In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

boom!!!

The violent pressure pressed down relentlessly on the three forbidden demons, and the flashing light also faintly reflected their incredulous expressions!

……

Chapter 306 Wake up, everyone!

hum!

A sudden burst of light erupted from Xia Mu's hand, and the sound of some creature breathing came from the light. Looking at his hand again, there was a weapon shaped like a crescent moon.

clang!

The crescent moon emitted soft murmurs, and although the black mist absorbed most of the light, it still shone with unparalleled brilliance.

The next second, the crescent moon shot out, and as it traveled, it once again emitted a series of sounds as if cutting through the air. A look of doubt flashed in the eyes of the three forbidden beings, until the bloodwing giant looked at the white bone skeleton's arm and suddenly uttered an incredulous word.

"Shenzhou III! Your...your arm!"

Seemingly reminded by the Bloodwing Giant, God Three finally reacted. He lowered his head and looked at one of the skeletal arms, which broke off from the shoulder bone and crashed to the ground with a tremendous bang!

boom!

"when?!!!"

Shenzhou III was horrified.

For a fleeting moment, He couldn't even detect the trajectory of the man's attack. Only now, with an intense, almost suffocating sense of danger, did He feel the long-lost pressure!

In previous intelligence reports, although the top figures of the Illuminati were aware of the existence of Xia Mu and others, they never regarded them as true opponents. After all, in the past, they had encountered such opponents more than once, but without exception, they all fell to the hands of the Illuminati in the end!

Therefore, after initially learning about Xia Mu and the others, they only dispatched members of lower ranks to try to eliminate the target with minimal cost. However, only a few months later, the beings that were once as weak as ants had unexpectedly become powerful enough to threaten them. How could this not surprise them and the other two forbidden species?

Moreover, what was most shocking was that the man's expression did not change at all after launching such a terrifying attack, as if he had only done something insignificant. This made them feel even more incredulous!

Looking at the Illuminati's past enemies, even if they displayed superhuman strength, they would never surpass the level of dangerous species demons. In fact, most of them were only at the level of ordinary species, which meant that any member of the Illuminati could simply wipe them out with a wave of their hand!

However, the truth is that the man in front of them has grown to the point where he can threaten the forbidden species, namely the top of the Illuminati pyramid!

At the same time, when Mikiko looked at the huge skeletal limbs that were so casually placed in front of her, she recalled the scene of everyone attacking together not long ago, and an unbelievable feeling rose in her heart, followed by a great deal of excitement!

Noticing the change in Mikiko's expression, Sayuri puffed out her chest, making her already prominent breasts even more noticeable, as if they were about to burst out at any moment: "Mom, did you see that? Natsuki-sensei has become incredibly powerful now. Even that terrifying being is no match for him! Hehe!"

Hearing her daughter's words, Mikiko's eyes lit up again: "If it's Natsuki, maybe it really could..."

In fact, even Xia Mu himself cannot accurately say just how powerful he is now!

Xia Mu felt that ever since the phantom of the cross necklace merged with his body, the power within his body would surge every moment, as if it were trying to tap into all its potential. Even the power of holy light was always overflowing, allowing him to fight in the best possible condition!

Several hours have passed since the successful fusion. At that time, he was already able to easily defeat God Five, who was at the level of a forbidden species. How could he be at a disadvantage when facing this skeleton?

clang!

The crescent-shaped weapon returned to Xia Mu's hand. He looked at the remaining skeleton's body, a mocking smile appearing on his lips: "How about that? I wasn't wrong, was I? I need to remind you, this is just the beginning. If you want to run away, it'll be too late!"

"!!!"

Whoosh!

Provoked by Xia Mu's words, several forbidden species showed expressions of anger on their faces. Under the influence of their emotions, the black mist surged and transformed into terrifying demons, roaring incessantly. Their vicious eyes stared intently at Xia Mu, as if they wanted to devour him whole.

In particular, the skeletal skeleton with one arm severed could hardly contain its rage: "Damn little bug, you've only gained a little power, yet you dare to spout such nonsense! I'll show you what the real apocalypse is all about!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the image of the evil spirits in the black mist materialized. One after another, ghosts that had reached the level of dangerous species rushed out of the black mist. In just a short while, at least a thousand ghosts roared as they emerged from the black mist and rushed toward the location that Xia Mu and the others had indicated.

Roar! ! !

Sounds far more terrifying than those of wild beasts emanated from the mouths of these ghosts. It was hard to imagine that ghosts of this level could not possibly exist in large numbers under normal circumstances. However, since the Tokyo Incident, ghosts had appeared in this world in an immeasurable manner. In a sense, this was indeed enough to bring about a terrible crisis of the end times!

Xia Mu also sensed that since yesterday, the existence known as "Heavenly Dao" seemed to have disappeared. At least, without the intervention of "Heavenly Dao," the entire world situation would probably have changed due to this world-ending crisis. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it would have caused widespread suffering and death!

"but……"

These thoughts only flashed through Xia Mu's mind before he calmly said, "Since the Heavenly Dao is no longer here, then I will clean up the garbage for this world!"

After speaking, he glanced at the astonishing number of ghosts. They numbered over two thousand and were increasing at a visible rate. Although dealing with such a large number of targets wouldn't be difficult for him now, Xia Mu thought for a moment and decided to choose a safer approach.

So, Natsuki looked around, his gaze sweeping over the faces of Shiroshima and the others. He took a deep breath and murmured, "I'm sorry, it's a bit selfish, but to stop them, it's unavoidable. I need everyone's help, so—"

He took a deep breath and whispered again, "Wake up, everyone!"

……

Chapter 307 [The Sacred Barrier]!

"Wake up, everyone!"

As soon as Xia Mu finished speaking, a dense light emanated from his body. This light spread outwards, reaching a distance of over a hundred meters before stopping. The ghosts that touched this light roared and showed expressions of pain.

Roar! ! !

[Sacred Barrier]!

This is another ability that Xia Mu reawakened after fusing with the phantom of the cross necklace. The range and strength of the barrier are closely related to his own holy light power.

The [Holy Barrier] he now casts can block the damage from dangerous ghosts and even produce a certain degree of rebound effect. If someone tries to force their way in, they will be forcibly erased by holy light!

At this very moment, dozens of dangerous demonic creatures desperately rushed into the barrier. The erosion of the holy light destroyed most of their limbs. After only a few steps, they turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated. The extent of the damage was unimaginable just a few months ago!

"Also, it's time to put this enhanced version of [Holy Light Healing] to good use!"

As Xia Mu spoke, he raised his hand, and a ball of light formed from the power of holy light appeared in his palm. Tentacles, also composed of holy light, emerged from the ball of light and then flew rapidly toward Shiroshima and the others!

shhhhh--

When the tentacles touched the girls' bodies, they instantly transformed into orbs of light, which then enveloped their entire bodies. Strange changes began to appear on their bodies.

"Um……"

Shiroshima was the first to react. She felt as if she were completely enveloped by some warm power, and the wounds inside and outside her body were gradually being repaired under the influence of this power.

Could this feeling be...?

A man's face flashed through her mind, and she slowly opened her eyes. When she looked through the light that enveloped her and saw Xia Mu across from her, who was wearing a warm smile, she was immediately enveloped by a strong sense of security.

“Ms. Natsuki…you’re finally…back…”

Not only Shiroshima, but also Rika, Mai, Miyamoto Rei, and Nanako gradually regained consciousness under the influence of the light. Looking at those familiar faces, a hint of joy unconsciously appeared on each of their faces.

"That's great... It's Natsuki... Teacher..."

"Xiamu..."

"I knew it... Teacher Natsuki... he would definitely come back..."

"Big Brother Xia Mu..."

It wasn't until this moment that Kato Yuri seemed to snap out of her heavy emotions. Looking at Nanako, whose face had regained its blush, she couldn't help but cover her lips. When she turned around and saw Natsuki, she rushed straight towards the man!

"Xia Mu! That's great! You're finally back!"

In an instant, a warm fragrance enveloped him. Feeling Kato Yuri's sobs, Natsuki was still somewhat taken aback, especially seeing a woman in the distance, bathed in light, looking at him with a rather complicated expression. He instantly realized what was happening and quickly pushed Kato Yuri away, then awkwardly said, "Miss Yuri, please don't get agitated. This isn't the time for this. Look around..."

Reminded by Natsuki, Kato Yuri seemed to realize what had happened. When she looked around, a bright barrier completely isolated the many ghosts. Even though it had lost half of its body, the ghost that was still roaring and trying to force its way in front of everyone turned pale instantly.

"What...what's going on?"

Natsuki looked at Sayuri, and the girl immediately understood. She took a few steps forward and protected Kato Yuri and Mikiko behind her before nodding to Natsuki. Although she had seen Kato Yuri clinging to Natsuki not long ago and couldn't help but feel envious, as a qualified "good wife," she quickly corrected her posture.

"Teacher Xia Mu, please leave them to me!"

The current enhanced version of [Holy Light Healing] has changed from a one-on-one mode to a one-to-many mode, but it will still take some time to fully heal their injuries.

Of course, this is also related to the girls' physical condition. If they were ordinary people, it wouldn't take too long, but since the girls obtained the power of holy light, their physical condition has been greatly enhanced, making it difficult to fully heal them. In addition, the injuries they just suffered were enough to kill an ordinary human dozens or hundreds of times. Even Nanako, who was the least injured, would need at least several minutes to fully recover, let alone Shiroshima and the others who were completely at the center of the attack.

In addition, the duration of the [Sacred Barrier] is not infinite. After the impact just now, the outer perimeter of the barrier is gradually shrinking, and the light on its surface has become slightly dimmer. It is certain that if this continues for a while, the barrier will probably not be able to hold on!

At the same time, Sayuri saw what Natsuki was thinking and took on the task of protecting everyone. Although the Holy Light power had not fully recovered, it would only hold them off for a short time and would not be too strenuous. The more important reason was that among their group, only Natsuki had the qualifications to face the forbidden species and even defeat it!

"Okay, it's up to you!"

Xia Mu patted the girl's hair with satisfaction, then, as if remembering something, ruffled it again, just like he had done before, which made Sayuri look surprised.

Before she could say anything, the man had already turned around, holy light wings emerging from his back, and a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He flew straight toward the location of the three forbidden creatures!

boom!

The astonishing number of dangerous species may seem terrifying, but they are ultimately still below the level of forbidden species. Their accumulated soul power cannot even reach the strength of the weakest forbidden species!

Therefore, Xia Mu has set his sights on those three forbidden ghosts. Only by completely eliminating them can the current stalemate be broken!

Roar! ! !

A dangerous creature that had broken through the barrier noticed Xia Mu's presence and staggered over. Xia Mu ignored it and, after passing by its body, tore the creature's body apart, turning it into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing.

“Xia Mu…Teacher…”

For some reason, as Sayuri watched the man's departing figure, a strong sense of insecurity rose in her heart. However, since he had already gone far away, she could only forcefully suppress that insecurity.

"Sayuri, since you promised Natsuki-sensei, then do your best to complete the mission! And Natsuki-sensei... he can definitely do it!!!"

……

Chapter 308 Battle on Both Sides

Swah——

Xia Mu burst out from the sacred barrier, and in that instant, a terrifying number of dangerous species ghosts approached, including several ghosts whose soul power had reached the limit of dangerous species!

However, he merely snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with light, and his fist shimmering with intense holy light, forming a sphere filled with violent energy, which he then swung out in the next second!

boom!!!

An indescribably violent attack instantly annihilated dozens of dangerous ghost creatures, clearing a vacuum in the space in front of him. And he finally saw the three forbidden ghost creatures standing in front of him again!

It must be said that at the level of forbidden species, there seems to be a certain gap in their strength. In Xia Mu's perception, the Bloodwing Giant's soul power is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by the white skeleton whose arm was cut off by it, and finally the forbidden species ghost in dragon form.

Even so, the dragon-shaped forbidden species ranked last was still much stronger than the forbidden species that attacked Natsuki in Chiba Prefecture. From Natsuki's perspective, the soul power of the dangerous species was like a firefly in the dark, while the existence of the forbidden species could be described as the sun. These were two beings at completely different levels of life!

"However, that's all there is to it!"

Xia Mu chuckled, completely ignoring the threat posed by the three forbidden ghosts. In a flash, he arrived in front of the skeleton!
