Thick demonic horns grow on his forehead, and his powerful demonic aura changes the color of the sky and earth. The knife scars that line his strong body are, in fact, his unspoken battle trophies.
On the front of his robe was embroidered a golden pattern resembling a whirlwind, which was presumably the emblem representing Mount Suzuka.
This is undoubtedly the strongest monster he has ever faced!
Even Queen Himiko of Sunwheel City might be a level weaker.
After all, the former was the true lord of demons who had received the recognition of the sacred artifact, the Yasakani no Magatama.
But so what?
Huang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he responded at the same time:
"Do something?"
"Just like what you tried to do to my shikigami."
"how?"
"Didn't Suzuka Gozen teach you the meaning of 'Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you'?"
The sharp, confrontational words caused Ōtakemaru to catch his breath.
Indeed, since they chose to invade the land first, it's unreasonable to criticize the other side for retaliating.
However, what truly stirred his heart was the name the other party mentioned!
Suzuka Gozen, the true master of Mount Suzuka.
This is also the person he has been waiting for!
"You know her?"
Do you know where she is now?
Ōtakemaru pressed on, his breathing, which had been paused, not calming down but becoming even more erratic—a state even more unstable than when he fought his old friend!
After all, the whereabouts of the former were more of a concern than conquering Heian-kyo.
Moreover, if she were in Suzuka Mountain, she would definitely have a better way to resolve this matter.
Do you think I would tell you all this given our current relationship?
"Just as that person said, you will always be a child who never grows up."
Ara naturally did not answer Ōtakemaru's question, because this was his last and final bargaining chip.
Upon hearing this, Ōtakemaru clenched his fist.
However, even though the words were sarcastic, he did not immediately become angry, but instead suppressed his emotions and questioned:
"If it weren't for Kyoto's greed, using the magic array to absorb the spiritual energy of Suzuka Mountain, leaving my clan with no place to survive and live, why would I have led my people here to punish them?!"
The spiritual energy has vanished, the island is filled with miasma, the true master has gone out and not returned, and the island's inhabitants are becoming increasingly weak, even facing the danger of death and extinction. This is the fundamental reason why Suzuka Mountain restarted the ghost ship and led a huge sea race to attack Heian-kyo.
They want to seize the spiritual energy of Kyoto and give it back to Mount Suzuka.
Ōtakemaru's questioning was generous and indignant.
When the topic was mentioned, the conclusion that already existed in his mind, "human greed is endless," surged wildly, causing the demonic power around him to become extremely violent.
Even Haiming, whom he was standing on, felt a strange sense of panic and unease.
The reason he could refrain from killing any humans in his field of vision was because they likely possessed information about that person's whereabouts.
"Young Master, there's no point in saying more; he's just stalling for time to wait for reinforcements from Heian-kyo to arrive!"
"Humans are cunning, treacherous, and greedy. Young Master, you must not be influenced by their words."
Before Huang could say anything, Haiming, who had gradually stabilized his aura, impatiently stepped in and roared in a low voice, filled with grief and indignation.
If the communication continues in depth, his plans and schemes will collapse.
Even without that layer of vague power interference,
But now that things have come to this, there is no way out for them!
The crisis at Suzuka Mountain was beyond saving. The idea of using Kyoto's spiritual energy to restore his former home to its original state was a lie he fabricated to incite Ōtakemaru to start a war.
At present, there is only one way for the people of Suzuka Mountain to continue to survive.
Let Heian-kyo become the second Suzuka Mountain!
Thinking of this, Hai Ming's aged, demonic eyes grew even more sinister.
"Little Lord,"
"Just now, I sensed a familiar aura among the land monsters."
"I initially thought it was a former acquaintance, but I never expected that the owner of that aura was actually fighting Kyūjīra!"
"When I examined it closely, I discovered that it was the aura of a sea ninja!!"
"Young Master, it seems that Hai Ren is the shikigami sent by this despicable human!"
"He must have obtained the information about Lady Suzuka Gozen through the mouth of the sea ninja."
"Therefore, mentioning Lady Suzuka's name must be a delaying tactic to create confusion; he has no idea where Lady Suzuka is!"
"Don't be fooled by these despicable humans!!"
Hai Ming spoke with great emotion, his face almost etched with the idea that killing the human in front of him would achieve a perfect ending.
Faced with such sorrowful words and the testimony of Hai Ren's past misdeeds, Ōtakemaru accepted this statement without much thought.
After all, the former was his teacher, his family, and someone who would never lie to him!
But the humans in front of us are different.
He is the master of that traitor Hai Ren, and also the villain who almost killed his own teacher!
"I've long heard of the despicable nature of humanity, and seeing it today confirms it."
"Let me see if your strength matches your despicable methods!!"
After the words fell,
Ootakemaru then leaped down from the giant sea monster that was tens of meters high. The demonic power he released caused the Yasakani no Magatama to trail a series of golden rays in the void.
"Your opponent is me, Ōtakemaru!!"
During this time, the Lord of Arakawa, riding on a giant fish, arrived.
Even though he was covered in wounds and his demonic power had greatly diminished, he did not give up the fight.
Instead, they wanted to draw their nemesis's attention to themselves.
However, at this moment, Ōtakemaru could no longer hold onto those old acquaintances who were merely at the end of their rope.
All their attention was focused on that despicable human.
And Ara, who was targeted by the great demon, naturally had no chance of escape.
As for rebuttal
He disdained it!
The only way to survive right now is...
It's war!
A crimson six-bladed windmill spun wildly within his eye sockets, its grotesque veins almost completely destroying his handsome face, while the horizontal sword he gripped tightly was now stained with a layer of deep, dark flames.
[Nichirin Blade - Included!]
"Alright,"
"Then let me see the aura of the deep-sea monster!!"
Chapter 677 The Stalemate: Who is Being Controlled?
"boom!"
Water strikes three thousand,
A towering column of water erupted from the sea surface struck by the Yasakani no Magatama.
"what?"
"You despicable human, is all you can do is sneak around like a rat!"
Concerned about the missed attack caused by the disappearance of the prey, Ōtakemaru's already pent-up resentment led him to unleash a contemptuous sneer.
However, the instant he finished speaking, he once again shot off like an arrow, choosing a direction and rushing forward.
His powerful demonic energy allowed him to cover the entire area under his control, and no slightest energy fluctuation could escape his senses.
However, the result was the same regardless of the order.
A towering column of water shot up, and the cunning prey once again vanished from sight like a rabbit.
Facing Ōtakemaru, who wields the offensive artifact Yasakani no Magatama, Ara was unwilling to engage in a direct confrontation from the outset.
Because he was worried that his weapon would shatter due to the intense collision between the two.
Even with the toughness of a Nichirin Blade, it still lacked this confidence.
And, in another sense.
The most valuable thing is to compete with a master whose foundation and physique are superior to your own, to use your own advantages to maneuver, and then to find the opponent's weaknesses and flaws!
Huang's advantage, naturally, lies in his eye.
An eye that can see through all illusions and discern all martial arts attacks!
In these two short bursts of attacks, he was already able to discern some clues about the opponent's offensive:
Its power is immense and its swordsmanship fierce.
"Get out of the way, Master of Arakawa."
“Now, his target is me. You should have more important things to do.”
Similarly, instead of directly responding to the provocation from Ōtakemaru, Ara reminded Arakawa no Kami, who had been eager to join the battle, to drive out all the sea monsters invading Arakawa.
After all, although Haiming had shown signs of decline under his attacks, this decline seemed to have been contained and even showed signs of gradually recovering.
