It's such a beautiful scene to think about. The thought of having adorable little nephews or nieces in the future is both exciting and touching.

Yuan Zhisheng's auntie smile grew brighter and brighter.

However, there was also a beaming smile from the very top of the Sky Tree, where a pitch-black airship hovered. To be precise, it had been hovering there for a long time, waiting for its target to appear.

On the dark airship, the figure in the phoenix coronet and wedding gown was absolutely stunning. At first glance, she resembled a peerless imperial concubine who had stepped out of ancient times, captivating both the city and the nation.

If any of the Fierce Ghosts were here, they would surely recognize this figure as their Dragon King.

Ruri Kazama.

The reason the other side was mobilized was because of a major piece of news from the Snake Clan not long ago.

[The patriarch, Tachibana Masamune, was fatally wounded by a mysterious figure, and the new patriarch, Genji Chisei, is about to take over.]

This news was like a bombshell to the Ghost Clan.

At first, the leaders of the Fierce Ghost Clan thought it was just a rumor, an unrealistic piece of news.

Because the patriarch of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, Tachibana Masamune, is unpredictable, despite the fact that the Demon Clan has sent people to attack him both openly and secretly over the years, they have never succeeded and have never even had the chance to injure him.

Now, unexpectedly, he was nearly crippled by a mysterious person. No, to be precise, he was already crippled, and in a very tragic way. It is said that his entire body was shaved into a human stick. Moreover, the mysterious person seems to have a unique fondness for the cross of repentance, and even shaved Tachibana Masamune's body into a perfect cross skeleton, which was simply too gruesome to look at.

Although the other party is not completely dead yet and is currently undergoing comprehensive treatment under the meticulous protection of the Snake Clan, he is practically dead, with only his mental state continuing to suffer.

Therefore, the Snake-Headed Eight Families are currently leaderless. Although Genjiro is about to take over, he hasn't yet, and this still presents an opportunity for the Oni Clan to attack. However, this kind of blind attack is not the outcome the Oni Clan desires. Although Tachibana Masamune encountered an accident, it doesn't mean that the Snake-Headed Eight Families' defenses will suffer a major blunder. On the contrary, the Snake-Headed Eight Families' defenses are more formidable than ever before.

But there is one opportunity for the Demon Clan, and that is Lin Ye and Erii.

The status of these two in the Snake-Headed Eight Families is beyond question. Now, they have come to the Sky Tree for a romantic date during the storm. This is the perfect opportunity for the demons to strike. If they can capture the two of them, it will be equivalent to seizing the snake that is the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

Because all the intelligence reports suggest that Genjiro cares about these two people far more than Tachibana Masamune does.

Therefore, if they could capture Lin Ye and Erii, it would be equivalent to the Demon Clan obtaining two perfect hostages. At that time, no matter what conditions they negotiated or other aspects, the Snake Clan would be in a completely passive position.

The Demon Clan will hold absolute initiative, and this will be their opportunity. Currently, the Snake-Headed Eight Families are in turmoil due to the loss of their patriarch, Tachibana Masamune. Therefore, they will pursue a two-pronged approach, which is the Demon Clan's biggest opportunity to date.

If we can seize this opportunity, we can severely damage the Snake Clan.

Therefore, it wasn't just the elites of the Snake Clan who were lying in ambush here; members of the Demon Clan were also hiding in even more concealed locations.

However, because the storm was getting more and more intense, it was difficult to sense any other presences. Moreover, the members of the Ghost Clan were quite far from the Sky Tree, and they were still lying in wait for the order to attack.

The order to attack came from the sky, from the dark airship high in the sky.

They were all lurking in the darkness, and the moment that figure in a phoenix coronet and wedding robes appeared, it would be the signal for them to move out.

Now, looking down from their vantage point aboard the airship, the man smiled broadly as he saw the boys and girls embracing each other amidst the falling cherry blossoms. But that smile was also extremely bloodthirsty, sending chills down one's spine.

It was like a demon in the darkness letting out a hysterical, silent laugh, or like someone grinding their teeth and sucking blood, desperately wanting to devour two people.

At this moment, the evil spirit could no longer restrain itself.

He maneuvered the airship, causing it to plummet rapidly.

She jumped down from a height of more than 20 meters above Lin Ye and Erii's heads.

There was a loud clang.

The crimson blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, suddenly slashing out amidst the pale white lightning, instantly shattering the beautiful cherry blossoms into tiny fragments, transforming them into a crimson torrent.

With a cold laugh, Kazama Ruri slashed out with her long sword.

The target was clearly Lin Ye and Erii.

Almost instantly, Lin Ye's eyes turned extremely cold. Holding Erii in his arms, he quickly distanced himself from the crimson blade light.

Erii's eyes also turned icy cold, filled with an unparalleled storm of killing intent.

At this moment, it can be said that Kazama Ruri has been sentenced to death by Erii, and no matter what, she cannot leave Skytree alive.

However, just as Erii was about to activate her dragon bloodline and unleash the Word of Judgment, the golden lava in her beautiful eyes suddenly dimmed, and the powerful aura emanating from her body receded like a tide.

Erii is rapidly weakening.

This is not because her bloodline has fallen into disorder, but because it has been suppressed, as if it has been temporarily sealed away.

Lin Ye also narrowed his eyes slightly, as he suddenly thought of the cherry blossom rain that had just fallen.

Reaching out, he picked up a petal from Erii's shoulder, crushed it slightly, and sniffed it. He immediately noticed something amiss.

It seems that some kind of drug was mixed into the cherry blossom petals, which greatly suppressed Erii's own bloodline.

Erii's face turned pale.

That's because the sudden and excessive changes in the two powers during the bloodline eruption caused a disturbance, but overall it's not a big problem. It's just that she can no longer unleash that powerful judgment power as before.

"Lin Ye, I have no strength left."

Because her bloodline was suppressed, Erii was able to speak normally.

But her brows furrowed, indicating that she was quite depressed and worried about her own condition.

"Eri, you should rest. Leave this to me. I promised to protect you and our future. Isn't this the time to witness it?"

Lin Ye remained calm and offered words of comfort with a light laugh.

The boy's laughter gave Erii confidence, and the girl nodded.

"So good..."

Lin Ye patted Erii's head before stepping past her and standing in front of Kazama Ruri.

At that moment, Kazama Ruri also looked over. The two faced each other across the wind and rain, neither of them speaking first.

In fact, Lin Ye recognized Kazama Ruri almost the instant she appeared. There was probably no more stunning recognizability than this. Dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown, she was a force to be reckoned with. The other person was none other than Kazama Ruri, the predecessor of the woman.

The fact that this Dragon King of the Demon Clan has appeared here must be because the battle with the Snake-Headed Eight Families has already begun.

The other party was dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown, exuding a powerful aura. At first glance, she looked like Yang Guifei, who had returned from cultivating immortality, and was about to personally kill the emperor who had abandoned her.

In the past, Lin Ye might have felt terrified facing his opponent, because he knew how powerful Kazama Ruri was, after all, she was someone who had once wielded a sharp blade to cut down the Yamata no Orochi.

However, for Lin Ye now, he is no longer the inexperienced kid he used to be.

Especially after merging with the Demon Possession, he is, in a sense, a powerful pure-blooded dragon. If he were to unleash his full power, his strength would be comparable to that of a next-generation species.

While Kazama Ruri is very strong now, she is far from the madwoman she was in the Red Well. Therefore, if Lin Ye really goes all out now, he has a great chance of winning.

But he didn't want to risk his life.

In fact, Kazama Ruri is also a very tragic character. He is the younger brother of Genjiro, the younger brother of Genjiro, and also the older brother of Erii.

All of this was Herzog's conspiracy; it was the enemy's shadow warrior, King, who caused this tragedy.

So ultimately, Lin Ye didn't harbor any deep-seated hatred for Kazama Ruri, nor did he want to kill her. If this misunderstanding could be resolved, it would be a very advantageous factor for the Snake Clan, because their ultimate enemy is Herzog. Only by uniting the two major forces can they fight against this terrifying demon.

"Should I call you Kazama Ruri, or Genjiro?"

Lin Ye looked at the other person and asked in a low voice.

Kazama Ruri narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and said with some surprise, "You know me?"

"of course."

Lin Ye stood tall amidst the wind and rain.

Chapter 105 Brother-in-law, you really came at the right time!

The wind and rain howled, and cherry blossoms fluttered in the breeze.

Two figures stood facing each other on the Skyview Corridor, more than 600 meters above the ground.

Because Lin Ye and Erii's previous beautiful interaction had attracted everyone's attention, their appearance in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown also drew everyone's attention.

The elites of the Snake Clan felt a sense of solemnity upon seeing Kazama Ruri appear.

Because they are all highly pedigree hybrids, they can naturally sense the terrifying dragon bloodline within Kazama Ruri. Such a person, silently and stealthily lurking above the Sky Tree, certainly isn't here to bless the beautiful love between Lin Ye and Erii.

There must be some terrible conspiracy at play.

They are currently more than 600 meters away from the Sky Tree. If the other side suddenly attacks, they will definitely not be able to provide timely assistance.

Fortunately, both Erii and Lin Ye possess incredibly strong bloodlines. They will surely be able to hold out until they are given ample time to rescue them, and perhaps the guy who appeared will be killed by the two in the corridor.

After all, who would have thought to mess with these two? The sensible family members have already begun to 'mourn' for Kazama Ruri.

Genjiro also saw this scene, or rather, he was the first to react. He was now standing in the elevator leading to the Tenmoku Corridor.

Given the current power shortage and intermittent outages, it would take him about five or six minutes to reach the top floor, which is the only means of transportation he can use to get there.

After all, this is over 600 meters high, and even if we arranged a helicopter, it would be too late.

At this moment, the image of Kazama Ruri kept replaying in his mind. For some reason, this guy with a strange yet powerful aura made him feel as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Where is it?!

Yuan Zhisheng frowned. He didn't know, but he had great faith in this feeling, and once he had this feeling, it meant that he must have seen the other person somewhere before.

Genjiro felt a heavy weight in his heart. He knew Erii well; anyone who dared to disrupt her love plans at this time would inevitably face a fierce attack from the girl. And if we were to calculate the time, the battle on the Sky Tree's Tenbou Corridor had already begun, which meant that Erii had already erupted.

However, everything was quiet on the Tenmoku Corridor, which made Genji Shiki feel worried.

He couldn't help but smile wryly. This was the first time he had felt worried because Erii hadn't unleashed her power. So, no matter what, he had to rush over now.

At the same time, Genjiro also instructed Sakura to gather the family members present and be ready to provide support and rescue at any time.

Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst; the members here are the only source of life.

After doing all this, Genji stood in the elevator, holding the Spider Cutter, his expression turning extremely cold.

He vowed that whoever dared to harm Lin Ye and Erii would face his harshest judgment; he would pierce their heart and then crush it to pieces.

As the elevator ascended, two figures stood facing each other on the Skyward Corridor.

So, we know each other?

Yuan Zhinu gazed wistfully at Lin Ye ahead.

"It's a one-sided acquaintance; I know you, but you don't know me."

Lin Ye responded.

He couldn't help but scrutinize the person in front of him, Yuan Zhinu. This was the first time he had heard Yuan Zhinu's voice; it was somewhat cold, but very pleasant to hear.

If such a voice were to sing Kabuki, it would be no wonder that it would be so lifelike. And this is only the voice; the person's demeanor and mannerisms also possess an indescribable charm, with a captivating allure in their gaze and movements.
