Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

You inexplicably showed up at my door and beat me up. I lost, and then you forced me to obey, saying I would die if I didn't.

This isn't ancient times; in modern times, the law applies!

If Higa Kotoko kills someone using magic, then that is evil and heretical.

How can she gain the respect of the public and lead the official exorcism association?

Conversely, if Higa Kotoko were to use ordinary methods to make him disappear from the face of the earth.

So, what exactly did they do to offend you?

You want to kill someone just because they lost the magic duel and refused to join? That's going too far!

"When Kotoko Higa first debuted, she was indeed a bit violent."

"However, she has a strong learning ability, and after just a few battles, her way of doing things has changed."

A genius is a genius; their ability to adapt to modern society far surpasses that of those old fogies.

The most famous example is that in order to recruit exorcists who had returned from the West, Higa Kotoko taught herself multiple languages, including English, German, French, and Italian, and it is said that she spoke foreign languages ​​better than Japanese.

"We will have a closed-door competition, regardless of who wins or loses."

Uncle Daomo: "Even if you don't plan to join, she will still offer all sorts of benefits and come to your door again and again to persuade you, showing great sincerity."

"That's a bit scary."

Gu Yun asked, puzzled, "What's the point?"

He genuinely didn't quite understand Higa Kotoko.

It just so happens that Tsubagi Shiro is going to have a magical duel with her this time, and Gu Yun also wants to hear his firsthand experience.

Only Tsubagi remains of the Four Heavenly Kings, so several years ago, Taniguchi invited the old man to become an advisor to the Iijima school.

"When?"

"Three days later!"

The duel is scheduled for three days from now.

Perfect timing, Gu Yun also needs to wait for a reply from the Kyoto Thousand Demons Parade.

"Keep an eye on it."

Gu Yun said, "I still have some things to take care of, but I'll get them sorted out as soon as possible."

Tsubagi Shiro and Higa Kotoko were locked in a magical duel, and regardless of who won or lost, Tanigumo had no choice but to intervene.

Higa is now the head of the Ten Famous Families and the president of the official exorcism association established four years ago.

If someone like her were to be defeated by Shiro Tsubagi, the entire Exorcism Association might take action.

"This is so troublesome..."

Gu Yun smacked his lips: "No wonder Grandpa always speaks ill of Shiro; he probably cleaned up a lot of messes for him when he was young."

Now, the snail has gone to the underworld to enjoy its blessings.

Gu Yun felt that he should think of a way to send Tsubagi Shiro to see his grandfather as soon as possible.

Otherwise, with nothing better to do all day, who knows what kind of trouble this guy might cause.

Chapter 88 The Night Parade of a Thousand Demons and the Feathered Fox

Deep within the secluded forest shrouded in mist, the cawing of crows rose and fell; this was the great barrier of Mount Kurama.

Although there is a place called Kurama in present-day Kyoto, the two are not the same place.

The area inside and outside the barrier is a completely different world.

"Master Yuyokofun."

The old man had a crimson face, a long nose and thick white beard typical of Japanese tengu, and wore a traditional Japanese outfit called Yamabushi. The black wings on his back clearly indicated his identity as a tengu!

The Great Tengu of Mount Kurama is a powerful demon who has cultivated for many years and whose demonic power has reached the highest level.

Since a thousand years ago, the monk Shōbō of Kurama Mountain has followed Nue (Abe no Seimei) to help Hagoromo Gitsune give birth, in order to fulfill Nue's ambition of making darkness prevail over light.

"The Great Tengu?"

Yu Yi Tsuru knelt behind the gauze curtain, obscuring her current figure: "I have only recently been reincarnated, please forgive any rudeness."

Kuramazan Sōjōbō holds a position in the Thousand Demon Parade that is equivalent to the Demon King's assistant; even Hagoromo Gitsune has to give him some respect.

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm relieved that you are in good health."

The Kyoto yokai's long-held dream has been to revive Nue and bring back the great Onmyoji from a thousand years ago to the human world.

Therefore, whenever Hagoromo Gitsune is reincarnated, they gather together.

When Hagoromo Gitsune's physical body perishes, the demons will leave again until the next cycle of reincarnation.

"So, what conditions did they propose?"

Kuramazan Sōjōbō looked at Kidōmaru, who was standing to the side, and the latter said, "The time, place, and rules are all to be determined by them."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the monk Zhengfang of Kurama Mountain frowned slightly, while the group of tengu he brought along became even more agitated.

"How arrogant!"

"They don't take us seriously at all!"

"He's just a guy who showed up while we were away, how dare he..."

"quiet!!"

Seeing that the discussion about the tengu was escalating, the monk Sōbō of Kurama Mountain spoke up and said, "With Lord Hagoromo-gitsune here, you must not be rude!"

"Yes…"

The tengu fell silent again, and then Kuramazan Sōjōbō looked at Kidōmaru and said, "Excuse me for speaking frankly, but these conditions are too much."

"The opponent is very strong."

However, when confronted with the questioning of the monk Sōjōbō of Kurama Mountain, Kidōmaru simply replied with this one sentence.

"Strong?"

Kuramayama paused for a moment, his eyes filled with confusion.

"The person who contacted me was a Guhuoniao (a type of bird).

"Guhuoniao?"

Yokai also have racial stats. Yokai like the Snow Woman have very high potential even without training.

Compared to Yuki-onna, Ubume is hardly a formidable opponent.

The maternal monster that steals babies can only bully ordinary villagers at most.

It's a pity this isn't the world of Onmyoji, otherwise, the fact that Guhuoniao could solo a villager with a UR rarity would surpass the achievements of many top-tier shikigami like Ara and Ashura.

"How powerful can the Guhuoniao be?"

Kurama couldn't understand Kidomaru's caution, but then he heard the latter say, "The other party is a master swordsman."

"Great Tengu, you should know very well what this means."

In ancient times, the main forces humans used to fight against demons were magic and martial arts.

They were created by the gods who were once human, and grew and prospered over a long period of time.

Some of these master swordsmen and martial artists are even capable of matching great monsters with their own strength.

Even if you can't win, you can still fight to the death to stop the opponent's advance.

You must understand, this is a challenge against the gods with a mortal body. Even if you lose, all you will get is respect.

"impossible!"

The Great Tengu exclaimed in surprise, "She's a demon, how could she possibly possess such swordsmanship!"

It's not that monsters can't practice swordsmanship, but rather that a solid foundation is crucial in swordsmanship.

When a monster can easily tear rocks apart, how can she possibly have the patience to wield her sword meticulously?

It's likely that he'll unleash a burst of demonic energy with a casual wave of his hand right from the start.

A towering building starts from the ground up. If you haven't laid a solid foundation, how can you aspire to a higher realm?

Someone like Kidomaru spent nearly a thousand years to achieve the status of a master, starting from nothing.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, Ōtengu is no match for Kidōmaru.

Moreover, Kidomaru is always cautious, and even he can't see through that the Ubume is extremely capable and is the legendary swordsmanship master.

"Would someone like that really serve others?"

Most of the monsters present were demons who had followed Nue since ancient times.

Most of them are at the middle to upper level in strength, but very few can reach the special level.

This is also due to the drawbacks of cultivating 'fear'.

The demonic power from Wei is too impure, and in order to better refine it, demons will transform their bodies from the second layer to the first layer.

In other words, it is to use a physical body of flesh and blood to restrain 'fear'.

In this way, the body is like a container, and the demonic power is the water in the container.

Once the container is broken, the demonic power will continuously overflow.

This is why, when Kyoto yokai and Tokyo yokai are injured, demonic power that escapes from their bodies like black characters.

"That's what I don't understand either."

Kidomaru recalled the sword strike from Ubume, whose strength far surpassed his own: "She is very likely a great demon."

"Big monster!"

Even Hagoromo Gitsune couldn't sit still anymore.

She knew that in recent years, a group of incredibly powerful demons had suddenly emerged in Tokyo.
