The Onmyoji Ling Ming's body swayed eerily, and his bow-drawing limbs also wobbled. He retreated step by step amidst the sword light, and he could no longer stand steadily.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, he fell backward and finally plunged into the huge pool of blood. Blood overflowed from it, flowing down the flesh clinging to the pool walls and spreading across the floor.
Five shadow warriors stood by the blood pool, their feet resting on the high edge, watching the blood churning and seemingly boiling before them.
Dou Tang approached but did not rush forward. He simply held his sword and waited quietly. He knew that the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming was far from dead.
He also wanted to see what other tricks this monster had up its sleeve, and just how much power a single crown could grant to a person.
Finally, something began to wriggle in the boiling blood pool.
"Gah—Awooooo!!!"
A sharp, piercing screech, clearly not belonging to any animal, rang out.
A colossal creature suddenly burst through the blood pool!
That was... a gaping maw! Indeed, it was just something that could be called a mouth.
Within that gaping maw grew countless irregular, sharp white teeth, carefully...
Upon closer inspection, some of the sharp teeth had fine cavities, clearly indicating that they were not teeth at all, but rather shattered bones.
Countless human bones form the main body of this gaping maw, with layers of gnarled muscles attached to it, forming the muscles of this gaping maw.
Many limbs, including hands and feet, sprouted from the outer side of that gaping maw, swaying and swinging in a completely illogical way. One pair of limbs still bore the image of the flesh-and-blood longbow and the white bowstring from before.
The current Onmyoji Ling Ming has lost even his basic human form, and has completely transformed into a gigantic maw of flesh and blood.
"I'm going to... kill you..." The voice of the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming came from nowhere, echoing in the space, deafeningly loud.
Dou Tang blinked, looking at the monster that had reached the ceiling, without any fear.
The limbs on the outside of the giant mouth drew a bow and nocked an arrow again, and a white arrow shot towards Dou Tang.
But this time the white arrow was obviously much weaker. Dou Tang could no longer feel the lock-on effect as before. He raised his hand and shattered the light with a sword.
Then he rubbed his left shoulder, and the pain in his shoulder disappeared. He figured it would be fine in a little while.
Seeing this, the giant mouth swung its entire body, its massive form sweeping out horizontally. The five shadow warriors quickly retreated, but two of them were still swept away, crashing into the wall in the distance with a thud, clearly suffering considerable injuries.
Then, the flesh on the giant mouth continued to writhe, and the incorruptible flesh began to expand as if inflated, frantically absorbing the blood in the blood pool.
Flesh and bones trembled, and many more limbs extended from the outside of the giant mouth, forming longbows of flesh and blood.
In an instant, more than a dozen white light arrows were born from nothingness, all pointing at Dou Tang and blocking all his escape routes!
Chapter 136 The Death of the Onmyoji
The three still-intact shadow warriors frantically approached Dou Tang, while Dou Tang himself slightly raised his head.
Suddenly, patches of greenish-blue mold began to float in the air around him. The mold seemed to appear out of nowhere, growing rapidly and multiplying in the air in a completely incomprehensible way. The gel-like mold and slime aggregated together and blocked Dou Tang's way.
【Crown of Iniquity】launched.
Dou Tang cannot control the slime mold and bacteria in the blood because the blood is under the control of the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming. However, this space has become humid and stuffy because of the blood, which is the ideal environment for the Gou Chang Crown.
"Your crown...your crown is mine..."
Onmyoji Ling Ming's rationality seemed to be affected; he could no longer speak clearly and had gone berserk.
Dou Tang remained silent. The slime gel in the air began to combine with each other, and the originally translucent gel became darker in color, which also meant that its hardness increased.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Suddenly, without warning, the giant mouth released arrows, and countless white arrows flew towards Dou Tang.
Three shadow warriors leaped into the air, their swords flashing, and a series of crackling sounds echoed through the air as shattered white light scattered and disappeared.
However, many arrows still broke through the defenses, pierced the gel that served as a shield, and after a brief, almost imperceptible slowdown, shot towards Dou Tang.
It was this almost imperceptible delay that gave Dou Tang time to counterattack.
His body suddenly fell forward, and at the same time, he pushed off the ground with both feet, pressing his body low as he charged forward, wielding his long sword to block the incoming arrows.
He deflected all the arrows, and stepping on a piece of gel, he charged toward the giant-mouthed monster high above.
The giant maw began to rotate, swinging backward as if to dodge, but then suddenly swung forward, its countless bone-toothed, writhing jaws snapping down at Dou Tang.
Dou Tang snorted coldly and stretched out his left hand.
"call--!"
A large handful of flames, like a blooming spiral flower, spread out forward!
The Flame Rope was reignited at the exact moment Dou Tang had planned it. The high-temperature flames instantly illuminated every corner of the dark space, making the giant maw appear even more ferocious under the light.
Then, the fiery flowers formed from the fiery ropes rushed into the giant mouth all at once.
Dou Tang then stomped hard on the giant ball of fiery rope in front of him and jumped back!
"Gah, gah-ah—"
A mournful howl suddenly rang out, and the giant mouth was completely blocked by a fiercely burning fireball.
The grease and flesh ignited rapidly under the scorching flames, and the giant sphere made of flaming ropes instantly collapsed. Countless sections of rope burning with high-temperature flames covered the giant mouth and even draped over the limbs.
The limbs holding the bow and arrow flailed wildly, its gigantic mouth opening and closing repeatedly. The monstrous creature born from the pool of blood instantly understood that even if it used the flesh and blood of hundreds of people to build its body, it was still just a mortal body.
But soon, the giant mouth came up with another idea. Its blood-filled muscles began to release blood from its body, and as its size shrank, countless drops of viscous blood gradually extinguished the flames.
However, Dou Tang would not let this opportunity slip by.
He swung his left hand, and a thick, long rope of fire swept through the darkness, precisely securing itself to one side of the giant mouth. Then, the muscles in Dou Tang's left arm tensed, and the power of the Ito Crown surged forth.
A tremendous force suddenly arose, and Dou Tang pulled hard!
"Oh!"
Caught off guard, the giant maw was pulled down and crashed heavily onto the edge of the blood pool. The concrete and tiled pool walls shattered instantly, and the blood that served as nourishment for the giant maw gushed out continuously.
“Ahhh—” A mournful cry echoed from the depths of the giant maw.
Three shadow warriors stepped forward and raised their swords.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Three longswords pinned the giant mouth firmly to the ground.
Dou Tang slowly stepped forward, his expression calm, as if the monster before him, which could terrify any exorcist in Tokyo, was just one of the ordinary evil spirits he had encountered.
“The crown…my crown…”
"I don't want to die..."
Onmyoji Ling Ming's murmur appeared again, and Dou Tang shook his head helplessly: "Has he lost his mind?"
"A year, the bodies of hundreds of people, and the monster that was created... In this respect, Onmyoji Lingming, you are truly an absolute evil spirit."
"But... although your desire for life is so strong, it is still somewhat weak."
"It's not your fault."
Dou Tang slowly raised his sword, but then sighed.
"Die, you evil spirit."
The longsword slashed down without hesitation.
………………
The people fighting in the corridor were somewhat anxious.
"Why is there still no movement after so long? Damn it... we can't drive these monsters away at all!" Kotaro complained.
Even the usually calm Lu Zizhen frowned deeply. Judging from the strength of these monsters, the power of the crown of that Onmyoji Ling Ming was not that strong. Why had it taken so long?
At this moment, the group had already rushed into the center of the flesh monster. There were enemies on both sides. Xueqing and Aida Yue blocked the enemies that were scattered and reassembled behind them, while Lu Zizhen, Guang Taro, and Lao Lang acted as the breakthrough force, pushing forward with all their might.
By this time, everyone was covered in sweat. Although they weren't completely exhausted, they were feeling tired.
Only Ejima Izai, who was busy going back and forth between the two places, seemed to be handling things with ease.
"However, that guy isn't as strong as I thought," Ejima Izai said cheerfully.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the monsters, which had been attacking like animals on instinct, suddenly stopped moving.
Then, as if suddenly freed from their controllers, these monsters turned into ordinary flesh and bones, scattered all over the ground. The blood that had been bound in the flesh by the mysterious power also gushed out, quickly covering the ground.
"what?"
Lu Zizhen's face lit up with joy: "We've succeeded in getting Dou Tang!"
The monsters fell to the ground one after another, and for a moment, the corridor was filled with the sound of flesh and blood falling to the ground.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"He succeeded... thankfully it didn't take too long." The old wolf panted heavily, sticking out his tongue, and removed the tissue from his nose, his wolf face showing obvious disgust and revulsion: "This stench is just too strong!"
Without delay, the group stepped over the pieces of corpse on the ground, rushed through the corridor, and then saw the door that had been blasted open by Dou Tang's gravity. They all came to the door.
The hellish scene behind the door made everyone hold their breath.
In the dark space, flesh and bones were scattered everywhere. In the middle, there seemed to be a huge pool that was raised above the ground. At this moment, half of the pool had collapsed, and blood flowed out of the pool, staining the broken tiles and concrete pieces red.
A huge monster lay sprawled on the ground, half of its body protruding from the pool, its massive mouth filled with countless broken bone teeth, looking ferocious and terrifying.
But the monster is dead.
Standing before the monster was a man whose body was soaked in blood, even his black hair was covered with a layer of crimson.
He slowly turned around, his eyes gleaming with a fiery blue light that stood out starkly in the deep darkness.
Section 137
Seeing this scene, everyone felt a little uneasy. Although they knew that the person in front of them was their companion, they still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
At this moment, Dou Tang's aura was simply too strong.
Lu Zizhen let out a long breath and was the first to speak: "It looks like it's going to be a tough battle."
As soon as he said those words, Dou Tang's aura suddenly froze, then slowly dissipated, as if an invisible, scorching fire had been extinguished.
Dou Tang nodded, then shook his head: "No, he's a little weaker than I thought."
"His ability isn't focused on direct combat, but rather on controlling flesh and blood." Dou Tang wiped the blood from his face and looked at Lao Lang and Guang Taro: "Are you two experiencing any abnormalities in your bodies right now?"
Kotaro and the old wolf then deactivated their transformations and reverted to their human forms. Kotaro touched his abs, shook his head, and said, "No, nothing's wrong."
Old Wolf touched his chin: "I feel like my chin is protruding a bit more than before."
"Have you ever thought that you might have a slight underbite?" Kotaro actually had the mood to make a sarcastic remark.
Seeing that the two were safe and sound, Dou Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid. What would happen if the Onmyoji Ling Ming died and the two of them developed health problems?
He did obtain the crown of the Onmyoji Lingming, but he dared not gamble on whether he could control it immediately. This involved tampering with a person's flesh and blood, and if he was not careful, both of them would be born with regrets.
For example... it's not impossible for one egg to be added or one egg to be missing, right?
Having spent so much time together, Dou Tang was still very reluctant to part ways.
of.
Old Wolf was initially an opportunist, but he stuck to his principles. After reforming, all his efforts were genuine, and even now, he still has more than a dozen old injuries that have not fully healed.
Kotaro, on the other hand, is a model of justice and can be considered a true Kamen Rider.
At this moment, Ejima Izai waved his hand and took two steps inside, saying, "It stinks in here. Where's that Onmyoji?"
Dou Tang pointed to the giant maw in front of him: "Right here."
"Holy crap, he actually turned into this thing?" Jiangdao Yizai walked forward curiously, and the others followed, looking around at everything in the room.
The companions curiously examined the monster that the Onmyoji Ling Ming had transformed into, while Dou Tang sat down by the blood pool, casually leaning his sword against his side to rest.
Lu Zizhen glanced at the giant-mouthed monster twice and then lost interest. She walked up to Dou Tang and looked at him with a smile.
"You can still laugh in this kind of environment?" Dou Tang asked rhetorically.
"Why aren't you smiling after winning?" Lu Zizhen looked him over. "Are you injured?"
Dou Tang moved his left shoulder and frowned, saying, "He shot me in the left shoulder with an arrow, and it still hurts a lot, but there's no wound."
"It's probably an attack targeting the soul. Onmyoji always have these kinds of methods." Lu Zizhen rubbed Dou Tang's shoulder and was relieved to find that there were no wounds. "Don't worry, he'll be fine after a few days of rest."
