Surrounded
"Waaah--"
The roar of the motorcycle engine echoed as it sped along the not-so-empty roads of Dongguo, but Feng Xue's mood was far from pleasant.
This time, he was being targeted by a group of troublesome people.
"Beep--"
A piercing horn sounded, Feng Xue immediately turned the car around, but under the influence of a strange force, the direction he turned was completely opposite to the direction he intended.
Although it avoided an oncoming dump truck traveling in the wrong direction, it crashed directly into a reinforced concrete wall.
"Damn! These Amanojaku aren't good at Combat Power, but they're really good at being disgusting! By the way, I've already activated my Hermit Authority, how did they catch up with me?"
Feng Xue climbed out of the rubble, grinning and muttering about the enemy. Although the impact of this level had almost no effect on him, who was protected by Body Protection Gang Qi and wearing iron armor, the occasional car accident or fall was still quite mentally taxing.
What's most disgusting is that these Amanojaku never confront him directly. They just follow him from a distance and throw various reverse curses at him sporadically. Every time he manages to catch a tail and turn around to fight back, all he can see is a pile of Momiji or a Ghostly Shadow that hasn't completely dissipated.
That's not even the worst part. The worst part about the Amanojaku is that they're not unique in number. Even if you manage to catch and kill one, more Amanojaku will keep popping up.
"These bastards have been hanging around like this, not even bothering to fight back, just being annoying. What are they trying to do?" Brushing the dust off her clothes, Feng Xue looked at the strange-looking passersby around her, reached out and pulled the motorcycle out of the rubble, but in her heart she began to wonder if she was missing a taunting skill to keep people from leaving.
Just as he was thinking this, [Arrow Protection] suddenly activated, and his thoughts began to run at high speed. Sharp lines of light drew trajectories of varying straightness and curves, reflecting in his mind.
"Poor and weak!"
With a flick of his yellow robe, the silk cloak whipped up dust, shattering the wind blades. At the same time, a bell rang out.
One by one, red dots appeared in Feng Xue's vision; the mark of evil had already been made at this moment.
However, Feng Xue did not immediately Teleportation to kill him. Instead, she stood quietly at a distance. The passersby who were whispering about Feng Xue's car accident seemed to have been switched on, and quickly spread out, making room for a space with a radius of more than 30 meters.
After several such battles, Feng Xue had come to appreciate the advantages of Hundred Tales's "spectator culture."
Not only can it limit the efforts of righteous people, but it can also expand influence, and when necessary, it can be used to escape by blending into the crowd.
However, after the onlookers had just cleared their viewing area as usual, they started moving again, this time stretching the viewing line even further.
The reason is simple: they have realized that a mere few dozen meters is not enough to safely observe the situation.
"Wow, quite the grand display! Don't tell me you sent the Amanojaku to harass me for so long just to assemble this lineup!"
Looking at the various Weird Tale in the sky, Feng Xue's lips curled up slightly. At the very top was Robe-wearing Old Man with Red Face, long nose, and wings sprouting from his ribs. Anyone familiar with the monster culture of the Eastern Kingdom would recognize this as the famous Great Tengu.
Beside him stood Karasu Tengu with bird-like beaks, White Wolf Tengu with a wolf's head, Fox Tengu with a large, fluffy tail, and even a tengu named Zun tengu who was over fifty meters tall, but whose only physical feature was his Son Tengu...
Various kinds of tengu occupied almost half of the sky, and even the weakest of them had the strength of an executive.
"Is this what they call the Tengu Council?" Feng Xue reached out and pulled out the Omni-Press Drive, looking at the dozen or so unique Tengu with a serious expression. Although Rinka had recently gone to the Kendo Club, as a fan of Weird Tale, Feng Xue still managed to obtain a lot of information about famous Weird Tale from the East through her Gu Poison Body.
This so-called Tengu Council is actually the Weird Tale group that now controls the entire political operation of the Eastern Kingdom.
"Since you know that, then you should understand that you cannot defeat us. Hand over your Companion Phantom, and I might spare your life."
Wearing high wooden clogs and holding a round fan, a High-Nosed Tengu with its nose pointing high to the sky loudly urged Feng Xue to surrender. Feng Xue narrowed her eyes, but her figure had already disappeared abruptly.
The Bell of Absolution has already marked all Weird Tale; at this moment, it can choose to appear behind any Weird Tale!
Although the Weird Tale of the Tengu lineage are very well-known in the Eastern Kingdom, Feng Xue was not actually very clear about their abilities. However, based on the idea that the more famous they were, the more powerful they must be, he appeared directly behind the Great Tengu.
Just moments before his hand reached for Abe no Hirakiri Ya, a strong sense of danger pierced his brain, and an incredibly sharp feeling transformed into a spear that pierced through his body.
No, that wasn't a piercing, but rather a warning signal given by the Arrow Protection.
This was the first time he had felt such a strong warning.
"They're here!"
Without any intention of continuing, Feng Xue twisted her body, and almost at the same time, a White Light, like a bolt of lightning in the night, brushed past Feng Xue's original position.
It was an arrow, plain and unadorned, not even Phantom Object, but Feng Xue knew very well that it could kill her!
His gaze shifted to the side, only to see a wolf-headed tengu staring sharply at him, bow drawn and arrow nocked. As he lost his chance to attack, the Great Tengu swung its fan at him.
A fierce wind, tinged with the murky blackness of dark clouds, swept in, and Feng Xue once again activated the ability of the Visage of Oath.
However, the moment he completed the Teleportation, the Arrow Protection was activated once again!
"Damn it, what kind of ability is this?"
Feng Xue flashed three times in a row, but each time she appeared behind another Weird Tale, she could feel the White Wolf Tengu locking onto her.
It was as if it could accurately predict Feng Xue's every Teleportation, providing just the right support for its companions.
"Then I'll start with you!"
Feng Xue's eyes, hidden behind her mask, turned icy cold, Blade of Suffocation was already close to the back of the White Wolf Tengu's neck in the next second.
But it was blocked!
It wasn't the White Wolf Tengu's ability, but rather a jet-black storm shield and armor woven from feathers.
Although there were no stacked buffs, the combined power of Feng Xue's double armor enhancements and the sharpness of the Blade of Suffocation failed to penetrate the defense. In that brief moment of hesitation, the Karasu Tengu wielding the Naginata was already right in front of her.
"Kuribo!"
With a loud shout, a card suddenly disappeared from Feng Xue's heart, and a dark green fur ball transformed into a barrier in front of him. As the attack of the Karasu Tengu was blocked, Feng Xue finally attached the Omni-Press Drive to his body.
"SCLASH S-Clash Driver"
"Here's a little 22nd Century toy shock for you!"
Feng Xue stepped onto the ground again, reached into the Rider System, took out a jelly bottle with Night Parade of a Hundred Demons Picture, and inserted it into the slot.
"MONSTER JELLY (Monster Jelly)"
Accompanied by a recognition sound effect, Feng Xue placed one hand on the lever, twisted her waist to the side, extended her left index finger towards the ground, struck a JoJo-esque pose, and said:
"Transform!"
