Why is my anime art style so weird?

"If you dare say I'm bald again, I'll smash your head flat! You believe me?"

"Humph!"

Perhaps it was because Monk Huijing was somewhat famous (for his naiveté), but the man who made the sarcastic remark was either afraid of his strength or something else. He snorted coldly, turned his head, and pretended not to care about Monk Huijing.

Monk Huijing casually spat on the ground.

"Pah! If you're so weak, I'll go for it!"

After saying that, he actually walked nonchalantly onto the bridge.

A flash of anger and resentment crossed the man's eyes, but when he saw the monk Huijing actually walking towards the bridge, a gloating expression appeared on his face.

The others standing at the bridgehead also stared coldly at Monk Huijing, their eyes filled with mockery.

Xu Ming watched all of this with a cold eye.

He didn't recklessly follow the senior monk.

The fact that so many people are gathered here and not moving forward indicates that this bridge must be dangerous, and quite dangerous at that.

Only a fool would charge straight up.

Xu Ming glanced at the bald man whose head was shining brightly in the sunlight, making his eyes water.

Calling him a bald monk is truly an understatement.

Bald, stubborn, and stupid.

Xu Ming had no obligation to remind the monk, not to mention that he had already saved him twice, the Tiantai sect behind the monk had a grudge against him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Monk Huijing quickly stepped onto the bridge.

At first glance, this bridge seems to be just the kind of old-fashioned wooden bridge that is very common in Japan and appears in period dramas.

The bridge surface was made of wooden planks, and the railings next to it were not much taller than a person's thigh, all painted vermilion.

Just then, a mournful song faintly drifted from the bridge.

The other onlookers immediately perked up, revealing expressions of anticipation.

Pairs of malicious eyes were fixed on the monk Huijing as she strode onto the bridge.

Xu Ming suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and before he knew it, a woman dressed in a white kimono and holding a white paper umbrella appeared in the middle of the bridge.

She stood by the bridge, facing outwards, her paper umbrella obscuring the upper half of her face, revealing only half of her fair and delicate cheek and a pair of lips redder than blood.

Those bright red lips opened and closed, and the mournful song seemed to come from the woman's mouth.

Qiao Ji, a name suddenly popped into Xu Ming's mind.

She was a female demon who appeared by the bridge, belonging to the Japanese water spirits and goddesses. Because she was deeply in love with someone but could not be with her beloved, she jumped off the bridge into the water and committed suicide.

If a man crosses the bridge at night, the demon will appear and lure him into the water to drown. If a woman crosses the bridge, the demon will forcibly pull her into the water.

It is a very terrifying monster.

While it's not exactly unsolvable, stepping onto the bridge is essentially entering the Bridge Princess's territory, making even the most powerful Onmyoji feel extremely passive.

No wonder these people are gathered at the bridgehead and refuse to go up; they're probably waiting for a cannon fodder like the big monk.

Xu Ming's guess was correct.

After the bridge princess appeared, the crowd waiting at the bridgehead immediately became restless, and the situation was about to break out.

The monk Huijing was unaware that he was in danger.

He reached out and touched his bald head, sizing up the woman.

He just thought the woman's singing voice was very beautiful, and he really wanted to go over and get closer to her.

Gradually, the monk Huijing's eyes dimmed, as if he were bewitched, and he slowly walked towards the woman.

Under the cover of the paper umbrella, the woman's red lips curled slightly, revealing a faint, cold smile.

Just then, the monk Huijing suddenly shuddered, and his eyes regained their clarity.

"Oh! You woman, you're pulling this trick too! Trying to frame me!"

He flew into a rage, his entire body was instantly enveloped in golden light, and he transformed into a golden Arhat, throwing a powerful punch at the woman in white!

Chapter 326 Bridge Princess? Bridge Overlord!

Everyone present was shocked to see this.

Xu Ming seemed to have thought of something, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

He suddenly remembered that he had saved this monk by the bathtub at the hot spring hotel.

There, too, are drowning women seducing men.

Could it be that this guy has already fallen for her trick once, so he's immune to Hashihime's seduction?

Is this the legendary case of fools having good fortune?

It really makes me cry.

Princess Hashihime also seemed to be completely enraged by the monk's actions.

"Yay!"

She immediately stopped singing, letting out a piercing shriek, and simultaneously held the paper umbrella in front of her.

puff!

The high monk's golden fist struck the seemingly fragile umbrella surface, but it was as if he had hit a ball of cotton, having no effect whatsoever.

Just then, the sound of rushing water suddenly came from under the bridge.

Xu Ming subconsciously looked down from the bridge, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

The river water under the bridge suddenly turned murky, and then countless pale arms emerged from the water, surging densely towards the bridge surface, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Monk Huijing kept punching with both fists, but he couldn't break through Qiao Ji's paper umbrella.

He soon noticed the arms surging forward, and his expression changed drastically.

At this moment, the monk Huijing suddenly made a move that Xu Ming had not expected.

All that could be heard was his loud roar.

"I can't beat them! I'm outta here! Outta here!"

Then he turned and ran away.

Even Qiao Ji didn't expect that this guy, who looked so tough, would be so decisive when he ran away.

Before they knew it, the monk Huijing had actually escaped to the other side of the bridge.

Qiao Ji stood on the bridge, staring coldly at the monk Hui Jing on the other side, exuding murderous intent.

Countless pale arms waved behind her, like a tide of tentacles, making her look extremely terrifying.

However, Qiao Ji seemed to have some concerns. Despite her expression of wanting to tear Hui Jing monk to pieces, she never set foot on the other side.

Xu Ming suddenly heard a sigh beside him.

The group was clearly regretting that they hadn't taken the opportunity to cross the bridge guarded by the Bridge Princess.

"Brother, I'm going first!"

Standing on the opposite bank, the monk Huijing completely ignored the cold-faced Qiao Ji, waved to Xu Ming, and then swaggered along the path towards the castle tower not far away.

Xu Ming smiled and shook his head.

I don't know whether to call him a wise fool or a fool who is lucky.

The monk Huijing's successful breakthrough of Qiaoji's defense immediately stirred up many people's interest.

If a monk who's as stupid as a donkey can get through it easily, how could these elites of Shintoism not get through it?

An Onmyoji immediately stepped forward, wearing a white hunting robe embroidered with a blue six-pointed star and a tall black hat.

He held a paper talisman between his hands, met Qiao Ji's cold gaze, and stepped directly onto the bridge.

The Onmyoji's hands kept changing hand seals, his feet moved in mysterious steps, and he chanted secret incantations.

Soon a huge magic circle radiating seven-colored light appeared in front of him.

"...Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

Accompanied by a cold shout from the Onmyoji.

boom!

A rainbow-colored beam of light shot out from the magic circle and directly towards Qiao Ji, who was standing in the center.

Without any visible movement from Qiao Ji, arms suddenly shot out from behind her, blocking her path.

The rainbow-colored beam of light collided head-on with the tide of arms.

At first, the beam of light had the upper hand, forcing the arm to retreat continuously.

However, the Onmyoji's expression turned extremely ugly.

The difference is too great.

It was far from what he had imagined.

According to his calculations, the Yin-Yang technique he unleashed should have pierced through the arm's obstruction with overwhelming force, instantly killing Hashihime.

But now, the beam of light can only slowly push forward little by little.

The beam of light has its limits, but the arms behind Princess Hashi seemed endless, constantly surging up from under the bridge.

Gradually, the beam of light began to weaken, being pushed back little by little by the tide of arms.

puff!

Knowing this was a critical moment, the Onmyoji dared not hold back. He bit his tongue and spat his blood onto the magic circle in front of him.

The beam of light released by the magic circle suddenly swelled, becoming even thicker and stronger, pushing back the tide of arms once again, and rushing towards Qiao Ji at high speed.

Princess Qiao's expression remained unchanged. Facing the incoming pillar of light, she gracefully raised her paper umbrella and held it in front of her.

After the beam of light broke through the arm's resistance, it slammed hard into the paper umbrella.

This paper umbrella, I don't know what it's made of, is indestructible.
