Chapter 289: Meeting the Tribulation
As if the Tengu heard some funny joke, he suddenly opened his mouth and laughed: "Hahaha..."
"Akihiko, you are really arrogant. Have you forgotten how you were taught a lesson by us before?"
"With incompetent descendants like you, your ancestors should also be disgraced. Who would have thought that that descendant..."
Tengu was mid-sentence when he was sharply interrupted by Abe Akihiko.
"Shut up! I won't allow you to insult our ancestors!"
The folding fan in Abe Akihiko's hand is filled with demonic aura, but the demonic aura on the Tengu standing opposite him is obviously stronger.
Tengu sneered: "Haha! Are you going to use this fan left by 'him' to deal with us?"
"Joking... there must be a limit!"
The tengu suddenly roared angrily, and slapped the fan in his hand towards Abe Akihiko!
Abe Akihiko waved his folding fan to resist, and the two evil winds collided, entangled, and exploded again!
Under the power of the wind pressure, Abe Akihiko's feet were unsteady and he took three steps back.
On the other hand, the Tengu stood still and did not move at all.
Lin Zhen, who was hiding in the dark, frowned slightly. He had experienced the power of Abe Akihiko's folding fan. Although it was not very powerful, it was still a serious magical weapon.
According to Lin Zhen's observation, that folding fan should have special effects. Perhaps it can be combined with some "Onmyoji" techniques to show its true power.
Lin Zhen was not in a hurry to take action, because the monster that appeared so far was only one Tengu, and the other two monsters had not yet appeared.
Among the three known monsters, Rami is undoubtedly the most troublesome, so before it appears, Lin Zhen will not take action unless Abe Akihiko is in danger.
"The farce must be over, Akihiko!" Tengu put the fan back on his waist and held the handle of the Japanese sword with his right hand.
It leaned forward slightly, preparing to draw its sword.
Abe Akihiko frowned, his expression was angry, and he said in a serious tone: "This has never been a farce..."
"Don't underestimate my determination to protect this land, you bastard!"
Abe Akihiko roared angrily, threw the folding fan in his hand upwards into the sky, and at the same time quickly formed seals with his hands!
"All those who are facing the battle are arrayed in front!"
This is the "nine-character mantra" of the Japanese country, which originally originated from China.
It was only when it was copied and circulated that it was incorrectly translated into this version.
Although the mantra is mistranslated, the power of the "spiritual spirit" contained in it cannot be underestimated.
After finishing reciting the mantra, Abe Akihiko also formed the mudra and pointed towards the tengu on the opposite side!
In the sky, the folding fan rotated rapidly, filled with evil aura, and even vaguely formed the shadow of a snake with eight heads!
Not far away, Lin Zhen frowned slightly.
This snake figure with eight heads must be the legendary "Yama-no-Orochi" in Japanese legend.
However, according to Lin Zhen's understanding, this "Yama-no-Orochi" should be an evil existence in Japanese legends. If this move was performed by Tengu, Lin Zhen would not be surprised.
But it happened that it was used by Abe Akihiko.
Seeing Abe Akihiko summon the shadow of "Yama-no-Orochi", the Tengu laughed again: "Hahaha!"
"Akihiko, you're a poor guy who can only rely on outside help. You've really brought shame on your family!"
Even though he said this, Tengu's posture was unyielding.
Obviously, the phantom of "Yama-no-Orochi" still poses a certain threat to it.
"Go!" Abe Akihiko ignored the Tengu's taunt and shouted sharply!
In mid-air, the phantom of the "Yama-no-Orochi" suddenly moved toward the Tengu!
The Tengu roared angrily, and at the moment when the shadow of "Yama-no-Orochi" was about to arrive in front of it, he suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath!
The cold light shone, and the Tengu drew its sword so fast that even Lin Zhen, who had been watching the battle attentively, couldn't see its movements clearly!
The shadow of the sword flashed across the sky, and the shadow of the "Yamata no Orochi" suddenly exploded, turning into a purple demonic energy that filled the sky!
The Tengu kept moving, taking advantage of the situation to rush forward, sheathing the sword in an instant, and then drew the sword again and slashed at Abe Akihiko.
"Shua——"
A ray of sword light passed through Abe Akihiko's throat!
Lin Zhen frowned. He wanted to stop him, but the dog's movements were too fast. The most important thing is that Abe Akihiko did not dodge at all!
In Lin Zhen's view, although the Tengu was very fast, when it used its sword to break the shadow of the "Yama-no-Orochi", Abe Akihiko had every chance to dodge or launch other attacks.
how so?
However, the next moment, Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Abe Akihiko, whose throat was "slit", his whole body floated and turned into a ball of white mist, dissipating into the invisible...
The Tengu turned the sword with its backhand and sheathed it again. The sword technique it used was the famous "Iai Drawing Technique" of Japan.
The so-called "Iaido" is actually just a sword technique developed by the Japanese people to make sneak attacks easier.
In ancient times, when negotiating between two Japanese parties, they would sit and kneel. If they disagreed, they could directly use the "Iaijutsu" to draw a sword and kill the enemy.
This kind of knife technique can also be used in a standing state. It mainly uses the knife to be sheathed so that it is difficult for the opponent to visually detect the length of the knife, thereby gaining an advantage.
The Japanese people are very obsessed with the study of "Iaido", and have different "Iaido" for various types of swords.
As the saying goes, spirit is the key to everything. A simple action of drawing a sword, practiced thousands of times, can also exert amazing power.
This is the case with Tengu's "Iai Drawing Sword Technique".
At this moment, I saw its sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, but no trace of Abe Akihiko was found.
Tengu sneered coldly: "Akihiko, you are really hopeless. You can only use this kind of deception to cover up your embarrassment!"
"Stop hiding, I can smell your fear!"
At this moment, several miserable howls sounded in succession from the distant courtyard.
Lin Zhen's eyes were drawn towards him, and he saw only a shadow floating into the sky, which seemed to contain some scraps of paper...
The phantom floated to the Tengu and spun around a few times. A strange figure with a dog's head and a human body appeared in the sky filled with paper scraps.
"Inugami", Lin Zhen frowned slightly. It seemed that those scraps of paper were the "Shikigami" who entered the courtyard with Abe Akihiko before.
As a result, only the most troublesome one is left, which still hasn't shown up.
The Inugami bared its teeth ferociously and the tip of its nose was twitching, as if it was looking for the scent of Abe Akihiko.
It sniffed, then suddenly waved its right arm without warning, its claws like hooks, and created three blade-like lights and shadows!
The row of green bamboos on the right side of it must have been cut into several sections!
