Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

After countless rounds of "top-tier lung-cleansing," Kitamura Eri's belly swelled up, and now she looked like a giant balloon. She could only slump down under a roadside tree, complaining, "I'm so full, I feel uncomfortable, I can't move..."

But it must be said that such a small action has already increased Kitamura Eri's cultivation level by several levels.

In terms of ghostly power, she is actually not much worse than those elite ghosts.

The so-called "elite ghosts" naturally refer to ghosts like Kikuko Yamamura and the Kuchisake-onna.

Of course, Kitamura Eri doesn't understand any of this, nor does she know any elite ghost spirits. All she needs to know is that she is now incredibly powerful!

Because she has become stronger, Kitamura Eri now discovers that quite a few priests and police inspectors are approaching, attempting to kill her.

Furthermore, Kitamura Eri knew that these people's original purpose was simply to kill the Great Ghost Akane, but Kitamura Eri was now standing here in her place, so unfortunately they mistook her for the Great Ghost Akane.

To be honest, if it weren't for Fujita Mino's sake, Kitamura Eri might have actually challenged these people to a test of her improved strength.

The problem is that after Kitamura Eri takes Fujita Mino as her master, she has to be a "righteous" spirit, and cannot attack ordinary people, much less oppose the divine messengers.

Just as Kitamura Eri was about to leave, she noticed that a powerful divine messenger had suddenly taken notice of her.

It's a man.

And they set their sights on her.

No matter how Kitamura Eri tried to dodge, her opponent's gaze kept tracking her, making it seem like she would have a hard time escaping his sight without a fierce battle.

Let it be a fierce battle.

Kitamura Eri was not afraid of battle.

In any case, Kitamura Eri will show mercy and will definitely not kill the divine messenger.

Kitamura Eri glanced around and spotted a sewer entrance nearby, so she quickly jumped in.

Once inside, Kitamura Eri went straight into the sewers, hoping to shake off the pursuing divine messenger.

But it seems that this plan is not working. Kitamura Eri had barely run a few steps after entering the sewer when someone else rushed into the sewer right behind her.

Kitamura Eri was slightly surprised. She hadn't expected the other party to act so quickly, let alone to relentlessly pursue her.

And it wasn't just one person.

Behind the other party were four or five people who looked weaker. They were now driving a police car and parked nearby.

Unable to ascertain the opponent's exact combat strength, Kitamura Eri could only begin a long run through the sewers.

She hadn't run more than a few steps when a male voice came from behind: "Stop!"

No way, are all the divine messengers this arrogant these days? Kitamura Eri may be a ghost, but she hasn't done anything wrong, yet she's now being hunted down by the divine messengers.

Kitamura Eri was a little angry, but she decided to run away as fast as she could in the sewers, trying to shake off the man.

But the man quickened his pace, even taking flight, as if he was determined to catch Kitamura Eri no matter what.

It should be noted that they are currently in the sewers, a place with little sunlight, so Kitamura Eri actually has an advantage on this battlefield.

As Kitamura Eri ran, she turned her head to look behind her and saw that the male god was already flying towards her with a long sword in his hand.

three meters.

Two meters.

one meter!

Just as he approached, the divine messenger named Ooi Yushin raised his longsword and thrust it towards the ghostly girl's face, roaring, "Demon, take this!"

Kitamura Eri was caught off guard by the attack, but since her opponent had already made a move, she had no choice but to respond.

Kitamura Eri suddenly turned around, and with her right foot she shoved behind her to stop her momentum as she made her move.

She conjured a ball of light, purely formed from demonic power, in front of her chest, and used it to absorb the enemy's longsword.

Ooi Yushin never expected that his longsword could be attracted; it seemed he had met his match today.

Normally, if it were any other weak ghost, it would be finished off with a single sword strike.

Thus, Ooi Yushin's attacks failed to hit Kitamura Eri, while Kitamura Eri focused solely on defense. The two remained locked in a stalemate, with time ticking by and both their stamina gradually dwindling.

Soon, Ooi Yushin realized that fighting in the sewers was very disadvantageous for him. It was a place with heavy yin energy, and his divine power could not be replenished, while the enemy ghosts were fighting on their home turf with a continuous supply of ghost power.

We must act swiftly and decisively.

Or escape from this.

Thinking this, Ooi Yutomi immediately withdrew his sword, and Kitamura Eri released the energy ball in her hand upon seeing this.

That energy ball wasn't made from her ghostly power, but from the yin energy that permeated the surroundings.

Kitamura Eri had a vague sense of unease; the gloom here was heavier than anywhere else.

Perhaps some other ghost or spirit just passed by here, or is hiding in the shadows, but Kitamura Eri is unaware of it.

It's worth noting that the presence of other ghosts here might not be a good thing for Eri Kitamura.

As I said before, there is a rule of big fish eating small fish among ghosts, and the threat from other ghosts is no less than that of the divine messenger in front of us.

So now it's Kitamura Eri's turn. She's very worried about being attacked from both sides and doesn't want to get entangled with this divine messenger.

However, since she is a ghost, she cannot directly communicate with the divine messenger, as communication would be ineffective; no hunter would communicate with their prey.

After his attack on Kitamura Eri was nullified, Ooi Yuomi, who had never suffered such humiliation, was filled with resentment and once again gathered his divine power to thrust at the ghostly girl.

This time, Kitamura Eri still chose to defend rather than attack. She made her body ghost-like and jumped onto the wall.

Seeing this, Ooi Yushin raised his sword and thrust forward, but the ghostly girl dodged the attack at a tricky angle.

Then, the ghostly girl flowed like a puddle of liquid across the sewer floor, trying to escape.

"Want to run?"

Ooi Yuji snorted coldly and flew up in the sewer, brandishing his longsword and thrusting it repeatedly at the flowing liquid.

This longsword is a divine artifact, imbued with immense divine power, so even when Kitamura Eri transformed into a liquid form, she was still unable to defend against its attacks.

After fleeing for dozens of meters, Kitamura Eri finally couldn't hold on any longer, so she deactivated her liquid form and got up from the ground.

At this moment, her petite body had more than a dozen bloody holes, all of which were stabbed by Ooi Yushin with a longsword when she was in liquid form.

Due to repeated attacks and the lack of timely replenishment of her demonic energy, Kitamura Eri unexpectedly felt somewhat fatigued.

She collapsed to the ground.

I was at a loss for what to do for a while.

I never thought of retaliating.

When Ooi Yushin, who was flying behind, saw the bloody hole in Kitamura Eri's body, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

We're going to win.

Just as Ooi Yushin leaped up, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Kitamura Eri, a pair of fair hands suddenly appeared from behind Kitamura Eri, dragging her backward.

"W-what?!"

After the attack missed, Ooi Yushin's pupils trembled violently. He hadn't expected the ghostly girl to have the ability to escape; she had just been on the verge of death!

Ooi Yuomi looked up and realized that Kitamura Eri hadn't run away on her own; she had been dragged away by a new ghostly girl.

The ghostly girl was a face I had never seen before. She wore a white dress and stood out conspicuously in the dim sewer.

However, unlike when he looked at Kitamura Eri, Ooi Yuomi couldn't see the new ghost girl's strength at all.

It is precisely because he cannot see through things that Ooi Yushin feels afraid; everyone is afraid of the unknown.

"Who is it?!" Ooi Yuji couldn't help but exclaim, as he turned around to look.

Logically speaking, his colleagues should have arrived long ago, so why is there no sound from behind?

But the ghostly girl in the white dress said, "They won't come back."

Ooi Yutomi suddenly raised his head: "Human language? You can speak human language?!"

The ghostly girl in the white dress is named Akane.

Akane took a step forward and said to Ooi Yuujin in a low voice, "Not only can I speak human language, but she can too. She just doesn't want to start a war with you. You don't really think you're stronger than her, do you?"

When Akane started speaking, Kitamura Eri realized that she had been dragged back by someone to avoid being harmed.

She looked up, trying to see who her savior was, but unexpectedly, she saw a powerful ghost.

As mentioned earlier, ghosts are actually very afraid of ghosts that are much stronger than themselves, because that means the big fish eats the small fish.

Therefore, Kitamura Eri is now more afraid of this new ghost than Ooi Yuomi, fearing that she will eat her.

However, to Kitamura Eri's surprise, the other party didn't seem to intend to eat her now, but instead left her aside.

"What kind of ghost are you?!"

This sentence wasn't shouted by Eri Kitamura, but by Yuomi Ooi in a hysterical outburst.

“You’re about to die, so it won’t hurt to tell you…” Akane casually shifted her gaze from Ooi Yushin to Kitamura Eri, and still gave the answer: “My name is Akane.”

Upon hearing this, Kitamura Eri's slender figure trembled slightly. Although she didn't know who "Akane" was, she felt that the name was very weighty and powerful.

Faced with Akane's threat, Ooi Yuomi directly threatened, "If you dare to kill me, my god will never let you off."

Meanwhile, he was searching for an exit; theoretically, if he could manage to climb out of the sewer, he could escape.

At that time, he will have a continuous supply of divine power to replenish his body and heal his wounds, making him theoretically extremely difficult to kill by ghosts.

Chapter 168 Collision

Right across from Yuomi Ooi, the ghostly girl Akane in a white dress noticed him observing his surroundings, but due to the limited knowledge of ghosts, she couldn't understand what this man was thinking.

However, Akane didn't intend to waste any more words with him. She planned to kill him so that she could establish herself as a "strongman" in Kitamura Eri's eyes.

Yes, Akane's reason for helping Kitamura Eri was not to devour her to increase her own strength; there was no need to do so.

Akane is now stronger than the Demon King who appeared before, but she has not been able to absorb all of his power.

Therefore, in Akane's opinion, instead of accumulating more demonic power that requires time to absorb, it would be better to start forming alliances now, and Kitamura Eri, who was being bullied by the divine messenger, was that target.

The hunt has begun.

Victory or defeat can be decided in an instant.

Just as Akane raised her hand, before she could make a move, Ooi Yuomi brandished his longsword and charged at her.
