I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod

"We will win."

…………

Not long after Lu Ziyun left, she encountered the Yamata no Orochi, who was heading towards the location of Gojou Sōno and the other sorcerers. Facing the white-haired, red-eyed man who bore a resemblance to Gojou Sōno, Lu Ziyun stood in front of him and said:

"You are Yamata no Orochi, right?"

Looking at the blue-haired man blocking his way, Orochi sensed the strength of his cursed power; it was definitely at the top-tier level. Orochi paused, then nodded slightly.

"It's me, what is it?"

Lu Ziyun replied:

"I'm here to challenge you."

Hearing this, Orochi was somewhat surprised. Apart from Gojo Satoru, this was the first time someone had taken the initiative to challenge him, especially after he had recently killed five level-one mages.

Despite his surprise, the giant snake readily agreed to Lu Ziyun's challenge, saying:

"can."

These two simple words were deeply imprinted in Lu Ziyun's ears. It was as if he didn't take him seriously. Lu Ziyun was not angry. He was the kind of person who would not get angry because of others' provocation. For him, everything was in the battle.

And so, the battle between the two began.

At first, several purplish-black beams of light flew out, like bullets fired from a gun, and Lu Ziyun tried to block them with an iron rod, but was forced to retreat repeatedly.

This move cannot be taken head-on.

As soon as Lu Ziyun thought this, he quickly approached the giant snake. All his skills were in physical combat, and if he was constantly suppressed by the giant snake from a distance, then he would soon be defeated.

Just as he was making his way closer to the giant serpent, he noticed that the serpent's body was glowing white. His pupils dilated, and feeling the air currents rushing around him, he realized that the giant serpent was about to use teleportation.

[Where?]

Lu Ziyun quickly observed his surroundings, trying to find out where the airflow came from. From his experience training with Gojo Satoru, he knew that the direction the airflow was heading was the landing point after teleporting.

He followed the airflow, and when he arrived at the confluence of the airflows, he was dumbfounded, because he felt that the airflows coming from all directions were not converging into one point, but were colliding with each other, making them chaotic.

Lu Ziyun immediately realized:

[The teleportation of Yamata no Orochi and the teleportation of Gojou Satoru are completely different things.]

He tried to escape, but it was too late. The giant snake had already appeared behind Lu Ziyun, and a pillar of spiritual energy rose from beneath Lu Ziyun's feet, instantly enveloping him.

With a loud "boom," Lu Ziyun was sent flying without any resistance, crashing to the ground with her body steaming as if she were burning.

In the sky, a crow constantly surveyed the battle. Mingming used his shared perspective with the crow to project the image onto the monitor, so that others present could also clearly see the battle.

The sorcerers watched the battle through the screen, and seeing Lu Ziyun severely injured in almost a single exchange, everyone held their breath. Gojo Satoru, however, frowned.

"What's going on? Lu Ziyun should be able to react to teleportation, so why was he caught off guard? Wait... what was that expression on his face just now? Was he shocked? Orochi's teleportation principle is different from mine?"

Gojo Satoru analyzed the situation, trying to glean information about Orochi's techniques from the limited data available, but this was nothing short of wishful thinking. So she stared intently at the monitor screen, trying to obtain more information...

After being struck by the giant snake's attack, Lu Ziyun felt as if her entire body was burned. She struggled to her feet, looked at the seemingly effortless opponent opposite her, and quickly analyzed the situation:

[That attack just now, it seemed to be fire? Fire doesn't seem to be related to teleportation at all. Could it be that he, like Gojo, has mastered the technique of reversal?]

That shouldn't be the case. Neither the purplish-black beam of light nor the flames from before have anything to do with teleportation...

As Lu Ziyun pondered, the giant snake spoke:

What are you thinking? Are you regretting it?

Lu Ziyun didn't say anything, but her resolute gaze, as if she were going to her death, spoke for him.

Orochi was somewhat confused. He looked at the crows circling overhead, and through one of their eyes, he made eye contact with Gojo Satoru and the others who were watching the monitor. He said:

Is it because they're watching you?

Lu Ziyun did not answer. He stood up, his body crackling with lightning, and shouted:

"Again!"

Perhaps because the giant snake was not human, he could not understand Lu Ziyun's behavior at this moment, but he did not refuse Lu Ziyun's small request.

With a wave of his hand, several purplish-black beams of light shot out, forcing Lu Ziyun to retreat repeatedly until the iron rod was knocked away. The giant snake then teleported in front of Lu Ziyun, engaging in close-quarters combat without any spiritual energy beams.

Lu Ziyun was already exhausted by the light pillar, and now facing the giant snake that was almost at full strength, she had no advantage and would soon be defeated.

However, the giant snake did not expect that when it was fighting with Lu Ziyun, Lu Ziyun showed a triumphant expression, and then it felt like it was being pricked from behind.

The giant snake immediately sensed something was wrong.

Chapter 139: Mythical Beast Amber

When fighting the giant serpent, Lu Ziyun realized that in order to find an opportunity to defeat it, he had to show signs of fatigue and make it lower its guard.

Thus, in the battle with the giant serpent, Lu Ziyun was easily defeated, and even the spell tool in his hand was knocked away, but this was also part of his plan.

When the giant snake lowered its guard, Lu Ziyun teleported in front of him, ready to finish him off with physical techniques. He deliberately showed weakness and took the opportunity to put the giant snake between himself and the destroyed cursed artifact.

Once the conditions were met, the negative charge injected by Lu Ziyun into the spell tool poured out and rushed towards the exposed back of the giant snake. By the time the giant snake realized it had fallen into a trap, the lightning had already struck its back, leaving a charred mark.

Faced with the defeated snake, Lu Ziyun grinned and said proudly:

"So? Do you still think you're some kind of invincible god?"

The giant snake's eyelids twitched a few times. The scorch mark on its back was more of a provocation than a practical weapon. After this battle, it no longer looked down on Lu Ziyun. It lowered its head slightly and looked at the others.

The giant snake said calmly:

"You are indeed stronger than I thought. Being able to hurt me is your greatest achievement."

Perhaps the value of your life should be greater than this scar. Tell me, why did you come here?

"You think you've got me cornered?"

Lu Ziyun spoke with disdain, his smile even carrying a hint of madness. He came for the battle, including this resurrection, which was also for the purpose of fighting Su Nuo.

Although I didn't get to see Sukuna, Orochi is more than qualified to be my enemy, Shiro said loudly.

"I still have a trump card up my sleeve!"

After speaking, Lu Ziyun was enveloped in a burst of lightning, more dazzling than ever before. His gaze was fixed intently on the giant snake as he said:

"This move is called [Phantom Beast Amber]. I originally intended to save it for Su Nuo, but it's not bad to use it on you."

After using [Phantom Beast Amber], my physical body will transform into plasma, and my strength will increase several times over. Even though I will die after the spell ends, you will die before me.

As he spoke, Lu Ziyun continued to use his lightning spell to transform his body. In a short while, his entire body transformed into amber plasma. Because he had not yet been fully unleashed, he still retained his humanoid features.

As Lu Ziyun's life force receded like a tide, the giant snake couldn't help but sigh:

"You're absolutely insane."

Even so, the giant snake had no intention of escaping or using the beam of light to wear down Lu Ziyun from a distance. He believed that since Lu Ziyun was fighting with his life on the line, he had to give him a spectacular death.

Feeling the extremely high temperature emanating from Lu Ziyun, he not only did not run away, but instead went to meet her.

Lu Ziyun did the same. At first, he walked slowly forward, then gradually turned to walking quickly, and finally ran like a thunder beast.

boom!

The two collided in a very short time, and the terrifying force shattered the ground beneath their feet. The giant snake took two steps back, looking slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected that Lu Ziyun's power would become so great after using the Illusionary Beast Amber that even he couldn't withstand it for a while.

Even so, the giant snake did not back down. Its eyes clearly saw that although Lu Ziyun's strength had greatly increased after using the Illusionary Beast Amber, her physical body was collapsing little by little.

According to the Great Serpent's estimation, Lu Ziyun's strongest state will be just before his body collapses. As long as he survives this phase, even if Lu Ziyun is left alone, he will die from the collapse of his body.

The giant serpent faced off against Lu Ziyun again and again. The initial discomfort caused by gaining human form was gradually worn away in these battles. The giant serpent's proficiency with its body increased, most notably from being overwhelmed by Lu Ziyun at the beginning to being evenly matched later on.

However, the evenly matched situation did not last long. With the continuous activation of the Phantom Beast Amber, Lu Ziyun could no longer maintain his human form. His body began to transform into a "beast". After the appearance of horns, claws and wings of light composed of plasma, what stood in place was a huge thunder beast resembling a Qilin.

The Thunder Beast opened its mouth, unleashing a torrent of resonant sound waves that shattered the earth. The giant serpent staggered back a few steps, blood trickling from its nose.

"Is this the Mythical Beast Amber? No wonder it's a killer move that can only be used once in a lifetime."

The giant serpent wiped the blood from its nose and stared solemnly at the fully unleashed phantom beast, Amber. High-temperature plasma surged across its body, making it look exactly like a mythical creature.

[This state is comparable to mine a thousand years ago, it's just a pity that he only has less than a minute left to live...]

The giant serpent felt a pang of regret and looked back at Lu Ziyun. It saw lightning surging and a beam of electromagnetic light as thick as a water basin shooting towards it. The giant serpent had no intention of fighting Lu Ziyun hand-to-hand anymore; in this state, it was no longer related to humans.

Faced with the electromagnetic beam, the giant snake closed its eyes, its entire body turning white. The next second, it teleported behind Lu Ziyun, its body radiating a dazzling white light.

Lu Ziyun turned around in surprise and saw the white-haired, red-eyed figure, like a god, bathed in light, saying calmly:

"Let it all return to nothingness..."

The next second, a bright white light shone, enveloping Lu Ziyun completely. There was no earth-shattering explosion or deafening roar; only half of Lu Ziyun's body remained as the white light dissipated.

Lu Ziyun should have died then and there, but he survived only by fleeing at top speed after sensing the danger. Even though he was close to death, during that attack, he finally understood the question that had troubled him for so long:

What exactly are the techniques of Yamata no Orochi?

At first, when facing the giant snake's attack, Lu Ziyun thought that the giant snake's technique was fire, and that the teleportation was the effect of the technique reversal, but this was obviously wrong.

Thinking about the teleportation, energy attack, and purplish-black light pillar alone, one could not obtain information about the technique. It was not until Lu Ziyun took a direct hit from the giant snake that she understood the technique's effect: "delete matter."

Orochi uses a technique to remove matter from a space, creating a vacuum that causes a negative pressure effect. Orochi uses this principle to achieve teleportation.

As for the beams of light and energy attacks, they are the result of Orochi's technique reversal. By using technique reversal, he can transform deleted matter into created matter. Energy is also a form of matter, so the fire-type attacks make sense.

Having figured this out, Lu Ziyun felt no joy. He stared at the crows circling in the sky, using his last bit of lightning magic to do the last thing he would ever do:

He converted the lightning spell power into an electrical signal, transmitting the complete information to Gojo Satoru and the other sorcerers without Orochi's knowledge.

It was difficult, but he succeeded. The monitor on Gojo Satoru's side, which was connected to the crow's vision, turned into a static screen for a few seconds before displaying lines of messy text.

Lu Ziyun didn't have time to organize this information. To prevent himself from dying before the information could be transmitted, he sent out all the information at once.

Gojo Satoru looked at the intelligence that Shiki had risked her life to deliver, took a deep breath, and sighed:

"As expected of you, I knew you could do it..."

Chapter 140: You are the Challenger

After Gojo Satoru memorized Orochi's technique information, the monitor screen turned into static again, and then switched back to the battlefield scene.

The giant snake stood beside the pool of high-temperature plasma, which was indistinguishable from a human form. Below it, Lu Ziyun, whose body was now only half-decomposed, began to disintegrate and disappear.
