Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming frowned and looked into the castle.

Inside the gate, foot soldiers, dressed in light bamboo armor and practically just bones, stood in neat rows, holding bone bows and arrows, constantly drawing their bows and firing deadly arrows at them.

A corpse warrior dressed in black samurai armor, wielding a huge cross-shaped spear, was constantly waving the spear and commanding them.

There were at least one or two hundred of these dead foot soldiers.

This army of corpses is terrifying.

They are not affected by morale, nor do they get tired.

If a normal person were to pull a bow with all their might ten or twenty times, their arms would be sore and weak, and they would be unable to pull the bow anymore.

However, these dead foot soldiers acted like robots, their shooting never ceasing.

Chapter 329 The Ice Queen (Bonus Chapter)

Xu Ming knew he couldn't let them attack so recklessly.

Xu Ming quickly summoned his shikigami from the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), including Erina, who had just woken up.

The piglets were immediately frightened by a volley of arrows as soon as they came out and ran around in all directions.

On the contrary, the seemingly quiet Asagami Fujino stared directly at the rain of arrows, glared at them, and released a twisting power forward.

An invisible, twisting force, like a black hole, drew in the approaching arrows, then twisted them into fragments with a crackling sound.

Xu Ming turned to look at Erina beside him and smiled slightly.

"It's up to you, Erina."

Her silver-blue hair swayed, scattering glittering specks, and a serene smile graced Erina's face.

"Hi, Father."

She answered softly, then gently raised her hand.

Rumble!

As she moved, a huge ice wall rose out of thin air in front of everyone.

The ice wall continued to spread, transforming into a semi-circle that firmly protected everyone within it.

A barrage of bone arrows rained down, striking the ice wall and sending up a shower of ice shards, but the ice wall remained unmoved.

Just then, Erina casually waved her hand forward.

call!

A cold wind came out of nowhere, bringing with it countless white feathers.

It's snowing?

The crowd looked up in confusion as snowflakes continued to fall from the sky.

Woohoo!

The cold wind suddenly intensified, sweeping across the land with a piercing whistle, transforming into a storm that howled and lashed towards the army of corpses.

Under the command of the corpse warriors, the corpse foot soldiers kept drawing their bows and shooting arrows forward. As the blizzard approached, their armor, joints, and weapons were gradually covered with frost, and their movements became slower and slower.

In the end, their entire bodies were covered in frost, and they stopped moving completely.

The entire army of 200 undead soldiers, including the undead warriors, were frozen solid.

Such terrifying power left everyone speechless.

Looking at the rows of crystal-clear ice sculptures in front of him, Xu Ming nodded in satisfaction.

After Erina purified her bloodline, although her soul level did not increase, her soul potential rose from six stars to six and a half stars, making her comparable to her older sister.

The ability 'Elemental Control' remains unchanged.

However, Erina's attribute panel now has a special ability called 'Ice Queen'.

This ability has only one function: it can greatly enhance Erina's control over ice and snow.

If Erina's ability to manipulate other elements is comparable to that of a Soul Level 4, then with this ability, her ability to manipulate ice and snow is approaching that of a Soul Level 5!

"Brother, your shikigami is really powerful."

Slapping his forehead—oh no, the monk Huijing moved closer to Xu Ming and looked at Erina like she was a monster (even though she was a monster).

Xu Ming smiled faintly. These are all basic operations, don't worry about them.

After exchanging a few words with the monk Huijing, just as Xu Ming was about to lead his men into the castle tower.

A white-haired young man dressed in a purple hunting robe, exuding an aristocratic air, suddenly stepped forward, his eyes greedily scrutinizing Erina as if she were a piece of merchandise.

"My friend, how about you sell me your shikigami?"

Xu Ming's smile vanished instantly.

Not to mention that he would never consider Erina and the others as items that could be bought and sold.

This guy seemed to be negotiating, but his tone and demeanor were completely condescending, which was quite annoying.

But this guy was completely oblivious to his own ignorance, with an extremely arrogant expression and his head slightly raised.

"I can offer you a price you can't refuse."

Xu Mingli was too lazy to pay attention to this arrogant idiot and simply waved his hand.

"Let's go."

Monk Huijing nodded seriously.

"Yeah, ignore this idiot."

Although he wasn't very bright, he still understood the basic principle that it was safer to stay close to someone powerful.

Hearing Huijing and the monk's straightforward remark, Xu Ming couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Ming's indifferent attitude immediately enraged the purple-robed Yin-Yang Master.

He was the third son of the Grand Priest of Ise Grand Shrine, a position equivalent to the son of a minister in the secular world.

Relying on his father's favor, no one in the entire Ise Grand Shrine dared to refuse him from childhood to adulthood.

Now Xu Ming is acting as if he is completely ignoring him.

The monk's blunt retort and Xu Ming's laughter made him even angrier, his face turning red.

When has he ever been humiliated like this?!

A burst of snickers came from the crowd nearby.

There were many people here whose status was no lower than his, and no one was afraid of him at all. On the contrary, most of them were looking forward to seeing him make a fool of himself.

The white-haired Onmyoji immediately gritted his teeth.

He stared intently at Xu Ming's retreating figure, making a silent vow in his heart.

'Don't give me a chance, or I'll definitely kill you! No! Killing you would be too easy on you! I'll break your arms and legs, then toy with your shikigami right in front of you, making you wish you were dead!'

No one cared about his dark thoughts. After the obstruction at the gate was removed, the crowd began to make their way toward the castle tower.

Upon entering the castle tower, the light suddenly disappeared.

Inside the castle tower, only torches were stuck in the walls, making it dimly lit with dappled shadows everywhere, and the faint sound of metal scraping could be heard in the distance.

Soon the friction sound grew louder, and a group of corpses dressed in samurai armor, their skin dry and clinging to their bones, emerged from the corner and gradually surrounded the group.

Despite being weakened by the curse, Monk Huijing grinned and twisted his fists.

Just as he was about to rush forward, Xu Ming grabbed him.

"What are you doing? Why won't you let me smash their heads in?"

The monk Huijing asked, looking puzzled.

Xu Ming didn't explain to him, and turned to look at Erina directly.

"Erina, slow them down, but don't kill them."

"Hi, Father."

Erina nodded obediently without asking why.

With a wave of her hand, a blizzard swept through, instantly covering the corpse warriors in frost, as if someone had pressed a slow-down button, making their movements incredibly slow.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, Xu Ming immediately led everyone through the encirclement of the undead warriors and quickly made their way up the stairs to the second floor.

Monk Huijing habitually touched his bald head and followed behind Xu Ming with a puzzled look on his face.

Erina seems to understand Xu Ming's thoughts very well.

As soon as they broke through the encirclement, the frost on the corpse warriors began to thaw, and their movements quickly returned to normal.

Just then, the people who had followed Xu Ming into the castle tower also entered one after another.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of the undead warriors, who stopped chasing Xu Ming and his companions and surged back toward the gate of the castle tower.

Chapter 330 The Tank-like Spider Monster

Previously, there was no other way; without breaking down the barriers, no one could move forward.

Things are different now. Xu Ming isn't so kind as to remove obstacles for others and create more competitors for himself.

The corpse warriors completely blocked the road ahead again, and the people who had originally wanted to follow Xu Ming to steal chickens immediately started cursing when they saw this.

"Damn it! Why are they back again?"

"Rush over there quickly!"

"Don't let that kid run away!"

"The first prize is mine!"

Xu Ming's demonic aura was clearly the strongest in the entire arena. If he were to kill the Great Tengu, the others would be out of luck.

These people were initially somewhat afraid of Xu Ming's strength, but once they gathered together, Xu Ming's intimidating power diminished significantly.

No matter how powerful Xu Ming is, he is still just one person.

Anyone who kills him has a chance to win the top prize!
