Chapter 103: Great Battle Against the Yamata no Orochi

The three people walking into the cave, because of the unknown terror ahead, stepped with caution and moved slowly forward through the cave.

This cave was not very large, and soon the three of them reached the end.

At the end, the three of them also saw the source of the terrifying, bloody stench.

They saw a giant snake with eight heads and eight tails, eyes as bright red as "physalis," and a back covered in moss and trees, flicking its tongue as it looked at the three of them.

Duan Fengyun spoke up:

"Eight heads and eight tails, this must be the Yamata no Orochi that Senior Wuming spoke of!"

At this moment, Duan Fengyun's spine emitted a sensation hotter than at any time before.

Duan Fengyun finally understood that it was not some treasure making the Dragon Vein burn, but the Yamata no Orochi in front of him.

Divine beasts have spirits; when the Dragon Vein, which is the lifeblood of the Shenzhou land, sensed the guardian beast of Dongying, it produced a sense of repulsion.

And the Yamata no Orochi, seeing Duan Fengyun, also understood that the thing making it excited must be on this human.

Duan Fengyun grabbed Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun and said while running:

"Brother Feng, Brother Yun, let's run!"

The three of them spread their legs, preparing to escape, but since the duck was already in its mouth, how could the Yamata no Orochi watch the duck fly away?

The Yamata no Orochi, huge in body yet unusually agile, crawled directly in front of the three.

With blood-red eyes and a giant tongue flicking in its mouth, the Yamata no Orochi looked at the prey before it, opened its bloody maw, and eight snake mouths bit toward the three.

Seeing their path blocked by the Yamata no Orochi, the three knew that if they did not resolve the Yamata no Orochi, they would not be able to leave today.

The three of them leaped, dodging the Yamata no Orochi's attack.

Immediately, the three each chose one of the Yamata no Orochi's heads and jumped directly onto them.

The three slashed fiercely at the snake heads with their weapons, but the Yamata no Orochi's skin was like steel; sparks flew everywhere, yet it caused no damage to the Yamata no Orochi.

The remaining five heads of the Yamata no Orochi bit toward the three, who moved back and forth between the eight snake heads to dodge.

The Yamata no Orochi could now be considered one of the most difficult opponents the three had ever faced; when they attacked one head, the others would bite at them.

Adhering to the practical truth that "to kill a snake, strike at its seven-inch mark," the eyes of the three looked simultaneously at the junction of the Yamata no Orochi's eight tails.

Duan Fengyun shouted to the two of them:

"Brother Feng, Brother Yun, I will attract the Yamata no Orochi's attention, you two take the opportunity to attack the Yamata no Orochi's seven-inch mark."

"Brother Duan, be careful."

The two of them cautioned.

Immediately, Duan Fengyun flew into the air between the several snake heads, holding the Jue Sword to provoke the Yamata no Orochi.

Duan Fengyun was already the Yamata no Orochi's target, and with such provocative behavior, he directly enraged the Yamata no Orochi.

The Yamata no Orochi now only wanted to swallow this fellow who carried the Dragon Vein into its stomach, allowing itself to evolve.

Its eight heads bit toward Duan Fengyun collectively; Duan Fengyun took a leap and jumped directly onto the head of the middle snake.

The eight snake heads were unable to dodge in time and collided directly with each other.

Due to the excessive force, the terrifying impact made the Yamata no Orochi see stars.

Seeing this, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun knew the opportunity had arrived; the two took their weapons and simultaneously unleashed their strongest techniques, attacking the Yamata no Orochi's seven-inch mark.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The attacks of Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng were effective; the Yamata no Orochi let out a painful cry.

The seven-inch mark of the Yamata no Orochi was a bloody mess; indeed, the practices of the ancients were reasonable—striking a snake at its seven-inch mark is never wrong!

The Yamata no Orochi's eight pairs of blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.

It no longer cared about the Dragon Vein or evolution; it only wanted to swallow these two humans who had wounded it and crush them to pieces.

Its eight heads split up, biting toward the two of them respectively.

But this time it had learned to be clever; it raised all eight tails, hiding its seven-inch mark.

Relying on the footwork of the Wind God Leg, Nie Feng easily dodged the Yamata no Orochi's attacks.

But Bu Jingyun was in a miserable state.

His lightness skill was the worst among them, and he could only dodge the Yamata no Orochi's attacks for a while.

But gradually he could no longer hold on; since he couldn't outrun it, he decided to go head-to-head, slashing fiercely at the Yamata no Orochi's head with the Peerless Sword, but the result was the same as before—completely useless.

Just as the Yamata no Orochi was about to bite Bu Jingyun, Duan Fengyun dove and saved Bu Jingyun.

The Yamata no Orochi's hopeful, massive bite missed its target.

These humans were too cunning; it had to use its ultimate move.

The Yamata no Orochi's scarlet eyes slowly turned cyan-green, and then the eight heads surrounded Duan Fengyun and the others.

When Duan Fengyun saw the Yamata no Orochi's eyes, he gradually lost his focus; just as he was about to sink into it, the burning sensation in his spine pulled him back.

Duan Fengyun understood that this must be the terrifying aspect of the Yamata no Orochi that Wuming spoke of—bewitching the human heart!

He forced himself not to look at the Yamata no Orochi's eyes and hurriedly looked toward Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.

Fortunately, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were constantly moving and had not seen the Yamata no Orochi's eyes.

He spoke up to warn them:

"Brother Feng, Brother Yun, don't look at the Yamata no Orochi's eyes!

Its eyes, just as Senior Wuming said, have the power to bewitch the human heart."

Having received the warning, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun lowered their heads and closed their eyes, refusing to look at the Yamata no Orochi's eyes.

Because of the existence of the Dragon Vein, the Yamata no Orochi's bewitchment had no effect on Duan Fengyun.

Because Nie Feng had once been blind, he knew how to sense his surroundings without sight, so he was able to dodge the Yamata no Orochi's attacks without discrimination.

Bu Jingyun, however, was miserable; his lightness skill was poor, and he was not suited for fighting with his eyes closed, so he was beaten back continuously by the Yamata no Orochi.

Seeing this, Nie Feng directly used the Snow Drink Saber to unleash the Cold Pride Six Decisions, freezing the area around the three of them.

The Eight-Branched Giant Snake was briefly restricted in its movements, and the three of them rushed toward the Eight-Branched Giant Snake's vital spot with a tacit understanding.

The three of them used all their strength to pour all their True Qi into their weapons, then slashed explosively at the Eight-Branched Giant Snake's vital spot.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The sensation of intense pain broke the Eight-Branched Giant Snake free from the ice seal; it looked at its vital spot, then extended its snake tongue to wipe the wound.

As the Eight-Branched Giant Snake licked and licked, its eight tails fell off right from the root at the vital spot.

Just now, under the all-out strike of Duan Fengyun and the other two, the Eight-Branched Giant Snake's tails had actually been severed from its body.

Having suffered such massive injury, the Eight-Branched Giant Snake was enraged; never since its birth had it endured such pain.

It wanted to bite the three people before it to pieces alive.

Duan Fengyun and the other two had not expected the Eight-Branched Giant Snake to survive after suffering such a grievous injury; it seemed the coming battle would be even more intense.
