In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

What kind of existence are monsters in this world?

Judging from the battle scene before us, one thing can be confirmed first.

Like spiritual beings, monsters can "observe" the existence of spirits.

So, how much do these yokai from the Nura Clan actually know about the situation in Kyoto?

Ye Xing guessed that they probably had some basic understanding.

But not much.

Otherwise, the people who came to our door today wouldn't just be these three Nura Clan executives, but rather the leader of the Nura Clan, the Nurarihyon, known as the leader of all yokai.

While Ye Xing was lounging with his legs crossed, enjoying the battle scene, Niu Gui and Kubinashi, the two involved, were already drenched in sweat.

"boom!"

The golden goat-headed deity raised its front paw and slammed it hard onto the bull demon's long sword.

The astonishing force sent the latter staggering back several meters, leaving a scratch on the ground.

The bull demon stared wide-eyed at the enormous golden goat-headed deity, his eyes filled with horror and shock.

"What...is this thing?"

At first, he thought it was just an ordinary earthbound spirit.

This kind of thing is very common.

Some people who had strong obsessions in life will become earthbound spirits who linger in a certain place after death and can never leave.

Shrines are places where earthbound spirits frequently appear.

After all, although it is called a shrine, probably less than one in ten of them are actually inhabited by gods.

I never expected to run into such a tough opponent today.

The bull demon wasn't sure if the goat-headed monster in front of him was a true god, but he was certain of one thing:

This guy is ridiculously strong!

On the other side, Kubinashi wielded his weapon, a sword made from the silk of Jorogumo and the hair of a hairy prostitute, called "Yo-na-gan-ta."

Although it was somewhat easier for him than facing the bull demon with the goat-headed god, it wasn't much easier.

The fox-faced deity was agile, and due to his short stature, he was difficult to aim at.

Even if Shouwu occasionally manages to hit his opponent, the fox-faced envoy seems to feel no pain and shows no sign of slowing down due to injury.

If he continues playing like this, he will undoubtedly lose.

"These guys..."

Seeing the Ushioni and Kubinashi locked in a fierce battle, Yohoshi frowned slightly.

As elite combatants of the Nura Clan...

Aren't these two monsters a bit too weak?

Ye Xing was so weak that she even began to wonder if the other party was just putting on an act for her.

His initial idea was very simple.

Just to be on the safe side, the goat-headed deity and two fox-faced messengers went up first to be sacrificed. In any case, as long as the shrine exists, even if they are destroyed, they can be resurrected after a period of time.

These cannon fodder are perfectly suited to scout out the enemy's abilities and tactics.

Ye Xing really didn't expect that.

The three cannon fodder he sent out to test the waters actually put so much pressure on the other side.

At this moment, both the Ox-Demon and the Headless Demon vaguely realized something.

They originally thought that this journey to Kyoto to find an exorcist, personally led by the first leader Nura Nurarihyon, was a long-dormant attack by the Nura Clan on the modern world.

Now it seems...

It seems like we're the ones being attacked from a lower dimension?

Kyoto is truly the high-level arena!

"Hold on a little longer."

The bull demon's breathing was somewhat heavy as he lowered his voice and spoke to the headless demon beside him.

"I've already sent people to find the other two human girls who are suspected of having psychic abilities. We'll use them as leverage to get them to sit down and negotiate with us. We just need to hold out a little longer."

"I understand, Lord Ox Demon."

Just as Niu Gui and Shou Wu gritted their teeth, deciding to persevere a little longer, Ye Xing's cell phone suddenly rang.

He answered the phone, and on the other end came Rio Futaba's usual calm and composed voice.

"Hey, are you busy right now?"

Night Star glanced at the three Nura Clan yokai who were engaged in a fierce battle with the goat-headed god and two fox-faced envoys not far away, gritting their teeth and holding on, and replied nonchalantly.

"Not busy, just bored and have too much free time."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Rio Futaba said something noncommittal, then added calmly.

"After having dinner with Mai-senpai and the others, Miko and I were planning to use our free time to eliminate the evil spirits in the city and hone our soul materialization skills, but we were attacked instead."

"and then?"

Hearing Yoru's calm and unhurried tone, Futaba Rio slowly spoke.

"They defeated us all without causing us any harm; they're very weak."

“However, neither Miko nor I have ever seen such a creature before. It seems to have a physical form, unlike ordinary evil spirits and ghosts, so we didn’t kill it. Do you already know that?”

Ye Xing nodded and smiled.

"Yes, I'm in the same shrine as last time. Come find me."

"Okay, twenty minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xing sighed softly, a hint of regret in her eyes.

What a pity.

So this is the level of the Nura Clan?

Just a traffic light, and it got me all fired up.

Although the top combat forces of the Nura Clan, Gyuki and Kubinashi, are with him.

But they didn't cause any damage to Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio. Isn't that a bit too weak?

That's it?

You devil, are you still threatening me there?

Even Ye Xing was speechless.

Gathering the full strength of the Nura Clan, just to make themselves laugh?

Tell me my name, and I'll make you laugh?

happy.

"Hey."

The bull demon, who was confronting the goat-headed deity, suddenly heard Ye Xing's voice behind him.

He didn't notice until he heard the other person's voice.

Before he knew it, Ye Xing had appeared behind him.

The demon was so shocked that his expression changed. Without thinking, he turned around and slashed at the demon with his sword.

"clang!"

After a crisp clang of metal clashing.

The demon's long sword broke.

"This is Onimaru Kunitsuna."

Looking at the astonished Niu Gui and the broken half of the knife on the ground, Ye Xing's smile became even more amiable.

"What kind of junk is this? Huh?"

The demon remained silent, unable to respond.

This sword, though it had been with him for many years, could be considered a magical object.

Compared to the legendary sword Onimaru Kunitsuna from the Cherry Blossom Province, calling it scrap metal is no exaggeration.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

Hearing Ye Xing's slightly disappointed words, Niu Gui couldn't help but clench his teeth.

Before he arrived, the commander-in-chief Nurarihyon had given him a special instruction.

"Kyoto is now a human city. Do not use your true power unless absolutely necessary. If you provoke the hostility of humans, you will inevitably fall into another chaotic world of war between monsters and humans."

As if seeing through Niu Gui's thoughts, Ye Xing gently placed the Onimaru Kunitsuna in his hand on the other's neck, his smile vanished, and he spoke softly, word by word.

"If you don't use your full strength now, you're going to die here."

"Master Niugui!"

Seeing that Onimaru Kunitsuna was already at the neck of Ushioni, Kubinashi immediately withdrew, avoiding the entanglement of the two fox-faced divine messengers, and swung his sword...

"String Kill. Kill and Seize. Lock Spider!"

The ban issued by Nurarihyon only targeted the Ushioni and did not include the Kubinashi.

the reason is simple.

The headless demon is not as strong as the bull demon.

"The move names are pretty cool."

Night Star offered a comment, then reached out with his left hand and grabbed the... (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context).
