I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 277: Stand Up and Kick
The sword was made by Shibata Katsuya's father after he went to Shunkain's house to ask for the sword. He also gave the swordsmith a big gift before the master agreed to start the furnace casting. After he got it, he hung it on his waist for three months without taking it off.

Carefully wipe the knife with oil for maintenance every once in a while. Only use the knife to chop and nourish the spirits of small demons and ghosts. If you encounter a powerful demon, just pick up the knife and run away.

He usually holds her when he sleeps, and he is closer to her than to his girlfriend.

Seeing Dong Ye Yu holding it and chopping stones at this time was even more painful than seeing his girlfriend being stood up and kicked by someone.

After so many cuts, wouldn't the blade be blunt?
Please, be gentle.
Shibata Katsuya's eyes were weak and desperate. Higashino Yu crossed the cut hole and seemed to start killing everyone. A shikigami wearing a bamboo hat rushed over to stop him, but was frightened by his sword and retreated in a hurry, escaping through the wall.

Yasuhiro Yumen's eyelids were twitching. Was this kid going to capture all the elite troops of Kyushu here?

At this moment, Suzakuin Heizo said in a deep voice: "Look at what you have done?! Wake up, boy, and wake up from the bewitching voice of the vengeful ghost!"

After saying this, the talisman drawn with golden thread floating in front of him shone brightly.

It's Lord Suzakuin's unique skill, my little chess ball is saved!
Shibata Katsuya cried with joy, and many demon hunters also showed hope. If they could capture this kid, Lord Suzakuin's unique skill would definitely be an astonishing one. What would it be?
The blazing fire of the gods?
Just as they were guessing, an illusory giant bird wrapped in flames flew out from the dazzling talisman. This divine bird was extraordinary and heroic, its body was red, and it was bigger than a peacock. It had three gorgeous tail feathers burning with endless flames. After circling, it looked at Dong Ye Yu.

"Could it be the legendary divine bird Suzaku?!"

"It's just borrowing a little bit of the power of the divine bird, but even so it's quite extraordinary. Ordinary big monsters would probably flee if they saw it."

"Hahaha, kid, surrender quickly, otherwise the divine fire will burn you to death!"

Just as the demon hunters were guessing what power the incarnation of Lord Suzaku would use to subdue this arrogant boy, they saw the divine bird fly in front of Dong Yeyu and chirp at him.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

"what?"

Dong Yeyu was a little confused. This is the Red Bird? What bird language is it speaking? I am a fox, I don't understand.

And aren't you a red bird? Why do you sound like a sparrow?
Seeing his confused look, the divine bird silently gave him a pair of wings. The illusory and blazing wings seemed to be real and almost made Dong Ye Yu stumble.

He probably didn't know what Dong Yeyu was complaining about in his heart, otherwise he might have given him some Nanming Lihuo to taste.

Then the Suzaku phantom seemed to want to say something, but the floating talisman had already burned out, and it turned into sparks and dissipated.

".That's it?"

The demon hunters looked at each other, then looked at Suzakuin Heizo.

The old man didn't know what was going on. When he used this magic talisman before, its deterrent power was full. It was hard to explain, so he could only nod with a straight face: "The Vermillion Bird Great Bright Divine Mantra is like this. It uses the clear sound of the divine bird to drive away evil spirits and awaken people's minds."

Exorcists such as Shibata Katsuya were stunned. Didn't they burn him to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy?

Suzakuin Heizo saw through the thoughts of these juniors at a glance, waved his haori sleeves, and snorted coldly: "What? Do you think I really want to kill him?"

"This kid was just bewitched by the vengeful ghost. It was not his intention to attack. As a senior in the demon exorcist community, I am not so vindictive. Although a famous sword is precious, it is not as precious as human life. As long as he apologizes formally after he wakes up, I can let bygones be bygones."

After that, he looked at Dong Yeyu and stretched out his hand: "Well, it's time for you to wake up, right? Hand over the ghost whose eyes are blinded by resentment to me for salvation."

Dong Ye Yu, who was shrouded in hazy fairy light, was about to teach these demon hunters a lesson. He was a little surprised when he heard this. He thought that the old man would be so furious that he would kill him because he had broken his sword.

Now it seems that although the old man is domineering and unwilling to listen to advice, he still behaves like a senior.

Dong Yeyu held a knife and swept his eyes over the demon exorcists. Every demon exorcist who was being watched lowered his head and dared not look at him.

Well, that's about it, that's about it.

Dong Yeyu thought about it and looked at the original owner of the sword in his hand: "Your sword is good, what is it called?"

What does its name mean, you ask?
Shibata Katsuya was afraid that he would snatch his sword and beat him, so he said carefully: "Xiao, Xiao Qiwan. It's not a good sword. It's just made of very ordinary materials. It's only existed for a short time, only three to five years. It hasn't been able to accumulate any spiritual energy. It's not worthy of you."

"Xiaoqiwan? It's a nice name, and the knife is also very good. Hurry up, you still have time to say goodbye to it."

Dong Ye Yu said this and threw the knife in his hand to the demon hunter without any reluctance.

If a weapon that has not been nurtured by one's own magic power is used directly to slay demons, it will quickly decay because it cannot withstand the power of slaying demons.

What does it mean? What does it mean to say goodbye?
Shibata Katsuya was a little confused, and carefully caught the small chess ball thrown to him. He saw that the blade was shiny and sharp, with a faint halo-like aura attached to it, and it seemed to have become much more extraordinary.

He was surprised and delighted, he hugged the sword and gave it a big kiss, and was about to put it back into the scabbard, but found that the aura quickly dissipated, and the originally bright silver sword body rusted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon became a broken sword covered with rust, which began to fall apart at the slightest touch.

"Little Qiwan!!!"

With tears and snot, Katsuya Shibata carefully put the broken sword back into the exquisite scabbard, then he hugged the scabbard and burst into tears.

The demon hunters who were participating in the siege of Dong Ye Yu glanced at the broken knife in their hands and suddenly felt fortunate that the knife could be reconnected after being broken. In such a weird situation, it was estimated that there would be no possibility of even recycling it?
"Why bother? I've already said that."

Dong Ye Yu sighed and said sorry in his heart, things didn't have to come to this point, you guys insisted on forcing me.

You can't blame yourself for this. After all, you were the ones who started it first. You can't just not fight back or respond when you're being beaten or scolded, right?

If we fight, there will definitely be losses.

Either you lose or I lose. I, a fox, have been wandering for several years. It is not easy for me to save some money now. I am so poor that only a handful of clear coins are worth a little money.

This is the famous sword heirloomed in the Miko family. We really can't afford to lose it, so I have to inconvenience you.

After saying that, Higashino Yu looked at Suzakuin Heizo with a serious expression.

"Senior, I have always been clear-headed. I said that I believe that with the moral character of a teacher, I will never do evil, and I have enough strength and confidence to avoid any possibility. But you did not listen to the advice and insisted on taking action. You have to bear considerable responsibility for the consequences."

"Shifan is my benefactor. He is no longer able to walk the road to the underworld. Before he rests in peace, I must fulfill his wish."

Because the old man looked like a senior, Dong Yeyu also showed some courtesy to him, and then looked at the demon exorcists present. "I understand your concerns, but one of Shifan's wishes is to witness me win the Jade Dragon Banner championship. I, Dong Yeyu, have always been grateful for kindness and revenge for hatred. Shifan has been kind to me, and I will never hand him over to you. If you want to do it, come and try now, and you can still save your life."

As he spoke, Dong Yeyu's eyes were sharp and piercing.

"If I catch you casting a spell or doing something bad in the future, I will do whatever it takes to get revenge on you. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You can call me vindictive or petty, it doesn't matter. Fame means nothing to me."

The demon hunters looked at each other, speechless. Should we take action now?
With so many people and the Shikigami working together, they couldn't even last a minute. If they fight alone, they will probably be defeated in seconds and humiliate themselves. What's the point of fighting?

But I've suffered heavy losses on this trip. I can't just let it go, right?
Yasuhiro Mikado looked at the expressions of the crowd and knew that he should stand up. He said in a deep voice: "I am also responsible for this matter. I will compensate for the losses of the younger generations."

He didn't dare to ask for compensation - he simply couldn't afford it.

He didn't expect Suzakuin Heizo to share the responsibility with him. After all, the old man lost Daozheng, who had followed him since his youth. This famous sword was more than ten times more valuable than the swords of all the demon hunters combined.

After saying this, the demon hunters were horrified: "Senior Yumen, this is unacceptable! The losses are all caused by our low magical powers. We have brought this upon ourselves. How can we ask you to pay for it?"

"No need to say more--"

After several refusals, Yasuhiro Goto insisted on taking responsibility, which eliminated most of the resentment.

Seeing that the resentment on everyone's faces had almost disappeared, Yasuhiro Mikado felt relieved despite feeling sorry for his family's financial situation.

After all, everyone came here to deal with the incident because of the fame of himself and old man Suzakuin. If, as a senior, I just stand by and do nothing when something goes wrong, I won't have any prestige in the future.

For Yasuhiro Mikado, who came from a wealthy local family, fame was more important than material possessions.

Zhuqueyuan Heizo refused to give up, pointing at Dongye Yu's nose and questioning: "What will you do if that old ghost makes trouble later?"

If Shifan was going to get out of control, he should have absorbed the resentment of the battlefield and turned into a fierce ghost when he died. Why did he wait until now?
Of course, the possibility of a one-time accident cannot be ruled out. Dong Yeyu pondered for a second and promised: "If Shifan loses control and causes harm, I will personally save him and then go to the senior's house to apologize. I will compensate for your losses, including your knife. How about it?"

"Innocent!"

Suzakuin Heizo snorted coldly, "Not to mention that Zheng has been with me for many years and has already become a spirit, how can we measure the emotional value of it? Compensation? Even if you sell your entire body, you still can't afford it!"

The old man looked Dong Yeyu up and down, with a look on his face that said 'I've known for a long time that you're a pauper', and waved his hands with a look of annoyance.

"I don't want you to pay for it either. I just want to ask you, if he loses control and causes a loss of life, what will you do?"

"Not to mention that there is no possibility that the teacher will get out of control. Even if there is, if I can't control the teacher after it gets out of control with my cultivation, then if I hand the teacher over to you now, won't that harm you?"

Dongye Yu was a little speechless. Where did all those ifs come from? Did he really think that he would be ten times stronger when he turned evil and could become a ghost or god with just a thought?

All ghosts and gods are the result of the right time, right place and right people. At the very least, they need to be nurtured in a Feng Shui treasure land for hundreds of years before they can have any future.

Shifan has been in this broken sword for four or five hundred years, and his soul has become a sieve. Even if he wanted to become a ghost, he doesn't have the conditions to do so.

Suzakuin Heizo shook his head.

"That was the sword saint Arima Tadayasu. He was isolated and helpless back then. Before he died, he and more than a dozen of his warriors strangled hundreds of enemy soldiers before he died of exhaustion. I wonder how much resentment he had accumulated."

"Although I don't know why you are still sane and haven't turned into a ghost, how can the lives of tens of thousands of people depend on the promises of a young boy like you?"

Talking about the status of the normal school, Higashino Yu is actually a little strange.

Logically, he should have been filled with resentment after such a tragic death, but Shifan's soul was quite stable and his mind was clear - in other words, he could not remember that he was dead.

Apart from the fact that he had stayed in the secular world for too long, and the yang energy had eroded his soul and body over time, causing serious damage to his spirit and soul, an injury that could not be recovered without a magical medicine, he did not seem to be haunted by any resentment.

Perhaps a great monk came to chant sutras? The Arima family was also a samurai family in the past.

"What do you want, senior? I can't give up my teaching position anyway."

Higashino Yu was very determined. His life as a teacher had been full of twists and turns, but he had to leave in peace before his eternal end.

Whether there is a reward for repaying a favor or not, Higashino Yu will do this.

It's not that he doesn't care about the lives of tens of thousands of people. Now he has the magical skills to slay demons and monsters, and he has magic weapons. He is incredibly stable and is not afraid of any unexpected situations.

His cultivation level is close to that of the Golden Elixir, and he has added many magical skills to protect himself, plus the Pure Yang Sword Box given by Yuanjun.

With this configuration, let alone a demon out of control, what if a hundred demons were to parade at night? Could they withstand a sword strike from the Pure Yang Immortal?

You should know that the Pure Yang Sword can be used three times.

Dongye Yu was fearless, but Suzakuin Heizo didn't know that he had such a magical weapon, and Dongye Yu couldn't tell him the truth.

If this news reaches Shuten-doji's ears and fails to have the desired effect, that would be a problem.

"Bastard!"

The old man was so angry that his face turned red. He picked up the remaining half of Dao Zheng and threw it at Dong Ye Yu.

Dong Ye Yu reached out and grabbed the half of Dao Zheng in his hand, feeling speechless. It was impossible for him to reveal his secrets and put the old man in front of him at ease. He felt a little guilty and it was difficult to argue.

After all, I was also negligent in this matter. I didn't expect that just a ghost that was about to die would make these Kyushu demon hunters so nervous.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the Jade Dragon Flag attracted too many spectators. When there are too many people, there might be trouble.

But generally speaking, every demon hunter has a personal shikigami, demons, ghosts, and the like - and not all shikigami are demons. There are many demon hunters who have appointed powerful ghosts and gods as shikigami.

Perhaps it's because I've come into contact with too many ghosts, demons, and monsters recently, and I haven't seen how active the demon hunters in Tokyo are, which has led to my inertial thinking.

This is probably the truth that even a wise man can make mistakes. What's more, I am not a wise man, so there are still some omissions in my thoughts.
