Chapter 588

?Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Yamata no Orochi Shows Off_1 Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Yamata no Orochi Shows Off_1 This was a longsword, a full six feet in length, with a single-edged, narrow body, and a blade that was incomparably sharp, easily capable of cutting hair as though it were air.

Yet what was even more formidable was the blood-colored sword light that seemed to breathe on the blade, filled with a chilling murderous aura, as piercing as a bone-chilling wind.

It must have slain countless people to possess such an intense aura.

The hunchbacked old man’s face was the picture of calm as he reached out, and suddenly, a sword box burst through the window and fell into his hands.

After the longsword was sheathed in the sword box, it was strapped to the old man’s back.

His body gradually stooped as he walked towards the outside of the shrine.

He appeared to be walking with difficulty, but with each step he took, his figure moved over a hundred meters, rushing towards the direction of the battle.

This supernatural ability was eerily similar to the ‘Shrinking Earth into Inches.’
Xu Fan was unaware of the commotion happening in Dongjing City.

After completing the casting of the Sword Light Storm, Xu Fan snorted coldly and activated it, causing the Sword Light Storm to expand rapidly as if in a furious tempest.

Countless sword lights shot out in all directions.

With the terrifying speed of the sword lights, an instant was all it took to cover a large area around Xu Fan.

The power of the sword lights was terrifying, even capable of piercing the void.

Even Shuten-doji, highly adept at hiding, could scarcely remain undisturbed in this situation.

At this moment, Shuten-doji’s heart suddenly pounded with trepidation.

He remembered the last time he felt such palpitations was a thousand years ago, when he was beheaded.

Fortunately, he escaped with a sliver of his soul using a highly ingenious method of deceit; otherwise, he would not have lived to see the present.

Seeing this detestable sensation arise again, could it be…

With this thought, his pupils suddenly contracted, and as the Sword Light Storm approached in the blink of an eye, he decisively revealed his figure from the void, preparing to retreat.

Xu Fan’s Divine Sense had been enveloping this area of the world all along.

The moment Shuten-doji emerged from the void, Xu Fan detected the unusual spatial fluctuations there.

Without hesitation, he used ‘Shrinking Earth into Inches’ to move closer and dashed forth like lightning.

As the focal point of the formation and the storm’s eye, Xu Fan’s movement instantly caused the Sword Light Storm to shift with him.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!

The dreadful myriad of sword lights, slashing across the void, surged towards Shuten-doji.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but feel shocked and dared not delay in the slightest.

Immediately, a thunderous rumble emanated from his abdomen, followed by a dull and grim roar.

Energy within his body frenetically converged, all funneling into the Demon-Slaying Blade; with a lift and drop of his hand, he swung the blade towards Xu Fan in a sequence of twenty slashes.

Each slash released a blade Qi that “hissed” as it ignited, with black flames leaping about, encompassing terrifying power, all rushing towards the Sword Light Storm.

An incessant clanging sound broke out in no time.

On one side were countless sword lights, and on the other were ferocious black-flamed blade Qis colliding together, resulting in massive explosions that shook the entire sky.

The sword Qi and blade Qi that escaped were like stray bullets, shooting in all directions, each filled with astonishing power.

For a time, countless mountains were destroyed, and huge clouds were blasted apart.

After a series of collisions, the energy at the center of the collision accumulated to a terrifying extent, beyond containment, and burst like a dam breaking open.

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, an energy explosion occurred.

In this attack, Xu Fan noted that the enemy’s energy was immensely vast, seemingly infinite.

Each blade Qi could destroy four or five of his sword lights before its energy was depleted.

Shuten-doji too was greatly alarmed, for the number of the opponent’s sword lights was incalculable.

Nearly a hundred were nullified by his blade Qi, but to no avail; a large number of sword lights were still shooting towards him.

“Not bad, you have some skill.

Fine, it’s time for me to show my true ability,” Shuten-doji said as he retreated far away, putting away the Demon-Slaying Blade and taking out another item.

He cradled a spherical object in his palm, roughly the size of a chicken egg, yet it was pitch black.

Under the moonlight, however, it was crystal clear, resembling a black gemstone.

Inside the sphere, something writhed.

When he extracted the object, it unexpectedly caused a disturbance in the heavens and earth, with thunder and lightning manifesting.

It seemed that this aspect of the heavens was alarmed by the object.

Xu Fan also looked over with a serious expression, only to find that it was the inner core of a mythical beast.

And judging by the aura and the energy it exuded, the owner of the inner core, that mythical beast, was at least at the level of a Demon Ancestor.

Xu Fan even felt that if this beast were alive, he would stand no chance against it and could only run for his life.

For a moment, he was filled with doubt.

How could such a powerful mythical beast exist on Sea Blue Star, and how did Shuten-doji obtain it?

“Dragon Soul released, heavens and earth tremble!”
Shuten-doji burst out shouting, and immediately manipulated the mythical beast’s inner core to float in front of him while his free hands rapidly formed seals, finally pointing with one hand.

The inner core of the mythical beast trembled violently and incessantly as if the creature within was awakened by it, emitting dragon-like roars that pierced through the wilderness, startling even Xu Fan into changing his complexion.

Because, although it wasn’t the chant of a True Dragon, it was indeed the sound of a Flood Dragon, just one step away from transforming into a dragon.

This beast must have belonged to the python or snake variety, but when undergoing its Tribulation Transcendence to transform into a dragon, it couldn’t withstand the heavenly tribulation and was struck dead.

However, since the transformation of the python-like mythical beast into a dragon wasn’t fully complete, only missing one step, its inner core was impregnated with traces of Dragon Spirit.

This was precisely the point that startled Xu Fan.

While Xu Fan hesitated for a moment, a spatial fluctuation occurred in front of the mythical beast’s inner core.

From within the fluctuation, a huge and ferocious pitch-black dragon head emerged.

The gaping maw unleashed a roar that shook the heavens and earth at Xu Fan.

The latter half of the dragon’s body also squeezed out from the space within the inner core.

It was a Flood Dragon’s body, covered with black scales, lacking legs and claws, and with an exceptionally short tail.

It was evident that the transformation was incomplete, but its aura was imposing and vast, as though it could pressure the heaven and earth.

After the black Flood Dragon revealed itself, its body rolled and tumbled, yet its gaze remained coldly fixed on Xu Fan.

“Kill!”
Following a command from Shuten-doji, the black Flood Dragon opened its mouth and lunged towards Xu Fan, colliding solidly with the raging storm of Sword Qi along its path.

Black Flood Dragon on a rampage!

Sword Qi shot out!

An enormous explosion of energy ensued, energy gushing in all directions, carrying the might to Destroy Heaven and Earth.

The mountains and forests below were severely damaged, with several mountaintops being sheared off and collapsing.

The storm of Sword Qi only held up for a few seconds before being completely destroyed by the black Flood Dragon.

Xu Fan had no choice but to hurriedly retreat, avoiding the black Flood Dragon’s assault, and his own aura showed signs of a chaotic fluctuation.

?0??0.??

“How about that, Yan Country brat?”
Seeing Xu Fan injured, Shuten-doji couldn’t help feeling triumphant.

For the moment, he stopped attacking and taunted him instead.

“Is that all?

Do you really think you’ve won?

Hmph, nothing more than the remaining spirit of a beast that doesn’t even qualify as a Flood Dragon.
