Chapter Twelve: Youyouzi

  Name: Fēng Jiàn Yōu Xiāng

  Race: Yao

  Ability: The ability to manipulate flowers (the truly powerful place is where strong and pure magical power and excellent physical abilities meet)

  Age: Unknown

  Address: Sunflower Field

  Attributes: S (Queen...)

  Hobby: Playing with people's minds...

  Yes! That's all.

  Looking at Chen Yi's momentum rising to its peak, the Queen of You Xiang... coughed, and Feng Jian You Xiang said excitedly: "Great! That's it, but is your power only this much? Don't make me look down on you! Haha!"

  As soon as the words fell, the crimson color on Chen Yi's body also began to spread from his hands to his whole body.

  Demonization!

  The Tsurugi doll, which had already reached its limit, suddenly surged in power again. Its body began to show signs of strain and cracks due to the excessive force, even with its strong regenerative abilities unable to keep up, only delaying the inevitable. Yet, the Tsurugi doll remained expressionless, ignoring the injuries on its body.

  If it were the real Tsubaki, she would probably be rolling around on the ground by now, but as a puppet, she doesn't have any negative effects like pain or fatigue, and can keep fighting as long as the time continues.

  "Great! That's it! Let me see your power properly! Hah!" The Queen of Yu Xiang's aura was overflowing with excitement.

  "ROAR!!" Tianshen Ren let out a sudden bellow, his hands tightly gripping the massive Blood Blade behind him. With a speed as swift as thunder, he fiercely chopped down at Fuuka Yuuhi. The wind pressure emanating from the blade hadn't even touched the ground yet when the earth began to crack and split apart. In an instant, the sunflowers surrounding Fuuka were crushed into powder.

  BOOM!!

  A loud crash, the knife fell to the ground, and a massive blood blade exploded violently. The ground showed a large range of depressions, and a flash of red light burst out from the depression.

  Boom!

  A deafening roar echoed again, and the earth began to shake violently. A column of fire shot up into the sky like a volcanic eruption!

  "Ah lie lie~~~" Chen Yi looked at the distant pillar of fire, "Did Mount Fuji erupt? The direction is not right, though? Besides, there shouldn't be any volcanoes over there, and isn't that place supposed to be within the territory of Queen Yu Xiang...?"

  Chen Yi's body shook violently, that poor kid's guts are so thick, dare to go to the territory of Queen Yu Xiang and cause trouble. Looking at this situation, the entire sunflower field should be destroyed by now. Poor child, I don't know what will happen when facing Queen Yu Xiang's anger.

  Chen Yi silently prayed for three seconds in his heart for that unlucky guy. I'd better keep a distance, Chen Yi thought.

  Scene switch...

  The fire pillar exploded with a loud noise after erupting for a period of time, and the intense explosion once again ravaged the already severely damaged sunflower field.

  The dust dispersed, and the Chen Yiren doll had returned to its original form, a Q-like doll full of cracks. Looking back at Feng Xianyao, he withstood a powerful awakening blow from the Chen Yiren doll, but after waking up, his clothes only slightly smoked, having suffered some damage.

  Long live the Queen...

  Looking at the sunflower field that was destroyed and not in good shape, Feng Jianxiang put this account on Chen Yitian's head. Chen Yitian, who continued to move away, shuddered violently, as if he had been remembered by some powerful existence.

  Feng Jianyu Xiang walked to the side of Chen Yiren, who had already returned to his original form, and picked up the cracked Chen Yiren doll. "As a puppet, you have reached this point, you have the value that makes me want to collect you."

  Then, Fēng Jiàn Yōu Xiāng waved her hand and the severely damaged sunflower field began to recover. The withered flowers bloomed again, and the cracked earth was also filled with flowers.

  "I didn't think the damage to the flower field would be so severe, and my excitement hasn't subsided yet... Let's go find some other youkai to vent on..." The words of Queen Yuka decided the fate of many poor youkai.

  A sense of horror spread over Chen Yi's body, causing him to quicken his pace once again.

  Opening the map and seeing that he was thoroughly far away from Feng Jian's territory, Chen Yi finally let out a breath of relief. Let's find a place to rest, it's getting late.

  At the same time, under the reflection of the sunset, countless monsters in a certain place wailed, being chased and killed by the ghostly queen Yu Xiang, who held a sun umbrella behind her back and laughed wildly...

  A few days later, Chen Yi walked on a small rural road, without any self-awareness as a demon (his current identity), walking with a swagger.

  Then, Chen Yi looked at the crowd of exorcists who had surrounded him again, wearing neat uniforms and holding various weapons, and his mind was filled with black lines.

  My perception! Why does it always fail? Chen Yi used force to flip over the imagined table in his mind, Master God must be playing tricks on me, it must be you!

  "Yes!" The main god acknowledged without hesitation.

  I'm going crazy! You're so damn annoying...!!!, Chen Yitian scolded loudly.

  "...the main god is invisible."

  Looking at the crowd of demon-hunters surrounding him, Chen Yi suddenly felt a wave of melancholy wash over him, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that his peaceful days were gone forever...

  "Monster! You dare to openly disrupt the city's life, although you are very powerful, but today we have many monster hunters gathered together, and we will definitely seal you, this monster, once and for all." The one who spoke was full of righteousness.

  How dare you! A group of third-rate demon hunters, and yet they come looking for trouble! This is a path to self-destruction! The little spiritual energy I sense in the bodies of these demon hunters around me is scarce, at most it's just mediocre. Although it's beyond that of ordinary people, it's still not strong enough to amount to anything.

  "Everyone, up! Eliminate this demon!" Many demon hunters charged at Chen Yi together.

  Fury erupts!

  Chen Yi stamped his foot heavily, and a huge ring emerged from the ground, enveloping many demon-hunting masters. The fluctuation of blood energy shook violently, sending many demon-hunting masters flying.

  "What's going on?! My body is out of control!"

  "I knew I shouldn't have messed with this powerful demon! I don't want to die!"

  "Help! Is anyone going to save me?!"

  The numerous demon slayers who were blown into the air continued to wail, another wave of bloody energy fluctuations erupted again, and a blood wave formed entirely by blood energy shot up into the sky, submerging all the demon slayers within.

  A cool turn of the body, ignoring the scattered limbs and debris on the ground. A master always leaves without looking back when defeating an enemy... Hmm! It's the same principle as not turning to look at an explosion with a tough guy...

  "Ding! Human prestige (negative) increased!"

  Ignoring the main god's hint, Chen Yi thought while walking, should he hide for a few days? After all, his whereabouts had been discovered, and future troubles would definitely be endless. Wait!

  This is also a way to find Yuyuko, and now Yuyuko is still alive. Since she's alive, it's only a matter of time before she meets Yukari, and they'll become intimate friends... cough, good friends.

  Open the map, and on the map marked with the location of the Xihang Temple family, there is also the location of the Western Demon on the previous map.

  In the days of rushing, Chen Yi constantly faced the siege of demon-hunting masters and powerful monks, but under Chen Yi's greatly increased strength, they all suffered a crushing defeat, resulting in a huge increase in negative reputation among humans.

  In the end, just as Chen Yi was about to arrive at the Xiying Temple...

  On the last evening before arriving at Xī xíng sì jiā, Chen Yi held a cup of sacred grape wine, gazing at the stars while savoring the wine. "Tomorrow we'll arrive at Xī xíng sì jiā, let's have a good rest tonight."

  The moon is so round, the stars are so twinkling, but what's with this strange and discordant feeling?

  What？！No！Chen Yi's pupils suddenly shrank, I dodged！Chen Yi immediately threw away the wine glass in his hand and flashed to one side, but it was still a step too late.

  A bizarre skull with a gigantic and twisted head that occupied half of its body suddenly appeared out of thin air, tearing off one of Chen Yi's arms.

  "Uggghhh...!" Chen Yi let out a mournful cry, it hurts so much! Chen Yi looked at the strange skull that had swallowed his arm, while several other identical skulls surrounded him, rotating around him.

  Damn it! After downing a bottle of blood medicine, Chen Yi's arm slowly grew back out. Although Chen Yi had planned to find Youyouzi first, he didn't expect the other party to find him one step ahead, albeit in an unfriendly manner.

  Through the eerie skulls surrounding him, Chen Yi saw a frail-looking black-haired girl wearing a kimono and holding a tin cane.

  Originally, Saiyuki's Genjo Sanzo had black hair now, that's right, if it were any other color, he would have been killed as a demon...

  "Cut! Has the Western Temple household really become so deserted that they would send a mere dispatched girl...?" While saying this, Chen Yi thought to himself that he had probably gone too far in the past few days. Due to his unfavorable impression of the Western Temple's Buddhist monks, Chen Yi had not held back at all (although he never had), and unexpectedly, he had directly brought out Youyouzi.

  Sei'an Temple's Yuuyu pointed at Chen Yi with a righteous expression: "Monster! The monks of the temple can't defeat you, I feel sorry for you, but since destroying evil demons is Sei'an Temple's creed, this time... let me be the one to finish you off!!" Although she said that, in Chen Yi's eyes, she seemed very suspicious of being cute...

  "Ugh, what's with you guys?!" Chen Yi dodged a strange skull's attack. "I'm saying, why do you always pester me and refuse to scatter? I've never killed any ordinary people! As for those humans who are trying to take me down, can't let them just kill me without putting up a fight, right?"

  "Sorry! Sorry! I didn't want to do this either!" Western Temple Youyouzi still spoke with a weak and timid face, but the strange skulls surrounding Chen Yi continued to attack him.

  "I say, young lady, if you have the heart to apologize, then put away these skulls and let's sit down together for a drink and chat about life... Whoa!" Chen Yi dodged a strange skull that almost bit him.

  "Huh? You're still alive?" Chihiro's survival seemed to shock Seikouji Yūyū.

  Girl! Are you cursing me? Zhen Yi knew that these skulls were not under Youyou's control, but because of Youyou's ability, they automatically attacked the dangers around them.

  As he looked around at the increasingly numerous and strengthening skulls, Chen Yi's mind began to consider preparing to flee. Originally, a single powerful slash of his Ghost Slasher could annihilate one skull, but now, even after striking the skull with all his might, he could only manage to create a multitude of cracks.

  The power of the bizarre skull is rapidly strengthening!
