Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

But why... why didn't Naoko Sakuragi find release, nor did she remain in the secret realm? Why did she end up here instead?!

She wanted to rush forward and ask, but there wasn't a suitable opportunity.

Beside Himeno Aoi, Undying Hara Shuto didn't have such complicated thoughts; he simply and directly shouted in surprise:

"This is impossible! I just sensed his soul dissipating!"

He had been following Ruyi Fangzhu for five years and was the most senior of all the captains.

In those five years, he had never seen a human or demon survive after withstanding Ruyi Fangzhu's killing move!

Impossible! This is impossible!

"Zhou Dou, it's not necessarily true."

At this moment, Ruyi Fangzhu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. He gazed at Hoshino Hideyuki, who was embracing the girl to celebrate the new life, and said in a deep voice, "Although it was only for a moment, that power was indeed a domain... This fox really is..."

Suddenly, he shook the dice and made a judgment.

He raised his hand again, extended his index finger, and pointed at Hoshino Hideyuki:

"It's alright, that was just an accident... Didn't kill him the first time? Then let's try again~"

On the other side, Hoshino Hideyuki sensed the killing intent and his hair stood on end. Before he could speak, he lashed out with his tail, sending out six warriors to block his way. Then, he grabbed Tendo Asuka and dodged to the side!

He himself didn't understand how he had just been resurrected, and he dared not do it again!

However, this time Ruyi Workshop had learned its lesson. To avoid any accidents, it changed the direct beam to a diffused beam. The beam split into six in mid-air and shot towards the fox in a circle!

Just as the fox was about to be shot again, Asuka Tendo turned around from the fox's embrace, formed hand seals, and whispered:

"Fox, I'm here to help you!"

Before the words were even finished, a massive surge of spiritual energy erupted, instantly coalescing into a golden giant phantom in front of the girl.

Although its appearance is somewhat rough and crude, looking like a stick figure, its size is really huge. It managed to withstand the attack of the Ruyi Fangzhu by crossing its arms!

Hoshino Hideyuki blinked and asked the girl in a low voice, "What did you eat? Is this Susanoo or the Hunting God?"

The girl retorted, "It's not that I ate random things! I... I can't explain it clearly in a short time..."

"The legacy of the Greedy Wolf..." Upon realizing that his attack had missed, the Ruyi Fang Master on the other side immediately recognized the source of the girl's immense and almost uncontrollable power.

Yeah!

I thought that old woman would only dare to hide in the secret realm and eke out a living after being stabbed by me, but I didn't expect her to follow me all the way here and continue to cause trouble even after she's dead!

This time, the owner of Ruyi Workshop was genuinely a little angry.

I accomplished absolutely nothing all night. I tried to kill a fox but failed three times. My luck with gambling is just terrible...

"Hehe, hehe..."

With a chilling laugh, the Ruyi Fangzhu's aura began to rise, and the dice head began to tremble faster and faster.

Centered on his feet, whirlwinds arose all around him, and countless afterimages appeared in the air, resembling giant mahjong tiles, dice, and treasures of gold and silver...

Upon seeing their boss enter this form, Himeno Aoi and Undying Hara Shuto instinctively took several steps back.

The rest of the Tian Tong family felt a chill run down their spines and sweat beaded on their foreheads; a few of the more timid ones even trembled—they felt like their ancestors from hundreds of millions of years ago, who had just crawled out of the cave and encountered a velociraptor.

Hideyuki Hoshino clicked his tongue twice and asked Asuka Tendo, "Can you still stop this?"

The girl rolled her eyes and said, "I think we should run away..."

To everyone's surprise, the fox shook its head and said casually, "You can't escape, but you don't need to either."

"Eh? Why?"

boom!

The next second, a loud bang answered the girl's question.

Suddenly, a crimson shadow appeared in the sky and slammed into the ground behind Zhou Dou of the Undying Plains, creating a large crater.

"What the hell?"

Undying Yuan Zhou Dou cursed under his breath. Just as he turned around, he saw a spiked club grow thicker and thicker in front of him, and it swung hard into his head!

Despite being a physical attack, the immense power instantly spread throughout his spirit, sending him spinning dozens of meters before he crashed into the nearby bushes.

Just as Undying Plains Zhou Dou was struck by a blow, another shower of golden arrows shot from the sky toward Himeko Aoi and Ruyi Fangzhu.

Himeno Aoi's alarm bells rang loudly, and she quickly burrowed underground.

The owner of Ruyi Workshop also sensed the powerful force contained in the arrow, and had to stop attacking the fox, turning around to cast a protective spell on himself.

Several giant flower-shaped plaques blocked the rain of arrows in mid-air. The two forces collided, and flames shot into the sky, creating a huge shockwave that killed many more flowers and plants, severely damaging Japan's greening efforts.

Once the torrent of demonic and divine power dissipated, the owner of Ruyi Workshop raised his head and looked at the culprit who had attacked his side.

One was a woman wearing a mask, holding a spiked club, with long, fiery red hair that moved without wind, like a wildfire on the prairie.

One is a perfect girl who flies in the air, with eight tails spread out like a peacock, radiating a divine glow from her hair to her toes.

Behind them, several other Onmyoji with formidable strength were rapidly approaching.

Haha, hahahaha…

The owner of Ruyi Workshop sneered. He knew that he really couldn't kill the fox today.

He turned his head and looked at Hoshino Hideyuki across from him.

The fox also stood up at this moment, slowly raised its hand... and gave the middle finger to the master of Ruyi Workshop.

"Dice Head, this round, I, the Fox, have won!"

Chapter 230 Fox: What's it like to see a beautiful girl drooling as soon as you wake up?

Great!

No matter how tortuous the process, I, the fox, held on until the reinforcements arrived!

Hideyuki Hoshino proudly raised his tail.

Across from them, the Master of Ruyi Workshop clapped his hands.

"Impressive, you fox are truly remarkable, but it's too early to say you've won the bet..."

As Ruyi Fangzhu spoke, a scream suddenly came from nearby. Hoshino Hideyuki turned his head and found that while everyone was not paying attention, Tendo Tomoya had a large hole in his chest and was lying in a pool of blood.

what……

Brother Tomoya!

No, ten minutes have already passed, why do you, you dice-headed idiot, still have to pull this stunt?

"...Smiling Fox, our bet has a long way to go," Master Ruyi Fang laughed. "Today is just the first small round; we'll continue later!"

After saying that, he pulled up Himeko Aoi, who had just crawled out of the ground, and turned to look in the direction of Shinjihara Shuto, only to find that an Onmyoji had already landed there, and Shinjihara Shuto's aura seemed unstable, as if he was already on his last legs...

He clicked his tongue twice, glanced with surprise at the tense and vigilant Iji Chikiku behind him, decided not to interfere any further, and simply pulled Himeno Aoi along, flying low towards the direction of Tendo Tomoya's corpse.

"Don't run!"

In the sky, Yukiho Amamiya drew her bow and released a rain of arrows once again.

However, Ruyifangzhu was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he stepped onto the pool of blood of Tendo Tomoya.

The bright red blood formed a mirror-like surface in a sense, triggering the entry and exit mechanism of the Cloud Sea Gambling House. In a ripple, a passage was created, and the Ruyi Pavilion Master ducked and disappeared before the rain of arrows hit the ground.

With that, Ruyi Fangzhu officially left the stage.

Hoshino Hideyuki let out a long sigh, but then frowned again.

Ah, ah, it seems I've completely provoked a great monster.

"Continue after this... continue my ass, this is so troublesome."

Whatever.

If you keep nagging me with your dice-like mind, I, the fox, will play along to the very end!

However, putting aside the Ruyi Fangzhu, the current situation seems quite troublesome...

Hoshino Hideyuki looked at the group of middle-aged and elderly members of the Tendo family walking around on the horizon and felt a chill run down his spine.

But he soon realized that he no longer needed to worry about this problem.

A sudden wave of intense fatigue washed over him, causing his legs to buckle and his eyelids to tremble.

no way.

The fox hasn't rested all day, fighting since morning and enduring the Ruyi Fangzhu for so long. Although it looks okay, in reality...

We've really reached our limit.

It's not just a depletion of demonic power, but the complete limit of demonic power, physical strength, and mental strength.

"Sorry, I need to take a nap..."

Before he could finish speaking, he closed his eyes, and with a "poof," he transformed back into his original pink-haired fox form, falling backward.

Fortunately, Asuka Tendo caught him in time.

"Fox! What's wrong with you?"

In the distance, the concerned calls of Miss Amamiya and Kikuri Iji could be heard: "Mr. Smiling Fox!" "Fox!"

However, the fox could no longer hear, well, after all, his eyes had turned into the shape of XX.

A few minutes later.

In the sky several kilometers away.

Ruyi Fangzhu and Himeno Kui appeared in the clouds.

Recalling the eight-tailed fox that appeared at the last moment, the red-haired demon princess, and the onmyoji girl from the beginning, Himeno Aoi curled her lip and said, "That damned fox certainly has a lot of luck with women..."

After teasing for a while, she asked the owner of Ruyi Workshop, "Boss, didn't we suffer a huge loss tonight? All the pressure is on us, while the Ksitigarbha doll gets all the benefits!"

"Hmm... not quite. At least my original body has come to the mortal world, and Tanlang of the Tiantong family is dead. With these two major gains, the whole plan can be considered more than half successful."

At this moment, the owner of Ruyi Workshop seemed to have emerged from the frustration of not being able to kill the fox, and regained his usual carefree attitude, laughing:

"Besides, the loss is only temporary. That foxy kid is really good. It'll be quite fun to keep playing with him. We can settle the score when one of us is exhausted."
