Xueling City.
"Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!"
Among the siege monsters, a Yamata no Orochi appeared.
This Yamata no Orochi is a fifth-tier demonic beast. Its eight heads swayed, and it looked even more imposing than the fifth-tier sand serpent of the seventh tier encountered in the Gobi Desert.
This kind of eight-headed serpent went extinct after the beast tide that struck 100,000 years ago.
Not only the Yamata no Orochi, but many large but low-level demonic beasts were completely annihilated in that battle because they were unable to escape back to the far north.
This eight-headed serpent had its mouth wide open, with venom flowing from it. When the venom dripped onto the ground, it immediately left a deep pit. Even other monsters kept their distance, afraid that the venom would drip onto them.
A level 3 five-colored wild bull was running a little too slowly, and venom dripped onto its back. The venom immediately burned its back, creating a cloud of blue smoke. Then, the venom corroded its flesh into its back, so deeply that the bone was visible.
The five-colored raging bull screamed and ran away, its body emitting a scorching stench. But as it ran, it suddenly stumbled and rolled to the ground. Just as it tried to get up, it was pounced on by other demonic beasts surging up from behind. Then, the five-colored raging bull never got up again. By the time the large herd of beasts had passed, it had turned into a lump of flesh and blood that was unrecognizable.
The enormous Yamata no Orochi stared intently in the direction of Xue Ling City with its eight heads and eight pairs of blood-red eyes.
"Eat, eat, eat!"
With its scarlet mouth wide open and black forked tongue flicking out, it sent chills down the spine of anyone who saw it.
The appearance of the Yamata no Orochi immediately put the guards on the city wall on high alert.
This is a fifth-tier demonic beast, definitely not something that Qi Refining stage cultivators like them can deal with by controlling puppets and throwing talismans!
"Quickly, go and report to the city lord!"
On the city wall of Xueling, Xue Bocheng, the city lord of Xueling, was terrified when he saw the eight-headed serpent that was as tall as the city wall. He was so cowardly that he almost collapsed in fear.
"Attack quickly and blow that Yamata no Orochi to pieces!" Xue Bocheng gave haphazard orders.
The talismans launched by the puppet all landed on the Yamata no Orochi, but the Yamata no Orochi had thick skin and flesh, so these ordinary explosive talismans only scratched its skin.
Watching the Yamata no Orochi casually shake its head and knock the talisman aside, Xue Bocheng took two steps back and almost fell to the ground in a sorry state.
"Father!" Xue Zheng hurriedly helped Xue Bocheng up. "The talismans consume a lot of energy. Father, you should go back to the manor to supervise the drawing of talismans in the city."
Xue Zheng was giving his father a way out, urging him to return home quickly.
However, Xue Bocheng did not take the opportunity to back down this time, but stubbornly refused to leave.
The cultivators from the Xuanling Sect are still here; how can he leave first?
Xue Bocheng, in particular, saw Su Qing frantically scattering talismans in the air. Those talismans were more powerful than the ones he had drawn. He wanted to see the talismans in Su Qing's hand. Even though he was reluctant to stay in such a dangerous place as the city wall, he still gritted his teeth and refused to leave.
"I'm fine! Xue Zheng, kill that Yamata no Orochi. Men, bring the talisman arrows!" Xue Bocheng said, and had ten arrows brought over.
Xue Zheng took a black bow from his back, stepped forward, and stood on the city wall, facing the huge eight-headed serpent without any fear.
"Young City Lord!"
The guard handed over three feathered arrows engraved with talismans, and Xue Zheng fired all three arrows at once.
"Bang!"
An explosion rang out, and all three arrows struck the same head of the Yamata no Orochi in succession, instantly creating a bloody hole. Black blood gurgled out and dripped onto the ground, causing the earth to hiss and corrode.
The blood of Yamata no Orochi is also poisonous.
The pain caused the Yamata no Orochi to struggle and writhe, causing the surrounding monsters to move further away. At this moment, the Yamata no Orochi glared fiercely at Xue Zheng on the city wall, roaring as it tried to charge at him.
Xue Zheng drew his bow and shot the arrow again, completing the action in one smooth motion.
This time, all three arrows struck the other snake's head. These were three arrows inscribed with lightning talismans. As they pierced the snake's head, the entire Yamata no Orochi was covered in purple lightning and trembled uncontrollably.
Xue Zheng, the eldest son of Xue Bocheng, the city lord of Xueling City, disliked drawing talismans from a young age. He rebelled and left Xueling City at the age of thirteen to gain experience elsewhere. He successfully established his foundation at the age of eighteen and returned to Xueling City.
When the beast tide attacked the city, Xue Bocheng drew talismans in the rear, while Xue Zheng led his men to defend Xueling City and buy time until the Xuanling Sect came to the rescue.
Unfortunately, the Xuanling Sect cultivators didn't arrive in time. A sixth-tier demonic beast appeared in Xueling City, and Xue Zheng was no match for it and died in battle!
Su Qing felt that Xue Zheng's archery skills were about the same as Mu Zihan's, but his arrows were obviously more powerful.
Judging from the black bow in his hand, it's only decent; as for his arrows...
Upon closer inspection of the feather arrow in Xue Zheng's hand, one could see that it was covered with talismans, making it a talisman arrow.
No wonder the arrow was so powerful!
"These are talisman arrows specially drawn by my father," Xue Zheng explained. "Even fifth-tier demonic beasts cannot withstand the power of these talisman arrows."
“Yes, this talisman arrow is my own creation,” Xue Bocheng said with some pride.
Su Qing nodded and said, "It's powerful, but it could be even more powerful." As she spoke, Su Qing took out a talisman brush and made some modifications to the talisman arrow. "Let's try it again."
Xue Bocheng frowned. Although he was a bit timid, he believed that his talent for drawing talismans far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Su Qing is too arrogant! She just casually alters other people's runes!
Xue Bocheng felt very uncomfortable and was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of the runes that Su Qing had modified, and his heart skipped a beat.
These runes... he had never seen them before...
The runes that Su Qing modified shimmered with faint light, and one could sense the powerful force contained within them.
"Try it, try it quickly!" Xue Bocheng was no longer the arrogant person he had been before.
Xue Zheng never expected that his father, who always spoke of talismans with such arrogance, would suddenly become such a different person.
He took the arrow and nocked it onto the bow.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow made a sharp whistling sound as it struck one of the heads of the Yamata no Orochi.
Bang!
With a loud bang, one of the Yamata no Orochi's heads exploded!
Black blood gushed out like a fountain, startling everyone.
"This, this power is too great." Xue Zheng looked at this scene. Before, he shot three arrows, all of which hit the same spot, and only left a big bloody hole in the snake's head. This time, just one arrow shot out, and the head of the Yamata no Orochi was cut off.
Su Qing nodded and said, "This power seems alright."
Is this what you call "okay"?
This is Taihang Mountain, okay!
Su Qing changed the runes on several more arrows. With each arrow Xue Zheng shot, he destroyed one of the heads of the Yamata no Orochi. The Yamata no Orochi, a fifth-tier demon beast that had been so arrogant just moments before, was now headless.
The snake's tail writhed miserably in a pool of black blood, and finally, with an explosive talisman from Su Qing, it was completely turned into a pool of blood!
