In Yuko's words...
"How could a shadow be afraid of a body? I am my master's shadow..."
"You're just a guinea pig waiting to be fucked. Don't talk like I would mess around with my own shadow. I'm not that perverted."
Annoyed by Niu Kun's lack of understanding, Xi Zi couldn't help but reach out and hit him on the head. After hitting him, Xi Zi was stunned. Niu Kun was also quite surprised and looked up at Xi Zi, only to see her apologizing helplessly.
"I...I'm sorry, Master, I...I'll go back into the shadows now."
After saying that, Xizi fell backward, dropping behind Niu Kun, and then, as if thrown into water, silently merged into Niu Kun's barely perceptible shadow.
"My shadow...when did it become your dwelling place?"
Niu Kun chuckled, thinking that after finishing what he did tonight, he would thoroughly humiliate this nonsensical ghost. He wondered what it would feel like to humiliate a ghost.
Oh, right, there's a catgirl he urgently needs to rescue. If he delays any longer, he might lose his first catgirl.
"What? Kagura hasn't come home yet?!"
Suddenly, Huang Quan received a call from his father. It was so late, but Kagura hadn't returned yet, and he couldn't get through on the phone. This made Huang Quan very uneasy. Just as Huang Quan was hesitating whether he should ask for leave to go find Kagura.
Suddenly, a text message arrived; it was from Kagura's phone number...
'--Help me....Private Cheng Education....'
Huang Quan's eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing became rapid. At the same time, new mission instructions from the countermeasures command center sounded in the helicopter cabin.
"Spiritual pressure burst forth, target area: Seito Academy Private School..."
While being chased back to the building by Niu Kun, Kagura seized the brief moment when the cell phone signal was restored and sent a distress signal to Huang Quan. After that, the cell phone signal was disrupted again.
Although she didn't want to drag Huang Quan down with her, she had several friends with her, and the first person Kagura could think of to ask for help was naturally Huang Quan.
The maze-like teaching building, shrouded in the 'red veil', became even more twisted and complex. Even though Yang Ming used brute force to blast through wall after wall, he still couldn't truly get out.
Of course, Yang Ming didn't really intend to leave. Niu Kun sent her instructions through telepathy: protect the three girls, Kagura, and Yuno as much as possible, and don't let the evil spirits or Yuno harm them, but also don't let them escape.
Niu Kun, on the other hand, had to rescue Yu Chuan Yi first. The evil spirit hidden deep inside the teaching building seemed to be no ordinary evil spirit. Yang Ming had previously killed several evil spirits in the building, which not only provided Niu Kun with enough soul energy but also alerted the true master of the teaching building.
A few strands of black hair dripped from the cracks in the ceiling, the water droplets falling to the ground and turning a scarlet color.
Hanekawa Tsubasa swung her claws to sever the strands of hair that were wrapping around her, while simultaneously seeking an opportunity to get close to her body. Her ability allowed her to absorb the 'energy' of her opponent through contact, replenishing her own physical strength and magic power.
However, whether the opponent sensed Hanekawa Tsubasa's intentions or it was simply their usual fighting style, they continued to manipulate their damp but extremely sharp hair to attack Hanekawa Tsubasa.
However, it never gave Hanekawa Tsubasa a chance to get close, so Hanekawa Tsubasa could only fight and run away, and when she saw an opportunity, she would quickly turn around and attack her opponent, even though she had never experienced such a supernatural battle before.
But Hanekawa Tsubasa, true to her mature and genius nature, quickly regained her composure after the initial panic and devised various counterattack plans, only...
We still can't beat them.
Hanekawa Tsubasa couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, but at the same time, a competitive spirit rose within her. However, as she was unable to make contact with her opponent to absorb energy, Hanekawa Tsubasa, in her first battle, felt her stamina rapidly draining away.
All she can do now is stall for time and wait for her master's rescue. Although she doesn't want to admit it, Yuukawa Tsubasa understands that her only chance of survival is Niu Kun's arrival.
but.....
Isn't her current danger precisely because of Niu Kun's assignment?!
They made it sound so nice, saying things like they'd personally provide rear support, Yang Ming and Yuno would follow closely to protect them, and Natsume would be driving so they could escape at any time... Ugh, I mean, they'd retreat.
But what's going on now?!
Why is it that she's once again fighting alone, struggling to hold on?!
Full of resentment, Hanekawa Tsubasa knew that now was not the time to complain, but she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
The evil spirits chasing Hanekawa Tsubasa seemed to grow even more anxious, their dense black hair crisscrossing and attacking her from different directions.
At the same time, a layer of blood-stained red gauze wrapped around Hanekawa Tsubasa, attempting to hinder and bind her movements. As her black hair grew thicker and the red gauze became more and more intricate, Hanekawa Tsubasa's dodging and tearing movements gradually became too slow due to her weakening strength.
Behind layers of seaweed-like black hair, a twisted figure, holding a crying infant, gradually approached Hanekawa Tsubasa, as if preparing for a final attack.
Once Hanekawa Tsubasa's hands and feet were bound by the red gauze and she could no longer struggle, her dense black hair looked as if it was about to pierce through Hanekawa Tsubasa's eyes, which were filled with despair.
'Am I...going to die...?'
A dark shadow suddenly appeared, forming a barrier that blocked the dense black hair. Then, a loud crash, like a wall being smashed, was heard.
The next instant, the red veil binding Hanekawa Tsubasa was torn to shreds, and then the black shadow transformed into the outline of Niu Kun, who grabbed Hanekawa Tsubasa and retreated to the collapsed wall in the blink of an eye.
Niu Kun reached out and took the Yuukawa Tsubasa that the shadow handed him, then looked at the figure hidden behind the dense black hair. The evil aura emanating from the other party gave Niu Kun the illusion that he was no weaker than himself.
"I...I'm not dead? Wait...Master...Master?!"
Coming to his senses, Yuukawa Tsubasa stared blankly as Niu Kun called out "Master," and inexplicably felt relaxed all over, as if he had found a safe and secure protector.
No, it's not like that, it's like having a powerful backer for protection.
Chapter 131 Acting
Although the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope is old-fashioned, it is indeed effective. After being shrouded in the terror of life and death, Hanekawa Tsubasa naturally felt fortunate and grateful to Niu Kun after being rescued.
Although Niu Kun's frightening appearance was a major drawback, the contract with his familiar and Hanekawa Tsubasa's transformation into a demon subtly altered Hanekawa Tsubasa's inner inclinations.
It was worth it for Niu Kun to arrive at the rescue point at the exact moment.
However, because the timing was too tight, Niu Kun didn't have time to tease Yu Chuan Yi anymore. He raised his hand and threw Yu Chuan Yi behind him, where Yu Zi controlled her shadow to catch her. Then, she activated her fire spirit energy and charged forward, wielding two longswords imbued with fire elements.
However, although what would be considered a longsword to an ordinary person was just two slightly longer short swords to Niu Kun, and countless black hairs surged towards Niu Kun like a tide.
The expanding flames ignited his black hair, while Niu Kun charged headlong into the evil spirit hidden in the shadows. Although he had been taught a lesson by the Murakumo Sword not long ago, Niu Kun's fighting style was hard to change.
The main problem is the lack of equipment. The weapons he's using now are mass-produced equipment manufactured by the Syringe Organization. Although they're not very durable, Niu Kun has no other choice.
Fortunately, this unknown evil spirit didn't have any powerful weapons. It was clearly afraid of Niu Kun's burning flames and could only desperately try to stop Niu Kun from getting closer.
The baby's cries assaulted Niu Kun like a sonic attack, but Niu Kun paid no attention to them. Two swords imbued with elemental flames continuously cleaved through the black hair and red veil that were trying to stop him.
A moment later, Niu Kun was able to see the evil spirit's appearance clearly.
A woman who appeared to be rotting from being soaked in water had wet hair that hung down like seaweed, extending into the entire floor. Her pale, swollen body was wrapped in red gauze, but there was nothing to see. The infant in her arms, who also looked like it had been drowned, was also insignificant.
The only thing that caught Niu Kun's attention was an oval-shaped, dark red stone stuck to the other person's chest. A strong demonic aura emanated from that stone, making it particularly eye-catching.
“That is…” Niu Kun’s eyes lit up as the term ‘Sessho-seki’ came to mind.
"I see!"
Realizing he had encountered something valuable, Niu Kun immediately became ruthless and activated 'Berserk Slaughter'.
'Huh? This aura?!'
As the helicopter approached the abandoned Chengxue Academy, Huang Quan clearly sensed Niu Kun's presence. She glanced back at Saeko and Mei, who had also sensed Niu Kun's aura.
'Damn it?! Could it be that Kagura has also been targeted by her master?'
Huang Quan was extremely anxious, yet felt utterly powerless. If it were any other evil spirit attacking, she could naturally strike without hesitation, but if it were Niu Kun, she was completely defenseless.
With such power, he couldn't even protect himself.
"Don't rush, look over there."
Saeko reassured Yomi, then pointed through the open side door of the cabin to the teaching building shrouded in an evil aura, the aura there clearly not emanating from Niu Kun.
"So you mean..."
Huang Quan's eyes lit up upon hearing this. If she could rescue Kagura before Niu Kun appeared and prevent him from seeing her, she could preserve Kagura's innocence... right?
Although she wasn't sure herself, she clearly had no other choice. She immediately summoned the Crimson Lotus, jumped out of the cabin, and flew down onto the teaching building shrouded in evil energy.
Saeko and the others, on the other hand, need the helicopter to find a good location and then jump out of the hovering helicopter.
Huang Quan charged down alone as always, but to his disappointment, Luan Honglian's roaring wave failed to shatter the black-haired red veil that shrouded the teaching building.
This surprised Huang Quan, but in addition to his surprise, he became even more anxious. In addition to urging Luan Honglian to continue to open her mouth and spew out roaring waves, he simply swung his sword with both hands and slashed at the dense black hair.
However, as each layer was severed, another layer would reattach, which made Huang Quan even more anxious. Just as Huang Quan was about to check if there were any weak points in other directions, the layers of black hair in front of him quickly withdrew.
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared along with the red veil.
"This is...."
Huang Quan was slightly taken aback. At this moment, Saeko and Mei also caught up. After a greeting, the three women entered the dilapidated building at the same time.
The black hair and red veil disappeared naturally because the evil spirit was being pursued by Niu Kun so urgently that the red entanglement could not bind Niu Kun. The all-pervasive black hair, even though it could withstand the ignition of the fire spirit energy, found it extremely difficult to penetrate Niu Kun's demonic skin and cause him any real damage.
The baby's cries, filled with venomous sonic waves, were ineffective against Niu Kun. Helpless, the evil spirit could only retreat temporarily to avoid Niu Kun's wrath.
However, Niu Kun, who discovered the Killing Stone, did not intend to let it escape. The evil spirit could only retract the black hair and red veil that originally covered the entire building, and then rely on its size to stop Niu Kun's pursuit.
Boom!
The ceiling was smashed open, and an evil spirit wrapped in red gauze descended from the sky, startling Chizuru and Mei Hong. Fortunately, Yang Ming was there to protect them.
A flash of lightning appeared, and violent thunderbolts materialized Yang Ming's fists and arms into elements. In the next instant, they blasted towards the red-veiled evil spirit, tearing apart layers of black hair and red veil with lightning.
The evil spirit roared, but then pushed the infant in its arms out to block Yang Ming. However, Yang Ming was quite experienced in combat and did not stop attacking because of this.
The elementalized Crushing Fist instantly shattered the swollen infant evil spirit. Lightning bolts darted around like mad snakes, and the red-veiled evil spirit retreated rapidly, but then a longsword burning with flames flew in and pinned her to the floor.
Niu Kun leaped down from the ceiling and then threw a punch. Caught off guard, Yang Ming grunted and flew backward, his acting rather stiff.
However, the three women behind them obviously couldn't see that Yang Ming, who had just displayed great power and defeated the red-veiled evil spirit, was suddenly knocked away by the bull-headed monster.
Their moods naturally fluctuated wildly, and everyone was pale and disoriented, not knowing what to do.
"Huh? You want me to play the evil demon?"
Hanekawa Tsubasa looked troubled, but unfortunately she couldn't resist Niu Kun's wicked sense of humor, so she could only play the roles of a cat demon and a ghost with the enthusiastic Yuko next to her. Well, it wasn't really playing a role.
Yang Ming was sent flying backward, seemingly seriously injured. Then, a white-haired cat demon and a black-haired ghost pounced. Yuno looked tense and raised her rifle, firing a series of precise shots at... the sides of Hanekawa Tsubasa and Yuuko who had taken cover.
"You help Senior Yang go first, Yuno and I will hold off the enemy."
Despite her fear, Kagura Tsuchimiya bravely wielded her wooden sword to help Yuno try to block Tsubasa Hanekawa and Yuuko.
Yang Ming even deliberately bit her lip until it bled a little. Although she was speechless at Niu Kun's perverse sense of humor, she still tried her best to cooperate with Niu Kun's performance.
Chizuru and Mei Hong helped the 'injured' Yang Ming and fled back the way they came with panic and trepidation.
At the same time, Niu Kun naturally sensed the arrival of Huang Quan and the others. Niu Kun, who was eager to continue the performance, became even more annoyed with the evil spirits in red gauze.
The demonic energy of the Killing Stone surged continuously, repairing the wounds inflicted on the Red Veil Evil Spirit by Niu Kun. However, repair could not outpace destruction. In the end, the powerless Evil Spirit was beheaded by Niu Kun, who forcibly removed the Killing Stone, and it instantly turned into a pool of putrid flesh filled with stench.
Chapter 132 End
Only a tuft of long, water-weed-like hair and a tattered red gauze, gleaming with a ghostly light, caught Niu Kun's attention. Niu Kun disregarded his disgust and quickly picked it up to examine it.
You have obtained the Bronze-tier artifact [The Hair of the Desperate]!
You have obtained the Bronze-level artifact [Red Veil of Drowned Infants]!
You have obtained the Silver-tier magical item [Killing Stone]!
[The Killing Stone: A fragment of the soul of the ancient nine-tailed fox demon, the Killing Stone contains extremely powerful and evil energy. Immersing oneself in it will cause one to lose their original consciousness and become its puppet.]
Niu Kun quickly checked the three spoils and then put them away. Meanwhile, Huang Quan had already started fighting with Xi Zi and Yi.
Hehehe~~
Unlike the embarrassed and uncomfortable Hanekawa Tsubasa, Geng Xizi seemed to enjoy playing the villain role. She manipulated Niu Kun's shadow, splitting it into many black shadows that turned into ropes to tie up Yuno and Kagura as hostages.
Mei Hong and Qian He, who had helped Yang Ming escape to Huang Quan and the other two, looked over with worried expressions, while Huang Quan had a dark face, clenched his teeth, and was at a loss.
Although they didn't know each other, the familiar witches could sense each other's identities. Hanekawa Tsubasa looked at the three distinguished seniors opposite her with some worry, while Yuuko seemed to be acting like a drama queen.
Instead of revealing her true form, Yuko manipulated Niu Kun's shadow, baring her teeth and claws to intimidate the opposite side—or rather, to intimidate the unsuspecting trio of Kagura, Chizuru, and Miku.
When Niu Kun finished collecting his spoils and came over, Yuko quickly stepped aside to take the center position. Niu Kun then reached out and took Yuno, who was bound by shadows. Yuno, who was 'trying' to struggle, was quickly subdued by Niu Kun.
Without any pity, the large hand roughly kneaded Yuno's small breasts. With tears in her eyes, Yuno pitifully was forcibly held in Niu Kun's arms. This scene, seen by the three naive girls, naturally made them feel extremely anxious.
But the others, especially Yomi and Saeko on the other side, just rolled their eyes. Yomi was also feeling discouraged. It seemed that Kagura would never escape Niu Kun's grasp.
However, for some reason, Huang Quan felt a sense of relief. If... if Kagura also became Niu Kun's familiar witch, would that mean... they could be together forever?
There's no need to worry about gradually drifting apart because we might each form our own families in the future. Aside from the possibility of having to serve Niu Kun frequently, the thought of that future illusion, where I am manipulated by Sanzu River and Hong, is all I can do.
Controlled by the Killing Stone, Yomi clashed with Kagura, becoming enemies rather than friends, causing her heartache and confusion.
Just as Huang Quan was distracted, Niu Kun tossed the reluctant Yuno back to the shadow controlled by Yuko beside him, and walked straight toward Huang Quan and the others with his twin swords in hand.
"This time, I grant you permission to draw your swords against me, as a friendly spar, so I can see your strength."
