The blue-clad old man brandished his twin sabers, spinning wildly in the air, transforming into an earthen-yellow hurricane, slashing towards Zhu Jiuyin.

This was his famous signature move, the Twin Saber Flying Torrent.

With this move, he could easily chop a thick-skinned rhinoceros into mincemeat.

Zzzzzzz—

The earthen-yellow hurricane slashed against Zhu Jiuyin, creating a long string of sparks!

Finally, the hurricane stopped spinning, and the blue-clad old man gracefully landed on the ground, his twin sabers behind his back, the movement smooth, fluid, and dashing.

However, when he looked up, Zhu Jiuyin's scarlet eyes were staring at him, filled with arrogance.

As for the string of sparks just now, they hadn't left the slightest mark on Zhu Jiuyin, let alone any damage.

The blue-clad old man's heart jumped, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

"My life is over!"

He had only dared to come and cause trouble for Zhu Jiuyin by relying on a surge of anger. Now that he realized the difference in strength between them, he was immediately terrified, his legs trembling, and his heart filled with despair.

Just then, a burst of dense gunfire came from the foot of the mountain!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—

The bullets fired by the thousand mercenaries formed a net of fire, sweeping towards Zhu Jiuyin overwhelmingly.

For a time, stray bullets flew everywhere, and flames erupted!

The blue-clad old man panicked, wanting to escape but finding his feet as if nailed to the spot, completely unresponsive.

Just then, two shadows rushed over and pounced on him.

It was the black-clad youth and the white-clad youth. The two youths, one on the left and one on the right, dragged their master towards a nearby gully.

Only then did the blue-clad old man escape and survive. Otherwise, not to mention Zhu Jiuyin, even the stray bullets could have taken his life.

Zhu Jiuyin didn't bother chasing after the three fleeing insects.

It had been attracted by the group of mercenaries at the foot of the mountain and temporarily focused its attention on the vermin.

"Hiss, roar—"

Zhu Jiuyin let out a狂叫, dragging its massive body, rushing towards the foot of the mountain at full speed.

Only then did everyone see its true speed, which was faster than a high-speed train. It only took a blink of an eye to go from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain.

It was truly the blink of an eye, meaning it didn't even take a second.

And now, everyone could finally see its full appearance.

It raised its head high, its upright body nearly a hundred meters tall, and its body stretched for hundreds or thousands of meters behind it.

Its body was covered with a layer of fiery red scales. Bullets hitting the scales were like tickling it!

"Hiss, roar—"

Zhu Jiuyin roared proudly, its eyes looking down in disdain.

Its eyes seemed to be saying, you vermin who dare to disturb my rest, you all must die!

Everyone was frightened, including the mercenaries who licked blood from their blades.

Looking at the monster from a distance was different from looking at it up close.

From a distance, they only felt shock and fear, but now, they felt shock, fear, and despair!

Could this behemoth… truly be defeated?

Such a question existed in everyone's heart.

"Master Lin… w-what's going on…"

He Xin Yi asked, trembling. She had come here to seek adventure, to find natural treasures for her grandfather, to live a better life, not to die!

If she had known that there were such monsters here, she wouldn't have come no matter what!

Master Lin said with a look of panic, "Miss He, I didn't know this thing would wake up. According to the records of my sect, it should have been sleeping at this time of year… Right, it must have been those people just now, they woke this thing up!"

Master Lin was naturally referring to the group of the blue-clad old man.

But now, it was meaningless to blame them. Moreover, those people had already paid the price, buried in the serpent's belly or burned to ashes.

"Miss He, don't worry, I, Lin Zhengdao, will risk my old life today to ensure your safety!"

Master Lin patted his chest and said firmly.

He Xin Yi smiled bitterly, thinking to herself, can risking your old life really protect me?

Li Mu wasn't shouting to run away now, not because he didn't want to.

It was mainly because he was standing there, too scared to move, not daring to breathe, let alone speak.

Even figures like Li Qin and Gu Zhendong, who possessed術法 (shufa, spells), were pale at this moment. The fear and shock that Zhu Jiuyin brought them were too great, making them unable to muster any thoughts of resistance.

On the contrary, Xiao Hei in Li Qin's arms was eager to try. If Li Qin hadn't held it tightly, the little guy would have rushed out.

And besides Xiao Hei, the only one who could remain calm was Chen Xiao.

His face was as calm as usual, as if what was in front of him wasn't a thousand-meter-long demon snake, but a rare species in the zoo!

"Chen Xiao, why don't we retreat first? With your abilities, I'm sure we can escape unscathed."

Gu Zhendong swallowed and said earnestly.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said lightly, "Retreat? Uncle Gu, have you forgotten the purpose of our trip? Moreover, you knew all along what might be on this island…"

"I knew, but, but I didn't expect this thing to be so terrifying…"

As Gu Zhendong spoke, he watched as a rocket hit Zhu Jiuyin.

With a bang, a mushroom cloud rose on the scales.

But after the smoke cleared, everyone discovered that Zhu Jiuyin was unharmed.

The captain of the mercenaries had thought that modern weapons could pose a threat to this monster, but now it seemed that he was just thinking too much.

This rocket launcher could penetrate copper walls and iron walls, but it didn't hurt the monster at all. What kind of weapon could harm it?

Could they only use nuclear weapons? But they were just mercenaries, where could they get nuclear weapons!

But the rocket wasn't completely without effect on Zhu Jiuyin.

At least, it had angered the behemoth…

"Hiss, roar—"

Zhu Jiuyin's roar was clearly filled with anger!

Then, its huge snake head swung horizontally, and a swath of purplish-black flames swept out.

The purplish-black flames blotted out the sky, forming a continuous sheet, directly covering most of the thousand mercenaries.

"Ah—"

Those who could scream were still lucky. Most of the mercenaries were reduced to ashes without making a sound.

With this one breath from Zhu Jiuyin, three-quarters of the originally mighty mercenary force had died.

He Xin Yi never dreamed that her greatest reliance would appear so fragile in front of this monster!
