Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 311 Cage
“Reversal…” Yang Liu caught a crucial piece of information in the other person’s words.

Feeling the abnormally strong suppressive force emanating from him, he realized: "You actually set up a branch of a national-level magic array on the island?!"

"As expected of the person I chose, their reaction is really quick." Chida Ezuko covered her mouth and chuckled. "We have to thank Professor Nakano Yuugo for this, otherwise it would have been much more troublesome to extend the national magic circle here."

Yang Liu sensed the increasingly pronounced soul power in the void, her expression turning icy: "The God-Making Project... I have no interest in your crazy ideas, so why are you targeting me!"

"Yes, the last god-making plan was actually close to completion, but it failed due to an unexpected incident. So all I need to do is continue along the previous plan... But!"

Chida Ezuko changed the subject, her gaze fixed intently on Yang Liu: "A 'god' created in this way is unstable, like a nuclear bomb without a shell, which could explode out of control at any moment! It needs a 'stabilizer' that is strong and robust enough!"

Her finger finally pointed to the willow!

"And you, Yang Liu Jun! Your abnormally powerful body is the most perfect stabilizer in the world! The most ideal... vessel for God!"

"I will 'infuse' this nascent artificial god into your body! Using your flesh as a 'cage' and your life force as 'fuel'! Ultimately, you will 'merge' with the god! Becoming the most powerful weapon in my hands! A... unique work of art!"

Her words were filled with insane ambition and disregard for life. She spoke of her plan to use the willow tree as a "living sacrifice" and a "container" without reservation, in an almost boastful tone.

Yang Liu listened quietly until she finished speaking.

The face covered by the mask showed no expression, but the eyes that gleamed red through the gaps in the goggles were as cold as ice.

It turned out to be the case.

This is the ultimate truth.

He was always treated as prey, lured and schemed against step by step, with the ultimate goal of becoming the material this crazy woman used to create monsters!
An indescribable anger, like a dormant volcano, slowly simmered deep within his chest.

Yang Liu didn't waste any more words.

He slowly raised his right arm, which was covered in heavy armor, his five fingers spread, and aimed it at Chida Etsuko.

"It seems,"

His cold, hoarse voice echoed in the silent open space, like the tolling of a death knell.

"...I have no choice but to kill you."

The next second, Yang Liu moved!

Like a steel beast, Yang Liu forcefully ignored the suppression of the magic array with her powerful strength and charged towards Chida Ejinko!

Yang Liu's fierce charge, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattered the standoff in the open space.

"Stop him!" Chida Ezuko's expression changed slightly.

Even though they had read various analyses of Yang Liu's strength beforehand, when they actually faced him and felt his terrifying power, they couldn't help but feel a little fear.

She gave a stern order and quickly retreated, with several agile warriors immediately standing in front of her.

The surrounding samurai and surviving ninjas, who had been waiting in battle, let out a shout at the same time and surged towards Yang Liu like a tide. Swords clashed, their cold glints flashing!

But Yang Liu's target was never these ragtag soldiers.

"Go away!"

He let out a low growl, and his running speed, instead of slowing down due to the suppression of the magic array, became even more ferocious due to his anger.

He didn't even bother to swing his javelin; instead, he used his heavily armored body to crash into the crowd like a runaway truck.

boom! boom! boom!
The sounds of bones cracking, screams, and metal clashing filled the air instantly!
Ordinary samurai swords could not even leave a white mark on his "thousand-layer cake" armor, and anyone who tried to block his way, no matter what technique they used, was directly knocked away by his terrifying impact!
In just one exchange, he smashed into more than a dozen samurai and ninjas, breaking their bones and leaving them lying on the ground, unable to get up.

However, just as Yang Liu was about to break through the first line of defense and rush towards Chida Etsuko and the Onmyoji, an unexpected event occurred.

"Make your move!" shouted a leading Onmyoji standing near the altar.

The other Onmyoji, who were already prepared, immediately formed hand seals and chanted incantations.

hum-

The complex runes carved on the ground shone brightly for a moment, and the power of the national-level magic array was mobilized. An even stronger suppressive force than before pressed down on Yang Liu like an invisible giant hand, causing his forward speed to suddenly stop!
At the same time, a piercing metallic scraping sound rang out in the air.

Dozens of specially made steel cables, thicker than an adult's arm and gleaming with a cold metallic luster, shot out from the ground and bushes from all directions like living giant pythons.

These steel cables are not ordinary industrial steel cables, but specially made high-strength alloy cables for bridges that can withstand tensile forces of hundreds of tons.

Faint runes shimmered on it, clearly indicating that it had been enhanced by magic, further increasing its toughness and strength.

These giant, python-like steel cables wrapped around Yang Liu's limbs, waist, and even neck in an extremely cunning and swift manner, and then... tightened abruptly!
"Uh!"

Even with Yang Liu's terrifying physical abilities, she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan under the combined effect of the magic array and the steel cable, her body forcibly bound to the spot.

He immediately began to struggle, his muscles bulging and his strength exploding.

Several steel cables wrapped around his arm were immediately stretched taut, making a teeth-grinding "crunch" sound, as if they were about to snap at any moment.

"Now! Activate!" the leading Onmyoji shouted again.

At his command, a deafening roar of engines suddenly echoed through the dense forest surrounding the clearing!
Dozens of massive and menacing heavy construction machines—excavators and bulldozers—hidden in the woods started up simultaneously, their huge tracks grinding against the ground with a "crunching" sound.

And the steel cables wrapped around the willows were connected at the other end to the winches or bodies of these steel behemoths!

Dozens of excavators and bulldozers worked simultaneously, their powerful diesel engines unleashing terrifying torque. The taut steel cables, like steel tentacles, pulled the willow tree from all directions!

This was an unprecedented, absurd yet deadly tug-of-war competition.
