Chapter 706 Sakura Journey (Conclusion)
Seeing the tall figure suddenly appear in the sky, the eyes of the fugitives immediately cast over, and when they saw the figure, they were all somewhat surprised.
The other party seemed to be like an ordinary person.
But it was obvious that the middle-aged man who easily blocked the rotating turtle’s attack was definitely not an ordinary person.
And the Whitebeard, who was watching from afar, suddenly thought of something, and when his gaze fell on the double horns on the middle-aged man’s forehead and his golden eyes, he blurted out:
“This is a pure Yamata no Orochi bloodline. Is he the strongest in the Suzuki Family?”
The appearance of the middle-aged man caused the fleeing crowd to slow down, and they each looked around, seeming to see if a strong person had come to resist the spread of disaster?
Lin Chujiu glanced at Su Ze, who was stunned beside her, pinched her wine-red hair, realized that it was a real event, and muttered to herself:
“Looking at his actions, this person seems to know classmate Su Jiu – Teacher Su Ze, isn’t your Su family really a prestigious noble family? You even know experts of this level.”
“I don’t know… Most likely not.”
Upon hearing this, Su Ze came back to his senses and immediately showed a wry smile, shaking his head, and looking at the “silver small boat”.
If they were really a prestigious noble family, his bloodline wouldn’t just be Ice Cicada, this little cousin might have connections that he wouldn’t even dare to imagine.
“Why does Chen Jia’er know such a person? Will there really be any chance of winning in the subsequent struggle for succession?”
And at the end, Chen Qianyun looked at the scene in front of her with a somewhat ugly expression. It was not as expected that the “silver small boat” would be overturned; on the contrary, the small boat was stopped in mid-air, seeming very stable.
The pirate forces from all sides who had heard the news also stopped in the distance. They originally came with the intention of devouring Whitebeard, but when they found that the rotating turtle was not attacking Whitebeard, they decided to wait and see.
It was also a good opportunity to witness a top-tier battle about to happen.
“Your Excellency is—Yamata no Orochi?”
Looking at the smiling middle-aged man in front of him, Su Jiu could feel the calmness emanating from him. Being able to face a half-walker level without changing his expression was something only the “Venerable Lord” mentioned by Sheqi could do.
He chuckled, and Yamata no Orochi remained smiling: “Exactly, I am here for this blind fellow, and some things need to be settled.”
“Then… do I need to cooperate?”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu blinked and slowly put away the milk bottle in her hand, also breathing a sigh of relief.
Then, her gaze accidentally swept over the rotating turtle in front, and she saw that it was full of apprehension, and even had a vague feeling of wanting to run away.
It was clear that most of what the rotating turtle had said before was just tough talk, and when it truly met its former superior, it was still quite obedient.
“No need, take this.” Yamata no Orochi said with a faint smile, his eyes fell on the gourd at Su Jiu’s waist, he reached out and squeezed, and the gourd was drawn into his palm.
Faced with Yamata no Orochi taking the gourd, Su Jiu felt a little helpless and had some reservations, but she couldn’t possibly stop him, right?
Not to mention that he was helping her, and with her strength, taking it
Yamata no Orochi held the gourd in his left hand and turned around. As he turned, a long sword appeared in his right hand. He scanned the stooped middle-aged man – the rotating turtle – his voice became slightly colder, and he said indifferently:
“In the past, you caused chaos in the sea, and were hunted by humans and demons of the same kind, like a stray dog seeking refuge everywhere, but no one dared to shelter you…”
He paused again, and continued: “It was only because I saw that you still had strength and could play a part in the demon war we initiated, that I took you in. Back then, before you were completely controlled by the Evil Immortal, you showed unprecedented ferocity, massacring countless living beings, which led to us being noticed by my wife Tianzhao in advance.”
Stooping, the rotating turtle listened to these past experiences, and one hand tightly gripped his eyes, letting out a muffled sinister laugh: “Then what does His Majesty plan to do with me? Or will he give a verbal warning like before?”
“No, the thing I regret the most from that year was not eradicating all of you demons with evil intentions. During my period of mental confusion, you used my name to satisfy your personal desires…”
Yamata no Orochi’s eyes flickered with gold. He raised the long sword in his hand, wiped it with two fingers, and gently pressed the body of the sword. His gaze fell on the sword, and his tone became increasingly murderous,
“In the end, it even caused my daughter’s death and the collapse of the then allied forces into two factions. You should all have died in that era.”
“Your Majesty wants to kill me? You are only at the half-walker level now, how can you have the ability to kill me?”
The rotating turtle gripped the giant hammer in his hand, and his face gradually darkened, then he let out a gloomy laugh, and suddenly raised the giant hammer to point forward, stirring up gusts of howling wind, “Old Turtle and I also want the essence blood from Your Majesty’s body…”
“Haha, interesting… Rotating Turtle, do you know why so many walkers were willing to follow me back then?”
Yamata no Orochi suddenly burst into laughter, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. As soon as his voice fell, the long sword in his hand suddenly turned, and his figure rushed out, and a violent explosion echoed in the air.
The rotating turtle subconsciously replied: “Isn’t it because of Izanami…”
“It’s not that my bloodline is high, nor is it that I have any blood relationship with the Shadow Dragon King, but—I am strong enough.”
It was seen that he had already reached the rotating turtle’s front. Yamata no Orochi’s golden eyes shone with dazzling light, and the long sword in his hand was about to be swung down. The sword energy was a thousand feet high, and the light spread to the entire sea area, illuminating the entire dim sky.
The brilliance of the sword energy shone in mid-air like the sun!
“Slash!”
Immediately after, golden and blue law halos suddenly appeared in the sky. Between the large and small, they were not weaker than the rotating turtle’s laws, and even had a crushing momentum. After the sword energy touched the laws, its aura continued to climb.
As it slashed forward, the contained momentum seemed to want to cut through the sea area and the flag and flow like cutting through it.
“Great Serpent Venerable is actually so strong…”
Feeling this divine-like slash, the rotating turtle’s eyes suddenly shrank. In an emergency, he raised the great hammer in his hand, the halo on the hammer lit up, and he raised his hand to meet it.
“Clang!”
As they collided, brilliant light erupted, and the deafening sound of weapons clashing suddenly erupted. A shockwave extending for several kilometers rippled out, and the giant slash even passed over the rotating turtle’s body and directly split towards the sea area in front.
The sea area was actually cut into a huge and incredibly deep trench, and only after a few seconds did the seawater completely smooth out this trench.
“You… how is it possible… so strong?”
The rotating turtle’s body completely stopped in place, his eyes widened as he looked at the middle-aged man in front, his gaze even sliding to Su Jiu’s direction behind him, revealing a hint of disbelief…
“This slash directly pierces heaven and earth.”
Feeling this sword energy, Su Jiu silently compared it with Old Man. She had only seen him make a move once, but it couldn’t reach this level at all, perhaps because he wasn’t trying his best.
But this slash truly made her feel a sense of command above a War God. This feeling was probably something she couldn’t exhibit even if she reached the Beginner War God level.
Alas, she didn’t know if she could get the gourd back.
Yamata no Orochi remained silent, only raising his sword and relentlessly slashing towards its body. Another similar thousand-zhang sword energy appeared, dividing the sea area. Amidst the churning waves, the rotating turtle’s eyes inexplicably dimmed.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, a green light burst out from its body and shot towards the distance at an extremely fast speed, leaving only this hollow corpse suspended in the air.
The corpse emitted a faint white light and began to swell continuously. Yamata no Orochi flickered and appeared beside the rotating turtle, then reached in and squeezed its head instantly. No magic crystal was seen, so he could only shake his head slightly:
“Having lived for hundreds of years, this old turtle is truly cautious. As expected, it’s a substitute fake body, no wonder it dared to be so brazen in the human kingdom.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu and the others were stunned: “Fake body?”
“However, this fake body is also its body before shedding its skin, and it can refine quite a lot of essence.”
With a sigh, he flicked the gourd in his left hand forward, continuously forming seals in his hand, and a huge suction force came from the mouth of the gourd. The fake body of the rotating turtle was continuously sucked into the gourd, which lasted for about half a minute.
After the fake body was completely sucked in, Yamata no Orochi threw the gourd to Su Jiu with his left hand, looked up at the gradually clearing sky, and smiled:
“This is refined into half a pot of turtle bone wine. Your body is not strong enough. Drinking this daily for a month can be equivalent to having the defense of your human S-class Earth Attribute bloodline, which is better than nothing.”
“Tha… Thank you.”
Holding the gourd in her hand, Su Jiu could clearly feel its heaviness. The serpent’s words surprised her a little, but her heart began to get excited. Her only weakness before was being too fragile.
She could heal, but she had the physique of an assassin leaning towards a warrior. With this, her physique would directly lean towards a tank, and she wouldn’t be easily blown up when facing high-intensity enemies as before.
“What’s there to thank…”
Yamata no Orochi waved his hand, his gaze fell on Lin, or rather, on the little fox lying on her head. The latter met his gaze, feeling a little timid.
Lin silently put the little fox into her palm. The latter shrank into a ball, curled up in her palm, and covered its face with its big tail.
“Little fox, you’re still so afraid of me.”
Seeing it curled up, the serpent let out a wry smile and took two steps forward. A few pieces of sakura shortbread appeared in his hand, and he gently tapped the little fox’s head, placing them by its mouth.
“You’ve been guarding the human world for hundreds of years for that woman. The reason started because of me, so I’ll take over your responsibility.”
“Squeak?”
Popcorn heard this, slightly raised its head, picked up a piece of sakura shortbread, and began to eat it in small bites.
“Go, go and witness a more exciting life with Miss Su.”
Seeing Popcorn eating the sakura shortbread, he slowly retracted his hand. At this time, the Sheqi group had already arrived behind him, their aura giving the impression of a underworld king.
“Popcorn is Inari God…”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu suddenly realized that Popcorn might have been fished out of a pile of popcorn by E Huo, and it was very likely that Inari God had reopened an account.
“Miss Su, the previous promise is still valid.”
Yamata no Orochi laughed heartily at Su Jiu, then turned to look at the pirate island in the distance, appearing as if he was about to leave.
Su Jiu nodded silently, but still asked a question. When she got the milk bottle again, she felt confused: “Why did the great serpent’s essence blood fuse with the Shadow Dragon King? And what was that bloodline connection you mentioned…”
“This, well…”
Slightly stunned, Yamata no Orochi waved his hand, and his body disappeared from where he was like an afterimage, leaving behind only a rather carefree sentence.
“She created me, so I have her bloodline.”
