In Japanese mythology, Susanoo was the younger brother of the supreme god of Japan, Amaterasu. Because he offended Amaterasu, everyone joined forces to expel him from Divine Country, Takamagahara. After that, he came to the Izumo Country.
In order to marry the eight young girls, he used eight barrels of strong alcohol to make the eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi drunk. After that, he used the sword of the gods, the Totsuken Sword, to slay the Yamata no Orochi and retrieve the demonic sword Kusanagi from its stomach. This was the famous battle of the Yamata no Orochi in Japanese mythology.
Although the Japanese had a deep-rooted bad habit of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, they had their own unique traditions. Their inheritance of myths and legends was much better compared to other races.
These people were clearly familiar with Susanoo's myths and legends. Using the myths and legends as a guide, they wanted to use the same method to deal with the Yamata no Orochi.
Although the Yamata no Orochi had a towering demonic might, it had a weakness that wasn't a flaw. It was that it loved wine as much as its life. It was very easy to fall for its tricks.
But even so, its body was as large as a mountain. Even if it didn't move, it would be very hard to break through its defenses.
In the legends, Susanoo had used the sword of the gods, the Totsuken Sword, to slay the Yamata no Orochi in a single move.
What methods did these Japanese have?
Feng Lin couldn't help but feel curious, but he didn't reveal anything on his face. He followed behind this group of people and continued to act like a salted fish, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
A dense wine fragrance drifted out, drifting for a distance of ten miles. The air in the surroundings was filled with the fragrance of wine. Just a whiff of it would cause one to feel dizzy.
Clearly, this wine wasn't ordinary wine. The Japanese had prepared for a long time and were hiding far away, quietly waiting for any changes.
About half an hour later, eight roars rang out from the depths of the abyss. It was like an incomparably terrifying existence had awakened from its slumber.
The water surface parted as eight gigantic python heads popped out. They were none other than the Yamata no Orochi. Their nostrils were filled with the fragrance of the wine, and an intoxicated expression could be seen on their faces. However, their apricot-yellow eyes were still surveying the surroundings with wariness.
The group of Japanese hurriedly retracted their auras, afraid of attracting the attention of the Yamata no Orochi. Feng Lin also did the same.
A strange look appeared on Orochi's face. How could there be such delicious liquor in its territory?
Even though it was ferocious, wild beasts were wild beasts after all. They didn't have high intelligence. Finally, one of the giant snake heads couldn't hold back any longer. It drilled into the wine jar and started to gulp it down, followed by the second, the third …
In the end, all seven heads went into the wine jar and drank, not raising their heads for a long time.
The deliciousness of the strong liquor made them lose their vigilance, leaving only one head to scan the surroundings.
Like a whale sucking in water, all seven jars of wine were emptied, but the seven drunken heads still wanted more. They wanted to stretch their heads over and drink the last jar of wine.
Finally, the only sober head was enraged.
The eight heads of Orochi seemed to have different consciousnesses. The sober head angrily knocked away the other seven heads and angrily got into the wine jar, drinking greedily.
This time, the eight heads were completely drunk. They drooped by the lakeshore and began to snore like thunder.
"Do it!"
After ascertaining that Orochi had fallen asleep, seeing that their plan had succeeded, the Japanese heaved a sigh of relief and swiftly started to act. They took out two treasured artifacts, a porcelain bottle and a bamboo tube. There were images of a nine-tailed fox and a demonic boy on each of them.
The goddess and Fuuma Taro respectively formed seals. The porcelain bottle and bamboo tube were opened, releasing waves of demonic qi that formed black clouds. A demonic young man with blood-red eyes and a charming lady with nine fox tails appeared from within. They were two of the three great Japanese monsters, Shutendoji and Tamamo-no-Mae. Clearly, they had already been successfully subdued.
"Kill the great snake!" The two of them gave the order. The two great monsters obeyed and started to attack the abdomen of Orochi.
According to the legends, the Kusanagi Sword was dug out from the abdomen of Orochi.
The nine-tailed fox's nine tails stood up high, emitting all sorts of energy waves. Fox fire, demonic wind, yin thunder …
Shutendoji's entire body radiated blood-red light. Numerous heads floated above him, their hair was disheveled and their expressions were malevolent. They were all ferocious ghosts and evil spirits …
The energies of the two great demons gathered together, forming a sea of blood and a torrent of energy that ruthlessly smashed into Orochi's abdomen.
Even though Orochi's body was like a huge tortoise and was covered in thick scales, it couldn't withstand the full-powered attacks of the two great demons. A large hole opened up in its abdomen and blood flowed like a river, dying the black abyss red.
An eye-catching metallic glow could be seen. It was an ancient, silver-colored sword that was exactly the same as the one in the Divine Temple.
"Kusanagi Sword!" Fuuma Taro exclaimed in shock, ignoring everything else and lunging over.
That silver-colored sword was none other than the true body of the Kusanagi Sword in the illusion realm. As long as he could grab hold of it, he would be able to control the demons in the illusion realm and increase his battle prowess tremendously. He wouldn't have to worry about anything in the second round of the Cosmos University's examination.
His eyes were filled with greed, revealing his determination to obtain the Kusanagi Sword.
ROAR!
A gust of fishy wind gusted over.
"What?" Before Fuuma Taro could even get close, he was sent flying.
The eight snake heads opened their eyes and bellowed in rage. Loud sound waves rang out, and a tempest gushed out.
The Yamata no Orochi had suffered such heavy injuries in its slumber and finally woke up. Its eight pairs of vertical pupils opened, revealing malevolence and savagery. It wanted to devour all these lowly bugs that had angered it.
BOOM!
The snake heads opened up and spewed out black smelly water, corroding the ground and causing sizzling sounds to ring out.
Shutendoji and Nine-Tailed Fox screamed in shock and had long since fled far away.
A Japanese man was too close and didn't have time to escape. He let out a scream and was instantly melted into nothingness.
"Quickly leave!" The Japanese goddess screamed. The group of people fled in all directions, but Feng Lin had long since slipped away.
It wasn't easy for them to break free from the Yamata no Orochi's ferocious might. The Japanese people's countenances also turned incomparably heavy.
However, Shutendoji and Nine-Tailed Fox were still too weak. As expected, they couldn't do it without the Daitengu. They had underestimated the prowess of the Yamata no Orochi.
It was no wonder that only a few seniors in Japan were able to subdue the Kusanagi Sword in the past 3,000 years. This wasn't an ordinary demon sword.
The Yamata no Orochi was completely enraged. It wouldn't rest until it devoured these lowly bugs.
Its body curled up, wrapping its wounds. Its long neck shot over and continued to devour the rocks. Even the sturdy rocks were crushed by its teeth and digested by its saliva.
The Japanese people hurriedly fled.
Only Fuuma Taro and the Japanese goddess, the two people in the lead, controlled Nine-Tailed Fox and Shutendoji and rushed over.
After a chaotic battle between demons and monsters, the surroundings were bombarded by energy fluctuations, causing a scene of devastation.
