488 Use of Faith
In the sky above Tokyo, an abundance of dark clouds gathered. It was noon, the sun was hanging high in the sky, so that means the Yang energy was the most abundant. However, at this moment, there was an extremely severe chill. Fortunately, the citizens had already evacuated. Otherwise, the people living in this area would have fallen sick.
Even the residents nearby had received the official notice to leave. Of course, they were only making an announcement. As for whether they would do it or not was up to the residents themselves to adhere to.
Sword Saint Wei Ming was stomping on the steps of the main entrance. Now that all the demons and ghosts had appeared, it was like an overwhelming force that he could not contain. He was like an ant trying to stop a boulder from falling. Between fight or flight, he chose to flee.
Just as Sword Saint Wei Ming was about to leave, the main door of the Jingguo Ghost Society suddenly opened. Hattori Hanzo walked out from the main door and shook his head slightly at Sword Saint Wei Ming, who had a fierce and violent expression on his face. He then looked at the seemingly dark clouds, his eyes filled with caution.
Even he did not expect that there would be so many demons and ghosts in the Hundred Ghosts Parade. Now that he thought about it, the backup he had arranged was probably not going to be enough. It seemed like he could only wait for the battle at Orochi’s side to end.
“I’m leaving.”
Sword Saint Wei Ming touched the famous sword at his waist and formally requested to leave. He naturally knew that Orochi would not agree, but he would not agree to stay here and die in vain either.
“I see.” Hattori Hanzo replied absent-mindedly. Then, as if remembering something, he said casually, “There’s a live broadcast here. At that time, the heroic posture of fighting against the ghosts…”
“Don’t worry. I’ll stay behind. I, Wei Ming, swear to protect the glory of my Sword Dao with my life!” Wei Ming said.
Suddenly, Sword Saint Wei Ming’s eyes widened, and he raised his head and chest. If he had to choose between his life and reputation, he would definitely choose reputation!
…
Sky-turning Seal!
Lin Xuan held the seal in his hand like a magnificent god who had created the world. He directly smashed the seal down on Orochi. However, Orochi did not resist at all and took the blow head-on. Then, taking advantage of the fact that Lin Xuan had just used up his strength and had not yet recovered, Orochi flicked its tail and sent him flying.
The current Orochi was at a higher level. Its mind was high above the sea of consciousness, and the sea of consciousness below was filled with pure white lights. These were the appearances of believers formed by the power of faith. The consciousness of the believers had temporarily descended here, and at this moment, they were fighting alongside Orochi.
This was too f*cking f*ked up!
With the support of the tens of millions of people from Xiaori Country, Lin Xuan could not hold on for much longer. Its current state was very strange. It did not want to be invincible in the earth-rank, but it could still suppress Lin Xuan and beat him up.
However, Lin Xuan could also tell that its current movements were not very coordinated. There must be some unspeakable secret, but unfortunately, Lin Xuan had no way of knowing what it was in his current situation.
Li Rui quietly hid at the side. He wasn’t as thick-skinned as Lin Xuan. If he was hit by the tail, he wouldn’t be in a good condition and would be seriously injured.
He couldn’t help but curse in his heart. This was ridiculous. Ever since he’d broken through to the earth-rank, this was the first time he’d encountered a battle that could easily put his life in danger.
Tiangang’s Great Divine Power — Summoning Wind and Rain!
Tiangang’s Great Divine Power — Riding Mist
Tiangang’s Great Divine Power — Five Thunders!
At this moment, Lin Xuan decided to go all out. The three Tiangang divine powers were used at the same time. He was ready to fight the power of the heavens and earth with the eight-headed hydra. In an instant, the thick dark clouds near Beihai Bay seemed to have scattered.
Orochi naturally wouldn’t agree to this. It borrowed the boundless power of faith and prayed to the heavens that everything it wished for would come true.
This was the mental interference in reality!
This was the omnipotent nature of the gods!
Orochi was worthy of being the God of the Xiaori Country.
Lin Xuan let go of his palm weakly, and the corner of his eyes could not help but twitch. He really did not expect that the three great Tiangang divine powers would actually lose to an ordinary person’s faith…
However, Lin Xuan did not give up. He found a small island and stood on it, recovering his state. Then, he mobilized his unparalleled strength and seized control of the celestial phenomenon from Orochi. Orochi naturally refused to give in and desperately tried to snatch it back.
During this process, it felt that something was wrong, but it couldn’t put a finger on it. It just felt very strange.
On the other hand, Lin Xuan had to stifle a laugh. As expected, the eight-headed hydra was not a True God, after all. Even if it was a God, it had to deal with the prayers of countless believers through its divinity. Therefore, the eight-headed hydra could only temporarily shut down its main consciousness and let go of its subconscious to merge with the consciousness of tens of millions of ordinary people.
Before this, Orochi naturally wanted to deal with Lin Xuan quickly. However, when Lin Xuan decided to take control of the celestial phenomenon by force, two choices appeared — to fight Lin Xuan or to take control of the celestial phenomenon by force. Once there were more choices, the tens of millions of ordinary people naturally had their differences. It was basically a fifty-fifty situation that Lin Xuan had to bet on. Naturally, Orochi’s subconscious was also fighting to take back control.
Hence, the situation changed. Orochi’s sole focus was to regain control of the faith and not to fight Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan was also happy to be free. He was waiting for Orochi’s current state to pass.
The power of faith wasn’t produced out of thin air. It was produced when many ordinary people prayed. Furthermore, it wasn’t as if Orochi hadn’t used it before. It had once discovered that if it made a sincere wish, there was a high chance of it coming true. Although it didn’t understand what was going on, it still wanted to use it whenever it had the chance.
Over so many years, he had used it a few times in a scattered way. When he abducted people in Taixia Country before, he might have made a wish.
As it involved the top figures of the Blue Planet, the consumption used was extremely high.
This time, the Orochi finally understood why its wish had come true. It now knew the uses of the power of faith. Unfortunately, it didn’t have much left as it had carelessly used it up in the past.
At this moment, the main consciousness of the eight-headed hydra suddenly woke up. The domain of faith collapsed in vain at this moment. Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up, and he appeared in front of the eight-headed hydra in an instant.
However, Orochi didn’t even look at Lin Xuan. What it was about to do was its dream for hundreds of years. It didn’t care even if Xiaori Country was destroyed, let alone the revenge of Lin Xuan’s beheading.
Lin Xuan looked at the fanatical look in the hydra’s eyes. His heart tightened, and he hid to the side.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to offend him, but that there was no need to. He could sense that if Lin Xuan dared to disturb him, Orochi would probably go completely mad.
