"He is powerful and terrifying. He commands at least tens of thousands of monsters. My elite Tengu troops were all wiped out by him."

"I survived only because they wanted me to deliver a message. Oh, and they also tampered with my body."

Akabane began to explain his situation without holding anything back. Losing this battle was indeed shameful, but those in front of him were his own brothers.

It's better to lose face in your own home than to lose your life by hiding it!

"Huh? The Lord of a Hundred Demons in Kanto? When did a Lord of a Hundred Demons appear in that place? How come we didn't receive any news about it?"

The older brother looked puzzled, but now was not the time to think about it. He walked over to Akabane, wanting to check what was wrong with his body.

However, the moment he examined Chi Yu's physical condition, Qin Qi's attack was triggered, and a soul shockwave swept through the vicinity in an instant!

The first to be hit were the three Akabane brothers, whose three souls and seven spirits were shattered, and many of the tengu outside also died!

After waiting for a while, when the Great Tengu returned and saw the mountains covered with corpses, he had a bad feeling.

He rushed into the hall with lightning speed, and seeing his three sons dead with blood flowing from their seven orifices, he was instantly enraged!

In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky outside, accompanied by the Great Tengu's rage, gale, thunder, and endless roaring!

He must get revenge! Whoever did it, he will get revenge!

Countless black-winged tengu floated silently in the air, a dark mass that gave off an incredibly oppressive feeling. They were waiting for the great tengu's command!

At this moment, Qin Qi had arrived at the last piece of land in Guandong that he had not yet ruled! The rulers here were not monsters.

But he was a human being, an ordinary human being!

"Bang bang, it's the third watch of the night, the time of demons, when a hundred ghosts roam!"

A watchman, striking a gong, walked out of the town with a blank expression and stood alone before the hundred ghosts.

Chapter 171 The sun will never rise again today; eternal night will envelop everything!

Qin Qi looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in front of him. The boy's face, hands, and most of his body had marks that looked like they had been burned by flames.

He looked thin and bony, holding a worn-out gong in his hand, standing alone outside the village with a blank expression.

"So you were defeated by this kid?"

Qin Qi asked the kappa.

This place was originally the one that Kappa was responsible for leading his men to conquer, but he failed, so Qin Qi came in person.

"Yes, General, don't let this kid's ordinary appearance fool you, he's incredibly capable!"

"We ganged up on him, but we still couldn't beat him!"

"The kappa spoke up. His fighting strength is considered quite formidable among yokai, but even so, a group of them couldn't defeat this kid in a fight."

"Is that so? That's quite interesting."

"Hey kid, what are you doing standing here? Trying to take on all of us by yourself?"

Qin Qi spoke.

“If you don’t want to enter the village, I won’t care about you. But if you want to enter the village, then I will stop you.”

The boy's expression remained blank as he spoke.

"Is that so, kid? It seems you don't want to be our enemy."

Qin Qi looked at the boy and observed the injuries on the kappa's body. They were all superficial wounds and not serious at all.

The same applies to other monsters that the boy had come into contact with.

There are only two possibilities: either the boy is very weak, or the boy is very strong. But if the boy is very weak, he would not be able to defeat so many people.

So the final conclusion is that the boy was very strong, but he did not want to be their enemy, so he only repelled the kappa and the others without causing serious injuries.

"Hmm, I don't want to fight you. You... are different from other monsters. You brought the child back."

In the village that the boy protects, children have also gone missing. Not long ago, he witnessed a monster bringing back the remains of a child.

He initially thought a monster had eaten the child and intended to chase after it and kill it, but he encountered a kappa on the way.

Then the fight broke out, and it was during the fight that he finally understood what was going on, so he didn't go all out.

"You said before that you would stop us from entering the village, which means you weren't planning to kill us?"

Qin Qi asked again.

"Ah."

The young man nodded.

"Haha, kid, you're quite interesting. Alright then, I'll see how long you can last."

"Men, go up and try one by one, but remember, if they don't kill, we shouldn't kill either."

Qin Qi was no longer in a hurry. He gave a few instructions to the monsters behind him, then turned to look at the boy.

"You can surrender anytime if you can't hold on any longer."

Qin Qi spoke.

The boy's expression remained blank. He did not answer Qin Qi's question, but simply stood quietly at the village entrance, just as he had on countless nights.

"I'll go first."

"I was dehydrated before and my fighting power wasn't at its peak, but now I'm fully hydrated, kid. This time I'll show you how powerful I am!"

The kappa stretched its body, then ate some cucumbers and drank some water before the battle, and then stepped forward.

Kappa are, after all, water monsters. Although they can move around on land, their fighting ability will be affected.

But just now, he had those water-spraying monsters water him, which boosted his combat power!

As it approached the boy, the kappa's power erupted instantly, creating ripples in the water beneath its feet, and it rushed right up to the boy in an instant!

"Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora!"

The kappa's fists flew out continuously like a stream of water, and at the same time, countless tiny water droplets were thrown out as he punched!

These tiny water droplets may seem insignificant, but each one possesses the impact force of a bullet!

The boy looked at the fist that was already in front of him, raised his hand, and punched it. The kappa was sent flying backward.

The battle was decided in an instant.

"This human is incredibly strong!"

"One punch, just one punch, and the powerful kappa was sent flying!"

"Kappa, can you still stand up?"

"No, I can't get up again."

The kappa lay on the ground, trying to raise its hand, but its body wouldn't obey its commands; the power of that punch was too great.

“Carry the kappa away and feed him two small cucumbers.”

"Next person, take over."

Qin Qi looked at the boy and found him quite interesting, and spoke up.

"I'll do it next!"

Another monster stepped forward, punched him, knocked him down, dragged him away, ate his cucumber, and then moved on to the next one.

"This kid... doesn't seem to know any techniques; he's just fighting with brute force."

"He was born with a pure yang body, and his own qi and blood were like a great sun, coupled with his fearless will."

"With one punch, it was like the sun rising, shattering the monster's fear directly."

"It's really good."

Qin Qi looked at the young man and had already seen through his background. He was born with a pure yang body, and he didn't need anything else. This alone was enough to make him powerful!

A pure yang body is not only a pure yang physical body, but also a pure yang soul, meaning that one is born with the ability to manifest a yang spirit.

Born at the peak, every day thereafter is about breaking the limits of humanity, unlike an Onmyoji.

It requires mobilizing spiritual energy, performing Yin-Yang techniques, or summoning shikigami, unlike summoning monsters which requires fear.

This young man relied on his own vital energy and courage!

"This kid is indeed very strong, but he's definitely no match for you. If you were to make a move, you should be able to defeat him easily, right?"

The black cat perched on Qin Qi's shoulder, its two tails swaying back and forth. It looked at Qin Qi and asked with great confusion.

"This kid is nothing to me, but the other monsters need a strong opponent."

"This kid is just right."

Qin Qi looked at the monsters behind him, most of whom were new recruits and would need to undergo more battles and trials.

Pride is acceptable, but arrogance is not. And those monsters who have only recently joined are already somewhat arrogant.

"A fine sword is forged through tempering, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold." Is that the meaning?

The black cat spoke.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so cultured."

"Meow, of course! Meow is a civilized cat! I not only know, I can even write!"

The cat grew up alongside humans and, being intelligent from a young age, learned these skills through observation and experience.

"Okay, okay, you're smart."

Qin Qi smiled.

The battle continued, and as one monster after another was defeated, the monsters' mentality began to change.

"This human is amazing!"

"I never imagined there were such powerful beings among humans!"

"There are indeed countless strong people in this world! We are still too weak!"

The monsters couldn't help but sigh. The arrogance that had just risen in their hearts vanished instantly. They were still not strong enough!

The complacency disappeared, but at the same time, some monsters also lost their confidence, and some dared not go up to challenge them.

"Some people are starting to get scared."

The cat keenly noticed this and spoke up in a low voice.

"It's normal. Whether it's a human or a monster, everyone will be afraid when they encounter something stronger than themselves. The key is whether they can overcome that fear."

"If that doesn't work, it means he's not good at fighting, and if he continues to follow me, he'll die in some battle sooner or later."

"Instead of doing that, we might as well go back and help guard the territories we've occupied."

Qin Qi spoke.

"Alright, I'm fully recharged after eating the cucumber, I'm ready to fight again!"

The kappa jumped out again. He had been badly beaten just moments before, but his injuries healed quickly after eating the cucumber.

As expected of a thick-skinned kappa!

"Although we are using a rotation system, the losers are not allowed to go up. You just stay here and watch."

Qin Qi stopped the kappa that was trying to rush forward. There were still many monsters behind him, and everyone had to take turns.

"Kappa, you saw how strong that boy was just now. If you went up there, you would only get beaten up."

"That's right, you'd just get beaten up for nothing if you went up there, you wouldn't win."

"It's better not to go than to fight a battle you're destined to lose."

When the kappa rejoined the group of yokai, many of them spoke up to persuade him.

"Should we just give up if we can't win? If that's the case, we'll never win!"

"If you take on the challenge, you might win, or you might lose, but if you don't even have the courage to take on the challenge, then you're guaranteed to lose!"

"It's a kappa," he said. He didn't care whether he would lose or not; as long as he was alive, he wouldn't give up. He could only become stronger through repeated battles.

The kappa's words moved some people, their hesitation disappeared, and they mustered up the courage to step forward and challenge him, only to be knocked down and carried back.

"how do you feel?"
