Chapter 403 Iza Kawatani and Orochi
The humans were not the only ones who felt terrified, Orochi was also afraid. It was not the humans it feared. It only saw them as its delicious food. It was the human society that scared him. It had not expected that it would encounter humans who were at such a level. In its memory, men like Susanoo were the most powerful martial artists, and they were usually regarded as a god.
Though they were not as powerful as Susanoo, they were mighty masters among humankind, especially that old man with the white hair and white beard.
It wondered if powerful masters like them could usually be seen in the outside world. If it was true, it was not likely that it could conquer them all, even when its power was fully restored. If there were powerful martial masters like Susanoo, its life would be at stake. If would be a shame if it was killed by humans this time.
Orochi began to hesitate. The fire of vengeance had been burning in its belly for thousands of years. It once could roam freely in this world. But it had to hide here to recover because of Susanoo.
It had been 5,000 years!
Demonic beasts like it could have experienced several incarnations in 5000 years. Though it survived and had been sleeping under the ground, it was no different from being dead.
Hence, it craved vengeance. But it suddenly felt worried as it looked at these humans. It was not the empty-headed beast it once was, because it did not want the same thing to happen again. It did not know what the outside world was like now. It was afraid that powerful masters like them were innumerable.
Orochi did not do anything, nor did Iza Kawatani and his men. All of them were too afraid to move. The demonic beast in front of them was too evil and formidable. They were trying to come up with an escape route.
Orochi suddenly said, “Humans, you must answer my questions.”
The serpent spoke!
It was something outside the norm, but Xiao Bing was not surprised. After all, he had spoken with Orochi. But all the men beside Iza Kawatani seemed taken aback and more terrified.
As the pillar of these men, Iza Kawatani stepped forward and stood in front of them. Clad in a grey gown that represented the elder group, he raised his head high and put his hands behind his back. He was only 1.6 meters tall, but now he seemed like a giant, as if he could prop up the sky. His hair and beard were both white, but they did not make him look old. Instead, he seemed rather powerful with the ancient and purple long sword hanging behind his back.
For some unknown reasons, these men seemed calmer as he stood in front of them.
Iza Kawatani looked up at the white serpent’s eyes. “You ask and I’ll answer, ” he said calmly. His voice sounded old, but confident and proud.
Orochi’s interest was enkindled when he saw that Iza Kawatani was so confident. The two snakeheads stared at Iza Kawatani. The one that was in the sky above the mountain Iza Kawatani was on, spoke, “Interesting. Lad, what’s your name?”
Iza Kawatani was 99 years old. But he did not seem angry at being called a lad. He knew that beasts like it were hundreds of years old. So it was normal for it to call him “lad”.
“Iza Kawatani.” Iza Kawatani said it word for word, with mounting pride.
“Iza Kawatani?” The demonic vibe surrounding it suddenly intensified. “What’s your relationship with Iza Naki?”
From the fluctuation in it’s breath, Xiao Bing could tell that it was the name that excited it.
Hiding behind the tree, Xiao Bing thought that if he was Iza Kawtani, he would not tell the truth. One could easily tell that Orochi was really sensitive about the name. Obviously nothing good would happen when it came to a demonic beast and a god. The serpent might devour him instantly if Iza Kawtani told it the truth.
