Chapter 1605: A Free Food Ingredient That Came on Its Own
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With a loud explosion, the pitch-black ocean split into two halves, and a snake tail was pulled out by Bu Fang. It was an enormous tail covered with patterned scales.
The water was churning violently, filling the air with a deafening rumble. Pushed by the huge waves, the cruise ship swayed from side to side. The people were horrified as they looked at the huge snake tail, gasping.
“What… What is that?!”There were countless ordinary people onboard who had never seen such a creature before, and they were so frightened that they stammered.
“It seems… It looks like the tail of a snake!”
“How could there be such a huge snake tail?!”
“Demon… It must be a demon!”
Some people could not hold their smartphones firmly, causing the devices to fall straight into the ocean. Monstrous waves kept pounding at the cruise ship, and the mortals onboard all looked horrified. Even the faces of superhumans became grim and filled with disbelief.
“Yamata no Orochi…”
1“I can’t believe it’s Yamata no Orochi!”
“The giant demon from the mythology of Sakura Island!”
These superhumans were a little terrified. After their supernatural abilities woke up, they realized that the world was not what they thought it was.
Everything that existed in myths and legends could be true!
In fact, the fight between Yu Ge and the two Yamata brothers just now, which seemed like the battle of Immortals, had brought them a great impact and simply overturned their world views.
On the cruise ship, Xiao Ai’s hands were shaking as she held the computer. ‘Yamata no Orochi… This… I can’t believe this mystical monster also showed up! This world is not peaceful at all!’ she thought to herself.
‘If we rank Yamata no Orochi according to his strength… He should be an SS-class monster! Can Bu Fang hold him off? If not, all the people here may become the food of this great snake! According to historical records, this is an extremely ferocious monster!’
Hovering in midair, Bu Fang raised his eyebrows slightly and then waved his hand. The snake tail was lifted higher. Suddenly, he heard an explosive sound. He frowned. The next moment, the sea around him rose in many humps, and the water began to boil!
Startled, Yu Ge’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly raised his hand, and sword energy appeared at his fingertips at once. With his strength as an Earth Qi cultivator, he was very likely to be killed by Yamata no Orochi in no time at all…
Meanwhile, the monk and the two Western superhumans on the ship turned livid.
“Sure enough, those Sakura Island bastards have no credibility at all! If they had only sent Yamata no Okami, it would have been fine, but now even Yamata no Orochi is here! This snake must be stalking us, lurking in the dark and waiting to kill us all in one fell swoop when we open the spiritual energy point!”
Although the monk was clad in monk’s robes, he spat and cursed in vulgar language.
The two Western superhumans were also feeling the headache. Yamata no Orochi was a mythical being. If they were to fight him, their combined strength might only be enough for them to… run away from the battle!
However, there were too many people in the cruise ship, and if Yamata no Orochi went crazy, it was very likely that none of them would survive. This was not what they wished to happen.
The identity of many people on the ship was unusual. If they were all dead, the whole Earth would be shaken! So, the two superhumans had no choice but to bite the bullet!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, the seawater burst and a terrible aura instantly filled the air. One black shadow after another rushed out of the water. In just the blink of an eye, a total of eight huge heads rose into the air, dripping with water. Each of them looked different, but they were all sticking out their tongues and emitting a terrifying aura.

In addition to these eight snake heads, eight snake tails also stretched out of the water, lashing wildly. At the same time, dark clouds began to gather in the sky as if a dreadful storm was about to descend.
All the mortals in the cruise ship saw the behemoth. In front of this huge snake, the one-hundred-thousand-ton ship Jewel looked somewhat small. This showed how enormous the snake was.
With eight heads and eight tails, this really was a giant snake coming out of myth!
The mortals were disturbed. Some of them were crying, lying on the floor as strength left their legs. In the face of such a creature, they were left with nothing but despair. The horrible aura that permeated the air made them despair. In myths, Yamata no Orochi represented disaster and despair, and he had exhibited this characteristic to the extreme at this moment!
Yu Ge’s face was a little dark. He swallowed and glanced at the expressionless Bu Fang hovering in midair. “Senior… I have confidence in you!” he said solemnly. After that, he turned and sped toward the cruise ship.
Bu Fang did not mind that Yu Ge had chosen to run away. It was useless for him to stay anyway since this Yamata no Orochi should have reached the legendary Earth Immortal level. As a mere Earth Qi cultivator, Yu Ge had no role to play in the fight against an Earth Immortal.
The monk and the two Western superhumans were tense all over. Their strength was actually not much stronger than Yu Ge. Unless the trump cards of their respective countries showed up, they simply did not have any chance of defeating the monster.
Bu Fang was calm, and he looked at Yamata no Orochi curiously. However, after he got a better look, he puckered his lips and was no longer concerned. In his eyes, the giant snake was just a reptile. Even though his cultivation base was suppressed and restricted, he could still easily deal with this snake.
Yamata no Orochi’s eight heads had locked on Bu Fang. The eyes of each head were glowing scarlet like lanterns. All the heads were spitting their tongues, while some were drooling.
Suddenly, he opened his mouths and roared at Bu Fang. He could not believe that this tiny human had dared to provoke him. He wanted to kill him! The next moment, one of the heads darted toward Bu Fang, trying to swallow him up.
The scene made everyone turn pale with fear.
“This monster can really eat people!”
Xiao Ai’s legs went weak at the sight. Yu Ge, on the other hand, sucked in his breath, but inside, he was cheering for Bu Fang, ‘Senior is a man with mighty abilities! Senior is the best!’
…
Some thousands of kilometers from the cruise ship Jewel, a ship was sailing slowly across the vast ocean, its hull painted with a logo of the Sakura Island.
In the ship’s command room, many men in military uniforms sat on chairs, looking at the screens in front of them. The face of each of them was filled with fervor.
“Kame Yamata no Orochi has struck! The Jewel will surely be destroyed…”
“Soon, the spiritual energy sealing point will be ours… I’ve invited some of the most famous chefs in our country… The chance of this spiritual energy sealing point will definitely belong to us!”
“If you want to become powerful, you have to be ruthless!”
The officers in the command room were talking with enthusiasm and excitement.
There were only four spiritual energy sealing points in the world, and Sakura Island would soon own one of them. That would be a huge boost to its strength.
“Now that Yamata no Orochi has revealed himself, we won’t be able to keep the news of our presence here for long, and the Qi cultivators of Hua and the Chosen Ones from various Western countries will soon be here… We must finish this battle as quickly as possible!”‘
“Nothing to worry about. Kame Yamata no Orochi is a mythical being who wakes up from his sleep in the myths. He can help us solve everything!”
…
Rumble!
An invisible wave of air spread slowly in all directions, and the seawater rippled. For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to freeze. Everyone on the cruise ship stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes, their hearts pounding fast with disbelief.
Yamata no Orochi’s head was stopped. The head that had swooped down to devour Bu Fang was held against the latter’s palm and could not advance any further!
The giant snake head tried to crush the human with great force, but it found that it could not do it at all.
Bu Fang’s face was very calm. With one hand behind his back, he lifted another hand, grabbed the snake head, then put some force in his palm and bent his fingers slightly.
Yamata no Orochi instantly felt a sharp pain coming from the head, which made his scarlet eyes grow larger and larger. Even then, the surrounding heads expanded their neck hoods like cobras!
A strange sound wave exploded out, sweeping in a circle toward Bu Fang! It was so sharp and jarring that it seemed to make the head of the person who heard it explode. Many people on the ship began to bleed from their mouths and noses after hearing it, and they fell limp on the ground, trembling violently…
The faces of the monk and the two Western superhumans changed drastically. The monk immediately put his palms together and sat cross-legged on the ground, chanting something under his breath. A unique chant of Sanskrit was heard, which transformed into a golden light and enveloped the people, isolating them from the sound waves.
The sound waves were very destructive. As they swept out, the seawater exploded and splashed.
Bu Fang frowned slightly and threw out his palm. With a thump, one of Yamata no Orochi’s heads was slapped and thrown deep into the water.
“Well… Snake meat is good and can be used as an ingredient… It should taste good in a snake soup,” Bu Fang said faintly, clapping his hands.

Those who heard him looked at each other.
“Snake soup? Do you know that the huge snake is a mythical being? How dare you plan to make him into snake meat soup? Can you be any more arrogant?!’
The seawater exploded again. Yamata no Orochi roared and rose to the sky, his eyes becoming redder. The next moment, his tails lashed out at Bu Fang with such force that they shattered the air. At the same time, each snake head opened its mouth and spewed out black gas or poisonous gas.
Each of Yamata no Orochi’s heads had its tricks. Some heads could attack with sound waves, some with jets of water, some with poisonous gas, and some with flames. For a moment, all kinds of strange energy filled the air, shining dazzlingly.
However, despite all his tricks, Bu Fang remained indifferent. Hovering in midair, he countered every attack with just a slap of his palm. Those strange energies disappeared as soon as they got within an inch of him. As a result, his body seemed to be glowing if one looked at him from a distance.
“Yamata no Orochi…” The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes narrowed a little. He did not have any good feelings about this giant snake.
Suddenly, one of the heads hissed at him, but it was only halfway through when Bu Fang slapped it. A loud boom rang out as if something had exploded.
Everyone’s eyes widened as they saw the hissing snake head being ripped off by Bu Fang’s slap. Yes, it was ripped off just like that! The huge head fell from Yamata no Orochi’s body and smashed into the sea, smearing the water red with its cold blood!
Yamata no Orochi’s seven remaining heads instantly showed a look of fear and outrage. He was not stupid. After all, he had a certain degree of intelligence after cultivating to this level.
The human in front of him had just snapped off his head with a single slap. In other words, all eight of his heads could be snapped off with just eight slaps. How was he going to fight such a fearsome opponent?
So, without hesitation, he dived into the water to flee. Losing a head was not a big deal. He just needed to recuperate for a while to grow it back. But if he lost his life, he would have nothing. With a strong desire to live, Yamata no Orochi swam toward the distance in a panic.
“Trying to escape?” The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly. “I haven’t even made my snake soup yet… How can I let the free ingredient slip from my hands?”
After that, he descended and stepped on the surface of the sea, put one hand deep into the water, and yanked it back out violently. With a rumble, the water burst open and converged into a huge palm, grabbing Yamata no Orochi’s eight tails and pulling him out from the bottom of the sea!
For a moment, it seemed a heavy rain was falling. The seawater kept falling from the sky, and there were even countless fish and shrimp swimming in it.
Far away, in the command room of the Sakura Island ship, silence fell. The officers were all livid. Suddenly, the commander slammed the table angrily with a hand.
“Send the fighter jets! We have to do everything we can to help Kame Yamata no Orochi! This operation must succeed!”
The commander’s order was instantly passed down. Soon, a rumbling sound began to resound on the ship. On the deck, one fighter jet after another shot up into the sky, all flying toward Bu Fang’s location.
