"Boom!"
The entire building and the souls of hundreds of people were instantly swallowed. The vortex above the building, under the horrified gaze of Kuwako Sakato, Naomi, Kanna, and a few others, suddenly expanded and 'swallowed' the entire building.
"Oh no, the building is shaking!"
"Retreat! Retreat! "
"Don't push! Retreat in an orderly manner! "
The police downstairs were frightened by the movement, and the cadres felt that something was wrong. They shouted and ordered the people present to retreat.
Almost at the same time, the two attendants helped Tokugawa Hisashi up and retreated without saying a word.
Togawa Hisashi was pulled back by the attendants. He was experienced in society and naturally knew that he couldn't trouble his subordinates at this time. He was silent for a moment and didn't say anything, but he didn't forget to look up and see that the towering building was shaking visibly.
The extent of the shaking was frightening, like a small toy being shaken left and right by a naughty child.
There was clearly no explosion, and the building that was quiet a moment ago suddenly had such a sudden change. It was simply frightening. There were many buildings and even civilians in the vicinity!
"What's going on?"
Togawa Hisashi thought it was ridiculous. He suspected that this change might be related to Yamada Shinichi, but he didn't want to think about such a terrible possibility. The Watanabe Building collapsed under his gaze.
"Boom! Boom!"
More than ten floors of the building collapsed in an instant, and part of the building fell and smashed into a nearby building.
Although the vicinity of the Watanabe Building had long been evacuated, there were still some people, especially the reporters, who stayed behind. Among them were the reporters who had been standing in front of the window of the neighboring building, trying to spy on the situation inside the building with binoculars. At this time, when they saw the behemoth crashing down, they were scared stiff.
"No!"
"Boom!"
With the heavy crash, part of the building also began to shake, and the screams were drowned out by the loud rumble. Dust exploded, and a piece of gravel fell from the sky and smashed into Hayakawa Naomi's side, almost crushing her.
But Naomi stood up and rushed inside. "Not good, Yamada-kun is in danger!"
Kuwako Sakato was agile and pulled her back, shouting, "Are you crazy? It's so dangerous inside, you can't run around!"
The collapse caused the streets to fall into chaos, and the citizens screamed in panic. Fortunately, they had the relevant education, and they all ran away in an orderly manner.
"Yamada-kun is fine. You can't give him trouble!" Kuwako Sakato didn't say anything and pulled her arm to run to safety.
Hayakawa Naomi struggled. "But Yamada-kun is in danger! We can't just leave him be!"
His voice was mournful, and it made Kanna, who was following him, feel uncomfortable.
However, in this situation, they could only go to the safe zone. Staying here would only be sending them to their deaths.
Even Genko, who was a deity, could do nothing about it. She could only comfort him, "Believe me, Yamada-kun is not dead — he is not dead!"
Boom!
"Hold me tight."
Pei Zi Yun brought Ya Zi and ran forward. The hall was filled with fallen debris and debris. He used his body to protect Ya Zi. Seeing that the entire building was about to collapse, he squinted his eyes.
"The exit has been sealed."
The whirlpool in the sky was spinning crazily, gathering energy. Pei Zi Yun stared at the whirlpool. It was hard to fathom the depth of the whirlpool, but the ones pulling it were three demons.
"If I kill these three demons, or one of them, I will definitely be able to break this shackle." He immediately summoned at all costs. "My power is not enough now, but I can transfer power."
Just as he was thinking, he heard a bang. A bolt of lightning fell and swept away the collapsed building. White light suddenly exploded.
Puff! Pei Zi Yun subconsciously swung his sword.
Danbo Country, Dajiangshan
Dajiangshan was a continuous range of mountains. The highest was no more than 832.5 meters. Climbing to the top, one could see Ruoi Bay, Danhou Peninsula, and when visibility was good, one could see Ice Mountain, White Mountain, and Mount Atago.
Originally, it was not too high, and it was winter. However, there was a place where the demons were entrenched, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
The demon in the middle suddenly frowned and raised his head. Blood was dripping down his face. In his arms was a young girl. As soon as he loosened his grip, she fell to the ground. Her chest did not rise or fall, and her beautiful eyes were wide open, but there was no life in them.
"Your highness, she is just a human. Even if she is about to become a god, she would not be able to resist the combined forces of you and the two lords."
"There are many female demons here today. If you like, why don't we drink some good wine from the human city and have them dance for you?"
A demon who thought that he had some face in front of Shutendoji saw the change in his expression and frowned. He wanted to persuade him to relax.
This was a very normal thing to do. With Shutendoji's tolerance, he would not even kill his subordinates when they provoked him.
The demons sitting below were all drinking and chatting happily. Ever since their king returned successfully, there was nothing to worry about. This was their base camp. Even the emperor of the capital had to hide in the palace and tremble, not daring to go out easily.
The human nobles relied on the barrier of the capital, but something had happened. Now, the barrier was no longer an existence that the great demons were afraid of.
"Ah!"
Just as the demons were drinking, a scream caused their hands to freeze. When they turned their heads to look, they could not help but widen their eyes.
How could this be?
The demon who went forward to persuade them to drink had been cut into two. He was not dead yet and was screaming on the ground. Instantly, all the demons present fell silent.
After all, he was a great demon. No matter how calm he was usually, he was temperamental.
In this stiff atmosphere, a female great demon sitting at the side had a relaxed expression. She even teased, "What's wrong? You can't even control your own emotions?"
"If that's the case, how can I become the ruler of the demon country?"
Although Yamada Shinji's strength was somewhat unexpected, this alone was not enough to make Shutendoji lose his composure to this extent.
Shutendoji frowned, feeling somewhat vexed.
He had been in a state of shock and had yet to regain his senses. When he felt something approaching him, he subconsciously slashed down with his sword.
When he regained his senses, this loyal subordinate had already been slashed to death.
If he said that he did not do it on purpose, he would lose the dignity of a great demon. He might as well accept the fact that demons thought he was temperamental.
However, since Tamamo-no-Mae had spoken, the situation was different. He immediately sneered and used the tip of his tongue to lick his canine teeth. A faint smell of blood seeped out. He stretched out his hand and said, "In that instant, we had already returned to our original form. The thing maintaining the door was only an illusion formed by power. However, I am …"
Ōyomaru, who had been silent all this while, squinted his eyes and looked over. He saw a thin wound on Shutendoji's outstretched hand, and a sleeve had been cut off.
Tamamo-no-Mae immediately came to a realization, and her expression changed slightly. "You're saying that when he slashed your illusion, it was equivalent to capturing your real body?"
This was the reason why Shutendoji was in a daze. He frowned in annoyance. "Yes, I feel like I was just a little bit away from being locked down and killed. This is …"
"The authority of a god."
"Yamada Shinji is really only half a step away from becoming a god."
The three Great Monsters looked at each other in dismay. After a long time, Tamamo-no-Mae forced a smile and said, "However, I sensed that our backup plan separated him from that human girl. That girl is his weakness. We should capture her as soon as possible."
"It's just a human girl. There's no need for us to take action personally. We should conserve our strength and prepare to face the real enemy," Ōyomaru said.
"Ōyomaru, you only care about strength and not the heart. You won't live long." Tamamo-no-Mae teased. She suddenly frowned. "Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
Under the watchful eyes of the two great demons, Tamamo-no-Mae opened her folding fan and stood in front of them. "No, it's nothing. You're right. We can't do it alone. Let's use all the strength we have among the demons and humans. If not, we'll die."
He was a man who was only half a step away from becoming a god. Even the little girl had disappeared into thin air.
It was a power that she had once known and feared.
Did Takama-ga-hara really care so much about this man's weakness?
She raised her head and looked at the snow falling from the sky.
Fine snowflakes fell from the dark sky, making the road that was covered in mud and dung a little cleaner.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and said to the middle-aged man beside him, "Yamazaki, do you see the city in front of us?"
The middle-aged man was a samurai, Yamazaki Ichiro.
Usually, at this time, the sun would have just set. However, it had been raining and snowing for the past few days, causing the sky to darken very quickly.
Yamazaki Ichiro was one of the warriors who accompanied Yamada Shinichi to Heian Jing, but his role was not small. This was because Yamada Shinichi had never been to Heian Jing before, and he was fortunate enough to follow the transfer of the grain to the capital, and arrived here a few years ago.
The so-called grain transfer was the grain that was transported from the public lands to Heian City.
Originally, Yamazaki Ichiro could only take on the task of transporting the grain. However, this time, he was under orders from the Minister of State and Izumi Shou Tachibana to deliver a letter to the Madam.
The Madam and Izumi Shikibu were the daughters of the Echizen Shou Oeya. Their statuses were very high. Even if they were to deliver a letter, it was not a job that an ordinary samurai could do. Thus, Yamada Shinichi of the Yamada family, who owned 550 stones, was in charge. Yamazaki Ichiro's assistance was needed to determine the direction and travel.
Unfortunately, the road was not safe. Originally, there were three people who set off, but now there were only two left.
Looking at the silhouette of the city in the distance, Yamazaki Ichiro immediately said in surprise, "Yamada Temple, that is Heian City. We finally arrived before the gates closed!"
The journey was not easy, and they even lost one person because of the bandits. How could they not be happy when they finally reached their destination?
However, Yamada Shinichi did not seem to be happy. He looked at the city and frowned.
"Yamada Temple, is something wrong?" Yamazaki Ichiro asked in confusion. He gripped the hilt of his sword and looked around warily.
Pei Zi Yun smiled and looked at Yamazaki Ichiro. He smiled and shook his head, "No, nothing. Let's go!"
