Chapter 184 - Taking Out the Shikigami (1/2)

One of those people wore a red trench coat with a dragon emblazoned on it and a tiger-shaped mask. That was Yin Hu—the man who they had been waiting for.

A young man who looked to be in his late teens was seen at Yin Hu’s side. He was dressed casually, making him look like the college students found everywhere in Huaxia.

What shocked him even more was how he was only able to sense one of them. Both parties were incredibly close by then, being less than 20 meters away, yet he was only able to sense the presence of Yin Hu.

He was unable to sense the presence of that young man at all.

It was as if the young man did not exist in the first place, yet that young man was unmistakably standing in front of him, making it clear to him that he was not some illusion.

At the very moment he spotted Yin Hu, he knew right away that all his schemes prior failed altogether. There was no doubt by then why Onmoraki died while Yin Hu, who was the target they were setting up, lived and looked only somewhat haggard.

“He’s really here. You really have a way with calculations, Mr. Lu.”

Yin Hu was totally convinced of the breadth of Lu Xuan’s powers by then, for the young man’s calculation proved to be spot on.

The dead Japanese fighter’s compatriot was actually there in the warehouse.

“You should listen to that friend of yours. If you were just to run away earlier, there might have actually been some chance of you being able to get away from me,” Lu Xuan quipped casually.

“What did you say?” Kojima Hideo’s eyes were locked onto Lu Xuan. He was able to instinctively sense that Onmoraki’s failure most probably had something to do with the young man in front of him.

“Didn’t Mr. Lu make himself clear enough? He’s saying that your time is up, man!” Yin Hu said while swinging the staff in his hand around.

“What do you people of the Amaterasu-gumi take Huaxia for, eh? Coming and going like you own the place.

“It’s not like the doors to Huaxia are shut in the first place, so why shouldn’t we be allowed to come then? Those ruins and legacies should belong to all of humanity!” Kojima Hideo said coldly as he put on his oni mask.

Those who knew Kojima Hideo well enough would know what that gesture meant—he was getting ready to fight in earnest.

Yin Hu alone had already proved more than enough to have him fight in earnest, even more so since there was also a young man whose powers were unknown, yet he looked extremely dangerous.

Kojima Hideo put his phone away and chanted something as he performed complex seals.

“Sh*t, he’s summoning shikigami!”

Yin Hu was able to tell right away what Kojima Hideo was pulling. He had fought that Japanese man more than once, so he was naturally familiar with what the other man was doing.

“We need to stop him now!” Yin Hu said anxiously.

Lu Xuan, however, looked completely unfazed as he said, “No need to rush. Let him summon the shikigami. I’m curious to see just what level of shikigami he will be able to summon.”

Lu Xuan was not a stranger to the systems practiced by the onmyoji, as he fought with their likes in his past life before. However, onmyoji back in his past life were deemed extremely powerful figures capable of summoning tremendously terrifying shikigami.

It was obvious, however, that Kojima Hideo, who was right before his eyes, was nowhere near as terrifying.

An incredibly huge dog materialized just as Lu Xuan finished talking. The dog looked to be at least four to five meters tall and appeared extremely intimidating. Every single hair on its body was burning in pitch-black flames.

“Go, inugami! Send them to hell!” Kojima Hideo said with a cold expression.

The huge dog charged right at them, sending the ground shaking as it did and coming right before them in an instant.

Yin Hu prepped the refined steel staff in his hand and burst with Spiritual Qi, conjuring beams of Buddhist light and making him look like a ferocious, intimidating Buddha.

That was the proof of having honed one’s cultivation in the Buddhist ways to very high levels, and he looked like he had been sent to guard the world.

Clang!

The staff swept across the air, clashing right away with that huge dog.

Boom!
