"Boom!"
"What?!"
Tamamo-no-Mae looked at her Noble Phantasm, a mirror, in astonishment. It had suddenly moved on its own and launched an attack!
A beam of light from the mirror directly shattered the fox head formed from Demonic Energy! Not only that, Tamamo-no-Mae watched as her Noble Phantasm rotated and then aimed at her!
"What is this?"
Tamamo-no-Mae quickly reached out, her aura surging, to prevent her Noble Phantasm from running wild.
But this caused the massive mirror to become chaotic, twisting back and forth like it was having a seizure, and even flickering!
"It's those two little devils!"
Tamamo-no-Mae realized the problem: the control over her Noble Phantasm was being interfered with.
And the only ones who could do that were those two little foxes who shared the same origin as her!
Indeed, it was just as Tamamo-no-Mae had thought.
From a distance, atop a tall building on the city's edge, two small figures were holding their hands high, working hard.
"Ahri, hurry up! Break the Boundary Field! It's really hard for me to fight for control of the Noble Phantasm with Sister!"
Xiao Yu gritted her teeth and shouted, her forehead already covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Beside her, Ahri was also working hard. Her task was to dispel the Boundary Field created by the Noble Phantasm's activation.
"Almost! Just give me! Ten more seconds!!"
Ahri's eyes glowed with silver light, and a large amount of silver-blue Demonic Power surged around her! Large drops of sweat fell from her face!
Tamamo-no-Mae gritted her teeth, fighting Xiao Yu for control of the mirror. Although Tamamo-no-Mae was clearly stronger in terms of mental energy, controlling the mirror had nothing to do with the strength of mental energy. Xiao Yu also didn't directly clash with Tamamo-no-Mae's mental energy, constantly maneuvering and dodging, as agile as a rabbit!
"Damn it!!"
Tamamo-no-Mae was annoyed by this unexpected complication. While fighting for control of the mirror, she waved her hand, manipulating the Demonic Energy around her, transforming it into sharp blades that shot across half the city towards the two little foxes!
"Oh no!"
Sensing the incoming attack, Xiao Yu quickly gave up fighting for control of the mirror, turning to embrace Ahri and leaping high into the air!
"Rumble!"
The tall building beneath their feet was instantly sliced open from the top by the Demonic Energy blades. Tamamo-no-Mae regained control of her Noble Phantasm at that moment, but in the very next instant, she realized there was still one more mental connection to the mirror!
"Ahhh!!"
Along with Ahri's cry, the Boundary Field covering the entire city suddenly collapsed!
The Mana in the air became active again!
"I did it! Sister, I did it!"
Ahri shouted excitedly, happy that she could help Mo Shuying.
But the next second!
"Boom!"
"Ah!"
A tornado suddenly descended from the sky, striking the two little foxes and slamming them directly into a tall building.
"Rumble!"
The outer wall of the high-rise was blasted through, and the two young girls were sent flying into the building, their fates unknown.
Kiichi Hōgen, with wings on her back, hovered in the air, holding a large feather fan. The tornado just now was her doing.
"Are these two little girls the Sessho-seki? It seems I should go a little easy on them. If I kill them, Tamamo-no-Mae might be unhappy."
A smile played on Kiichi Hōgen's lips. This was a great achievement. After speaking, she charged towards the building!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Tamamo-no-Mae's expression shifted slightly when she saw the Boundary Field disappear, but she quickly recovered.
She hadn't expected the two little girls to cause her so much trouble.
Fortunately, she saw that Kiichi Hōgen had arrived. With Kiichi Hōgen there, the two little girls definitely wouldn't be able to cause any more trouble. This way, she would have time to properly enjoy Mo Shuying's essence!
"Tsk~ I can't delay any longer. After a person dies, their essence dissipates quickly. It wouldn't taste good if it gets too cold. I should just get straight to it~"
Tamamo-no-Mae licked her lips and flew towards Mo Shuying. Looking at the motionless Mo Shuying, she reached out and lifted Mo Shuying's chin, then opened her mouth and began to absorb.
"Mmm~"
The moment she touched Mo Shuying and felt the immense energy within him, Tamamo-no-Mae's tails stood on end!
It was too delicious!
Vast as the ocean!
Tamamo-no-Mae felt that the energy from this one person alone was equivalent to the total sum of all the city lives she had absorbed before!
It was a pity he was already dead. Otherwise, if she could take him back and keep him, he would be a reactor that could continuously provide her with energy!
As she continued to absorb, Tamamo-no-Mae's body pressed tightly against Mo Shuying's. Her hand involuntarily rested on Mo Shuying's chest. His upper garment was already ruined, leaving his chest exposed. As Tamamo-no-Mae placed her hand there, her fingertips suddenly paused!
"Hm?"
A heartbeat!
Though extremely faint, Tamamo-no-Mae still sensed it.
With a puzzled expression, Tamamo-no-Mae opened her eyes! For a moment, her gaze met Mo Shuying's.
"You!"
Tamamo-no-Mae lifted her head, ready to flee, but the next second, a fist slammed into her stomach!
*"Bang!"*
"Wah!"
Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes widened, and her body scrunched up, a look of pain on her face.
The next second, a long sword pierced through Tamamo-no-Mae's back!
*"Puff!"*
The long sword entered from her back and emerged from her chest! The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi could not only be wielded by the Skeleton Giant but could also transform to a regular size for Mo Shuying's use.
Tamamo-no-Mae stared at Mo Shuying, utterly astonished. Clearly!
"You! You clearly— cough!"
Tamamo-no-Mae coughed up blood, looking at Mo Shuying, unable to believe she had been tricked by a man!
"What? Did you think I was dead? While I'd love to tell you I've died once already, I'm sorry, I'm not quite there yet. For someone like me, as long as I have a breath left, it only takes about ten seconds to fully recover. I merely used a technique to conceal my presence and feigned death."
Mo Shuying actually wanted to die once. If he died and then revived, he would gain significant resistance to Tamamo-no-Mae's attacks, making it easier to deal with her.
But unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Although the Noble Phantasm's attack power was strong, it didn't take Mo Shuying's life, leaving him with a breath. Without being attacked, he would have fully recovered in ten seconds at most.
After that, it was Mo Shuying's time to perform. He played dead quite convincingly, going undetected by Tamamo-no-Mae, then successfully launched a sneak attack.
"You!"
With a sword embedded in her chest, Tamamo-no-Mae glared furiously at Mo Shuying, trying to gather her strength. The Noble Phantasm behind her and the Demonic Energy Cloud below her attempted to launch an attack simultaneously, but Mo Shuying interrupted them with a chokehold!
"Stop struggling."
Mo Shuying tightened his fingers, preparing to snap Tamamo-no-Mae's slender neck, but just then—
"Stop! If you want them to live."
Kiichi Hōgen flew over rapidly, holding a small child in each hand.
"Daddy!"
"Father!"
The two little girls had clearly suffered, with visible injuries on their bodies. Mo Shuying's brow furrowed as he looked, and unconcealed killing intent surged outwards!
"Let them go!"
Mo Shuying spoke coldly, then watched as Kiichi Hōgen extended a hand and tossed Xiao Yu over.
"Hm?"
Mo Shuying hadn't expected Kiichi Hōgen to be so decisive. He reached out and caught Xiao Yu, but a red rune on Xiao Yu's body lit up! Instantly, a blinding light filled Mo Shuying's eyes!
