I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 172: Sorrow and Blood
The demons transformed into their original forms, including spiders the size of houses with horns and heads of bulls, vengeful ghosts wearing white wedding gowns, multi-eyed ghosts holding lanterns, ghosts wearing monk's robes and with green skin, and so on.

They have different appearances, with a fishy smell all over their bodies and ferocious faces as if they were about to devour someone. The scene is even more terrifying than the legendary Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.

A centipede with a hairy mane, a green face and fangs laughed as it rushed out of the white mist. It was shaped like a train with a winding body.

boom!
The giant transformed from a ghost punched a demon with a single scarlet eye into the ground, and kicked the centipede monster in half, breaking it into several pieces.

"what!!"

The centipede monster's body struggled wildly, and its head rolled not far away, letting out a miserable howl.

call out!
Then he was hit on the forehead by Qilang's feather arrow and exploded on the spot, with fragments and pulp all over the ground.

Seeing this, a passing demon changed its target, squatted on the ground and began to devour the remains of the centipede monster.

Upon seeing this, the other demons fell silent and paced around the giant, their previous arrogance was immediately suppressed.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami protected his two younger sisters and kept an eye on the positions of the four great monsters at all times, making sure that they would not be exposed to the eyes of the overwhelming monsters because they could not keep up with their pace.

Just then, she suddenly noticed dozens of humans appearing on the left side of the battlefield, dressed like exorcists from the Ueda family.

These demon hunters, both men and women, were all wearing black haori and stood together in an orderly manner.

The surging magic power was linked together in a mysterious way, and a formation with a golden halo appeared under the feet of Shu, who had transformed into a giant ghost.

laugh!
Shu was bound in the formation, and the white light burned him like a raging fire, causing smoke to rise.

He screamed in pain, glared at the Ueda family's demon hunters, and rushed left and right in the formation, watching as the formation was about to collapse.

Holding an antique bronze mirror, Hideki Ueda slowly walked to the front of the Ueda family's demon hunters, looked around the battlefield, and sighed.

"It's such a beautiful fairyland, but it's turned into this, with monsters everywhere. It's really ugly."

After saying this, he bowed to the demon exorcists around him and spoke very politely.

"Please hold on for a while longer. We are enforcing justice on behalf of heaven. We have to kill that evil god and clean up this ruined country to complete our mission."

Immediately afterwards, the bronze mirror in Ueda Hideki's arms flashed, and the giant ghost in the distance suddenly disappeared.

When I looked again, I found that he had appeared in the mirror without me noticing. He was observing his surroundings and waving his fists from time to time, as if he wanted to smash the mirror.

Ueda Hideki smiled and said, "Don't waste your energy. This is a sacred artifact left by the ancient Lingze water god. Not to mention you, an evil ghost, even if the demon fox is sucked in, it will not be able to get out."

"Despicable!" Shu was furious in the mirror.

Just as Ueda Hideki was about to say something, he looked at an arrow covered in white light that was shot towards him. His face changed drastically and he hurriedly blocked it with a mirror.

when!
The bronze mirror made a dull sound and knocked the arrow away.

Hideki Ueda took a quick look and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the bronze mirror was fine.

Ignoring Shu who was trapped in the mirror, he retreated holding the mirror under the protection of the demon hunters.

After Shu was taken away, Heihachi wielded his spear to kill the demons on the side and rushed to the front.

Although he is also very big, he is still far inferior to Shu who can turn into a giant.

And there was only one monster, and two fists were no match for four hands, so there was no way to stop all the monsters.

"A tender little girl!"

A demon floating in the air stared at Kaori and Shiori, its bloodshot eyes widened and its rotten teeth drooled with smelly and turbid saliva.

This demon has only one head, about the size of a Japanese-style room, with all the facial features intact.

He looked like an ugly middle-aged man with thick hair and beard and a greedy look. He took advantage of the opportunity to rush towards the two sisters.

Kaori and Shiori had thrown their talismans around randomly in the white fog, and now they had basically lost their combat effectiveness.

Seeing the demons coming, they could only hug each other subconsciously, their pale faces full of panic.

"Sister! Ah Yu!"

Clang!
puff!
The sharp knife chopped on the demon's face, leaving a long and narrow bloody wound from the upper right to the bottom.

"pain!"

The flying-head demon screamed and retreated a distance.

"Hide behind me."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami said in a deep voice, holding a knife to face the demon, while looking around with a serious look. Scattered paper figures and talismans occasionally drove away the demons that tried to approach.

"How dare you cut my face!"

"I'm going to peel your skin off!"

The flying-headed demon that was hit by the knife made a crazy sound and rushed over whistling.

Jinguji Hiiragi narrowed his eyes slightly and reached into his pocket with one hand.

call!
A strange sound came from the distance, the sharp whistling and exploding sound of flames cutting through the air.

The girl turned her head and saw several balls of surging golden-red fox fire.

The flames came over like a comet with a long flame tail, and one of the flames accurately hit the flying head demon.

boom!
The huge head suddenly burst into flames, the skin was burned to pieces, and a strange burnt smell filled the air.

"Do not!!!"

The flying-headed demon howled and crashed around like a flying fireball, seriously injuring many demons and even setting them on fire.

This relieved a lot of pressure on the monsters present.

"It's Ayu!"

The two sisters, Kaori and Shiori, looked in the direction of the foxfire with expectation. Their cute little faces were suddenly stunned, and they murmured weakly, "Sister. Ayu-ta."

When Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami heard the voice, he turned around subconsciously.

In the center of the raccoon village surrounded by many buildings, behind the torii gate, there is the roof of the highest temple.

A huge white fox was surrounded by several balls of golden-red flames, with an extraordinary aura.

But compared with the huge waves that seemed like a world-destroying natural disaster that he was facing, it seemed extremely small, and a feeling of despair and powerlessness arose spontaneously.

In fact, not only is the white fox's situation desperate, the current situation is not optimistic either.

The four great monsters were able to suppress the monsters at first and protect the villagers of Tanuki Village from being harmed, but after many demon hunters from the Uda family joined the battlefield——

Especially the bronze mirror in Ueda Hideki's hand directly took in the forgiveness.

Suddenly, a great monster was missing, and Chiyo Kujiro went deep into the enemy's territory alone, resulting in her being besieged by dozens of monsters. The remaining Shichiro and Heihachi could not resist all the monsters even if they fought hard.

Civet cat monsters were constantly being captured by demons from the group, and the terrifying chewing sounds were faintly heard in such a noisy battlefield.

"Don't eat me! Don't eat me!"

The raccoon cat monsters were in a panic, and many of them turned into their original forms and ran away.

"Don't run!"

The slightly bloated Tanuki Goro screamed in vain and looked around.

The land under my feet is still the land of Li Village, but the scene before my eyes is like a nightmare.

The ever-bright sky revealed another face.

Dark clouds rolled, thunder roared, and the surrounding was filled with turbid and evil clouds.

The flashing pale lightning illuminated the greedy grin of the demon hiding in the demon cloud. What filled my ears were howling, screaming, roaring, and the chewing sound that followed me like a shadow.

This is not a paradise, it's hell.

It is a realistic picture of hell.

Tanuko Goro's legs were shaking. In the eyes of his juniors, he had always been a calm and generous tanuki who always seemed to have a solution to some difficult problems.

But in fact, he is just an ordinary middle-aged civet cat.

The fat raccoon cat dressed like a farmer looked blankly at the scene around him, and then looked at the big monsters fighting against the demons.

Even the big monsters can't do anything about it.

Tanuki Goro felt a little disheartened for a moment. He had lived in fear for so many years, so why not just be eaten?

"Wulang, Elder Tanuki asked you to lead us. What should we do?"

"If we don't respond, our Li Township will be destroyed!"

The senior raccoon cat monsters around him shouted loudly.

Tanuki Goro was startled and looked back at his fellow villagers and family members who were also panicked, and his eyes fell on Taodong who was running towards him not far away.

The raccoon cat girl was out of breath. A demon had already set its sights on her, but because of the fox demon aura on the famous sword in her arms, it did not dare to move forward for the time being.

The raccoon village cannot be destroyed.

This was the only thought in Tanuki Goro's mind at the moment. He threw down the heavy bag on his back and started running and shouting.

"Don't run around, let's protect our family together!"

Seeing that he had an idea, the older raccoon cats with higher seniority responded one after another, and the raccoon cat monsters with spellcasting abilities began to gather rapidly.

Among them are some who are entangled in karma, probably the raccoon cats who helped the raccoon to lure mortals into the fairyland.

"Quick! Stop them!"

The raccoon cats transformed into their original forms, huddled together, stepped on their companions' shoulders, and instantly formed a wall of raccoon cats like a stack of monks.

After the green light flashed, the thin barrier of flesh and blood turned into a furious Vajra, wrapped in immortal clothes, holding a vajra in his hand, with Buddha light behind his head and faint Sanskrit sounds coming out, as if thousands of monks were chanting Buddhist scriptures.

This change scared quite a few demons.

But soon, the demons discovered that this Vajra was not very aggressive and they felt nothing when the Vajra hit them.

"This is an illusion, eat them!"

The demons laughed cruelly, rushed forward, and used their sharp claws and fangs to tear at the giant King Kong statue wearing precious armor. Civet cats were constantly torn off the King Kong's body with screams.

All these civet cats are trying so hard to do is to turn themselves into targets so that the demons will turn their targets to them instead of the elderly, the weak, women and children.

The old, weak, women and children who were hiding behind King Kong cried and wailed when they saw their family members being eaten.

Mr. Higashino
Taodong hid among the group of raccoon cats, shrunk his little head, and hugged Chengming Ichimonji Nagamitsu tightly in his arms. He was trembling all over, and his eyes looked at the white fox in the distance from time to time.

"Ha, this raccoon is so fat!"

A demon in monk's robes with Buddhist beads made of skulls hanging around his neck reached out his hand and the giant Vajra statue flashed. A fat civet cat was caught in his hand and kept struggling.

"Wu Lang!" The giant King Kong statue was very anxious, but there were demons crawling all around him and he could not protect himself, so he was helpless.

"Let me go, let me go--"

"Noisy!"

The demon stuffed Tanuki Goro into its fang-filled mouth and chewed it lightly, causing blood to flow out from between its teeth.

Half of the raccoon's body was devoured, and its upper body fell to the ground in a bloody mess.

He opened his eyes and looked at the miserable civet cats, and suddenly his brain buzzed and he no longer felt any pain.

The scene in front of me gradually became blurred. In the haze, I could hear the chirping of cicadas and the wind chimes hung with ceramic fragments making crisp tinkling sounds in the hot wind.

Tanuko Goro saw a small tanuki and a large tanuki with a sturdy body but blurry face sitting on the edge of the house to enjoy the cool air on a bright summer afternoon.

The little raccoon cat complained, "They all bully me. I don't want to stay in the raccoon village anymore. Father, let's go."

Although the big raccoon's face was blurry, his hearty voice was still clear. He heard the little raccoon's complaint, so he asked with a smile.

"Wulang, before we started training, we couldn't beat bears, tigers, jackals, and wolves. Even dogs could bully us."

"After training, they only know a few simple illusions among the monsters, and no great monsters have ever appeared. Why can they be passed down when surrounded by evil ghosts and monsters?"

Before the little raccoon could answer, the big raccoon went out for something urgent and never came back.

He died at the hands of human hunters in order to save a few playful little raccoons.

Tanuki Goro closed his eyes, and vaguely, the voice seemed to have a follow-up, still a hearty laugh.

"Wu Lang, it seems you understand, you did a great job!"

"."

Did I do well?
In the peach forest not far away, there was a group of demon hunters hiding under clusters of flowers. There were not many of them, only less than ten people, and they were followed by several shikigami.

It was the young generation of demon hunters who had been in the demon hunter team before.

Compared to before entering the peach forest, there were fewer people and everyone was injured. Fortunately, no one was missing any limbs.

These demon hunters looked at the battlefield in the distance with great surprise.

"Demons and demons are fighting?"

Holding a Zen stick in his hand and with his robes somewhat tattered, Renshu shook his head slightly with his eyes closed.

"Demons and monsters are fighting. Look at the foul smell coming from those monsters. They must have eaten a lot of people. Look at the group of raccoons and the big monsters. Although they are monsters, they don't have any blood. They must be people who have practiced hard."

Junpei Kusaka pointed at the group of tanuki with some surprise.

"Isn't that the eldest daughter of the Jinguji family? And those two twin sisters, why are they with the monsters? And where is Tono-kun?"

A demon hunter sighed and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's already."

The others fell silent upon hearing this. Many elders tried their best to open a passage for themselves and others. When they finally took it out, they entered the fairyland of gods.

Now we are facing a powerful enemy and demons are rampant, and there is one less combat force we can hope to gain.

"Wait, Ueda Hideki?! Bastard, return my uncle's life to me! Ming, help me get revenge!"

A young demon hunter discovered Ueda Hideki and others and became furious. In anger, he rushed to the battlefield with his own Shikigami.

The remaining demon hunters frowned and turned their gazes to Renshu.

"Master Renshu, what should we do now?"

"This poor monk is removing the demon."

Renshu stood up, holding his Zen staff, and clasped his hands together and said, "Namo Medicine Master Liuli Light Tathagata."

Ding Ding Ding!
The iron ring on the Zen staff made a crisp sound, and the tall monk raised the Zen staff, his whole body tensed like a big bow.

The exposed skin was jade-colored with a faint golden glow, and the muscles were tautly stretched under the heavy monk's robes, giving off a reassuring sense of strength.

Whoosh!
The staff was thrown out with unparalleled force, and the monk followed closely behind with great strides.
