I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 211 A Hundred Ghosts in the Tunnel, Sweeped Away by One Man! The Powerful Effect of the "Lin" Technique! Controlling the Sword with Qi, Unrivaled Mowing Down of Grass!
Three minutes ago, Jundong County Tunnel.

In the secluded and deep mountain forest, in an instant, a huge amount of powerful demonic energy rushed out from this dark tunnel that had been abandoned for who knows how many years.

Resentment, hatred, unwillingness...

However, in the blink of an eye, the tunnel entrance, which had almost been cleared out by the special affairs officers, was filled again with those vengeful spirits and undead.

The quantity is greater than ever before.

"How much longer until Uesugi-kun arrives!"

He said, "I'll be there soon!"

After responding and responding, Yagyu Akira, whose consciousness was so blurred that he could barely stand, gripped the trembling katana in his hand and raised it again.

Some of the Special Affairs Department agents around them had fallen into a coma due to the complex mental attacks, some had already exhausted all their spiritual power, and some had even lost too much blood and were on the verge of death.

Embarrassed.

Only two or three operators still retain a minimum level of combat capability.

They had been battling for far too long in front of this tunnel, which should have been cleared in half an hour.

No one anticipated that such a simple task, which involved overwhelming numbers of people, would suddenly undergo such a drastic change.

"Thanks to Tamamo's foresight..."

The dojo successor of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu Shizuoka Prefecture branch glanced sideways and saw the girl standing in the absolutely safe rear, protected even now by several barriers.

"Calling the mercenaries over sooner will just give us more security and manpower, and someone will reimburse us anyway!"

——That’s what she said.

The petite girl known as "Tamamo" was wearing a yellow safety helmet like those worn by elementary school students. She paced back and forth within the barrier, looking somewhat uneasy.

She was holding her phone tightly, not telling Yagyu Chi that this was the fourth time Uesugi Tetsu had replied "I'll be there soon"!

Before that, the earliest "I'll be there soon" message could be traced back to twenty minutes earlier!

At that time, the anomaly in the tunnel had only just begun.

Tamamo gazed at the chaotic situation before her and the endless stream of resentment emanating from the tunnel.

She cupped her hands around a megaphone and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yagyu! Retreat! We really can't hold on any longer!"

"If you die now, you'll have nothing left!"

"—If we retreat now, all these demons and monsters will come out!"

Yagyu Akira retorted hoarsely, "What about the citizens of Numazu City?!"

He took a deep breath, straining so hard that blood spurted from the tiny wounds on his body, and then roared.
"Hold on! Even if it means death! Hold on until Uesugi-kun arrives!"

Having said that, he took the lead and charged towards those mindless, extremely weak souls that had surged out in hundreds or thousands along with the earlier disturbance.

The intense energy erupted, melting away the hordes of dead souls like sunlight melting snowflakes.

But it’s a drop in the bucket.

Another seriously wounded operator was dragged into the barrier. Tamamo, who was skillfully bandaging him, cursed loudly in a Kansai accent.

"Damn it, that stubborn Yagyu..."

At this rate, we'll all be turned into live stakes and driven into the tunnels, and eighteen years later, it'll be our turn to be killed!

After quickly bandaging the wound, Tamamo took out a small scroll containing a healing Yin-Yang technique from her backpack and tore it open on the operator who was breathing heavily.

In the emerald green light, Tamamo stared resentfully at her phone, which remained silent.

With nothing else to do, Tamamo, being an ordinary person, could only grip her specially made phone, preparing to reply to any message as quickly as possible.
"Damn it, are we going to pin all our hopes for survival on a foreign aid? ...The other side isn't some kind of god."

"It's just a three-star player, about the same level as you. Don't just blindly trust them like that..."

At this moment, the spiritual power of one of the two remaining Onmyoji in front of them was finally exhausted.

The surging wall of fire vanished suddenly, allowing the souls of the dead in that area to surge forward like waves, jostling each other and using their hands and feet to rush over.

In an instant, the already precarious defense line collapsed completely, engulfing Yagyu Chi, who was at the forefront.

Tamamo was extremely anxious.

But if she rushed up, she would definitely be torn to shreds in just two seconds!

Forget about becoming a live stake, it doesn't even qualify to be used as a side dish!
She could only watch helplessly as the tide of the dead surged... no, it was far more than just the dead.

After that, the "black handprint that keeps getting bigger and bigger" from the Numazu City ghost stories, the "ghost that turned into a traffic light", and the distorted faces that appeared on the concrete ground all came out in droves!

Unable to even release a fireball, Tamamo could only watch helplessly as her colleagues outside the barrier were devoured by the demons.

She asked Uesugi Tetsuya again when he would arrive.

But this time there was no reply.

Tamamo hung her head dejectedly, opening her mouth in despair: "What, you're not even giving me a sliver of hope...?"

She looked up and silently gazed at the demons who had already surrounded the barrier layer by layer, and who could tear her and her colleagues inside the barrier to shreds in a few dozen seconds.

"Damn it, so what if he's dead... whatever..."

Tamamo gritted her teeth and pulled a small black ball with a skull printed on it from her backpack: "I'm going to blow you up!"

But then, her phone suddenly vibrated.

Her professional skills, honed over time, made Tamamo instinctively look at her phone, where she happened to see that unfamiliar message.

Look up

So she raised her head.

Boom!

The pale, cold lightning bolts fell straight down to the ground, following the moonlight.

Thunderous spray flew like rain.

In the blink of an eye, countless souls and faces evaporated and vanished like cut straw, and heart-wrenching screams filled her ears.

But that's far from all.

Because there wasn't just one bolt of lightning, but several, even a dozen!

Thunder roared and thunderclaped, leaving even the most lurking demons and monsters hidden in the deepest darkness of the mountains and forests nowhere to hide.

It's like a punishment from heaven!

"Huh...?"

coincidence?

Tamamo blinked and looked around at the now empty surroundings, confirming that what she had just seen was not an illusion.

what is that?
The weather forecast didn't say there would be thunder here today, and it hasn't rained either.
Saying.

Could it be that some mountain god who controls thunder has inexplicably awakened?
Just a moment before she was about to detonate the small black ball in her hand, blasting him to smithereens, Tamamo thought blankly.

In her eyes, after these sudden flashes of lightning, another slender phantom cleaved the sky above the silver moon.

It's a... knife?

Tamamo was stunned.

How could a knife appear in the sky by itself?

Enveloped in the pale white of decay and the pure black of plague, the blade fell with the pull of gravity, plunging straight and diagonally into the barrier before Tamamo's eyes.

"You... are safe... now."

She could hear the incredibly beautiful katana outside the barrier speaking to her.

Tamamo felt she must be going crazy.

Presumably, all of this was just a hallucination in the last moment before death.

Otherwise, how could there be so many lightning strikes for no reason, and how could a knife possibly speak?

But no matter what Tamamo thought, the pale domain shrouded in black had already unfolded the moment Kaga Kiyomitsu pierced the ground and was surging wildly in all directions.

The moment the mindless souls came into contact with the pale color, they were all dissolved without any hindrance.

Pure quantity is meaningless in the face of the sorrow of separation.

The remaining demons and monsters also howled and retreated, allowing Yagyu Akira and the others who had been surrounded to reappear before Tamamo's eyes.

With the tip of his sword pointing downwards, Yagyu Akira used the sword to support his body and laboriously turned his gaze backwards.

"It's not... an illusion?"

"The disparity in combat strength between the enemy and ourselves is so great. If I had arrived a minute later, you would have been completely wiped out."

A fair yet strong hand gripped the delicate hilt of the knife and pulled it firmly from the ground.

Tamamo shook her head and sighed when she saw the man in the casual shirt in front of her: "The head of the Shizuoka Prefecture Special Affairs Bureau is too inflexible."

—Transforming into a four-tailed fox and then using the Thousand Faces technique to become human, Uesugi Tetsu turned his gaze away from the 1.4-meter-tall elementary school student and walked towards the tunnel.

The grinning Hannya mask swayed at his waist, mingling with the soft tinkling of copper bells.

With no supernatural beings around, Uesugi Tetsuya, disguised as a four-tailed fox, wasn't afraid of being recognized.

Before long, he arrived at the front, his body swaying precariously, yet he still tried to support himself beside Yagyu Akira: "Are you Yagyu-kun?"

Before the latter could even open his mouth to answer with difficulty, Uesugi Tetsuya saw it from his eyes.

"Beef beer."

Uesugi Tetsu gave the other person a thumbs up—to dare to stand so far ahead in this situation clearly meant that only one of him and the demons in the tunnel could survive.

This person is truly ruthless.

"Uesugi..."

"Stop talking and hold your breath."

Uesugi Tetsu glanced at Yagyu Chi, whose entire body was drained of its internal energy and could no longer maintain its circulation: "From now on, just go to the back and keep an eye on things."

He shook the copper bell, and had the komainu hatamoto carry the struggling Yagyu Toki to the side of the barrier.

Uesugi Tetsu turned back to look at the countless demons and monsters that had been forced back to the tunnel entrance by the ghostly aura and pale domain of the Hannya mask.

He scoffed lightly.
"A bunch of lackeys."

In Uesugi Tetsu's eyes, the vast majority of the prompts were sporadic or half-star, and even one-star prompts were extremely rare.

Perfect, I'll use them to test out the new moves I just learned from the nameless swordsman...

Just as he was thinking this, Uesugi Tetsuya paused, remembering that the Mumei Sword seemed to be a single-target attack.

At least, for someone who had just mastered the Sword of No Name, it was still considered so.

He raised an eyebrow noncommittally, silently activating the "Lin" technique in his mind to strengthen himself—this was a new move he had just learned and hadn't seen its effects yet.

A faint silver light shimmered on the back of his right hand.

Uesugi Tetsu's pupils shrank slightly.

It's not because the effect is too weak, but because...

too strong!
The moment the Lin Word Technique was activated, Uesugi Tetsuya could feel a surge of power flowing through his body, which also brought his mental clarity to a new level.

If you check the attribute panel, you will find that both the physique and willpower attributes increased by a full ten points at that moment!

It's totally unreasonable.

It's important to understand that raising his already high attributes by another ten points is now significantly more difficult than it was at the beginning.

"So this is the Great Yin-Yang Technique...?"

Uesugi Tetsu twisted his neck and grinned at the now quiet Hyakki at the tunnel entrance: "You guys are really unlucky."

He plucked a string in his heart.

"Xiao Jia, try that one."

"Yes, yes!"

Uesugi Tetsu opened his palms, using only his inner energy to envelop Kaga Kiyomitsu's tail.

The protective aura lifted Kaga Kiyomitsu, causing it to float precariously in mid-air.

That's right, what he's going to try now is—

Controlling the sword with qi!

The demons before them were all intimidated by the ghostly aura emanating from the Prajna mask and dared not move.

They are numerous, have many targets, and are very weak... Kaga Kiyomitsu could pierce through countless demons with a single dash.

Where could there be a better opportunity to try than now?
Uesugi Tetsu calmed his mind and focused all his attention on the part of the qi that was connected to the hilt of Kaga Kiyomitsu's sword.

He shouted,
"go with!"

As his internal energy rapidly depleted, Kaga Kiyomitsu vanished from his spot, leaving a visible shockwave in mid-air.

In just a few moments, a pale, straight road was cleared from the tunnel entrance, leading directly into the deep, dark interior.

The demons who died as a result couldn't even let out a scream.

Uesugi Tetsuya couldn't help but smile as he watched the Soul Points on the panel rapidly increasing.

—This method is indeed feasible!
Faced with hordes of weak demons, Uesugi Tetsu naturally wanted to convert them into Kaga Kiyomitsu's soul points.

But if you were to hold the small cleaver and chop it down piece by piece, it would be too slow.

The problem has now been solved.

The sheer number of creatures, which would be a major problem for ordinary people, and the extraordinary vitality of demons and monsters, were nothing to Uesugi Tetsuya.

Kaga Kiyomitsu's blade was swirling with four deadly debuffs, which would double if you included the plague, making it eight.

This strike was nothing short of death's scythe for the weak demons.

As for consumption?
What Uesugi Tetsuya fears least is a war of attrition.

The internal energy was supported by the vast, empty sea of ​​qi that had already formed within the body, and the spiritual power was constantly being absorbed and absorbed by the spirit control technique.

He became increasingly adept at manipulating Kaga Kiyomitsu, who was enjoying himself more and more.

It rampaged through the chaotic horde of demons, as if playing some kind of hack-and-slash game with cheat codes.

In just a few minutes, the mountain forest, which had been shrouded in a thick atmosphere of resentment, was transformed.

Only in the very center of the tunnel remained a demon with three enormous scarlet eyes, standing there looking around in confusion; otherwise, it was entirely black.

【——Three-Eyed Demon (Two and a Half Stars)】

Uesugi Tetsu gave a strange "oh" and made Kaga Kiyomitsu return to his back.

What kind of demon is this?
The juvenile, incomplete form of Hyakume-ki?

In short, this "three-eyed demon" is the most powerful of all the demons at the tunnel entrance.

"Anyway, a demon with eyes is a good demon."

Uesugi Tetsu gave a kind smile.

He stood there, dozens of meters away, and gestured towards the three eyes that were staring intently at him.

Click.

The three-eyed demon froze as it slowly retreated.

An invisible and intangible sword light suddenly burst forth within its body, meticulously slicing everything except its eyeballs into minced meat.

Precise and elegant.

Natural Rinnegan-ryu Secret Technique: Sword of No Ignorance - Concealment!
For a moment, Uesugi Tetsu's mind was clouded. Seeing this, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This profound mystery is truly something else."

He cast his gaze again into the dark tunnel, where countless subtle noises still emanated.

Since the Three-Eyed Demon appeared at the tunnel entrance, there must be other demons of the same family, such as the Five-Eyed Demon and the Ten-Eyed Demon, but even more powerful ones, deep inside.

Full of anticipation, Uesugi Tetsuya was about to clear all the accumulated notifications when his gaze stopped on a pop-up item notification.

"This thing... is pretty good."

Within the barrier behind.

The Shizuoka Prefecture Special Affairs Bureau agents, still awake, stared in shock at the figure standing not far away.

With just one person, he exorcised all the demons in the tunnel and forest...

Not many people would believe this if I told them.

"This mercenary is too strong! When did those guys in the HR department, who just sit on their fixed salaries and live off their retirement, start doing real work?!"

Tamamo was dumbfounded: "Chopping melons and vegetables is one thing, but to be completely unharmed... Is this older brother, Uesugi Tetsu, really a three-star like you, Yagyu?"

"and many more."

She suddenly realized something.
"After we take down the Shizuoka Prefecture champion, won't we be facing this monster directly in the seeding match?!"

Tamamo covered her head with both hands, looked up to the sky and howled, letting out a painful scream in the Kansai dialect:
"Then what's the point of playing ball?"
