When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

"Squeak↑squeak↓squeak↑squeak↓"

In the midsummer, the sun is scorching and the heat is unbearable. However, in this lush forest, there is a different scene.

The sound of cicadas echoes throughout the forest, like a symphony played by nature.

These little lives have silently endured for many years underground, just waiting for this moment to come - to greet the scorching sun of summer, sing to their heart's content, and then leave and enter a new cycle of reincarnation.

Just like life

Of course, none of this has anything to do with our protagonist, Kitahara Akira, he is still young.

"Why do these masters like to take root in the deep mountains and old forests?" Kitahara Xiao complained as he shuttled through the dense forest.

Summer vacation has already started for a few days. Kitahara Akatsuki is ready to join the Sword Saint Society and learn swordsmanship from Atomic Samurai as promised.

Then he discovered an embarrassing problem—he couldn't seem to contact the other party.

When we agreed, I and Atomic Samurai only made a verbal agreement and did not leave any contact information or anything.

Kitahara Akira had no choice but to find Yotsuya Miko and find her according to the address and photos she provided.

Then he ran around here for a long time like a headless fly

"Finally found!"

After crossing another bush, a large courtyard similar to the one in the photo sent by Yotsuya Miko came into view.

"Knock, knock, knock." With excitement in his heart, Kitahara Xiao walked to the door in two steps and knocked.

However, no one in the courtyard answered. Instead, the door opened slightly under his strength, revealing a narrow gap.

Kitahara Xiao took two steps back to make sure he was in the right place, then opened the door and walked in.

The layout of this courtyard is quite simple, and it is surrounded by towering walls, giving people a closed and mysterious feeling.

Inside the wall, several bungalows stand in an orderly manner, and the layout is somewhat similar to the traditional Beijing courtyard.

These bungalows may have been baptized by the years, but they are still well preserved.

Like most traditional Japanese buildings, these buildings are made of wood and look particularly fresh and elegant standing in the forest.

In the middle of the yard was an open courtyard, paved with stone bricks, and in the middle there seemed to be a spacious open-air area specially designated for competitions.

Kitahara Akira took a quick look and walked towards the largest house in the distance.

But before he had taken a few steps, Kitahara Xiao seemed to sense something and stopped moving forward.

The next moment, his figure instantly disappeared into the shadows.

Seeing this, Juian, who was hiding in the dark, widened his eyes and subconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Kitahara Akatsuki, who had disappeared behind Iai-an, patted his shoulder and said, "Hey, what are you looking at? Let me see it too."

"Clang!" Juian subconsciously drew out the sharp blade and turned to chop at Kitahara Akira.

The inky black [Shadow Power] quickly climbed up Kitahara Akira's arm and turned into an arm armor.

"Dang!" A crisp collision sound rang out.

Iai-an's full-strength sword slash was easily blocked by Kitahara Akira with one hand

"You're not strong enough. Even if I don't use armor, you can't break my defense," Kitahara Akira commented.

Facing Juian's surprised gaze, Kitahara Akira grabbed his wrist with his backhand, lifted it over his head, swung it twice, and threw it out.

"Bang!" Juian's body smashed through several walls and fell heavily in the center of the trial field. After turning over several times, he finally stabilized his body.

He raised his head and looked fearfully at Beiyuan Xiao who came out of the hole he had smashed, his eyes full of fear.

The next moment, Juian summoned up the courage to draw his sword and rush towards Kitahara Akira again.

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Kitahara Xiao's eyes.

The armor on his forearms and palms dissipated and condensed into a long sword.

【Beijing Film Stream·Transformer】

"Dang!" He didn't dodge or evade, and the shadow knife in his hand collided with Juian's weapon.

The two fought for several rounds. To be more precise, it was Iai'an who attacked unilaterally. Since he only felt a strong fighting spirit from Iai'an and no malice, Kitahara Akatsuki only defended unilaterally.

But...it's time to end

After Iai-an had done his best, Kitahara Akira drew his sword and prepared to end this unequal battle.

A slender sword suddenly inserted between the two of them, interrupting Kitahara Xiao's attack.

"Oh, I can't just sit there and watch you hurt Iai-an," said Qiu Wutachi, swinging his weapon.

She... um... His attacks were swift and agile, the kind of agility that Kitahara Akatsuki hated the most.

Iai-an heaved a sigh of relief. With the addition of Qiu Wudachi, his pressure was reduced a lot.

"Hah!" Just as Kitahara Xiao was dealing with the attacks of the two, a deep roar came from behind.

He took a quick look and saw a long drill bit pressing against his forehead.

"Dang!" Kitahara Xiaokong grabbed the tip of the drill with one hand and made it unable to move.

The samurai drill held the weapon and poked forward, but couldn't get any of it in. The difference in strength and other attributes between the two was too great.

Seeing this, Iai-an and Qiu Wudachi once again exerted their strength to form a horn and cooperated with the samurai drill to sandwich Kitahara Xiao in the middle.

The three of them are indeed brothers who have worked together for many years. Their tacit cooperation was able to temporarily hold Kitahara Xiao back when he deliberately held back.

But unfortunately, this is the limit

Tired of this battle, Kitahara Akatsuki covered his entire body with Shadow Kai, and the Shadow Knife in his hand was replaced with a Shadow Scythe.

He swung his scythe in a circle and forced the trio back

The next moment, several tough shadows climbed up the bodies of the three people and imprisoned them.

Under the astonished gaze of the three people, Kitahara Xiao rushed over and punched each of them and knocked them away.

It is impossible to die. At most, you will be injured and temporarily lose your ability to fight.

Just when Kitahara Akira thought it was over, his sixth sense sent a warning.

"Dang!" Yegrit appeared behind him and blocked Yotsuya Miko's sudden attack

"Hey, Yotsuya, is it that serious?" Kitahara Akira asked helplessly.

There was no answer, instead Yotsuya's father appeared next to Yotsuya Miko.

As soon as Yotsuya's father appeared on the scene, his appearance quickly changed from that good-natured middle-aged uncle to a huge, terrifying humanoid monster.

Yes, this is his true form. His previous human form was just an imitation of his appearance when he was alive.

The huge fists smashed towards Yegrit and Kitahara Akatsuki

Kitahara Akatsuki, covered in shadow armor, fights fist to fist

As soon as the two came into contact, Kitahara Akatsuki quickly figured out the progress of Yotsuya's father during this period.

In terms of strength alone, it's already B-level.

At this moment, Yotsuya Miko, who had been inactive, finally finished her preparations.

"Domain expansion." She raised her hands to her chest and made a complicated gesture. "Eighteen Mud Plows!"

The next moment, a huge amount of magical power formed a living field that enveloped Kitahara Akatsuki.

A blazing fire suddenly ignited in the dark area, surrounding Kitahara Xiao in the middle, and there were many cursed spirits beside him.

These cursed spirits were all captured by Yotsuya Miko's [Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique]. They were all holding large and small clamps and looking at Kitahara Akira.

"Wow?" Kitahara Akira looked around with interest at the scene that looked like the first level of the legendary Eighteen Levels of Hell - the Tongue-Pulling Hell.

"interesting"
