Chapter 65: Setting an Array to Defeat the Enemy

The Futakuchi-onna looks perfectly normal, and is even a beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure, but hidden beneath this beautiful exterior lies an unknown danger.

She rushed forward shouting "Sumimasen!", then her hair rapidly grew longer, turning into two large bundles that flew over as if they were left and right hands.

The Kappa immediately brandished the Seven-Star Copper Sword to hack at the flying black hair; that hair was tough, and the Kappa could not cut through it with one strike.

Wang Hai watched, saying with some worry: "Junior Brother, I fear that Kappa is no match for her."

Zhang Cheng nodded and said: "In the end, its magic power is a bit weak; if not for those two magic treasures, it would likely have already been defeated."

Just as they said, the Kappa was no match for the Futakuchi-onna's flying hair, and was quickly bound by its hands and pulled directly over; the struggling Kappa was dragged by the hair to a position directly above the Futakuchi-onna.

The Futakuchi-onna lowered her head, revealing a large mouth filled with sharp teeth growing between the back of her head and her neck.

"Mama, food!"

The large mouth made a child's voice and laughed out loud.

The Futakuchi-onna said again: "Sumimasen!"

After speaking, she stuffed the Kappa directly into her mouth.

"Ah! Mama, it hurts!"

"Ah!"

The Futakuchi-onna screamed in pain and spat the Kappa out; one could see the golden armor on the Kappa's body glowing with golden light, and even the Seven-Star Copper Sword was emitting radiance.

The Kappa seized the opportunity to slash off the Futakuchi-onna's head with one sword strike; the event happened so fast that Abe Hiroaki did not even have time to call for the Ubume to save her.

"Killed Futakuchi-onna, gained 500 merit."

Abe Yuko opened her small mouth wide and said in surprise: "The magic treasure on that Kappa is powerful!"

Abe Hiroaki also felt it was tricky and immediately said: "Junior brothers, attack together!"

"Kill!"

Dozens of ghosts and monsters swarmed forward; the Kappa Mitaro immediately turned and ran, shouting: "You bastards, dozens of you against one of me, that's an unfair victory! My lord, save me!"

Zhang Cheng immediately took action, shouting: "Senior Brother, do it!"

Wang Hai and Wu Cai immediately brought out the Eight Trigrams Mirror and scattered spirit talismans with one hand, repelling many ghosts and monsters, while Zhang Cheng held the Seven-Star Copper Sword and charged into the ghosts and monsters, killing one with every swing of his blade.

"Killed Hannya Ghost, gained 200 merit."

"Killed Dog Demon, gained 200 merit."

"Killed Bone Umbrella, gained 300 merit."

Abe Hiroaki looked at Zhang Cheng, who was slaughtering everyone, and said with a grave expression: "That one wearing the patchwork robe is an expert, everyone be careful."

Having said that, he took out a talisman and threw it at Zhang Cheng.

Fortunately, the Eight Trigrams Mirror on Zhang Cheng's body had a warning function; he sensed the danger immediately and performed a backflip to dodge the talisman.

Not far away, the Nine Chrysanthemum Society members watched Abe and the others in a chaotic battle with Zhang Cheng's trio and couldn't help but ask: "Are we not going up?"

"Hmph, don't these Onmyoji look down on us? Let them fight first, we will be the oriole behind."

That was their plan, but the command on the scene was in the hands of the squadron leader, who immediately ordered: "You go up and help too, eliminate those Zhina people immediately."

Don't look at how arrogant the Nine Chrysanthemum Society members are, they still had to obey the military's command.

Ten Nine Chrysanthemum Society members also joined the battle.

This caused Zhang Cheng and the other two to fall into a bitter struggle.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly took out the Evil-Refining Treasure Gourd and directly collected the remaining twenty-plus ghosts and monsters, except for Abe Hiroaki's Ubume, and Abe Yuko's Kamaitachi and Nekomata, who escaped.

Immediately after, Zhang Cheng released several streams of Qi that permeated the area around the three of them; another Onmyoji and a Nine Chrysanthemum Society member rushed over together, only to be burned to death by a stream of Samadhi True Fire he spat out, and their souls were directly collected by the Soul-Capturing Banner.

"Killed Onmyoji, gained 2,000 merit."

"Killed Nine Chrysanthemum Sect member, gained 1,000 merit."

The situation had changed; a single magic treasure had caused them heavy losses.

Immediately following,

Zhang Cheng shouted: "Senior Brother, assist me, I am going to set up an array!"

Wang Hai and Wu Cai immediately stood guard on both sides of Zhang Cheng, coordinating with the Kappa Mitaro for defense, while Ximen Lang also took action to obstruct them.

Zhang Cheng immediately pulled out the Five Elements Flags and drew a Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams on the ground, then arranged the command flags according to the Five Elements on the Eight Trigrams.

After quickly setting them up, he returned to the central position, formed a sword seal with his hand, chanted the Eight Trigrams Incantation, and shouted: "Altar-performing disciples, enter the central palace! Raise the array!"

One could see nine Nine Chrysanthemum Society members and two Onmyoji trapped in the array, while Abe Hiroaki saw that the situation was not good and directly took Yuko and retreated further away.

Zhang Cheng took out another set of command flags and shouted: "Decree!"

Countless rays of fire fell within the array.

Someone got fire on them and hurriedly reached out to pat it out, but the fire just started burning on their hand.

That person felt intense pain and screamed at the top of their lungs.

The leader, who had been alert, shouted: "Be careful!" As he spoke, he used magic and reached out to pat out the fire.

But the fire was like rain, falling continuously.

The leader immediately took out a cold chrysanthemum and used magic; countless fireballs appeared and collided with those fires.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Countless explosion sounds rang out, scattering quite a bit of the fire.

The Onmyoji shouted: "This fire can only be defended against with magic power."

Having said that, he directly pulled out a talisman, pinched a hand seal, and shouted: "Swiftly, like a law!"

One could see a stream of water appear and rapidly wrap around his body, canceling out the fire falling from the sky.

The other Onmyoji followed suit and barely saved his life.

As for the Nine Chrysanthemum Society members, they were either dodging or attacking.

The leader shouted, "Cover me, I am going to kill the formation master."

The leader sprinted toward Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng immediately shouted, "Change!"

The sky-filling flames vanished, the ground began to shake, and the earth would split open a crack; once someone fell in, it would rapidly close again, and those who fell inside could only be heard screaming, their figures nowhere to be seen.

Someone was careless and fell for the trap, and everyone could only hear their miserable screams.

"Damn it!"

The leader roared in anger and cast a spell again, stirring up countless earth and stones that swept toward Zhang Cheng.

"Change!"

Countless blades and swords emerged from the formation, directly knocking down the earth and stones summoned by the leader and shooting toward the leader.

The leader hurriedly cast a spell to protect their body.

The others also cast spells one after another, but those with weak magic power could not block them more than a few times before being pierced through the chest by the blades and swords.

"Ah!"

Five Nine Chrysanthemum Society members died in the formation.

The Yin-Yang Masters cast spells and shouted, "Clear Yang is Heaven! Turbid Yin is Earth! We respectfully invite the guardian gods! Bestow compassionate protection! By the order of the law, act with haste!"

Golden light erupted from their entire bodies, and the blades and swords could not touch them.

"Change again!"

"Rumble..."

The sky-filling blades and swords vanished, and one could only see the horizon appearing like a bursting dam, with torrential floodwaters falling down; some Nine Chrysanthemum Society members were carelessly swept into the flood.

"Glug, glug..."

The Nine Chrysanthemum leader barely steadied their figure, only to see the remaining few members swept into the flood, struggling frantically and calling to them for help.

The Yin-Yang Masters were also struggling bitterly to hold on.

Zhang Cheng took one look and saw there were still three people alive, then shouted again, "Change!"

The sky-filling flood vanished, and countless logs flew up and fell down from the sky and earth; the Nine Chrysanthemum leader continuously cast spells to break a dozen or so logs, but ultimately, due to exhaustion, was crushed to death by a giant log.

There was also one Yin-Yang Master who met the same fate, dying a miserable death.

Only the last Yin-Yang Master took out a talisman and shouted, "Gods protect me! By the order of the law, act with haste!"

A golden bell appeared, protecting them.
