Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 119 Seize!

"I don't believe you, let's try again!!"

The copper coin continued its leisurely journey, as if mocking everyone's tension, tracing a strange arc before heading straight for the Amaterasu Swordsman in the sky, whose hair was now disheveled, whose face had turned from blue to purple and finally to deathly pale, and whose body was naked and trembling.

All eyes were fixed on the copper coin.

Amaterasu Sword Master let out a shrill cry that was not human. He would rather face ten bolts of heavenly lightning from the old celestial master than suffer the humiliation of losing his treasure in public again!

He even subconsciously wanted to hug the Yata no Kagami to his chest, as if it were his last fig leaf, but this action seemed even more ridiculous and desperate in the eyes of others.

The Amaterasu Swordsman was wielding a powerful aura, and the Japanese below roared, wanting to rush to his aid. However, Zhao Zhenren and the others would not stand idly by.

"You old fox, let's see how sharp this Daoist's sword is!"

At this moment, Qi Shun'ai's severed arm had been reattached to a human hand, which looked incongruous. But when it saw the copper coin sword, it suddenly felt a phantom pain in its hand.

The old celestial master's thunder roared in time, firmly pinning Amaterasu's swordsman in mid-air, the golden protective shield teetering on the verge of collapse.

The monk Fukai Gakumi of Todai-ji Temple chanted Buddhist mantras again in an attempt to intercept it, but the falling coin ignored the barrier of Buddhist light and disappeared in a flash once more.

Chen Hengyi felt his palm sink.

This time, the item I received was cold and hard, carrying an indescribable aura of antiquity, weight, and grandeur!

He looked down and his heart suddenly stopped beating!

What he held in his hand was no longer clothing or ornaments, but a slightly damaged, ancient bronze mirror!

The mirror's surface is understated, subtly radiating a warm yet majestic golden light. The back of the mirror is engraved with ancient and intricate cloud patterns and symbols of the sun—it is the very national treasure, the Yata no Kagami!

"Holy shit!" Chen Hengyi's mind went blank, with only these two words echoing in his head.

"Ha ha!"

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

All the jeers, roars, magical explosions, and clashing swords seemed to be wiped away instantly by an invisible hand.

Master Zhao's laughter stopped abruptly, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit a duck egg.

The expressions on Wang Gaogong and the others' faces froze on the edge of shock and ecstasy.

"He actually got it!"

The expressions on the faces of the Japanese Onmyoji opposite them changed instantly from anger and shame to extreme terror and bewilderment, as if their faith had collapsed.

"No-!!!"

A piercing, soul-wrenching scream erupted from the Amaterasu Sword Master's mouth. He felt his hands were empty; the source of power that had connected him to his mind and supported his resistance against the Celestial Master's Mansion's thunder magic had vanished!

A tremendous sense of loss, accompanied by overwhelming shame and fear, instantly engulfed him.

At the same time, without the support of the divine artifact, the old celestial master's long-brewing golden lightning, carrying the majestic power of heaven, was no longer hindered!

"Boom—Crack!!!"

The blinding golden light devoured everything!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a chilling "hissing" sound that seemed to instantly purify and annihilate even the space itself.

After the golden light passed, the sky became clear.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone again on the sea and the island.

In mid-air, only a few wisps of smoke and a few pieces of charred ashes with sparks of fire remained, drifting away in the wind.

The Amaterasu Swordsman of Ise Grand Shrine, along with his last shred of dignity, was utterly destroyed, leaving not a trace, under the Five Thunder Orthodox Law, which symbolized the supreme majesty of Chinese Taoism!

After a brief silence.

"Hahahaha! We won!!" Master Zhao was the first to react, bursting into deafening laughter, his voice trembling with disbelief. "Good lad! You're a damn lucky charm! You even managed to snatch the divine artifact!!"

The morale of the Taoist side was soaring, and cheers thundered!

Meanwhile, the Japanese and their allies on the other side were plunged into utter panic and chaos.

The loss of their strongest weapon, the Yata Mirror, and the annihilation of their swordsmanship—this blow was more devastating than any magic!

"Yata no Kagami! Take back Yata no Kagami!" Abe's descendant roared hoarsely, his eyes filled with madness.

"Lord Qi Shun'ai!" The High Priest also looked anxiously in a certain direction.

However, just as the Taoist sect members were preparing to press their advantage and annihilate the remaining enemies completely, a "buzz—" sound rang out.

The Yata Mirror in Chen Hengyi's hand suddenly vibrated violently, emitting a deep hum!

As the mirror shimmered, a cold, sinister, alluring yet intensely resentful intent suddenly erupted from it, attempting to assault Chen Hengyi's mind!

At this moment, those old fogies from Japan went completely mad.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hengyi quickly bit his tongue and came to his senses.

"This damn mirror even has a hidden trap! How insidious! But once it's in my hands, it's mine!"

During his escape, Chen Hengyi took out a seal.

[Chen Hengyi's Seal Printing]

"Let me stamp your application first!"

Chen Hengyi wasn't afraid of breaking the mirror, so he directly smashed it with the jade seal.

In an instant, an invisible power burst forth from between the two objects, causing the Yata Mirror to tremble slightly.

Chen Hengyi could sense that this thing refused to submit to him, as if it were a spirit.

Therefore, this belongs to someone else and cannot be kept by one's own body.

Chen Hengyi sensed that the pursuers behind him had all been stopped by the Taoists.

The figure of the old celestial master came rushing in from the front.

It flew over Chen Hengyi.

Chen Hengyi stopped and started smashing things!

His jade seal was made from materials awarded by the Black Book, and since it was forged, it has become incredibly hard, so he is not afraid of it breaking at all.

As for this so-called divine artifact... if you refuse to submit, we'll just stamp it on you, and we won't care if it gets damaged.

Soon, the entire Yata Mirror was covered with Chen Hengyi's name.

The Yata no Kagami trembled, like a humiliated and frightened young wife, conveying a sense of grief and indignation.

"Hey, you scoundrel! I'll throw you into the latrine!"

Chen Hengyi struck again with the jade seal, and a spider-like gash appeared on the Yata no Kagami.

At that moment, Chen Hengyi suddenly sensed something unusual coming from the black book.

"Huh?" He turned around and saw the old master slowly withdrawing his hand, while Qi Shun'ai and the others had turned into charred corpses.

He immediately understood that the mission was complete.

But now was not the time to look at the rewards, so Chen Hengyi turned around and ran back.

"Boy, your stamping technique is quite unique when it comes to dealing with disobedient magical artifacts." The old celestial master's figure appeared beside Chen Hengyi like a fleeting shadow.

He glanced at the Yata Mirror, which was covered in cracks and bore the inscription "Chen Hengyi Seal," and his lips twitched slightly. "It's just a pity that the spiritual energy inside is so stubborn and unresponsive."

E

"Nothing to regret!" Chen Hengyi replied immediately, but his stamping motion didn't stop at all.

"This broken mirror is incredibly malevolent; it's trying to bewitch me! Perfect, I'll take it apart and see what kind of monsters are hidden inside!"

As he spoke, he actually used the hard jade seal as a hammer, pretending to smash it into the center of the crack on the mirror.

That said, if something isn't yours, no matter how precious it is, you won't feel as bad about fighting over it.
