[Soul of Chess] Xia Lei

That person is not Taya Ryo!Absolutely not!

There was a voice in his heart shouting fiercely, so that his panicked heart had a normal heartbeat for a few beats at least, so he didn't have to worry about death due to arrhythmia.

He was also convinced that the person with gloomy expression, cold brows and eyes, and cold words would not be Taya Ryo.

There's no way Taya would look like this!And, moreover, he can sweep out that kind of thing with a wave of his hand!

but……

If the person behind is not Ryo Taya, where is the real Taya?

And why does that person look exactly like Taya?

After realizing this, Shindo Hikaru felt that his head to toe became cold in an instant, his scalp was even numb, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

Who will be the... person behind?

Where is Taya?

Trapped by these two problems, he even forgot to run far away to avoid this abnormal human being behind him.

In other words, he was so oppressed by the aura of the man behind him that he didn't dare to act rashly, not even to take a deep breath.

At that moment just now, the boy behind him showed a powerful coercion and a suffocating aura that Ta Yaliang had never seen before. For a moment, Shinto Hikari felt his legs go weak.

The imposing manner displayed by that person in an instant... was so powerful and frightening that he couldn't face it.

When his mind went blank, there was another sound behind him.

This time, it was a strange voice, with undeniable anger: "What are you doing?!"

He heard the young man behind him reply indifferently with his extremely familiar voice: "This thing has already violated the precept of killing. Since He Mao is an onmyoji, he is naturally obliged to remove it."

Onmyoji...? !

The strange voice sounded again, this time with a bit of exasperation: "The precept against killing? Yes, this spirit has violated the precept against killing before, but it has devoted itself to cultivating since following me and is dedicated to goodness! Your Highness He Mao, let me ask you , what qualifications do you have other than it?!"

He was answered with the usual indifferent tone. "Don't say that your lord's shikigami has committed murder, even if it didn't, it doesn't mean it won't commit it in the future. What's more, this thing is trying to devour my spiritual power today. If it wasn't for my lack of cultivation, I'm afraid it would have succeeded. Master Qingming As the number one onmyoji in ancient and modern times, he should understand this truth."

Seimei... Shinto Hikari suddenly heard a familiar name, and couldn't help being taken aback.

... I seem to have heard of this name somewhere.

He repeated it several times in his mind, and suddenly his whole body froze.

Seimei Abe? !

No, isn't it...? !

While Hikari Shinto, who was hiding behind the pillar, was digesting the information he had heard, the two people in the courtyard were already in an atmosphere of tension.

Abe Seimei glanced unswervingly at the last trace of black smoke drifting far away on the ground, watching his shikigami being wiped out under He Maoming's spiritual power, showing a trace of sullenness in him who has always been moody.

The palace fan was put away inch by inch, and Abe Seimei stared at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in front of him, with a chill between his brows that could not be ignored.

He slowly showed a smile, which was originally a smile with a peerless appearance, but because of the condensed expression, he was not angry or pretentious.

"Your Highness He Mao, when I came to your time and space by chance that year, I reminded you that if you are too strong, you will be broken. If an Onmyoji is too obsessed with spirit bodies, and will not ask right and wrong, if he meets him, he will kill him..."

The palace fan pointed directly at He Maoming's heart.

"In my heart, it is inevitable that there will be demons."

In summer, a rare breeze blows.

He Maoming didn't dodge or avoid, his deep eyes stared directly at the person in front of him.

Qi Er's short hair moved slightly, and a few strands of bangs slipped between his brows, but he couldn't let his eyes stagger by a line.

It's not unreasonable for Abe Seimei to be regarded as the number one onmyoji in ancient and modern times. He easily subdued Liuwei and saved himself and the light when the six-tailed thunder beast caused disasters in Heianjing.

He knew the strength gap between the two of them.Take just now, he killed a shikigami of Abe Seimei's magic power, but Abe Seimei did not suffer any backlash or damage, which is enough to show how powerful he is.

but--

This is no excuse for him to back down!

He must defeat this person in front of him, no matter what method he uses!

Stared at by the young man in front of him with terrifying and determined eyes, Abe Seimei seemed not stressed at all, still smiling slightly, but the chill between his brows faded a lot.

He has experienced countless chaotic time and space, and the gods and Buddhas of the twenty heavens can't stop him from coming and going freely. He has no idea how much time he has walked in the long river of life.

With the gradual growth of spiritual power, no onmyoji can match him, and few can arouse his fighting spirit.

It's been a long time... I haven't encountered such an interesting situation.

Although he borrowed someone else's body, he will never forget those eyes that are as bright as stars.

How far can this child with shining eyes and a future, relying on his own extraordinary talent and acquired hard work, go?

He was really looking forward to it.

"Four generals, how many can you summon?"

"Three." He Maoming answered without hesitation, his expression awe-inspiring. "Suzaku, White Tiger, Azure Dragon."

"Really, Xuanwu is still missing..." Abe Seimei took back the palace fan, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "If this is the case, let's compete."

He Maoming's eyes lit up, and he saluted immediately: "Thank you, Master Qingming."

"No need to thank you," Abe Seimei smiled, "I have always opposed your behavior of killing spirits. Today you even killed one of my shikigami. Therefore, in this competition, I If you don’t know how to release water, it depends on how long you can last.”

He Maoming smiled slightly, but there was unquestionable firmness between the corners of his eyes and brows.

"Naturally the last moment!"

He Maoming had a reason to win, so this time he competed very hard, with both mana, spiritual power and mind power, and even successfully summoned the god general Xuanwu at a critical moment.But just when he was trying to break Abe Seimei's immovable vajra bondage by sacrificing his own life, Abe Seimei suddenly stopped.

There was something wrong with his expression, both helpless and distressed. "Ah...it's not good..."

As soon as the palace fan was closed, he withdrew all the magic circle shikigami, and smiled apologetically at He Maoming who was about to perform the spell: "His Royal Highness He Maoming, today's competition may not be able to continue. There is an emergency at Qingming's house, so I have to go back quickly." Alright...for this competition, let's fight another day."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for He Maoming to speak, he raised his hand and summoned a crane, and floated away leisurely.

He Maoming was almost pissed off, he was so angry that he looked down on his spells.

He wanted to catch up, but he didn't have the mental tension when facing the enemy. He relaxed his body and knelt on the ground.

"...huh...huh..."

Panting violently, he raised his hand to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his nearly exhausted spiritual power almost made him faint.

Sure enough...was it because of his body...so tired that he wanted to pass out immediately.

Exhaustion surged like mountains and seas, and He Maoming shook his head vigorously.

No... If you just faint like this...

He Maoming tried his best to support himself on the ground with his hands, stood up with his strength, and staggered towards the courtyard not far away.

Going around the pillar, the boy with golden bangs sat on the ground leaning against the pillar, as if he hadn't noticed the earth-shattering spell competition in the backyard of Kiyomizu Temple at all, sleeping soundly.

Unlocking the protective spell covering the young man, He Maoming moved his fingers and added another spell.

Let him think that he just slept in the yard... For this matter, enough people have been involved...

Just now, He Mooming and Abe Seimei were fighting, fearing that in order to disturb other irrelevant people, Abe Seimei personally set up an enchantment around them, isolating the young man who had been with Ta Yaliang and other tourists and monks outside.

It's just that as soon as Jin Tengguang arrived, He Maoming noticed that the magic power of the thing that sneaked up on him was not weak, so he thought he would have to fight again, so he cast a protective spell on Jin Tengguang.Unexpectedly, Abe Seimei came later and agreed to his competition.

At a glance, he knew that Hikari Shinto was put to sleep by Abe Seimei. In order to prevent more troubles, He Maoming used his little spiritual power to cast a spell on Hikari Shinto, making him think that he just fell asleep in Kiyomizu Temple. I felt like I didn't see anything.

"...I didn't expect that when he cast the spell to make you fall asleep, he had already tampered with it." He Maoming said quietly.

He was intelligent since he was a child, and when he heard the words of Jin Tengguang, he felt very strange, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood the joints.

"That's right!" Shinto Hikari clenched his fists tightly, his voice low with anger. "He told me in a dream, and unlocked your spell. So I remember everything at Kiyomizu Temple this afternoon!"

"so what?"

He Maoming looked at him, his dark green eyes blurred.

"What?" Shindo Hikaru didn't know what he meant, but he knew he couldn't be confident, so he said loudly, "Why?"

He Maoming smiled slightly, but there was no tenderness in his eyes.

"You remember what happened this afternoon, so what?"

Shinto Hikari choked, but when he saw Taya Ryo's face on the other side's face, he was furious.

"Give me back Taya!"

"Taya..." He Maoming slowly raised his hand, aiming at Shinto Hikari. "Is it bright?"

"That's right! Taya Ryo! Give him back to me!"

He Maoming smiled and shook his head.

"You—" The anger at being tricked and the anxiety towards Taya made Shin Fujimitsu furious, he wanted to greet the face of the person opposite him as soon as he moved his hand, but found that he couldn't move at all.

"How is this going?!"

Following his exclamation, a series of white lights came towards him.When the light dissipated, Shindo Hikaru found that he was trapped in a glowing pentagram, and he couldn't move his whole body.

"You! Let me go!"

"He Mao." The person on the opposite side looked at him condescendingly, "This is my last name. I'm sorry, your friend has to sleep for a while, so I can't return it to you."

"What crazy talk! Why do you want to sleep for a while?! Hey! Don't go! Where is Taya? Tell me where Taya is! Kamo!"

Jin Tengguang shouted hoarsely, but still couldn't stop He Maoming from leaving.

"He Mao—!"
