With those words, a monster with five serpent heads slowly rose from the long sword behind Watanabe Kiyoshiro.
An endless majestic pressure intimidated everyone present.
Kneeling respectfully to one side, Watanabe Kiyoshiro exclaimed excitedly, “Welcome, great one, to your descent into this world!”
Orochi looked towards Xue An, and hunger filled all ten icy, sinister serpent eyes.
“What a splendid body, if possessed by me, then I would have no rival in this world!”
This sight also filled Songmu Feihua with utter dread.
Orochi.
A demon god from the legends of Country R.
Could it actually exist?
And it seemed to have ill intentions towards Xue An!
Takeuchi Kiyoko and the others also wore grave expressions at this moment.
Only Xue An, with a calm demeanor, said, “You finally deign to appear after I’ve searched for so long!”
Orochi was taken aback for a moment, “Mortal, what do you want with me?”
Showing his pearly white teeth, Xue An smiled ominously, “Of course, I want… your life!”
No sooner had he spoken than Xue An transformed into a streak of light, appearing directly in front of Orochi, and then his hand grasped one of the serpent heads and tugged fiercely.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
Xue An actually ripped off one of the serpent heads by force.
Demon blood splattered everywhere.
Orochi let out a painful scream.
“Mortal, I shall grind you to dust bit by bit!” Orochi roared while its serpentine body suddenly split open, revealing an exceedingly sharp treasured sword.
“The Celestial Sword!” Songmu Feihua cried out in shock.
It was what legends said was lodged within Orochi, the very Celestial Sword.
At this moment, Orochi gradually morphed into a humanoid form, wielding the Celestial Sword, and cackled manically, “Today, I shall let you know, let you know that the demon god is invincible in battle!”
With that, it swung its sword.
The sharpness of the Celestial Sword even left a sword mark in the air, as if it had slashed through the space itself.
This mighty strike also blasted Xue An away.
Then he fell into the night sky, his fate unknown.
Benqiao Meijia’s heart was shocked, and she couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.
And An Yan, who stepped outside the side hall, also turned pale with shock.
“Husband!”
Her shout reached the ears of the triumphant Orochi Demon God who looked down and then was taken aback.
“You… you… you are…” Orochi’s entire body trembled as if it had seen something horrendous.
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian were waving their little fists in anger, shouting, “You big octopus, how dare you hit my dad!”
In the eyes of the two young girls, Orochi looked just like a big octopus.
But before An Yan could speak, Orochi turned tail and ran.
This turn of events shocked Songmu Feihua and the others.
What’s going on?
Why did the Orochi Demon God flee at the mere sight of An Yan?
Even Watanabe Kiyoshiro couldn’t help but stare in astonishment.
“Demon god, why are you running?”
Orochi bellowed, “Not running means not even saving my own life, quick, let’s go!”
But just then, an earth-shattering aura arrived, followed by an indifferent voice.
“Thinking of running? It’s too late!”
As he spoke, Xue An’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Orochi, grabbing several serpent heads in one swoop.
Bang.
He forcefully pulled off another two heads.
Orochi, furious, swung its sword.
But now, Xue An didn’t even bother to dodge, simply grasping the supposedly indestructible Celestial Sword directly.
“He… he… has he broken through?” Songmu Feihua exclaimed in surprise.
That’s right.
Xue An had finally broken through that crucial threshold and advanced to the status of a Loose Immortal.
But his status as a Loose Immortal was a hundred times more powerful than anyone else’s.
“Sounds impressive, but it’s far inferior to The Celestial Sword and other divine artifacts!” Xue An said lightly before applying force.
Crack.
The Sword of Clouds broke.
This sword was also a manifestation of Orochi’s soul essence, and its breaking instantly caused Orochi’s strength to greatly diminish.
Xue An then kicked it to the ground.
At that moment, Watanabe Kiyomi was in a daze, and Xue An threw him to the ground as well.
As soon as he hit the ground, Orochi saw An Yan and immediately began to retreat in terror.
Xue An stood with his hands behind his back and asked calmly, “Now, can you tell me why you sealed my wife?”
The human form manifested by Orochi knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice, “My lord, I… I wouldn’t dare to seal your lady!”
Puff!
Another snake head was severed.
Orochi cried out in pain.
Xue An said indifferently, “No seal? Then what’s with the demonic aura on her?”
Orochi stuttered, “My lord, I truly didn’t seal her. That day I possessed the Demonic Sword and followed Watanabe Kiyomi to Huaxia, where we encountered her by chance. She seemed disoriented, so I had Watanabe Kiyomi capture her and bring her to Country R! But…”
A look of extreme terror flashed in Orochi’s eyes.
“But then a frightening flame suddenly erupted from her body. Although I was only touched by it slightly, it severely damaged my vital energy. With no other options, I had to use all my cultivation level to temporarily seal her. My lord, I have not uttered a single lie!” Orochi said in fear.
It knew all too well that in the presence of someone like Xue An, if it misspoke even a single word, it would face the demise of both soul and body.
Moreover, Orochi was now guessing, just who was this man?
Why was he so powerful, even to the point of being tyrannical?
An Yan’s complexion gradually paled, and she shook her head at Xue An.
“Husband… I don’t remember anything about that day!”
Xue An smiled with a tinge of heartache, “It’s okay, you’ll remember it one day!”
Meanwhile, Orochi saw an opportunity to escape.
Because it knew that if Xue An wanted to break the seal, he would surely have to kill it,
but now that it had lost several heads and its strength was greatly diminished, how could it possibly stand against Xue An?
Xue An took a step forward and instantly appeared behind it, throwing a punch.
“Ah ah ah ah I don’t want to die….”
The scream came to an abrupt end.
Orochi’s demonic body disintegrated under that punch.
And at the same time.
An obscure aura vanished from An Yan’s body.
An Yan felt her body’s energy pathways become much smoother.
But immediately after, an apocalyptic flame capable of ending the world rose from her body.
Its power was so tremendous that Watanabe Kiyomi, who was closest, didn’t even have the chance to scream before he was reduced to nothingness.
Even Xue An’s normally unflappable face showed a hint of shock.
“Apocalypse Flame, how is that possible!”
An Yan, however, was completely unaware of this, and as the flames lasted for only a few seconds, a talisman spell that made heaven and earth tremble flashed on her forehead.
Then the flames gradually disappeared.
Xue An’s face turned grim, and he gritted his teeth.
“Seal of the Immortal King!”
An Yan, still oblivious, slowly approached and said somewhat fearfully, “Husband, what’s wrong?”
Xue An took a deep breath and smiled slightly, “It’s nothing!”
As he spoke, Xue An took An Yan’s arm and used his Divine Sense to probe the energies within her body.
Suddenly.
A vast and mighty mental power burst forth.
In Xue An’s mental world, a pair of immense eyes slowly opened.
