Zhu Wen looked at the cat in front of her and could not help but feel a headache. She did not expect that the black cat that Kayako adopted was not an ordinary creature, but the pet cat of the Death of the Underworld.
Nekomata wasn't a low-level monster even among the many monsters. As long as he lived long enough, Nekomata could evolve into a Nine-Life Demon Cat that was comparable to the legendary Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. Fortunately, Nekomata was still young, and the strength of Nekomata depended entirely on the number of its tails.
Although Zhu Wen was a little stunned, her movements did not slow down. She was still secretly preparing everything to deal with Nekomata.
It was almost 5 pm, just as the sun was about to set.
Zhu Wen's original plan was to set up a formation near the haunted house after dealing with the black cat's corpse. When the sun set and the moon appeared at seven o'clock, the Yin Qi would be at its strongest. As long as the formation of the Earth Imperial Sect shifted the earth vein and when Kayako attacked the Earth Imperial Sect, she would destroy the haunted house and her last two media, reducing Kayako's strength to the minimum.
However, it seemed that whether she and Yingkong could solve the problem of Nekomata within the time limit was the key to this invisible battle. As for whether they could defeat Nekomata, Zhu Wen and Yingkong were very confident. After all, it was still daytime.
Nekomata stared at Youlan's eyes that were burning with soul fire, staring at Zhu Wen and Yingkong, but he didn't dare to walk out of the shade. Nekomata was a creature of the Underworld, and it had an instinctive fear of sunlight. Although sunlight couldn't kill it, it would reduce its power, making it unable to use the power of a high-level monster (level three gene lock). This was also the tragedy of many monsters. This was the reason why most of them appeared at night.
Zhu Wen looked at the hesitant Nekomata who didn't dare to walk out of the darkness and finally laughed. She whispered to Yinkong,"Ying Kong, pretend to dig out the black cat's corpse and lure it out. It's daytime now, and if it sees the light, it will lose at least half of its strength. Don't be afraid that it won't come out. As a creature of the Underworld, although it can travel between the living and the dead, it must have a medium in the real world. Otherwise, it will be sent back to the Underworld, and the medium is the black cat's corpse. Therefore, it definitely doesn't dare to take the risk.”After saying that, a shovel appeared in Zhu Wen's hand.
Yinkong took the shovel from Zhu Wen and slowly walked towards the black cat's grave, but she secretly held onto her Deathfire Tooth.
Zhu Wen and the other felt lucky that when Kayako buried her beloved cat, she did not think that the black cat was a creature of the underworld. She relied on her human nature of liking sunlight to bury the black cat's body not far away from the forest. She could see the sun just now, so it was basically a foregone conclusion that the cat was lured out of the forest.
Nekomata bared its teeth at Yingkong, who was about to dig out its corpse. Finally, just as Yingkong was about to raise the shovel, it couldn't help but leap out of the shadows of the forest and pounce fiercely at Yingkong. It stretched out its sharp claws, burning with blue soul fire. It wanted to kill Yingkong in one fell swoop and protect itself in the medium of the present world. It seemed like it didn't want to be sent back to the underworld.
Yingkong, who had been waiting for a long time, opened her first gene lock without hesitation. Her eyes were blank and empty. When she sensed Nekomata's attack, she quickly used her empty right hand to pull out a Deathfire Tooth to block Nekomata's attack. However, she never expected that the seemingly petite Nekomata would have a strength that she could not compare to. The force instantly sent Yingkong flying a few meters away.
The cat that had sent Yingkong flying was unforgiving. It no longer cowered under the sunlight and pounced on Yingkong again, wanting to kill her before she could get up and devour her soul to strengthen itself.
But how could Zhu Wen, who was already on guard, just watch as Yingkong was killed and not help? She threw a blue talisman card she had prepared to Yingkong's side and released her.
Ice Talisman, Ice Wall
A wall of ice was erected to defend against Nekomata's attack, giving Yingkong a chance to quickly get up and counterattack. Yingkong, who had suffered a loss, opened her second gene lock without hesitation. Her arms, which were holding the Deathfire Fang, suddenly grew several times larger than normal. She then turned into a black arrow and rushed towards Nekomata, wanting to kill him while he was still affected by the cold.
But when the cunning Nekomata crashed into the ice wall, it immediately used its strong sense of danger to turn around and run without hesitation, as if it knew that Yingkong wanted to kill it.
Nekomata's speed was extremely fast, and Yingkong, who could only be left far behind, clearly understood the cruel reality of how difficult it was for a two-legged person to catch up to a four-legged animal. Just as Nekomata was about to run back into the shadows of the forest, a silver-white protective barrier rose up at the edge of the forest. This was Zhu Wen's secret backup plan.
The Moon God's Cage.
This restrictive rune card, which had been short-lived during the fight against the Eight Will Egerin, played a decisive role at this time. The rune card turned into a wall of moonlight, blocking Nekomata's escape path.
Even though the Moonlight Wall was weaker due to its expanded area, and Nekomata could break it with two or three attacks, it delayed Nekomata's escape. Yinkong had caught up to it and raised her Deathfire Fang to stab at Nekomata.
Sensing danger, Nekomata immediately gave up on escaping back into the shadows. She turned around and jumped up to dodge Yingkong's stab, then clawed at Yingkong's jade-white neck. A human-like smile appeared on her black face, but it wasn't the cute expression of a normal cat asking for a stroke. Instead, it was filled with murderous intent.
Yingkong, who had been prepared for Nekomata's attack, pulled out another Deathfire Tooth to block Nekomata's attack. With her second gene lock open, Yingkong perfectly blocked Nekomata's hasty attack, causing Nekomata's murderous expression to freeze.
With such a good opportunity, Yingkong's other dagger stabbed towards Nekomata's spine without hesitation. Yingkong knew that it was impossible to kill an expert in one go, so it was best to heavily injure him and create an opportunity for the next attack. She chose to stab Nekomata's spine and cut off his mobility.
Even Nekomata couldn't help but feel its fur stand on end like a normal kitten when it felt the aura of death coming at it. However, Nekomata's eyes, which were burning with blue flames, were different from a normal kitten's begging eyes. In the end, it gave up on the idea of turning around to defend or escape. Instead, it clawed at Yingkong's neck with its other claw, which was burning with blue flames.
Surrounding the weak to save the weak. Even though Nekomata didn't understand this logic, it had used its instinct to launch such a strategic attack in that instant, achieving the effect of saving itself. If Yingkong didn't dodge or defend against Nekomata's claw, even if she seriously injured Nekomata, she would immediately become a soul under Nekomata's claws. So Yingkong had no choice but to give up on the idea of seriously injuring Nekomata and jumped back after dodging Nekomata's attack.
Yinkong didn't do nothing after jumping away from Nekomata. Even though she didn't injure Nekomata, she used her Deathfire Fang's ability to harm souls to cut Nekomata's hind leg. The hind leg was burning with purple hellfire, and the burning made Nekomata howl in pain.
Nekomata's eyes were now filled with a savage aura. Both Yingkong and Zhu Wen knew that an injured beast was the scariest. Now that Nekomata was enraged, it was definitely not as easy to deal with as before. If they didn't think of a way, the two would be in danger.
The cat that had been injured by the Deathfire Fang didn't return to the forest, nor did it rush at Yingkong again. It relied on the characteristics of its soul fire to dispel the hellfire that the Deathfire Fang had added to its body.
Although Nekomata had gotten rid of the negative effects on his body, the wound on his hind leg could not be healed for a long time. This was because it was a wound on his soul. It could not be healed until he devoured enough souls.
After Nekomata removed the hellfire from his hind legs, he licked his wounds like an ordinary cat. After he restrained his violent aura, he slowly faded away under the two's shocked gazes, as if he had never appeared.
After Nekomata disappeared, Yinkong felt the surrounding aura with some doubt. When she found that there was no sign of Nekomata, she turned to Zhu Wen and asked,"Sister, did the cat leave again?”
Zhu Wen frowned. She could not sense Nekomata's aura either, but she felt a faint sense of unease. She felt that an enraged Nekomata would not leave just like that. After all, cats were vengeful creatures! However, her aura did not give her any clear information that Nekomata was still here, so she could only say calmly,"I'm here to dig up Black Cat's grave, and you're here to protect me.”Yinkong nodded and walked to Zhu Wen's side.
Zhu Wen walked to the black cat's grave, picked up the shovel, and began to dig the small grave bit by bit. The black cat's grave was dug up bit by bit, but Zhu Wen revealed a puzzled expression. It was not because she did not dig up the black cat's body, but because Nekomata did not run out to stop Zhu Wen's actions. Could it be that Nekomata really left?
Just as Zhu Wen dug up the small tomb and discovered a small wooden box buried underground, she finally felt a flash of killing intent. If not for her sharp senses, she would not have noticed it. She pretended not to feel the killing intent that was directed at her. Instead, she secretly condensed the power of Yin and transformed it into the power of ice of the water attribute. Then, she reached out her hand to the sandalwood box underground.
Zhu Wen picked up the sandalwood box with both hands and was about to stand up when a powerful killing intent suddenly appeared behind her. Even Yingkong could feel it. The killing intent almost made Yingkong tremble as an assassin. Then, Nekomata suddenly appeared not far from Zhu Wen and pounced on her.
Even though Nekomata was coming, Yingkong didn't leave Zhu Wen's side. She opened her second gene lock and rushed behind Zhu Wen to block the incoming attack.
Yinkong had noticed Nekomata's attack, so how could Zhu Wen not have noticed the attack and killing intent directed at her? She didn't turn around at all. Instead, she threw the sandalwood box in her hand a few meters behind her without hesitation. Then, she turned around and dashed in the direction of the sandalwood box.
Nekomata did not understand what was going on. He had come to a conclusion based on his own thoughts. He had to get his medium back and leave this place. Nekomata gave up on trying to assassinate Zhu Wen. Instead, he jumped towards the sandalwood box that contained the black cat's corpse.
Just as Nekomata was about to reach the sandalwood box, Zhu Wen had also arrived. However, she did not take out her talisman card or project the Reverse Water Chill. Instead, a powerful chill that could freeze one's soul erupted beside the box.
Ice Magic, Frost Nova
Nekomata, who was about to snatch the medium back, was instantly enveloped by the cold air. How could it dodge Zhu Wen's long-prepared attack when it was less than 3 meters away from her? It was instantly frozen into a piece of ice and snow monument by the bone-chilling cold air.
Zhu Wen did not stop her attack after completely freezing Nekomata. She knew that the powerful Nekomata was only temporarily frozen by her cold air. If she did not hurry up, Nekomata would break out of the seal. Therefore, before Nekomata broke out of the ice seal, she projected the sword that she was second most familiar with, the Demon Slaying Sword.
The Demon-slaying Sword's snow-white blade was covered with golden exorcism runes. The pale golden hilt showed its elegance, and the hilt was filled with all kinds of strange gems. In the legends, the Demon-slaying Sword was the symbol of slaying demons and devils. It was said to be the weapon of the Heavenly Divine General Fei Peng. This weapon was created by Zhu Wen after she exchanged information in the God's Space and combined it with Eight Wills Yonglin's understanding of the Demon-slaying Sword. Although it was not one-tenth of the power of the real Demon-slaying Sword, it was definitely enough to kill a cat that could not kill a big demon and had lost the ability to resist.
Just as Zhu Wen was about to kill the frozen Nekomata with her Demon Slaying Sword, a strange blood-red scythe sliced her projected Demon Slaying Sword into pieces. Zhu Wen was shocked and unleashed another Frost Nova. She jumped several meters away from the scythe nervously.
Feeling safe, Zhu Wen looked at the person who had broken her Demon-Slaying Sword with a sickle. When she saw the person, she was immediately suppressed by a powerful aura. Even Yingkong, who had just arrived, was suppressed by the other party's aura. This wasn't an ordinary aura. In the books Zhu Wen had read, this might be called divine might.
The person holding the red sickle was a young girl. She had pink hair tied into two ponytails. Her figure was extremely impressive, and she was wearing a strange blue and pink dress that was a combination of a dress and kimono. Her large breasts almost couldn't hide her desire to jump out. Yingkong and Zhu Wen couldn't help but feel envious. Her bright red eyes were filled with majesty, and coupled with the powerful divine aura she emitted, Zhu Wen and Yingkong didn't dare to overstep their boundaries.
The pink-haired girl also realized that her aura was suppressing the two of them. She placed her sickle on Nekomata, who had broken through the ice barrier and wanted to escape, completely ignoring the demonic aura emitted. Then, the girl retracted her aura and said apologetically to the two of them,"I'm sorry, my name is Onozuka Omachi. I'm the Death God in charge of this area. This cat is my friend's pet. It ran to the modern world when my friend didn't notice. I'm really sorry, but I have to take it back. As for the trouble this stinky cat has caused to the modern world, I will bring it back to Hell and hand it over to King Yama for judgment. As a reward for stealing your prey, you can ask me some questions. I will give you answers according to the situation.”
Zhu Wen and Yingkong were dumbfounded. Death?
