Chapter 2599 The Great Wilderness Territory VS The Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python (Part 2)
The slaying of Yamata no Orochi will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the Eastern Kingdom, causing its national fortunes to plummet in the short term. However, with Yamata no Orochi's demise, the damage to the Eastern Kingdom will be significantly reduced, potentially altering the course of its Warring States period.

However, after a moment's thought, Lin Mu felt relieved.

Without the Yamata no Orochi's behind-the-scenes maneuvering, would the rulers of those dozens of vassal states really have ceased hostilities, or even peacefully negotiated to establish the Kingdom of Japan? Impossible… The Yamata no Orochi's role had already been fulfilled. He supported so many families, enabling them to establish vassal states centered around clans, with only one purpose: to contend!
The various clans would vie for the supreme position in the land, for immense fortune, and for their families to stand at the pinnacle of Eastern Japan. Therefore, even without the Yamata no Orochi, the Warring States period would likely continue. The clan struggles would not cease, and perhaps even more devastating wars would erupt in the struggle to unify the islands!

"You should have sensed it by now, my advisors don't agree with my withdrawal," Lin Mu said calmly as he turned around.

"As expected! This tribulation is not so easy to overcome..." Yamata no Orochi said quietly, not surprised by the result.

His voice echoed in everyone's ears, but before it could dissipate, a sharp killing intent suddenly enveloped Lin Mu.

"Watch out!" Lin Mu exclaimed, and without hesitation, rolled sharply to the side.

"Screech!!!" At that moment, a piercing sound rang out.

Where Lin Mu had just stood, a strange sword pierced through the stone slab from bottom to top, revealing an extremely sharp tip.

The strange sword flashed suddenly and continued its attack on Lin Mu. Its target was solely Lin Mu!
The Kusanagi Sword!

Lin Mu saw from the fleeting light that the sword was none other than the Kusanagi Sword.

That mysterious figure had previously used this sword to cause trouble for Dian Wei. After he was dissolved by the power of heaven and earth, the Kusanagi Sword burrowed into the ground of the sacrificial plaza.

Its reappearance this time is clearly due to being manipulated by Yamata no Orochi.

What deal did Yamata no Orochi and that mysterious figure make at the last moment?
"Boom!~~~" At this moment, an explosion was heard, and the ground where the sword was standing suddenly exploded, revealing a huge snake body that followed the sword.

"Clang!~~" Just as the Kusanagi Sword was about to strike Lin Mu, a long sword was drawn from below and directly blocked the flying Kusanagi Sword.

Everyone scattered, remaining vigilant.

Only then did everyone realize that what was wielding that long sword was actually a snake's tail!
Or rather, the Kusanagi Sword actually served as the snake's tail, with its connecting parts glued together.

Lin Mu thought that the legendary Kusanagi Sword was obtained from the tail of the Yamata no Orochi, but he never expected that the Kusanagi Sword grew directly from the tail of the Yamata no Orochi.

Although this tail sword has not yet become a true national treasure, its power should not be underestimated. The Kusanagi sword clashed fiercely with Huang Zhong, their sword shadows flashing and their cold light radiating. Each collision produced a crisp sound and sparks. Huang Zhong, experienced and with fierce swordsmanship, managed to fight the Kusanagi sword to a standstill for a time.

It should be noted that at this moment, the aura of the Yamata no Orochi has surged to the peak of the Nine-Yuan Divine General!

"Ha!~" After parrying the longsword with his broadsword, Huang Zhong roared angrily. Then, he suddenly drew his sword backhand and slashed upwards from his back, aiming at the snake body behind the longsword.

However, as if the snake's body had eyes, it suddenly shrank in a strange, soft-bodied way, creating a hollow that caused the divine blade to miss its target.

After that, the two clashed repeatedly. The Yamata no Orochi's tail was always extremely agile; whenever Huang Zhong tried to cut it off, it could easily evade his attacks.

"Dao Jiu, this sword is similar to that mysterious figure's sword. It must have been that guy who threw the sword into the sea of ​​blood in the heart of the Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python, causing a mutation, but it still doesn't feel like a national treasure..." Xi Zhicai's voice rang in Lin Mu's ears.

“That’s it! But I don’t know why it still doesn’t have the power of a national treasure… It seems to be just an offensive weapon.” Lin Mu was also a little puzzled.

"Just ask Orochi!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Yamata no Orochi, your tail sword must be the national treasure of Japan, right?" Lin Mu shouted.

"Clang! Clang!~~~" As they spoke, the longsword, under his control, fought back and forth with Huang Zhong.

"Hmph! It was born too early... It hasn't become a true national treasure yet." Yamata no Orochi was frank and gave the answer directly.

really……

Lin Mu suddenly realized.

"Give me this sword and fulfill my previous conditions, and I will immediately withdraw from Mount Fuji!" Lin Mu shouted.

"Impossible!!!" Upon hearing Lin Mu's words, Orochi rejected the idea without even thinking.

"It's just a national treasure of Japan, and it's still unfinished. It's not important to you, is it? You don't even value the [Yata Mirror] much, leaving it casually in a small country..." Lin Mu continued loudly.

"Hmph! What do you know... I didn't agree to any of those guys' offers to me." The Yamata no Orochi sneered.

Sure enough... those mysterious guys really did communicate with Yamata no Orochi.

"Dao Jiu, ask it if this sword is related to its life and fortune..." Guo Jia's voice suddenly rang in Lin Mu's ears.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu immediately understood Guo Jia's meaning and asked loudly, "Is this sword connected to your life and fortune? Is it the key to your return home? Is it the crucial item for Yingzhou Mountain?"

Lin Mu broadened the scope of the question even further.

However, Orochi did not answer Lin Mu's question. "Hmph... This sword was forged from my own blood and divine bones, of course it's important. To control this sword is to control me. How could I give it to you..." After a long pause, Orochi finally answered the question.

“So that’s how it is… It’s not just your life and fortune, it also embodies the destiny of Yingzhou Mountain, no wonder it’s so important…” Lin Mu said with a sudden realization.

"Of course... no... it didn't bless the mountain's fortune!" The Yamata no Orochi realized its mistake and stammered.

"Hmph! Fool... Let me take control of this body!" At this moment, a rather sinister voice rang out.

The voice was still that of Yamata no Orochi, but the tone and the emotions in the words were completely different.

"The previous one was the true voice of the Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python, and the one after that is your voice, Orochi... Your body and spirit have been separated for too long, and they have already undergone changes." Lin Mu's voice, which seemed to control everything, rang out again.

"As expected of the number one lord of the supernatural beings... That fool still wanted to seek that sliver of hope, but that sliver of hope was entirely in your hands. With your temperament, would you let it go? Impossible... So all its efforts were in vain."

"Only by truly devouring you will everything be resolved. What more needs to be said! Prepare to die!" the Yamata no Orochi roared.

The next moment, the sky suddenly turned black, and a dark shadow ten times larger than the sacrificial square suddenly attacked.

It was a snake with a snake's head and body, and it swept across the room, trying to wipe out Lin Mu and the others.

However, Lin Mu and his companions were no pushovers. As the enormous snake attacked, everyone exerted their strength and directly clashed head-on with the snake.

"Boom!!!" After a series of dazzling lights flashed, terrifying collision energy surged outwards, stirring up gusts of wind in the sky.

Looking down, one could see the snake's body sweeping directly towards the sacrificial plaza. After sweeping halfway, it seemed to encounter some obstacle and was bounced away.

"Boom!!!" The enormous recoil caused the entire mountain to tremble again.

As the energy ripples dissipated, Lin Mu and the others stood unharmed in the sacrificial plaza.

Lin Mu remained calm, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and said indifferently, "Orochi, is this all you've got?"

Lin Mu did not immediately unleash his ultimate move, but waited for the Yamata no Orochi to transform... Killing a Yamata no Orochi at the level of a Nine-Yuan Divine General and killing a Yamata no Orochi at the level of a Heavenly General are completely different things!

"Gentlemen, this Yamata no Orochi is enormous. We cannot simply defend without attacking," Guo Jia said loudly, as if afraid the Yamata no Orochi wouldn't hear him.

"Hansheng, continue to hold back the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi. The rest of you, look for an opportunity to attack the Yamata-no-Orochi's main body!"

"Our goal is to cut off all its heads," Xun You said loudly, stating his tactics directly in front of the Yamata no Orochi.

"Alright, let's split up... one person for each head!" Dian Wei shouted.

Everyone responded enthusiastically and took action.

Dian Wei brandished his twin halberds and roared as he charged toward the head of the serpent's body, which had just attacked the Yamata no Orochi.

He suddenly leaped up, transforming into a streak of blood-red light, and flew onto the enormous snake's body. Then, he climbed up as if walking on flat ground.

Before long, Dian Wei, who had been like an ant on an elephant's body, disappeared.

Zhao Yun, wielding a white spear, vanished in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already beside the snake that Dian Wei had been fighting. Then, he flashed again, appearing on top of the snake. After using several more flashes, Zhao Yun finally crossed over the snake's body and landed on another snake.

The Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python is truly enormous. So far, Lin Mu and the others can no longer see the python's heads, only part of its body.

Dian Wei and Zhao Yun left, and Guo Jia and the other two also left.

Guo Jia and his two companions leaped directly down from the sacrificial plaza, where a snake-like body was surging below them.

The three approached the snake and smelled an overwhelmingly strong, fishy stench, mixed with the scents of grass and gravel...

Beneath the faint yellow mist, the decaying scales seemed to gradually regain their luster...

The three exchanged a glance, then each chose a direction and left.

"Bang!~~~~~" At this moment, a violent collision sound began to appear in the sky.

It is clear that Dian Wei has already fought against the Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python.

Only Huang Zhong and Lin Mu remained in the sacrificial plaza. Huang Zhong was dealing with the Kusanagi Sword.

Lin Mu, however, was in no hurry; he was still waiting.
