Why is my anime art style so weird?

The flames instantly spread to his arm, intertwining with the twisting force.

As for the ice on his legs, it had long since been melted by the flames.

After a while, the power of distortion gradually dissipated.

The Great Tengu's arm was not seriously injured; the minor superficial wounds began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within seconds, its arm was fully restored.

It clenched its fist tightly, making a cracking sound.

After stretching his arms, the Great Tengu curled the corners of his mouth and beckoned to Xu Ming and the others with a finger, his contempt evident in his expression.

Xu Ming frowned.

I never expected this guy to be so difficult to deal with.

Even though it was the one being ganged up on, it maintained a firm advantage, acting like an invincible demon king.

It's no longer a question of whether or not to keep our cards close to our chest; one wrong move and we could be completely wiped out.

There's nothing we can do.

Xu Ming decisively gripped the cross on his chest and launched his killing move!

Arbitration of the Olympic Flame!

"What's wrong!? Is that all there is to it?"

The Great Tengu was swaggering around when he suddenly sensed something was wrong and looked up at the sky.

I don't know when the ceiling disappeared.

Golden clouds suddenly spread out.

The hymns rang out, the trumpets sounded, white angelic feathers fell, and the gates of heaven slowly opened.

Inside the gate, the vice-ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom slowly raised the Heavenly Punishment Sword in his hand and slashed it down at the Great Tengu!

Golden light instantly filled the entire space, transforming the fourth floor of the castle tower into a giant lighthouse.

Outside the castle tower, a group of people had just arrived. Upon seeing this magnificent scene, their expressions changed drastically, and they all stopped in their tracks.

In such a battle of gods, they would be nothing more than easy prey if they went up there!

The sheer force of the attack alone was enough to frighten a group of participants.

The Sword of Heavenly Punishment is terrifying!

The Great Tengu, facing the sword of divine punishment, was utterly terrified.

It suddenly realized that an invisible and terrifying aura, like the entire Mount Fuji, was pressing down on it, rendering it unable to move and leaving it no choice but to obediently commit suicide.

"You want to kill me? No way!"

The Great Tengu roared, and crimson flames erupted from its body, making it seem as if its entire body was ablaze.

Under immense pressure, it slowly raised its arms to protect its head.

However, that's all it can do.

The next second, the golden sword of divine punishment crashed down.

boom!

It was as if a sun had appeared out of nowhere, and everyone immediately covered their eyes with their hands.

The dazzling golden light even penetrated the floor, illuminating the entire castle tower.

"what!"

Amidst the light, a tremendous scream was heard from the Great Tengu.

Soon after, the light faded, and the figure of the Great Tengu gradually became visible.

Its warrior armor melted under the intense heat, fusing with its flesh and blood. Its entire body was charred black, constantly emitting blue smoke, and emitting a foul stench of burning. Its arms were burned to ashes.

Despite its dire condition, it is still alive, which makes one marvel at its tenacious vitality.

Xu Ming frowned. He could clearly see that the Great Tengu's body seemed to be trembling slightly; it still had a breath left.

Just as Xu Ming raised his phone to deliver the final blow.

A whooshing sound suddenly came from the corner, followed by a crimson beam of light that appeared out of nowhere.

Swish!

It pierced through the Great Tengu's head in one strike.

Countless cracks appeared on the Great Tengu's body, and it slowly turned to ashes.

Xu Ming's face immediately darkened.

He's always the one stealing other people's monsters (Ryougi Shiki suddenly sneezed in the distance), when did it become someone else's turn to steal his monsters?

That's practically suicide!

An invisible ripple suddenly appeared in the air, followed by the appearance of a sinister-looking young man.

This person is none other than Taisho Seijiro, son of Taisho Kōhei, who has a personal grudge against Xu Ming for killing his father (according to himself).

He seemed to have used some kind of invisibility spell, secretly hiding to the side, waiting for this moment to reap the benefits.

Xu Ming gripped the crowbar tightly, his face contorted with rage.

After the Great Tengu died, a massive amount of purple demonic energy flew to Taisho Seijiro, causing his demonic energy level to surge. Judging from the scale, it seemed to be even greater than Xu Ming's.

With a smug smile on his face, Taisho Seijiro waved the black paper talisman in his hand.

"Don't be impulsive. This is a forbidden talisman from Akimiya Shrine called 'Evil Spirit Possession'."

"Once I use this talisman, you'd better be prepared to perish together with me."

Chapter 334 The Old Coin (Bonus Chapter)

Xu Ming stared at the paper talisman, which emitted a visible black, ominous aura, as if something terrifying was sealed inside.

Judging solely from his imposing presence, it seems that what Taisho Seijiro said was not unfounded.

Xu Ming's mind raced.

If I reveal my final trump card, can I quickly kill this kid?

However, Xu Ming's silence was interpreted by Taisho Seijiro as hesitation and apprehension.

His smile widened.

"That's right. I have no intention of seeking revenge against you; I only want the top prize this time. My mother has gone mad; she's willing to sacrifice me for a dead man."

"I'm a genius in the art of Yin and Yang, with a bright future ahead of me. How could I possibly die together with someone else for the sake of a dead person?"

A mocking look appeared on Taisho Seijiro's face.

Xu Ming's expression gradually turned cold.

From his words, it's clear that the guy opposite is a selfish and ungrateful wretch.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time, the people behind us will be coming up soon."

The ingrate was about to leave after saying that.

Just then, a red-haired man appeared silently behind him.

puff!

With a sound of flesh being torn apart, blood gushed from his chest.

A hand pierced his body from behind and pulled out his heart.

Looking at his own heart pounding in front of him, Taisho Seijiro suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He raised his hand, as if to activate the 'Possessed by Evil' spell.

Just then, a hand reached out from behind him and snatched the 'Evil Spirit Possession' from his hand.

call!

A ball of crimson flame immediately erupted from the palm of that hand, instantly burning the black talisman to ashes.

The hand gripping his heart squeezed hard.

Fresh blood gushed out like water from a water gun.

"No!"

Taisho Seijiro let out his last shout, his head lolled to the side, and he stopped breathing.

His face was full of resentment and indignation.

Do not look down.

The person who attacked him was wearing a loose yukata, with a handsome face comparable to a big star, and a head of bright red hair as red as blood.

A perfect curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, with a hint of mockery on his face.

And who are you?

Xu Ming looked him up and down.

This person appeared without any warning.

What's strange is that he wasn't surrounded by any purple demonic energy.

You should know that every contestant has to kill monsters along the way to slowly reach this castle tower.

If he doesn't have some special means to avoid monsters, then he is... a monster.

Xu Ming frowned and carefully examined him.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through Xu Ming's mind, and he blurted it out.

"You are the true General Yantou!"

The red-haired man casually tossed Taisho Seijiro's corpse, along with his heart, aside, then unabashedly raised his blood-stained hand and slapped it hard.

“That’s right, I am the true master of Monster Mountain, General Yantou.”

Xu Ming's face immediately turned so gloomy it looked like it could be wrung out of water.
