Truth is everywhere within range

The black light was not a real light, but a torrent composed of countless arms made of black shadows. Those arms were staggered and rushing towards Qiao Qiao at an extremely high speed.

Around the coffin, a certain stress reaction immediately occurred.

Qiao Qiao felt as if he had suddenly hit an extremely solid wall. The wall suddenly pushed Qiao Qiao away. When he came to his senses, he was already one kilometer away from the coffin.

As for the direction formed by the hand of shadow, it was twisted by some incredible force and shot in a completely different direction.

"who?"

Qiao Qiao looked in the direction of the attacker.

There was a woman standing there.

The navy blue kimono has a red edge on the cuffs, and there are dots of maple leaves on the hem of the kimono.

She has long black hair in a standard Jifa style, her skin is like cream, her red lips are lightly parted, and there are two small, white horns on her forehead.

The woman was slightly surprised when she saw Qiao Qiao's appearance, but then she waved her slender right hand.

Boom boom boom boom——

Countless black shadow hands emerged from her feet and headed towards Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao instinctively sensed something was wrong and immediately flew away from the coffin.

"Who is this guy?"

Qiao Qiao asked at the same time.

".I didn't expect that she was actually in hell."

Ii Masaharu was slightly surprised. Through Qiao Qiao's field of vision, he clearly saw the woman's appearance.

"Ghost girl, Momiji!"

Kitashirakawa Rika was also a little stunned when she heard this.

"Could this be the ghost clan that the spiritual master fell into?"

She was reading classics in the Araksuri Palace of Ise Shrine and read rumors about the ghost girl Momiji.

She awakened her spiritual power when she was born. According to nearby temples and subsequent achievements, she was gifted by the demon king on the sixth day of Buddhism, who transformed into the Heaven of Freedom. She was born with extremely strong inspiration. With a cry, she can Cause the resentful spirits within ten miles to disperse.

Hongye was self-taught and created a series of spiritual exorcisms on her own. However, as a peace-loving woman, she did not spread the word but stayed quietly in her hometown.

Later, Hongye married Minamoto no Sueki and became his concubine, blessing the Minamoto family with prosperity.

However, no matter how powerful the spirit slayer is, he is still a human being.

Momiji fell in love with Minamoto no Sueki, but was blocked by his wife. After some entanglements, Minamoto Sueki's first wife fell ill and died. In this name, his son expelled Momiji and exiled her to Togakushi.

The unwilling Hongye took refuge with the Taira nobles and raised an army to cause rebellion.

However, in the end, Hongye was defeated and seriously injured, she chose to become a ghost. This was the last record about her in the classics of the Soul Exorcist Association.

Of course, during the Warring States Period a hundred years after Momiji was suppressed, some rumors about her surfaced. That was Oda Nobunaga, who claimed to be the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King". Some people said that he was the reincarnation of Momiji herself, so he hated Buddhism. Some people say that he was bewitched by Hongye and relied on the power of Hongye to rise, so he died in the Incident at Honnoji Temple.

In short, the apparent legend about red leaves ends here.

Whether she turned into a ghost or died, the records of various major shrines and temples have different opinions.

Now it seems that she has indeed become a ghost.

Since the red leaves are all here, it means that this coffin is indeed very important.

"The spirit-killing technique that Hongye mastered during his lifetime was derived from the gift of the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. The Sixth Heaven, also known as the Self-Transformation Heaven, is good at disturbing the body and mind, obstructing good practices, and destroying successful events."

Ii Masaharu explained to Qiao Qiao while checking the association's records.

"What the Sixth Heaven Demon King likes most is to seduce others to break their precepts, confuse people's hearts, and stir up trouble is what he is best at. Therefore, Hongye is good at twisting things and spiritual attacks."

The hand of shadow is getting faster and faster, and it keeps branching out, gradually covering Qiao Qiao's retreat.

Qiao Qiao didn't have much time to think, so he rushed directly towards Hongye.

Bang——

His speed immediately surpassed the sound barrier, and his entire body fell into the hands of the dark shadow.

Pain, sadness, despair, regret, jealousy, anger, fear, all kinds of emotions emanated from these shadow hands. One hand tried to grab Qiao Qiao's ankle, but Qiao Qiao's speed was too fast.

Snapped--

The arm immediately turned into a ball of thick mucus and exploded.

Sizzling——

The hand of shadow came into contact with Qiao Qiao's Hellbound armor and immediately began to corrode the surface, causing protrusions like human blood vessels and veins to appear on Qiao Qiao's body.

[Warning, traces of intrusion detected! 】

On one side of Qiao Qiao's field of vision, a red light lit up.

"Wait a minute, can the red leaves erode the Limbo armor?"

Professor Taketori looked at the state of Qiao Qiao's armor and was a little surprised.

"Hongye may have used his talents and abilities improved after becoming a ghost to do this, but don't worry."

Ii Masaharu was not in a hurry, watching the entanglement between Qiao Qiao and Hongye.

Qiao Qiao's speed suddenly slowed down a lot, and more and more shadow hands took the opportunity to rush towards him and restrain him.

"So why do ghosts like this kind of bondage and restraint play?"

The armor all over Qiao Qiao's body was filled with blood vessels, and the structure of flesh and blood appeared on the metal, giving people a sense of distortion and dislocation.

Yes, this is Hongye's [distortion] ability. It is not a simple erosion, but an operation that "distorts" the Hellbound armor on Qiao Qiao's body into flesh and blood.

In this case, even if Qiao Qiao had extremely strong defense, it would be difficult to stop Hongye's attack.

only.

Qiao Qiao's spiritual power was released.

The anti-Einstein reality augmentation anchor is on overdrive.

The Einstein Index, which had dropped a lot because he was far away from the coffin, suddenly skyrocketed.

In the blink of an eye, it had exceeded three hundred.

In this case, Qiao Qiao moved forward and rushed forward.

Bang——

Qiao Qiao, who had gradually come to a standstill before, accelerated again.

Everything slows down.

Only Qiao Qiao was moving forward.

The traces of blood vessels on his body solidified and fell off. For a moment, Qiao Qiao seemed to be reborn from the ashes. He pulled out the long knife in his hand.

A blue-white electric light appeared on the surface of the nearly three-meter-long Spiritual Equipment and Budu Yuhun Blade.

I saw an afterimage of thunder and lightning dragged out of the void.

The dazzling light eclipsed the blood-coagulated sky. All the negative emotions were purified and dispelled by the thunder. In an instant, Qiao Qiao was in front of Hongye.

Qiao Qiao slashed down with his sword and hit Hongye, easily splitting her in two.

However, the beheaded Hong Ye smiled sweetly and suddenly turned into maple leaves all over the sky.

Qiao Qiao turned around and saw a beauty in kimono standing in the sky not far away.

She didn't pay much attention to Qiao Qiao, but flew directly towards the coffin.

Hong Ye’s goal is also this coffin!
