Chapter 228 Neon Lights Engulfed in Chaos
Although Erii displayed amazing fighting power, she was still just one person. As the aura of the White King was released, it was not only the White King's retinue from Takamagahara that were attracted, but also other monsters hidden in the deep sea!
Monsters resembling hordes of corpses were countless! They began to approach the White King with a pilgrimage-like devotion!
Because the White Queen had only lost consciousness, her physical needs remained, and having just recovered, she urgently needed to eat to replenish herself, thus attracting these monsters.
Originally, after being brutally beaten by Li Muyang, Bai Wang only wanted to leave. However, now that she has almost recovered most of her mental energy, her subconscious began to believe that she was capable again. She only needed to replenish her physical strength and energy to destroy Tokyo and repeat the sinking of Takamagahara!
Faced with this situation, even without the Snake Clan requesting help, various forces in Japan have already taken the initiative to stop them. It is clear that this is no longer a matter for the Snake Clan alone. If they continue to stand by and watch, they will not escape their fate!
Meanwhile, Angers, Gojo Satoru, and Nakiri Senzaemon, who were hiding in the shadows, also took the initiative to help the Snake-Headed Eight Families fight against the White King's Families.
After all, the Snake Clan didn't have time to rebel this time, and they were still in caesarea's group.
Erii glanced at it but ignored it, partly because she had already killed her way down to the last person, and ordinary combatants dared not approach for fear of being caught in the crossfire.
Genjiro, on the other hand, obediently thanked them while fighting the enemy.
The three of them didn't waste any words; they decided to deal with these monsters first!
For combat power of their caliber, these so-called "familiars" were all just grunts! They posed no threat to their lives, only their sheer number made them seem insignificant! For a moment, Gojo Satoru missed Li Muyang. If Old Li were here, with his abilities, he could probably clear out these grunts much more easily!
I should have called Etotsu Yuta too!
"Aren't you going to make a move?" Tachibana Masamune said solemnly to the old woman beside him, "They probably can't handle so many family members! There will likely be a large influx of family members into Tokyo!"
The old woman sneered, "What does this have to do with us? Our only goal is the White Dragon Bone!"
Another man dressed as a samurai spoke up: "When have you ever cared about these people's lives or deaths? Or have you gotten too emotionally involved in the acting?"
Another figure coldly said, "If we intervene now, they will never be grateful! They will turn against us instead! So why should we help them?"
"Tachibana Masamune! No! Herzog! Get your facts straight! Our cooperation with you is nothing more than charity! It's none of your business to criticize us!"
Tachibana Masamune gritted his teeth. Although he didn't take the Snake Clan too seriously, as long as he could obtain the White King's power, why would he have to worry about not having subordinates?
The problem is that the attitude of these "collaborators" who don't take him seriously at all makes Tachibana Masamune very angry!
Just wait! Wait until I obtain the power of the White King...
The five fingers of the Hand knew exactly what Tachibana Masamune was thinking. Alexandra, Lady Goth, Bottom, Sowanda, and Murakami all knew that Tachibana Masamune was coveting the White King's power. However, in their eyes, Tachibana Masamune's behavior was tantamount to courting death!
With your meager dragon bloodline, barely stronger than an ordinary person, Herzog, you actually dare to try and fuse with the White King's power? Isn't that a gross underestimation of the White King?
Even after all these years of research, they've only managed to use the dragon bone to peek into immortality! You dare to try and usurp the White King's power right off the bat? You're really bold!
In the eyes of the five leaders of the Hand, Herzog would definitely be devoured by the White King's consciousness in an instant!
Unfortunately, they didn't know that the White King's consciousness had already dissipated! What remained was just a shell of the White King's spiritual power!
If there are no other variables, whoever enters the White King's body first is likely to be the first to master the White King's power and become the new White King!
Of course, it's not absolute.
As more and more members of the family surged out of the sea, just as Tachibana Masamune had predicted, the Snake-Headed Eight Families could no longer stop the White King's attack, and more and more escaped! The blockade was also breached!
"Patriarch Genji! If you have any other tricks up your sleeve, use them now!" Angers shouted to Genji with a wry smile. The once refined and easy-going old gentleman was now covered in blood. He simply tore off the tangled thing, revealing his well-defined muscles.
Gojo Satoru was in good shape, after all, he was a turret-type mage. Although he was also good at melee combat, there was no need to engage in melee combat against this type of enemy.
Senzaemon Nakiri was also shirtless. In this world, he wasn't just a simple chef; his muscles looked incredibly ferocious! He was also radiating illusory black flames, like a demon king incarnate! His greatsword had already slain countless familiars, yet he showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, he seemed somewhat excited and a little hyped!
"Principal Angers! If I had a solution, I would have used it already!" Yuan Zhisheng exclaimed, both amused and exasperated. What other solution did he have?
It seems the only option is to ask Erii and see if Li Muyang is willing to help!
Just as she was about to speak, Erii spoke up first: "Our helpers have arrived!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deafening roar echoed through the sky! A golden light pierced through layers of dark clouds, and a magnificent, vast, and ancient city appeared out of thin air in the sky!
Before the crowd could even react in surprise, countless beams of light erupted from the city, forming a barrage that illuminated the night sky as if it were daytime!
Immediately following, the light cannons blasted into the ranks of the White King's retinue, causing a series of violent explosions! In the blink of an eye, almost all of the White King's retinue were wiped out!
"Holy crap? What is this thing?" Angers was startled again by what he saw! What was this thing that had appeared out of the neon now? Last time it was an orbital cannon, and this time it's a sky city?
Gojo Satoru and Nakiri Senzaemon were also in a daze. This situation reminded them of a certain legend.
The problem is, this building doesn't contain any of the demonic aura similar to the Yamata no Orochi from before? Instead... it seems to have an aura somewhat similar to Li Muyang's? Natural? Or a spirit?
Erii calmly explained, "They are Mu Yang's subordinates, members of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) in Heian-kyo."
"What?! Is this really a parade of a hundred demons?!" Gojo Goshin was terrified! The feeling this city gave him was that there were probably more powerful figures inside than he could count on two hands!
Senzaemon Nakiri stroked his beard. This kid actually had such hidden power! He'd never shown it before!
In any case, those who have come to help are our own people! Not to mention, these Night Parade of One Hundred Demons don't possess the terrifying and tyrannical demonic aura of the Yamata no Orochi! Instead, they exude a natural aura, giving off the feeling of spirits and monsters, clearly representing the righteous path of heaven and earth!
Friendly!
Meanwhile, the Hand Association and Tachibana Masamune's side suddenly started arguing after the appearance of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons)!
"Herzog! What the hell is this?!" Madam Gao demanded in disbelief, "Before we came here, you never said there would be an opponent of this caliber!"
Tachibana Masamune was also dumbfounded: "I didn't know! I swear I didn't know there was such a group of people!"
Murakami said with a grave expression, "They... are probably the legendary Night Parade of One Hundred Demons! I never expected that this commotion would even alarm these legendary monsters!"
"It's alright, you're not leaving today anyway."
A voice suddenly came from behind them.
Without a word, Murakami turned and acted decisively! He showed no intention of exchanging a few words. Having found his way here, and then suddenly saying something like that, could they really be on the same wavelength?
Unfortunately, the newcomers were even less ethical than they were.
A burst of raging thunder instantly filled the area where they were!
"Hmph!" Feng Ling'er was like a thunder god, her whole body constantly emitting bursts of lightning, and she also had a small ball of concentrated storm in each of her hands.
The Hand was wiped out almost immediately, leaving only five leaders and Tachibana Masamune alive.
"Mr. Tachibana Masamune, do you know how long we've been listening here?" Bai Yuxiu emerged from the shadows, a lightsaber in her hand, her eyes icy cold. "We really can't believe you're this kind of person! If Mr. Genji knew the truth, he'd probably be heartbroken for a long time."
Tachibana Masamune's face was extremely grim; he truly hadn't expected this! He had always thought the two girls accompanying Li Muyang were just pretty faces, but he never imagined they were both espers! And not just any ordinary esper!
He was so focused on guarding against Lao Li that he neglected the two girls beside him! And they've actually been spying on him the whole time?
"Stop flattering yourself. Do we need to specifically monitor you? We were originally going to hand you over to Erii to deal with, but we didn't expect you to be so reckless!" Feng Ling'er seemed to see through Tachibana Masamune's thoughts and chuckled as she explained, "When you contacted the Hand, Old Lee found out, and that's how your every move came into our possession!"
Tachibana Masamune's expression changed drastically, and the five fingers of the Hand Society beside him glared angrily! You're truly incompetent and more likely to cause trouble than anything else! Weren't you supposed to contact us secretly? How did you get discovered so easily?
Li Muyang… Oops! This is troublesome!
"Impossible... Wait! Could it be..." Tachibana Masamune couldn't believe it. He had clearly contacted the Hand through Kaguya's highest level of authority. Logically, no one should have noticed! Even Erii and Genji shouldn't have been able to make contact.
There's only one possibility left: something's wrong with our AI, Kaguya!
"Little girls, that kid didn't just send the two of you to deal with us, did he?" Alexandra asked with a sneer. Wasn't she underestimating them a bit? Li Muyang didn't even come in person?
"How could that be?" Bai Yuxiu said with a slight smile. Did they think that their conversation here was a way of making threats before the station?
