Although Zhang Zhao didn't have time to look back, he knew that the other party had caught up with him because he felt a chilling coldness coming from his back.

Then he heard the sound of chains clashing behind him, followed by a whooshing sound. Zhang Zhao slowly closed his eyes, realizing that he was truly at his wit's end.

It wasn't that he didn't want to hide, but he simply didn't have the strength left, and no matter how hard he tried, he didn't want to move an inch.

Maybe it's alright this way!

I hope Bai Yu and the others can escape.

I hope that old man will give the compensation money to my sister.

I hope my sister won't be fooled by that jerk...

At this moment, Zhang Zhao's mind raced through his entire life, and then he silently lay on the ground awaiting death.

I wonder if it hurts when I die!

"Raphiel, we can't wait any longer."

"Wait a little longer!"

"What are you waiting for? Are you still an angel? Go save them!"

"Wait a little longer!"

"Where exactly are you..."

"Alright, it's coming!"

Chapter 757 Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion

"Clang... Bang!"

Just as Zhang Zhao was waiting to die, the thought he expected did not come. Instead, he heard a whooshing sound, followed by the sound of metal clashing, and finally the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

"Hey! Are you alright?"

A familiar voice reached Zhang Zhao's ears. It was Tsuchimikado-kun.

How could that be? How could he be here? He must be hallucinating.

But why hasn't that monster made a move yet? Is it trying to capture me alive?

That's really bad luck. I hope they don't use me for experiments or torture me! I'm terrified of pain.

"What's wrong? Did you faint from fright?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at Zhang Zhao, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and muttered in confusion.

Hearing Tsuchimikado Fuyu's voice again, and seeing that the other party hadn't made a move against him, Zhang Zhao slowly realized that... he wasn't hallucinating!

He slowly opened his eyes, turned his head slightly, and saw Tsuchimikado Fuyu carrying a large bamboo on his back, holding a large dandelion in his right hand and a branch in his left, standing beside him.

"Tsuchimikado... classmate?" Zhang Zhao asked hesitantly.

"What's wrong? You don't recognize me after a few days?" Tsuchimikado Tou said with a smile, "But I didn't expect you to be a Taoist priest, Zhang Zhao. From Maoshan?"

“No… Zhang Zhao, a disciple dispatched from Longhu Mountain by the Celestial Master’s Mansion,” Zhang Zhao said proudly.

"Sending them abroad?" Tsuchimikado Tou blinked. How come the Taoist priests in China have expanded their business?

Wait, what did he just say? Longhu Mountain... Celestial Master's Mansion? Could it be from that anime, Under One Person?

"Who is your current sect leader?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked curiously.

"Grandmaster Zhang Zhiwei, what's wrong?"

"Just as I thought," Tsuchimikado Fuyu muttered to himself.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Zhang Zhao asked curiously when he saw that he didn't speak.

"It's nothing, but your seniority is so low."

“…” Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly, “What can I do? My master is of a lower generation, and he didn’t teach me anything after he brought me up the mountain. I only managed to get a lot of good things from the master by shamelessly pestering him.”

When his master was mentioned, Zhang Zhao spoke through gritted teeth as if he were thinking of an enemy.

"...You're really pitiful." Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

"Who says otherwise! Doing a good deed almost got me killed. Who could be more unlucky than me? But speaking of which, why are you here, Tsuchimikado-kun?"

"It was Raphiel who messaged me, and even now, haven't you realized it yet?" Tsuchimikado Tou looked at Zhang Zhao with a puzzled expression. He had made it so obvious, how could he not realize that I was not an ordinary person?

"I did notice, but your appearance is a bit unexpected." Zhang Zhao carefully observed Tsuchimikado Fuyu, then asked hesitantly, "Are you an Onmyoji?"

It's not surprising that Zhang Zhao didn't recognize her; it's just that Tsuchimikado Fuyu's appearance was truly unexpected.

After all, whether it's an Onmyoji who commands shikigami or an Onmyoji who combines with shikigami to fight, Tsuchimikado Fuyu doesn't seem to fit the bill.

After all, what Onmyoji would carry bamboo on their back and hold an exaggerated dandelion that is impossible in reality while fighting?

"Hmm." Tsuchimikado Fuyu shrugged and said, "Although I'm not quite like a traditional Onmyoji, I am."

"Be more confident. If you remove the 'Tai,' it doesn't look like you at all. But I'm also quite stupid. I didn't realize it until now. The name Tsuchimikado Fuyu is obviously from the Tsuchimikado family. Just a little thought should tell you."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu did not respond to this, but turned to look at the woman who had climbed out of the pit and said, "Alright, that's the end of the chat. Now it's time for the next round. Strange shikigami!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhao noticed that the scenery around him had changed. Suddenly, a crescent moon hung high in the sky in the pitch-black night, and the moonlight reflected off the water, making the entire space filled with a deep blue color.

The water surface ripples, but people can stand on it as if they are standing on crystal screens.

The trees in the forest disappeared, replaced by an endless forest, surrounded by shimmering green lights like fireflies, and lotus flowers floating on the water like crystals.

"What is this?" Zhang Zhao's mouth gaped open as he stared at the scene in astonishment. What a joke! Could a Japanese Onmyoji really do this? Even the Tsuchimikado family couldn't possibly create such a commotion.

But that wasn't all. Tsuchimikado Fuyu's next move shattered his understanding of Japanese Onmyoji, making him exclaim that this guy must be cheating!

As Tsuchimikado Fuyu unfolded the illusion, the woman suddenly pushed off with her left foot and rushed towards Tsuchimikado Fuyu at lightning speed.

Although her shackles were bound with two iron balls the size of two human heads, they did not hinder her movement at all. On the contrary, the sound of the iron balls hitting the ground repeatedly gave people a strong sense of oppression.

She instantly rushed in front of Tsuchimikado Fuyu and shot out two iron chains wrapped around her arms. Upon closer inspection, one would find that the tips of the chains were iron cones about the length of a finger.

The iron chains shot towards Tsuchimikado Fuyu like two venomous snakes, attempting to kill him with a single blow.

"Be careful!" Zhang Zhao called out worriedly.

However, before he could finish speaking, a man and a woman ran out from behind Tsuchimikado Fuyu and blocked one of the chains. The woman with three fox tails even grabbed the chain, preventing her from pulling it back.

After struggling with the three-tailed fox for a while, the opponent realized that he couldn't outmaneuver it, so he simply used the three-tailed fox's strength to rush over quickly, intending to engage in close combat.

But just then, an extremely fat goldfish suddenly appeared in front of her and bumped right into her.

At the same time, after blocking the opponent's attack, Wan Nian Zhu rushed over quickly and decisively struck when the opponent collided with the goldfish, killing it with a single sword strike.

"That's amazing."

Zhang Zhao opened his eyes wide. As a Taoist priest, although he was helpless against evil spirits and such, since his Golden Light Mantra was not very good, he still had a keen eye and could naturally see that Mannendake and the others were not human. In other words, they were all Shikigami of Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

To be able to control so many shikigami at the same time, and all of them are quite powerful, Tsuchimikado is really amazing.

But what surprised him even more was what happened next. Wan Nianzhu's attack did not kill his opponent. Just as Wan Nianzhu was about to pierce the opponent's throat, a dark figure appeared to Wan Nianzhu's side. The figure was holding a dagger and stabbed at Wan Nianzhu, intending to relieve the siege by attacking the enemy's stronghold.

Of course, the opponent's attack did not force Wan Nian Zhu to stop and defend, because the sea of ​​red spider lilies had already been laid out, and a wall of flowers blocked Wan Nian Zhu's side, blocking the attack of the dark figure.

Furthermore, the flower petals extending from the flower wall were woven into a flower net, enveloping the other party.

Wan Nian Zhu didn't kill the woman simply because she reacted quickly enough.

As Mannendake attacked, she leaned back, the rope she was struggling with on her left hand suddenly loosened, she braced herself with both hands, then blocked Mannendake's sword with her right foot on the iron ball, and slammed the iron ball towards Mannendake with her left foot.
