Mingren Shigeru's maniacal laughter echoed in the cave.
Nagata Tetsuhei's corpse lay in front of him. The blood from his chest gradually spread to the ground. After the strange array on the ground absorbed the blood, countless dense runes flashed. The runes on the boulder moved without wind, as if they would break at any time. Roars that seemed to come from the faraway shore came from the stone. It was as if some ferocious beast was about to break free from the shackles of hell and descend into the human world!
Shigeru Mingren finally stopped his disgusting laughter and looked at the two of them with a venomous expression."Brat, you'll be dead soon! Even if you run now, it's useless. The thing inside has already remembered your aura. It will continue to hunt you down until you die!”
Liang Yiluo didn't panic and asked with interest,""Oh? That powerful? What's inside?"
Seeing the unconcerned expression on the two of them, Master He Ming gritted his teeth and said fiercely,"Kid, have you heard of the Nine-Tailed Fox? This was the Slaughter Stone that the Nine-Tailed Fox had transformed into after its death!”He used the words Nine-Tailed Fox and Slaughter Stone in a very heavy tone, hoping that the two of them could see the panic on their faces. However, he was destined to be disappointed.
"Nine-tailed fox? Slaughter Stone? Didn't this thing already turn into pieces?”Of course, he had heard of the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Slaughter Stone, the Two Elements Falling. Whether it was in this life or the previous life, they were both very famous things. However, this did not make him feel afraid. Even if he had emotions, it was probably a kind of unbearable excitement!
However, in his memory, the Slaughter Stone that the Nine-Tailed Fox had turned into after its death had long been shattered by a monk. Now, however, Shigeru Mingren said that this was the Slaughter Stone. Under such circumstances, since he dared to use it as his final trump card, he should not be lying. Then, there must be some secret behind it. He was very interested in some secrets, so he asked curiously.
He Shigeru was eager to chat with him. If he ran now, the monsters inside might revive and there might be some changes on the way to chase after him. Therefore, he quickly answered his question,"Humph, it's true that the Slaughter Stone was broken by that monk Yuanweng Xinzhao, but how can the power of the Slaughter Stone be easy? Even if it's broken into pieces, it still has great power, and this stone is the largest piece that our Shigeru family's ancestors found!”
" If you have any more questions, ask them quickly. I'll answer them! It'll be fine in a while, just a while more…'Seiji Shigeru counted the time and was secretly anxious.
"Tsk, it's just a fragment." Liang Yiluo sighed with some disappointment. He had thought that he would be able to see the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox, but it seemed that it was impossible.
It turned out that the Shigeru family's ancestors had kept the largest portion of the stone after it was shattered by Shinaki Haramoto. At that time, the Shigeru family was still very powerful. They used the Yin Yang Art to seal the entire Slaughter Stone and suppress it. Firstly, it was to seal the stone for the Onmyoji's duty to prevent it from harming others. Secondly, it was his own selfishness. The power in the Slaughter Stone would not spread out because of the seal. After a period of time, it would condense into a demon. Although it was not as powerful as the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, it was still extraordinary.
In this way, if the Shigeru family encountered a disaster that threatened the entire family, they could use their family's secret technique to resurrect the newly born demon to resist the enemy. As long as it did not take long, the Shigeru family would have other secret techniques that could seal it back. However, to revive it, the price was extremely high. The caster needed to sacrifice his own life! However, there was once a genius in the Shigeru family who had a devious idea. He changed the entire ritual and transferred the required life force to someone else using a secret technique. He absorbed the life force of others to replace it, and all he needed to pay was some lifespan. In times of crisis when he needed to use the Slaughter Stone, some lifespan was extremely cost-effective!
Of course, it was impossible for Shigeru Mingren to give up his life just like that. It was also because of this that he hesitated when he came to this forbidden area and remembered that there was no sacrifice. It was also because of this that he was so happy when he saw Nagata Tetsuhira.
Of course, Yin Yang Luo didn't know about the secrets of this place. After knowing that the Slaughter Stone wasn't complete, he lost interest in asking. He saw that the skin on Shigeru Mingren's face seemed to be dehydrated, and some wrinkles gradually appeared. His originally black hair had turned white from the roots, and he seemed to have aged ten years. The rock beside him shook louder and louder, and the rune page on it gradually extinguished. Yin Yang Luo knew that this ritual was about to be completed!
Liang Yiluo smiled as if he suddenly remembered something. He said softly,""Then, I'll ask you one last question, Shigera-san. If I had escaped just now, would the thing inside come out with me to the entire capital? What would happen to the ordinary people in the capital?”
When Shigeru Mingren heard the question, he sneered and said matter-of-factly,""So what if he runs to the capital? Why do these ordinary people care about him? It's their honor to be able to contribute to our Shigeru clan!”His expression was arrogant, as if those ordinary people were insignificant ants to him. If it wasn't for his sorry figure, he would have looked down on the world.
Liang Yiluo nodded. The capital could be said to be within the Shigeru clan's sphere of influence. The residents inside could be considered his subjects to a certain extent, but he did not care at all. Of course, to the two of them, other than the people who were important to him, he didn't care about the others! As for this question, it was just a whim!
"Pa, pa, pa!" The crisp sound of clapping came from the cave. Liang Yiluo laughed and said sarcastically,""Shigera-san is really generous! That's right, he's too stupid!" At the end of his speech, the two of them shook their heads and walked toward Shigeru Mingren, as if they were disappointed.
"Hmm?" The fear that had already dissipated in his heart rose again when he saw him walking over. He took two steps back in a panic." You…" Before he finished speaking, a knife flashed past. He felt that his left side was suddenly empty. He looked to his left in a daze and realized that his entire left arm had been cut off at the root. The cut was smooth, and because the knife had been drawn too quickly, there was actually no blood flowing out. He was stunned for a second, and the next moment, a scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered sounded.
"Ah, my arm, my arm…"
With a thud, a katana shot out from Shigeru Mingren's chest, exactly the same as when he killed Nagata Tetsuhira!
After being stabbed in the chest by the long saber, it dawned on Shigeru that the two sides were not evenly matched at all. There was an overwhelming gap between them. Even if the demon could kill the two of them, it would be enough for the two of them to kill him when it resurrected...
'Why? You can kill me so easily, but you didn't do it right from the start? Could it be that his goal was actually the Slaughter Stone?'This thought echoed crazily in his mind. He felt that this was the case. From the beginning, he had fallen into someone else's scheme. It was only because of the Slaughter Stone that he played with him like a cat catching a mouse, and he had foolishly followed other people's plan step by step...
'Who is it? Which faction wants to deal with my Shigeru clan…'
With unwillingness, hatred, and the last bit of nostalgia for life, Shigeru Mingren's consciousness gradually dissipated...
However, if his last thought was known by the two forces, they would definitely laugh out loud and say," You're thinking too much. I don't know anything about the Slaughter Stone. All of this is just my desire to fight with experts and the mission of the wild cranes on Green Mountain. There's no conspiracy at all..."
The two of them pulled out their katana from Shigeru Mingren's back and kicked him to the side of Nagata Tetsuhira's corpse.
"You don't have to thank me. I'll let you have a companion on your journey to the afterlife!”As for whether the two of them will kill each other on the road to the afterlife, it's none of my business!
"I'm still not familiar with this kind of instantaneous step that requires me to turn around!”Thinking back to how he had used Instant Steps to go around Shigeru's back and change direction, the Two Elements Descent was very dissatisfied.
"Then, this monster should have been resurrected, right?”The Two Elements of Descent looked at the Slaughter Stone. Indeed, after the death of Shigeru Mingren, his life force was also absorbed by the Slaughter Stone. The death of the worshipper instantly gave it sufficient power. The light of the array gradually dimmed, and the runes on the huge stone fell off one by one. Waves of strange black fog floated out from the Slaughter Stone, and there was a wail like that of a demon!
Crack! Crack! The sound of the rock shattering could be heard from the Slaughter Stone. Cracks began to spread throughout the stone's body. However, contrary to his expectations, the stone did not shatter as he had expected. However, after the crack appeared, the black fog became even denser and completely enveloped the entire stone!
In the next moment, an angry roar was heard. The black fog expanded rapidly and turned into a monster that was about four meters tall and several people long!
This monster was extremely strange. From the outside, it looked like a lion. The black fog around its neck was abnormally thick, like the hair on a lion's temples. However, there were nine tails, which was similar to the legendary nine tails of the Slaughter Stone! The most terrifying part was the lion's head, which was densely packed with countless eyes. It was black with a hint of red, and it emitted a murderous, cursed, and bloodthirsty aura!
"He's finally out, but I've been waiting!”Yin Yang Luo felt the excitement and excitement in the depths of his heart. With a trace of a sinister smile, he did not give it any chance to strike first!
"Divine Chime Sect Profound Meaning Space Slashing Flash!"
A hurricane-like blade energy shot out, cutting a ravine half a meter deep in the ground! For a moment, the entire square was filled with sand and stones, and a strong wind filled the sky!
The sword aura slashed at the demon's body with a roar. The black fog that enveloped its body rolled, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. It could not be blocked at all. Part of the black fog dissipated, revealing the monster's rock-like and illusory body!
"Demon Slaying Sword!" Man follows the sword, Yin Yang Descending Instant Steps accelerated, and a divine cry was unleashed. The saber carried the concept of evil spirits retreating as it slashed straight at the monster's exposed body!
" Roar!" With a miserable cry, the sword carried the intention to repel the devil. It made the Slaughter Stone, who had just been resurrected and still did not know what was going on, feel an intense pain from the depths of its soul!
When the two swords struck the demon, they felt that its body was as hard as a rock! The illusion in his body made him feel as if a portion of his strength had been offset!
"Hey!" He did not spare anyone when he had the upper hand. He stepped into the void and used the Void Instant Movement. His body jumped high into the air. Against such a large enemy, he abandoned some useless techniques and used the sword aura of a big move!
" Divine Chime Profound Rock Slashing Sword!" Borrowing the gravity of the earth, the close combat profoundness of this Divine Cry Style was unleashed. It carried an indomitable aura. The power of this sword strike of the Two Elements Falling was enough to shatter even a small mountain in front of it!
The tachi slashed into the monster's body and went straight down. Gradually, the falling momentum of the two swords began to slow down. The sword had only cut into half of the monster's body and could not move anymore!
However, this attack had almost split the monster apart. If it was an ordinary ferocious beast, it would probably not be far from death! However, it was not fatal to the fiendish demon transformed from the Slaughter Stone! The demon seemed to have finally understood what was going on. The nine tails on its back swung. The tails that were clearly like fog actually brought with them the sound of tearing through the air. When the Two Elements Fall slashed into its body and it could not move, it swept straight at it!
With a huge slap from the tail, Yin Yang Luo's body flew out and smashed into the wall with a loud bang, sending a lot of gravel flying.
With a slight exertion of strength, the Two Elements Fall walked out from the rubble. He glanced at the broken tachi in his hand and casually threw it on the ground. The tachi was only made of fine steel and was not a precious saber. The black fog of the demon had corrosive properties. As soon as it cut into the demon's body, it was contaminated by the black fog. Coupled with the huge force of the tail, the tachi finally could not hold on and broke into two!
The demon didn't continue to attack. It just stared at the two falling bodies. The countless eyes on its head were filled with killing intent. Its body was surrounded by black fog, and the huge wound that was about to be cut in half was gradually healed by the black fog! Although it had no rationality, it had battle instincts. It knew that recovering itself was the most important thing at this time!
A trace of blood flowed out of the corner of Yin Yang Luo's mouth. Clearly, the blow just now was not light!
"Hehehe! Looks like I have to be serious!" He was laughing maniacally, but his face was extremely calm. His eyes, which had been closed since he was hit, gradually opened, revealing a pair of strange eyes!
The whites of his eyes turned black like a demon's, and his eyeballs turned white, looking frighteningly pale! The black-and-white reversal in the eyes was the characteristic that was recorded in the Divine Cry Stream. It surpassed the limits of humans and transformed into a non-human-Ghost Eyes!”
