When Xiang Liu actually appeared, the first wave of resistance was actually just a subconscious action of the people, and most of them were terrified.
No one knew what a real great demon looked like, but Xiang Liu gave people a direct impression—big! Extremely tall.
The snake's body was incredibly thick, with each scale as large as a cartwheel. It had nine ferocious and terrifying heads, and its huge mouth was filled with fangs.
Half of the sky over Xianyang darkened!
Wang Ben, who had been assigned to serve and protect the King of Qin, gripped his weapon tightly, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He said, "Your Majesty, perhaps we should temporarily avoid a confrontation?"
He was considered lucky; even among well-trained elite troops, some soldiers couldn't withstand the pressure and fled in defeat.
Ying Zheng gazed at the Moon Goddess calmly stroking her beloved pet, his face serene, and gently shook his head.
Xiangliu looked down at Xianyang City and seemed to have spotted its target. It crawled straight toward the Moon Goddess, ignoring the fleeing people along the way.
The snake's tail, as large as a pillar reaching to the heavens, coiled up, and Xiang Liu's nine heads laughed simultaneously, their voices deafening.
"Princess Changxi, that brat Haotian actually sent you to subdue me, is he trying to use me to kill you?"
Everyone was taken aback. Why did Xiang Liu call Chang Xi "princess"? Was she a princess of a certain country, or a princess of a certain clan?
And Haotian, could it refer to the Heavenly Emperor? But why did Xiangliu say that the Heavenly Emperor wanted to use Xiangliu to kill the Moon Goddess Changxi?
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, sensing something unusual from the few clues available.
Chang Xi's identity is likely more than just that of the Moon Goddess.
Of course, this is a great opportunity for Ling Xiao to enrich her character. As a character with a secret hidden behind her, her identity will become even more deeply rooted in people's hearts when the secret is revealed!
Wang Ben gazed at the moon goddess, who remained spotless and noble even in the dim light.
He sighed, his tone surprisingly familiar, "Xiang Liu, let bygones be bygones. Why did you break the seal? Didn't you know that this time you would die?"
"shut up!"
Xiang Liu seemed to be provoked and flew into a rage, saying:
"I was imprisoned in darkness for ten thousand years, day and night in complete silence, with only the sound of the river for company. I would rather die than live like this!"
As he spoke, Xiang Liu laughed strangely again, "As for you, Princess Changxi, you've probably forgotten the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, and forgotten Donghuang Taiyi, who regarded you as a sister!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves. It is known that Donghuang Taiyi was the former master of the Heavenly Court, and the Moon Goddess Changxi is suspected to be his sister. So how did the Moon Goddess survive?
"Of course I won't forget."
The Moon Goddess uttered these words, and the next second she waved her hand, and a bright moon suddenly appeared out of nowhere, hanging high in the sky!
Ying Zheng was still analyzing the Moon Goddess's identity and her current status in the Heavenly Court when he was shocked by this scene.
The Moon Goddess, who had always been gentle and indifferent, now revealed a sharp edge, her eyes widening and her sharp aura emanating from the corners of her mouth.
The appearance of the moon caused a series of exclamations throughout Xianyang. The cries of the moon goddess resounded across the sky, clearly indicating that everyone had thought of the origin of the bright moon.
It's not just for show, the Moon Goddess said, pointing at Xiang Liu:
"Donghuang Taiyi was born of the Sun Star, naturally noble, while Xihe and Changxi were born of the Moon Star. What do we lack compared to them? They relied on their early birth and used their status as elder brothers to forcibly interrupt our gestation."
The Moon Goddess's voice grew increasingly low, as if carrying a boundless hatred:
"From then on, Xihe and Changxi could only be one head below their brothers. The Fusang Tree of the Sun Star was famous throughout the world and was one of the most precious spiritual roots of heaven and earth."
The laurel tree of the Moon Star, however, is relegated to mere ornamental beauty; the title of princess is nothing more than their handout!
In the end, Chang Xi stopped getting angry and smiled gently:
"Xihe was too gentle and too foolish, deceived by false affections, and died alongside the old Heavenly Court. Why should I be buried with her?"
"Xiang Liu, Haotian didn't send me here to die, but rather—he hopes that I will completely sever my ties with the old Heavenly Court!"
With this, the moon shone brightly and crashed down on Xiangliu with overwhelming force!
This attack clearly caught Xiang Liu off guard. He took the hit unexpectedly, his snake scales shattered and he bled, and four of his nine heads were directly destroyed.
Ying Zheng clenched his fists, staring motionlessly at the earth-shattering scene before him, his heart pounding like a drum.
The Moon Goddess's previous attitude deceived everyone. On the surface, they respected her, but in their hearts, they still treated her with disdain because she loved music and dance and did not strive for self-improvement.
This is only human nature.
But today's events have clearly shown them, through the Moon Goddess's methods and power, that she is not a weak god without power.
Thinking back to the past, Ying Zheng lowered his eyes. It must have been a kind of divine arrogance. Why should gods prove themselves to mortals? They don't need to…
Here, the system's suit was tattered and torn. While maintaining the illusion and special effects, it also had to remember the script written by the host, and a sea of bitterness spread through its heart.
This emotion manifested outwardly as Xiang Liu violently flicking his snake tail, enduring excruciating pain to pull away Yue Liang, at the cost of a section of his snake tail being broken off.
He looked up and opened his remaining mouth, spewing out a torrent of venom that coalesced into a ball.
"Chang Xi, I won't get entangled with you. As long as I kill all the mortals in this city, the future Human Emperor's destiny will be broken. Even if you kill this wisp of aura, I will eventually emerge from the seal again in the long run!"
It is clear that what Xiang Liu said was not unfounded.
An accidental splash of venom dripped onto the ground, melting sand and gravel with a hissing sound, demonstrating just how potent the poison was.
Looking again at the venomous mass in the sky that seemed to cover the heavens and the earth, no one dared to imagine whether Xianyang City would still exist after it crashed down.
They'll say they won't actually smash it down. They're short on funds, and the fact that they can buy some sulfuric acid to make a show of it is already a rare act of generosity from the host.
Before Ying Zheng could ask for help, the Moon Goddess looked at him and spoke first:
"Xiang Liu will not succeed. He has forgotten that the future Human Emperor is here. As long as the Xuanyuan Sword exists, humanity can be protected."
"Draw the Xuanyuan Sword!"
Ying Zheng did as instructed without hesitation, drawing his sword and raising it upright with the tip pointing to the sky.
Ling Xiao urgently ordered in his mind, "Big production, big special effects! Add as many special effects as you can to the Xuanyuan Sword, you know? Make it as cool as you want!"
