Chapter 684: Chapter 0602: Orochi
"What is this?"
The three people’s gaze was fixed, seeing at the Divine Platform, a monster with eight heads and eight tails slowly crawling out. Its body stood over a hundred feet tall, with eight heads that were neither snake nor dragon, and sixteen eyes flickering with eerie green light.
"Roar!"
The eight-headed monster let out a strange howl, shaking the eardrums, and a wave of air swept across, pushing the three of Long, Hu, and Bao back more than ten meters.
"Boom!"
A beam of thunder light shot down from the sky, blocking the three of Long, Hu, and Bao.
He silently looked at the enormous creature with eight heads and eight tails.
"Orochi?"
Ye Qingfeng stood in front of the three, Long, Hu, Bao, with eyes slightly narrowed.
He had read in ancient Huaxia texts about the description of ancient Japanese monsters.
Orochi was a giant creature with eight heads and eight tails, ravaging the region in ancient times, bringing countless flood disasters, making the Japanese people live in misery, later killed by Susa-no-wo using a strategy.
This was the version of the legend known to most, but many said there was no monster like Orochi, only a symbol of the eight rivers of old times. Yet Ye Qingfeng was very clear that Orochi did indeed exist and was extremely powerful.
In ancient Huaxia, a master once visited Japan and had a legendary battle with Orochi for three days and nights but failed to win, leaving both sides exhausted.
This master drew the features of Orochi’s body and recorded it in ancient texts, which Ye Qingfeng learned about from these ancient books.
The three, Long, Hu, and Bao, were dumbfounded, with Long staring at the Xiangxie Divine Platform in a daze.
"Could it be that this Xiangxie Divine Platform was built to suppress Orochi?"
He exclaimed in shock.
Ye Qingfeng looked at Orochi, with its sixteen eyes the size of copper bells, directly meeting his gaze.
Ye Qingfeng’s left hand wielded flames, and his right hand wielded thunder, with two distinctly different forces surging around him. The sixteen copper bell eyes of Orochi slightly shrank, and its forked tongue flicked out.
"Humph, who would have thought I’d encounter something so interesting here!"
Ye Qingfeng grinned. Facing the monstrous creature like a small mountain, he was not only unafraid but even more excited.
Orochi sensed the surging and powerful energy from Ye Qingfeng and a hint of dread flashed deep within its pupils.
"Roar!"
It let out a strange howl, suddenly soaring into the sky, and then its eight heads first touched the ground, burrowing into the huge pit.
The ground trembled violently, and the eight giant snake tails also disappeared, leaving behind only a desolate and desolate scene.
"It’s gone?"
The three, Long, Hu, and Bao, were filled with lingering fear, having thought they would face another fierce battle, but who would have thought that Orochi would flee on its own.
The three cast respectful gazes towards Ye Qingfeng, knowing that Orochi’s retreat was solely due to the presence of this young man.
"It seems this Orochi has not yet recovered to its peak state!"
Ye Qingfeng did not pursue; he came to Japan only to sweep through the Japanese Martial Arts World and retrieve the Chiyou Sword. As for Orochi, it had nothing much to do with him.
"War God, thank you for your assistance!"
The two, Long and Hu, bowed to Ye Qingfeng, showing extreme respect and sincere gratitude. Leopard stiffened for a moment, blushing with shyness, and also softly thanked Ye Qingfeng.
"No need to thank me; this was agreed upon with Mr. Liu!"
After Ye Qingfeng finished speaking, he suddenly let out a loud shout.
"Chiyou Sword, come!"
The Chiyou Sword, which was firmly gripped by Shangchuan Duan Shui, suddenly emitted a sound and trembled violently.
Unexpectedly, it broke free from Shangchuan Duan Shui’s grasp, flew towards Ye Qingfeng, and was caught in his hand.
"I’m taking the Chiyou Sword!"
Ye Qingfeng said indifferently, stepped on the Chiyou Sword, and soared into the sky, leaving only a trail of light in the sky.
The hearts of Long, Hu, and Bao surged with emotion; regarding this legendary top master from Huaxia, all they could do was bow in submission.
"What? The Invincible War God ventured into Japan alone and swept through the Japanese Martial Arts World?"
"Not just that, I hear he instantly wiped out the top War King masters of the Seven Martial Arts Families in Japan!"
"That’s nothing; the 60th on the War God List, known as Japan’s First Ninja, Shangchuan Duan Shui was there, as was his father, the 40th on the War God List, Shangchuan Duantian, and even the 35th ’Light Fire Thunder God’ Doug came."
Days had passed since Ye Qingfeng’s battle in Japan, yet the International Martial Artists Network was once again in uproar.
Although the Eastern City Suburb he was in was relatively sparse and concealed, the surviving members of the Seven Martial Arts Families still spread the news.
All of a sudden, the entire Martial Arts World was shocked.
What kind of ability allows one person to challenge the Martial Arts World of an entire nation?
Never in over one hundred years has such a shocking feat occurred, not even during the reign of the fierce Huaxia "Dragon King" who dominated the East.
Some who were not aware of the truth asked on the forum: "Three War God List experts were there, and even Shangchuan Duantian and Doug had one foot in the War Emperor Realm. Did Ye Jiujie back down?"
The question had just been posted when a slew of approving voices followed, all believing that Ye Jiujie would surely bow to the pressure of three experts and choose to retreat.
Just then, a message suddenly popped up, stunning everyone.
"Ye Jiujie withstood the three alone, fearless, first killing Shangchuan Duan Shui and Shangchuan Duantian, forcing Doug to flee, and reportedly, Doug was also caught by Ye Jiujie, seen by a few Japanese martial artists in the forest, who saw Ye Jiujie shatter Doug with a massive bolt of thunder."
Immediately, martial arts communities across countries were horrified.
The War God List comprises only a hundred people, each one a formidable figure, ruling a country and gazing at the four corners of the world.
One-on-one, perhaps on the War God List, besides the top thirty super experts, no one can confidently kill another alone.
But now, a legend was born.
The current number one person in the Huaxia Martial Arts World, the Invincible War God Ye Jiujie, single-handedly fought against three top experts, killing them one by one. This can be said to be an unprecedented "list-slaying" act of the century.
No one ever thought that the young person they least expected on the strong list would achieve such a feat that left the world in shock and awe.
Many smelled a strong sense of danger, perhaps signalling the rise of a new legendary star leading the age in the Huaxia Martial Arts World, since the time of the "Dragon King" centuries ago.
Some even speculated that Ye Jiujie might one day replace the "Dragon King" and become the true supreme myth of Huaxia.
In the dim space, Zi Yue, clad in a black robe, with a graceful figure, leaned against a sandalwood chair, a look of lazy indifference.
A tall man with a giant sword on his back walked in from outside, the shock and fear still not fading from his face.
He placed the computer in front of Zi Yue, who at first showed no interest, but upon seeing the news scrolling on the International Martial Artists Network, was instantly dumbfounded.
