Blood gushed out, and flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
The World-Breaking Blade, combined with the Power of Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin, relentlessly slashed at the Yamata no Orochi, causing it to scream in agony.
But this thing was just too big; Xu Long's attacks couldn't inflict fatal damage on him, only causing him pain.
"Try this trick!"
Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm!
A sharp aura appeared out of nowhere, as if it were about to tear space apart.
The Yamata no Orochi had been screaming in agony, shuddered as a sense of impending doom washed over him, making him forget his pain.
The palm strike landed, but instead of the Yamata no Yamata no Orochi's head, it hit its tail.
In a critical moment, the Yamata no Orochi actually managed to lift its tail.
Bang!
After the dull thud, countless Powder followed.
The power of the Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm penetrates deep into the cellular level, directly destroying the cellular structure.
Once hit, even the strongest will be reduced to ashes.
Although Yamata no Orochi is powerful, it is only S-rank monster and could not possibly withstand the power of the Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm.
However, reality is always cruel. After the Yamata no Orochi disappeared from its body, which stretched more than thirty meters upwards from its tail, it stopped moving.
"This..."
Xu Long frowned, and he roughly understood what was going on.
While the Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm is powerful, it also has its limits.
The Yamata no Orochi was so enormous that it was fine after exhausting the power of the Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm.
"Awooooo!"
It suddenly shortened by more than thirty meters, causing the Yamata no Orochi to struggle frantically.
The enormous body tumbled violently, crushing countless diamonds.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.
Why not kill the enemy while they're severely wounded? Are we supposed to wait for them to recover?
Xu Long isn't stupid; he wouldn't do something so foolish.
Heaven and Earth One Sword!
A dazzling sword light spanned a hundred meters, descending towards the head of the Yamata no Orochi.
Xu Long is very clever, and the Yamata no Orochi is no fool either.
Suppressing the intense pain, the Yamata no Orochi no Orochi raised its two heads, unleashing a torrent of flames and venomous water.
Its two heads possess fire and poison attributes respectively; ordinary S-rank creatures would die instantly upon contact.
The fact that Yamata no Orochi was using both of its heads at the same time shows just how much it hated Xu Long.
"Want to kill me? No way!"
Xu Long snorted coldly, naturally not going to be foolish enough to take the hit head-on.
He used Instant Transmission to appear behind Yamata no Orochi and swung his sword to strike.
However, at that moment, the head representing thunder suddenly turned around and struck Xu Long on the head.
Pfft!
Click!
The sword light struck the Yamata no Orochi's head, severing its skull and exposing its steaming brain matter, with pulsating blood vessels still visible.
The Yamata no Orochi was severely injured, and Xu Long was also in bad shape.
A bolt of lightning, over three meters in diameter, struck him, instantly vaporizing his clothes.
Xu Long's physical body was very strong, but it was not immune to such a terrifying attack.
His body trembled violently, as if he had Parkinson's disease, before he crashed heavily to the ground.
"Awooooo!"
With a roar filled with boundless rage and killing intent, the Yamata no Orochi unleashed its three heads, spewing flames, lightning, and deadly poison at Xu Long.
In a fight to the death, whoever comes first will perish.
Countless enemies have perished under this attack. So what if they're S-rank? Absolutely no one has survived!
The Yamata no Orochi was very confident in itself, but in the next instant, its three ugly and ferocious faces suddenly twisted.
A dazzling light suddenly appeared out of thin air and struck the head in the middle.
Having already had his skull ripped off, he was then struck by a sword strike, and his head was finally gone.
"You beast, do you really think you can kill me?"
Xu Long snorted coldly and appeared in front of the Yamata no Orochi.
All hair and body hair have disappeared, and the skin is broken and rotten.
The muscles, bones, and even internal organs suffered severe damage.
Although the Yamata no Orochi's attack failed to kill him, it severely injured him.
Although his injuries were severe, he was not incapacitated enough to lose his fighting ability.
Snap!
The rotten kidneys fall off, and new kidneys grow rapidly.
Large patches of skin peeled off, and a disgusting green mucus was constantly being secreted.
These invading energies are very stubborn, but still slightly weaker than the Power of Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin.
In a maximum of two minutes, Xu Long could expel all this energy, leaving no trace on his body.
"Ouch, that really hurts! I should have been more careful!"
Xu Long muttered something and dropped the eyeballs that were hanging on his face.
The scene before him filled Yamata no Orochi with despair; it had withstood three blows and was still able to expel its own energy.
In order to survive, Yamata no Orochi made a resolute decision.
The head representing flames glared at Xu Long, then opened its mouth and bit into the rotten middle head.
Click, click!
A sickening sound rang out, Yamata no Orochi wolfed it down, swallowing it whole in an instant.
Two of the three heads remained, but the fiery head didn't stop; it bit at the poisonous head again.
Screams echoed continuously as crimson blood gushed out wildly.
In less than a breath, the Yamata no Orochi was reduced to just its head.
That wasn't the end of it; the remaining head snapped into the lower half of the body and continued to devour it.
"Oh no! This beast is going to kill us!"
The scene before him was extremely Shocker, but Xu Long still managed to react.
Yamata no Orochi wasn't brain-dead; he didn't commit suicide, but rather accumulated power.
Devour the body that is hindering you, and concentrate all your power.
Heaven and Earth One Sword!
The sharp sword light fell down, but it was too late.
The Yamata no Orochi stopped Bleeding, and its body rapidly shrank.
At the same time, the previously sluggish aura began to surge, actually reaching the limit of S-rank once again.
By now, Xu Long had exhausted 40% of his strength in the battle. Not only had he failed to kill the enemy, but they were also getting stronger. How could he possibly continue fighting like this?
The Yamata no Orochi's aura stabilized, and the original monster disappeared, transforming into a burly man.
It is two meters tall, hairless, and has bulging muscles all over its body.
At first glance, he doesn't look like a good person!
"I never expected it would force me to regress in my cultivation level!"
The burly man stared at Xu Long with a chilling murderous intent.
He had been hiding underground to heal his wounds, but unexpectedly, he was shot by a cannon for no reason.
Already severely injured, he was nearly killed by Xu Long after a fierce battle.
Left with no other choice, the Yamata no Orochi had to sacrifice a portion of its cultivation to prioritize its own survival.
There's nothing that can be done about it. If your cultivation level regresses, you can cultivate it back up, but if you lose your life, then you really lose everything.
"Wait, why can you speak Chinese?"
Xu Long was filled with surprise upon hearing Yamata no Orochi's words.
The other person's accent was strange, like a regional dialect, but Xu Long still recognized it as Mandarin pronunciation, a very ancient form of Mandarin.
"Chinese? The language of the Han people? Are you referring to Liu Che?"
Yamata no Orochi's face darkened as he recalled some very unpleasant things.
Back in the day, he was a master at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, but he was almost beaten to death by the subordinates of Emperor Liu Che of the Great Han Dynasty just because he ate a few people.
