Chapter 1508: You Are Nothing But a Pawn

Onmyoji are skilled in Mind Power barriers, summoning death gods and demons from Hell to fight for them, but this fellow Mitsui Shanghe was so desperate for victory that he used such an extreme method.

This is a suicidal fighting style, and one with no way back; if he were to fail, he would suffer the backlash of the power and eventually vanish.

"Heh, Chen Yu, how long do you think you can hold out?" Mitsui Shanghe laughed loudly, the black aura on his body surging as he desperately attacked Chen Yu.

The Lichen in Chen Yu's hand was thrust into the ground, and vast Primordial Qi condensed before him, a light curtain like water ripples blocking his front.

Those auras swirled frantically, trying to break through Chen Yu's Primordial Qi, but they could not break through no matter what.

"Haha, you won't last long." Mitsui Shanghe laughed loudly, then frantically drove the aura on his body, surging toward Chen Yu.

"Do you really think these things are useful against me?" Chen Yu smiled: "A master of the Spirit Rhinoceros Realm, is that really someone you can defeat by sacrificing one of your souls?"

"These trinkets of yours can't even break through my defense, and you still think you can hurt me? Are you serious?" Chen Yu stared at him.

"You, Chen Yu, are very arrogant." Mitsui Shanghe sneered: "But I am different from you; I can risk my life with you."

Mitsui Shanghe closed his eyes and took a deep breath; a bloodstain suddenly appeared on his face.

This fellow had not only sacrificed one of his souls, but now another one; those gray auras swirled frantically and then condensed into a vortex, this vortex like a hurricane.

But Chen Yu could still deal with it easily, and he smiled: "Continue, it would be better if you burned all of your Three Souls and Seven Spirits."

Mitsui Shanghe was panting, his face pale and devoid of any color; having paid the price of sacrificing a soul and spirit, he had not caused Chen Yu any harm, which made him furious.

"Do you know why Matsuda handed you over to me?" Chen Yu smiled: "Is it really because he wanted you to earn merit?"

"Isn't it?" Mitsui Shanghe was slightly stunned; Chen Yu's words made him feel somewhat insecure.

"You are already several decades old, why are you so naive?" Chen Yu said leisurely: "Your so-called Myo-o is interested in me. If he brought me over, wouldn't that be a great merit?"

"He is already a White-robed High-level Onmyoji; he wants to pull me up, is there a problem with that?" Mitsui Shanghe asked, looking somewhat foolish.

"Above the White-robed Onmyoji are the Junior Shinto Priests, above the Junior Shinto Priests are the Great Divine Officials, and above the Great Divine Officials are the High Priests." Chen Yu said leisurely: "He hasn't climbed to the top yet, why would he give the credit to you for nothing?"

"He..." Mitsui Shanghe was stunned; indeed, he had been blinded by the prospect of merit just now and had never thought of these things.

"Why would he do this?" Mitsui Shanghe calmed down, and he looked up at Chen Yu.

"That is because he knows his combat power is not as good as mine." Chen Yu grinned, the Lichen in his hand vibrated, and he slashed forward with a sword; that gray aura was split in two.

A figure flashed; he had already crossed that mass of energy, then brandished the Lichen in his hand, sweeping past Mitsui Shanghe.

A flash of blood appeared; Mitsui Shanghe let out a miserable cry, one of his arms was severed by the Lichen, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, his face as white as paper, unable to even stand up for a moment.

The souls in this fellow's body were already damaged, and now that he was seriously injured, he would inevitably suffer the backlash of the power.

"How did someone like you manage to survive in the Divine Path until now?" Chen Yu smiled: "Although I don't understand your Divine Path, I can tell from Matsuda Fengshang how fierce the infighting is inside."

"You were just used as a pawn like that? Don't you have any ability to judge?"

"Ah..." Mitsui Shanghe screamed; black smoke began to rise from his body, and his body was disappearing bit by bit.

"You have already been backlashed; having injured your own soul and spirit, you will soon vanish into thin air." Chen Yu said with some regret: "Reaching your level as a mid-level Onmyoji is quite difficult. In your Fusang, there wouldn't be more than fifty, right? Are you really content to be used as a pawn?"

"I am not content, I am not content." Mitsui Shanghe hissed; of course he was not content.

Decades of cultivation, having finally climbed to his current position, but now he had been set up by someone; of course he was not content.

"Yes, I'm afraid no one would be content." Chen Yu sighed slightly and said: "You have a family, right? And children? You are their only pillar; if you die, what will they do?"

Mitsui Shanghe's face turned ghastly pale; he was different from other Onmyoji, he did indeed have a family, so if he died, his wife and children would certainly have no one to take care of them.

"I am also a father." Chen Yu said leisurely: "So I can understand your current feelings, but don't worry, I won't lay a hand on them; that is my bottom line as a person."

"But others, that's hard to say."

"You... can you help me?" Mitsui Shanghe looked up expectantly: "I don't ask you to do much, I only ask that they not be bullied after I die."

"I can help you, but what will you use as a reward?" Chen Cong stared at Mitsui Shanghe.

"I can take you to the main ritual site; there are three Divine Officials performing a ritual there. They are at a critical moment now; they are trying to awaken the seal of the Shuten-doji avatar."

Mitsui Shanghe steadied himself, trying hard to demonstrate his value: "And they are at a critical moment now; as long as you go in, the three Divine Officials will have no power to fight back at all."

"Matsuda must have made preparations, right?" Chen Yu thought for a moment and said: "I need a way to quickly break through Matsuda's defenses, otherwise, if the people inside react, it will be a great battle," Chen Yu said.

His worry was not without reason; the three Divine Officials were currently breaking the seal, and if Chen Yu rushed in, he would certainly disturb them.

But the mentality of these devils is extremely explosive; what if Chen Yu goes in and they see they can't continue, and they just destroy this place?

There are still more than thirty people trapped in the underwater laboratory; if this place is really destroyed, the mission will fail, and it will be the destruction of more than thirty lives.

"This is our Onmyoji's Binding God Order." Mitsui Shanghe exerted his Primordial Qi, his hands forming a light seal: "With this, you can break through Matsuda's barrier. His barrier is nothing more than Mirror Space, Foreign Peak, and the like. Since you can walk out of the Mirror Space, other barriers are no longer a big problem for you."
