Chapter 88: Men Will Be My Food!

From the beginning to the end, Hu Feng, who overlooked everything, couldn’t help but start thinking about his debut and to show the public the existence of the modified samurai along with the onmyojis.

At the beginning, Hu Feng planned his debut as a young samurai possessed by the soul of Chiyou, when the onmyojis almost failed to defeat the Shuten-doji. He would then proceed to kill it directly and would leave calmly, creating a mysterious image of him.

But now that the onmyojis owned the shikigami Royal Nine-tailed Fox, they would be equally matched to it, so it was very unreasonable to just appear out of a sudden and eliminate it!

Moreover, it might lead to the position of the onmyojis to drop dramatically, indirectly reducing the role that they could play and eventually harm their follow-up development in Japan.

In addition, Hu Feng also considered that the Hyakkiyakou was in a fragile period enabling them to break it from the material realm!

They needed a heroic person who would become a leading heroic character, rather than a mysterious figure who suddenly showed up and disappeared.

With his capital, he could definitely create a mysterious figure, however, it wasn’t easy to create a heroic character as a leader that would be seen and known to the Japanese people with the help of the onmyojis.

Thinking about it, Hu Feng also felt that the samurai possessed by the soul of Chiyou should join the team of the onmyojis as soon as possible, so that the people in the world would know that both the onmyojis and the samurai were indispensable as they worked hard together and finally succeeded in defeating the Shuten-doji!

 

Only by doing so, he could make the best use of the Shuten-doji and the Hyakkiyakou, to leave the impression of the samurai in everyone’s mind while making everyone remember the onmyojis.

Under the scarlet moonlight, the cool breeze blew through the mist.

The tsukumogami were walking in the shadows, the ghosts and demons of different appearances were hiding in the dark ruins and there were sorrowful screams from time to time.

When all the members stepped on the edge of the Central District and faced the scene, they were not only psychologically depressed but also felt uncomfortable.

What was even more frightening was that their mana was fading at a slight speed!

“Why? Our mana is fading?”

“According to this speed, maybe 50% of the mana will be gone when we arrive in Ginza!”

Many onmyojis frowned since they were just ordinary people without mana.

“This place is weird! Everyone must be vigilant and careful.”

Although she could cast various magical spells of the Nine-tailed Fox with the shikigami contract, she didn’t have to worry about the lack of mana, but she also actively informed her colleagues that the danger had already come.

On the ground, there was a sudden burst of ghost gas. As they looked over, a spider web spread over and the poisonous and inverted spurs suddenly emerged and rushed straight toward the nearest onmyojis. “Men will be my food!”

With female screams, dozens of male onmyojis who were too late to dodge were controlled by spider webs on the spot.

They were desperately trying to struggle, but the spider web containing green poison instantly numbed their consciousness, making them dead, unmoving living people.

Even if someone quickly casted spells to help themselves, the spurs on the spider web were still deeply stabbed into their flesh as they struggled, making them scream from time to time.

When others were busy tearing the spider web, the one who set the spider web trap jumped out from the nearest tree on the street.

It was a horrible spider with a size of at least seven meters, but its head looked like an extremely glamorous beauty!

Some experienced onmyojis pointed to the human-faced spider panickingly. “Jorogumo! Human-faced Jorogumo! She’s a powerful demon and she likes to prey on men!”

“You know me? Then I have to treat you well today.”

The human-faced spider deliberately smirked, spat out white silks thicker than human arms, and pierced through the hearts of the nearest onmyojis on the spot, making people flee in panic.

Seeing the chaotic crowd, the ghostly woman was getting more and more arrogant as she swiftly rushed over and left the bodies of frightened onmyojis one after another as long as her eight limbs swept over.

“Jorogumo, time to die!”

Having no time to save others, Sumika cast the spell with her borrowed demon power, and a group of bizarre fox fire appeared in the air, shooting toward Jorogumo.

At the same time, Sumika clasped her hands, flicked her nine fox tails that did not exist at all, and fixed Jorogumo on the spot.

All the onmyoji present were like watching the silent film in slow motion, as they were extremely shocked to see Jorogumo stuck in a place, the fox fire engulfed her body, and the eight limbs turned into ashes and black smoke dissipated while she couldn’t even let out a scream from beginning to end.

After successfully killing the human-faced spider, the onmyojis learned a lesson that they must keep a certain distance from others when advancing, so that even if they were attacked by sudden ambushes, they had space to escape.

As they continued to enter the Central District, they were getting closer and closer to Ginza.

The Osaka Castle floating in the air became gradually visible, but the number of casualties of the onmyojis was also rising all the way.
