But it was useless, with preparation, Isayama would not be hit.
Her body was something other than human, and could be twisted into completely unimaginable angles.
Besides, even if you get stabbed, the wound will heal immediately.
Taking two steps back, Gui Zhu distanced himself and put his long sword back at his waist. Then he took a step forward!
Instant kill, sword-drawing technique!
It passed by in a flash, too fast for the retina to capture.
For a human being, this is already the peak limit. Speed, strength, and skills are close to the level of Tao. With one slash of the sword, Isayama's upper body and lower body were separated.
Cut in half!
Isayama's face remained stunned, as if he couldn't accept that he would fail.
Then--
"I lied to you."
Isayama swung the sickle down, and smiled, his body that was cut in half was restored again. It was useless even if his body was cut in two.
Gui Zhulan realized that she was really facing an immortal. The long sword and sickle collided again, and she lost her balance and was thrown backwards.
The opponent has great strength, and it seems like he will never use up all his strength from the beginning until now.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is it already useless? That's why creatures like humans are so weak and pitiful."
The heavy sickle fell like a violent storm, and in just a moment, Gui Zhulan could no longer hold on.
That is a monster, a monster that has absolutely nothing to do with humans.
"Lan, retreat. You can't deal with such an enemy." Kagura said. She was trapped in the barrier and had no choice. After all, it was a barrier set up by the heavenly fox Tamamonomae.
"Leave here, go to Tsukimine Shrine in Tokyo, and tell the Sunday priestess what happened here!"
The Sunday priestess of Tokyo's Gekmine Shrine? Kijuran remembered it in his heart.
She had never heard of Tsukimine Shrine, but she knew about the Sun-Day Priestess, which was a respectful title given to the priestesses of the Izumo lineage who truly possessed spiritual powers and were able to slay demons and monsters in each generation.
But it is not easy to leave under such a violent attack.
Isayama would never give her such an opportunity.
Indeed, since he had tried to hinder him, Isayama had already regarded Oni no Kisaragi as a target that he must kill.
But at this moment, Kagura Chizuru unexpectedly appeared in front of Jianshan. Jianshan Mei could clearly see from the corner of his eye that Kagura Chizuru was still trapped in the formation.
Two Kagura Chizuru, an illusion?
Absolutely not. Kagura appeared in front of her and patted her chest. From the outside, it looked like a slender touch, but the force actually patted Isayama into the air, and the power from the Killing Stone in his body was also delayed for a moment.
Godspeed Blessings·Tianrui
Her ribs were broken, and more importantly, the Killing Stone did not repair her injuries immediately.
After a moment's hesitation, Isayama discovered that Oni no Kurano had disappeared.
Forget it, just leave. Her target is Kagura Chizuru, her Eight-foot Mirror.
As long as she obtains the Eight-foot Mirror, she will be able to truly revive from the mythological era. Tamamonomae, the nine-tailed fox, was a great demon that once dominated an era.
How could a mere Sunday priestess be as powerful as Abe Yasuhiko back then?
He was the fifth-generation grandson of Abe Haruaki, and his cultivation was almost as good as that of his ancestor. Even so, he still relied on the siege of a large army to subdue Tamamonomae.
This era will not allow such powerful Onmyoji and Miko to exist.
Chapter 399: Bad Friends
Previously, due to the attack of the Feathered Ant Beast, many houses collapsed in the brilliant town of Gancheng invested and built by the Oshima family, and the investment promotion plan also encountered some setbacks.
However, with the help of alien technology, Magni Starman Steelstick's efficiency was as reliable as ever, and the reconstruction work was completed quickly. From a human perspective, no matter how you look at it, the quality of the project is absolutely reliable.
Unless there is another monster attack, it will be a natural disaster and no one can do anything about it.
The subsequent investment promotion work went smoothly.
"Being attacked by a monster before" is a common occurrence in Tokyo and has no impact at all.
In the past eight years, where in Tokyo has not been attacked? As long as the monsters are destroyed, it will be nothing more than a normal thing.
The town is full of various shops.
"Miss, this...something is not right. We have only been recruiting merchants for a week, and all the shops that applied for it are already full."
This is a business complex the size of a small town, and Jianye was mentally prepared to spend three to five years to attract investment.
But now, looking at the documents sent by the group, I feel a little surprised by how smoothly it went.
The stores are all franchisees of big brands, and most of the restaurants and hotels are well-known in the catering industry.
"Wouldn't it be better if it went smoothly?"
"That's good, but..."
From a business perspective, this is the best outcome, but it was too smooth.
Jianye still remembered that the eldest lady said that her identity should not be known to others. At that time, the one who obviously knew her identity was Beidou Xingsi, and Jianye later found out that it was also Ultraman Ace.
Fortunately, this is the case, as it saves him from causing the other party to suffer physical amnesia.
But what is going on now! It is hard to believe that this is a normal business phenomenon.
"Miss, is this really okay?"
If we judge from a purely commercial perspective, no one knows better than him what position the Oshima Group holds in the island country.
After all, he was registered as the guardian of the young lady before she came of age, and he was usually the young lady's legal representative. He also took care of the group's affairs every day.
The Oshima Group has divided its shares, and has almost sold off its previous real estate, financial and banking businesses. Now, in addition to a large amount of liquid funds, the Oshima family controls the mobile phone and Internet industries. It can be said that it has a complete monopoly in these two industries, and there is no other competing company in the entire island country.
This is also true internationally; it's something that even the United States doesn't have yet.
In addition, there are entertainment companies, which invest in theme parks and zoos. These are just for fun, and there is no monopoly, but fair competition with other companies in the industry.
The current Oshima Group is almost a completely different conglomerate than in the past, except for the name.
It is true that they are a first-class family in the business world.
However, as the real future prospects of mobile phones and the Internet are still unclear, the Oshima family, which has divested itself of such extremely profitable industries as banking, finance, and real estate, has indeed been seen by others as having lost its original status as a first-class family.
In the past, economic connections were useless. Even if they were useful, Jianye didn't think they could achieve such an exaggerated effect.
So there is only one possibility, that some more exaggerated force is intervening.
It may even be official.
"It's okay, don't worry about it, Grandpa Jianye. As long as we don't do anything illegal and live up to our conscience, that's fine."
Are you living with your conscience?
As a businessman, this is both a simple and difficult thing.
But it was only natural, because this was his eldest daughter. But Jianye was still a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, no matter what, I will not leave the earth."
Yes, this is what Jianye is really worried about. Now that the eldest lady has made it clear, he puts down all the burdens.
Lingye wrote a few more lines in her homework book. At this time, Maria knocked on the study door outside.
"My lady, the Hyuga priest of Tsukimine Shrine is here and wants to see you for something."
It's so busy. It seems that I can't finish my homework for the time being. Ling also closed her homework book.
Not only the Hyuga priest, but when Ling also went to the reception room, a strange older sister in a shrine maiden's costume also visited with the priest.
"I'm sorry to see you. I'm the demon from Ise Jingu."
"Ise Jingu? Oh, is Lord Kagura okay?"
This was of course just a polite greeting, but Gui Zhulan simply shook his head.
"The palace mistress is in trouble. She has been trapped in a barrier."
"what?"
Trapped? This is really unexpected. In Lingye's impression, Kagura Chizuru should be a very powerful person. With the Eight-foot Mirror, she can fight against ordinary monsters.
To be honest, Lan was also surprised to see that the so-called Sun Priestess was a little girl of such age.
But her advantage is that she completely trusts her own Palace Master. Since it is Palace Master Kagura who says it, she never has any objection.
"The enemy is the great monster Tamamonomae."
"Tamamonomae?"
Ling also thought about it and couldn't quite remember the name.
"It's the famous nine-tailed demon fox from ancient times." Hyuga Miyaji mentioned.
Oh, Nine-Tailed Fox, I understand now. It is indeed a famous monster in mythology.
Not only in the island country, there is also a legend in China, isn't it Su Daji. She seduced the king, and indulged in wine and meat. If it were "Investiture of the Gods", she would be more familiar. She was a poor guy who was found by Nuwa to take revenge on society, and was abandoned after being used.
As for what legends there were about it in the island country, Ling had no idea and didn't take it to heart.
Let alone the Nine-Tailed Fox, even if Nuwa was resurrected in this era, what would happen? If he really did something willful and beyond his limits, Ling would take action.
Seeing that she didn't care, Gui Ju Lan thought that she had never heard of the power of the nine-tailed fox. But Hyuga Miyaji probably guessed what she was thinking.
After all, he had truly witnessed the power of his own shrine maiden when he exorcised the ghost during the season last year. The shrine maiden in front of the god was an understatement, it was clearly the incarnation of the god.
So he was talking about something else.
"In fact, Oshima Miko, do you remember the Hōri Miko who was training at the shrine? Two hours ago, she heard about this and went to Tochigi Prefecture with a group of fox friends and dogs."
"Bad friends?"
Of course, Ling also remembered Reimu Boli, the guardian of Gensokyo whom she tricked into coming.
But what are bad friends? Did Reimu learn bad things from them?
Soon, Ling also realized that the "fox friends" that Hyuga Miyaji mentioned were probably real fox friends, in the literal sense.
Tochigi Prefecture is not far away. In later generations, it is within the Tokyo metropolitan area, so it is okay to say it is Tokyo.
