120: The Sakura Rebellion!
One day later, in the northern territories.
In pursuit of the Pig King, Xia Fan and Magic Cat had already crossed several provinces.
During this time, the Pig King employed various tactics but consistently avoided direct confrontation.
Each time, he would throw out some delaying tactic and then turn to flee.
The two sides continued this chase, startling countless people.
“Sigh…”
At this moment, Xia Fan sighed deeply, his heart filled with vexation, “That fat pig, he’s surprisingly good at running. I’ve chased him for thousands of miles without a break, yet I still can’t catch him.”
“I really want to dismember him immediately, eat his flesh, and drink his blood!”
This was the first time he had encountered such a fast-running fierce beast; now he had truly seen it for himself.
Having once again lost sight of the Pig King, Xia Fan couldn’t help but look at the Magic Cat beside him, “Can you still sense the presence of that dead pig?”
“Of course!”
To ensure the success of this pursuit, Magic Cat had already re-marked the Pig King earlier. No matter where the Pig King fled, she could easily track him. Therefore, upon hearing the question, she pointed the way, “Tiger Brother, he ran in that direction.”
Although Magic Cat was annoyed, she always adhered to the belief that wherever Xia Fan went, she would follow. Moreover, this chase wasn't dangerous, so she simply regarded it as a long journey.
It truly wasn't easy to get a taste of this pork.
Hearing this, Xia Fan slightly raised his head. After confirming the direction to resume the chase, he couldn't help but look surprised, “This direction… it seems to be towards Kunlun Mountain!”
His expression was a bit grim. After all, Kunlun Mountain was the place with the richest mythological color, and in his previous life, many terrifying beings emerged from it. If he were to recklessly charge in, there would likely be great danger.
However, danger also represented immense opportunities.
“Tiger Brother, where is Kunlun Mountain?”
He hadn't yet answered Magic Cat's question.
Although the Pig King’s escape route had previously seemed to involve circling, upon reviewing it now, he realized that the opponent seemed to be heading directly for Kunlun Mountain. He couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself that this dead pig really knew how to pick a place.
At this moment, Xia Fan thought of that Taoist holy land, and a magical artifact left behind by a Taoist Venerable that could strike down and ensnare all things. Suddenly, he smiled, “Old pig, old pig, you’ve really given this King a good gift.”
“Alright, I’ll let you live a little longer.”
… “Sword Immortal, we finally found you!”
In a small town in the southwest, Li Sisi was busy calming the chaos caused by the clone. Hearing this voice, she quickly turned around.
A group of soldiers excitedly ran over, but quickly stopped in front of her, their faces filled with excitement, “It’s truly great that you’re alright, everyone was worried about you.”
“Are you not seriously injured?”
“Hmm, I’m fine.”
Li Sisi nodded, her heart completely at ease.
Although the clone had been slain, the chaos it brought to the town was still quite severe.
Now with manpower to assist, she believed it wouldn't take long for things to return to normal here.
However, just as she was about to say something to the officer, she saw a man with long golden hair emerge from the crowd and utter a shocking statement, “Li Sisi, hello.”
“I am the successor of the Golden Blade Sect, and I want you to be my wife!”
As Jin Mao spoke, he wore a confident expression and brazenly scrutinized Li Sisi, giving off the impression that she was already his for the taking.
“What?”
Li Sisi was instantly stunned, but seeing that Jin Mao wasn't joking, she immediately became enraged, “Be your wife?”
“Haha, you’re truly dreaming!”
“Stop your wishful thinking. I would rather marry a tiger than marry you!”
She cast a questioning glance at the others, but the soldiers were reluctant to interfere in their personal matter and could only shake their heads in silence.
“What tiger?”
Jin Mao was very puzzled, having never heard of any strong individual referred to as a tiger. However, he felt that his status was more than enough for Li Sisi, and immediately declared with bravado, “Tell me where that tiger is, and I’ll cleave him with a single strike!”
“Jiangnan Tiger King!”
“…”
Instantly, Jin Mao fell silent, his face showing an awkward expression.
He had heard of the formidable reputation of the Jiangnan Tiger King and was scared to death. He knew deep down that the Tiger King’s might was such that even their Golden Blade Sect’s sect leader would be nothing more than a single paw swipe.
Seeing this, Li Sisi rolled her eyes and no longer bothered with this ignorant fellow… Sakura Country, North Sea.
Over a hundred thousand people lived in this city. Since the news of Yamata no Orochi’s appearance, everyone had fallen into a state of panic.
They were already near the sea, and from the information they had, Yamata no Orochi preferred to be active by the coast.
Therefore, the soldiers and civilians in the city were almost all frantically preparing.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to escape, but the country was so small, where could they possibly flee to?
“Roar!”
That day, the calm sea suddenly surged with towering waves, and a powerful aura descended with a roar.
When the soldiers and civilians looked, their eyes widened in horror. Despair and terror instantly spread through everyone’s hearts.
The fierce beast, three hundred meters long with eight heads and eight tails, churned in the sea. Giant waves instantly shot skyward and crashed down mercilessly.
“The Serpent Demon has descended!”
With the appearance of this fierce beast, everyone in the city began to tense up.
The first to react were the soldiers stationed there.
Knowing there weren't many places to hide, they quickly organized forces to resist Yamata no Orochi's invasion.
“Advance!”
“Maintain fire, don’t stop!”
“Kill the Serpent Demon…”
Instantly, various shouts of battle shook the heavens, and guns and cannons fired, causing terrifying explosions in all directions.
However, Yamata no Orochi’s hide was tough, and it had no intention of directly assaulting this human city.
Splash—
Under its control, one giant wave after another surged towards the city, instantly transforming the area into a watery expanse.
Only then did Yamata no Orochi begin to move towards the city.
Boom, boom, boom!
It advanced with absolute dominance. Wherever it went, any houses or other obstacles in its path were mercilessly destroyed, and many people still hiding in their homes perished.
“Roar!”
Yamata no Orochi roared repeatedly, simultaneously controlling the seawater to flood the city and mercilessly rampaging with its eight heads and eight tails. Those humans who rushed forward were instantly shaken to death upon contact.
The scent of death quickly spread throughout the city.
In less than half a day, Yamata no Orochi, with its absolute power, directly swallowed an entire city, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians perished as a result.
Some people from Sakura Country learned of the city’s tragic state and immediately became worried, “The Serpent Demon’s digestion speed is getting faster and faster now. It seems to only need two days to digest the people of a city.”
“Are we doomed to lose our country?”
