Chapter 162 Battle Front
"The monsters...are here so quickly?"

The leader of the ninja group, Sako Ryusei, muttered blankly, looking towards the gray cloud in the sky.

Now, in the north, the half-human, half-owl monsters are called "Demon Wings". Their army is turning into a gray cloud, rapidly sweeping across the wilderness, heading towards the territory where Kurohime Mountain is located.

"There are a thousand of them, and most of them possess the power of great demons."

Master Songchong's eldest disciple, Jinyun Chengku, a man in black robes, used his "clairvoyance" and "spiritual vision" to observe.

"Furthermore, there are also thirty auras of fierce monsters mixed in. It's even possible that several high-level fierce monsters have appeared during this period..."

Jin Yun Cheng Ku is a pillar of the branch family, and his clairvoyance is well-known among the exorcists in the entire North.

"Thirty fierce monsters alone are enough to make people despair, not to mention several high-ranking fierce monsters."

Zuo Gu Longzheng muttered to himself, and then the young man's face showed a distressed expression and sighed.

"However, this is only a portion of the fierce god Kotankoro Kamui's forces, serving only as the vanguard. There are five more armies heading in this direction..."

"No one knows the location of the alien race's fierce god. If it is hiding in this vanguard army, we will be in real danger."

What Jinyun Chengku was most worried about was the whereabouts of the evil god Kotankoro Kamui, whose whereabouts were unknown.

To fight against the evil spirit with the combat power of the demon king level, the combat power of several super-class exorcists is needed. Although the Kurohimeshan clan can gather three super-class exorcists, namely the former head of the family, Mikaku, and Miyuki's two daughters, Kohagi and Kuzuka, the result of the actual fight is unpredictable.

Furthermore, with the wisdom of the evil god Kotankoro Kamui, he might even use the low-level demons under his command to consume the power of the super-class exorcist, and then try to attack the opponent when his strength is greatly depleted - this kind of tactics was also quite common during the period of the Five Demon Kings.

"Any intelligent youkai should not be underestimated. They, too, will use their brains to cope with situations..."

Zuo Gu Longzheng also knew this clearly and would not underestimate the army composed of demons.

In fact, without support from the imperial court and relying only on the strength of the exorcists in the north, no one had much hope for this war between humans and demons.

Of course, the Kurohime Yama family also asked for help from the imperial court, but until now, there has been controversy within the imperial court over whether to send a large army to provide support.

"The people at the Kyoto court are really stupid."

Cheng Ku squeezed out a voice in anger.

"If the north is conquered and the power of the Kurohimeyama family is lost, the evil god Kotankoro Kamui will devour all the energy in the spiritual veins and immediately march south. Wouldn't that mean the imperial court will be courting its own destruction?"

"Yes, but," Sako Ryusei also explained, "the court must have its own considerations. You know, there are many people in the court who are wary of our Kurohime family's dominance in Mutsu..."

The imperial court has always been wary of the famous exorcist families in various places, these local powerful families, and is always considering weakening these local forces.

The evil god Kotankoro Kamui attacked and completely defeated the Kurohimeyama clan. Some people in the court might celebrate and applaud.

"Politics, it's really disgusting, isn't it?"

After hearing what he said, Cheng Ku couldn't help but spit.

"Okay, don't say these things carelessly."

Long Zheng interrupted him while thinking in his mind.

"However, the situation within the clan is not particularly good. The incident with the head of the clan, Lord Miyuki, was a blow to us. Fortunately, the news did not spread."

On the other hand, the fact that Miyuki was arrested was concealed by the former head of the family, Mikado. Now, the head of the family, Miyuki, is temporarily unwell and is temporarily absent from the family. Mikado and Kohagi are in charge of family affairs instead to cover up the secret of the family infighting.

"It's just a place where people gather, so it's inevitable that such intrigue will occur. It's really helpless."

Long Zheng sighed inwardly. At the same time he was conversing with his friend Cheng Ku, the demon-winged army had already closed the distance, attempting to intrude upon the Heijishan clan's airspace.

"Celestial Command, Sky-controlling Barrier...activate!!!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice spoke.

All the exorcists present could hear a strange sound, which was the sound of the barrier being activated.

In the area centered on the territory of the Kurohimeyama clan, dust-like light flickered, and a huge barrier was activated!
This is a huge barrier that radiates outward in a spherical shape around the center of the territory. The barrier itself produces some special effects.

In an instant, the army of demon wings flying in the air fell from the sky like out-of-control bats.

At the same time, a figure floated in the air. It was the figure of Kurohimeyama Mikaku. She was petite and slender, and was wrapped in a spherical barrier.

"Hehehe... Rushing forward without considering anything is not a good thing."

She covered her mouth with her sleeve and laughed.

"Birds, being able to fly is a good thing, but it also has a weakness... A demon that can fly in the air, when it lands on the ground, naturally, its advantage will turn into a disadvantage."

At this moment, the Demon Wing Army fell completely into the position prepared by their own side.

As soon as these half-human, half-owl monsters landed on the ground, several human figures quickly emerged from the ground.

"Kill!"

They were exorcists hiding in dug holes in the ground, using woven straw for cover.

These people are not exorcists from the main family, but are from surrounding areas, hired by the Kurohimeyama family for a large sum of money, or are exorcists from other families.

The Demon Wing army attacked several famous families of demon exorcists in succession, resulting in heavy casualties. Several families were physically eliminated from the clan, and the survivors were either recruited by the Kurohimeyama family or chose to join the battlefield for revenge.

Most of them were demon-slaying swordsmen skilled in close combat, charging headfirst into these monsters. Some members of the demon-wing army also fell into pits covered with spikes.

In an instant, the roars of the demon-winged army and the shouts of humans rose one after another. Swords and spears drew bright trajectories in the air, and the demons used their claws, fangs and wings to create bursts of bloody rain.

The dirty black and bright red blood of the demons were spilled together, dyeing the earth red, and the evil spirit symbolizing the death of the demons polluted the atmosphere.

This is the first line of defense of Kurohimeyama Castle. At the beginning, the human demon-slaying swordsmen had the upper hand, but the number of monsters reversed the situation. The demon-slaying swordsmen quickly retreated, bypassing the traps and fortifications, and hid behind the second line of defense composed of planks and wooden fences.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…!
A torrential rain of arrows shot from behind the second line of defense, and some magicians concentrated their energy and released various explosions, lightning strikes and fire spells.

The army of demon wings that fell to the ground had no time to react before they were torn to pieces by a series of attacks.

Several upper-level evil monsters were huge in size, and they quickly made countermeasures. One of them was a tall three-headed strange bird, and strange patterns appeared on its body. It was a green demonic light, and the brightness became stronger and stronger. Then, dark green smoke spewed out from the three heads of this bird monster.

The surrounding traps, defensive fortifications, and the board walls and wooden fences covered with talismans were all blown away as if they had exploded.

The exorcists employed by the Kurohimeyama clan and several other famous families were of course not spared. One third of them died in the explosion.

Those who escaped the disaster faced an even crueler fate.

Black spots appeared on the skin, and the internal organs that inhaled the green smoke were corroded.

At this moment, all the members of the second line of defense, including the exorcists, servants, and ninja army members, showed painful expressions on their faces and fell to the ground.

At this moment, many people even had their clothes and protective gear corroded. The power of this poisonous smoke was extraordinary.
