Chapter 1536 Counterattack
"Having absorbed so much essence and remnant soul, part of it was used to repair your soul and restore your peak strength from the ancient era, while the other part was used to temper my physical body so that my body could have a vessel capable of bearing the strength of your ancient soul."
Muraki said, "Am I right?"
"..."
"..."
silence.
"Hahahahahaha..."
Hydra suddenly burst into mocking laughter, looking at Muraki with great interest: "I didn't expect that you, a junior, would guess it!"
Xiangliu's nine snake heads simultaneously rose, baring their fangs and radiating a fierce light, revealing their true, sinister nature:
"That's right! I've been nurturing you! From the very beginning, you were the vessel I chose!"
"However, you should also feel honored! You, a mortal body from an era of depleted spiritual energy, have been chosen by me! If I can recover to my peak strength from ancient times, you too can become a part of me and advance to demigod!"
"Originally... I was thinking of coaxing you a little longer and keeping your life a little longer until my soul power was fully restored before I made my move."
"I never expected this... hehehehehehe..."
"It seems we need to break off relations a little earlier than planned!"
Nine snake heads approached simultaneously, their gaping maws wide open, their eyes filled with disdain and amusement, thick venom dripping from their fangs.
"So, are you planning to just give in obediently, or are you planning to overestimate your abilities and resist?"
Muraki stroked the sword resting on his lap: "Actually, you should say the opposite of that."
Nine-Headed Serpent Xiangliu: "Hmm?"
Muraki said, "I remember when we first met and made the pact with the spirits, I said that I wasn't afraid of being possessed by you one day."
"If you had that ability."
Having said that, he suddenly drew his katana from its sheath!
"Zheng—!!!"
A clear, resonant sound of a blade ringing out!
The blade shimmered with a crimson light, as if it were alive.
"!?!" Hydra's Xiangliu's vertical pupils shrank, completely unexpected that Muraki would actually dare to make a move without warning!
A dark red slashing blade of energy shot upwards from below, like a blood moon piercing through the clouds, aiming straight for the nearest snake head!
"Shh——"
With a whooshing sound, the snake's head was severed!
The enormous snake head fell to the ground with a thud, tumbling several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground and dissipating into black smoke!
"Hiss—!!!!"
The hydra let out a painful hiss.
"You little brat! You're asking for it!!!"
Xiang Liu was completely enraged!
The remaining eight snake heads suddenly lunged at Muraki at the same time, their blood-red mouths wide open, their fangs gleaming with a deadly cold light!
"boom!!!!!!"
A loud bang!
The boulder where Muraki stood was instantly shattered by the eight snake heads, sending debris flying like rain!
However, his figure had already leaped into the air, his movements as light as a falling leaf, landing steadily on the top of a large tree.
He stood on one treetop, his robes fluttering in the wind, his gaze indifferent as he looked down at the enormous hydra undead below.
Without a doubt, at this point, there are only two possibilities between him and Hydra.
Alternatively, Hydra might possess his body and be reborn.
Alternatively, he could completely control Hydra's power and integrate it into himself.
"Hmph!" Hydra Xiangliu narrowed his eyes, looking at Muraki: "You weak junior, a creature of a small race born demonized, cursed, and enslaved, dare to defy and challenge me! You are simply courting death!"
"I will show you the terrible price you pay for angering an ancient demon god!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all eight heads of the Hydra Xiangliu moved at once, launching a fierce and relentless attack on Muraki!
"boom!!"
A snake's head swept across, and the large tree next to the village's wood ear mushrooms snapped in half instantly!
"boom!!!"
Another snake head crashed down from above, blasting a huge crater several meters deep into the ground!
Its massive body moved like eight twisting, undulating mountains, raising clouds of dust in the blink of an eye. Muraki's figure nimbly weaved between the hydra's enormous body, leaping and dodging through the trees, narrowly avoiding each fatal attack.
Before long, the dense forest within hundreds of meters around it had been completely leveled by its activities!
"Fierce and malevolent—Nine Abyss Poison Tide!"
The remaining eight heads of the hydra Xiangliu rose up simultaneously, opened their blood-red maws, and spewed out their primal venom!
The bluish-purple venom surged and churned as if it were alive.
Wherever the poisonous tide touched, vegetation withered and melted instantly, rocks were eroded with honeycomb-like holes, and even light passing through the dense poisonous cloud became distorted and dim, as if the whole world was being corroded!
The poisonous swamp spread across the ground, and anything that touched it dissolved into bubbling, putrid mud!
The nine-headed serpent Xiangliu, with its eight-headed eye bags, scanned the surrounding forest, which was completely corroded by the swamp's poisonous mist: "Stop hiding. Even if you hide, you won't last a minute in my poisonous mist. No living being in this era can resist my poisonous swamp aura!"
However, at that moment, a swift figure appeared behind the Hydra like a ghost, drawing a shrill arc with his katana.
"bass--!"
The second snake head was severed in response!
"Hiss—!!!"
The hydra hissed in pain again, its eyes widening in disbelief.
"How is this possible? How could you move so freely in the poisonous fog of the Swamp of the True Gods?"
Muraki ignored him and continued his swift and agile attacks.
The third head, the fourth head, the fifth head...
One snake head after another was severed off by Muraki's blade, which flashed like the Grim Reaper's scythe!
With each serpent head that fell to the ground, it turned into black smoke and dissipated, and the power of the Hydra weakened by one point.
Xiang Liu was shocked.
When did this kid become so strong?
Could it be because the original body has been inside him for too long, causing him to develop resistance to the original body's poisonous swamp?
Soon, Xiang Liu was reduced to nothing but his head.
"Soul Skill - Ultimate Sun Wheel Slash!"
Muraki slashed out with his sword.
This Sun Wheel Slash was much larger than any previous Sun Wheel Slash. A thin beam of blood-red light emanated from the blade and then expanded infinitely, as if the entire world was swallowed up by the blood in that instant!
"Ah ...
The hydra Xiangliu let out a final, agonizing scream filled with resentment, anger, and hatred before its massive undead body crashed to the ground.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...!!!!"
......
Happy New Year everyone! ~(￣▽￣)～■□～(￣▽￣)
