Cao Yanbing finished speaking.
The Ten Halls of Yama in his hand glowed, shooting out beams of flame light that transformed into dragon-like figures, their light condensing into figures with armored heads.
[Ding! Mother-Child Ghost King is terrified]
[Host gains System Points +240]
As the flame light erupted, the system prompt also sounded.
The next moment.
From within the flame light, another terrifying general wielding dual axes appeared.
From the opposite building, Yu Xiaoqi recognized the newcomer.
It was Dian Wei!
Yu Xiaoqi immediately and excitedly introduced Dian Wei to Feng and Meizi. Upon hearing his words, Feng and Meizi's beautiful eyes widened in shock:
"Nani?! Xiaoqi, you're not lying to me, that's Dian Wei?? And Mr. Cao Yanbing has seven such Shikigami? Heavens, if that's true, even the Onmyoji of the Abe family might not be able to defeat Mr. Cao Yanbing."
She suddenly remembered Cao Yanbing telling her before, "Don't look at my age, I'm about the same as you, but I'm very strong." This wasn't just strong, it was outrageously powerful.
For a moment.
Her eyes sparkled with adoration:
"Is this the ghost exterminator of Great Xia? I know that the arts of our Sakura Country's Onmyoji originated from Great Xia, but I thought Onmyoji had researched Shikigami more excellently. Now it seems not. Compared to Shikigami, Guardian Spirits... Sugoi!"
Yu Xiaoqi smiled and boasted:
"Of course, our Great Xia's ghost exterminators are all like dragons. Not to mention Cao Yanbing, just look at Brother Wei, he's even fiercer than Cao Yanbing. After all, Cao Yanbing was called by Brother Wei, you understand, Meizi, my Brother Wei is super Sugoi!!"
"Although I don't know how good that Abe family's Onmyoji you mentioned is, I believe that in front of Brother Wei, even if Brother Wei used a modern weapon, like a shotgun, he could casually send them away. No matter how many Shikigami protect them, it's useless. Just shoot them at close range within three meters."
Feng and Meizi looked over at his words, their beautiful eyes still sparkling:
"The Brother Wei you're talking about, is he really that powerful?"
"Of course. I'll introduce you to him later. Oh, maybe Brother Wei can teach you a thing or two. I heard from Junfei that Brother Wei has taught many ghost exterminators to walk new paths of ghost extermination."
"Wow! Really! That's great!"
Feng and Meizi clapped their hands excitedly. Just as they were about to say more, the commotion from afar interrupted their conversation.
They looked in that direction.
In the distance, in the Japanese-style courtyard.
After summoning Dian Wei, Cao Yanbing ordered him and Xu Chu to deal with the Mother-Child Ghost King.
[Ding! Mother-Child Ghost King is terrified. Although it doesn't understand what this descendant of Cao Cao is saying, it knows it's about to die.]
[Host gains System Points +260]
They felt the gazes of Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
Immediately after.
"As you command!"
"Understood!"
Xu Chu and Dian Wei responded one after another and walked towards the Mother-Child Ghost King.
Instantly.
In this vast Japanese courtyard, two colossal, titan-like armored generals pursued two terrifyingly creepy ghosts, charging through the courtyard. With a hammer and two axes wildly swinging, the Japanese courtyard collapsed frantically, and shrill ghost cries echoed continuously.
This scene.
Not only was it witnessed by Yu Xiaoqi and his companions, but it was also fully observed by Moriyuki Ichiki, who was hiding in a corner of the courtyard.
"How could this be? Wasn't Meizi's boyfriend an ordinary person? Damn it, why would an ordinary person know a descendant of Cao Cao?"
Moriyuki Ichiki's face was filled with terror, all his previous arrogance gone.
Without a word.
Seeing the Mother-Child Ghost King being pummeled, he turned to leave, not caring about his teacher Nakai's life or death. The priority now was to escape and find help.
He acted immediately.
As he ran, he picked up his phone and sent a group message to the Onmyoji who were friends with Teacher Nakai:
[Help! Gentlemen, please help, my teacher is in mortal danger. It's a descendant of Great Xia's Cao Cao who made the move. He has Shikigami refined from Cao Cao's generals.]
After sending the message.
Moriyuki Ichiki had already reached the edge of the courtyard and was about to climb over the wall to leave.
At this moment.
A voice came from behind:
"Where are you going?"
Moriyuki Ichiki's body trembled violently. He turned his head with difficulty, his pupils suddenly widening. A figure had appeared behind him at some point. It was Yu Jin, staring directly at him.
"No!"
Moriyuki Ichiki screamed in terror, throwing an Onmyoji talisman and casting an Onmyoji spell.
However.
Yu Jin merely swung the long handle of his spear, shattering all his spells.
Although Moriyuki Ichiki was formidable, having reached the level of a Tiger Guard at such a young age and capable of dealing with Red-Clothed vengeful spirits, the gap between him and Yu Jin was still too vast.
"I heard you are the culprit who harmed Zhang Wei's friend?"
Yu Jin grabbed Moriyuki Ichiki, ignoring his pleas and excuses, and said:
"My Lord said that Zhang Wei is his friend, and Zhang Wei's friends are also my Lord's friends. If you dare to harm my Lord's friend, you must die."
With that said.
A flash of blade light streaked across.
Moriyuki Ichiki's head flew off.
"Friends of the Cao family descendants are not to be trifled with by you Japanese upstarts."
Yu Jin reached out and caught the falling head. After saying a word to the head, he carried it back to where Cao Yanbing was.
When he returned.
He saw that Nakai, who had been covered in blood, was now kneeling at Cao Yanbing's feet.
His face was filled with shock and despair as he looked at Cao Yanbing. His countless words finally converged into one:
"My god, Great Xia's Onmyoji... how can they be fiercer in close combat than Shikigami..."
Not long ago, Cao Yanbing had ordered Xu Chu and Dian Wei to pursue the Mother-Child Ghost King. Nakai was desperate, but then Cao Yanbing did something that gave him hope: he actually sent Yu Jin to find Moriyuki Ichiki.
Seeing this.
Nakai immediately felt hopeful. Cao Yanbing had no Shikigami with him now, so perhaps he could make a comeback. It was known that Onmyoji were generally weak in close combat. To prevent Cao Yanbing from summoning more Shikigami, Nakai charged forward without hesitation.
Although he was an Onmyoji, he was actually stronger in close combat than ordinary Onmyoji and was a ninth-dan swordsman. He immediately had his remaining Shikigami condense into a鬼武士刀 (Oni Bushi Katana - Ghost Warrior Sword) and intended to kill Cao Yanbing in close combat.
The result was unexpected.
Cao Yanbing was as fierce as a tiger in close combat. Not only was the Oni Bushi Katana broken, but he himself was beaten until he vomited blood. His ferocity was no less than that of a Ghost King.
In response.
Nakai despaired, wondering if all Great Xia ghost exterminators were this fierce in close combat, or if Cao Yanbing, as a descendant of Cao Cao, should also have considerable martial prowess.
Finally, with confusion, Nakai was killed by Cao Yanbing.
Afterward.
Cao Yanbing did not linger. He glanced at the deceased Nakai, picked up the head of the Mother-Child Ghost King, and left the courtyard:
"Xu Chu, take the body of the Mother-Child Ghost King back. I remember Zhang Wei told me to save the Ghost King for him if we encountered one."
Xu Chu nodded.
He walked to the body of the Mother-Child Ghost King, bowed, and picked it up.
At this time.
Xu Chu did not notice, or rather, he could not notice, due to his lack of understanding of modern equipment. He did not see that not far away, on the eaves of the courtyard, a camera was recording everything. For wealthy families, they often installed cameras in their homes to prevent theft, and Nakai was no exception.
