Chapter 184 - Taking Out the Shikigami
One of those people wore a red trench coat with a dragon emblazoned on it and a tiger-shaped mask. That was Yin Hu—the man who they had been waiting for.
A young man who looked to be in his late teens was seen at Yin Hu’s side. He was dressed casually, making him look like the college students found everywhere in Huaxia.
What shocked him even more was how he was only able to sense one of them. Both parties were incredibly close by then, being less than 20 meters away, yet he was only able to sense the presence of Yin Hu.
He was unable to sense the presence of that young man at all.
It was as if the young man did not exist in the first place, yet that young man was unmistakably standing in front of him, making it clear to him that he was not some illusion.
At the very moment he spotted Yin Hu, he knew right away that all his schemes prior failed altogether. There was no doubt by then why Onmoraki died while Yin Hu, who was the target they were setting up, lived and looked only somewhat haggard.
“He’s really here. You really have a way with calculations, Mr. Lu.”
Yin Hu was totally convinced of the breadth of Lu Xuan’s powers by then, for the young man’s calculation proved to be spot on.
Lu Xuan unleashed a bolt of lightning from his finger. The bolt of lightning pierced right through that white demon like a sword right away.
The white demon was apparently inferior to the huge black dog. It was on a different level altogether.
An onmyoji had finite strength and focus, after all, which meant that they had to make their choices and have biases if they were to keep so many powerful shikigami with them at the same time.
It was apparent that the black dog was the main shikigami in Kojima Hideo’s arsenal.
That white demon was far inferior in comparison.
However, Kojima Hideo still did not expect to have that white demon taken out by just a bolt of lightning unleashed from Lu Xuan’s finger.
The demon shrieked in pain as it vanished into a puff of smoke.
The lightning conjured by Lu Xuan’s Galloping Thunder Finger contained the strongest, immutable power of lightning, which was most effective in taking out eerie beings. While shikigami might be known as gods, they were still actually the likes of ghosts and demons, which meant that there was no way they could withstand one attack from his finger.
Any being like that would be taken out almost instantly.
“How is this possible?”
Kojima Hideo was totally baffled by then.
“What other shikigami do you have, eh? How about you show them to us?” Lu Xuan smirked condescendingly at Kojima Hideo.
The Japanese fighter was immediately furious at how Lu Xuan remained nonchalant and laidback after that, for it was a sign saying that Lu Xuan was looking down on him.
Kojima Hideo was completely infuriated as he continued to chant ancient mantras, summoning all manner of shikigami.
The number of shikigami he summoned was extensive. The tens of them were seen charging at Lu Xuan from all corners.
“Ants could take down an elephant if in large enough numbers. I see how you would be able to fend off so many of them. Die, you insolent Huaxian!”
Kojima Hideo’s elation lasted for less than a second, for he saw, with his jaw gaping, how Lu Xuan was able to conjure and spread lightning bolts from his Spiritual Qi like a huge net.
All of the summoned shikigami were caught by the net right away. They all vanished in a puff of smoke after shrieking for a brief moment.
