I have a ghost diary

"I said I could give you a way out, but on the condition that you tell me who the planners are?"

These surrendered demon masters looked at each other, but not one of them stepped forward voluntarily.

This isn't just them being stubborn; they've already abandoned their dignity and surrendered, so what's there to be stubborn about?

Since they have all surrendered, they must not be core retainers of the Kujo family, so that they won't be eliminated by the Soga family afterward. Since they are not core retainers, how could they possibly know the detailed plans from above?

The short man who was the first to surrender took the initiative to explain.

After listening, Chu Jiang asked seriously, "Then do you think I can just let you go like this? Don't forget, all of you attacked me just now."

The man dressed as a ninja gritted his teeth. "Yes! I understand!"

As he spoke, he stood up, looked behind him, and shouted, "Kujou Kazuki, come out and face your death!"

"You are the ace of the Kujo family; even the head of the family values ​​your opinion. You must have been involved in the planning of this scheme. Come out and expose the other participants, or you will surely die today!"

Hearing this guy righteously tell him to go out and face his death, Kujo Kazuki was so angry he almost spat out blood.

This traitor—I don't even remember his name; he was just a vaguely familiar nobody in the past. Now, not only is he cowardly and has betrayed his country in the face of battle, but he also dares to say such things to me with such a strong voice?

Kujo Kazuki originally wanted to kill this guy immediately, but he was afraid of revealing his actual location, so he just kept moving while saying in a sinister tone: You bunch of traitors must all die!

Chu Jiang clapped his hands. "Alright, find the rest and kill them, then I'll believe your sincerity. As for Kujou Kazuki..."

He pointed in one direction, then moved swiftly, leaving only afterimages in the air.

"You run pretty fast, but do you really think that's effective?"

After saying that, Chu Jiang's hand remained still in one direction.

In that instant, a strong sense of crisis rose in Kujou Kazuki's heart! Even though he was not in the direction Chu Jiang was pointing.

At this critical moment of life and death, Kujo Kazuki suddenly remembered something:

It has been raining in the Ghost Abyss, and now it is raining the same way at the shrine; in the Ghost Abyss, he was trapped in an illusion and saw all sorts of incredible things; now at the shrine, he clearly saw Chu Jiang die, but the other party was inexplicably unharmed.

In the end, Kujo Kazuki concluded that he had fallen into a hallucination again!

Having realized this, Kujou Kazuki, who already had experience, suddenly broke free from the illusion.

In the instant he broke free, he didn't have time to observe his surroundings and immediately made his figure vanish into nothingness.

Kujo Kazuki finally used this trump card, this demon, which he had almost never used in front of anyone.

Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised and lowered his outstretched hand.

Chu Jiang did indeed use the illusion ability of the demon sword Tianqi earlier. Kujou Ikki thought he was hiding everywhere, but in reality, he was just standing still.

This is why Chu Jiang was able to easily kill that female ghost master before. She thought she had attacked, but in reality, she was just standing there foolishly waiting to die.

But when it came time to kill Ikki, this guy actually managed to break free from the illusion on his own? How did he "die" in the world of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter before?

Chu Jiang shook his head. It seemed he had indeed underestimated the first expert of the Kujo family.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he did not unleash the full power of the Heavenly Cry.

The intensity of the hallucination is currently equivalent to any hallucination world in the Ghost Abyss, such as "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" or "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio"; it is even slightly milder because Chu Jiang did not weave a story world for Kujo Kazuki to immerse himself in.

Nevertheless, Chu Jiang is now also suffering from the backlash of the demonic blade; he can see that there is an extra "person" beside him.

This person looks exactly like him, like another Chu Jiang.

However, this "Chu Jiang" had a cold expression, and could even be described as staring at the real body with unseeing eyes.

Chu Jiang was wearing a blood-stained Luoxi No. 7 Middle School uniform, with a large hole in his chest, his flesh and blood mangled.

This is clearly the Chu Jiang who was first pierced through the chest by the Slender Man in school, and then swallowed up by the Ghost Diary.

Now, the demon sword seems to be telling its user: You are not Chu Jiang; the real Chu Jiang is long dead.

Chu Jiang simply smiled in response; such a level of illusion could not shake his resolve.

Regardless of the battle of wits between Chu Jiang and Yi Hui, the surrendered ghost masters, upon hearing Chu Jiang's orders, began to besiege the remaining dozen or so loyalists who had hidden themselves, in order to save their own lives.

And this time it was that short ninja man leading the way again, it seems he was really going all out.

Seeing this, Chu Jiang took back the illusions he had cast on the two groups of ghost masters and let them fight it out themselves; Tianqi's abilities were powerful, but they couldn't be abused, so he should save as much as possible.

At this moment, Kujou Kazuki had truly disappeared. Chu Jiang could sense the presence of all living things, but he could not detect any trace of this guy.

But it doesn't matter, we haven't escaped the barrier of lifelessness anyway.

Because Soga Hayashi secretly informed Chu Jiang, there are now powerful members of the Soga family keeping watch outside. If anything escapes from the barrier, that powerful member will send an alert immediately.

Since that's the case, let's first take down this guy who's secretly using the [No-Life Technique].

Chu Jiang walked step by step toward the shrine, while Soga Sayuki stood guard at the shrine entrance, keeping a close eye on everything around her.

The Barrier of No Life still exists at this moment, because as soon as the opponent withdraws it, Chu Jiang's Solar Ghost Domain can almost seamlessly connect with it. At that time, the people of the Kujo family will have even less chance of escaping, so they can only hold on for now.

Chapter 415 All Rain is a Blade

Inside the shrine, the person striking the wooden fish drum was an elderly shaman from the Kujo family. He was practically an uncle of Kujo Yoshii, but at this moment he only felt sorrow.

Is the Kujo family, which has been passed down for nearly six hundred years, going to perish here today?

At that moment, the old man named Kujo Tohi suddenly heard Kujo Kazuki's voice in his mind.

"Please lend me a hand, Higashi-nii. I want to escape with the [Musei Honin]. Afterwards, I will do my best to preserve the bloodline of our Kujo family and prevent the Soga family's conspiracy from succeeding."

Upon hearing this, Kujo Higashi immediately made up his mind. Ikki was the most outstanding among the juniors, and he could only place his last hope on him.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Chu Jiang burst through the door and walked in step by step.

He said calmly, "Hand over the wooden fish to me and explain the function and negative effects of this sealing artifact; also explain the function and effects of the Vajra Dagger, otherwise you know very well what will happen to you."

The old man in the monk's robe remained silent; his face was covered in wrinkles, making him look particularly unsightly at that moment.

Chu Jiang looked around. "Kujou Kazuki should be here too, right? Your ability is a bit special. It doesn't seem to be about hiding your aura, but rather about truly breaking yourself down into smaller parts."

"Let me guess, vaporization? Atomization? Molecularization?"

There was no response from the surroundings. In fact, at the very moment Chu Jiang was guessing, the wooden fish placed in front of the old man suddenly moved! It seemed as if it was about to be taken away by an invisible hand.

At the same moment, the surrounding environment darkened, and behind Kujo Higashi appeared a dark blue-green demon king with a single horn on its head. This demon could evoke the most primal fear in the target's heart.

In the past, when this old man dealt with other ghost masters, some people were so frightened that they lost control of their bladders, and some even cried out for their mothers.

Moreover, fear breeds delusion, delusion breeds obsession, and in the end, one might even scare oneself to death.

But even though the Ghost King's eyes were fixed on Chu Jiang's eyes and the power was activated, Chu Jiang remained expressionless and motionless.

To be honest, after experiencing the "test" of Ghost Abyss, an S-class vengeful ghost, this kind of similar, or even singular, negative emotion was really nothing to Chu Jiang.

Although Chu Jiang's willpower resisted the power of the One-Horned Demon King, at the same time, the wooden fish had been taken away by Kujou Kazuki and disappeared into thin air.

Kujo Higashi was initially somewhat desperate, but seeing Chu Jiang "powerless to stop" Ikki from taking away the [Musei Honin], he couldn't help but feel that his death would be worthwhile, as long as Ikki could escape.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jiang simply said, "Do you think you can escape?"

When Chu Jiang spoke, Kujou Ikki had already escaped to the edge of the Musou Barrier.

He only had one chance, so he wanted to unleash his fastest speed the moment the barrier of lifelessness was removed and escape from Chu Jiang's ghostly domain.

Although Ikki's "Kyoukotsu" itself also has its own demonic aura, which can make those who are trapped in it dance wildly until they go mad and die.

However, he had no confidence that his ghost domain could counter the black sun's ghost domain, which is why they initially used the Lifeless Barrier to seal Chu Jiang's ability.

As for Kujo Kazuki's current state, it's pretty much what Chu Jiang guessed.

The last ghost on his body was called "Ghost Aura".

This ghost has no physical form; it is an invisible, eerie gas that can invade other people's bodies with their breath, silently taking their lives in an instant.

Moreover, after Kujou Kazuki completely controlled the demon, he was able to merge himself with the demon's energy and completely dissipate into a cloud of gas.

This mass of gas is then dispersed into countless tiny parts, evenly distributed throughout the entire lifeless barrier. Even with the most acute senses, it would be impossible to find Kujou Ikki.

What Kujou Kazuki needs to do now is to retract the Musou Barrier and disperse the gas he has transformed into in all directions.

After escaping a sufficient distance, he then unified all the gas and condensed it back into his original human form.

Even if some of the gas is destroyed during this process, it doesn't matter. For Ikki, it's just a matter of losing an arm or a leg. He can use the [Blood Eater] to devour other living people to repair his physical damage.

It can be said that Kujou Kazuki's escape ability is indeed extremely strong, but just as he was about to dispel the Barrier of No Life, he heard Chu Jiang's cold words.

As Chu Jiang spoke, he gently twitched the long sword in his right hand.

The Demon Blade Heavenly Cry scattered and splashed like water, with each drop breaking into even finer water vapor.

At the same time, the rain that had been falling incessantly from the sky, as the main body changed, also instantly decomposed and dispersed into countless tiny water vapors.

These water vapors possess all the characteristics of the demon sword, including its sharpness, its supernatural power, and its indestructibility!

"ピッチピッチチャップチャップ~? (pattering pattering, splashing, splashing, splashing)"

"ランランラン~? (La la la)"

As Chu Jiang continued singing the nursery rhyme from before, countless demonic swords and water vapors launched a full-scale assassination attack on everything invisible within the Lifeless Barrier without any particular target!

In that instant, all the remaining living people inside the barrier heard a muffled groan.

Then they discovered that the smooth inner surface of the lifeless barrier was instantly covered with a neat layer of blood; as the blood was generated, fragments of bone, flesh, skin, hair, and other human tissues also surfaced in the blood...

Kujo Kazuki has officially died.

In a sense, he had just exposed his most vulnerable side to Chu Jiang.

Originally, because of the existence of the Blood Eater, Kujou Kazuki could continue to live even if he was just a head, as long as Chu Jiang didn't kill him with a single finger using the power of "Reincarnation to Death".

It was precisely because he divided himself into countless parts that Chu Jiang's attack hit every part of his body perfectly.

During this process, none of the four demons inside Kujo Kazuki's body—whether it was Blood Eater, Demon Crow, Mad Bone, or Demon Aura—could save his life.

The Demon Blade Tianqi once again demonstrated its terrifying power; it truly lived up to the prophecy in Ghost Diary that it could kill Chu Jiang.

With the death of Kujo Kazuki, an old, rustic, dark brown wooden fish fell silently from the sky.

The material of this item is quite special; it wasn't shattered by the demon sword, but many fine marks appeared on its surface.

Chu Jiang casually grabbed the wooden fish from outside and put it into his left hand, while at the same time he gripped the demon sword Tianqi, which had returned to its original state, in his right hand.

The old man from the Kujo family opposite them collapsed the moment he confirmed Ikki's death, his expression completely blank...
