How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

Whether they are ghosts or demons, they are extremely sincere when it comes to their own feelings.

Just like the Asura Ghost King, the lord of the Ghost Realm, even though he kills people without hesitation, there are still people he would rather die himself than harm.

The two snake demons beneath the snake mound have supported each other for over three hundred years. Both Aobozu and Kyogoku Munemitsu have been wary of the male demon's existence. But now, this old woman claims that she ate her own husband!?

The aged face revealed endless malice. The ugly old woman was clearly smiling, but for some reason, what Shimizu Asahi and Aonobo saw was a chilling ruthlessness.

"Is this... the reason you're so strong? You ate your own husband and used his flesh and blood to enhance your own power..."

"There's nothing I can do about it. It's been three hundred years. This old woman has been here for three hundred years. There are no humans, no food, nothing but darkness. Nobody knows how this old woman has survived! You can't possibly understand the pain of being trapped in darkness!"

As if her sore spot had been touched, anger instantly flashed across the old woman's face.

"This old woman wants to go out, she wants to leave this place. This is not a place for an old woman!"

"However... the seal is very strong. Even if the old woman and it work together, they cannot break through the seal."

"So, this old woman needs to become stronger, strong enough to break through this seal... Ah, ah, there's no way, this old woman really has no way!"

It roared and howled, and your madness was tinged with a hint of helplessness.

It was as if she had been forced to eat her husband.

But in the next moment, the madness and roaring disappeared, replaced by infatuation and intoxication.

"Ah... I still remember its taste... Hehehe, you know what? I killed it bit by bit."

"Just like you humans, you gnaw on its raw flesh, suck its blood, and swallow it bit by bit under its gaze."

"That was the first time in three hundred years that I had ever felt full. I really have to thank it."

"......madman!"

The black-haired boy took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.

He's a madman, a complete and utter madman!

"A madman? That's the kind of description I like!"

"Yes, this old woman is crazy, driven mad by you humans!!!"

"Haha, this old woman has talked to you for so long, now it's your turn to play with this old woman!!"

With a roar, a powerful black aura swept out.

A storm formed from condensed energy began to ravage the seal, and the incredibly solid earth... no, the entire seal, began to shake!

Feeling the suffocating pressure, Qing Nufang suppressed the chill in her heart and then shouted loudly, "Watch out, the rising sun is coming!"

However, this shout came too late.

The moment the voice from Qingnv's room rang out, the madwoman vanished.

A chilling killing intent settled in their hearts, and a pervasive sense of danger filled their bodies. Their instincts told them that crisis was imminent!

The next second, a hoarse voice rang out in front of Shimizu Asahi.

The madwoman appeared before him, laughing loudly, her withered fingers transforming into sharp claws as she reached for Qing Shui Chaoyang.

"Little guy, come keep this old woman company!!" Chapter 162, Section 165: Caring for an Empty-Nest Old Snake

A powerful pressure swept over, and the chilling killing intent was suffocating. The madwoman laughed and stretched out her palm.

"..."

However, the sudden attack did not shake the black-haired boy's mind and body. Just as he had expected, he moved his feet and turned his body to the side, dodging the fatal blow in the blink of an eye.

At the same moment, pure and ultimate power resonated from Shimizu Asahi's body, and a clear, azure blade appeared out of thin air.

The next second, spiritual energy surged and water blades flew!

"Clang!!!"

A clear, sharp sound of blades rang out, and the flying water blades swept past the snake demon in an instant. However, the sharp blades, capable of cutting through steel, left no mark on its body.

"Hehehe, such attacks won't get to me! Come here, you good girl!"

The withered body remained motionless, and the madwoman actually stretched out her palm while bearing the sharp blade!

"If he can't hurt you, then what about me?"

A chilling, white aura swept in from behind it, like a monstrous wave, instantly engulfing its body.

Not daring to hold back in the slightest, Qing Nu Fang unleashed her full power from the very first move!

As the chill settled, she arrived before Qing Shui Chaoyang, where a delicate ice sculpture, frozen by the cold, came into view.

However, before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, a crack appeared in the rock-like ice sculpture without warning.

The tiny cracks produced a clear, melodious sound, while the cracks spread at a visible speed.

In the blink of an eye, the ice sculpture was swallowed by the crack, and then the hard, solidified ice shattered with a crash!

"Hahaha, not enough! Not enough! This power is far from sufficient!"

The madwoman, who had easily escaped, laughed again, and her powerful strength surged forth like a raging tide.

"Keep going! Again! Satisfy this old woman's desires properly!"

"Does this madman think we're toys?"

Clenching his teeth tightly, Shimizu Asahi raised his arm to shield himself, the violent airflow making it difficult for him to open his eyes.

Qing Nufang took a deep breath of cold air, and her flowing demonic power suddenly erupted.

She shielded herself from the storm while glancing at the boy.

"What should we do? We are no match for it now."

"We need to find a way to retreat; staying here will be dangerous..."

Without hesitation, Shimizu Asahi made the decision.

“I knew you’d say that.” The girl chuckled at the boy’s resolute decision. She looked back at the crazed snake demon and said, “We only have one chance. If we fail, we’ll just have to wait and recuperate for half a month.”

"Aren't you saying this to put pressure on me?"

"Without pressure, there's no motivation. Don't overlook anything, Master!"

"Of course!"

A faint smile appeared on his face. The boy narrowed his eyes and withdrew his gaze, focusing all his attention on the girl.

Although they had only known each other for two months, as mentioned before, they got along very well, and two months was enough for them to develop a deep understanding.

Therefore, he would never miss even the slightest opportunity.

"Hehe, what are you whispering about? Why don't you tell this old woman too?"

The crazed snake demon exuded a dark, demonic aura, and a terrifying, needle-like power enveloped the two of them. She raised her withered arm, and a huge, venomous snake, almost tangible, appeared.

The crimson venomous snake opened its bloody maw, hissed, and then thrust out fiercely!

"If you won't come, then this old woman will! Struggle yourselves before this old woman is satisfied!"

"My lovely humans!"

"..."

The crimson venomous snake surged mercilessly, its massive body carrying immense pressure, but Qing Nufang's gaze was fixed solely on the snake demon.

That was her goal, a goal that had to be stopped.

That roaring venomous snake is nothing but a beast; whether you care or not makes no difference.

And so... demonic power began to gather, and the chill began to spread, with extreme cold descending silently.

"Ok?"

The laughing snake demon seemed to sense something was wrong. It stopped its shrill cries and turned its gaze to the silent girl.

"This is...gathering demonic power in one place!?"

With a crazed and ferocious gaze, it saw through Qing Nufang's methods and almost instantly guessed her intentions.

"Trying to keep your wife under control like this? Don't even think about it!"

The madwoman took a step forward, her withered figure transforming into a ghostly apparition, and vanished from Qingnufang's sight in an instant.

However, it was slow.

Looking at the ugly old woman who flashed before her eyes, Qing Nufang sneered, as if mocking her sluggishness.

The next second, a burst of cold air erupted.

The biting cold air transformed into an endless storm, sweeping across the entire world in an instant. The madwoman closest to Qingnu's room was frozen solid with almost no power to resist.

At that very moment, Shimizu Asahi's eyes widened.

Almost simultaneously, he communicated with the seal, opened the passage, and grasped Qingnvfang's hand at the very moment the madwoman was frozen.

"go!"

Swift and decisive, spiritual energy enveloped demonic energy and penetrated the seal.

The extreme speed allowed the two to pass through the passage, and before the terrifying demonic power had completely dissipated, they returned to their original forms.

"!?"

As if waking from a nightmare, Shimizu Asahi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

The immense pressure he had just endured had already taken hold, and mental exhaustion was affecting his physical energy, causing his heavy breathing to begin to rise again.

"Are you alright, Qing Nufang?"

After catching his breath, the boy looked at the girl beside him.

Unlike him, who was visibly exhausted, Qing Nufang maintained a calm and composed expression even after exhausting her demonic power.

"fine."

Qingnu shook her head slightly.

"Junior brother, Qing Nufang, you're back? How are you? Are you alright?"
