Chapter 418 Strong Will to Fight

Yan Xu would certainly not let go of the matter of Ibaraki Douji, otherwise, countless troubles would come to him. He was not afraid, but he was annoyed.

No matter where you are, weakness will only attract more bullying, especially in a place like an island country. A hard punch back can solve most problems. If not, it means you didn't hit hard enough.

However, this matter has not reached the point where Yan Xu has to take action personally, because there is absolutely no need. Keeping so many subordinates is not just for eating.

Originally, he wanted to ask Lao Niu to go and use a stick to beat the Ibaraki Douji into small pieces, but he didn't expect that Xiang Gui would find out about this and he insisted on going too, which gave Yan Xu a headache. If he didn't agree, he was afraid that he would get sciatica.

"I want to go, let me go!" Xiang Gui acted like a spoiled child and used his arms that could bend steel structures to tightly hold Yan Xu's neck, causing most of his head to sink into the fullness like solid rubber. While feeling the amazing elasticity, it was also a test for his cervical spine. After all, the cervical spine of ordinary people cannot withstand such intense force.

Yan Xu was quite generous to his women, so Xiang Gui's strength was not limited by the ghost clan at all. Especially after awakening the power of ghosts, he evolved the ghost power into the power of ghost gods by building temples and consecrating gods and nourishing them with incense. His strength improved by leaps and bounds. This also made it very difficult for Yan Xu to turn the tables in hand-to-hand combat. When Xiang Gui got angry, his hips and nerves would hurt, and he really couldn't stand it.

Yan Xu, feeling his cervical spine groaning, had no choice but to agree. He rubbed his neck and watched Xiang Gui leave with joyful steps, and then asked someone to repair the floor full of holes.

"With your weight and your small steps, you would have sunk in long ago if the floor hadn't been thickened." Yan Xu shook his head and said, while the craftsmen had already skillfully moved the heavy wooden boards to replace them. Apparently, this was not the first time this had happened.

After getting permission, Xianggui ran back to her shrine happily. With a body over two meters tall and weighing hundreds of pounds, she ran with the joy of a girl on a summer beach. She really dug a hole with every step, and the hardened ground felt like mud under her feet.

So don't be fooled by her happy smile, which is very contagious and can make bystanders smile happily too. The premise is that you don't let her bump into you, otherwise, not to mention people, even horses can't withstand such a collision.

In the territory of the Moroboshi family, the largest shrines are the Guandi Temple and the Mazu Temple, followed by the Ryujinni Shrine and the Yamami Shrine, which respectively enshrine Fukushima-hime and Hibiki, so the incense is very good. However, Maki, who was promoted from a shrine maiden to a shrine chief, has always been troubled by the willfulness of her own gods.

In the past, a box of mooncakes could make her sit there obediently for half a day. Now, maybe it’s because she has entered maturity, but she has become more and more aggressive.

This is the nature of ghosts, and Maki can do nothing about it. She can only try to do what she can.

He held a formal departure ceremony with his priestesses, and then worked together to put armor on the great god.

The previous military coat and armor had been replaced long ago. The thickness of this titanium alloy armor was measured in centimeters. The inside was a dense metal wire braid, and the outer forged armor was stacked on top of each other. Without considering the weight, the defense of the entire set of armor was incredibly high. It could almost withstand most modern individual weapons. In the era of cold weapons, even if encountered in the high-level martial arts world where swords were whizzing out, it could still withstand a few.

After struggling to put on the entire set of armor for his god, Maki took out a treasure enshrined on the altar without even taking a rest.

This is a Buddhist vajra, which was given to Xianggui by Yan Xu. It is called the Mighty Vajra Pestle and is a mid-grade magic weapon that can amplify strength, provide defense, and stabilize the mind. It is also not affected by hallucinations and is most suitable for a tank like her.

Fully armed and full, Hibiki grabbed a handful of incense and gathered his troops to prepare for the battle. Because the opponent was Ibaraki Douji of Mount Oe, ordinary soldiers were not competent at all, and using firearms was not an option. The opponent was not a huge centipede, and it was difficult to suppress it with current firearms. Once it got close, it would be a massacre. Therefore, except for the Tsuchigumo and leech who were going to take revenge, Hibiki gathered all the demons subdued by the Moroboshi family.

Not all of the ghosts are very strong. In fact, most of them are not much more harmful than samurai. In addition, the Moroboshi family has professional Onmyoji and shrine maidens, so it is not difficult to subdue them. It's just that it is not easy to gather a hundred of them, because the required ghosts need to have a certain degree of popularity, that is, they have special legends, and such ghosts are generally scattered all over the island.

Only by gathering together all the hundreds of ghosts with their own legends, can the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons attract enough people's hearts and gather enough momentum to help them ascend the ladder.

"One incense stick for each ghost, and there will be one more stick when you come back. Take them all and eat them quickly." Xianggui grabbed a handful of incense and distributed them to the ghosts that the Zhuxing family had subdued.

The incense is specially made and contains the power of incense. Although it is only of low quality, it is a good thing for these ghosts. After all, they can only gain a little fear by scaring humans on weekdays. This incense is not as good as it is. Not only is the quantity large, but the taste is also strong.

Xianggui also needs incense, but the incense she uses is medium-grade, which is purer.

For ordinary ghosts, low-quality incense rich in impurities of negative emotions is more to their liking. After all, what they absorbed before was the fear contained in negative emotions such as fear, terror and despair from humans.

However, their instincts also crave for the purity of middle-grade incense, because when their strength reaches a bottleneck, they need middle-grade incense to help them break through and become more powerful monsters.

After breathing in the incense, the ghosts with high morale followed Hibiki to Oyama where Ibaraki Douji was. However, Tsuchigumo and Mizuji acted separately from them because of their professions.

After knowing this, Yan Xu shook his head and asked Sha and Yu to follow with their men, taking the opportunity to subdue some ghosts from Mount Oe and supplement the Moroboshi family's album of a hundred ghosts.

If it were the world of Journey to the West, when monsters travel, there would naturally be evil winds blowing up black smoke and flying sand and rocks along the way. But in the world of Japan, Xiang Gui and other monsters can only travel on foot, chattering all the way like they are on a spring outing.

However, Xianggui didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was in high spirits and was looking forward to the upcoming battle.

"Ok?"

In Yamao Village at the foot of Mt. Oyama, Ibaraki Douji, who was enjoying the captured spoils, was suddenly stunned, because he felt a strong demonic aura gradually approaching, and was surrounded by hundreds of demons, almost forming a force, which means that he was only one step away from the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

"Interesting, it seems that the other party is right. Amano Castle is indeed an undiscovered treasure land. As long as we conquer this place, Oeyama will be unstoppable." Facing the attack of a powerful enemy, Ibaraki Douji with red eyes, white hair and wearing a ghost-faced armor was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed loudly, picked up the wine bowl with one arm and drank it all.

"My dear friend, let us use your wine to fight against the strong enemy together." After drinking the wine he brought, Ibaraki Douji, whose demonic aura became more and more violent, laughed loudly, and his fighting spirit began to become fierce.
