Chapter 1234 God’s Assist

At the same time, an incredibly strange and ear-piercing sound, like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, came from the darkness.

Shadows appeared in the black mist, some male, some female, some ferocious, some resentful, all emitting an eerie aura.

Looking around, the darkness was dense with figures, making one's scalp tingle.

At this moment, everyone felt as if they had fallen into the Nine Hells.

On Ye Bufan's side, everyone except him became incredibly nervous.

Especially Changsun Dongju, who was an ordinary person. Falling into the boundless darkness, she immediately felt extreme fear and quickly called out, "Son, you must be careful!"

Suddenly caught in such danger, if she had a choice, she would rather her son not come to save her.

"Mom, don't be nervous. With me here, there's nothing to fear."

Ye Bufan now understood that the so-called swallowing demon box merely released a very special black energy that could block all light.

Its purpose was, firstly, to instill fear in opponents, and secondly, to provide a suitable living environment for those lingering souls.

However, these things were useless to him. He had seen many lingering souls and didn't care about them in the slightest. As for the darkness, it couldn't block his Divine Sense at all. While others couldn't see anything, he saw everything clearly.

From another perspective, the black mist released by the swallowing demon box not only caused him no trouble but, on the contrary, indirectly helped him; it was a complete Divine assist.

Tanaka Masao, however, didn't know this and said smugly, "People of Huaxia, now you know the power of our Great Dog Country's Onmyoji, don't you?"

Sato Tomohisa said from the side, "Tanaka, don't let your things ruin his Physical Body. I'll still have use for it later."

"Alright, if you want it, take it."

Tanaka Masao spoke in an indifferent tone, as if Ye Bufan was already his Possession.

"A bunch of arrogant Old thing."

Ye Bufan first set up a defensive barrier. Although it couldn't dispel the darkness, it protected Changsun Dongju and the others from being harmed by the lingering souls.

Then he submerged into the darkness, followed by a series of miserable screams.

Tanaka Masao's swallowing demon box covered the entire scene indiscriminately, including not only the Tanaka Family members but also those from the Sato family and Miyamoto, who were all enveloped in the black mist.

At this moment, they also couldn't see their hands in front of their faces and had no idea what was happening around them.

In this situation, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Ye Bufan's hand rose and fell, cutting them down like slicing melons and vegetables.

It was pitiful that those Elders whose Cultivation had reached the Heaven Rank had no ability to resist whatsoever. One slice per person, and dozens were killed in the blink of an eye.

One must know that the four Families present were all elite figures. The strong cultivators above Heaven Rank totaled around 100 people. Excluding the twenty-odd people from the Watanabe Family, half of the remaining ones had already been killed by him.

Each person present was like a blind person, feeling immense fear in their hearts upon hearing the screams beside them, yet they were utterly helpless.

They could only desperately wave the weapons in their hands, trying to protect themselves, but in doing so, they unintentionally injured their companions, leading to even more casualties for a time.

In the black curtain, only Tanaka Masao, the caster, could see what was happening. Seeing this scene, his eyes immediately split with rage. He knew that many of those who died were elites of their Tanaka Family.

He had originally intended to kill Ye Bufan, but he never expected to inadvertently provide such a great help to the opponent.

He didn't know how the opponent broke through the black mist's restrictions, but that was no longer important. If this continued, all of them might die.

"Kill him!"

Tanaka Masao let out a furious roar, and in an instant, the lingering spirits in the black mist surged towards Ye Bufan like a tsunami.

"Collect them!"

In this short period, more than half of the people from the three Families had died or were injured. Ye Bufan's goal was basically achieved. He lifted his hand, and the Divine Rank Demon Refining Bottle flew into mid-air.

Immediately, the surrounding black mist and those lingering souls were sucked into the Demon Refining Bottle like water into a powerful range hood.

In a flash, the black mist disappeared, and the surroundings returned to their previous state.

The black mist and lingering spirits from the swallowing demon box were completely sucked dry, and then with a pop, it exploded into a pile of fragments. A Low Grade Spirit Treasure was thus destroyed.

"This…"

Tanaka Masao was both shocked and enraged. He never expected his ultimate trump card to be so easily broken by the opponent, and his Low Grade Spirit Treasure was destroyed just like that.

His attack not only failed to cause any damage to the opponent but, on the contrary, resulted in heavy losses for his side, with forty to fifty people killed.

After their vision returned, the people of the Watanabe Family secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, they had stood with Old Ancestor Ye Bufan, otherwise, they would now be corpses.

The Sato family also suffered heavy losses this time.

Most of their strong cultivators were killed, and even the Family Head, Sato Ieyasu, was injured by his own companions, his left arm bleeding profusely.

Seeing this result, Sato Tomohisa was furious, but then his gaze fell upon the small bottle in Ye Bufan's hand, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Good boy, I didn't expect you to be a Dual Cultivation of Dharma and Martial Arts. You are truly a gift from the Eight-Headed Serpent God to me. I want this bottle of yours, and I will also take your Physical Body."

After speaking, he let out a sharp cry, "Soul-Devouring Dharma Eye!"

Then he slapped his forehead, and his glabella actually split open, revealing an incredibly eerie black pupil.

That black pupil flickered with an evil color, looking like a demonic eye. Almost at this moment, his original two eyes also completely turned black, and then shot out an eerie black light.

"People of Huaxia, this Soul-Devouring Dharma Eye was refined by me after half a lifetime of comprehension. My Physical Body is about to decay, so I'll take yours for my use."

Sato Tomohisa said, letting out a wild laugh.

It turned out that he was just an obscure figure in the Sato family before. By chance, he discovered a strange eyeball in a tomb.

At that time, this eyeball was inside a coffin. The previous body had completely rotted, even the bones had turned into dregs, but this eyeball was strangely intact.

Out of curiosity, he placed this eyeball on his forehead, and unexpectedly, it strangely integrated into his body.

From then on, he found his Mental Energy soaring, and his Cultivation of術法 was ten times or even more faster than others, eventually rising to become a core figure of the Sato family.

Later, he went into seclusion to Cultivate, reaching the Realm of a Holy Rank Cultivator. It could be said that his life's achievements were entirely thanks to this eyeball.

This Soul-Devouring Dharma Eye was a secret technique he had comprehended. He had only used it a few times in his life, but each time it was used, it was invincible. It could control a person's mind and even perform Possession of another's Physical Body.

Although his Cultivation had reached the Holy Rank, his lifespan was still limited. Having lived for over 100 years, he was eager to find a suitable Physical Body for himself.

Today, he happened to see Ye Bufan. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but later he discovered that the opponent, though young, had already reached the Holy Rank and was even a Dual Cultivation of Dharma and Martial Arts.

If such a Physical Body could be possessed, the future prospects would be immeasurable. It was precisely because of this that this Old thing had a crooked idea, intending to perform Possession with his powerful Mental Energy.
