Chapter 82: One Man and One Demon
Sumika felt saw a barren mountain ridge under the bright moonlight and everything felt like a movie documentary, appeared in her sight.
The frost spread all over the grass, the little firebugs flew in the air, the cool breeze in the mountains blew slowly and the hem of an onmyoji in a white hunting suit, with a black crown fluttered in the open space of the forest.
From her angle, she couldn't see the face of the onmyoji, but it made her more conscious.
"What happened? I was enjoying the 8-footed Jade in the main hall of the Imperial Palace! How did I come to this strange place? Am I dreaming?"
Shocked, Sumika was desperately trying to wake herself up, but even if she realized that she was ‘dreaming’, her angle was completely unchanged and she still couldn’t wake up. The surrounding scenery looked extraordinarily realistic, she even heard the chirpings and the whirrs of insects in the forest.
Struggling for a long time but in vain, Sumika could only comfort herself and began to look around.
No matter how hard she tried, there was no valuable discovery except the back of the onmyoji and the nearby mountains and forests.
Sumika also tried to touch the onmyoji and even the surrounding scenery, but she could only touch the air as she reached out, as if she and everything else wasn’t in the same dimension, which was very frustrating.
After a while, the cold wind became stronger and the bushes creaked.
At the same time, a figure in the north direction dashed close toward her.
As the figure came closer, it turned out that she was a stunning beauty wearing a magnificent royal dress. She came to her without hesitation and she looked faintly sorrowful and lonely from her face.
"We have reached this point, are you still unwilling to let me go?" Dozens of meters away from the onmyoji, the beauty stopped and said.
"It’s your destiny."
The onmyoji answered indifferently.
"You should know that we’re equally good in terms of strength. If you insist on making me stay, aren’t you afraid that you will die here too?"
The feminine and affection on her face faded away, replaced by a solemn warning and she showed her nine fluffy tails under her skirt.
The nine tails were sometimes scattered like a petal and sometimes gathered together.
Under the bright night moonlight, although she kept a straight face, she looked very beautiful as her glamorous tails were shining.
"Oh?"
As if hearing the funniest joke, the onmyoji sneered and asked.
"I really want to know how much combat power you still have after being besieged by the army and the major shrines. Nine-tailed Fox."
"Nine-tailed Fox? She is Nine-tailed Fox?!" Staring at the stunning beauty, she couldn't believe what she heard.
“Abe no Seimei, you're playing with fire!”
Exhaling, a thick mist suddenly surrounded her, but it was dispersed quickly.
Sumika quickly looked over, but she couldn’t find the beauty and there was only a jade-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox standing in the same place.
The nine tails scattered and the blood-red pupils faintly showed her humanized anger.
"Abe no Seimei?"
Sumika only felt that her throat was dry and the simple same seemed so heavy that made her unable to breath.
If she was dreaming, wasn’t she personally experiencing the most mysterious Heian Era in Japanese folklore - the history of the great onmyoji Abe no Seimei conquering the Nine-tailed Fox by the order of the emperor?
Thinking of this, Sumika did not dare to blink her eyes and quickly looked at them fighting.
Different bloodthirsty beasts rushed over toward Abe no Seimei as she roared.
"The Nine-tailed Fox was known as one of the three strongest demons in Japan, but your useless demon power can only cast some small spells to charm the herd?"
Leaping gently, Abe no Seimei’s figure shuttled through the herd and he rushed over the Nine-tailed Fox elegantly. "If this is the case, you are destined to stay here today."
The Nine-tailed Fox seemed to turn a deaf ear to him and accelerated in the opposite direction.
Even some of the little fox enchanted by the demon power of the Nine-tailed Fox hid in the herd and attacked him, they were stopped by the spells that he threw over gently.
Noticing that she couldn't run away, the Nine-tailed Fox bit the tip of her tongue to consume her remaining mana and rolled over on the spot.
In an instant, hundreds of identical jade-faced golden-haired nine-tailed foxes appeared, and they fled away toward every direction in an instant.
Not going to chase any of the nine-tailed foxes, Abe no Seimei took out one stuff from his arms and threw it out decisively.
Sumika had widened her eyes and increased her concentration to her limit, but even then, she could only see a white light flashing through the air and the white light quickly returned to the hands of Abe no Seimei.
One of the fleeing nine-tailed foxes in front of the right side suddenly let out a sharp scream, and its ears and eyes were already bleeding, but it could only cover its head and lay on the ground motionless.
Cough!
The Nine-tailed Fox coughed and vomited a large amount of blood, exclaiming in an incredible tone, "The 8-footed Jade…...the emperor was so willing to give you the national treasure?"
"Of course, ordinary people can't get it, but I am different."
Self-deprecatingly laughing, Abe no Seimei walked to her side quickly, condescending without a trace of feelings and seemed to be pondering about how to deal with her.
"You charmed the emperor, owned a harem, damaged the society and created disaster. I am not going to kill you because you don’t deserve a dignified death."
Being sized up like a dead body and hearing that the other party wanted to torture her, the Nine-tailed Fox, who had never suffered from humiliation, felt that her self-esteem was trampled!
She stared at him, gnawed her teeth and said. "Abe no Seimei, don't you think that you can slice me up even if I have no mana now? You can't trample on my dignity!"
