Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

At some point, a chilly feeling enveloped the entire Buddhist temple, and the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped several degrees.

Being locked in the sight of some wild beast, Xia Fan raised his head as if sensing something...

Chapter 309: Buddha's Wrath

2024-07-13

"When did these cats come in..."

Jinguji Aoi followed Xia Fan's gaze upwards, her eyes softened at first, then became alert.

Shorthair, Ragdoll, Siamese, Sphynx, Persian, Maine, German...

Hundreds of cats of various breeds and shapes squatted on the interlaced wooden beams inside the temple.

"Meow!!!"

This group of cats came from nowhere, with arched backs, long tails erected, and round, vertical pupils. Under the dim eaves, they looked like densely packed lanterns, dimly illuminating the two people below.

"The shrine maiden of Amaterasu..."

"This is the sacred domain of the Great Vow Cat Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, meow."

"Get out of this land now and save your life, meow."

Low, hoarse, obscure and non-human voices came out from the mouths of the cats one after another.

"Namo Great Vow Cat Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

“Could it be that the cat Jizo originally enshrined here has not perished?”

Mumbling the name, Xia Fan looked at Jinguji Aoi curiously.

"Impossible. This temple has been deserted for decades. When the land was returned to the country, the Psychic Association had confirmed repeatedly that there were no traces of any 'divine power' inside or outside the torii."

"Perhaps this is some kind of monster or evil spirit, pretending to be an old god and doing sneaky things."

Jinguji Aoi shook her head affirmatively and quietly picked up a few talismans with her fingertips.

"What a fake old god, doing sneaky things..."

"Are the gods that you humans no longer believe in no longer recognized by their original names?"

The cats parted to the sides, and an unusually large figure walked out from the center of the roof with the gait of a dragon or a tiger...

"So, so fat..."

"Orange cat?"

What appeared in front of the two was an abnormally fat orange cat that was twice as big as the cats around it.

"It's not an orange cat, it's Namo the Great Wish Cat Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"

"I simply abandoned the old Buddhist temple of mankind and embraced the wider world and all living beings..."

The yellow and white fur surged along with the plump body, and a pair of golden vertical pupils exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The strangest thing was that the fat orange cat had Buddhist beads hanging on its body and wore a short black cassock.

"This is the last reminder that this is the divine realm that does not belong to humans."

"If you don't retreat from the Torii, I will have to resort to swift and violent means to show my compassionate heart."

Standing up with an imposing manner without being angry, the "Namo Great Vow Cat Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" raised its chubby cat paws, and three huge claws of exaggerated length, shiny and sharp appeared.

This made Xia Fan feel like he was seeing a "fat cat version of Wolverine".

"Jinguji, you see, that black and gray..."

"Well, I guess this 'Cat Jizo' must have lost the faith of mankind, and was contaminated by foul air, and turned into a wild god..."

Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi were very familiar with the black and gray aura belonging to the wild god lingering on the sharp claws.

"Wild God? I'm not that cheap thing..."

As if offended by the name "wild god", a "well"-shaped wrinkle appeared on the chubby forehead of "Cat Jizo".

"Let you ignorant humans see the wrath of Buddha, meow!"

Its sharp teeth bared at the corners of its mouth, and its red tongue licked its sharp claws ferociously, then seemed to retract because of the pain of being cut.

"..."

After saying this harsh word, the cat hid in the middle of the group of cats and stood there, still maintaining the "threatening" posture of flicking its claws...

But Xia Fan suddenly sensed some strong attack intention, locking onto Jinguji Aoi.

"careful!"

He reached out without hesitation and pulled her into his arms...

"Meow?"

Almost at the same time, the figure of the cat Jizo appeared in front of the two of them like a ghost, and its sharp claws brushed past Jinguji Aoi...

"It's so fast that I can't see it clearly. It's like teleportation..."

Pulling away from Xia Fan's arms awkwardly, Jinguji Aoi looked at the three huge scratches left on the place where she had originally stood with fear.

If Xia Fan had not been foresighted just now, she would probably have been injured by this cat Dizang.

"Pray for Amaterasu's wrath to burn the chaotic world and slay the evil!"

Several pieces of talisman paper folded into a triangle flew out from her fingertips like darts, forming a "品" shape and heading straight for Cat Jizo.

"Talisman paper... is too slow, meow."

The cat Dizang squatted on the spot without dodging or evading, with a look of disdain on its face. Its claws swept past like the wind, and all the talisman papers were already caught in its fingertips.

"Boom..."

As soon as he finished speaking, flames rose from the three talismans and swallowed up the entire body of Cat Jizang.

"It's useless. Buddha has already cultivated an indestructible body of diamond."

When the flames died down, the cat Jizo had disappeared from the spot...

"Watch out, right!"

The murderous intent came again, Xia Fanna quickly hugged Jinguji Aoi and dodged to the side.

"Meow?!"

The cat Jizo, whose body was steaming, danced with its claws, making a sound of breaking through the air, and reappeared from where the two had just been...

"The Buddha practiced the four fundamental meditations and obtained five inconceivable powers, called the five supernatural powers."

"When the mind travels to wherever sentient beings in the ten directions are, without losing concentration, this is called the power of divine travel."

"You are the first human who has been lucky enough to escape the 'Divine Foot Power'..."

"Come again, meow!"

After another empty-handed attempt, Cat Jizang stood up unwillingly and disappeared from the spot again.

"Get out of the way, it's coming for me this time!"

Xia Fan pushed the blushing Jinguji Aoi to the side...

The next second, the bloated but agile figure of the cat Jizang appeared in front of him again!

The sharp claws narrowly passed by Xia Fan's chest...

"How could it be... No, this isn't luck..."

"How can a mere mortal predict my divine power?!"

Cat Dizang exclaimed, and his body accelerated again, flashing wildly around Xia Fan like a phantom...

"What a powerful wild god... such a fast attack..."

"If it were me... I wouldn't be able to dodge such an attack..."

Aoi Jinguji, who was standing by, could only watch as the cat Jizo teleported twice a second and launched a 360-degree attack on Xia Fan with no blind spots, but because the speed of the wild god was too fast, she was unable to do anything.

Although this cat Jizo has a somewhat funny appearance, its pair of sharp claws can cut through gold and iron, its round body can withstand the "Fire of Amaterasu" without any damage, and it has a strange body movement that can shrink the distance into an inch.

She thought about it carefully and realized that the wild gods she had seen before, although they looked several times more terrifying, did not seem as difficult to deal with as this cat Ksitigarbha.

"Mr. Xia Fan seems to be able to handle this kind of attack that is difficult to detect with the naked eye with ease. He is truly unfathomable..."

What surprised Jinguji Aoi even more was that although Xia Fan seemed to be in a panic at this time, he was always able to avoid the elusive attacks of Cat Jizang with tap dancing movements, without even the corners of his clothes being touched.

Chapter 310: Ten Thousand Cats Paying Homage

2024-07-13

"Very good... huh..."

The violent attack lasted for about a minute. Cat Dizang's figure appeared ten meters away, staring at Xia Fan with fear in his vertical pupils.

“Huh… You were able to completely predict my ‘Divine Foot Skill’… Huh… How did you do that, meow…”

The exercise just now seemed to have consumed a lot of its physical strength. At this moment, its pink tongue drooped weakly at the corner of its mouth, and it was a little breathless when it spoke.

"Well, maybe it's because your attack intention is too obvious, and I was able to sense it..."

"Also, do you usually rely too much on this 'divine power' and therefore lack physical exercise?"

Xia Fan scratched his head and answered calmly.

After the fight just now, he has confirmed that before Cat Jizang launches an attack every time, his consciousness will be captured by his "psychic body".

Although this cat Jizo can "teleport", its movements are not much faster than those of an ordinary fat cat, and it is even a bit clumsy...

Xia Fan had the protections of [Naked Body] and [Puppet on the Shed], and could predict its actions, so naturally he couldn't touch a single hair after working for a long time.

"How dare you, you mortal bastard, criticize the gods!"

"In order to cultivate this indestructible body, I have been practicing hard day and night, and I have only been lazy for a few days..."

As if Xia Fan had pointed out the truth, the cat Dizang's hair exploded all over his body and his tail stood up angrily.

"I see. The despicable human used psychic communication to steal my thoughts..."

"No, I am a god. You can communicate with my consciousness. Who on earth are you?"

"No need to answer. I can use my 'Heavenly Eye' to take a look and know your true identity..."

Its amber-like eyes shone with dazzling golden light, reflecting Xia Fan's impeccably handsome face in every detail.

"I read……"

The next second, the cat's eyes suddenly widened...

"I'll see again..."

Then, his eyes widened...

"How is it possible that even the 'clairvoyant' can't see the slightest clue from him?!"

This is the clairvoyance, one of the “Five Supernatural Powers of Buddhism”, which is said to transcend all obstacles of the naked eye and see what ordinary people cannot see. Even if a god is present, Cat Ksitigarbha can still glimpse its origin.

But now, even though Cat Dizang stared with bloodshot eyes like copper bells, it did not see any trace of "supernatural" in Xia Fan. No matter how you looked at him, he was just an ordinary person...

"You are playing tricks on me. If that's the case, let me use my telepathy to read your mind completely!!!"

With an idea, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Cat Jizang's mouth, and the golden light in his eyes turned into pure white light...

"Telepathy" is one of the five supernatural powers in Buddhism, which can see through the thoughts of all living beings.

As long as he uses "telepathy", all of Xia Fan's thoughts and intentions will become no secret to it.

"Pass……"

"I'll pass it again!!!"

The huge cat's eye, like a white light bulb, stared at Xia Fan clearly.

"How come... I can't get any ideas to come through, meow..."

"This guy... is inhuman..."

But the expression on Cat Jizo's face was frozen as if petrified...
