539 Instant Kill ? (1/2)

Hundreds of spirits floated above the Zhao Yao trio. Matsuo immediately sobered up from his drunken stupor. His face turned pale as he stared at the sky full of spirits and muttered to himself, ”It's Momo. She found me.”

Momo was a supercat raised by the real Matsuo. She had the terrifying ability to take away part of a debtor's soul to create a spirit. Momo had sent Matsuo to Jianghai to open a money-lending platform, resulting in a spirit accident back then.

Hundreds of spirits circled above the trio. Among them, a spirit resembling a young girl broke from the circle and shouted, ”Matsuo, what happened? Why was the Spirit Army in Jianghai completely wiped out? Even the money-lending platform has been seized for investigation.”

”You... you are Momo?” Matsuo stared at the spirit in the sky with a terrified look. He glanced towards Zhao Yao as he was being questioned, which made him even more terrified.

Both Momo and Zhao Yao terrorized him. He could not afford to offend either of them so he could only reply, ”I don't know. It was all done by the Chinese government. They destroyed the Spirit Army in Jianghai and closed the money-lending platform.”

”The Chinese government?” the young girl narrowed her eyes and an ominous glint flashed in her eyes, ”Take him.”

It was late at night and there were few people on the streets. But because they were in the city center some people took notice of the strange occurrence. The young girl waved her hand and signaled the spirits around her to fly down and take Matsuo back with them. She wanted to question him properly.

The young girl glanced at Zhao Yao and Bai Quan who were beside Matsuo and thought to herself, ”I don't recognize these fellas. Are they Matsuo's accomplices?” She gestured towards them and said, ”Take all of them and bring them back with us.”

The spirits laughed sinisterly as they dived downwards and charged towards them. Matsuo screamed and immediately transformed into his spirit. He looked like a ball of smoke cowering behind Zhao Yao.

”D*mn!” Hideto Kuroko frowned. No matter what, Zhao Yao was still Ms. Nanako's guest. It was not be good if he got taken away.

Raised in the Kujyo family as a female servant and bodyguard, she was a good fighter with a black belt in karate. However, she was not an apostle. It didn't seem like she would be able to fight against the infamous Spirit Army.

Hesitation flickered across Kuroko's face. But as she saw the mob of spirits about to engulf Zhao Yao and his trio, Kuroko clenched her teeth and put down Cannon before she rushed to their aid.

”The odds are against us if we fight them head-on. The only way is to bring him with me and escape.”

Just as she was thinking this, she saw the Chinese man named Zhao Yao casually glance at the sky of spirits and...

”Get lost!”

Accompanying the scornful shout, an invisible force field spread through the air, visibly bending the air together. It caused the hundreds of charging spirits to scream in agony as they all disappeared into thin air.

When spirits disappeared, they returned to their original owners. They regain their soul's original bodies.

Wiping out the spirits in a single blow, Zhao Yao looked up to the sky and stared at the young girl floating above him.

Gasp! The young girl stared wide-eyed, frightened by the scene before her. When she saw Zhao Yao staring at her, she shrieked and tried to escape. Once his eyes flashed red, she realized she had already been immobilized.

Zhao Yao gestured lightly with his finger. The young girl watched herself fly towards Zhao Yao helplessly, his stare made her hair stand.

”You're Momo, right?” Zhao Yao looked at the spirit in front of him, ”Let me just say this once. Don't. Come. And. Bother. Me.”

The young girl looked terrified as her spirit self exploded into stardust, returning to the body of its original owner.
