Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Ooi Yushin instinctively applied the emergency brakes, leaving two black lines on the road from the tires.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Ooi Yushin had already clearly seen the true face of the white figure—it was a little girl.

Yuomi Ooi didn't know how to create the appearance of this little girl; in short, she had a bit of baby fat, but that wasn't anything special.

What's remarkable is that even though they were about to collide, the girl in white showed no sign of panic; instead, she raised her hand.

The next second, a strange purple light burst forth from the little girl's hand. The purple light flew past Ooi Yushin's left side like a sharp blade without making a sound.

The wind howled.

Yes, it's the wind.

It was only then that Ooi Yushin realized that his car had been cut in two by the purple light.

However, due to the suddenness of the incident, Yuomi Ooi could only watch helplessly as the other half of the car fell to one side.

Then, await the judgment of fate.

The remaining half of the car then overturned onto the nearby green belt, emitting thick black smoke.

"Cough, cough..." Ooi Yushin covered his nose as he walked out of the wreckage. Fortunately, he was wearing a seatbelt and was unharmed.

After exiting the wreckage, Ooi Yushin quickly rolled to the side and then became wary of his surroundings.

That was a female ghost, and she was probably extremely powerful, that's for sure.

However, Yuomi Ooi didn't think that the female ghost was Akane, after all, she was a major villain, how could she easily show herself?

Furthermore, since she is the Ghost King, she shouldn't be foolish enough to cause trouble in broad daylight; that would be just asking for trouble.

As Ooi Yushin thought this, he eventually spotted the female ghost above the nearby green belt, but she was too far away to see her true appearance clearly.

Ooi Yutomi shouted sternly, "Where did this ghost come from? How dare you cause trouble here in broad daylight?!"

While reprimanding his opponent, Ooi Yuomi conjured his divine weapon, the Totsuka Sword, and a great battle was about to break out.

He looked up, intending to gauge the size of the sun to decide whether to fight or flee.

Upon seeing this, Ooi Yushin's mind went into turmoil, because he discovered that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the sun was almost completely obscured.

"Oh no, how am I supposed to fight in this awful weather...?"

At that moment, Ooi Yuomi even considered running away.

Just then, the ghostly girl floating opposite him spoke: "Ooi Yuomi, the Fourth Divine Envoy, the wielder of the Totsuka Blade..."

These words startled Ooi Yutomi. He raised his longsword and demanded, "How did you obtain my information?"

However, the other party said: "There is nothing in this world that I do not know, unless someone is more powerful than me."

When the ghostly girl uttered those words, her identity became self-evident, and Ooi Yuomi immediately guessed: "So, you are 'Akane'?"

When these words were spoken, Ooi Yuomi finally saw through the mysterious veil of the ghostly girl; she was the very one who had suddenly fought him in the sewers that day.

Qian said expressionlessly, "Qian is just a code name. If you want to call me by another code name, that's fine too."

While they were talking, Ooi Yuomi glanced around at the surroundings and realized that it wasn't convenient to escape at the moment.

Without the sun's blessing, relying solely on his own strength, Ooi Yuomi had no confidence that he could outrun the Demon King Akane.

Unless you have a car.

But the car...

It's strange, there were so many cars just now, but now I can't see a single one.

To prevent Akane from discovering his thoughts, Ooi Yushin said, "So, I already let you go last time, what are you trying to do now? Don't forget it's broad daylight, you can't beat me."

In the last operation, Ooi Yutomi actually escaped in the chaos. His claim that he "let go" the other side this time was just a way of bolstering his courage.

However, Qian's face remained expressionless, and she instead said, "I'll take your life."

Ooi Yushin was taken aback, not expecting the other party to be so blunt. He still tried to remain calm and said, "...That's not good, is it? Even if you are the Demon King, you can't kill other people for no reason. If every ghost did that, the world would be in chaos."

Qian tilted her head and said calmly, "I have tasted all the flavors of the world—including ordinary humans, souls, and some birds and beasts, but I have found that these have not helped me improve my cultivation in a very limited way, so I want to find a divine messenger to try them out."

In the end, it turns out that Qian is a foodie. If you like eating so much, why don't you eat what comes out of your body?

Of course, the above was just what Ooi Yushin thought to himself. He said, "The divine messengers don't taste good, and their divine power will harm your ghost power. If you eat them, your cultivation will decrease instead of increase."

However, Qian grinned and said, "But I still want to give it a try."

Seeing Akane's determination, Ooi Yushin was speechless for a moment, unsure of what topic to bring up to continue the conversation.

Ooi Yushin is currently employing a delaying tactic, hoping to remain invincible once things return to normal.

Just when Ooi Yushin felt helpless, the Demon King Akane suddenly said, "If you don't want me to eat you, that's fine too, but you have to help me lure those two girls out of the Shinto Hall so I can eat them."

Without a second thought, Ooi Yutomi agreed immediately: "Sure, I'll go and lure them out right now, how about it?"

Agreeing is one thing, but whether or not that was actually done later is another matter entirely.

For Yuomi Ooi, if he could save his life by telling a lie, that would be fantastic.

I'll agree to it for now. Whether I help lure Shimizu Suzune and Ishikawa Risa later is another matter.

Akane was somewhat surprised by Ooi Yuomi's shamelessness: "You agreed so readily?"

Then he added, "But how can I trust you?"

Seeing that Akane was somewhat suspicious, Ooi Yutomi intensified his offensive: "You can trust me. Let me go, and then you'll get two more delicious divine messengers. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

However, Qian is a very suspicious person. She said, "But I still think you can't trust me."

Upon hearing this, Ooi Yutomi brazenly said, "You can completely trust me. Look, we've only just met, we don't know each other at all. You should trust me, and truly believe in me, so that we can have cooperation and a future."

Akane seemed to believe her, so she added, "I also need another girl, her name is Fujita Mino, you need to trick all three of them into coming out."

Without hesitation, Ooi Yutomi replied, "No problem. I'll go back to the Shinto Hall now, then invite them for drinks and get them drunk so you can make your move."

As he finished speaking, Ooi Yuomi began to slowly back away, preparing to take this opportunity to escape.

"Please wait a moment."

Suddenly, Akane called out to Ooi Yutomi, who was about to turn and run away, "I still can't trust you unless you carry this treasure with you."

"Oh no..." Ooi Yushin cursed inwardly. Now he could only turn around and see what Akane wanted him to carry with him.

That turn of the head was quite something.

What Qian held in her hands was not a treasure, but a filthy object—a jade bracelet stained with blood.

Qian explained, "Keep this with you. I will use it to send you a message to the designated location."

So, what do we do now? As a divine messenger, Ooi Yuomi absolutely cannot accept such blood-stained items; touching them would be blasphemy against the gods and divine power.

Indeed, in Japan, gods and shrines do not want to see even a trace of blood, let alone such filth.

"What? You're afraid to bring it?" Seeing that Ooi Yutomi hesitated, Akane's face turned gloomy.

Ooi Yutomi shook his head and said, "Carrying this with me would be blasphemous to the gods and divine power. I cannot accept it."

Akane scoffed at Ooi Yutaka's air of superiority: "Ha, still pretending? From the moment you planned to betray your comrades, you already blasphemed your so-called gods. What holiness do you have left? Now you want to back out?"

Ooi Yushin subconsciously shook his head: "It really won't work. Let me think about it."

This time, they've met their match; Ghost King Qian is indeed not easily fooled.

How can this be good?

Ooi Yushin looked up at the sky again and found that most of the dark clouds that had previously covered the sky had been blown away. Although the place where he was standing was still blocked by dark clouds and therefore not exposed to the sun, the warm sunlight was now shining through all around him.

With the sunlight, Ooi Yushin became more assertive, and he could even stand up straight and face Akane.

Qian seemed a little angry: "Are you going to accept it or not? I'll only count to three."

"three!"

"two!"

"one."

The numbers three and two were both said by Akane herself, but the number one was something that Yuomi Ooi deliberately picked up on.

Ooi Yushin's intention was quite clear: he wanted to maintain his purity until his death.

Qian stared at him expressionlessly: "It seems you've never suffered before."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian put the blood-stained bracelet on her wrist, and then with a whoosh, she disappeared from the spot!

Upon seeing this, Ooi Yutomi immediately grabbed the Totsuka Sword and swiftly thrust it in the direction where Akane had originally been!

The reason he lunged forward was not because he knew Qian was hiding there; he didn't know where Qian was hiding. He lunged forward because there was sunlight not far ahead.

As long as I bask in the sunlight, everything will be alright. With these thoughts in mind, Ooi Yushin flew into the sunlight.

However, the sunlight seemed strange; it didn't feel as intense as usual, giving off a hazy feeling.

Could it be that Qian is behind this?

Isn't she just a ghost? How can she have such great power that she can even influence the sun?

impossible.

That's absolutely impossible!

How could a mere ghost king possibly affect the sun? If she were truly that powerful, she wouldn't even need to consider the divine messenger, the supreme god. Therefore, the conclusion was flawed from the start!

But it wasn't a big problem. Whether it was a bright sun or a small sun, as long as there was sunshine, it was fine. Ooi Yushin felt as if he had been reborn, and his body felt exceptionally comfortable: "Phew, that feels much better..."

Chapter 174 Defeat

Now, Ooi Yushin is standing in the sunlight, theoretically invincible.

So, does the Demon King Akane still have any feelings for him? With this question in mind, Ooi Yuomi began searching everywhere for Akane's whereabouts, in case she was attacked.

Just as Ooi Yushin had predicted, the Demon King Akane was hiding under an inconspicuous tree in a place where the sun couldn't reach, watching them intently.

The two sides are currently about ten meters apart, and the Totsuka Sword held by Ooi Yushin can easily attack the enemy.

We did it right away.

Under the sunlight, Ooi Yutomi held the Totsuka Sword in his right hand, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and replenished his depleted divine power from the blazing sun.

Then, Ooi Yutomi thrust forward with the Totsuka Sword, but his body did not move; only the sword light moved.
