Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 68 Northeast Shaman

"Damn it, I didn't expect so many experts to be lying in ambush here."

On the street, a man emanating black smoke from his entire body was locked in a fierce battle with a group of Japanese soldiers and other strange beings.

A hideous snake head emerged from the black mist rising from the man's body, and the beast bone beads wrapped around his ten fingers emitted a ghostly blue light.

Three translucent snake heads emerged from the black mist, opening their blood-red mouths to bite at the throat of the charging ninja.

The next instant, the three ninjas were killed.

"Those little devils dare to run wild outside the Great Wall!"

The man spat out a mouthful of blood, and a faint black snake phantom appeared on his body.

He glanced around at the growing number of enemies, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"There are more and more people. It seems that relying solely on Master Kunsheng's power to force our way out is not enough. We'll have to ask Master Kunsheng to possess us directly!"

The next second, the man formed a hand seal, stomped his foot on the ground, and shouted loudly, "Boy Gao Qing, please invite Master Kunsheng to possess me!"

As Gao Qing finished speaking, a fierce and malevolent aura descended from the sky and eventually entered Gao Qing's body.

In an instant, Gao Qing's entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.

At this moment, his aura was beyond human description; it was cold and brutal, as if the temperature within a hundred meters of him had dropped several degrees!

"Little brat, I told you not to come, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, I, an old man, have to step in and lead you out of here."

Gao Qing opened his mouth in a sinister tone, and as he spoke, his tongue stuck out like a snake's tongue!
Upon witnessing this scene and hearing the name Gao Qing, Zhao Zhen immediately recognized the man's identity—a member of the Gao family, one of the four major families.

As for the ability he just used, it is called "summoning the spirits to possess him." The Northeast Shaman lineage does not cultivate their own magic like the strange people in the Central Plains. Instead, they form contracts with the five great immortals of "Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu, and Hui"—that is, fox, weasel, hedgehog, snake, and rat—to summon their spirits to possess them in battle.

Those who can summon spirits to possess them are also known as spirit mediums.

When possessed by a deity, the possessed person's body undergoes a partial transformation into a beast, significantly increasing attributes such as strength, speed, and defense.

The main abilities of shamans in Northeast China are to use the power of "spirits" through generations of family worship and the establishment of contracts through specific rituals.

As for the Gao family, they are probably the family with the lowest profile among the four.

Aside from meeting the head of the Gao family at the Lu family's birthday banquet, Zhao Zhen had only met the Gao family members when he visited them years ago.

Although both are "four families", the Gao family is clearly more like the "recluse" among the four major families, and in later generations, they chose to maintain their influence by relying on companies.

As for why the Gao family did this, Zhao Zhen guessed that it was probably related to the fact that the Gao family's influence was mainly in the Northeast.

During the years of war, Northeast China was occupied by the Japanese for the longest period of time, but the Gao family, as one of the four families, always firmly chose to resist the foreign enemy.

This is equivalent to constantly causing trouble on someone else's territory. The impact of the Japanese retaliation on the Gao family's power is unimaginable.

The fact that later generations relied on the company was likely a helpless move after the family's fortunes declined.

Just as Zhao Zhen was hiding in the shadows, deep in thought, Gao Qing, who was possessed by Liu Kunsheng, began to go on a killing spree.

Originally, "immortals" who have cultivated themselves into spirits should be forbidden from killing, because killing too many people would awaken their ferocity as wild beasts, which would only bring harm and no benefit to their future cultivation.

After all, for these "immortals," the more they shed their animalistic wildness and cultivate themselves to resemble humans, the deeper their cultivation is considered to be. But right now, Liu Kunsheng is attacking without any restraint, each move killing instantly, showing no mercy, as if he doesn't even consider these Japanese devils as human beings.

In response, Zhao Zhen silently gave it a thumbs up from the shadows.

On this land, even beasts try every means to attain human form, but these little devils refuse to be human and insist on becoming beasts!
What's there to say? Just kill them all!
Meanwhile, inside the Yuntai Hotel.

Fujita Kazumasa, who was holding a glass of red wine to entertain the guests, also received a report from his subordinates. However, upon hearing the news, he showed no panic on his face. Instead, he swirled the red wine in his glass with great interest.

“Shaman, huh? These Chinese, even after their army has fled, they still won’t give up. Send Eita to deal with them.”

"Yes, sir!"

"Eita? Commander Fujita, I've heard he's the wielder of the cursed sword 'Hirumaru' from the Hieiyama ninja clan, a peerless sword. Isn't this a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

"Heh, what a load of crap, just a bunch of rats hiding in the shadows."

With the holy war imminent, the higher-ups have repeatedly asked these people to come out of seclusion and assist in the holy war, but these people just want to seek fame and fortune and are only willing to send a small group of people over first.

To be honest, it's no wonder that someone so disloyal to the Emperor was betrayed and banished to the mountains.

"Commander Fujita, don't say that. At least as a tool for killing, no one in the country is more adept at using these than the Ninja Gang of Aoyama."

"That's true. After all, there are quite a few extraordinary people in China, and their abilities are incredibly diverse. What's the name of that one who's been active lately..."

"You mean Zhao Zhen?"

"Yes, that's him. Have the Hieiyama ninja deal with him as soon as possible. His abilities are too dangerous, and he will be a major threat to us in the future Holy War."

"Yes!"

"Haha, Sakata-kun, don't be so reserved. Let them kill their own things, we'll do ours. I promise you, tonight will definitely be a wonderful night."

Come, gentlemen, let me raise a toast to tomorrow's holy war!

……

On the other side, Zhao Zhen, who had witnessed Liu Kunsheng's incredible prowess as he charged towards the city gate, was about to leave when he realized that things seemed to be going well.

Suddenly, a terrifying killing intent rushed into Zhao Zhen's senses.

"Such astonishing killing intent..."

Zhao Zhen was secretly alarmed, and while squinting, he looked at the figure on the city wall.

Suddenly, a seemingly unremarkable young man appeared to be standing silently on the city wall.

The young man was wearing a black Japanese school uniform, with bluish-gray eyes and hair, and holding a Japanese sword that exuded a strong sense of ferocity.

Just as Zhao Zhen was scrutinizing the young man, the man turned his head toward Zhao Zhen as well!
The moment their eyes met, Zhao Zhen's gaze sharpened slightly as he watched the cruel smile gradually spread across the man's lips.

"Looks like I've been found out..."
