Chapter 965: Chapter 965: Scared to Death! Identity Revealed, Big Shot (2)

Everyone was taken aback, “!!!”

“It’s even worse seeing it!”

Wei Chengyun felt a chill run down his spine. “Miss Si, can we still go down now?”

“We can go down,” Si Fuqing replied, pulling out a few talisman papers from her pocket. “Take these and stay at the foot of the mountain. When the talismans heat up, you can leave.”

Wei Chengyun took the talismans and distributed them to the others.

As soon as they held the talismans, the chilling sensation faded.

The wandering spirits also kept their distance.

Although they could still see them, it was much better than before.

Chen Wenxin let out a shaky breath and stammered, “Miss-Miss Si, what exactly—”

He stopped mid-sentence, his face paling in terror.

Where did Si Fuqing go?!

**

At the top of the mountain, several Masters of Yin-Yang had already gathered.

Representatives from the four Yin-Yang families of Eastern Mulberry were present.

Each family had dispatched three Celestial Masters of Yin-Yang, who brought along the younger generation for training. There were also independent Masters of Yin-Yang among them.

When Si Fuqing and JI Xingzhi arrived, these Masters of Yin-Yang were already engaged in battle with the nether spirit.

Roars echoed as the nether spirit controlled other wandering spirits to launch coordinated attacks.

Si Fuqing’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The cultivation of this nether spirit had surpassed six hundred years, giving it a physical form.

Every hundred years marked a significant threshold; six hundred years was vastly different from five hundred.

Today, only twelve Celestial Masters of Yin-Yang had arrived, which was not enough to defeat this nether spirit.

Si Fuqing adjusted her hat, half her body hidden in the shadows, observing the battle with a calm demeanor.

“Their intelligence was flawed, they sent too few people. Let’s watch the show for now,” JI Xingzhi said, pulling out a handful of sunflower seeds. “Want some, big brother?”

Si Fuqing gave him a silent look of disapproval and moved to another side, distancing herself from the fool.

The battle reached a fever pitch, with explosions echoing through the wind.

The nether spirit let out a furious roar, summoning even more wandering spirits to join the fray.

“Retreat, everyone!” The leading elder’s expression changed dramatically. “That strike didn’t kill it, it’s enraged. Hold it off while we find more help.”

If this nether spirit descended the mountain, the towns below would be doomed.

“Should we intervene now?” JI Xingzhi asked, “They seem to be struggling.”

“Not yet,” Si Fuqing replied calmly.

At that moment, a cold voice resonated through the air, carrying an icy chill with it.

“Move aside.”

“Clang!”

It was the sound of a sword being drawn.

“Swish—slice!”

A long sword suddenly appeared, slashing at the nether spirit.

The nether spirit let out a sharp, agonized scream before dissolving into smoke, unable to recover.

With the nether spirit’s death, the barrier it had created shattered completely.

The wandering spirits on Mount Akahara vanished one by one.

At the foot of the mountain, Wei Chengyun felt the talisman paper on his chest heat up.

His spirits lifted as he reached out to touch the air, finding the invisible barrier gone.

Wei Chengyun sighed in relief and helped the terrified Professor Xiang to his feet. “Professor, let’s go.”

He glanced around to ensure everyone was safe, but noticed Wu Wanying was missing.

Frowning, Wei Chengyun tried calling her, but there was no answer.

Taking a deep breath, he had no choice but to leave Mount Akahara with the others.

Meanwhile, the owner of the long sword appeared before the others.

A woman dressed in a black bodysuit stepped forward.

Her long black hair, pale skin, and striking figure made even the most popular idols of Eastern Mulberry pale in comparison.

Her presence brought a hush over the crowd.

The Masters of Yin-Yangcheered.

“The Tsurugi Sword! It’s Miss Akatsuki!”

“Miss Akatsuki is here, thank goodness.”

“We would have been in big trouble without her.”

It was Kusonoki Akatsuki, a once-in-a-century genius of the Kusonoki family.

The Masters Yin-Yang from the four families exchanged glances, their eyes filled with regret and unwillingness.

Despite their combined efforts, they couldn’t defeat the nether spirit. It was Kusonoki Akatsuki who dealt the final blow.

Such a genius did not belong to their families.

But there was nothing they could do.

Kusonoki Akatsuki was not just a Master of Yin-Yang, she was also an evolved being.

The common weakness of a Master of Yin-Yang being physically frail did not apply to her.

Because of her, the worlds of evolved beings and Masters of Yin-Yang intersected.

Some speculated that Yu Wu’s high combat power might indicate she was an evolved being too.

At twenty-seven, Kusonoki Akatsuki was still young. With the Tsurugi Sword in hand, she outshone her peers from the four great families.

Kusonoki Akatsuki sheathed her sword and approached the spot where the nether spirit had appeared, her expression unchanging.

“Big brother, this freak is actually a kuudere,” JI Xingzhi whispered. “You said she fought you, I thought she was a maniac too.”

Si Fuqing paused for a moment, then asked sincerely, “What’s a kuudere?”

“It means she’s stoic, unemotional, and expressionless,” JI Xingzhi explained with enthusiasm. “It’s a big appeal in anime!”

Si Fuqing kicked him. “Watch less anime.”

“I was wrong, I was wrong,” JI Xingzhi immediately corrected himself. “She’s really powerful. The Tsurugi Sword is one of the ten divine weapons of the Eternity Continent.”

According to Eastern Mulberry mythology, the Tsurugi Sword emerged from the body of the monster Yamata no Orochi, a serpent with eight heads and eight tails whose massive form filled eight valleys and eight hills.

“Yes,” Si Fuqing mused. “When I met her, she didn’t have it. She must have found it later in ‘Eternity’. She truly is a genius.”

An elder stepped forward respectfully. “Miss Akatsuki, about this nether spirit—”

Kusonoki Akatsuki suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction, ignoring the elder’s question.

Without warning, she launched an attack at Si Fuqing, startling everyone.

Si Fuqing’s eyes narrowed. She quickly stepped back, and Kusonoki Akatsuki followed, the two disappearing into the forest.

JI Xingzhi exclaimed, unable to keep up.

“Is attacking on sight a normal greeting for insane people?”

The others were equally puzzled.

“Who was that girl? Who brought her here? Which family does she belong to?”

“I didn’t recognize her. Did anyone see her face clearly?”

“She seemed to have blocked Miss Akatsuki’s strike?”

Gasps filled the air.

That was Kusonoki Akatsuki!

A peerless genius who was both an evolved being and a Master of Yin-Yang.

JI Xingzhi glanced around but couldn’t sense where Si Fuqing was, so he helped the Masters of Yin-Yang clean up the aftermath.

In the forest, Kusonoki Akatsuki abruptly ceased her attacks.

She reached out to pinch Si Fuqing’s cheeks, her face finally showing a hint of confusion.

This genuine emotion, appearing on Kusonoki Akatsuki, a kuudere, created an unexpected charm.

Si Fuqing realized this must be what JI Xingzhi referred to as “cute.”

It was indeed quite cute.

“Hey, if you want to fight, fight. Don’t get handsy,” Si Fuqing said, gripping Akatsuki’s hand. “A lot of people like me now, you’ll have to queue up.”

Kusonoki Akatsuki tried to withdraw her hand but couldn’t.

She stared intently at the girl’s face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After a few seconds, she spoke, expressionless. “I knew it was you, Yu Wu.”
