The Great Master of Gensokyo

I just can't tell if that smile is fake.

"I am Saigyouji Hanyu." With the same gentle smile, Saigyouji Hanyu raised his head and looked at Abe no Seimei.

“You have now seen him, Abe no Seimei,” Saigyouji Hanyu said, observing Abe no Seimei.

He discovered that Abe no Seimei was different from the great Onmyoji he had ever met.

Abe no Seimei possessed a power that he could not comprehend.

"Then, hand over the power you possess to me."

"Choose to surrender."

Abe no Seimei's voice sounded arrogant.

"In exchange, you can receive everything I bestow upon you." The Great Onmyoji's expression was cold, but in the blink of an eye, it turned serious and terrifying.

"Also, hand that woman over to me."

He pointed at Hagoromo Gitsune.

Abe no Seimei was powerful and arrogant, based on his own formidable strength.

"You are not qualified to order me around."

Even though he could tell that Abe no Seimei was deliberately provoking him, Saigyouji Habu still laughed loudly.

"Abe no Seimei!"

Chapter 119 Spell Battle (Part 1)

"Hagoromo Gitsune, I'll protect you."

Behind him, the fire spirit appeared. Its sacred aura of fire manifested at this moment.

"Hanyu..."

Although it wasn't the first time she'd heard Saigyouji Hanyu say something like that, Hagoromo Gitsune was still deeply moved to see him doing this for her.

"Why? She's just a fox demon. If you hand her over, I might spare your life out of brotherhood."

"Abe no Seimei said softly, his eyes filled with pity."

"That guy from the Kamo family tried to stop me, but he was stopped by Hakuzosu and Tengu."

"I wonder if they're alive or dead, Kamo no Yasunori. Their trump card shouldn't be relying on you, otherwise it would be too pathetic."

Under his suppression, the only voice of the Onmyoji was to obey him, Abe no Seimei.

"Lord Baoxian..."

“Abe no Seimei, you are angering the Kamo family.”

"My lord, what should we do...?"

The Onmyoji of the Kamo family inevitably fell into fear and unease.

Leading the Kamo family is Kamo Tori, the Kamo family's Onmyoji of this generation.

They, along with the Onmyoji of the Kagein family, were originally sent here as Onmyoji to maintain the altar's barrier.

"With Lord Yuzuru here, we are no match for Abe no Seimei," Kamo said, though he was terrified, he was still trying to keep the Kamo family's Onmyoji from collapsing.

Lord Yuzuru, who has summoned the gods, is absolutely capable of defeating that great Onmyoji.

"You bastard..." Saigyouji Yu laughed angrily, turning to Abe no Seimei, "You're even going to kill your half-teacher?"

"He is indeed half my teacher, but that depends on whether the diva goes easy on me."

"I'll ask you one more time, do you submit?"

His voice remained indifferent.

"What you're thinking is nothing more than using Hagoromo Gitsune to wash away your human form and completely transform into a demon." He didn't answer directly.

“In my opinion, you are the most pathetic one, Seimei,” Saigyouji Habu said with a smile, facing Abe no Seimei.

"You have betrayed what you should do as an Onmyoji by manipulating the cycle of life and death and commanding demons and monsters in an attempt to turn the world into a world overrun by a hundred ghosts."

Onmyoji are the masters who maintain the balance of Yin and Yang.

Instead of strengthening the power of monsters and allowing them to replace humans, we should eliminate and subdue them.

"What's wrong with that? Where there is light, there is darkness. This world is inherently filthy. Human desires have created this hellish world."

"Nobles oppress commoners, commoners bully the weak, and powerful ministers indulge in pleasure... Humanity's evil deeds are the origin of monsters."

"Humans are ugly. Since they are so ugly, why should I, as an Onmyoji, maintain such a human world?"

Seimei was simply trying to change the world according to his own ideas.

"So, I refuse."

"You and I are not the same kind of people."

Whether the world is hell or not is not for someone like you to decide!

Saigyouji Yuusuke laughed loudly.

“Foolish.” Abe no Seimei shook his head, a regretful expression on his face.

"I was going to give you a chance, but if you're so reckless, then I'll make you and the others die with you."

Awe-inspiring and terrifying aura emanated from Abe no Seimei, emanating from him without a hint of anger.

He is human, the child of a nine-tailed fox, and as a half-demon, he can also use the powers of demons.

Therefore, he was no ordinary Onmyoji.

"You are as arrogant as ever, Seimei."

Ashiya Dōman's gaze fell on Abe no Seimei.

"If you want our lives, ask me for my opinion!" Ashiya Dōman roared.

He felt extremely angry at Abe no Seimei's disregard.

...

Ashiya Dōman dedicated his life to the pursuit of the true meaning of incantations and the highest realm that yin-yang arts could reach.

Until he met Abe no Seimei.

Ashiya Dōman felt defeated and humiliated time and time again by Abe no Seimei's side.

He harbored more resentment towards Abe no Seimei than anyone else.

"This is none of your business, Daoman."

Abe no Seimei's expression remained as cold and arrogant as ever.

"Heh, you have no right to order me around. Let me show you my power." Ashiya Dōman changed his hand seals, and the vast spiritual energy under his control transformed into a terrifying calamity.

The power of spiritual energy imbued it with vitality, as if it had transformed into a real living entity.

Those were the ox-headed and horse-faced demons of hell. In an instant, dark ghostly energy enveloped the heavens and earth. The ox-headed and horse-faced demons rushed forward and attacked Abe no Seimei.

"Ancestor..."

"Can Lord Doman win?"

The uneasy Onmyoji brought a glimmer of hope.

"madness."

Abe no Seimei drew a Kikyo seal in mid-air, instantly dispelling Ashiya Dōman's curse. Not only that, but in just a moment, Ashiya Dōman was stripped of his five senses.

"Wow!"

Ashiya Dōman coughed up blood and his frail body collapsed heavily to the ground.

"They're not even in the same league."

Under the protection of Saigyouji Habu, Midori couldn't help but sigh upon seeing Ashiya Doman's miserable state. This sigh, in turn, brought a wave of sorrow to the Onmyoji of Keikain.

The inner turmoil is like the collapse of the god within.

The soul and pillar of the Kasakain family is Ashiya Dōman.

"now you."

Abe no Seimei turned his gaze to Saigyouji Hanyu, but in Saigyouji Hanyu's hand appeared the Kagura Bell.

The Kagura bell jingled, emitting beautiful Kagura music, demonstrating the power of the divine artifact.

"!?"

For a moment, Abe no Seimei felt his own magical power pause briefly.

"He asked me to come and meet him."

With the help of the shikigami, Saigyouji Hanyu had actually recovered somewhat. Moreover, now that the deity possessed him, although he couldn't fully utilize Miketsu's power to suppress Abe no Seimei, he had other techniques.

"Let me show you my power, Onmyoji."

"When night falls, hope remains."

Fox Hunt·Moon Shadow Realm.

The enormous barrier instantly enveloped Saigyouji Hanyu and Abe no Seimei, covering everyone inside the altar.

"The application of power seems to have improved..."

"Abe no Seimei's aura seems to have weakened a bit. Is this the effect of Lord Yuzuru's barrier?"

Midori was surprised; in the blink of an eye, Saigyouji Hanyu had changed weapons. Grasping the divine weapon Futsu-no-Mitama, he thrust it towards Abe no Seimei.

"boom!"

Lightning flashed! Countless bolts of lightning exploded, and the divine artifact unleashed terrifying power.

"Tian Cong Yun Sword!"

The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, also known as the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi, wields the power of the Japanese 'Kiyū-no-Kage' (Flying Bird of Fortune).

At this moment, Abe no Seimei had already refined it into his weapon.

In an instant, the sky was stained with blood.

Chapter 120 Spell Battle (Part 2)

Abe no Seimei was surprised to be injured, while Saigyouji Hanyu was injured by the power of Abe no Seimei's Murakumo Sword after being possessed by a fire spirit.

The two violent auras clashed. Although the armor formed by the fire spirit was strong, Abe no Seimei's aura was even more formidable.

"Damn it." Midori raised the small sword, and the power of the shrine maiden erupted, attempting to attack Abe no Seimei.

In the blink of an eye, Midori's attack missed its mark.

Abe no Seimei's skill level reached the realm of "divine speed." Only beings at his level could suppress him.

“You are no match for him.” Saigyouji Yuusuke roared, now truly feeling the power possessed by this great Onmyoji.

Instead of asking the other shikigami for help, he asked the firefly and the spider lily to give him their respective protection.

"Lightning flashes, may your command be swift and as you desire."

Holding the Futsu-no-Mitama sword, Saigyouji Hanyu remained calm as he slashed at Abe no Seimei.

The thunderous sword light, supremely yang, strong, and righteous, carries the power to destroy all things.

However, Abe no Seimei dodged it in an instant.

The Totsuka Blade met Saigyouji Hayuu's Futsu-no-Mitama Blade, unleashing hundreds of attacks on him. Had it not been for the protection of the fire spirit, the Totsuka Blade would have directly harmed him.

In the Armored Super Spirit Form state, the defensive power provided by the Fire Spirit is astonishing.

However, the pain in his bones made Saigyouji Hanyu grit his teeth.

"Mikoto, I can only rely on your divine power." All he can use now is the power of the gods.

His magical power was completely exhausted, but the divine possession allowed Saigyouji Habu to borrow his power, thus avoiding the embarrassment of being unable to deal with Abe no Seimei.

...
