I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield - Chapter 654 - 489: Yamata no Orochi, Holy Blood’s Escape

Chapter 654: Chapter 489: Yamata no Orochi, Holy Blood’s Escape

On the icy plain, the snow flew everywhere.

The fierce battle between Zhuge Yu and his three companions and five followers continued, lightning tearing through ghost spirits, flames clashing with ice blades, katana’s wind blades intertwined with the cold light of longswords, and shockwaves of spiritual energy shattered the ice continuously.

In mid-air, two figures stood facing each other from afar, emanating a pressure even more terrifying than that of the battlefield below, slowly spreading.

“A Royal Major General?” Shengongsi Hao Er’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise flashing by.

Being so young yet already at the level of a Major General requires not only significant military merits but also a deep background. However, upon recalling, he didn’t remember any Golden Clan named Qin within the Empire.

But this surprise was quickly replaced by arrogance. It didn’t matter, so what about a Major General?

A mere Major General was not worth his attention.

He stepped forward half a step, and the pressure of Tier Seven Holy Blood pressed towards Qin Tian like a tangible force, gray spiritual energy swirling in his palm, exuding an ominous aura of destruction:

“I’ll give you one last chance, hand over the treasures of the treasury and take your people and leave, otherwise, you’ll all stay here.”

Qin Tian’s tone remained calm, “You are not qualified.”

“Seeking your own death!”

Shengongsi Hao Er was thoroughly enraged, the gray spiritual energy in his palm surged wildly, transforming into a giant palm the size of a millstone, with palm lines interwoven like snake scales, carrying an aura of disaster and corrosion, slamming down towards Qin Tian.

The Amaterasu Bloodline, also known as the Big Snake Bloodline.

In mythology, the big snake and Amaterasu are not actually related; the former is a calamity beast symbolizing destruction, disaster, and death, while the other is the sun goddess ruling Takamagahara.

However, the Shengongsi family felt the name Big Snake Bloodline was too savage and not noble enough, so they claimed to be the Amaterasu Bloodline, a tale that has been passed down ever since.

Boom!

This seemingly simple palm contained the primordial power of the Big Snake Bloodline; any spiritual energy it touched would be tainted, and the flesh would be corroded to the bone, even the initial stage of Tier Seven Golden Bloodline would have to struggle to protect itself against this move.

However, Qin Tian’s expression remained unchanged, with a flip of his wrist, the Thunder Saber instantly formed, purple electricity danced wildly on the blade, emitting a “buzzing” thunderous sound.

He raised his hand to wield the saber, a concentrated purple blade aura shot out through the air, like startling thunder cutting through space, precisely striking the center of the gray giant palm.

“Sshhh—”

The collision of purple electricity and gray spiritual energy actually cut the giant palm in half, the frenzied energy of the thunder attribute instantly obliterated the gray spiritual energy at the severed point, and the remaining palm shadow lost its power support, dissipating into specks of gray mist in the air.

“Hmm?” Shengongsi Hao Er’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, for the first time his eyes showed genuine surprise.

He was a Tier Seven Three Stars Holy Blood, yet the other was only Tier Six Nine Stars, even if an extreme of the Golden Bloodline, it should be difficult to survive under this palm.

Yet, this Qin Tian was able to so easily withstand and even directly break apart his spiritual energy attack.

“Interesting, I did underestimate you.”

Shengongsi Hao Er put away his dismissive attitude and raised his hand to take out a pair of black gloves from his storage space.

The gloves were entirely covered with dark golden snake scales, engraved with twisted demon patterns on the scales. The moment he put them on, a sinister aura burst from him, a vague shadow of a massive snake several tens of meters long appeared behind him, with scarlet serpentine eyes radiating the ferocity of an ancient demon.

“This is the Shengongsi family’s exclusive spiritual artifact [Big Snake Scale Armor Gloves], capable of increasing bloodline power by thirty percent. It’s your honor to die under them.”

Before the words fell, Shengongsi Hao Er’s figure abruptly disappeared from the spot, moving so fast that afterimages appeared, the giant snake shadow behind him also lunged forth, opening its gaping maw towards Qin Tian.

Qin Tian swung his saber to block.

However, Shengongsi Hao Er’s body twisted in the air like a boneless viper, veering off its straightforward charge to suddenly sidestep, his arm bent at a seemingly unnatural angle, with the snake-scale-gloved fist wrapped in gray spiritual energy, slamming fiercely towards Qin Tian’s rear skull.

Qin Tian reacted swiftly, his vital energy and blood instantly erupted around him, forming a protective golden qi, while his body moved horizontally, but Shengongsi Hao Er’s attack angle was too cunning, the punch brushed past the qi and solidly struck Qin Tian’s chest.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, Qin Tian was blown back several meters, his chest robe instantly shattered, exposing skin where a faint black mark emerged, the corrosion power of the Big Snake Bloodline at play.

Yet in the next second, golden qi and blood surged towards the wound, the black mark melted like snow meeting a raging fire, and the wound healed at a pace visible to the naked eye, recovering completely in mere moments, leaving not even a trace of pain.

“What?!” Shengongsi Hao Er’s pupils constricted; this punch not only contained the power of Tier Seven Holy Blood but also carried the corrosive effect of the Big Snake Bloodline. He expected Qin Tian to be at least severely injured upon impact, yet to his astonishment, Qin Tian’s body rapidly recovered solely relying on his vital energy and blood, demonstrating an absurdly strong physical resilience.

Before he could ponder further, Qin Tian had steadied himself, eyes brimming with lightning as he swung the Thunder Saber again, this time the blade not only crackled with purple lightning but also entwined with golden qi and blood, the blade light like a meteor striking the earth, slashing towards Shengongsi Hao Er.

Shengongsi Hao Er did not take it head-on, his body twisted once more, winding around Qin Tian’s arm like a serpent, while his other fist aimed at Qin Tian’s abdomen, the demon patterns on the snake-scale gloves lighting up, gray spiritual energy condensing into a snake-shaped spike.
