Because Dou Tang's fighting spirit was also stirred up by Jing Qian Fang, he was even somewhat reluctant to defeat Jing Qian Fang.
If Dou Tang, who became Mr. Ren in his previous life, was filled with hostility towards evil spirits and monsters, then in his heart, there was also a younger version of himself.
As a child, I longed to prove my skills, to fight real enemies, and to hone my techniques.
Perhaps because he had experienced the exhilaration of his youth in a dream before, Dou Tang now also began to enjoy the battle with Jing Qian Fang.
The same applies to Whale Front Workshop.
For a martial artist, what could be more important than gaining the enemy's approval of their skills?
Despite the blade already starting to chip and the sharp pain from the cracked skin on their hands, the two did not stop.
The two men were now fighting on a high place, on a car that had been scooped up. The ground beneath their feet was littered with broken glass, and the roof of the destroyed car was badly damaged. They had to be wary of not only their opponent's attacks but also of the traps that could collapse at any moment.
People were shouting from all directions, and the lights were flashing. Dou Tang and Jing Qianfang looked around and saw that the whole street was crowded with people and flashing lights, like a galaxy lying on the ground.
Chapter 360 No martial ethics!
Two battles are taking place simultaneously: one between the bustling streets and the other between the eerie parking lot.
In addition to these two battles, another battle is underway.
That was the battle that took place on the second floor of the parking lot, and it belonged to Ninomiya Yusuke.
For a long time, Ninomiya Yukichi has been seen as the most law-abiding person in the industry, and he exudes a kind of easygoing, laid-back vibe.
He stayed in Nikko City, guarding the assets left by his family, living a life where he would exorcise demons when people came to him for help, and only help the association with some paperwork and files when no one came to him.
Normally, he would just have some little things happen with his somewhat quiet fiancée, like something out of a romantic comedy.
Perhaps in a few years, Ninomiya Yukichi will marry her?
For Ninomiya Yusuke, he had witnessed too much suffering because of his profession as an exorcist. It was precisely because he had seen the face of suffering that he chose such a peaceful life. He could hardly imagine what it would be like for him to experience the tragedy of being separated from his loved ones forever or to be harmed by evil spirits.
But as the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet." In the end, the fate of being possessed by evil spirits and causing harm to those around him still befell Ninomiya Yusuke.
For a long time, anger has been a word far removed from Yuki Ninomiya.
But this time, he could feel that something called anger rising from the bottom of his heart, clinging to his spine, crawling on his back, gnawing at his neck and devouring his blood, and then whispering in his ear.
He wanted revenge, he wanted to kill, he wanted to reclaim his life.
Wearing heavy armor, Ninomiya Yusuke slowly walked up to the second floor, and then saw the truck in the center of the second floor.
At this moment, three people were surrounding the truck, and two more people were looking down at the battle on the street. After noticing Ninomiya Yusuke coming up, they cast unfriendly glances at him.
The two exorcists belonging to Hayashida Mine stepped forward, looking extremely confident, as if they could handle Ninomiya Yusuke on their own.
Ninomiya Yusuke didn't say a word, but simply threw down his heavy handbag, then bent down and took out... an old-fashioned rifle.
The two men's expressions changed upon seeing this.
Isn't this supposed to be a battle between exorcists?! Why did they suddenly pull out guns?!
At this moment, the streets are extremely noisy and chaotic. Even if Ninomiya Yusuke were to fire a shot here, it would probably not attract any attention!
Of course... even if there wasn't that battle on the street right now, Ninomiya Yusuke would definitely have fired his gun.
When a gun is brought to the battlefield, there is no reason not to fire it.
Ninomiya Yusuke released the safety, raised the well-maintained rifle in his hand, and aimed it at one of the men with one hand.
"boom!"
After a gunshot rang out, the bullet struck one of the men directly in the arm. Blood gushed out, and the man cried out in pain as he collapsed to his knees.
Ninomiya Yusuke slid the bolt, the spent cartridge ejected, he grunted, and raised his gun to point at another person.
"Get lost if you don't want to die."
But the other person showed no intention of backing down. Instead, he sneered, waved his hand sharply, and unleashed a swarm of insects from his sleeve, which flew toward Ninomiya Yusuke.
Ninomiya Yukichi remained calm, bent down, and took out another strange device from his handbag.
The device looked a lot like a cooking torch, but the difference was that it was fueled by an alcohol canister.
He bit down on the pressure pump at the top of the device and pressed it down a few times, then raised his hand forward.
"boom--"
A torrent of flames erupted, instantly engulfing the entire space in front of them. All the insects that flew in could not break through the barrier formed by the raging flames, and they fell to the ground with a series of piercing screams like the pain of infants.
The exorcist who commanded the insects was surprised, but his surprise...
Before the flames had even subsided, Ninomiya Yukichi, behind the barrier of flames, had already raised his gun again.
Without hesitation, Ninomiya Yusuke pulled the trigger. With a gunshot, the Insect Exorcist let out a wail, clutching his thigh and collapsing to the ground.
"I don't think you're necessarily the loyal dogs of that guy named Hayashida. Let me give you a piece of advice: don't throw your lives away in vain." Ninomiya Yusuke's eyes were icy cold. From the moment he fired at humans, he had already prepared himself for a lot of trouble to come. At this moment, he didn't care about anything anymore.
At this moment, the three exorcists who had been with the truck earlier slowly walked closer.
"Mr. Ninomiya, right? You've even resorted to using guns. You should know what that means, right?" The leader of the exorcists, with a long sword at his waist, raised his head slightly, his attitude arrogant.
"It means I will defeat you, and then kill Tamamo-no-Mae, it's that simple." Ninomiya Yuuki pointed his gun at the man, his words carrying a sharp killing intent.
The exorcist drew his long sword, and the three of them slowly spread out, already in a fighting stance. Then, the exorcist holding the long sword said, "Mr. Ninomiya, you made a mistake."
"That means... you didn't come to fight us with the will to kill."
The long-sword exorcist seemed to see through Ninomiya Yusuke's true nature. He could see that even though the man in front of him wanted to avenge his fiancée, he still maintained restraint and kindness. Even when facing this group of exorcists who he knew were his enemies, he could not bring himself to kill them. The two shots he had fired earlier were all aimed at non-lethal areas.
Too kind, too weak... That's what the longsword exorcist thought to himself.
Upon hearing the words of the long-sword exorcist, Ninomiya Yusuke stopped.
The flames from the burning insects flowed across the ground, their light reflecting on his face. Clad in heavy armor, his expression was inscrutable, revealing only a helpless sadness.
"Is that so... So that's how you see me? I've really been underestimated." Ninomiya Yuuki gave a wry smile.
He then raised his gun again.
"boom!"
The longsword exorcist was stunned.
The piercing pain from his chest made him realize what had happened. He slowly lowered his head and looked incredulously at his chest, where blood was gushing out continuously.
Ninomiya Yusuke casually tossed aside the rifle, his bitter smile gradually turning into a fierce and ruthless rage.
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
"I'm giving you a way to live, and you don't even appreciate it? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?" He bent down and reached into his bag, pulling out two handguns.
He held guns in both hands, wore heavy armor, and looked like he stepped out of a shooting game, and the most shameless kind of player at that.
Just as the long-sword exorcist was about to retreat, he saw Ninomiya Yusuke raise his pistol again.
Chapter 361 Krypton Gold Players
After witnessing the arrogant attitude of the long-sword exorcist, Ninomiya Yusuke realized where the problem lay.
Often, the people he encountered were either from the association or ordinary people. Although the exorcists in the association competed with each other, they were in a relatively harmonious state under the association's jurisdiction.
Ordinary people who need his help are even less likely to speak rudely to him.
Over time, Ninomiya Yusuke's thinking became confined to his comfort zone. He believed that there was nothing that exorcists couldn't talk about properly, and nothing that had to be fought to the death.
He had never experienced the era of bloody slaughter among exorcists, nor had he participated in events that required them to be enemies, because he had never encountered anything that required him to risk his life or take the lives of others to resolve.
Ninomiya Yusuke is like an infant in swaddling clothes, always well protected by Nikko City and the people around him. In such a harmonious environment, his kindness and gentleness can be reciprocated by others.
But it is different now.
Before him stood a true enemy, completely different from those in his camp, an enemy with whom a fight to the death was necessary to end.
Ninomiya Yusuke realized the truth.
He held two guns, the magazines filled with bullets imbued with psychic power. Each bullet was engraved with intricate runes, and the grooves in the runes were filled with gold.
These bullets were meant to be used against evil spirits, but it seems they're just as effective against exorcists.
Whether it's a long sword imbued with psychic power, insects raised with resentment, or the enemy's endless onslaught of shikigami, Ninomiya Yusuke doesn't care.
He simply moved forward silently, unstoppable, like a mountain in motion.
The pistol spewed fire, its bullets accurately blocking the enemy's attacks. In a daze, Ninomiya Yusuke felt as if the pistol had become one with him, an extension of his consciousness.
The exorcist with the long sword, enduring the gunshot wound in his chest, charged forward.
For exorcists, gunshot wounds are not particularly troublesome. With the arrival of the new era, even exorcists who rely solely on external forces to exorcise demons have begun to notice their bodies becoming increasingly stronger under the enhancement of psychic power and resentment, not to mention those who are originally martial arts-based exorcists.
Their bodies are getting stronger little by little, and their abilities are becoming more and more powerful. The new era is pushing the battles between exorcists to a new level.
If the past struggles between exorcists were merely about using evil spirits to draw spells and sabotage each other...
So now, the battle between exorcists is like superpowered individuals doing their best to take someone else's life.
The guns that used to be able to kill most exorcists with a single shot can now only inflict damage, not kill.
The long-sword exorcist charged forward, wielding his long sword and moving as smoothly as flowing water. Under the cover of two other exorcists, he arrived in front of Ninomiya Yuuki in the blink of an eye.
He brandished the longsword, its blade gleaming with intricate scriptures that emitted a dazzling golden light, granting the sword power far exceeding that of ordinary iron.
"Whoosh—thud!"
The longsword struck the heavy armor with a loud clang, and at the same time, the exorcist felt his hand crack open from the impact, and a sharp pain shot through him.
He groaned and stumbled back several steps, his eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at Ninomiya Yuki.
Golden runes began to appear on the surface of the thick armor on Ninomiya Yusuke's body.
The inscriptions gradually lit up, and one spell after another was activated. The dazzling light was far more difficult to cast than the longsword of the exorcist, and the golden light was slowly emanating particles, making it even more extraordinary.
If Lu Zizhen is a pay-to-win player, then her spending strategy is undoubtedly to use whatever is useful to the extreme. She is best at using talismans, so she keeps using them, accumulating a large number of talismans, and using the power contained in the talismans to crush her enemies.
Ninomiya Yusuke is undoubtedly a pay-to-win player, but his spending style is quite different.
The creative Yusuke Ninomiya enjoys attaching various spells to everyday objects. He once even sealed a vengeful spirit in a rice cooker, which was criticized by Tsukiko Kurizaki for not calling it "Mafuba".
More than a year after the so-called "new era," Ninomiya Yuuki found that his spells had become more effective, so he began to order a series of exorcism equipment for himself.
This heavy armor, modified from a bomb suit, is his ultimate creation.
In addition to the original composite bulletproof material, Yuki Ninomiya designed hundreds of pieces of fabric engraved with magical patterns and sewed them into the bomb suit.
The materials needed for the procedure alone cost Ninomiya Yuki almost the price of a house.
This type of bomb suit not only resists damage from firearms and explosions, but also provides strong resistance to various spells and resentment from exorcists and evil spirits.
If he wears the mask, he can even block out the illusions caused by the resentment barrier and see the true situation inside the barrier.
The exorcist with the longsword, having failed in his attack, stood frozen in place.
He was shot in the chest but it wasn't fatal; the split in the palm of his hand was just a minor injury, but the longsword exorcist knew he couldn't escape.
Ninomiya Yusuke had already raised his hand, the dark muzzle of the gun pointed at the longsword exorcist's forehead, and the cold eyes behind the gun made the longsword exorcist understand that he was serious.
"boom!"
A gunshot rang out, smoke billowed, and spent cartridges clattered to the ground. Then, the exorcist with the longsword fell backward to the ground.
Ninomiya Yusuke showed no mercy, continuing to wield his dual pistols to suppress the last two exorcists.
One of the exorcists commanded a fox spirit formed from flames, while the other was not good at fighting, hiding and dodging, with a mournful hiss coming from his sleeve from time to time, as if he were hiding something strange.
Realizing he couldn't defeat Ninomiya Yuuki, the exorcist who controlled the fox shikigami quickly raised his hand, took a few steps back, and said, "I quit! Mr. Ninomiya, I quit! I'm not fighting anymore!"
Ninomiya Yusuke did not answer, but simply turned his guns around and pointed both at the exorcist who was running away.
"Huff, huff... Hey! You guys in the truck! How long are you planning to hide?!" The exorcist, who was good at running, dodged behind a load-bearing pillar and shouted loudly towards the truck.
Only then was the front door of the truck opened, and two people jumped out of the driver's seat and looked in the direction of Ninomiya Yusuke.
Ninomiya Yusuke immediately realized that his battle was not over, but had only just begun.
These five people are nothing but a rabble.
The two people who were actually in charge of guarding Tamamo-no-Mae and were Hayashida Mine's confidants should be these two.
Chapter 362 Dust Explosion
Ninomiya Yukichi quietly observed the two exorcists before him.
One of the exorcists before them was wearing a heavy coat and looked nearly two meters tall, standing like an iron tower. His face was expressionless, and his cold, gloomy eyes were like those of a dead man. His whole being exuded an aura of antiquity and decay.
The other person was wearing a bright red fleece-lined baseball uniform, looking very energetic. He was carrying a baseball bat and looked like someone who would only appear in a sports school.
