Chapter Twenty-Four: Into the Devil
The girl holding the longbow was wearing a very common witch costume in this era, a white blouse with a red kimono hakama, looking at the pure eyes, the ethereal temperament made Cang Zhen subconsciously stop.
A girl with this rare temperament, there will be no one else in the world except that person.
"Shrine maiden Kikyo?"
Cang Zhen asked in an affirmative tone.
"Demons, get out of here!"
Kikyo let go of his fingers, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow in his hand left the string.
The sharp arrow that bloomed with the power of breaking demons was like a meteor, and Cang Zhen saw a bright light flash in the corner of his eye, and the long arrow grazed his cheek and nailed it not far behind his back.
This is a demonstration, but also a warning.
Cang Zhen touched his cheek, although he was not directly hit, the demon-breaking power carried by the long arrow still made him feel a slight tingling in his cheek.
"Miko Maiden, you're so daring."
The arrow just now was replaced by an ordinary monster, and it was probably directly shattered by the demon-breaking power carried on the arrow.
In the face of Cangzhen's reprimand, Kikyo was silent and drew an arrow again, silently resting on the bow.
Her attitude says what she means very well.
Kikyo has no intention of communicating with the demons at all, either leaving or fighting.
In this regard, Cang Zhen looked at her contemptuously and took a step forward without hesitation.
In the next second, Cang Zhen seemed to hear a sigh, very lightly as if it was an illusion.
Kikyo slowly pulled the bowstring, knowing that this time she wouldn't miss again. There was a phantom pain that seemed to be pierced from the point where the tip of the arrow was aimed, and that was where Cangzhen's heart was not beating.
Draw the bow like a full moon, and shoot the wolf with a long arrow.
It can be said that most of the combat power of the bellflower is reflected in archery. Although I am more or less good at spells, the best way to use the power of the bellflower is still arrows.
Being locked by Kikyo's arrow is like having a dagger against his body, and the cold and sharp piercing makes people's hairs stand on end.
Kikyo is also not a person who drags mud and water, Cangzhen just stepped out, and the second arrow suddenly shot straight over.
This time it's no longer a warning.
An aurora shot out from in front of Kikyo, as if she were shooting not an arrow, but a torrent of light.
She is worthy of being one of the best witches in the Warring States Period, and Cang Zhen sensed the spiritual power condensed on the arrow, and he even thought that the slippery ghost, who was the lord of the ghost, could hardly withstand the edge of this arrow.
Although the slippery head ghost is a fantasy monster, in the face of this arrow, any illusion will be destroyed by the demon-breaking power carried by the long arrow.
The pale eyes stared at the rapidly approaching light arrow, a halo of light wrapped around the arrow body, and the light of the light arrow was extremely dazzling even in the daytime. Just when the tip of the arrow was less than ten centimeters away from him, Cangzhen grabbed it like lightning. His reflexes are top-notch, and no matter how fast an arrow is, he can't escape his eyes. The arrows of light that burst out were as if the freeze button had been pressed, and they were instantly imprisoned by five fingers from extreme speed.
Wisps of green smoke rose from between the five fingers of Cang Zhen's grasp of the light arrow, and at the same time, the sound of "sizzling" continued to sound.
The burning sensation came from the palm of the hand holding the arrow, and the magic power in his body was stirred up, and a faint glimmer of light emanated from his body. The strong magic power washed away the long arrow, and the long arrow that was still vibrating immediately quieted down, and the additional spiritual power on the arrow was instantly shattered by Cangzhen.
"The power to break demons is worthy of being like our natural enemies, but it's not enough ......"
Cang Zhen silently calculated the consumption of mana, which was almost three times the spiritual power on the arrow's body, and couldn't help but admire.
The Demon Breaker Arrow is Kikyo's best special move, and with the help of ordinary arrows, it shoots a holy attribute attack, which can powerfully break through the barrier and purify the miasma. Not to mention that the monster was killed to death, Cang Zhen felt that the demon could not withstand the attack of the other party either.
It's a pity that no matter how powerful the purification power is, it can't purify the Demon King, especially Cang Zhen, the Great Demon King who is connected to Chaos.
Even if something bright falls into chaos, it will also be dyed in pitch black.
There was a hint of cruelty in Pale Inn's eyes, and with a flick of his arm, a thick dark cloud flew out from behind him.
It was a dark cloud of countless bloodthirsty bats, which let out a shrill cry and fluttered their wings to pounce on the bellflower.
Back then, the feathered fox plundered girls with special talents all over the city, and he wanted to use the livers of those girls who were born with spiritual power to nourish themselves.
It is not necessarily a good thing to be born with spiritual power, in fact, most of the humans who are born with spiritual power in Sengoku have been reduced to the rations of youkai. Eating a human with strong spiritual power is tantamount to making up for the monster.
In the same way, the blood of a person with strong spiritual power has a great attraction to Cangzhen, and the stronger the spiritual power, the more delicious the blood of a person.
Undoubtedly, for Cangzhen, the blood of the bellflower is comparable to the attraction of peerless wine to alcoholics.
Those bats are the embodiment of the pale truth, and they store the blood they suck for future tasting.
These bloodthirsty bats are not mortal, they fly like streamers, and the human eye alone locks on to their figures, and they may not even be able to see their movements.
Kikyo is strong, but her strength is reflected in spiritual power, not physical.
Seeing that his eyes could not catch the trajectory of the bat, Kikyo simply closed his eyes, and at the same time spread the spiritual power of demon slaying all over his body.
A translucent barrier appeared in the void, and the bat let out a piercing scream, crashed into it, and then fell like a dumpling.
The bat that fell to the ground fluttered twice with no energy, and soon disappeared into particles of magical power.
However, as a vampire's signature skill, the naïve Bat Legion would not be vegetarian.
Seeing the delicious blood close in front of them, but unable to feast on them, the bloodthirsty bats became more and more irritable, and they were like death squads that looked at death and sent a desperate impact on the bellflower from the sky.
Crackle, crackle, crackle......
A steady stream of bats crashed into the bellflower from the sky, sliding down from the periphery like a pitch-black waterfall crashing on a boulder. Every second, thousands of bats crash into Kikyo's spiritual barrier.
The bat army has more and more casualties, but they are originally made of the magic of the cang, and the cangzhen has almost endless magical power, but it is not declining at all.
However, the spiritual power of the bellflower is not unlimited, and the human body has its limits.
Under the constant onslaught of the bat army, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Kikyo's forehead, and as the sweat grew, her face became more and more pale.
It has only been a few seconds since the Bat Legion sent out the impact, but Kikyo has consumed a lot of spiritual power as if he had experienced a big battle.
It can be seen that if this continues, it must be the bellflower that will fall in the end.
Moreover, this time does not take long.
Experienced in battle, Kikyo can calmly analyze the opponent's position or the situation on the scene during the battle, can easily see through the enemy's purpose and conspiracy, and reacts quickly at critical moments.
Under the impact of bats, Kikyo found that the other party didn't seem to be serious, and didn't continue to act after randomly attracting a large group of bats.
I have to say that if the other party continues to act and cooperate with the attack, Kikyo believes that he may have fallen by now.
However, for Kikyo, the innocent gist is her chance.
Kikyo wields his longbow upside down and swings it at the bats outside the barrier. The spiritual power condensed on the longbow exploded violently, and the violent impact caused the bat army to scatter in all directions, and it was defeated for a while.
The blow worked, and the bellflower did not hesitate to spend a lot of spiritual power to open the bow without an arrow, condensed the spiritual power as an arrow, and shot a third arrow at Cangzhen while the bats were scattered.
This arrow is not restrained by the body of the arrow, and uses pure spiritual power as an arrow, and the condensed spiritual power is incredibly powerful. Even the top big monster has to temporarily avoid the edge in the face of this arrow, and this arrow is already the pinnacle of Kikyo's blow.
An arrow is fired, and the light arrow is halfway through, but before the result appears, Kikyo knows that this arrow cannot cause a lot of damage to the opponent. She carved a pentagram on the ground with a longbow, inserted a small piece of spirit branch that she carried with her, and then injected all the little spiritual power left in her body into it. Absorbing the spiritual power of the bellflower, the pentagram emitted light, and a small piece of the spirit branch instantly grew into a towering spirit tree.
After doing all this, the bellflower who had exhausted his spiritual power leaned on the spirit tree to do it, and his hands were sealed to absorb the spiritual energy wandering between heaven and earth, trying to recover the consumed spiritual power.
Of course, Cangzhen doesn't just sit on the sidelines.
Cang Zhen raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the chaotic bat army immediately calmed down. The reunited Bat Legion then launched a new round of onslaught, with a tenacity of "not giving up until the goal is achieved".
Kikyo was already powerless, and before her spiritual power recovered, all she could rely on was the spirit tree that had just been arranged in a hurry.
The Spirit Tree is a special kind of existence. Specializes in dealing with monsters that are difficult to destroy, large in number, and have low IQ.
The bats were pleasantly surprised to find that the barrier in front of them had disappeared, and they were so excited that they pounced on the delicacy under the tree.
"Kikyo, what's the other trick?"
Looking at Kikyo's powerless appearance, Cang Zhen coldly waved his hand and ordered the Bat Legion to suppress it.
Despite the hasty arrangement, the Spirit Tree still did not disappoint the Kikyo, and the bats that flew towards the Kikyo pounced on her as if they were attracted by a magnet, and they were absorbed in less than two moments.
After absorbing a lot of bats, the body of the Spirit Tree emitted a strange purple light, and then the purple light was fed back to the body of the bellflower.
In the true perception, the weakened aura of the bellflower began to rise rapidly, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it recovered to the small half.
Is that how the tree is used?
Cang Zhen rushed forward with doubts, and slashed at the spirit tree with his hand as a knife.
This knife was crisp and neat, and the spirit tree was directly cut off, and the rising breath of the bellflower suddenly fell back to its original level, and even because of the backlash, it was still worse than before.
Holding the neck of the bellflower with one hand, Cangzhen lifted the bellflower up.
After a hard battle, Kikyo's long hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to his face, and her pretty face, which was red from panting, was showing a little pain because it was difficult to breathe.
Anyone who is choked by the neck will not feel good, and the last remaining spiritual power in the bellflower condensed body is pushed hard in the palm of the cangzhen chest in his hand.
If the spiritual power is enough, this push should directly hit the monster to ashes, but unfortunately the spiritual power of the bellflower is almost exhausted at present, so naturally there will not be much power.
"Kikyo, you've been slaying demons all your life, which is really admirable. I'm curious about what kind of funny expression you have when you become a demon that you hate. ”
After speaking, Cang Zhen ripped open the neckline of the bellflower, revealing two sharp fangs, and bit her neck.
What will become of a human who is bitten by the other party, you don't need to say much to guess the bellflower.
That's not a good end!
As soon as he thought of this, Kikyo struggled despite his weakness.
Unfortunately, her strength was too weak compared to the other party, and her all-out struggle couldn't even affect Cang Zhen to absorb her blood.
"Thank you for your hospitality, your blood is so delicious that it is more delicious than Saya Hua. If you can't stay any longer in the human world, welcome to my castle. Ha ha! ”
After Meimei drank hard, Cangzhen left the almost dizzy bellflower in her hand and left laughing.
