Why is my anime art style so weird?

Several toads immediately swarmed forward, launching a righteous attack on the three-headed snake.

The three heads of the three-headed snake bit at three different toads.

A toad raised its shield and faced the snake's head.

clang!

The snake's head bit down hard on the shield, its sharp fangs instantly piercing through it before it was firmly stuck.

The snake's head began to retract, while the toad held onto the shield tightly, and the snake and the toad began to wrestle.

The other two snake heads were also entangled in a fight with several other toads.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru were not idle either, launching attacks back and forth.

A moment later, the three-headed snake let out a painful cry.

It should now be called a snake.

As for the other two heads, they had already been severed simultaneously by the well-coordinated toads.

Even with three heads together, they couldn't win; now that there's only one head left, they're even more overwhelmed.

The toads worked together seamlessly to strangle the three-headed snake. One toad distracted the snake while the others attacked, quickly severing its last head.

"Humph!"

Orochimaru let out a cold snort.

Perhaps feeling he was losing face, Orochimaru formed a hand seal, a puff of white smoke erupted from beneath his feet, and he vanished from the spot.

Jiraiya wiped non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead.

It's not impossible to let him continue fighting Orochimaru until a complete victory is decided, but he's not confident of winning.

Fortunately, Orochimaru seemed a bit distracted today, and he gave up so easily, which was really unlike him.

Although Jiraiya had some doubts, he still took the initiative to call out to everyone and the troops, and began to walk deeper into the forest.

To prevent Orochimaru from playing any tricks, Jiraiya spread out his troops' formation and sent out a large number of scouts.

Xu Ming rubbed the diamond ring on his ring finger.

He only lowered his hand after he saw that Jiraiya had completely reversed the tide.

The main force continued on its way and soon arrived at a tall tower in the center of the Death Forest.

Jiraiya didn't rush into the tower. Instead, he first sent out a large number of toad spirits to scout the surrounding area to prevent Orochimaru from having his army lying in ambush nearby.

After confirming that there was no danger in the surroundings, Jiraiya nodded to Kato Megumi and Xu Ming.

"Amaterasu Shrine Maiden, we have confirmed that there are no ambushes nearby. We can go in now."

"and many more."

Xu Ming waved his hand, and then, meeting Jiraiya's surprised gaze, summoned all the shikigami from the Hyakki Yagyō.

He first sent Haruyuki Arita into the sky to monitor the surrounding area from above the tower.

Then he took out his phone and a crowbar and held them in his hands.

After making all these preparations, Xu Ming finally nodded.

"I'm ready, you can go in now."

Jiraiya couldn't help but show a strange expression.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

After saying that, Jiraiya walked to the front of the group and pushed open the tower's door.

The tower was pitch black inside; looking in from the outside, one could only vaguely see that the space inside was quite large.

Jiraiya cautiously stepped into the tower, followed closely by the others.

Just as the last person stepped into the tower, all the lights inside suddenly turned on, illuminating the entire tower.

Xu Ming immediately saw a sphere emitting a faint green light in the center of the hall, suspended on the floor.

This is the 'Wooden Eye' of the Death Forest.

Orochimaru, whom they had been wary of, was now standing right next to the center of the formation.

Hearing the noise, Orochimaru turned around and looked at them with a playful smile.

"Jiraiya, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for so long."

Jiraiya frowned and shouted at him:

Orochimaru, what exactly are you trying to do?

Orochimaru's smile grew even wider.

"You'll find out soon enough."

As he spoke, he bit his thumb, formed several hand seals, and then instantly placed both hands on the eye of the wooden array.

"Summoning!"

"Stop him!"

Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise, and at the same time, he flung several kunai at Orochimaru.

"late!"

Orochimaru burst into laughter.

Accompanied by his arrogant laughter, the Wood Eye suddenly emitted a bright green light.

The green light seemed to be some kind of signal.

Suddenly, beams of green light appeared on the ground, spreading outwards until they covered every corner of the floor and extended all the way to the outside of the tower.

If you look down from high above, you will see that these green rays start from the tower and spread throughout the entire Death Forest, until they cover every corner of the forest.

The gradually forming green rays of light formed an incredibly complex giant magic circle that enveloped the entire Death Forest!

There is no doubt that this was a trap set by Orochimaru in advance!

"Xu Ming, something terrible has happened!"

Arita Haruyuki, who was flying in mid-air, immediately sent an alarm through telepathy, and Xu Ming was immediately alerted.

They've all been fooled!

No one noticed that as the magic circle enveloped the entire Death Forest, the scattered monster corpses in the forest began to slowly melt, turning into streaks of blood that merged into the magic circle.

As the blood continued to seep into it, the vibrant green was gradually tinged with an eerie crimson...

Orochimaru! You tricked us!

Jiraiya knew perfectly well that they had all fallen into Orochimaru's trap.

Faced with Jiraiya's furious roar, Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that made no attempt to conceal the contempt in his expression.

"You bastard!"

Without saying a word, Jiraiya immediately began forming hand seals.

Orochimaru gave a cold laugh, completely ignoring him, his gaze fixed intently on the Wood Eye that was emitting a bright green light.

Perhaps driven by his anger, Jiraiya completed the hand seals a third faster than usual, then inhaled sharply and exhaled, releasing a large burst of flames.

The flames transformed into a sea of ​​fire and quickly engulfed Orochimaru.

This Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet was far more powerful than Jiraiya's usual attacks.

However, as the flames approached Orochimaru, a terrifying aura erupted from the eye of the Wood Formation, and the flames were quickly extinguished.

The mere aura it released extinguished Jiraiya's high-level fire jutsu.

What kind of monster is Orochimaru summoning?!

The answer was soon known to everyone.

Roar!

With a deafening roar, an incredibly terrifying and enormous figure emerged from the green light.

It was a colossal creature composed entirely of green light, appearing incredibly ethereal—a giant python with eight heads.

A familiar name simultaneously surfaced in everyone's minds—Yamata no Orochi!

Just as the nine-clawed golden dragon holds a prominent position in China, the Yamata no Orochi is a well-known yokai (demon) in Japan.

That was a terrifying monster in mythology, one that even the God of War could only defeat through cunning and sneak attacks.

As soon as the ethereal Yamata no Orochi appeared, its terrifying aura pressed down on everyone, making them unable to lift their heads or straighten their backs, as if an incredibly heavy boulder was pressing down on them.

"You actually used a forbidden technique to summon a clone of Orochi!"

Jiraiya cried out in a mixture of shock and anger, unaware that there was a barely perceptible hint of fear in his voice.

Faced with Jiraiya's questioning, Orochimaru smiled noncommittally.

Boom!

When the Yamata no Orochi fully manifested, the tower where everyone was located was actually crushed by its enormous body.

Chapter 453 Yamata no Orochi!

Xu Ming stared intently at the terrifying monster that had suddenly appeared, his hand unconsciously touching the diamond ring on his ring finger.

Just then, the Yamata no Orochi clone that had just been summoned flashed with a fierce light in its eyes and suddenly bit down hard on its summoner!

The gaping maw swallowed Orochimaru and the surrounding land whole.

boom!

The enormous impact instantly stirred up a large amount of dust.

Backlash!?

Everyone stared in astonishment at this scene.

However, Orochimaru seemed to have been prepared all along.
