The Great Master of Gensokyo

Onikiri's pursuit was fast approaching.

"You can't escape." Onikiri gripped his silver-white sword, his immense demonic power pressing in.

"It's a ghost..."

Himari could not hide the fear in her heart. For a mid-level yokai like her, the pressure of the demon was not something she could withstand.

Behind Onikiri were several thousand demon soldiers he had brought with him.

A fierce wind raged, and thick snow fell from the sky.

"Disappear." With an icy chill that froze everything, the Snow Woman activated her unique skill.

A blizzard fell, and the frigid winds and plummeting temperatures halted Onikiri's march.

"Come on everyone!" Yingcao danced with dandelions in the wind and snow, casting a healing light on Cuizi and all the shikigami.

With the help of Hotaru, Saigyouji Hanyu's shikigami recovered their damaged health.

"Heart Sword Dance!" Inugami wielded his sword, weaving through the battlefield, while Kubinashi and Baku unleashed their skills in succession.

Finally, the red spider lily made its move, and a sea of ​​scarlet red spider lilies bloomed on the snow-white ground.

"Please turn into the mud of the red spider lilies." The red spider lilies, with their faint smile, send a chill down one's spine.

Holding the divine weapon given to him by Saigyouji Hanyu, the Kodōren Sword shone with brilliant light.

Despite having the help of the shikigami, Midori was still in a tough fight.

Because, in addition to Onikiri, the leader of the team was Minamoto no Yorinobu, an important retainer of the Minamoto clan.

The Minamoto clan was headed by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, whose younger brother, Minamoto no Yorinobu, possessed onmyoji skills close to those of Yorimitsu.

“Foolish priestess, you have ruined the great cause of the Minamoto clan. You will not be able to escape so easily.”

"Perfect, with so many priestesses missing, you will serve as a sacrifice for the Genji clan, allowing me to gain power commensurate with my elder brother and assist him."

His eyes shone; as a high priestess, Midori was more suitable as a sacrifice to the gods than an ordinary priestess.

This pure spiritual energy appeared exceptionally flawless.

Cui Zi gritted her teeth, her spiritual energy depleted to the point that she could no longer sustain the fight.

"Tell me, who should be offered as a sacrifice?"

As Saigyouji Hanyu's voice rang out, the next moment, the arrogant Minamoto no Yorinobu was pierced through the chest by a flash of sword light.

Chapter 114 Crushing Defeat

He never showed any mercy to his enemies.

"Master Hanyu!"

Midori was overjoyed, while Saigyouji Hanyu looked at Midori and smiled gently.

"I am coming."

Saigyouji Hanyu's smile was so gentle that it put Midori at ease.

With the matter of rescuing the shrine maiden settled, she set off for Heian-kyo.

Kanako's strength could not sustain the long journey, so she returned to Nara.

After all, there was another matter at the shrine that she needed to handle.

Otherwise, how could they not have dealt with Onikiri and Minamoto no Yorinobu?

The main problem for Cui Zi is that her spiritual energy cannot sustain the consumption of energy.

Both Onikiri and Minamoto no Yorinobu's abilities were able to suppress Midori. Although the shikigami was powerful, she couldn't withstand the sheer number of demon soldiers she brought.

Fortunately, Saigyouji Hanyu arrived.

"who…"

Minamoto no Yoritsugu was furious, staring at Saigyouji Habu who had appeared before him.

He coughed up bright red blood, looking particularly disheveled.

Meanwhile, the Genji soldiers were thrown into chaos.

"Lord Xin is injured..."

"With Lord Onikiri here, no one can defeat him."

"Let's see how Lord Onikiri handles this."

After the minor disturbance, the Genji's followers regained their composure thanks to their trust in Onikiri.

"Saigyouji Hanyu."

Saigyouji smiled gently. His sword did not finish off Minamoto no Yorinobu directly because it did not strike a vital spot.

However, with the next sword strike, he would surely die.

"Saigyouji...Hanyu!? You're the Onmyoji who killed Sakata Kintoki!"

Minamoto no Yorinobu's eyes turned red; he was furious.

"Lord Yorinobu, leave this to me." Onikiri stepped forward and stopped Minamoto no Yorinobu, who was furious with Saigyouji Hanyu.

"No, he's just a lowly Onmyoji." arrogance shone in Minamoto no Yorinobu's eyes.

"Onikiri, you hold these people off. As for that arrogant brat, I'll take care of him."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu obtained a contract with Yamata no Orochi. Minamoto no Yorinobu and the direct descendants of the Minamoto clan all gained power through offerings to the gods.

A powerful, oppressive force suddenly swept over us.

"—I take refuge in all Tathagatas, all places, those who rebuke and destroy obstacles, those who are violent and wrathful—"

The Fudo Myo-o Fire Realm Mantra, which is not a Sanskrit mantra, unfolds, and flames roar for a moment.

The enormous and sacred flames were awe-inspiring and intimidating.

A mighty flame ignited, mingling with the oppressive power of the gods.

"Quite interesting."

Saigyouji Yuusuke chuckled lightly; the Fudo Myoo Fire Realm Mantra was actually being cast right before his eyes.

"Hanyu-sama."

The Demon Blade Princess raised her demon blade, intending to help Saigyouji Hanyu break through the incoming flames of fury.

However, Saigyouji Yuusuke waved his hand and chanted, "Five Elements, Barrier Array!"

The waves of fire crashed against the barrier between him and the Demon Sword Princess. The flames, mixed with divine power, made it seem as if Saigyouji Hanyu's barrier wouldn't last much longer.

"You've seen it now, haven't you? This is the power of a god. I'll burn you and your shikigami to ashes!"

Minamoto no Yorinobu revealed a fierce look in his eyes.

When he looked at the shrine maiden and the shikigami with desperate, pleading eyes, Midori and the other shikigami remained calm.

“How stupid…” It was Himari who spoke.

"They actually think they can deal with Lord Yuzuru in this way." Higanbana shook her head, thinking that Minamoto no Yorinobu was courting death.

"How long do you think it will take Lord Yuzuru to defeat him?" Midori blinked, her expression filled with anticipation.

The wave of fire swept over Saigyouji Hanyu and Yaodao-hime's barrier, leaving them both unharmed, and the barrier remained unbroken.

"It's my turn to fight back!"

"Fire Spirit!"

A gigantic fire spirit appeared behind Saigyouji Hanyu.

The same Fudo Myo-ō Fire Realm Mantra was unleashed in the hands of Saigyouji Habu.

However, it is far greater and more sacred than the origin of faith.

"impossible…"

"It actually summoned the eight great retinues of Acala!"

Not only Minamoto no Yoritsugu, but even Onikiri, who had some knowledge, exclaimed in astonishment.

The Fudo Myo-o Fire Realm Mantra is a powerful spell capable of burning away all kinds of spells, shikigami, and enemies.

It's difficult for ordinary people to even activate, let alone truly unleash the power of the Fudo Myoo Fire Realm Mantra.

The raging flames swept over them, leaving Minamoto no Yorinobu, Onikiri, and all the Minamoto clan members with nowhere to hide.

Onikiri fought back with all his might.

Minamoto no Yorinobu unleashed his full power of incantation.

Under Minamoto no Yorinobu's command, the water flow formed a force that attempted to extinguish the great fire summoned by Saigyouji Habu.

However, due to the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, the Water and Heaven Technique mobilized by Minamoto no Yorinobu was covered by the intense fire energy in less than a few seconds.

When the sacred flames overwhelm everything, without an output of spell power of equal level, no one can even think of using the Water Heaven Technique to destroy Saigyouji Hanyu's Fire Realm Spell.

All of this is just adding fuel to the fire.

"Lord Yuzuru, you've gotten even stronger."

Cui Zi murmured to herself, but she did not lose heart.

That's why she has to work even harder to stand behind Saigyouji Hanyu.

Saigyouji Hanyu is a great Onmyoji, and Midori must become a great priestess worthy of him.

At that moment, engulfed by the sea of ​​fire, Minamoto no Yorinobu was the first to succumb and was swallowed by the sacred flames.

"Lord Xin, let's go..."

The disheveled Onikiri watched as Minamoto no Yorinobu turned to ashes, but he was powerless to stop it.

He fled in panic, taking with him the followers of the Genji clan.

However, the pursuit of the Demon Blade Princess arrived in an instant.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

The crimson blade light fell into the ground, turning into a huge ravine that blocked Onikiri's escape.

"Demon Blade - Luocheng Gate".

Onikiri fought back.

An astonishing surge of demonic power, the ghostly aura carrying the might of thousands of demon soldiers.

Unfortunately, he was not the lord of demons and monsters.

The lord of demons and monsters can subdue the fear of all ghosts, who then possess him. The powerful demonic aura of the Demon Blade Princess instantly overshadowed the power possessed by the Onikiri.

"I lost……"

With a loud "whoosh," Onikiri coughed up blood and collapsed in the blink of an eye.

The Genji's followers were plunged into great fear.

If Onikiri has already lost, what power do they have left to fight against Saigyouji Hanyu?

"Onikiri-sama..."

"What should we do?"

"Lord Shin is dead, and Lord Onikiri doesn't even know if he's dead or alive."

A silent despair enveloped these followers.

"Do you want to die or live?"

Saigyouji Hanyu's gaze was sharp as he surveyed everything around him.

In the blink of an eye, everyone present understood what Saigyouji Hanyu was about to say.

surrender!

They are the demon soldiers of the Genji clan, serving only the interests of the Genji clan.

However, nowadays, under such great terror, everyone has the will to survive.
