Ren Feifan stared unblinkingly at the eight-headed, eight-tailed creature. Although it was much smaller than the black Jiao in the Tomb of the Beastly Heaven, this was just some kind of illusion summoned by Hattori Morizang. Given Hattori’s strength, this was likely the extent of his summoning powers.
It seemed to be called the Yaochi Snake?
Ren Feifan pondered in detail for a few more moments, trying to search his memory, but found no familiarity.
At this moment, Nozawa Yamari next to him spoke up: "Master, the Yaochi Snake is a sacred beast of our East Ocean Nation, its power is terrifying!
It is worshipped as the Water God in the East Ocean. Legend has it that it consumes a girl each year as a sacrifice.
The Yaochi Snake originally had nine heads and nine tails, but it is said that a man from Huaxia cut off one of its heads and one of its tails. The Kusanagi Sword was found in the severed tail, which became one of the three Eastern Artifacts."
The words of Nozawa Yamari caused Ren Feifan’s eyes to narrow. Even though it was just a story, what if some parts were true?
Could the head and tail that were cut off be the black Jiao of the Tomb of the Beastly Heaven?
According to the legend, does this mean the Yaochi Snake was cut by a Huaxian man?
Could it be possible that this Huaxia powerhouse used a part of the Yaochi Snake from the East Ocean as the tomb-guarding beast of the Tomb of the Beastly Heaven?
Ren Feifan’s thoughts started to clear up, but he needed evidence to confirm his speculations.
"You fool, floundering about at such a critical time. You’re seeking death!" Hattori Morizang sneered coldly, hurriedly commanding the two-meter-tall Yaochi Snake, "Lord Yaochi, this sly and deceitful man has killed dozens of our East Ocean Nation’s Sky Ninjas, and stole our Eastern Artifacts! His crimes cannot be forgiven!"
Hearing this, the Yaochi Snake let out an angry roar, rushing straight towards Ren Feifan!
"You think you Easterners are the only ones with divine beasts? Our Huaxia Ravaging Kylin won’t accept this! Come forth! Ravaging Kylin!"
A beam of light shot onto the ground. Twenty Spirit Stones shimmered, converging at a single point.
A large black vortex formed on the ground.
The black vortex grew larger, and in the next second, a bestial roar erupted from within.
With a thunderous roar, a beast ablaze with flames sprang from the black vortex. Its whole body shone red, its spiritual energy swirled around it. Its hair stood on end, its sharp teeth exposed, its tail raised skyward. Without any hesitation, it bolted towards Yaochi Snake.
The Yaochi Snake naturally detected the danger, but its face hung with an expression of contempt.
One of the snake’s heads spouted a burst of flames, charging directly at the Wild Kylin!
Two powers collided, and the entire underground shook.
The Wild Kylin was neither defeated nor victorious, resulting in a stalemate.
But the next moment, another head of the Yaochi Snake struck at the Wild Kylin from the side!
Plumes of smoke and dust rose into the air, obscuring the situation within.
There was a silence inside, as if all vitality had been extinguished.
Ren Feifan was taken aback. He suddenly realized a fact that he overlooked: the Flame Beast only had one head, but the Yaochi Snake had eight!
This was equivalent to fighting eight divine beasts at once!
The key towards this was not about having eight heads, but each head carried the strength that far surpassed eight individuals!
The Wild Kylin struggled to deal with two heads at once, one of ice and one of fire. It was as if it had landed itself within a realm of fire and ice!
Just when the Wild Kylin was at its wit’s end, another head of Yaochi Snake charged!
The Wild Kylin, knowing it had no way out, opened its mouth wide and bit into the head of the snake!
Without any warning, the Kylin was sent flying!
But, the Yaochi Snake also lost another head!
The dust rolled, the Wild Kylin was gasping for breath! Ren Feifan rushed forward and touched the Kylin, feeling its breath growing increasingly weak.
Indeed, no matter how brave the fighter, he couldn’t stand against four hands!
If it was one on one, the Wild Kylin would undoubtedly prevail.
But now it was one against eight. There was not a glimmer of hope for victory.
If all else fails, Ren Feifan will have to count on Egg.
Hattori Morizang looked at Ren Feifan, a smirk on his lips: "Oh, your Huaxia’s divine beasts are so weak, not to mention you Huaxia dogs. You are Pathetic! You Huaxians are destined to become slaves of our East Ocean Nation!"
There’s a glint of anger in Ren Feifan’s eyes! This Easterner actually dared to unduly disrespect on the land of Huaxia!
Even purely out of respect, Ren Feifan was determined to leave this Yaochi Serpent behind!
Just as Ren Feifan was about to make his move, the ground began to tremble!
Soon after, an ancient voice emerged from nowhere, "The land of Huaxia is no place for a yokel like you to slander outright! Just a mere eight-headed snake monster, do you really think we Huaxia has no worthy opponent? We Huaxian possess the Kunlun Heavenly Beast! Watch how you yokels face the consequences of insulting our great Huaxia nation!"
In the next instant, the land began to fill with thick smoke!
"The Enlightened Heavenly Beast, imbued with golden essence; with a tiger’s body and a human face, it exemplifies this ruthless form; its intimidating gaze aimed at Kun Mountain, daunting all spirits." A mild yet ancient voice echoed through the air!
Soon, the whole world started to shake!
With a "boom", the smoke finally dispersed!
Ren Feifan saw a strange beast appear before his eyes. The creature had the body of a huge tiger, its striped patterns intimidating, and its tail standing tall and strong.
What was most shocking was that this Kunlun Heavenly Beast had not only the body of a tiger, but also nine human faces! Its expressions were solemn, its eyes continuously glaring at the Yaochi Serpent before it.
Ren Feifan was a bit taken aback. Huaxia indeed possessed such fierce divine beasts!
The Yaochi Serpent was clearly enraged, extending its long neck and opening its wide mouth!
But before it could strike at the Kunlun Heavenly Beast, one of the beast’s heads released a flame from its eyes that directly skewered one of the heads of the Yaochi Serpent!
Next, the Kunlun Heavenly Beast let out a thunderous roar, shaking the ground beneath it even more!
"You hybrid creature, kneel before me!" Suddenly the Kunlun Beast roared.
Ren Feifan didn’t think that the Yaochi Serpent would kneel, but would likely engage in a battle of divine beasts representing two great nations.
In the next moment, to everyone’s surprise, the Yaochi Serpent did indeed kneel!
The divine beast of the East Ocean had knelt before the divine beast of Huaxia!
Ren Feifan was a little taken aback, they had barely started fighting, and it has already kneeled?
Wasn’t it very arrogant a moment ago?
And now it submits so quickly?
Hattori Morizang was even more shocked, this was the Yaochi Serpent!
In the East Ocean, it was revered as a god. So, how did it kneel as soon as it saw this beast with nine human faces and a tiger’s body!
This was not the aura that the Yaochi Serpent should have at all!
"Lord Yaochi, what is this..."
Hattori Morizang stuttered, his body trembling. He was careful not to disrespect the Yaochi Serpent whose status in the East Ocean was even higher than the Emperor!
But what should he do now?
At this moment, the Kunlun Heavenly Beast, looking down from above, eyed the kneeling Yaochi Serpent with scorn!
With the bloodline of Huaxia coursing through its veins, it was naturally far superior to these hydebrids from these trivial lands!
The Kunlun Heavenly Beast, looking at the submissive Yaochi Serpent below him, stretched out a powerful paw and struck down at him!
In almost an instant, the Yaochi Serpent turned into a pool of blood and dissolved into nothingness, as if it had never existed before.
Upon seeing this, the Kunlun Heavenly Beast also quietly disappeared, completely vanishing from sight.
After their disappearance, Hattori Morizang suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. This East Ocean divine creature that he had painstakingly summoned was completely crushed, which naturally resulted in a severe loss of his spiritual energy!
