"Ah! Short-Lived Ghost is going to die! Ah! Short-Lived Ghost is going to die!"
Suddenly, the Dish Crow beside Murata, Short-Lived Ghost, beat its wings furiously and took flight!
Its eyes were filled with panic, and it screamed frantically.
"Ah!!!"
A dark figure suddenly appeared beside Murata. With a scream, the figure tore the Dish Crow's body apart with its claws!
Almost simultaneously, Su Chen grabbed Murata and rolled hard to the other side.
The two sides put distance between them again!
Only then did Su Chen finally see the uninvited visitor that had suddenly appeared.
He wore dark red clothes and had two ugly horns on his head. On the tongue inside his mouth was a large character meaning "cowardice."
Clutching his head with both hands and hunching his back, he wore a timid expression. "Ah! How terrifying!"
Upper Rank Four, Hantengu!
Su Chen's expression grew even graver. He had never expected the Butterfly Mansion to be so lively today. Two Upper Ranks had actually come at once!
Moreover, his own Dish Crow was dead too, so getting word out was absolutely impossible.
"Hehehe~, you have quite a powerful aura. In all my years, this is the first time I've felt such tremendous vitality!"
The two mouths over Gyokko's eyes stretched into exaggerated grins, as though he were praising him, yet also mocking him.
Meanwhile, Hantengu trembled as he slowly inched toward Su Chen.
He cried as he walked. "Aaah! Do I really have to get close to him? He's so scary!"
Murata was already scared senseless, his entire body terribly stiff. This was his first time seeing two Upper Rank demons, and there were only him and Su Chen here.
Just then, Su Chen's steady, powerful voice reached him. "Murata, your breathing is out of rhythm."
Murata froze.
