As soon as Sei Itō arrived at the battle site, Red Lotus's voice immediately entered his ears, "Crystal Release: Sword Dance in Hand."
"Little girl's methods are strange, but it's impossible for her to beat me with this." At this time, at the end of the corridor, the short old man who had been to the scene was standing there leisurely. He was talking to Red Lotus, who was about the same height as him and had transformed into twelve strange spirits according to the image of the twelve zodiac signs, fighting together.
"Hmph, Crystal Release: Imperial Spirit Crossing Technique." Red Lotus, who was dissatisfied with the old man's words, snorted coldly. Her hands quickly formed a seal, and then she slammed them on the ground. Her hands were blocked by the weapons in the hands of the Twelve Spirit Servers, and she didn't cause much damage to them.
Then, a pile of messy blue crystal spikes quickly rose in front of Red Lotus and rushed toward the twelve spirits and the old man who was guarding behind them in the corridor.
The corridor of the Environment Ministry office was not very wide, only enough for three people to walk side by side. Therefore, Red Lotus's dense crystal spikes basically covered the entire corridor as soon as they appeared, leaving the twelve spirits with nowhere to hide. Even the three spirits, Mouse, Rabbit, Tiger, and Snake, who used their own methods to escape from the gaps of the crystal spikes, suffered a lot of damage.
However, Spirit-branded Retainers weren't living beings. Even if they were pierced into a sieve, they wouldn't die as long as their cores weren't destroyed. That was why Spirit-branded Retainers with slightly larger bodies, such as cows, horses, pigs, and sheep, didn't disappear even after being pierced into the crystal.
"Oh, how can you be so cruel to an old man?" The old man who was also in the path of the crystal spikes said in a mocking tone. He immediately jumped back and at the same time, took out several talisman papers with his shriveled hands and shook them in front of him. In an instant, a large shield made of talisman papers appeared in front of the old man, completely blocking Red Lotus's crystal spikes.
"Bang!" The collision between the two produced a dull sound that echoed in the corridor.
Red Lotus ignored the old man. After seeing that his attack was blocked, he squatted on the ground and quickly formed a seal with his hands. Then, he shouted to Mouse and Rabbit that were about to rush in front of him. "Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison."
As soon as Red Lotus finished speaking, a ball of red light suddenly lit up under the feet of the rat and the rabbit shikigami. Then it suddenly rose up and enveloped the rat and the rabbit shikigami. In the next second, it directly solidified into a pink transparent crystal, sealing the two spirits inside.
"Break." At this time, Red Lotus' hand seal changed as he shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, slender cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the crystal that sealed the rat and rabbit shikigami. Then, with a crisp cracking sound, it shattered into countless crystal fragments and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Then, Red Lotus didn't even look at the two Spirit-branded Retainers who had turned into talismans during the process of the crystal shattering. He directly launched Crystal Release: Emerald Crystal Sword, forming a crescent-shaped sword on his arm, and used Taijutsu to fight the tiger and snake shikigami that rushed over.
In the end, Red Lotus was a ninja under Orochimaru. Although he had not broken through to Jonin when he was taken away by Sei Itō, his combat experience of surviving in the environment of Otogakure where he could die at any time was not a joke. What's more, after such a long practice in the Magic Cube world, not only has his strength already broken through to Jonin. He had even learned some messy combat techniques. His overall strength was even higher than Red Lotus's in the original work. Thus, he wasn't at a disadvantage when facing Shikigami who didn't know what pain and fear were. He was able to put up a decent fight against them.
"It seems that this old man is the person in charge of the Environment Province's Hokkaido branch." Sei Itō, who had been watching the two fighting, thought, then reached out and pressed on the wall beside him. He launched an alchemy attack on the old man.
Sharp stone pillars suddenly emerged from the wall beside and above the old man, quickly stabbing towards the old man's body.
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this. Once again, he shook his hand and threw out dozens of paper talismans, making it change into a yellow turban strongman with only the upper body and iron armor in front of him. The strongman's body resisted the stone pillar's attack.
Then, the old man shook the talisman paper in his hand again, and a strange talisman paper puppet appeared in front of him. Its arms were ridiculously thick, but its body was only the size of the short old man's. It waved its fists and smashed around.
Under the pounding of the strange fists, whether it was the crystal summoned by Red Lotus Crystal Release or the stone pillars that kept emerging from the surrounding walls, they all shattered like fragile eggs.
Sei Itō's face showed a surprised look when he saw this, and then his mind turned, directly converting alchemy into Mokuton Ninjutsu. Then, branches as thick as an adult's arm suddenly burst out from the surrounding walls, intertwining into a tree net, blocking the old man's surroundings, and a large number of thorns grew to bind the old man.
"Who are you? Why don't you show yourself?" The old man's expression froze when he saw the branch, and he immediately shouted.
"Are you looking for me?" As soon as the old man's voice fell, a wooden humanoid figure slowly emerged from a relatively thick branch trunk around him, then stretched out its upper body and turned into Sei Itō's appearance, looking at the old man and asking.
Looking at Sei Itō's appearance, the old man couldn't help but frown, secretly controlling the two puppets to return to his side, and asked, "Why are you attacking the Environment Province Hokkaido Branch?"
"Why … If I really want to say it, it's probably to train soldiers." Sei Itō tilted his head slightly and said as if thinking.
"Training soldiers." Hearing this, the old man frowned again, looking back at Red Lotus who had finished off the tiger shikigami and was fighting with the snake shikigami, and repeated.
"That's it." Sei Itō chuckled.
"Don't you know that the Environment Province is backed by our Tsuchimikado Clan?" The old man said with a threatening tone.
"I know." Sei Itō said with a faint smile, "But for me, it doesn't matter if it's Tsuchimikado or not. As long as there's something I need, I'm willing to break into the Imperial Palace of the Japanese Emperor."
"It seems that we have nothing to talk about." The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Sei Itō.
Sei Itō chuckled, and controlled his body to retract back into the branch.
"Where do you think you're going?" When the old man saw this, he directly shouted and controlled the giant fist puppet to punch the branch where Ito Seiji was.
But the obstruction that the old man expected didn't appear at all. The giant fist puppet's fist landed firmly on the branch, smashing Sei Itō, who hadn't completely retracted back into the branch, into several pieces.
However, when the old man controlled the giant fist puppet to attack the branches, a large number of new branches came from all directions to entangle him. Although the old man tried his best to control the armored puppet to defend himself, he still could not withstand more and more branches entangling him. In the end, he was tightly wrapped by dozens of branches.
At this time, Sei Itō's figure suddenly appeared above the old man's head. His hands formed a seal, and his cheeks moved as he spat out a large fireball at the branches wrapped around the old man.
"Fire Release: Tiny Fireball Technique."
The huge fireball ignited the branch, and it burned fiercely inside.
After the initial pause, the giant fist puppet on the side was immediately controlled by the old man, and it swung its fists at the burning branch.
Seeing this, Sei Itō jumped down from the top of the wall, and quickly rushed in front of the giant fist puppet. His hands were powerlessly pressed against the giant fist puppet's chest, and he used the power in his body to attack.
"Double Binding Palms."
Powerful Qi gushed out from Sei Itō's palms like two high-pressure air guns, and the giant fist puppet's body was sent flying. It smashed through the broken branches, and hit the wall at the end of the corridor.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and a large number of cracks appeared on the wall behind the giant fist puppet. Some small pieces of soil and gravel fell from the cracks.
Then Sei Itō snapped his fingers, and a small flame appeared between his fingers. Sei Itō threw it at the giant fist puppet. In the blink of an eye, the small flame turned into a long flaming dragon and bombarded the surface of the giant fist puppet.
"Boom!" Another loud sound was heard, and a ball of blazing fire appeared, wrapping around the body of the giant fist puppet, burning fiercely.
"Pa pa pa pa ~" At this moment, cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the crystals formed by the Red Lotus Crystal Release. Then, they suddenly exploded, shattering into a pile of crystal fragments that fell to the ground with a series of crackling sounds.
"Senpai," Red Lotus, who was walking slowly on the crystal debris, came to Sei Itō's side and said in a low voice.
"Use Pentagonal Crystal Prison on this fireball." Sei Itō pointed to the burning branches in front of the old man and the giant fist puppet.
"Yes, Senpai." Red Lotus replied, and immediately made a Ninjutsu Seal with both hands and launched Crystal Release: Pentagonal Crystal Prison.
Immediately, a huge pink transparent crystal pillar appeared outside the branches, and sealed the burning branches, the flames on the branches, and the old man inside, standing in place like an ice sculpture.
"Destroy it," Sei Itō said in a low voice.
Red Lotus didn't say anything when she heard this, and directly changed her hand seal and shouted. "Break!"
As soon as her voice fell, a large number of cracks appeared on the surface of the huge crystal pillar, and the cracks spread to the whole body of the crystal pillar at an extremely fast speed, and then with a crisp sound, it shattered into countless pieces and scattered on the ground.
"Let's go and see the others." After absorbing the world force and soul fragments of the old man's death, Sei Itō said.
Then Sei Itō and Red Lotus left the floor where the battle took place and began to move around. At this time, the battle in the building was almost over, and there were corpses of the members of the environment team everywhere.
Seeing this, Sei Itō directly sent the injured members back to the Rubik's Cube world for treatment, and he continued to move around the building with the intact members until all of them gathered in one place.
