250: Demon King!

Half a day later, Lin Rourou retreated.

The Eight-Headed Serpent didn't know what kind of cooperation it had reached with Japan, but it was actually willing to confront Lin Rourou for Japan.

All residents around Mount Fuji were relocated.

Later, every month, hundreds of young girls were escorted by soldiers into Mount Fuji.

Mount Everest, the roof of the world.

At the foot of the mountain, a tranquil village that had been inhabited for generations was today shrouded in endless blood.

The snow was still as pure white as ever.

But on the snowy ground, human presence had vanished, leaving only the dark red bloodstains, not yet fully dry and shocking to behold, and... some massive, never-before-seen, eerie footprints.

The entire village was like a ghost realm.

"Report to Headquarters! An anomaly has been detected in Sector 03! The target village... has no signs of life! Repeat, no signs of life!"

"Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"

The desperate cries, transmitted via radio, reached the Great Qin Dragon Division Headquarters, thousands of miles away... Half a day later.

Several military helicopters roared in, landing steadily outside the already cordoned-off village.

The cabin doors opened, and a group of men and women, clad in special black combat suits, with powerful aura andeagle-sharp eyes, swiftly disembarked.

Leading them was a tall, valiant woman, none other than the Head of the Dragon Division—Zhao Xiaoying.

Behind her, Xia Wanqing followed.

"What's the situation?" Zhao Xiaoying asked, her face etched with frost as she looked at the tragic scene, like Hell on Earth.

"Reporting, Head!" A Dragon Division member who had been waiting there stepped forward, his voice trembling, "The entire village, from eighty-year-old elders to infants in swaddling clothes, no one was spared! All... all died tragically!"

"But what's eerie is that we... we couldn't even find a single complete body!"

Zhao Xiaoying's heart tightened upon hearing this.

She quickly walked into the village, meticulously surveying every corner of the scene.

Indeed, it was as the team member had said.

Besides bloodstains, there was nothing else.

Just as she was at a loss, a clear voice came from not far away.

"Head! Come quickly and look!"

It was Xia Wanqing.

She pointed at a row of clearly visible footprints on the snow, which looked like some kind of animal's.

"These footprints... I've never seen them before."

Zhao Xiaoying walked over, squatted down, and carefully examined the plum blossom-like footprints.

"Wanqing, take a team and follow these footprints to investigate," Zhao Xiaoying decided immediately, "Remember, if you find any anomalies, retreat immediately! Do not engage in prolonged combat!"

"Yes, Head!" Xia Wanqing responded, then waved her hand at several Dragon Division elites behind her.

"Team One, Team Two, follow me!"

Watching Xia Wanqing and the others disappear into the snowy forest, Zhao Xiaoying's brows remained tightly furrowed.

For some reason, she felt a sense of unease in her heart, as if something extremely bad was about to happen.

What she didn't know was.

Not far behind her, on the dense snow pines, two figures stood silently, like phantoms merged with this world of ice and snow.

One of them, in a luxurious palace dress, with raven hair like a waterfall and an exquisite face, was none other than the returned Great Qin Princess—Ying Yinman, Princess of Great Qin.

And the other, in a green robe, with a calm demeanor yet seemingly capable of controlling everything... Lu Yuchen.

Both of them had almost simultaneously detected the anomaly here and had quietly followed.

"This Demonic Qi..." A deep solemnity appeared in Ying Yinman, Princess of Great Qin's Phoenix eyes.

"So strong."

"Even... several times stronger than the Eight-Headed Serpent of Japan!"

"Could it be... a Nascent Soul-level Demonic Emperor?!"

Just as she was in shock and uncertainty, her pupils suddenly constricted!

She saw it!

Deep in the snowy forest, a terrifying Demonic Qi, powerful enough to make heaven and earth change color, soared into the sky!

"Not good!"

Ying Yinman, Princess of Great Qin's face drastically changed, and she no longer cared about hiding. Her figure flickered, and she already appeared in front of Zhao Xiaoying, whose face had also changed dramatically.

"Quick! Order a retreat!"

"Everyone, retreat immediately!"

Her voice was urgent and brooked no argument.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoying didn't even think, and sharply shouted into her earpiece: "Wanqing! Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

However, it was too late.

"Rumble—!"

An earth-shattering roar!

The entire snow mountain trembled violently and groaned at that instant!

An avalanche!

Endless accumulated snow, like a white tsunami, swept down, covering everything!

Amidst the rolling snow, countless gigantic, ferocious white beasts roared and charged out!

"Ah!"

Xia Wanqing and the two small teams she led were instantly completely submerged by the endless beast tide!

Screams and pleas for mercy rose and fell!

"Damn it!"

Zhao Xiaoying's eyes were splitting with rage, and she was about to rush forward.

But Ying Yinman, Princess of Great Qin held her shoulder.

"If you go, you'll also be sending yourself to your death."

Ying Yinman, Princess of Great Qin's voice was chillingly cold.

She slowly drew the ancient longsword from her waist.

"Buzz—!"

A clear sword cry resounded through the sky!

She pointed her sword at the overwhelming beast tide.

"One sword, frost chills fourteen states!"

The cold voice echoed through heaven and earth!

A brilliant Sword Light, as if to cleave the sky in two, tore through the air!

Wherever the Sword Light passed, time seemed to stand still.

Space seemed to freeze.

The hundreds of white beasts, which in the eyes of the Dragon Division elites were powerful and unconquerable, were instantly frozen by the invisible Sword Intent before they could even let out a scream, and then turned into a sky full of ice shards!

One sword, a hundred beasts annihilated!

However, there was no joy on Ying Yinman, Princess of Great Qin's face.

Her Phoenix eyes stared intently at the source of the avalanche, her voice solemn.

"Come out."

"A rat hiding its head and tail, does it deserve to be called an Emperor?"

As soon as her voice fell!

"Roar—!"

Nine roars, full of endless anger and majesty, sounded simultaneously!

Immediately after, under the terrified gazes of everyone.

A massive white giant python with nine ferocious heads slowly emerged from the collapsed snow mountain!

The Demonic Emperor—Nine-Headed Snow Python!

Its eighteen lantern-sized eyes stared intently at Ying Yinman, Princess of Great Qin, filled with undisguised killing intent and... a hint of apprehension.

It could feel that this human woman in front of it contained terrifying power capable of severely injuring it!

Both were the most supreme existences in this world!

They were peers!

The Nine-Headed Snow Python did not attack again. Its nine heads looked deeply at Ying Yinman, Princess of Great Qin, then its massive body slowly retreated into the endless abyss.

It retreated.

Seeing this, Ying Yinman, Princess of Great Qin also breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sheathed her sword.

She knew that today, a fight was probably not going to happen... In the shadows, Lu Yuchen witnessed all of this.

"This world is getting more and more interesting."

He looked at the noble figure and the retreating giant python, a playful curve on his lips.

"It seems that the days to come won't be too boring."

...Inside a heavily guarded secret room at the Dragon Division Headquarters.

"May I ask... Senior's esteemed name?" The Grand Elder spoke first, his voice tinged with a hint of probing.

Ying Yinman, Princess of Great Qin did not answer, but merely tossed an ancient token, engraved with the character "Qin," onto the table.

"This Princess is Ying Yinman, Princess of Great Qin."

"The Eldest Princess of Great Qin."
