Mori was silent, he looked at the sharp-edged Yakumo Murasaki, and pulled the Kusanagi sword out of its sheath little by little.

Wisps of mist escaped from the unsheathed Excalibur.

Yakumo frowned in disgust.

"I hate clouds. ”

She opened her folding fan, trying to blow away the mist. But they are born with the Excalibur, and as soon as they dissipate, they regenerate, and they are resilient and never give in.

Mori Rinnosuke's movements were slow and serious, the half-demon swordsman didn't think about slashing out a sword first for a surprise attack, and with his eyes, he could naturally see that the current Yakumo Purple had weakened to the extreme, which was why she tore off her mask so quickly this time. Bluffing may not be counted, but there is a lot of inwardness.

Even youkai sages occasionally let their emotions flow.

But there is still a shallow friendship between him and Yakumo Murasaki, and Mori Kinrinnosuke is also one of Yakumo Murasaki's friends, they used to be very familiar, but after the monster sage made a betrayal of his relatives, Mori Kinrinsuke also stayed away from her. It wasn't until the two intersected again through the dream of Bo Li Ling that they eased up a little, and Mori Jinrinnosuke didn't want to draw a knife against his friend, his knife was drawn for protection, not to cut his robe and break his righteousness.

The snow-white blade of the Kusanagi sword had a spine-like bulge every few centimeters, and when Mori Kinrinosuke revealed the third bulge of the sword body, his whole body was already wrapped in a thick white mist, and he could only vaguely see his figure.

"Sage-sage, no, Ah Zi. Of course, I have been reduced to a mere half-demon, but are you really much better than me now? The battle between you and Wang Yu cannot be seen by others, but I can still see it, who makes me have more eyes. ”

"I don't bother you yet, old and crippled. You can try to see if I can kill you now, although Ling Meng is a little reluctant to be widowed, but I will take good care of her. ”

Yakumo closed the folding fan, and the amethyst-like eyes shone with sharp light.

"Ha, that's not necessary, I'm not old enough to die. Don't talk harshly here, Ah Zi. You and I both know that you can defeat me, but you will never be able to kill me, let alone you who have fallen to the bottom and lost an arm now? I am still a moderate, if the wind sees the fragrance and the black ghost smell the blood on you, you may die right here. Get out of the way, I won't disrupt your plan, because I know that it can't succeed at all, you can't restrain Wang Yu, not in the past, not now. The Monster Sage is no longer your glory, but your shackles, and you have gone mad. ”

Yakumo Zi retracted her gaze and was silent for a moment.

“…… Perhaps, but there's no turning back. ”

"No, you have, you always have, it's just that you don't want to go back. It's useless to say more, I'm just here to make his life safer, and you don't want him to die so simply, do you? You need him for a plan. There is no conflict between our short-term goals, the interests are the same, let me go. ”

The monster sage was silent for a long time and sighed helplessly.

She seemed to suddenly become very tired, exhausted and old. It's not about her looks, it's about her temperament. Yakumo sat under a big tree like a desolate old woman who was drooping, her back was stiff and her eyes were gloomy. She curled up in a ball and waved her hand to tear a gap in front of Mori Rinnosuke, but she didn't even want to speak.

"Thank you, Ah Zi. You won't regret your decision today. ”

Mori nodded to her in the mist and strode into the gap.

The gap closes.

[Lord Purple, do you still need me to besiege and kill Mori Jinlin's help?]

The gentle voice of his own god sounded in his mind, and Yakumo Purple remembered that Yakumo Lan, who would always support him unconditionally and be loyal, finally regained some strength.

[No, remove the enchantment distortion and come back.] 】

The moment her words fell, the nine-tailed demon fox appeared beside her. She has grown up with Yakumo Purple from beginning to end, and she knows the secrets of the past. To kill Mori Rinnosuke, who was also a friend to her, Yakumo Lan was not very comfortable in her heart, but fortunately her master did not act in the end. Yakumo Lan hugged Yakumo Purple with concern, lowered her head and smiled at her and said:

"That's good, Lord Mori went to take care of Wang Hao, and he would definitely not have a problem. After all, the Earth Spirit Hall is still too small in scale and too weak in strength, if that group of rough ghost clans wants to eat human flesh and open meat, they may be able to grab it, Lord Zi is happier. ”

“…… Well. ”

Yakumo Murasaki, who was hugged by the princess, responded quite perfunctorily.

"Don't talk about that, let's go back. ”

"Okay, let's go home. Orange may have been worried. ”

Since the cat demon orange was originally just a Shikigami raised by Yakumo Blue on a whim, her strength was far from enough to participate in a battle at this level, so Yakumo's master and servant did not call her to die. And this cat demon is also a very well-behaved and sensible child, and he feels that he will only drag his feet, so he can do logistics at home with peace of mind.

Yakumo Purple has become very tired now, and she didn't think about simply leaving Mori Jinrinnosuke here at first, but after confronting him for a while, she found that even with Yakumo Blue, she might be defeated. It must be known that as long as you make a move with Mori Kinrin's help, it is equivalent to becoming an enemy with Mori Kinhakurei, Marisa Kiriyu, and even Hakurei Reimu, with Yakumo Purple's thoughts, it is best not to start a war in vain.

It's not yet time for the Hakurei shrine maiden to lose its value.

Yakumo Blue turned into a phantom and disappeared.

Surrounded by mist, Mori Konnosuke walked through the gap and stood in front of the door of the Earth Spirit Temple.

Only then did he dare to push the Tiancong Cloud Sword back into its sheath, put down the hand that pressed the hilt, and took out the bundle of books.

"Hoo ————"

Mori Jinlinzhi let out a sigh of relief, he was a little risky this time, the hard-hit Yakumo Murasaki's control over himself has decreased significantly, and his emotions are several times richer than before and quite unreasonable. The little girl may have thought that she had covered it up well, but her killing intent could be clearly reflected in Mori Kinrinnosuke's eight pupils, and the last youkai sage was now getting more and more crazy.

It's not a good thing, it's definitely not a good thing.

"Eh, Mr. Mori, are you here to deliver books?"

Pushing a cart and preparing to go outside to sweep up the corpses, Flame Cat Rin and Mori Rinnosuke took a look. The half-demon store manager nodded, although he was indifferent to outsiders, he was not unruly.

"Oh, thank you very much. But why are you sweating profusely?"

Flame Cat Rin smiled and walked up to Rinnosuke Mori, but found the half-demon store manager approaching the soaked clothes, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

"The old hell is too hot, after all, I'm just a scholar, and I'm weak and weak, so I sweat so much. ”

Mori Jinlinzhi pushed his glasses and said without changing his face.
