I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

Tamamo reached out and touched the head of the komainu (guardian dog) and looked at the small flags on their backs. She said seriously, "I'll leave the rest of the journey to you two."

"Wang."

The komainu (guardian dogs) affectionately rubbed against the back of her hand.

When Tamamo looked up again, her headlamp illuminated a large area of ​​darkness.

"You two, stay close behind me."

Uesugi Tetsu tapped Kaga Kiyomitsu, causing it to fly out of its sheath and land behind Tamamo: "I'll clear the way, and Kaga will ensure the safety of the rear."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a dark, bloody handprint suddenly appeared on the tunnel beside Tamamo, startling her so much that she trembled.

hum!

Kaga Kiyomitsu was enraged and suddenly stood up—this handprint now appearing was like slapping him in the face!

A pale glint of light flashed suddenly.

The cold, bloody handprint instantly transformed into warm Soul Points.

Tamamo stared at the scene, her jaw practically dislocated: "Big brother, your knife..."

"Shh, don't talk."

Uesugi Tetsu first raised his finger, and then a silver light flashed on the back of his right hand.

At the edge of his field of vision, a three-eyed demon, completely black and identical to the one that had been standing at the tunnel entrance, was crouching down, reaching out its hand to the ground, seemingly doing something.

As if because Uesugi Tetsuya's gaze was too intense, a blood-red eye instantly looked in his direction.

No, not just one.

In the blink of an eye, five cruel and indifferent eyes, a hundred meters apart, stared intently at Uesugi Tetsuya.

The latter, however, showed no fear whatsoever.

Uesugi Tetsuya, on the contrary, showed an expression of great surprise.

We had barely entered the tunnel when five huge eyeballs appeared right at our doorstep!

Because the surprise came so suddenly, Uesugi Tetsu inadvertently revealed a trace of his spiritual power.

A hundred meters is a fleeting distance for the transmission of spiritual energy.

This somewhat exaggerated spiritual pressure immediately startled the Five-Eyed Demon in the distance.

It immediately stood up, cautiously took two steps back, and wanted to re-enter the darkness before making any further plans.

Uesugi Tetsu narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "Trying to escape!?"

"—Jia, get him!"

Chapter 213 Demon-Level Eyeballs, Utter Terror! The Hundred-Eyed Demon Begins its Advancement! Tens of Thousands of Battle Sequences

Uesugi Tetsu raised his fingertips.

The scorching white aura instantly enveloped Kaga Kiyomitsu's tail, sending it towards the Five-Eyed Demon in a flash!

Inside the deep tunnel, a sudden burst of gas and sonic boom erupted.

The Five-Eyed Demon, already startled, immediately tried to turn its eyes back upon seeing this scene, and sprinted into the darkness on all fours.

But its speed is nowhere near as fast as Kaga Kiyomitsu's.

If it were just Kaga Kiyomitsu himself, Gomokuki might have been able to escape unharmed into the depths of the tunnel by taking advantage of the distance.

However, with Uesugi Tetsu's relentless compression of his qi, Kaga Kiyomitsu's speed more than doubled!

A hundred meters is a distance that passes in the blink of an eye.

Coincidentally, the direction in which the Five-Eyed Demon was standing was directly facing Uesugi Tetsuya, so Kaga Kiyomitsu didn't even need to turn.

The pale blade struck first, piercing the edge of the scarlet eyeball with perfect precision.

Then, at such incredible speed, it drew a circle with the calm and precision of a scalpel.

Remove the eyeball embedded in the back of the Five-Eyed Demon completely.

"hiss--!"

A shrill, furious roar reverberated from within the Five-Eyed Demon's body.

Instead of turning back to fight Kaga Kiyomitsu, it seemed to activate some secret technique, turning its entire body blood red and fleeing much faster.

Kaga Kiyomitsu only had time to gouge out another eyeball before the Five-Eyed Demon completely disappeared from Uesugi Tetsu's sight.

Buzz!

Little Jia hummed loudly, wanting to cut off the head of this ugly-eyed demon.

Uesugi Tetsuya, however, was moved and forbade Kaga Kiyomitsu from pursuing him further.

"Xiao Jia, come back."

When he emphasized it a second time, Kaga Kiyomitsu finally floated back slowly and reluctantly.

Even though Xiao Jia didn't say anything, Uesugi Tetsuya knew it wasn't happy.

After all, no one would be happy to be forced to go to sleep when they're in the middle of a game.

But you shouldn't chase after someone when you shouldn't.

This deep, eerie tunnel holds too many unknowns. So many demons had just emerged from it, and its darkness and length had somewhat obstructed his vision.

Moreover, he has Tamamo and Yagyu Akatsuki standing behind him, who are essentially his employers.

Therefore, it was impossible for Uesugi Tetsu to just run in with Kaga Kiyomitsu.

But if you add a knife to the small one and chase after him...

Uesugi Tetsuya would never do something so stupid.

—We'll get the eyeballs eventually, there's no rush, and there's absolutely no need to take any risks.

He reached out and caught the two scarlet eyeballs, which were not much different from the ones from before, which Kaga Kiyomitsu had scooped up with the blade of his sword. He patted the hilt of the sword in a gesture of comfort.

So Kaga Kiyomitsu calmed down.

The little guy's emotions always come and go quickly.

Behind him, Tamamo, whose gaze had been drawn away and then pulled back, continued her sentence with a slight stutter: "Big brother, your knife... is both beautiful and clever."

She rubbed her hands together, her eyes pleading: "Can you get one for me?"

To her surprise, Uesugi Tetsu nodded and explained the specific method: "It's very simple, just—"

Under Tamamo's expectant gaze, Uesugi Tetsu smiled and raised his finger.

"If you win the seeding tournament, you'll get a beautiful and clever knife—the Spider Cutter."

Uesugi Tetsu shrugged and expertly carried the water: "Although it's still not as good as Little Jia, it's still quite good."

Tamamo's face went blank upon hearing this, and she silently lowered her hands: "The seeded champion... there's absolutely no hope..."

She glanced at Yagyu Chi, who remained wary of her surroundings, sighed, and set a goal that was neither too big nor too small.

"We... well, if Liu Sheng can make it into the top 32 in the central region, that would be a success!"

But Yagyu Akira calmly retorted, as if stating a fact: "I will get that Spider Cutter."

Tamamo rolled her eyes and immediately waved her hand.

"How could anyone possibly get it?!"

She retorted, "Yagyu, you have no idea how many powerful figures there are in the Central Region! Don't even mention others, you couldn't even beat Uesugi-sama!"

Tamamo stuck out her tongue and made a face at him: "Instead of starting to fantasize, why don't you learn Uesugi-nii's flying sword technique first!"

"I must learn to fly sword, and I must also win the championship."

Yagyu Akira glanced at Uesugi Tetsuya, his eyes gleaming with a burning desire to learn.

Then he spoke clearly and calmly: "If you don't want to strive for first place, you'll never achieve it."

"If you don't even believe in yourself, knowing all your efforts, sweat, and hardships, then who can you expect to believe in you?"

Uesugi Tetsu smiled at him: "I like what you said... Besides, there's still a lot of time before the seeding battle, so it's not entirely impossible."

"Until the moment the battle ends, anything is still possible."

That's impossible.

Tamamo sighed softly, thinking helplessly to herself.

Because of her job position, no one knew the gap between the central government, namely Tokyo, and the local young geniuses better than her.

The difference is so vast that describing it as an insurmountable chasm would not be an exaggeration at all...

The brief conversation came to an end.

Next, as previously agreed, Uesugi Tetsu led the way, charging deeper into the tunnel.

That's right, it wasn't infiltration.

Instead, it was killing... or more accurately, "cleansing" would be a more vivid description.

Under Yagyu Akira's gaze, Uesugi Tetsu's internal energy and spiritual power seemed inexhaustible, easily unleashing a vast expanse to dissolve those weak demons.

It's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

But it seemed like the cannon had an endless supply of ammunition.

Confusing.

—Whether it's the bloody handprints appearing on the tunnel walls or the ghosts that suddenly emerge from various places.

She is still extremely dangerous; her cries can be heard before she is seen, and if placed in a city, she could kill hundreds or thousands of ordinary people in an instant with her cries.

They were all reduced to ashes by the intense, blazing energy, and by the lightning that made Yagyu Hatsune's hair stand on end just by looking at it.

It's obvious that Uesugi Tetsu's level has far exceeded the upper limit of this Juntō-gun tunnel; he's a high-level player who's just smurfing.

"However, these low-star demons really drop very few Soul Points..."

After Kaga Kiyomitsu delivered many more blows, Uesugi Tetsu stared at his Soul Points, which had only increased by a dozen or so points, and fell into deep thought.

Similar to handprints, the sheer number of low-star demons like the undead is so large that killing just one won't even give you a single soul point; you have to kill a whole group to gain one or two.

Moreover, they had been walking for almost half an hour, and Uesugi Tetsu had not yet found a second demon carrying eyeballs.

The five-eyed demon from before... now it should be called a three-eyed demon, it has never appeared again, not even leaving a trace.

I don't know where they went.

The only good news is that the headlamp that was recently revealed is quite good.

Standing deliberately to the side and in front, Uesugi Tetsuya stared at the bloody handprints that were nowhere to be seen under the illumination of his headlamp, raised his fingertips, and destroyed them with fragments of lightning.

—This headlamp is not only bright enough, but it can also illuminate all the demons and monsters within its range!

At least, that's how the user experience has been so far.

Tamamo, turning her head at a fixed frequency to ensure no part of the tunnel ahead was missed, clicked her tongue and poked Yagyu Akira beside her.

"Yagyu...are we really going to fight this monster?"

She first added a layer of armor: "It's not that I look down on you, it's just that we're really not on the same level at all."

"Just to my liking."

Yagyu Akira silently drew his sword, slaying the bewildered ghost that had emerged from the ground with a single strike: "Isn't it a good thing to have a tall mountain standing before you, allowing people to stop and climb?"

Tamamo opened her mouth after hearing this, and then clicked her tongue.

"I don't understand what you martial arts practitioners are thinking."

About twenty minutes later, Tamamo suddenly felt the bundle around her waist vibrate.

She immediately shouted:

"Brother Uesugi, this is it!"

Uesugi Tetsu looked around and found that there was nothing strange about this section of the tunnel.

Also, this Jundong County Tunnel is a bit too long... It seems that its abandonment has caused some subtle changes in the space inside.
