In the man's eyes, a forest suddenly appeared, and a strangely dressed man emerged within it: black long hair, golden vertical pupils, purple eyeshadow extending to his nose, and pale skin that gave him a sickly appearance.
Although he merely stood there, the man felt as if he were a poisonous snake lying in wait, ready to bite with its fangs at the slightest weakness, then swallow him whole in endless agony.
"When did such a powerful figure appear in the Jianghu...?"
The man frowned. Just seeing the other party gave him a premonition that if he were to become an enemy of this man, he would die a very miserable death!
Even if your martial arts reach the heavens, how can you withstand the siege of my hundreds of thousands of troops!
Thinking of his army, the man felt much more at ease. After all, even a peerless master could not make waves amidst an endless army; they would only be exhausted of their True Qi and die a suffocating death.
That's why he had always longed to become emperor, to become the man with the highest status in this world!
In the scene before his eyes, a group of strangely dressed youths suddenly found this gloomy, snake-like man, and a dispute broke out.
Although the language spoken was different, he could understand the meaning!
Ninja? Hokage? Konoha?
Could it be the Eastern Ocean Wakoku? I never expected them to hide such powerful forces. Once I seize the throne, I will surely lead a million strong army to flatten this nation and make it a complete part of my Great Ming Empire!''
But what happened next directly overturned his worldview.
Several youths suddenly flickered their bodies, using strange Abilities, manipulating wind, fire, and lightning. Powerful forces caused explosions repeatedly in the forest, countless trees were knocked down, and clouds of smoke and dust rose.
Such a battle scene left the man's mouth dry, and thinking of the arrogant words he had just uttered, he couldn't help but feel a chill!
"These people have already reached the level of top masters, even exceeding them, and they can also manipulate water and fire elemental techniques, but if it's just like this, I, the Lord Tie Dan, am not powerless to resist…"
The man comforted himself for a few sentences, then suddenly saw Orochimaru, who had been dodging, stop on a tree branch, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth as he formed hand seals and shouted, "Manda's Formation!"
Strange cursed seals spread beneath him, as if opening the gates of Hell, and a snake crawled out, but this was not the end, but a beginning!
Ten…
A hundred…
A thousand…
Terrifying black venomous snakes surged out from beneath his feet, like raging waves, but even more terrifying!
Because this black ocean was entirely composed of venomous snakes; once caught in it, one would inevitably be completely devoured!
In front of this terrifying tide of snakes, these young men and women were like ants in front of a carriage, needing only a gentle bump to be crushed into powder.
And indeed, these few individuals were instantly swallowed by the terrifying snake tide, and the entire forest transformed into a massive, eerie and terrifying tide of snakes.
"If my army were equipped with realgar to repel snakes, could we fight them…?"
The man still wanted to struggle, but soon the scene shifted, and a hundred-meter-long giant snake appeared in his eyes, its eerie and terrifying snake eyes looking down at him, its huge tongue flicking out, emitting a piercing hiss, as if looking down at an ant!
Orochimaru's summoned beast—Manda the Serpent King!
Orochimaru stood proudly on Manda the Serpent King's head, and with a gentle wave of his hand, Manda the Serpent King swayed its body, its massive form moving instantly.
When a body reaches a certain size, the body itself is power!
The huge snake body swayed, like a collapsing sky, kicking up towering dust for several miles around, and where Manda the Serpent King had been, a huge pit indeed appeared!
One strike, flattening several miles!
It could be called the Divine Power of a Heavenly God!
Such terrifying power scared the man to the core, his mind instantly losing control, and the True Qi within his body began to riot after losing control, instantly collapsing the chair beneath him, and with a bang, he fell to the ground, unconsciously muttering:
"How is this possible? Can such power truly be wielded by a human…?"
Boom!
The loud noise from the respectful main hall naturally attracted the attention of the guards outside.
Clatter!
A large group of sword-wielding guards rushed in upon hearing the sound, seeing the disheveled middle-aged man who had fallen to the ground, the leader was greatly alarmed and quickly asked, "Marquis, what happened to you? Is there an assassin?"
This person before them was the Lord Tie Dan, famous throughout the world, wielding immense power in the court, holding heavy military command, and also their master!
If something happened to him, it could even cause turmoil throughout the land!
The Lord Tie Dan was stunned for a moment, also realizing his Gaffe, so he adjusted his state of mind, the fear on his Face slowly dissipated, and he returned to his previous deeply calculating demeanor.
He looked at the group of guards before him, waved his hand, and said coldly, "I just had a mishap with my Qi circulation, so there was a slight problem!"
The guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern, "Does this subordinate need to invite an imperial physician?"
But the middle-aged man, immersed in the memory files and eager to continue watching, had no mind to deal with them, so he said impatiently:
"No need, I still have things to attend to now, you may withdraw!"
