Chapter 281: Slaughter with One Sword

The Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race went together to see the aggressive-looking Orochi.

In the sky above a plain, Orochi suddenly stopped. His huge body curled up. The expressions on the nine heads were different. Some were ferocious, some were calm, some were cold, and some were kind…

“G.o.d Orochi, why did you stop?” A False Immortal of the Wo Nation asked, puzzled.

“Some old friends have come,” Orochi said faintly.

The False Immortal of the Wo Nation instantly stopped talking. He stood obediently at the side and watched quietly.

Soon, the Seven Great Sages arrived.

When the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao, saw the huge body of Orochi, he waved his hand and greeted, “Long time no see.”

In the nine heads of Orochi, the indifferent head spoke, “The Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race that I knew of were ferocious, unruly, and not human-like.”

“People will change,” Demon King Dapeng said.

“In that case, I don’t recognize any of you,” Orochi said coldly. He was disdainful of the current appearance of the Seven Great Sages.

The Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race looked at each other and felt that the situation was troublesome. Orochi’s att.i.tude was very aggressive. With this att.i.tude, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with him next.

Boom!

Demon King Pingtian directly transformed into his true form. A huge green ox appeared, filled with a barbaric aura that shrouded its body.

“Orochi, you were a top existence of the Monster Race thousands of years ago. In the past few thousand years, the spiritual energy has weakened, but you weren’t affected at all?” Demon King Pingtian asked, puzzled.

“I hid in a place and avoided the weakening of the spiritual energy, but I also paid a huge price.” Orochi was very satisfied with Demon King Pingtian changing into his true form and answered.

“If you want to talk to me, then return to your true forms. Don’t use your human forms to talk to me.” Orochi warned the others.

The five monsters—Demon King Jiao, Demon King Dapeng, Demon King Gui, Demon King Yuan, and Yun Shanhai—were helpless. They could only transform back into their true forms.

Demon King Jiao wandered in the void. His body was huge, but in front of Orochi, he looked very delicate and slender.

“May I know what’s your purpose here this time, Orochi?” Demon King Jiao asked in a low voice.

“To s.n.a.t.c.h away the destiny energy of this era. I heard that it’s the frail humans ruling the world now. I want to overthrow them and let the Monster Race rule the world,” Orochi said coldly.

“You might not be able to do this!” Demon King Dapeng spread his wings and soared into the sky, directly saying this.

Orochi looked at Demon King Dapeng coldly and asked, “Why not?”

“Orochi, even the Myriad Races have been suppressed by the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty. The Myriad Races won’t be able to stir up any waves,” Demon King Gui shook his head and said.

“Moreover, the Monster King and the Human Race are getting along quite well now. The Hundred Thousand Mountains is given to us as the habitat of the Monster Race. The policy of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty on the Monster Race is to treat everyone equally. It was only when the Myriad Races caused trouble that they were ruthlessly suppressed. Orochi, you are powerful, but you are also unable to go against the era.” Demon King Yuan transformed into his true form. He was a huge ape that was like a mountain. His arms were long as he stood on the ground and said.

“You guys joined the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty?” Orochi’s voice was cold. There was fury in his eyes that burned fiercely.

If it weren’t for the fact that he knew the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race and that they were one of the few powerhouses of the Monster Race, Orochi would have directly attacked them.

“That’s right. We brought the Monster Race in the Hundred Thousand Mountains along and sided with the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty. After all these years, the Monster Race’s days have finally calmed down a lot. We are thriving now and our race has become much stronger. The policies implemented by the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty are very preferential to the Monster Race. That’s why we came,” the Great Sage of the White Clothed, Bai Zilong, said.

Orochi looked coldly at the Great Sage of the White Clothed, Bai Zilong, and said, “You are the only one among the Seven Great Sages that I don’t like. You are a mixed-blood between human and monster. In the end, you are still loyal to the Human Race. Not only did you throw the dignity of the Monster Race to the ground, but you also deceived them into accompanying you to become a dog for the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty. The Monster Race is indomitable, how can we live under others and be controlled by others?”

Bai Zilong’s expression instantly turned ugly. These words could be said to be heart-piercing, angering Bai Zilong.

“As a senior of the monster race, what good have you done for the Monster Race at your peak?”

“At your peak, you didn’t lead the Monster Race out of our predicament and disappeared for thousands of years. Back then, we were the ones supporting the Monster Race. When the spiritual energy has recovered and we awakened, we are still supporting the Monster Race. There are millions of monsters living in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Through our efforts, we can live there freely. Moreover, we can also enjoy the help of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty. The life of the Monster Race has greatly improved. The current Monster Race is living much better than you think.”

Bai Zilong refuted Orochi with a furious gaze.

These words made Orochi’s aura constantly rise and his killing intent skyrocket. Bai Zilong was blaming him and interrogating him.

“Ignorant brat, what do you know? The Monster Race has always been controlling our own fate. For your own future, you guys sold the Monster Race to the humans without hesitation. Now, you actually want to brainwash me too? Dream on!” Orochi roared and snorted coldly.

“Orochi, we brothers respect you as the once invincible powerhouse of the Monster Race. We don’t want you to have a conflict with Great Emperor Jiufeng. It has only been a few days since the previous incident of the Primordial G.o.d Mountain, why are you coming out to seek death?” The Great Sage of the Dreaming, Yun Shanhai, said with a solemn expression.

“Seek death?”

Orochi smiled mockingly. Then, his expression turned cold as he scolded, “A mere human is also worthy of me seeking death?”

“Even if that Great Emperor Jiufeng comes out, I will still kill him. When I devour him and absorb the destiny energy of this era, the path to becoming an immortal isn’t far off for me. What does the Human Race have to resist me?” Orochi said disdainfully.

“In the past, we once wanted to kill Great Emperor Jiufeng too. In the past, the Kunlun Mountains also wanted to kill Great Emperor Jiufeng. When the Myriad Races appeared, they also wanted to destroy the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty and kill Great Emperor Jiufeng. Even the Primordial G.o.d Mountain not long ago also wanted to kill Great Emperor Jiufeng and destroy the Human Race.”

“But as things developed, we submitted to Great Emperor Jiufeng. The Kunlun Mountains don’t even dare to fart loudly now. They are just obedient babies. The Myriad Races were scared out of their wits. Even the Primordial G.o.d Mountain was destroyed…”

“Countless people wanted to kill Great Emperor Jiufeng, but most of them died in his hands. We brothers have witnessed the rise of Great Emperor Jiufeng. He is the Son of Destiny of this era. You want to kill him? You are simply thinking too much.”

Demon King Jiao said.

He was just short of publicly saying that he was convinced by Lin Jiufeng’s strength and was now his loyal believer.

“I didn’t expect that the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race that everyone praised to be fearless have already become secular. You have forgotten that you are monsters and not humans. The way you flatter Great Emperor Jiufeng now makes me feel very uncomfortable.” Orochi gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger.

“We aren’t flattering Great Emperor Jiufeng, but speaking according to reality,” the Great Sage of the Dreaming, Yun Shanhai, said.

“Only people like us who have experienced the events of the past have the right to speak of the world. Your thoughts are still stuck at thousands of years ago. At that time, the humans and the monsters were on opposite sides, killing each other. But after thousands of years, the communication between humans and monsters has also increased. The interaction between both sides increased and we even trade with each other. The common people and the ordinary monsters can all live in peace. This is the reason why we support the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty and Great Emperor Jiufeng so much,” the Great Sage of the Moving Mountain, Demon King Gui, said solemnly.

“I really don’t know how this Great Emperor Jiufeng brainwashed you guys to actually speak up for him like this. I don’t have time to pay attention to you guys now. Seeing that you guys were once outstanding powerhouses of the Monster Race, I won’t kill you guys today. I will go and kill this Great Emperor Jiufeng. I will let you guys see how fragile the Human Race is. This world shall be ruled by the Monster Race. This era shall be called the Myriad Monsters Era!” Orochi raised his head and said proudly. His aura was huge and rumbling.

After saying that, he wanted to go past the Seven Great Sages and directly to the imperial capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.

But Demon King Pingtian stepped into the air. The air instantly trembled. With a bang, he stared at Orochi and said solemnly, “If you insist on not listening to our advice, then defeat the seven of us brothers. Otherwise, you won’t be able to go past us.”

The Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao, also roamed the void and faced Orochi head-on. Then, with a roar, a trace of dragon’s might emitted from his body.

Although he didn’t say anything, Demon King Jiao’s att.i.tude was very clear.

Demon King Dapeng, Demon King Gui, Demon King Yuan, Bai Zilong, and Yun Shanhai all raised their banners and stared at Orochi.

Even though they were inferior to Orochi, they had to take action.

After all, Orochi was a powerhouse of the Monster Race. If he really got into a conflict with Great Emperor Jiufeng, it would incur Great Emperor Jiufeng’s wrath and implicate the millions of monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. To them, the gains wouldn’t make up for the losses.

Hence, even if they couldn’t win, they had to fight.

The anger in Orochi’s eyes was difficult to hide. He spoke angrily, “Are you all that afraid of that Great Emperor Jiufeng? Since when did the people of the Monster Race have to be so humble?”

Demon King Jiao, the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, sighed. “You haven’t seen Great Emperor Jiufeng before, so you can be ignorant and fearless, but we can’t. I personally witnessed Great Emperor Jiufeng walk step by step until his position now. To be honest, even ten of you added up also can’t compare to a single Great Emperor Jiufeng.”

Orochi laughed from anger. “Even ten of me added up can’t compare to a single Great Emperor Jiufeng? I don’t believe that there’s such a terrifying person in this world.”

“All of you, get lost. Seeing that we were once acquaintances, I won’t kill you guys today, but what you all have lost is the face of our Monster Race. I must go and take it back.”

Orochi was quite angry. He directly flicked his tail.

Rumble!

The void exploded. Surging Great Dao enveloped the surroundings like a waterfall. It swept in all directions, and everything in the world seemed to collapse at this moment.

Orochi had transcended nine lightning tribulations and was very terrifying. It was only because he didn’t want to kill the Seven Great Sages. Otherwise, this move would be enough to kill them all.

Even between False Immortals, there were disparities in strength!

This was the terrifying aspect of Orochi and also his arrogance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions sounded. Wherever the tail went, s.p.a.ce was sealed and the Great Dao washed over. Even though the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race had already transcended five lightning tribulations, they were still unable to resist at all.

They suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat under Orochi.

“Hmph, you guys haven’t recovered to your peak yet. You guys are so weak, it’s no wonder that you submitted to the humans. I haven’t improved in the past few thousand years, and it looks like you guys haven’t improved either,” Orochi looked at the pale-faced Seven Great Sages and said disdainfully.

After defeating them with a single attack of his tail, Orochi didn’t stop. His current anger was ignited as he rushed to the imperial capital, wanting to kill Great Emperor Jiufeng and announce to the world that it was time for the Monster Race to rise to power.

The Seven Great Sages looked at the departing Orochi and smiled bitterly.

“He has always been at the peak. We are no match for him.” Demon King Jiao, the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, recovered his human form. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a bitter smile.

“Is this the terrifying aspect of a False Immortal who pa.s.sed nine lightning tribulations?” Demon King Dapeng asked in shock.

“We are unable to resist him at all. Then, is he actually strong enough to deal with Great Emperor Jiufeng?” The Great Sage of the Moving Mountain, Demon King Gui, asked.

“Orochi is indeed terrifying, but he didn’t amaze me. The only person who has always amazed me is Great Emperor Jiufeng,” Demon King Yuan said.

“This time, there should be a world-shocking battle between Orochi and Great Emperor Jiufeng,” Bai Zilong guessed.

Yun Shanhai and Demon King Pingtian stood at the side silently. They only looked in the direction of the imperial capital.

The powerhouses of the world should have sensed it when Orochi flicked his tail just now.

The top powerhouse of the Monster Race had appeared, wanting to find trouble with Great Emperor Jiufeng. Be it the Myriad Races, the Human Race, or other races, they were all watching.

…

Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, imperial capital!

Orochi soon arrived. His nine heads roared in unison, emitting a sound that shook the sky and carried anger.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, come out and accept your death!”

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, come out and accept your death!”

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, come out and accept your death!”

His shouts reverberated between heaven and earth. Under his vast aura, Orochi suppressed the imperial capital. The common people watched in horror. Orochi’s huge body was very terrifying, making them tremble.

In the Forbidden City, a False Immortal wanted to charge out, but he was glanced at by Orochi. A terrifying impact landed and severely injured this False Immortal.

Emperor De immediately waved his hand to stop the others from attacking.

“The only person we can depend on now is Great Emperor Jiufeng!” Emperor De said solemnly.

He looked at the hidden Cold Palace in the imperial capital.

Orochi was very aggressive and terrifying, but he didn’t discover the Cold Palace that was hidden by the [Light of the Homes].

In the Cold Palace!

Lin Jiufeng let out a long breath. He looked at the blue sky, his already blind eyes carrying a bright and beautiful light.

Dressed in white, his appearance was that of a das.h.i.+ng young man.

Although his five senses were sealed, Lin Jiufeng still knew that an enemy had come.

Orochi didn’t hide his aura at all. He had rushed straight towards the imperial capital, carrying a terrifying aura. No matter how slow Lin Jiufeng’s reaction was, he could still sense it.

He stood in the Cold Palace, his back tall and straight. His cold and thin temperament was like the radiance of the cold moon, illuminating the world.

“Since you don’t know the meaning of death, I shall fulfill your wis.h.!.+”

Lin Jiufeng spoke coldly.

He directly broke through the influence of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being.

His mouth was able to speak now.

In the very next moment, his ears heard something.

Next, Lin Jiufeng’s eyes saw the sun. It was so resplendent, just like the Great Dao that he had previously seen.

Then, his soul shed the impurities and stood up again.

Everything was moving in a good direction.

In the end, Lin Jiufeng’s divine soul also escaped from its seal.

His only deficiency now was his Dao Fruit, his broken Dao Fruit.

“My Dao Fruit was comprehended by me. Even if it’s broken, I can still repair it.” Lin Jiufeng pushed open the door and walked to the door of the Cold Palace. He looked at Orochi’s huge body that was floating in the air.

Then, cracking sounds came from his body.

His Dao Fruit was rapidly recovering.

Lin Jiufeng raised his hand. Using his finger as a sword, he raised it towards the sky.

Ten seconds later, with a bang, his broken Dao Fruit had successfully connected into one again in his body. The Great Dao was like broken meridians that were quickly recovering in his body.

Lin Jiufeng slashed out with his finger.

Clang!

In the very next moment, a streak of sword energy exploded.

“After successfully transcending the tribulation, I only need one strike to kill you!”

“This strike can overturn or flatten the mountains and seas.”

“There’s nothing much in this strike, just that the sword energy is very long.”

“30,000 miles long!”

Lin Jiufeng stood with his hands behind his back, his white clothes fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, everyone in the world saw this resplendent sword energy.

This sword energy spanned 30,000 miles, stretching very far into the distance. As for the aggressive Orochi, his head was directly cut off.

Not just one head.

All nine heads fell together.

Orochi and Lin Jiufeng were both False Immortals who had undergone nine lightning tribulations, but the difference in strength was huge.

After Lin Jiufeng casually killed him, he didn’t take a look before turning around and walking into the Forbidden City.

He was going to see Emperor De.
