Crossover Anime: Mortal Slays Demons, Achieving Supernatural Power

Page 21

[The Spirit Art: Infinite Deception of Words has been upgraded to the maximum level, and its proficiency has reached Max. Consuming another 5 portions of Spiritual Source will allow the Spirit Art to be sublimated into a Divine Power.]

Seeing that Kotoha's Infinite Deception has reached its maximum level, the effect is to reduce spiritual power consumption by 80%.

Zhong Li breathed a sigh of relief.

It has 6 times the spiritual energy storage and recovery of the Spirit Field Furnace Core, which serves as a support for consumption.

Zhongli was confident that he could briefly distort the hearse's ability to take someone's place and then kill him.

During the brief period when Zhongli was upgrading his spiritual arts, Luo Jing noticed that Zhongli was silent and assumed that he was worried about safety, so he comforted him.

"Don't worry, when the hearse arrives, throw your phone out."

I will support you in taking down the hearse with a full-power ranged attack.

After that, you only need to complete a mid-level task.

Don't forget Luo Jing's supernatural abilities, which give him the ability to strike from a great distance, and are also the reason why he remains lazy and unhurried.

Otherwise, precious supernatural beings like Zhang Jinglan and Chen Miaomiao wouldn't have been sent here separately for training in Sakura.

What they were looking for was Luo Jing's exceptional support capabilities.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense for Luo Jing to become the head of the branch of Sakura Yilutong Company.

Upon hearing that there would also be remote support for the attack, Zhongli's eyes lit up. This was great; the security was much better.

At the same time, having a strong backer makes one feel safe.

It's really frustrating to have to complete a mid-level task.

However, this requirement is also reasonable. If one could apply for remote strikes at will without any cost, what would be the point of doing missions?

"I plan to try to deal with the hearse first, and if that doesn't work..."

I'll throw my phone out and request a remote strike.

Hearing that Zhongli still wanted to resist the hearse, Luo Jing raised an eyebrow but did not stop him, only giving him some instructions.

"Whatever. If you can handle the hearse on your own, it'll count as a mid-level task, but don't mess it up."

After saying that, Luo Jing hung up.

With dead fish eyes, he stared intently at two close dots, one red and one green, on the screen.

Ten fingers flew across the keyboard, and wisps of electricity gradually appeared around him, illuminating the dim room.

the other side.

Hearing the phone call being disconnected, Zhongli shouted loudly to Touka Takanashi behind him, braving the fierce wind.

"Shihua, put your phone in my pocket."

"Whatever I say later, you have to deny it's fake, you understand? This is very important; it's a matter of life and death."

Upon hearing the order, Toka, who was perched on Zhongli's back, stuffed her phone back into Zhongli's pocket and responded loudly.

"clear."

Takanashi Touka didn't quite catch what Zhongli was saying on the phone.

But he also vaguely understood that a stronger supernatural force was chasing after him.

The sight of birds swimming among the flowers evokes both fear and excitement.

But as an ordinary person, all she can do now is to listen to Zhongli's every word.

Seeing that the little bird Yu Shihua understood the gravity of the situation, Zhongli nodded secretly.

At that moment, a system task notification sounded.

[Ding, a paranormal quest has been triggered: Remove the intermediate-level paranormal event - the Death Hearse.]

Zhong Li's eyelids twitched wildly, sensing a deadly threat coming from the commercial street to his right.

Instantly, his spiritual energy surged, strengthening the blue wings beneath him, and his speed exploded, breaking through 230 kilometers per hour.

The locomotive suddenly surged forward a section.

Boom...

In that instant, a hearse, like a ghost and adorned with white and yellow flowers, suddenly sprang out from the shops on the right side of the commercial street.

The two high school girls holding hands were instantly smashed to pieces.

A leg clad in black stockings flew high into the air and landed in the fat otaku's arms, where he held it blankly.

The hearse, like a streak of light, brushed past the rear of Zhongli's motorcycle and disappeared into another tall building.

It startled pedestrians on the street, causing them to scream in surprise.

"Holy crap, what was that white streak of light? And why did those two high school girls explode?"

"Ahhhhhh, those black-stockinged thighs are in my arms!"

"I...I think I saw a car suddenly dart out of the store and crash into something?"

"Ahhhhhh, those black stockings and thighs!"

"Are you seeing things? The car sped out of the store, but where is it?"

"Aaaaaaah, look at those black stockings and thighs!"

"I don't know either?"

"Ahhh, what are you all still guessing for? Call the police right now! There are thighs in black stockings!"

"Oh, right, right, call the police."

Beep beep beep... The emergency call connected, and the fat guy snatched the phone and screamed.

"Ahhhhh, officer, something terrible has happened! Two high school girls have exploded!"

I'm holding a pair of black-stockinged thighs in my arms; they're so smooth!

Sakura Police: ?

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Zhongli was unaware of the crazy behavior of the fat otaku on the street.

At this moment, he was leading Takanashi Toka in a life-or-death frenzy.

Chapter 24 The Death Hearse Goes Wild and Ascends to the Sky.

Takanashi Touka, who was behind the motorcycle, saw two high school girls being smashed to pieces by a strange vehicle.

It even grazed the back of the car, flew past, and disappeared through the wall, leaving her drenched in cold sweat and her heart pounding wildly. She involuntarily hugged Zhong Li tightly around the waist and said in a trembling voice.

"Was that...was that car the ghost chasing us?"

That's terrifying! How can people be so vulnerable to the supernatural?

Zhongli did not answer Takanashi Touka's question, and continued to maintain his enhanced spiritual power as the motorcycle sped through the sparse traffic.

A bright light shone in his azure eyes, and countless tears of emptiness flowed from them, floating around him.

With preparations complete, Zhongli lied to the bird, Yu Shihua.

"The hearse that tried to ram us just now couldn't keep up with us at all, and it couldn't hit us."

The sudden question startled Takanashi Touka.

But she quickly came to her senses and remembered Zhongli's previous instructions.

Everything he says must be denied.

Without hesitation, the bird swam among the ten flowers and immediately rejected the idea.

"fake."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongli began chanting incantations at lightning speed.

[A lie within a lie, and the truth can be reversed in an instant.]

Boom...

Just as the incantation was finished, a hearse suddenly sprang out from a building about ten meters to the side.

It crashed in with tremendous force, instantly sending several pedestrians and a car flying and smashing them to pieces.

When they were within a few meters of each other, they suddenly slowed down, as if they had run out of fuel.

This scene terrified Takanashi Touka, who was watching closely behind.

Zhongli remained quite calm about this, and even had time to sense the consumption of spiritual energy within his body.

Hmm, it doesn't consume much.

It's roughly equivalent to two levels of spiritual power for a normal lower-level spiritualist.

If placed under the [Spiritual Art: Words of Infinite Deception] skill without being upgraded to LV5 and having its consumption reduced by 80%, it is equivalent to consuming the amount of a lower-level spiritualist.

After assessing the energy expenditure, Zhongli glanced at the direction the hearse was following closely through the rearview mirror.

He raised one hand and snapped his fingers backward.

"Let me see if the Death Chariot can stop the Tears of the Void."

With that, he flicked his finger, and 20 drops of Void Tears beside him compressed into a blade and shot out.

brush brush...

The hearse continued to accelerate, its tires emitting plumes of white smoke, but it simply couldn't keep up.

Faced with the rapidly approaching Void Tear, the car body seemed to try to penetrate it.

However, the 20 Tearful Slashes distorted spacetime, cutting it into pieces of varying sizes.

The numerous urns inside the hearse were nearly chopped into pieces, with the remaining urns scattered on the road.

"Can a mid-level supernatural being still completely overwhelm the Tears of the Void?!"

Seeing the Void Tear utterly destroy the intermediate supernatural being with a single blow.

Zhongli did not stop to check, but slowed down slightly and used his spirit observation technique to examine the fragments of the spirit carriage.

He hadn't forgotten that the death hearse also had the ability to take someone else's place.

We should take advantage of the fact that the hearse has been briefly destroyed to see what its capabilities are.

[Death Hearse]

[Race]: Spirit

[Level]: Intermediate Supernatural

[Abilities]: Obstacle crossing, carrying ashes, burning ghost fire, and killing when about to die.

After reviewing the data panel of the death hearse.

Zhongli fell into thought.

The obstacle-crossing and burning ghost fire are easy to guess; they are the penetration and ghost fire that Luo Jing mentioned in the information.

The ability to carry ashes is probably related to controlling ghosts and spirits, and it's likely also related to the ability to die in place of others.

As for the idea that someone nearing death would inevitably be killed, Zhongli guessed that it meant that the person's lifespan was nearing its end and they would certainly die if they faced the hearse.

While Zhongli was checking the information, the hearse carrying the death saw Zhongli driving further and further away.

It didn't come to check according to common human sense, nor did it pretend to be dead.

One of the dozens of undamaged urns scattered outside suddenly exploded, releasing a large amount of white ashes.

Immediately afterwards, the hearse seemed to reverse time, quickly returning to its original state.

As the car body burst into purple-black flames, it propelled itself into the sky, approaching Zhongli and Takanashi Touka.

From the dozens of remaining urns inside the vehicle, ghostly spirits, also burning with purplish-black flames and wailing, emerged and circled the vehicle.

Wherever the fiery ghosts passed, the road surface burst into a purplish-black flame.

Cars driving on the road were all set on fire and melted.
