From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 287 The Mysterious Instruments of Yin and Yang
"You? Clean us up? Hahahahahaha!" The two impoverished members of the Kurahashi family laughed with utter unbridled arrogance!
It's no wonder they were laughing like that, because they had a lot of interactions with each other. They were family members who went to school and lived together since they were young, but back then, the family hadn't fallen into decline.

But even then, the two strong men had already started bullying Kurahashi Seiji, who lived a simple life in the family temple and was not very strong.

They were bullied almost all the way until high school, when they were finally separated because of Kurahashi Seiji's excellent academic performance.

The two went to a vocational school with few students, while Kurahashi Seiji was able to attend the best high school, and even got into Waseda University.

This was also the root cause of their discord with Seiji Kurahashi. If your playmate is someone else's child, you will definitely bear immense pressure, without a doubt!
This childhood resentment, by this point in time, had transformed into a terrible malice, at least that's how it appeared to these two people!
They looked at this place, which hadn't changed in over twenty years, and saw that their gazes still held "pity" and "mockery," and they felt a surge of anger!

Why does someone like Seiji Kurahashi exist in this world? He is outstanding, calm, and indifferent, possessing the most peaceful temperament and the most beloved abilities of his elders—he is practically their childhood nightmare!

The two men exchanged a glance, then drew their knives, their eyes filled with immense pleasure and satisfaction!
Today, they are finally saying goodbye to their childhood nightmares!
Coincidentally, after a night of training, Kurahashi Seiji needed a setting to test his extraordinary power, and this situation seemed perfect!
He unfolded his portable wooden fan and pointed the fan ribs at the two men's knives.

With a "ding," the wooden fan easily blocked the slashes of the two knives and even pushed the two people away with another parry!

"I'm giving you one last chance. Put down your weapons now, and I might spare your lives for the sake of our ancestors, and send you to the police station!" Kurahashi Seiji said in a deep voice, but this only provoked an even more frenzied attack from the two men!

Neither of them had studied combat, so the current battle looked rather exaggerated. Two people were slashing wildly, while the other was struggling to hold on with a fan, yet he always managed to block the other's attacks, which seemed extremely strange.

However, their attacks did not last long. As Kurahashi Seiji became more skilled in combat, he gradually gained control of the situation.

So he took out a paper figure—his greatest masterpiece of the night, aside from cultivating his spiritual power!
Then, just as the two men were about to attack him again, Kurahashi Seiji used the edge of his fan to cut his thumb, letting the blood drip onto the paper doll!

The next second, just before the two knives were about to strike, he handed over the paper figure and shouted:

"Paper servant! Bearing the calamity of the blade!"

Upon hearing this, both attackers laughed. "You really think the Yin-Yang arts passed down in your family are the real thing? That's all just a way to fool those ignorant people. Die!"

The next second, the two knives struck the paper figure at the same time, but the ecstasy on the faces of the two people suddenly disappeared!

Because they didn't manage to hit Kurahashi Seiji; instead, at the moment of impact, they felt as if their flesh had been pierced!
But their knives just barely touched the paper figure's body! How could this be...?

"Clang!" A crisp metallic clang snapped the two out of their daze, and the astonishment in their eyes intensified once more!
Because the knives in their hands suddenly broke at the same time!
The sound of the blade falling to the ground left the two of them momentarily at a loss.

The rust on the hilt seemed like a silent mockery, ridiculing them.

To their astonishment, the Yin-Yang technique they had previously discarded had actually worked, and it had been applied to them!

"This...how is this possible?" The two couldn't accept it, shouting and screaming in a fit of rage, staring intently at the man before them. "The Yin-Yang technique that generations have failed to master, and you've succeeded?"

"Under the blessing of the ancestor Seimei, I have succeeded!" Kurahashi Seiji still maintained that indifferent and elegant demeanor that they disliked, but this time, the two of them did not react much.

This time, the opponent truly possesses immense power, and accompanying this power is an even stronger mind!

Seiji Kurahashi, holding his fan, pointed at the two men again, "You have one last chance: surrender and turn yourselves in to the police station!"

Hearing this, the two exchanged a glance. "It's come to this point, and you're still telling us to turn back? There's no turning back now, Kiyotsu. After we killed the old bastard in the family and took over the family fortune, there was no turning back!"

As they spoke, they pulled out two daggers from their pockets and walked towards Kurahashi Seiji again!

"Originally, we just wanted to pay off our debts, but now it seems that we might be able to obtain the true inheritance of the Onmyoji, become extraordinary beings in this country, and settle accounts with those loan shark gangs!"

"Hand over your training manual and these Onmyoji items, and we'll leave!"

Looking at his two cousins, who were completely controlled by their desires, Kurahashi Seiji shook his head helplessly. No wonder they had ruined the family like this. Foolish and unrepentant, they deserved it! Thinking this, he no longer hesitated and unfolded the painted fan in his hand. The twelve fan ribs corresponded to the power of the twelve generals, and what he murmured was the legendary "Wisteria Binding Shadow - Reverse Blade Sealing Technique"!
"Those who oppose me will fall into the net of worldly affairs, and if they go any further, they will fall into the abyss of their own evil thoughts!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The two men pounced on them again. They had already reached a dead end and didn't even have a chance to regret it!

Kurahashi Seiji took seven steps back, avoiding their attack, and landed on Suzaku. He unfolded his fan and released a stream of pure energy, saying, "Those afflicted by the curse will have their sleeves wrapped in poisonous vines and their shoes slumped in mud!"

The next second, the two felt a slowing effect under their feet. The stone ground felt like a wet, muddy road after a rain, sticking them to the spot.

At that moment, two purple poisonous vines grew from the ground beneath their feet, wrapping around their wrists and locking them completely in place!

This was still not the end. With the two bound, Kurahashi Seiji took out the "Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection" from his pocket and began to read it. "Let me see, what is the Xuan Yi for punishing the disrespectful..."

This method of even referring to ancient books to deal with them, for some reason, sent chills down their spines!
Only then did the completely suppressed rationality regain control of the brain.

"Seiji, we were just joking with you, and you were joking with us too, right?"

"Yes, yes, we didn't mean to hurt you! It was just a joke! Please let us go?"

Looking at their almost fawning words, Kurahashi Seiji shook his head in disgust and waved his hand, "I've already given you two chances. It's not that I'm unwilling to let you off the hook, but it's just that you're too stubborn!"

"Besides, I'll let you off the hook today, and I'll let you off the hook tomorrow... What? Do you think I'm a horse herder?"

His mocking tone made the two realize that the man before them was not someone detached from worldly affairs after all; his indifference and tranquility had their limits, and they had already reached them.

Therefore, under the somewhat terrifying gazes of the two newly awakened madmen, Kurahashi Seiji slowly raised his hand and murmured peculiar words:
"The moon's essence is a rope that binds your Yongquan acupoint."

"Golden essence transforms into ice, sealing your Lao Gong meridians"

This is still a saying from "The Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection". The meaning is very simple: use the power of heaven and earth to seal their consciousness and body, so that they can only suffer in place and cannot make any progress!

Terrifying golden light spots also emerged from his fingertips, transforming into the most real and authentic lava imprints, which were then placed on the shoulders of the two people!
Those were two distinctive star-shaped scars, incredibly conspicuous on the body!
"I will spare your lives now—"

Not because of benevolence
You are hereby appointed as a 'living talisman' to warn the world:

The scars on his arms were piercingly cold, even in sunshine and rain!
On the anniversary of the death of the one whose tongue is covered in ice-like frost, we wept blood!

This is the eternal law of eclipse in the Yin-Yang principle!

The young Onmyoji said indifferently, "This kind of forgiveness is not mercy, but a cruel punishment!"

Next, whenever it was sunny or rainy, they would feel an excruciating pain as if ants were crawling on them, and of course, their tongues would freeze and bleed!

"This is your punishment. Go and pray for the ancestor Seimei. When you truly and sincerely atone for your sins, I may allow you to die!"

The young man turned and went into the room, leaving behind two figures trembling and contorted in pain!

……

"Xiaoze, did you get a picture? Did you get a picture?"

"Mr. Fujita, I got a picture! This is...this is an Onmyoji!"

Two voices, one of surprise and the other of delight, emanated from the attic nearby, though suppressed.
Kurahashi Seiji was only a first-time Onmyoji, and he had no idea that his entire performance had been clearly filmed by the two people hiding here!
