"I'm sorry, Lord Setsuna." Rick was still very polite: "Everything is arranged by the Lord. In order to create a better world, your sacrifice is necessary."
"What are you talking about!" Li Muzhi had no good feelings towards this mysterious riddler. He wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Tsuchimikado Setsuna. She smiled and said, "Did you set up the barrier outside?"
"Yes." Rick nodded: "After all, our goal is to elevate mankind. If possible, we don't want to cause too much chaos."
"Including absorbing the energy of everyone here?" Tsuchimikado Setsuna smiled and narrowed his eyes: "This barrier is a small barrier that you rely on under the Tokyo barrier. It is not very friendly to ordinary people."
"As expected of you, the current head of the Tsuchimikado family." Rick nodded, with a sincere look on his face: "This is a necessary sacrifice on the road to a great goal."
"Psycho." The demonic power emanated from Li Muzhi's hands, and white flames formed cyclones at his fists. After practicing for a period of time today, he has become more and more proficient in controlling the demonic arts.
If this so-called barrier would harm ordinary people, then my aunt and senior would be in great danger, and we must rescue them quickly.
"Leave this to me." Tsuchimikado Setsuna said with a smile, "You should have something else you want to do."
"Okay." He nodded. He had full confidence in Setsuna's strength. If she couldn't handle her, he would just cause more trouble if he stayed. He didn't act pretentiously and just jumped out of the window. Now his aunt and senior schoolmate were the ones he needed to protect.
Rick had no intention of stopping him from leaving and just stood there watching.
It was not until Li Muzhi disappeared from the window that Tsuchimikado Setsuna smiled and said, "You don't seem to care at all about him leaving?"
"His name is Li Muzhi, and he has some secrets that we cannot see through." Rick closed his eyes and continued, "Although I also want to fight him, but for the sake of certainty, his opponent is the strongest among us, Shenchuan Hai."
"Oh~ It seems that you have a lot of companions." Tsuchimikado Setsuna continued to ask.
"Although it's not a sophisticated trick of asking questions, I can give you a definite answer, yes." Rick waved his hand and the surrounding walls suddenly exploded. The steel bars inside burst out and formed an iron net made of steel bars in front of him.
"As you can see, my ability is to control magnetism through spiritual power. With the blessing of our Paradise Church's holy relics, my power can destroy a building in an instant. The firearms you are good at will have no chance of being used under the control of magnetism. Everything is certain."
"It looks like fun." Tsuchimikado Setsuna put his hands in his jacket pockets, smiling, "It's a big price to pay for interrupting my time with my child."
On the other side, Arima Yanobu looked at the figure behind him and grinned: "I'm in a bad mood, you came at the right time!"
"Looks like I'm lucky." A purple cross shone on Taichiro Okamoto's body, wrapping his entire body in just a moment, turning him into a warrior like on an ancient battlefield, holding a two-meter-long giant naginata in his hand.
"No, it's just bad luck." Arima Yanobu grinned.
In the school corridor, Fujiwara Ayumu knelt on the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound, and looked at the man in a suit in front of him with a look of surprise: "Big demon?!"
"You can call me Shenchuan Hai~" Shenchuan Hai said with a smile: "Tell me, where is that kid named Li Muzhi?"
"You..." Before Fujiwara Ayumu could even open his mouth, his head tilted and he fainted.
"Alala, it seems I was too heavy-handed." Shenchuan Hai stood up with a look of regret, and his arm turned into a sharp blade.
Chapter 123 Who is the prey?
Shenchuan Hai did not slash down with his blade, but turned his head to look behind him. At the same time, his arm returned to its original position. A figure walked out from there. She had a super S-curve and was wearing a pair of black high heels. Her steps made a "tapping" sound on the ground.
"Hey, do you know why everyone here fainted?" Cangchuan Qingshui frowned and asked Shenchuan Hai who was squatting on the ground.
"Interesting, an ordinary person born with powerful spiritual power, who is not affected by the magic circle." Shenchuan Hai stood up, his eyes swept over Cangchuan Qingshui, and saw that she was wearing a teacher's uniform, and smiled kindly: "Do you know a student named Li Muzhi?"
When Cangchuan Qingshui heard Li Muzhi's name, he narrowed his eyes and frowned, "I know him. Do you have anything to do with him?"
"Yes, this matter is related to him." Shenchuan Hai said with a smile: "Can you take me to find him?"
"Okay~" Cangchuan Qingshui was very easy to talk to. He agreed and turned around and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to find him."
"Thank you, I will repay you well." Shenchuan Hai looked at her perfect body curve when she turned around, licked his tongue, and a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. The poor woman in front of him had no idea how terrible thing she was about to encounter.
When Cangchuan Qingshui turned around, the corners of his mouth curled up in a strange arc.
On the other side, Li Muzhi encountered trouble. Looking at the blonde woman standing straight in front of him, a gust of wind blew up a strand of her hair.
"Rihe Fangxu!" Li Muzhi's face looked ugly, and cyclones formed by white flames appeared in his hands.
The person standing there was none other than Hitsuuru Fangxu, who had come to the hospital with Taichiro Okamoto a few days ago but failed to catch him. Today she was still wearing a well-fitting men's suit, with no expression on her face.
This is not a novel, so there is naturally no possibility of convincing the other party by talking. The only thing you need to do now is to defeat the opponent in front of you and then save your aunt and senior schoolmate.
There was not much time to be tied up here, and Li Muzhi attacked with all his strength.
His figure disappeared in an instant like a flash of lightning. He concentrated all his strength on his fists and rushed straight towards the target with white flames. Wherever he went, the white flames burned a charred mark on the ground.
Hikari Fangxu frowned slightly, and it was obvious that she was also frightened by the sudden burst of demonic power. However, she did not panic at all. She turned around and tapped the ground lightly with her feet. In a very standard dodging posture, she jumped out of the attack range of the flames.
At the same time, he said, "I am surprised at the extent of your improvement in strength. No wonder Shenchuan Hai was sent to be your opponent. However, your accuracy in controlling your strength..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw a leg wrapped in white flames kicking towards her at a speed at least twice as fast as before. Due to the sudden acceleration, even she could not react and had no time to dodge.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Hikari Fangxu was kicked flying backwards.
"Hu...Hu..." Li Muzhi was panting heavily, with veins bulging on his forehead at this moment, and he was in the same state as when he fought with Arima Yashiro. After learning about the existence of the Paradise Cult, he was not idle, but had been practicing secretly. This state was equivalent to releasing the demonic power in his body all at once, and both his strength and speed would be greatly improved, but he could not fight continuously, so he needed to end the battle quickly.
Looking at Hikari Fangxu who was kicked away by him, his face looked a little ugly. It seemed that the battle would not end so easily.
I saw Hikari Fangxu squatting in a half-squatting position, holding a western-style two-handed sword in her hand, with white flames burning on the sword. It was obvious that in the last moment, she turned her spiritual power into a sword and blocked most of the damage.
Tsuchimikado Setsuna once explained to him in detail the difference between spiritual power and demonic power.
Spiritual power is a kind of power hidden in everyone's body. It has no attributes and can be increased through hard practice. The simplest way to use it is to release it from the body like Fujiwara Ayumu did, forming a solid armor on the body to increase attack and defense power.
Of course, over a long period of time, humans have developed all kinds of fancy secret techniques based on this, such as Rick who has just appeared, who controls magnetism through spiritual power, or some Onmyoji families, who use various secret techniques that are passed down from generation to generation in the family. Some secret techniques are constantly being lost, and new ones are constantly being developed.
Spiritual power is like a universal energy source that can change into various shapes depending on the user.
Demonic power is the complete opposite. It is a unique and strange talent and skill. For example, as a succubus, the senior sister is born with the ability to open dreams, and the growth of demonic power will make her dreams more real, and will not give birth to other irrelevant abilities.
Moreover, monster abilities can only be passed down among purebred monsters. Unlike humans, monsters do not need to learn. Talent is something engraved in their souls. Therefore, under the same strength, monsters are often stronger than humans. However, it cannot be stopped that human power can be passed down and tools can be used. Therefore, this world is absolutely dominated by humans.
The white flame that Li Muzhi is using now is a strange power. He is using demonic power, although no one knows why he, as a human being, can use demonic power.
According to Tsuchimikado Setsuna, it was because their ancestor Abe Haruaki signed a contract with the great demon nine-tailed fox that he gained the power of the nine-tailed fox fire, which changed the genetic structure of their clan.
However, only the successive heads of the Togumo clan can use fox fire, and they only start to use demonic power after accepting the position of clan head. Before that, they all use spiritual power like normal clan members.
It turns out that your gene mutation is targeting people. So Li Muzhi didn't believe a word of her words. Shanshan was definitely fooling him. But this is not important. The key point is to learn how to use the demon power from her.
Hikari Fangxu slowly stood up, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, and made an attacking gesture: "I'm sorry, I underestimated you, I will go all out next time."
"Wait!" Li Muzhi quickly reached out to stop him. He needed time to recover from the outburst just now, so he said, "I don't think you are a bad person. Are you also doing this for the Human Ascension Plan?"
Hizuru Fangxu frowned, a little unhappy about being interrupted before the battle, but still said honestly: "Miss's goal is my goal."
This is an honest child, Li Mu concluded. With this interruption, he felt his body recover a little. He put his hands forward and the white fox fire appeared again: "Come on..."
On the other side, Arima Yanobu crossed his hands and took the horizontal blow from the huge naginata. The concrete floor where his feet were standing made a cracking sound and his whole body was sunken a little.
"You get the feeling, don't you?" Okamoto Taichiro held the naginata in one hand and the cross on his chest with the other: "This is the power of my one hand. With the blessing of the sacred stone, I have the strength to rival the great demons."
After saying that, he raised his hand upwards, and the huge naginata made a sound of breaking through the air. He swung it in the air and held the handle of the naginata with both hands: "Next, I will let you experience the insurmountable gap in strength. Your attack can't even break my armor. What we are carrying is not something that a playful guy like you can understand."
“Hehe.” Arima Yashiro still grinned and licked his tongue: “That guy is more fun after all!”
On the other side, the entire wall of the school health room was blown open.
Tsuchimikado Setsuna jumped back from the broken hole and landed lightly on the ground in his indoor shoes, holding a pistol in his hand and looking up at the broken wall above.
Rick stepped on a large steel net and jumped out of the broken wall. He stood not far from her, 1 meter in the air, with his body straight, holding a Bible in one hand and a cross inlaid with purple gemstone in the other.
"Lord Tsuchimikado, please stop resisting fearlessly. Everything is arranged by God, and everyone should accept their fate."
"Bang, bang, bang!" Tsuchimikado fired three bullets in succession.
Rick raised one hand, and the three bullets stopped in front of him as if they were stilled.
Chapter 124: Remember to Speak Human Language in Your Next Life
"Give up." Rick stood in the air, his palm facing up, and three bullets instantly turned their heads towards Tsuchimikado Setsuna: "Accepting the fate arranged by the Lord for yourself is also a tone, Lord Setsuna, although our beliefs are different, I believe you can understand."
"Is that so~" Tsuchimikado Setsuna kept smiling, put the pistol in his pocket, and looked at Rick in the sky: "How many guys like you are there?"
"It's not a brilliant rhetoric, but it doesn't hurt to tell you." Rick put one hand behind his back and said calmly, "There are 12 companions of my level, and above them are 4 strong men personally selected by the deputy leader. Let me explain it more clearly. These 4 people have powers of a different dimension from ours. One of these four people, Shenchuan Hai, will complete the mission with us this time. He has strength that is not weaker than that of a great demon."
After that, he bowed to Tsuchimikado Setsuna and continued, "So, Lord Setsuna, can you accept your destiny? Although you are the head of the Tsuchimikado family that has been passed down for thousands of years, this is how the world is. The old forces will one day be replaced by new forces."
"Aha~" Tsuchimikado Setsuna yawned with one hand, "I thought something fun would happen, it's more fun than checking my child's body."
After saying that, he raised one hand, made a pistol gesture with his thumb and index finger, and dubbed: "biu~"
"What are you doing..." Rick showed displeasure on his face. He had just said halfway when he suddenly felt a sound of breaking air behind him. All his energy was focused on Tsuchimikado Setsuna in front of him, and he had no time to turn around and see what was behind him.
In a panic, he used the steel bars under his feet to form an iron net behind him.
However, this iron net did not provide any defense. It was torn apart like paper in an instant, and the unknown attack hit his back directly.
His chest exploded from back to front, spurting out a burst of blood. Rick could no longer control his movements and fell from the sky. He hit the ground with a "bang" sound, splashing a cloud of dust.
He covered his chest with one hand, but the injury was too severe to stop the bleeding. He used up the last bit of his spiritual power to pull the thing that hit him out of the ground.
This is a simple armor-piercing bullet, generally used for long-range shooting with high-powered sniper rifles. No wonder the defense net made of steel bars did not play any role at all.
"Wow..." Rick spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed at Tsuchimikado Setsuna with a trembling finger. If eyes could kill, she would have been killed countless times.
As a magnetic controller, he could have controlled the bullet. However, he did not expect that the current god of a thousand-year-old Onmyoji family would be so despicable as to let someone use a sniper rifle to attack her from a distance. Moreover, he had fallen into a misconception from the beginning, thinking that she would not use firearms again after trying a pistol and failing.
He pointed for a long time and finally fell to the ground with a plop, his eyes wide open. He felt unwilling to the end.
"You are still too young." Tsuchimikado Setsuna adjusted his glasses and looked at Rick lying on the ground: "Remember to speak human language in your next life."
"Roar!!" A deafening roar sounded from a distance. Tsuchimikado Setsuna covered his ears with his hands and looked in the direction of the sound with a smile.
At this time, Taichiro Okamoto was no longer as calm as before. He was breathing heavily, and trying to use the cross to restore the black armor on his body. However, the purple gem on it no longer had the original luster and looked extremely dim.
A huge stick-shaped object came crashing down from the sky. Taichiro Okamoto gritted his teeth and leaped back, barely avoiding the attack range, but the strong wind created by the stick-shaped weapon still caused pain on his face.
This was a huge mace about 2 meters long. When it hit the ground, it instantly created a huge dent in the ground and caused gravel to fly everywhere.
"Come on, let's fight!" The three-meter-tall Arima Yanobu lifted the weapon, which was taller than a normal person, with one hand. It was as easy as a feather in his hand, and he danced it in the air playfully like playing whack-a-mole.
Okamoto Taichiro had already used up all his strength in dodging, not to mention counterattacking. He had no idea why the situation changed so quickly. He was completely crushed, and was directly crushed by all-round values: "What kind of training did you do to become so strong!"
"Practice?" Arima Yashiro waved his mace and grinned, "What the hell is that? If you eat well every day, you will become stronger!"
After saying that, he smashed the mace in his hand again, and a huge crack appeared on the ground again, extending all the way in front of Taichiro Okamoto, causing him to stagger and lose his balance.
The sound of fighting on this side also reached Hikari Fangxu and Li Muzhi on the other side.
Li Muzhi was breathing heavily, and the ground around him showed signs of being burned by fox fire, but Rihe Fangxu was still standing in the same place. The ground about 1 meter away from her was still intact, and her hands were tightly holding the two-handed sword in a very standard posture.
The fighting power she displayed was not that strong, and her moves were mediocre, even a bit rigid, but she was able to defend against Li Muzhi's attacks every time, like an insurmountable mountain without any flaws.
He was sure that his body, under the explosion of demonic power, had instantly reached a speed far beyond the limit of the naked eye, but it was still completely blocked by Hikari Fangxu in front of him.
