Black shadows with ferocious faces were scurrying around in the crowd. They let out screams that pierced the soul. Every time they caught a person, their soul was torn out and turned into a black shadow like them. Those who lost their souls became Like a puppet with its strings cut off, it fell straight to the ground, lifeless.
Like hell.
Ordinary people cannot see Yuan Qi, nor can they see the soul.
But Gu Bei could "let" them see it.
The teenagers screamed and panicked. They waved their weapons and tried to escape, but suddenly they found that the entire neighborhood had been surrounded by black shadows.
From hunters they become prey in a trap.
Someone fired, but the bullet penetrated the black shadow and fell on the body of his companion. Then the companion died, and his soul floated out, and was dyed black in an instant, followed by large black shadows flying in the crowd.
Someone started the car, but the car rushed into the crowd uncontrollably, and a group of souls floated out and joined the black shadow.
Aso Zhen was hiding under the counter of the convenience store. A black shadow penetrated through the glass and danced on the ceiling of the convenience store.
They "saw" Aso Makoto, bent down and stared at her, as if they wanted to tear out the little girl's soul and turn her into one of their own kind.
Aso felt that her hands and feet were cold and her mind was blank. She even felt that the sickle of death had been hung around her neck.
But those black shadows did not attack her in the end, but returned to the ceiling, spinning around on their own.
It looks like he's fishing.
Aso glanced at the black shadow on the ceiling, then bravely climbed up from the counter and peeked outside.
She saw the terrifying scene like a hundred ghosts walking at night, and also saw the young man standing among the hundreds of ghosts.
That is the king of ghosts.
In Japanese mythology, the king who rules over the hundred ghosts has the most gorgeous and handsome face among the hundred ghosts. Legend has it that he has an extremely handsome and melancholy face as a young boy, and his manners are elegant and decent, and his whole body exudes an aura that makes people... The irresistible mysterious charm makes the world marvel at it.
However, the character of this ghost king is extremely cruel and twisted. Not only does he feed on the flesh and blood of girls, but whenever a girl is fascinated by his charm, he will take the poor girl to his lair and After killing him again, he took part of his body organs and used them as food.
This ghost king is known for his fondness for alcohol. He has occupied Oeyama in the Tanba Kingdom and is also known as the ghost of Oeyama. He once shocked Kyoto and appeared in legends such as Shuten's defeat and the Night Parade of Hundred Demons.
This handsome yet cruel ghost king is the famous Shuten Doji.
Later, this Shuten boy was tricked by Minamoto Yorimitsu. First, he was drunk by the "Kamimononuki poison wine" at the banquet, and then his head was beheaded by the demon slayer sword "Yasuna". Finally, he was sealed with the Hoshi Kabuta. "Destroy" this ghost king.
And the "Anzuna" that cut off the head of the Oni King became the famous "Onikiri" and "Doujigiri" because it was soaked in Shuten Doji's blood.
That's right, it's the one in Yuan Zhisheng's hand now.
As for whether this sword killed Shuten Doji, it is no longer known. There is no detailed record of that period of history by the Snake Qihachi family.
But considering that Doji Kiriyanzuna is an alchemical weapon, looking at it from this angle, we may be able to get another answer.
That is: Shuten Doji is a descendant of the dragon clan.
Whether pure blood or mixed blood, as long as Shuten Doji carries dragon blood, all problems will be solved.
In other words, Shuten-dōji may have actually existed.
Regarding this, many materialists who have never seen the truth of the world may not believe it, but Gu Bei feels that this guess is not far off.
Of course, he is not the only one who believes in this inference.
Aso Shinya believed it.
As for why...of course it's because I saw it with my own eyes!
Aso looked at Gu Bei standing among countless ghosts, and mentally compared Gu Bei with the legendary Shuten Doji.
Handsome looking...that's right!
Powerful...that's right!
Controlling hundreds of ghosts...that's right!
Cruel and ruthless...that's right!
Extremely cruel...yes!
Likes to eat girls’ organs…
Aso Zhen shivered and looked down at himself.
It seems that she is the only girl here.
Isn't he being used as a reserve food by this ghost king? ?
Aso was really shivering, but there was no back door to the convenience store, and the only exit was now blocked by the "Ghost King" and his men.
It’s over, I can’t run anymore.
Aso Ma held his head and stuffed himself into the counter again.
Gu Bei still didn't know that someone thought of him as a ghost king who liked to eat people. At this time, he was looking at the man in sunglasses on the carriage with great interest.
He specifically ordered these ghosts not to approach the man in sunglasses, just to see what the man behind the scenes had up his sleeve.
It was said to be a test, but it was hard to say that the other party didn't have the idea of killing Gu Bei directly.
If you can kill, kill. If you can't kill, just test.
The two are not in conflict.
In other words, this small club called Chibei is obviously an outcast.
The abandoned child will naturally serve the greatest purpose.
This is near Genji Heavy Industries, and it is an important guarding position for the Sheqi Hachi Family.
Fifteen minutes had passed since the battle started, but the garrison of the Snake Qiba family showed no response at all.
This shows that the other party is a member of the Sheqiba family.
And most likely at the top.
Only in this way can the garrison forces of the eight Sheqi families be mobilized.
The senior leaders of the Sheqi Ba family are very aware of Gu Bei's strength.
Not to mention anything else, a one on four fight against four family heads was a complete victory. In the entire Sheqiba family, there are absolutely no more than one person who can do this.
Therefore, if you want to kill Gu Bei directly here, you must make some preparations in advance. It is impossible to complete this arduous task with only hundreds of people and nearly a thousand guns.
It is also impossible to rely solely on the man in sunglasses, a hybrid whose energy level is less than A level.
The other party must have prepared some back-up plan, but they haven't used it yet.
Gu Bei was waiting for this backup plan.
The other party was testing Gu Bei, so why wasn't Gu Bei testing the other party?
Both sides knew that this attack could not be fruitful, and the purpose was only to collect as much intelligence as possible.
The other party will definitely try their best to kill Gu Bei, no matter how strong Gu Bei is, because Gu Bei cured Eli Yi and broke his plan.
And Gu Bei will definitely kill the other party.
But this is not the end.
The real stage hasn't been set yet, everyone just clicked and stopped.
Therefore, Gu Bei had to figure out in this battle what the other party's confidence was that allowed him to kill him.
It can't really be the case with nearly a thousand guns and a barely A-level hybrid, right?
No way, no way~
of course not!
The man in sunglasses looked gloomy, took out a syringe from his arms, and then stabbed it hard on his arm.
Gu Bei had excellent eyesight. From a distance, he could see a transparent syringe sloshing with brightly colored liquid, gradually transitioning from bright red to dull purple, just like the colors of a rainbow cocktail.
The liquid flowed into the body along the syringe, and the man in sunglasses felt hot all over. He didn't know what the medicine did to his body, but his bloodline was obviously awakened.
Every cell in the body seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, and power surged through the blood vessels like a sea tide.
He felt as if he was standing at the center of the entire world, with endless warmth washing through his body, making him feel as if he could dominate everything.
He thought of his father who had always been extremely controlling, his mother who was killed for resisting his father, and the beautiful stepmother his father brought home after his mother died.
He thought of that dark night. He tore off the restraints and vented his emotions until the man's spine was crushed and he vomited blood.
That night, he turned into a beast.
Later, his father locked him in a room without a trace of light. Hungry and loneliness accompanied him for an unknown length of time. Then suddenly one day, the door opened and his father threw him a piece of meat.
One with shoes on.
He swore that he would kill his father one day, but he didn't expect that day to come so quickly.
That night, a strange man appeared in the living room of his home. He was wearing a white linen suit, and he was sitting lazily in a chair. His father was trampled under his feet, and his limbs were twisted out of shape, like a crawling maggot.
In the darkness, he heard a man's voice coming from far away: "Do you want power?"
The man's voice was so gentle, even a little feminine, but his majesty was much greater than that of his father.
Yes, my father is just a dead dog at his feet.
He was simply sitting there, but he seemed to be sitting on a throne.
The man said he would be of use, and then disappeared.
After that, he inherited his father's company and developed it. He established Chibei according to the man's instructions and took care of it in an orderly manner.
These are his powers, but he has never stopped pursuing power.
Every time he recalled these things, he felt terrified.
What he feared was not his father's punishment or eating his stepmother's body, but that feminine man.
The man who gave him strength.
Until yesterday, the man came to him and said: "It's time for you to be useful."
With that said, he handed him the potion and a task.
The man said that there is power in the potion.
This is...the power of potion!
It was as if he could break mountains and crack rocks and be omnipotent. This feeling was so great that he felt that even that man might not have this kind of power.
Then comes black desire.
He returned to that night again. He was unbearably hot, as if there was fire burning out of his body.
When he woke up, he found that he and his stepmother were naked and hugging each other. The stepmother's spine had been broken into several pieces, her throat was split, and his mouth was full of the taste of blood.
Thinking about this, he felt like a furnace all over his body, the power was boiling, and he urgently needed a release gap.
So he raised his head, but did not look at Gu Bei. Instead, he followed his instinct and saw a girl hiding on the counter.
"S-level..."
Gu Bei could clearly feel that after injecting that potion, the purity of the man in sunglasses' bloodline soared to an incredible degree. The bloodline that was originally barely A-level suddenly crossed the two levels of A-level and super-A, reaching S level.
Although from the perspective of threat level, this kind of forcibly upgraded S-class definitely does not have the extraordinary combat power of Night Watchman and Anger, nor does it have the super word spirits of Yuan Zhisheng and Eriyi as plug-ins, but it is definitely better than Lu Ming The parallel S-class, which cannot use all its power, is much more powerful.
The pair of golden uprights almost turned into two dazzling suns, shining brightly even during the day.
This level of combat power, if only compared with the four family heads, is indeed more than enough. It is no wonder that they would use this thing against themselves.
However, being able to achieve this level of improvement made Gu Bei think of an existence that was taboo among the secret party...
Dragon blood potion.
The first time he came into contact with this thing was the last time he came to Tokyo. He learned about the existence of dragon blood potion while treating Eri Yi. And according to his analysis, the purity of Eri Yi's bloodline was improved to a considerable extent. Blood potion as an inducement.
I didn’t expect that I would bump into him during my second visit to Tokyo.
However, considering that the person who experimented with Eriki was probably the same person behind the man in sunglasses, Gu Bei could also understand why the dragon blood potion appeared here.
But Gu Bei still wanted to complain: Are you Japanese mixed-race addicts addicted to drugs? Can't you research something useful?
And it seems that this medicine has side effects.
Generally speaking, you should not start fighting too quickly after using a strength-enhancing potion to avoid being unable to defeat your opponent after the effect of the potion wears off.
But after taking the medicine, the man in sunglasses rushed forward without even looking at Gu Bei. His speed broke the sound barrier, and his whole body seemed to disappear in the light.
But his target was not Gu Bei, but someone behind Gu Bei...
Aso Makoto?
The side effect of this potion shouldn't be lust, right?
Gu Bei jumped up without thinking and slashed with his sword!
He didn't have a knife in his hand, and he didn't have Chu Zihang's habit of carrying a knife with him, but this had no effect on his movements.
Countless black shadows flew over and gathered together. They squeezed into a huge black ball, then compressed and stretched, turning into a pitch-black knife in Gu Bei's hand!
These ghosts took on physical form in Gu Bei's hands!
With its straight back and long and narrow blade, it was Gu Bei's most comfortable Tang Heng Dao.
Golden runes spread across the blade, and then disappeared into the dark blade, as if they had never appeared.
Gu Bei used his magic machine to refine this sword.
Gu Bei grabbed the ghost blade and waved it in a circle!
It was as if a thunder exploded against the blade, and the light of the blade was as light as the wind. What Gu Bei swung was not a sword. It was not a sword in the first place, but a sharp cold air!
At the same time, the remaining ghosts rushed forward. They grabbed the man in sunglasses and seemed to want to stop his progress.
But the newly born ghosts don't have much power. They are fine against ordinary people, but they are a bit difficult to deal with hybrids, not to mention that the man in sunglasses is no longer an ordinary hybrid.
A temporary S-level is still an S-level, even if there is no plug-in word spirit, it is still an S-level.
Just like the S-level Valkyrie targets the Herrscher, the S-level hybrid targets... the Dragon King.
How could a mere ghost stop the king's charge?
The one who can stop one king can only be another king.
Gu Bei is not a drunken boy, but he doesn't mind making a cameo as the King of Demons.
The blade slashed horizontally, and a series of sparks flowed on the blade. It was the sharp claws of the man in sunglasses and the blade of the ghost sword meeting each other.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning. The man in sunglasses' charge was interrupted, and he appeared while moving at high speed. Gu Bei's knife could have cut some next-generation species in half, but it failed to do anything on the man in sunglasses. .
A scaly claw actually grasped the blade.
The man in sunglasses flipped in the air using the blade as a fulcrum, and stabbed Gu Bei's throat with his other giant claw. This was the attack and defense of the beast, and every blow was aimed at killing the enemy.
He is a beast, so why not Gu Bei!
The ghost king of Dajiangshan cannibalizes human flesh and bones. He is a beast among beasts!
Gu Bei is not a Shuten boy, but a beast like Shuten boy can't make any waves in front of him!
Facing the fatal blow to the throat, Gu Bei did not dodge or dodge. He raised the blade of the sword and struck with a cassock slash, slashing diagonally towards the neck of the man in sunglasses.
This is a life-for-life strategy. Once this is implemented, neither side will gain.
Gu Bei could still survive with the help of the Immortal Thief Liuku, but the man in sunglasses was certain to die.
At the critical moment, the man in sunglasses moved his hand to avoid, but was knocked away by Gu Bei's knife.
but……
"It doesn't feel like it's cutting in. Is it blocked?"
Gu Bei looked at where the man in sunglasses had fallen. The smoke dispersed and the man in sunglasses stood there with a deep scratch on the dragon scales on his right arm.
But that's not the point.
The key point is that the dragon scales on his left arm have faded, and a syringe is inserted into it. The syringe is already empty.
The medicine rushed into his blood vessels like a wild dragon that had escaped from the gate. Incredible chemical reactions and biological evolution took place in the body of the man in sunglasses. Heat rushed to the top of his skull and the ends of his limbs. He heard that all the bones in his body were slowly regenerating. Growing, the injury on his right arm is slowly healing, and the bottom of the hole reflects an even brighter fire.
Gu Bei raised his eyebrows. He could feel that the man in sunglasses was already putting some pressure on him.
It's been a long time. Gu Bei originally thought that he would have to experience the loneliness of a master for a long time, but he didn't expect that a surprise would come to his door so soon.
The ghost sword was lifted up and pointed at the man in sunglasses. Gu Bei didn't even notice that a wanton smile appeared on his handsome face at some point: "Sa..."
"It's round two."
