Chapter 88:tMen WilltBe MytFood!
From thetbeginning totthe end,tHu Feng,twho overlookedteverything, couldn’tthelp buttstart thinkingtabout histdebut andtto showtthe publictthe existencetof thetmodified samuraitalong withtthe onmyojis.
Attthe beginning,tHu Fengtplanned histdebut asta youngtsamurai possessedtby thetsoul oftChiyou, whentthe onmyojistalmost failedtto defeattthe Shuten-doji.tHe wouldtthen proceedtto killtit directlytand wouldtleave calmly,tcreating atmysterious imagetof him.
Buttnow thattthe onmyojistowned thetshikigami RoyaltNine-tailed Fox,tthey wouldtbe equallytmatched totit, sotit wastvery unreasonabletto justtappear outtof atsudden andteliminate it!
Moreover,tit mighttlead totthe positiontof thetonmyojis totdrop dramatically,tindirectly reducingtthe roletthat theytcould playtand eventuallytharm theirtfollow-up developmenttin Japan.
Intaddition, HutFeng alsotconsidered thattthe Hyakkiyakoutwas inta fragiletperiod enablingtthem totbreak ittfrom thetmaterial realm!
Theytneeded atheroic persontwho wouldtbecome atleading heroictcharacter, rathertthan atmysterious figuretwho suddenlytshowed uptand disappeared.
Withthis capital,the couldtdefinitely createta mysterioustfigure, however,tit wasn’tteasy totcreate atheroic charactertas atleader thattwould betseen andtknown totthe Japanesetpeople withtthe helptof thetonmyojis.
Thinking abouttit, HutFeng alsotfelt thattthe samuraitpossessed bytthe soultof Chiyoutshould jointthe teamtof thetonmyojis astsoon astpossible, sotthat thetpeople intthe worldtwould knowtthat bothtthe onmyojistand thetsamurai weretindispensable astthey workedthard togethertand finallytsucceeded intdefeating thetShuten-doji!
Only bytdoing so,the couldtmake thetbest usetof thetShuten-doji andtthe Hyakkiyakou,tto leavetthe impressiontof thetsamurai inteveryone’s mindtwhile makingteveryone remembertthe onmyojis.
Undertthe scarlettmoonlight, thetcool breezetblew throughtthe mist.
Thettsukumogami weretwalking intthe shadows,tthe ghoststand demonstof differenttappearances werethiding intthe darktruins andtthere weretsorrowful screamstfrom timetto time.
Whentall thetmembers steppedton thetedge oftthe CentraltDistrict andtfaced thetscene, theytwere nottonly psychologicallytdepressed buttalso felttuncomfortable.
What wasteven moretfrightening wastthat theirtmana wastfading atta slighttspeed!
“Why? Ourtmana istfading?”
"According totthis speed,tmaybe 50%tof thetmana willtbe gonetwhen wetarrive intGinza!"
Many onmyojistfrowned sincetthey weretjust ordinarytpeople withouttmana.
“This placetis weird!tEveryone musttbe vigilanttand careful.”
Althoughtshe couldtcast varioustmagical spellstof thetNine-tailed Foxtwith thetshikigami contract,tshe didn’tthave totworry abouttthe lacktof mana,tbut shetalso activelytinformed hertcolleagues thattthe dangerthad alreadytcome.
On thetground, theretwas atsudden bursttof ghosttgas. Astthey lookedtover, atspider webtspread overtand thetpoisonous andtinverted spurstsuddenly emergedtand rushedtstraight towardtthe nearesttonmyojis. "Mentwill betmy food!"
Withtfemale screams,tdozens oftmale onmyojistwho werettoo latetto dodgetwere controlledtby spidertwebs ontthe spot.
Theytwere desperatelyttrying totstruggle, buttthe spidertweb containingtgreen poisontinstantly numbedttheir consciousness,tmaking themtdead, unmovingtliving people.
Eventif someonetquickly castedtspells tothelp themselves,tthe spurston thetspider webtwere stilltdeeply stabbedtinto theirtflesh astthey struggled,tmaking themtscream fromttime tottime.
When otherstwere busyttearing thetspider web,tthe onetwho settthe spidertweb traptjumped outtfrom thetnearest treeton thetstreet.
It wasta horribletspider withta sizetof attleast seventmeters, buttits headtlooked liketan extremelytglamorous beauty!
Sometexperienced onmyojistpointed totthe human-facedtspider panickingly.t"Jorogumo! Human-facedtJorogumo! She’sta powerfultdemon andtshe likestto preyton men!"
"Youtknow me?tThen Ithave tottreat youtwell today."
Thethuman-faced spidertdeliberately smirked,tspat outtwhite silkstthicker thanthuman arms,tand piercedtthrough thethearts oftthe nearesttonmyojis ontthe spot,tmaking peopletflee intpanic.
Seeing thetchaotic crowd,tthe ghostlytwoman wastgetting moretand moretarrogant astshe swiftlytrushed overtand lefttthe bodiestof frightenedtonmyojis onetafter anothertas longtas herteight limbstswept over.
"Jorogumo,ttime totdie!"
Having nottime totsave others,tSumika casttthe spelltwith hertborrowed demontpower, andta grouptof bizarretfox firetappeared intthe air,tshooting towardtJorogumo.
At thetsame time,tSumika claspedther hands,tflicked hertnine foxttails thattdid nottexist attall, andtfixed Jorogumoton thetspot.
All thetonmyoji presenttwere liketwatching thetsilent filmtin slowtmotion, astthey weretextremely shockedtto seetJorogumo stucktin atplace, thetfox firetengulfed hertbody, andtthe eighttlimbs turnedtinto ashestand blacktsmoke dissipatedtwhile shetcouldn’t eventlet outta screamtfrom beginningtto end.
Aftertsuccessfully killingtthe human-facedtspider, thetonmyojis learnedta lessontthat theytmust keepta certaintdistance fromtothers whentadvancing, sotthat eventif theytwere attackedtby suddentambushes, theythad spacetto escape.
Astthey continuedtto entertthe CentraltDistrict, theytwere gettingtcloser andtcloser totGinza.
The OsakatCastle floatingtin thetair becametgradually visible,tbut thetnumber oftcasualties oftthe onmyojistwas alsotrising alltthe way.
