As Chu Yeshi's knife landed, a chilling silver-white light darted horizontally toward Zhiyao's neck. Fortunately, Zhiyao wasn't stunned by the blow, and his body reflexively leaned back and took a large step back, successfully avoiding the extremely dangerous situation. The reason why it was said to be extremely dangerous was that the tip of the samurai sword almost brushed against his neck, with only two or three millimeters between them and his skin. At this distance, Zhiyao could even feel the itch coming from the surface of his skin.

Who would have thought that before he could stand up again and was about to step back again to create distance, a force quickly hit Zhiyao's abdomen, causing him to fly backwards and fall to the ground. He endured the pain of intestinal spasm and looked forward, only then did he realize that he was kicked in the stomach by Himuro Shibazu. He then looked to the right area, about four or five meters away, and saw the Chu Yeya knife that was knocked away still glowing.

Chapter 58: [Fierce Battle]

When his peripheral vision returned to the front, Himuro Shibafune had already arrived in front of him, raising his samurai sword high.

Looking at the blade that was about to chop down, Zhiyao's mind was unprecedentedly focused, and his body rolled to the right reflexively. As he rolled, the blade just fell down, and the sharp blade left a conspicuous mark on the wooden floor.

After dodging the attack, Zhiyao glanced to the right again and noticed that he was about three or four meters away from the weapon.

At this distance, if he turned over and leaped forward, he could get it immediately. The disadvantage was that his back would be exposed to the enemy without any defense. Doing so in front of Himuro Shibafu, who had excellent skills, quick reactions and a wide attack range, was tantamount to seeking death.

Therefore, Zhiyao had no choice but to continue facing the enemy head-on, paying attention to the opponent's every move first, and then waiting for an opportunity to approach the direction of the weapon.

Of course, even if he successfully obtained the weapon, he didn't think he could deal with Himuro Shibasu.

Anyone with a little common sense knows how big the gap is between a dagger and a katana in a one-on-one head-on combat, not to mention a swordsman using a katana to fight against an ordinary person holding a dagger.

Fortunately, I still have companions.

During the confrontation between Zhiyao and Himuro Shibazu, Xiao Wuhui had already seized the opportunity to break away from the host's body, ran over to pick up the knife, and then returned to the host.

"Sikong."

There was a sound like wind chimes behind him. Zhiyao knew what was going on without even looking. He quietly reached his hand behind him, his eyes still looking straight ahead, to guard against any possible action from the opposite side.

During this period, Crimson and the other two also entered the battlefield.

Gudu helped Xiaomei, who was still in shock, up from the ground. Shenhong half-raised the camera, keeping a close eye on any movement.

After Xiaomei was away from the battlefield, the next moment, Gudu quickly raised his two palms and put them together, and began to use the witch's immobilization technique.

Her intuition told her that Himuro Shibafu was very powerful. If she used her techniques from the front, it would be the same as when she used them against Kirie, but now it was from behind, and she firmly believed that the success rate would be greatly improved. At the very least, she could freeze him for a few seconds, as long as her partner seized the opportunity.

As the spreading spiritual power quickly gathered, a layer of faint ripples appeared on the surface of Himuro Shibashu's body. The ripples rose and fell steadily, and Gu Du knew that the technique was successful.

"Sikong, move..." Gudu reminded hurriedly.

Unfortunately, just as he opened his mouth and made a sound, Himuro Shibazu sensed something was wrong and twisted his body a few times, breaking free from the restraints. He broke free so quickly that Koto didn't even have time to react.

As the caster, she naturally faced backlash and became the target of attack.

Seeing Himuro Shibafu rushing towards the ancient capital, Zhiyao secretly cried out in alarm and chased after him at full speed.

Fortunately, Gu Du was not alone, there was a Shen Hong standing next to him, ready for battle.

The dazzling incandescent light broke through the darkness, illuminating the surrounding area.

If the blue film is compared to a shotgun (this requires) a bullet (harmony?), which relies on the scattered spiritual factors to cause large-scale damage to the skin of the evil spirit, then the red film is like an RPG, which first hits the target with a high-speed cannonball and then explodes and spreads.

With just this one blow, Himuro Shibazu felt like being hit by a speeding car. He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

The landing location was not too far from him. Zhiyao thought that the opportunity had come and ran towards that direction at full speed.

Opportunity is fleeting, you must seize the opportunity.

Unfortunately, after running for a few steps, Himuro Shibazu got up and patted his chest with his hand, as if he was just brushing off dust. Zhiyao stopped immediately and three more wrinkles appeared between his brows.

He knew the power of the red film; a single shot could annihilate seven or eight Mekakuro shrine maidens. Yet, Himuro Shibafune, after taking a direct hit, merely stood up and dusted himself off? How on earth had Crimson managed to defeat such a terrifying monster and survive? Or perhaps, in countless parallel universes, only a handful of Crimsons made it through the game, while the rest perished at the hands of various evil spirits?

Zhiyao's palms were sweating as he gripped the hilt of the knife tightly. He steadily retreated until he met up with the girls.

"This...how is it possible?!" Gudu looked solemn and uneasy.

"It can't be completely ineffective." Crimson said as he fished out all the remaining red film and quickly reloaded it. "He just got blown away. This time I'll try getting closer and shooting right into his eyes."

Next to him, Zhiyao was rapidly turning over his brain cells, thinking of a countermeasure. When his gaze moved to the samurai sword, the countermeasure finally took shape.

"Kurosawa, can you bind a single part?"

"Hmm?" Gu Du didn't understand what he was referring to. After a few seconds, he realized, "You mean the hand holding the knife?"

"Yeah, that knife is keeping me from getting close. You need to stop waving your arms."

Local control, this kind of thing has never been tried in the ancient capital. "This... I'm not sure if it will work. And..."

For some reason, Gu Du hesitated to speak, and Zhi Yao immediately urged him impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it, hurry up!"

"It's hard to lock your arms when they're moving around."

How could Yao not understand the implied meaning of these words?

"No problem, I'll be in charge of controlling it, just focus on casting the spell."

"Why don't I do it?" Xiao Wuhui volunteered, "Sikong, you can't touch him casually. If you do, it will affect the brain and affect the action."

As soon as these words came out, Zhiyao seemed to remember something and reminded him, "No, as long as you are not in my body, it won't happen. I discovered it before in the secret country."

"Well...how about you lead him towards the pillar, I'll ambush him first, and then find an opportunity to grab his hand?" Not wanting to give up, Xiao Wuhui proposed.

"No, I won't allow you to take risks." Zhiyao flatly rejected it.

"Sikong, now is not the time to worry about romantic relationships."

"I don't care. You're my wife, and I won't allow you to take risks. I'll take them alone."

While they were arguing here, on the other side, Himuro Shibazu did not attack immediately. Instead, he raised his samurai sword straight above his head and drew a circle in the air.

When the blade was lowered, three skeletons appeared floating in the air beside Himuro Shibafune, and then ghostly blue fire began to spit out from the mouths of the skeletons. Soon the flames enveloped the entire skeleton.

Noticing this development, the quarrel stopped immediately.

Afterwards, as Himuro Shibafune pointed his katana straight forward, the skeletons began to fly towards the humans.

In terms of speed, the skeletons were not flying very fast. Zhiyao was confident that he could cut them in half without getting burned, but the difficulty lay in the fact that there were three skeletons, all of which could spit fire, and there was also Himuro Shibazu behind them who would not just stand there and watch the show.

The next moment, the three skeletons opened their mandibles at the same time, and three fist-sized blue fireballs flew straight towards this side.

"Don't gather in groups, spread out——!" Zhiyao opened her throat and gave orders.

As soon as the voice came out, Shenhong and Gudu immediately dispersed in different directions, while Zhiyao dodged to the sides, avoiding three fireballs in succession, and then quickly retreated.

But just as he retreated to the overturned low table, one of the skeletons opened its jaws again and another blue fireball flew towards him.

This time, Zhiyao simply grabbed the low table as a barrier, successfully blocking the fireball. However, in just a moment, Himuro Shibazu had already reached him, bringing him into attack range, and slashed at him with his sword. In panic, he continued to block the sword with the low table, and the table was split in two. He casually dropped the other half and felt the scorching heat on his left cheek again. He subconsciously glanced to the left and noticed the skeleton with blue flames approaching his face.

This thing won’t explode if it touches you, right?

In panic, he leaned his body back sharply, successfully avoiding the skeleton that was about to hit his face. However, when he moved his eyes back to the front, he saw a sharp cold light, so fast that he had no time to react. Then, he began to feel a sharp pain in his shoulder as if it were burning in fire.

When he looked at his shoulder, he found a small red area there, which should be the clothes stained with blood. He pressed the area around the wound and was surprised to find that the wound was pitch black. Not only that, his entire right arm also showed symptoms of weakness. It was not clear whether it was due to excessive blood loss or because the wound was black.

The only thing that is clear is one glance. If you delay any longer, you will definitely be doomed.

We have to think of a solution quickly.

"Hinasaki, use your camera to take pictures of the skeleton!" Zhiyao loudly reminded Shenhong, switching to holding the knife in his left hand, and then added, "Use blue film."

As soon as he finished speaking, Himuro Shibazu stepped forward again. Zhiyao did not dare to fight and hurriedly retreated towards the pillar. After reaching the destination, he first avoided the attack in a thrilling manner, then rushed behind the pillar and circled with Himuro Shibazu.

Elsewhere, Shenhong, having switched to blue film, saw the fire skeletons drifting toward Zhiyao. Risking being spotted by Himuro Shibafune, she quickly ran over and snapped the shutter at each of the three skeletons. The skeletons then shook violently, as if struck by a heavy object, before shifting their focus and rushing toward Shenhong. Shenhong, observing this, first retreated a considerable distance, then, once all three skeletons were within range, raised her camera and snapped the shutter.

In this way, the three skeletons were completely targeting Shenhong, and Shenhong quickly retreated to a farther place in order to completely lead them away from Zhiyao.

In the distance, Shenhong used his nimble steps to maneuver around three skeletons, sometimes dodging incoming blue fireballs, sometimes snapping back. Meanwhile, Zhiyao was still circling the pillar with Bingshi Shibashu Qinwang.

"Where are you looking at your mother?!"

Zhiyao noticed that Himuro Shibazu was looking at Shenhong, so she used abusive language to attract his attention.

"Dad is right here, but I just can't catch him. Aren't you angry, grandson? Oh, and I'm going to marry your relative, Himuro Kirie. Your house will belong to me, too. I'm also going to go to your grave every Qingming Festival to dance. You, a loser, can only be helpless and furious. Hahahaha."

But for some reason, Himuro Shibazu did not show any signs of being angry. Thinking that perhaps the sarcasm was not strong enough, Zhiyao began to weave more provocative sentences in her mind.

"Don't waste your energy. A mad person can't hear you." Xiao Wuhui reminded him in his mind.

"Really? Why do I feel like he's gritting his teeth in anger behind the mask?"

I don’t know how long it took, but perhaps because he realized that it was futile to continue circling, Himuro Shibazu turned towards Shenhong, and this time he didn’t look back no matter how Zhiyao provoked him.

Seeing that he was determined to go over, Zhiyao hurriedly and loudly reminded Shenhong to be careful, and then he burst out with the fastest speed in his life and rushed towards Himuro Shibafu from behind, intending to stab him when he was caught off guard.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a feint.

As soon as he approached and swung his knife-wielding hand, Himuro Shibazu suddenly turned around and hit the back of his hand with the back of the knife, causing the weapon to be knocked away again.

Back to fighting with weapons bare-handed again, Zhiyao couldn't help but get nervous. He quickly retreated a long distance and was about to hide behind the nearest pillar, but he saw Himuro Shibafune bending over with his knees bent, his samurai sword across his waist, in an Iai stance.

Zhiyao had no idea whether he would release sword energy or swing his body instantly. The only thing he knew for sure was that he was within the attack range and in a very dangerous situation.

At this moment, when Himuro Shibasu was about to swing his sword, Xiaomei, who had left the battlefield earlier, had somehow found her way behind Himuro Shibasu, pounced on his back, and bit him hard on the back of his neck, successfully interrupting his attack.

This little girl, who was just frightened and unable to move, probably mustered up all the courage in her life.

Seeing Himuro Shibasu grab Xiaomei's hair with her backhand, her attention was diverted from this place. Xiao Wuhui immediately broke out of her host body and rushed forward to grab Himuro Shibasu's knife-holding hand, then bit the back of his hand with her teeth to force him to let go and throw away the weapon. Zhiyao originally planned to take this opportunity to pick up the weapon, but when she saw Xiaomei was easily thrown away and Xiao Wuhui was about to lose control, she rushed forward and knocked Himuro Shibasu down, then locked the knife-holding arm with both hands. Xiaomei joined in again, biting the other hand.

If I don't help, Xiao Wuhui's life will be in danger, so let Gudu pick up the weapons. That girl must want this.

He was not wrong. When he hugged Himuro Shibafune, Koto had already started running towards the weapon. Now he had successfully arrived and was ready to bend down to pick it up.

However, no one expected that just when Gu Du was about to touch the knife, a white hand suddenly appeared next to him, and then that hand picked up the knife first.

Chapter 59: [Unexpected Person]

The weapon right in front of him was suddenly picked up by someone. Gu Du was caught off guard and raised his head subconsciously, and then saw that there was a young woman in front of him.

The woman had fair skin and beautiful looks, with rare silver-gray hair, and her clothing was not like that of modern people. Gu Du therefore interpreted her as the ghost of Himuro Mansion. What caught Gu Du's attention even more were the two amber-colored, asymmetrical decorations on the woman's forehead.

Just as I was about to ask the other party for something, I suddenly heard a little girl shouting from behind.

Gu Du hurriedly looked back and found that Xiaomei was thrown out by Himuro Shibafune, while Zhiyao and Xiao Wuhui were still entangled.

The situation had become critical. Gudu didn't dare to waste any more time and snatched the weapon directly from the young woman. The young woman did not resist and let Gudu take the weapon from her hand. She then calmly watched Gudu leave in a hurry.

In an instant, the ancient capital arrived.

"Stab him!" Zhiyao yelled.

"Hey?!"

Gu Du was immediately shocked. She had never done such a thing as stabbing anyone.

However, after seeing Zhiyao using both arms to tightly grip Himuro Shibashu's right arm, with a lot of blood flowing from her shoulder and a look of struggling to hold on, she finally understood why she was asked to do it.

In an instant, she recovered from her daze, gritted her teeth, held the knife in her backhand, and stabbed Himuro Shibafune in the abdomen with all her strength.

Unfortunately, before the knife could reach its target, a tremendous force slammed into Gudu's stomach, causing her internal organs to rupture in pain. Then, her body flew backward uncontrollably, unable to get up after landing. Meanwhile, Zhiyao also reached his limit and was freed by Himuro Shibafune. Afterwards, he and Xiao Wuhui were thrown back by the strange force one after another.

This time, Himuro Shibazu didn't seem to be willing to give Xiao Wuhui a chance to breathe. As soon as he got up, he took three or two steps to the nearest Xiao Wuhui, raised his knife and prepared to give a fatal blow.

Seeing this scene, Zhiyao's mind went pale, and he burst out at the fastest speed in his life, rushing in between the two people and pounced on Xiao Wuhui.

The blood-stained katana was about to fall. On the other side, Crimson was rushing in this direction, about three meters away from the effective range of the camera.

In the blink of an eye, just as the samurai sword was about to chop down, a bright golden light flew straight towards Himuro Shibafune in the dark night. Himuro Shibafune felt something pushing his body hard, and he staggered and staggered back several steps. He looked at his chest and noticed the amber knife stuck there. He then looked straight ahead reflexively, and what caught his eye was the slender figure that had appeared in the lord's shrine at some point, but was already close at hand.

As the young woman kicked him hard in the abdomen, Himuro Shibazu, who was already standing unsteadily, fell to the ground. He endured the unimaginable pain and pulled the knife out of his chest. Just as he stood up, he saw Shenhong appear beside him, and the three fire skulls had disappeared.

「Click」

With the lens and the stab wound only three or five fists away, Shenhong pressed the shutter.

Although blue film was used, it was still very effective for the wound. Himuro Shibazu groaned in pain and his body shook violently. Seeing this, Shenhong pressed the shutter several times in succession, forcing Himuro Shibazu to retreat repeatedly, his body shaking and about to fall. The young woman seized the opportunity to pick up the knife on the ground, took a step forward, and stabbed the knife straight into Himuro Shibazu's throat.

Although this was the first time for the two to work together, the process was smooth as silk. Himuro Shibazu was repeatedly injured, and even his katana fell to the ground. Taking this opportunity, Shenhong quickly changed the film to red, aimed at the knife wound on the chest and pressed the shutter.

The incandescent light rang out along with the sound of a shutter, and the spiritual power cannonball hit the bull's eye.

The wound that was originally cracked in a dark blue straight line suddenly turned into a large, distorted and blurred area. In addition, the huge impact force blew the target person away.

After this fall, Himuro Shibafune was no longer able to rise as calmly as before. Exhausted, he struggled on the ground, then used his palms to support himself and managed to sit up. But that was all he could do, because the next moment, a sharp cold light pierced his neck, tearing his body apart and sending his head falling to the ground. It was the young woman who decapitated him, using the same samurai sword he had used to slaughter the Himuro family.

The lord used this knife to end his own life, but he never expected that it would be the same knife that destroyed his soul after his death.

How sad.

……

The soul body melted into the void, and Himuro Shibazu disappeared like a bubble in the sky. Several things were left behind where he disappeared. Shenhong looked carefully and found that in addition to the fragments of the divine mirror, there was also the evil ghost mask he wore, the samurai sword he used, and a palm-sized bottle.

My intuition tells me that there is something good in the crimson bottle. Maybe it is the sacred water that Xiao Wuhui mentioned.
