I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod

However, compared to the Cursed Spirit Yigu, Hei Musi seemed mediocre. When the Rotten Life Blade slashed through Rika's arm, the originally mild-mannered Cursed Spirit Yigu instantly went berserk. He shouted Rika's name and rushed towards Hei Musi like a madman, tearing him to pieces.

The last vestiges of Zhou Ling Yi Gu's sanity vanished completely. He screamed madly, continuing to whip the corpse even after Hei Mu Si had been torn to pieces.

Seeing this, Rika couldn't help but smile. The fact that the cursed spirit, Yigu, couldn't bear to see her injured made Rika genuinely happy, a happiness that even overshadowed the pain in her arm.

"It's alright, Yuta, come back."

Rika spoke softly, and the cursed spirit, Yigu, turned around. He stared at the glaring bloodstain on Rika's arm, looking helpless like a child:

"I'm sorry, Rika, I... I didn't protect you... Rika, Rika..."

The cursed spirit Yigu lowered his head, not even daring to look Rika in the eye. To him, letting Rika get hurt was tantamount to betraying Rika's trust in him.

As he blamed himself for this, a gentle hand touched his cheek, and there was Rika's gentle smile.

"It's alright, Yuta. It's just a minor injury. I'll talk to Ms. Shoko later... Thank you, it's so good to have you."

Upon hearing this, the self-reproach and unease of the cursed spirit Yigu vanished instantly. The ring of eyes around the edge of its chrysanthemum-shaped head stared at Rika, and it burst into a sound of surprise:

"That's great! That's great, Rika! I love you the most!!!"

Rika smiled and didn't continue. After killing Kuromu, the only enemy left was Shiliulong.

Because the journey of death and rebirth has not truly begun, the sorcery world is unaware of the information about the ancient sorcerers' collective physical resurrection. They simply regard these suddenly appearing sorcerers as curse masters hiding in the shadows.

The way to deal with curse masters is certainly not to win them over, but to kill them outright.

Rika followed the fluctuations of the cursed power, preparing to find and kill the Stone Dragon as instructed, but before she could, an unfamiliar cursed power approached her on its own, and at an extremely fast speed.

By the time Rika realized something was wrong, it was already too late. A blue-haired man with a bun hairstyle and holding an iron rod-shaped cursed tool had already appeared not far in front of her. He stood there quietly, without emitting any malice, but his sharp aura had already locked onto Rika and the cursed spirit, Yigu.

Rika was taken aback when she saw the person. She had just sensed the fluctuations of this person's magical power, but now, this person was right in front of her.

[This guy is strong; we can't fight him head-on...]

Rika thought this way, and her thoughts were brought to the forefront by the following words.

"I can sense... you are very strong, I want to fight you."

Lu Ziyun unilaterally declared the start of this battle with Rika, giving her no chance to accept or refuse, his body crackling with azure lightning.

Chapter 130: Lu Ziyunyi vs Lixiang

Rika had no intention of fighting Lu Ziyun. Judging from the lightning surrounding her and the immense magical power she possessed, she knew she was no match for Lu Ziyun.

However, this battle was not led by Rika from the beginning. When she had thought of her words and was about to persuade Lu Ziyun to fight another day, Lu Ziyun suddenly burst into a burst of lightning.

Rika didn't see anything clearly. She only heard a "boom" and the figures of Cursed Spirit Bone and Deer Purple Cloud clashed instantly. In the process of testing each other, they both retreated several steps.

Rika's pupils contracted; although she didn't know what had just happened, she couldn't help but feel a chill.

[So fast! I couldn't see his movements clearly!]

Rika looked at Lu Ziyun, only to see him calmly flick his wrist, his gaze shifting from her to the Cursed Spirit Bone, his brow furrowing:

"Shikigami? No, it's a cursed spirit. It can actually keep up with my speed... Among the opponents I've faced these past few days, you're quite competent."

Rika didn't think this was a compliment; it only meant one thing: Lu Ziyun was about to use her full strength.

So Rika, disregarding the negotiations, hurriedly called out:

"Youta!"

Upon hearing this, the cursed spirit Yigu, who had just shielded Lixiang from Lu Ziyun's attack, cried out:

"Rixiang? Lixiang, Lixiang!"

With its gaping maw wide open, its eyes locked onto the composed Lu Ziyun not far away. With a sudden lunge, it slapped at Lu Ziyun with a claw.

Snapped!

This claw strike was powerful and heavy, creating a large, spiderweb-like crater in the concrete ground. And Lu Ziyun? With his sharp reflexes, he leaped out of the attack range before the attack arrived.

His eyes lingered between Rika and the cursed spirit Yigu, his scrutinizing gaze sending chills down Rika's spine.

Rika summoned the cursed spirit Otsukotsu back to her side. Facing this man who made her feel uneasy, she asked:

What exactly do you want to do?

Lu Ziyun did not answer the question. He maintained a certain distance from Lixiang, searching for an opening while saying:

"You seem to have a close relationship with this cursed spirit. If we make some kind of pact between you and kill you, the cursed spirit will lose its support and will soon dissipate."

But this is so boring.

Upon hearing this, Rika's pupils dilated. She understood the meaning behind Lu Ziyun's words: he intended to defeat the Cursed Spirit Yigu right in front of her.

Li Xiang didn't say much, but looked at Zhou Ling Yi Gu. Zhou Ling Yi Gu immediately understood her meaning and transformed into a white afterimage, rushing towards Lu Zi Yun.

However, compared to Lu Ziyun, Zhou Lingyi was too slow. His attack not only failed to hit Lu Ziyun, but Lu Ziyun also used the iron rod to grab his arm.

The power of lightning surged, and with a soft "plop," the arm of the cursed spirit Yi Gu was forcibly severed.

"Youta?!"

Upon seeing this, Rika cried out anxiously. At this moment, she had already put the idea of ​​hiding her abilities behind her back. For the sake of the cursed spirit Yigu, she almost immediately used the spell [Falling in Love].

The moment the spell was activated, Lu Ziyun, who was locked in combat with the Cursed Spirit Yigu, was momentarily stunned. Although she quickly regained her senses, the Cursed Spirit Yigu keenly caught this opening.

boom!

With a punch from Zhou Ling Yi Gu, Lu Zi Yun was sent flying backward, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop. He scrambled to his feet, a hint of displeasure at being ambushed on his face.

Just as the lightning surged, he suddenly felt a warmth on the tip of his nose. When he touched it, his fingertips were covered in bright red blood.

This time, Lu Ziyun was stunned, even longer than when Li Xiang used [Falling in Love]. He slowly looked at Li Xiang and the cursed spirit Yi Gu, his dissatisfaction replaced by approval:

"You're quite something that can make me bleed..."

Lu Ziyun paused, then stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from his nose. His gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Are you ready for an explosion?"

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Rika thought that the next part would trigger a scene like "I acknowledge you," and then the battle would naturally end.

However, the second half of the sentence immediately alerted Rika. Knowing how fast Lu Ziyun was, she quickly called out:

"Youta!"

Upon hearing Rika's call, the cursed spirit Yigu arrived in front of her almost immediately, but this level of defense was not enough in front of Lu Ziyun.

He tossed the iron rod into the air, then kicked the end of it. The next second, the iron rod shot out, pinning the remaining hand of the cursed spirit Yi Gu to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he arrived in front of the cursed spirit Yigu and punched it dozens of meters away until it crashed into a water tower before finally stopping.

Splash...

Water poured out of the water tower, and the cursed spirit Yigu struggled to get up, but his injuries prevented him from making any effective movements; he could only keep calling out:

"Li Xiang... Li Xiang..."

Upon seeing this, Rika's face paled in shock, and she looked at Lu Ziyun with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

"What did you do to You Tai?!"

These words were almost roared out, and the concern in them made Lu Ziyun turn his head involuntarily. He rubbed his wrist and explained:

"He's fine. My lightning spell paralyzed his body. He'll be fine in a while."

With that, Lu Ziyun did not continue his attack on Zhouling Yigu or Lixiang. He simply picked up the iron rod, left with the words "I won," and left the battlefield without looking back.

Seeing this, Rika thought that Lu Ziyun was going to take advantage of her relaxation to launch another sneak attack, so she maintained a defensive posture. But it wasn't until Lu Ziyun disappeared from sight that she belatedly realized that Lu Ziyun was really gone.

[He just left like that? He showed up and started fighting without any reason, then left without doing anything afterward. What was he fighting for?]

Rika had this question in her mind, but before she could come up with an answer, the wailing of the cursed spirit Yigu immediately brought her back to her senses.

Seeing the Cursed Spirit Yigu stuck in the water tower, unable to move, Rika was startled and quickly stepped forward to check on the Cursed Spirit Yigu's injuries.

After looking around, Lu Ziyun noticed that there were many burn marks on the body of the Cursed Spirit Bone. It was obvious that Lu Ziyun had held back, otherwise she could have killed the Cursed Spirit Bone while it was paralyzed.

But he didn't; he simply fought, nothing more.

"What a weirdo..."

Rika sighed. By this time, the paralysis of the Cursed Spirit Yigu had been lifted. After recovering from his injuries, he shrank in size and sobbed in Rika's arms because of his defeat in the battle.

Rika gently soothed him with her hands. She wouldn't go anywhere until she had calmed down the cursed spirit, Yigu. Let the mission go to hell.

But precisely because of this, the sorcerer's mysterious crows easily found Rika. She initially thought they were there to share information, but the note in the crow's claws contained the following:

[The cursed spirit within the Tokyo Second Barrier has been exorcised by a sorcerer. According to information provided by Lord Tengen, the sorcerer has blue hair, wears white robes, and wields an iron rod. He is currently located within the Sendai Barrier; we should try to win him over.]

Upon seeing this message, Rika paused for half a second, then sighed:

"This description...it's him? This is troublesome..."

Chapter 131: Lu Ziyun vs. Shi Liulong

After parting ways with Rika, Lu Ziyun did not stop. He continued to exorcise cursed spirits along the way, heading towards the ancient sorcerer who made no attempt to conceal the fluctuations of his cursed power.

Shi Liulong stood atop a tower, gazing down at the figure with blue hair and white clothes, a smile spreading across his lips.

To be honest, the reason he signed the contract with Suo was to fight Su Nuo after being resurrected. However, before he even met Su Nuo, he encountered Lu Ziyun first.

As a powerful figure living in the same era as Lu Ziyun, Shi Liulong had heard of the renowned name of [Thunder God], but unfortunately, due to the underdeveloped transportation at the time and Lu Ziyun's advanced age, the battle between the two remained just a pipe dream.

"I never expected to see you here..."

Shi Liulong sighed with emotion. Upon seeing the strongest sorcerer of the Edo period, he quickly became excited. The airplane-shaped nozzle on his head glowed blue. After aiming, he unleashed a powerful cannon of sorcery, which flew towards Lu Ziyun at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, Lu Ziyun had just exorcised a level one curse spirit and was feeling the immense curse power rushing towards her. She turned her head and saw a blue light getting closer and closer.

He was about to dodge, but feeling the immense power of the curse, his right foot, which he had just raised, inexplicably returned to its original position. At the same time, he gripped the iron rod, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and the next second, a loud "boom" resounded.

The moment the two sides made contact, Lu Ziyun was like a kite with a broken string, smashed into the building behind her by the cannon of cursed power. The shockwave shattered the building's glass, which crashed to the ground.

“Interesting… This technique is purely an output of magical power.”

After taking the attack head-on, Lu Ziyun was slightly disheveled, but otherwise unharmed. He stood at the edge of the building, looking in the direction from which the spell cannon had come.

At this moment, a large number of shells trailed blue flames in the sky, like shooting stars streaking across the sky, and their target was none other than Lu Ziyun.

Faced with this scene, Lu Ziyun was not nervous at all, but became more and more excited. Having tasted the effects of these attacks, he would not take them. Now, the barrage of cursed energy projectiles would not be able to touch him at all.
