Chapter 575 Shame Leads to Courage

"Young Miss, you've done this too—"

In a remote mountain valley far from the battlefield, Teach emerged from the surging black mud; even this cunning old fox didn't know how to describe his feelings.

The battle has only just begun and is far from over;
He ran away after just one move?
The outcome is still uncertain!
"What do you know?"

Nine Sky Shaking Love, who appeared from the void beside her, gave Teach a disdainful look.

"That man actually possesses extremely powerful martial arts skills. Continuing to fight him will only lead to our own humiliation."

"With your divine power, how could you possibly lose?"

Jiu Kong Yao Ai shook her head at Teach's questioning words.

“That man also has spatial abilities, so I don’t have the upper hand; and don’t forget—”

Abe no Seimei was a great Onmyoji who returned from the underworld.

To say that he couldn't influence Huang Quan would be unbelievable to Jiu Kong Yao Ai: the previous test had already proven this point; this great Yin-Yang Master was completely adept at dealing with opponents with spatial abilities.

Thinking of that chop that almost cut her in two, Jiu Kong Yao Ai felt a dull pain in her lower back.

"A mere Onmyoji possesses such terrifying physical strength?"

Are you trying to kill everyone else?!

Little did people know that Seimei was known as the 'Iron Man' in legends;
He outlived six emperors; if Ashiya Dōman hadn't stolen his wife, who knows how long he could have held on.

"Then, Miss."

"What are we going to do next?"

The 'army' obtained from the Warring States period was abandoned, along with the 'subordinates' secretly developed, who were also left in Matsue City; presumably, they are now surrounded by the island government and have returned to a situation where only the two of them remain.

Fortunately, the young lady has the "Reanimation Jutsu," so she can summon subordinates on the spot.

"Next, of course, we will continue to search for the remains of Orochi."

For Kukuyo Ai, this was not just a simple beating. She touched the hem of Abe no Seimei's clothes, and the difference between them was already visible; in other words, the next time would be the moment of victory!

After speaking, Jiu Kongyao turned around, her cold gaze falling on Teach.

“I ‘believe’ you will bring me new remains, right?”

As he spoke, an inexplicable chill spread through him.

"As you wish,"

After a long pause, Teach respectfully bowed his head.

"Let's go."

As Jiu Kong Yao Ai raised her finger and touched Teach's knee, the two disappeared in a twisting motion.

Next second,
The leaves of the trees in the mountain valley fell like rain!

Whether it's low shrubs or tall trees;

Whether it was the weeds covering the ground, the flowers, birds, beasts, or even the ants and snakes in the soil, they all lost their lives in an instant.

Death continued to spread, climbing from the valley to the peak, and spreading in all directions! Strength and weakness are always concepts of comparison, and Jiu Kong Yao Ai is by no means weak.

Tokyo,

“Amazing~~”

With Jiu Kong Yao Ai's decisive escape, the great battle came to an abrupt end.

In the office of the Jujutsu Academy, Nagisa Ichiyo couldn't help but admire: Don't underestimate her because of her weak skills. She has been following Yu for so long, so she must have some discernment.

The great Onmyoji dominated the entire battlefield from the moment he appeared; the so-called numbers were meaningless in front of him. Even Jiukong Yaoai, who was already considered a 'powerful dragon', was knocked off the battlefield with a wave of her hand, losing her will to fight and fleeing directly.

"This is a high-level application of the Five Elements Technique,"

You, sitting behind her desk, makes comments.

"Only by mastering the changes in the nature of attributes can one reach the Ghost level; achieving the fusion of two attributes is the Dragon level; and if one can fuse three attributes..."

Even at the god level!
Of course, you have to take control of it yourself.

If it's something like Yuluo that's taken a shortcut, or something inherited through bloodline, it's just a matter of 'knowing what but not why' application.

Like the siblings from the Sea Kingdom, who can only use 'Dust Release' with the help of the Three Divine Swords; and the Duke of Flame, who is a creation of 'Radiance Release' plus Yang attribute chakra.

"Even with divine or demonic bloodlines, the extent of their power depends on the individual's cultivation."

Whenever she has time, Yu habitually instills the idea of ​​'striving for self-cultivation' in others.

If you don't work hard, how can I achieve the Bloodline Limit?
Of course, Yu herself wasn't idle either.

He had no intention of following in the footsteps of Kaguya-sama, whose immortal bloodline limit was ultimately overturned by his own son.

"Look at the leader of the Kunitsu gods, 'Ōkuninushi',"

"In terms of talent, what makes him different from his eighty-eight brothers?"

No,

However, legend has it that this guy was unsociable and was ostracized by his eighty-eight brothers; later, because a goddess pursued him, he joined forces to hunt down the Great Lord, forcing the Great Lord to become a powerful figure.

"How could one become a ruler without the experience of fighting against heaven and earth?"

After listening to Yu's "toxic chicken soup" (a Chinese idiom for encouragement and motivation), Nagisa Ichiyo nodded, then asked a question with a puzzled look:

"But why is it that, Yu-kun, you don't seem to have been cultivating much?"

“I’m different,”

You waved her hand.
"My secret technique is to become as strong as 'others.' Besides—"

You reached out and put his arm around the slender waist of the girl beside him.

"Continuously and safely injecting power into your bodies is also a form of cultivation."

This is no nonsense. When granting power to others, Yu doesn't need to care about any consequences or concerns: he simply and roughly stuffs it in, and whether they can withstand it or how far they develop their power is their business.

However, for those close to you, you need to consider your talents, the changes brought about by your strength, and future plans. This requires laying a solid foundation.

"Oh, is that so?"

Yi Ye is indeed a wealthy heiress, but she's just at the point where she's become accustomed to the sweetness of life; she sits on You's lap with a smile, leaning down to whisper softly in his ear.

"Even without power, I still like it very much~~"

the other side,
The Metropolitan Police Department of the island nation.

"Is that so?"

Xiao's voice came through the phone.
"It's good that Jiu Kong didn't cause any damage."

"Xiao, are you coming back?"

After informing the other party of everything that had just happened, Director Zhu Ya took the initiative to inquire.

"I can ask Higashi Takami to take over the battlefield in your place—"

"No need,"

The next second, Xiao's reply came through the phone, making Director Zhuya think, "I knew it." "Resisting the Burning Legion's attack is my own personal matter."

"Let's not bother others."

Island nations value 'not causing trouble for others,' and as Takashi said, resisting the Burning Legion was his own personal choice; having others take over the battlefield was not in his nature. Furthermore:

"Given Jiu Kong Yao Ai's personality, I could never persuade her to let go of her hatred."

Takashi even privately speculated that the island nation's government, Abe no Seimei, that Principal Yu, and even the beings in Takamagahara were involved.
Perhaps they are all waiting, waiting for Jiu Kongyao's beloved general to devour the power of 'Yamata no Orochi', and then—

Xiao shook his head slightly, unwilling to continue thinking about it, even though he was far away in America.

He's just a 'mere' ghost-level character.

He had neither the power nor the standing to interfere with the schemes of those dragon-level and god-level big shots.

咔、

Hang up the phone,

Director Zhu Ya looked up at her secretary, who was breathing a sigh of relief.
"Don't be nervous. I told you before, Xiao won't be coming back."

"Yes, the director understands people's hearts and minds, so he naturally has everything under control, which is something we can't do."

The secretary's flattering reply was not what Director Zhuya wanted to hear:
"What about those extraordinary beings from the 'Warring States Period'?"

"They've been brought under control and invited to Osaka Prefecture for temporary rest; they'll be flying to Tokyo next, but from Osaka—"

"I know."

Director Zhu Ya interrupted the secretary.
Given the nature of Osaka Prefecture officials, they would definitely do everything in their power to keep these extraordinary individuals there.

But things are never that simple.
trouble!

"Fill it up, fill it up~~"

"Come on, eat! Such tender meat!"

"What fine wine! The enjoyment in your world is truly the epitome of luxury."

In the antique-style hall, a group of warriors were feasting and drinking. They had never lacked food and clothing before, but at most they would smear some sea salt on their lips. If they didn't drink alcohol, their mouths would be as bland as a bird.

I've been completely captivated by all the modern embellishments; the 'otherworldly beauty' beside me, on the other hand, doesn't hold much appeal.

On the one hand, what obedient maids didn't they have before?
On the other hand, these beauties are too 'delicate' and cannot withstand their galloping.

This is Sonezaki Shinchi, Kita-ku, Osaka, often simply called 'Kitashinchi'. It's a famous area in Osaka known for its nightclubs and entertainment venues, much like Ginza in Tokyo. With thousands of upscale bars, clubs, and restaurants, it's a great place for business people to entertain guests.

Now, the Osaka side has cleared out the space to entertain thousands of distinguished guests from the 'Sengoku Dimension'!

These are all extraordinary individuals, and their strength is at least at the level of a strong wolf: below this level, Jiu Kong Yao Ai wouldn't even look at them.

Although many of these 'distinguished guests' are not human, what does it matter? As long as you have power, what does it matter if they're dogs? Countless women are eager to pounce on them: Half-demon? Half-demon is great! They possess both human intelligence and demonic power—isn't that the best of both worlds?

Of course, in most cases, half-demons inherit the dullness of demons, combined with the mediocre talents of humans.

However, no matter what, they are still better off than ordinary people: so many male monsters are surrounded by 'enthusiastic' women who urge them to drink, and they have already become dizzy and disoriented.

Unfortunately, the strongest top-tier demons were all reincarnated from the Impure World by Jiu Kong Yao Ai. As she remotely dispelled the spell, these powerful beings turned to ashes, causing the island nation's government great distress: several demon-level powerhouses were gone just like that.

If we can recruit them.
With the wine flowing freely and their ears ringing, the 'socialites' who had received instructions from the government took the opportunity to make suggestive remarks; however, upon hearing that they had to stay in this world, most of the monsters and samurai changed their expressions.

"I think the cave is more comfortable."

"A samurai's duty is to defend his territory; let us not speak of such things again!"

Next came proverbs such as "A man will encounter seven enemies when he leaves home," "He will encounter three calamities when he goes out," and "A journey is as fleeting as morning dew."

Translated, it all means "It's good to stay at home for a thousand days, but difficult to go out for even one day."

To remain in this world?

What a joke!
Leaving aside the god-like and demonic 'Abe no Seimei' from before, the 'daimyo' of this world who sent 'invitations' to them were four beings of the 'top-tier great demon' level!

It wasn't that no inherently wicked demons attempted to resist; however, the other side only sent one:
The seemingly ordinary boy with the sea urchin-shaped haircut reached out and touched it.

then,

There's no after that!

Anything touched by his right hand would instantly turn into an inanimate object, whether it be magic, a barrier, a demon sword, or even the demon itself. He was more like the Grim Reaper than the Grim Reaper himself!
Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that the boy's name was "Shen Jing Tao Mo" (神净讨魔); such an arrogant name, no wonder he was so terrifying.

Otherwise, why would these arrogant and unruly monsters and samurai come over as guests in such an obedient manner?
This world is too dangerous, we need to go home!

"These guys are terrified; very few are willing to stay."

In a conference room of a most luxurious hotel, Colonel Ya Bai looked at the intelligence report in his hand and put down the tablet in disappointment.

"It is very difficult to incorporate them into our fighting force."

"That's only natural, isn't it?"

A squinty-eyed officer with a thick Kansai accent shrugged.

"These poor guys, they just arrived and immediately encountered an opponent of such extraordinary stature as 'Abe no Seimei'; they're already considered elite if they weren't scared to death on the spot~~"

To be honest, the monsters and samurai in the Warring States period were not weak.

After all, that world had top-tier combat power like the Dragon-level 'Dog General', and several Demon-level powerhouses as well.

However, these guys were first enveloped by the 'powerful dragon' level Nine Sky Shake Love; then they encountered Abe no Seimei, a top-tier dragon-level being, who manipulated the five elements and reversed everything with a single move. Even if their army's superhuman troops had gone there, they would have only despair.

"But not everyone is like that,"

Another officer entered, saluted, and then reported:
"The Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cats have agreed to cooperate with us."

The so-called "Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cats" are the four children of the Leopard Cat Lord. They were originally leaders who led the Leopard Cat clan to fight against the Wolfhound clan for territory. However, as the strength of the brothers Sesshomaru and Inuyasha increased dramatically, they no longer had the power to contend with them.

Especially this time, he witnessed firsthand the power and might of his father's generation of strongmen.

They also deeply understood their own weakness.

Fortunately, their 'dead ghost' father left them with a cultivation memory before he was exorcised from the impure world.

With this memory, they can also try to break through to the realm of a top-tier demon.

Faced with the olive branch extended by the island nation's government—no, it should be said, the 'Osaka government'—the four leopard cat siblings agreed without much consideration.

This world is naturally a dangerous place that others avoid like the plague; but for those who want to become stronger, it is a treasure trove: formidable enemies are the best training ground for becoming stronger.

"it is good,"

Kafka nodded.
"Don't forget to communicate with Tokyo about this. Sigh."

It was not Kafka's intention to seize these extraordinary individuals, but he had to consider the safety of the army and the entire Osaka: when in a high position, these are things that cannot be avoided.

As the other officers left, the female officer, Abe, came over and took Kafka's hand.

"Thanks for your hard work,"

"No,"

Kafka, on the other hand, didn't find it hard.
"It is enough as long as people can enjoy peaceful times."

Unfortunately, in this extraordinary and turbulent era, such aspirations are destined to be difficult to sustain.
