Chapter 214 Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual · Black Goat
Hakuto stood in front of Kikyo and Komaki. Hagoromo Kitsune's Kirin was blocked by one of Hakuto's hands.
Looking at his fractured fingers, Hakuto showed a slight look of surprise. He hadn't expected to be injured by Hagoromo Kitsune's attack.
He straightened his fractured fingers back into place. Then, the fractured fingers instantly healed. Then, Hakuto looked at Yae Miko and said, "I say, you smug fox. You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"Oh my, I couldn't block that attack. You saw it yourself. Even you got fractures. What could a weak girl like me possibly do?"
Yae Miko held her gohei, a hint of a smile on her face. But Hakuto clearly saw the smile in Yae Miko's eyes. She had done it on purpose.
"You really are a smug fox. But since you can't handle it, I'll step in. No problem, right?"
Without waiting for Yae Miko's answer, Hakuto snapped his fingers. The corpses of the Yokai that had just died were immediately covered by a pool of black liquid that emerged from the ground. Then, they formed a large black ball.
The next second, the black ball burst. Then, a huge Black Goat Youngling appeared.
"Baaa!!!"
With the cry, an invisible sonic wave instantly spread outward. The weaker Yokai and the mindless Evil Spirits instantly had their bodies burst. Then, they were devoured by more black liquid, forming black balls. Then, the black balls continued to hatch into Black Goat Younglings.
"Being able to hatch two Black Goat Younglings, even if they can't last long, it should be fine."
Seeing these two Black Goat Younglings, Yae Miko's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
"Be careful. Don't destroy my shrine. Otherwise, you'll have to compensate me for a shrine."
"Alright, alright, alright. Then, kill them all!"
Hakuto's gaze was cold as he looked at those Yokai. A cold, merciless voice came from his mouth.
Following the Black Goat's words, countless tentacles from the Black Goat's back instantly grabbed Yokai one after another, put them into its mouth, chewed, and swallowed them.
Seeing this, Nurarihyon shouted at Hakuto, "Hey, we're on the same side. Don't attack us."
"Sorry, but I don't consider you on our side. I can clearly feel the malice you carry."
Nurarihyon looked at Yae Miko. "I say, Guuji Yae. Are you trying to kick us out after using us?"
"Oh my, I never promised anything. Nor did I ever agree to an alliance with you!"
Nurarihyon's expression instantly darkened. His face directly turned grim. "In that case, don't blame us. Men, stop them!"
Nurarihyon directly charged towards the filth surging out from beneath the Sacred Sakura tree. Hakuto sneered, "So you were after the filth after all. Hah!"
The Black Goat Youngling's tentacles instantly reached out to grab Nurarihyon. Nurarihyon's figure instantly vanished.
But the next moment, the two Black Goats raised their feet and suddenly stomped on the ground.
The next moment, Nurarihyon's figure was directly shaken out. Then, the Black Goat's tentacles instantly reached out to grab Nurarihyon.
"Commander!"
Gyuki appeared beside Nurarihyon and pushed him away. But Gyuki was caught by the Black Goat Youngling.
"Gyuki!"
Seeing his subordinate commander caught by the Black Goat Youngling, Nurarihyon immediately raised his sword and swung it at the Black Goat Youngling's tentacle.
But when the blade hit the Black Goat Youngling's tentacle, it made the sound of metal striking metal.
Nurarihyon was even sent flying backward by the immense force of the rebound.
Gyuki had already been put into the Black Goat Youngling's mouth, chewed, and swallowed.
"I'll kill you!!!"
Nurarihyon's eyes turned red as he roared. He raised his weapon and charged at Hakuto. But the Black Goat Youngling protected Hakuto.
While everyone's attention was focused on Nurarihyon and Hakuto, Hagoromo Kitsune charged towards the filth.
Just as she was about to reach out and touch the filth, Nurarihyon's figure suddenly appeared. Then, he swung his sword hard at Hagoromo Kitsune!
Kyoka Suigetsu, Nurarihyon's signature skill.
Seeing the blood spurting from Hagoromo Kitsune's body, Hakuto's pupils instantly shrank to pinpricks.
Then, a surge of anger instantly overwhelmed Hakuto's reason.
Kicking Hagoromo Kitsune aside, Nurarihyon reached out for the filth. Upon touching the filth, Nurarihyon instantly became the host for countless filth. All the filth instantly poured into Nurarihyon's body.
"Power. I can feel power. Endless, surging power!"
Nurarihyon's pupils turned black. Black mist emanated from his body. The aura emanating from his body was terrifyingly immense.
"Commander!"
Tengu came to Nurarihyon's side and knelt on one knee. "Congratulations, Commander, on getting what you wished for. There is no one left in this world who can be your opponent."
"Congratulations, Commander!"
A sinister smile appeared on Nurarihyon's face. He looked up at Yae Miko. "Yae Miko, you didn't expect this, did you? In the end, I succeeded."
Yae Miko, however, ignored Nurarihyon. Her gaze was fixed intently on Hakuto.
Nurarihyon instinctively looked towards Hakuto. The next moment, a flicker of fear crossed Nurarihyon's face.
"How is this possible? This can't be. You can't be him. He's already dead."
Hakuto walked to Hagoromo Kitsune's side. Looking at her lying in a pool of blood, he helped her up. "Does it hurt?"
His voice was very soft, very gentle, as if he was afraid that speaking louder might startle her.
Hagoromo Kitsune looked at Hakuto in disbelief, a look of indescribable joy in her eyes.
She tremblingly reached out her hand. Hakuto held that blood-stained hand and placed it against his own face.
"Don't worry. I'm back. Whoever hurt you, I will make them pay."
His fingers gently stroked the wounds on Hagoromo Kitsune's body. Wherever Hakuto's fingers stroked, the wounds disappeared directly.
Hagoromo Kitsune looked at Hakuto. Her fingers stroked his cheek. "You're back. You've really come back."
