Dou Tang's strong body suddenly swelled into a fist, veins bulging, and as he clenched his fist, it even made a cracking sound. Every muscle in his body was tense, ready for battle.
"Wh-what...what is this crown? What's wrong with you?" Onmyoji Ling Ming was incredulous.
But then, the crown began to spin again, filling a new blank space and revealing a new image.
The [Spirit Crown] is activated.
The image shows a girl kneeling quietly in meditation, surrounded by countless objects with mouths that seem to be telling a story.
At the same time, the longsword in Dou Tang's hand hummed incessantly, as if it had its own thoughts. Every line of the intricate patterns on the blade seemed to have its own consciousness and began to tremble.
However, the shock to the Onmyoji Ling Ming was not over yet. The crown started spinning again, revealing a new blank area where a ferocious dragon-snake was slowly emerging.
The Xiangma Crown has been launched.
Suddenly, a lot of blood-red mist surged from Dou Tang's body, scattering and falling to the ground. The flesh and blood shrouded in this mist began to stir restlessly, as if trying to break free from the control of the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming.
Although the Onmyoji Ling Ming was hiding in the blood pool, he could still feel the surging fighting spirit in his heart and almost lost control of his body.
The crown is still spinning.
Another blank space was filled, this time with long ropes of flame intertwined like giant snakes.
[Flame Rope Crown] activated.
The flaming rope reappeared in Dou Tang's hand. His left hand hung naturally, while the flaming rope was merely wrapped around his forearm, lying dormant according to his thoughts.
Chapter 134 Blood and Flesh Yin-Yang Master
At this moment, the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming was filled with nothing but horror.
Just how many crowns does this guy own?!
Five crowns are all on one person... just how long has this guy been hunting for crown targets?!
He is definitely not just a simple crown owner, but a true hunter, completely different from most of the dormant owners!
It's absolutely a life-or-death situation now!
The blood pool in front of Dou Tang suddenly surged, and countless blood bubbles turned into waves, rushing upwards.
Onmyoji Ling Ming rode the wave of blood and soared into the sky!
Countless bones were linked by muscles and flew from all sides to the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming in the center, forming a spear made of bones and flesh in his hand. He held the spear in one hand, riding the blood wave, and swooped down from the height towards Dou Tang.
The long spear, covered in a thick aura of blood, exuded a murderous intent, while the skulls used as decorations clattered and emitted mournful cries that no one could understand.
Dou Tang was not afraid at all. He held his sword in his right hand and stepped forward, his body covered with heavy killing intent. His eyes were like bright lamps, and his sword light was sharp as he slashed at the flesh-and-blood spear.
"Bang!!"
What was clearly a sharp sword felt like a heavy hammer blow as the sword tip collided with the spear.
In an instant, the blood and energy exploded, and amidst the flying flesh and blood, many of the bones that formed the main body of the spear were also shattered, with small bone fragments scattered all over the ground.
The Onmyoji Ling Ming immediately felt the situation was tricky and retreated quickly.
Dou Tang wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He waved his left hand, and the Flame Rope, under the command of its spirit, wrapped around the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming.
Onmyoji Ling Ming hurriedly waved his cypress fan, and streaks of eerie blue light flashed across the fan. Another gust of yin wind blew, carrying invisible blades that severed the flame rope.
Sections of the fiery rope fell to the ground, quickly becoming soaked with blood and flesh before disappearing.
Onmyoji Ling Ming landed gracefully beside the blood pool, cautious and wary, gritting his teeth as he looked at Dou Tang in silence.
Dou Tang then said loudly, "What, is this all you've got as an Onmyoji? I've never seen you use any spells or anything like that. Have you forgotten your job after getting the crown?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten! You arrogant fellow..." Onmyoji Ling Ming waved his cypress fan again, and countless white orbs of light appeared on the fan surface. These orbs illuminated the surroundings, but also gave off a sinister aura.
“You are more like an evil spirit than I am now,” the Onmyoji Ling Ming shouted.
The points of light converged in his hand, and the bone spear bent slightly, transforming into a new shape.
It was a very long Japanese bow.
The bow's body is made of bone and flesh, while the bowstring is pure white light, making it look like a combination of evil and holiness, inspiring awe.
"Combining exorcism techniques with evil spirit techniques, you really have failed your heritage." Dou Tang's face suddenly turned cold, his words were unfriendly, and his right hand was itching to act.
"I am the sole inheritor, so how this technique should be used is entirely up to me!"
As the Onmyoji Ling Ming shouted, he drew back the bowstring, and white light formed the shape of an arrow.
"This is the arrow that seals the Bridge of Wrath!"
The pure white arrow shot out of the bowstring, moving through the air with lightning speed! Giving Dou Tang absolutely no chance to react!
Caught off guard, Dou Tang was struck precisely in the left shoulder by the arrow!
...I was careless!
I always thought this guy was slow, but the spell is definitely not that simple... I clearly saw it, but it seems I can't dodge it!?
The flame rope in Dou Tang's left hand went out immediately, and at the same time, he was unable to lift his left hand.
But when he looked at his left shoulder, the white arrow seemed to have no physical form and had disappeared.
Onmyoji Ling Ming slowly lowered his bow and arrow, and chuckled: "This is an arrow used to command shikigami. Your body is undoubtedly an evil spirit, so it will naturally be sealed by the spell."
"I didn't expect it to be so effective. It seems that my spells have become much stronger since the new era began!"
A flash of white light appeared in his eyes, which had turned into abysses. His smile was ferocious, and his gaze extended all the way to his ears. The tentacles in his mouth swung even more wildly.
"I've changed my mind. Since you're so close to evil spirits, then I'll deal with you the way I deal with evil spirits!"
"I might as well make you my first shikigami!"
Dou Tang looked at him silently, only slightly raising her head, looking as if she would rather die than submit.
"Using you as my new experimental subject, just how many different demonic powers can your perfect body accommodate? It's truly astonishing... What is that?!"
Onmyoji Ling Ming's arrogant words were suddenly cut off halfway through.
Because the crown on Dou Tang's head suddenly began to vibrate and spin once again.
Another blank space appeared, revealing exquisite reliefs.
That was a person whose face was obscured, and behind this person stood six identical figures.
【Shadow Warrior Crown】Activated.
From the darkness behind Dou Tang, six figures shrouded in black mist slowly emerged.
Onmyoji Ling Ming had completely lost control of his expression; his face, already eroded by tentacles, still showed an utterly astonished and bewildered look.
The six figures slowly solidified, revealing themselves to be six identical Dou Tangs, all gripping their swords tightly in their right hands while their left hands hung naturally at their sides.
"This, this is impossible! How many crowns do you have...?!"
Upon hearing this, Dou Tang raised his sword: "Including the one on your head, that makes eleven."
Before the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming could answer, the six shadow warriors Dou Tang rushed forward, unleashing six dazzling sword lights that slashed at the evil spirits above the blood pool!
The Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming panicked. He quickly drew his bow and nocked an arrow. The white arrow shot out again, accurately hitting the chest of a shadow warrior named Dou Tang, sending him flying backward.
But he didn't have time to deal with the other shadow warriors; five sword lights slashed down vertically!
"brush!"
The five sword lights were perfectly synchronized, so the sound appeared to be exactly the same.
Five sword marks suddenly appeared on the body of the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming. The sword marks exploded in all directions, spewing out countless tentacles and flesh.
Its tentacles flared wildly, its flesh writhing incessantly, and the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming was transformed into a bursting flower of flesh and blood, a truly nauseating sight.
Even so, he did not die. On the contrary, the heavy five swords greatly aroused his ferocity. The tentacles intertwined with each other and then became indistinguishable, turning into even thicker tentacles that lashed out and whipped at the five shadow warriors.
The five shadow warriors drew their swords again, but this time they failed to sever the tentacles and were instead swept away horizontally.
Shadow Warriors
Adjusting its body in mid-air, it landed gracefully in different postures, landing right in front of Dou Tang, firmly protecting its master.
The Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming, who was almost no longer human, roared and raised the flesh and blood and the bow in his hand.
Chapter 135 The Mouth of Corpses and Blood
Dou Tang has seen many demons and monsters.
Evil spirits and demons often accompanied Dou Tang.
In Dou Tang's original world, so-called evil spirits are things born from evil spirits, and most of them are caused by people.
In the original world, all evil spirits were born from people's obsessions. In that world, thoughts had weight, and obsessions had karma. The entanglement of karma and thoughts transformed into evil spirits.
Medical practitioners believe that allowing the seven emotions of joy, anger, worry, thought, grief, fear, and shock to run rampant creates a breeding ground for evil spirits, constantly giving rise to things that defy common sense.
These emotions are categorized into six different forms of desire based on the distinctions between visual desire, auditory desire, olfactory desire, gustatory desire, tactile desire, and mental desire.
The seven emotions and six desires are the essence of evil spirits.
Evil spirits are born from the seven emotions and are expressed in the form of the six desires.
The intense emotions of ecstasy bring forth exhilarating and unforgettable memories.
In anger, people lose their rationality and act without considering the consequences.
When people are sad, they become depressed and reject other emotions.
When caught in a delusion, a person gradually becomes stubborn and unable to extricate themselves.
The souls of the deceased, grieving, will wander and weep incessantly.
Evil spirits born from extreme terror crave to transfer that fear to others.
Startled by the soil, the flowers that grow are like the epiphyllum. In the moment of surprise, all six emotions are contained, which is why there is a difference between joy and horror.
When combined with the six desires, it becomes an evil spirit.
Some evil spirits laughed loudly and acted arrogantly.
Some evil spirits, enraged beyond measure, become savage and violent.
Some evil spirits whisper sorrowful words, giving rise to countless nightmares.
Some evil spirits become obsessed, constantly influencing reality because of their thoughts in life.
Sadness, fear, surprise... many evil spirits are associated with it.
Dou Tang had seen too much in his past life, which is why he avoids social interaction and contact with the mortal world. He simply embarks on a journey to exorcise evil spirits and then return home.
Dou Tang opened his eyes and looked at the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming.
At this moment, that guy can no longer be ridden by humans.
Five enormous fissures split open across its body, from which countless tentacles wriggled. Fangs were forged from fragments of bone, and the body was constructed from grotesque flesh. The monster, which had only ever sought survival, had now shed its disguise and abandoned its human identity.
In Dou Tang's eyes, the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming, who had transformed into a flesh and blood monster, was nothing more than an evil spirit tainted by the mortal world and manifested in the form of desire.
He may not be able to make arbitrary comments on human emotions, but he can ruthlessly expel evil spirits.
That inhuman posture is desire.
That noisy, cacophony of hisses is a desire to hear.
That thick, foul smell of blood is a kind of sensual pleasure.
That bitter, fishy, and sweet rotten flesh is the taste of desire.
That sticky, bouncy body is tactilely sensual.
Now, Dou Tang only has one thing to do: to destroy everything about the Onmyoji Ling Ming.
Five shadow warriors stepped forward together, their swords flashing, and their dense sword moves severed every tentacle that the Onmyoji Ling Ming extended.
Large gushes of foul blood gushed out from the gaps in the tentacles, splattering onto the Shadow Warrior Dou Tang's body.
Onmyoji Ling Ming's roar turned into a scream. He struggled to extend the limbs that could still be called arms, raised the longbow, and with all his strength, drew the bow and nocked an arrow again.
The shadow warrior who had been knocked away rushed in front of Dou Tang, and the two of them, one in front of the other, advanced towards the Yin Yang Master Ling Ming with great strides.
"You damned... Ah, ah, I will never die here!"
"Whoosh!!"
The white arrow illuminated the entire space in an instant, piercing precisely into the chest of the shadow warrior Dou Tang.
The shadow warrior Dou Tang was just sent flying backward by the attack, but Dou Tang pressed down on his back and pushed him back. The two paused for only a moment, and then the shadow warrior Dou Tang regained his balance and walked towards the Yin Yang Master Ling Ming again.
