"Roar —" A fox's roar rang out within the enchantment. Pei Zi Yun groaned as the pressure doubled. He could not help but sink a little. He watched as the rain became thicker and thicker. Some of them even crawled on the ground, trying to get closer.
As for the Ghost Riders, their light armors were getting thicker and thicker. Their blades gleamed with a cold light as they galloped at a much faster speed. As they neared, more than ten riders galloped forward. They let out a shrill cry as they raised their spears and threw them at Pei Zi Yun!
The spears carried a deadly glow as they pierced towards Pei Zi Yun. At the same time, the talisman chains on Pei Zi Yun's body glowed and solidified.
It was difficult for Pei Zi Yun to move, but he was not afraid. He waved his wooden blade and shouted, "Half Moon Slash!"
A crescent-shaped sword light slashed across, and the sound of ripping cloth could be heard. More than ten demon riders were sliced into twenty pieces along with their horses, spewing out a thick black fog.
"Ah ah —" The demon rider that was left with only half a body was not dead yet. It even wanted to merge with the rest of its body, but a white flame spewed out, and it let out a tragic cry.
Seeing this, Daimaru's expression changed. Shutendoji's eyes narrowed and revealed a look of joy, "Look, Yamada can't hold on any longer."
Indeed, Tamamo looked over and saw that Yamada's body was originally covered with a layer of white light, like a membrane, preventing the chains from touching Pei Zi Yun's body.
But looking closely, when Pei Zi Yun was killing the Yellow Springs Ghost Army, the chains were like poisonous snakes, taking advantage of the opening and wrapping around Pei Zi Yun's left arm, twisting upwards.
"Half Moon Slash!"
Another large group of Ghost Army soldiers were sliced in half and turned into flames. Yamada Shinichi's expressionless face was frowning, and his face was pale.
The three demons looked at each other in surprise.
"Not only does Yamada have to fight the Yellow Springs Ghost Army, he also has to break free from the cursed chains. He's on the verge of death. It's not a waste of our efforts."
Seeing that there were only three hundred of them left, Shutendoji was eager and asked, "Should we attack together?"
"Humph, let the Ghost Army continue to wear them down. Once they're all dead, we'll attack again," Tamamo no Mae said coldly. "That way, even if Yamada has some strength left, he won't have much left."
"You really are a noble of the palace, to have such a style." Shutendoji glanced over and smiled, but his eyes were cold. Nobles were always like this, ordering their soldiers to sacrifice themselves in order to easily obtain victory.
"Tamamo no Mae does indeed have a plan."
In the void, a long horn sounded, and the rest of the Demonic Mounts formed a cone-shaped formation. The sound of horse hooves rumbled like thunder, and they launched their final charge.
"Die!" Pei Zi Yun's face turned pale, "Half Moon Slash!"
"Pu!" Another group of Ghost Riders were chopped in half at the waist, and the remaining Ghost Riders charged forward without any regard for their lives.
"Pu pu pu!" The Demon Saber slashed at his body, and cracks appeared on the protective white light. The talisman chains finally found a gap, and with a "pu" sound, they pierced into his flesh.
"Die!" Pei Zi Yun shouted out, as his body glowed with a white light.
"Hmph, the final radiance of a setting sun." Not only were the three demons not shocked, they instead revealed looks of joy.
"What a joke!" With a "pu" sound, the wooden saber slashed past two Ghost Riders, and they fell to the ground. Pei Zi Yun's eyes were gloomy, and his divine sense split into two, sinking into the void.
If anyone could see the changes in the void, they would probably be shocked.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the sky was falling and the earth was splitting.
In the void space, the Ghost Mounts were densely packed. Most of them turned into firewood the moment they landed on the ground. When they landed on the ground, most of them turned into ashes. The cracked earth on the ground swallowed and spat out a black aura, which quickly dissipated.
The incomplete shrine emitted a divine light, and the divine light slowly spread out. Everywhere it passed, the black cracks on the ground were instantly smoothed out.
Only a few samurai landed in the shrine, and turned into statues.
More importantly, there was a snake in the sky, its body glowing with light, and there were many lotus flowers on it. Each of them was a Bodhisattva, Arhat, and Vajra.
But in the rolling dark clouds in the sky, there were constant flashes of lightning and thunder. Every time the lightning struck the lotus or the snake, a part of it would melt and turn into specks of red and golden light. As if it had a spirit, it would circle around the shrine and disappear into it, shrouding the shrine in white mist.
Seeing this scene, Pei Zi Yun was overjoyed.
"The Ghost Army has repaired the foundations, but the so-called curse power is made up of divine power, demonic power, and Dragon Qi. As long as I can whittle it down, it will be a great supplement. I believe that this will make the shrine more complete."
The chain that was wrapped around Pei Zi Yun's arm, entangling him, meant that the curse would endlessly invade his body, and there was no way to avoid it. However, to Pei Zi Yun, this was something that others could not resolve, and it was just a gift.
"This kind of power, even Zeus does not have this authority, what is the Plum Blossom?"
What happened next was as Pei Zi Yun expected. The power of the curse was channeled through his body, and the moment it touched his body, it was instantly sent into the void. The moment it entered the void, it turned into golden Buddhist power and light red Dragon Qi.
"It will take some time to whittle down these powers, but this will not stop me from killing these three demons."
"If I can successfully kill them and absorb their power, I will definitely be able to ascend to godhood in this world."
"Kill!" Pei Zi Yun's eyes were bloodshot, and he killed his way through the dense crowd of enemies. Everywhere he passed, there was not a single one who could withstand a single blow.
The three demons' joyful expressions gradually froze, and they could only hear screams, the sound of collisions, and the sound of burning. Although this person looked like he was on the verge of collapse, he was still as hard as a rock, resisting wave after wave of attacks, and every time an attack ended, the Ghost Mounts would be thinned by a layer.
"This, this is really an unparalleled warrior." The Ghost Mounts had been reduced to less than a hundred, and Yamada Shinichi's face was turning black. This was a sign that the curse was getting stronger, but Yamada displayed shocking skills. Within three feet, no matter how many attacks, he killed them all.
"With this level of martial arts, even the so-called Four Heavenly Kings are far behind."
Seeing the last few Ghost Mounts fall, the entire battlefield was devoid of corpses, but the air was filled with a tragic aura. Pei Zi Yun did not care, and he waved his sword in the air.
"Haha! Indeed, Yamada Shinichi is exhausted! " Seeing this, Shutendoji could not help but laugh out loud. "Let me, Shutendoji, take your head!"
As he spoke, he raised his sword and pounced towards Pei Zi Yun.
"Wait …" Big Yue Maru wanted to stop him, but Tamamo-no-Mae stretched out her hand to stop him. She also stopped Big Yue Maru from helping Shutendoji.
"Tamamo-no-Mae, what is the meaning of this?" Big Yue Maru looked at Tamamo-no-Mae, thinking that this cunning fox would definitely be able to tell that although Yamada Shinichi was at a disadvantage, he still had some strength left.
After a while, he came to a realization. "You are … planning to kill him with a borrowed knife?"
Although Big Yue Maru was not as famous as Shutendoji, he immediately understood Tamamo-no-Mae's intentions.
There was only one Yamada Shinichi, and he did not have much Divinity in him. If the three demons were to split the Divinity, each of them would not have much. However, if Shutendoji and Yamada Shinichi were both injured, the two of them would be able to take Shutendoji's share!
Furthermore, Shutendoji was not stupid. He would rather take the risk to kill Yamada Shinichi, and get the biggest share!
Thinking of this, Big Yue Maru retracted his leg.
At the end of the day, Big Yue Maru did not think much of Shutendoji, who was originally a bandit. He did not have a deep friendship with him.
At this point, Shutendoji had already rushed in front of Pei Zi Yun.
"Yamada, you are at the end of your rope. Die!" Shutendoji was now in his true demon form. Without any hesitation, he slashed at Pei Zi Yun.
Seeing that the demon blade was about to land, Pei Zi Yun laughed. Shutendoji could not help but feel a sense of danger. However, before he could retreat, he heard a "pa" sound. The chains on Pei Zi Yun's body twitched, and one of them rebounded, wrapping around Shutendoji's body.
"This!" Shutendoji was shocked, and tried to struggle free.
"Fool! Even if I am exhausted, I can still take you down with me! " As he shouted, Pei Zi Yun's entire body turned copper red. Even his hair was not spared. In an instant, he looked like a copper statue.
As for the wooden blade in his hand, as the copper color spread to the hilt, a golden light flashed, and a layer of dazzling golden light appeared.
"Kill!" The wooden blade pierced forward.
"Damn it!" Shutendoji used all his strength to shake the chains, causing them to crack. However, the wooden blade was already in front of him. Seeing that it was about to pierce through, he gritted his teeth.
"Boom!" A layer of black light appeared on his body. This was his demonic powers.
Even if Pei Zi Yun's sneak attack was successful, he was already exhausted. To break through his demonic powers was not something that could be done in an instant.
As long as he could buy himself a moment, he could retaliate.
"Pu!" Just as he was thinking about this, the black light formed a shield. Under the golden blade, it was as thin as paper. "Pu!"
How could this be!
Shutendoji's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Without hesitation, he shouted, "Come and help me!"
However, there was no response to his cry for help. On the contrary, his defense, which could last for one or two breaths, disappeared along with his shout.
The wooden blade no longer showed any mercy. With a "pu" sound, it pierced through Shutendoji's chest.
"Boom!" White flames spewed out. It was as if Shutendoji was a huge barrel of gasoline. The flames spat out several feet.
"Why, why …" Shutendoji's eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth, "You … lied to me …"
Not far away, Tamamo-no-Mae covered her mouth and laughed. Her voice was filled with mockery, "Shutendoji, you are really stupid!"
"I have been conferred a title. Even Ōtamaru was a demon god. He had the chance to become a god. You are just the leader of the rebels. You are a lowly commoner. How can you be a god?"
"This enchantment has been secretly modified. When the eye dies, it will be used as a blood sacrifice. This will increase the strength of the eye. For the sake of our great cause, Shutendoji-kun, you shall die!"
Shutendoji wanted to say something. However, as soon as Pei Zi Yun drew his blade, he spat out white flames and fell to the ground.
As soon as he fell, a bolt of lightning appeared in the sky above the enchantment. Under the fervent gaze of Tamamo-no-Mae, the lightning struck down towards Pei Zi Yun.
Although it was only one bolt of lightning, it carried a terrifying aura.
"As long as I kill you, I will be able to … reverse the fate of the Fujiwara family!" Tamamo-no-Mae mumbled to herself.
Just as the bolt of lightning was about to hit Pei Zi Yun, Shutendoji's corpse disappeared before everyone's eyes.
