Chapter 167: Yamata no Orochi's Turn
As soon as this monster with eight heads and eight tails appeared, it instantly attracted the attention of all the Sakura ghosts.

Because this demon god is very famous in Sakura, it is the strongest demon god in Sakura legend, Yamata no Orochi.

Yamata no Orochi, also known as Yamata Enrochi and Yamata Enrochi.

According to the records of "Kojiki" and "Sakura Shoki", the Yamata-no-Orochi has eight heads and eight tails, and can fill eight valleys and eight hills. This is the origin of the name.

Its eyes are like red lantern fruits, its body is covered with moss, cypress and fir, and its belly is always bloody, as if it is eroded.

It came from Takashi to Izumo, and every year it would eat a girl as a sacrifice. At this time, Susanoo was exiled from Takamagahara. He asked for the old couple's daughter, Kiinadahime, as his wife. He got the Yamata no Orochi drunk with wine, killed it, and found the Kusanagi sword (one of the three sacred treasures) at its tail.

None of the Sakura ghosts had expected that the soul of the Yamata no Orochi was sealed inside the Tenjoukumo sword.

It is more like a ghost than a soul. The Yamata no Orochi is not completely dead. His soul is actually attached to this Tiancongyun sword.

Kamo Michiichi looked at the domineering snake he summoned, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

That’s right, this is the real secret of the Tiancongyun Sword.

Back then, the Sakura God Susanoo killed Master Yaqi and obtained the Tenchōgū sword from his tail.

At that time, Susanoo cut off the eight heads of the Yamata-no-Orochi and thought that the demon snake was dead, so he took the Tenjou-no-Kuro sword back to Takama-ga-hara.

However, no one expected that the Yamata no Orochi was not dead at that time.

He secretly attached his soul to the Tiancongyun Sword and hid in the sword, escaping the sight of all the gods of Gao Tianyuan.

Later, the Tenzokumo sword was brought down from Takama-ga-hara and finally fell into the hands of the Kamo family and was guarded by the Kamo family.

Only the Yamata no Orochi hiding in the Tencongyun Sword dared to reveal its voice.

The first person to discover this secret was an ancestor of the Kamo family. That ancestor was defeated in a duel with the enemy and almost died at the hands of others. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he used the Yamata-no-Orochi in the Tenzang Sword to help the ancestor of the Kamo family kill the enemy.

Later, the ancestor discovered the secret of the Tiancongyun Sword and was willing to support the Yamata no Orochi.

Since then, the Kamo family has guarded this secret from generation to generation, and every once in a while, they secretly use the hearts of boys and girls to offer to the Tenjou Sword to help the Yamata no Orochi regain its strength.

At the beginning, Yamata no Orochi could only use his strength through fitness, but now, after thousands of years of worship by the Kamo family, Yamata no Orochi can directly separate his true ghost body from the Tencongyun Sword and fight the enemy on his own.

However, the power of Yamata no Orochi is growing stronger and stronger, and the cost of his attack each time is getting higher and higher. Now he is willing to attack only when the heart of a direct descendant of the Kamo family is offered as an offering.

However, no one in the Kamo family dared to object, because they knew that the Yamata-no-Orochi was originally an evil god, and there was nothing they could do about it.

However, the power of the Yamata no Orochi is indeed strong, and their Kamo family cannot do without the help of this power, so both sides are in a mutually beneficial relationship.

Just like now, Kamo Michiichi wants to kill the Four Seas Dragon Kings, he must use the power of the Yamata no Orochi to do it, so he is willing to sacrifice his heart at this moment.

Below, countless cameras captured the true form of the Yamata no Orochi.

Countless little ghosts inside the entire cherry blossom were boiling with excitement.

With the Tenchuuyun Sword and the Yamata-no-Orochi, this wave of buffs is considered to be fully stacked.

After all, no matter which one of them is taken alone, it can make the whole Sakura crazy, let alone the two together.

The Tian Congyun Sword is the first sword of Sakura and the first of the three sacred weapons.

The Yamata no Orochi is the number one demon god of Sakura and the strongest demon!
At this moment the two become one.

"Yoshi, I didn't expect Kamo Michiichi to have such a trick up his sleeve!"

"I thought I would lose. I was scared to death. I didn't expect that the summoned Yamata-no-Okami would win for sure."

"Master Longhu thought he could win just by summoning the Four Seas Dragon Kings? Let's see what he will do now. Their Dragon Country has the Four Seas Dragon Kings, and we in Sakura also have the Yamata no Okami! They are no weaker than you!"

"If you don't summon Yamata no Okami, you really think that we Sakura have no gods, right?"

When Sakura netizens saw the Yamata no Orochi, their self-confidence inexplicably skyrocketed.

At this moment, they were very excited to see the Yamata no Orochi, especially when they saw the eight heads on its head. In their eyes, that was a symbol of powerful strength.

With 8 heads, I can swallow 8 dragons one at a time. The opponent's Four Dragon Kings only have 4 dragons, so the advantage is mine!
In Longguo’s live broadcast room, countless netizens were also discussing the Yamata no Orochi.

"My goodness, is that the Yamata no Orochi from the Sakura legend? It does look disgusting."

"Eight heads, eight tails, what kind of mutant is this? Do Sakura and her gang really think they can defeat the Four Seas Dragon Kings with just this snake?"

"I heard before that the Yamata no Orochi of Sakura seemed to be the ancient god Xiangliu from our side who ran over? Could this snake be Xiangliu?"

"If it's Xiangliu, then maybe he really has the ability to compete with the Four Seas Dragon Kings..."

Someone in the live broadcast room was talking about Xiangliu. There are many folk legends that the Yamata no Orochi on the Sakura side is a demon god who escaped from Xiangliu, a great god in ancient times of the Dragon Kingdom and turned into a demon god.

However, as soon as these comments started to circulate in the live broadcast room, someone came out to refute the rumors.

"Don't be ridiculous. What Xiangliu? Yamata no Orochi? I can tell you clearly that these two are not the same creature at all."

"Indeed, Yamata no Orochi, please don't try to offend Master Xiangliu. Does he deserve it?"

Then someone started to popularize the science in the live broadcast room. It is true that there are many online marketing accounts in Dragon Country today saying that the Yamata no Orochi is the great god Xiangliu in the ancient mythology and legend of Dragon Country, but in fact this is wrong.

What does Xiangliu look like?
The original text of the Classic of Mountains and Seas records it as follows: "Xiang Liu has nine heads with human faces and a green snake body."

Xiang Liu has nine heads with human faces, and the body of a long green snake.

Xiangliu was originally a minister under the water god Gonggong. Later, the water god Gonggong was defeated by the fire god Zhurong and fled to the northwest wilderness north of Kunlun Mountain. As his loyal subordinate, Xiangliu also followed him to the wilderness.

His nine heads ate food on nine mountains. Wherever Xiangliu went, it turned into swamps and streams.

The Yamata no Orochi has eight heads and eight tails, its body is covered with festering rot, and its appearance is obviously different.

The cause of Xiangliu's death is also recorded in "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas North Classic".

"Gonggong's minister was called Xiangliu, who had nine heads and lived on nine mountains. Where Xiangliu reached, there were marshes and streams. Yu killed Xiangliu, and the blood was so pungent that grains could not be planted there. Yu dug the land three ren and three dams, and built it into a platform for the emperors. It is located to the north of Kunlun and to the east of Rouli. Xiangliu has nine heads and human faces, and a snake body that is green. He dared not shoot northward, for he was afraid of Gonggong's platform. The platform is to the east. On the four sides of the platform, there is a snake in the corner, with the color of a tiger, and its head facing south."

This means that according to legend, the water it sprays out is more powerful than a flood, bitter and spicy, and will kill you if you eat it.

Therefore, even animals could not survive in such a swamp. When Yu saw Xiangliu was so rampant, he used his divine power to kill Xiangliu and eliminate the harm to the people.

The blood from Xiangliu's body caused no crops to grow once it touched the land, and polluted a large area.

Dayu tried to block the river with mud, but three of the three passes collapsed. Dayu had no choice but to split the land into a pond, and the gods from all directions built a high platform beside the pond.

In other words, Xiangliu's end was that his body was built into the Five Emperors' Terrace, and there is no record of Xiangliu being beheaded and escaping to the cherry blossoms. Xiangliu was killed by Dayu, and Yamata no Orochi was killed by Susanoo. They did not die at the hands of the same person, so how could they be the same monster?
In addition, from a symbolic point of view, Xiangliu means poisonous swamp, and Yamata no Orochi means iron veins. If we try to link the rotten and bleeding belly of Yamata no Orochi with the poisonous swamp, it would not only be far-fetched, but also simply specious.

In the Dragon Country live broadcast room: "So, don't flatter Yamata no Orochi anymore. If Xiangliu was still alive, he could eat Yamata no Orochi in one bite. How can he be compared with the great god Xiangliu?"

At this moment, the Yamata no Orochi had swallowed Kamo Michiichi's heart and had awakened from its slumber.

It first looked down at Kamo Michiichi who was sacrificing his heart below.

The eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi spoke in human language at the same time: "Mortals of the Kamo family, what do you want to summon me for? Tell me, you have sacrificed your heart, and if you have any enemies you want to kill, just tell me, and I can help you solve them."

This Yamata no Orochi asked Kamo Doichi.

The next second, Kamo Daoyi pointed at the Four Dragon Kings in the sky.

"Yakitaka-no-kami, go and kill those dragons."

Yamata no Orochi looked in the direction that Kamodo pointed.

Then he saw the four real dragons in the sky.

For a moment, Yamata no Orochi suspected that he was dreaming.

At this moment, its eight heads stared wide-eyed at the four dragon kings in the sky.

dragon?
Am I seeing things right? Are there creatures like dragons on this blue planet?

The Yamata no Orochi widened his eyes and counted the number of claws on the four dragon claws.

Five claws per capita?

A five-clawed real dragon, and four of them, each one is at the level of a dragon king?

Yamata no Orochi was confused.

You summoned me to fight the Dragon King?
Its scalp was tingling. Although the Yamata-no-Orochi had been worshipped by the Kamo family for so many years, to be honest, it had done its best for the Kamo family. It had helped the Kamo family eliminate countless enemies over the past thousands of years.

So this is how you treat me?
You say I am an evil god? Look for yourselves, who is more evil?

I fight the Four Seas Dragon Kings? You guys can come up with that.

At this moment, Yamata no Orochi felt that his eight brains were not enough.

It's a bit unclear.

Even when I was at my most rampant and vicious, I never provoked the Four Dragon Kings of the Dragon Kingdom!
What's going on? You humans are even more vicious than I was when I was at my most rampant?

It couldn't figure out how these humans from the Kamo family had offended the Four Dragon Kings?
If the Yamata no Orochi is allowed to deal with other people, such as other ghosts and gods of cherry blossoms, Zashiki-warashi, Kappa, Kaido, Nine-tailed Fox, etc.

The Yamata no Orochi didn't even frown, because those guys together were no match for it.

But any one of these four dragon kings can be chopped off its eight heads ten thousand times.

How to fight this?
Before, Kamo Doichi asked Kaido to solo the Four Sea Dragon Kings, which was equivalent to asking Benboba to kill Master Tang Seng.

Now Kamo Michiichi asked the Yamata no Orochi to kill the Four Seas Dragon Kings, which is almost the same as asking Xiao Zuanfeng to kill Sun Wukong.

Yamata no Orochi was about to vomit.

Do you think I can beat him?

Yamata no Orochi's inner thoughts: If I practice for another ten thousand years, maybe I will have a chance to transform into a dragon. After becoming a dragon, if I practice for another ten thousand years, maybe I will have a chance to become a real dragon.

However, even if one becomes a true dragon and practices for another 10 years, one may not necessarily have the chance to become the Dragon King.

So, you want me to fight the Dragon King now?

I'm in the Novice Village, and you want me to fight the BOS, right?

When Yamata no Orochi came out, he was full of confidence, but now he is as confused as can be.

Back then, Susanoo had to rely on wine and sneak attacks to kill the Yamata-no-Orochi, but now for the Four Seas Dragon Kings to kill him is no different from strangling a worm.

Without saying a word, the Yamata no Orochi turned around and attacked Kamo Michiichi.

The eight heads on its head opened their bloody mouths and swallowed Kamo Michi in one gulp.

This scene was extremely bloody. He first bit off Kamo Michiichi's head in front of everyone, and then ate him alive in two bites.

At this moment, everyone couldn't believe their eyes and couldn't understand why things turned out like this?

Even the netizens in Long Country were stunned.

"What the hell? Why?"

"Isn't that Yamata no Orochi a demon god summoned by Kamo Michiichi? How could it suddenly turn against its own side and kill its own master? I don't quite understand this."

"I fucking thought I was going to see a battle between the Yamata no Orochi and the Four Seas Dragon Kings, but I didn't expect this snake to turn against us in the middle of a battle?"

"I never thought that Kamo Michiichi didn't die at the hands of the Heavenly Master, nor at the hands of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, but at the hands of the Yamata no Orochi that he summoned for him. It's too outrageous."

Sakura was also confused.

"What? Daoyi was eaten by Yamata no Orochi? Who is this Yamata no Orochi in league with?"

"Kamo Michikazu is dead? How is that possible?"

Not only Sakura was confused, but Kamo Shinizumi of the Kamo family was also dumbfounded.

He watched his son die tragically in the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi.

He roared: "Son!!!"

"Yamata no Orochi! Why did you kill my son?"

After all, Kamo Michiichi is Kamo Shinizumi's biological son, and Kamo Shinizumi also expects Kamo Michiichi to take over his position.

No one expected that Kamo Michiichi would die here today, and at the hands of the Yamata no Orochi.

This Yamata-no-Orochi had been worshipped by the Kamo family for thousands of years, but now it has turned against them. Kamo Shinizumi rushed directly to the Yamata-no-Orochi to ask for an explanation.
