Chat group: My Fist of the North Star will never lose!

Chapter 359 My hand is burning like a raging fire

Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain of monsters!

Just like Yotsuya Miko initially didn't understand what kind of taste vests, capes, and post-apocalyptic punk were! But after seeing a lot of someone's outfits, she gradually felt that this kind of fashion sense wasn't so unacceptable after all.

This is probably what Xiaohua and the others meant by leading the fashion trend... One day, all the shrine maidens will be proud to wear such a shrine maiden outfit, and then she will be the first to lead the trend! The girl thought optimistically... What a joke!
"Unless some common sense tells you the world is reversed, how is that even possible? (slams head down)!"

There may be such a day, but it will definitely not be today.

So, as expected, it still attracts attention.

Feeling the gaze of the demon Shiro Tengu, as if he were scrutinizing some strange figure, the girl could no longer bear it.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and charged forward, a thin layer of golden battle aura igniting from her body.

At the same time, it seemed as if several figures identical to her separated in an instant, launching an attack on the Tengu at the same time as Yotsuya Miko. The clones and the original body turned into blurry phantoms, overlapping each other, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

——"Illusionary Palm"

One of the signature techniques of Nanto White Heron Fist is to use swift movements to confuse the opponent's vision, disrupt their judgment, and then launch an attack.

When Jianzi went to the Big Dipper World, he returned the Buddhist beads that he no longer needed to Longquan and thanked the old man.

Overjoyed at finding her lost treasure, the old man of Dragon Fist, upon learning that she practiced the Southern Dipper Jade Fist, gathered the few remaining elders of the Southern Dipper sect and gave the young girl some pointers.

As for Xiuwu himself…

“I saw the light in this girl’s eyes. If it’s her, then I have no objection.”

Xiuwu, who had removed the black cloth covering his eyes, inexplicably felt that this girl might resemble him in some way, perhaps because of the resonance he felt as someone who could also "see".

In short, in about two or three days, Jianzi seamlessly transitioned to the advanced White Heron Fist Technique, and now he uses it skillfully.

Golden streams of battle qi converged in his right palm like rivers flowing into the sea, his blood and energy twisting into an incomparably sharp aura, with bulging veins clearly visible beneath his fair skin.

Before this, she had never fought against an opponent who was beyond human comprehension. Although some of the so-called spirits were good and some were bad, most of them did not really harm her. Those with "ulterior motives" were all sent to heaven on the spot by her talisman cards. As a result, she has not yet been able to fully unleash the martial arts skills she has practiced for so long.

In other words—she doesn't know just how strong she really is!

I don't even know if I can defeat the tengu in front of me!

After all, she was just a human, while the other party was a monster!

but,
We should at least give it a try, right?
The girl's delicate face quickly concealed her shyness, and she didn't make any further expressions at that moment. Instead, a captivating aura emanated from her dazzling golden eyes.

Excitement surged through her, propelling her to new heights.

Compared to the apprentice priestesses who went all out on their first battle, the tengu girl, whose duty was to defend, stood firm like a stubborn rock, neither retreating nor advancing.

She is the "guardian" of the Monster Mountain, and her duty is to prevent outsiders from intruding.

Faced with the several figures attacking her, she did not choose to distinguish between the real and the fake, thus stepping into the trap set by the enemy. Instead, she calmly swung the long sword in her right hand, making a horizontal slash as light as if it were nothing, sending out a colorless but tangible heavy blow.

The air blades exploded violently in the air, instantly slicing all the "Red and White Witches" into two pieces, until a crisp collision sound rang out.

The fighting spirit wrapped around his arm collided and tore with the demonic sword energy, then exploded in the air in a clearly visible shockwave.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the black-haired girl slowly walked out. Her slender white fingers, joined together, were unharmed. Instead, they resembled a honed sword, exuding even greater power and a strong confidence to overcome all obstacles.

"You'd better be careful from now on."

With a kind reminder, and following this declaration, a dazzling light suddenly surged from Miko's body. Then, propelled by this light, the temporary shrine maiden Yotsuya Miko charged straight towards the "guardian" of the Youkai Mountain at full speed and with all her might!
The atmosphere, which had just calmed down, suddenly exploded. The temperature rose sharply, and smoke and dust, mixed with battle qi, formed a small tornado. The rapidly surging and rotating airflow emitted a sharp whistle, and countless tender green grass leaves on the ground were also pulverized and sent flying into the sky.

—White Egret - Fierce Kick to Slay the Enemy!

The next second, a sharp streak of light ripped through the sky, heading straight ahead!
The Tengu girl remained silent; her opponent seemed stronger than she had imagined.

The white blade in his right hand once again unleashed a fierce and unparalleled sword aura, and the air emanating from the blade produced strange sounds, some like hissing, some like wailing.

They raised their shields to meet them.

In an instant, their figures crossed paths.

Battle aura, demonic energy, slashes, and blade light collided in succession, faster, fiercer, and closer!

call out--

"Wow!"

It sounded like the cry of a huge raptor was coming from beside my ear.

Like a white egret standing on one leg, it reaches out with its sharp claws to the poor fish swimming in the water, and in the blink of an eye, cuts it into several pieces.

The dog-eared girl's head spun, and an expression of disbelief and incredulity appeared on her face.

—The incredibly sturdy Tengu Shield in her hand shattered.

Immediately afterwards, even the longsword made a crisp sound, and metal fragments fell to the ground with a crackling sound, leaving only the short hilt in her hand.

Whether used for attack or defense, all weapons were reduced to fragments by that sharp, cleaving foot.

Jia Ji often said, "The so-called high wall between unarmed and armed practitioners does not actually exist for Nanto's martial arts practitioners! Nanto Seiken is the martial art that breaks down this high wall."

"To cut through metal with one's own hard-won flesh is the most fundamental skill among fundamental skills, the romance of a martial artist!"

Before setting off, Miko didn't take the sealing needles, talismans, gohei, kagura bells, and other items prepared by Yakumo Yukari, nor the formidable Dojigiri Yasutsuna. To fight bare-handed in this dangerous world was undoubtedly a foolish and pointless act, but…

"It feels pretty good."

The girl smiled, retracted her pointed toes, and shook off a trace of blood.

The tengu girl swayed and fell to the ground, her clothes torn to shreds amidst the sharp, piercing screech that echoed in the air.

The girl named Yotsuya Miko stood with her hands behind her back, her head slightly raised, exuding the aura of a master. The girl who used to cry often now had the strength to defeat her opponents fairly and squarely.

The first one,
White Wolf Tengu is defeated!

...The tengu girl lay on the messy grass.

With her back to the sun, Yotsuya Miko saw only a blurry shadow. The light was so strong, and the shadow so heavy; the extreme contrast was incredibly striking to the girl's eyes.

Tengu's distinctive hexagonal red cap fell to the ground, and his relatively conservative white clothes were torn to shreds by the Nanto Seiken, revealing large patches of skin covered with bloody cuts, making him look quite ferocious and terrifying.

Fresh blood flowed out, staining the snow-white fur of the tengu completely red, and even a small pool of blood accumulated on the ground.

However, for a monster with such tenacious vitality, such an injury is merely a minor one, far from being fatal.

In just two seconds, her fighting spirit and conviction returned to her body. The tengu girl gritted her teeth and glared at the strange human, swaying as she tried to stand up again, supporting herself with her hands.

Her strength was clearly insufficient, and her movements were too large. The strange, tearing energy entwined around her wounds required her to expend a lot of demonic power to dispel it, and she would need to rest for a while to fully recover.

Therefore, the struggle at this moment only made the situation worse—the wound, which had not yet healed, gushed out a large amount of blood again, and the Tengu girl's face grew paler and paler. She soon could not hold on and fell to the ground with a thud.

"so cute…"

Seeing the girl with narrowed eyes and a smile, looking at the indomitable, loyal little dog-eared girl, he couldn't help but think.

Monsters are so cute!

They're way cuter than evil spirits!

She had originally thought she would be dealing with some ferocious and ugly demons and monsters with blue faces, fangs, and blood-red mouths, but she never expected that even the monsters in this world were beautiful girls. How amazing!
He cheered inwardly for a while, then saw that Zi was trying hard to control his expression and not show any obvious smugness after winning.

"Since you've fallen, it's probably best not to get up..."

She turned around gracefully, picked up the dusty notebook that had fallen to the ground, dusted it off, and handed it to the Tengu girl.

"Just sign your name obediently!"

When traveling the martial arts world, one naturally needs to carry a secret manual with them. This "Book of Friends" is the only "divine skill manual" that Yotsuya Miko obtained from the sage of the demons, besides the shrine maiden's robe.

Before Miko set off, Yukari Yakumo told her that there are generally two types of youkai that block the way: one type is those that you can kill without any reason and "form a bond" with, and the other type is those that you can beat to your knees and then use this "Book of Friends" to record their names and "form a bond" with them.

And those monsters who acquired her name could lend her a helping hand on her journey thereafter.

As for how to judge, is there a reason to kill?
Aside from the mission objectives, you can basically just kill any monsters that are too ugly. Even if you kill the wrong one, it doesn't matter, since they're just an eyesore anyway.

"What if we really kill a good monster?"

At that moment, the sage, barefoot and bare-socked, leaned against the furry fox shikigami. Hearing her question, he patted his chest and smiled broadly, saying:
"It's alright, I just killed a few monsters. You're my friend, Yukari Yakumo. You can kill whoever you want."

.........

"The tail... the tail has such a strong suction force, I'm going to be sucked in and become a cripple!"

After Miko set off, the Boundary Youkai once again shamelessly occupied his favorite spot—the fox girl's tail.

"Lord Zi, are you really not going to worry about your friend?"

Yakumo Ran asked, somewhat puzzled. Based on her understanding of her master and the attitude she had just shown towards Miko, Yakumo Yukari should be spying on what she was doing, where she was, and how far she had progressed through the gap.

But now, contrary to her usual behavior, she lies here doing nothing, as if she has extraordinary confidence in the girl who is serving as the temporary shrine maiden.

Even though her strength isn't that great... Three tails, no, Yakumo Ran asked herself, even if she only used two tails, she could easily defeat her. Even if the great demons didn't make a move, as long as three or five lesser demons with decent strength ganged up on her, they could beat her into a panic and even threaten her life.

Doesn't Yukari Yakumo worry about her?
"Hmm, it's alright... We're watching the live stream right now?" The youkai lazily counted on his fingers, "Eientei's healing medicine, the automatic protective barrier on the shrine maiden's outfit, and the Kaleidoscope's ability to travel anytime, anywhere..."

Seeing that Zi's trip seemed to be unarmed, it was actually much safer than imagined.

……

Seeing the yokai girl, whose body remained tense and whose expression was tense even as she approached, Miko changed her approach.

"What's your name...?"

"I...I won't tell you anything..."

White Wolf Tengu couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking, but that didn't stop her from resisting. However, she seemed to understand that the strange girl in front of her didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so her tone inevitably softened.

"Alright, alright, I won't make things difficult for you."

Since she refused to tell him, Jianzi didn't intend to force her, since there were many other options besides her.

She sighed with some regret, preparing to put the "Book of Friends" back into her arms and continue forward, but the next second, in a flash, the notebook had disappeared.

"Oh, what is this?"

A flippant voice sounded from behind Miko. When she turned around, she found her "Book of Friends" being manipulated by some yokai.

She was a lively girl with neat, shoulder-length black hair, a pair of huge raven wings that shimmered with black light on her back, and wooden clogs on her feet, yet she could still stand steadily on the tip of a thin twig.

"A tengu?"

Her clear black and white eyes sparkled with a beautiful light, and white tassels hung from her red square hat, swaying with her hair. Her white clothes and black skirt swayed gently in the breeze, making her look like a fairy in the wind.

A high-ranking being among the Tengu.

Jianzi frowned. Although she hadn't reached that level herself, she had witnessed quite a few high-level battles, so she could deduce—

I am no match for her.

How come I just defeated the small one, and now the old one is here? Do monsters have a support system too? This is so troublesome!
However, even if I can't win, I have to try first, otherwise someone will definitely laugh at me later...

With a death wish, the temporary priestess unleashed her strongest attack once more—

"My hand burns like a blazing red fire, it shouts for me to seize victory, break through the formation, Southern Dipper White Heron Fist!"

"uh-huh?"

Seeing the Tengu girl with an inexplicably familiar demeanor, Yu Ran's expression suddenly changed, and she exclaimed in disbelief:
"Every day... Heavenly Overlord Wind God Kick?!?"
