I, the young onmyoji

"Hey!"

Shuten Doji II stopped struggling.

"Boy, what do you have in your hand?"

"Knife?"

Changran looked at his right hand, and then looked at Shuten Doji II, who was looking at him seriously.

"As a ghost, can you feel it? This knife."

"Tell me, what is that!"

Shuten Doji II suddenly became angry.

"What does that knife have to do with Shuten Douji!"

Changran held the boy flat in front of him.

"I don't know how you feel it, but this sword is the boy Kiri Yasutsuna who killed Shuten-douji!"

Flames soared into the sky.

Halfway up the mountain, the one-armed ghost saw the black flames soaring into the sky at the top of the mountain, and a smile appeared on his face.

"My friend, is it really you?"

One roll, to avoid the flames sprayed from the huge gourd, and then another roll, to avoid the flames thrown from the opponent's hand.

"Hey! Is Shuten-douji your father? Are you too impatient to attack like this all of a sudden?"

While rolling, Changran still asked, but what greeted him was an even more intense flame.

The huge gourd flew into the air and spit out flames crazily at Changran, forcing Changran to roll and dodge again.

"This is just like playing Monster Hunter, rolling invincibly to avoid damage!"

While rolling, he was still complaining to himself.

But while dodging the attack, Changran was also thinking, because the opponent's attack method felt like he had seen it somewhere... It looked very familiar...

"A huge gourd that can spit out flames, white hair, dark skin, and a ghost. Isn't this Shuten Doji!"

Changran finally discovered the identity of the other party. At first, he said that he would collect a few SSRs to make shikigami, but now after actually meeting the SSRs, he did not immediately discover the identity of the other party!

Sure enough, it was because I had never owned an SSR before, so my understanding of the identities of these SSRs was somewhat vague.

But it's not too late!

When I was a child, I heard Abe Seimei talk about Minamoto Yorimitsu killing Shuten Doji, and I thought I would never see another SSR again, but I didn't expect that the other party would be resurrected under such circumstances!

This is simply like saying that God wants to give me a chance!

This is the first SSR I have seen!

Chang Ran, who was still a little flustered, turned into excitement.

"That! I don't think we've met before somewhere?"

"Ah, I think so too."

Shuten-Douji II’s answer was very interesting, because he chose to use a tone of hatred, but his answer was somewhat misleading. Suddenly he found the knife that killed the previous Shuten-Douji. How could he not hate himself? After all, he has inherited the name Shuten-douji!

However, when Changran heard Shuten Doji II's words, his mind suddenly twitched and he asked a question.

"Your name is?"

Shuten Doji II smiled slightly.

"That's the Shuten boy you killed! Minamoto no Yorimitsu!"

The flames came overwhelmingly, leaving Changran with no way to retreat.

"The man you killed came back from hell a few decades later!"

Yes, this is thinking that Chang Ran is Minamoto Yorimitsu, and he actually used the words he thought of earlier to deceive people, saying that he was the resurrected Shuten Doji.

When he was born, this Shuten-dōji knew that the previous generation of Shuten-dōji was killed by human design. The person who killed Shuten-dōji was Minamoto Yorimitsu!This is what Doji Kiri Yasutsuna is used!

So I wanted to take revenge on humans, kill them, and then kill Qiongqi. The first step should be to kill Minamoto Yorimitsu, the man who killed Shuten Doji of the previous generation.

Although he was not the one who was killed, at least his reputation as Shuten was related to the other party!

A red voice burst out from the flames and rushed directly behind the iron pillar.

He was not burned to death by the flames, but he became very embarrassed. A large piece of his red hunting clothes had been burned away.

The hair is also a lot burnt.

He had just been engulfed in flames, so he used onmyoji to resist it in an emergency, but Shuten Doji's flames were too strong and Chang Ran could not stop him, which led to this situation.

"Let me tell you, have you mistakenly admitted the wrong person? I am not Minamoto Noraimitsu!"

"Hmph! Minamoto no Yorimitsu, I will never mistake you. You just admitted that the sword of yours was the one that killed Shuten Doji!"

However, Shuten Doji II firmly believed that Chang Ran was Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and Chang Ran had admitted Doji Kiri just now, and this was absolutely unmistakable.

"You don't seem to be talking about Shuten Douji, and why are you so sure that only Minamoto Yorimitsu can kill Yasutsuna with Doji!"

While Changran was retorting, he was also making movements with his hands, taking out the magic talisman and preparing to set up a barrier around himself to help him defend against the terrifying flames. A simple spiritual barrier could not stop it. If a barrier was added, , should be maintained.

But before the barrier was established, Shuten Doji II began to attack again.

The huge gourd floated into the air, spraying flames wildly behind the steel pillar where Chang Ran was hiding.

The pillars made of steel, a scarce resource in this era, were directly burned until they turned red in a very short period of time, then softened and began to collapse downwards.

"This... I just want to hide for a while. As for melting the pillars directly?"

"Give up, Minamoto norimitsu, there is no way you can beat me!"

Shuten Doji II looked at the gradually melting iron pillar and laughed happily.

"Minamoto Yorimitsu, I am not the Shuten-douji who was deceived by your trajectory. I am a brand-new Shuten-douji. I will see through any of your tricks!"

"So give up and wait to die! Hahaha!"

"No, that's not necessarily the case."

The voice came from behind Shuten-Douji II, causing Shuten-Douji II, who was laughing wildly, to be stunned for a moment.

"Varied!"

The Doji Kiri and Onikiri, glowing with light blue spiritual power, moved up and down, and simultaneously slashed at the back of Shuten Doji II's neck and thighs.

But this time the sneak attack was not successful.

A huge gourd fell from the sky, forcing Chang Ran to step back and avoid it. If he hadn't avoided it, Chang Ran would probably have been seriously injured by the gourd that was bigger than him. However, Shuten Doji II who was hit by him was only slightly injured at most. .

Shuten Doji II turned around and stared at Changran in confusion.

"What did you... just do?"

She clearly saw him behind the pillar and threw out the magic talisman to resist. She took the opportunity to prevent him from being burned by the fire, but he appeared behind him. What was going on in this situation?

"Ah, I didn't do anything. It was just a small trick."

A spiritual talisman appeared again in Changran's hand.

"Do you want to use those useless spells again?"

Shuten Doji II, who saw the magic talisman, immediately thought of the onmyoji that Changran had used before.

But in an instant, his eyes widened again.

The glowing blue knife quickly enlarged in the pupils, and Changran somehow appeared in front of Shuten Doji II, holding the magic talisman in one hand and stabbing the opponent in the chest with the knife in the other.

Shuten Doji II immediately blocked the blade with his left hand and retreated with his body.

At the cost of being cut by a boy on his left forearm, he managed to gain some distance.

"You! What on earth did you do!"

Anger was burning in his eyes. This incomprehensible phenomenon made Shuten Doji II feel angry!

Chang Ran looked at Shuten Doji II with a smile and raised the talisman in his hand again.

"I said it all, I just used a little trick."

Then he appeared in front of Shuten Doji II again.

Looking at the opponent's widened eyes, he stabbed out the Doji Kiri in his hand.

"Some little trick that will work for you."

Abe Masaran, after being defined as having no talent as an onmyoji, was different from his brother Abe Masahiro. Masahiro chose to pursue literature, while Masaran chose martial arts.

This is well known to the nobles of Heian Kyo.

There were two teachers in Shoran's martial arts career, Yorimitsu Minamoto who taught archery, and Tsuna Watanabe who taught swordsmanship.

Among them, Watanabe Tsuna, who teaches swordsmanship, is a swordsman who is good at flexible fighting style. This has already been mentioned.

Changran naturally inherited this from him and had the same flexible fighting style.

This style of fighting favors speed, of course, because practicing archery also brings strength.

And in speed, there is a very fast way of moving.

It's not the [Yu Step] that Onmyojis use to move long distances with the help of spiritual veins, but the taijutsu that moves quickly over short distances - Shuchi!

According to Taoist records, there is a technique that can turn distance into nearness and achieve instantaneous movement over long distances. It is also called Shuchi.

But this Shukuchi technique is somewhat different from that Taoist technique. It is a pure physical technique, and it can only be used within a short distance to be effective.

First, the speed must be fast enough, and then the opponent must have a momentary visual shift.

To put it bluntly, it is to divert attention at that moment.

When Changran hid behind the iron pillar, Shutendouji II used flames to burn the pillar together. Before that, Changran threw some talismans and prepared to expand the barrier. This is why Shutendouji II was attracted While paying attention, Chang Ran took advantage of this moment to rush out from behind the iron pillar and detour behind Shuten Doji II.

The second time, Chang Ran raised his hand and raised a magic talisman, focusing Shuten Doji's attention on the magic talisman, and then used this momentary visual shift to rush in front of Shuten Doji.

The third time, it was the same.

Sufficient speed, coupled with a short-term visual transfer, and then creating an illusion of instant movement for the opponent, this is the Shukuchi that Chang Ran learned from Watanabe Tsuna!

However, this cool-looking ability also has limitations, that is, the condition for its use is that there is only one opponent, because when you are surrounded by a group of people watching, you cannot ensure that everyone’s attention is diverted, so that in those who do not have In the eyes of the person whose attention is being diverted, you just move quickly.

But facing Shuten Doji II, yes!

Because he is the only one here!

The third time he stabbed Dojiri, another wound was added to Shuten Doji II's left forearm.

It intersected with the previous wound to form a fork shape.

The blood stayed along the blade of the boy's cutter, causing the boy's cutter's blade, which was originally glowing with light blue spiritual power, to gradually become dim.

But Changran didn't care about this. It was probably caused by the smudged color of the blood.

Shuten Doji II, frightened by this series of sudden attacks, stepped back again, and the huge gourd behind him flew up and prepared to spit fire.

However, Chang Ran repeated his old tricks again and rushed in front of him.

This time he stabbed the other person in the throat.

He tilted his head dangerously, avoiding the stabbing tip. Instead, a lot of his pale hair was cut off.

Then back up again.

"What's wrong? Shuten Doji-sama, who returned from hell, was forced to do this by a human like me. Isn't he too incompetent?"

Changran taunted while shrinking back and rushing in again.

The blade still stabbed the opponent's throat.

But this time, Changran didn't gain anything.

Dojiri was held firmly by Shuten Doji II with his left hand. Yes, the blade was held.

The tip of the knife stopped just a finger away from Shuten Doji's throat.

Because of the height difference, Shuten Doji II held the sword and lowered his head to look down at Chang Ran who was looking up.
