I Am a Heroic Spirit

"Crack!"

The sound of trees being stepped on was heard, and the crisp sound was particularly clear in the quiet mountain forest.

A man walked quickly along the small path beside the Kamigamo River, heading towards Kamigamo Shrine.

There were about twenty people in this group, all dressed as Onmyoji. Among them were middle-aged people, young people, and a handsome boy about twelve or thirteen years old, who was younger than Kagura.

[Hmph, what a hassle, even bringing this devil with me.]

"That bastard should just stay home and be quiet. What on earth is the master of the house thinking?"

[This time, I've subdued the monster transformed from the thousand-year-old cypress that caused trouble. I'm sure the adults will give me more rewards.]

[Even the thousand-year-old ancient cypress isn't so easy to deal with, and this magazine is even trying to cause trouble. The head of the family actually allowed it. Even if this bastard has good talent, a genius is no longer a genius when he dies.]

"It would be great if that bastard died in this demon exorcism. He's a big monster, so it's normal for a few Onmyoji to die, especially since he's only been learning Onmyoji for less than three years."

"I hope that nasty bastard gets killed by a monster. That monster is a big one, so even if that bastard gets killed, the head of the family won't say anything."

Listening to the malicious voices and facing the contemptuous looks of the crowd, the boy of twelve or thirteen lowered his head and showed a sarcastic smile.

Arrogant, dirty, and incompetent, this is human beings.

"We're almost there. According to the address Sugawara-sama gave, the monster transformed from the thousand-year-old cypress is on the mountain ahead."

Next to Kamigamo Shrine, a group of Onmyoji stopped and the leading Onmyoji spoke seriously.

They came here on the orders of Lord Sugawara, because Lord Sugawara was teased by a monster here, and in anger he wanted to find an onmyoji to kill the monster.

Because Kamo Tadayuki closed his door to visitors and Abe Haruaki lost his memory, it was unknown how much strength he still had. If he informed the Onmyoji Bureau of the imperial court, other nobles would know about it, which would be very embarrassing. Therefore, Lord Sugawara found the Onmyoji family they belonged to and issued a commission.

During the day, the family sent an Onmyoji to investigate here. They discovered the ancient cypress tree that was more than a thousand years old, and the evil spirit on the ancient cypress. The Onmyoji who came to investigate believed that the ancient cypress had developed intelligence and was unwilling to be cut down, so it did such a disruptive thing.

Because no one had ever died because of the ancient cypress, the head of the family concluded after learning the news that the ancient cypress had only recently developed intelligence, and was not contaminated by any resentment, and did not have a strong murderous nature, and could not even use half of its thousand years of cultivation.

The leading Yin-Yang master was related to the head of the family. He was the first to learn about this and immediately took the task from the head of the family.

His intuition told him that this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to obtain a great monster-level Shikigami.

Thousands of years of cultivation symbolize that this ancient cypress monster is already a big monster. It has a newborn intelligence and can only make trouble but has no murderous intent. This means that this big monster is much easier to subdue than other big monsters. Even if he is alone, with enough talismans, he can subdue it and refine it into his own Shikigami.

It was only to prevent any accidents that he asked the head of the family to bring other clansmen along.

It’s a pity that this damn bastard also wanted to come along, and the head of the family actually agreed, saying that he wanted him to gain some experience.

Thinking of this, the Onmyoji cast a malicious look at the boy.

The young man still kept his head down and said nothing, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

Stupid, greedy and incompetent guy, does he think that everything will be as smooth as he imagined?

"Are you ready? Even though it might not be a murderous demon, big monsters are not that easy to deal with. If they really become a burden and get killed, you can't blame me."

As the Onmyoji leader said this, all the Onmyoji looked at the young man with a sneer. They knew that the leader's words were directed at this son of a demon.

"If you are scared, leave quickly. Don't become a burden when you get here. We don't have the energy to take care of you." A middle-aged Yin-Yang master said to the young man, his eyes full of disgust, ridicule, and jealousy.

With a status worse than even that of a pariah, he easily became a child of the main family and was even praised by the head of the family as the Onmyoji most likely to surpass Kamo Tadayuki when he grows up. How could a middle-aged Onmyoji over forty, who didn't even have a high-level Shikigami, not be jealous of such a thing?

"Don't worry, I will stay away and won't cause any trouble for you."

I will take action after you are dead.

The young man said this without changing his expression, sneering in his heart as he listened to the voice of hatred coming from his ears.

After the young man and the Onmyoji entered the woods, a figure walked out of Kamigamo Shrine.

"I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance again." The person who spoke was none other than Zhang Luo.

Ten minutes ago, facing the evil ghost's gaze, Zhang Luo immediately took out his weapon, but was surprised to find that the evil ghost just looked at him and had no intention of taking action.

Zhang Luo's mind raced, and he immediately understood that this evil ghost was not a real evil ghost after all. On the contrary, he could be said to be the apostle of Guangmu Tianwang. If he had not entered his attack range and had not taken the initiative to attack him, he would not have attacked him.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Luo was about to step forward to test it out. At this time, Ibaraki Douji's voice sounded in Zhang Luo's ears.

"Master, a large group of Onmyoji are coming from half a mile away."

Ibaraki Douji could never stand still. After staying beside Zhang Luo for a few seconds, he relied on his spiritual form to wander around without any resistance, and thus discovered things that Zhang Luo could not find.

"Oh?" Zhang Luo turned around and looked in the direction he came from.

The fog was still so thick and the distance was too far, so Zhang Luo couldn't see anything.

It should be aimed at evil spirits.

Zhang Luo thought that there was only one monster in this area, the evil ghost.

With the idea of ​​letting the Onmyojis serve as vanguards to help him test the evil spirits, Zhang Luo did not enter the suspected attack range of the evil spirits. Instead, he retreated all the way to Kamigamo Shrine, hid in the shrine, watched what was happening outside, and only came out after the Onmyojis passed by.

"Do you know that guy? I feel that guy has potential that is no less than Abe Haruaki." Ibaraki Douji asked in surprise.

"Of course I know him. That guy was reborn in modern times a thousand years later through the Taishan Lord Ceremony, and he also planned to destroy mankind and create a world of psychics." Zhang Luo nodded slightly and whispered.

Just as Zhang Luo said, the young man was none other than Asakura Ye Wang. If Zhang Luo had not used Sengo Muramasa's possession after seeing Asakura Ye Wang's figure just now, Zhang Luo would have been discovered by Asakura Ye Wang, who could hear the voice of others.

The Onmyoji who came with him must be the Onmyoji from the Makura family.

Zhang Luo's eyes fell on the Onmyoji's clothes, on which was printed a mark, which was the family emblem of the Makura family.

During his time in Heian-kyō, Zhang Luo had also heard of the Asakura family. This family was quite powerful, but it could not be compared with the Kamo family. There was only one great Onmyoji, and that was the head of the Asakura family. The other members of the family were mediocre. If it weren't for King Asakura Ye, the Asakura family would probably have been removed from the list of Onmyoji families in Heian-kyō after the head of the Asakura family died.

"Haha, that's a very good ambition." Ibaraki Douji said with a laugh, his tone revealing a gloating tone.

Zhang Luo ignored Ibaraki Douji who was gloating over his misfortune. He chanted a spell to eliminate the aura on his body, and took advantage of the cover of fog to quietly chase after the Onmyoji of the Asakura family.

"Ah! That's it."

Not far from the hill, the leading Onmyoji stopped.

Ma Cang Ye Wang stood behind the leading Yin Yang Master and peered through the gaps between the people. Under the hazy moonlight, he could vaguely see a white object standing in front of him.

All the Onmyojis of the Makura family became nervous. They all knew that this monster was transformed from an ancient cypress that was more than a thousand years old. It was definitely a big monster. Although it had not hurt anyone and was stained with blood and resentment, they could not guarantee that it would not suddenly go crazy.

"Let's go." The leading Onmyoji walked forward calmly, but unlike other Onmyoji, his eyes were fiery and full of greed when he looked at the evil ghost.

King Ma Cang Ye took a few steps back, moving further away from the evil ghost. No one paid attention to King Ma Cang Ye's actions, but walked closer and saw a huge cypress stump with a naked boy standing next to it.

The boy looked at the Onmyojis who had arrived, and he stretched his thin red lips to the left and right and smiled. His white teeth were visible between his two red lips, which made the Onmyojis feel a chill in their hearts.

"Do you want to go over?" the boy asked in a penetrating, thin voice.

The leading Yin-Yang master ignored the boy's words, took out a talisman from his body, put the paper talisman between his legs, chanted a spell, pointed at the boy, and the talisman flew towards the boy.

However, before the talisman could be attached to the boy, he took it away. He simply stretched out his right hand and casually grabbed it, and the talisman was in his hand.

"Hey, I'm asking you, do you want to go or not?" The boy threw away the talisman and asked again.

However, when they saw the scene in front of them, the Onmyojis were not panicked but showed joy on their faces, and the leading Onmyoji was even more excited.

Because the talisman just now was not actually a powerful talisman. It was just the most common and popular exorcism talisman, which was only effective against evil spirits that had resentment and were stained with blood. If it was such an evil spirit, no matter how strong it was, the talisman would react. If the talisman did not react, it meant that the boy in front of him was not a murderous evil spirit, and the possibility of defeating him would be much greater.

After verifying the information obtained during the day, the leading Onmyoji did not hesitate and immediately took out several exquisite paper talismans from his body. The talismans were painted with mysterious patterns, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary items.

These paper talismans were specially prepared by the head of the Makura family for this retreat, all for the purpose of giving the family more fighting power.

"Hurry up as a law!"

The Yin-Yang master chanted a string of spells, then shouted loudly, and the four paper talismans in his hand flew towards the boy like arrows.

The paper talisman quickly grew larger on all sides of the boy, turning into four paper walls that surrounded the boy and quickly approached him, intending to trap him.

"Why don't you answer me!"

Looking at the paper talismans surrounding him from all sides, the boy shouted angrily. With that shout, his hair stood on end, his eyes widened, and his pupils doubled in size. Only his lips retained a faint red hue.

"If you don't answer me, I'll be angry!"

The boy's voice became hoarse and his mouth suddenly opened, revealing a huge tongue and fangs.

Although the boy's body was still very small at this time, he looked like a devil. Whenever he opened his mouth to speak, green flames would burst out of his mouth.

"Edict!"

The Yin-Yang Master ignored the boy's intentions. Seeing that the paper talisman was about to wrap up the boy, he shouted excitedly.

Chapter 190 Conquering the Evil Ghost

The restraint of the paper talisman was broken free in the blink of an eye. The giant boy roared angrily and pounced on the Onmyojis. Although the boy was too big, his speed was not slow at all. He rushed in front of the Onmyojis in an instant and slapped down with his huge ghost claws.

"Hail to the Yaksha Heaven! Bound! Bound! The Three Vehicles' causal practices! Accomplished auspiciousness!"

The spell used to bind the demon fell on the boy, but had no effect on him at all.

"I respectfully invite you to descend, all the gods and immortals! Bind the ghosts and subdue the evil! Eliminate all the demons! Hurry and obey the command!"

"It must be the Fire Emperor! All the demons will be subdued!"

"The Jade Emperor has issued an edict! The magical talisman commands us to slay demons and bind evil spirits!"

"All demons are lying in wait! Hurry and obey the command!"

"I respectfully invite you to come down, all the gods and immortals! Kill thousands of ghosts! Repel the ghosts and prolong your life! Hurry and obey the command!"

"The Jade Emperor has issued an order! The evil spirits will devour them and shatter them into pieces! Hurry and issue the order from the Three Wonderful Lords!"

Noisy incantations echoed across the hills, and dozens of paper talismans flew towards the boy, with fire and lightning falling on him one after another.

It’s a pity that they are too weak, just as Asakura Ye Wang commented, they are stupid, weak, greedy and incompetent, a group of mediocre people.

The attacks of the Onmyojis did not hurt the boy, but instead angered him.

The boy howled loudly and slapped down faster and faster. In a blink of an eye, he broke up the attacking paper talismans and spells, and they fell heavily to the ground. When the boy raised his hand, the leading Onmyoji and several Onmyoji who didn't have time to dodge had turned into a pile of meat paste.

"If you don't answer me, you'll all die!"

The boy opened his bloody mouth and scorching flames spewed out of his mouth, burning towards the Onmyoji of the Makura family. The Onmyoji of the Makura family had fallen into chaos after the death of the leader Onmyoji. They crowded together and fled in all directions. A large number of them were burned to death, leaving only five or six scattered Onmyoji alive.

The boy caught up with the fleeing Onmyoji in a few steps, and beat them into a pulp, one with each hand. Now only two Onmyoji were left running in the front.

The boy took another step forward, and his fingers turned into thick vines, rolling towards the Onmyoji.

An Onmyoji discovered this situation when he turned his head. He became ruthless and raised his foot to kick the Onmyoji next to him hard on the leg. The Onmyoji next to him was stunned for a moment and fell to the ground in embarrassment. Before he could get up, the vines transformed from the boy's fingers wrapped around the Onmyoji. Within two seconds, blood mud seeped out of the tightened vines.

The other Onmyoji took advantage of this opportunity and ran down the hill.

However, the tripped scapegoat Onmyoji did not buy the Onmyoji much time. Before the Onmyoji could escape five steps, the boy chased him with big strides and caught up with the Onmyoji after only two steps.

The Onmyoji had already seen King Asakura Ye at this time. King Asakura Ye had been staying at the outermost edge, watching everything happening on the hill coldly. He did not move when he saw the Onmyoji and the boy coming over.

A hint of joy flashed in the Onmyoji's eyes, and an ugly expression appeared on his face. He quickened his pace and ran towards King Makura Ye.

[If a mere bastard could sacrifice his life to save mine, it would be a worthy death.]

Asakura Ye Wang listened to the Onmyoji's inner thoughts, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a sneer that made the Onmyoji feel cold in his heart.

"Hamster painting."

The Onmyoji had already stretched out his right hand to grab King Makura Ye, but suddenly heard his own name. The Onmyoji felt as if his whole body was electrocuted, and in an instant it seemed as if even his breath was taken away.

But that was only a momentary feeling. The next moment, the Onmyoji returned to normal, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

"How, how is it possible! Just..."

"Do not move."

Before the Onmyoji finished speaking, King Makura Ye shouted again.

The Onmyoji stopped, maintaining his strange running posture, and stayed where he was.

Ma Cang Ye Wang retreated a few meters.

"Oh!"

The boy who was chasing him raised his right foot and stepped on the Onmyoji. The sound of broken bones came from under the boy's feet. The boy's huge force had crushed the Onmyoji to pieces.

From then on, all the Onmyojis of the Asakura family were wiped out except for Asakura Ye Wang.

"So, weaklings should know themselves and don't harbor the idea that I can kill you back. This is simply courting death." Zhang Luo watched the Onmyoji die coldly without showing up. Instead, he spoke quietly to Ibaraki Douji beside him in the dark.

"Tsk, it's just the bad nature of humans. This kind of thing would never happen among us monsters." Ibaraki Douji said disdainfully. Among monsters, if there is a huge gap in strength, the only option is surrender. He has never heard of a small monster challenging a big monster.

At this time, the boy also began to shrink, changing from a huge evil demon form back to the appearance of a young boy. He ignored the Ma Cang Ye Wang who was right in front of him, but stepped on the corpses along the way and returned to the tree stump.

At the same time, King Makura Ye stepped forward.

"Do you want to go over?" Seeing Ma Cang Ye Wang coming, the boy asked again as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, what should I do?" Ma Cang Ye Wang said calmly.
