At this moment, the whole earth was shaking.
In the Imperial Palace, wooden houses began to shake along with the ground, and creaking sounds echoed throughout the area. When the staff of the Imperial Palace saw the earthquake coming, they became even more panicked because of the battle of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the situation was out of control.
Not only them, but also the people in the surrounding areas felt the shaking of the earth. In this catastrophe, they were either panicked or cramped, looking for places to hide. After all, it is a country prone to earthquakes, and the area around the Imperial Palace is the area with the highest overall development level. Most of the people here have received primary school education and know some earthquake prevention knowledge.
Many people thought that this earthquake was just like the other small earthquakes they had experienced before, and that the house would shake for a while and then it would be fine. Many people even lingered in their beds and had no intention of getting up and hiding. They had no idea how huge the scale and power of this earthquake was.
Putting aside other things, the cracks created by the Kochi Ninja Sword Technique just now expanded again due to the shaking of the ground. Huge roars continued to come from the cracks, as if the demons from hell were roaring under the earth's crust!
At this moment, whether it was the demons in the Imperial Palace or the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps who were fighting against the demons, they all felt fear in their hearts. It was the fear of the power of heaven and earth. In the face of natural disasters, even the most powerful demons seemed so small, so small that they were not worth mentioning.
Finally, the power of the earth, guided by the cracks, seemed to have found an outlet in the Imperial Palace. Spider-web-like cracks suddenly covered the entire Imperial Palace, and the entire Imperial Palace immediately turned into ruins!
"what!"
Because he was integrated with the Imperial Palace, Xu Fu also felt great pain when the Imperial Palace was severely damaged. It was as if his soul was torn apart and his body was ravaged by the gods. In front of Shinobu Kocho, his eyes were full of bloodshot, saliva flowed uncontrollably from his mouth, and his whole face became extremely distorted and hideous, as if he was a devil from hell who was punished by heaven.
The collapse of the Imperial Palace not only turned the entire palace into ruins, but the aftermath of the destruction also made a huge sound, which was heard clearly even by the people in the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. In the midst of the shaking of the catastrophe, Shinobu Kocho slowly stood up. She raised her right hand slightly, and then gently clenched it, as if the Tathagata Buddha was holding Sun Wukong, and pronounced:
"Xu Fu, this is the real Heaven's Breathing! Heaven's Breathing, Zero Form, Heaven's Punishment!"
As if it was expected, or it had been calculated long ago. Just after Shinobu Kocho said this, the Imperial Palace, which had been broken into two pieces by the cracks in the earth, was squeezed again by the mighty force of the earth. The original cracks healed quickly, and the center of the cracks began to rise continuously, and a small mountain range rose inside the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace, which was already in ruins, was hit hard again. Xu Fu's breath became weaker and weaker, and he spoke intermittently:
"Butterfly...Ninja!"
That voice contained not only anger and pain, but also deep fear.
It was the first time that he was so afraid of someone. Even the former Tsugumi Yoshiichirō did not give him such a feeling.
At this moment, he felt that Shinobu Kocho was the emperor who looked down upon the world, while he was just a clown prostrating himself at the foot of Mount Tai.
No, not the first time!
This feeling of insignificance, fear, not having control over one's life and death, and having one's fate manipulated by others, he had experienced it in another person.
While roaring in pain, Xu Fu immediately turned around and ran towards the east.
"Don't even think about running!"
Seeing that Xu Fu was trying to escape, Shinobu Kocho, who had been confronting him, immediately chased after him with the Nichirin Sword in hand.
Xu Fu was still running away.
As he fled, the fear in his heart grew stronger. That fear came from Shinobu Kocho, but also from two thousand years ago, from the depths of his soul, from the first man he feared in his life, and also the man he feared the most in his life.
First Emperor!
In a trance, his eyes seemed to travel through time and space, back to the foot of Mount Tai two thousand years ago. He crawled at the foot of Mount Tai, like an ant or a stink bug, trembling with fear, afraid that the slightest mistake would anger the man on the top of the mountain.
The eunuch's voice came from the mountain.
It's sharp and high-pitched, disgusting yet forces one to submit.
"The mountain roars!"
"Long live the emperor!"
"The mountain roars!"
"Long live the emperor!"
"Call again!"
"Long live the emperor!"
Behind every cheer, one's dignity is trampled upon again and again.
He was clearly the chosen one of Louguan Dao, the future head of Taiqing Sect in his master's eyes, the pillar of the future Taiqing lineage. His life had been so proud, so unruly, so perfect, as high and mighty as a dragon in the sky...
But now he still has to kneel at the foot of Mount Tai like thousands of ordinary people.
Together with a group of lowly untouchables, ignorant mortals, and cowardly Confucian scholars, they bowed down to the figure high above.
"Long live the emperor!"
The person who was bowing before him willingly and even proudly was the headmaster of the Louguan Dao of the Taiqing Sect. He was also the master whom he once respected and admired the most.
But at this moment, he was the person he despised and hated the most. Because in his mind, the master who had always been arrogant because of his talent, was now kneeling on the ground with a respectful look on his face, like an old dog willingly bowing to another person.
Is this still my master?
No, this is not my master. When my master gave up his dignity and pride and devoted himself to worshipping another person, his soul and personality were already dead!
The person kneeling in front of him now is not his master.
He is just a coward who surrenders to power.
"The mountain roars!"
When the high-pitched voice came, everyone under Mount Tai was either trembling with fear, or proud of it, or sweating profusely, or as calm as usual. People with different expressions all knelt down and submitted to the words of a eunuch, submitting to the master of this land.
"Long live the emperor!"
Everyone was shouting, some were showing respect, some were in fear, some were trying their best to please, and some were just pretending to be submissive.
But this time, among those who were kneeling and shouting, there was one person who neither kneeled nor shouted.
He was the most arrogant and unruly of the ants, and no one noticed his action. People standing on high ground could not see the scenery below the mountain, and people kneeling at the foot of the mountain could not see him raising his head.
That was the bravest moment in Xu Fu's life.
Under the majesty of the First Emperor, at the sacred moment of Fengshan on Mount Tai, Xu Fu was like an evil ghost hiding in the darkness and spying on the light. He looked towards the east, towards the man on the top of Mount Tai who was also looking down at the mountain.
At this moment, the dark black imperial robe of the First Emperor was stained with a layer of gold under the rising sun in the east, making the bright red dragon pattern on the imperial robe vivid. The twelve-leaf crown swayed in the wind, and under the crown, the First Emperor looked calmly at the mountains and rivers under his feet. That was his country, and those were his subjects.
His eyes were filled with pride and honor, because he had unified China and accomplished great feats that surpassed the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He now wanted to report his achievements to the almighty heaven. At this moment, he only felt that he was the master of heaven and earth, the only emperor in heaven and on earth!
But he didn't expect that there was another proud person at the foot of the mountain not far from him. He raised his head and looked at the figure far above the mountain. The First Emperor didn't expect that not everyone would submit to him. At his most proud moment, an ant in a deep ditch actually looked at him from a distance.
There was no respect or fear in his eyes, only greed and covetousness.
At this moment, a ghost appeared in his heart, a terrible evil ghost that has run through human history. The name of this ghost is "Power". His voice kept tempting him and assimilating him in his heart, gradually turning him from a human into a man-eating evil ghost.
"This is what a man should do!"
That ghost said.
"He can take his place!"
The ghost said again.
Yeah!
The ghost was right. The First Emperor was also a human being. If he could do it, why couldn't I do it?
Looking at the First Emperor who was high above him, he stretched out his right hand, as if he wanted to grasp the heaven, earth, sun and moon in his hand. Putting his five fingers together, he grasped Mount Tai, the sun and the First Emperor on the top of Mount Tai in his hand.
I also want to be that kind of person, and I want everyone in this world to surrender to me!
I want to surpass the emperor and become the supreme celestial locust!
Xu Fu is still on the run, and behind him is the figure of Shinobu Kocho chasing him.
As the most powerful evil spirit in this country, Xu Fu's speed was naturally very fast. The Imperial Palace occupied a large area, and the shaking and obstacles caused by the earthquake made it more difficult to escape. But even so, Xu Fu's speed was still very fast, and in a blink of an eye he was about to reach the edge of the Imperial Palace.
At this moment, his original body has disappeared due to the destruction of the Imperial Palace. But as long as Xu Fu's clone occupying Prince Arisugawa's body can escape, he can make a comeback with the identity of Prince Arisugawa.
Shinobu Kocho knew everything about this matter, but she couldn't do anything about it. Her body had been through a series of fierce battles, and her physical and mental strength were still greatly consumed. At this moment, she was completely relying on her inner persistence to chase the evil spirit in front of her. If this obsession disappeared, she would probably faint directly.
Fortunately, Shinobu Kocho was not the only one she could rely on. Just as Xu Fu was about to flee the Imperial Palace, an illusory figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The figure was wearing a cassock, a monk's hat, holding a human head banner in his left hand, and making a nectar seal with his right hand. It was none other than Tantra Ksitigarbha, one of the six phases of Ksitigarbha.
The huge Tantra Ksitigarbha was more than ten meters tall, standing in front of Xu Fu like a small mountain. Sensing Xu Fu's approach, Tantra Ksitigarbha's eyes widened, thousands of rays of light bloomed from his eyes, staring at Xu Fu intently, as if he wanted to see through all his karma!
This was Beimingyu Xingming who, after noticing Xu Fu's movements, used the Earth Breathing Technique to launch an attack!
Chapter 183 It’s cold at high places
Xu Fu was already being hunted by Shinobu Kocho, and seeing such a powerful enemy in front of him, he naturally had no interest in fighting. He immediately wanted to change direction and escape from him, but how could Xingming of Beiming Island do as he wished?
The human head banner in the left hand of Tantra Ksitigarbha was shaking, and a thunderous sound was heard in the rainstorm. His eyes were working, and he grasped the direction of Xu Fu's escape, and then the human head banner fell down. Carrying the power of wind and rain, it was so powerful that it seemed to be able to knock down a building.
Seeing this, Xu Fu was immediately swept by a strong wind. The strong wind took advantage of the opportunity and turned into a giant dragon flying upwards towards the huge figure of Tantra Jizang. It became bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye it became a green dragon tens of meters long.
The giant dragon's sturdy body carried tremendous power, wrapping around Tantra Ksitigarbha's body, restricting his movements. As the two confronted each other, Tantra Ksitigarbha's human head pillar could no longer be smashed down.
Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tantra Ksitigarbha was restrained by the Azure Dragon he created using the Heavenly Breathing Technique. But then five more Buddha lights appeared around him, and five illusory Ksitigarbha figures gradually condensed around Xu Fu.
The one who holds the jewel in his left hand and makes the nectar seal with his right hand, and who specializes in saving hungry ghosts, is the Jewel Ksitigarbha.
He who holds a staff in his left hand and makes the wish-fulfilling seal with his right hand, specializes in saving the animals. He is Ksitigarbha the Treasure Seal.
The one who holds the Vajra Banner in his left hand and makes the Abhaya Mudra with his right hand, and who specializes in saving the Asuras, is Ksitigarbha.
He who holds a staff in his left hand and makes the mudra of granting wishes with his right hand removes the hindrances of the eight sufferings for people and specializes in saving humanity. He is Ksitigarbha the Remover of Obstacles.
He holds a wish-fulfilling jewel in his left hand and makes the Dharma-preaching seal with his right hand. He illuminates the five signs of decay in heavenly beings and specializes in saving them. He is the Ksitigarbha of the Sunlight.
The five great Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas, each of which was more than ten meters tall, stood like Buddhas in the wind and rain, surrounding Xu Fu. With the howling wind, thunder and lightning, each Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had his own magical powers and appearances, but all of them were glaring, wanting to save the sinful Xu Fu in front of them.
When Xu Fu saw this, he became even more frightened.
In fact, these Jizo phantoms are not that strong, and each one is about the same strength as the weaker Upper Rank 3. But at this moment, Xu Fu was also greatly weakened by the destruction of the Imperial Palace, and his own strength was not much stronger than Muzan Kibutsuji. Therefore, facing the Earth Breathing Technique performed by Gyoumei of Sadness Island with all his strength, it was obviously difficult to resist.
The orb in the hand of the Jewel Ksitigarbha flew out and hit Xu Fu. A flash of fire flashed around Xu Fu, and a red bird made of flames flew out and knocked the orb of the Jewel Ksitigarbha away, and then entangled with the Jewel Ksitigarbha.
Another Treasure Seal Dizang made a move, and the seal in his hand grew in the wind, turning into a large seal with a radius of several dozen meters, flying over Xu Fu's head, about to crush him into pieces. But the water vapor around Xu Fu suddenly condensed and turned into the image of Xuanwu. The seal took advantage of the momentum and flew down, but it could not break the hard shell of Xuanwu, and was blocked in mid-air, unable to move forward.
Seeing this, Jizo Ksitigarbha held the Vajra Banner with a force of tens of millions of pounds and wanted to smash the tortoise shell of Xuanwu in one fell swoop. However, he did not expect that a starlight suddenly shone in the sky. It was Xu Fuli's Eight-Form Heavenly Emperor Taiyi who used the Heavenly Breathing Method to summon the power of the stars and stop Jizo Ksitigarbha's actions.
At this time, Chugaizhan Dizang, who was standing by, also waved his staff. When he raised it high, another bolt of lightning struck Chugaizhan Dizang. Chugaizhan Dizang had to take two steps back, but the lightning took advantage of the situation and turned into a giant silver-white tiger to compete with Chugaizhan Dizang.
Although Xu Fu lost the blessing of the Imperial Palace, his own strength was also very impressive. Relying on the Four Spirits of Heaven and the Zhou Tian Xing Dou, he fought hard with the five Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas. However, even so, his steps were entangled by the five Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas, and his escape speed inevitably slowed down.
At this moment, Kocho Shinobu finally reached Xu Fu. Along with her, Fuzugawa Sane came here panting heavily. Fuzugawa Sane's air breathing technique was also extremely powerful. In cooperation with Kocho Shinobu, the two swords directly blocked all of Xu Fu's retreat routes.
Xu Fu saw the blades of the two people opposite him getting closer and closer. While dodging the attacks of the surrounding Ksitigarbha images, he practiced the fifth form of the Heavenly Breathing Technique, Heavenly Street Night Walk.
In an instant, zombie-like figures suddenly appeared around him.
Among these figures, there are the five former pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps that Shinobu Kocho knows, as well as many other swordsmen. Most of these people are performing the Full Concentration Breathing Method, and they are obviously former swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. Some of them are performing sword skills of other samurai schools, which should not be underestimated either.
Presumably, these were the swordsmen who had fought against Xu Fu. After they were defeated, their bodies were devoured by Xu Fu, and their spirits were imprisoned by Xu Fu. Facing the current dangerous situation, Xu Fu transformed these former enemies into clones to block the attacks of Kocho Shinobu and Shuten-doji.
Each of these people was a swordsman who had been an enemy of Xu Fu. Their strength should not be underestimated. Almost every one of them had the strength of a Pillar 1. With the blessing of Xu Fu, the strength of these people was comparable to that of an upper-rank.
Perhaps one or two people could be killed in one second in the eyes of Shinobu Kocho and Fuzugawa Minoru, but when dozens of powerful enemies appeared at the same time, even the two of them were caught in a tough battle.
Seeing the situation below taking a sharp turn for the worse, Beimingyu Xingming's eight stars moved horizontally. The only one among the six phases of Ksitigarbha who had not yet taken action, Sunlight Ksitigarbha, also moved. The wish-fulfilling pearl in his hand burst into dazzling light, illuminating the rainy land like daylight. This light not only had the brightness of the sun, but also had the power of sunlight.
The bodies of dozens of evil ghost clones below began to break down due to the light. Some evil ghost clones even dissipated directly in the light.
Because of the help of Nikko Jizo, Kocho Shinobu felt the pressure on her body was greatly reduced, and she wanted to go in the direction of Xu Fu. The evil ghost clones around her seemed endless, and they blocked Kocho Shinobu's steps fearlessly. Kocho Shinobu had just killed two upper-rank evil ghosts with one sword, and immediately four or five evil ghost clones came to kill her with swords.
Seeing Xu Fu getting farther and farther away from her, Kocho Shinobu became more and more anxious. At this moment, the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps also came to Kocho Shinobu one by one. Although everyone's physical strength has reached the limit at this moment, Xu Fu is also the same.
At this moment, everyone was fighting, and the Demon Slayer Corps and others used their last bit of strength to hold back these evil ghost clones. With the help of the Sky Breathing Technique, Fuzugawa Shiya found a chance. With the help of the distorted time and space, the Sun Blade in his hand appeared next to Xu Fu's neck again.
When Xu Fu saw this, his whole body split into two.
With the help of the Sharingan, Shinobu Kocho could see clearly from a distance. Xu Fu saw that it was difficult to escape from the attack of Musashi Fushigawa, so he used the trick of escaping from the shell and threw away the body of Prince Arisugawamiya, who he had been controlling. However, his true form as an evil ghost turned into a wriggling flesh worm and continued to flee into the distance.
Seeing this, Shinobu Kocho could only force herself to perform the Star Breathing technique again.
Xu Fu was secretly pleased with himself at this moment, thinking that he was about to escape from Shen Tian. However, he did not expect that at this moment, a figure appeared in front of him. He held the red Sun Blade in his hand, and his aura was as hot as fire. This person was none other than Rengoku Kyojuro.
It seems that Rengoku Kyojuro's strength was too weak in Xu Fu's eyes, so Xu Fu never took him seriously from beginning to end. Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, it was a swordsman like him who was not too strong who blocked Xu Fu.
Hahaha……
It was a dangerous moment to escape, but Xu Fu couldn't help laughing in his heart. With Rengoku Kyojuro's strength and his insignificant Flame Breathing Technique, how could he stop him?
But even so, Xu Fu still turned his direction and escaped to the side. He was afraid of death and could not guarantee that the other party would not perform a miracle in an instant. After fighting with the Demon Slayer Corps for so many years, he already knew that this group of Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen were very evil.
Seeing that he was about to escape from the Demon Slayer Corps, Xu Fu's originally tense heart became more relaxed, and his whole body felt light.
I am finally going to escape from the Demon Slayer Corps.
But Demon Slayer Corps, you must remember this!
When I make a comeback, I will use the lives of all of you in the Demon Slayer Corps to wash away this shame!
As Xu Fu was imagining this, a scorching flame ignited on Rengoku Kyojuro's body. He swung the Sun Blade in his hand violently, and the whole person passed through the barrier of space like a meteor, and instantly came in front of Xu Fu.
