Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

Having understood the whole story, the last trace of pity in Qin Quan's eyes completely vanished, leaving him as gloomy as a deep, cold abyss.

His icy gaze swept over every fisherman on the deck, chilling them to the bone.

"Old Taoist, throw them all into the sea."

"good!"

Once the order is given, there is no room for doubt.

Zhang Qingshun had long disliked these people.

As soon as he finished speaking, he became a blur and rushed straight into the crowd.

With his cultivation at the Martial King realm, he could easily crush hundreds of ordinary fishermen without breaking a sweat.

Bang bang bang!

The crisp, clear sounds of striking rang out one after another, without the slightest hesitation.

Despite their large numbers, they didn't even have a chance to react in front of King Wu. They were blown away by a tremendous force and fell into the sea like dumplings, splashing water everywhere.

In just a few minutes, nearly a hundred fishing boats were completely emptied.

The noisy sea instantly quieted down, and among the entire fleet, only Qin Quan, Zhang Qingshun, and Ye Qiu stood on the deck of the main ship.

The fishermen, soaked in the water, were both angry and afraid. They thrashed about, looking up at the deck and shouting curses wildly, their anger palpable.

"How dare you disrupt the Dragon King's festival! You're courting death!"

"Having offended the Dragon King, no one will leave this sea alive today!"

"Dragon King, please forgive us! It's not that we haven't tried our best, but these two outsiders have been obstructing us. We beg you, Dragon King, to show your power and take them away!"

The sounds of ignorant cries and curses rose and fell, disturbing everyone's peace of mind.

Qin Quan, too lazy to waste words with these stubborn fools, raised his wrist to reveal his smartwatch, activated the Hidden Dragon System, and said coldly:

"Xiao Yi, contact the war department and dispatch personnel to completely seal off this sea area and bring all the fishermen involved back for thorough investigation. This group has been using human sacrifices under the guise of rituals for many years, and their hands are definitely stained with many lives."

"The order has been issued. The Third Fleet of the War Department will immediately rush to the scene and is expected to arrive within thirty minutes."

After Xiao Yi recovered, Qin Quan put away his watch, looked down at the group of fishermen on the sea, and felt nothing but endless regret.

They are the poorest and most vulnerable people in the Dragon Kingdom, ignorant and easily misled.

If it were a foreign villain or a bloodthirsty tycoon, he would have killed them with a single sword stroke for the atrocity of this human sacrifice, and would not have allowed them to make a fuss here.

He turned to look at Ye Qiu, who was trembling, and softened his tone.

"Assistant Ye, are you feeling better?"

Ye Qiu's face was pale, and he nodded slightly.

"Much better, Mr. Qin."

She pieced together the blank moments from her unconsciousness, combined with the fishermen's shouts and curses, to reconcile the truth.

She almost became someone else's sacrifice.

If Qin Quan had arrived a moment later, she would have already perished in the deep sea, her remains never to be found.

A chill of fear seeped into her limbs, and cold sweat soaked her clothes, making her shiver uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Qin Quan casually took out a clean coat from his treasure bag and gently draped it over her shoulders to shield her from the sea breeze and chill.

"You should sit comfortably in the cabin and wait for the combat personnel to arrive. Then cooperate with them to explain the whole story clearly. Including your friend luring you on the trip, the specific location and details of when you fainted, please give a truthful account."

"I see."

Ye Qiu obediently sat in the cabin, hugged his knees tightly, buried his face in them, and was filled with fear, unable to calm down for a long time.

The chaos continues on the sea.

These fishermen are seasoned seafarers with excellent swimming skills. They are as comfortable as if they were standing on flat ground in the sea, completely unaffected.

Some people frantically shook the boat, attempting to capsize it in retaliation;

Some people had bloodshot eyes and looked as if they were possessed, muttering obscure and incomprehensible curses in their dialect.

Some people even prayed frantically, hoping that the so-called Dragon King would appear and punish them.

Suddenly, something strange happened.

Splash!

A strong wind arose, and huge waves surged, causing the entire fishing boat to rock and sway violently.

In the previously empty sea ahead, three hazy giant shadows slowly emerged from the water, gradually solidifying like a mirage. These were none other than the three immortal islands of Penglai, hidden for thousands of years.

The celestial phenomena changed dramatically in an instant.

The clear blue sky was suddenly overcast with dark clouds, and a violent, oppressive force swept across the entire sea.

Deep within the thick clouds, an enormous, pitch-black shadow moved about, stirring up the wind and clouds, its power terrifying.

Upon seeing this, the fishermen in the sea showed no fear; instead, they bowed and prostrated themselves in the water, shouting loudly.

"The Dragon King has appeared! He really has appeared!"

"Hahaha! These two troublesome outsiders are doomed to die today!"

Qin Quan stared coldly ahead, a chilling smile curving his lips.

Utterly ignorant idiot!

The black dragon's divine miracles, which stirred up storms in the eyes of mortals, were completely exposed under his divine sense.

It was a giant monster with eight heads and eight tails, and an ugly and ferocious appearance; it was not a divine dragon at all.

Zhang Qingshun, a Taoist cultivator standing to the side, was able to see through illusions and delusion. He had already seen the true form of the demon beast and, with a solemn expression, whispered a reminder.

"Mr. Qin, this demon is quite powerful and has a mysterious background. We must be careful."

"This is what we came here for."

Qin Quan stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the boat, his expression calm, but his eyes were full of sharpness.

"Someone forcibly tore open the Penglai concealment array, revealing the immortal island to the world. It may seem like a natural disaster, but in fact, it just happened to suit our wishes."

Zhang Qingshun sighed softly, his voice filled with regret.

"If these fishermen knew that the dragon they have worshipped for generations is actually the Yamata no Yamata no Yamata, the monster that wreaked havoc on the world in Japanese legend, what would they think?"

"It's a demon causing trouble; there's no need for further words. Just kill it."

Qin Quan said calmly.

Penglai Island is filled with demonic energy, and extraterrestrial demons have occupied this place for thousands of years. Now, the Yamata no Orochi has appeared in the world. The whole thing must be inextricably linked to the extraterrestrial demonic forces.

He faced the surging black clouds and the giant shadow within them, his voice shaking the sea as he fiercely rebuked them.

"You wicked beast, this is the Penglai Secret Realm of the Dragon Kingdom! How dare you, a demon from Japan, run rampant here! I will give you three breaths to leave on your own, and I will let bygones be bygones. If you dare to resist, I will kill you without mercy!"

"Hehehe!"

A piercing and eerie laugh echoed through the heavens and earth. From within the dark clouds, the Yamata no Orochi spoke in human language, its demonic aura soaring to the sky and its malevolent energy raging.

"How dare you, mere mortals, speak to me like this? You have ruined my grand plan. Today, I will tear you to pieces and drown you in the sea, so that you may never be reincarnated."

The terrifying demonic power crashed down like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, causing the entire sea surface to suddenly sink several inches.

The wind howled, and the waves froze.

The fishing boat at Qin Quan's feet could not withstand the weight and sank rapidly, becoming extremely dangerous.

Hundreds of fishermen in the sea were suppressed by this terrifying pressure, their bodies stiffened and they sank into the water, finding it extremely difficult to even lift their heads to breathe.

"court death!"

Qin Quan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he hooked his fingertip!

Clang!

A clear sword cry tore through the sky, and the Pure Yang Sword suddenly flew out, its righteous energy sweeping in all directions.

The illusion barrier that the Yamata no Orochi had built with a century of cultivation was utterly vulnerable in the face of the Pure Yang Sword Qi.

It crumbled into pieces and vanished without a trace!

The overwhelming demonic power was forcibly torn apart and dissipated by the sword energy, and the terrifying pressure that had been suppressing everyone was instantly lifted.

The fishermen in the sea were able to catch their breath, hurriedly wiping the seawater off their faces and looking up at the clouds.

The next second, everyone froze on the spot, their faces blank and utterly horrified.

The black dragon phantom in the clouds shattered completely, replaced by a gigantic, grotesque, and twisted demonic body with eight heads and eight tails.

Black mist swirled, and malevolent energy filled the air.

"Where is the Dragon... the Dragon King?"

"What kind of monster is this?"

"It's not a dragon, it's a siren!"

Upon hearing this answer, everyone present panicked and looked completely bewildered.

Qin Quan coldly swept his gaze over the trembling crowd, his words icy as he revealed the truth to everyone.

"A bunch of utterly foolish idiots! The dragon they've worshipped for generations is nothing but the Yamata no Orochi, a monstrous beast from Japan! Every year it demands sacrifices of innocent young girls, not for blessings or protection, but to absorb pure yin essence and cultivate evil arts!"
