A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 376 Yamata no Orochi, is that all?
"Fuck! Madmen, the Snake Clan is a bunch of madmen! Mask? Where's my gas mask?!"

"Damn it, retreat, retreat quickly! Is this how the Snake Clan treats heroes?!"

"Wind! All members of the Wind-type Word Spirit faction, stand in front! Defend against this mercury vapor! Shit! The Snake-Headed Eight Families, are they worried we'll target the White King? The Snake-Headed Eight Families are definitely doing this on purpose!"

The mixed-race individuals from various factions began shouting and yelling. Some retreated quickly, while others erected the Word of Power: Dustless Land.

To reiterate, mercury is highly poisonous to dragon-blooded creatures, and hybrids are still dragon-blooded creatures.

Mercury can also poison hybrids, let alone mercury vapor particles that have been ignited at high temperatures and diffused into a mist!

Once these things are inhaled into the trachea of ​​hybrids, it's not much different from drinking mercury directly; their deaths will be extremely gruesome.

That's why all the factions are so agitated, calling the Serpent Clan a bunch of lunatics. Why not just dump the mercury and let the dragon blood subspecies die slowly? Why bother adding incendiary bombs?
The hybrids displayed their unique abilities. Nuwa stood at the forefront of the Zhou and Bai families, and with her hands together, a pale white, sacred dawn began to spread, erecting an unbreakable wall of dawn on both sides.

The mercury mist rising from the Red Well could not penetrate the wall of morning light.

Aso Makoto of the Tokyo Diocese seemed to be the opposite of Nuwa, waving his hand to unleash a pitch-black darkness that lay before the Tokyo Diocese, swallowing all the drifting mercury mist.

Kassel was the simplest one. Chu Zihang, Fingel, and Chen Motong didn't even need to lift a finger. Su Xi just stood there, not needing to do anything. All she needed was the luck of the winner, and not a single drop of mercury mist drifted toward Kassel.

The Tamoan family and the Titan Brotherhood, located on either side of Kassel, were extremely unlucky, with mercury vapor constantly flowing towards them.

It made them question their existence. Everyone was standing on the same line, so why was the mercury vapor only drifting towards them and ignoring Kassel?

No, do you think a piece of mercury vapor has consciousness?
At this point, there was no time to worry about anything else. The half-bloods of the Tamoan family were all incredibly fast runners. No matter how much they coveted the White King's power, they needed to be alive!

The Titan Brotherhood fared better, with several hybrids stepping forward and unleashing wind-based spells to defend against the mercury vapor.

The Snake Clan, who were well-prepared, all wore gas masks and constantly monitored the situation at the bottom of the Red Well: "Something's wrong! The patriarch is acting strangely. The flames at the bottom of the well are weakening abnormally!"

Upon hearing this, Genjiro, who was also wearing a gas mask, immediately took out his phone, which displayed an infrared image that Kaguya had directly sent.

Infrared images show that the temperature at the bottom of the red well is dropping rapidly, as if it is being absorbed by something.

Genjiro frowned as well: "The White King, it must be the White King! Mercury has no effect on the White King? Is the White King absorbing heat energy?"

Uesugi Kotsugu's voice came through the communicator: "This is actually a good thing. Mercury can even poison the next generation. The fact that mercury is ineffective means that what's below is indeed the White King's sacred remains, and not some imposter. We have indeed captured the White King!"

"As for absorbing heat energy, perhaps it's the alchemical incendiary bomb from the Snake Clan that contains dragon blood materials? The White King's Sacred Remains swallowed dragon blood materials, which caused the flames ignited by alchemy to weaken abnormally?"

Uesugi Kotsu was not near Genjiro; this was part of their plan, which involved Genjiro personally killing the White King's remains.

Let's see if we can catch the two big fish, Ince and Herzog, and then have Uesugi Kotsugu, who is hiding in the shadows, launch a surprise attack and take them down in one fell swoop.

Even though the enemy already knew of Uesugi Kozuki, a master who could hold his own against Genji, after the battle outside the old temple, it didn't matter that they were wary of Uesugi Kozuki's sneak attacks.

It's good that it can at least tie down some of Ince and Herzog's attention, distracting them from guarding against Uesugi Koshi.

As the flames dissipated and the mercury stopped emitting steam, Genji quickly stepped forward to observe the bottom of the well. Ignoring the disgusting stench, he saw countless familiar blood vessels!
Just like the blood vessels of the ancient dragon embryos during the Bellow Island period, the blood vessels covered and pierced the corpses of tens of thousands of dragon blood subspecies, doing their best to absorb the dragon blood nutrients from their bodies.

The dense blood vessels obscured his vision, making it impossible for Genjiro to pinpoint the exact location of the embryo, and he increasingly agreed with Uesugi Kotsugi's deduction.

I really shouldn't have thrown in the Alchemy Incendiary Bomb. Judging from how greedily the White King Bloodline was absorbing nutrients, the dragon blood inside the Alchemy Incendiary Bomb must have been drained as well.

Genji grabbed his phone and ordered, "Since the dragon blood flames in alchemy will be absorbed, let's replace them with our most ordinary flames and launch individual rockets."

Princess Kaguya relayed Genjiro's orders, and many members of the Snake Clan, carrying rocket launchers and removing their gas masks, rushed up and blindfolded themselves as they bombarded the bottom of the well!

During the last battle to protect Tokyo and fight the Corpse Guardians, the Snake Clan had already exhausted its years of munitions reserves. These hundreds of rockets were obtained by the Snake Clan from the ZW team through various means.

"Boom!"

The shockwaves generated by the violent bombardment rapidly crushed every trace of blood, tearing everything at the bottom of the well apart.

"Roar...!" A series of angry roars came from beneath the blood threads. The continuous attacks finally angered the being deep within the blood threads.

The White King's remains broke through the blood threads he had created, and sixteen golden lanterns appeared before everyone. No, not sixteen lanterns, but sixteen dragon eyes!
It was as if mythology had come to life. What emerged from the cocoon was not the white emperor, but a giant serpent with eight heads, which immediately reminded the Snake-Qi-Hachi family of the Yamata no Orochi from mythology!
The Yamata no Orochi has eight long, slender necks that are dripping with white, sticky fluid. These necks coil and stretch in mid-air, and its eight pairs of bright, golden vertical pupils gleam with a ferocious, man-eating light.

Compared to its magnificent and enormous upper body, the Yamata no Orochi's lower limbs are ridiculous. As if it were born malnourished, its lower limbs are incredibly short and thin, not even one-third the thickness of a snake's neck, nor half the length of a snake's neck.

It is probably because the Sheqi family forcibly broke the gestation process and caused it to break out of its cocoon midway.

With its lower limbs in such a state, the Yamata no Orochi was destined not to be able to unleash much power, making it impossible for it to support the prematurely emerging Yamata no Orochi as it crawled out of the Red Well.

So this giant snake used its head as its feet, and its eight heads, each with sharp dragon teeth, gnawing at the well wall at different heights. The dragon teeth easily pierced through the well wall, and the snake used its neck to pull itself upwards.

"This?" Genji looked down at the eight-headed serpent, which was large on top and small on the bottom, without fear, and even wanted to laugh.

The White King's Sacred Relic, who caused the tragedies of the Snake-Headed Eight Families for many years, and who was revered as a god by the Snake-Headed Eight Families, was such an ugly monster.

That's it?

Ince, Herzog, and the old Ghosts all want the power of this beast? Ha, how laughable.

Genjiro pulled out the Spider Cutter with his left hand and the Child Cutter with his right: "Such a ridiculous thing, it still dares to dream of crawling out?!"

As he roared, Yuan Zhisheng's bones snapped shut, and with a burst of power from his right leg, the ground beneath his right foot exploded, creating a shallow crater. His figure blurred, transforming into a streak of light that tore through the air as he rushed toward the Red Well.

The eight-headed Yamata no Orochi, which was taking turns biting through the well wall and struggling to climb up, suddenly sensed a great danger. Two of its heads let go and looked up at the sky.

But what entered the vision of the four dragon eyes was not the blue sky, but two dazzling blades of light.

Using his dragon bone form, Genjiro slashed at the two sides, blinding all four eyes of the Yamata no Orochi in a single exchange!

"Roar...!" The excruciating pain from the stab wound to its pupils caused all eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi to roar in anger and agony, the roars echoing within the Red Well.

The other six heads that retained their vision began to lock onto Genjiro. Some heads charged straight at him with great speed, some opened their blood-red maws to block Genjiro's retreat, and some sprayed out large swaths of poisonous mist.

Genjiro was as lively as a ghost. A screeching sound rang out as he fell downwards with gravity. His left hand's spider-slicer scraped against the many snake scales, like a skilled sailor's knife scraping fish scales.

The spider cut into the snake's neck flesh, causing dark green snake blood to spurt out.

Using the scraping scales to cushion the fall, Genji's body twisted strangely in mid-air, dodging another snake head that was biting at him. He precisely stepped on the snake head with his right foot, and jumped down again, avoiding the poisonous fog above his head.

At the same time, his right hand plunged the Boy's Cutter into the snake's neck, the blade sinking to the hilt. Genji's figure swiftly moved downwards, stepping on the snake's neck and drawing his blade to slash open a massive wound twenty meters long! Endless dark green blood sprayed across the sky!
"Hiss!" The severely injured snake head roared in pain, shaking wildly, trying to throw Genjiro away.

The other three snake heads attacked from different directions again, their huge mouths wide open, their fangs menacing, spewing out venom like waterfalls and curtains.

Genjiro aimed at another snake's neck, leaping up as nimbly as a monkey to narrowly avoid the venom pouring down on him.

The venom landed on the Yamata no Orochi itself, immediately corroding its scales and producing a hissing white smoke.

Genjiro leaped and darted around the neck of the Yamata no Orochi, tearing away scales and slicing flesh wherever he went. Often, as soon as one wound opened, another, even deeper one would be added on top of it.

Under the onslaught of the twin blades, the Yamata no Orochi's dark green venomous blood poured down like a torrential rain, corroding the rock strata on the well walls and bottom, leaving them riddled with holes and filled with white smoke.

Minced flesh mixed with scales and poisonous blood fell together, filling the air with a strong stench of blood.

However, it also demonstrated the powerful self-healing ability of the Yamata no Orochi; the long wound that was first cut open by Genjiro had actually begun to stop bleeding and heal.

"You beast, let's see how well you can heal yourself!" Genjiro also became fierce, moving even faster to inflict as many huge wounds on the Yamata no Orochi as possible.

The Yamata no Orochi was driven into a rage by Genjiro's attacks, attacking indiscriminately without regard for its own kind. It even attacked itself, with its eight heads colliding and tangling together in a chaotic frenzy. It almost ended up tying itself into a knot because of Genjiro's manipulation.

All its attacks either missed or injured itself. Despite having such a powerful body capable of destroying cities and strongholds, and a venom that could kill thousands with a single sip, it was completely helpless against the agile Genji.

Genjiro danced amidst the torrent of Yamata no Orochi's power, repeatedly finding gaps wide enough for a truck to pass through between the snake's necks.

They dodge and weave through the gaps between the necks, treating the Yamata no Orochi like a roadside toy.
