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

A mocking and wicked tone fell from the sky and reached the girl's ears.

His handsome brows furrowed, and his disgusting words annoyed the girl.

Then, the surging demonic power transformed into terrifying cold air that swept in all directions, and the violent, biting wind enveloped the entire village in the blink of an eye.

Kill these monsters first, then go and take down that guy who annoys her!

Without hesitation, Qingnvfang acted decisively and resolutely!

However, as if sensing the girl's thoughts, the teasing voice rang out again.

"Oh, I forgot to remind you, none of the villagers here are dead. They were just transformed into this state by my demonic power. In other words... if you kill them, you will be the direct murderer."

The girl was startled, and her hand stopped moving because of those words.

But the next moment, the wind picked up again.

Although Qingnvfang dislikes humans, she would not kill them on her own initiative. If these villagers are really still alive as the shopkeeper said, then she naturally would not kill them.

However, to ensure that the villagers wouldn't get in the way, she had to freeze them all.

Whether the villagers live or die, the outcome will not change in the slightest.

In just a few breaths, everyone in the village turned into ice sculptures.

"Oh... what a clever decision. This way, my little darlings won't be of any use."

Upon seeing the ice sculpture world, the shop owner exclaimed in amazement.

"There's no other way, we have to do it this way."

Under the moonlight, the monster's lips curled up uncontrollably, madness and mockery appearing on its face, and then... it snapped its fingers lightly.

"boom!"

Just like pressing a bomb switch, a clear explosion rang out.

Attracted by the sound of the explosion, the girl immediately turned her head, and then, shock appeared in her eyes—a villager who had just been frozen in time... had turned into a pool of blood and flesh in an instant!

"Hehe, they all have my demonic energy within them, so naturally, their lives are in my hands. If they are still useful, I will definitely keep them, but if they are no longer useful, then there is no need to keep them."

"You're right, aren't you, my compatriots!"

A sound like a demon's roar exploded in the sky, and wild laughter drifted far, far away.

And amidst the laughter, there were also sounds of explosions...

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Dozens of explosions rang out in succession, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of lives were lost before the girl's eyes.

Before long, the laughter stopped, and the explosions ceased. Qing Nufang stared silently at the pools of blood and flesh before her eyes.

In the sky, the demon's voice had not completely ceased; it stared at the girl with an expectant gaze.

"How about it, my fellow countrymen, watching these humans die, aren't you angry, furious, and want to kill me?"

"Don't suppress your emotions, just let them explode! Let me see your helpless madness, let me enjoy your anger!"

The roar and anticipation brought the girl back to her senses. She calmly turned around, her pale yellow gaze falling on the monster.

The madness and malice on his face intensified, and the monster roared, "Hehehe, yes, let me enjoy your... um!?"

However, the laughter stopped.

The madness and rage it imagined... did not materialize.

That delicate face remained calm.

"Aren't you angry? You saw this scene, so many people dying in front of you, aren't you angry?!"

An angry demon's face appeared, baring its fangs and claws as it questioned the calm girl.

The girl who was being questioned smiled, just as it had mocked her before.

"I am a monster, why should I care about the lives of humans?"

"I will not kill, nor will I be angry because of people. To me, they are just complete strangers."

The calm and matter-of-fact words startled the monster.

That's right, Qingnüfang is a yokai just like it, so it's perfectly normal for her to hate humans. Why would she think of threatening humans...? Wait, just now, wasn't she angry because of that onmyoji?

"I see, I see... Hahaha, so you only care about the person behind you, right?"

Who is he to you?

"Master? Husband? Friend?"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter anymore."

The monster laughed again, licking its lips with its tongue, emanating a nauseating black malice.

"Anyway, as long as I kill him, you'll scream in agony, right?"

"Hahaha... The next target is him!" Chapter 58: Monster, stay away from her!

The unbridled words carried far and wide through the quiet night sky. Above the ruins, the blue-haired girl's face was as cold as ice, and her pale yellow eyes revealed a chilling killing intent.

"You can give it a try."

"Hahaha, then try to stop me!"

With those arrogant and boastful words, the shopkeeper made a move.

And just as he finished speaking, before his voice had even fully faded, it disappeared.

They disappeared without warning.

The next moment, it appeared in front of Shimizu Asahi... as if time had jumped, so fast it was unimaginable.

"Haha, I'll take your life!"

The fist, wreathed in dark demonic power, was raised high, and then swung down without hesitation.

This punch was fierce, swift, and left no room for error.

If hit, Shimizu Asahi, who is already severely injured, will definitely die!

However, a chilling sound reached its ears at that moment.

"Stay away from him!"

Along with the piercing sound came an indestructible ice shield and incredibly sharp ice blades!

In an instant, a loud explosion rang out.

"boom!!!"

The deafening sound spread as a shockwave, stirring up a cloud of dust on the already dilapidated ground.

However, there was no joy in the girl's pale yellow eyes.

The attack missed... all the dozens of ice blades she had just conjured missed their mark!

This was her fastest attack speed, but she didn't expect it to all miss.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be able to react to my speed."

A voice carrying a hint of surprise rang out from all directions. Qing Nufang decisively retreated to stand in front of Qingshui Chaoyang, her eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

"But this is probably your limit. You can't keep up with my speed, and your attacks can't hit me. How can you protect that human like this?"

Before she could finish speaking, a bad feeling rose in the girl's heart. Almost instinctively, she swung her arm down—an ice shield appeared out of thin air, narrowly blocking the sudden attack.

The girl subconsciously clenched her teeth. This bastard was deliberately trying to distract her with words!

We need to think of a solution...

"!?"

Before her thoughts could fully process what was happening, the attack came again. The girl could only instinctively flail her arms and raise an ice shield.

This time, however, the rising ice shield did not melt—Qingnvfang condensed a huge ice cover, properly protecting Qingshui Chaoyang inside.

Not only that, the surface of the ice shield is also covered with extremely sharp ice needles. Anyone who dares to use their bare body to fight against this ice shield will pay the price!

"Indeed, this method can guarantee his safety for a short period of time, but..."

"boom!!!"

Terrifying demonic energy exploded on the ice cover like bombs, causing the sturdy ice shield to immediately shake.

"Since we can't use our fists, let's use our demonic power! Hehehe... Let's see who has more demonic power!"

Clusters of black flames bombarded the ice shield, and the explosive impact and destructive force caused cracks to appear in the ice shield within just two or three seconds.

"not good!"

With a soft cry, the girl immediately mobilized her demonic energy to reinforce the ice shield.

The explosions continued, and the directions of the attacks varied, leaving Qingnvfang with no choice but to stand still and passively defend.

However, as the offensive intensified, Qingnvfang felt the pressure.

Normally, she would be confident that she could out-suppress the shopkeeper in terms of demonic energy reserves, but now... she used most of her demonic energy to suppress her injuries. Unless that disgusting bastard with a perverse sense of humor deliberately held back, she would definitely lose!

Damn it!

The girl's expression turned ugly.

"Haha, what's wrong? Your expression is starting to make me happy."

The monster, noticing the change in the girl's expression, laughed; it laughed heartily.

"Looks like I'll be hearing the great demon's beautiful screams today!"

'We must find a way to block his movements...'

The girl took a deep breath and began to think of a way to break the deadlock.

Actually, it wasn't that she had no way to deal with it, it's just that... her demonic power wasn't enough.

Her limited demonic power prevented her from unleashing her true strength, and Shimizu Asahi was severely injured and unconscious, unable to offer any assistance...

'Looks like I'll have to risk it all again.'
