Negotiations broke down, and Jiang Zhihui’s face remained expressionless as three red paper cutouts flew out from the depths of his sleeves on their own.

The papers, caught in the roiling heatwave of the courtyard, rapidly expanded in the air, transforming into three dark silhouettes.

One was a Blue Priest — a blue-skinned, cyclopean monk towering nearly two meters, wielding a Zen stick, with a broad back and round waist, his muscles bulging and veins protruding like twisted ropes.

Another was a Sea Priest — a fish-headed humanoid standing nearly three meters tall, dressed in the divine officer’s clothes of Shintoism, holding a keen scythe.

The third was a Bull Demon — a monstrous creature with the head of a bull and the body of a crab, its eyes bloodshot and mouth full of fangs, its size comparable to a giant truck, firmly blocking the path ahead.

If the shikigami released by ordinary members of the Spirit Sect are merely slightly stronger "creatures," then these three shikigami have stepped into the ranks of "demons and monsters."

Surrounded by a thick fog-like black evil aura, they effortlessly blocked the bullets fired from the shotgun controlled by mechanical arms.

Li Cheng’s heart remained unruffled; he had seen the potential future on his way here using the "Suicide Notebook," where these three shikigami appeared repeatedly, obviously Jiang Zhihui’s commonly summoned entities.

He raised his rusty straight blade, and with the momentum of the bat-wing motorcycle’s forward surge, he stabbed at the Blue Priest.

The cyclopean monk swung his Zen stick diagonally downward, trapping the blade with the glimmering rings at the end of the stick, while the Sea Priest stepped forward and twisted, his sharp scythe cutting straight toward Li Cheng’s neck.

At the same time, the Bull Demon also raised its crab-like legs, thrusting them towards the chasis underneath Li Cheng.
