Lin Zhan roared, "Execute."
Ten thousand golden-tier martial artists swung their blades, heads fell, and bodies toppled. The executioners kicked the corpses into the large pit before them.
The remaining soldiers brought the second batch of traitors to the execution ground, swung their blades again, and brought in more people...
This repetitive action sent shivers down the spines of people worldwide. Blood flowed like rivers into the pit before them.
By afternoon, the execution was finally over. A strong smell of blood filled the air. Both the executioners and the observers fell silent, not uttering a single word.
Lin Zhan also looked at the scene with a pale face, doubting his decision for the first time.
In a hidden space above Apple Mountain, the Yamata no Orochi watched the scene greedily. Several of its heads communicated with each other, "When did such a cold-blooded kid appear in Huaxia?"
"Heh heh, but it's not bad. It's all for us."
"Yeah, such intense resentment will greatly enhance our strength."
"That's right, that's right. It's all thanks to this kid. Otherwise, if we dared to do this, the old monsters of Huaxia would have found us long ago."
"Outside now, that old Daoist is a bit tricky. The rest is that clan's king. We'll go out, directly absorb this deathly resentment, and then escape."
"Good idea. As long as we don't hurt anyone, they won't dare to attack us. Once we absorb the resentment, we'll escape immediately. By the time the news reaches Huaxia, it will be too late for those old monsters to come."
"Let's do it, brothers. Let's move!" The Yamata no Orochi quickly tore through the space before them and appeared on Apple Mountain.
"I am the ancient Emperor-tier Yamata no Orochi. Today, I have no intention of being enemies with Huaxia and do not wish to harm anyone. I only need to take away the resentment here. Be smart and withdraw your troops, don't cause trouble." The Yamata no Orochi shouted to the Huaxia crowd.
Lin Zhan and the silent crowd suddenly felt a spatial fluctuation, and then the voice of the Yamata no Orochi came.
The Huaxia crowd carefully observed the Yamata no Orochi: Good heavens, as expected of an Emperor-tier fierce beast, its length is over 3,000 meters, with nine necks, each a thousand meters long, carrying eight giant snake heads.
Lin Shanhe immediately gave the order, commanding the army to withdraw from Apple Mountain.
Seeing that the army had completely withdrawn, the Yamata no Orochi nodded with satisfaction, sighing, "As expected of Huaxia. A civilized nation. It's a pity that in my youth, I was ignorant and was driven out by someone."
Lin Zhan circulated his martial essence and shouted loudly, "Are you the one who escaped from the Jiutou Xiangliu clan in ancient Huaxia?"
The Yamata no Orochi looked at Lin Zhan, knowing that it was this cruel and heartless kid who ordered the execution of over 2.7 million people. Deep down, the Yamata no Orochi actually liked this kid. After all, without Lin Zhan, it wouldn't have gotten so much resentment.
"Indeed, you brat have sharp eyes. You actually know about events from ancient times."
Lin Zhan continued with a smile, "Then I'll call you Senior. I also heard this from an elder, and seeing that one of your snake heads is missing, it must have been shot off by Emperor Houyi, right?"
Seeing the smile on Lin Zhan's lips, Di Xin and the others also retreated, looking at the Yamata no Orochi with pity, thinking that this old serpent was in trouble for falling into the hands of this black-hearted kid.
Upon hearing Lin Zhan's words, the Yamata no Orochi became suspicious. Could this brat be a descendant of some old monster? Otherwise, how could he recognize me? I must not harm this kid, or the old guy will be provoked. It's best to talk to him first and see how many old immortals in Huaxia are still awake.
Then, looking at Lin Zhan with the demeanor of a kind elder, he said, "You brat, you're good. You've got guts. Your ancestor likes you. He really likes you. Brat, tell me, who is your elder? Maybe we're old acquaintances."
Lin Zhan sneered inwardly, but his face showed excitement, "Oh my goodness, that would be great! We must be old acquaintances. How about this, I'll call our ancestor out, and you two old brothers can have a good chat."
The Yamata no Orochi was stunned upon hearing Lin Zhan's words. What, have a chat?
After speaking, Lin Zhan took out the Dragon Source Golden Coffin that sealed the Black Dragon King and unsealed it.
"Roar!" A huge dragon roar sounded. The Black Dragon King, tens of thousands of meters long, appeared before the world. Looking at the little snake before him, he said, "What, don't you want to catch up with this king?"
The Yamata no Orochi looked at the Black Dragon King before it and was completely dumbfounded. This wasn't catching up; this was a prelude to becoming wine! Its snake gall might even be scooped out and made into wine by this old guy.
"Wuwuwu, Uncle Hei Er, why are you here? You look healthy and strong. Please wait here, kid, I'll pour you some tea." After speaking, the Yamata no Orochi tried to flee into the void.
"Bang." The Yamata no Orochi was hit so hard that stars appeared before its eyes and it returned. It couldn't help but say tearfully, "It's over, it's over, I'm finished! Uncle Er, I haven't done anything outrageous, have I? Emperor Houyi wanted to kill me, but he wouldn't let me escape! Even so, I lost a head. Was it necessary to be so ruthless and invite you here?"
The Black Dragon King knew that the Yamata no Orochi was an anomaly among the Jiutou Xiangliu clan. It wasn't good at anything else, but when it came to escaping, few of its peers could catch it. It could even dodge Emperor Houyi's arrows. You can imagine how good it was at escaping. So, while Lin Zhan was babbling, the Black Dragon King quietly sealed the void here, preventing the Yamata no Orochi from escaping into the void.
The Black Dragon King looked at the Yamata no Orochi's wronged but silent demeanor and became angry. What kind of creature was this? It was, after all, one of the ancient fierce beasts of Huaxia. Although it was driven out and unwanted, it shouldn't act like a pug.
"Alright, stop being so whiny. It's just that you haven't committed any heinous acts. Otherwise, Yu Longyan would be here today."
Upon hearing the Black Dragon King's words, the Yamata no Orochi shivered with fear. "Holy crap, if that pervert Yu Longyan came, and didn't scoop out my snake gall to make wine, the sun would rise from the west!"
Then, remembering the Black Dragon King's words, it cautiously asked, "Uncle Er, judging by your words, I can still keep my life?"
"Don't be like that, Old Ancestor. I've already prepared the wine, just waiting for the snake gall to soak." Lin Zhan said, holding up a wine pot with spatial storage capabilities.
The Yamata no Orochi looked at Lin Zhan aggrievedly and said, "Kid, can you still be human? Do you have to kill me?"
