Chapter 99: Fighting Qi Erupts, Kai (3k First Update)

The method to break the 【Taishan Fujun Festival】 that Bai Cangshu and Xia Youjie learned from the mouth of Tsuchimikado Ochiai was to find more than half of the ritual nodes and clear away the opponent's blood seals attached to them.

Xia Youjie and Bai Cangshu immediately realized a possibility.

But no matter what means the two used to pressure Tsuchimikado Ochiai, this old guy just gritted his teeth and refused to admit the fact that the Taishan Fujun Festival ritual could be artificially modified after it had been activated.

Regardless, the price of the Taishan Fujun Festival was actually paid by the direct descendants of the Tsuchimikado clan.

The Abe Family, and even its descendants the Tsuchimikado clan, had always worshipped the Eastern Peak Prefecture Lord as their main deity, and in this clan's Yin-Yang Arts, the Taishan Fujun Festival became the most important priority.

Tsuchimikado Ochiai had originally thought that the era of Yin-Yang Arts had ended, but that guy wearing a cloak and holding a sacred object of Mount Tai gave him hope.

The Taishan Fujun Festival was not, as he claimed, swindled from some unknown person by 【Bai Mian】; it was the head of this Tsuchimikado clan who voluntarily handed it over for the sake of the family's revival.

But Bai Mian betrayed the Tsuchimikado; having seized the Destiny of Yako, Bai Mian would never truly use such a powerful ritual as the Taishan Fujun Festival to reincarnate some Plot Character or reverse the national fortune of Japan in the mission world.

What she wanted was power!

Tsuchimikado Ochiai had already realized this point after the direct bloodline of his family died in Tokyo and he heard of that terrifying Spirit Disaster.

But just as Bai Cangshu and Xia Youjie could guess that the ritual had not been completely finished, Tsuchimikado Ochiai also knew.

He would not let outsiders use his clan's bloodline to perform the Taishan Fujun Festival and seize all the benefits from the main deity his clan worshipped.

But no matter how he concealed it, it was useless against Bai Cangshu, who could see through others' muscles, breathing, and cardiopulmonary activity.

With just a little bit of maneuvering, he could find the correct answer.

While Xia Youjie and 【Fifth Element】 and the others were confronting the mysterious Reincarnator, Bai Cangshu relied on his perception of killing intent to quickly find the nodes and cover them with his own blood.

The reason he appeared in front of the opponent and used 【Secret Rite: Strike of the Inari God】 to attack them was merely to divert their attention.

Both he and Xia Youjie were using their actions to make the opponent mistakenly believe that they wanted to kill him.

Xia Youjie was even more ostentatious, putting on a full show.

Bai Cangshu sneered; he knew what Xia Youjie wanted to do—it was nothing more than wanting to die in place of Gojo Satoru.

Xia Youjie harbored the idea of using the Taishan Fujun Festival to reverse life and death.

Just as the most primitive records stated: a life for a life.

In the time since Gojo Satoru died and the humans in Tokyo were wiped out, Xia Youjie had realized what a tiny group Cursed Users were.

Wanting to slaughter all ordinary people and then turn the world into a world for Cursed Users was completely unrealistic.

The numbers of the two sides were completely disproportionate.

If ordinary humans were extinct, Cursed Users would also be extinct soon after.

And after being given the title of Savior by that monkey with the title of Prime Minister, Xia Youjie realized his own insignificance even more.

Whether it was the despair that Ieiri Shoko hid, or those Cursed Users who fled Japan.

All of it made Xia Youjie realize his own limitations.

Bai Cangshu then hinted to him that the Taishan Fujun Festival could change everything.

Thus, the two had a follow-up plan.

Xia Youjie gave up the idea of nuking Tokyo to create a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, and Bai Cangshu completed the faction mission.

But arriving at the current node, Bai Cangshu revealed a triumphant smile.

What "a life for a life" or resurrecting Gojo Satoru—how could that compare to the importance of having great power return to oneself?

"Taishan Fujun Festival, activate!"

Intense spiritual power was activated from the numerous nodes in an instant.

Bai Mian was still wantonly scattering Witch Power in the air at this time; even in terms of frontal combat power, she did not believe that Kai was absolutely stronger than her.

But 【Fox Fire】 itself had the Tese of shifting between reality and illusion, which was almost a perfect counter to a martial artist like Kai.

"Every attack you make against me is killing the Spirit Body of Gojo Satoru."

"The weaker Gojo Satoru's Spirit Body becomes, the faster the Huangquanzhimen will open."

Bai Mian's face was revealed from under her cloak for the first time; it was an exquisite, petite face, likely not even the size of one of Kai's palms, but this woman with the exquisite face had an expression as if she were broken.

She would soon be able to transcend life and death in the baptism of the Yellow Springs and become someone who, in a certain sense, approached the highest realm of Yin-Yang Arts.

She could quickly turn her spirit into a 【Super Spirit Body】 from this path, thereby crossing her own shackles in one step, entering the 【Xiong】 grade, and perhaps even walking toward the position of 【Shaman King】 later on.

Kai frowned; he increasingly realized his own inadequacies. It seemed that ever since the team suffered major losses and the team strategist 【Yanqiu】 was killed, his decision-making had slowly lost its balance.

At this very moment, he was somewhat bewildered by Bai Mian's words, and he actually did not know whether he should continue to attack right now.

"Don't listen to her demonic lies; the King of Cursed Spirits, Gojo Satoru, has already awakened. Kill her, Kai!"

Laogui, who was being burned by the Fox Fire, roared. His soul was rapidly being whittled away and weakened, but this man suddenly crushed a certain item.

Bang!

A circle of intense aura spread out.

Laogui let out a painful roar; his figure immediately elongated, his hair turned white and rapidly dragged behind him, his figure elongated further, and his loose robe could not hide his body being torn apart.

"Ah!"

He completely turned into a Ghost swordsman, with a Hannya mask fused into his face.

The Tachi in his hand was sheathed, his center of gravity lowered, and in the next moment, amidst a surge of intense Demon Qi.

A brilliant sword light lit up.

Clang!

The brilliance of this sword strike instantly overwhelmed Xia Youjie's "Cursed Technique Cannon," and Bai Mian also felt a tremor in her heart. She raised her hands, and amidst the rising intense Witch Power, ghostly blue flames burned, transforming into a blue-and-white wall. Pfft!

The sword light plunged into the flames and instantly pierced through her body.

Blood sprayed from Bai Mian's waist and abdomen.

But at the same time, a huge gash appeared on Laogui's waist and abdomen, and his intestines spilled out instantly.

His figure hunched over, no longer able to resist, and he was swallowed by the ghostly blue flames.

"Kai... kill her!"

The final voice of Laogui rang in Kai's ear, and this hesitant man finally seemed to awaken as if from a dream.

Bang!

With his whole body shining with the power of Wave, a silver-white Ripple instantly expanded.

Kai's figure swelled slightly, his entire body seemingly wrapped in the power of Wave, shining with a silver-white radiance.

"Sorry, Laogui, and... thank you for being willing to believe in me."

At this moment, the words of White Face appeared in Kai's heart; his thoughts had indeed been seen through, and ever since those brothers who had trusted him and walked with him all the way died one by one, he had begun to doubt himself.

!

Letting White Face use various bizarre abilities to escape time and time again, and watching as he was slowly surpassed by the opponent, he began to distrust himself in his own heart.

Even he himself hadn't noticed that he was just blindly chasing White Face's tracks, exchanging resources for various attributes and abilities, but the determination that he would inevitably win had long since vanished from his heart.

Just like in the past, he wouldn't care about any rituals at all; he believed in his own fists, which could break through all obstacles and shatter White Face himself, and all conspiracies would naturally lose their foundation.

But this time, he began to fear, began to think...

Old Ghost used his own death to tear away the disguise that White Face's ability was invincible.

She also needed to defend, and she would also get hurt.

After the sudden explosion of Fighting Spirit, a terrifying aura spread from within Kai's body; at this moment, a true 【Strong/High-Ranking】 Reincarnator began to display his presence.

"Acceleration..."

Acceleration was hiding several hundred meters away, his face pale, not knowing at all what he should do, when he suddenly heard Kai's voice and turned back.

"Uh, Boss, what do you want me to do?"

Kai did not look back, only saying:

"Run."

"Huh?"

Acceleration had not yet recovered his senses, but the place where Kai stood had already turned into the center of a hurricane.

"I said, run."

"Go find Issho, and run as far away as possible with him; tell him that the Fifth Element is handed over to him from now on."

【You have transferred the position of team leader】

Acceleration was stunned; at this time, that intense Wave was like a hurricane, completely dispelling the curse within the Barrier, and his vision returned to normal.

Except for Gojo Satoru, who still seemed to be slowly recovering and mutating in the air, everyone's movements were clear at a glance.

Kai's hair danced wantonly like weeds in the wind, and his slightly old-fashioned jacket also snapped loudly.

But that unprecedentedly powerful spirit impacted Acceleration's heart bit by bit.

Acceleration was certain at this moment that this was truly that 【Kai】, that pure combat-type Reincarnator who led the 【Fifth Element】 to rise rapidly and shattered many powerful enemies with his fists.

The relaxed smile on White Face's face had also dissipated at this time; she looked indifferently at Kai, who had regained his Way heart below, as if she had lost a beloved toy.

She liked to toy with people's hearts, especially guys like Kai who looked incomparably strong.

"White Face, in this battle today, I might die."

"But you will absolutely not leave unscathed either."

Kai's expression was serious, and the next moment, his Footwork moved.

Without the exaggerated movements of Bai Cangshu, Kai was already able to fully control his nearly 40 points of Strength.

Taking one step out, dozens of phantoms appeared; White Face once again pulled out a wall of Fox Fire, her abilities true and false, and her real ability was always disguised beneath that appearance.

Kai knew that this wall could reflect damage, but it didn't matter; he just needed to know that the opponent would also get hurt.

Kai threw a punch, and green, red, and yellow lights shone simultaneously on his fist; carrying brilliant colors, he appeared before the fire wall almost like a teleportation and threw a punch.

Bang!

The air caved in, then suddenly shattered.

Sonic boom clouds exploded in front of Kai's fist one after another.

The terrifying impact force exploded destructively.

The vigorous Fighting Spirit completely pierced through White Face's defense in an instant, bursting out of her body with a boom.

Her powerful Witch Power was unable to fully reflect this blow, and she herself spat out blood instead.

Not only that, the intense Fighting Spirit and Wave caused White Face's figure to stiffen, briefly losing the ability to act.

Her pupils shrank as she watched Kai shift his center of gravity back and tense his muscles, and her heart sank.

Kai, meanwhile, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the intense Fighting Spirit spread around him as if burning.

"Clench your teeth and take this blow."
