Inner Destroyer

　The voice that came from nowhere and was only audible to Rin and Retsujin continued,

　"The Goddess Reizuma (れつま)—no, the Peacock Goddess Reizuma (れま)!"

　"Defeat the Black God's Miko!"

　What a celestial being!

　With this attire, she doesn't look like a "celestial maiden" at all. She looks more like the daughter of Mara, a lustful demon!

　As soon as she finished speaking, a lovely jade pipa appeared in Lingzhen's hands. She tilted her head slightly, a mysterious smile curling her lips, and with a frivolous grace, she began to play the pipa.

　The fingertips pluck the strings, and the sound is melodious and ethereal, like the Buddhist music echoing in an ancient temple, or the enchanting ghostly sound under the charming night.

　In an instant, Lin sensed danger from the music!

　"Zheng——"

　It's too late, it's faster than that!

　As the strings vibrated, the pipa's melodious music transformed into translucent emerald green weapons. There were swords, arrows, and countless phantoms of ancient Buddhist instruments—vajra, trident, demon-subduing staff... As Reijin's fingertips plucked the strings, these weapons suddenly shot towards Lin!

　Lin frowned, exerting force on her feet. She shot up like a rocket, dodging the hundreds of sharp sonic blades that were coming her way. Her right hand ignited a fiery red flame, and with a single strike, she deflected the sonic waves directed her way.

　But in an instant, the pipa melody changed, like a smile, like a whisper, soft and gentle, alluring and captivating. Lingzhen smiled slightly, and all ten fingers moved in unison, the sound waves vibrating, like a heavy rain pouring down.

　"Tsk!"

　Rin clicked his tongue softly, realizing he had fallen into the enemy's rhythm.

　She could certainly handle the attacks.

　But the real crisis will fall on the passers-by around!

　I saw pedestrians on the street who were swept by the aftermath of the sound waves——

　An office worker in a suit stopped in his tracks, his face suddenly flushed red, and he looked at a strange woman beside him with a dazed look, a strange and silly smile on his lips.

　A housewife carrying shopping bags, at least in her forties or fifties, suddenly covered her chest, her legs went limp, and she collapsed to the ground. Her cheeks flushed like a young girl, and she even subconsciously looked at a strange man passing by, her eyes revealing an unprecedented desire.

　Desire is burning.

　People who are hit by the sound waves of the pipa seem to fall into burning desire, and their rationality is burned out in an instant!

　Lin immediately made a judgment. With a flick of her arm, her six wings suddenly spread out, and a blazing red flame instantly rose up. Her momentum instantly increased, as if she was about to launch a large-scale incineration -

　But she didn't do it after all.

　She can't do this.

　If she struck again at this moment, the people around her would be completely exposed to the full force of the battle. Some might even be engulfed in her flames!

　Having said that, if she just left it alone, then the passers-by around her would start doing unspeakable things to each other on the street!

　Flames erupted as she dashed through the streets at lightning speed. Every time she passed a pedestrian affected by desire, she would use her ultimate control to precisely punch them unconscious!

　no way.

　Although Lin's four-color alchemical fire seemed very useful, it was actually very limited. She couldn't use black fire to precisely burn away desire without hurting anyone.

　She quickly circled the street and knocked out all the passersby around her. But being knocked unconscious also meant that these people could no longer escape.

　The demon enchantress covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, her fingertips plucked the pipa again, like a gentle and graceful whisper in the boudoir. Instantly, the gentle melody transformed into a murderous weapon in the air.

　Swords, spears, and halberds, like jade, crisscrossed and spun in the air, rushing straight towards Phyllis! Not only that, but they also wanted to chop off the heads of the unconscious passersby around them!

　Lin's eyes darkened, and his figure flashed across the battlefield, so fast that only his afterimage could be seen.

　She reached out and grabbed

216

　A fallen office worker was thrown into the shop behind him before the knife and gun fell. Immediately, he hooked the body of a housewife with his other foot and kicked her out of the attack range.

　A transparent jade spear flew through the air, piercing Lin's back. However, she simply turned her body slightly, flipped her wrist, and ignited black flames at the tips of her fingers. With extreme precision, she deflected the spear, causing it to shatter in mid-air.

　Lingzhen's eyebrows curved, as if she was even more delighted by the scene. With a light tap of her jade fingers, the pipa plucked again, and dozens of weapons appeared from thin air, slashing down with emerald light, blocking Lin's path. A three-clawed vajra materialized from mid-air and brought down with unstoppable force.

　Lin clicked his tongue, stirred up the black flames, and was about to attack, but at this moment——

　A sudden flash of light!

　Golden light!

　Without warning, it struck from the darkness, like divine punishment raining down from the sun. Rin didn't even have time to react before the golden light pierced through her, the searing pain instantly ripping through her nerves!

　"Uh……"

　In a split second, she raised her hand with all her might to wave the black flames to protect herself, but she still couldn't completely prevent the sneak attack. The golden light bombarded her mercilessly, and she felt a sharp pain in her right arm. The next second, the smell of burning was already in her nose -

　Her right arm and side were pierced by the beam!

　The fabric was reduced to charred fragments, the aftermath of the scorching heat still burning the wound. Blood flowed through the pierced wound, staining her school uniform red. Severe pain spread from deep within the torn flesh, the nerves aching like sunburned skin, even her breathing was stagnant.

　From the shadows of a distant alley, the white-haired shrine maiden Ise slowly stepped out, clutching the bronze mirror that reflected the sunlight in her arms. A slight smile crossed her lips. "My apologies, Miss Jingo, but today's challenge isn't one-on-one."

　The aftermath of the sunlight and flames slowly dissipated under her smile, as if mocking Lin's moment of unpreparedness.

　After all, her vigilance is just like her age, a little lacking.

　But this is not completely without reason.

　Lin glanced down at her charred wound. Blood continued to flow, staining her clothes red. But she simply took a deep breath. Immediately, pure white flames quietly ignited within her.

　The gentle yet blazing flames seemed to flow gently through the air, slowly spreading along the wound. It was as if an invisible divine hand caressed the flesh torn apart by the intense light. The intense pain instantly vanished, the charred skin quickly healed, and the piercing wound closed and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the blood was gone, as if she had never been injured.

　Even Ise couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he saw this scene, and a hint of surprise flashed in his golden eyes.

　Phosphorus's four-colored flames are indeed a cheating-level power.

　Many demons and monsters in this world, especially those at the level of fierce demons, possess abilities that guarantee certain death upon first encounter. Even a top-tier exorcist, if not prepared beforehand, can easily die before unleashing their full potential.

　However, Rin's power was a panacea for these demons. Even if one was lucky enough to kill her, she would burst into flames the next moment, then resurrect like a phoenix, as if nothing had happened.

　If she had to point out a weakness, it would be that as a mortal being, her mental strength was still limited.

　Therefore, the white-haired witch's surprise only lasted for a moment.

　She quickly regained her previous composure, gently clutching the bronze mirror in her arms. Her tone was steady and confident, "No power is perfect. If I continue to damage your brain, you probably won't be able to do anything other than regenerate."

　After saying that, she waved to Tennō Reijin, telling her to chop off Rin's head as soon as possible.

　The air practically froze at that moment. Ise had clearly secured victory.

　Rin took a deep breath, looked up, and fixed his gaze on Ise.

　She didn't yell, didn't curse, didn't even reveal a trace of unnecessary emotion. She was only calm and indifferent to a terrifying level, as if she was looking at a dead person.

　"I am going to kill you."

　Oh? Really?

　Ise knew all of Kamigo Rin's battle records, and Rin had never killed even a single human.

　As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Lin's fingers had already reached down and dug into the ground.

　The ground shook suddenly.

　At first it was a slight tremor, like a sleeping giant beast turning over, but in an instant, the tremor became violent - not only the streets, but even the entire ground of Aomori City began to tremble.

　The ground beneath Lin's feet, where her fingers dug into it, had already cracked into a narrow fissure. Hellfire was seething out, breathing out the scent of sulfur.

　In this crack, beneath the earth, it seemed as if something was rapidly rising and was about to fall into Lin's hands.

　It appeared to be a sword.

　Ise's golden pupils suddenly shrank.

　She wasn't stupid enough to just stand there and watch Kamigorin come up with new tricks!

　Without hesitation, she turned her hands over, and the golden light of the bronze mirror in her hand suddenly surged. The hot divine power condensed into a beam on the mirror surface, and the sunlight and flames were about to be emitted!

　She must not let Rin complete this action!

　However, just as the light was about to burst out——

　Ding

　Suddenly, they all heard a sound.

　A light sound, as crisp as a silver coin falling to the ground, and as illusory as the bursting of bubbles.

　The next moment, a fist smashed into Ise's face!

　boom! ! !

　The air exploded, and the deafening sonic boom shattered the silence. The golden divine light collapsed instantly, and the solar flames that had not yet been launched were forcibly shattered, turning into countless broken light spots that splashed in all directions.

　The white-haired witch didn't even have time to scream.

217

　The man was shot out like a cannonball!

　boom! !

　The next second, she crashed straight through the glass of the bus stop, instantly sending shards flying all over the sky. Broken billboards rolled in the sky, metal supports creaked and twisted, and the entire platform collapsed in an instant!

　BANG BANG BANG!!! BOOM!!!

　It was not enough to hit the station. Loud noises erupted one after another. Ise rolled all the way under the impact and finally slammed into a garbage truck on the side of the road. The entire body of the truck shook violently and the shrill alarm wailed.

　Qi Xing has arrived.

　He put one hand in his pocket and casually swung the other hand around as if he was just throwing away some trash.

　"Sorry, my hand slipped."

　He squinted his eyes and grinned, revealing his white teeth.

　"Am I early, Miss Jingo?"

　080: Amazing Thunder Man (Part 1)

　The roar has not yet dissipated, and the distorted metal echoes continue to vibrate in the air.

　A startling dent was smashed into the side of the garbage truck, and garbage mixed with rotten fruit peels, broken packaging bags and unknown liquids was scattered everywhere, making the place a mess.

　However, the pile of foul-smelling waste soon began to stir—

　"Uh... uh..."

　The white-haired shrine maiden, Ise, slowly climbed halfway out of the carriage, her hands clinging to the edge of the carriage, her fingertips white from the strain. Her face was stained with dirt and debris, and her elegant shrine maiden uniform was stained with grime, completely shattering her usual dignified demeanor.

　But nothing can compare to her miserable face.

　Qi Xing's punch had already broken her nose. Blood flowed straight down from her nostrils, making her look extremely miserable.

　After removing the "illusion" power, Qi Xing's identity can be recognized by others.

　So the white-haired priestess's reaction at this time was also understandable.

　""Rip Zhenren"?!"

　Her golden pupils were filled with shock, anger, and uncontrollable humiliation.

　“Why is Raipu Jinran in Japan now?!”

　When has she ever been treated like this?!

　Even when fighting against high-ranking psychics, or even the heads of families with hundreds of years of experience in exorcising demons, she had never been punched into a garbage dump like she was now, without even a chance to resist!

　Having said that, Qi Xing was actually a little surprised.

　He didn't use his full strength in this punch—as mentioned before, rushing to unleash all-out power at the start of a magical battle is a mistake only beginners make. Qi Xing usually only uses 50% to 70% of his strength in his first punch into battle. This doesn't even include the silver coins.

　But Qi Xing didn't hold back when he punched him.

　However, the white-haired shrine maiden Ise, after being hit by Qi Xing's punch with 60% of his normal strength, only suffered a broken bone and was not directly hit in the head... This shows that her skills are indeed not bad.

　(Surprisingly, she's a bit stronger than Amos, stronger than most magical girls, and even tougher than I originally thought.)

　Qi Xing pondered, estimated the feel of his own hand, and couldn't help but grin.

　This white-haired witch looks to be only in her teens or twenties, at least her body should be that age.
