Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 312 Siege
"Disconnect it!!!"

Yang Liu let out an angry roar.

His feet were firmly planted on the ground, his muscles exploded to their limit, and terrifying power was transmitted through his bound limbs, engaging in the most primitive and direct force confrontation with the dozens of steel behemoths!
The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.

The steel cables were being pulled so hard they emitted a piercing, almost unbearable groan, and several thinner auxiliary cables were even snapped off by him!

The air was filled with the pungent smell of diesel fuel and the burnt smell of metal rubbing together!
The drivers operating the construction machinery all looked tense, pressing their accelerators hard to maximize the machines' power.

They could clearly feel the terrifying force emanating from the other end of the steel cable, a force that seemed to pull them and the car together.

This isn't a struggle with a human; it's a tug-of-war with an enraged ancient behemoth!

Chida Ezuko stood at a safe distance, watching this battle scene that seemed like something out of a myth, her eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

"See that?! This is the power of technology combined with the mysterious! This is the crystallization of human wisdom!" she whispered excitedly. "Even if you're a monster! Before absolute industrial power and exquisite magic arrays, you can only obediently bind yourself and become my prisoner!"

This thrilling tug-of-war between the industrial prison and the brute force of the behemoth seems to have reached a stalemate.

Although Yang Liu possessed terrifying strength, she could not break free in a short time under the continuous suppression of the magic array and the combined pull of dozens of heavy machines!
As time went on, his physical strength was being gradually depleted.

And this is exactly what Chida Etsuko wanted to see.

She needed Yang Liu to be completely suppressed and unable to move before she could proceed to the next step—the most crucial one: injecting the soon-to-be-formed "artificial deity" into this perfect "container".

Watching Yang Liu roar and struggle incessantly, bound by steel cables, yet unable to break free, Chida Ezuko's smile grew increasingly smug and cold.

The prey has completely fallen into her cage. Now it's time to enjoy "dissecting" and "modifying" this perfect work of art!

……

……

Just as Yang Liu was trapped in the center of Nenggu Island, Yongfu Temple, far from the battlefield, was also experiencing a sudden siege.

A somber atmosphere permeated the area in front of the newly built temple gate. Dozens of extraordinary individuals, each with a different aura but radiating powerful energy fluctuations, surrounded the entire Yongfu Temple, making it impossible to move.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a sinister face, dressed in an elegant kimono, holding a simple, ancient sword that exuded a chilling aura.

He is Nobuo Mizuno, the chairman of the "Blackwater Society," the largest pro-government faction in Fukuoka.

Behind him stood the elite forces of the Blackwater Society, as well as the leaders of several other small supernatural organizations affiliated with the government.

“Abbot Uga,” Mizuno Nobuo said coldly, looking at Uga Shoji, who stood solemnly at the temple's main entrance, “we are old acquaintances, why escalate this? As long as you stay in the temple today and don't interfere in the affairs of Noko Island, we guarantee you won't do anything to us. Otherwise…”

He didn't finish speaking, but the threat was palpable.

Uga Shoji stood at the entrance of the main hall, with Kurama Yuki, whom he had blocked behind him. Although his injuries had mostly healed with the help of Yang Liu and Yokota Teru, his face was still somewhat pale, and he frowned deeply in the face of such a scene.

How could he not understand the other party's intentions?
The familiar yet malevolent aura of "artificial deity" emanating from Nenggu Island, along with the brief message Yang Liu had suddenly left behind, made him realize the seriousness of the situation.

Yang Liu must be in grave danger right now! How could he stand idly by?!
“Chairman Mizuno,” Shouji Uga’s voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable determination, “what is happening on Noko Island is a heinous and wicked act that harms all living beings! As the head priest of Eifukuji Temple, I cannot stand idly by!”

"Hmph! Stubborn fool!" A murderous glint flashed in Mizuno Nobuo's eyes. "It seems Abbot Uga is determined to face the consequences! Everyone, make your move! Today, we must 'invite' Abbot Uga back to the temple for 'quiet meditation'! If there is any resistance..."

He drew his long sword, its blade gleaming with a bloodthirsty light in the sunlight: "Kill them all!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of extraordinary individuals launched an attack simultaneously!
Various magical lights, talismans, shikigami, and even direct physical attacks surged towards the main hall of Eifukuji Temple like a storm!
"Damn it!" Kurama Yuki shouted, forming hand seals and mobilizing the power of the artificial deities within the temple. A golden Buddhist light barrier instantly enveloped the main hall.

Uga Shouji also made his move at the same time. He chanted incantations, and a faint phantom image of Vajra Dharma appeared behind him. He struck out with his palm, and the powerful Buddhist energy transformed into a golden palm print, meeting the first few spells that attacked.

boom! boom! boom!
A violent energy collision sound exploded over Yongfu Temple!

The golden barrier shook violently, ripples spreading across it. Although Uga Shouji's palm strike shattered several spells, more attacks followed closely behind.

The opposing side had a large number of people and was clearly well-prepared, with excellent teamwork.

Although Uga Shouji and Kurama Yuki were quite strong, they were no match for the many opponents, and both of them were seriously injured and weak. Even with the help of the temple's artificial deity, they quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

The golden barrier grew dimmer and dimmer, and Uga Shouji's face grew paler and paler, with a trickle of blood even seeping from the corner of his mouth.

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Yongfu Temple is breached.

At this critical moment...

"You old dog Mizuno! Do you think you can bully my brothers Zhao because you have no one to rely on?!" A thunderous roar came from outside the temple.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden divine light, full of masculine and domineering aura, descended like a sword from the sky, cleaving through the Blackwater Society's encirclement and sending several enemies who couldn't dodge in time flying.

As the smoke cleared, Yokota Teru stood there majestically, holding a huge long sword!

Behind him stood Yokota Masakazu and Miyaji, both armed and solemn, as well as Elder Yokota, who leaned on a cane but whose eyes were as sharp as an eagle's and whose aura was as deep as the sea.

Surrounding them were dozens of priests dressed in Sumiyoshi Shrine attire, carrying bows and arrows or long swords!
The people from Sumiyoshi Shrine have arrived!
"Elder Yokota! Masakazu Yokota!!" Nobuo Mizuno's expression changed upon seeing the newcomer. "Are you Sumiyoshi Shrine going to get involved in this mess too?! This is defying government orders!"

"Pah!" Elder Yokota spat fiercely. "Government orders? I think they're from you bunch of traitors! You haven't forgotten the tragedy of the second god-making project! And now you're doing this kind of heinous thing again! My Sumiyoshi Shrine will never collude with you! Today, anyone who wants to lay a finger on my nephew Akira will have to ask the sword in my hand first!"

Yokota Teru brought his father and grandfather with him this time; it can be said that the entire elite of Sumiyoshi Shrine came out.

"Fine! Very well!" Mizuno Nobuo laughed in fury. "Since you're courting death, then I'll send you all on your way! Attack! Take care of everyone from Sumiyoshi Shrine too!"

The pro-government forces, including the Blackwater Society, launched another fierce attack. The priests of Sumiyoshi Shrine were not to be outdone and immediately formed a battle formation to fight back.

Arrows pierced the air, swords flashed, and divine arts and magic clashed fiercely.

The battlefield at Yongfu Temple instantly became even more chaotic and brutal.

Although they had strong support from Sumiyoshi Shrine, the other side had the advantage in numbers and seemed to have a backup plan.

Uga Shouji and the Yokota family were still at a disadvantage, the battle was at a stalemate, and the crisis had not been resolved.

However, just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, several powerful auras rapidly approached from different directions!
"Those scumbags from the Blackwater Society! Count them off to the Hidden Mist Style!" A ninja leader with elusive movements joined the battle with several elite subordinates!

"Hmph! These are the government's lackeys, everyone should kill them! Count us in!" A female warrior wielding a flaming whip led her men into the fray.

More and more local supernatural forces in Fukuoka, who had originally remained neutral or opposed to cooperating with the government, rushed to help after learning that the Blackwater Society was besieging Eifukuji Temple and attempting to prevent support for Noko Island!

In front of Eifukuji Temple, a massive battle ensued, threatening the future of the extraordinary forces in Fukuoka.
