Chapter 621: Chapter 620: Yamata no Orochi, Nine-Tailed

Dark clouds enveloped the East Sea shore, and giant waves soared to the sky.

The howling wind was fierce, relentlessly beating the coastal cliffs with its waves, as six serpents seemed to connect heaven and earth, their bodies hidden in the sea, their heads buried in the low, dark clouds, with twelve crimson, indifferent eyes flickering in and out of the clouds.

At this moment, the cliff was lined with soldiers from the great Xia, their gazes vigilantly watching the sea creature causing a commotion in the water.

At the forefront was a middle-aged female soldier, with a tall, young woman standing by her side.

"Tsuruta Souseikei, do you wish to provoke a war between our two nations?" the middle-aged woman asked, her voice tinged with anger as she glared at the sea serpent in the water.

A moment later, the monstrous snake head descended from the clouds, and a middle-aged man in a kimono sat cross-legged on top, a katana resting on his thighs, his demeanor exceptionally calm.

"General Wu, this time I come representing the Tsuruta family. Our family has been missing the grace of your land for some time, and my father longs for her return. May I take her back?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jingge smiled slyly, then coldly said, "You think the Tsuruta family is in any position to demand people from my great Xia?"

Tsuruta Souseikei’s face instantly turned ashen, "In that case, I must apologize for the offense!"

"Hiss!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the serpent beneath him let out a hiss, and several water tornados connecting sea and sky gathered, rapidly crashing towards the cliffs.

Wu Jingge nodded to the young woman at his side: "Jiu’er, it’s up to you."

"Yes, sir!" the young woman responded crisply with a military salute. She watched the swiftly approaching water tornados, her body gradually floating in midair.

Boom!

Nine enormous fox tail apparitions unfurled behind her, and as the tails danced, a tremendous surge of energy knocked the towering waves back into the sea, even causing a momentary stall in the water tornados that connected the sea and sky.

In just a breath’s time, the tidy, capable female soldier vanished, replaced by a graceful nine-tailed white fox.

Nine Five-Colored Divine Stones floated beside the white fox’s body, and as it faced the sea monster, it spoke in a human tongue.

"Those who offend great Xia, die!"

...

"Roar!!"

The Iron-eating Demon Beast roared in agony, spewing red flames from its nostrils and mouth, the fire lighting up even the dark void in its eyes. Flames burst out of the armor’s cracks, mixing with purple-black smoke as melted iron flowed out. The liquid metal, sizzling on the dark-red ground, sent twisted wisps of white smoke rising in the searing heat.

Qiuqiu lay in Shao Zifeng’s arms, scrunching up her little face at the sight, confident in her control over fire but admitting she couldn’t reach the level of the Fire Phoenix.

"Caw!"

A crisp bird call pierced the night sky, as the flames on the Iron-eating Demon Beast’s body burst forth explosively. The flames that had been withdrawn from within it converged in midair to form a Fire Phoenix. It flapped its broad wings of flame, looking dispassionately at its former comrade.

After the Fire Phoenix departed its body, the Iron-eating Demon Beast was shrouded in a faint white smoke, shaking violently from pain until it collapsed into the pool of molten iron with a crash, splashing great amounts of red liquid.

"Caw!"

The Fire Phoenix had no intention of stopping; its body’s flames erupted anew, and sparks flew in all directions with each flap of its wings.

Boom!

Seeing this, the Moon Howling Dog’s paws burst with intense elemental fluctuations. The Dragon Rider’s head exploded like a ripe watermelon as the dog appeared instantly before the Iron-eating Demon Beast, preventing the Fire Phoenix from continuing its assault.

The Fire Phoenix cried out in discontent, flames twisting around its body.

The Moon Howling Dog stood firm, refusing to budge from between them.

Whoosh!

The exquisite small folding fan opened up, covering the lower half of Lingling’s face.

"Such powerful flame abilities, if our family had such an incredible partner, Lingling could’ve devoted all her heart to serve the Duke," Lingling said meaningfully, "Don’t you agree, you ugly lizard?"

Qiuqiu’s little paws grasped Shao Zifeng’s clothes, subconsciously nodding its little head, then it seemed to react, and glared fiercely at Lingling.

"Ying ying ying!!"

Lingling was startled for a moment, then closed the fan and with a naughty smile tapped her dainty little chin, "Of course, I am the one who sleeps with the Duke. So as a Dragon Rider, shouldn’t you be more concerned about why you’re not as powerful as others?"

"Ying!!"

The fiery shades danced within Qiuqiu’s golden-red eyes, and sparks started to fly from the corners of its mouth.

Damn brat, not only wanting to sleep with Dan Dan but also daring to say Lord Qiuqiu is weak!

Dan can endure, Qiu cannot.

Shao Zifeng watched them speechlessly, pressing down on Qiuqiu’s little head with his finger, but this did not quench Qiuqiu’s fiery rage as its eyes fiercely ’attacked’ Lingling.

"Yo~"

While they were having a staring contest, a little deer walked over to them. Beibei, who was riding on its back, clutched the ribbons, looking from one to another, finally choosing to continue being dazed.

The deer lowered its head and rubbed Shao Zifeng’s cheek affectionately before looking up at the pitch-black night sky with concern.

Following its gaze toward the night sky, Shao Zifeng thought it was worried about the sudden appearance of the moon, "This is the Moon Howling Dog’s innate ability, ’Dark Night Sky Curtain’ and ’Moon Eating,’ a very strong combination of talents; but they won’t harm us."

At this, Lingling and Qiuqiu temporarily called a truce, both looking up at the night sky.

Beneath Lingling’s black veil, a red light flickered, her little face slowly turning solemn, "Duke, something seems off."

Qiuqiu immediately leaped from Shao Zifeng’s embrace, quickly resuming its normal size, its broad wings unfolded to shield them; its golden-red eyes stared at the night sky while its throat emitted a threatening growl.

Shao Zifeng was taken aback, then frowned.

If it were only the deer, Shao Zifeng might have thought it was detecting the Moon Howling Dog’s talent due to its powerful spiritual power, but with all three little ones becoming so serious, there truly was a problem. He quietly watched the night sky and soon noticed something abnormal.

As time went on, the full moon’s brilliance provided by the Moon Howling Dog grew dimmer, with thin clouds slowly spreading outward and the cloud layer thickening.

Elsewhere, the Moon Howling Dogs also sensed the anomaly, looking up at the imperial city’s night sky.

The night sky grew ever deeper, the bright full moon becoming dull without light, leaving only a circular silhouette.

The entire imperial city was shrouded by oppressive, low-hanging clouds, heavy and dark as if they could crash down at any moment.

The Golden Pond Flood Dragon landed on the ground, its golden eyes watching as the clouds continued to transform, a terrifying aura seemingly brewing.

Crack!

Purple-red lightning streaked across the sky, slithering over accumulating clouds, casting the entire city in an infernal glow.

Lightning followed lightning, with the sound of thunder unceasing, shaking the earth ever so lightly.

The heavy clouds, stirred by the lightning, churned violently and twisted into a funnel shape, the thunderstorm becoming increasingly dense, with purple-red lightning repeatedly striking the towering buildings.

"Roar!"

The Stepping Dragon, whose head had been blown off at some unknown time, had repaired its head and now lay prostrate on the ground devoutly.
