To unleash such a move, two conditions must be met!
The first condition is that the blade must be the Heavenly Cloud Sword!
And the second condition, well, it's about the person.
The one wielding the blade must be Chen Fan!
And this young man was none other than Chen Fan!
After Chen Fan vaporized the copper bullet with a single strike, he suddenly moved his feet, raising the Heavenly Cloud Sword and charging towards Haseo Oki!
At this moment, Chen Fan's speed was so great that he was merely a blur!
Swish—
Swish—
...
As for Haseo Oki, facing Chen Fan's onslaught, he was utterly incapable of retaliating!
In fact, even with his rich combat experience, at this moment, he couldn't even track or predict Chen Fan's movements!
And the continuous "swish," "swish" sounds of air being sliced meant that Haseo Oki's body was being repeatedly cut by shallow wounds from the Heavenly Cloud Sword!
In the blink of an eye, Haseo Oki's body bore over a dozen cuts.
At this point, Chen Fan scanned these wounds, frowned, and kicked Haseo Oki, who hadn't even reacted, aside!
After taking Chen Fan's kick, Haseo Oki was sent flying through the air!
Then, after his back broke several trees, he crashed heavily to the ground.
Upon landing, Haseo Oki couldn't take it anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft!"
At this moment, this renowned Onmyoji, who was usually highly respected even by the Prime Minister of the Cherry Blossom Country, was now face-first in the mud.
His "dog-eating-dirt" appearance was truly pathetic.
Chen Fan, holding the Heavenly Cloud Sword, slowly walked up to him, a look of disappointment on his face, and asked from above.
"Hey, you're so famous, is this all you've got?"
After saying this, Chen Fan lowered the Heavenly Cloud Sword and placed its blade on Haseo Oki's neck once more.
Though it was only a brief exchange, Haseo Oki had already deeply realized Chen Fan's formidable strength.
At this moment, his fear of Chen Fan was practically etched into his bones!
Lying on the damp ground, Haseo Oki clenched his fists tightly, trying to make his trembling less obvious.
Then, he dared not meet Chen Fan's eyes, and stammered, "What... what do you want?"
Seeing Haseo Oki's state, Chen Fan knew that his previous actions had managed to make him shed his arrogance and engage in normal communication.
Thus, Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke coldly to Haseo Oki.
Chen Fan, as if asking the obvious, inquired, "You are an Onmyoji, aren't you?"
Chen Fan's words sent a shiver down Haseo Oki's spine.
Then, with a face full of fear, he hastily replied to Chen Fan's question.
"Hai, I am an Onmyoji. May I ask, do we have any past grievances? Even if you intend to kill me, please grant me the grace to understand why I must die!"
Meanwhile, Haseo Oki, still bewildered, pleaded with Chen Fan.
Being cut was not a major concern, and being beaten was not a big deal.
Even if he were to die here today, it would be unavoidable.
But Haseo Oki truly wanted to know, having retired for several years, how had he offended this young man of immense power!
He could accept death, but he needed to understand the reason for it!
However, Chen Fan ignored Haseo Oki's question and offered no reply.
Instead, Chen Fan coldly instructed Haseo Oki, "Since you are an Onmyoji, then summon your Shikigami!"
"I want to see what your Shikigami looks like!"
Chen Fan's words stunned Haseo Oki.
Shikigami were the forms of spirits and deities!
Everyone here was mortal; how could they possibly see them?
Was this person... speaking nonsense? Was he mad!
Haseo Oki, who had decided to be submissive, was momentarily stunned, then became furious.
His reputation could be lost, his face and dignity could even be abandoned!
But his faith could not be!
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, which touched upon the insult of his faith, Haseo Oki could no longer maintain his plea for survival. He spoke to Chen Fan with a tone of helplessness and anger.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I am merely a humble Onmyoji; how can I summon Shikigami at will? Moreover, Shikigami are divine and spectral beings! How could mere mortals like us be qualified to glimpse them? Young man, I advise you..."
Hearing Haseo Oki's words, Chen Fan had no desire to waste further time with him.
For Chen Fan, summoning a Shikigami was a simple matter; even if the Onmyoji did not cooperate, he had his own ways of summoning them.
It would merely be a more troublesome and cruel process.
However, since Haseo Oki refused to cooperate, Chen Fan had no choice but to resort to unconventional means.
"If you are not dignified, I will help you be dignified!"
Thus, Chen Fan coldly uttered these eight words to Haseo Oki.
Then, the Heavenly Cloud Sword in his hand began to stab towards Haseo Oki!
The first sword strike, Chen Fan aimed at Haseo Oki's left eye!
"Ah! My eye!"
In an instant, Haseo Oki clutched his left face, which was covered in blood, and let out a scream of agony!
Furthermore, in his pain, he began to writhe on the ground!
At this moment, Haseo Oki was not unwilling to resist!
But faced with the choice between resisting and immediately dying, or not resisting and enduring torment with no guarantee of death, Haseo Oki was willing to take a gamble!
Even if his chances of survival were extremely slim, he did not want to die!
However, Haseo Oki's resolve did not last long.
Soon, as Chen Fan's attacks became increasingly devious and unusual, Haseo Oki could no longer endure it!
If it were merely physical torture, then, for the goal of "living," Haseo Oki could endure any physiological torment!
But what Chen Fan was inflicting upon him was far more than mere physical pain!
The Heavenly Cloud Sword in Chen Fan's hand had killed countless souls throughout history!
And now, as Haseo Oki's blood began to fill the blood groove of the Heavenly Cloud Sword, the grudges of the vengeful spirits of those killed by this sword over a thousand years, all drawn by the Shikigami residing within Haseo Oki, began to roar, to rage, and to surround Haseo Oki!
