The moment Gyuuki appeared and introduced himself, alarm bells go off inside Yin Long's head. There is no particular reason, it is all instinct. Every fiber of his being is screaming at him this man is dangerous.
With the blood from his sword dripping onto the ground, The dripping increased neither in its rate or its volume, yet by the time his opponent reached a few meters from him it was as if a hammer was slammed near his ears.
His breathing rate increased as Gyuuki also slowly approach him. The blood dripping down from his sword left a trail of blood behind.
Yin Long's profound aura was slowly retracted without him noticing, the yokai's who were affected slowly stood up one by one.
"Who are you people? What is your aim?!"
Yin Long asked while suppressing his terror with great difficulty.
He never heard of these group of people before, he didn't know why they targeted his headquarters.
"Oya? I thought you meant to challenge the Nura Clan when you abducted our comrade. Is it not the case?"
Gyuuki tilted his head to the side with signifying that he was confuse yet the smile containing a huge amount bloodlust contradicts everything.
It's more like he's saying that it doesn't matter we're only here to spread terror.
When he heard his opponent talk about abduction, he remembered the girl wearing a golden robe, it seems like he need to release her, he doesn't want to agitate this demons.
There also two more in the group shrouded with darkness who haven't made an appearance yet. Just the sheer thought made him shiver in fear.
To do battle would only be asking for death.
Even while lamenting his own unluckiness, Yin Long continues to search for a way out of this situation.
"Wa-wait, I'll release her. Someone!" He immediately called one of his minions.
Just in a while, a figure covered in blood was dragged by the mercenary. While Yin Long was out the mercenary he left in the room tortured the girl a bit and only stopped when he heard his boss called him.
Seeing this Yin Long trembled in fear, turning his head he glanced at the yokai's and as expected..
I'm going to be killed!
Gyuuki raised his sword, his pair of eye pupils shone with golden hue while it's scelera was painted black. Fear twirled around the sword. It's power signified the strength reaching the Peak of True Profound Realm.
He jumped back a step, and revealed a terrified expression: "Peak...True Profound Realm!!"
Yin Long's entire body began to tremble, then fell to the ground on his knees and prostrated excessively: "S…So… Sorry…. My eyes have failed to see….I was unable to recognize great beings such as yourself, I… I deserve to die… I deserve to die!"
If he knew the girl in golden robes has a subordinate which was actually a master that had achieved Peak True Profound Realm, he wouldn't have tried anything funny.
On the other side Yuki-onna leaned near Hannya looking at the mountain of corpse. "How fabulous."
Hannya turned his attention to Setsura while laughing. "Don't you think, Yuki-onna?"
"This is my Clan. Haha"
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
"No, you're fabulous. Supreme commander... Nurarihyon~sama." She said while moving her lips closer to Hannya when her chin was softly stopped by his hands.
"Stop it, are you trying to kill me?" Said Hannya with a smile.
"Oh, come on. Once isn't going to hurt. Kiss me." Said Setsura seductively.
"Not this time, it seems like it's about to end."
He turned back his attention to the situation between Gyuuki and Yin Long.
Gyuuki seemed at lost with this sudden development. If talking about a fight against ayakashi this guy would have already been split into pieces.
In their world, when you lost your 'fear' and succumb to your opponents 'fear' then your life will be forfeited. Yin Long who thought that this people would just let him go because the huge difference strength died when a flash of light went pass his head, red line emerge on his neck causing a fountain of blood to splash painting the ground red.
The entire scene together with a mountain of corpse looks like the very description of hell causing the guard holding Mezomaru pissed his pants and fled, but was followed by a horse-face and ox-face yokai.
"Just as I thought, you're the boldest." Hannya's figure emerged from the shadows while the moon illuminated his appearance, he looked at Gyuuki with looks of approval.
"I'm honored by your praise, Supreme commander." Gyuuki replied with a bow.
Hannya looked at his Night Parade of Hundred Demons and raised his sword in the air.
"You all, it's our win."
A defeaning roar echoed like thunder in the alley full of dead bodies.
...
The Cyan Forest Town, After getting the news about the Silver Dragon Mercenary crowded the former base of the strongest mercenaries, The Xia and Xiao clan from floating Cloud City also heard about the news and sent some people to investigate, after receiving their tasks these individuals immediately rushed to Cyan Forest Town.
In the instant that the members who Xiao and Xia clan sent entered the Cyan Forest Town and shivered as they can already smell blood carried by the wind, they went to the mercenary headquarters and Once they arrived, their faces couldn't help but greatly change because at that very moment, the entire headquarters could only be describe with the most fitting word: Hell
In the alley, former headquarters of the Silver Dragon Mercenary Group
Although the blood already dried out, they could still see the dark-redness. Blood splattered everywhere, and after entering the town, a strong stench could be smelt. It was the smell of blood.
"Who could have possibly massacred those barbarians? I really want to thank them." A tall merchant who just arrived was estatic after he saw that scene. Those mercenaries, always suppressed him for the longest time.
"Maybe those mercenaries offended a large clan?" The tall and big resident expressed confusion.
"It's the Nura clan." The slightly intellectual looking replied in a low voice.
"Nura Clan? How come I've never heard the name of that clan?" The Xiao clan investigator closely questioned.
"I saw what happened last night from the small gap in my window and based on what I heard they are indeed a member of Nura Clan." The intellectual looking resident said while shivering from reminiscing what happened.
the news of this massacre just like a terrifying hurricane, swept across the Cyan Forest Town until floating cloud city. All the high level members of Xia and Xiao clan received the special report.
Above these secret report, the name 'Nura Clan' was clearly written, a mysterious clan called Nura Clan raided the entire Silver Dragon Mercenary Group, and according to the report, it's a one-sided massacre with the Mercenary group not being able to retaliate at all.
...
Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, Nura Clan Headquarters
Hannya was sitting on the Sakura Tree, A cool breeze touched his cheeks and neck. The air that blows his hair around also rustles the cherry blossoms.
Ever since he summoned the Clan's headquarters he always felt his mind at ease when sitting in a Sakura tree, it must be because of Nurarihyon's bloodline.
He was currently thinking about the notification he received from the system the next day after the one-sided slaughter.
[Ding! Congratulation Host for completing the Hidden quest: Spread the name of Nura Clan within two hundred kilometers]
[Rewards: Senbonzakura Spirit (can be transferred), Cultivation Booster(high quality)]
'System, what exactly can this booster do?'
[The booster can help circulate the spiritual energy in your body to aid your breakthrough]
'Spiritual energy?' Hannya pondered for awhile until he remembered something. When he first summoned this base he remembered the system told him that this land is a spiritual gathering land.
'System, if I use this booster now on what realm would I be in?'
[Ding! Estimation Realm Level: Sky profound Realm 10th stage]
When he heard this, Hannya couldn't help but laugh. He was having a headache while thinking about the Scarlet Dragon living in this area. That monster has the strength of Emperor Profound Realm. Now with the Senbonzakura that he can transfer to the Long Sword of Three Tails, Sky Profound Realm cultivation and his tumoltous horde.
"Hahaha, interesting." Hannya's laugh echoed in the entire Headquarters startling the yokai's.
The Clash Between the Night Parade of Hundred Demons and Scarlet Dragon will soon commence..
"The mountain cannot contain Two Tigers."
