"Go die!!" Orochimaru shouted.
The sword in his hand stabbed toward Chen Fan's forehead. He would not allow any accidents; piercing his forehead was the best choice.
The Third Hokage's expression changed drastically as well. Just as everyone thought the Kusanagi Sword was about to pierce Chen Fan's skull—
"...!" A strange sound rang out.
The Kusanagi Sword had barely touched Chen Fan's forehead before it was sent flying, plunging into the tree behind Orochimaru and effortlessly piercing straight through the trunk.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Was Chen Fan's head made of diamonds? Even the Kusanagi Sword, the hardest sword in the world, had failed to leave even a scratch on him.
This was no longer something a human could accomplish. Orochimaru could hardly believe it, but then his neck suddenly stretched out. His clothes quickly fell away, revealing his true form—the White Scale Serpent. Opening its jaws, it lunged for Chen Fan's neck, intending to plant a Curse Mark on him while making one last desperate attempt to take over his body.
Smack! Chen Fan grabbed Orochimaru's neck with one hand. Orochimaru froze. He had not expected Chen Fan to break free from the First Hokage's restraints. Looking toward the First Hokage, he saw that a large part of his body had shattered.
Orochimaru suddenly felt fear the moment Chen Fan's hand touched his true body.
"What are you trying to do?" Orochimaru asked Chen Fan. The scales on his true form, the White Scale Serpent, were harder than steel. He did not understand where this fear was coming from.
Chen Fan looked at Orochimaru and smiled faintly. "Checkmate. I had a pleasant time playing with you. You actually managed to fool even me. But I can fool others; others cannot fool me."
Orochimaru felt the blood in his body
