Why is the Demon King like this?

Chapter 104 Ball Skills Tournament (Part 3)

Within this illusory barrier, the rules and laws of reality are overturned; only spirituality wields the strongest iron fist here.

The frost of Hanako No. 1 swept across, and at this moment she was the supreme ruler within the barrier.

Because her spirituality surpassed the combined abilities of the six people!

Despite having such an advantage, Hanako No. 1 appeared quite wary this time after her previous match with Keisuke Ao.

She hid herself in the frost and snow, gave a chilling laugh, and said, "Go to hell."

"Boom boom boom—"

'

A sinister smile appeared on the mask high in the sky, and the twisted creation, under Hanako's control, transformed into a streak of light and arrows, hurtling towards the members of the God One Cult.

She activated her spatial efficiency innate technique to its fullest extent, and the law of attacking and hitting the target took full effect at this moment.

The stream of light crashed into the defensive array erected by the Divine One Sect, exploding one by one. The resulting torrent of spiritual energy directly blasted countless cracks into the array.

Hanako No. 1 clenched her fist, and the biting frost immediately seeped into her.

"We've got you."

Countless tiny hands reached out from the ground and the air, grabbing the bodies of the members of the God One Cult, attempting to directly borrow the power of space to tear them to pieces.

"Be careful!"

An Onmyoji suddenly ripped off his black robe, letting Hanako tear it to shreds. Then, he abruptly clasped his hands together, his thumbs tucked into his palms, and the other eight fingers overlapping in sequence.

"May the majestic treasure mountain protect me!" he cried out.

A bright yellow light immediately emanated from his body, and then the light rapidly expanded, becoming like a disc that enveloped everyone.

"shock!"

At a command, the spiritual energy within the light vibrated three times in succession, annihilating the portion belonging to Hanako-1.

It was indeed a troublesome spell.

Hanako No. 1's face was gloomy. Although it wasn't a big problem, the countermeasures of the God One Cult were quite effective.

"Beware of this monster! Her abilities far exceed our expectations; she's an absolute top-tier prey! Within this barrier, she's practically invincible!"

In the procession, the two attendants exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

One of them said without hesitation, "Everyone, please help us break the formation."

"good!"

Before the Treasure Mountain Mantra was smashed, a servant of the gods sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands forming a mudra, and chanted: "Your Majesty, I offer you my feet, grant me divine speed."

The other person took out a sword-shaped weapon and chanted: "God, with your great might, grant me your eyes, bestow upon me your majesty, and sweep away evil spirits."

The first attendant's legs were broken off, disappearing completely below the calves, and blood flowed freely.

At the same time, a blood-red whirlwind appeared beneath the feet of everyone in the group. Faintly, it seemed as if a solemn divinity flowed within it. Then, the whirlwind transformed into incantations and was engraved into their legs.

The second attendant's eyelids drooped, and he released the control artifact in his hand, shouting, "Help me!"

Upon hearing this, the four Onmyoji clasped their hands together and shouted in unison, "Powerful Giant, suppress the evil spirits!"

This wasn't their first collaboration, so they worked together seamlessly and immediately activated the profound secret technique.

Hanako No. 1 unleashed several punches, only managing to break the Treasure Mountain Curse. Before she could stop it further, a majestic armored giant charged out from within.

It was five or six meters tall, with solemn deep red armor covered in swirling divine patterns. It held a three-meter-long sword and was surrounded by a majestic divine aura.

The giant's entire face was hidden behind the mask and could not be seen by the spell.

"The Divine Mantra of Power?"

Hanako No. 1 raised an eyebrow and immediately recognized the spell that these people had jointly cast.

—This is a powerful divine spell, a technique specifically developed to target evil spirits, but Hanako No. 1 breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing it.

The followers of the Divine One Cult, being inside the giant's body, could avoid being separated and defeated one by one by her spatial abilities. However, this also meant that they could only do their best to maintain the giant's body and could not secretly use other strange spells, otherwise it would disrupt the spiritual cycle inside the giant.

This, in turn, allowed her to concentrate entirely on fighting the enemy!

very good!

Without hesitation, she materialized her body, rushed forward, and punched the giant's mask, slamming the giant into a floating ancient mansion.

A massive surge of spiritual energy erupted, and unlike the restraint she felt when facing Qing Keijie, Hanako No. 1 felt an unprecedented excitement!

"Watch me tear you to pieces! Ha!"

Keisuke Ao's spells and curses couldn't inflict any significant damage on her, let alone the so-called Mighty Giant!

Her only concern right now is the possibility that the Divine One Cult might possess a control artifact with sealing effects.

But they originally came to kill Keisuke Ao, so why would they go to the trouble of bringing a seal against evil spirits?

Their decisive summoning of the Giant Spirit only further proved that they had not prepared the corresponding sealing technique.

"Clang!"

A flash of sword light appeared in the ancient house, and the building immediately crumbled. The Mighty Giant slowly rose from the ruins and dust.

It wiped the frost off its mask, then ran its left hand across the blade, imbuing it with demon-slaying flames.

Its attendant shouted in a resounding voice, "Go!"

The divine power was activated, and the swirling divine patterns on the armor suddenly lit up.

"Evil must be eradicated!"

The Giant of Power roared in anger, and its massive body suddenly vanished from the spot.

Then a shadow appeared behind Hanako, and a strong wind rolled up her sleeves.

The sword swung down towards her neck.

Hanako glanced back and smiled, making no move whatsoever. Only when the blade was about to strike her neck did she lightly flick her sleeve and disappear beneath the blade.

"Thump!"

The next instant, a fist imprint landed solidly on the giant's back.

The giant was sent flying backward, but regained its balance midway, and the magnificent divine light behind it gave it even greater power.

"cut!"

The greatsword slashed repeatedly at high speed, seemingly stirring up the entire barrier.

This was originally a gift prepared by the Saint for Aoki Keisuke, but now it's Hanako-chan who's enjoying it instead.

However, Hanako No. 1 actually likes this kind of opponent, as it allows her to play and frolic freely.

Like a durable toy, its most valuable quality is its ability to withstand handling.

She thrust her bare fists forward, clashing with the greatsword, punch after punch, forcefully extinguishing the demon-slaying flames with her cold blood.

"Interesting! This is more interesting!"

She didn't want to recall her fight with Qing Guijie. Before Qing Guijie's spiritual energy was exhausted, she seemed to be able to passively endure it, which made her wonder if the world outside had changed and if it was now the golden age of genius Onmyoji.

But it was indeed because that monster was too strange!

Hanako grinned maliciously, grabbed the blood she had spilled, and yanked it sharply. The blood streams connected, turning into a frost blade that, in the blink of an eye, severed half of the giant's blood-stained arm.

The three-meter-long greatsword fell off, and the Mighty Giant immediately formed a hand seal with his left hand, a deep roar coming from beneath his mask.

"burst!"

The entire arm exploded with a bang, its spirituality instantly transforming into a powerful force to ward off evil. At the same time, the greatsword, propelled by this force, pierced directly into Hanako-1's abdomen.

"Is it resolved?!"

"careful!!!"

Before the members of the God One Cult could investigate, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the center of the explosion.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Immediately afterwards, a petite figure rushed out. Although her entire stomach was completely shredded and blood was flowing all over her kimono, her aura did not weaken in the slightest.

The power of purification was like a gentle breeze to Hanako!

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"Bang!" Her body crashed directly into the giant, and her sharp hands pierced through the center of the visor.

The Onmyoji inside the giant's head died on the spot. Hanako No. 1 showed a surprised smile and then tore it open to both sides with force!

The corpse, along with the part of the giant from the neck up, was torn in half and then casually thrown into the depths of the barrier.

The terrifying flames made everyone in the Divine Sect tremble with fear.

Only the attendant who had been wielding the greatsword had two lines of bloody tears streaming from his withered eyes. He pressed his hand to his face and hissed, "God One, Haowei, offer me your mouth and nose, and bestow upon me the holy sword!"

"Sizzle!"

The greatsword in Hanako's abdomen twisted violently, then slashed horizontally, splitting her petite body in two.

"Run! She's not dead yet!"

The sword-wielding attendant bled profusely, drawing upon his last strength to grasp the greatsword with the giant's left hand, thus preserving this precious weapon of control.

"Use the Swiftness Spell to escape this barrier! Otherwise, defeat is certain!"

"I understand." The other attendant who was in charge of the divine spells gritted his teeth and activated the divine runes on his armor.

"escape!"

"Buzz, rumble—

'

The barrier constructed by Hanako No. 1 was actually torn open instantly by this divine spell, and the giant instantly turned into a rainbow of light and disappeared into the barrier.

"What a hassle—"

Hanako floated in the air, picked up her fallen lower body, and pieced it back together.

Just as her spatial talent is difficult to defend against, the function of this special divine spell is itself very powerful. The barrier is already her most powerful means of isolation, yet she still managed to escape. It can only be said that this team of the Divine One Sect is truly elite.

"They actually managed to escape." Aokiji spotted the fleeing giant immediately, and before the destructive spiritual wave could destroy Kukai High School, he snapped his fingers.

"The magic circle is deployed."

The magic array placed in the sky immediately suppressed them and fell down. Before the followers of the Divine One Sect could even feel the joy of escaping, they were suppressed again.

"What is this now?" someone roared.

"This is a grand stage."

A sigh of emotion came from Qing Guijie. In an instant, he burned away all the spirituality of the magic circle, activated several secret techniques connected to it, and then cleverly integrated the effects of these secret techniques into a unified whole.

Then, he transformed the basketball court into a truly spectacular stage for all to watch!

Law and reason, mystery and the extraordinary, must intertwine here!

By skillfully leveraging the power of multiple parties, a technique that can be considered a domain before everyone has been unleashed!

At this moment, before the Demon Lord withdraws his will, this stadium, which contains the gaps in Hanako's barrier and also reality, becomes a buffer zone between the two.

As long as Keisuke Ao is still on the court, the followers of the Shinichi Cult can forget about crossing the court and truly returning to reality!

Based on this, Keisuke Ao gained a complete view of the barrier, reality, and the buffer zone.

"That's not bad, let's fight right in front of me—I don't mind that."

Keisuke Ao laughed: "The final day of the tournament is getting more and more interesting."

Although ordinary people cannot witness this magnificent scene, as the spirituality index continues to rise in this small area, everyone present benefits from it, and spirituality experiences a terrifying surge.

Those with talent have even come close to the level of spiritual awakening!

Although it was just a reward with a limited time, considering the transformation Yamazaki had undergone, Keisuke Ao raised his eyes and a hopeful smile appeared on his lips.

What surprises could these people possibly offer him?

Hanako, who had chased after him from inside the barrier, stared in shock at the scene before her. Even she couldn't understand how Keisuke Ao had managed to do such a thing.

Why should they take over the opening in the barrier without their permission as the master?

Why should such a seemingly ordinary basketball court be used to accommodate such a significant space?

With such a meager spirituality, it effortlessly created such a miracle!

It's unbelievable, yet I have to believe it.

Calling it a miracle would be no exaggeration!

"I'll annihilate them completely when I finish the match, Miss Hanako."

Keisuke Ao wasn't looking at her, but Hanako No. 1 subconsciously felt the pressure.

Despite being a hundred times more spiritual than Aokiji, she couldn't feel any sense of security.

"Yes," she replied.
