Chapter 533

The laughter of the woman in the priest's robes lasted only for an instant.

"You—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Kurama Heihachi, who was already like a candle in the wind, found strength from somewhere unknown, dragged his broken body to slam her to the ground, and tightly covered her mouth.

"Mmph, mmph, mmph!"

If she had been in a normal state, Kurama Heihachi would not have been a threat to her. But now she was gradually losing control of her body and could not mobilize her Qi, so she was actually firmly suppressed.

She could only glare at Kurama Heihachi in anger.

But Kurama Heihachi gave a ferocious smile.

"You won't leave anything behind!"

"Including your last words!"

He covered the woman's mouth with all his might. The woman naturally struggled violently, her hands pushing wildly at his chest, but suddenly, there was a *puchi* sound.

The woman's palm had stabbed into his body along the wounds.

As the woman struggled wildly, she suddenly noticed Kurama Heihachi's face turn pale, the strength suppressing her weakened significantly, and combined with the wet, soft sensation coming from her palm, she immediately understood the situation.

She hurriedly reached into Kurama Heihachi's body and tore at him.

At the same time, she bit down hard on the palm covering her mouth and nose.

Flesh and blood kept sliding out from the wounds.

Kurama Heihachi lost more and more strength, but he still desperately kept the woman's mouth covered.

The shrine maidens who guard the various Shinto shrines are women from the Emperor's lineage who, after contemplating the divine painting of the Sun Goddess, form a false personality absolutely loyal to Shinto and the Sun Goddess.

And through the previous experiment with Ji Tianrui, they discovered that this should be a sword move originating from True Man Sanfeng, which can suppress this false personality.

Yes, suppress, not destroy.

She will be trapped in this body forever, observing and feeling everything, but will never be able to take any action again.

Because of this, Kurama Heihachi set his plan for revenge.

For a fanatic, the most terrifying thing is definitely not death, so he would not kill her. But he would make her watch as the most terrifying things happened.

Kurama Heihachi's body was hollowed out.

The woman's eyes became increasingly chaotic.

At the final moment, Kurama Heihachi finally lost his strength, suddenly collapsed onto her, and in the last moment before completely losing consciousness, he leaned against her ear.

"..."

"!!!"

It is unknown what Kurama Heihachi said, but the woman's originally dim eyes suddenly cleared for an instant, and anger and fear as deep and surging as the sea erupted!

"Bastard! You—"

She shouted half a sentence in anger.

Her expression suddenly changed, becoming bewildered and at a loss. Her hands instinctively pushed forward, flipping Kurama Heihachi's corpse to the side. After seeing the situation around her, she suddenly let out a scream.

"Ahhh!!"

She supported herself on the ground with her hands and kept backing away. After retreating a few steps, she slipped on the blood, the back of her head hit the ground with a *bang*, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.

The surroundings finally quieted down.

In the middle of the corridor, the illusion suddenly dissipated, revealing Li Miao and Ji Tianrui, who had watched the whole drama.

Only, unlike before, Ji Tianrui's light laughter had subsided, and instead, a trace of gravity appeared.

"Lord Li, we are in trouble."

"The Yin Flow has been lost."

She reached out and pointed forward, toward the fainted woman.

"I myself received news that the Yin Flow inheritance was at the Hachiman Shrine, which is why I brought you here. On one hand, to see what secrets the Hachiman Shrine was hiding, and on the other, to find this final original sword technique."

"Once you and I join forces to deduce it and reach the True Constant realm, we will then go to the capital and the Ise Grand Shrine."

"But if what she said just now is true... then we are in trouble."

Ji Tianrui looked toward Li Miao.

"The original sword technique left by Master Jianzhen is just a key; each one is indispensable. Even for you and me, if we haven't gathered all four sword techniques, it will be very difficult to deduce the full secret manual for a while... Lord Li, did Master Jianzhen not tell you anything before he died?"
