At that moment, Xiao Yefeng seized the opportunity as the Spirit Servant was devouring its prey. With the Black Sword in hand, he swept it towards the Spirit Servant's neck, aiming for the slender throat that was its vital core. The sword glimmered with a dual hue of azure and gold, streaking through the air like a shooting star.
"Useless! Spirit Servant, break for me!" Sakai Tomokazu shouted, his hands weaving intricate seals. In an instant, dozens of seals and a lengthy incantation erupted from him.
Just as Xiao Yefeng's Black Sword struck the face of the Spirit Servant, its eyes suddenly opened wide. Its arms twisted back, pushing down against the Black Sword, while its massive maw lunged down towards Xiao Yefeng.
"Boom!" The grotesque Spirit Servant's four-part mouth enveloped Xiao Yefeng. Mo Fei, who was engaged in battle with a Jonin, felt a chill run down his spine at this sight. He barely managed to deflect his Blade in time to avoid having his right arm severed by the Jonin.
"Wind!" Mo Fei shouted as he prepared to rush to support Xiao Yefeng. However, the Jonin would not allow him to escape; having just gained the upper hand, he was determined to prevent any interference. The close-quarters combat effectively blocked Mo Fei's path. Meanwhile, Zhao Gang was too preoccupied to assist; the only one free was Liu Entai, who lamented his lack of talismans and could do nothing but watch anxiously as Xiao Yefeng faced danger.
"Spirit Servant, consume him!" Sakai exclaimed, taken aback by how smoothly things were going. Seeing his advantage, he pressed on mercilessly.
At that moment, a sigh filled with righteousness echoed from the Spirit Servant. Waves of energy surged from its mouth as Xiao Yefeng declared, "Wretched beast, you shall find no peace in life or death; return to your doom!"
Suddenly, an eerie vortex formed around the Spirit Servant, pulling inward. The once protective Eerie Energy that shielded it from sunlight now turned into invisible blades that sliced through the Spirit Servant's form. The chilling vortex ultimately tore it apart, leaving only Xiao Yefeng standing amidst the chaos, sword in his right hand and Bagua Mirror in his left.
Above him floated the wooden Zhao Yin Gate. In that critical moment, Xiao Yefeng had summoned the Bagua Mirror for protection, akin to how one would use the Nine Spirit Ghost Refining Furnace against Yang Xing in a dream. With the Bagua Mirror shielding him, he managed to buy precious seconds for summoning Zhao Yin Gate. Once unleashed, countless spirits bowed before it; as a creature born of spirits, the Spirit Servant could not withstand its power.
"Damn it! It's Zhao Yin Gate!" Sakai Tomokazu exclaimed as he watched helplessly; there was no chance for the Spirit Servant to return now. Just then, Miyuki arrived on the scene—there was no time to waste. After glancing at Xiao Yefeng protected by the Bagua Mirror and then casting an angry look at Liu Entai's pale face, Sakai finally conceded defeat. He knew that upon returning home after such a disastrous failure, punishment from Abe-sama awaited him.
However, when weighing punishment against death, Sakai understood which was more pressing. "We must go!" This thought raced through Sakai's mind as he glanced at the two Jonin still locked in fierce combat. "Inoue! Tanaka! I’m counting on you!"
Upon hearing Sakai's words, the two Jonin seemed invigorated as their strength surged forth. They simultaneously pushed back Zhao Gang and Mo Fei. After forcing them back, they chose not to retreat with Sakai; instead, they pressed on and pressed a peculiar button located at their throats. Instantly visible to all eyes, two azure buttons transformed into white ones—no one noticed that these buttons were mere fakes.
Inside the button, there was a thin needle. When pressed in a specific position, it could inject the blue liquid inside into the body. At that moment, after two drops of liquid were injected into the two Jonin, their blades already bore the power of the warriors from Wa Country. After absorbing this mysterious liquid, their momentum surged dramatically, as if they were on a roller coaster.
In the blink of an eye, their strength reached the peak level of Inner Force and continued to rise. The change was not limited to their momentum; their physiques transformed as well. The tight-fitting samurai armor was stretched by their bulging muscles. The wrists of both Jonin were now as thick as bowls, with muscles that resembled stone, veins and tendons bulging prominently.
A fierce face was marked by pronounced muscle lines. Have you ever seen someone with muscle masses on their face? Indeed, this was the first time everyone witnessed such a sight. Moreover, Xiao Yefeng noticed that the skin of one man, referred to as Inoue by Sakai, was covered in dense scales resembling those of a crocodile. The other man’s skin was even more peculiar, with numerous yellowish-black spots that looked like eyes scattered across his surface.
Xiao Yefeng was all too familiar with this situation; it was Gene Serum! Given how quickly these two had transformed, it was likely a modified version of the serum meant for desperate situations.
"Heart, this is Gene Serum!"
"You all understand; they are going all out!"
The voices of Liu Entai and Xiao Yefeng echoed one after another. Zhao Gang, Miyuki, and Mo Fei had already engaged in combat, cautiously watching the two mutated ninjas. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng suddenly sensed something amiss; if these two ninjas were going all out, wouldn’t that mean allowing Sakai to escape first?
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yefeng turned around immediately. However, Sakai remained standing in place, seemingly unmoved. Yet his hollow eyes puzzled Xiao Yefeng. With a swift strike of his sword, Sakai's body transformed into a Yellow Talisman Paper and vanished!
As Xiao Yefeng scanned the surroundings, he found no trace of Sakai's departure. Grabbing the Yellow Talisman Paper, he wondered if Wa Country also possessed Substitution Talismans. Upon closer inspection, this talisman did not appear to be one he was familiar with; although it resembled a Substitution Talisman, it seemed to contain elements unique to Wa Country's talismans. Crushing the Yellow Talisman in his hand, Xiao Yefeng closed his eyes to carefully sense his surroundings.
Where was Sakai at this moment? Relying on the Substitution Talisman granted by Abe-sama—yes, in Wa Country it was also called a Substitution Talisman—though no one in Huaxia made them anymore, neither did Wa Country. It was said that using one meant losing one; thus, Substitution Talismans were extremely precious in Wa Country. Sakai Tomokazu had obtained Gu Huo Niao from Demon Tower and received one from the current head of the Abe family.
At this time, Xiao Yefeng's pressure on Sakai Tomokazu was immense; once Zhao Yin Gate opened for Yin Onmyoji, half of its power would be nullified—what could Yin Onmyoji do without using spirits for offense or defense?
In utter desperation, Sakai Tomokazu ordered the last two Jonin to inject the royal Gene Serum No. 3 in hopes that their sacrifice would allow him to escape. He had no choice but to confront Xiao Yefeng; Sakai Tomokazu had been severely restrained. The Gu Huo Niao that previously held an advantage against Liu Entai now shrank back inside him, afraid to move.
The reason was simple: the Shikigami within the Yokai Tower were all Evil Spirits wanted by Yin Si. The Zhao Yin Gate was a portal provided by Yin Si to the Geomancer, making it easier to capture these Evil Spirits. If any of these long-wanted Evil Spirits appeared within the activated range of the Zhao Yin Gate, Yin Si would certainly use it for reverse positioning, summoning the Yin Chai to capture them.
Moreover, the key point was that this Gu Huo Niao had previously killed four Yin Chai sent to capture it. Refusing to be captured by Yin Si was already a grave sin, and killing a Yin Chai was an act that would enrage the three realms. The moment Gu Huo Niao sensed the appearance of the Zhao Yin Gate, it didn't even dare to breathe.
At that moment, Sakai Tomokazu successfully drew everyone's attention with the help of two Jonin. Using a Substitution Talisman, he evaded Xiao Yefeng's pursuit and was now stealthily moving toward the sea with the aid of a specially made Concealment Talisman from Wa Country. Although he moved slowly, his speed was comparable to that of an ordinary person running. The Talisman was one of the most miraculous arts of Huaxia, and Wa Country had conducted thorough research on the Concealment Talisman.
Just then, Xiao Yefeng's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened as he looked toward an open space several meters away. He leaped down from the giant stone mountain, throwing his Black Sword like a dart toward the distance. The sound of fabric tearing echoed as his weapon sliced through clothing. Sakai, who was stealthily moving, had to quickly retreat to avoid Xiao Yefeng's Black Sword, which broke his concealment.
The sword cut through Sakai's Golden Belt, causing his clothes to fall apart instantly. However, at that moment, Sakai had reached the true edge of Taiyu Island and leaped off a ten-meter-high cliff into the shallow waters filled with reefs below. Xiao Yefeng arrived at the cliff's edge and looked down, unsure if it was Sakai's luck or skill; he saw Sakai swimming naked toward the deep sea.
Seeing this situation, if it were the old Xiao Yefeng, he would have pursued without hesitation. Sakai had jumped down in a panic without being crushed by the reefs below. The previous Xiao Yefeng wouldn't have been so reckless; now, however, due to some unknown genetic fusion between fish and his own genes, he could exert full strength underwater. With this thought in mind, Xiao Yefeng drew his Black Sword and prepared to jump down to chase after Sakai.
However, at that moment, trouble arose in the battle above. Xiao Yefeng heard a loud rumble behind him; Zhao Gang had exhausted his strength after continuous fighting and made a misstep. He was knocked down by Tian Yidao in Leopard form, falling several meters and temporarily losing his combat ability. Meanwhile, Liu Entai was barely regaining some strength while helping Mo Fei attract Inoue's attention.
The battle above was already precarious; Inoue in a berserk state could withstand blade attacks without fear, trading injuries blow for blow—if you hit me with a knife, I’ll return it with a punch. Mo Fei's dual blades were already showing cracks from the relentless assault, and crucially, Mo Fei had been forced back to the edge of a giant stone; falling six meters without preparation would surely result in injury.
As for Miyuki, she could only keep drawing Inoue's attacks without any chance to counter! Seeing this situation unfold, Xiao Yefeng had no choice but to give up on pursuing Sakai. However, he wasn't willing to let it end like this; picking up a sharp piece of slate nearby, he hurled it toward Sakai, who had swum far away. After throwing the stone, Xiao Yefeng turned back and climbed up through the crevices of the rocks beneath him with swift movements.
