"Dad! I can't find the bad sister anymore! She vanished into thin air! It's like…"
Xiao Yu frowned, and Ahri, standing beside her, nodded.
"It's like the bad sister was annihilated."
"Huh??"
Mo Shuying looked puzzled. Could it be that Tamamo-no-Mae had exhausted herself and died?
The truth was not quite like that.
Tamamo-no-Mae and Kiichi Hōgen didn't even think about stopping after disengaging from battle. Tamamo-no-Mae knew very well that with two little girls around, there was nowhere she could hide.
The only option now was to leave Nihon. She heard that Huaxia's Ancestral Dragon had also revived, and Tamamo-no-Mae thought that if she could get help from the Ancestral Dragon, she would surely have nothing to fear from Mo Shuying!
As for whether Huaxia's Ancestral Dragon would help her?
Are you kidding?! What emperor isn't fond of beautiful women?!
Tamamo-no-Mae was deep in thought as the two flew over a city, when suddenly!
*"Buzz!"*
The already dim sky around them suddenly turned pitch black!
Large swaths of black and red talismans appeared in the air, each one enveloped in black and red energy! They rapidly charged towards Tamamo-no-Mae and Kiichi Hōgen!
"This is!"
Kiichi Hōgen held Tamamo-no-Mae with one hand and pulled out her feathered fan with the other. With a fierce wave, she conjured a storm that shattered the approaching talismans.
But the number of talismans seemed endless! They continuously surged from all directions!
"Ashiya Doman!!"
Tamamo-no-Mae recognized who was behind this attack. It could only be that fallen Onmyoji, Ashiya Doman!
And after an angry roar, a familiar voice emerged from the talismans.
"It's me~ How are you? Did you miss me? My two high and mighty queens~"
Ashiya Doman stepped onto a talisman and flew into the sky, looking at the two with a playful smirk.
"Kiichi Hōgen! Kill him!"
Tamamo-no-Mae was furious. Kiichi Hōgen hesitated for a moment, first placing Tamamo-no-Mae on top of a tall building, then saying,
"Be careful yourself."
With that! Kiichi Hōgen charged towards Ashiya Doman!
"Treacherous scoundrel! Die!!"
Kiichi Hōgen's unadorned blade appeared in her hand as she swiftly rushed at Ashiya Doman. She believed that since he was an Onmyoji, close combat must be his weakness.
But Kiichi Hōgen was mistaken.
Facing Kiichi Hōgen, who was almost out of magic and stamina, Ashiya Doman simply reached out and pinched!
*"Clang!"*
The rapidly thrusting blade was thus gripped by Ashiya Doman, unmoving!
"What!"
Kiichi Hōgen was astonished. To be able to take her attack bare-handed—was this still the weak Ashiya Doman?
Ashiya Doman, still smiling, said,
"What? Surprised? What made you think my body was weak? If it weren't for that monster, I haven't lost to anyone in close combat, heh…"
Ashiya Doman sneered. Kiichi Hōgen pulled hard on her blade but failed to dislodge it.
Just then, Ashiya Doman, with his free hand, formed a seal and placed it by his side, murmuring,
"Turbulent Waves… Evil Spirit Sakifu!"
In an instant, Ashiya Doman's body was enveloped in evil spirit energy, transforming him into the appearance of a red-robed Onmyoji.
Kiichi Hōgen immediately let go of her blade, thinking Ashiya Doman was about to unleash a powerful attack on her!
But in reality!
*"Boom!"*
A loud crash!
Kiichi Hōgen turned back in surprise, seeing the massive black orb that was Evil Spirit Sakifu, opening its huge mouth and biting off the top of a tall building.
There was nothing inherently wrong with that.
However! Evil Spirit Sakifu's bite! It had swallowed Tamamo-no-Mae along with it!
*"Roar!!"*
After swallowing Tamamo-no-Mae, Evil Spirit Sakifu let out an excited roar. Immediately, a reddish demonic aura overflowed from Evil Spirit Sakifu's body and mouth! Its own aura also began to grow wildly!
"You bastard!!"
He had thought he'd escaped with Tamamo-no-Mae, but in the end, she had still been harmed!
With the person who summoned her eliminated, Kiichi Hōgen could already feel her connection with Tamamo-no-Mae sever.
At this point, knowing she wouldn't last much longer, Kiichi Hōgen no longer cared about her own life or death!
"You'll die!"
Kiichi Hōgen charged at Ashiya Doman, conjuring a furious tornado!
Ashiya Doman was currently feeling Evil Spirit Sakifu growing stronger. As his Noble Phantasm, his first evil spirit, Evil Spirit Sakifu's increase in power would provide Ashiya Doman with a massive boost in combat strength!
A satisfied smile spread across his face. He opened his eyes, looked at Kiichi Hōgen, and said with a laugh,
"As expected of a legendary great demon. Even if it's been beaten until only one tail remains, the power boost is immense. And you, the legendary Great Tengu, I wonder if you taste just as good!"
Ashiya Doman licked his lips, then stepped on a talisman and rushed towards Kiichi Hōgen.
As an Onmyoji in close combat, Ashiya Doman feared no one!
*Boom!*
Just one punch! Countless talismans transformed into a torrent, smashing into the tornado. The two sides were locked in a stalemate for only two seconds before the tornado was shattered!
"What's wrong! Run out of strength? You look like a stray dog now! Kiichi Hōgen! When you were humiliating me, did you ever consider this scenario?!"
Ashiya Doman roared, attacking relentlessly! Around him, waves of red and black talismans surged, one after another, crashing continuously. Even Kiichi Hōgen quickly began to falter, her body covered in injuries.
If Tamamo-no-Mae were still here, the situation wouldn't have come to this, at least there would be ample magical energy for Kiichi Hōgen to use.
But now.
*Boom!!*
Another punch sent Kiichi Hōgen crashing into a tall building. She was about to struggle to her feet.
*Rumble!*
Two rows of massive teeth appeared before Kiichi Hōgen's eyes! They bit off the top of the building, revealing Kiichi Hōgen stuck in the wall.
"Hahahaha!"
Evil Spirit Sakifu let out a roaring laugh, seemingly mocking Kiichi Hōgen's disheveled state.
Kiichi Hōgen gritted her teeth, feeling a hint of regret. Compared to dying at the hands of someone like Ashiya Doman, she would rather die by Mo Shuying's fist!
"Ashiya Doman! You won't have a good end either!!"
Kiichi Hōgen shouted at Evil Spirit Sakifu, knowing Ashiya Doman could hear her.
And indeed, Ashiya Doman floated in the air with a cold snort, saying,
"Still spouting off when death is at your doorstep. You don't need to worry about my end; just calmly become nourishment for my Evil Spirit Sakifu!"
Ashiya Doman formed a hand seal, and the massive Evil Spirit Sakifu opened its huge mouth and bit down.
Kiichi Hōgen closed her eyes, no longer resisting. She had no strength left; even moving was difficult. She could only wait for death.
But the moment she closed her eyes!
"Ash!iya! Do!man!!"
*Whoosh!*
A fiery arrow streaked across the sky, flying directly towards Ashiya Doman!
"What!"
Ashiya Doman frowned at the attack. With a wave of his hands, a large number of talismans transformed into a wall, blocking in front of him!
*Boom!*
A violent explosion, and the talisman wall was blown apart, collapsing, revealing Ashiya Doman with a grim expression inside.
He had already seen who was attacking him.
It was a red flying ship, and at its bow stood a red-armored girl holding a longbow!
