Chapter 108: Fighting one against four, still relaxed!

"Fushiguro, what type of shikigami does he summon specifically?"

Although it was a situation of four against one, Maki still didn't have the slightest carelessness. While holding the Special Grade Cursed Tool Playful Cloud and approaching Shengzai, she asked Fushiguro Megumi, the only one who knew Shengzai's information, while running.

As companions for a long time, even without too much communication, Maki was very familiar with the combat styles of Toge and Xiong Mao, and their cooperation was very tacit.

Toge, as a Cursed Speech user, didn't have no physical ability at all, but compared to Maki and Xiong Mao, it was clearly far inferior.

Shengzai's physical ability shown before, even facing the "Gorilla" state Xiong Mao, could still easily suppress him.

And with such physical ability, Toge getting close to him was basically no different from going up to send his head.

Not counting the super-standard combat power of Okkotsu Yuta, the cooperation of the three of them in the past when fighting powerful Cursed Spirits was always Maki responsible for containment, Toge using Cursed Speech techniques for strong control, and finally the strongest Xiong Mao in the Gorilla state for the finishing blow.

But the point of the problem now was that, besides learning about Shengzai's martial arts, they didn't know what type of shikigami he summoned.

Not knowing the specific information and abilities of the other party meant they couldn't formulate a suitable combat plan, which would also make them quite passive.

After all, Toge and Maki were not Cursed Corpses like Xiong Mao. One was a Cursed Speech user with average physical ability, and one was a normal human without Cursed Energy and techniques. If they were hit by that kind of heavy blow from Shengzai before, they would probably be unable to get up after two or three hits.

"I once saw him summon three shikigami at the same time, which were a golden dragon with long horns, a fierce tiger burning with fire, and a fox with a crescent moon tail.

Among them, the long-horned golden dragon possesses the power of wind, and the fierce tiger steps on fire with four hooves, which should have impressive fire ability.

As for that fox, I haven't seen it use its ability, so its ability is unknown."

Fushiguro Megumi summoned two Divine Dogs, one black and one white, and now rushed to both sides of Maki, also rushing toward the direction where Shengzai was.

As for himself, he needed to be responsible for protecting Toge-senpai, avoiding Toge-senpai being sneak-attacked by Shengzai when using Cursed Speech techniques.

"Tsk, he can actually summon three shikigami at the same time, and each shikigami sounds quite powerful."

Hearing Fushiguro Megumi's words, Maki couldn't help but click her tongue, and soon her figure had arrived in front of Shengzai, and the Special Grade Cursed Tool "Playful Cloud" in her hand also directly swung out a sonic boom in the air.

Facing the "Playful Cloud" sweeping over, Shengzai tilted his head slightly to dodge the first stage of the attack, but soon, Maki, who was holding the other end of the three-section staff, immediately rotated her body and stabbed the other end of the three-section staff directly toward Shengzai's abdomen.

Facing the "Playful Cloud" breaking through the air again, Shengzai could only lift his leg this time and use a knee-strike posture to block the Playful Cloud stabbed by Maki.

"BOOM——————!"

Air waves rolled out between the two, and almost the moment the dust was kicked up, Shengzai, who was colliding head-on with the Cursed Tool Playful Cloud with his knee, felt a sharp pain in his knee, and the huge impact force sent his body flying in the next second.

Maki, who looked slender, had more strength than the "Gorilla" state Xiong Mao?

Not really. Being able to easily send Shengzai flying was because of the Special Grade Cursed Tool in Maki's hand—Playful Cloud.

Playful Cloud was the only Special Grade Cursed Tool that hadn't been endowed with a technique. It was pure physical power, so its power largely depended on the arm strength of the holder.

Playful Cloud was a Special Grade Cursed Tool belonging to the Gojo family, and it was said that its market value was no less than 500 million yen. Originally, it was in the Cursed Tool inventory of Fushiguro Toji. After Toji died, it fell into the hands of Geto Suguru.

However, as everyone knew, the owners of Playful Cloud were basically short-lived, so after Geto Suguru died, Playful Cloud fell into Maki's hands again.

Maki's physical fitness was already impressive. Although she couldn't exert the full power of this Special Grade Cursed Tool "Playful Cloud" now, it was enough to easily send Shengzai flying.

Shengzai, whose body was sent flying, hadn't had time to react before Fushiguro Megumi's two Divine Dogs pounced on him at the same time.

"Shikigami Summoning: Azure Dragon———Wei Huo Hu!"

A huge technique formation appeared out of thin air, and accompanied by a burst of flames, a fierce tiger with fire burning on its tail and four feet stepping on fire suddenly roared and arrived.

Facing the pouncing Divine Dogs, Wei Huo Hu, whose body was clearly larger, suddenly roared and flew out from behind Shengzai, and with one claw directly slapped the white Divine Dog flying, and opened its blood-red mouth to bite the black Divine Dog.

And seeing the blood-red mouth that was enough to bite its body in half, the black Divine Dog's reaction was also quite fast, and its body directly turned into a shadow and merged into the ground.

"Xiong Mao, it's up to you!"

When hearing Maki's voice, Shengzai also suddenly felt an astonishing sense of oppression coming from behind.

However, just when he was preparing to react, Xiong Mao's figure completely enveloped Shengzai, and he stretched out two powerful arms to hug Shengzai directly from behind.

"In terms of speed and martial arts, Xiong Mao might not be as good as you, but in terms of strength alone, Xiong Mao won't lose to you!"

Shengzai, who was hugged by Xiong Mao from behind with both hands, naturally tried to break free, but unfortunately, no matter how his arms exerted force, he couldn't break free from Xiong Mao's true bear hug in this situation!

After all, just as Xiong Mao had said before, in terms of speed and technique, Shengzai might be better, but in terms of strength, Xiong Mao in the "Gorilla" state was not inferior to Shengzai at all.

"Xiong Mao Back-Throw———!"

Xiong Mao, who hugged Shengzai with both hands from behind, after tightly hugging Shengzai, began to exert force to lift Shengzai up, attempting to smash Shengzai's head toward the ground with a back-throw.

This kind of pure joint technique had nothing to do with speed. After all, Shengzai, who was hugged, had nowhere to hide at this moment.

However, just as Xiong Mao was smashing Shengzai's body toward the ground with a beautiful back-throw, the action he was performing suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

The reason was also very simple: because a giant snake that had appeared from who knows when suddenly coiled its body in a winding, twisting posture, tightly strangling the Xiong Mao's body.

Xiong Mao wanted to perform a back-throw, but his body was now tightly wrapped by the snake, so he couldn't move at all.

"A very tacit cooperation. If it were the old me, I might have fallen for it and become a head-first plant on the ground now.

But you seem to have forgotten that although I am alone, I can summon shikigami to assist in the battle.

Shikigami Summoning: Vermilion Bird———Yi Huo She!"

"HISSSSSS!"

The snake wrapping around Xiong Mao was covered in red scales, and there was a pair of wings on the snake's body. The eyes, which were like lanterns, were full of oppression, and now it was tightly wrapping around Xiong Mao's body and constantly spitting its tongue at him.
