At that moment, a sense of crisis surged within him. Zhu Feng opened the car door and leaped out, rolling a few times in the grass by the roadside before steadying himself. Just then, a loud explosion echoed as the leaking car ignited due to sparks from the blown rear tire, turning the vehicle into a fireball, while Zhu Feng was just about to get up and leave.
A tall figure emerged from the flames before Zhu Feng's eyes, holding a machine gun. The young man's face was filled with surprise and disbelief. At that moment, Zhu Feng glared at him, the pain of losing his son flooding his heart, for this young man was his greatest enemy!
"Xiao Yefeng!" Zhu Feng ground his teeth and shouted, as if his voice had come from the depths of Nine Hells.
"Zhu Feng? Is it really you? But how did you gain this spiritual power?" Xiao Yefeng asked in confusion. Although he had known that the leader of this chaotic situation was Zhu Feng, seeing him in person still shocked him. It had only been a short time since Zhu Feng was an ordinary person; now he had leaped to become a powerful being in the True Spirit Realm, exuding a stable aura that did not seem to stem from any external force.
At that moment, upon seeing Xiao Yefeng, the vengeance for his son overshadowed Zhu Feng's mission. He got up and said, "Surprised? How could you people understand the suffering of us ordinary folks? You look down on us! My son, my only son, died at your hands! What wrong did he do? He wanted to join you; why did you have to kill him?"
Xiao Yefeng smiled slightly and replied, "Do you really know the truth? Perhaps you do but don't want to admit it! Your son died at the hands of his best friend, Yuan Xun. He was nothing more than Yuan Xun's tool. It's just unfortunate that your son's intelligence was lacking; he brought the wolf into his own home!"
Zhu Feng's face was already bleeding from cuts sustained during the jump. To calm himself, he gripped his cheeks tightly with both hands. His face was smeared with blood, making him look like a bloodthirsty monster. Yet he smiled sinisterly and said, "I don't care! I sold everything for power, including my beloved wife. Now I have nothing left; go pay my son back with your life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of ghostly blue fire shot out from Zhu Feng, transforming into a Shikigami wielding a short sword as it approached Xiao Yefeng. The sword danced through the air like water splashing everywhere, aiming directly for Xiao Yefeng's neck.
Xiao Yefeng's right hand flashed with Golden Cyan Qi as Symbol Bone erupted with runic power. With a wave of his hand, he sent the Shikigami's attack flying away. However, Zhu Feng gritted his teeth; Inspiration flickered around him as another Shikigami appeared behind Xiao Yefeng. The short sword slashed toward Xiao Yefeng's spine—if it struck true, it would sever his spinal cord and leave him crippled if not dead.
Just then, a youthful voice rang out with authority: "Who dares to harm my big brother! Do you think I, Zitong, am invisible?"
With a swift motion like a dragon emerging from water, the Demon Slaying Curse pierced through the Shikigami's chest. Zitong floated above Xiao Yefeng in full armor. Seeing Zitong appear made Zhu Feng unrelenting; he swiftly unleashed a Yellow Talisman filled with Auspicious Aura as if countless High Monks were chanting rebirth spells together. For the first time ever facing defeat, Zitong found himself forced back into Xiao Yefeng's Spirit Platform by this overwhelming Buddhist Chant.
Such a powerful Yellow Talisman not only suppressed Zitong but also caused both Shikigami to vanish beside Zhu Feng upon its invocation. Seeing that he had subdued Xiao Yefeng’s ghostly presence, Zhu Feng beckoned to retrieve the Yellow Talisman and counterattacked with two new Shikigami—one red and one blue—charging at Xiao Yefeng once again. However, Xiao Yefeng was already prepared; if you used Buddhism’s Yellow Talisman against my Zitong, then I will take your Shikigami!
With a hand gesture, he silently chanted "Heart Decision," and a wooden door materialized above Xiao Yefeng's head. Beneath the faint red glow, a dark blue vortex swirled like a whale sucking in water. Two Shikigami rushing towards Xiao Yefeng were suddenly caught by the Zhao Yin Gate. The light faded, and the two Shikigami, armed with short swords, struggled against the pull of the Zhao Yin Gate, but their bodies continued to inch closer to it.
At that moment, seeing his Shikigami about to be taken away, Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and stabbed his finger with a short knife, using his blood to coat his right arm. As he smeared the blood, a tattoo of a Geisha holding a paper fan appeared on his right arm. Once the blood was fully applied, the Geisha glowed brightly, and in the air appeared a Geisha dressed in a kimono, holding a paper fan, her pale face radiating an Azure Light.
As the paper fan opened and closed, the two Shikigami that had been pulled to the door by the Zhao Yin Gate were directly absorbed by it. On the pristine white fan appeared two Shikigami holding short swords. Witnessing this scene, Xiao Yefeng recalled a peculiar Onmyoji family from Wa Country.
This family held a high status in the realm of Yin Yang Masters of Wa Country, namely the Kiyuha Family that Li Ji had recently joined. The women of the Kiyuha Family were all Female Onmyoji and possessed innate Geisha Shikigami. The paper fan held by the Geisha could protect the Shikigami of Yin Onmyoji to the greatest extent; even when on the brink of death, they could forcibly retrieve them. However, this ability could only protect their husbands' Shikigami, which is why women from the Kiyuha Family were revered as virtuous helpers by Yin Yang Masters of Wa Country.
But according to his memories, this Geisha Shikigami was an innate companion Shikigami of Kiyuha Family women. How could it appear in the hands of Zhu Feng? Xiao Yefeng had no idea that Zhu Feng had sold his beloved wife; his twisted love led him to absorb all of Chieko's powers. With help from those Zhu Feng allied with, he gained all of his wife's abilities. In Zhu Feng's words, he was Chieko, and Chieko was him; thus, this Shikigami naturally belonged to Zhu Feng.
For some reason, the Zhao Yin Gate could not exert its influence over this Geisha Shikigami. At that moment, the Geisha gazed at Xiao Yefeng and Zhao Yin Gate but ultimately focused her attention on Zhu Feng. Her eyes were filled with endless tenderness, akin to how a wife looks at her husband. At that moment, Zhu Feng also exclaimed: "Chieko, are you protecting me again? Kill him! He killed our son!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the paper fan in the Geisha's hand transformed into an elongated sword with a hooked end. Her pale complexion became suffused with Azure Light as fierce energy surged forth, causing Xiao Yefeng's clothes to flutter as she struck directly at him.
In that instant when the Geisha Shikigami attacked, Xiao Yefeng was already prepared. It would be foolish to pretend otherwise after everything that had happened! He quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out two Yellow Talismans. With a hand gesture, he sent them flying; Thunderfire erupted into countless attacks that intercepted the Geisha's assault. Just as Xiao Yefeng was ready to capture the king by seizing the thief.
The Geisha suddenly shed her outer kimono and flung it towards the endless Thunderfire. The outer garment transformed into a flurry of ninja shurikens that pierced through Thunderfire. Two shurikens struck down Xiao Yefeng's Yellow Talismans while three others flew in a triangular formation straight for Xiao Yefeng's face.
Xiao Yefeng remained unfazed; he grabbed at his waist where four or five yellow Flying Needles shot forth through the shurikens created from the Geisha's clothing towards her and Zhu Feng—he could play darts too!
At this moment, three shurikens were hurtling toward Xiao Yefeng's face when just before they struck him and marred his appearance, a Bright Silver Spear wrapped in talismans appeared before him. The spearhead transformed into a shield as it clashed against them with ringing sounds; all three shurikens were blocked by its shadow—Zitong had come through! These shurikens were made from Geisha’s clothing and thus composed of Yin Qi; Zitong’s spear was even more powerful!
With one crisis resolved for Xiao Yefeng, on another front, his five Flying Needles had already launched toward Zhu Feng and the Geisha. The Geisha Shikigami wielded her strange long sword to deflect three of the Flying Needles; however, Zhu Feng suffered greatly. Though he had absorbed powers from his wife and unknown sources after being an ordinary person, fighting remained an arduous task for him.
As the Flying Needle was about to strike him, Zhu Feng could only choose to retreat. However, the Flying Needle could not be shaken off so easily. Just as it was about to reach him, the Geisha Shikigami in the air suddenly made a bold move, disregarding her own safety, and lunged in front of Zhu Feng to block the two yellow Flying Needles with her body. Yet at that moment, instead of piercing through as expected, the Flying Needles became embedded in the Geisha's form.
Both the Geisha and Zhu Feng were taken aback by this turn of events. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng pointed his sword and shouted, "Explode!"
With a thunderous boom, the two yellow Flying Needles detonated within the Geisha's body. These were no ordinary needles; they were Flying Needles wrapped with talismans, specifically prepared as a lethal strike against Ghost Bodies. If the Ghost Body mistakenly believed that the Flying Needles could not harm it and let its guard down, such a situation would arise. Xiao Yefeng had already noticed the tension between the Geisha and Zhu Feng, so he gambled on the Geisha stepping in to protect Zhu Feng from harm, and indeed, that was exactly what happened.
As the eerie energy dissipated, the aura of the Geisha Shikigami faded away. A faint Azure Light emanated from her abdomen and collarbone, clearly preventing the eerie energy from automatically repairing her body. The Geisha's figure gradually began to vanish; she was clearly unable to sustain herself any longer. Xiao Yefeng's confidence had paid off; with one decisive blow, he had eliminated the troublesome Kiyuha Family's Geisha Shikigami. This battle would surely become a textbook example of combat.
Watching the Geisha slowly fade away beside him, Zhu Feng was filled with sorrowful tears. In the end, he could not stop her departure. The Geisha left behind a paper fan before disappearing completely, and with her went the tattoo of the Geisha on Zhu Feng's arm, marking the end of her existence.
Without the Geisha Shikigami, Zhu Feng wasted no time. He drew out the knife he had just used and, under Xiao Yefeng's bewildered gaze, he severed his own wrist. Xiao Yefeng was momentarily stunned; since he was five years old, he had faced opponents of all ages and genders who fought desperately in their final moments. Yet this was the first time he had witnessed someone choose to commit suicide by cutting their wrist!
Could it be that the disappearance of the Geisha Shikigami drove this man to such an act of devotion? With Xiao Yefeng's years of medical experience, he knew that Zhu Feng's self-inflicted wound left no chance for rescue. Even with a hospital nearby, there would be no hope for recovery as he could see bone protruding from his limp hand.
