After calming down for a while, he finally looked at Mei Isayama beside him and decided to lay his cards on the table.

"Sister Ming, can you tell me?"

"Why must we put Sister Huangquan to death?"

By paying someone to summon "Heaven and Tyrant," they had no intention of letting Isayama Yomi live.

"It's clear that Sister Huangquan has always respected you and regarded you as her role model."

The girl sitting next to Kenmei Isayama is the one who hired Fushiguro Jinji to kill Yomi-nee for over eight million yen.

Mei Isayama makes no indication that he's the kind of guy who would hire someone to commit murder.

Hearing the name from Fushiguro's mouth was nothing short of absurd; Kenmei Isayama never imagined that one day a drama of "fratricide among the elite" would unfold in his own home.

If Yomi Isayama is dead, then Mei Isayama is the first in line to succeed him.

Just as Isayama Kenmei said, Yomi-nee takes Mei-nee as her role model, which is the main reason why Isayama Kenmei couldn't tell her the reason.

"Xiao Ming, although I don't know how you knew."

After hearing Isayama Kenmei's words, Isayama Mei did not refute them; she simply stated a fact in calm terms.

"Unfortunately, that's just who I am."

A gleaming blade was already close to Kenmei Isayama's neck, as if it were about to behead him.

"Why is it like this?"

The next second, a steel knife was much faster than her, piercing straight through Isayama Mei's chest, the filthy blood staining her elegant kimono.

"It's Fushiguro Jinji," he said to Isayama Kenmei in a mocking tone.

"Boss, you're chatting with a cursed spirit, calling her 'sister' this and 'sister' that. Doesn't that get creepy?"

Chapter 76 What are your feelings when you swing your sword?

"Boom"

Countless rubble and roof tiles scattered with the sound of collapse, and two figures leaped out from the dust, landing steadily on the ground. These were Kenmei Isayama and Shigeji Fushiguro.

The Isayama branch family residence before them was shattered by the rampant release of magical power, completely enveloped in smoke. Only a flash of red light cleaved through the pervasive smoke.

Against the backdrop of shattered ruins, a graceful figure is walking slowly towards us.

“This is amazing, this is my power.”

Isayama Mei's cool, red lips curved slightly upward, and she cupped her pale face in her hands, revealing a blissful smile.

Bathed in the rich crimson curse energy, she swayed gracefully, her long white hair billowing with the fluctuations of the curse energy. Her blood-red pupils were filled with a mixture of "bloodlust" and "madness," two insane emotions intertwined, shimmering with a bewitching light.

"If I had possessed this power earlier, the right to inherit the Isayama family would have been mine long ago."

The pale blue, tattered, and elegant kimono of Isayama Mei was half-stained red with blood seeping from the wound. This was the damage caused by Fukuro Shinji earlier with the Tennishoku. The initial piercing of the body was just an appetizer. In the end, he almost severed Isayama Mei's body along with half of his shoulder.

Since Fuheshner has decided to take action, he will definitely not hold back. Pity, sympathy, or compassion seem to be emotions that never appear in this unruly man.

Even if it wasn't a cursed spirit in front of him, a woman? He would still chop her down without hesitation.

But now, apart from his tattered clothes, there was no sign that Isayama Mei had been split in two by the Heavenly Reversal Blade. As the crimson curse power lit up, the several hideous wounds on his front gradually healed, revealing his rosy and fair skin.

"Sister Ming."

Kenmei Isayama looked at Isayama Akira, who was completely different from the one in his memory, and the sadness on his face flashed by, turning into utter coldness.

Although she had a bad feeling from the faint smell of corpse on Sister Ming earlier, when she saw that Sister Ming was almost unharmed after being injured by Fu Heishen, even though the injuries that would have killed ordinary people or even a sorcerer specializing in physical combat were severe, her bad feeling was confirmed.

Kenmei Isayama has lost another sister, in a true physical sense.

The current Mei Isayama was probably killed by some unknown entity, which then possessed his body, amplified the malice in his heart, and controlled him by his obsessions from earlier years.

"Alas, it is the Isayama family that has wronged you."

Before Yomi was adopted, the original heir of the Isayama family was indeed Isayama Mei. She was mainly burdened by her father's shameful experiences in his early years, which is why she was looked down upon by Isayama Naraku, Isayama Kenmei's uncle, and adopted Yomi, who was more talented than Mei, as his goddaughter.

It would be abnormal to not feel resentment when everything that should have been taken away from you by "outsiders".

Therefore, in his early years, Mei Isayama desperately wanted to prove that he was qualified to shoulder the future of the Isayama family. Even when his professional title was only a second-level sorcerer, he dared to exorcise two first-level cursed spirits by himself.

Although she was successful, the injuries she sustained required 72 hours of emergency treatment in the ICU before she was brought back from the brink of death.

Even so, Isayama Kenmei's uncle, Isayama Naraku, still gave the "Nue," symbolizing the legitimacy of the Isayama family, to Yomi-nee and announced it in front of many guests during her coming-of-age ceremony.

Isayama Kenmei remembers it clearly: at that time, the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground, her eyes were red, and then she lowered her head and hurriedly left the banquet hall.

When he finally found Sister Ming, she was curled up in a corner, crying all by herself.

The location was their favorite secret spot in the ancestral home of the Isayama family when they were children. On the wall, there are a few crooked words carved: "Xiao Mei, Sakura, me, Yomi, the four of us will always be together!" It was carved by Mei's older sister with a knife when they were children.

After a moment of silence, Sister Ming said, "Maybe if something isn't meant to be, it just won't be. It's better to let go sooner rather than later. Forcing it will only hurt the relationship between the four of you."

Isayama Kenmei understood that although Mei-nee-san harbored resentment towards Yomi-nee-san.

I hate her, but not to the point of wanting Sister Huangquan dead.

Fortunately, he and Isayama Sakura can act as a mediator in this world. Otherwise, given that both Isayama Yomi and Isayama Mei have aloof personalities, they might really have become estranged and even turned against each other.

Now that the truth has been revealed, Mei-nee has been exonerated, but the price she paid was extremely high, so high that Kenmei Isayama could hardly accept it.

Of the four people in the picture, only two remain.

"Crazy woman."

With a murderous look on his face, Fuheishen held the back of his knife to his neck and sneered, showing utter disdain. Just as he was about to strike again,

A voice stopped Fukushige; it was Kenmei Isayama.

"Uncle, can I borrow the Heavenly Reverse Blade?"

"Huh? Boss, isn't my Soul Release Blade still with you?"

"Cut the nonsense."

Fukugoro Jinji has always been a chatterbox, so it's normal for him to grumble at Isayama Kenmei.

When he saw that Kenmei Isayama looked reluctant but had no choice but to give it to him, he simply shook his head.

Both the Soul Release Blade and the "Prospero Blade" will damage the soul. If possible, Kenmei Isayama still wants to keep Mei's soul as intact as possible, freeing it from this body corrupted by filth.

Kenmei Isayama snatched the Tennis Hoko from Fukuro Shige's hand, gripped the sharp blade tightly, and then disappeared from the spot.

The next second, before Isayama Mei could even react, his body was gruesomely torn apart by the blue blade. His torso and arms were ripped to pieces, and hot blood gushed out and splattered everywhere, spraying blood foam into the air.

"This is the first time."

As Kenmei Isayama recovered from his painful groans, he turned around and stepped forward again, gripping his sword in the back of his hand and cleanly slashing several bloody holes at the figure, severing her head without the slightest hesitation.

"The second time"

This Sister Ming is not truly immortal.

Kenmei Isayama noticed that she seemed to lose some energy during her regeneration, as the crimson curse power on her body would decrease.

So as long as you kill enough times, that's enough.

"Sister Ming, may you rest in peace."

Sister Ming's blood kept splattering onto Isayama Kenmei's face and clothes. He couldn't tell if it was blood or something else, but his vision gradually blurred. However, the blade in his hand never stopped.

Isayama Kenmei immediately inflicted a fatal wound on Isayama Kenmei upon his rebirth, repeating the process repeatedly. His decisiveness terrified even Fukuro Shige, especially when he saw him wielding a butcher's knife against his former relatives while his eyes were red with tears.

Until Isayama Kenmei saw that his sister Mei could no longer be restored, a blood-red stone appeared in front of her.

Chapter 77 Killing Stone

"The Killing Stone?"

Fukushige's sudden words made Isayama Kenmei pause in his sword-wielding hand. He was originally preparing to shatter the blood-red stone that had appeared in front of his sister, which looked like a drop of blood, with the Tennis Reversal Blade.

It contains an astonishingly pure, almost tangible evil curse power, like fine sand. If there are no surprises, this thing is the culprit that manipulated Sister Ming, turning her into this inhuman and ghostly state, and is also the source of her regenerative abilities.

This thing gave Isayama Kenmei the feeling that it was a top-grade cursed artifact that had to be sealed once it was discovered. Its effects were unknown. Every time he killed Mei-nee, he consumed the power of this thing.

We don't know how to deal with this strange thing of unknown origin, so let's just smash it as originally planned and release Sister Ming's soul from this body.

When Kenmei Isayama heard Fushiguro Jinji's words, the older man recognized his identity and stopped attacking. Instead, he turned his gaze to Fushiguro Jinji and asked...

"What is that? Explain it clearly."

If we could understand the origin of this thing, Kenmei Isayama might be able to struggle a little longer and find a direction for research.

“Boss, it was when I was still at the Zen Temple that I saw the record in the family’s ancient books by chance a long time ago. I didn’t expect it to actually exist.”

The power of resurrection, the almost limitless magical power, the red stone covered with blood-red patterns, exactly as described in the documents.

Fuheishen crossed his arms in front of him, his face showing surprise, and slowly explained.

"Boss, are you familiar with the so-called Four Great Cursed Spirits of Japan?"

Kenmei Isayama simply shook his head.

While Fukushiro had at least been to the family library, he had never set foot in a place like the Kamo family's before. His understanding of this world mainly came from the books on the world of sorcery left by his parents, so he had no right to look at such things.

"do not know."

Fuhe Shen'er also remained calm. Who isn't like that? Back then, he only wanted to go to the library because he was bored. He would sneak in to read the books as if they were storybooks.

"The Four Great Cursed Spirits represent the four most famous and powerful cursed spirits in Japan."

Sugawara no Michizane, Taira no Masakado, Sugoku no Tenko,

The first three correspond to the three great families of the Japanese sorcery world: the Gojo family, the Zenin family, and the Kamo family. They are said to be descendants of these sorcerers. For example, Gojo Satoru with six eyes is a descendant of Sugawara no Michizane. Their family's ancestral sorcery with no limits may have originated from Sugawara no Michizane's endless resentment.

And the last one is the legendary super cursed spirit Tamamo-no-Mae, the nine-tailed fox.

All the previous ones were people who became cursed spirits after death. This is the only one that was transformed from an animal, and it is also the only super cursed spirit that was killed by ancient sorcerers.

"The Killing Stone comes from the nine-tailed fox. It is said to be formed from the essence and blood of the nine-tailed fox and contains its terrifying power."

"Legend says that if you collect all the Sessho-seki stones, you can summon the real nine-tailed fox."

Isayama Kenmei was slightly taken aback. Why would Sister Mei be involved in such a troublesome matter? What exactly happened before she died?

Since the appearance of the Sesshoseki, Mei-nee has stopped moving and lies quietly in Isayama Kenmei's arms like a doll.
