I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 374 Eye-Catching
null-----

The extraordinary swords 'Executioner's Blade' and 'Kusanagi Sword' collided violently, and the blades, made of extraordinary materials, were suddenly twisted!

The massive explosion instantly engulfed the two figures, and amidst the collapse, an incomparably sharp shockwave swept out: a giant crescent-shaped bolt of white lightning streaked across the heads of numerous extraordinary individuals, tearing resort hotels in half; the lightning that followed spread outwards, ripping these buildings into countless fragments.

A fan-shaped beam of white lightning swept across the area.

Destroy everything that dares to stand in our way for hundreds of meters!
The clouds in the sky dispersed in circles, and the sea in the distance was turbulent, with giant waves tens of meters high layer upon layer.
"Demon level!"

"This clash is definitely at a ghost-level skill level!"

The superhuman, who was sprawled on the ground with his limbs spread out and used his spiritual power to adhere himself to the ground, gasped in shock.

This sea area is definitely the most active place for powerful demons, where there are often fierce battles between ghost-level superhumans; although the group's strength is insufficient, their experience is definitely enough.

"This is an attack from Tokishima."

"Who's winning?"

The extraordinary person who asked this question
The thought of what would happen to me if I faced this attack flashed through my mind, and I immediately shuddered.

Death without a whole body!

That young 'Shura' is probably already...
"Shura won."

The Ten-Headed Serpent King, standing beside him with his arms crossed, spoke calmly.

? ? ? ?
Everyone looked over upon hearing this.
At the epicenter of the explosion, two figures holding knives stood back to back, about five or six meters apart.

Blood was splattered all over the ground between the two people.

And the injured are:
puff,

A mouthful of blood gushed from Xiao's mouth, who was holding half of a 'decapitation sword' and whose body was covered in wounds.

? !
"This"

"Even the extraordinary sword broke?!"

This look doesn't seem like that of someone who has won at all, does it?
In contrast, Poison Island—

"sharp,"

Holding the Kusanagi sword, Busujima murmured blankly, a look of relief appearing on his face.

click,

Cracks appeared on the Kusanagi sword.

The next second, cracks continued to spread, covering the entire extraordinary sword.

Immediately following:

splash,

The extraordinary sword, forged by the Daodaozhai a thousand years ago, shattered into countless fragments, leaving only a broken hilt!

Blood also fell: a knife wound appeared on Tokushima's chest, slashing diagonally from his shoulder to his lower abdomen.

thud,

Both knees buckled.
Pokjima, who possessed the 'Eye of God,' knelt down helplessly.

Rumble rumble rumble~~~!!
At the same time, in the center of the island behind her, the main peak of Banglao Island was slowly sliding down; it was actually hit by the crimson light emitted by Xiao and instantly cut in half!
hiss----

The superhumans watching the battle felt a pang of sympathy and a sense of relief that they hadn't rushed forward.

These two guys actually unleashed demon-level attack power!
Although it only has one move, it is already incredibly terrifying.
Is it possible that two Ghost-level superhumans will appear at the same time?
“Hoo~Hoo~~”

Just as the superhumans watching the battle were getting excited, Xiao, who was holding half of the 'decapitation sword', turned around.

"Bukushima-senpai, I won."

"Cough cough,"

Kneeling on one knee, using the hilt of his sword to keep himself from falling, Busujima forced a smile as he turned his head.

"Yeah, you win."

"Kill me, I'll die by your hand."

Not bad.

Everyone must die eventually.
If you've chosen to take up a sword and kill, then when you're killed, don't throw a tantrum; end it with dignity.

"That's not why I defeated you."

The blood stored in the knife had been completely used up, but Xiao was the one who stood until the end.

"Senior Busujima, come back."

"I don't know why you insist on being alone,"

"But now I have the power to defeat you, and I've also met many extraordinary individuals. No matter what the problem is, I can always help you."

?

This guy is actually trying to persuade the other side to surrender.

Those extraordinary individuals in the distance, witnessing this display, felt a surge of admiration.

"Perhaps I don't know your whole story, but the Busujima-senpai I once knew was gentle, polite, strong, and composed."

"I don't believe those were all pretense, so this time, can you tell me why?"

"Xiao, you've changed."

Busujima staggered and struggled to his feet. The blood-covered boy in front of him was just a junior who had been chasing after him. There were many, far too many people like him.

After all, Poison Island was once the winner of the Women's Jade Dragon Flag, and she would see longing and hostile gazes every day.

But the figure that used to chase after her has already passed her.

Lost!

Utter defeat.
"It really makes me feel complicated."

"Alright, since you won, I have nothing to hide—"

Pfft

With a shudder, Tokishima lowered his head;
What he saw was a hand emerging from his own chest, and fingers pointing at Xiaoquqi!
"Senior?!"

"Escape quickly——"

With the last of his strength, he raised his hand to grab the arm that was piercing through him, but the bent index finger had already sprung out. Thud!
Xiao, his face filled with shock, vanished instantly, flying backward at an alarming speed.

Behind me is the Great Tengu!!
Two magatama suddenly appeared in his eye sockets, and as they spun, they transformed into three.
"You have let me down too much."

A cold voice sounded behind her, and before Poison Island could continue struggling, flames erupted from the hand that pierced her chest, engulfing her entirely.

"filial piety!!"

A howling gale surged in first, tearing the earth apart; followed by a fist, imbued with unparalleled determination and skill, it was Toja Oni-ohma who had made his move!
Boom~~
On the other side, the earth suddenly exploded open; a giant snake opened its blood-red maw, its pale white fangs laced with deadly venom, and lunged to bite!

"act recklessly,"

Facing attacks from both sides, the refined middle-aged man from the poison island was pierced through from behind with his arm;
Without even glancing at the attacks from the left and right, it struck the pair of blood-red eyes left behind after the body was burned to ashes.

Three-tomoe jade pendant
A pretty good result.

On the trajectory of the mourning garment, which flew backward like a tattered rag, a snake's mouth burst forth from the ground.

Let it fly into your mouth.

"woke up?"

Sitting up in bed, Xiao frowned slightly at the darkness before him.

"This is what I am"

? !
"Senior Busujima—"

"Hey, stop moving around, you idiot."

Just as he subconsciously tried to move, several moving 'ropes' held him in place.

"Your senior is gone, vanished into thin air, not even a trace remains. Wait, it seems she left behind a pair of eyes."

The familiar, childish voice in his ear was as ruthless as ever, but Xiao was not angered by it: on the one hand, he had recalled his previous experiences; on the other hand, the speaker was just like that.

"Can you let me go, young lady?"

"no problem,"

As the sound came from ahead, the 'ropes' binding Xiao—no, they should be called venomous snakes—slithered away.

"You saved me?"

After moving his hands and feet, Xiao discovered that his body showed signs of treatment.

His memory stopped when Poison Island was ambushed and pierced through the chest by an unknown superhuman; then the other party flicked his finger, and everything came to an abrupt end.

In that case,
The death of the senior student is perfectly normal;
He, however, was actually saved by his former 'boss'.

"That's right,"

It was still that familiar, haughty, and youthful voice, undoubtedly belonging to 'Nine Sky Shakes Love'.

"Be thankful, if you hadn't met me, you would be dead!"

That's true. Xiao, who was already on his deathbed, was attacked by that 'unknown superhuman' and was on the verge of death on the spot. Jiu Kong Yao Ai took advantage of the chaos to pick him up and, with a few tinkering sessions of 'Orochi-style medical techniques', actually saved him.

"Then, Miss."

What do you want me to do for you?

Everyone here is an old acquaintance. Based on Xiao's understanding of Jiu Kong Yao Ai, the other party would never lend a helping hand unless there was something he needed to do himself.

"Help me defeat Abe no Seimei!"

“If my opponent were Abe no Seimei, I would naturally be duty-bound to assist. But—”

As Xiao groped his way out of bed and stood up, a speechless expression appeared on his face.

That's a Dragon-level monster!
There are countless levels between us.

Even with all his might, Xiao could only unleash a single 'demon-level' attack.

Dealing with Abe no Seimei is simply beyond our capabilities.

"I didn't tell you to call now,"

Sitting on the snake throne in this abandoned hotel, Jiu Kong Yao Ai propped her cheek with one hand.

"When I need you, you must stand by my side: Don't worry, this time I only need you to deal with Abe no Seimei!"

"no problem."

Xiao nodded in agreement without hesitation.

His life was indeed saved by this old acquaintance in front of him, and to be honest, Kyuuya was also a victim: she used to be just a young lady with a bad temper, but she was tricked by Abe no Seimei into becoming the world's second most wanted criminal. In addition, the great Onmyoji was preparing to release Orochi, so Takashi had no reason to refuse.

Even if it means death, I would have no regrets.

"Huh? Wait a minute—"

Seeing Xiao turn and walk towards the cabinet next to her, Jiu Kong Yao Ai subconsciously stood up.

"your eyes."

When Xiao was picked up by her, he had more than a dozen fractures all over his body, a ruptured eardrum, a detached cornea, and a damaged lens. Other things were healed, but his eyes were... Jiu Kong's medical skills were all accumulated from her own experience. Treating eyes was too difficult for an amateur like her.

"It doesn't matter,"

However, Xiao easily walked to the hotel cabinet and picked up the broken 'decapitation sword'.

"After losing my sight, my 'perception' of the world has become clearer."

This state is perfect for him to cultivate 'foresight'.

"It's a pity your extraordinary sword is broken."

Since Xiao Du didn't care, Jiu Kongyaoai would let him be: seeing the boy pick up the broken broadsword, she couldn't help but speak up.

"It doesn't matter,"

Surprisingly, Xiao remained calm.

"This knife can self-repair after absorbing blood."

But Poison Island-senpai, that's what it means to be a superhuman: killing or being killed is just a matter of a single thought.
