I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 320 Yan Returns
Dong Yeyu shook his head: "If I let you go out, I'm afraid you won't just do the things you said, right? Ten thousand miles of ghost land, nine out of ten houses are empty, which one do you think is more suitable for your vision?"

The corpse demon grinned: "Haha, apprentice, why do you, a monster, care about the life and death of humans?"

Dong Ye Yu hesitated for two seconds and subconsciously wanted to make something up. However, although the person in front of him was a corpse demon, he didn't know whether the teacher was still conscious. As the teacher was dying, perhaps he should be more serious.

So after careful consideration, Higashino Yu gave his own answer.

"Strangers are not that important to me, but I like beautiful things or events, such as the morning sun, flowers, rice fields baked by the sun and filled with the fragrance of wheat, tree-lined paths with sunshine, money picked up on the road, delicious food, wonderful movies, cute girls, and the occasional glimpse of the smiles of ordinary people and their relatives on the street when they squeeze out time to go shopping, as well as many other insignificant but pleasant beauties that I get a glimpse of."

"I have experienced the evil of human nature, and I have also accepted the gentleness and kindness of human nature, so I know that there are many bad things in the world, but it is not that bad."

"If you eat them all, then all of them will disappear. Then will you have to watch evil spirits fighting and devouring each other every day?"

Dong Yeyu shook his head: "Besides, the first person you wanted to eat was me, right?"

"You and I were master and disciple, but in the end we ended up fighting each other. As a master, I really can't bear it. It's such a pity."

The corpse demon did not directly answer Dong Yeyu's question, but just sighed and was about to swallow the fairy fruit in the fruit plate.
Whoosh!
The fruit plate and the fairy fruit suddenly disappeared. The corpse demon frowned and looked around, but found nothing and became furious.

Just then, a familiar voice was heard in the air.

"I'm giving you one as our last gift after all these years together. The rest are left by my old friend for his apprentice, not for you."

Dong Yeyu looked up and saw a familiar old man sitting cross-legged in mid-air, with the fruit plate that the corpse demon had just held in his hand next to him.

He was dressed simply, like an old farmer with little money during the Warring States Period. He wore a tattered kimono that was shorter than the knees, which was yellowed from being washed and looked very old, and faded blue trousers. His feet were bound with leggings. His messy white hair was tied into a crooked bun with a dry branch inserted diagonally. He also had some bamboo tube kettles and other things on his body, and a beautiful stone hung around his waist.

Looking at his appearance again, you can recognize him even without those iconic mustaches. Isn't this the old man that I met with Hiiragi Kagami before?

Didn’t you say you were powerless and wouldn’t come to help?
Are you following me because you're really worried?

Why does he look so familiar with the corpse demon?
And this fairy fruit.
Dong Yeyu thought for half a second, and then he had a guess in his mind, and asked: "Old sir——"

Before he could finish, the old man greeted him with a smile, as if he had noticed him at the same time.

"Hey, little fox, just you?"

The old man stretched his neck and looked around: "Where is the little girl?"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at those people who had not yet run away, and smiled knowingly: "You kid, it's not good to be indecisive--"

"You treat me like nothing?"

At this moment, the corpse demon below slowly pulled out the still sharp Bizen Osafune no Kami from the scabbard.

"This is not the place for you to reminisce and chat."

"Since you refuse to be used by me, then give me your life!"

As he spoke, the foul deathly aura from the corpse demon gushed out like waves, with a terrifying momentum that gave people a feeling of despair and irresistibility.

The faint black fog soon enveloped the entire Fukuchiyama Castle. The originally confused evil spirits in the city now showed their hideous and vicious appearances. Faint screams and howls could be heard from somewhere.

At the same time, the body of the corpse demon in front of him also grew taller, gradually taller than the city wall, until the houses in the city were just at the level of his knees.

These monsters were created due to ignorance due to fate, and the magical powers they know are all natural. Naturally, they cannot know advanced spells like the Law of Heaven and Earth.

But even so, the feeling of oppression is one of the strongest among the monsters and demons that Higashino Yu has encountered, second only to the false god Ueda who controlled floods and exercised divine power in Taoxiang. It makes people tremble subconsciously and breathe rapidly.

Dong Yeyu had a gloomy face, and pure white fairy light swirled around him. All the magic powers were at rest, and the foul and dead air was expelled.

Now with the help of the gods, everything will be -

"I am too old to help you. I will leave the rest to the little fox."

Yu Shi said solemnly, "Don't worry about those mortals. I will protect them. Just go and fight! This is also the last test your master has given you."

As he spoke, the whole person disappeared into the air.

Higashino Yu: ???

Leaving now?

Dong Yeyu was stunned. No, you came here just to say a few words? If you don't want to help, at least give me a fairy fruit. The other side took a fairy fruit at the beginning and the buff was full. Isn't this a bit unfair?

"die!"

After the corpse demon transformed into a giant, his movements were not slow. While the white fox was stunned, he carried Bizen Nagashune Kunimori, who had also transformed into a giant weapon, and launched a powerful Ichimonji Slash.

The more than ten-meter-long sword seemed to be a white line under the sun, tearing through the air like the howling of an evil spirit, and the strong wind it raised made it impossible to open one's eyes.

The breath was so sharp that he felt a tingling sensation on his skin before it hit Dong Ye Yu. Without any further thought, he exerted force on all four legs, leaped down from the city wall and retreated backwards.

At the same time, several orange-red fire dragons appeared out of thin air around the white fox, dragging their winding flaming tails and charging straight towards the corpse demon.

boom!
Five fire dragons crashed into the corpse demon's pitch-black armor at the same time, causing a violent explosion. Black smoke wrapped in orange-red light rose up. The corpse demon seemed to be pushed back a step by the impact, and its footsteps made a dull sound as they stepped on the ground.

"Humph."

A disdainful snort came from the smoke and the corpse demon waved his hand, and suddenly a demonic wind swept the smoke and dissipated it. But before the smoke and cloud completely dissipated, several fire dragons took off in the hazy black smoke. These fire dragons were continuous and were constantly summoned by the white fox. They formed a long river of fire that dispelled the black fog and rushed forward endlessly.

"Fumaran!"

The corpse demon was enraged by the disturbance. He lowered his body slightly, and held the sword in his hand horizontally at the same level as his face. The dozens of meters long sword blade instantly surrounded by gusts of cold wind.

call!
He held the sword with both hands, twisted his wrist and slashed out with a blow similar to the Reverse Kasaya Slash. The cold wind lingering on the blade immediately swept in countless fire dragons, turning them into a small fire tornado.

Dong Yeyu nimbly avoided the fire tornado, but unexpectedly the fire tornado destroyed many buildings outside the north city along the way and went straight towards the fleeing crowd.

The people who received Dong Yeyu's instructions did not stop to watch the battle just because they had fled early, but they continued to run upstream along the river. Some people occasionally looked back, but more people did not even turn back, just listening to the horrific noises of the battle behind them, which made people terrified.

"what sound?"

As they were running, someone suddenly heard a roar similar to that of a typhoon. He turned back subconsciously and saw a tornado made of flames rushing towards them rapidly. Immediately, everyone was scared to death.

"Run! Run!"

Seeing this, the others screamed and ran away. But no matter how fast they ran, they could only escape a few minutes earlier. They couldn't get far at all. They were soon caught up by the fire tornado. Sanae and Ruri, who were running at the back, could already feel the heat of the flames behind them.

At this moment, the Chengming Ichimonji Changguang in Liuli's arms made a metallic humming sound, as if it had sensed the exquisite swordsmanship and was eager to try it out, urging its master to draw his sword and fight.

Liuli: ???
The water spirit bead in Sanae's arms was emitting a light blue glow, and rich water-based spiritual energy was gathering there.

"Dissipate."

An old man's voice sounded behind me, kind and emotional, speaking in a tone as if he was saying goodbye to a good friend.

Sanae subconsciously turned around, and the fire tornado disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared. Not far away stood an old man dressed like an ancient person. He was a little hunched over, with his hands behind his back, staring at the north gate without moving.

What happened to him? Can't run anymore?

Sanae was a little confused, and Ruri also stopped at this time. The two sisters looked at each other and ran towards the old man. They held one side of the old man and wanted to run.

"My old bones are no match for you young people."

The old man smiled at the two girls, but Ruri and Sanae ignored him and stood on either side, gritting their teeth. They tried their best but couldn't support them and were immediately discouraged.

The old man smiled and asked, "Why don't you escape with those people?"

Sanae frowned and glanced at the group of people who had already run more than ten meters away, then said seriously, "Because you fell behind."

"It's very dangerous here. If you fall behind, you will die. Please come with us." Liuli also said.

Then the two of them put their hands on the loudspeaker and called for help.

Several teachers who had been keeping an eye on the students, fearing that someone would fall behind, saw that Asumi Sanae had gone somewhere unknown, and heard the two's voices, so they quickly called for a stop.

So some of the teachers and students of Tachibana High School quickly stopped, and the rest of them also found that the fire tornado chasing them had disappeared at some point, so they slowly stopped and looked behind them.

"Why did those two girls fall behind?"

"Is it because of that old man? He can't run anymore."

"Want to go back and help?"

People were a little hesitant. The scene just now was really horrifying. Who knows if something more bizarre or dangerous will happen next.

"Let's go back. If they can't run anymore, then we can't abandon them."

The old scholar who was just sighing over the changes in the river course said in a deep voice: "The God is fighting the evil spirits for us. Although we can't help much, we can't let the God worry. We must unite together. If we abandon those two girls now, who will we abandon later?"

He walked back with the teachers and students of Tachibana High School on crutches.

"Right! We can't let these monsters look down on us!"

With a leader, people hesitated for a moment and followed. Only a very few people looked at them in disbelief, cursing them as lunatics and running away on their own.

"Livni, what are they talking about? Why go back? What should we do?"

Several blondes and blue-eyed people stood there hesitating. One of them was a red-haired woman wearing glasses, who looked delicate and had the temperament of a librarian. She was silent for a moment and looked at her companions.

"They are going back to help those two girls. They seem to be in trouble. I am going to help them. What about you?"

"Help? No, I won't go. It's dangerous here. I have to leave immediately. As for them? Wish them good luck. Lawen, Alice, Sonya, I'm leaving. What about you?"

A tall, handsome man with blond hair looked at his friends around him.

They looked at each other, but they all wanted to leave. The two girls tried to persuade Livni for a while, but when they couldn't persuade her, they could only apologize: "Sorry Livni, I--"

"It's nothing. Let's go now while there's no danger." Livni waved goodbye and turned to run back.

On the other side, Dong Ye Yu saw the fire tornado disappear from afar and knew that it was the old man who took action, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't your master teach you to concentrate fully when fighting?"

call!
Dong Ye Yu didn't look back, but when he heard the sound of the sword piercing the air, he immediately recognized the sword move.

It's the wrong jade cut!

After determining the move, Dong Ye Yu dodged the sharp blade as if moving horizontally, and his heart became more and more solemn.

My teacher never taught me the wind-sweeping move just now. Did this corpse demon learn it on his own?
Just a casual move created a tornado. If Kaoru Uehara knew about it, she would probably be desperate. She gathered her strength to summon the wind to help her, and named it "Hundred Thousand Winds".
This is really a bit of cheating, how can a corpse demon inherit the talents of the original body?

Dong Ye Yu complained in his heart that his swordsmanship was previously limited by his mortal body and could not be broken through. Now that his body has turned into a corpse demon, his swordsmanship might be even stronger than when he was alive.

When the corpse demon saw the sword piercing into the air, he immediately slashed horizontally, and then the sword light danced so fast that water could not splash in. He slashed several times in a row, forcing Dong Ye Yu into a miserable state. Finally, his scarlet pupils like lanterns widened, and he swung the sword in his hand, slashing out a stream of energy.

This is a killer move, hidden in a normal attack, extremely insidious.

Upon careful perception, there is actually the energy of Geng metal in it, which can destroy metal and jade and make decisive decisions.

Dong Ye Yu was about to dodge, but he saw that the strong energy turned into invisible after it came into contact with the pure white light lingering on his body.

What kind of witchcraft?
The corpse demon was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the sword in his hand, a little confused, but without thinking too much, he looked at the white fox and sneered: "Is it all you can do to dodge?"

“Disciple, where are the sword skills I taught you? Are you regressing the more you learn, and only able to fight like a wild beast?!”

The corpse demon stretched out his hand to absorb the death energy. The thick and huge death energy gathered in his hand into a black ball the size of half a city block, and threw it towards Dong Yeyu like a stone.

"Let's see how you hide!"

Dong Ye Yu has the magic of heaven and earth to protect him, so he is naturally not afraid. However, he still has to find a way to defeat the enemy. The previous ordinary fire has little effect on this corpse demon, so why not try ghost fire?
Thinking of this, several fire dragons appeared around Dongye Yu again, but this time the fire dragons were dark blue.

call!
Several fire dragons roared and rushed towards the huge death energy that was smashing down. Only the hissing sound of corrosion could be heard. The dark blue fire dragons devoured the black clouds at a speed visible to the naked eye, and wherever they passed, there was clarity.

It really works!

Dong Ye Yu was delighted, and his sharp claws and fangs were covered with the spiritual light of slaying demons. Just as he was about to go forward to fight, he saw two sword lights that were almost simultaneously slashing through the black cloud.

"Yan Hui!"
