divine Dragon, not to be underestimated." Satan expressed a bit of trepidation about the presence of Yamata no Orochi, not as relaxed as Ye Qiu appeared.

Ye Qiu sneered, the idea of Yamata no Orochi being on par with the Divine Dragon is simply laughable; if it were true, the Earthly Laws would have conjured up Yamata no Orochi instead of the Divine Dragon.

"It’s absurd for the totem of that tiny country to compare with our Chinese totem. Our China is vast and rich in resources, with a long history, how could Japan ever compare?" Ye Qiu said disdainfully, thinking deep down that aside from being a descendant of the Du Gu clan, he was also a member of China. In his view, if Yamata no Orochi could compare to the Chinese dragon, it would be an insult to the dragon’s existence.

"You’ll soon know who is strong and who is weak." The voice of the Sovereign sounded faintly.

Turning his voice, the Sovereign gently said to the Yamata no Orochi, "Someone is underestimating you, saying you’re inferior to their Divine Dragon. Shouldn’t you show them something to look at?"

The Yamata no Orochi was sentient and understood the Sovereign’s words. Its gaze shifted directly onto Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu said to Satan and the Blood Ancestor, "You two take care of that fake deity, I’ll handle this big snake."

In a flash, Ye Qiu appeared in the sky like an arrow, confronting the Yamata no Orochi.

Hiss...

The Yamata no Orochi roared at Ye Qiu, seemingly very angry at Ye Qiu’s disdain. The Yamata no Orochi was massive, with Ye Qiu standing dozens of meters in the air, and the Yamata no Orochi stood straight at the same height as Ye Qiu, with its tail completely hidden beneath the sea, making it impossible to imagine how gigantic it truly was.

Faced with the roar of the Yamata no Orochi, and the stench emanating from its mouth, Ye Qiu rubbed his nose with disapproval, saying, "Your breath stinks; have you never brushed your teeth since you were born?"

Yamata no Orochi: "????"

Ye Qiu shook his head and continued, "Never mind, you’re a monster anyway, what would you know about brushing teeth? But today you’ve met me, so I’ll help you brush. Remember, next time when talking to others, don’t open your mouth wide; it’s quite smelly."

The Yamata no Orochi didn’t understand what Ye Qiu was saying, but from Ye Qiu’s eyes, it could vaguely guess that it was nothing good.

The massive snake head spat out a gust of wind, causing Ye Qiu’s hair to fly, clearly showing that the Yamata no Orochi was angry.

Ye Qiu lifted the Bahuang Sword in his hand, which emitted a clang, and said coolly, "A single mouth is already stinky enough, but you have eight mouths. Trying to stink someone to death?"

With those words, Ye Qiu stepped across the void and appeared in front of the Yamata no Orochi in an instant, delivering a direct slash.

This sword was like a flower, the speed of the Bahuang Sword in his hand was so fast that it formed a sword flower in the air.

Whoosh...

The sword flower landed on the head of the Yamata no Orochi, as if it was rubbing against steel, sparks flying, hissing and sparking.

Huh?

Ye Qiu was slightly surprised; he hadn’t expected that this sword wouldn’t cut off another snake head.

Immediately, Ye Qiu struck two more consecutive swords, which also seemed like flowers on the sea rather than stirring up hundred-feet-tall waves.

Ye Qiu frowned; was the skin of the Yamata no Orochi that tough?

Wait... Ye Qiu suddenly remembered, when he previously severed the head of the Yamata no Orochi, it was because the blade was in direct contact with it that he could manage to sever the head.

Having realized the key point, Ye Qiu smiled: "So that’s it."

When he launched another attack, he directly used the blade to settle the score.

Sure enough, abandoning flashy attacks and using the blade to touch the opponent caused the most effective damage.

Swish...

A sword flashed by, and the body of the Yamata no Orochi bled, proving effective. Although the wound healed swiftly, it still had an impact.

"The Bahuang Sword is too sharp. I deliberately used swordsmanship before, but it seems unnecessary. Against this kind of opponent, the simplest and most direct means are the most effective. Anything else is just putting the cart before the horse." Ye Qiu chuckled bitterly to himself, his gaze returning to calm. Now that he had found an effective method, he had a way to deal with the Yamata no Orochi.

But there was no denying that the Yamata no Orochi’s hide was extremely tough; ordinary attacks had no effect on it at all. Its skin’s defensive capability was incredibly strong, especially the scales on its body, which were like a natural divine armor.

Fortunately, he had the Bahuang Sword in hand, capable of effectively harming this long snake.

Satan and the Blood Ancestor, seeing that Ye Qiu had already made a cut on the Yamata no Orochi with just a few moves, exchanged a look, realizing Ye Qiu’s attack was indeed sharp.

"Let’s take down that fake deity together." The two said in unison.

Instantly, the two rushed toward the Sovereign, who grunted, "Join forces against me? It’s not that easy."

Swish swish swish...

Satan and the Blood Ancestor unleashed their powerful attacks, transforming into two enormous currents, surging toward the Sovereign.

The Sovereign’s lips curled into a smile, and just as the two were about to reach him, suddenly, a shadow emerged from the water surface.

In the distance, the fallen female Angel Gui Er and Armand both had a sudden contraction in their pupils, both shouting loudly.

"Ancestor, be careful."

"King, danger!"

Their warnings came too late; Satan and the Blood Ancestor were instantly blocked by that shadow, feeling an immense pressure coming at them, yet unwilling to give up, they continued to charge forward.

Only to hear two bangs.

Satan and the Blood Ancestor each turned into streaks and were knocked flying by that shadow.

After retracting over a hundred meters, the two returned after taking a breath.

Satan and the Blood Ancestor both wore grim expressions; their first strike hadn’t even reached the Sovereign before being knocked away. They stared intently at the culprit blocking them.

A thin, pointed object swayed over the water like a gigantic pillar, occasionally causing splashes.

"We were knocked away by that thing?" the Blood Ancestor looked at Satan, who nodded, both tracing the dark pillar only to discover that it was not a pillar at all but the tail of the Yamata no Orochi.

This Yamata no Orochi, while engaged with Ye Qiu, could still find the time to deal with the two of them, and it was using its tail.

"It’s watching us," the Blood Ancestor reminded.

Satan noticed, above, one of the eight snakeheads was glaring down at them, forbidding them from harming the Sovereign.

The one battling Ye Qiu was just one of the snakeheads after all.
