It was an old residential area on the edge of Ota Ward, Tokyo. It took the two of them some time to get here. There were few pedestrians on the street, only buildings and shadows in the setting sun, making it look a little deserted.
Ying Jing Tong was in a bad mood. She looked at Jiang Chuan Hai with a wary face and said cautiously, "I didn't ask you for help. You came here voluntarily. I won't give you any money after you exorcise the monster."
Originally, Jiangchuan came here with the dwarf just to verify what he was thinking, whether exorcising monsters would produce gray mist, which was very important for him to remove the seal on his heart.
so……
It would be fine for Jiang Chuan to go along with Sakurai Tong, but as he was about to say that, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. He changed his words temporarily and said, "Really? In that case, I won't do anything. Let Sakurai-san deal with the exorcism. If you can't defeat them and need help, you can hire me later."
She knew why the hateful guy came here - it’s bad enough to have a mission from the Tokyo Weird Countermeasures Department, but he also wanted to make money from her?
No way!!!
As a trainee in Tokyo's Monster Countermeasures Department, she has the responsibility to exorcise monsters that pose a threat to humanity. Sakurai Tong will not encourage others to become more ambitious and destroy her own prestige. She snorted coldly and said, "Then you can just hide in the back. I don't need you at all."
The dwarf was quite arrogant, but Jiangchuan didn't care. He would not lose anything whether he took action or not. If Sakurai Tong solved the monster by himself, he would just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor, waiting for the monsters to drop treasures.
…
As Jiangchuan and Yingjing Tong followed the smell of blood in the air, they gradually smelled a foul odor, like pork that was forgotten to be put into the refrigerator in the summer and quickly rotted outside, which made people want to vomit.
Damn it.
Sakurai Tong screamed and cursed. The moment she smelled the scent, she knew what it was. The monster summoned by the magic circle had begun to eat people's hearts.
She quickened her pace, and Sakurai Tong ran towards the place where the smell of decay and blood was mixed with the Sun Wheel Sword in her hand. When she turned a corner, what appeared in front of her was an abandoned parking lot with no cars parked. A monster with a bull's head, a wolf's body, tiger's claws, a leopard's tail, and several other animals was lying there eating. The food was no longer in shape, but Sakurai Tong still vaguely recognized it as half a human arm.
The monster with a bull's head, a wolf's body, a tiger's claws and a leopard's tail roared at her when he noticed someone coming and was disturbed while eating. His blood-red eyes were crazy. He dropped the half arm that was near his mouth, stood up on all fours and lowered his body, ready to pounce on new prey at any time.
Jiangchuan arrived behind Yingjing Tong and he also saw the monster with a bull head. What surprised him a little was that he actually knew the monster that was a combination of several animals. It was a monster called Niu Lu, who came from hell.
Did those pagans summon this kind of thing? Monsters tainted with the breath of hell are usually much more manic than monsters in the world, and they only know how to kill.
Seeing Niu Lu leaning forward and growling, the movements of a wild beast hunting, Jiangchuan warned, "Sakurai-san, be careful, this thing is coming from below."
What!?
Sakurai Tong was fully alert to the bull-headed monster in front of her. When she heard Jiang Chuanhai's voice from behind, she was slightly stunned and instantly understood what it meant.
but……
There was no time for her to think. The bull-headed monster from below suddenly roared, exerted force with all four claws, revealing sharp claws, and pounced on her.
Jiangchuan saw that Sakurai Tong was not afraid of the monster Niu Lu. Facing the attack, he held a small sword, slid forward, and chose to meet it head-on, showing the dwarf's own fighting style.
After narrowly dodging the attack from the monster Niu Lu, Sakurai Tong slashed the bull's head with his sword. However, the monster Niu Lu's head was extremely hard, and the small sword only left a mark on it, without causing any actual damage.
Jiang Chuan shouted to Ying Jing Tong from behind, "Come on, Ying Jing-san, if you can't do it, just hire me. Since we're so familiar with each other, I'll give you a 20% discount."
asshole!!
The damn guy was making sarcastic remarks behind her, and Sakurai Tong almost lost her concentration. Even if she died, she would never make a penny from her.
Holding her breath, Sakurai Tong's hands became more aggressive, launching a continuous fierce attack on the bull-headed monster, treating it as a beating of Jiang Chuanhai - the more she fought, the more adept she became, and she gradually gained the upper hand. The bull-headed monster was defeated and roared again, with its blood-red eyes filled with rage.
Jiang Chuan didn't know whether he should remind the dwarf again that the reason he knew this monster from the abyss was because he had seen it a thousand years ago.
The reason why the bull-headed monster is called Niu Lu is that if you think about it simply, you will know that it has two "mouths". The second mouth is where its ability lies, but it is also its weakness.
Even though Sakurai Tong is now suppressing the monster Niu Lu, human physical fitness cannot be compared with that of monsters. Without some special means, even if it is a person with special abilities, if he fights like the dwarf, he will sooner or later become exhausted, and at that time he will be close to death.
Jiangchuan could see that even if Sakurai Tong died, he would never ask him for help. Birds die for food and people die for money. The dwarf fully interpreted this sentence.
The battle between the man and the monster was fierce. Sakurai Tong gradually went from having the upper hand to being at a disadvantage. Jiangchuan saw that he had brushed past the monster Niu Lu's claws several times. Just as he expected, the dwarf began to lose his stamina.
He couldn't really watch Sakurai Tong being killed by the monster Niu Lu, so Jiang Chuan reminded him again, "Sakurai-san, there should be a second mouth under the abdomen of the bull-headed monster. That is its weak point, but be careful because it can spit fire."
Ying Jing Tong's ears twitched when she heard Jiang Chuanhai's words, but she immediately became angry and resentful. How could she hit the weak point of the other mouth under the abdomen of the bull-headed monster?
Slide tackle?!
And he can even spit fire. He thinks she's dying too slowly, right? That damn guy said it as if he hadn't said anything. He has no good intentions.
She gradually felt that she was running out of strength. If she continued to stalemate like this, she would lose sooner or later. Sakurai Tong did not expect that the bull-headed monster would be so difficult to deal with.
but……
She didn't want to ask Jiang Chuanhai for help. The damn guy must be laughing at her from behind. Ying Jingtong still remembered what she had said before. She gritted her teeth and her mind became hot. She decided to fight for her dignity!
Sakurai Tong fought with the monster Niu Lu, took advantage of the force to take a big step back, put a safe distance, half-crouched on the ground, placed the small sword on his waist, concentrated his mind, adjusted his breathing, and started the Iai Slash.
Iai-slash, also known as sword-drawing slash, the word "Iai" symbolizes the two opposing parties, and the most important thing is to kill with one strike.
Jiangchuan took a look and saw Sakurai Tong waiting for the monster Niu Lu's attack, wanting to win with a counterattack - either the enemy will die or he will die, which is usually the last resort used by a swordsman when he cannot defeat his opponent.
Is the dwarf going to fight to the death?!
