The old man in the blue shirt waved his twin sabers, spinning them madly in the air, transforming into a dust-yellow hurricane that slashed towards Zhu Jiuyin.
This was his signature move, the Twin Sabers Flying Flow Slash.
With this move, he could easily turn thick-skinned rhinoceroses into mincemeat.
Sizzling—
The dust-yellow hurricane, upon striking Zhu Jiuyin, drew a long streak of sparks from its body!
Finally, the hurricane stopped spinning. The old man in the blue shirt landed gracefully on the ground, his sabers held behind his back, his movements exceptionally smooth, fluid, and dashing.
However, as he looked up, Zhu Jiuyin’s pair of crimson eyes were staring at him, filled with arrogance.
As for the series of sparks and lightning just now, they hadn’t left the slightest mark on Zhu Jiuyin, let alone any damage.
The old man in the blue shirt was startled, cold sweat instantly breaking out on his forehead.
“My life is forfeit!”
He had only dared to confront Zhu Jiuyin out of sheer anger. Now, realizing the disparity in their strength, his legs trembled, and his heart was filled with despair.
Just then, a dense barrage of gunfire echoed from the foot of the mountain!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang—
The bullets fired by the thousand-plus mercenaries formed a net of fire, sweeping towards Zhu Jiuyin from all directions.
In an instant, stray bullets flew everywhere, and fire erupted!
The old man in the blue shirt panicked. He wanted to flee, but found his feet rooted to the spot, completely unresponsive.
At that moment, two shadows sprinted towards him, lunging at him.
It was the young man in black and the young man in white. These two boys, one on the left and one on the right, pulled their master towards a mountain hollow beside them.
The old man in the blue shirt thus escaped death and survived. Otherwise, not to mention Zhu Jiuyin, even the stray bullets could have ended his life.
Zhu Jiuyin did not pursue the three escaping "jumping insects."
It had been attracted by the mercenaries at the foot of the mountain, its attention temporarily focused on those “stink bugs.”
“Roar—”
Zhu Jiuyin let out a furious roar, dragging its massive body, it descended the mountain at full speed.
Only then did everyone witness its true speed, which was faster than a high-speed train. From the mountainside to the foot, it took only the blink of an eye.
It was a literal blink of an eye, meaning less than a second.
And at this moment, everyone could finally see its full form.
It reared up, its upright body nearly a hundred meters tall, while its body on the ground behind it stretched for hundreds, even thousands, of meters.
Its body was covered in fiery red scales. Bullets striking the scales were like mere tickles!
“Roar—”
Zhu Jiuyin roared proudly, its gaze condescending.
Its eyes seemed to say, you vermin who dare to disturb my rest, you shall all die!
Everyone was terrified, including the mercenaries who lived by the sword.
Seeing this monster from afar was different from seeing it up close.
From a distance, it evoked only shock and fear. But now, amidst the shock and fear, there was also despair!
Could this colossal behemoth… truly be defeated?
This question lingered in everyone’s heart.
“Master Lin… What, what is going on…”
He Xinyi asked, trembling. She had come here for adventure, to find rare treasures for her grandfather, to live a better life, not to die!
If she had known there was such a monster here, she would never have come!
Master Lin said with a look of panic, “Miss He, I don’t know why this fellow woke up. According to the historical records of my sect, it should have been in hibernation during this season… Right, it must be those people just now, they are the ones who disturbed this fellow!”
Master Lin was referring, of course, to the group of people including the old man in the blue shirt.
But at this point, it was meaningless to blame or curse them. Moreover, those people had already paid the price, perishing in the serpent’s belly or being burned to ashes.
“Miss He, rest assured, I, Lin Zhengdao, will risk my old life today to protect you!”
Master Lin patted his chest and vowed.
He Xinyi forced a bitter smile, thinking inwardly, would risking your old life protect me?
Li Mu no longer shouted about running, not because he didn’t want to.
It was mainly because he was standing there, frozen with fear, not daring to breathe, let alone speak.
Even individuals like Li Qin and Gu Zhendong, who possessed mystical arts, had pale faces. The fear and shock brought by Zhu Jiuyin were too immense, leaving them with no desire to resist.
On the contrary, Xiao Hei, held in Li Qin’s arms, was eager to fight. If Li Qin hadn’t held it tightly, the little fellow would have charged out.
Besides Xiao Hei, the only one who remained calm was Chen Xiao.
His face was as serene as ever, as if the thousand-meter-long demonic serpent before him was merely a rare species at the zoo!
“Chen Xiao, why don’t we retreat first? I believe with your abilities, we can still get out safely.”
Gu Zhendong swallowed and said earnestly.
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said calmly, “Retreat? Uncle Gu, have you forgotten the purpose of our journey? Besides, you already knew what to expect on this island…”
“I knew, that’s true, but, but I didn’t expect this thing to be this terrifying…”
As Gu Zhendong spoke, he watched a rocket-propelled grenade fly towards Zhu Jiuyin.
With a bang and an explosion, a mushroom cloud appeared on its scales.
But as the smoke cleared, everyone discovered that Zhu Jiuyin was completely unharmed.
The mercenary captain had thought that modern weapons could at least pose a threat to this monster, but now it seemed he had been overthinking.
This rocket launcher, which could penetrate even the strongest fortifications, seemed to do nothing to this monster. What kind of weapon could harm it?
Could only nuclear weapons be used? But they were just mercenaries, where would they get nuclear weapons!
However, the rocket did not have absolutely no effect on Zhu Jiuyin.
At least, it had angered the colossal behemoth…
“Roar—”
Zhu Jiuyin’s roar was clearly filled with anger!
Immediately after, its massive snake head swung horizontally, and a stream of purplish-black flames swept out.
The purplish-black flames, vast and covering the sky, directly engulfed most of the thousand-plus mercenaries.
“Ah—”
Those who could scream were the lucky ones. Most mercenaries turned to ashes without even a sound.
After this single breath from Zhu Jiuyin, three-quarters of the once formidable mercenary force had perished.
He Xinyi could never have dreamed that her greatest reliance would appear so fragile before this monster!
