Chapter 373 The Eerie Shikigami

Facing these Japanese people who were attacking his compatriots, Ling Tian did not hesitate and directly produced three fire talismans.

Injecting true essence into the fire talismans, the sight of over thirty fireballs floating in mid-air was truly spectacular.

The Japanese and South Korean people were almost scared out of their wits at this scene.

At this moment, a cold smile appeared on Ling Tian's lips: "You can all die now!"

Before his voice even fell, the more than thirty fireballs flew directly towards the group of Japanese people!

In the past, Ling Tian would never have been able to control so many fireballs at once, but now, he was no longer the same. His mental power had become so strong that he could precisely control each of these more than thirty fireballs.

The fireballs flew into the crowd and exploded, forming walls of fire. What was even more outrageous was that Ling Tian could even control the flames after the fireballs exploded.

The Japanese people who were very close to Xuanyuan Tangfeng and the others were burned by the flames after the fireballs exploded, but Xuanyuan Tangfeng and the others were completely unharmed.

The flames seemed to have a life of their own; just as they were about to burn them, they immediately slammed on the brakes!

Watching the Japanese and South Korean people being scorched and fleeing in disarray, Xuanyuan Tangfeng and the others were stunned. They never expected Ling Tian's strength to be so terrifying!

Especially Xuanyuan Tangfeng and Situ Leisheng, they exchanged glances and revealed bitter smiles.

The two of them had even attempted to win over Ling Tian, but now it seemed that such actions were simply naive and ridiculous!

With Ling Tian's current strength, even a powerful figure like Xuanyuan Jie would have to be respectful in front of him. It would be a miracle if he agreed to their recruitment.

As for Zhang Caifeng, her eyes were practically sparkling. What girl didn't fantasize about a prince charming riding a white horse to save her in times of danger?

Now, Ling Tian's arrival made her wish she could rush forward and pledge herself to him immediately.

A dozen seconds later, the flames dissipated, and before Ling Tian's eyes, only charred corpses remained.

However, Ling Tian suddenly discovered that even under the combined attack of so many exploding fire talismans, there were still survivors!

Those two armor-like soldier-like Shikigami stood shoulder to shoulder. Although the armor on these creatures was almost melted and their appearance was miserable, they were still alive.

And on the ground behind the armor, a giant scallop with a diameter of over two meters stood upright!

The giant shell of this scallop was closed, and the surface of the scallop's shell was covered with traces of being burned by flames!

Just then, an opening appeared in the scallop, and Ling Tian saw that the Onmyoji Asada Mai was hiding inside this giant scallop shell.

He also saw that inside the scallop shell, there was a petite woman holding a fan, and this scallop shell seemed to be attached to the woman!

In fact, this woman was not human but also a Shikigami. This creature was called a蚌精 (Bàng Jīng), a type of monster in Japanese legends, said to be a scallop spirit from the sea, or a river mussel spirit.

The greatest strength of a 蚌精 was its defense, capable of blocking a fatal blow from an opponent for the Onmyoji!

However, at this moment, looking at the 杠精 (Gàng Jīng) in front of him, it seemed a bit listless. This was not surprising; the scorching heat of thousands of degrees had almost dried up the moisture within the 蚌精's body, and it was almost cooked.

But the Onmyoji Asada Mai, hiding inside the 蚌精, was completely unharmed. At this moment, Asada Mai's eyes were red. He looked at the corpses scattered on the ground; these were all his subordinates, including several Onmyoji who were the backbone of the Asada Shrine, but they had all become charred corpses!

"Baka!"

"What Baka! I didn't expect this demon to be so resilient to fire!" Ling Tian sneered.

Just then, the two soldier-like Shikigami with their armor melted suddenly grabbed their long swords and charged towards Ling Tian.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Tangfeng and Situ Leisheng raised their weapons in unison, preparing to meet the attack.

Unexpectedly, Ling Tian spoke, "You two, your stamina is exhausted. Leave these two demons to me. You just need to take care of Caifeng!"

After speaking, Ling Tian suddenly lunged forward, raised his hand, and two beads shot out directly from Ling Tian's hand, flying into the two charging armors.

Although it was full armor, there were still gaps. What Ling Tian threw were not ordinary beads, but two Fire Burst Spirit Pearls.

These beads, made of peach wood and engraved with powerful magic formations, stored a large amount of fire elemental energy. After the two beads entered the Shikigami's bodies, they suddenly exploded.

With a loud bang, the two soldier-like Shikigami, who were halfway through their charge, were blown into pieces from the inside, and shattered armor pieces fell to the ground.

"Baka!" Asada Mai was going mad. These Shikigami of his had been refined with great effort.

He had originally hoped to rely on these Shikigami to shake the orthodox status of the White Fox Palace in the Japanese Onmyoji world.

It was rumored that the most powerful figure among Japanese Onmyoji, Abe no Seimei, was a hybrid of a fox spirit and a human.

The White Fox Palace was created by Abe no Seimei and was revered by all Japanese Onmyoji.

Asada Mai believed that his current strength was no less than that of Abe no Seimei in his prime, and he had developed ambitions to replace him.

But now, he was somewhat stunned. His two soldier-like Shikigami, which were top-tier meat shields, were just blown to pieces like this.

And the 蚌精 that protected him was now half-dead. It looked like if he didn't invest a lot of resources in its recovery, it would probably be finished.

However, now was not the time for him to consider the future of these Shikigami; the most pressing issue was how to escape!

If he died here today, all his efforts would be in vain!

Thinking of this, Asada Mai reached into his robes and took out two blue talismans. These talismans were inscribed with strange patterns, and they were used by Onmyoji to summon Shikigami!

Asada Mai quickly cut his finger with his nail, letting his blood flow onto the two talismans, and chanted incantations.

The patterns on these two talismans suddenly lit up.

Asada Mai quickly threw the talismans in his hand. The two talismans landed on the ground, and two wisps of strange blue-purple mist emanated from them.

A few seconds later, the mist dissipated, and two monsters appeared where the mist had been!

One of these monsters had a giant spider for its lower body and a woman for its upper body. Even more chilling was that this woman's face had six eyes!

The other monster was a birdman. This birdman wore a cloak, a hat, and had sharp claws on his feet, with talons as long as half a foot!
