He approached Qiu Shui, who warily held a talisman and set up a barrier in the air to separate the Ghost King.
The Ghost King glanced at the barrier, then threw a punch with all his might, but... the barrier didn't break.
The Ghost King's eyes showed surprise. Qiu Shui looked at the cracks in the barrier with alarm. The barrier she had set up with all her might could withstand the full force of any SSR shikigami's attack!
Now that he can break her barrier, perhaps he is not as simple as the Ghost King.
"Onmyoji, come out on your own, and I'll spare your corpse!" The Demon King roared at her, his eyes narrowed to slits.
He had just been out slaughtering people, and his imposing aura had not yet completely faded. This desperate roar made Qiu Shui tremble all over.
After a brief moment of panic, Qiu Shui forced herself to calm down and said calmly:
"If you're so capable, then break through the barrier and come in to capture me. But I advise you to release me; my shikigami are nearby, and they'll find me soon."
The "madam" next to her looked at her and suddenly giggled.
"Onmyoji, I advise you to worry about yourself. Your poor shikigami probably haven't even arrived yet, they've already been skinned and gutted by those monsters."
Her tone was very confident.
What?
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shui's heart sank, and anger surged within her! A guess she didn't want to believe appeared in her mind.
"You have brought this upon yourselves; you will surely go to hell!"
Qiu Shui glared at them coldly.
Ignoring her threat, the woman reached out and pulled the boy, who was cowering to the side, to his feet. In a gentle voice, she said, "Now use this stick to beat her until she dies!"
The huddled boy hesitated when he saw the blood-stained wooden stick.
"Do as she says! Otherwise you'll be next to die!" the Ghost King threatened her.
The boy stood up shakily, glanced at Qiu Shui fearfully, and had no choice but to raise the wooden stick and walk towards the barrier.
“Go, mortals can pass through there.”
The lady said to him.
Qiu Shui ignored the boy with the wooden stick approaching her and looked sharply at the Ghost King beside her, asking:
"What did you do to my shikigami?!"
The Ghost King snorted but remained silent, seemingly acquiescing to something.
"They are my shikigami, shikigami I raised from childhood. How dare you hurt them!"
Qiu Shui was enraged, and a cold aura surged around her. Not far from them, a small stream instantly froze into ice.
"Are you a demon?"
"The Ghost King said in surprise."
Upon hearing this, the hesitation in the boy's eyes vanished, and he rushed to Qiu Shui, slamming the wooden stick down hard!
"ah!"
A scream rang out from the air.
The boy looked up in astonishment as a huge red hammer smashed into his arm.
A girl with a roguish air, who appeared out of nowhere, put down her hammer and gave the three people in front of her a cold look.
The Ghost King looked up at her, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "A mere demon like Mo Deng, and you're his shikigami?"
"Hehehe~~ How dare you harm an adult!"
Suddenly, a strand of hair wrapped around the Ghost King's thick neck. The Ghost King couldn't breathe, his face turned red, and his fingers moved towards his neck, about to tear the hair off.
"Guigui, let me handle this!"
A heroic voice descended from the sky. Ibaraki-doji landed on the ground, squinted at the demons in the cave, and with a single palm strike, the entire cave vanished.
"What kind of monster are you?!"
The Ghost King roared at the top of his lungs.
"I'm your grandpa!"
Shuten-dōji threw a gourd of sake at his face, and the demon king's head instantly fell to the ground.
Seeing many monsters approaching, the lady sensed something was wrong and turned to leave towards the exit. Just then, a woman with a cold and aloof appearance grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing! Let go!"
The lady shook off the woman's hand, trying to break free from her control, but just as the woman's hand left her arm, a cluster of blue flames ignited on the lady's body.
"What's this?"
The lady gritted her teeth and pulled a knife from her kimono sash. Aoandon stared coldly at the knife.
The decorative swords were not sharpened and posed virtually no threat.
"If you dare come any closer, I'll kill you!"
The woman approached Aoandon, holding the unsharpened knife in her hand.
Glug glug...
The round head rolled on the ground, and black flames ignited wherever the red head rolled.
The Demon King's body had just fallen into the hole left by Ibaraki-doji's palm strike. The hole was more than ten meters deep, and flames were burning underground.
The Ghost King's head rolled down before their eyes, and the ground began to shake as bones rubbed together.
Qiu Shui watched that place warily.
The demon is climbing step by step toward the gates of hell.
"Click!"
A voice came from behind. Qiu Shui was startled and turned around. The lady's two arms had already been crushed by the hair-eating demon.
"ah!!"
The lady let out a scream.
"What are you calling out for? We haven't even started yet! Are you in such a hurry?"
The hair-eating demon had his back to her, so Qiu Shui couldn't see his face. But the terrifying aura emanating from him could easily threaten her.
"Ghost?"
Qiu Shui couldn't help but call out to him.
The hair-eating demon turned his head with a smile, sticking his pipe into the lady's joint, and said with a radiant smile, "Father is still alive, that's wonderful~"
"You're a devil!"
Behind him, the lady stood up despite the pain, her arms covered in blood, and glared fiercely at Qiu Shui.
The blue lantern landed on her head, and a ray of blue light from the lantern fell on her. The lady's face contorted, and she screamed again.
As she cried out, the surrounding temperature rose higher and higher, becoming almost scorching. Countless red magma surged up from the ground, and the lady's face suddenly glowed red. Aoandon realized something was wrong.
The hair-eating demon turned his head before she could react, and his desperate scream echoed through the air.
"Ibaraki-dōji! Ōtengu! What were you doing just now?!"
When Qingxingdeng turned her head, she saw Qiushui's charcoal-black body and felt a chill run down her spine.
Sensing the rapidly diminishing life force recorded in the contract, all the shikigami felt a chill run down their spines.
"What have you all done?"
A deep voice rang out, and Tamamo-no-Mae appeared before everyone, accompanied by a ball of purple flame.
Just then, the Ghost King leaped from the cave into the air and landed on the ground.
Just then, he rushed up to Ibaraki-dōji and started fighting him.
"snort!"
The two clashed, and Ōtengu stepped forward to assist. Aoandon glanced at the smiling lady and casually ended her life.
"Everyone, get out!"
Sensing hordes of lesser demons surging towards them, the Great Tengu escorted everyone out of the area.
Ichimokuren reassured everyone, and a gust of wind dispersed the smoke in the air. The hair-eating demon walked at the very back, and he had been in a state of utter despair ever since his father was burned to death.
"Ghost, run!"
He urged him on.
The snow woman descended from the sky, asking in confusion, "Where is Father?"
"Father is dead."
"It's a mountain rabbit," the rabbit said sadly.
