One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

"This English gentleman, we're all seasoned foxes, so let's not play these ghost stories here."

"We're taking the Dragon Balls and the Overpowered Scale."

Little Lily exhaled a puff of purple smoke, her eyes instantly turning icy cold:

"If you know what's good for you, go back to your old European homeland. Otherwise, the snow on Changbai Mountain might be dyed red today."

"Oh? It seems there's no point in negotiating."

Arthur sighed regretfully.

He wasn't angry; instead, he calmly put away his umbrella.

"Ivan."

Arthur called out softly.

"Roar!!!"

The giant man behind him, who was over two meters tall, suddenly let out a ferocious, inhuman roar!

Chapter 159 Protect the Emperor! Protect the lord in front of you!

With that roar, Ivan's vest was instantly torn to shreds.

His bones cracked, and his already tall stature of over two meters grew even taller!

Its hair grew wildly, and sharp claws sprang from its ten fingers.

Just two seconds.

A seemingly normal, strong man was transformed into a half-human, half-bear monster right before everyone's eyes!

"Western bestial abilities? Or the genetic modification techniques used on werewolves and bear-men?"

He Maoxin looked at the monster in front of him, whose drool was almost dripping to the ground, and instead of being afraid, he became excited.

He slowly took off his headphones, muttering to himself:

"This is a limited edition; you can't afford to pay for it if you break it."

"boom!"

Ivan's scarlet beastly eyes were fixed on Kamo Shinya, and his thick legs kicked off the snow.

Suddenly, a huge crater appeared on the snowfield.

It also surged towards Kamo Shin!

The enormous bear paw slammed down with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!

"Good timing!"

He Maoxin grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

Faced with this palm strike that felt like Mount Tai pressing down, he neither dodged nor avoided it.

His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and he slammed them against his chest.

"Onmyoji: Shikigami Possession!"

"Shuten-dōji! Lend me your time!"

"Buzz!"

A dark red demonic aura instantly erupted from Kamo Shinya's body!

His originally lean body suddenly swelled with muscles, and large patches of crimson ghost patterns appeared on his skin.

"boom!!!"

Kamo Shinya took a half step back with his right foot and actually raised his fist to meet Ivan's huge bear paw head-on!

Fist and palm strike!

A visible white shockwave exploded outwards from the two of them!

The surrounding snow was instantly cleared away by the blast wave, revealing the hard permafrost below.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Ivan, a half-human, half-bear, took advantage of his size to unleash a barrage of attacks.

Kamo Shinya, possessed by Shuten-dōji's demonic power, was like an indestructible mad dog.

Every punch landed squarely, and he even took the opportunity to headbutt Ivan hard in the chin.

Blood splattered, beast roars echoed, the scene was extremely brutal!

And just as the two were locked in combat.

Taro and Kenji, standing behind Tsuchimikado Ryosuke, exchanged a glance, both seeing a pang of fear in each other's eyes.

"This is...this is terrifying!"

Fat Taro trembled with fear as he watched the splattering blood.

Kenji swallowed hard, then drew a katana with an air of righteous indignation and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Taro! The enemy's firepower is too intense! We must protect Ryosuke-sama and Sayuri-sama with our lives!"

"Yes! We'll protect you to the death!" Fatty Taro immediately understood.

Then, under the astonished gaze of the Westerner opposite,

The two monks, one fat and one thin, chanted heroic slogans while smoothly...

He slipped behind Tsuchimikado Ryosuke and Abe Sayuri!

They clung tightly to the backs of the two big shots, poking their heads out, and shouted righteously:

"Lord Ryosuke! We have successfully protected your back!"

"Lady Lily! With us here, no enemy can possibly ambush you from behind! You can confidently attack from the front!"

"For the glory of the Tsuchimikado family!!!"

Looking at these two clowns who so confidently use their boss as a shield...

Ryosuke Tsuchimikado's eyes twitched violently, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

If it weren't for the formidable enemy at hand, he would have loved to turn around and teach those two bastards a lesson!

"You shameful thing, shut up!"

Sayuri Abe cursed in disdain.

She ignored the two good-for-nothings behind her and instead turned her gaze to the opposite side.

At this moment, an alchemist wearing a gray cloak behind Arthur took out several glass flasks containing green liquid.

He muttered an obscure incantation and smashed the flask violently onto the snow.

"Bah!"

The green liquid reacted instantly upon contact with the snow.

The snow melted and was reshaped.

In the blink of an eye, three alchemical gargoyles, each two meters tall, roared as they stood up and charged toward the Onmyoji's camp!

"A trivial skill."

Abe Sayuri snorted and slammed her pipe into the air.

"Purple Butterfly Burns Soul!"

Those wisps of purple smoke transformed into hundreds and thousands of butterflies burning with ghostly flames in mid-air.

These butterflies danced gracefully in the wind and snow.

Like moths to a flame, they swarmed densely onto the three-headed gargoyle.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The purple flames instantly blazed fiercely, and the gargoyle, which even bullets couldn't penetrate, let out a miserable scream as it was burned by the purple butterfly.

In no time, it was burned into several puddles of steaming mud!

"Beautiful technique, the Yin-Yang art of the East, it is indeed unique."

Arthur, holding the umbrella, clapped his hands in admiration.

He remained standing in the same spot, without moving an inch.

But this does not mean that the Western camp has lost ground.

The alchemist threw out another potion, while another Western assassin wielding a rapier had already become a shadowy figure, locked in combat with Chizuru in the snow.

Swords clashed and flames soared into the sky.

In the depths of the snow-covered Changbai Mountains, the shikigami and talismans of the East clash with the alchemy and supernatural abilities of the West in a fierce battle!

However, as the fighting continued...

Ryosuke Tsuchimikado and Arthur, who hadn't made a move yet, both frowned in unison.

They are all top-notch intelligent people in their respective camps.

After watching for a while, the two of them figured out what was going on.

Although Kamo Shinya and Ivan fought fiercely, their faces covered in blood and their blows landing squarely, they were both thick-skinned and neither could kill the other.

Chizuru and the assassin were so fast that they were practically scraping each other.

Although Lily's magic was powerful, the alchemist seemed to have unlimited potions in his inventory, managing to outlast her with sheer quantity.

The others were also locked in a fierce battle.

If this deadlock continues, even if a winner is eventually determined, the victor will be a Pyrrhic victory.

It will inevitably cause serious injury.

Stop.

Arthur suddenly spoke up.
