One Hundred Ways to Beat the Ghost King [Onmyoji]

Outside the palace, a banshee in a bright red kimono stood quietly in front of the window, looking worriedly at the gloomy Shuten in the palace with her beautiful eyes.

The banshee is naturally charming, her blue hair is like a waterfall, and her blood-red eyes are filled with countless charms.

"Liu Ji, what are you doing standing here?" A bright girl in light pink clothes and high clogs patted her on the shoulder.

Liu Ji was inadvertently startled by her, and almost exclaimed.

"It's peach blossoms..." Liu Ji patted her chest lightly with her slender hands, "My king is not in a good mood today."

Liu Ji's voice fell, and her expression also became disappointed.

"I seem to have heard that Lord Jiuten didn't order you to pour wine." Peach Blossom Demon nodded knowingly. Seeing Xuan Ji's downcast look, she spoke a few words of comfort to her before leaving.

Not only did he not order her to pour wine, but he simply drove her out roughly. This was the first time in such a long time.

She is a monster transformed from a glazed stone, but unfortunately she is useless except for her unparalleled beauty, and she has no talent in cultivation, so she doesn't even have the ability to protect herself.

Such beauty is also a sin.

Ten years ago, when he was being bullied by evil spirits near Mt. Dajiang, he was rescued by Shuten Doji passing by and thrown into the palace.

And her only task is to pour wine for the ghost king who is addicted to alcohol.

The monsters in Dajiang Mountain all said that because she was born beautiful but powerless, and did not pose any threat to other monsters, that's why the ghost king appointed her to pour wine for him.

Even though she was looked down upon by the monsters in the palace because of her low power, Liu Ji was very happy every day she spent in Dajiangshan.

Because she is the only banshee who can approach Shuten Doji when he is drunk.

However, under the company of these ten years, Liu Ji deeply realized that the ghost king had never been really drunk.

No matter in front of any monsters, Jiu Tun will never get drunk, even if the bottles of wine in his hand dry up, there will always be a trace of defense and sobriety in his heart.

And when she was pouring wine for him alone, the other party would just relax a little bit, because she was a banshee without threat.

Perhaps only in places where all the demons can't see, he would occasionally get drunk.

But Liu Ji never expected that the other party could completely let go of his defenses in front of her. Liu Ji understood that as the ghost king of the great rivers and mountains, the enemy was like a prince crossing the river, he must always stay awake.

So as long as she can get close to the supreme king in her heart, Liu Ji is already satisfied.

But... everything seems to have changed from the early morning of today's dim light.

He returned to the palace reeking of alcohol, Liu Ji served him a glass of her favorite demon wine as usual, but the other party pushed her away.

Liu Ji can still deeply remember his eyes at that time, alert, gloomy, and a trace of uneasiness hidden in the depths, which she has never seen since she was with the other party.

"My king... what on earth is it that will make you, the most powerful, show such eyes..." Liu Ji murmured absentmindedly.

It would be great if Lord Ibaraki was here, he would definitely be able to ask the reason.

But I don't know why, Lord Ibaraki suddenly left the palace and went to a far away place, and he hasn't returned until now.

On the high seat, Jiu Tun with his eyes closed was playing with the fragments of the wine bottle, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Is it an illusion?The other party's monster power is so much weaker than him, how could it be possible to use the charm technique to lure his trust?

Jiu Tun thought, probably during the period of Ibaraki's absence, there was one less person who followed him all day to persuade and advise, so he "degenerated and depressed".

He opened his eyes and returned to the free and easy ghost king he used to be, forgetting what happened that night like a dream.

However, those green eyes with watery eyes are always looming in his dreams.

Three days later, Jiu Tun, with a faint light blue color under his eyes, picked up the wine gourd and left the palace with a dark face.

He just left the palace with his front foot, and Ibaraki stepped in with his back foot.

"Master Ibaraki, you are finally back." Liu Ji smiled and brought a cup of tea for the other party.

But Ibaraki didn't look at her, his pale golden eyes had a rare tiredness that couldn't be erased, he said in a low voice, "Where is my king?"

"Master Jiuten left the palace this morning, Liu Ji doesn't know where he went, but maybe he went to Nara Heira Castle to drink again..." Liu Ji said uncertainly.

Hearing this, Ibaraki rubbed his forehead with some headache, and chased after him again without taking a break.

********

On the other side, Chi Qingqing stumbled and ran out of the izakaya, but the picture in front of her was shaken and blurred, and she hit the door frame with a "boom", causing all the guests in the izakaya to look at her sideways.

Ignoring the dull pain in his forehead, Chi Qingqing hurriedly ran to the woods outside the city with dizzy steps, stepping on the feet of many nocturnal monsters along the way.

"Oh! That half-demon over there doesn't have eyes!"

"Oh! It's too much, and you still don't pay for hitting a ghost!"

……

Chi Qingqing didn't feel a sense of security until she bypassed the sight of the city gate guards and hid in the dense and deep bushes.

She squatted in a deep half-human tall grass, hiding her figure in the night, and her rapid heartbeat slowly returned to normal.One fell down and sat down on the ground, Chi Qingqing lay down in a large font with a tired expression, and the weeds under him were also crookedly overwhelmed.

She let out a deep breath of depression, touched the cold sweat on her forehead, and her legs seemed to be trembling a little.

The stars in the night sky were twinkling, the little fireflies in the jungle were dancing beside her, the sound of gurgling water could be heard in the distance, and the cool night wind blew away the alcohol, making her gradually sober.

"Zhengong Temple Jiutian..."

This is the name that Shuten-douji used when he transformed into a human, right?

Chi Qingqing vaguely remembered that it was mentioned in the legend that Jiuten Doji was also often called Jiuten Doji, and before he became a monster, he was a handsome attendant in the temple.

Thinking of the absurdity just now, Chi Qingqing's face still turned pale.

When the system notification sounded, all three of her souls were frightened out of seven souls.

Alcohol is indeed something that cannot be easily touched. Once drunk, the perception and judgment of things will decline.

The inner wall of self-preservation will be removed unconsciously, thus lightly exposing the truest feelings deep inside.

Chi Qingqing has always thought that she is very optimistic, and rarely expresses her inner thoughts in front of others, including Yayoi Abe.

But when she heard the name "Shuten-douji", she clearly realized how scared she was.

The night of the Fireworks Festival was her nightmare. The pain of the waves hitting her chest and the fear of suffocation from being plundered by the air are still fresh in her memory. Chi Qingqing has never been so frightened and wronged in her more than 20 years of life.

She turned over and lay on the ground, her shoulders shook slightly, and she whimpered slightly.The fine grass itchyly swept across the face, smudged the teardrops drop by drop.

She is really afraid of death, every horrible monster.

Everything in this backward world is so strange and uncomfortable.

She wanted to wash off her exhaustion comfortably in the bathtub, to eat eggplant with minced meat cooked by her own mother, and to go to the movies with her old classmates whom she hadn't seen for a long time after graduation.

I want to touch the big orange cat that has been raised at home for six years, and sleep on the soft bed with the lazy one in my arms.

It's not fun at all to traverse any system.

She misses everything in that world deeply, even the serious and cold-faced Sixiu teacher who checks her attendance every time in class, she misses it very much now.

In the night when no one was around, she lay alone in the messy grass, weeping uncontrollably.

Sensing her sad mood, the surrounding Wooden Demons circled around her very actively, as if trying to get her attention.

Jiu Jin was completely awake, Chi Qingqing came back to his senses, and immediately keenly noticed the large area of ​​evil spirits quietly approaching all around.

She got up and wiped away the tears all over her face expressionlessly, and skillfully propped up a barrier to force back the malicious and greedy aura.

Any strong weakness and negative emotions will attract monsters, which will become the parasitic body and bait of the other party.

Just like Kikyo once warned her: Shimizu must have a calm, calm, strong and firm heart.Don't be easily shaken, otherwise you will be taken advantage of by other monsters.

This is the prosperous and cruel world of peace, where hundreds of ghosts go out at night and all living beings are in chaos.

If you want to live a good life, you don't even have the qualifications to be weak.

She will never touch wine like this again.

The sky was slightly white, and the sunlight shone into the forest faintly and hazily.Chi Qingqing took a deep breath, packed up all her emotions, turned around and walked towards Naraping Castle.

The negative energy exploded last night, and she vented her anger by getting drunk, and the pressure in her heart was greatly relieved.

In the future, she will still be that heartless Chi Qingqing.

After tidying up the leaves on her body, Chi Qingqing covered her green eyes with black, transforming into a handsome human boy.She must find Abe Yayoi and leave here as soon as possible.

I ran into Jiu Tun by accident last night, but the other party didn't attack her like Ibaraki did. Obviously he didn't recognize her, but Chi Qingqing was puzzled by the inexplicable affection.

She guessed that it was probably because she drank with the other party in the middle of the night that the increase occurred.It's just why it increased so much all of a sudden... Chi Qingqing didn't want to and didn't want to delve into it.

There seemed to be no sign of the cold-faced monk in the city, and Chi Qingqing walked swaggeringly on the street, but no one noticed her strangeness.

There were quite a few young girls on the street who saw her handsome appearance, blushed slightly and secretly looked at him.

After arriving at the dormitory yesterday, Chi Qingqing inquired a few times in the dark, and after confirming that the monk was not guarding there, he walked in with confidence.

"Uh... I'm sorry, my lord, our dormitory is full and there are no spare rooms." The shopkeeper who was frightened by her before said respectfully.

Chi Qingqing smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I don't live in the store, I'm here to find someone."

"There is a customer named Yayoi Abe in the store. He is my friend. May I ask which room is he in?"

The shopkeeper quickly informed her, and Chi Qingqing walked upstairs.

According to what the shopkeeper said, after Chi Qingqing walked to the innermost part of the corridor on the second floor, he knocked on the door on the left.

"...Yayoi?" she called quietly.

The paper door was pulled open at once, and an unexpected person appeared in front of Chi Qingqing.

Looking at this cold-faced and thin-lipped monk, Chi Qingqing's heart tightened, she turned her head and wanted to run away, but a familiar voice called her.

"Shimizu! I'm here!"

Hearing the call, Chi Qingqing turned her head and found that Yayoi Abe was also in the room, a trace of surprise flashed across her face.

The cold-faced monk didn't show any hostility towards her anymore, but moved away to let her into the house.

Seeing Chi Qingqing's suspicious expression, Abe Yayoi hurriedly pulled her to explain for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Qingshui, I have already told An Zhen about your matter, don't worry, he will not treat you now. How is it?"

Hearing this, the cold-faced monk nodded at her, and said slowly: "I will rest Anzhen next time, I offended you because of a misunderstanding yesterday, please don't take it to heart, Miko."

Yesterday evening, Yixiu Anzhen thought that Abe Yayoi was deceived by a malicious monster. After listening to the other party's detailed explanation, he learned the reason why Chi Qingqing appeared here.

Even though she was once a holy priestess, she unfortunately became a half-demon because she sacrificed her life to save her best friend. Yixiu Anzhen felt very sad.

Chi Qingqing was slightly startled by his title, and the original sting in his heart disappeared immediately. It was a rare monk who did not ignorantly discriminate against half-demons.

"Later, both of us wanted to stay in the hotel, but we didn't expect that there was only one room, so we just squeezed together."

After Yayoi Abe finished speaking, she noticed a piece of crimson skin on her forehead, which bulged slightly, and asked worriedly, "Shimizu, what's the matter with your forehead?"

Chi Qingqing touched the slightly painful forehead subconsciously, and said with some embarrassment: "No, it's nothing, I accidentally bumped into someone while walking."

Abe Yayoi's words reminded her, and Chi Qingqing said seriously: "Since there is nothing else, let's go to Kyoto as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Yayoi Abe had no objection either, she just turned around and asked Ikkyu An Zhen: "An Zhen, Shimizu and I are planning to go to Kyoto, what about you?"

Yixiu Anzhen frowned slightly: "If you want to go to Kyoto, you have to go through the mountains and rivers, right? Then I will go with you two. I came to Nara Heira City just to investigate the whereabouts of the evil monster."

"Evil demon?"

"In the past year, around Kyoto and Nara, people have often been seduced by monsters and sucked their blood. I suspect that Shuten-douji and his monsters did it."

This place is very close to Dajiang Mountain, and it is within the range of Shuten-douji's activities. In recent years, there have been endless incidents of monsters cannibalizing people, and it seems to be a good thing for the other party.

Chi Qingqing frowned, and instantly remembered the terrifying mummy outside the city.

Shuten-douji...is he really such a terrifying monster?

In a trance, she couldn't help but think of the look in her eyes last night.

But no matter what, the primary goal now is to rush to Kyoto.With her current strength, Chi Qingqing didn't dare to challenge the other party. When she arrived in Kyoto, she would find an opportunity to practice in the direction of Hokkaido, away from those monsters.

Along the way, Chi Qingqing was a little apprehensive. She pushed Jiu Tun that night, wondering if this rude behavior would be hated by the other party.

But it seemed that she was thinking too much. Three days passed, and everything was calm. Even when passing through Dajiang Mountain, nothing unusual happened.

Chi Qingqing, Abe Yayoi and Yixiu Anzhen walked for a day, and they were almost out of the scope of Dajiangshan.Seeing the capital getting closer and closer, Chi Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

There were many monsters who attacked them on the road, but none of them succeeded.

This monk named Yixiu Anzhen, with a white face, thin lips, and a straight nose, looks rather handsome.Although indifferent and desireless, his strength should not be underestimated, and should be a little higher than Yayoi Abe and her.

It's just that when he was resting, he would always sit under the tree alone, staying quietly and not knowing what he was thinking.

For the monsters who took the initiative to attack them, Chi Qingqing never showed mercy, let alone offered to help them.

"...It really is a shameless and lowly half-demon who is willing to mingle with humans." A black magpie lay dying on the ground, looking at Chi Qingqing with contempt and hatred.

Looking at the black magpie that was stealing chickens and eating rice, Chi Qingqing cut it off decisively without even moving his brows.

Killing is indeed the most direct and effective way. In just three days, she lit up many monsters' illustrated books.

"Hiss..." In the distant jungle, the snake letter hissed, and the grass trembled for a while, Yayoi Abe reacted very quickly and released a spiritual force to restrain the opponent in place.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a black snake.

Its demon power is low, and it seems that it has just turned into a demon not long ago. At this moment, it is looking at the three of Chi Qingqing in horror. The sweet and juicy snakeberry in its mouth also fell to the ground with a "pop", and it turned out to be looking for food.

Seeing Yayoi Abe frowning and trying to get rid of her, the little snake demon burst into tears and kept making "hissing" sounds.

Seeing this, Yayoi Abe paused and hesitated.

Chi Qingqing couldn't bear it and said: "It's just a little monster that has just transformed, or else..."

This little snake demon is pure and harmless in its eyes, and it eats snakeberries, so it should have never harmed humans.

"Since it hasn't harmed human beings yet, let it go." A deep voice answered.

Hearing this, both Chi Qingqing and Abe Yayoi looked at Ikkyu Anzhen in surprise, and couldn't believe that these words came from his mouth.

You must know that as a monk who subdues demons and exterminates demons, it is none other than Yixiu Anzhen who attacks monsters the most ruthlessly along the way.Seeing his ruthless indifference towards monsters, Chi Qingqing shuddered a little, and was glad that he was not a real monster.

But he didn't expect that he would have a soft heart when facing such a little snake demon.

Seeing the two of them frozen in place, Yixiu Anzhen turned her head uncomfortably and said, "Don't waste time, walk faster, or we will be able to enter the city."

Now that he said that, Chi Qingqing and Abe Yayoi naturally did not attack again, but withdrew their spiritual power and let the little snake go.

On the way, Yayoi Abe couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect that An Zhen would be soft-hearted towards monsters."

Hearing this, Yixiu Anzhen didn't answer, but lowered the brim of her hat to cover half of her face, so that people couldn't see his expression clearly.

In the forest, the little snake demon who survived by chance was "hissing" and desperately climbed to the top of the mountain.

******

On the top of the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, a gorgeous palace can be vaguely seen.

Looking at Jiu Tun, who looked gloomy and kept drinking, Ibaraki couldn't help asking: "My friend, I've only been away for half a month, what's wrong with you?"

This morning, after he retrieved Shuten from the izakaya in Naradaira Castle, the other party has been like this.

Ibaraki has been with him for hundreds of years, and has never seen him in such a distraught state. This is not Shuten-douji in his impression at all.

"Huh..." Jiu Tun let out a deep breath, leaned on the tatami mat half-drunk, and threw the wine bottle away.

The wine bottle hit the wall with a crisp sound and shattered into powder all over the floor.

He didn't reply, just kept beating his left hand on his leg with a thoughtful expression.

Three days, three whole days.

He searched all over Nara and Pingcheng but couldn't find the half-demon. If it wasn't for the dull pain in the back of his head, he couldn't help but think that night was just a dream.

The half-demon that I have never seen before... Did it come from another territory?

Hearing the sound, Liu Ji walked in from outside the hall and gently cleaned up the residue from the wine bottle.

Shuten, who was wandering in the sky, came back to his senses, looked at Ibaraki who had been away for a while, raised his eyebrows and greeted casually.

"Yo, are you back?"

"..."

He has been back for most of the day, has the other party not noticed?Ibaraki couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

Seeing Liu Ji walked out of the hall, Jiu Tun just straightened up, returned to his usual expression and said with a smile: "Looking at you, it seems that things are not going well?"

"I am the strongest monster Shuten Doji, who else in the world would dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with me?"

He lifted his chin and laughed, his flame-red hair swayed, and his slightly narrowed eyes were full of indifference.

"My uncle just said that you can't believe the words of that magic stick. You have to go for a trip even though you have been persuaded."

Hearing this, Ibaraki said seriously: "But, as Ara said, I found a human being beside Abe Seimei's grandson. It is a witch, although it is weak, but its potential is very deep."

"I was confident that I could kill her with one blow, but unexpectedly I was disturbed by Yimulian and let her run away."

Jiu Tun pursed his thin lips, and said nonchalantly: "Since you have the confidence to kill her, then you seem to be a very weak human being. You survived only because of Yimulian's interference, not because of her strong spiritual power. What's the matter?" Something to worry about?"

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and lowered his eyes to greet Ibaraki, "Or do you have doubts about my strength? Don't worry about that, come drink with me! Since you left Dajiangshan, I have been bored to death every day."

Ibaraki raised his hand to catch the wine bottle thrown by the opponent, a trace of helplessness flashed in his golden eyes.He glanced at his healed palm, still reeling from the retaliation that night.

He obviously looked extremely weak, but he was able to bounce back all his attacks, which made him deflated once in a while, who rarely loses.

"Of course I believe in your strength, I just don't want anyone who can threaten you. After all, that fellow Huang's predictions have always been accurate..."

"...Always accurate? Haven't you forgotten what caused that guy's poor past?"

Thinking of Huang's past, Ibaraki choked, suddenly speechless and could only sigh.

"Even if the future is as he predicted, I really want to see which human being can defeat me and take my life!" Jiu Tun raised his eyebrows, and took a sip of the wine in his hand with a low laugh And do.

The strongest human being in the world is the onmyoji Abe Seimei.

More than 40 years ago, he was defeated by the opponent when he competed with it.But in this world, only Seimei Abe can defeat him.

Decades of time have passed, Abe Seimei is getting old, but his demon power is growing day by day.Shuten-douji is confident that unless Amaterasu reappears in the world, no one can match him.

How could he care about such inexplicable prophecy when he was so powerful that he looked down on the world?

On the contrary, he had some expectations that it would be true. Standing at the top of his strength for too long has almost made him lose any pursuit.

In the drinking room, a blond boy wearing a ghost mask stepped into the hall to report the news.

"My king, during the few days you were away, many monsters died in Dajiangshan." Prajna said in a low voice.

"According to the news reported by a black snake that just turned into a demon, it witnessed the tragic death of Wu Que at the hands of the other party. It was a monk with extremely powerful mana, and it was a bit tricky to deal with."

Hearing Hannya's report, before Jiu Tun could leave, Ibaraki raised his hand to stop him and said, "Just let me solve it, why should my king take action with mere ants?"

"Is there only one monk?" He could crush the opponent with one punch.

Banruo thought for a while, bowed his head and replied carefully: "It is said that there are three people on the other side, the strongest is the monk, followed by an onmyoji, and a half-demon woman with green eyes."

When the word "half demon" was mentioned, Banruo's expression turned cold.

Although most real monsters look down on half-monsters, they still treat each other more or less as the same kind.

It's fine for the other party to be friendly with humans, but to mix with people like Onmyoji to eliminate demons, for monsters, that is an unforgivable traitor.

green eyes?Half demon?

Jiu Tun squeezed the porcelain bottle tightly, his eyes froze, he suddenly raised his head and asked loudly, "Which direction are they in?"

"Going towards the capital." After Hannya finished speaking, she felt a gust of wind blowing beside her, and when she looked up again, Jiu Tun had disappeared.

Ibaraki didn't expect him to react like this, he was startled for a moment, and then hurriedly dodged to catch up.

On the evening road at dusk, Chi Qingqing raised her hand to wipe off her sweat, and squinted at the city gate that was already close at hand.

The trail that was still illuminated by sunlight suddenly became cloudy. Chi Qingqing looked up at the sky and subconsciously said, "Is it going to rain?"

"It's monster aura!" Yixiu Anzhen, who was calm on the face, suddenly showed an expression as if he was facing a big enemy, "Strong monster aura, if there are powerful monsters, come closer to the city!"

As the dark clouds completely covered the sunlight, Chi Qingqing also felt a little pressure on her body. She is now a half-demon, and when faced with powerful demon power, she will instinctively feel oppressed.

After careful perception, she found that there were two frightening evil spirits approaching them like the wind, and she was very familiar with the faint one!

Chi Qingqing was startled, and blurted out: "Ibaraki Doji!"

She is so familiar with this demon power, it left her an indelible memory on the night of the firework festival.

Hearing this, Abe Yayoi's heart tightened, and she pulled up Chi Qingqing's sleeve and said, "Quick! Enter the city!" At this moment, his first reaction was that Ibaraki Doji had already caught up with them.

A group of people walked quickly, and Chi Qingqing's heart beat a little. Ibaraki Doji's demon power was already very strong. Near Dajiang Mountain, there was only one person whose demon power was higher than him.

Then another stronger evil spirit... is Shuten-douji?

The familiar back figure had already been reflected in the eyes of the two monsters. Looking at that slender figure, Ibaraki's golden pupils couldn't hide the horror.

"That witch, why did she suddenly become a half-demon!?"

Hearing this, Jiu Tun's figure froze, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said slowly, "Ibaraki, you mean, that half-demon is the witch who escaped from your hands in Naian City before?"

That half-demon is... the person in the wild prophecy?

"It's her!" Ibaraki had already regained his senses, he dodged forward to bully him, and swung a black flame, destroying the road in front of the pedestrian into a huge hole.

Chi Qingqing had already felt the approach of Hei Yan, she retreated quickly for a distance, and two green vines appeared in her hands, wrapping Abe Yayoi and Yixiu Anzhen back.

Yixiu Anzhen looked at the ruined road with a pale complexion, and said quickly in a low voice, "Thank you."

One breath later, he might be smashed to pieces by this attack.

Chi Qingqing's expression froze, and he turned his head to look at the familiar white-haired monster with cold eyes, gnashing his teeth with hatred.

"Hey...why is my lord in such danger every time I wake up?" The dragon head jade on her chest shimmered, and Xuanji spoke with a voice that only the two of them could hear. Said helplessly.

Chi Qingqing was overjoyed, "Are you awake?" Since the last time I blocked Ibaraki's blow, Xuan Ji had been in a deep sleep.

"What entanglement does your lord have with them? Why do you want to chase you so hard?" Xuan Ji asked softly, but she didn't have any doubts about Chi Qingqing who had become a half-demon.

When she was sleeping in the jade, she also had a sense of everything that happened outside. After smelling the extremely dangerous breath, Xuan Ji subconsciously woke up again.

"How do I know..." Chi Qingqing glared angrily at Ibaraki Doji who was blocking the way, "But you should take a good rest, I can resist it without your help."

Xuan Ji chuckled, "Your Excellency, you don't need to worry about Xuan Ji, the stronger you are, the stronger Xuan Ji will be."

"This time, the Dragon Head Jade can easily block the opponent's attack."

Hearing this, Chi Qingqing's heart moved, and she communicated with her: "Then... where is the red-haired monster in the distance?"

Xuan Ji was silent for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "It should be able to roughly block a blow."

It's just one hit...

Chi Qingqing was still thinking quickly, but Ibaraki looked at her coldly in the distance, "Sure enough, I can't stay."

After speaking, he raised his hand again.

However, in just half a month, the opponent's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes from when they first met.

Yixiu An Zhen's face darkened, and she snarled, and the Zen stick was stuck straight on the ground, forming a golden barrier.

"If you don't move your mind, there will be no suffering or pain." He murmured a mantra, and all the black flames were purified by the Buddha's light.

Seeing this, Ibaraki's eyes moved, and he began to examine the other party seriously.

"Ha! Interesting, I haven't met such a strong human being for a long time." From a distance, a domineering voice came, with a bit of interest in the words.

The red-haired and sharp-eared handsome monster stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ibaraki, scanning the crowd with imposing eyebrows, making Ikkyu Anzhen feel a little out of breath deep in her heart.

He picked up the ghost gourd on his back and took a sip, wiped his mouth and said, "Let me see how many catties and taels you have!"

As soon as the words fell, the hideous cracks at the bottom of the ghost gourd opened, and ghostly auras with flames came in one after another. With just three strokes, the Buddha light barrier was shattered without a trace.

"Sure enough, it's as boring as I imagined." Jiu Tun said in a flat tone, seeming rather disappointed.

"Is it the legendary Shuten-douji...?" Ikkyu Anzhen's face turned pale, and she clenched the Zen stick in her hand.

"Don't be afraid!" Abe Yayoi's expression tightened, and she immediately reached out to protect Chi Qingqing behind her back.

Seeing this scene, Jiu Tun narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that it was really an eyesore.He looked up and down Abe Yayoi, looking at the eyebrows similar to Abe Seimei, he guessed the other party's identity at once.

"Qingming's grandson...why does he look so weak? It's so far away!" There was an unconcealable disdain in the words.

"Ding", Shuten-doji's favorability towards you has decreased by 5 points, and the current favorability is 45.

Hearing this, Yayoi Abe's face darkened suddenly, and Ibaraki couldn't help but glance at Shuten beside him.

Chi Qingqing's heart was pounding, and she looked at the system panel in a daze.

Ibaraki at level 39, Shuten at level 45...

Level 45... If I remember correctly, the highest level cap of Yokai Shikigami in the game is only [-]...?

Chi Qingqing couldn't help but glanced at himself who was only level 37. He could barely compete with Ibaraki, at least he wouldn't end up being beaten.

Both Abe Yayoi and Ikkyu Anzhen were stronger than her, and the strongest of the three was Ikkyu Anzhen, but even he couldn't resist Shuten's casual blow.

Chi Qingqing gave a wry smile, reached out and took out the enchantment card from the system package, and held it tightly in his hand.

"Don't worry, this place is so close to the city, the samurai will definitely come here soon." Yayoi Abe turned her head and whispered to the two of them, "I have already asked my grandfather for help with a talisman."

Looking at the two whispering, the air in Jiu Tun's body sank, that half-demon, since he appeared, hasn't looked at him yet.

Feeling his displeasure, Ibaraki waved his hand again and attacked the three of them, "A mere ant dares to be disrespectful in front of my king."

Before he could stop it, Jiu Tun's heart tightened for no reason, and he watched Hei Yan fly past with burning ghost energy.

Seeing this, the three people who had been vigilant immediately dodged away respectively, while Chi Qingqing reached out and manipulated the vines of demon power to wrap the black flame tightly. After a while, the black flame and the vines dispersed into light smoke.

After crushing the black flame, Chi Qingqing's face turned slightly pale.But through this counterattack, she also roughly figured out the strength gap between herself and Ibaraki.

However, in Ibaraki's eyes, her actions were provocative in another sense. He snorted coldly and tried to close up and crush the opponent's neck, but before he could go out, he was grabbed by Shuten.

"Ibaraki, don't do it." Jiu Tun slowly stroked the wine gourd on his upper back, staring at Chi Qingqing, "Let me do it myself."

Ibaraki was slightly happy in his heart, and glanced at the three of them with contempt.

Shuten took a few steps forward, staring closely at Chi Qingqing standing behind Yayoi Abe.Perhaps after hearing what he said just now, the other party finally raised his eyes to meet him.

Looking at those familiar and sinking green eyes, Jiu Tun slightly tightened his hand on the ghost gourd.

Chi Qingqing held the Dragon Head Jade in his left hand and the enchantment card in his right, staring at Jiu Tun calmly and warily.

His face was no different from that of the drunk man that night, and his beautiful eyebrows still slanted into his temples.It's just that the ink-black hair that was originally loose was tied up high at the moment, red as flames, which perfectly complemented the extremely arrogant aura around him.

And the eyes and demeanor are completely different, the Jiu Tun in front of him only has the arrogance and detachment in his eyes, he is not the decadent and lonely man that night.

Seeing him approaching Chi Qingqing, Abe Yayoi asked coldly: "Before this, Shimizu had never had any interaction with you, why did you chase after her?"

"There is no intersection...?" Jiu Tun murmured, and glanced at Chi Qingqing with a darkened face. He remembered the slap that night clearly.

He raised his head, looked at Chi Qingqing from above, picked up the ghost gourd and took a sip of the demon wine, his eyes instantly became enthusiastic and intoxicated.

Is the person who can let him get drunk with peace of mind turn out to be the person in the mouth?

It seems that I really can't stay...

Jiu Tun thought in a daze, raised the wine gourd high and pointed it at the green-eyed girl behind him.

Seeing this, Abe Yayoi used all her strength to support the spiritual barrier, and dodged in front of Chi Qingqing.Just hold on a little longer, and reinforcements will arrive!
