Chapter 87 Armor
"Young man, do you really know what you are talking about?"
Renjo Senjuro put his hands in his sleeves and shook his head.
"We don't even know where Hiruko Hiiragi is hiding, so how can we possibly talk about saving her?"
His guards activated a silent barrier, otherwise these conversations would turn into "loud conspiracies" in public.
"She is in the Guardian Forest. I have a way to find her."
Baijie didn't forget to add, "This is what Miss Kuzuka told me. She had sensed an evil spirit in the Guardian Forest before. It must have been left behind by the vampire who possessed Miss Hiiragi Hiruko."
"Your Kurohime clan's intelligence network is truly terrifying."
Lian Zhang had no doubt about his words.
He just lamented that the Kurohime family was well-informed.
"However, all the great shamans of all generations have been affected by this evil power, not to mention Hiruko Hiiragi, who has now begun to transform into a vampire. Exorcising her of the 'blood curse' is not as easy as you say."
"But here's someone who can do it."
Baijie turned his head and looked at the glowing blue butterfly.
"Lord Yamei, you should have awakened the skill of 'Soul Slashing', right? If that's you, you will definitely be able to help Miss Hiiragi Hiruko."
"Eh...what, are you talking about me?"
Ye Ming's voice became flustered.
She probably didn't expect the topic to turn to herself.
"Soul slash?"
Renjo Senjuro's eyes widened. He tried to hide his inner turmoil and took a deep breath. "I've heard that it was a divine skill mastered by the first generation of the Yuejialuo clan. You said that the young master of this generation of the Yuejialuo family also has this skill."
"It should be true."
Suddenly, a man's voice interrupted. Renjo and Baijie looked in the direction of the voice and noticed the paper shikigami floating in the air.
"It's you, Kukutsu Ikki."
Lian Zhang was a little surprised.
"Where were you before?"
"Myself and the Night Walkers have been helping those in the city who haven't yet taken refuge in the surrounding temples and shrines."
That was indeed the voice of Kukutsu Ichiki.
"My men saw with their own eyes that she activated the 'Soul-Slicing Power' and chopped off the vampire's arm in the process."
"Is this true?"
"Yes, theoretically, it's not impossible to use the power of soul slashing to sever the blood curse on Hiiragi Hiruko, but it's very difficult to do so."
"There are many difficulties, which means the difficulty is still very high, right?"
"If we had the support of Kurohimeyama Kuzuka and the Kurohimeyama family, it would be a different story."
Kukutsu Ikki asked Hyakusuke.
"So, how much help can your Heijishan clan provide now?"
"I'm sorry, but Kurohime-san can't offer much help."
Baijie shook his head.
"Miss Kuzuka is trapped by someone at the city lord's place, and the exorcists of the Kurohimeyama clan are having trouble coming to support her due to various reasons."
He explained the situation on Mount Kurohime.
"It was an accident that Miss Yaohuo and I were able to make it here. Given the current situation, we have no choice but to play as many cards as possible."
"is it?"
Kukutsu Ikki nodded and sighed, "Don't count too much on the imperial court... I don't think they'll be able to send troops anytime soon. Although there are still powerful lords and local lords of the traditional 'Bakuhachi' within Dewa, the situation outside has changed. With the number of monsters increasing, we can only protect ourselves."
"If we're the only ones left, we'll be powerless to escape this situation."
Renjo Senjuro shook his head, and his attitude became obviously pessimistic.
"Please wait a moment."
Suddenly, the voice of Yue Jialuo Yeming came from the blue butterfly Shikigami.
"If everyone gives up at this moment, not only Miss Hiiragi, but also the people of Kasumi City will not be able to survive, right?"
Ye Ming expressed his own views.
"We can't just leave like this. The Tzu Chi home here is a shelter for orphans. Besides here, there are still people seeking refuge in the city, right? We are so-called exorcists. Everyone clearly trusts us and calls us that. Yet, running away at the critical moment is definitely not the best option."
She emphasized her tone.
"Everyone, think about it again, maybe we can come up with a better solution."
"Young Master of the Yuejialuo Family, you say this lightly, but it's not that easy in reality, right?"
Hasjo Senjuro, the "royal merchant", shook his head. He was a realist and not someone who could be easily persuaded.
"This is an act that will cost everyone their lives. At least for us at the Lianzhang Chamber of Commerce, it's difficult to invest our precious manpower in such a matter."
When he said this, he also glanced at Jiujiutsu Ikki.
"Jiujiutsu, you wouldn't agree to such a childish idea, would you?"
"No, I think it's worth a try."
Kukutsu Ikki said, "Also, I'm sending people to search for Hiiragi Hiruko's whereabouts. In fact, even if all of you leave, I will find a chance to kill her alone to resolve the change in the sacred cherry tree... Of course, if Ye Ming's 'Soul Slash' can remove the curse on her, I won't refuse this plan either."
"you?"
Renjo Senjuro blinked.
"Jiujiutsu, do you really have such a plan?"
Jiujiutu Ichigui remained silent.
Everyone remained silent.
"There's a chance of winning."
Bai Jie took this opportunity to speak again, "Master Lian Zhang, I'd like to ask if the Lian Zhang Chamber of Commerce has preserved an item. It's a relic of the Archer Saint from 150 years ago, and it's said to be an important item related to the 'Great Seal of the Hundred Demons'."
"No, why do you even know such a thing?"
One can imagine Lian Zhang's shock.
Honestly, this has reached the point where I'm almost forced to kill someone to silence them.
"Alright~ Never mind. I do have that relic. After all, it was entrusted to our clan for safekeeping!"
At the same time as Lian Zhang was speaking, a loud explosion was heard from the direction of the main gate, and the several layers of barriers that the practitioners had set up inside and outside the guild hall were shattered in an instant.
Whoosh! Demonic energy also gushed in from the outside world, and the waves of demonic power like a violent wind resounded passionately, and everyone present was stunned.
"hehe."
A tall man walked in from the destroyed main entrance. He was extremely burly and covered in strong muscles.
"Although I expected to run into someone I know, I didn't expect you to be here too, kid."
The tall man exuded a strong demonic aura. He tilted his thick, rock-like neck and stared at Baijie.
"This opportunity is rare. This time I must kill you and Renjo Senjuro."
"Nine ghosts?"
Baijie never thought that he would see this person again.
"Hasn't this bird demon been killed by us?!"
Renjo Senjuro also opened his mouth wide.
The guards behind him also became nervous and reached for the swords at their waists. The magicians employed by the Chamber of Commerce also held the talismans tightly in their long sleeves.
The relaxed atmosphere in the hall until just now has disappeared without a trace.
Roar!
The strong man "Kyuki" roared.
A strong wind suddenly blew up, mixed with a fanatical and angry evil wind, and rushed towards everyone.
This is a demonic aura that is almost comparable to that of a ferocious demon.
Like a violent storm, the oppressive feeling that pierced the heart and lungs made everyone present stand still.
As if frightened by the roar just now, the body became unable to move.
However, there is one exception.
Baijie took action at this moment.
He rushed forward like an arrow. At that moment, his whole body was wrapped in spiritual power. He turned into a meteor and attacked in an instant, piercing through the air.
"Crumbling Star."
Baijie controlled the spiritual power and seemed to turn into a chariot the moment he was running. The mass of man and gun increased explosively. The tip of the gun pierced Jiugui's body and knocked the monster away like a cannonball.
"We can't let this guy into the hall and cause more damage!"
He came to this conclusion in an instant, and the spear held in both hands contained a spiral penetrating force.
"Bug, you're looking for death!"
Jiugui's flesh was not pierced, but iron feathers grew on his chest skin and his body was distorted. Without the pure energy released by the Tenshin Sakura, as a great demon, there was no need for him to maintain his human form.
More feathers emerged from under his skin, and the sturdy man's face became more ferocious. Huge long wings stretched out from his back, and the feathers on the edges were as sharp as knives.
"Go away!"
Something like a sonic weapon hit Baijie, almost breaking his eardrum. He was paralyzed by the impact and was thrown backwards.
"Bug, the last battle doesn't count. This time I will make you truly experience despair."
Jiugui roared, increasing the demonic energy in his body, and spread his wings, undergoing a more thorough transformation. Steel feathers grew all over his body, and dark demonic energy also expanded in the air.
“Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh—”
It let out a sharp, high-pitched cry and transformed into its original demonic form.
The Iron Chicken of Hades.
It is a monster with an iron crown on its head and steel feathers on its body. It is believed to live in the depths of hell and feed on sinners in hell, cracking their skulls and sucking out their brains as punishment.
boom!
On the other side of the street in the castle town, there was also a huge explosion, as well as strong demonic and spiritual energy. It was the battle between the exorcist and the big monster.
"It seems that it is very likely that both Yamei and Kukutsu Ikki were forced to participate in the battle."
Baijie sorted out the situation in his mind.
He also didn't expect that "Kyuki" could be resurrected after his death.
"Resurrection technique? In that case, Akamatsu Misuke is suspicious."
His expression darkened, and his sharp gaze shifted towards Kuki's true form, the giant chicken-shaped demon.
"...The Society of Beatitudes, have they also intervened?"
Tieji did not answer, nor did he bother to answer.
Its bright eyes, which looked like they were dripping with blood, stared at Bai Jie.
—Dark anger and murderous intent.
In these blood-red demonic eyes, it formed an intricate vortex, transforming into demonic energy that resided in the pupils.
“Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh—”
The sound waves rushed over like a storm focused on one point.
The ground was torn apart and the sound waves bombarded like a bomb.
Baijie used the "Shrinking Amulet" he took back from Haruko to dodge, and he also took out Fengmowan at the same time.
"This guy's demonic aura is almost comparable to that of a ferocious demon, but he's still essentially a great demon. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm the only one who knows its true weaknesses... In this situation, I, the 'hostile' bait, have no choice but to step out so that the ordinary people in the gym can be evacuated..."
Baijie didn't hesitate and directly pulled out the Fengmo Pill.
The next second—
The tip of the dagger was aimed at the heart and stabbed into it.
He pierced his own heart, no, he injected the demonic power of Fengmo Pill into it, into the "spiritual core" in the heart.
boom!
My chest felt like it was about to explode.
The Fengmo Pill disappeared at the wound, leaving only the heart area, which seemed to be buried in the heat of flames.
My heart started beating and I felt a surge of heat.
It was like a vortex of fire and heat, boiling heat spreading to every inch of the body—the heat spread out from the heart, flowing toward the head, shoulders, hands and feet—spreading through every cell in the body, tearing through obstacles, and exploding into the world.
Something happened.
The next moment, Baijie's whole body was gushing out a purple-black sticky aura similar to magma, or miasma.
His body seemed to have become a torrent of some kind of power, erupting with immense light, and even his own figure disappeared—in the purple-black pillar of fire that was rising and swaying with heat waves, something was taking shape again.
Seeing this scene, the pupils of the iron chicken "Jiugui" suddenly constricted, and with a "swish", its wings spread out, and countless blade-like steel feathers flew over.
But before it got close, it was corrupted by the purple-black heat wave, which was a poisonous flame containing a highly toxic substance.
In the purple-black light and shadow like a pillar of fire, Bai Jie's body also began to change. A layer of armor-like product appeared on his body. It was a dark and deep purple bone armor all over the body - the shell of a scorpion, spider, rhinoceros beetle or some kind of poisonous insect, which only reminded people of the exoskeleton of arthropods, attached to the surface of the body.
