Chapter 521 Demonic Heritage
521
A faint black mist enveloped the entire complex, like a vast curtain, isolating the mansion from the outside world. This dark energy flowed subtly, sometimes condensing into vortices, sometimes dissolving into wisps of green smoke, eerie and mysterious.
Tang Yue frowned, concentrating on this mysterious force. She slowly extended her hand, trying to sense its origin and operating principles. As her fingertips touched the black mist, a piercing chill ran down her arm, as if she had touched millennia-old ice.
She was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, using her spiritual power to circulate in her body to dispel the cold.
"This seems to be some kind of formation. But why doesn't it look like something from the righteous path?" Tang Yue muttered to himself, his eyes full of vigilance.
She gazed from the sky, carefully observing the distribution and changes of the black power. She discovered that this power seemed to have some subtle connection with the layout of the building complex. The position and angle of each building seemed to be carefully designed to echo the formation.
Tang Yue knew that the Jiushan family had found a capable person to protect them. But did they think that this would stop her?
Tang Yue hovered in mid-air, a faint, transparent aura of spiritual energy lingering around her. She gazed serenely at the black force enveloping the buildings. Amidst the swirling black mist, faint dark red lines swirled, like the evil blood coursing through a demon's veins, exuding a palpitating, oppressive feeling.
"Demonic energy...is actually the method of the demons." Tang Yue muttered to himself, with a hint of surprise and solemnity in his voice.
Yes, Japan's spiritual energy is exhausted, so in order to set up such a sophisticated formation, they must have come up with other means. It is not difficult to guess that they have a close connection with the demons.
To her surprise, the demonic techniques could be passed down in Japan. She wanted to explore the secrets within. At the same time, she was wary. Once infected with demonic energy, it would be like a thorn in the flesh, extremely difficult to dispel. A single misstep could lead to irreparable doom.
She had heard in the sect's lectures that many righteous cultivators were trapped by the demonic energy of the demons and eventually embarked on a path of no return. Therefore, Tang Yue did not dare to underestimate them.
She took a deep breath, and a brilliant white spiritual power condensed from her fingertips, which shot towards the formation like a meteor streaking through the darkness.
The moment the spiritual power touched the black fog, the entire space seemed to solidify. Then, the black fog surged violently like a boiling oil pan, making a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound, as if countless evil spirits were wailing.
Tang Yue's eyes glared, and she summoned her spiritual energy to investigate. She keenly sensed that while this formation was strange and unpredictable, its strength was comparable to that of a righteous cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. If it had been anyone else, this formation would have truly stopped them. However, they encountered her.
"In that case, there's no need to go through so much trouble." A slight arc appeared on the corner of her mouth. Tang Yue quickly formed seals with her hands, muttered something, and then suddenly swung out a palm.
A massive white spiritual palm appeared out of thin air, carrying a devastating aura as it fiercely struck the formation. "Boom!" With a resounding bang, the black fog violently vibrated, and space itself seemed to distort.
Under the continuous pressure of the spiritual power palm, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the surface of the formation and expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, the formation seemed to sense the danger, and the black mist suddenly surged wildly, condensing into giant demonic hands that grabbed at Tang Yue. Wherever the demonic hands passed, the air was corroded with black marks and emitted a pungent fishy odor.
Tang Yue's eyes were firm and fearless. Spiritual energy flowed around her body, forming an indestructible white barrier in front of her.
The demonic hand slammed heavily onto the barrier, unleashing a dazzling burst of light and immense force. Tang Yue's body swayed slightly, but she paid no heed, increasing her spiritual power output. The barrier shone brightly, shattering the demonic hand one by one.
Taking advantage of the moment when the formation's defense was loose, Tang Yue once again condensed her spiritual power, pushed out with both palms, and a more powerful white beam of light shot out from her hands, rushing straight towards the core of the formation.
"Boom!" With a deafening roar, the formation collapsed under the weight, and a black mist drifted from the air. Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. That's it? It didn't seem so good.
Tang Yue's figure flashed, and like a streak of white light, she rushed directly into the Hatoyama family.
When Tang Yue's spiritual power touched the black formation, an old man in the Jiushan family's house opened his eyes. "Here it comes!"
After that, the seven people immediately fled out of the yard. Hatoyama Chuan had a serious expression on his face. He had expected the thieves to come, but he didn't expect them to come so soon.
He sat still in the room, knowing that this was not the time for him to take action. Their fighting style was beyond his comprehension.
Tang Yue rushed into the Jiushan residence like a streak of white light. As soon as she landed, the ground shook from the force of her impact. Before she could regain her balance, seven dark shadows swarmed out from all sides like ghosts, surrounding her.
In the darkness of the night, the faces of the men in black were hidden beneath their hoods, revealing only a pair of eyes glowing with a faint light, as ferocious as a hungry wolf staring at its prey.
"Little girl, you dare to trespass into the Jiushan family? Today, this is where you will die!" The leading black-clad figure spoke in a hoarse, low voice, as harsh as sandpaper. As soon as he finished speaking, the seven men attacked simultaneously, their magical instruments and treasures flashing with strange light as they charged towards Tang Yue.
Tang Yue's eyes flashed when she saw the magic weapons and spiritual treasures in the hands of several people. The spiritual power around her suddenly surged, forming a circle of white spiritual power shield on her side.
The black-clad figure on the left took the initiative, brandishing a pitch-black scimitar, the blade swirling with black demonic energy, aiming straight for Tang Yue's throat. Tang Yue dodged to the side, and the scimitar grazed her cheek, stirring up a gust of wind.
She kicked out, infusing spiritual power into her toes. The man in black couldn't dodge in time and was kicked in the chest. He flew backwards and hit the wall in the distance heavily.
However, this was just the beginning. The two people on the right swung out chains at the same time. The chains were inlaid with sharp barbs, drawing two black arcs in the air, blocking Tang Yue's retreat.
Tang Yue formed seals with her hands and shouted softly, "Break!" A white arrow of spiritual power shot out from her fingertips and hit the chain accurately.
With two "cracks", the chain broke, and the flying iron chips drew tiny sparks in the air.
But the black-clad men continued to attack, and the remaining four men attacked from different directions. One of them held a mace, which emitted a strong demonic energy and smashed it down towards Tang Yue's head;
Another person raised a small black flag, and as the flag was waved, countless black mists surged out, trying to trap Tang Yue; the other two people used magic skills, formed seals with their hands, and chanted something, preparing to launch a powerful spell attack.
Tang Yue's eyes were deep, her form swift as lightning, weaving through the dense onslaught. Facing the mace attack, she bent her fingers into a sword, and a beam of white sword light slashed out, colliding with the mace, erupting in a dazzling burst of light. The immense impact force sent the mace-wielding individual retreating in succession.
Then she tapped the ground on her toes and jumped into the air, avoiding the black mist. At the same time, the spiritual power in her hand condensed and turned into a white lightsaber, slashing towards the two people who cast spells.
Seeing they couldn't contain Tang Yue, the men in black intensified their attacks. They coordinated well, shielding each other and constantly changing their formations, making it difficult for Tang Yue to find any flaws.
Tang Yue didn't expect that these people didn't have much demonic energy, but they were all quite skilled. If she continued like this, she would be exhausted. She still had a lot of things to do in Japan, so there was no need to fight here.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she formed seals with her hands and shouted softly: "Ten Thousand Swords Technique!"
In an instant, the sky was filled with bright light, and countless white sword shadows appeared out of thin air, shooting towards the man in black like a rainstorm.
Seeing this, the men in black changed their expressions and cast defensive spells to try to resist the sword shadow's attack.
But Tang Yue's attack was too powerful, and the sword shadow easily penetrated their defense. The men in black screamed one after another, and their bodies were scratched by the sword shadow in many places. The blood dyed their black clothes red.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the leading man in black had a fierce look in his eyes. He took out a black pill and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.
