With a bang, the sword energy barrier shattered, and the remaining sword energy inside directly penetrated Xu Cheng's flame body, but still did not cause any damage.

The high priest slashed with his sword, instantly splitting Xu Cheng in half from his head to his body, but this was just a useless effort.

Xu Cheng completely gave up his defense and punched the great priest in the chest.

With a bang, his old body flew backwards and landed on the ground. A blackened fist appeared on his chest, and the flames ignited his clothes.

The high priest stood up with his hands on the ground, panting violently. His eyes saw that the picture was blurred, and everything turned into a double image.

If he were young, or twenty years younger, he would not be afraid of Xu Cheng who had the Eight-tatami Mirror.

But he is too old now, so old that even one use of Sword Qi Shadow will drain all his energy.

Noticing that Xu Cheng was about to pursue him, the high priest raised his hand and pointed, and with the sound of breaking through the air, the scabbard flew out from the burning shrine, turning into a Yamata-no-Orochi and pounced on Xu Cheng.

While Xu Cheng was being blocked, the high priest used Tian Congyun Sword as a crutch to support him back to the shrine.

Flames penetrated the roof of the shrine, igniting the wooden structure and turning it into a sea of ​​flames.

Returning to the main hall, you can see fires everywhere, and from time to time there are burnt wooden beams and stones falling down from the top.

The high priest still remembered that there was a living Kagebei, but he couldn't find him even if he looked left and right.

Maybe it's because my eyesight is dim.

At the last moment of his life, he decided to turn a blind eye, walked quickly to the place where the heavenly sacrifice ceremony was held, and slashed forward with his sword.

The blade flashed past, and a crack was cut out of thin air, but this crack looked unstable and could close at any time.

The cold spirit wind blew out from the cracks, refreshing the high priest's spirits.

Suddenly, accompanied by a shrill roar, the scabbard flew back from outside the shrine, with burn marks all over it.

The high priest put the Tiancongyun Sword back into its scabbard, then stretched out his hand to touch it, his old face full of reluctance.

Although this artifact was given by Amaterasu, it has been with him for more than fifty years and is a companion closer than family. He did not expect to be separated at the last moment.

Poof!

The high priest suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and a burning fire spear penetrated from his chest.

Xu Cheng had already chased him into the shrine and attacked him from a distance.

The high priest summoned the last of his strength and threw the Tian Congyun Sword into the crack.

The Tiancongyun Sword sank into it, and the cracks closed and disappeared completely.

Two more fire spears flew over, pierced the great priest's chest, and began to set his body on fire.

His life was surprisingly tenacious. Only when he was seriously injured could he turn around and face Xu Cheng.

"you win."

The high priest's whole body was burned by the flames, and he was shaking. He said weakly: "Even if you destroy the Protectorate, please protect Japan and our country. Please."

As he spoke, he bent down hard, trying to make a bow.

When he bent down deeply, Xu Chengcai said coldly: "I am not Japanese, but your bow is not wrong. After all, you still owe us an apology."

The high priest suddenly raised his head, with a shocked expression on his face.

Xu Cheng reached out and patted his shoulder: "I come from the other side of the sea and am your enemy."

The expression on the high priest's face has solidified.

This man who had mastered Japanese artifacts, destroyed the Protectorate of Japan, and had such powerful power turned out to be a person from across the sea who was hostile to Japan.

The high priest could no longer imagine how much disaster Xu Cheng would cause Japan in the future. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to make a sound, but was stabbed in by a fire spear.

boom!

The scorching flames completely engulfed his whole body, and soon he was reduced to a human-shaped ball of charcoal.

The entire shrine was also crumbling under the burning flames. After Xu Cheng flew out of the shrine, he only heard a roar and the century-old ancient building collapsed.

"Huh? Why isn't it over yet?"

Xu Cheng thought the task was over here, but the manager has not yet completed the task settlement.

He searched around the area but couldn't find anyone alive, wondering if the entire Protectorate had to be completely destroyed before the mission was over?

Recalling the door that resembled Lingzi's Tomb just now, Xu Cheng also doubted in his heart whether the mission had anything to do with that door.

If there is also a spirit son's tomb inside, will there be other bodies of the hero?

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to open it. After groping back and forth in the shrine for a long time, I had no clue and had to give up.

Unable to teleport home, Xu Cheng relied on the convenience of transforming into a Vulcan to fly away from the air.

After he left, the flames of the shrine became more and more intense, igniting the surrounding trees and soon turning into a wildfire.

In the collapsed shrine, the high temperature distorted the air, and a crack suddenly appeared out of thin air, followed by a square door.

A foot stepped out of the door, and immediately after, a girl wearing a red and white witch costume walked out of the door.

Her eyes glowed red, completely ignoring the high-temperature flames around her, and she held a samurai sword tightly in her right hand.

It's the Tian Cong Yun sword that the great priest just threw in.

The door behind her closed. The girl's red eyes looked in the direction Xu Cheng left. She jumped out of the shrine, jumped again, and disappeared into the night.

…

After flying out of the mountainous area of ​​Mount Untori, Xu Cheng had to give up using the power of the Yata Mirror.

He turned into a wooden man and resisted the demonic sound filling his ears, but he couldn't stand it for about half an hour.

After all, he is not a real wooden person, and he will still be affected by subtle influences, which can accumulate to the limit.

However, with the gift of emotional control, Xu Cheng was able to use the Yata Mirror safely within at least half an hour, which was an unexpected surprise.

It's a pity that the great priest actually threw Tiancongyun Sword into the crack before he died, otherwise Xu Cheng would have been able to collect the three artifacts and achieve what Destiny is in me.

He fell to the side of the road, his head was still buzzing, and there seemed to be a voice whispering in his ears.

He took out his mobile phone and called Hoshizaki Yukina and asked Xu Cheng to pick him up on his exclusive mount. However, she complained on her mobile phone that she had no energy left and asked Xu Cheng to take a ride home.

It was still a bit far from the city, so Xu Cheng had to stand on the side of the road to stop the car, but no one was willing to pick him up after waiting for a while.

It seems that the ability card is still too handsome and not obvious.

He switched to the killer card and his clothes were restored automatically.

Stand on the roadside and hold out your hand to stop the car.

With the sound of brakes, a car stopped in front of him.

The driver was a man with heavy makeup. He winked at Xu Cheng ambiguously and said, "Handsome guy, I'll take you wherever you want to go."

After he finished speaking, he licked his red lips and touched his thighs wearing garters with his hands.

Xu Cheng: "..."

It seems that the killer card is handsome enough and manly enough, but it is too odorous.

About half an hour later, Xu Cheng took a car from a kind-hearted rich woman to the city and declined her invitation to play cards in the hotel.

It's not that he is pure and stoic, but that the rich woman is eight feet tall and eight feet wide, so he really has no luck.

"Manager, why hasn't the task been completed yet?"

Xu Cheng asked the task manager, but the manager ignored him.

He had no choice but to read the mission description again, and couldn't figure out which condition had not been completed. Was it really necessary to kill all the remaining members of the Protectorate Council to complete it?

Not all members of the Protectorate Council came to participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony tonight, and a small number did not come due to various reasons.

If all the members really need to be eliminated, it will take a long time to find the remaining people. After all, they will definitely hide after knowing the danger.

With no clue, Xu Cheng had to put the matter behind him for the time being and prepare to take the subway to Godera Chizuru's home to meet them.

Just as Xu Cheng was about to go to the subway, he suddenly felt pain in his back.

When he looked down, he saw a sharp knife stabbing out of his chest.

"Ahhh!"

Several passers-by screamed in terror and ran back in fright.

Xu Cheng slowly turned his head and looked back, and saw a girl with red eyes, wearing a red and white witch costume, holding an Tian Cong Yun sword and piercing his back.

The girl's charming and delicate face looks a bit familiar.

Sarina!
Chapter completed!
