Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Three days later, at six o'clock in the afternoon, inside an abandoned building in Kyoto.

“It's rare for a ‘door’ to appear…”

Looking at the “door” in front of him, which was about forty percent open, Yexing muttered to himself.

Just then, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Among the beings he had contracted with, one was on the verge of life and death, causing the power of the contract to weaken significantly.

It wasn't any member of the Super Power Club, but…

Yexing looked at the slightly open “door” in front of him, which exuded wisps of thick black mist. The smile on his face disappeared, and he simply whispered to himself.

“Something happened to Tamamo-no-Mae.”

Chapter 216: The Exorcist's Single Blade Asura, the Greatest Crisis Faced by the Super Power Club

At the same time, in the Reverse World of Kyoto City.

“Roar!!!”

Tamamo-no-Mae, transformed into a giant fox, squeezed a ferocious roar from her throat. The large patches of dirty blood staining her snow-white fur made her look somewhat disheveled at the moment.

“I will kill you.”

A tall evil spirit with a towering build and decaying gray skin, wielding a spiked wooden club, swung the weapon in his hand and directly smashed a wheel with a human head, also known as the Wanyūdō in the Sakura Province's Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

It wasn't just the Wanyūdō.

As a leader in the Reverse World, Tamamo-no-Mae had hundreds of evil spirits at her command.

But now…

As the last Wanyūdō was smashed flat, torn into pieces by the swarming evil spirits, and swallowed into their bellies, Tamamo-no-Mae's forces…

Were completely wiped out.

Even Tamamo-no-Mae herself, in her true form, had dozens of evil spirits the size of humans, using their filthy teeth to viciously tear at her.

“Die, all of you!!!”

Seeing her subordinates completely annihilated, a look of sorrow appeared in Tamamo-no-Mae's fox eyes. She roared angrily, swinging her giant claws and directly slamming more than a dozen evil spirits in front of her into the ground.

As the Reverse World evil spirit formed from people's negative impressions of the “Tamamo-no-Mae” concept in the legends and stories of Sakura Province, her strength was far beyond what ordinary evil spirits could contend with.

But… this didn't change anything.

Hundreds of evil spirits, and the viscous, thick black mist that resembled a fluid, surrounded Tamamo-no-Mae.

Every time she killed a few, a dozen, or dozens of evil spirits, no matter how many she killed, no matter how fast she killed them, new evil spirits would immediately appear in the black mist, filling the gaps in the encirclement.

Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't remember how many evil spirits she had killed.

The only thing she could feel was the power in her body gradually draining away, almost completely exhausted.

Although the individual strength of these evil spirits emerging from the black mist was much weaker than Tamamo-no-Mae, their numbers were astonishing, constantly emerging like a tide.

“Huff… Huff…”

Tamamo-no-Mae, in her true form, lowered her body to the ground, her two rows of sharp, white teeth bared. Although she was still barely holding on, her increasingly heavy breathing betrayed her precarious situation.

Just then, a strong fluctuation suddenly appeared in the viscous black mist.

A huge evil spirit, shaped like a giant centipede with many legs and a distorted human face for a head, flashed out of the black mist.

The several mouths on its face opened in unison, its sharp teeth tearing towards Tamamo-no-Mae's neck.

Tamamo-no-Mae tried to prop herself up to counterattack, but her limbs went limp, and her huge white body collapsed to the ground.

“Is this the end…”

Tamamo-no-Mae looked at the giant centipede evil spirit lunging towards her, and the surrounding evil spirits and monsters, like vultures seeing a corpse, gradually surrounding her, preparing to devour her completely. The expression in her eyes was extremely calm as she whispered to herself.

“Hachishaku said… the most delicious milk in the human world… what kind of taste is it… I won't be able to taste it after all…”

Just as Tamamo-no-Mae transformed back into human form, slumped to the ground, and slowly closed her eyes, waiting in peace for the moment of her demise, a familiar voice rang out from behind her.

“Exterminate all evil, the end of eight million.”

Tamamo-no-Mae opened her eyes, and what came into her sight was a burning darkness.

“Ye… Yexing-kun…”

Yexing stood in front of Tamamo-no-Mae, his right hand resting on the Onimaru Kunitsuna at his waist, staring directly at the giant centipede evil spirit pouncing out of the black mist. A look of madness appeared in his eyes beneath the black mask.

Beneath his coat, his right arm had completely transformed into the appearance of a pale demon hand.

“Come on.”

“I will kill you!”

This evil spirit, shaped like a centipede with a twisted body, had dozens of legs like a human beneath its body, supporting it.

To be honest, even Tamamo-no-Mae found its appearance disgusting.

Although she was also an evil spirit, her appearance was very beautiful.

Moreover, Tamamo-no-Mae hated ugly things.

Yexing's reaction was completely different from hers.

“Looks delicious.”

Hearing Yexing's words, which carried a hint of a smile, Tamamo-no-Mae's expression became somewhat complicated.

As expected of you.

Even at such a terrifying time, you still have an appetite.

After reciting the True Name of the Soul and releasing his soul's personification, Yexing once again possessed the ability to transform the reasonable logic in his imagination into his own reality.

He gripped the hilt of the Onimaru Kunitsuna in his right hand, looked at the centipede head that was less than a meter away from him, and whispered a sentence.

“Single Blade Asura.”

The jet-black flames, as if stimulated by something, rose on the black coat.

Even the blade of Onimaru Kunitsuna was enveloped in black flames.

“This is…”

Feeling the intense spiritual power erupting from Yo Hoshi, before Tamamo-no-Mae could even feel shocked, a black arc, like a comet, streaked across her vision.

When she could see clearly again, she discovered that the giant centipede evil spirit had suddenly stopped moving, its distorted pupils, filled with dark red blood vessels, were filled with disbelief.

The next second.

Yo Hoshi acted as if he had never moved, simply sheathing Onimaru Kunitsuna and saying softly.

“That’s all.”

There was no sound, only a gust of cold wind blowing past, as if responding to Yo Hoshi’s words, the body of the giant centipede evil spirit split into countless pieces.

Not only it, but also the hundreds of humanoid evil spirits that had formed a circle around them, their bodies were also torn to pieces in an instant.

Yo Hoshi opened his mouth, and with a swallowing motion, all the remnants of the surrounding evil spirits turned into balls of black mist and were swallowed into his stomach.

“I’ll be…”

Tamamo-no-Mae, who was usually elegant and ladylike, was shocked by the scene before her.

She knew Yo Hoshi was strong, but to kill so many evil spirits in the blink of an eye was beyond her imagination.

Moreover…

You can really eat a lot, huh!?

Hundreds of evil spirits, plus that huge centipede monster, he devoured so much evil spirit power in just a breath?

So exaggerated…

“That was great.”

Swallowing so many evil spirits at once was a wonderful feast for Yo Hoshi.

Exquisite cuisine is certainly good.

But a free all-you-can-eat buffet is also an essential part.

Yo Hoshi noticed that although he had eliminated all the evil spirits, the thick black mist in front of him had not dissipated, but was still slowly extending towards them.

He turned around, looked at Tamamo-no-Mae, who was paralyzed on the ground, and reached out his hand.

“Can you still stand up?”

Tamamo-no-Mae did not choose to be stubborn, but took Yo Hoshi’s hand and stood up with all her strength.

Her delicate and charming face still showed obvious signs of fatigue, but she was not seriously injured, and she forced a smile.

“Yo Hoshi-kun… our contract terms… don’t include… *huff*… don’t include you having to save me… you came to save me… I’m really pleasantly surprised.”

“That means the contract should be upgraded.”

Hearing Yo Hoshi’s joking words, Tamamo-no-Mae’s attention was not on the simple words, but she noticed that Yo Hoshi’s eyes when looking at her seemed to have changed compared to before.

Tamamo-no-Mae didn’t know how to describe it.

If she had to say it, Yo Hoshi used to look at her with an admiring gaze.

This kind of appreciation was not the possessiveness or love that came from seeing a beautiful woman.

But a condescending, emotionless appreciation of a diner for food.

Because of this, Tamamo-no-Mae had always been a little timid, afraid that this mentally unstable exorcist would one day get the urge to eat her.

But now, Yo Hoshi-kun seems to be truly treating her as an equal, rather than as food.

Plus, the phrase “the contract should be upgraded”…

Does it prove that she finally has a place in his heart?

“Let’s talk in a safer place.”

…

Five minutes later, inside a house on the street.

“Once again, I thank you for your rescue.”

Tamamo-no-Mae bowed deeply, completely unconcerned that this action would expose the patch of snow-white skin beneath her loose kimono.

“There’s no need to say more words of thanks.”

Yo Hoshi waved his hand and smiled.

“If you’re really grateful to me, then let me take a bite. I haven’t tasted what you taste like yet.”

Tamamo-no-Mae’s smile froze, and she said awkwardly.

“That… won’t be necessary.”

“Okay, let’s get down to business. Why did this kind of thing happen?”

Yo Hoshi sat down on the sofa, removed the disguise of “Masque,” and returned to his usual attire.

Tamamo-no-Mae was about to answer, but the touch of scarlet that caught her eye startled her and her pupils shrank.

“Yo… Yo Hoshi-sama, are you injured?”

Yo Hoshi looked down and saw a long, deep wound, deep enough to see the bone, on his right arm. The flesh was torn open on both sides, looking gruesome, and blood dripped from his arm, down his fingertips, and onto the ground.

“Oh, this, it doesn’t matter.”

Yo Hoshi waved his hand dismissively.

“I just used an ability that puts a high load on my body in order to eliminate those guys as soon as possible, so it’s normal for this to happen.”

As he said this, a layer of jet-black flames appeared around his wound. After burning for a few moments, the slender wound quickly healed, without even leaving a scar.

Seeing this scene, Tamamo-no-Mae was amazed by Yo Hoshi’s strong recovery ability, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a little heavy in her heart.

Last time… even when fighting that giant evil spirit, he had never suffered such injuries.

But this time, he was injured.

Was it because he wanted to protect her?
