Chapter 1196: Battle with the Demon God
Ye Qingci noticed something amiss and struggled to ask, "What exactly have you done to him?"
During the battle with Long Xuan, Ye Qingci was supposed to be too preoccupied to pay attention to anything else, but the Dragon Slayer’s odd actions still brought to her attention the situation over there.
Having had some contact with Yihe Jiugui, she was sure that this fellow wouldn’t make a move without absolute certainty and sufficient benefit to drive him.
That’s why she made a decisive choice, unleashing that sword of illusory and real fusion, solely to take Su Chengyu away.
But... it seemed she still underestimated the schemes of the obscured Yamata no Orochi.
The sudden appearance of Yamata no Orochi, blocking Ye Qingci’s path, evidently had accounted for this surprise in its calculations.
What Ye Qingci couldn’t understand was why Yamata no Orochi’s target wasn’t her, not Long Xuan, not anyone else here, but Su Chengyu.
"It is because of fate. He has too many connections with this place, and only he can bring forth the relic left by the True Dragon into this world. It is also his destiny to come here."
Hearing this word again, Ye Qingci frowned and said, "Fate, fate! You who pride yourselves on standing at the very top of the world, why are none of you courageous enough to challenge fate!"
The black-robed Yamata no Orochi, upon hearing these words, scoffed and said, "What do you, a little girl, know? If fate were so easy to break, how could I have been trapped inside Mount Fuji for a thousand years!"
The agitated Yamata no Orochi swept its hand, and a tremendous force emanated from Ye Qingci’s abdomen. The brute Demon Qi invaded Ye Qingci’s body, spreading towards her limbs and converging points.
