Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 41 The Jade of the Four Souls and Escape
Even if you can't use the monster power, the monster's body still has strength and speed that surpass most mortals.

Yakumo Zi is incredibly fast, at least for this bandit warrior.

"The demon knife slashed her, it was only a minor injury, she didn't want to let me go easily!"

Seeing the red eyes of the girl on the opposite side and the chill he felt from the serious killing intent, the robber warrior didn't think he had any chance of luck.

"Shuiyue Dahui, you must firmly remember that when facing an opponent whose speed is faster than yours, you must never try to escape! Only by killing the opponent or severely injuring him can you hope to leave alive."

He seems to have returned to his childhood. That afternoon, when he was practicing knives at home, he heard the teacher lecturing to him.

It turned out that it has been so many years.Over the years, I have even lost my sword skills!

"Teacher... I will live!"

With firm belief, Shuiyue Dahui seems to have returned to that time, regaining the vigor when he first debuted, killing all distracting thoughts in an instant, and entering the state of mind that a qualified swordsman should have.

"... Do your best, kill the opponent, and leave calmly."

He has not practiced swords for a long time, but he is not unfamiliar with them. After all, this sword is a treasure that he used to wear day and night.Now that I am a little more familiar with it, I feel that my understanding of swordsmanship has improved to a higher level. The ups and downs, frustrations, and confusions of these years have been condensed into one at this time of life and death, and all of them are used as the accumulation of swordsmanship.

From the perspective of a bystander, silently savoring, chewing, and absorbing, these are all incorporated into his knife skills.

"The way of the sword is his life. I'm beginning to understand this sentence, teacher."

At this moment, Shuiyue Dahui was completely enlightened, and with a detached heart, he swung the saber that represented the first half of his life.This knife is ordinary, but it contains his frustration and confusion in the past. This lingering intention is the essence of being able to hurt monsters, and it is one of the swordsmen's signatures for fighting monsters.

Yakumo Zi felt the change in the aura of the human beings on the opposite side. It was very strange, like a mirror that had been wiped, with a feeling of sublimation, like those sword masters who have been immersed in swordsmanship for more than ten years?
"not good!"

Although Yakumo Zi dodged in time, she did escape the damage of the demon sword. There was indeed no scar on the surface, but the damage inside was not small.

That meaning, one of the traits of a swordsman, did hurt her.

At this time, she couldn't resist this kind of intention.In a sense, the meaning of the swordsman is the same as the various abilities of monsters, and they all possess various powers.

"Cough cough cough cough, you won."

Yakumo Zi admits to being defeated, but she is not prepared to die like this.Is this far from the mansion of His Excellency the Great Onmyoji?
She just looked at Shuiyue Dahui, wondering what she was thinking.

Shuiyue Dahui didn't intend to step forward to finish the monster.

He stood there with the knife in his hand, silently immersed for a while, and then opened his mouth.

"Thank you!"

"Hey! Hey? We killed your companion, and you still want to thank us? Since you thank us, why don't you just let us kill you?"

Yakumo Zi is a monster, she doesn't really understand human thoughts, she feels that she still knows too little.

"······It is because of you that I wake up. My pursuit has never been to become a robber, to be a sharp knife of a great noble...so I will not kill you, because it is yours Because of this, I realized what I really thought. As for those guys, they are just colleagues who are employed by the same employer, I have already decided not to do it, so it doesn’t matter.”

Suigetsu Daiki just took one step at a time, facing Zi Yakumo, and slowly left the alley.

From beginning to end, never let down your vigilance.

Yakumo Zi didn't make any movements, just watched him go away quietly.

It took a long time for Yakumo Zi to become depressed.

"We're so unlucky—"

The embarrassed Yakumo Zi had to hastily bandage the wound, and sneaked back to the vicinity of the shrine on a small path...

Even if she is a monster, Yakumo Zi knows how unbearable her current image is.

The clothes that were cut into strips by the knife, the blood-stained arms, the dirt and dust rolling on the ground, all kinds of scratches and bruises...

"It's like a little girl who was unfortunately robbed... It's a shame that we look like this! It's all Qingming's fault. Ever since I met him, we have always been in trouble. If it weren't for him, we would definitely be with him now." How could Youxiang get hurt when drinking afternoon tea together?"

Unfortunately, Zi Yakumo still has nowhere to go, so she can only go back to her owner, where at least board and lodging are provided.

"It would be great if someone could come and save me."

Yakumo Zi also knew that this was just an extravagant wish, except for the sunflower, no demon would care about her life or death.

"I have to find a way to escape, but I can't get rid of that guy's yin and yang technique. It will be a matter of time before I get found."

Zi Yakumo suppressed the turbulent thoughts in her heart and returned to Seimei's house.

There are shikigami resident in the house, and many of them have the means to heal the wounds on her body caused by the demon sword.

"Remember that guy was put here last time?"

Yakumo Zi swaggered through Seimei's items. This was just an unimportant collection, so it was random.

"This, the jade bead, seems to be called the jade of the four souls."

Seimei purified the evil energy in the Jade of the Four Souls, and liberated the soul of the witch Cuizi. The souls of the monsters were swept away, leaving only the pure essence of demon power and part of the power of the soul.

This thing is of little use to Seimei, after solving the hidden dangers, it was placed in the room for decoration, but Yakumo Zi noticed when she didn't know when, and she was already holding it in her hand.

"According to the legend, the Jade of the Four Souls was formed after a massive battle between monsters and Miko Cuizi. So it stands to reason that there should be a considerable amount of spirit energy of monsters here, as well as the powerful spiritual power of Miko Cuizi. It's just that the guy let it go at will. Here, it must have been dealt with, and it’s hard to say how much will be left.”

Yakumo Zi observed for a long time, but she didn't find anything special about the Jade of the Four Souls, nor was it attractive to monsters as rumored.

Finally, she opened her small cherry mouth and bit the jade of four souls.

Teeth clenched, bite, and with a click, it shattered.

The pure essence of demon power leaked out, no, it exploded, and the jade of the four souls emitted a bright white light, split into pieces, and scattered everywhere.

Did this scene only last for a short moment? It was again in the afternoon, covered by the Sun Palace, and no one noticed it. Even Zi Yakumo, the instigator, didn't care about it.

The jade with so much pure power was shattered, and Yakumo Zi's whole monster was soaked in the ocean of pure monster power

"It's really pure. It really was purified by that guy. This kind of pure demon power can be absorbed directly!"

Yakumo Zi greedily absorbs it, like a person who is dying of thirst in the desert. She has an unimaginable desire for this high-quality demon power essence, which is the desire for evolution.

"There are tens of thousands of monsters, and the demonic power that lingers after death is purified by the onmyoji to remove the evil energy. The remaining high-purity demonic power is hundreds of times that of me before. After absorbing this part of the demonic power, it can be completely supplied. I grew up quickly and became a big monster."

Unknowingly, Yakumo Zi chewed, crushed, and ate a few pieces of the jade of the four souls. The massive amount of demonic power brought her an infinite sense of satisfaction.

"In this way, we can break through the seal of the curse seal."

"This piece of jade, even if it is a fragment, has such a pure breath, it is more than enough to cover up my evil spirit. As long as we hide, after a hundred years, you, a human onmyoji, will have died long ago, and I will come back with you Settle the bill! You must be dug out of the soil and whipped to death!"

Yakumo Zi opened a gap and left with a large piece of Jade of the Four Souls.

She recovered her demon power, so she could naturally sense the peculiarity of this piece of jade itself, and firmly believed that this jade was enough to cover her demon power aura and avoid the tracking of Yin Yang.

Onmyoji is not omnipotent. Tracking the enemy also has limitations and shortcomings, Yakumo Zi naturally knows.

　Today I finally got a strong push, I am really happy, and then, by the way, I am asking for a recommendation ticket.
