Whoosh!
Miyamoto Touji's figure appeared as if in a flash, blocking Fang Xiu's path.
He remained with his back against the wall, his other hand raised, holding his katana against the wall opposite the alley.
One man and one knife completely blocked the alley.
He turned his profile toward Fang Xiu, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Excuse me, this road is not open..."
"Wife."
Buzz!
An eerie fluctuation appeared, the air rippled like water, and a pale figure was exposed in the moonlight, breathtakingly beautiful.
Miyamoto Touji frowned slightly, but didn't take it to heart. As a fourth-tier spirit master, he wouldn't be intimidated by the methods of a third-tier spirit master.
Spirit Masters have all sorts of strange and wonderful methods, but if their strength is not up to par, they are ultimately nothing but illusions.
Just as he was thinking this, his wife, barefoot, floated toward him like a ghost.
"Oh dear, the people of Xia are as impolite as ever, they don't even let people finish their sentences."
Miyamoto Touji flicked the hilt of the sword with his thumb, and the gleaming silver blade immediately came out of its sheath, emitting a pleasant hum.
He then lowered his body, held the knife in one hand, and struck just as his wife approached.
Whoosh!
A blade of light, like a bolt of lightning, sliced through his wife's body, seemingly cutting her in two.
After doing all this, Miyamoto Touji calmly stood up, sheathed his sword, lit a cigarette, and did it all in one smooth motion.
Then......
Pfft!
As his wife raised her hand, it felt as if some invisible attack had grazed Miyamoto Touji's neck.
A line of blood appeared on his neck, and blood splattered!
Miyamoto Touji's cigarette-lighting motion stopped abruptly, the cigarette falling to the ground. His eyes widened in shock, his previous composure turning into one of utter disbelief.
"This...how is this possible!?"
"Domain Deployment. Subjugation Demon Limit!"
A delicate shout rang out, and a powerful force rose up, instantly affecting the surrounding environment.
The silhouette of an ancient shrine in an island nation slowly emerged.
Immediately afterwards, a humanoid creature wrapped in bandages emerged from the shrine.
The bandaged man suddenly waved his hand, and a bandage shot out from his body, wrapping around Miyamoto Touji's injured neck.
Miyamoto Touji, who had previously been unable to breathe, instantly regained his breathing, gasping for air as he stared at his wife in horror, keeping a considerable distance between them.
"As expected of the captain of the Xia Kingdom, even at the third level, he can still sneak attack and injure a fourth-level expert." The woman in the kimono said with a charming smile.
"However, the same trick won't work on us. Come out, Karasu Tengu, Shuten-dōji!"
As soon as the woman in the kimono finished speaking, another man emerged from the shrine, bearing black wings, a tengu mask, and a long sword.
And a boy with a blue face and fangs, a bloated and short body, holding a huge gourd of wine.
"Oh dear, I almost died." Miyamoto Touji scratched his head with a look of lingering fear, then said seriously, "Looks like I'll have to be more serious from now on."
"Domain Unfolds. God of Slaughter's Dark Court!"
boom!
Miyamoto Touji's samurai uniform fluttered wildly in the wind, and an unimaginable, overwhelming killing intent surged from his body.
The killing intent was almost tangible, transforming into torrents of blood that surged into the sky.
In an instant, the surroundings were stained with blood, and a strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air, making people nauseous.
The blood-red killing intent clung to his body, transforming into a blood-red cloak that protected him.
"How annoying." Fang Xiu's calm voice rang out. He didn't understand why two people who were about to die could have so much nonsense.
Why can't you just obediently die?
His wife moved, her ghostly figure drifting towards Miyamoto Touji.
Holding his katana shrouded in murderous intent, Miyamoto Touji uttered a low shout: "Ittō-ryū, Iai!"
He was very confident about this strike; he had just been careless before, mistakenly believing that his wife was a physical entity, which was why he hadn't been able to hurt her.
But now that the domain has expanded, with the added power of tangible killing intent, it can cut down anything, whether tangible or intangible!
Whoosh!
A diagonal slash, a crescent-shaped blood-red killing intent, brutally sliced across his wife's body.
However, it was as if it were just passing through the air, having no effect whatsoever.
"What!" Miyamoto Touji's expression changed drastically, and he retreated rapidly without thinking.
But it was too late. As his wife gently raised her hand, a deep, bone-chilling wound appeared on Miyamoto Touji's arm.
His arm was instantly covered in blood.
"Unable to be attacked, yet able to attack others—what kind of ability is that!?"
Miyamoto Fujiji never expected that he, a fourth-tier player, would be injured by a third-tier player in succession.
Just then, a wicked glint flashed in the kimono-clad woman's eyes as she silently manipulated the tengu and Shuten-dōji to launch a sneak attack on Fang Xiu.
Her own ability is that of a shikigami, which belongs to the summoning type. Naturally, she is well aware of the weakness of the summoning type, which is that once the main body is killed, the shikigami is useless.
Although it's unclear why Fang Xiu possesses abilities similar to a shikigami, that doesn't matter. Once his true form is dealt with, the battle is over.
Fang Xiu calmly watched the tengu and Shuten-dōji attacking from the left and right, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"What an ugly creature."
He stretched out his fair and slender right hand and gently stroked his face, a flash of black flame appearing.
boom!
A burst of black flames erupted, transforming into a hideous, grotesque face. Long, silver hair, like a waterfall, appeared, and the blood-red light in the right eye intensified.
In that brief moment, Fang Xiu seemed to transform from a human into a strange god!
The woman in the kimono's expression changed slightly: "This level of power has reached the limit of the fourth rank. So this is what you rely on?"
However, Karasu Tengu and Shuten-dōji are not ordinary shikigami, but gods!
Fang Xiu leaped lightly into the air, and the raging black flames transformed into two fiery wings that appeared behind him, allowing him to hover in the air.
They easily dodged the attacks from Karasu Tengu and Shuten-dōji.
He looked down at the woman in the kimono, a sinister smile playing on his lips: "Gods? I'll show you what gods are!"
The Taotie has descended upon the world!
Black flames surged wildly, silver hair danced in the air, and blood light blazed intensely. A sense of oppression that made heaven and earth feel oppressed appeared silently.
Suddenly, the world began to chant mad, foolish, and incomprehensible ravings.
Amidst these delirious murmurs, a terrifying being descended from the void.
It is indeed a gluttonous beast!
boom!
Endless rotting flesh surged and piled up into mountains, rising from the ground and soaring into the sky.
The moment the Taotie descended, the world... fell silent.
The moment the woman in the kimono saw the Taotie, she felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were standing on the edge of an abyss.
No words can describe that magnificent, indescribable body.
Only then did she realize that her so-called gods were nothing but a joke in the face of such an existence.
