Abe Hachishin was greatly alarmed. Among the many Shikigami, the Karasu Tengu was considered one of the top fighters in close combat.
This monster was extremely fast, incredibly strong, and even possessed a considerable level of martial arts skill. Not to mention, the Karasu Tengu had a pair of wings that allowed it to fly with the wind.
Even on the ground, if the Karasu Tengu didn't use its flying abilities, it would be difficult for over a dozen Kendo masters to defeat it!
But now, Abe Hachishin watched in disbelief as a Karasu Tengu was directly killed by Ling Tian, as easily as slicing through vegetables. It was so clean and swift!
Ling Tian smoothly moved the long saber in his hand and looked towards Abe Hachishin, who was dozens of meters away. He knew very well that this man was the instigator of this annihilation operation.
Since this man wanted Ling Tian dead, Ling Tian saw no need to be polite. He prepared to charge towards Abe Hachishin and finish him off.
Just then, Ling Tian suddenly heard the sound of wind from above. Immediately after, a piercing sound struck, and countless hidden weapons flew towards Ling Tian like darts!
Ling Tian's pupils contracted sharply. Activating his Heavenly Eye divine ability, he saw clearly that the hidden weapons attacking him were actually feathers!
These feathers were entirely black, and at their tips, a faint green light could be seen!
These were no ordinary feathers. They were a skill released by the Shikigami Ubume, known as "Poisoned Feathers." The hardness of these feathers was comparable to a scalpel blade, with incredibly sharp edges!
What was even more deadly was that these Poisoned Feathers were imbued with a potent poison that could be fatal upon contact with blood!
Seeing this situation, Ling Tian dared not be negligent. His body instantly shifted more than two meters to the side. In almost an instant, those Poisoned Feathers covered the spot where Ling Tian had been standing, embedding themselves firmly in the soil.
At that very moment, Ling Tian felt a gust of wind behind his head. He raised his hand and slashed backward with his saber.
"Clang!"
Weapons collided, sending a series of sparks into the night sky. A dark figure flew over Ling Tian's head β it was another Karasu Tengu!
Abe Hachishin knew that in a head-on confrontation, the Karasu Tengu might not be Ling Tian's match. Therefore, Abe Hachishin had ordered the Karasu Tengu to launch a surprise attack on Ling Tian.
Ling Tian had just blocked the Karasu Tengu's attack when, at that moment, the Ubume circling in the sky once again shot Poisoned Feathers at Ling Tian!
Although the Poisoned Feathers were the Ubume's feathers, as long as the entity still possessed magical power, it could release them!
Due to the entanglement with the Karasu Tengu, Ling Tian had now lost the optimal timing to evade the Poisoned Feather attack.
With no other choice, Ling Tian produced two talismans in his left hand and threw them directly into the air.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two white lights exploded in mid-air. These white light clusters acted like shields, enveloping Ling Tian.
It turned out that Ling Tian had thrown out two Vajra Talismans in his haste. These Vajra Talismans were directly detonated, forming shields in mid-air that blocked the attack of the Poisoned Feathers!
And at this moment, the Karasu Tengu attacked again from behind...
From a distance, Abe Hachishin watched the battle with a cold gaze. Daikimaru, holding a katana, stood guard cautiously in front of him. Judging by the combat situation, the two Shikigami, Ubume and Karasu Tengu, had the upper hand.
However, Abe Hachishin did not feel that this was enough to guarantee safety, as he considered Ling Tian to be a very, very dangerous opponent!
Thus, Abe Hachishin reached into hisζ and took out another handful of blue talismans. He chanted something under his breath, and then, with a sudden flick of his wrist, he threw the talismans. In mid-air, several more figures appeared out of nowhere!
Among these figures, some lurked in the surrounding mountains and forests near Abe Hachishin, while others began to search the surroundings for Aurora's whereabouts!
After all, for Abe Hachishin, Aurora's life was what he most desired to claim. Only by killing or capturing Aurora could he use it as a condition to demand passage from Mario Kuite.
Although Abe Hachishin's strength was also considerable, if he were to confront Mario Kuite head-on, he would suffer heavy losses!
In the forest, Ling Tian was battered and bruised by the two Shikigami flying in the sky. These two entities were very intelligent, knowing not to engage Ling Tian in a direct confrontation. Thus, relying on their ability to fly, they launched attacks in turns from the sky.
Ling Tian was enraged. With a flash of thought, a fire talisman appeared in his hand. Immediately, Ling Tian raised his hand, and ten fireballs flew towards the two monsters in the sky.
The Ubume and Karasu Tengu sensed the immense energy contained within these fireballs. Their instinct for self-preservation kicked in, causing these two monsters to immediately ascend into the sky.
"Boom, boom..."
After flying for over ten meters, these fireballs exploded in mid-air, forming a vast expanse of flames that lit up the entire night sky. The rain in the sky instantly evaporated upon contact with the flames, creating a large amount of steam.
However, the Ubume and Karasu Tengu were extremely fast flyers. Before the fireballs could reach them, they rapidly ascended and flew out of the explosion range.
A few seconds later, the flames completely dissipated, and the two monsters continued to circle in the sky, assessing whether Ling Tian would continue to attack them.
After observing for a while and finding Ling Tian still there, fuming and unable to do anything to them, these two monsters then lowered their altitude, preparing to launch a new round of attacks on Ling Tian.
Just then, Ling Tian once again raised his left hand, and two fireballs shot out from his left hand.
However, this time, the two Shikigami in the sky were not as fearful as before. They felt that the flight speed of these fireballs was very slow and that they could not catch up to them.
So, the two Shikigami changed their flight paths in mid-air, evading the two fireballs.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. As the two fireballs flew through the air, their volume suddenly expanded, transforming into the shapes of two firebirds out of thin air!
And the appearance of these two firebirds was almost identical to the Albatross that Ling Tian had subdued!
After the fireballs transformed into firebirds, their speed suddenly increased, and they flew directly towards the Karasu Tengu and Ubume in the sky.
These two Shikigami never expected the fireballs to transform into firebirds, and their flight speed to be so terrifying!
At this point, they wanted to accelerate and escape again, but it was too late!
The two firebirds, one on the left and one on the right, enveloped the two Shikigami in mid-air. In almost an instant, the two Shikigami were engulfed in flames, turning into two balls of fire, and within seconds, they turned into ashes!
These two balls of fire soon transformed back into firebirds and flew to Ling Tian's side, circling above his head!
Abe Hachishin's face turned pale. When a Shikigami was killed, the Onmyoji would also suffer a certain backlash!
Abe Hachishin could feel the pain that the two Shikigami had endured at the moment of their death!
