In Japan, gods were divided into Beast Spirits and Spirit Souls.
The so-called Beast Spirits usually referred to the spirit bodies of non-human creatures. Such existences could be understood as demons. This was also the reason why there were a large number of demons in Japanese folklore and legends.
As the name suggested, Spirit Souls were the ghosts and gods of the soul and the netherworld. They were the products of humans after death.
The common gods were Inugami, Inugami, Floating Spirits, Earthbound Spirits, and Foodies.
Among them, the Inugami referred to the soul that lingered in the world after the death of a dog. It was also called the Inugami, and it was a type of demon. The caster could summon it to bring disaster to others or protect themselves or their family.
Therefore, Chiba Yoshiko reminded Ye Chen immediately after seeing Hidemoto Jiro summon the Inugami.
Ye Chen looked at the giant black dog that was confronting a Demon Blood Guard from a close distance. It was over six meters tall. The Demon Blood Guard that he refined seemed much smaller before it.
He could not help but sneer, "It's just a mere Inugami. How dare it be called a god?"
"Is that so?"
Hidemoto Jiro smiled arrogantly and performed a series of strange hand seals with both hands. Subsequently, two red shadows appeared before him again.
One of them was an ancient military soul wearing red armor and a scarlet ghost mask. He held a blade in both hands, while the other was a woman in a kimono. However, her head was not on her body, but flying around her body.
As the two shadows appeared, the temperature of the scene suddenly dropped. A terrifying murderous aura lingered in the surroundings, causing many of the surviving members of the Chiba family to subconsciously shiver.
"Those are Demonic Ghost and Chong Mei!"
Chiba Izumi and Chiba Yoshiko cried out in shock. They looked at Hidemoto Jiro and the two shadows before him in shock.
In Japanese culture, Demonic Ghost and Chong Mei were evil spirits that were transformed from men and women after they died. They were exceptionally ferocious and valiant.
According to Japanese folklore, during the Japanese Warring States period, there was a shogunate general (equivalent to a modern battalion commander) in Edo who fell in love with the daughter of a fisherman by the sea.
Unfortunately, at that time, the Daimyo (Feudal Lords) of Japan rose to power and fought continuously. This General Shi was also a member of the frontlines, so he could not stay with his lover, the daughter of a fisherman. Before he left for the war, he could only promise to return when the cherry blossoms bloomed next year.
From then on, the daughter of a fisherman would stand by the seaside and look into the distance every day, looking forward to the blooming cherry blossoms day and night. Who would have thought that the general would be gone for four years?
During this period, the fisherman's daughter's parents died of illness one after another. After dealing with the funeral, the fisherman's daughter could not bear the pain of lovesickness, so she personally went to the frontlines to look for General Shi. In the end, what she found was a corpse wearing armor.
The daughter of the fisherman's family held back her tears and brought General Shi's corpse back to her hometown. She personally found a pair of scissors, needle, and thread to cut open General Shi's corpse. After removing his internal organs and cleaning them, she sewed them up again and put on the armor for General Shi.
In the end, the fisherman's daughter chose to be buried together with General Shi's body. However, before she died, she ordered her men to chop off her head and tie it to General Shi's body, implying that they would never be separated in life or death.
After that, the place began to be haunted, and livestock often died for no reason. The locals invited an eminent monk from Reigao to investigate, and the conclusion was that the vengeful spirits of General Shi and the fisherman's daughter did not dissipate after their deaths, turning into Demonic Ghost and Chong Mei.
After Reigao left, the place was no longer haunted.
Later generations treated it as a legend, even Chiba Yoshiko and Chiba Izumi were no exception. That was why they were so shocked when they saw the two gods that Hidemoto Jiro summoned.
"That's right, they're Demonic Ghost and Chong Mei!"
Facing their shock, Hidemoto Jiro smirked coldly, "I once relied on these three gods to escape from a western powerhouse whose strength was on par with a Sword Saint!"
He looked at Ye Chen proudly as he said to this point, "Mad Southern Ye from China, you can die without regrets since you've forced me to summon three gods at the same time today!"
"I stopped playing with your insignificant tricks a few hundred years ago. Watch how I break your so-called reliance!"
Ye Chen smirked as if he was disdainful. Subsequently, he shouted, "Demon Blood Guard, come back!"
Whoosh!
Four red shadows suddenly dashed towards him, and in the end, all of them burrowed into the flames in his pupils.
"Kill him!"
At the same time, Hidemoto Jiro shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the three gods standing before him charged at him.
The leading Hound God leaped a few meters away with a single step. Eventually, it slapped Ye Chen in the air with its palm. At the same time, it opened its bloody mouth.
Ye Chen remained unmoved. The flames in his eyes soared. Subsequently, two dazzling golden bolts of lightning shot out of his eyes. The golden bolts of lightning grew in the wind and turned into blazing flames and lightning that enveloped the Hound God.
Roar!
After the Hound God that was soaring in the air was struck by the golden lightning, its soul immediately trembled as if it had been electrocuted. It fell to the ground with a bang and turned into a wisp of black smoke that wanted to drill into the ground.
However, how could Ye Chen let it do as it wished? He stomped his foot, and the ground shone brightly. The black energy that the Hound God had transformed into bounced far away as if it had hit an iron plate.
"Buzz!"
Ye Chen activated his Divine Consciousness and turned it into an invisible hand that grabbed it. No matter how it struggled, it was useless. In the end, it exploded and turned into a ball of black light that floated toward Ye Chen.
At that moment, Hidemoto Jiro spat a mouthful of blood.
Hidemoto Jiro spat out a mouthful of blood and suddenly took a few steps back. His face was extremely pale, "You … How can a mortal like you kill a spirit body?"
"I've told you, these techniques of yours are leftovers from hundreds or even thousands of years ago!" Ye Chen smirked coldly and charged at him directly with a step forward.
Ghost Demon, who was dressed in scarlet armor, slashed at him.
Meanwhile, Chong Mei, who was next to him, turned her head quickly a few times. Her beautiful hair grew wildly and eventually turned into black threads that filled the sky. They swept at Ye Chen like seaweed that was overflowing.
"Perfect timing!"
Ye Chen did not slow down. His vast Divine Consciousness turned into an invisible net that surrounded them from all directions, "I'm lacking a formation spirit. You guys can be my guardian spirits!"
Clang!
Ghost Demon's saber landed on his body with the sound of metal colliding. The saber shattered immediately. Meanwhile, Ye Chen's body suddenly emitted a dazzling golden gleam.
From afar, he looked like a golden-armored god!
In the blink of an eye, Chong Mei's black hair that filled the sky had already attacked. However, when the black hair came into contact with the golden gleam that was blossoming on Ye Chen's body, it started burning immediately and black smoke curled up.
Ugh …
As a scream rang out, the black hair that filled the sky seemed to have been stimulated and quickly retracted. It was even faster than before.
At the next moment!
An invisible net enveloped them on the spot. The net quickly shrank, and no matter how they struggled to escape, they could not escape. In the end, they turned into two black talismans that fell to the ground.
