Chapter 187 Ghost Princess
Shanzang's right leg was severely injured.

He immediately realized that he had been tricked, and the curse-returning barrier in his left hand suddenly opened, and he jumped back on one leg.

His movements were quite fast, and at the moment of retreating, he threw the bandages out at high speed. Dozens of long bandages rushed out, entangled together, and spiraled into cannonballs flying forward.

Bai Jie shouted loudly in the face of this move.

"--flame!"

Hiss!

There was a crackling sound of burning in the air, and a flame spurted out from the palm of his right hand. The bandage "cannonball" that was shot at him was immediately engulfed by the flames.

This was the Fire Luo technique. Among the five Luo techniques, he was good at the Chang Qi Luo and the Kong Luo, but that didn't mean he couldn't use other techniques.

At this moment, Baijie released a strong flame, and the attack formed by the bandage was burned. It curled up like a living thing and flew back charred.

Baijie launched a close pursuit. He judged that as long as Shanzang expanded the range of the curse-returning barrier, he would not have any good attack methods except close combat.

"Use spells to attack from a distance. He can continuously activate the barrier defense. Unless I choose to flee without a fight, this is a meaningless attack method."

Right now, the opponent's right leg was injured.

As long as you grasp this point, you will be able to gain a chance of winning.

call out!
Bai Jie tried to pursue the victory. He rushed forward at the speed of an arrow and shortened the distance by more than ten meters in an instant.

At this time, he did not generate a pitch-black spear, but instead poured strength into his fist and swung a deadly iron fist at Zenzang, who was supporting his body with only one leg.

boom!
It was like a loud explosion generated by compressed air, vibrating the atmosphere. If someone stayed here, they would lose their hearing at that moment and become deaf on the spot.

Shanzang bent his legs, crossed his hands in a cross shape, and endured the impact of the blow, with his left knee kneeling on the snow.

Regardless of the style of boxing, the foundation of physical training lies in one's center of gravity. After losing a leg, the monk's center of gravity immediately shifted, completely different from his usual stance. He could only use the broken part of his right thigh to support part of his weight.

"Sure enough, I have a skill."

Shanzang was surprised by Baijie's fierce attack, while he sealed the blood vessels and stopped the bleeding of the broken leg.

The severe injuries of a broken leg and blood loss, all these unfavorable circumstances, actually fueled his fighting spirit. The monk, who had originally appeared peaceful, gradually raised the corners of his mouth beneath the mask, revealing an expression like that of a hungry wolf.

"what?"

Baijie suddenly felt something, and the next second, the body wearing crimson armor spewed out powerful demonic energy and red light everywhere, and a storm blew up.

This extremely powerful force directly impacted his body and sent him flying.

He was knocked back by the force, somersaulted backwards, and stood up again. But just as his feet touched the ground, Zenzo's fist struck again.

“…I’m going to make a move.”

Even his hoarse voice was completely different from before. Zenzo used his kneeling leg to complete the push-off movement.

The roar of the air ripped through his body, the highly compressed vibrations hitting his eardrums. Baijie subconsciously took a defensive stance, barely blocking the opponent's attack.

In an instant, a shocking punch hit him. His entire body was enveloped in a torrent of power, and at this moment, Bai Jie didn't even have the chance to think.

His mind was blank.

To outsiders, one could see that Shanzang had hit the target with one punch.

When Bai Jie was hit by the punch, his body was thrown high into the sky, fell heavily to the ground, and then bounced lightly, which completely offset the force of the fall.

"……what……"

He hadn't realized yet that he had been hit.

This punch was much heavier than expected.

——I can’t even lift my head.

——My vision cannot focus.

——Consciousness cannot think either.

Bai Jie's mouth was wet, and the tip of his tongue was trembling. He vaguely felt something flowing out of his nostrils.

However, even though his eyes could not see and his nose had almost lost its sense of smell, he knew that what was flowing out of his nostrils was his own blood.

"...Damn it."

Bai Jie's hands seemed to be shattered and became limp. He looked down and saw that his armor was shattered, his wrists were twisted, his fingers were shattered, and his knuckles were twisted in the opposite direction.

However, he could vaguely recall that Shan Zang's attack should have been blocked by him, but even though his hands blocked the opponent's fist, it was still smashed to pieces, and the remaining fist force even knocked him away.

"It can regenerate, but it will take some time..."

However, the enemy cannot afford to give himself the time to regenerate his hands.

"Tit for tat... Breaking off a leg in exchange for temporarily making your hands useless isn't such a bad deal."

Zenzo's attack came again. He jumped forward on one leg, twisted his body, and punched Baijie.

"Even if I lose a leg, close combat is still my domain."

His arms suddenly stretched out.

The fist came like a spiral, and the strong wind blew up the snow dust on the ground. Bai Jie could only jump to the right to avoid the coming of this fierce punch.

Even so, the wind pressure created by his fist made him lose control and fall to the ground. Shanzang jumped into the air and hit him with a strong fist from top to bottom.

Baijie rolled to dodge, and as he moved, the ground behind him was hit by a strong fist. The sound of wind pressure, crisp explosions, and the heavy muffled sound of the earth echoed on the snow-capped peaks, composing a harsh trio.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

The bandages attacked again, trying to penetrate his body.

Baijie quickly got up and concentrated his spiritual power on his hands. The regeneration was complete. He suddenly grabbed the air with his palms and grabbed the bandage. At the same time, he retracted his wrists and pulled them towards himself.

This time, it was Zenzo who was forcibly pulled over by him, but this ferocious boxer hit Baijie with his head without any hesitation.

Baijie attacked without hesitation, and their foreheads collided violently, with a dull sound and blood spurting out.

The two men were forced apart by the force of the collision, their covering helmets and masks cracked, and the skin on their foreheads was broken.

hiss!

In an instant, more than a dozen bandages attacked again like blades. Bai Jie retreated quickly. He kicked the ground with his feet, and snow, dust and gravel exploded in the sky.

This is the "Dust Whisk" of the Barking God's Cross-Face Flow. He now uses his feet to perform it, which also proves that his use of spiritual power has reached a new level.

"Damn it... Even so, there's no way I can defeat this guy! Is the gap between me and a super-class exorcist still that big?"

His heart was filled with impatience.

……

On the other hand, the sister duo who were looking for the spiritual flower named "Igozki" also encountered obstacles.

"Is this... a cave?"

Ayaka followed Ye Ming and they came to the other side of the snow mountain, in front of a cave on the mountainside. The cave seemed to be cracked, with almost steep cliffs on both sides.

"Could it be that kind of spiritual flower grows in the cave?"

She frowned.

Caves are enclosed spaces, mostly pitch black inside. Although the Ainu people call it "Igoziki" and call it a spiritual flower, it is a very special plant, but can it really grow in such an environment?
"My feeling shouldn't be wrong."

When Ye Ming said this, his expression was a little hesitant.

She thought about it, and could only straighten her chest and said pretentiously: "Ayaka, please trust me a little more."

Ayaka ignored her, she was concentrating on observing the cave.

The girl felt that this wasn't a natural cave. Because it was wide and high enough, it must have been dug by the people who once lived here. "An unnatural cave?"

Ye Ming put his index finger to his lips.

"...Could it be that this is the cave entrance built by the Krupokru clan, the creators of the maze?"

"That's not clear."

Ayaka thought about it and shook her head again.

"If that were the case, Mother-in-law Leah would have warned us, right? However, she didn't say anything, so I guess not."

"That's fine."

Ye Ming took a step forward.

"We'll find out if we investigate inside first."

"Don't worry."

Ayaka quickly grabbed her.

"Matsudaira mentioned before that if we want to enter a place like a cave where there's a limited escape route, we must first ensure we always have a way to escape before we can officially take action."

"Ah...oh, yes."

Ye Ming completely put this out of her mind. She was sometimes careless and would not pay attention to details. She would easily overlook such things if she was not careful.

"First, we must ensure that no one can break into the cave and expose us to attack from both sides."

Ayaka sighed in her heart, took out the barrier spell and several other spells, reinforced the cave entrance, and carefully arranged the barrier.

"That way, we won't have to worry about monsters blocking the cave entrance from behind."

After confirming that the arrangements were complete, she picked up the lit torch.

"Okay, it's almost time to go."

As Ayaka spoke, Yaming also drew her sword. She tied the unconscious Lilea behind her back and cast an illumination spell on the blade.

The two of them passed through the cave entrance, prepared two light sources for the unknown, and slowly moved forward.

At the same time, not long after Ye Ming and Ayaka left, a dark mist floated over.

The next second, the talismans at the entrance of the cave and the arrangements made by Ayaka were corroded and slowly turned into ashes.

……

After entering the cave, the passage seemed to lead downward. They descended gently, turning left at the corner. They continued their descent, turning right. They continued down the passage, turning right. It seemed as if they were connected to the mountain's belly through a spiral passage.

"As soon as we entered the cave, the air suddenly became cold."

Ayaka murmured.

"It's normal for a place where the sun doesn't shine. However, it's winter now, and the temperature inside the cave should be higher than outside... Maybe this cave leads to another exit."

When I saw the entrance, I thought it was a cave of sufficient size, but when I went inside, I found that it was not the case.

Not to mention the height of this cave, the width inside is also inconsistent. As you go deeper, you will find that the walls on the left and right suddenly protrude and become narrow.

The two of them took cautious steps forward on the mossy ground.

Suddenly, at the end of the winding path that was like a goat intestine, a light source could be clearly seen. Judging from its shape and size, it seemed to be an exit.

In addition to the light source, this exit-like position suddenly became distorted, as if the shadow of something overlapped with the shadows around it.

"...Is there a monster?"

Ayaka was very nervous and asked her sister in a low voice using telepathy.

"No, it's not."

Ye Ming released her spiritual power wavelength to explore, which was a typical enemy-seeking spell. She seemed to have discovered what it was and sighed slightly.

"There are no enemies inside, let's go in together."

"There are no enemies."

When Ayaka was wondering, Ye Ming pulled her forward. Behind the cave entrance was a large cave in the mountain.

This was a very large space, seemingly a deep cave inside the mountain, with bright light leaking down from a higher position.

"There should be a big hole up there. This cave in the mountain is not closed. There is a big vertical hole in the middle of the mountain."

Ayaka then realized that the source of light in this big hole was the light from the outside world, and there was some snow piled up in the deep hole.

In the center of the spacious cave, a rough throne hewn directly from a huge stone appeared.

At first, because of the distance between them, the two could not see clearly. After getting closer, they found that it was a huge object.

It seemed to be sitting on a stone seat, its eyes were gray and white, connected into one, it had a huge spine and ribs, horns growing out of its skull, and its empty eye sockets looked down at Ayaka and Yami.

The huge ghost skeleton, covered with thick snow, was looking down at the two people, just like a giant from ancient times looking down at the tiny humans on the ground.

The two of them had to look up hard to see the ghost's full appearance. Finally, they could confirm that it was a huge ghost sitting on a huge stone chair.

——Ghosts. In the island nation, there have been various rumors about demons since ancient times.

Ayaka and Yamei have both heard various stories about strong humans who defeat demons.

"After defeating the former lord of Mount Daijiang, 'Zhudian Tongzi,' I've never heard of a ghost this big. What's the origin of this guy?"

Ye Ming also opened her eyes wide in astonishment, and her sister was also shocked by the huge ghost's posture.

One of the most dramatic stories of the Heian-kyō period is the story of exorcists conquering the evil demon, Zhudian-doji.

It is said that the size of a ghost is proportional to its strength. The larger the ghost, the more powerful the demonic aura it possesses.

In the past, the great demon that committed evil on Mount Suzuka was named Otakemaru. It was said that it possessed extremely powerful demonic powers that could cover the mountain with dark clouds. It also had the magic and power to control storms, lightning, and rain of fire. Not only did it cause harm to the locals, it also had a terrifying body shape.

"Look, there are strange flowers growing near the stone bench."

Ayaka noticed that under the ghost's skeleton, that is, under the stone chair armrest, a shelter that could protect against wind and rain was formed. There grew glowing plants and beautiful flowers.

"Just like what Grandma said, it emits a bright white light. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the spiritual flower Igozki."

"Great! This way, Lilaila can be saved."

While the two were discussing, several balls of light danced from near the stone bench and floated over, like the scales of a moth, scattering balls of fiery blue will-o'-the-wisp. At this moment, these will-o'-the-wisp slowly formed a blue shadow.

"Kukuku... who is it that disturbs my deep sleep?"

At that moment, what reached their ears was the voice of an innocent little girl, and then a figure in a blue kimono slowly walked towards them.

"...Oh, I didn't expect them to be two cute little guys."

The one wrapped in blue flames was a young girl. Her hair was very short, like a girl's short hair. Her facial features were very beautiful, but her eyes were as red as blood. She had two black horns on her head and her skin was as white as pottery.

She was draped in a gorgeous garment resembling ancient clothing, and her feet were bare. Anyone could tell at a glance that her figure was far from human, yet it resembled a human form, and therefore possessed a flawless beauty.

"It's been about a hundred and fifty years now. It's been a while since humans have come here. Little ones, what brings you here?"

The girl is a ghost princess.

Her identity was undoubtedly related to the ghost's skeleton. She floated in the air like a ghost, with a strange light shining in her eyes and a faint smile on her face.

However, that's all.

Both Ye Ming and Ayaka felt a chill that penetrated their bones, and their whole bodies felt almost trembling.

"You, what did you just say... One hundred and fifty years ago, are you the pillow demon, one of the five demon kings who wreaked havoc on the world one hundred and fifty years ago, the infamous evil ghost?"
