Chapter 59: Fighting the Yin-Yang Masters

Zhang Cheng was not a professional secret agent after all, so it was normal for him to be investigated, but everyone basically thought of Master Jinbao.

It was just that some money had gone missing; this matter did not match Master Jinbao's status. In any case, the high-ranking official had not died, it was just a loss of some money, not a big deal. Everyone tacitly stopped mentioning this matter.

Although this matter had been glossed over, the movements on the side of the Japanese pirates had not stopped.

The people of the Yin-Yang Bureau wanted to find the person who destroyed the barrier, and Fukada Miko of the Nine Chrysanthemum School joined forces with two other Nine Chrysanthemum family members to set an ambush.

Both of their families were making rather large moves, but Zhang Cheng was cultivating quietly; after all, having just caused such a big stir, he naturally had to keep a low profile.

On the side of the Nine Chrysanthemum School, Saito Momoko and Suzuki Kyoko stopped waiting once they saw there had been no movement for several days.

Fukada Miko had no choice but to let her eldest disciple come out of seclusion.

However, the headquarters ordered Fukada Miko to pause this matter, as the Empire's plan had now begun.

On this day, Zhang Cheng was cultivating in his company's office when a phone call came in.

He picked up the phone and said, "I am Zhang Cheng of the Tiancai Company."

The person on the other end said softly, "Mr. Zhang, I have received some very important news. War is about to break out. Mr. Zhang had best go to the British Concession to hide for a while."

Zhang Cheng frowned; he certainly knew about these things, but it was not something he alone could stop.

Perhaps he would be conscripted to deal with the Japanese pirates' Yin-Yang Masters and the people of the Nine Chrysanthemum School.

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Manager Steve, thank you very much for the news. I will go hide for a while."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Cheng immediately summoned Wang Hai and Wu Cai and said, "Two senior brothers, the Japanese pirates are about to launch a war. You should prepare yourselves."

Wang Hai said in surprise, "Junior brother, I will arrange to move the medicinal materials right away."

Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said, "That is not important. I have the Universe Bag and the Hundred-Patch Robe; I have already stored the important medicinal materials.

What I mean is, I fear that the Japanese pirates' Yin-Yang Masters and the people of the Nine Chrysanthemum School will participate this time. When that happens, we will definitely have to go help."

Wu Cai nodded and said, "Rest assured, junior brother. This matter is our bounden duty."

Zhang Cheng nodded, then walked out of the office and said to all the employees, "Everyone, starting today, you are all on leave to go home. I will notify you of the specific time later. Rest assured, your base salaries will be paid on time."

The employees discussed it among themselves, but thinking of the recent events, they immediately packed their things and left.

At night, before it was even twelve o'clock, the war broke out.

In the direction of Zhabei, artillery fire filled the sky. Zhang Cheng happened to be in the northern district of the concession and could see the firelight over there.

He told Wang Hai and Wu Cai to stay alert, while he himself rushed toward Zhabei alone.

On the battlefield, he saw from afar the people of the Nine Chrysanthemum School controlling puppets that felt no pain to launch a charge.

Zhang Cheng was furious and immediately pulled out his Gold Coin Sword and Three-Pure Bell, then began to cast a spell.

The Gold Coin Sword emitted a golden light and floated up amidst the ringing of the Three-Pure Bell.

Zhang Cheng held the Three-Pure Bell, pointed it toward the battlefield, and shouted, "Go!"

The Gold Coin Sword shot out like a streak of golden light; before the enemy could react, the puppet charging at the very front was pierced through the chest by the Gold Coin Sword.

"Who goes there!"

The people of the Nine Chrysanthemum School roared in great anger. In the blink of an eye, the dozens of puppets that had been charging forward with guns just a moment ago all fell to the ground.

The leader of the Nine Chrysanthemum School said to the officer beside him, "It is the Zhina mages who have come. Let us go deal with them first."

"Hey, you Yin-Yang Masters, it is time for you to make a move!"

The two Yin-Yang Masters snorted coldly and said, "You people just stay here. When it comes to fighting with magic, we are the ones who must be relied upon."

The leader of the Nine Chrysanthemum School said in a rage, "Baka!"

The officer shouted, "Hey, what are you arguing about?

Hurry up and eliminate the enemy's mages!"

The two Yin-Yang Masters snorted coldly and then released their respective Shikigami.

The next second, the surrounding atmosphere dropped to freezing point; four evil ghosts and four demons appeared in the vicinity.

"Let's go!"

The Yin-Yang Masters held their arrogant heads high and left the command post.

The leader of the Nine Chrysanthemum School clenched his fists in anger.

The officer immediately said, "Alright, they are going to deal with the Zhina mages. You hurry up and provide cover for the attack."

Zhang Cheng had just retracted his Gold Coin Sword when he felt four strands of Yin energy and four strands of demonic energy killing their way toward him.

He immediately took out his Seven-Star Copper Sword and stood ready.

Before long, the two Yin-Yang Masters arrived with the four evil ghosts and four demons.

One of them controlled a Hashihime, a Takonna, a Hannya ghost, and an Onmoraki.

The other controlled a Hijiribe, a Nukekubi, a Hone-onna, and a Kappa.

The ten enemies surrounded Zhang Cheng all at once.

Do not think that Yin-Yang Masters only know how to summon Shikigami; they themselves also know talismans and formations.

"Attack, kill him!"

As soon as the words fell, the Nukekubi stretched its neck and its head flew over. Zhang Cheng could even see the woman opening her mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

It was exactly as they say, the gun hits the bird that sticks its head out; Zhang Cheng raised his hand and swung his sword, and a head the size of a peck fell to the ground.

"Slew the Nukekubi, gained two hundred merit points."

Zhang Cheng killed the Nukekubi in one move, instantly stunning the remaining seven ghosts and demons.

The two Yin-Yang Masters' expressions changed drastically, knowing they were no match, so one of them immediately took out a talisman paper to cast a spell and call for help.

Zhang Cheng immediately ran to stop them, but the Kappa rushed out. It was strong enough and had a sturdy body; even just by ramming, it could ram Zhang Cheng to death.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly performed a backflip to dodge the Kappa's attack. Before he even landed, the Hone-onna waved its hands to stab at him. Zhang Cheng hurriedly swung his sword and severed the Hone-onna's arm.

The Hone-onna immediately retreated, and its arm grew back.

The remaining ghosts and demons swarmed up, and Zhang Cheng was greatly alarmed, hurriedly using the Five-Thunder Curse.

Of course, the power of his Five-Thunder Curse could not compare to that of his senior martial brothers.

However, as the rolling heavenly thunder descended, it also repelled those seven ghosts and monsters.

Zhang Cheng seized the opportunity to leap out of the encirclement, took out his Golden Coin Sword once more, and cast a spell to make it fly out and entangle the Bridge Maiden and the Tall Woman, two of the evil ghosts.

The Weapon Master closest to Zhang Cheng swung its blade to attack, but Zhang Cheng immediately spat out a stream of Samadhi True Fire, burning it to death.

"Killed a Weapon Master, obtained two hundred points of merit."

Having painfully lost two shikigami, the Onmyoji immediately pulled out a talisman to cast a spell, and a bolt of black Yin-Thunder was seen striking toward Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng had no time to dodge and was forced to cast a spell, holding his Seven-Star Copper Sword to resist it head-on.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion rang out, and Zhang Cheng retreated several steps in a row.

He feigned defeat, turned, and fled; the Onmyoji immediately cursed at Zhang Cheng and chased after him, holding a paper talisman.

Zhang Cheng was delighted and injected magic power into the Seven-Star Copper Sword in his hand; the Seven-Star Copper Sword flew out directly and arrived in front of the Onmyoji in an instant, and before the Onmyoji could react, he was pierced through the chest by the Seven-Star Copper Sword.

"Killed an Onmyoji, obtained two thousand points of merit."

Once this Onmyoji died, the Bone Woman and the Kappa lost their control and turned to attack the remaining Onmyoji.

Only hearing the Bone Woman shout: "You actually dared to control me, I am going to kill you!"

The Kappa laughed: "Hehehe, leave the shirikodama for me!"
