Chapter 419: Rage of the Hibiki
These ghosts from Mount Oe were unexpectedly ferocious. In a short period of time, they turned the peaceful Yamawei Village into a horrific devil's kiln. The air was filled with the smell of blood and the atmosphere of despair that the ghosts loved the most.
The villagers in the village have become their playthings. Human heads with distorted features and extremely terrified expressions are randomly placed everywhere with wooden sticks, like human head lanterns. The skins peeled off alive are fixed on the wall and stretched out, allowing the ghosts to use blood as dye to smear them at will, drawing grotesque paintings.
Flesh and blood would not be wasted. Large pieces of meat were stuck on the fire and roasted. The dripping blood and secreted fat made the ghosts salivate. The internal organs were hardly processed at all and stewed into a big pot of delicious food. Not only was the color weird, but the smell was also extremely overpowering.
But the ghosts don’t care. When they eat humans, they make sure the food is cleared out by itself, so they rush to grab the food as soon as the pot opens.
When Xianggui, who came with great interest, saw this scene, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
Xianggui has been accepting offerings from Daoxiang Village since he was a child. Although he can only get a small amount of food, he has always been in peace.
After meeting Yan Xu, her food, clothing, housing and transportation improved dramatically. Not only did she have her own shrine and shrine maiden, but she also had many devout believers.
Although Xianggui knew that not all humans were good, he still couldn't accept seeing these humans being slaughtered at will.
"Oh, the leader of the hundred ghosts in Amano Castle is actually a female ghost. I am really surprised. Maybe giving you to my best friend will help him change his lustful habit." Ibaraki Douji is not fond of beautiful women, even though Hibiki is really beautiful. However, his best friend is addicted to alcohol and women. Maybe giving this female ghost to him will help him concentrate more.
These words completely infuriated Xianggui, and the soil under his feet collapsed deeply like cotton, until it was enough to support the huge and heavy body to be ejected.
Every step was accelerating, and the violent force burst out unrestrainedly. The mud under his feet exploded like water in a puddle. Xianggui now had only one thought, to blow the opponent's head off.
Ibaraki Douji's eyes lit up. The other party's strength was among the best even in Oeyama. It seemed that it would be a waste to send her to his best friend. It would be better to subdue her and let her work for Oeyama.
As for how to conquer them, of course, the answer is to beat them until they submit!
Ibaraki Douji smiled evilly, and poured terrifying demonic power into his one arm. The purple-black demonic fire on his ferocious ghost claw suddenly surged, and then he fiercely faced the ghost gold stick that was hitting him on the head.
The Vajra is the trump card, so in addition to a set of titanium alloy armor, Yan Xu also gave Xiang Gui a ghost gold stick forged with manganese steel.
The ghost gold stick, which is as thick as an ordinary person's thigh, is two meters long and can kill people with its weight alone. In the hands of the extremely powerful Xianggui, it can make a loud explosion that sucks the air apart. Even if an armored vehicle is hit by the stick, it will have to cover its waist and somersault, but Ibaraki Douji is not afraid at all.
Just a joke, Ibaraki One-Armed Douji's ghost hand is indestructible.
With a bang, the gas explosion caused by the collision formed a circle of obvious air waves, just like a large-caliber grenade exploded in the air, launching a terrible air shock to the surroundings, making the soil and rocks extremely lethal.
But this did not affect the two inhuman beings. Ibaraki Douji's ghost hand still held on to Hibiki's ghost gold rod tightly, and the purple-black demon fire was wrapped around it like a poisonous snake, trying to melt it. "What a hard metal! Ordinary steel would have been melted by my demon fire, but your ghost gold rod has no obvious damage." Although his arm trembled a little under the opponent's brute force, Ibaraki Douji did not take it to heart, but was surprised at the quality of the opponent's weapon, because his indestructible ghost hand only left a handprint on the ghost gold rod, but did not completely destroy it.
In fact, it is not that manganese steel has a higher melting point than ordinary steel, but mainly because the ghost gold rod is thicker and not as small as the weapons of the island country. Therefore, even if Ibaraki Douji's demon fire is very fierce, it can only soften the surface in a short time. If he wants to destroy the whole thing, he has to work harder.
Xiang Gui was very fond of the things Yan Xu gave her. When she saw that the Ghost Golden Stick was pinched by the other party with an indelible handprint, the hidden ghost power began to surge. The horn on her head grew longer, her eyes began to turn black, and red lines appeared faintly on the surface of her skin.
"The power of ghosts and gods?!" This time Ibaraki Douji was really surprised.
Monsters are monsters, ghosts and gods are ghosts and gods. The reason why Shuten-douji is called the Demon King of Mt. Oe and why Ibaraki-douji is called the Demon of Rashomon is because they all possess the power of ghosts and gods. No wonder he was so surprised.
"Looking for death!" Hibiki shouted, holding the stick in one hand, and with the other hand bullied Ibaraki Douji's one arm, made a circle, and smashed the other's annoying face hard.
Ibaraki Douji had rich combat experience. If he had not been shocked by the fact that Hibiki possessed the power of ghosts and gods, he would not have been successfully ambushed by Hibiki. However, as a Rashomon ghost, Ibaraki Douji's body was extremely tough. Even if he was hit by Hibiki's fist that could flatten steel, he was still able to stand. But his entire body was inevitably knocked flying, well, the kind that flew straight out.
"This guy is really too proud. He was knocked away, but he still insisted on standing." The earth spider hiding in the dark muttered.
"He is the famous Ibaraki Douji, how could he be knocked down by an unknown demon? He has no dignity at all." Leech said sarcastically. After all, even if he stood straight, it couldn't change the fact that he was knocked away.
"It seems that we have no chance to intervene this time." Tsuchigumo, who wanted to take revenge, said with some regret.
"Don't flatter yourself. The opponent is a Rashomon demon. Even if he stands still, we can't kill him." Leech rolled his eyes and said.
Although the strength of the two has been enhanced by the master, it does not mean that they have the strength to threaten Ibaraki Douji. The gap between the two sides is not only in quantity, but also in quality, unless the master gives them a stronger power.
The two could feel that the power bestowed upon them by their master was stronger and of higher quality than that of Ibaraki Douji.
Unfortunately, their foundation is too weak and they cannot withstand more power. If they increase it at all costs, they will only become monsters driven by power.
"And don't forget, our mission is not revenge, but protection." Without taking his eyes away from the battlefield, Leech said to Tsuchigumo.
"That's right." Tsuchigumo nodded in agreement.
The nature of the matter changed when Hibiki got involved. Revenge was not important. As two ninjas, they would not be easily swayed by unnecessary emotions. In comparison, protecting Hibiki, one of the mistresses, was the most important thing at the moment. Even though Hibiki was very strong, it did not mean that they could be careless.
