Looking at Ye Xing approaching step by step, and feeling the oppressive feeling coming from him, Prajna and Shuten Doji looked at each other, and then ran towards the top of the stairwell at the same time.
so horrible.
Even if the opponent can no longer maintain his domain, since this guy was able to come out of the inner world, it proves that even the sudden communication interruption, power outage, and earthquake, all of which caused panic among the people of Kyoto, and the powerful evil spirits that gathered together have been killed by the opponent.
Faced with such a record, Shuten Douji and Prajna really couldn't muster the courage to confront Ye Xing head-on.
Looking at the two hideous evil spirits fleeing in panic towards the top of the stairwell, Ye Xing just shook his head and chuckled.
"It's just a futile struggle."
.......
Shuten Douji and Bannya ran all the way upstairs, but found Futaba Rio, Sakurajima Mai, and Yotsuya Miko blocking the top of the stairwell.
"Want to run?"
Futaba Rio looked directly at Prajna and spoke in a cold voice.
"The battle between us has not yet been decided."
"Get away!!!"
Although Prajna was afraid of Yexing's power, she didn't take Futaba Rio, who she had fought with, seriously at all.
The pale bone spurs formed by the opponent's spiritual power were just branches that could be easily broken in front of its power.
Prajna didn't hesitate at all. The two ghost faces in front and behind showed ferocious looks, and the fangs flashed cold light. He pounced directly towards Futaba Rio at the top of the stairs.
"No need for help, I can do it myself."
After hearing what Futaba Rio said, Yotsuya Miko and Sakurajima Mai, who originally wanted to take action, nodded and silently took two steps back.
"Tear off the disguise..."
Futaba Rio looked at Prajna who had already rushed towards her, and a sharp white bone spur extended from the palm of her hand.
"Bone Girl."
"Ah."
Looking at the sharp white bone thorn stabbing towards her face, Prajna just sneered with disdain, clenched it with both hands, and said contemptuously.
"You're still using this kind of attack? You really don't have a long memory..."
Just when Prajna was halfway through her words, she discovered something wrong.
A week ago, when she was fighting with Futaba Rio, she only used a little force, or even no strength at all, and broke the bone spurs created by the opponent like a branch.
But this time...
Even though Prajna used all her strength, it was like a child trying to bend a hard iron bar, and nothing happened.
"how come..."
Looking at the look of disbelief on Prajna's ugly ghost face, Futaba Rio spoke softly.
"The soul is materialized. It is the power formed by the user's heart."
"But now my heart is not as confused as it was back then."
As soon as the words fell, the white bone spur created by Futaba Rio burst into life like fireworks, extending into dozens of equally sharp bone spurs that directly burst Prajna's hands.
"Damn... just a human..."
Prajna looked at his palms which turned into black smoke and disappeared. He fell to his knees on the ground, his face ferocious and distorted, and he roared in pain.
There was no hesitation in Rio Futaba's eyes. She used the bone spur to pierce through Prajna's ghost face, and also pierced through the ghost face on the back of the opponent's head.
"solve."
After all, Prajna still didn't understand the true nature of the power of psychics like Futaba Rio.
The embodiment of the soul is the power formed by the user's true inner manifestation.
What Prajna was struggling with at the time was mental exhaustion, her brain was in an overloaded state, she hadn't slept the entire night, and most importantly...
Futaba Rio is worried about Ye Xing's safety and doesn't know what to do next.
And what it just faced, although it had also consumed a lot of spiritual energy and had just fought a fierce battle with the evil spirit, but because Ye Xing returned safely, she was no longer confused and was completely relieved.
This change in mentality will naturally be reflected in the soul's ability to materialize.
Seeing that Prajna died so easily because of misjudging Futaba Rio's strength, Shuten Doji's face changed and he immediately fled downwards.
It only remembered it halfway through the run.
The night star is still below.
There is a dead end on both sides.
What should we do?
Just at this moment, from the bottom of the stairwell, came the sound of footsteps that made Shuten-doji tremble all over.
"Run."
The pitch-black mask appeared from the corner of the stairwell.
"Keep running, where can you run to?"
Hearing Ye Xing's contemptuous words that seemed to be teasing him, Shuten Doji's fangs flashed coldly. He drew out the long sword from his waist, looked at the black scabbard on the other's waist, and said with a ferocious expression.
"Humph, it seems that your Onimaru Kunitsugu is not yet able to be put into battle. You want to kill me, Shuten-doji, with only a silver nail? How arrogant you are..."
"So much nonsense."
Before Shuten-doji could finish his words, Yexing had already flashed in front of it.
Shuten-doji's heart trembled, and he immediately swung the sword in his hand, slashing towards the opponent's neck.
"ridiculous."
What Shuten-doji didn't expect was that Yexing did not choose to retreat and dodge, but directly raised his left arm to block the swinging path of the sword.
With a teeth-grinding friction sound, the sharp sword, after cutting through the black coat formed by spiritual power and the flesh of the left arm, was blocked by the bones in Ye Xing's arm.
"It's ridiculous."
What flowed from the wound on Ye Xing's left arm was not blood, but black smoke like that formed when an evil spirit was killed.
"You don't know how to fight."
Ye Xing did not retreat but advanced instead. Shuten Douji tried to draw out his sword, but found that the blade had sunk into the opponent's flesh and blood. Even if he used all his strength, he could not pull it out.
"My weapon is not Onimaru Kunitsuna."
"An exorcist's only real weapon is himself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xing had already thrust out the silver nail in his hand and stabbed it towards Shuten-doji's abdomen.
The latter reacted quickly as well. He immediately let go of his long sword and tried to use both hands to grab Ye Xing's wrist holding the silver nail. The red ghost face opened its mouth wide, and its sharp fangs flashed with cold light as it bit towards Ye Xing's neck.
Once again, Shuten-doji was caught off guard.
Ye Xing had no defense at all, just like a bloodthirsty madman, allowing the beast's mouth to bite his neck.
And the next second...
"what!!!"
Shuten-doji felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.
It glanced at Yexing and saw that although Yexing did not have sharp fangs, it used the same action as itself to bite its shoulder, and viciously tore off a piece of flesh and blood and swallowed it into its stomach.
"come."
What frightened Shuten-doji the most was not Yexing's behavior, but the other party's eyes, which seemed to be completely unaffected by the pain and instead became more excited and crazy.
"Let's play."
"Who eats faster, you or me?"
...........
Five minutes later, silence returned to the stairwell.
Shuten-doji's body fell to the ground, and above his head, which had turned into a human form again, there was a big hole on the top of his head.
Judging from its mutilated body and its expressionless, dead eyes...
The result of this game is beyond doubt, it is Ye Xing's victory.
.........
Later that day, outside the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.
"Director Ye Shen, please say a few words!"
"Chief Yagami, were the Kyoto Tower incident and the large-scale power outage a while ago committed by the same group of suspects?"
"Director Ye Shen, may I ask how you were able to rescue all the hostages in such a dangerous situation, with only one innocent person dying?"
"Director Yagami..."
"Director Yagami..."
Facing the reporters' cameras, Soichiro Yagami's square face was filled with helplessness.
When it comes to tracking down murderers and solving criminal cases, that is his specialty.
However, responding to the questions from this group of reporters was a problem for Soichiro Yagami, who was always serious and taciturn.
He has no experience in this area.
However, as the on-site commander of the Metropolitan Police Department and the most famous figure in the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department, Soichiro Yagami obviously could not shirk his responsibility. At the very least, he could not continue to shirk the curiosity of the reporters and the entire city of Kyoto.
Kyoto City Kindergarten Incident, Train Failure Incident, Sunny Doll Killer Incident, Kyoto Tower Incident...
If any of these cases happened in other cities in Sakura Province, they would have led to extremely serious consequences if not handled carefully.
But under Soichiro Yagami's on-site command, all these events finally ended in a way that was close to perfection, with close to zero innocent casualties, in an almost impossible way.
Soichiro Yagami knew that this was because "Mask" was helping in every incident.
But after all, he is the representative of the official agency and the on-site commander of the Metropolitan Police Department.
It's just a blessing in disguise.
Just when Soichiro Yagami was at a loss and didn't know how to respond, he saw the reporters in front of him froze at the same time, looking at somewhere behind them, their eyes filled with excitement and enthusiasm.
Noticing the looks in these people's eyes, Soichiro Yagami didn't even need to look back to guess who was standing behind him.
"Hello, everyone."
Ye Xing, wearing a black mask, walked up to Soichiro Yagami, put his arm around his shoulders, waved his other hand at the reporters in front of him, and spoke with a smile.
"We will select one person to have the right to interview Director Yagami exclusively."
After hearing this, a brave reporter immediately asked.
"Then may I ask, Mr. Mask, are you willing to accept an interview?"
"I?"
Ye Xing patted Yagami Soichiro's shoulder affectionately and spoke with a smile.
"I just provided some insignificant assistance. This Chief Yashin is the real hero."
Upon hearing this, Soichiro Yagami couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself, you kid really praise me to the sky.
Others may not know, but doesn’t he know it himself?
Let’s not talk about previous events, let’s just talk about the Kyoto Tower this time.
Rescuing the hostages...what does it have to do with me?
I received a notification from the other party's companions, and brought the police officers to the top floor to help maintain order and bring down the hostages in batches.
Don’t even mention he’s the director of the criminal bureau.
Even a kindergarten teacher who has organized a spring outing can do it and even do better.
Soichiro Yagami tugged at Yexing's sleeve, covered his mouth and spoke in a low voice.
"I don't want to take credit for your work."
"It does not matter."
