789 Yakushi (2/2)

However, Snake #9 had incredibly strong regenerative abilities. He continued to fight no matter what, even if all his snake heads were cut off. Only several seconds would be required to regenerate every single head!

The Samurai Demon was more powerful and had strong techniques. However, the damage it took gradually started accumulating until its body showed obvious signs of collapsing and slowing down.

Finally, Snake #9 used all its heads to simultaneously bite the Samurai Demon everywhere. Snake #9 then viciously tore the latter to tiny pieces!

To Snake #9, this had been a difficult battle that made him lose his heads dozens of times.

However, the doctor coat man yawned, acting like he was quite bored.

”Too slow.” He stomped on Snake #9's head.

Snake #9 roared angrily, but was unable to resist.

”You should have killed it within 69 seconds, yet you spent 437 seconds, which was 5.3 times greater than calculated,” the doctor coat man told him. ”Your combat efficiency is far lower than what I've expected. Although I never had high hopes for you to begin with, this low efficiency is far too unseemly.”

*Hisssssss!!!!!* All of Snake #9's heads hissed angrily in unison.

”You're too noisy. Shut up.” The doctor coat man forcefully stomped on Snake #9's head again.

Snake #9's entire body shook all over as all of his snake heads instantly shut up.

”Continue going down this path,” the doctor coat man commanded.

The now silent Snake #9 slithered forward deep into the white mist.

Not long later, he saw a red torii.

This torii was far smaller than the giant snake monster. It was obvious that Snake #9 would be unable to pass through it.

The doctor coat man gave another command. ”Destroy that.”

A snake head bit down on the torii and forcefully tore at it.

Mist poured out and increased the chill of the surrounding air. However, this was unable to stop Snake #9. The torii gradually started shaking and turning black as if it was being corrupted by snake venom.

After most of the torii had become black, the snake head tore it out of the ground and viciously crushed it to pieces!

There was instantly a sound resembling a thunderclap as mist explosively poured everywhere together with flying cherry blossoms.

Several seconds later, a shrine appeared in the mist.

Meanwhile, a group of people were standing in front of the shrine.

They all had different appearances and clothing. However, they were all wearing white masks with beautiful cherry blossom emblems.

Something flashed in the doctor coat man's eyes when he saw these people. He showed off an interested expression.

”Snake #9. Do you remember anything when you see those people?”

Snake #9 only replied with a low hissing sound.

”You're truly useless. Forget it, I'll just directly ask them.”

The doctor coat man commanded the snake monster to go over.

Seeing the giant seven-headed snake monster approach, Natsuya and the others all prepared for imminent combat!

”Don't move yet,” Seiji said in a heavy tone while opening up his paper fan to reveal the words ”Immovable mountain”.

He then walked by himself towards the enemy and shouted from a certain distance away, ”This is a divine location. Invaders are not welcome here!”

When the doctor coat man heard this, he stomped Snake #9's head again to make the snake monster stop.

”May I ask who you all are?” he inquired with interest in his voice.

”We are the guardians of this divine location! Invader, who might you be?” Seiji looked at this doctor coat man.

Seiji could tell that this doctor coat man wasn't the type who wanted to instantly rush into battle. So, Seiji wanted to talk to him and at least obtain some information first.

The doctor coat man narrowed his eyes as his lips arched upward.

”I am Yakushi.”

Yakushi?

When Seiji heard this name, he instantly thought about some characters from a certain famous manga in his previous world.
