Chapter 32: The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox

The so-called Nine-Tails refers to a monster that is very famous everywhere, and it is the top monster in any myth, legend and history.

Tamamo Mae [たまものまえ], a yokai of Japanese legend, whose authenticity is unreliable.

Legend has it that its demon body is a nine-tailed fox, and it is a monster that specializes in transforming into a peerless beauty to confuse the king.

Born in India, it traveled to China as Yuxi during the Xia Dynasty and Daji as the Shang King. When the Shang Dynasty fell, she was hunted down by Jiang Ziya and forced to cross the ocean to Japan, calling herself "Tamamomae", and won the favor and trust of Emperor Toba.

At that time, Tamamae was favored by Emperor Toba, and the name Tamamo was given by the Emperor; Like the legend of the Emperor, Tamamo seduced the emperor to ignore the government, and fell into bed with a strange illness, and the ministers began to suspect her, and asked Abe Yasunari to secretly investigate her, and confirmed that the thousand-year-old nine-tailed demon fox was transformed, and the emperor who had recovered from the imperial body was angry and ordered to hunt down Tamamo Mae.

In the end, she was captured and killed by Harumi, but her ambition and obsession remained in Nasuno in the form of a "killing stone" (a stone that spews venom to attack birds and insects, making it impossible for animals to get close), and waits for revenge.

Legend has it that this Tamamo has a golden body and nine tails, which is resplendent in gold. And the ancestor of this Tamamo, who is said to have come from China and India, came to Japan at some point, and combined with Inari Shrine through the Shingon sect's belief in the Tsugi Ni Ten, he increased his demonic power and formed the current demon fox.

This comes from a Japanese myth and legend.

The demon beast of the Three Kingdoms of Vietnam, which is also known as the Nine-Tails.

But then again, these are myths after all, and up to now, they can only be used as a joke, but as a demon beast, Yakumo Blue is indeed genuine, no one knows where Purple caught this fox from, but as a thousand-year-old "young" monster, Yakumo Blue's talent may still be very good.

A fox that can cultivate nine tails in a thousand years is not something that anyone can do.

Generally speaking, it always takes three to five thousand years to be able to do it, and I'm afraid it has something to do with his abnormal master.

Of course, Reimu and this fox are also old rivals, and they have fought no less than ten times, and Reimu has never lost.

Of course, with the help of the Hakurei Great Enchantment, it would be difficult for Reimu to lose even if he wanted to, but after leaving that, Reimu was only the most powerful Hakurei shrine maiden...... In other words, an ordinary person with super spiritual power, her intuition is still sharp, but she doesn't have the strength to win before.

That is, the absolute crushing under the protection of the Great Enchantment of Boli.

Moreover, the endurance of youkai is generally better than that of humans, except for Patchouli who has a strong asthma, in fact, as a witch, Patchouli should not have that kind of disease herself, so she thinks it's strange no matter how she looks at it, of course, it can only be regarded as a special case.

Alice and Holy White Lotus, who are also magicians, are not much different.

Enchantment ......

Blue followed Purple to learn, not only to improve his computing skills, but also in many other aspects.

For example, the enchantment, unlike Reimu, the blue and purple enchantments can only be made little by little after careful calculation, and Reimu just relies on his own feelings, and thinks that this is almost enough...... That's probably what it means.

She can complete an enchantment in no time, which sounds great, but her enchantment may have a slight deviation, but this deviation will not appear in the blue and purple enchantments......

When fighting with Zi, Reimu always has an inexplicable embarrassment, which is probably the reason.

Of course, Lan is still far from reaching the Cheng dù of Purple's time, but it is enough to pose a threat to Reimu.

A huge swascast was displayed in the palm of his hand, and at the same time, several spirit runes floated in the air, and Lan was ready to defend himself while attacking.

As for Reimu, of course, she was not idle.

It's not just purple and blue that can change the realm of a certain degree.

As the guardian of the Great Barrier of Hakuli, Reimu would not have been able to do it without a certain amount of knowledge about Cheng Dù.

The reason why she was chosen was not only because of the huge spiritual power she was born with, but also because she had a talent in this aspect that ordinary people could only envy.

This, probably because she was chosen from the beginning, so, Purple found her.

Reimu had questioned her talent before, but now, she only wanted to thank it, and it was because of this that she could stand here, facing Yakumo Blue, and not worrying about her falling behind.

"You seem to be too obsessed with the barrage, Hakurei Shrine Maiden!"

However, before she could rejoice, she heard Yakumo Lan's unexpected voice.

The swastika that surrounded her suddenly kept spinning, and with this swastika in hand, Yakumo Blue rushed straight towards Reimu.

The speed was as fast as a ray of light, and in an instant, it came to Reimu's eyes, and then in the raindrops mixed with the barrage, he kicked Reimu.

Is it physical surgery......

This kick didn't bother Reimu, it simply hit the double enchantment that had already opened, but in exchange, the double enchantment disappeared after completing its mission, and if you want to continue using it, you need to prepare again.

But at this time, Lan Ke won't give Reimu, she has already fought with Reimu, how can she stop.

The two began to fight head-to-head, Reimu is also an expert in physical arts, not only in the process of fighting with monsters, even before she was a Hakurei witch, Yakumo Purple taught her some methods of fighting, and Reimu, who is talented, also perfectly exerted the characteristics of physical arts.

It can be said that although it is not often used, if it is to fight, even if Hongzhi is full force, he has no way to deal with Reimu in close combat.

This probably proves a little bit of Reimu's ability in this area, although not as outstanding as her aggressiveness......

Yakumo Blue, as a purple accompanying youkai, is not the first time to see Reimu, but in the previous time, she did not appear, although Reimu when she was a child would not have any abnormalities when she saw a youkai, in her eyes, it seems that all life is the same...... This is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to do.

However, even so, Reimu felt a struggle in the process of fighting with Blue.

Yakumo Blue is not good at martial arts...... At least for Reimu, her physical skills may be able to defeat a lot of people, but it can't make Reimu feel threatened.

But the battle between the two people, Reimu still felt extremely difficult.

It was the struggle, she felt that parrying seemed to be getting more and more difficult, Yakumo Lan's movements were very fast, and every time she advanced a little, she had to retreat a little, and more often she could only fight back with dodges rather than with parrying.

That's why, obviously it doesn't feel so fast...... But I still can't seem to react.

If it weren't for the fact that she had become fast, then it must have ...... It's the self that slows down.

After thinking about it for a while, Reimu grasped the point of the matter, and it must be this 10,000-word problem.

Lan doesn't do meaningless things, although this thing has no effect on touching people, but unconsciously, Reimeng's own movements and reactions are reduced by this thing, even if she wants to, her body can't keep up with the movements, and her intuition tells her that she should dodge instead of resisting.

In such a situation, it was a bit of a fluke to be able to fight against Yakumo Blue for so long.

"It seems to have been discovered...... But it won't make you back down! "The truth that the opportunity cannot be missed, it is impossible for Yakumo Lan not to understand, she smiled slightly, and with a turn of her body, nine tails suddenly danced, and the top of each tail carried a dark blue ghost fire.

The nine tails swept towards Reimu in an instant......

Usually, Reimu also likes such a fluffy tail, but if he eats it at this time, he definitely can't eat the rhythm of walking around.

Therefore, she decisively wanted to dodge, but at the end of this turn, Yakumo Blue's body fell in the air again.

Seem...... Can't hide!

Reimu looked at the growing shadow in surprise, and the weird smile on Yakumo's face.
