"Roar..."
The Eight-Headed Serpent was severely wounded by the sword, both surprised and enraged. It couldn't understand why there were so many powerful beings in this world after it awoke.
This man before me is incredibly powerful, far stronger than the young man just now. He's like a nightmare come to life.
But no matter what, whether for survival or for the woman with the witch spirit body, it had to fight on.
Thinking of this, it roared repeatedly, launching attacks one after another. A giant head opened its mouth and spewed out a fire dragon with a whoosh.
"A bead, even the smallest one, dares to shine!"
A disdainful glint flashed in Gu Qian's eyes. He raised his hand and waved it, directly smashing the fire dragon into a sky full of sparks, dissipating into nothingness.
"Roar..."
Hachisaka no Orochi spat out another ice sword, but before it could get close, Kou Chien sliced it into a shower of ice shards with a single stroke.
"Boom..."
The Eight-Headed Serpent launched another attack, but sadly, this level of lightning had no effect on the celestial fairy.
Gu Qian reached out and grabbed the lightning power, holding it in his palm. It was like a dying little snake of lightning, twitching a few times before finally disappearing.
<<>>
The most potent poison, even capable of piercing through one's protective immortal essence.
"Damn animal!"
The successive attacks not only had no effect, but also provoked Gu Qian's anger.
As a respected immortal, what would you say if you were being beaten by a ferocious beast?
The celestial sword in his hand flashed, and he struck out with it again.
The eight-headed serpent opened its maw wide, exhaling a mouthful of ochre-colored breath that transformed into a shield.
Unfortunately, the shield was useless against the magic sword. It only managed to briefly obstruct it before shattering into pieces.
Blades of light flashed and struck directly at the head of the eight-headed serpent.
As an ancient monstrous beast, Yamata no Orochi's greatest strengths lie in its offense and defense. Its massive size, however, hampers its speed and agility.
Since the sword was unstoppable and dodging was impossible, with a *plop* sound, a brain flew high into the air.
The immortal was truly powerful. After just a few exchanges, he reduced the eight-headed serpent to seven heads.
On the cruise ship, everyone was dumbfounded. They couldn't figure out who this man was or why he was so powerful after suddenly charging out.
Leng Qingqiu's expression was stern. Although she didn't know Gu Qian, she could tell from his demeanor that he was a xian (immortal) who descended from the Immortal Realm, not unlike Duanmu Ci from before.
In contrast, a celestial being is much harder to deal with than a ferocious beast.
"Roar!"
Yamata no Orochi let out another roar, filled with pain, rage, and terror.
I can't understand why this man in front of me is so ferocious, his strength seems to have surpassed this level completely.
"I give up!"
Although filled with anger, Yamata no Orochi ultimately chose to submit, after all, nothing was more important than survival.
"Who are you? How can you let me go?"

"This..."

Originally, the person was on the same side as him. The eight-headed serpent unconsciously thought so.

"Okay, I'll give it back to you now!"
Nothing is more important than one's own life. The eight-headed serpent opened its mouth, ready to spit Ye Bufan out, but after spitting for a long time, it produced nothing at all.
"This..."
The Eight-Headed Serpent looked completely dumbfounded. As an ancient monster, it could swallow and regurgitate things at will; if it wanted to swallow something, it would, and if it wanted to spit it out, it would.
But now I've been vomiting for a while, and besides some seawater, I haven't brought up anything else.

Where is that young man? Did he get digested so quickly? That doesn't seem right.
If you said the other person ran away, even if you killed it, I wouldn't believe it. It's impossible for a living person to run out of someone's mouth without them noticing at all.
"Beast, you dare to play tricks in front of this Immortal?"
Gu Qian became increasingly enraged. In his eyes, the Eight-Headed Serpent was just toying with him.
I just saw it with my own eyes, that young man was swallowed whole by it. There's no mistake about that.
"I..."
The eight-headed serpent was filled with bitterness, but couldn't explain it.
<"Beast, come at me!" >
Gu Qian let out a furious roar and drew his sword again.
In his view, either the person just now had been digested by this ferocious beast, which was also very possible, after all, the other party was a rare ancient ferocious beast.
Another possibility is that Yamata no Orochi is playing, and doesn't actually want to spit it out.
No matter which one it is, he can't accept it. If it drags on for too long, once the Immortal King's treasure is damaged, a hundred of his heads wouldn't be enough to chop off.
That's why he no longer hesitated and directly killed the ferocious beast.
Although it is merely an inferior grade sword, Xianjian still possesses the status of a divine weapon. With a single strike, it trembles the surrounding space.
"Roar…"
The Yamata no Orochi roared in fury, for as an ancient and fearsome beast known to all, when had it ever suffered such humiliation?
But now he is facing not ordinary cultivators, but genuine immortals. Even in his prime, he was no match for them, let alone now that he is gravely injured.
Moments later, blood flashed again and two large heads flew into the air.
"Roar..."
The Yamata no Orochi let out another roar, its remaining ten eyes blazing with blood-red madness.
It's beaten, it can't run away, it's been driven to a corner.
"This is your fault!"
Knowing full well his impending doom, Yamata no Orochi descended into utter madness.
The fifth head in the middle had a mouth that continuously spat out eight differently colored orbs of light. These were, undoubtedly, its eight inner dantians.
As an ancient ferocious beast, its years of cultivation essence were all concentrated in its inner dan. It is not surprising that eight heads have eight inner dan.
It wasn't over yet, and then another brilliant inner elixir was spit out. This one was larger than the previous eight, about the size of a volleyball.
This guy is truly the pinnacle of ferocious beasts, having cultivated nine inner dantians in one go. Besides the eight inner dantians from his heads, there's also one main inner dantian.
After these nine inner pills emerged, they lined up in a row, with the natal inner pill in the center, radiating endless pressure.
"Damn humans, if you push me any further, we'll both die!"
The Eight-Headed Serpent stared at Gu Qian, its eyes bloodshot, radiating the madness of being cornered.
Having lived for so long, it naturally feared death. But if it truly had to die, no matter what, it would drag someone down with it.
Gu Qian's expression also became severe. He didn't expect this monster to be more terrifying than he imagined, actually cultivating nine inner pills at once.
Now he had no room to retreat, for this concerned the treasures of the Immortal King. Even if it meant risking his life, he would have to fight to retrieve them.
"Damn beast! Die!"
Gu Qian let out a cold snort, and the sword in his hand slashed out again.
"Roar!"
Eight-Headed Serpent let out a howl, but this time it was filled with despair, unlike any before.
Knowing full well it would die, it completely ignored the sword light slashing towards it, instead manipulating nine inner pills and charging at Gu Qian.
Nine inner dantians, like a serpent, quickly encircled him in the center. Then, with a burst of light, they exploded together.
