Chapter 194

It was night when Jia Ji traveled here, and now the dark green sky was still dotted with a few remaining stars, but the east had already turned a shell-like fish-white.

Not long after, the horizon became bright, and the clouds rolled like golden-red waves, with fire-like traces on the lower edges.

And as this dawn arrived, he finally breathed a sigh of relief after the successive events, taking in the surrounding scenery.

Not long ago, the place known as the "Saigyouji Mansion" was still extremely prosperous. At that time, this mansion, which took several years and cost a lot to build, could not be called anything but luxurious.

The flowers in the garden never withered throughout the four seasons, the green pines and cypresses in front of the gate were evergreen, the luxury inside the building went without saying, and there was both the hustle and bustle of people and quiet freedom.

But that was a long time ago, and now it is completely different.

The mansion covers a large area, but there are few people in it, and no matter how carefully it is managed, one can feel the desolation.

Thanks to the death power emitted by a certain yokai cherry tree, no plants or animals can survive nearby, so the mansion is spared from the invasion of weeds and creepers, and there are not many cracks in the walls, still showing some of the past glory.

The pond is full of water.

On the already restless water surface, two layers of conflicting ripples are stirred up by the wind.

At this time, the aquatic organisms that should have poked their heads out to greedily breathe air have no signs of life, but instead, there is a deep dead silence, with only a few cherry blossom petals floating on the water surface curled into the shape of a dead person's knuckles.

The death energy carried on those cherry blossom petals is exactly the same as that on Yuyuko.

That is the poison of the living, which will turn all life that approaches into walking corpses and undead—but that is only for the weak.

For strong people like Jia Ji and Yakumo Zi who can change the terrain, if that "Saigyou Ayakashi" did not exert its full power, it would at most make them feel a little uncomfortable.

And Beidou's third brother, who has felt the breath of death all year round, feels that this breath of death makes his appetite open up.

"Could it be that this is why she became a big eater? Judging by her age, it seems that it is not long before Yuyuko commits suicide to seal the Saigyou Ayakashi… But it doesn't matter, Yuyuko, who has become an undead princess, is more suitable to be with Zi, just in time to shatter the inexplicable longevity theory."

Imagining the beautiful scenery of the Saigyou Ayakashi in full bloom, Jia Ji magically draped a new top over himself, then turned to look at the soft, crying swordswoman.

"There is a lot of room for improvement, keep up the good work."

Jia Ji laughed happily and sincerely encouraged the demoness.

Little did he know that such an attitude was simply another kind of mockery to the loser. The white-haired swordswoman's crying, which had gradually stopped, sobbed again, which also caused Yuyuko to sigh with exhaustion.

Her gardener is usually too serious and earnest, but once her mentality collapses, she will show this headache-inducing appearance.

Still need training, Miss Swordswoman!

After all, Hunpo Yaoji is only sixty years old this year. Among her race, whose lifespan is counted in at least thousands, she is still a young girl. Her future famous stunt "Life Two-Sword Style" is also just created and not yet perfect, and can even be said to be only half completed.

Compared to her granddaughter in the future, Yaoji's strength at this time is only on par with her, and she is not even qualified to be a self-machine, still far behind.

Now that she is dueling with Jia Ji, who has been heavily strengthened, it is reasonable to lose.

"Is the warm-up activity enough?"

Yakumo Zi's eyes were like crescent moons, narrowed into a curved slit, and she asked with a slight smile.

Jia Ji did not rush to answer, but closed his eyes and examined the condition of his body.

After arriving in the East, he didn't spend much energy in a slight exchange with Yakumo Zi, and the sparring with the demoness seemed to have lasted a long time, but it was actually a "13-second finish the opponent assembly." It was Yakumo Zi who spent too much power treating the injury on her right arm, not him.

In other words, he is in excellent condition now, and his mood is even better! Even if he fights another hundred games, it is more than enough!

Since the bottleneck was broken that day, he has been increasing his cultivation at all times, whether sitting, lying, walking, running, jumping, or even sleeping, the muscles and bones in his body are exerting force, tempering himself and strengthening his vitality.

But unlike the past, after being perfected by the power of the realm, every breath, every flow of blood, and every heartbeat of his has a feeling of fullness and freedom.

His strength has not stopped growing. If he continues to exercise persistently, perhaps he will only need to practice hard in this state for another twenty years to step into the Frenzy Rank naturally and catch up with those great yokai and gods who have lived for thousands of years.

"Twenty years is too long, speed up! I'll give you a number—break through before the next Wan Hua Jing cooldown is completed."

This is not Jia Ji being too inflated, but the matter of sitting in meditation and practicing hard is really not suitable for him now. Since he has come to this worldview where great yokai are everywhere in the East, he can't help but want to endure it.

Whether it is fighting spirit or spiritual power, it will erupt with more powerful force when the emotions are high, pushing to a new realm under pressure.

And Yakumo Zi is seriously injured and cannot push the Lunar War plan, so she just needs him to replace her and persuade the remaining great yokai to join. There will definitely be no shortage of opportunities to fight with strong people.

Thus, this is the best time to make a breakthrough in one go.

Finally, Jia Ji blinked his eyes, and his pitch-black pupils were inhabited by fierce killing intent and fighting spirit.

"Who to fight? Where? When?"

I don't know who I am now, I only know that I am going to kill in all directions. jpg

Jia Ji seems to be planning to challenge the strong in the Millennium Gensokyo!

The eyes that reminded people of purple crystals narrowed briefly for an instant. The Yokai Sage, who was always unfathomable, showed a smile that made people feel cold after hearing her respected group leader make such a battle-crazy statement.

"Then·we·won't·be·polite·oh~"

With a wave of her slender hand, the eerie spatial rift known as the "Gap," filled with eyeballs, unfolded again, swallowing Jia Ji's figure directly from bottom to top.

Yakumo Zi said to her friend with a smile: "Yuyuko, we'll be back soon."

Afterwards, she also threw herself into the rift.

And with the re-healing of this rift, everything returned to calm, only the sword marks all over the ground told of a fierce battle that had taken place here.

"Yuyuko-sama! These… these won't have to be cleaned up by me, right?"

Yaoji finally reacted and asked with teary eyes.

She didn't get a clear answer from Yuyuko, but the expression already explained one meaning—

Sodayo!
