This is undoubtedly a pathetic monster.
But they are also powerful.
Demons created out of resentment are naturally endowed with more powerful powers.
Moreover, more importantly, compared to ordinary monsters, they also have precious rationality.
This is terrible.
Capable, smart, quick-witted, bullies the weak and fears the strong - no wonder the priests of Hakone Shrine are helpless and have to ask Kikyo for help.
"So, what are you going to do?"
Nanxing asked curiously.
He believed that Kikyo would never do something without a purpose, and after politely declining other people's requests, she only invited herself out.
She must need her help.
In this regard, Kikyo did not hide anything:
"I need your help, stand on the bridge and help me lure out that monster."
"Then I will defeat it."
Chapter 8 My transformation skills are better than yours!
Musashi Province, Kanagawa.
Nanxing stood on the bridge, looking at the flowing water under the bridge.
This is actually just a tributary of the Kanagawa River.
The river is no more than ten meters wide and no more than two or three meters deep.
The gurgling water flows gently over the pebbles at the bottom of the river, and the sound is crisp and pleasant.
Nanxing leaned against the wooden guardrail, closed his eyes and opened his arms.
He suddenly felt that there seemed to be something calling him in the river before him.
"bring it on."
"bring it on."
"Ascend to paradise with me."
It was a voice full of temptation.
A white silhouette vaguely floats on the water.
It was hazy and I couldn't see her true face.
But its extraordinary temperament, at first glance, is like a real flower.
She is like a flower of the red spider lily.
Beautiful, yet full of danger.
But Nanxing thought that this might be more like the mushrooms that can be found everywhere in the wild.
Those brightly colored toadstools are always so charming.
"If they are female demons, they will often use their beauty to seduce passing men."
Kikyo's church suddenly sounded in Nanxing's mind.
So, Nanxing took out the well-made shuriken from his arms.
He smiled, attached an explosive talisman to the shuriken, and then threw it out with force.
However, the target of the shuriken was not the banshee on the water.
——It’s Kikyo hiding in the dark!
"boom!!!"
A deafening explosion, accompanied by intense flames and thick smoke, came from the bushes not far away.
The area within three meters was turned into a mess.
And when the smoke dissipated, the dust gradually settled.
Kikyo, who was supposed to be standing at the center of the explosion, disappeared.
Instead, there was a hideous female ghost with a dishevelled figure, dishevelled hair, and a damp and damp smell all over her body.
"My disguise should be perfect."
"How did you find out!"
She faced Nanxing and asked viciously, with a bloodthirsty red light flashing in her eyes.
There was a hint of disbelief in his words.
She was sure that her disguise was so perfect that even the great monks could be easily fooled.
How was it possible that he would fail in front of such a young boy?
However, what the female ghost did not expect was.
"Perfect?"
It was as if he had heard something ridiculous.
There was an undisguised, sarcastic smile on Nanxing's face.
"You call this perfect?"
"You can't even beat me!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and quickly made a [Not] seal.
"Boom."
Accompanied by white smoke, a vivid "Platycodon" appeared at the bridgehead.
She stood there, her eyes expressionless, and a holy glow emanating from her whole body.
That is true holiness, which is completely different from the goddess posture that this female ghost pretends to be by relying on the fragrance of flowers.
And this is also the reason why Nanxing can see at a glance that this "Platycodon" is actually the reason why the banshee has changed.
"Remember, ugly girl."
"The character you are pretending to be is a real saint."
"She would never put innocent people in danger just to get rid of the demon."
"—Even if it's just as bait."
……
This is a fierce battle.
Even though the conspiracy has been exposed, the power of this monster should not be underestimated.
According to this world, she has barely reached the level of a high-level monster, and her strength is basically equivalent to that of an elite Chunin.
But luckily, she is a water fairy.
The abilities of monsters that die by drowning are mostly related to illusion and water manipulation.
Now, her illusion has been seen through by Nanxing, and the only means she can use is to control water.
And Nanxing is good at earth-style ninjutsu.
Although the only weapon I can use is an Earth Flow Wall...it is more than enough to suppress this stupid water monster.
"I'll give you a piece of advice."
“Don’t imitate a beautiful woman when you see one—you can’t imitate a real beauty.”
"Of course, that's if you still have a next life!"
Nanxing has a vicious mouth.
The means are even more vicious.
He used the earth flow wall to divide out an absolutely closed space.
In this space, the water ghost that was so aggressive just now instantly turned into rootless water.
She frantically mobilized her demonic power and tried to attack Nanxing.
But with rock walls all around, it was difficult for her to use her skills as a water ghost.
Earth controls water. Faced with this absolute attribute restraint, she couldn't even destroy the wall.
"Of course, if you could do that, you wouldn't be a water ghost here."
"You should go to Konoha Village and become the Second Hokage."
Nanxing was saying words that the banshee couldn't understand.
The shuriken in his hand was split into two, two into four, and four into eight...
Finally, when dense shurikens appeared above the banshee's head like a curtain covering the sky and the sun.
This unlucky but imaginative female ghost finally came to the end of her life.
[Ding, you killed a high-level monster. ]
[Your reward: Experience*500; Ninjutsu Scroll: "Water Style: Water Prison Technique"]
"Um?!!"
……
This water ghost looks unremarkable.
The reward was somewhat beyond Nanxing's expectations.
He already knew that he would be rewarded for killing this monster - this was actually an important reason why he judged that this female ghost was not Kikyo.
After all, judging from the days he spent with Kikyo, if it was the real Kikyo who arranged the tactics for him, the system would definitely issue him a task.
But the system was not released.
This is enough to prove that this banshee is a fake.
But what Nanxing didn't expect was that although her product was a counterfeit, it was unexpectedly in good condition.
The price of the ninjutsu scroll of [Water Style: Water Prison Technique] in the system store is one thousand taels.
This is nearly half a month's income for him, and he still has to live frugally.
"It's a pity that I don't have water attribute in my talent."
Although he didn't have a talent for water escape, he could still perform water escape ninjutsu. But performing it would be twice as hard and half as effective, which was a thankless task.
But then again.
It may not be suitable, but it is better than nothing.
Learn it first, just in case it comes in handy someday.
"I just don't know what's going on with Kikyo."
Putting the ninjutsu scroll in his arms, Nanxing raised his head and looked back in the direction of Hakone Taisha Shrine.
——The place was filled with evil spirits and dark clouds covered the city, making it look like a scene where demons were dancing wildly.
But it just happened to be in such an environment.
That touch of purple light is so dazzling.
"Demon-breaking Arrow!"
Chapter 9: Kikyo, who doesn’t understand people’s hearts
Nanxing rushed back as fast as he could.
The journey that took him an hour to come here was shortened to fifteen minutes on the way back.
It turns out that jumping back and forth from the tree is indeed much faster than walking on the main road.
But unfortunately, even though Nanxing tried so hard, he still couldn't catch up with the battle in the shrine.
