406: Yamata no Orochi?
The Telepathic Talisman was quickly connected.
Sect Leader Huangfu Feng rapidly recounted, "Qin An King, the Demonic Sect needs your help this time.
When we explored the Space Secret Realm we mentioned this morning, we encountered a powerful Yamata no Orochi.
Our Martial Uncle-Grandmaster is currently being chased by the great snake and is flying towards your Hope City.
We hope Qin An King you can provide assistance, otherwise, I fear an accident might occur."
Qin Shilei's expression darkened, and he snorted coldly, "Hmph, I'm afraid your intention from the start was to lure this great snake to my territory, wasn't it?"
Sect Leader Huangfu Feng quickly argued that it was not.
Qin Shilei was in no position to settle accounts with the other party at this moment, leaving a remark, "Keep in contact, try to deviate from densely populated cities."
After speaking, he elementalized, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and rapidly flew out in the direction the other party came from.
A few minutes later, Qin Shilei had already flown over two thousand kilometers, arriving near the coastline.
After canceling his elementalization, he took out the Telepathic Talisman and contacted Sect Leader Huangfu Feng again, asking him to inform Shi Yongzhen to fly towards his location.
Not long after, Shi Yongzhen's figure appeared in the distance, almost flying past Qin Shilei.
Qin Shilei quickly let out a loud shriek.
Shi Yongzhen's spirit was invigorated, and he turned sharply, flying rapidly towards Qin Shilei.
Watching Shi Yongzhen getting closer and closer, as well as the massive figure closely pursuing him, Qin Shilei's mind stirred, and he immediately activated the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth entry.
Soon, a twenty-meter-tall giant stood in mid-air out of thin air.
"Yamata no Orochi?"
That great snake was clearly very similar to the image of the Yamata no Orochi he knew.
Qin Shilei's heart immediately began to pound.
Could this really be the Yamata no Orochi from myths?
However, he had no time for further thought, as the opponent had already arrived within two to three hundred meters.
Teleport!
Qin Shilei instantly appeared near one of the Yamata no Orochi's heads and thrust his sword at its vital point.
Clang!
A burst of sparks shot out.
It was like stabbing hard metal, yet he couldn't pierce even a millimeter.
"Roar!"
Suddenly attacked, the Yamata no Orochi immediately stopped chasing Shi Yongzhen, all eight of its heads twisting in unison, glaring furiously at Qin Shilei.
Poof!
A large cloud of foul-smelling poisonous mist suddenly sprayed out from one of the Yamata no Orochi's heads, rapidly enveloping Qin Shilei.
Just the smell emanating from the poisonous mist made Qin Shilei feel somewhat dizzy and disoriented.
Qin Shilei was completely unwilling to test if his poison resistance was high enough, so he dodged the poisonous mist with a flash.
As soon as his body stopped, a series of fireballs sprayed towards him.
Along with the fireballs came various elemental attacks such as ice cones, meteorites, and bites from several snake heads.
Teleport!
Qin Shilei's body suddenly disappeared from the Yamata no Orochi's heavy encirclement, then reappeared near its outermost right head.
Seven Stars Falling Across the Sky!
He rapidly swung several swords towards the opponent's head.
However, he had only unleashed five consecutive swords when the opponent's attack came crashing down again.
Qin Shilei had no choice but to interrupt his Battle Skill and turn to flash away into the distance.
Turning to the fleeing Shi Yongzhen in the distance, he shouted, "Hey, Shi, you're not just going to stand there and watch, are you?"
Shi Yongzhen replied without embarrassment, "This old man was just healing his injuries; I'm coming now."
After speaking, he held a three-foot-long saber and flew towards one of the Yamata no Orochi's outermost heads.
With Shi Yongzhen's distraction, Qin Shilei tried to unleash the Battle Skill Seven Stars Falling towards the Yamata no Orochi again.
However, the strongest seventh stance was still interrupted by the opponent before he could even unleash it.
The Yamata no Orochi was not only thick-skinned and tough-fleshed, but its eight heads each possessed different abilities and coordinated closely.
For a moment, Qin Shilei and Shi Yongzhen, working together, seemed to be at a disadvantage.
The two men and one snake fought from the sky to the ground, and then from the ground to mid-air.
The fierce battle stirred up powerful gusts of wind, blowing down the surrounding giant trees.
After some probing, Qin Shilei also understood the Yamata no Orochi's strength.
Although its strength was formidable, it was not as powerful as he had imagined.
"You keep it busy for a bit."
After saying this to Shi Yongzhen, Qin Shilei retreated over a hundred meters.
Heaven Piercing Sword!
A sharp sword qi immediately shot out from the tip of his sword.
Then it soared into the sky, rapidly forming a massive sword qi phantom.
When the Yamata no Orochi saw Qin Shilei preparing to unleash a powerful move, it roared, forced Shi Yongzhen back, and rapidly charged towards Qin Shilei.
However, it had only flown a few dozen meters when a sense of impending doom arose in its heart.
The Yamata no Orochi decisively turned and fled into the distance.
"Why are you in such a hurry to run!"
"Take this sword!"
As Qin Shilei's words fell, the hundreds of meters long sword qi phantom violently slashed down towards the Yamata no Orochi.
"Roar!"
All eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi roared in unison.
Various ice shields and earth walls continuously sprayed out from each head, blasting towards the massive sword phantom descending from the sky.
Boom boom boom!
A series of huge impacts resounded.
The Yamata no Orochi's hastily unleashed attacks were utterly unable to block the sword phantom in the slightest, all being annihilated within the colossal sword phantom.
It also knew that this was a life-or-death moment, and its entire body's energy surged out wildly.
It attached itself to the fourth, and also the strongest, head.
Then that head violently crashed upwards into the sword phantom in the sky.
Pfft!
Like a sharp blade splitting muscle, that head only lasted less than 0.1 seconds before being severed by a single sword strike.
The sword phantom, weakened by a third, continued to slash down towards the Yamata no Orochi below.
Another snake head met the sword phantom, crashing upwards.
Blood sprayed wildly, and white brain matter also splattered out.
This head was also split in half by the sword phantom.
It wasn't until the third head was severed again that the sword phantom faded, unable to inflict fatal damage on the Yamata no Orochi.
Why didn't Divine Power Stiffening take effect?
Qin Shilei looked at the Yamata no Orochi turning to flee into the distance, his heart filled with doubt.
No, it seemed that the lower part of the first head severed by the sword qi was motionless, being dragged away as it fled into the distance.
Could it be that the Yamata no Orochi's different heads are not considered a single entity?
Could it be that even Divine Power Stiffening couldn't affect the other parts?
He thought to himself, but Qin Shilei's actions were not slow at all; he instantly teleported in pursuit.
As soon as he appeared in front of the opponent, before he could even make a move, the opponent turned and continued to flee in another direction.
Qin Shilei teleported several times in a row but failed to stop the opponent.
The Yamata no Orochi was completely terrified of that previous sword strike.
It had no intention of entangling with Qin Shilei at all; as soon as it spotted Qin Shilei, it immediately turned and fled.
Or it would directly endure Qin Shilei's attacks and continue to run forward.
Without using Heaven Piercing Sword, Qin Shilei was temporarily helpless against the Yamata no Orochi.
Unbeknownst to him, it had managed to escape to the nearby seashore.
Looking at the Yamata no Orochi plunging into the sea, Qin Shilei felt some regret, wondering why he hadn't chosen a battlefield further away from the sea at the beginning.
After some thought, Qin Shilei also plunged into the sea in pursuit.
