Ten Directions World!

"Hey, friend," Qing Chen looked at the Kamishiro Yunluo in the sky and suddenly asked, "The news that you've openly come to help me can't be kept secret. I'm probably considered public enemy number one in the Kamishiro Corporation, right? You killed Kamiyo Yunhe He and kidnapped Kamishiro Seisho. It's said that the Ten Eunuchs is the son of the Divine Era family head... If they find out, will you still be able to go back to Divine Era?"

Kamishiro Yunluo closed his eyes atop Shirayōsei's head, his white hunting robes fluttering in the surging air. "Of course I can go back. The Kamishiro Corporation only has eternal interests. Right now, someone needs me to balance Kamishiro Yunxiu in the Outer World. As long as they can't find a replacement, I'll be fine. Besides, there are people watching this body of mine. Unless a suitable opportunity arises, no one will touch me."

"What if?" Qing Chen asked curiously, "I mean, I've attracted too much hatred. What if they really can't tolerate you?"

A slight smile appeared on Kamishiro Yunluo's lips, "Friend, are you concerned about me?"

"I was just asking," Qing Chen said casually.

"Don't worry, if anyone tries to cause me trouble, I'll just hold a gun to my head and say I'm going to commit suicide. Naturally, someone who cares about this body will come out to stop me," said Kamishiro Yunluo in a very shameless manner, speaking in a very ordinary way.

However, Qing Chen knew that things were not that simple.

At this moment, Kamishiro Yunluo said with a smile, "Don't you know? I'm now the number one expert in the Kamishiro Corporation. Who can do anything to me?"

Qing Chen was taken aback.

It seems that's true. The previous number one expert was the demigod Shen Daichihachi.

Now that Shen Daichihachi is dead, wouldn't Kamishiro Yunluo, who was the number one person below the demigod in Kamishiro, become the number one expert of the Kamishiro Corporation?

After all this trouble, it turns out that not only did he become friends with a member of the Shindai, but the other party was actually the number one expert in the Shindai.

Moreover, and most importantly, this top expert traveled a long way to help with the fight... It's quite exciting to think about.

If the people of the Age of Gods knew this news, they would be furious.

Qing Chen suddenly asked, "Why did you come to help me? I mean, even if you needed the eyes of a superhuman, you could have easily come and harvest them quietly. With a great battle about to begin, no one will be specifically guarding the corpses. But you came so conspicuously, why?"

This high-profile behavior is like having someone come to support you when your friends are fighting.

However, Kamishiro Yunluo abruptly changed the subject, asking with a half-smile, "Wait, you don't actually think we're friends anymore, do you?"

Qing Chen pursed his lips, but said nothing.

The distance between the two of them suddenly increased again due to the presence of Kamishiro Yunluo.

At this moment, the smile on Kamishiro Yunluo's lips deepened. What is too easily obtained is not cherished, my friend.

However, just as Qing Chen said, what he had to endure this time was far more than Qing Chen had imagined.

But so what? I don't have many friends to begin with. If someone travels a long way to find a friend's body, should I dig it up or not?

This is a rather awkward question.

Kamishiro Yunluo laughed, "Let's deal with these two first. I'll leave after I gouge out their eyes. The Chen's Group Army is really going all out now. They've sent a Field Brigade as the vanguard, and another Field Division has just arrived. It seems someone is determined to kill you. I'm not going to stay here and wait to die with you."

As she spoke, Kamishiro Yunluo closed her eyes again.

On the battlefield, three shikigami— Mezu Raksha, Bone Woman, Oki-Hori— roamed around Chen Bing.

With sweeping, powerful strikes, the Jinwu Guard left deep, abyss-like marks on the stone walls beside the valley with their giant axes. The Mezu Raksha seemed unable to withstand the onslaught and retreated, the nine-ringed saber and the giant axe clashing together with a clanging sound.

Looking at it this way, the shikigami's strength doesn't seem to be that great.

Just as Chen Bing was urging the Jinwu Guard to advance and slash, the Bone Woman suddenly appeared behind the Jinwu Guard, her bone sword piercing the Jinwu Guard' ribs with surgical precision.

Jinwu Guard retaliated with a slash, but as the Bone Woman did a backflip, she lightly touched the axe handle with her toes and vanished into the distance.

The Jinwu Guard wanted to give chase, but Oki-Hori released a cloud of smoke, concealing the Bone Woman's whereabouts. The Mezu Raksha's nine-ringed blade had already slashed at his shoulder, the cut deep enough to see the bone.

The three shikigami worked together so smoothly that Qing Chen found it quite pleasing to the eye.

The bone sword in the Bone Woman's hand was like a thorn, always able to pierce the gaps where the bright armor was joined. The burly Jinwu Guard had all the strength but could not use it in front of the nimble Bone Woman assassin.

Although shikigami have their own consciousness, they are better at fighting alone. In battles of equal strength, shikigami are at a disadvantage when fighting alone. However, when shikigami cooperate like a rotating formation, the more shikigami there are, the more terrifying they become.

In this world, there are very few people who are good at multitasking. In the hands of Kamishiro Yunluo, the Onmyoji tradition seems to have seized the creation of heaven and earth. With the shikigami moving around, he can use various traps and cover to the fullest extent.

Each shikigami's fighting moves are incredibly exquisite.

In just a few minutes, the Jinwu Guard was killed, and half of his bright armor was shattered.

Chen Bing gritted his teeth; he feared that all the paintings he had accumulated over the past year would be lost here today.

He no longer had the composure he had before, but instead took all the remaining paintings out of the bamboo basket in one go, intending to crush them all!

But just then, he reached out to touch it, only to find nothing beside him.

Chen Bing turned his head and saw a piece of soil and gravel shaped like a palm lifting up the bamboo basket and fleeing into the distance.

"Thief!" Chen Bing was immediately alarmed.

After Zard was injured, he lay listlessly on the ground, as if he had fainted.

But this guy didn't faint. Instead, he squinted and continued to pretend to be unconscious, secretly manipulating the sand to get closer while the Chen family expert was fighting the shikigami.

Chen Bing was going to chase after the bamboo basket.

But suddenly his feet sank, and the sand on the ground turned into a giant hand, firmly holding him in its grasp.

Chen Bing lifted her foot to chase after the bamboo basket, but was caught off guard by this sudden sneak attack!

Zard chuckled from afar, "Three A-rank shikigami, plus me, four A-ranks against one of you, you deserve to die. You dared to burn down my boss's Purple Orchid Star, you deserve it!"

This sentence structure is clearly what Chen Bing herself just said, and now Zard has sent it back verbatim.

Qing Chen was taken aback; he hadn't expected this guy to hold a grudge.

His entire arm was glazed from the fire, yet he still couldn't resist trying to take advantage of the situation verbally.

The next moment, the Bone Woman and the Mezu Raksha suddenly broke free from the Jinwu Guard's slashes and turned to rush towards Chen Bing.

But then the Bone Woman's bone sword pierced straight into Chen Bing's neck, and she greedily sucked up the spilled blood.

Qing Chen shook his head. This Chen Bing was like a bookworm, far inferior to Kamiyo Yunhe's fighting instincts.

This may be the difference between a master who climbs up from the bottom and a master in a greenhouse.

Kamiyo Yunhe's advancement was the result of countless battles, while Chen Bing cultivated and painted in the city, with the Purple Orchid Star given to her by Chen Yu in her mouth, and her cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds.

However, those who haven't truly fought in countless battles, even if they possess a high level of skill on the battlefield, will still expose their weaknesses when facing opponents of the same level.

Of course, the gap in power level still exists like a chasm between cultivators.

Grade A is Grade A.

B-Class is B-Class.

To fight against opponents of higher levels, one would have to succeed in sneak attacks time and time again, like the Kamiyo Yunhe.

Even though Qing Chen was extremely strong overall, he was helpless against that fire-type Awakened. If he were an A-level, he would have been extinguished by a single breath of cloud, but he was still at B-Class, and he was just a hair's breadth away from death.

For example, when facing Chen Bing, even if he knows that the weakness is Chen Bing himself, the Chen family cultivators are very similar to Onmyoji, both of whom are physically weak, but even if you know that, you still can't bypass the figures in the paintings to kill him.

Right now.

Shirayōsei lowered his head and Kamishiro Yunluo land on the ground. This expert from the Divine Era skillfully gouged out Chen Bing's eyes. He looked at Qing Chen and asked, "Is this corpse still of any use?"

"Yes," Qing Chen. He was going to offer a sacrifice to the Puppet Master. The corpse of an A-level expert was enough to add another string to the Puppet Master.

He can now control three people at the same time. If he were to sacrifice these two A-level individuals, he would probably be able to control four people directly.

The previous owner of the Puppet Master was at his peak, controlling 18 people and sweeping across the entire wilderness. Qing Chen seems to be slowly catching up to that level.

Unfortunately, if he were to reach rank A now, he could easily spare Chen Bing and the fire-type Awakened one's lives and manipulate them to fight their way out.

On the other side, Yang Yang worked with Hyakume-ki to suppress the fire element Awakened.

Qing Chen turned around and stared intently. Back then, even when facing Xu Linsen Kamishiro Yunluo was unwilling to easily summon the Hyakume-ki. Now was a good time to observe.

Meanwhile, Kamishiro Yunluo teased, "Don't be so serious. Are you observing Hyakume-ki's fighting style to better deal with me later?"

Qing Chen glanced at it. "I'm just curious about what makes this shikigami that you've been working so hard to collect so many eyes on so powerful. Let's not consider each other as rivals for now."

Kamishiro Yunluo laughed and said, "Actually, I am more fragile than ordinary A-rank beings, and this Hyakume-ki has collected more than half of the eyes and is about to break through the threshold of demigod."

"Huh? Isn't it only by collecting a hundred pairs of eyes that one can possess strength comparable to a demigod?" Qing Chen asked in confusion.

Kamishiro Yunluo smiled and shook his head, "If collecting the eyes of a hundred extraordinary beings is only enough to make one a bottom-tier demigod, then it's not worth my fuss. Watch closely."

Upon seeing Chen Bing's death, the fire-elemental Awakened instinctively cursed "useless" in his mind, then turned to flee...

However, it was too late to run away at that point.

But then he saw the gigantic, white-clad, Hyakume-ki blocking his path like a ghost. Its speed was still between A-rank and demigod, and it could even leave a blur in the naked eye.

The next moment, the Hyakume-ki's sleeves fluttered, revealing the sixty-three pairs of eyeballs on his two arms.

Each pair of eyes looked in a different direction, each with its own thoughts, each exceptionally agile, as if when Kamishiro Yunluo handed the eyes to Hyakume-ki, he also entrusted it with the souls of those dead masters!

In an instant, the eyes that were originally looking in different directions turned around at the same time, staring intently at the fire element Awakened!

Blood-red tears streamed from each of those eyes simultaneously, as if dozens of people were weeping blood together.

Kamishiro Yunluo said softly, "The Ten Directions World."

At this moment, Qing Chen was shocked to see the fire element Awakened in front of Hyakume-ki being forcibly separated from his elemental state.

Immediately afterwards, the body of this fire element Awakened seemed to be displaced, as if two worlds had crossed over him. His upper body shifted to the right by a full five centimeters, his neck shifted to the left by five centimeters, and his whole body was inexplicably divided into several parts by space.

The person who was originally whole has now been forcibly separated.

This eerie feeling is enough to send chills down your spine!

The body of the Awakened was like a Lego toy that had been maliciously misassembled, twisted and bloody.

Meanwhile, a rumbling sound of collapse echoed from the mountainside behind the Awakened.

The strange "Hyakume-ki Ten Directions World" power of Hyakume-ki actually passed through the Awakened's body and even acted on the stone wall, causing the stone wall to displace and collapse!

With a loud crash, huge boulders fell from the stone wall to the ground, their edges bearing smooth and neat cut marks.

Qing Chen silently watched this scene. Was this the ability to split space? Even an A-rank Hyakume-ki?

He glanced at Kamishiro Yunluo: "Has anyone ever collected a hundred pairs of eyes before?"

Kamishiro Yunluo shook his head with a smile, "Of course not. When you're almost there, you'll become the enemy of the whole world. Nobody wants you to have fighting power close to that of a god, and the gods don't want that either. So, the previous master of Hyakume-ki was killed by a group of people when he had collected eighty-three pairs. Shen Daichihachi was among those who did it. This ancestor didn't want anyone to threaten his position."

Qing Chen shook his head. "The Divine Era is truly adept at internal strife."

Kamishiro Yunluo chuckled and retorted, "And the Kei clan? The Shadow Struggle that everyone marveled at, aren't they now a complete mess?"

Qing Chen was speechless. Indeed, the internal strife within the Qing Clan was now more severe than that of the Divine Era.

He waited until Kamishiro Yunluo gouged out his eyes, then casually offered Puppet Master as a sacrifice, and the two of them each got what they wanted.

"What are your plans next?" Qing Chen asked.

"Of course we're running away," said Kamishiro Yunluo with a laugh. "If we don't leave now, we won't be able to escape once Chen Yu and Li Bingxi arrive."

With that, he stepped back onto Shirayōsei's head and flew into the sky. "Remember, you owe me a drink. When we no longer have enemies and don't need to be so sober, let's sit down and drink that drink together."

The Shirayōsei's beard, hair, and horns were all snow-white, perfectly complementing the white hunting robes worn by the Onmyoji.

The young Onmyoji traveled a long way to help, then left just as quickly.

Extremely elegant.

This friend from afar is like a character living in a poem.

Qing Chen watched as the other person ascended into the sky.

Just then, a Flying Goddess descended from the distant sky, her colorful ribbons fluttering in the air.

Wherever the Goddess, seemingly flying out of the Dunhuang murals, passed, flowers fluttered and silk ribbons danced, a rain of flowers fell along the Silk Road, the pipa played in reverse, and music played softly and silently.

Its movements appear slow, but its speed is extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, she had arrived in front of Kamishiro Yunluo. But when the Goddess flicked her finger, the sound of the pipa suddenly rang out, and Shirayōsei's huge body... shattered inch by inch!

That is one of the gods and Buddhas in Chen Yu's painting, a Gandharva!

The dashing figure of Kamishiro Yunluo vanished, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood before falling downwards.

Fortunately, Oki-Hori materialized in time and caught him in mid-air.

Qing Chen's heart skipped a beat. The power of Chen Yu's painting was so terrifying that the Goddess had only played the pipa once, yet it shattered Shirayōsei!

Even if Shirayōsei is a shikigami ranked very low, she shouldn't be this fragile!

He wanted to rush up the valley to rescue the people, but Kamishiro Yunluo shouted angrily, "I'm fine, run!"

The Goddess swooped down to pursue, while the Kamishiro Yunluo -Hyakume-ki, Bone Woman, and Mezu Raksha all fought back fiercely, trying to buy their Onmyoji a chance to escape!

Qing Chen could no longer care about anything else. He picked up Shadow and turned around to run for his life with Zard and the others. The demigod had arrived, and any resistance at this point would be futile!

It's no use!

Heading south, through hills and low mountains, through valleys and streams, Zard blocked any obstacles he encountered with earthen walls, showing no interest in fighting.

The soldiers, scattered across the mountains and plains, seemed to have gone mad as they gathered here after receiving the order.

Everyone's spirits gradually plummeted.

Until they finally crossed a mountain and saw the magnificent and towering tree in the distance.

No matter how many times Qing Chen sees it, he will feel a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, even if someone says that it is the Tree of Origin of the World, he will believe it.

However, when they crossed the mountain, Qing Chen was filled with despair.

Just then, a young man and an old man were playing chess in the mountains, and the two of them seemed to merge with the world, as if they had become one with it.

Demigod!

Chen Yu, Li Bingxi!

The enemy used soldiers to drive away and exhaust Qing Chen and the others, forcibly driving them here, as if Qing Chen and the others were running frantically to find these two demigods.

Chen Yu laughed and said, "The people from the Northern Age of Gods think they can just run away after taking advantage of you? I think they're oversimplifying things. I'm curious how you guys became friends. You should be people who would fight to the death the moment you meet, but you've somehow become friends. I underestimated the strength of his Hyakume-ki Shikigami because he managed to escape this time. But he's returned to the Age of Gods severely injured, so he probably won't live much longer."

Qing Chen stared at the two demigods with a livid face, without saying a word.

After leaving City No. 10, it seems like there are dead ends everywhere.

The Qing Clan Group, the Chen's Group Army, various extraordinary individuals, and two demigods personally arrived.

It was as if everyone in the world wanted to kill him.

All power in this world has weight; when fate bestows a gift, it has already secretly marked the price.

What the shadow wants to give him may require him to gamble with his life.

On the hilltop, Qing Chen could see soldiers gathering in the distance. Even without a demigod blocking his way, he couldn't escape.

Li Bingxi looked at the shadow behind Qing Chen with great interest. "Is this the true face of the Qing family's shadow? There are probably not many people in this world who have seen his true face... But it doesn't matter anymore. People don't need to remember the appearance of a dead person. Boy, and you too, today you will pay off your master's debt."

Qing Chen calmly said, "Go to hell."

Li Bingxi- hee paused for a moment, his face darkening.

Qing Chen was already prepared to go all out; even if he died here, he was determined to get something out of these two demigods.

Just as he was about to fight desperately, he suddenly heard someone yawn behind him.

"I had a good dream. I dreamt that I killed that little brat Chen Yu and Li Bingxi."

The shadow on Qing Chen's back said with a smile.

There will be another chapter before 11 PM.
