Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the crowd immediately swarmed forward.

Soon, accompanied by a scream, the woman in white was instantly reduced to ashes, and the small shed of the water supply shop was also demolished.

As the woman in white disappeared, the water in the pool dried up instantly.

Xu Ming waved his hand, and a group of shikigami immediately followed behind him, marching in a grand procession toward the worship hall.

Just by looking at his aura, someone who didn't know better would think he was some kind of yakuza boss traveling around.

The group bypassed the donation box and entered the worship hall directly through the main gate.

A piercing scraping sound immediately came from the dark worship hall.

Xu Ming turned on his phone's light and discovered that the worship hall was filled with various stone carvings.

As they entered the worship hall, the stone sculpture seemed to be awakened from its slumber, slowly approaching the crowd with heavy steps.

Xu Ming took out his phone and snapped a picture!

The purple-gold light instantly illuminated the entire worship hall.

All the stone sculptures seemed to have been punched hard by an invisible fist, immediately tilting to one side and falling to the side, with numerous cracks appearing on their bodies.

"Attack! Kill them!"

Xu Ming waved his hand.

The group immediately launched an attack.

After Xu Ming weakened the stone sculpture with his mobile phone, its solid outer shell became as thin as paper.

Erina fired a fireball, and the explosion immediately shattered the three stone sculptures.

Immediately afterwards, Asagami Fujino's eyes widened and she unleashed a twisting power.

The intertwining of red and green light instantly drew in the nearby stone sculptures like a mini black hole, twisting them into fragments.

Haruyuki Arita, wielding a laser sword, rushed forward and sliced ​​the stone sculpture closest to the group in half.

Almost instantly, more than a dozen stone sculptures inside the main hall were destroyed by the crowd.

After leaving behind a ground littered with rubble, Xu Ming led his men away.

After passing through the worship hall, the group arrived at the main hall's gate.

Xu Ming didn't have many reservations and directly led his shikigami across the shimenawa rope and into the main hall.

The first thing you see is a huge statue, which looks like a goddess, but the head of the statue is missing and the neck is bald.

"Stranger, this is not a place for you. Leave!"

As Xu Ming was surveying the scene in the main hall, an old woman dressed in a black priestess's robe suddenly emerged from the shadows.

Xu Ming immediately activated his spiritual vision to observe the old woman who had suddenly appeared.

He immediately saw a massive amount of black resentment enveloping the old witch's entire body.

It's obvious at a glance that this old witch isn't human!

"Prepare for battle!"

At Xu Ming's command, the shikigami immediately launched an attack.

The fireball, imbued with twisting power, hurtled towards the old witch.

Chapter 370 Slaying the Wraith

"Hmph! You're courting death!"

The old witch slammed her bronze staff hard on the floor.

Boom!

A large amount of black resentment instantly enveloped her entire body.

When the resentment dissipated, her appearance had changed drastically. Her skin was bluish-purple, her eyes emitted a scarlet blood light, her hair was disheveled, and especially her fingernails, which were sharp and pointed, with a length of more than ten centimeters. She was also wearing a tattered black bathrobe.

The terrifying vengeful spirit shrouded in black mist suddenly surged in power.

"Attack together!"

Xu Ming dared not be careless and quickly called on the crowd to gang up on him.

Erina has now changed to a purple-haired form.

Incidentally, because Xu Ming resolved the abandoned research institute incident, the system rewarded him with an extra Thunder Crystal, which Xu Ming immediately had Erina absorb.

This significantly improved Erina's three elemental attributes: ice, fire, and lightning, even showing signs of reaching level 5.

Erina clasped her hands together and pulled them outwards sharply.

A thick bolt of lightning instantly formed between her palms, crackling and popping continuously.

Then she raised her right hand high, leaned her slender waist slightly backward, and made a javelin-throwing motion, forcefully throwing the lightning spear at the vengeful spirit.

Stab it!

The lightning spear tore through the air, making a piercing noise in mid-air, and struck the vengeful spirit in the blink of an eye.

Ah!

Dazzling lightning danced across the vengeful spirit.

A chilling, masculine force clashed with the vengeful spirit, like pouring cold water into hot oil.

The vengeful spirit let out a series of screams.

After a while, the lightning dissipated, and a lot of blue smoke rose from the vengeful spirit, as if it had been charred.

Before the vengeful spirit could recover, Asagami Fujino glared, and an invisible, twisting power shot out from her eyes, instantly enveloping the vengeful spirit's entire body.

ah!!

The vengeful spirit let out another shrill scream.

Half of her body was twisted into pieces.

At this moment, Silver Crow transformed his palm into a laser sword and charged forward.

The vengeful spirit suddenly opened its mouth, and a piercing shriek, accompanied by an invisible shockwave and black negative energy, surged towards the crowd like a tsunami.

Xu Ming immediately raised his phone, pointed it forward, and pressed the shutter button.

The purple-gold light of magic destruction collided violently with the black negative energy in an instant.

The battle was quickly decided, with the purple-gold color overwhelmingly engulfing the black color.

The vengeful spirit screamed in agony, and numerous cracks appeared on its body.

At that moment, Silver Raven rushed forward, raised its laser sword, and slashed directly at the neck of the vengeful spirit.

The highly compressed energy sliced ​​the vengeful spirit in two diagonally.

With a desperate scream, the vengeful spirit quickly turned to ashes.

After the vengeful spirit was destroyed, the group continued forward and discovered a huge empty room behind the main hall.

"What is this!?"

Xu Ming immediately spotted the red ribbon that had fallen onto the tatami mat.

Compared to dusty tatami mats, tattered cushions, and broken screens, which are obviously quite old.

The ribbon's color was too bright and seemed out of place with the surroundings.

Xu Ming quickly picked up the ribbon from the ground and examined it in his hand.

He soon discovered that the ribbon seemed to have been tied around Yukino Yukinoshita's collar, but whether it was true or not, he needed to ask his older sister Haruno to confirm.

After searching the main hall, Xu Ming led his men to the side office.

After casually eliminating the vengeful spirit that had hanged itself in the living room, Xu Ming also noticed the strange painting hanging on the living room wall.

Xu Ming instinctively sensed that this strange painting might be an important clue.

He quickly told Haruyuki Arita to take the painting down from the wall and put it away.

The group searched the office but still couldn't find any trace of Yukino Yukinoshita.

Xu Ming looked at the red ribbon in his hand. He was now 80 or 90 percent certain that Yukino Yukinoshita had disappeared, or rather... vanished into thin air.

After Xu Ming left the shrine, he went down the mountain and showed the red ribbon to Yukinoshita Haruno.

Yukinoshita immediately snatched the ribbon away.

"That's right! This is Yukino Ribbon!"

Xu Ming asked with some curiosity:

Why are you so sure?

Yukino pointed to the corner of the ribbon, where a small, inconspicuous character was sewn in with blue thread.

"There's a 'snow' character sewn on this, and I sewed it for Yukino."

Yukino looked at the small character and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with a glimmer of hope and a hint of pleading.

"Yukino, she..."

Xu Ming shook his head.

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Haruno. This is all we found..."

Yukino's face turned deathly pale in an instant. She stumbled back a step, her back slamming heavily against the car door with a thud.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Yukino took a deep breath, her expression gradually returning to calm, her eyes filled with determination.

She slowly bent down and bowed to Xu Ming.

"My mother wishes to see you. Please do me the honor of meeting you. I beg you!"

"it is good."

Xu Ming nodded.
