Shota is surrounded by monsters!

"Chaotic Crimson Lotus!"

Huang Quan found the spirit beast Luan Honglian, which blocked the impact of the explosion.

"..." Kagura followed Senjougahara back to the ground. Looking at the serious-faced Senjougahara, she said, "Thank you..."

In her memory, Senjougahara was a girl with a very strange temper. For a fleeting moment, she even felt that Senjougahara would stand by Yomi's side without hesitation.

"Don't misunderstand." Senjougahara looked at Kagura and said, "However, if your master were to kill you... she would truly fall to an irredeemable state."

"...Senjouhara, are you saying that Yomi can still be saved?"

Kagura grasped at the last straw in the battlefield's original words and hurriedly asked, "Can she recover?"

"I don't know." Senjougahara shook her head. During this time, she learned a lot about the methods of sealing the Sesshoseki, but according to human records, only the Tsuchimiya family had a way to seal the Sesshoseki—and that method required embedding it into the human body before sealing it.

But just because humans can't do it doesn't mean that monsters can't.

For example... someone who can eat anything.

Senjougahara immediately took out his phone and dialed that guy's number.

"Hi, Moshi Moshi, this is Remi."

"...Is he here?"

"Huh? Shota-kun? He went out... It seems to be something important. Oh, right, I heard there are some strange things happening with yokai tonight, Senjougahara-kun, please don't stay home..."

"I see."

Senjougahara said one sentence and then hung up the phone, but he was a little anxious. Why did that guy suddenly mess up at such a crucial moment?

"boom--"

Just as Senjougahara and Kagura fell silent, a pale golden beam of light suddenly tore through the earth and shot into the sky. Before the two could even realize what it was, Ran Crimson Lotus leaped up from the ground.

"not good……"

Before Senjougahara could utter a complete sentence, Yomi, moving like a gust of wind, delivered a swift chop to the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious. Just as Kagura drew her weapon, Ranguren had already circled behind her…

"Snapped--"

Huang Quan slowly walked up to Kagura, knocked the weapon out of her hand, and said, "Do you think you can get rid of me like this?"

"Huang Quan... Sister."

Kagura's hands were now being held captive by Ranguren, hanging limply in mid-air.

"Don't call me 'sister'!"

Upon hearing the word "sister," Huang Quan instantly became enraged, even raising her treasured sword...

"The Liberation of the Food Spirits—"

The sudden sound from behind made Huang Quan immediately wary. She quickly controlled Luan Honglian to jump back a step, while she turned around and used her knife to parry.

"Bam—"

The spirit beast, with a body as long as a dragon and a head like a hungry wolf, directly bit Huang Quan and stuffed him into the building next to it.

"Father?"

Kagura looked at the middle-aged man who appeared in front of her and collapsed to the ground.

"Oh, isn't this Lord Tsuchimiya?"

Huang Quan emerged from the ruins, her clothes somewhat tattered—but beneath the tears lay unscathed, pristine white skin, suggesting that her injuries had healed almost instantly.

"Isayama...Yellow Springs."

The spirit beast Bai Rui, perched behind the first exorcist, Tu Gong Ya Le, looked at Huang Quan with a solemn expression and said, "You have fallen..."

"is it?"

Huang Quan didn't care about the other party's words at all. He swayed his body and took two steps forward before charging directly at Tsuchimiya Yaraku!

What an enviable power! Everything the Tsuchimiya family owns, everything, everything will be destroyed!

"Bai Rui!"

"Chaotic Crimson Lotus!"

The two spirit beasts engaged in a fierce battle, while Huang Quan and Tu Gong Ya Le also launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle.

Amplified by the Sesshoseki, Yomi had an absolute advantage over the somewhat aged Tsuchimiya Gagaku, but Byakuei also had a one-sided suppression effect against Ranguren. For a time, Yomi was unable to defeat Tsuchimiya Gagaku, but Ranguren was already showing signs of defeat.

"whispering sound!"

Bai Rui sent Luan Honglian flying with a powerful blow, and even had the energy to entangle Huang Quan. Seeing this, Huang Quan shouted in annoyance, "Roaring Bullet!"

Ranguren, who spat out a golden energy blast, was not targeting Tsuchimiya Gagaku or Byakuei, but Kagura, who was lying on the ground!

Desperate to save his daughter, Tsuchimiya Yagaku used Byakuei's body to block the attack. However—Baiei's soul was connected to his, and they even shared the pain.

Suddenly, Tsuchimiya Yagaku felt a sharp pain in his chest and froze, while Yomi wore a triumphant smile.

"Pfft!"

"Father!"

However, what pierced Tsuchimiya Yagaku's body was not the knife of Yomi.

"That brat actually gave the Killing Stone to this guy? He has pretty good taste."

The man who suddenly appeared, completely shrouded in a black cloak, looked at Huang Quan and said, "But where did that brat's aura go?"

"Who are you!"

Faced with Huang Quan's interrogation, the man showed no desire to answer. He pulled out the cross-shaped weapon that had been piercing Tsuchimiya Yaraku's abdomen and directly severed the arm that was engraved with a small red gemstone.

"God."

As if in prayer, the man suddenly spoke in a priestly tone: "I hope you can..."

"I'll ask you again, who are you!"

Now, like a ferocious beast, Isayama Yomi attacks almost anyone she sees. When she sees someone ignoring her, she immediately turns her sword on them!

"when--"

"do not want!"

"Ow!!!"

Four cloaked demons suddenly appeared on the spirit beast Bai Rui. After untying the chains binding Bai Rui, they pierced Bai Rui's body with their weapons!

"Your goal..."

With a last breath, Tsuchimiya Yagaku looked at the group of people searching for something inside Byakuei's body and said, "You actually..."

"The Tsuchimiya family has seized so many Killing Stones; it's time to return them to their rightful owners."

Multiple Killing Stones were directly removed from Bai Rui's body...

The white-haired middle-aged man at the head of the group, whose cloak was torn, held several Killing Stones he had taken from Byakuei's body and said, "Lord Hagoromo-Gitsune, these are exactly what we need right now."

"Cough cough cough cough cough—"

Just then, a figure suddenly ran out from the nearby underpass. His hair was still steaming and his clothes were in a disheveled state.

"Damn it... who detonated the gas down there?!"

Shota, his face ashen with rage, stood atop the Emperor again, but upon seeing the scene on the ground, he...

"Waaah—"

Shota let out a low growl like a wild beast. His instincts told him that perhaps today was the biggest and most dangerous moment of his demon life.

Those five men in black cloaks… the weaker ones were nearly A-rank in strength, and the stronger ones were even on par with the Bull Demon. If they attacked together…

Shota wasn't sure he could be a match for them.

Unfortunately, at this time, the Ushioni was nowhere to be found, the old man was also absent, and the Nura Clan seemed to still be fighting with the yokai of Shikoku...

Chapter 84. Forced to Leave

With Shota's appearance, apart from Byakuei still emitting mournful low moans and Kagura's sobs, the scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The evil spirit Yomi was confronting the monster wielding a cross-shaped weapon, while the other four men in black cloaks also focused their attention on Shota when they saw him.

Tsuchimiya Yaraku pressed his hand against the wound. Because Byakuei had been attacked, his soul had also suffered intense damage. He had already been stabbed once, and if he didn't receive treatment, he might not last much longer.

But now, the only one left standing here who can be considered human is Kagura. Yet, the distance between her and her father is that of Byakuei and four great demons.

"Who?"

"do not know."

"It looks like the Nura Clan."

"Joined later?"

After exchanging opinions, the four people surrounding Byakuei, having already completed the retrieval of the Killing Stone, suddenly rushed to Shota's side. Four different but very powerful forces of fear directly enveloped Shota's entire body. Under the direct pressure, Shota's feet even cracked in the ground.

"Ow!"

After being subjected to the intense stimulation of his inability to mature into a human form, Shota was forced to reveal his true form as a gluttonous beast. The ancient ferocious beast, wreathed in black energy, opened its blood-red maw the moment it appeared, tearing a gash in the opponent's power of fear. Without hesitation, he jumped back a step, then clung to the wall of the building perpendicular to the ground like a spider, panting heavily as he looked down at the four people.

"..."

Seeing that their opponent could break through the combined pressure of their four-person attack, the four were obviously slightly surprised. They had thought that at most, it would be a second-generation leader of the Nura Clan, but they did not expect that their opponent's strength was far beyond their imagination.

"Kidomaru?"

"It's hard to say." The white-haired, white-bearded monster, the only one who had revealed his face, looked seriously at the strange monster that was clinging to the wall and radiating its powerful aura without any attempt to conceal it, and pondered, "Let's deal with him together."

Shota is currently racking his brains for a solution. Fighting four opponents head-on is a risky proposition – and that's assuming he uses up all the undigested energy from the Killing Stone at once. If he wants to run…

Who would be thinking about this kind of thing before a battle?!

Seeing the four monsters closing in on him from different directions, Shota leaped up and left the building, opening his mouth to unleash a powerful, dark energy blast towards the nearest monster!

"Zi-"

The white-haired demon used its sword to block Shota's energy cannon in mid-air, slicing it in two. However, the gluttonous power of fear clung to the blade, slowly but rhythmically absorbing his demonic energy...

"Shh-"

He swung his sword several times and used his demonic energy to completely clear away the annoying power of fear. Although this extraction speed was slow to take effect, if it was stuck for a long time, it might affect some crucial points in the final battle.
