Chapter 648: Chapter 647, The Appearance of the Eight-Forked Serpent

Moonlit Night.

A colossal black serpent, over twenty meters long and as thick as a millstone, slithered rapidly, bringing destruction to the houses in its path with a deafening roar.

When it was still dozens of meters away from the crowd, the stench and icy aura it emitted made everyone shiver, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Covered entirely in black scales, the serpent’s body reflected a metallic sheen under the moonlight.

However.

That wasn’t the most important part.

The crucial thing was that this snake had eight enormous heads.

This was precisely the Eight-Forked Serpent worshipped by the little devils.

"I never expected this, never expected you to come to my Great Xia!" Xu Wendong held a bayonet, his face solemn, because even though he had entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, standing before this gigantic creature made him feel as insignificant as an ant.

After all, it was a being from the Wa Country’s mythology, exuding an extremely oppressive aura.

Yet despite this.

Xu Wendong’s eyes showed no trace of fear, only a frenzied battle spirit.

The villagers of the Jiang Family Village, upon seeing the Eight-Forked Serpent, were initially shocked, but then all of them knelt on the ground, excited and devout.

Clearly, they hadn’t expected the Eight-Forked Serpent to live in the Jiang Family Village.

Meanwhile.

The masters of the Dragon Court were keeping a close watch on the developments.

After all, the Dragon Court had three independent satellites capable of real-time monitoring of specific locations, and the events at the Jiang Family Village were being presented to everyone from a god’s-eye view.

"Damn it! When did this long serpent enter our Great Xia?" Uncle Long was furious.

As the head of the Dragon Court.

His duty was to protect Great Xia, and while he couldn’t completely prevent spies, he could guard against cultivators from other countries entering Great Xia.

However.

He never expected the Eight-Forked Serpent to infiltrate Great Xia.

This was undoubtedly a failure on his part.

Everyone dared not breathe, partly because it was indeed their failure, but also, was it truly their fault?

Besides, the Dragon Court had been established for less than thirty years.

Even if it had been established for hundreds of years, they couldn’t monitor the Jiang Family Village at all times, especially since it was located by the sea. If the Eight-Forked Serpent crossed the sea, they could not have known.

Regaining his composure, Uncle Long decisively said, "Qingluan, quickly call Xu Wendong, tell him to leave Jiang Family Village, and absolutely do not confront that beast head-on!"

"Okay." Qingluan agreed and then dialed Xu Wendong’s number.

A middle-aged man couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle Long, are you worried that Xu Wendong isn’t a match for this beast?"

"Not worried," Uncle Long stared intently at the large screen in front of him, speaking in a low voice, "This is a mythical being from the Wa Country, having cultivated for hundreds of years. Its scaly armor is impervious to blades and bullets, not something we cultivators can contend with, even those in the Foundation Establishment Stage might not be able to kill it."

Upon hearing this.

Everyone felt a strong sense of unwillingness.

Clearly, they hadn’t expected this long serpent’s power to be so terrifying.

But that was to be expected.

Even through the screen, they could feel an overwhelming pressure.

After all, the massive serpent coiled up like a house, not to mention its eight giant heads, each with sixteen eyes as large as basketballs, radiating different colors.

At that moment.

They saw Xu Wendong on the screen take out a phone, and Qingluan’s phone rang with Xu Wendong’s voice, "Sister Qingluan, I’m busy right now, I’ll call you back later."

"Wendong, it’s me." Uncle Long seized Qingluan’s phone and said, "We’re monitoring what’s happening at the Jiang Family Village. Listen to me, leave immediately, you’re not a match for that beast with your current power!"

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out as they clearly saw Xu Wendong take out a lighter and light a cigarette in his mouth.

Then, taking a drag, he calmly said, "Uncle Long, in a lifetime, there are too many situations where we have no choice. Sometimes we can choose to retreat or even escape!"

"But sometimes, we cannot retreat, nor can we escape!"

"Because if I run away, our nation’s dignity would be lost!"

"With the little devils’ methods, they would definitely spread today’s events everywhere, making Great Xia a global laughing stock."

"After all, they have already stolen from our nation."

"If rumors spread of a thief scaring away a homeowner in such an absurd manner."

"From now on, how would the majestic fourteen billion people of Great Xia stand tall?"

The vast Dragon Court fell into a pin-drop silence.

Everyone felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation.

As Xu Wendong said, they were indeed thieves, having stolen important strategic nuclear materials from Great Xia. If Xu Wendong fled without fighting today,

the little devils would surely exploit the incident, ridiculing Great Xia mercilessly.

This would be a devastating blow to Great Xia.

Uncle Long’s eyes reddened with anger, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "If this continues, you will die!"

Xu Wendong took a drag from his cigarette, gazed at the sky, and murmured, "If my death can allow my compatriots to stand tall and live with dignity, then what is there to fear in death?"

"Just like those ancestors of a hundred years ago who shed their blood."

"They fought selflessly, heroically embraced their fate, and with their flesh and blood, built a legacy of immortal achievements, driving out the invaders, forcing them to surrender. What was their purpose?"

"Wasn’t it so that we, the descendants of Yan and Huang, would not be enslaved, oppressed, and could stand tall with dignity?"

"Having already stood tall as human beings."

"Then there’s no one, no hardship that can crush us!" With that, he hung up the phone, took a drag from his cigarette, then wielded his Thousand Slaughter blade and charged toward the gigantic creature with lightning speed.

Dragon Court.

A somber atmosphere enveloped the Dragon Court, weighing heavily on everyone’s hearts.

Every gaze directed at Xu Wendong was filled with admiration.

No one expected that someone so young could possess such awareness and thought.

Especially his last statement.

"Having already stood tall as human beings, then there’s no one, no hardship that can crush us."

Truly deafening!

"Uncle Long, are we really going to watch Xu Wendong face this beast alone without doing anything?" Qingluan’s eyes were full of unwillingness.

It wasn’t about wanting to engage in Dual Cultivation with Xu Wendong.

It was purely the feeling that Xu Wendong shouldn’t die at Jiang Family Village.

Uncle Long let out a light sigh, "I don’t want this either, but besides that, do we have any other options?"

Qingluan fell into silence.

Not to mention the thousands of miles between them and Jiang Family Village, even if they rushed over now, the Dragon Court’s strength would be no match for this beast.

Seeing the looks of sadness and reluctance in everyone’s eyes, Uncle Long suddenly revealed a crazed smile, "Indeed, we can’t join him and fight this beast together, but we can still find another way to stand shoulder to shoulder with him!"

Qingluan asked excitedly, "What way?"
