Chapter 21: The Jade of the Four Souls and Escape

Even if it can't use demonic power, the body of the youkai still has strength and speed that surpasses that of most mortals. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yakumo's speed was incredible, at least for this robber samurai.

"The demon knife slashed her, but it was only a minor injury, and she didn't want to let me go easily!"

Seeing the red eyes of the girl on the other side, and the chill he felt from the solemn killing intent, the robber samurai didn't feel that he had any room for chance.

"Mizuki Daiki, you have to firmly remember that in the face of an opponent whose speed is above you, you must not think about escaping! Only by killing or injuring them can you hope to get out alive. ”

He felt as if he had returned to his childhood, when he heard the teacher lecturing to him that afternoon, when he was practicing knives at home.

It turns out that it has been so many years. Over the years, even my swordsmanship has been wasted!

"Teacher・・・・・・ I will live!"

Having strengthened his belief, Shuiyue Daihui seemed to have returned to that time, regaining the sharpness he had when he first debuted, instantly slashing all distracting thoughts, and entering the state of mind that a qualified swordsman should have.

"・・・・・・ do your best, kill each other, and leave calmly."

He has not practiced knives for a long time, but he has not been rusty, this knife, after all, is a treasure that he once wore day and night. At this time, a little familiarity, the understanding of the knife has a feeling of going to the next level, these years of ups and downs, frustration, confusion, on the occasion of life and death, condensed into one, all as the food of the knife.

From the perspective of a spectator, silently savoring, chewing, and absorbing, all of which melted into his knife skills.

"The way of the knife bearer is his life. I'm starting to understand that, teacher. ”

At this moment, Shuiyue Dahui was enlightened, and with a detached heart, he swung a knife that represented the first half of his life. This knife is mediocre, but it contains his past frustration and confusion, this unrelenting will is the essence of being able to hurt monsters, and it is one of the signatures of the sword hero against monsters.

Yakumo Zi felt the change in the momentum of the human beings on the other side, it was very peculiar, just like wiping a mirror, there was a feeling of sublimation, just like those ・・・・・・ swordsmen who had been immersed in swordsmanship for more than ten years?

"Not good!"

Although Yakumo Zi dodged in time, he did avoid the damage of the demon knife, and there were indeed no injuries on the surface, but the damage on the inside was not small.

That was one of the characteristics of Jian Hao, and it really hurt her.

At this time, she could not fight this intention. In a sense, Jian Hao's will is the same thing as the various abilities of the monsters, and they all have various powers.

"Ahem, ahem, you won."

Yakumo Zi admitted it, but he was not prepared to die like this. Is this still far from the mansion of His Excellency Onmyoji?

She just looked at the water moon and didn't know what she was thinking.

Mizuki Daiki didn't mean to step forward to finish off this youkai.

He stood in place with his knife in his hand, silently immersed for a moment before speaking.

"Thank you!"

"Hey! Ay? If we killed your companions, do you want to thank us? Since thank you, why don't you just let us kill you? ”

Yakumo Murasaki is a youkai who doesn't quite understand what humans think, and she feels that she still has too little knowledge.

"・・・・・・ it's because of you that I've come to my senses. My pursuit has never been to become a robber or a sharp knife for a great nobleman・・・・・・ so I will not kill you, because it is because of you, I have understood my true thoughts. As for the guys, they're just companions employed by the same employer, and I've decided not to do it, so it doesn't matter. ”

Shuiyue Daihui just took it step by step, facing Yakumo Purple, and slowly left this alley.

From the beginning to the end, we never let our guard down.

Yakumo didn't make any moves, just quietly watched him go away.

After a long time, Yakumo Zi fell into decadence.

"We're really unlucky—"

Embarrassed, Yakumo Purple had to hastily bandage her wounds and sneak back to the shrine on a path・・・・・・

Even if it's a youkai, Yakumo Murasaki knows how unbearable her current image is.

The clothes were cut one by one by the knife, the arms were stained with blood, and the dirt and dust rolling on the ground, all kinds of abrasions and bruises・・・・・・

"It's like a little girl who has been robbed unfortunately・・・・・・ it's a shame for us to look like this! It's all Qingming's fault, since we met him, we have always had a bad time. If it weren't for him, we would definitely be drinking afternoon tea with Youxiang now, how could we get hurt? ”

Unfortunately, Yakumo still has nowhere else to go, so she has to go back to her owner, at least with food and lodging.

"If only someone could save me."

Yakumo Zi also knew that this was just an extravagant hope, except for the sunflower, no demon would care about her life or death.

"You have to find a way to escape, but you can't get rid of that guy's yin-yang technique, and it's only a matter of time before you are found."

Yakumo Zi pressed the thoughts that kept churning in his heart and returned to Qingming's house.

Many of the resident gods in the house have the means to heal the wounds on her body caused by the demon knife.

"Remember the last time that guy was here?"

Yakumo swaggered through the items of Harumi, which were only unimportant items, so they were casual.

"This, the jade bead, seems to be called the jade of the four souls."

Qingming purified the evil qi in the jade of the four souls, and liberated the soul of the witch Tsuiko, and the souls of the monsters were swept away, leaving only the pure essence of demonic power and part of the power of the soul.

This thing is of little use to Qingming, and after solving the hidden danger, he put it in the house to decorate, but he didn't know when it was noticed by Yakumo Zi, and it was already in her hand at this time.

"Legend has it that the Jade of the Four Souls was formed after a battle between a large number of youkai and the shrine maiden Tsuiko. Then it stands to reason that there should be a considerable amount of youkai essence here, as well as the powerful spiritual power of the shrine maiden Cuizi. It's just that the guy put it here at random, he must have dealt with it, and it's hard to say how much is left. ”

Yakumo Zi observed for a long time, but he didn't find any special features about this jade of the four souls, nor did he have the kind of attraction to youkai that he had rumored.

Finally, she opened her cherry mouth and bit the jade of the four souls.

The teeth clenched, bite, clicked, shattered.

The pure demonic essence leaked out, no, it exploded, and the jade of the four souls emitted a brilliant white light, splitting apart and spreading everywhere.

Did this scene only last for a short time, and it was in the afternoon, under the cover of the Sun Palace, and no one noticed it, even Yakumo Murasaki, the initiator, didn't care about it.

The jade, which possessed so much pure power, shattered and made Yakumo Zi's entire demon soak in a sea of pure demonic power

"It's really pure, it's really purified by that guy, this pure demonic power can be directly absorbed!"

Yakumo Purple greedily absorbed, just like a person in the desert who was about to die of thirst, and had an unimaginable thirst for this high-quality demonic essence, which was a desire for evolution.

"Tens of thousands of monsters, the demonic power that will not be dispersed after death, has been purified by the Onmyoji to remove the evil qi, and the remaining high-purity demonic power is hundreds of times that of me before. Absorbing this part of the demonic power, it can completely supply me to grow quickly and become a big monster. ”

Unconsciously, Yakumo Zi chewed, bitten, and ate a few pieces of the jade of the Four Souls, and the massive amount of demonic power brought her infinite satisfaction.

"In this way, we will be able to break through the seal of the curse."

"This piece of jade, even if it is a fragment, carries such a pure aura, it is more than enough to cover my demonic energy. As long as we hide, in a hundred years, you human onmyoji will have died a long time ago, and I will come back to settle accounts with you! I must dig you out of the dirt and whip the corpse! ”

Yakumo Zi left with a large fragment of the Four Souls Jade opening a gap.

She regained her demonic power, and naturally she could detect the strangeness of this piece of jade itself, and firmly believed that this piece of jade was enough to cover her demonic aura and avoid the tracking of yin and yang arts.

Yin-Yang Technique is not omnipotent, tracking the enemy, there are also limitations, and there are also shortcomings, Yakumo Zi naturally knows it.
