"What have you done to this body??"

"Why can't I use any strength at all?"

Dong Wenyu opened his eyes wide, his stunned expression seemed real. He retorted in surprise: "What are you talking about? I chose it exactly according to your requirements. This body can definitely bear your power temporarily!"

A feeling of dizziness kept surging in Shuten-doji's heart. His whole body was limp, like a drunkard, staggering and unable to stand steadily.

It is true that Shuten-doji is a drunkard, but he cannot get drunk.

There is only one answer: there is something wrong with this body, and it is a big problem.

He was already mad at Dong Wenyu's stupidity. He thought Dong Wenyu would play dirty tricks, but in his opinion, he had to make sure that he and Uesugi Kiyoshi fought to a draw, and then Dong Wenyu would attack again.

He played like this right from the start. Once he got angry, he retreated directly to the dream world. Everyone went their separate ways and he didn't lose anything.

But Dong Wenyu is doomed to die.

Dong Wenyu saw that Shuten-doji didn't seem to be acting at all, and he felt confused. He did make some adjustments, but they weren't methods that would work so quickly.

He said stubbornly: "Do I have any reason to lie to you? I'm already like this!"

"Your Excellency Ghost King, if you don't take action now, we will all be doomed today!"

Just then, a somewhat sarcastic sneer came from a corner.

Everyone present looked around and suddenly saw someone who shouldn't be here.

Dong Wenyu's trusted subordinate, Suzuki Hidema.

He led Uesugi Kiyoshi and his group to the sacrifice room, but did not take advantage of the chaos to escape. Instead, he found a secluded corner and observed the battle with great interest.

Now, he even laughed out loud.

"Master Yu is really a forgetful person. You personally ordered me to plant the [Soul-stealing Incense] in this body in order to control Shuten-doji and seal his soul into this body so that he cannot escape. Have you forgotten?"

"I spent a lot of effort to buy a little bit of soul-stealing incense from those Yin-Yang masters."

Before Suzuki Hidema could continue, Shuten-doji spoke angrily.

"impossible!"

"Even if it's the soul-stealing incense that the son of the white fox personally mixed, it can't lock my soul!"

"It's even more impossible for me to not be able to use any of my strength!!"

Suzuki Hidema laughed lightly and shook his head slowly.

"I know."

“So, I changed the ingredients.”

"Before this body was brought here, I fed him a full pot of [Shenben Devil Poison Wine]. Lord Shuten, you are not unfamiliar with this stuff, right?"

Almost at the same time, Shuten Douji and Dong Wenyu's expressions changed.

"Kamiben Demon Poison Wine" is a poisonous wine that the legendary general Minamoto no Raikou used to make young boys drunk and then cut off their limbs and heads. This wine has no effect on mortals, and if demons drink it, even if they have a drinking capacity as large as a river or sea, they will become drunk and unconscious.

Just like Shuten-doji now.

"Suzuki Hidema! You betrayed me?!"

"Ten years ago, when you were twenty years old, you were just a small gangster. I saw your ability, promoted you, and gave you endless wealth and glory. Why did you betray me?"

"Have you ever thought about what you would be like without me?!"

Dong Wenyu's face was full of disbelief, and he was breathing heavily. His original smug smile and pretended panic all turned into anger, which quietly emerged on his fat face covered with fat.

Suzuki Hidema faced Dong Wenyu's angry gaze and questioning, and his smile became more and more outrageous.

"Master Yu, have you ever thought about why I, who you say is very capable and takes care of most of your chores, was just a small fry in the beginning? And why did you happen to take a fancy to me?"

"Is this a coincidence?"

Dong Wenyu's expression froze.

Suzuki Hidema let out a strange chuckle, his shoulders shaking constantly as if he was trying hard to hold back a smile, but the expression on his face became more and more crazy and happy.

"When I was ten years old, this worthless life was saved by Lord Jue. Without him, I would have died long ago! After training me for two years, he let me leave his side and become a hidden chess piece for future use."

"I was in a little-known gang for eight years, and finally you took my fancy to me. I rose to become your right-hand man."

"It's been ten years since I got to where I am now."

"Do you know how I have lived these past ten years?"

A hint of murderous intent rippled from the corners of Suzuki Hidema's mouth and turned into a cold smile.

"I want to tear you into pieces all the time for plotting a rebellion against Lord Jue!!"

"For the sake of Lord Jue's plan, I endured it."

"Why, do you think you can hide from Lord Kaku the fact that you asked your men to worship the statue of Shuten-doji and even built a secret room in the headquarters?"

"He just wants you to feel proud for a few days!"

"I am the sharp blade that will end your life. I am the chess piece that Lord Jue left behind to take one step toward becoming the general!"

"The Godly Ghost Poison Wine was found by Lord Jue. It is the real thing. There is no need to struggle!"

"This is the nemesis of the demon god called Shuten!"

"Dong Wenyu, you lose!"

Suzuki Hidema turned around suddenly, walked a few steps to Touwen Maki, and knelt on the ground like a golden mountain overturning a jade pillar.

He took out a palm-sized seal from his arms, raised it with both hands, and presented it to Dongwen Maki.

"Miss, please take the seal!"

"This is something Lord Jue left for you! I have been keeping it to prevent it from being taken away by Dong Wenyu!"

"Now, return the property to its original owner!"

"Master Jue once said that this item contains the heroic spirit of the Sixth Heaven Demon King. If the Ghost King Shuten has any hidden tricks up his sleeve, we can use our spiritual power to detonate this martial arts seal to stop his attack."

"After taking over the body of the God-Benevolent Ghost, Shuten-Doji will not have the strength to continue fighting!"

Not to mention Toufu Maki, even Uesugi Kiyoshi was stunned by this sudden change.

He subconsciously turned his gaze to Kudo Yuichi.

This "detective" has the ability to discern people's hearts and recognize lies.

The response he got was Kudo Yuichi nodding slightly in disbelief.

Are these words true? ?

Sure enough, it is impossible for Dong Wenjue to leave his daughter without leaving anything.

Shuten-doji gritted his teeth and swept the crowd with a cold gaze, as if he wanted to memorize the faces of everyone present. Then, the body fell down weakly, and the jade statue showed countless dense cracks and collapsed with a loud bang.

He gave up.

The Ghost King of Dajiang Mountain has always been brave, but he will not stay here to die and face inevitable failure. Now he is not even as good as a mortal.

The ghost king's soul returns to the dream mirror.

The invisible barrier above the courtyard that blocked the rain disappeared, and heavy rain poured down like a waterfall, washing away the bloodstains on the ground.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke breathed a sigh of relief, put away the black jade cane, walked to the side of Uesugi Kiyoshi with a relaxed smile, and patted his shoulder gently.

"Congratulations, Uesugi-kun, we won."

"it's all over."

Uesugi Qing's eyebrows jumped, and there was no happiness on his face at all.

"I'm new here and don't know the rules. Excuse me, but is this how all collectors associations operate?"

“Is this the end?”

Akutagawa Ryunosuke instantly understood what Uesugi Kiyoshi said, and he shook his head helplessly.

"It's like this, Uesugi-kun, we don't have a truly effective way to directly eliminate demons and gods right now."

"Eliminate their believers, clip their wings, kill the mystics and the bodies of ghosts and gods under their command, cut off the medium that connects them to the real world, and make them retreat into the dream mirror. This is the most common method we use to deal with ghosts and gods now."

"Although I am reluctant to say this, this is all we can do."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's face was as calm as still water, with no change in his expression. He said nothing, but walked around the courtyard, bent down, and turned over the corpse on the ground without saying a word.

Dong Wen Maki was whispering something with Suzuki Hidema, while staring at Dong Wenyu with a vigilant look to prevent him from escaping.

Li Fuyao had a gentle smile on his face and walked slowly towards Ye San.

Rin Kamiizumi hummed a little unhappily, but didn't complain about anything.

No one bothered Uesugi Kiyoshi.

However, as he moved, the expression on his face became more and more awful.

There were probably hundreds of corpses in the small yard. They were thrown into the corners casually like sacks of goods, stacked up on top of each other, with only bright red blood constantly flowing out.

After walking around, Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression had become frighteningly ugly.

At this moment, a sudden feeling of dizziness came over him. Half a meter in front of him, in the void, a small crack suddenly appeared and slowly expanded.

In a trance, it seemed as if there was a huge mountain blocking the way in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

The sky is a beautiful and strange purple, the sun is a dazzling blood red, and a towering and steep mountain lies before the eyes. There are gusts of cold wind on the mountain, and there are also green seedlings, red leaves, and a rolling sea of ​​clouds.

At the foot of the mountain, there stands a boundary marker.

"Big Country"!

Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart trembled, and he immediately realized that this was a ghost town!

The dream world of the Lord of the Rivers and Mountains!

The next second, his mind became clear, the illusion in front of him turned into smoke and dissipated, and he returned to the courtyard again.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke pointed a finger at his forehead, looking a little anxious.

Seeing that he had regained consciousness, I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat relieved.

"This is a crack in the dream mirror created by Shuten Douji. He is inviting you to fall into his world."

"I said before that this invitation can be rejected, Uesugi-kun. As long as you use your mind and insist on [rejecting] this belief, you won't be deeply trapped in it. This method of forcibly pulling people into the dream mirror world is generally not applicable to extraordinary people."
