Chapter 834: The Three Great Yokai
A Pseudo-Immortal had just died, just like that.
But thinking carefully, Sage Qingwei was undoubtedly a Banished Immortal, while the Koga Jonin was more like a lower-tier existence akin to a Rogue Cultivator. Thus, there was an insurmountable gap between the two.
Though Qi Xuansu was nominally a Rogue Cultivator, he was actually an incomplete manmade Banished Immortal. Thus, he could not be compared directly.
Moreover, the Koga Jonin had already fought an intense battle with Spirit Guard Ding Wei, severely draining his strength and leaving him far from his peak. In contrast, Sage Qingwei had remained in peak condition, waiting to slay the enemy with calm readiness. He struck with full intent against an unprepared foe, so the Koga Jonin’s swift defeat was expected.
The Koga Jonin’s head was severed, and his soul was also split in one slash before it managed to escape his body. Half of his soul remained within his severed head, and the other half within the headless corpse.
His two semi-immortal objects, the Onikiri and the Koga Ninja Scroll, had now become masterless items.
The only one alive among the five Sonno-joi members was Ise-jingu’s Princess Tamako.
No matter how one looked at it, the Daoist faction had reaped great rewards.
Just then, a sudden anomaly occurred.
Several enormous fox tails seemed to appear from thin air, blooming layer by layer like lotus petals. Each tail was as mighty as a flood dragon, rising from below to encircle the Yinglong Warship and binding it tightly so it could no longer move.
One of the fox tails swept up the Onikiri and the Koga Ninja Scroll left behind by the Koga Jonin.
Another fox tail attempted to seize Princess Tamako, but a flash of blood-red light foiled the attempt.
