Nezha found the Demonic Power on the two little girls familiar, and the two little girls also felt there was something off about Nezha! They felt like Nezha's gaze made them feel like prey being stared down by a natural predator!
The two little ones, who had been fearless since birth, except when it came to Mo Shuying, were now suddenly quiet, as docile as rabbits.
Meanwhile.
"Kiichi Hōgen, are you ready to face my judgment?"
Mo Shuying looked at Kiichi Hōgen. Though the two had no past grievances, Kiichi Hōgen had just bullied his two daughters, and that was enough to create a deep enmity! What father wouldn't seek retribution when his daughters were bullied?
Before Kiichi Hōgen could speak, Tomoe Gozen interjected.
"Mr. Mo! Is she working with Ashiya Doman? Should we ask about Ashiya Doman's whereabouts first?"
Tomoe Gozen's target was Ashiya Doman. Her return to Nihon this time was solely to kill Ashiya Doman with her own hands.
"Ashiya Doman? Hmph, that useless fellow must have run by now. A scoundrel terrified of death, yet still dreaming of accomplishing great things, it's truly laughable."
Kiichi Hōgen hadn't seen Ashiya Doman for over a day, and she suspected he had already fled, quite possibly even left Nihon.
Upon hearing this, Tomoe Gozen's brows furrowed. This was exactly what she had been worried about. The world was vast, and if Ashiya Doman chose to escape, then catching him for revenge would become incredibly difficult.
Seeing the atmosphere suddenly quiet down, the restless Ibaraki Doji grew impatient.
"Hey, hey, hey! Are we fighting or not?! You're taking too long! The enemy is that woman with wings, right?! Then let me at her!"
Ibaraki Doji roared, leaping into the air! A crimson bone blade appeared in her hand, and she brought it down fiercely on Kiichi Hōgen!
"Take this!"
The battle-hungry Ibaraki Doji aimed for a kill with her very first move! When it came to enemies, she knew nothing of holding back.
But Kiichi Hōgen was not to be trifled with. She was also a Great Tengu of Kurama, a powerful Demon just like Ibaraki Doji, even more ancient than Ibaraki Doji. How could her strength be weak?!
*Clang!*
Kiichi Hōgen raised her hand, and a simple broadsword appeared, effortlessly blocking Ibaraki Doji's attack, and then!
"Ignorant fool! Kyohachi-ryu!"
Kiichi Hōgen was the founder of the ancient sword art known as Kyohachi-ryu, and she herself was an extraordinary individual. Her swordsmanship, Onmyodo, and military strategy were all top-tier!
Kiichi Hōgen gripped the broadsword with both hands and moved her body, instantly displaying her superb martial arts.
Unlike Ibaraki Doji's wild hacking, Kiichi Hōgen's sword was sharp and dazzling. Every strike landed precisely on Ibaraki Doji's points of force, and a mere touch could inflict a wound on Ibaraki Doji.
Ibaraki Doji's expression turned grim, transitioning from intense battlelust to immense frustration.
Seeing her younger sister being bullied, Shuten Doji, who had looked weary, suddenly perked up.
"This girl, she doesn't know how to adapt at all."
With that, Shuten Doji leaped out! The gourd in her hand quickly opened! A long sword shot out from within the gourd!
"Ibaraki! I'll help you!"
Shuten Doji grabbed the hilt of the sword and charged at Kiichi Hōgen. The two demons of Mount Oe Castle battled the Great Tengu of Kurama! The three began releasing their Mana. Ibaraki Doji's Mana manifested as fire, Shuten Doji's as water, while Kiichi Hōgen's was astonishing, possessing all four elements—wind, fire, water, and electricity—appearing truly magnificent.
However.
Mo Shuying did not let his guard down. He still hadn't received confirmation of killing Tamamo-no-Mae. Although he had pretended not to notice, he had actually raised his vigilance to the highest level, constantly ready to fend off a sudden attack.
As Mo Shuying observed his surroundings.
The surrounding Demons began acting strangely.
These Demons had been called as reinforcements, and many had no real intention of fighting. Moreover, after seeing the enemy's strength, most of them had already begun to retreat.
They were newly born Demons who hadn't yet fully enjoyed the conveniences of this new era. Dying now would truly be a pity.
Many Demons thought this, already starting to fall back, but then suddenly...
"Go~ Kill them~"
A seductive voice echoed in their ears. These Demons, who had been contemplating retreat, suddenly froze. Then!
*Roar!!*
Just one voice made the thoughts of these Demons vanish. Now, they had only one idea in their minds!
"Kill!!"
*Roar!!*
The army of Demons, who had been merely spectating, suddenly launched an attack. Some Demons didn't initially want to fight, but seeing the Demons around them charge forward, they thought for a moment, then roared and rushed out as well!
First dozens, then hundreds! Their eyes were bloodshot as if they held some deep-seated hatred!
"They seem to be controlled."
Chiron's eyesight was unparalleled; he immediately noticed something was off about these Demons.
"They look like they've been charmed."
Nezha spoke, and the little girls clutched under its arms trembled, seemingly sensing something.
"There are quite a few of them. Looks like this will take some effort."
Chiron reached for a longbow. While his words expressed concern, his hands drew the bowstring so rapidly it created illusions!
"Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump!"
The twang of bowstrings echoed continuously as a dozen arrows shot towards the group of demons, but then, they simply passed through each demon!
Everyone thought Chiron had missed, but then!
"Puff-puff-puff-puff-puff!"
The arrows suddenly embedded themselves consecutively into the air! And the air erupted into bloody blossoms!
"Ah!"
As the blood flowers bloomed, a scream rang out, and four furry fox tails appeared out of nowhere! With her tails pierced by arrows, Tamamo-no-Mae's once beautiful face appeared before everyone!
"You really weren't dead."
The moment Mo Shuying spoke, he charged forward! Tamamo-no-Mae's tails had gone from 5 to 4; this must be some kind of life-saving secret technique, sacrificing a fox tail to preserve her life.
But she only had so many fox tails. Mo Shuying was eager to see how many more times she could revive!
"Charge! Tear him apart!"
Tamamo-no-Mae shook her tails, forcing the arrows out, and simultaneously gave the order. The demons she had charmed fearlessly lunged at Mo Shuying, but just as they got close!
"Bang!"
One punch!
The demon at the very front was instantly blown apart.
And that wasn't all! Simultaneously, a Frostfire Domain, over 500 meters in diameter, expanded with Mo Shuying at its center! The old Mo Shuying wasn't suited for group combat, but now, it was different!
"Ah!!"
Within the Frostfire Domain, the unluckiest demons were instantly petrified, their stony bodies plummeting from the sky.
Then came the ice and fire. These charging demons continuously glowed with icy blue and fiery red light. Their speed was instantly reduced to the absolute minimum! Every one of them moved at a snail's pace. Though they still gnashed their teeth and clawed, they couldn't offer even a hint of resistance! Mo Shuying cut straight through them! Leaving behind more than a dozen blown-apart demons!
