Wuwuwu!
A chilling wail echoed from the seal that Sakai Tomokazu had pulled from the Yomi Box, and a sinister aura began to emanate from it, gradually enveloping the two of them. One by one, fierce and malevolent Evil Spirits emerged from the seal. These Vengeful Spirits were all wicked souls who had met tragic ends for various reasons and were denied Reincarnation, their endless resentment amplifying their terrifying presence.
After being trapped in the Yomi Box for an unknown duration, at this moment, the Ghost Body had fully solidified. Those with weak minds might have already been terrified to the point of collapse under the recent wailing.
"Kill~"
"Tragic~"
"Hate!"
These solidified Vengeful Spirits circled around Xiao Yefeng and Sakai Tomokazu. At that moment, Sakai Tomokazu gritted his teeth and bit his fingertip, letting blood drip onto the seal. He then smeared it onto his staff, embedding the ghostly mark into it, causing countless Vengeful Spirits and Evil Spirits to surge into the elongated staff.
In an instant, ghostly faces of Vengeful Spirits appeared on the nearly two-meter-long staff, densely packed with ghastly visages that seemed to writhe and shout, their chilling wails deafening.
Meanwhile, the battle between Gu Huo Niao and Zitong was reaching its climax, yet neither had made an appearance; they remained locked in a chaotic clash within a swirl of Nether Energy.
Just at that moment, as Xiao Yefeng turned back, he saw Sakai Tomokazu gripping the Ghost Staff, surrounded by Eerie Energy, gazing at him with a ghastly smile. "Do you know what this is? This is the power of Vengeful Spirits from the Nine Hells. Gu Huo Niao is merely cannon fodder in my hands now; with this power, I am invincible!"
At that moment, memories surged through Xiao Yefeng's mind like a rapid stream. Countless ancestral memories flashed before him until he finally recalled this scene. The Rotation Technique was known in Wa Country as the Breath of the Undead and was considered a forbidden technique in Huaxia. The so-called Netherworld referred to the Eighteen Layers of Hell, each layer housing different spirits based on their sins. The spirits filled with resentment were clearly those of wicked individuals.
However, without undergoing Reincarnation, there was a chance for these spirits to be reborn. The Rotation Technique involved signing a contract with one of these malevolent spirits from the Netherworld, using one's own body as a medium to bring them back to the mortal realm. Without exception, these spirits were all heinous criminals; thus, Xiao Yefeng was inevitably facing one of them.
"Hahaha! How many years has it been? I've had enough of the air in Hell of Blades!"
"Senior, please kill this Geomancer; otherwise, your appearance will surely be discovered!" Sakai Tomokazu muttered to himself, though his tone clearly indicated a conversation between them.
At that moment, Sakai Tomokazu pointed his Ghost Staff at Xiao Yefeng and said, "Are you one of the Four Great Gate Gods of the Underworld? Zhao Yin Gate Master? Tsk tsk tsk! How is it that each generation is worse than the last? The last guy who caught me was at his peak; how come you’re only at True Spirit Realm?"
"Enough of the nonsense, return where you came from! Otherwise, don't blame me for sending your soul into oblivion, leaving you with no chance of reincarnation!" Although Xiao Yefeng felt a bit intimidated by the aura emanating from Sakai Tomokazu, he knew that as the representative of the Lord of the Underworld, this guy was clearly an escaped convict. He couldn't afford to lose in terms of morale!
"Oh! Your spirit is commendable, but unfortunately, it lacks the corresponding strength!" With that, Sakai swung his staff, and an endless wail of ghosts reverberated, making Xiao Yefeng's ears feel numb. Unable to match his strength directly, he had to rely on skill. The edge of his sword grazed the Ghost Staff as he deflected the force of the blow. Afterward, Xiao Yefeng felt a surge of blood energy rising within him and began to circulate the Carefree Vitality Technique to gradually suppress it.
At that moment, the Zhao Yin Gate finally reacted. An angry voice echoed from within: "Who dares to escape from prison! Do you not know that this act is a grave sin that leads to the depths?"
"Judge? Unfortunately for you, I am in the realm of the living. No matter how powerful you are in Yin Si, you cannot interfere with matters in the human world!" At this point, Sakai Tomokazu frowned, clearly feeling some fear. However, knowing that he had a living body to offer as a sacrifice and that its owner was protected by the sun god while still alive gave him some confidence. Nevertheless, his tone was no longer so arrogant.
The Yin Gate remained silent for a long time. Just as Sakai was about to turn and attack Xiao Yefeng again, a beam of eerie blue light filled with Righteousness suddenly burst forth from within the Yin Gate. The light shot towards Sakai like a powerful crossbow piercing through clouds. In an instant, the heavy Eerie Energy surrounding him was drawn back into the Zhao Yin Gate. The Nether Energy that had just disregarded the Zhao Yin Gate now lost all effect.
"Judge, do you dare violate the covenant of the Three Realms? Are you not afraid of hastening the collapse of Qi in the human realm?" As Eerie Energy was absorbed away, Sakai knelt on one knee and looked at Zhao Yin Gate.
"Destiny cannot be changed; neither of us can break this covenant. However, your appearance and my intervention—who can say it isn't destined?" With that, the blue beam surged again, completely enveloping Sakai Tomokazu beneath Zhao Yin Gate. Xiao Yefeng also lost control over Zhao Yin Gate and watched as it floated above Sakai's head.
However, just as Zhao Yin Gate absorbed Eerie Energy from Sakai Tomokazu, Xiao Yefeng received a transmission from that earlier voice: "Xiao Yefeng! Do not be surprised; I am one of Yin Si's people. As for who I am, I believe you have guessed it. Enough with the small talk; it's true I cannot interfere with matters in the human realm while he occupies a living body under protection from the sun god. Although I am one of Yin Si's people, I cannot casually take a living person's life. So everything is up to you! Can you send him back to Zhao Yin Gate?"
"Rest assured, Lord Cui; without those external forces, this person is nothing but a fleeting cloud in my eyes!" Xiao Yefeng replied.
"That's good! If you can resolve this issue, I will make an exception and grant you insight into humanity's future. You must take care; even if you lose ten thousand years' worth of vengeful energy, this fellow is not easy to deal with!" The Judge was clearly pleased that Xiao Yefeng recognized his identity; however, his warning was also implicit.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng felt quite emotional. There were many ghost kings in Yin Si; leaders of the Eighteen Layers of Hell were all ghost kings too. Yet only four could be called Judges. The one whom Evil Spirits feared most was none other than Cui Yu from the Yin Law Division! This man held dominion over the Book of Life and Death and wielded great authority as a Judge; who wouldn't give him face? Now he sought help from Xiao Yefeng—he felt both honored and overwhelmed.
As their conversation ended, the light above Zhao Yin Gate vanished. At that moment, Sakai Tomokazu stood up with his Ghost Staff in hand. The oppressive aura that had previously surged around him dissipated; even though he still exuded an intimidating presence capable of making Xiao Yefeng's blood surge with pressure, this otherworldly power had ultimately been taken away by Judge Cui. Nevertheless, Sakai's momentum still made Xiao Yefeng feel danger—especially given his current fury.
"Hahaha! In the end, Cui Yu, you still dare not kill me! Do you think stripping away my vengeful energy can prevent my return to the human realm? Do you truly believe this fellow can send me back to Yin Gate?" Sakai Tomokazu had completely lost himself and was now being manipulated by spirits from beyond.
"That's right; I intend to send you back to Yin Si!" Xiao Yefeng stepped forward with his sword raised.
At that moment, a fierce fire burned in Sakai Tomokazu's eyes. He suddenly turned to Xiao Yefeng, flames rising in his gaze as he disdainfully remarked, "You are not worthy of such words!"
"Worthiness is not something a lowly prisoner like you can judge!" With that single retort, Xiao Yefeng had completely ignited Sakai Tomokazu's fury. The spirit controlling Sakai Tomokazu was most sensitive about the topic of his imprisonment, and here was Xiao Yefeng, a mere junior, daring to mock him.
"Nine Nether Souls, disturb his mind!" With a command from Sakai Tomokazu, the Ghost Staff swept through the air, unleashing an endless tide of Vengeful Spirits and Evil Spirits that surged toward Xiao Yefeng. At that moment, Sakai Tomokazu's face paled slightly; after all, he had just expended so much vengeful energy and could hardly sustain such a powerful attack.
However, seeing Xiao Yefeng surrounded by Vengeful Spirits, Sakai Tomokazu couldn't help but break into a maniacal grin. After all, defeating someone like Xiao Yefeng would be a point of pride for him, even if it required such significant expenditure on his part.
Xiao Yefeng found himself encircled by the malevolent spirits. If it weren't for the Zhao Yin Gate and the Talisman swirling around him, he would have already been torn apart by these spirits. At this moment, aside from the Break Evil ability of the Black Sword, he relied on Zitong's Demon Slaying Curse to continuously eliminate the Vengeful Spirits. However, there were simply too many of them, and their strength was formidable. While Xiao Yefeng could defend himself adequately, breaking through this tidal wave of attacks proved to be quite challenging.
Just then, within the Spirit Platform, the spiral formation of the Spirit Group finally began to change. The crackling Arc seemed to sense the presence of Vengeful Spirits around Xiao Yefeng and burst forth with energy. Wherever the Arc struck, Vengeful Spirits disintegrated into ash.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yefeng finally realized that the Condemnation Arc was indeed a natural counter to such aberrant beings. What had once been an act of kindness had now become the key to breaking through his current predicament. With the Black Sword in one hand and the Condemnation Arc infused into its blade, Xiao Yefeng unleashed a devastating force that turned all Vengeful Spirits into dust.
Lightning is inherently a force of pure yang and serves as the greatest nemesis to ghosts; thus, the Condemnation Arc was an apocalyptic weapon against aberrations. Encountering it was indeed bad luck for Sakai Tomokazu.
With the power of the Condemnation Arc at his disposal, Xiao Yefeng seized this opportunity to weaken Sakai Tomokazu further. After all, eliminating even a few Vengeful Spirits would diminish his opponent's strength. Although not particularly skilled in swordsmanship, Xiao Yefeng adhered to one principle: speed is paramount. The Black Sword moved like crashing waves as countless sword strikes sliced through the surrounding Vengeful Spirits with continuous crackling sounds.
Empowered by the Condemnation Arc, Xiao Yefeng moved through the tide of Vengeful Spirits as if in an uninhabited realm. He wreaked havoc among them; wherever he pointed his sword or moved his body, Vengeful Spirits were instantly cleared away. The combined Break Evil powers of the Condemnation Arc and Peach Wood Sword shattered this seemingly insurmountable tide with overwhelming force.
