Seeing Luo Zhen calmly chant his incantation while Takimiko's expression grew more and more pained and the Divine Aura around her grew increasingly frenzied, Kurahashi Genji could no longer remain composed.
But with the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit protecting him, neither Miyaji Hanao's fire arts nor the ferocious attacks of the Kurahashi Family's two guardians could get close to Luo Zhen or touch him. They were completely unable to stop him.
Kurahashi Genji tried several times to break away and stop Luo Zhen himself, but each time, Kyoko caught him off guard and forced him back with her sorcery.
As for Kagami Reiji, he had no intention whatsoever of helping this side. He remained locked in fierce battle with Natsume and Suzuka, while even his shikigami Kusabane only attacked Kakugyo Ki furiously.

Kurahashi Genji no longer bothered with the two yaksha attacking
