Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

At the end of the street, Asuka Tendo and Shuto Fushihara stood amidst a pile of collapsed ruins.

In just a few minutes, the two have already exchanged dozens of blows, demolished a large number of houses, and destroyed countless flowers, plants, and road pavers, but still have not been able to determine a winner.

"I must admit, I underestimated you..."

With a flick of his wrist, Immortal Yuan Zhoudou caused the twelve demon swords to rotate clockwise around his head. He then coldly stared at Tendou Asuka and said, "If I had known this would happen, I should have ambushed you when you came in!"

"So that's how you ambushed Long Zhi? You took advantage of your ability to freely enter and exit the secret realm and ambushed him the moment he landed?"

Asuka Tendo frowned and asked, "Just what are you?!"

"What I was before doesn't matter, but now, I am Tendo Ryuji! His soul and body already belong to me!"

Undying Yuan Zhou Dou sneered, "And you will die by his blade!"

Before the words were finished, the demon sword in mid-air suddenly began to split, instantly turning from twelve into forty-eight, which rained down on Asuka Tendou!

Chapter 223 The genius beauty will not let the fox down!

Despite his outward arrogance, the more he fought, the more terrified Zhou Dou became.

On one hand, Asuka Tendo's strength exceeded his expectations; on the other hand, he also noticed the battlefield between the fox and Himeno Aoi behind him.

How could that bastard lose so quickly?

What kind of captain of the Flower Blade Squad, what kind of big sister of the ninjas, can't even hold on for a little longer!

Even though the fox didn't seem to intend to interfere for the time being, Undying Yuan Zhou Dou couldn't help but worry.

He has a hard time even fighting the fox alone. If he were attacked by the fox and Asuka Tendo together, he would surely die!

So he wasn't going to waste any more time.

At this moment, what he used was his, or rather, Tendo Ryuji's, strongest move—Senbonzakura Ranbu!

Over here, Asuka Tendo quickly ran away, dodging the sudden attack of forty-eight demon swords.

However, the next second, the forty-eight knives split apart again, but instead of becoming ninety-six knives, they split into thousands upon thousands of pink cherry blossom petals!

It looks beautiful, it looks light and airy, it looks harmless, but Asuka Tendo can feel that every tiny petal inside has the terrifying power to instantly sever a person's head!

If there were only one or two pieces, she could withstand it with her golden body, but when it comes to hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of pieces, even her powerful golden body can't withstand it!

So how do you dodge?

No, that won't work either, because the petals are too light and there are too many of them. They rise with the wind and surge over, completely surrounding the girl!

If we can neither resist nor hide, then... let's find another way!

Asuka Tendo took a deep breath.

As the petals drew ever closer, silently shredding the surrounding earth and collapsed houses into powder, she calmed down and even closed her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Dou of the Undying Plains couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Huh? You've already closed your eyes and awaited death?"

"On the contrary..."

Asuka Tendo smirked: "I've found the way to victory!"

"Ha, still spouting nonsense even when death is imminent... Huh?"

Just as Undying Yuan Zhou Dou was about to make a sarcastic remark, he suddenly glared at him, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets!

Suddenly, Asuka Tendo turned around and rushed straight towards the cherry blossom cluster—but after the two sides made contact, she was not cut into pieces, but instead broke free from the encirclement of cherry blossom petals!

Undying Plains Zhou Dou couldn't comprehend this scene: "This, this..."

Were all the attacks I launched fake?

While he was still in a daze, Asuka Tendo had already run up to him!

"Get out of my way!"

He quickly switched back to using cherry blossom petals for defense, but Asuka Tendo used the same trick again, choosing a special direction to slip through the petals without taking any damage. With a few quick steps, she closed the distance between the two to within three meters!

"Why……"

boom!

This time, Undying Yuan Zhou Dou didn't have time to speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the girl's fist came flying at him. Her spiritual power, which had been condensed to the extreme, suddenly erupted, sending him flying more than ten meters away, where he crashed heavily to the ground.

"call……"

Asuka Tendo breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stepped forward.

It turned out that the girl had sensed something was wrong from the very beginning.

Undying Yuan Zhou Dou's use of the Tendou family's magic was not very smooth, especially when wielding the demon sword, and he would even occasionally reveal a flaw—something the fox couldn't see, but the girl, as a genius of the Tendou family, was different.

At first, the girl thought it was just an accident, or a trap deliberately set by the Immortal Yuan Zhou Dou.

But as this phenomenon became more and more frequent, she realized that this was the flaw of the Undying Yuan Zhou Dou!

The opponent possessed Tendo Ryuji's body and even stole the spells and shikigami that Tendo Ryuji was so proud of, but did not take away the experience, habits and combat understanding that Tendo Ryuji had honed over more than ten years!

Because this kind of thing cannot be learned in a short time by simply opening your brain and going through your memories. In fact, considering that Undying Yuan Zhoudou already has his own experience and habits, he may not want to learn Tendo Ryuji's things!

Then the problem is coming...

You've only installed half of the software driver, yet you're forcing the use of someone else's hardware. How can you expect to avoid problems?

Especially with these demon swords...

Asuka Tendo had learned beforehand that Ryuji Tendo became obsessed with all kinds of samurai swords after being defeated by an opponent wielding a demon sword when he was young.

As a result, when he grew up, he never made a contract with a proper shikigami. Instead, he specifically sought out swords with unusual characteristics to use, which is how he managed to put together such a formidable-looking setup.

However, although these swords look cool and are very powerful when they fly in the sky, they are still just swords. Most of them do not have any clear intelligence and can only be said to have some spiritual charm.

Unlike animal-type shikigami that have their own brains, they cannot move freely and nimbly. Controlling them to attack or defend is far more difficult and energy-consuming than giving commands to ordinary shikigami.

This is why Undying Yuan Zhou Dou has so many openings when using the demon sword.

Well, if you want to overclock your hardware without installing all the software drivers, who else is going to have problems if not you?

Once she understood this, Asuka Tendo's path to victory became clear.

Force the immortal Yuan Zhou Dou to unleash as many powerful attacks as possible! Ideally, he should unleash all his demon swords!

The greater the momentum and the more overclocking, the bigger the flaws become. It may seem that cherry blossoms are flying everywhere, but in fact, many places are just illusions, and they will break at the slightest touch!

Thus, the girl could glimpse the opportunity for victory!

Back to the present.

"In the end, you are not Tendo Ryuji at all, but just a fake who stole his things!"

Asuka Tendo slowly walked up to Shuto Fushihara.

"you……"

Undying Yuan Zhou Dou still wanted to put up some resistance, but suddenly his movements froze and his expression twitched.

Asuka Tendo narrowed her eyes. This reaction...

It's as if the body and consciousness are repelling each other.

In other words, this guy hasn't actually managed to completely take over everything from Tendo Ryuji yet, and Tendo Ryuji is still resisting? Yes, that also explains why his moves have such large openings!

Thinking of this, Asuka Tendo perked up, then chanted an incantation, made a hand seal with her right hand, and pressed it onto the forehead of Shikihara Shuto!

She displayed the most basic skill of an Onmyoji traveling among the people—exorcising evil spirits!

"Ah... Ugh!"

As the girl chanted her incantation, golden light flowed like ripples across Undying Yuan Zhou Dou, or rather, across the entire body of Tian Tong Long Zhi. The latter roared for a while, then his body went limp and he stopped moving.

"Success?"

The girl, covered in sweat, also collapsed to the ground.

Just then, a dark shadow emerged from Tendo Ryuji's eyes, circled in mid-air, shrieked once, and then pounced on Tendo Asuka!

"Want to save him? Then your body is mine... Ah!"

Before the shadowy figure could finish speaking, a small cotton blanket flew over and covered Asuka, causing her to bump her head all over!

Ah, no, what the heck is this?

How could a mere quilt possibly keep me out?

Before he could figure this out, the azure-blue flame dragon silently arrived...

call!

"Damn it! Bastards! Where did you monsters come from?!"

The next second, the shadowy figure was engulfed by the Heart Moonfire. After screaming a few times, it was burned to ashes.

In the distance, Hideyuki Hoshino clapped his hands.

Although I don't know what this Undying Yuan Zhou Dou is, it looks like a spirit. In that case, the combination of Heart Moonfire and the absolutely safe Little Cotton Blanket is definitely the right choice!

"fox……"

Asuka Tendo breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Hideyuki Hoshino, and then...

...and then I saw the fox's hand on Himeno Aoi's butt.

"W-What are you doing!?"

Hoshino Hideyuki said in a serious tone, "We are exchanging feelings with the prisoners."

"That's not how you communicate!"

Boom!

dong dong!

Suddenly, a loud bell that could be heard in every corner of Ashihara interrupted the girl's words.

The people and foxes present all looked up and faintly heard cheers coming from the castle tower. Then they saw a beam of emerald light rise from it and fly into the air.

Although it was the first time she had seen such a situation, Asuka Tendo immediately guessed that the Long-Haired Demon King was dead, the trial was over, and the Divine Orb had been activated!
