These corpses are exactly the same.

Even Shuten-dōji, the Demon King of Mount Ōe, was shocked by what he saw.

Just then, a figure appeared behind the two ghosts.

"Evil spirits, have you seen enough?"

Upon hearing this, Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji turned around at the same time.

Standing at the doorway was the Onmyoji who had been lost earlier.

At this moment, he was looking at the two ghosts in front of him with a sinister smile.

But what Shuten-dōji cared about was not that smile, but his appearance.

How could it look so similar to those corpses?

Do not!

It cannot be said that they are similar.

They are exactly the same!

Shuten-dōji repeatedly checked the other person's appearance.

The other party, as if already aware of Shuten-dōji's thoughts, spoke up:

"No need to guess."

His gaze swept across the room.

"These are all me... just the imperfect me."

"You who are imperfect?"

Shuten-dōji looked warily at the onmyoji in front of him.

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

"Oh... I forgot to introduce myself."

The Onmyoji bowed to Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji.

"I am Ashiya Dōman."

"The most powerful Onmyoji in Heian-kyo".

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ibaraki-dōji's rebuttal came through.

"You are not the strongest Onmyoji."

"It is Lord Abe."

"Abe?"

The onmyoji who called himself Ashiya Dōman turned around and looked at Ibaraki-dōji, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"He's nothing but a piece of trash who's been active in Heian-kyo where I haven't even shown my face."

Shut your mouth!

"A Shuten-dōji's approval is beyond your censorship!"

Ibaraki-dōji charged straight at him.

It was clear that she really disliked what Ashiya Dōman had just said.

however--

Faced with the aggressive Ibaraki-dōji, Ashiya Dōman simply raised his hand and conjured a large earthen barrier out of thin air, sending her flying.

Shuten-dōji realized that the onmyoji in front of him could also manipulate the five elements.

Moreover, their strength is not weak.

The blasted-away Ibaraki-dōji rolled several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop after hitting a wooden wall.

"Ibaraki!" Shuten-dōji called out.

“No need to rush to shout.” Ashiya Doman sneered. “You’ll soon be lying there just like her.”

"Then--"

“You will become a stronger version of me in this room.”

"..."

Plop, plop.

Realizing this was the enemy's Shuten-dōji, his heart began to pound violently.

Flames began to erupt from her body—a manifestation of her releasing her magic.

In an instant, the Demon King of Mount Ooe released a large amount of heat.

The huge room became warm.

"You guy!"

Shuten-dōji took a step forward and threw a punch directly at Ashiya Dōman.

"it's useless."

"How could a ghost like you possibly defeat me?"

A torrent of water suddenly appeared around Ashiya Dōman—it was drawn directly from the He River near Heian-kyō.

His application of the Five Elements has reached a terrifying level.

sizzle.

When the flames come into contact with the water, puffs of white smoke rise up.

Boom.

Shuten-dōji was also thrown back, crashing into the wall before falling to the ground.

"What a waste of time."

"Two clueless brats."

Ashiya Michimitsu used "gold" to create a large number of sharp blades.

"Don't stop me from doing serious business."

A sharp blade flew out, ready to kill Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji.

But the next moment, flames surged in from all directions, melting all the sharp blades.

Immediately afterwards, Ian appeared in the walkway not far away.

He looked at Ashiya Dōman with utterly cold eyes.

"You maggot."

"What do you intend to do to my Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji?"

152. The Death of Ashiya Dōman: The End of Chaos in Heian-kyō! (4,000-word chapter)

"..."

Ashiya Dōman turned around and saw the great Onmyoji walking towards him from the other end of the corridor.

In an instant, his black eyes were filled with flames of hatred.

"Oh, you've come too."

“Abe, it seems you now understand what my magic circle is doing.”

"Ah."

Ian nodded.

"Your goal... is the entire Heian Shrine, isn't it?"

If you want to imprison the Emperor's soul, you don't need to include the entire Heian Palace in the Yin-Yang Formation.

The only explanation for all this is that this formation was never just something targeting the Emperor's soul from the very beginning.

"Just as I expected!"

Ashiya Doman's smile began to twist.

“Abe, only you can understand all of this.”

"Only when I defeat someone like you can I be considered a true master of Onmyoji!"

However, Ian did not show any excitement in the face of Ashiya Doman's challenging words.

On the contrary, he seemed somewhat puzzled.

So who exactly are you?

"Don't you know me?!" Ashiya Dōman roared. "My life's goal is to defeat you!"

"Ashiya Domitsu!"

"Remember this name!"

Ian stared directly at Ashiya Doman in front of him.

"If you really want to defeat me as an Onmyoji and become the number one Onmyoji in Kyoto, I welcome your challenge anytime, anywhere."

"but--"

"You have never appeared in front of me."

"You don't even dare let your name reach my ears."

"Are you afraid of me?"

"No...it's probably not that they're afraid of me, but rather that they feel inferior to me, which is why they haven't shown up at all, right?"

Your words precisely struck at Ashiya Dōman's weak point.
