Yellow Sparrow

"Ancestor of the Japanese? Another ancient monster who’s lived for who knows how long~"

Chuchenzi was almost in tears. What kind of people had come to his Qingyun Temple today?! Yue Qiluo’s seniority was higher than his, Wu Xin was mysterious, and now there was a spirit whom the Japanese called their ancestor. What was going on?!

"I heard Wu Xin say that Bai Liuli was a great sorcerer during the Tang Dynasty~"

Li Yueya held her gun and swept her gaze across the battlefield as she answered Chuchenzi’s question.

"The Tang Dynasty~ Over a thousand years ago~"

Chuchenzi was about to explode. Wasn’t this a thousand-year-old ghost, the supreme Ghost King? He was even more senior than Yue Qiluo.

Clang~

Gu Xuanwu was slaughtering his way across the battlefield. With his treasured saber in hand, he felt invincible. Among the few Reincarnators attacking him, the strongest was Ling Wei, a vampire. Unfortunately, it was broad daylight, with the sun blazing overhead. He didn’t dare turn himself into a roasted bat, so he couldn’t display his full strength. Then Gu Xuanwu had tricked and seriously wounded him. He was suffering terribly.

As for the others, they were either newcomers or Japanese ronin temporarily recruited by Shirakawa Rin. They were decent enough at ordinary fighting, but how could they defeat Gu Xuanwu, who had fought his way out of piles of corpses, in a battle to the death? A whole group of them was being chased around by one man in total disarray.

Wu Xin and Shirakawa Rin were more evenly matched. With the help of several Japanese ronin, that elderly Reincarnator mustered his courage and temporarily held Wu Xin back. Bai Liuli, meanwhile, kept exchanging spells with Shirakawa Rin, competing in their individual magical power.

"What a great chance! Let’s aim at them and shoot!"

Chuchenzi wasn’t useless either. Seeing that there seemed to be no one nearby, he repeatedly urged Li Yueya to shoot at Shirakawa Rin and the others.

Bang! Bang!

With two gunshots, Li Yueya’s marksmanship was actually better than Chuchenzi’s. One shot struck a ronin in the chest. The ronin fell to the ground and wailed, but he didn’t suffer the same serious reaction as Ling Wei.

"The blood on the blade has no effect on ordinary people. Don’t be afraid. Take his saber first, and he won’t be able to do anything."

Ling Wei immediately formed a conjecture and hurriedly directed several Japanese ronin to surround Gu Xuanwu.

"Ha!"

The ronin attacked Gu Xuanwu together, Tachi in hand. Gu Xuanwu welcomed them all, sweeping their blades aside with a flourish before engaging them in an evenly matched fight.

"Brat, today I’ll show you how powerful your Grandpa Bai is. Your ancestor is still your ancestor!"

Bai Liuli shouted fiercely. White light surged between his hands as he formed hand seals, disrupting the connection between Shirakawa Rin and the Bronze Mirror. He intended to take down this unfilial descendant from a foreign land, separated from him by who knew how many generations.

Boom~

Two waves of light battled constantly in midair. The gusts of force they unleashed made it difficult to stand. Aside from Shirakawa Rin and Bai Liuli, there was no one else near their battlefield.

"Get lost!"

Wu Xin kicked a Japanese ronin away, but several more immediately surrounded him. He was now at a loss in the face of the situation.

These Reincarnators had grown clever. After learning that Wu Xin’s blood was useless against ordinary people, they stopped acting as the main combatants. Instead, they took on support roles, occasionally launching underhanded attacks at Wu Xin and Gu Xuanwu.

Pfft~

Shirakawa Rin suddenly spat a mouthful of blood onto the Bronze Mirror. White light instantly surged from within it. At the moment his magical power overwhelmed Bai Liuli’s, he suddenly detonated the power he had released.

Boom~

Caught off guard by Shirakawa Rin’s vicious move, Bai Liuli was sent flying by the explosion. His spirit became unstable, and his entire form turned into a tiny point of light before crashing back into the White Chicken inside the basket.

"Bai Liuli~"

Wu Xin became extremely anxious when he saw this. Though two Tachi pierced his body from either side, the dagger in his hand instantly slashed across the two attackers’ throats. He then endured the intense pain, pulled out the two Tachi, and charged out with a blade in each hand. Fighting by trading wounds for wounds, he was still impossible for anyone to stop.

Pfft~

Shirakawa Rin did not pursue his victory. After knocking Bai Liuli back, he collapsed directly onto the ground. Large mouthfuls of blood poured from his mouth, clearly showing that his condition was far from good.

"Mr. Shirakawa~"

Ling Wei and several other Reincarnators hurried over to help Shirakawa Rin up. He was the strongest fighter on their side. If he fell just like this, they probably wouldn’t escape Wu Xin’s relentless pursuit.

"Hurry! Go seize that White Chicken! I seriously wounded Great Sorcerer Bai Liuli’s spirit. He won’t be able to use magic for a month. If you take away his host body, you can carry him off!"

Shirakawa Rin pointed at the White Chicken in Wu Xin’s arms. He had paid a tremendous price for this thing.

"Everyone, charge and take it!"

Ling Wei shouted and led the others forward. Bai Liuli was not their primary target, but that White Chicken had tripped them up so many times along the way. This was the perfect opportunity to remove that thorn in their side once and for all.

"Yueya, take Bai Liuli and leave first. Lord Gu and I will hold them off."

Wu Xin decisively handed Bai Liuli over to Li Yueya, then charged at those ill-intentioned men together with Gu Xuanwu.

Awooo~

Just as Wu Xin, Gu Xuanwu, and Ling Wei’s group engaged in battle, a wolf’s howl suddenly rang out. Wu Xin’s expression changed instantly. This was the howl of the Wolf Demon that had once seriously wounded him.

Before he could react, a phantom suddenly swept past Ling Wei and the other Reincarnators, who were standing behind the ronin and directing them. The Reincarnators were sent flying one after another, hurtling toward Wu Xin.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The several Reincarnators, Ling Wei included, slammed directly into Wu Xin. Two unlucky ones even had their skin touch Wu Xin’s wounds, and their screams were utterly heart-wrenching.

"Ah! Wu Xin~"

Wu Xin was dazed from being hit. Just as he was preparing to rise and face the enemy, Li Yueya’s scream instantly brought him back to his senses.

Wu Xin turned his head and saw Chuchenzi tossed into a corner like garbage, blood covering his nose and mouth. In front of Li Yueya, a giant upright White Wolf was snarling and preparing to attack.

"Yueya~"

Pinned beneath a group of Reincarnators, Wu Xin was unable to break free for the moment. Seeing Yueya helpless, his eyes nearly split with rage. He roared and tried to charge over, but he could not.

Awooo~

The humanoid White Wolf moved swiftly. One huge claw snatched away the basket containing Bai Liuli from Yueya’s hands, while another claw gripped Yueya by the throat and lifted her into the air.

Bang! Bang!

Gu Xuanwu had already reached the Werewolf’s back by then, but the Werewolf nimbly dodged both shots. Then it turned and placed Yueya in front of itself as a shield, its beastly eyes filled with viciousness.

"Let her go~"

Gu Xuanwu stood with his saber raised, but with Yueya in the enemy’s hands, he was unable to advance or retreat. By then, Yueya’s face had reddened. Her struggles were growing weaker, and it was clear she wouldn’t last much longer.
