Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#526 - Taoist Priest Jiufeng

In the end, under the relentless, unreasonable, and unyielding attacks of the old monk, the Onmyoji from the island nation couldn't hold on for long.

After only about seven or eight minutes of stalemate, once the acceleration spell on him wore off, the old monk, who had been waiting for the opportunity, seized it and shattered his protective spiritual light with a single blow to the crown of his head.

He met a tragic end, his body destroyed and his spirit extinguished!

Despite being the number one Onmyoji of the island nation, everyone watching believed that he must have been holding back many powerful killing moves, life-saving techniques, and even absolute killer moves.

But what good was it?

No matter how many supernatural powers or magical techniques you possess, if you can't use them, it's all empty talk!

And so ~

"In this Sino-Japanese Extraordinary Ability Exchange Tournament! Match four! China~ Monk Yi wins!"

Under the loudly announced, beaming face of the white-haired elder, the number of consecutive wins for China reached four.

In the audience, the various Chinese figures present burst into thunderous applause, with cheers rising higher and higher.

Yuan Datou on the podium also had a face full of joy, his smile never fading.

On the other hand, the faces of the island nation's representatives were so gloomy that it seemed like black water would drip from them.

They all looked at people with their heads half-lowered, eyes rolling upwards, or looking sideways, giving off a sinister and unapproachable expression.

However, the more it was like this, the more humiliated the island nation's group felt, the more they held their breath, and the more impatient they became.

Therefore, seeing themselves defeated again, the fifth match began immediately after.

Through a round of routine drawing of lots, the two sides who ultimately took the stage were Onmyoji Er from Japan and Dao Wu from China…

There's no need to elaborate too much on the Onmyoji from the island nation; presumably, in terms of methods, he should be similar to the old monk's opponent.

It is rumored that the Onmyoji lineage actually separated from the Taoist Yin-Yang tradition of China.

Legends about them remain in various parts of the Central Plains. Later, they crossed the sea to the east, settled in the island nation, and combined with some local methods, adapting to local conditions, before finally forming the current Onmyoji of the island nation.

But judging from their skills, apart from having a Shikigami-like contracted ghost to assist in combat, they are basically still on the same path as Taoism.

Drawing talismans, casting spells, setting up formations, dispelling spirits, exorcising ghosts, fortune-telling, reading feng shui, etc.

And Dao Wu from China, although only ranked fifth among the Taoist sects who came this time, apart from Liang Yue, the intruder, his own abilities and skills are absolutely unquestionable.

Because what he represents is the lineage of Maoshan Taoism!

The Maoshan Sect sent two people this time, Lin Jiufeng and his junior sister Zhegu.

The Maoshan tradition is broad and profound, and it is a sect that emphasizes both martial arts and Taoism. The sect almost has all the traditions involved in the Taoist lineage.

However, it is precisely because the Maoshan tradition is too vast that the fields that the disciples under the sect are involved in and good at are also different.

The brother and sister Lin Jiufeng who came this time are proficient in the methods of catching ghosts, subduing demons, driving corpses, and destroying demons.

The bias is too strong. Regardless of their abilities in this field, once they encounter a good martial artist or an opponent who is good at physical skills and close combat, they will easily be targeted.

Therefore, after many comparisons, they can only temporarily rank fifth.

Among the Taoist elites who came this time, apart from Liang Yue, the Daoist First, those ranked ahead of this Maoshan brother and sister also include two direct disciples of the Celestial Masters from Longhu Mountain, two head disciples of Quanzhen Taoism, and two swordsmen brothers from Qingcheng Sect.

In short, unlike the chaotic and turbulent situation in the Chinese secular world, in the current world of extraordinaries, the major sects are truly full of talents, and the situation is turbulent!

…

Learning from the lesson of the previous match, where the old monk had the advantage of taking the initiative and was chased all the way to his death, the Onmyoji in front of him seemed very cautious.

As soon as he came on stage, he began to quickly pinch his fingers and chant spells, summoning his contracted Shikigami.

After a surge of smoke and dust, a creature with a rather strange appearance suddenly appeared in the arena~

At first glance, this monster was about two meters tall, but its waist seemed even larger.

Its entire body was dark green, with a ghostly face with protruding bones, long fangs in its long mouth, and a pair of sharp bull horns on both sides of its forehead.

The body below the neck simply took on the appearance of a spider, and the ends of the six sharp limbs were like six sharp daggers.

Every step it took could pierce thin, deep cuts into the compacted ground!

However, judging from its temperament alone, this is not a particularly strong creature.

At least, in Liang Yue's eyes, compared to the Eight-Tailed Ushi-oni with the same name in the Naruto world, this thing is not enough to watch at all.

If it were him who was on the stage, this would definitely be the type of guy who would kneel with one move~

Unfortunately, it is Uncle Ying who is playing the game now…

I saw that, facing the demon ghost summoned by the island nation's Onmyoji, Daoist Jiufeng appeared exceptionally cautious at this time.

His eyebrows stood upside down, and his expression was serious~

The golden great sword in his hand was suddenly inserted into the ground, and then he reached into the front of his chest and took out a Bagua mirror the size of a face plate, densely engraved with various Taoist spells.

Then, I saw Daoist Jiufeng decisively bite the tip of his finger, and bright red blood suddenly overflowed.

Using his finger as a pen, he quickly swiped a few times on the Bagua mirror, and golden light suddenly burst forth from it!

Then, he gently threw the bronze mirror into the air, accurately suspended above the Ushi-oni's head, and slowly rotated.

For a time, thousands of rays of light wantonly unfolded.

The island nation's demon ghost below screamed suddenly under the illumination of this golden light, and was so frightened that it shrank its head.

The six spider legs were desperately pounding, trying to quickly withdraw from the range of the golden light, but unfortunately, the Bagua mirror at this moment was like a shadow, always chasing after the Ushi-oni's head.

It seemed to be able to automatically track ghosts.

Bathed in this golden light, in a few breaths, the surface of the ghost monster began to slowly melt like a layer of wax that had encountered scorching fire.

The Ushi-oni was also immediately subjected to great pain, and the screams were higher than the waves.

Unfortunately, the power of this Bagua mirror does not seem to be able to kill the opponent at once, it can only rely on grinding time to slowly subdue the opponent.

Looking at Lin Daoshi himself, after throwing out the Bagua mirror, he then took out a large handful of talismans from his sleeves and began to hit the opposite Onmyoji, five or six at a time, seven or eight at a time.

After the talismans were released, some instantly turned into golden light, some became fireballs, some turned into gusts of wind, some transformed into falling rocks, some became hailstones, and some turned into lightning.

"Boom!" "Crack! !" "Gulu ~" "Hu ~ ~ ~"…

For a time, the wide competition arena suddenly became a disaster-stricken scene of natural disasters, and all kinds of ping-pong sounds were endless!

Patches and patches of spells were scattered out as if they didn't cost money, firmly encircling the opposite Onmyoji.

In terms of inventory, it is also almost endless. After a large handful of talismans were scattered, Lin Daoshi turned around and took another handful out of his pocket and continued to throw it.

It seems that, for this extraordinary ability exchange competition, Lin Daoshi also made a lot of preparations before the game~
