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

Danger!Danger!Danger!

Long-standing battles have given them a monstrous intuition; when faced with danger, their instincts will warn them that the creature before them is a monster.

But now, an unprecedented danger rises from the depths of their hearts, engulfing them like a tidal wave, and their gaze changes unintentionally.

"...Tadayuki."

Abe Masatsugu spoke with a slight tremor.

"This old guy's strength is far greater than we imagined!"

It wasn't out of fear, but rather a reaction of the body's instincts.

For someone like Abe Masataka to experience such an instinctive tremor... Minamoto no Tsunekichi has exceeded their expectations!

"No matter how strong they are, it's not a reason for us to back down. Before we came, we were prepared to die."

“I know… I will hold him off. I will not let him leave here until they defeat the evil god!”

"Go, Chung-xing!"

"what!"

......

While Kamo no Tadayuki and Abe no Masatsugu were prepared to die and engaged in a fierce battle with Minamoto no Tsunemoto, the rest of the group had already arrived above the Genji Shrine under the leadership of Shimizu no Asahi.

The moment they reached the sky, countless terrifying attacks rained down like raindrops.

They want to open a direct path to the altar!

Surprisingly, the attacks of many powerful individuals were intercepted in mid-air!

"This is... a barrier?"

Looking at the semi-transparent barrier enveloping the ancestral hall, everyone frowned.

Before they could process much, a calm yet powerful voice reached their ears.

“The ancestral hall is the foundation of our clan, and there must be no mistakes. Why did you attack my Genji ancestral hall right away?”

"Whether you're a yokai or an onmyoji, you're all too arrogant!"

Below, the tightly closed ancestral hall gate slowly opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in armor, with endless coldness in his eyes, walked out.

No, he wasn't alone; behind him were nine other elderly men, also dressed in armor.

They stood at the gate, their gazes coldly fixed on the group of Qingshui Chaoyang above.

"Yuan Manzhong... and all the elders... I see, so you plan to intercept us here?"

The head of the Fujiwara family revealed the identity of the leader, and at the same time, he couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, Minamoto no Mitsunaka and the nine elders of the Minamoto clan are extremely powerful beings. With a lineup of ten great yokai, everyone except the yokai king would have to be wary of them.

But now, they have dozens of such people on their side.

Minamoto no Mitsunaka's attempt to stop them was nothing short of delusional! Chapter 468 (Chapter 465): Get out of the way, it's Amaterasu's turn!

"Gentlemen, leave this to us. Although we may not be their match, we can still stop them."

"Evil God, I'm entrusting this to you!"

Among the many powerful figures, ten demons stepped forward.

Looking down at Minamoto no Manaka and the others, they took on the responsibility of dealing with them.

The reason for placing Minamoto no Mitsunaka and the elders of the Minamoto clan here is quite simple: it is not to protect the shrine, but to weaken their power!

Admittedly, ancestral halls are very important places, but as long as the clan exists, ancestral halls can be continuously revived. Therefore, the victory in this war is more important than the ancestral hall.

Although they could work together to forcibly kill them, Yuan Manzhong and the others who obtained the power of the evil god were by no means easy to deal with. They may not have reached the level of the Demon King, but their strength may not be much weaker than that of the Demon King.

The cost of killing them would be too high; they couldn't afford it.

Therefore, leaving ten people to stop them is the best option.

As for which ten people will be left behind, they will inevitably be the weakest among them.

After all, this is the method to weaken their strength in the least amount of time.

The ten people who stepped forward did so because they understood this principle.

They are demonstrating their determination through their actions!

"...Then I'll leave it to you!"

The head of the Fujiwara family looked at the ten great demons, remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded firmly!

"Everyone, let's break through this barrier and then rush in!"

After Kamo no Tadashi's departure, the Fujiwara clan head took over the command of the team. As soon as he finished speaking, the numerous yokai and onmyoji gathered their power and blasted towards the barrier below without hesitation.

With some preparation, everyone's power was focused on the same spot, and naturally, faced with this indescribable power, the seemingly solid barrier instantly shattered into pieces!

"The current head of the Genji clan, huh? Let me see how much of Genji's strength you have!"

"Haha, then we'll leave Elder Genji to us!"

The ten demons transformed into shooting stars and arrived in front of Minamoto no Manaka and the others without hesitation. Their swift and powerful attack immediately blocked all their movements and cleared a path for Shimizu Asahi and the others!

Clenching their fists, and after glancing at the ten monsters engaged in a chaotic battle, Shimizu Asahi and his group immediately smashed the ancestral hall, revealing the dark passageway to the surface.

He shouted, "Everyone, let's go!"

Like a ray of light, Shimizu Asahi and the others rushed into the passage. After passing through a short period of darkness, they finally arrived in the underground space.

"Is this the altar of the evil god?"

"To carve out such a space underground, truly worthy of the Minamoto clan!"

The group, arriving at the altar for the first time, were attracted by its features, but that was all.

After a gasp of amazement, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the very center of the altar, beneath the enormous statue!

The silent evil god stood on the altar, gently stroking the snake head beside him, his purple eyes revealing endless coldness.

It's like looking at a dead person!

"Hehehe... What an amazing lineup."

"I never imagined that mere humans could gather such power."

"It seems I won't be too bored tonight."

"Boring? Is it just entertainment? We've really been underestimated."

The Lord of the Sea Kingdom narrowed his eyes, and the golden eight-tomoe sword sliced ​​through space without warning. Its boundless power, like a sharp blade, arrived before the Yamata no Orochi in an instant.

However, a venomous snake floating beside the evil god swiftly darted out, opened its massive jaws, and bit down hard—the invisible impact was instantly shattered!

"!??"

His pupils constricted involuntarily, and Ōtakemaru stared at the scene in utter astonishment.

How could his attack be so easily countered by that venomous snake?

How is that possible?!

"Not bad attack, much stronger than Shimizu Asahi from three hundred years ago, but... your synergy with the Yasakani no Magatama doesn't seem to be very good."

Even though you have obtained the artifact's recognition as your master, you have not been able to fully unleash its power.

"On the contrary, three hundred years ago, he had complete control over the power of the divine artifact."

The evil god narrowed his eyes slightly, his casual smile conveying absolute truth, but Ōtakemaru also saw a hint of mockery in it.

Compared to Ootakemaru, who had advanced to the level of a demon king, he was clearly more wary of Shimizu Asahi, who had completely mastered the power of the divine artifact.

"..."

"Indeed, I haven't mastered its full power yet, but... it's enough to deal with you!"

"An interesting answer, I'll be waiting for you to give me more fun."

"But before that..."

The evil god's gaze shifted, and his purple, cold pupils reflected the figure of the black-haired boy.

He gave a cold laugh.

"It's time to keep our promise, little one."

"Or are you planning to break this agreement?"

"Since I've agreed, I won't back down. I'll keep my promise, and then... I'll beat you once again!"

Asahi Shimizu calmly stood among the crowd, his dark eyes meeting those of the evil god.

"...Mio, do you really intend to let Asahi and the evil god fulfill their promise?"

Behind him, Tamamo-no-Mae looked at the resolute Shimizu Asahi and frowned involuntarily.

Tamamo-no-Mae wasn't actually worried about this battle, since he knew Mio's identity very well. As long as Mio was there, the war would definitely not be lost. Therefore, the agreement between Shimizu Asahi and the evil god could be disregarded.

They don't need to play this boring game with the evil god.

“I never intended for him to take any risks in the first place.”

"It's time for this game to come to an end."

Mio didn't want Asahi to know her identity. Although she believed that Asahi would still treat her the same way after knowing her identity, she still had some worries in her heart. Just like she had confidence in Shimizu Asahi, but she was still worried when he took risks. Therefore, she never dared to say it.

But now that things have developed to this point, she can no longer stop the evil god silently.

The exposure of their identities became inevitable.

Since her identity was going to be exposed anyway, she no longer needed to follow the rules of the game.

A chilling divine power emanated from Shimizu Mio's body. She quietly approached Shimizu Asahi and shielded him behind her.

"elder sister?"

Shimizu Asahi looked at her older sister with a hint of confusion in her expression.

"Chaoyang, there's something I've never told you. I've never been worried about this war from the very beginning."
