Chapter 47 Defeating the Insect Demon
For exorcists, whether it is martial arts or magic, it takes a long time of intensive research, concentration and investment to be able to integrate the skills of predecessors and reach the pinnacle.

Theoretically speaking, in this world, it is absolutely impossible to learn someone else's tactics on the spot after only seeing them once or twice.

However, this is an inexplicable "phenomenon" in Baijie's current body. He has never really come into contact with the Spear Saint, nor has he received any guidance from the other party, not to mention that this was only the first time he fought against him in a dream.

To be able to learn the opponent's moves just by a quick glance during a fight is pure fantasy to anyone.

Baijie didn't realize how bizarre all this was. All he thought about was how to defeat this evil monster.

"If the upper-level fierce monster really had its full strength... all of us together would have no chance of winning."

However, if the fierce monster encountered was one that had just been unsealed 150 years ago, and was extremely weak and seriously injured, unable to use even the magic spells that it was good at in the past, and had a fatal flaw, then it was not impossible -

"There are two fatal flaws on the body of the insect demon Zijiao."

First, there is a damaged carapace on the back of its neck. Attacking this vital spot is enough to kill the insect monster.
The second is the visual ability of the cyclops monster. It was "killed" by a powerful person in the past. That was a blow that could kill the five senses, destroying its sense of "seeing" objects - although it has eyes that glow like ruby, it can't see at all.

Monsters can use their demonic power to detect the surrounding spiritual power, observing the surroundings like a radar. For this ferocious monster, even if it has no vision, the impact is not too great.

The problem is that because the power of that killing blow was too strong, the range of its detection of surrounding spiritual power cannot exceed a radius of ten meters, and its sensitivity has also declined significantly.

It can hardly detect any movement outside its own range, and its perception will decrease if the environment is complex.

Baijie tried his best and poured all his spiritual power into this shot. The "explosion" he created on the ground could not be compared with the power of the gun master's moves in his dream.

The "Dust Brush" gun skill itself is just to blow the dust on the ground into smoke that blocks the vision, and use the gravel falling from the sky to hinder the enemy's actions.

The Gun Master can use this move to launch a sandstorm-like attack, stirring up large amounts of rubble and gravel that will explode like bullet shrapnel, causing greater damage.

However, this move of his also formed a dense "gravel rain".

To the beetle monster, Zijiao, this was like a rainstorm, seriously disrupting its perception.

"Success."

Baijie threw away the gun in his hand, and after Cheng Gong fired the "Dust Whisk" shot, he drew his ninja sword and rushed forward.

He didn't have much spiritual power left. Just creating the explosion consumed one-third of his spiritual power. The remaining spiritual power was also injected into the muscles of his thighs, strengthening his leg strength with all his strength.

boom!
Bai Jie pushed off the ground and rushed forward. It seemed as if compressed air was ejected from his feet, and he rushed forward like flying. In just a moment, he rushed into the falling sand and dust.

The insect demon Zhijiao's consciousness was completely slow, or in other words, when faced with the sudden "heavy rain" that disrupted its detection, it did not have time to react in time until Baijie rushed into the blind spot of its perception.

Then it ran towards the front of the insect demon in a straight line. When it was close enough to be almost within reach, the insect demon realized the enemy's intention.

"Taking advantage of this opportunity to disrupt my perception and create chaos to launch a surprise attack is not the way of a warrior; it is a despicable tactic!"

The insect demon was enraged.

However, it also knew that the enemy had calculated the timing perfectly.

The spear broke.

The hand holding the knife was cut off.

The only weapons he had left were an axe for close combat and a shield for defense.

Although the treasure shield can absorb the spell and rebound it, all the flames it just absorbed are ejected.

"Did you calculate my state and launch a surprise attack?"

However, it still made the most appropriate and conservative tactics on the battlefield, using its shield to block its front and prevent falling debris. At the same time, it also put all its strength into the axe handle, ready to launch an attack at any time.

This is the insect demon's strategy. He uses the large shield in his left hand to deflect and break up the opponent's attack, and then takes advantage of the opportunity to attack with the axe in his right hand.

As long as the enemy attacks, no matter from which angle in front, you can counterattack in time.

However, at this moment, Baijie made another move and threw the stone forward.

With a "bang", the shield made a dull sound.

"what?"

Out of caution, the insect demon raised its shield horizontally and vertically for defense. At that moment, Baijie jumped into the air.

"court death."

It swung the axe, and this attack even predicted the opponent's trajectory in the air. The axe blade could cut Baijie's body in the air.

However, the axe's attack missed and hit a ball of air.

wrong!

The enemy is gone—

In an instant, it realized its mistake, but it was too late.

"Thanks."

Baijie vanished from the air, appearing on the shield as if teleporting. He activated the "Shrinking the Earth Amulet," ignoring time and space, and leaped onto the large shield. He then took this opportunity to step on the shield and leap into the air, performing a second "Shrinking the Earth" technique.

This time, he instantly moved to the back of the insect demon's neck, aimed at the shell that was obviously cracked, and stabbed it with the tip of the knife with force.

The insect demon let out a terrible cry. This was a fatal blow.

"Unbelievable... Baijie this brat...!"

Old man Matsudaira stood there with his naginata in hand, muttering to himself in amazement.

The acting head of the branch family, Yanwu Ba, also opened his mouth slightly.

At the same time, Ye Ming, who was avoiding the flames and retreating to the edge of the courtyard, stared at Bai Jie's figure intently.

"Success."

Baijie was not careless at all. He didn't even care about the ninja sword. He used all his strength to shrink the earth for the third time. With the power of instant movement, he jumped behind the insect demon.

The giant beetle monster whose vitals were pierced by the ninja sword roared angrily and swung its axe to attack from behind. Baijie quickly dodged. His spiritual power was not enough to perform "Shrinking the Earth" and his physical strength was also exhausted. He could only dodge in a panic.

He dodged very barely and was almost hit by the insect demon's dying struggle.

"You rat! You're looking for death! Aa ...

The insect demon roared, its voice revealing its desperate state.

call out!
The axe blade came through the air.

Baijie had no time to dodge.

With a "clang" sound, the axe collided with the raised double swords, causing a metallic sound and sparks. Ye Ming raised his two swords and used his spiritual power to block the axe.

The insect demon possessed a natural strength, but the girl's spiritually enhanced arm strength was surprisingly comparable to its own. "Everyone, attack together!!!"

She shouted, and Old Man Matsudaira and Kariya Tomoe immediately responded to her call and launched an attack together.

Old man Matsudaira roared, and his naginata slashed through the air. Kariya Tomoe threw out several talismans, which turned into ice blades and golden arrows. Moltres Bifang also launched an attack, bypassing the shield and actively crashing into the insect demon's face.

It was a self-sacrificing blow. The Moltres transformed into a flash of light. It exploded. The intense heat vaporized the insect demon's horns, cracked its head, and charred the carapace on its right shoulder, shattering and vaporizing.

The scattered flames splashed out, and where the sparks fell on the ground, the earth was exposed to boiling and bubbling soil due to the high heat.

Ye Ming swung the Shuijin sword in his hand, and the insect demon's right leg was cut off. It fell backwards in pain, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the cut surface. The broken right leg rolled on the sand.

"I can't fall down yet, ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

It used its shield to support its body, but its left knee was forced to kneel down because of weakness, and it smashed the severed calf to the ground, only then did it stabilize its body.

"It's now!"

Yue Jialuo Yeming gave orders in a steady voice.

"Keep attacking until you kill it, until it can't move."

The naginata slashed down in a large kasaya style, cutting off the arm holding the shield; ice blades and golden arrows shot down densely, and the insect demon screamed again, but still fought back. In the end, its axe was shattered by the girl's spiritual power-infused slash.

The exorcists worked in perfect harmony and together they displayed their fighting power. Even the high-ranking fierce demons that used to be able to sweep away the human army on the battlefield were defeated.

Finally, it collapsed to the ground with a loud bang.

Blood was flowing from its whole body, and the ground was covered with blood. The insect demon's life came to an end.

"What a shame... Although this guy is a youkai, he's an interesting character in the story. His wish is simply to die like a warrior on the battlefield. In the original side storyline, he was defeated by the protagonist with honor, so before his death, he finally got his wish..."

Baijie sighed in his heart.

However, if the insect demon Zhijiao is defeated without targeting the opponent's weaknesses, this battle will definitely result in heavy casualties.

Perhaps the protagonist Ye Ming can survive by relying on explosive growth.

There is a high probability that he, Ayaka, Mr. Matsudaira and Tomoe will die, the monks of Gango-ji Temple will also die, and his own men will also die.

"So, you must die here."

Baijie looked at the insect demon's horrific remains and shook his head.

"Is it...successful?"

After defeating the insect demon, Ye Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Baijie, are you okay?"

She asked Baijie in a concerned tone.

"It's okay, but I've used up all my spiritual energy and I can't hold on any longer physically."

Baijie's thin lips made an extremely tired sound.

"I probably can't move now..."

Unleashing the spear skills of the Spear Saint and activating the effects of the Shukuchi Amulet brought him a burden he had never imagined before.

He was in such a desperate state that he hadn't noticed his physical condition. Now that he came to his senses, he realized that his strength was almost exhausted, his muscles were sore, and his whole body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.

"It's okay, I'll help you."

Ye Ming smiled sweetly and supported his shaking body.

Bai Jie was stunned for a moment. That was simply a woman's smile. How could there be any trace of the male protagonist in it?

"Brother."

Ayaka ran over from behind in a panic. She had been arranged by old man Matsudaira to take refuge in the back. Now she found Ye Ming and Bai Jie sticking together, so she rushed over quickly.

Just then——

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…!”

The remains of the insect demon that should have died, the insect demon that should have fallen in a sea of ​​its own blood, forced itself to stand up and rushed towards Ayaka.

not good!

This was a scene beyond the expectations of everyone present.

However, the next moment, a silver moon appeared in the sky.

The insect demon's final attack stopped midway.

Then, its body tore into pieces, and blood and internal organs spilled out from the broken parts.

"...Are you so embarrassed just by dealing with this enemy?"

A clear voice sounded slowly.

The moon's light ended, and at some point, a man in black, dressed like a monk's robes, appeared there.

He held a long knife in his right hand and swung it casually, splashing the blood and fat on the blade onto the ground, forming a blood-red arc-shaped mark.

"Ye Ming, I thought you would become more mature after staying at the Heijishan family for a while... but in the end, you are still like this."

“Brother?!”

Ayaka knelt on the ground in shock. When she raised her head, she murmured to herself, "Is it you?"

"I- ...

Ye Ming also froze in place, her lips became even stiffer, and she looked at the man in front of her with a dull look.

"You really disappoint me, Yue Jialuo Yeming."

Kukutsu Ichiki shook his head, uttering a harsh word as he put the knife back into the sheath.

This……

Baijie was also extremely surprised.

"Kyujiutsu Ikki...why is my brother-in-law here too?"
