High in the sky.
The black throne floated silently, and Zhou Huai's gaze pierced through the clouds, looking down at the city below that had fallen into a deathly silence.
The streets were littered with corpses, each one still in the position it had been in before it died.
Their skin was dry and shriveled, devoid of all moisture and luster, like the peel of an orange that had been squeezed dry, clinging tightly to their bones.
Only a few people were still convulsing in pain in the corner, their lifeline about to be extinguished.
Zhou Huai sighed inwardly.
In the end, we were still a step too late.
Although those who died were all Japanese, they were still human beings, vibrant lives.
Now, however, he has t a tragic end in the power struggle between major forces.
Even in the eyes of those high-ranking figures, the deaths of these people were utterly insignificant.
Zhou Huai's gaze quickly moved past this hell on earth and landed on the city center.
There, the enormous pendulum of life still gleams with golden light, radiating imnse pressure.
Directly in front of the pendulum of life, a giant golden cocoon made entirely of golden light floats silently.
"Thump!"
"Thump! Thump!"
A surge of vitality bursts forth from the golden cocoon, and a strong, powerful heartbeat resounds through the heavens and earth like a war drum.
It seems the resurrection ceremony is nearing its end.
Kujo Kagemasa's resurrection is a foregone conclusion.
But Zhou Huai didn't want the other party to be resurrected so easily.
He sat on the throne, with a re thought.
"Buzz—"
In the void, a dense sound of flapping wings resounded.
A full 100,000 ferocious beetles erged out of nowhere, gathering into a black tide that blotted out the sky.
"go."
As Zhou Huai coldly issued his command.
The black swarm of insects surged forth instantly, covering the sky and rushing towards the location of the golden cocoon and the pendulum of life.
However, just as the insect swarm was about to arrive...
A sudden change has occurred!
"call--"
A terrifying hurricane swept in from afar without warning.
The wind was so fierce that it distorted the very space around it.
The black tide of 100,000 beetles was as fragile as sand in the face of this hurricane.
They didn't even have ti to utter a mournful cry before they were blown into dust and vanished into the air.
Zhou Huai's gaze instantly sharpened.
He slowly turned his head and looked in the direction the wind was blowing.
In the distant sky, a huge black shadow was approaching at an extrely fast speed.
It was a gigantic humanoid monster that was over 100 ters tall.
It has a pair of black wings on its back that blot out the sky, and with each flap, it stirs up a gale that tears the air apart.
On its scarlet face grew an exaggeratedly long nose, and in its golden eyes was an inhuman indifference and arrogance.
The monster was dressed in ancient mountain burrowing attire, holding a tin staff in one hand and a huge feather fan in the other.
That terrifying hurricane just now was clearly the work of this feather fan.
"Shikigami".
"The Great Tengu."
Zhou Huai recognized the monster's origin at a glance.
The person who summoned the Great Tengu with such power must be at least SS-level.
It is probably that famous Onmyoji from the land of cherry blossoms.
Chongwen Gumao.
really.
The next second, Zhou Huai saw an old man standing steadily on the shoulder of the giant Tengu.
The old man was dressed in a spotless white priest's robe, with a gaunt face and white hair and beard.
He appeared ethereal and otherworldly, yet his eyes were as cold as ice, devoid of any emotion.
He and Zhou Huai faced off from a distance, a thousand ters above the ground.
An invisible, chilling killing intent locked onto Zhou Huai.
"No matter who you are, take one more step closer."
Chong Wengu paused for a mont, then uttered a cold word.
"die!"
Zhou Huai looked at the Chongwen Gu Mao above the shikigami with a solemn expression.
He had read Chongwen Gumao's information.
Like Kosuke Soma, he is a veteran SS-rank professional in Japan.
However, he was a low-key person who rarely went out, so the Great Xia Kingdom knew relatively little about this powerful Yin-Yang Master.
The level must be at least 70 or higher.
It's even possible that it exceeds level 80.
Whether they have mastered the field is unknown.
Even without a domain, this is an extrely formidable opponent.
It's just that Caesar's rank is still too low.
Although he is an SSS-level professional, he is currently below level 27.
If it were a level 40 Caesar, Zhou Huai was confident he could easily crush him.
However, at this mont, the grade difference between SSS and SS can be completely made up for by this level difference of nearly sixty levels.
However, Zhou Huai was not without confidence.
After all, he still has teammates.
Just then, a figure flew over from behind and stopped beside Caesar.
Karen wielded the chains with impressive skill, gazing arrogantly at the enormous Tengu statue in the distance.
"It's that Chongwengu again!"
He quickly said, "You go and grab the life pendulum, I'll try to hold him off!"
Zhou Huai glanced at him.
Back then, he also confidently told himself that he could hold off Thor for ten seconds.
In the end, they couldn't hold on even for the last second.
Zhou Huai asked calmly, "How confident are you?"
Karen sneered, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.
"He was the one who injured Polina last ti."
"This ti, I will avenge Polina!"
Before he could finish speaking, the quicksand wings on his back suddenly flapped.
He charged headlong into the giant tengu, which was many tis larger than him, with an indomitable spirit.
Seeing this, Zhou Huai remained completely unmoved.
There was no intervention, nor any warning.
Because he knew that saying anything to this kind of person would be futile.
With a thought, Zhou Huai manipulated Caesar to instantly release even more beetle ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) soldiers.
Tens of thousands of beetles converged into several black torrents, bypassing the Great Tengu in front, and roared towards the direction of the Pendulum of Life.
Since soone has voluntarily beco cannon fodder to attract the other side's attention.
So naturally he had to seize the opportunity.
However, before his beetle could even get close to the pendulum of life.
"ah--!"
A piercing scream tore through the sky.
Zhou Huai subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
Karen, who had just charged forward with such ferocity, was now like a fly that had been casually swatted away.
It was casually fanned by the giant Tengu's enormous feather fan.
He turned into a black dot and flew back at a speed several tis faster than when he rushed forward.
"Boom!"
A loud bang.
Karen's body slamd heavily onto the street below, creating a huge crater more than ten ters in diater in the hard ground.
Smoke and dust filled the air; life and death were unknown.
Zhou Huai was speechless.
I knew it.
This guy is still so unreliable.
Fortunately, Karen is as tough as ever.
He climbed out of the pit and was still full of energy.
"Again! Again!" "I was careless just now, I didn't dodge!"
