Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"I'm just warming up, don't disappoint me."

As the words fell, Yusei instantly appeared in front of a wraith.

This wraith was over two meters tall and very stout, with a black chain hanging on its chest, occasionally making a soft clanging sound.

Combined with that twisted and terrifying face, a timid person would probably faint if they saw this guy in the middle of the night.

But now, it was completely reversed.

Seeing Yusei come before it, a look of horror appeared in the bloodshot pupils of the wraith.

Before it could react, its neck was seized by Yusei's pale left hand.

"Bang."

With a muffled sound, Yusei, in an extremely brutal motion, directly slammed the wraith in his hand heavily onto the ground.

"Keep going."

Yusei raised his foot and stepped on the wraith's head.

"Smash."

Without the slightest hesitation or delay, he directly crushed the wraith's head, a cruel delight surfacing in his eyes.

"No, that's not right."

Yotsuya Miko watched this scene, a complex look appearing in her eyes.

Yusei's style when fighting wraiths this time seemed similar to before, but she felt that there was a subtle yet crucial difference.

In the past, Yusei would never show mercy when facing wraiths, focusing on delivering the final blow until the opponent turned into black smoke and dissipated before stopping the attack.

However.

Back then, Yusei's goal was "killing"; all actions were solely for the sake of killing wraiths.

But now…

Yotsuya Miko had a vague feeling.

Yusei was enjoying the process of slaughtering wraiths?

Yotsuya Miko didn't understand why he had changed like this, she only knew one thing.

Yusei in this state was even more intimidating to wraiths than usual.

"Roar… hiss…"

The wraiths made unintelligible sounds, retreating backward non-stop, looking as if they were frightened by the slaughter.

Just then, the vertical eye of the snake-like wraith coiled around suddenly narrowed slightly.

A sound familiar to Yotsuya Miko, one that had haunted her nightmares several times, like hundreds of people whispering in unison, echoed once again in the corridor.

"What… what's that sound?"

Hearing Yuino's question, Yotsuya Miko took two steps back, shielding her, a look of great alarm appearing in her eyes.

"Be careful, I might not be able to protect you in the scene that follows."

Before coming here, Yotsuya Miko had discussed the suspicious points of the snake-like wraith with Yusei.

This wraith was an extremely special existence among all the wraiths Yotsuya Miko had ever seen.

Because this guy's size was simply too enormous, so enormous that it was already abnormal.

It was hard to imagine that a human soul would transform into such a form because of some obsession.

In addition to that strange whispering sound.

In the end, only one conclusion could be drawn.

The true form of this snake-like wraith…

"Roar!!!"

The hundreds of wraiths in the corridor let out a shrill roar at the same time.

Immediately afterward, they charged toward the snake-like wraith's body like fanatical believers willing to die, in a puppet-like manner.

The bodies of all the wraiths turned into black mist and flesh, and in the blink of an eye, merged into the snake-like wraith's body.

However, its body did not become larger as a result, but instead rapidly shrank, turning into a body that looked no different from a normal human being below the neck.

Only its neck area seemed very strange.

It was three or four meters long, like a twisted rubber tube, hanging with that head with the vertical eye, swaying in the air.

"I see."

Seeing the change in the snake-like wraith, Yusei showed no surprise, just chuckled.

"So, it's a Nukekubi."

Nukekubi, also one of the yokai recorded in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

According to the story, the danger level of Nukekubi is about the same as that of Hachishaku-sama, both being the kind that, although they kill people, can only use clever means and dare not reveal their true faces in public.

Of course.

This Nukekubi cannot be regarded as the same thing as the Nukekubi in historical records.

After all, its true form is a product of hundreds or thousands of wraiths fused together, plus the resentment of multiple deceased from the construction site accidents that occurred recently, which is incomparable to ordinary wraiths and yokai.

This was not the first time Yusei had seen yokai recorded in legends.

Besides Hachishaku-sama, who had signed a contract with him and had already become the best employee of Supernatural Affairs Inc. this week, he had also seen and devoured a legendary yokai yesterday.

The Hannya ghost, who was disguised as a female teacher and manipulated those yakuza members to kidnap the Kyoto Municipal Kindergarten.

"Don't disappoint me."

Although there was a smile in Yusei's voice, there was no smile on his face, just staring straight at the Nukekubi's vertical eye.

"Come, let me experience more pleasure!"

The Nukekubi let out a sharp roar from some part of its body, making Yotsuya Miko and Yuino, who were not far away, feel that their eardrums were about to be torn apart.

In the next second, its neck instantly extended, like a nimble poisonous snake, widening that vertical eye, and two rows of cold-glowing fangs tore towards Yusei's neck.

"Tuan Shan."

Faced with the Nukekubi's astonishing speed, almost impossible for the average person to follow with the naked eye, an even greater excitement gleamed in Ye Xing's eyes. He softly uttered two words, and a huge black fan made of evil spirit power appeared in his right hand.

“Home run.”

“Bang!”

As if hitting a baseball, Ye Xing, with a standard pose, used the fan as a baseball bat. The Nukekubi’s head was naturally the incoming baseball.

After a fierce strike, the Nukekubi's head was directly smashed into the wall, its neck stretching out a dozen meters, limply hanging on the ground, looking extremely comical.

“Is that all you’ve got?”

As if responding to Ye Xing's words, the Nukekubi's body, standing there, suddenly sprouted a dozen twisted faces, once again tearing and biting towards Ye Xing's body.

“Now you're talking.”

Just then, one of the Nukekubi's evil spirit heads suddenly changed direction, its pupils flashing with fierce light, pouncing towards Yotsuya Miko and Yang Nai not far away.

“Hyakume!”

With Yotsuya Miko's soft shout, Hyakume's movements were extremely swift. Her hands stretched out like claws, and her five fingers with sharp nails directly pierced deeply into the neck connected to that head.

“Don't even think about it!”

Yotsuya Miko was no longer a novice exorcist. Without hesitation, she slashed out a blade, severing the neck connecting the Nukekubi’s head.

Immediately after, without any relaxation, she turned the blade tip and directly pierced it into the Nukekubi's head that had fallen to the ground. Only after watching this head turn into black smoke and dissipate did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Exorcist Handbook, Article One.

Pierce through the evil spirit's head and watch it turn into black smoke and dissipate to be absolutely sure.

“That’s disgusting.”

Seeing the Nukekubi resorting to such sneak attacks, a hint of coldness flashed in Ye Xing's eyes.

Facing the dozen or so evil spirit heads tearing and biting at him, the pale ghostly hand of his left arm stretched forward, and his five fingers directly pierced into the temple of one of the heads.

As for the remaining evil spirit heads, he completely ignored them.

With a muffled sound of flesh tearing, the dozen evil spirit heads opened their mouths wide, and their sharp teeth bit into his body.

Seeing Ye Xing's blood dripping down his clothes onto the dirty ground, Yang Nai's pupils shrank in shock, and she hurriedly said.

“Go, go help him!”

Just as she spoke, she saw Ye Xing as if he couldn't feel the pain of being bitten by the evil spirits at all. He only grabbed the head of that evil spirit with his left hand and, with an extremely brutal and savage action, dragged the Nukekubi's body over.

The following scene was a bit like a yo-yo.

Ye Xing was the master manipulating the yo-yo.

The Nukekubi's neck was the yo-yo string.

And the Nukekubi's body was the ball.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…”

With a series of muffled sounds, Ye Xing simply grabbed one of the Nukekubi's heads and swung the opponent's body around wantonly.

The Nukekubi's body crashed into pillars, walls, and the ground, making continuous noises.

After more than a dozen heavy impacts, the dozen heads that had been desperately biting Ye Xing's body had already limply drooped down.

But Ye Xing's movements still didn't stop. Without any pity, he continued to ravage it, as if treating the Nukekubi as a toy to be wantonly destroyed.

Looking at the scene before her, Yotsuya Miko said with a complicated expression.

“Help? Help who?”

Yang Nai was also completely stunned.

The speed of this reversal was too fast, and the number of times was too many. She was already about to collapse.

First, she was surrounded by a group of monsters, feeling the despair and fear of her impending death.

Immediately after, it was the hope of surviving from the brink of death brought by two people of unknown identity.

Then, the monster mutated, and the handsome young man was injured, seemingly falling into a disadvantageous position.

As a result, it had now become a one-sided and cruel act of violence.

Even though Yang Nai was a science genius, her brain's processing speed couldn't keep up with the many changes in the situation.

Ye Xing tormented the Nukekubi in this yo-yo-like manner for nearly two minutes before finally stopping.

He grabbed the evil spirit head with one hand, pulled the Nukekubi's main body in front of him, stepped on the opponent's chest, looked directly at the head with the vertical eye, and softly said.

“Do you know why I'm punishing you?”

The Nukekubi certainly couldn't answer.

It wasn't because it couldn't speak.

But because it was already breathing in more than it was breathing out.

“First point.”

Ye Xing raised the index finger of his right hand and slowly opened his mouth.

“I could have enjoyed the pleasure of killing hundreds of evil spirits, but now I can only kill you, making me unable to fully enjoy myself. This is the first wrong thing you did.”

He put a little more force on the foot stepping on the Nukekubi's chest, making a grating squeezing sound, and then said.

“Second, when you were fighting me, you actually split off a head to launch a sneak attack. I don't mind such despicable means, but for a low-level guy like you to dare to be distracted in a fight with me is simply the greatest insult to me, a professional exorcist.”

“Finally, there's one more point.”

Ye Xing's smile was still so amiable, but his eyes revealed a cruel intent.

“What level are you to dare to snatch the evil spirit food I had already reserved right in front of me?”

“Bang!”
