Chapter 167

No sooner said than done!

Before the words had even faded, black mud surged around the Greed Demon, rapidly stretching and twisting to form dozens of figures.

They were actually the corrupted figures of former Tokyo heroes, each radiating murderous intent, surrounding the three Valkyrie Magical Girls to isolate them from Jingo Rin!

At the same time, the Fallen Beauty Fox Hyogen soared into the air, chanting rapidly: "Miga, Sanaye, Svaha—!"

As the incantation echoed, her entire body transformed into blue water, instantly morphing into a roaring water dragon, carrying boundless spell power, and attacking Jingo Rin directly!

However, Jingo Rin only slightly raised the katana in her hand.

Crimson flames instantly surged, the blade like flowing fire, and with a single slash, it was done without any effort.

Boom!!

The roaring water dragon was severed in mid-air. The spell exploded and collapsed, and along with Hyogen's body, it was swallowed by the crimson flames!

After the firelight passed, the once imposing Fallen Beauty Fox turned into a puddle of black mud fragments, hissing and writhing as they rolled back, surprisingly shrinking back into Hyogen's shell, which lay on the ground with eyes rolled back!

—Perhaps everyone still remembers that Jingo Rin's red divine fire can not only weaken the divine power of the silver coin, but can even burn the foolish evil god Sasa.

So far, no one knows the reason, and even less is known about where Jingo Rin's divine power comes from; it is completely unreasonable.

This sight even left the Greed Demon speechless.

"It seems that my father sending me to kill you was not entirely a whim."

Jingo Rin merely shook her katana, her expression indifferent, as if she had only done a trivial thing,

"My flames can indeed restrain you silver coin Demon Kings. I possess the ability to stop Qi Xing from falling into evil ways and help him pull back from the brink."

"Come."

"He has already killed two Demon Kings; I cannot fall too far behind."

"Leave your head behind."

Volume 4: Evil Magic City Tokyo: 155: You Win Win Win

Thunder roared, fierce winds howled, and rain lashed against the overpass;

these abnormal celestial phenomena were summoned by the will of the Greed Demon.

The fierce wind, heavy rain, and lightning all made his mythical power stronger.

However, with a wave of Jingo Rin's blazing katana, the crimson divine fire shone brilliantly, slicing through the storm and lightning in a crisscross pattern.

The Black God Shrine Maiden's crimson divine fire can sever the divine power of the Creator of Darkness.

To block and contend with this blade of red fire, dark, demonic black mud warriors continuously crawled out from under the Greed Demon's feet, swarming forward.

The black mud and the brilliant crimson flames fought fiercely, sparks scattering everywhere.

They could not contend with the crimson fire of evil-breaking, and the continuously defeated black mud warriors all shattered and disappeared, crumbling into dust.

These evil-hearted black mud warriors only disappeared temporarily when blasted by Qi Xing, because the power of the silver coin still bound their evil hearts.

This is like how Qi Xing's [Dominion] cannot be easily broken by other Silver Coin Messengers; it is an equal principle between them.

—However, Jingo Rin's crimson flames truly burned away this control of the silver coin.

The fire of crimson transformation can even destroy the soul, so those whose evil hearts are burned away by her will likely face true death.

These black mud warriors were once heroes who guarded Tokyo's peace, but they were defeated by the Greed Demon, corrupted, had their evil hearts extracted, and were made into slaves.

Yet Jingo Rin could burn them all to death without hesitation. She didn't feel there was anything wrong with it at all.

For the Greed Demon, who constantly lures people into corruption and accumulates black mud, she is truly the most terrifying opponent.

"Don't tangle with her, go and block those Valkyries!"

The Greed Demon could only order the black mud, while he himself attacked Jingo Rin.

If directly using the power of the silver coin would be severed by the red fire katana, then is the Demon King so restrained by Jingo Rin that he cannot win?

Not necessarily. Qi Xing had also defeated Jingo Rin once during a martial arts competition.

Divine power surged again, lightning tore through the night sky, and heavy rain fell like a waterfall.

With a thunderous boom, the Greed Demon's whole body shook violently, his arm muscles bulging and bones twisting; amidst crackling sounds, snowy white bone spurs violently ejected from under his skin, turning into thorn-like weapons growing out of his arms!

Not only that, but the skin on his back also bulged violently, splitting into several openings, and dozens of black arms grew wildly from the splits on his back, each palm being a rugged bone blade.

Ironically, this spell ability of the Greed Demon actually felt like an alien version of the "Thousand-Armed Guanyin"!

"Can you still cut through this?"

The Greed Demon sneered in a low voice, dozens of arms dancing in unison, and countless bone blades immediately slashed over with a piercing whistling sound, instantly covering half the space of the elevated road!

Jingo Rin, however, showed no fear.

The blazing katana burned with radiance, her moves broad and bold, fire flashing and crossing, cutting gaps through the spiderweb-like intersection of bone blades.

The god-person unleashed a storm of hellfire, the crimson flames swirling like a tornado to shatter the bone blades; the Greed Demon, however, relied on a thousand arms to forcibly resist, his Demon King body seemingly turning into a forest of white bones.

Fire and bone collided, ringing like blacksmithing.

Boom, boom, boom!

Even the storm was to be slashed and burned away; this was a mythical battlefield where red fire and white bone fought.

On the other side of the battlefield, those black mud warriors not yet destroyed by the red fire bypassed the god-person and fought in a melee with the three Valkyrie Magical Girls, preventing them from aiding their Young Lady!

Each Valkyrie Magical Girl wore beautiful attire, holding light spears, thunder bows, and fire swords that looked like the reappearance of myths, fighting against the black mud without retreating, their figures dancing like fierce winds, drawing gorgeous trajectories on the bridge deck.

Although none were enough to contend with the Greed Demon, they used strong will and tacit cooperation to hold the flanks, just to protect the Young Lady's battle situation.

And Jingo Rin stood like a god amidst the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, holding her blazing katana high!

The Greed Demon, like a thousand-armed demon god, slashed with a thousand hands in the rain, firing bone spurs, actually holding a stalemate with this terrifying god-person!

—This was the battle between the Demon King and the god-person.

Directly using the authority would be restrained by Jingo Rin's red divine fire, so he could only use the silver coin to strengthen his spells, martial arts, and abilities.

If a half-baked Demon King only knew how to rely on the authority of the silver coin and had no real ability of his own, they would be slaughtered like cutting vegetables by the god-person who annihilates Demon Kings.

Every attack, every defense, was an earth-shaking impact.

The rain became increasingly torrential, and the entire overpass had turned into a Shura battlefield.

If the battle continued to escalate, then not only would the wind and clouds be shaken, and the heaven and earth rumble, but even the land and oceans would be evaporated.

Perhaps even Mount Fuji in the suburbs of Tokyo would erupt as a result.

—How many casualties would this tumultuous night bring to Tokyo?

Was it, as Hinata said, that if one didn't fight the black from the beginning, and didn't start the so-called "war between good and evil," one could avoid more innocent deaths?

The right and wrong of this matter, I fear, is a matter of opinion, and there is no objective standard.

Qi Xing would not allow this to happen, so once the battle evolved to this point, he would definitely open the Inner Realm and seal both sides inside to avoid affecting the human world.

But Jingo Rin neither cared about such things nor possessed such power.

She did not have the desire to flow outward and repaint or create the world like Qi Xing and the Greed Demon.

She now only had the will to aim for the Greed Demon's head and cut it off with one slash.

…But this leads to a strange question.

Why hasn't the Greed Demon unfolded his own Inner Realm like Qi Xing, dragged Jingo Rin into Magic City Tokyo, regained the home-field advantage, and broken the stalemate?

Is it that he doesn't want to?

Could it be, just as Sasa couldn't sense the Greed Demon's silver coin in the Northeast before, that this guy's usage of the silver coin is fundamentally different from Qi Xing's?

Regardless, Jingo Rin didn't care about such things.

In such a sustained tug-of-war, Jingo Rin could persist quite calmly.

As long as they fought for a few more minutes, Qi Xing would come sooner or later.

By then, even if the Greed Demon didn't die, he would only be able to flee back to his Magic City Tokyo in a sorry state, and might even really be killed here by the two of them.

"I don't mind dealing with both of you here."

—But why did the Greed Demon himself, his expression, seem not anxious at all?

At this, Jingo Rin just raised an eyebrow, vaguely having some realization:

"So I really can't kill you here?"

This guy, the Greed Demon, neither opens his own Inner Realm in the outside world, nor lets the devil himself sense his silver coin in the Northeast.

I fear he is simply hiding something more fundamental in his own Inner Realm, hidden in the depths of his—Magic City Tokyo.

As long as that source does not move, the Greed Demon will always be fearless.

Even if Qi Xing arrived here immediately and the two of them defeated the Greed Demon once together, I fear it would only make him suffer a setback, and not lead to a complete defeat.

"What a wishy-washy thing."

Although it was just a guess based on intuition, Jingo Rin was full of confidence in her judgment.

She is different from Elaine and Qi Xing; she does not rely on logical reasoning or knowledge to perceive things.

Because she is, after all, a child of God (shrine maiden), and relies on intuition to grasp divine power.

Now that she had guessed it, she wouldn't hide it.

While fighting endlessly, she spoke directly, coldly mocking:

"Standing in a place where you absolutely cannot lose, yet you still dare to mock the man (prey) I have taken a fancy to?"

"Wanting everything, occupying everything, unwilling to lose anything, wanting to win in every situation—this is what 'greed' is."

But the Greed Demon was not angry, just accepting it calmly, without a shred of shame.

Just at this moment, an earth-shattering thunderclap suddenly sounded in the night sky far away in Tokyo, coming from afar.

The Greed Demon heard it, his expression shifted, and then his smile became arrogant—very good, Master Leipu had indeed defeated the dark evil immortal Yatsufusa Eiichi!

Since that was the case, he must have already sensed the collision of divine power here and would arrive soon!

Thinking of Qi Xing about to witness Hinata's decapitation, and that demon-repelling beauty fox still spraying excrement and rolling its eyes, the Greed Demon could not suppress it and laughed with pleasure—hehehe, this scene would surely give Master Leipu endless surprises!

Piercing his nerves fiercely, the more he loses, the more it will help him achieve enlightenment!

"Miss Jingo, it seems my head will have to be left for our next meeting."

As he spoke in retaliation, the Greed Demon could already feel from afar that Master Leipu's true energy was surging violently.

Clearly, Qi Xing was accelerating his flight, and soon he would—

—The next moment, the Greed Demon's face changed.

And as for Jingo Rin, she also suddenly looked up, looking at the very high sky, somewhere in the atmosphere at least thirty kilometers away, revealing a look of surprise:

"As expected of Qi Xing. I really couldn't have thought of this move."

"Fujiwara Eiga, how are you feeling now?"

What did Qi Xing do?

Why were both the Greed Demon and Jingo Rin now so shocked?

The answer is actually quite simple.

After killing the old dark evil immortal, he lifted the Inner Realm, returned to the real Tokyo, and sensed from afar that Jingo Rin and the Greed Demon were fighting on the overpass tens of kilometers away.

But he did not fly over to help immediately.

After a moment of contemplation, Qi Xing instead made a quite bold decision.

Taking advantage of the Greed Demon and Jingo Rin's battle, he forcibly extracted the method to enter Magic City Tokyo from Yatsufusa Eiichi's soul.

Then, without any hesitation, he only sent a message to Elaine, and immediately, without a word, flew straight toward the top—

—Flying at extreme speed toward that otherworld, Magic City Tokyo, which was hidden thirty kilometers above Tokyo, hidden in a different phase, outside the present world!

"Are you kidding me?!"

This was something even the Greed Demon never expected!

Master Leipu actually didn't worry about his comrade immediately and fly over to reinforce Jingo Rin?

Why?!

Abandoning his teammate, taking advantage of the enemy and teammate fighting to go steal the base—is this something Master Leipu would do?!

Sigh, for other teammates, Qi Xing really wouldn't dare to do such a thing!

He would really be worried!

But for Jingo Rin, Qi Xing had a definite sense of reassurance.

Without needing to rely on logic, he knew by intuition—the Greed Demon couldn't do anything to Jingo Rin.

And when Qi Xing besieged Wei to rescue Zhao and broke into Magic City Tokyo, when the Greed Demon got anxious… Heh, who would end up being done what, it's really hard to say!

Before the words had even faded, Jingo Rin's red fire blade had already slashed toward the Greed Demon's neck, attacking where the enemy must save!

She actually wanted to take advantage of Qi Xing going to steal the base to turn around and drag the Greed Demon in place!

This slash was as fast as divine judgment.

At the critical moment, even the Greed Demon couldn't fully react in time, and could only suddenly twist his body, blocking the slash with his arm and shoulder!

—Boom!!!

The flames exploded, the Greed Demon's shoulder was instantly split open by the divine fire, thick smoke and blood qi flew, and even half an arm was completely incinerated by the crimson flames!

With a low roar, his face twisted in this instant, revealing rare anger and fear!

But at the same time, his body also began to twist.
