Persona: Devil Summoner

Setant wanted to continue fighting, but just as he was about to catch up, he felt a pain in his knee and stopped immediately.

Thanks to Setant's pause, the emerald-colored wind turned into a tornado like dense blades, rushing between Zhong Kui and Setant. If Setant hadn't stopped just now, this blow would definitely hit him hard.

The woman who did all this just pursed her cherry lips and raised her hands lightly, as if blowing away the petals falling on her palms.

Being able to create such an effect just by blowing, Setant had only seen one person with such exaggerated fighting power - that was his own teacher Scathach.

"Tsk! Who are you, woman?"

Although Setant admitted defeat in his heart, he certainly couldn't admit defeat verbally. As a man, no matter what, he can't lose face.

However, nothing happened to the woman who was named, but Zhong Kui was angry on her behalf, and his already red face became even redder as if blood was about to drip out!

"How dare you! You little boy! Do you know who this person is?"

"Nonsense! I'm asking because I don't know him!"

Setant's words left Zhong Kui speechless for a moment. He kept yelling for a long time, just like a Peking Opera actor building up his momentum on the stage: "That sir is! That sir is - the spiritual ancestor of the descendants of Yan and Huang! It's the goddess Nuwa! You, you, you, how can you be so rude!"

"That's none of my business. I'm not a descendant of the Chinese people!"

Setant was still unforgiving in his words. What was the most annoying thing in such a quarrel? It was the words that were obviously correct but deliberately sabotaged. Yes, Setant was a character in Celtic mythology. I wonder what was wrong with Nuwa!

But Jiang Tianwei was stunned when he heard this!

Nuwa?!

That's a big shot.

According to legend, Nuwa made humans out of clay. In other words, in this sense, she is the common ancestor of all Chinese people, or the creator. In addition, there is the myth of Nuwa mending the sky. In the hearts of Chinese people, Nuwa is definitely a very famous deity.

I didn't expect that I would see a living Nuwa today...

"Haha, it seems like you have a good eye. What's your name?"

The beautiful lady called Nuwa asked Zhong Kui with a smile. Zhong Kui bowed his head and didn't care about the opera tone. He answered seriously: "I am from Zhongnan, Yongzhou. My surname is Zhong and my name is Kui. I was conferred the title of 'Saint Lord of Blessing and Guarding the House' by the emperor. I am here to meet Nuwa!"

"Haha, no need to be polite. But, I don't know why you are bothering my child, Mr. Zhong Kui?"

As Nuwa spoke, she did not continue to look at Zhong Kui, but looked at Jiang Tianwei. Although she seemed to be asking a question, there was no question in her tone. It was as if she already knew the answer and just wanted to confirm it with Zhong Kui... or, in other words, to test him.

Zhong Kui shouted in response, "Nuwa, don't be fooled by that man. Although he is wearing the skin of a human, he smells like a demon inside. My nose is definitely not for show. I will never mistake the smell of a demon."

"uh-huh."

Nuwa responded and looked at Jiang Tianwei with a smile. Her bright yellow eyes were like a snake staring at its prey, which made Jiang Tianwei feel creepy. He couldn't help but explain, "I, I defeated a few demons, but..."

"Defeat... heh..."

Before he could finish, Nuwa interrupted him.

"Is it really?"

Nuwa narrowed her eyes and stared at Jiang Tianwei.

"Um... yes, right?"

Jiang Tianwei was confused by this question. He thought carefully and although he did not defeat all the demons, at least he did not defeat all the demons he encountered...

!

Suddenly! An idea flashed through Jiang Tianwei's mind like lightning.

"No... that's not right. Not all demons were defeated by me!"

Yes, after thinking carefully, Jiang Tianwei suddenly found something wrong.

Although the Demon Bullfighter was defeated by Kasumi Yoshizawa, he was indeed defeated.

Although the victory over the devil Hell's Angel was not achieved through fighting, he did beat the opponent by racing, so it can be considered a victory.

But...the Great Demon Abbot was not defeated by me!

He surrendered himself!

Nuwa showed an approving look on her face and said with a smile: "As expected of my son, you understand everything at once."

As she spoke, like a mother doting on her child, she stretched out her slender, white hand to stroke Jiang Tianwei's hair, making him feel awkward.

I think so. If anyone suddenly sees a beauty who is comparable to a world-class star coming over one day and suddenly says, "You are my daughter!", they will have this strange feeling... Especially if they have a mother...

Snapped!

Suddenly, Jiang Tianwei felt a slight pain in his forehead, and a crisp sound came from his skin, flesh, bones and ears at the same time. It turned out that Nuwa raised her index finger and flicked his head!

The sound is crisp and not too strong, full of pampering.

However, from Fang Zejin's perspective, she saw her senior being flicked on the forehead softly, and with a snap, a huge wave of air suddenly exploded behind his head! The filthy yellow wind seemed to be forced out by the power of her finger, spreading from behind Jiang Tianwei and exploding!

When the smoke and dust cleared, a strange skeleton figure wearing a khaki monk's robe was seen sitting in mid-air, with his palms in a seal and holding a string of prayer beads.

There is no doubt that this is the figure of the demon, the great abbot.

However, what was originally supposed to be a whole skull now had some skin covering it. If it was originally a skeleton, it was now a mummy. Moreover, it looked vaguely like Jiang Tianwei had been made into a human corpse? !

“Hehehe… You actually found me… Looks like you must have met a master…”

Chapter 251 Don’t Trust Strangers

The Great Abbot is said to be a demon transformed from a monk who had attained enlightenment.

If one goes on a hunger strike and practices to save the world, and never gives up on saving people until the last moment of his life, he will become such a Buddha in this life after his death.

To become a great abbot, one does not need superb martial arts skills or boundless magical powers, but a kind heart that sympathizes with the world.

There is no doubt that the Great Monk of Demon once became a living Buddha, and in theory, he can be trusted.

Jiang Tianwei was also fooled by the indifferent and detached temperament that he had displayed before. It is said that monks do not tell lies, so this enlightened monk would naturally not tell lies either.

But... there is a fatal problem here...

If this great monk had already attained Buddhahood during his lifetime, why couldn't he attain paradise? Why did he become a demon?

A long period of time will corrode people.

How many people, in their youth, had ideals and ambitions, pursuits and beliefs, but their edges were smoothed over by the years and they finally became one of the masses.

Monks are also human beings. Although they practice asceticism and exercise, it is undeniable that they are human beings. Being human means having various desires. They can sacrifice themselves for a grand goal, but it is difficult for this desire to completely disappear...

If this monk really had no desires, he would probably become a Buddha rather than a demon.

The same was true for this great abbot. Although he sacrificed his life to save the world... after his soul left his body, after countless years, he gradually changed his mind.

(Why does it have to be me?)

Such a selfish thought.

(If I were alive, could I have saved more people?)

Such a high-sounding idea.

(They say if I don’t go to hell, then who will? Why doesn’t anyone else go to this purgatory with me?)

Such a cynical mood...

Finally, these negative emotions formed the Great Demon Abbot.

Of course he wanted to win the war against demons.

However, it is impossible for him to win this war against demons with his level...

I have said before that to become the Grand Abbot, you need not arm strength or magic power, but Buddhist cultivation. So in terms of fighting, the Grand Abbot can never beat the Demon Bullfighter. In terms of speed, he can never beat the Demon Hell Angel. In terms of magic power, there are many demons stronger than the Grand Abbot...

In fact, not everything he said to Jiang Tianwei before was false... If Jiang Tianwei had really fought with him in the courtyard at that time, he would most likely have been the one to die.

Therefore, the weak have their own way of fighting.

That is... the Alliance.

What Jiang Tianwei didn't know was that the demons were numerous and organized. The ability of the demon monk [Troubles are Bodhi] happened to perfectly restrain the ability of another extremely powerful demon.

That demon possesses the charm that can enchant everything in the world, but charm itself is a kind of mental abnormality... It feels like you learned to be immune to poison before fighting with the Poison Hand Medicine King. Then the battle will definitely be one-sided and there will be no chance of winning.

So, in order to avoid this situation, the two demons joined forces.

The war between demons and humans has [benefits] for both demons and participants. The great monk longs for a new life, to return to the world again. Whether he wants to practice Buddhism again, save the world, or live a carefree life, that is a matter for the future. His allies, on the other hand, don't care much about resurrection or not.

Compared to that kind of thing, she was more interested in Jiang Tianwei's soul.

So the two hit it off and joined forces to defeat Jiang Tianwei. After the victory, their souls belonged to each other, and their bodies belonged to the great monk. This kind of alliance based on interests is often unexpectedly strong. As long as the interests are not damaged, the two will fight side by side reliably.

Therefore, the great abbot did not fight with Jiang Tianwei, but surrendered deliberately and took the opportunity to enter Jiang Tianwei's spiritual world. In order not to make him suspicious, the great abbot has been suppressing his existence.

This is why Jiang Tianwei, who later possessed the ability to calm down by forcing himself to calm down, still had intense emotional fluctuations. Because that ability did not belong to him, but to the great monk in his spiritual world.

Unless Jiang Tianwei had a strong subjective desire to calm down, and the demon monk read this intention and lent him a hand, usually, in order not to be discovered by Jiang Tianwei, the monk had been carefully hiding himself, for fear of being exposed by other demons, or being discovered by some capable person...

Originally, they were prepared to wait for Jiang Tianwei to defeat all the other demons and face that adult, and then the great monk would come up with an internal and external support...

Unexpectedly, today, Nuwa saw through my plan.

What's more, he didn't expect that the way that Lady Nuwa could break his magic was just a simple brain collapse? !

This is truly an unexpected development!

Jiang Tianwei was stunned when he saw a mummy suddenly appeared behind him. Then he understood: "You old baldy, are you trying to trick me?!"

"Kokoko... This is all because you are so stupid! You even dare to believe the words of demons like us!"

As the chief abbot spoke, he raised the rosary in his hand. His yellow robe fluttered without wind, and brilliant white light swirled around him. The square wall of light, like a gigantic book, revolved around the body of the demon chief abbot.

"You guy..."

Jiang Tianwei was so angry that his blood boiled. With a casual shake of his hand, a black gun appeared in his hand. He was about to stab the demon with the gun, but was blocked by Nuwa. The red sleeves blocked Jiang Tianwei like a wall. A pleasant fragrance surrounded Jiang Tianwei, calming his originally restless mood a little.

"Don't get excited, my child. - Zhong Kui, it's time for you to show off."

"Wow, he's actually hiding in the spiritual world. Cunning! Cunning!! He almost killed a good person by mistake. He's a demon! Damn it! Deserve to be killed!! Deserve to be killed!!!"

Zhong Kui's beard stood up in anger. His short limbs were waving wildly to vent his anger. The sword in his hand was getting stronger and stronger. As the sword was swung in the air, the sound of breaking wind could be heard! The blue-purple light was gathering more and more on his sword blade.

The Demonic Monk of course knew that this guy was going to attack him. As the saying goes, the first to strike is the strongest! He pushed his arms forward, and the book-like light surrounding him flew out rapidly, instantly enveloping Zhong Kui's figure!

This is another special trick of the Demonic Abbot - [Whirling Sermon]. Although he is a demon, he possesses the power of pure blessing. If he faces an ordinary demon, this power of faith gained from practicing Buddhism in his lifetime will easily guide the opponent to ascend to heaven!

I don't know how many ignorant demons like this I have saved! The Demon Master Monk is confident that this time he will be as successful as before.

After this ugly guy is liberated, the next one will be Jiang Tianwei.

Since I have been forced out of the spiritual world alive, I must at least seize the opportunity now...

(Kekekeke… Don’t blame me, kid. I sacrificed my life to save others, so it’s only right that the world gives me a little bit of return, right?)

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 252: The More Suitable the Scheme, the More Likely It Is to Fail

Life is short, so humans attach great importance to accumulating experience. It is no exaggeration to say that human history is the history of constantly accumulating various experiences and lessons.

There was an evil emperor who had learned one thing from his short life - that the more people scheme, the easier it is for them to make mistakes. So-called humans have their limits! Unless you surpass humans! So he stopped being a human!

Now, although the great abbot has indeed stopped being a human being, he has not learned the most important premise of the above golden advice: [The more appropriate it is to play tricks, the easier it is to fail].

When his ultimate move, the Spinning Preaching, hit Zhong Kui, the great abbot really thought he had won! The sacred and solemn light of God would surely guide Zhong Kui to heaven.

"Woohoo! Take this sword from someone!"

However, Zhong Kui, who was wrapped in the holy light, did not utter any wails of pain. On the contrary, in that holy light, he pointed his sword in the air, and a ball of purple sword light burst out from the tip of the sword, like a laser, rushing towards the body of the great abbot!

The chief monk was startled, and raised his hands high. A halo of light surged from his fluttering monk robe, turning into a shield in front of him, trying to block Zhong Kui's attack...

For a moment, the blue-purple and bright yellow colors collided with each other, and the light was very bright. However, in the blink of an eye, the blue-purple sword light easily tore through the great abbot's defense, went straight in, and pierced its heart accurately!

"Koko?!"

The great abbot did think that he might be defeated one day, but he never thought that he would be defeated so easily!

Zhong Kui didn't even have to exert any effort. He just struck through the air with his sword and killed himself? !

He didn't know, and he had no chance to know.

Zhong Kui is an expert at catching ghosts. You may be better than Zhong Kui in other aspects, but when it comes to catching ghosts and demons, he is not afraid of anyone.
