The huge vajra fell from the sky in response, slowly pressing down, and stabbing at the earth spider with a force as heavy as a mountain.
Compared to the monsters' rough and direct use of their own power, pursuing bold and rapid outbursts, mages will use every bit of spiritual power more meticulously, and are very good at exerting unlimited power from limited strength. The constructed spells are more laborious, but more powerful. This is the spell that Dalian Temple Suzuka has constructed for a long time. It is her full effort as a mage, reflecting the limit of her output as a national first-class exorcist. She is confident that she is no less than any old man in the Onmyoji Hall.
Dare to let a mage prepare a complete killing move? Just wait for death, Dalian Temple thought viciously.
Feeling the tremendous pressure, Tsuchigumo's eyes lit up and he laughed, "Well done!"
Faced with the Vajra Pestle pressing down with tremendous force, he suddenly clasped his arms together and directly grabbed the tip, actually trying to stop it from the front with brute force.
The two forces collided, and the land within a radius of more than ten meters under the strong man's feet instantly sank and collapsed.
This time, Tsuchigumo didn't cope easily. In order to withstand the horrible pressure, he roared and mobilized all his strength. The clothes on his upper body finally couldn't hold on and exploded. Then they were torn into pieces by the energy overflowing from all around, revealing his muscular and strong body underneath. It was clearly visible that every muscle in his body was exerting force, and the blue veins on his muscles swelled to the limit. Because he exerted too much force, the wound on his chest that had begun to heal burst open, and blood gushed out continuously. It looked horrible.
But Tsuchigumo's body remained motionless. The Vajra that pressed down like a mountain shone brightly and burst out with enormous power, but it could not bend his waist or break his posture. At the moment when Dalianji Suzuka's all-out attack was madly outputting the maximum power, Tsuchigumo held her firmly.
Dalian Temple Suzuka did not believe in evil and maintained the posture of pressing down her palms, outputting her magic power with all her strength, pouring her own spell power into the Vajra Pestle madly, providing it with a constant source of pressure.
She believed that as long as she could break this guy's posture and pierce the demon-subduing pestle into his body, she would be able to cause him great harm.
This infusion of magic power was very depleting for her. She could clearly feel the power draining away quickly. Dalianji Suzuka's face turned pale. She calculated that if she could hold on for another ten or so seconds, her magic power would be exhausted. By then, a wizard without magic power would be in the most dangerous situation, losing most of his means of resistance.
But during this period of time, Tsuchigumo's power showed no signs of weakening at all. Instead, his aura became stronger and stronger. Although he was constantly resisting and consuming energy, his strength seemed to be endless and became stronger and stronger.
Although the Vajra Pestle was clearly maintaining its maximum force, its downward speed was getting slower and slower - until a certain moment, it was pushed back a little by the earth spider.
Daliansi stared at the scene with wide eyes, and immediately lost the will to continue fighting. She realized that she could not cause effective damage to this guy by herself. If she continued to wrestle, her magic power would be drained first. So she decided to give up the attack, cut off the supply of magic power, cancel the spell - and then prepare to run away.
"Don't stop."
Just then, a voice rang in her ears.
Dalian Temple was delighted and changed his mind without hesitation, continuing to maintain the ritual and the transfer of magic power.
The person who was coming had already passed by her, leaped into the air, and with great strength, slapped the end of the Vajra Pestle with all his strength.
There was another loud explosion.
The ground beneath the earth spider's feet sank again, and he felt that the Vajra Pestle he was holding suddenly became much heavier. He was caught off guard, and the force was overwhelmed all of a sudden. Finally, he could not hold on any longer, and his hand slipped out of control. He lost his strength and was stabbed heavily by the Vajra Pestle, which pierced through his chest and nailed him into the ground.
In the midst of smoke and dust, the visitor clapped his hands, and after sending the vajra, which lacked some power, into the chest of the sturdy man, he landed next to Dalian Temple Suzuka.
Naturally, Li Nian rushed to the scene.
As soon as he came here, he saw that the park had been destroyed beyond recognition. Nura Rikuo fell to the side, and the only one left was Dalianji Suzuka, who was fighting with a strong man whom she had met once before. She used a powerful technique to crush him into the ground, but she lacked a little strength. Without thinking too much, she directly asked her to continue the technique and followed up with a full-strength palm.
Now that the dust had settled, he was about to turn around and ask Dalian Temple Suzuka what had happened, when he suddenly felt a terrifying aura erupting from the pit behind him.
Daliansi Suzuka, who was about to say something, swallowed back her words with an expression as if she had seen a ghost, and stared blankly behind Li Nian.
Li Nian turned around and looked towards the center of the pit, where a sturdy man was violently pulling out the demon-subduing pestle that was stuck in his chest, leaving blood and flesh behind.
Even a single blow like that couldn't kill it?
Feeling the terrifying, heavy, and increasingly powerful aura emanating from this person, Li Nian had a rare creepy feeling and his eyebrows kept twitching.
Tsuchigumo pulled out the demon-subduing pestle that was stuck in his chest with a rough movement and threw it aside. The weapon transformed by the ritual turned into light spots in the sky and dissipated.
The earth spider slowly got up from the ground, stood up straight again, then looked up at Li Nian who was standing on the edge of the pit and looking down at this side. After seeing his face clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and remembered that this was the exorcist he had met once at a roadside stall.
"It's you, kid... I didn't expect to see you again."
"You've made such a big fuss, I have to come." Li Nian sighed: "I clearly warned you not to cause trouble, and you agreed, didn't you?"
Knowing that the power transmitted from the Demon-Subduing Pestle finally came from this kid, Tsuchigumo curled his lips.
"Isn't he a very strong guy? He actually lied to me and said he was a new exorcist?"
"I didn't lie to you about this."
"Hmph... It doesn't matter what. Anyway, you seem to be stronger than those two little guys. Then it's just right that you came. It's your turn to fight with me."
Li Nian shook his head.
"forget it."
"What?"
Tsuchigumo frowned.
Li Nian looked around.
This guy didn't know how to restrain himself when fighting with Nura Rikuo and Dairenji Suzuka. He had heard the noise from far away in the school, which shows how reckless he was during the fight. Fortunately, the crowd seemed to have been dispersed beforehand and there were not many people around, so the whole park was almost razed to the ground, but in the end no innocent people were affected.
But by now, the whole city naturally knew about it. Police officers had already rushed over and saw Officer Takasaka busy giving orders in the distance. They isolated this place as a spiritual disaster site.
In addition, another group of people have been attracted.
Ye Dou and Fei were standing on the rooftop in the distance, watching this side silently. With these two guys beside him, Li Nian didn't want to fight anymore, because if Feng Jue couldn't be deployed, there was no guarantee that the fight would continue without affecting the surrounding situation, which was something that absolutely needed to be avoided.
"Lord Lu Sheng?!"
I have seen her before, following Nura Rikuo. I remember her name was Snow Onna. She seemed to have been nearby before and was attracted by the noise of the battle. She immediately noticed that Nura Rikuo was seriously injured and unconscious, and hurried to his side, looking at a loss as if she was about to cry.
Nura Rikuo was seriously injured and needed immediate medical treatment. By the time this girl remembered to notify the rest of the Nura group, the entire Nura group would rush over to protect their master, and the situation would become even more difficult to deal with.
Li Nian had intuitively sensed that this strong man was extremely difficult to deal with and that he would definitely not be able to kill him in a short period of time. If he delayed any further and attracted a large number of people and the situation turned into a melee, he really didn't know what would turn out.
"I would like to fight you, but forget it under the circumstances."
The earth spider looked around and understood that this guy had some concerns, but he didn't care.
"What does that have to do with me? Do you think you can stop fighting if you don't want to?"
"You can fight me if you want, but I can just deal with you casually. I don't think anyone will be satisfied that way." Li Nian had long seen what kind of person this guy was. He was obviously a martial arts fanatic who only had fighting in his mind. This was probably the reason for the conflict with Nura Rikuo and Dalian Temple Suzuka. "Anyway, I won't use my full strength in this situation. You can do whatever you want."
Tsuchigumo frowned tightly, smacked his lips slightly in dissatisfaction, and then asked.
"What about changing the time and place, where there are no other guys interfering? Would you be willing to use all your strength?"
"When the time comes, I will accompany you to the end and fight you to my heart's content. After all, I am also short of high-quality sandbags."
"...Okay, remember what you said, I'll wait for you."
Chapter 281 Hidden Events
Without any hesitation, Tsuchigumo believed whatever Li Nian said, as if he didn't consider at all that Li Nian was just trying to fool him and that what he said was just a delaying tactic. He had no doubt that Li Nian would soon accept the invitation and just nodded and agreed.
Then the surging terrifying aura slowly subsided, clearly showing that the big monster had restrained his will to fight.
In fact, Li Nian was still tense at this time, and was ready to continue fighting. He knew that if a fight really broke out, this would be the strongest opponent he had ever met. And from the way the strong man looked just now, it seemed that he was just about to get serious and his blood was gradually rising. It could be predicted that if he really started fighting with such a big monster, it would turn into a very tragic situation.
Although Li Nian was not afraid of this, and even had a little expectation - because being able to fight with such a powerful guy would definitely be a heavy pressure that would allow him to hone his abilities. The joy he felt when fighting with Yatoshin in the past was still imprinted deep in his heart and left a deep memory in his mind. He thought that from this big monster, he would be able to feel that joy again.
But if possible, he really didn't want to start a war at this occasion and at this time. It has already caused too much noise and attracted many forces. If it develops further, it will not only be Li Nian's matter, but will involve many people and turn it into a very troublesome situation.
So now that the strong man has restrained his breath and is willing to temporarily put the fight on hold, Li Nian also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your understanding."
"After all, I owe you a drink. For that reason, I'm giving you a favor today."
Li Nian was stunned. He didn't expect that this man still remembered the meal. He was a little surprised, and then smiled.
The sturdy man turned his head and glanced at the alert Dalian Temple Suzuka and the unconscious Nura Rikuo, as if he had no grudges against them for the injuries and pain he had suffered in the previous battle. He smiled and gave them a thumbs up, saying, "You two are not bad, it's rare that you can let me move my body comfortably. Very good. I hope that next time we meet, you can become stronger, and then we can have a good fight again!"
Still coming? Dalian Temple Suzuka shuddered, subconsciously took a step back, and very rationally chose to remain silent, muttering in her heart: "Got it, next time I'll go around you, okay?"
"gone."
The strong man is leaving.
The Snow Girl who was holding Nura Rikuo stared at the burly man blankly, and suddenly realized that the young master's breath had collided with this guy before, and now the young master was seriously injured and fell to the ground. It should be the guy in front of him who had done this. After realizing this, she immediately changed her usual timid and cute appearance, her face became ferocious, and she roared angrily.
"Wash your neck and wait! We in the Nura group will never let you go!"
If she hadn't been holding Nura Rikuo in her arms, the Snow Girl would have rushed forward to avenge her young master.
Li Nian frowned, and Dalian Temple was also startled.
But the sturdy man waved his hand without even turning his head, not taking this very weighty threat seriously at all, and even laughed loudly.
"Then remember to tell Nurarihyon clearly that I am Tsuchigumo. I will not dodge or evade. I will wait for him to kill me."
When the sturdy man slowly left, he walked out of the main gate of the park in a swagger. At this time, the noise stopped. Officer Takasaka judged that the situation had eased, so he led his team to the scene and had a face-to-face encounter with the sturdy man.
Although he had not dared to come closer before and had no idea what had happened in the park with such a loud commotion, but now seeing a shirtless, wounded burly man walking towards him and seemingly about to leave, he understood that this person must be someone directly related to the incident. Officer Takasaka was about to frown and order the police to stop him for questioning, but he heard Li Nian's voice in his mind.
"Don't stop him, don't ask. You can send two people to follow him, but be careful and don't approach him easily."
Officer Takasaka was stunned and looked up at Li Nian who was standing over there. He saw Dalian Temple Suzuka was also behind him. The child prodigy silently shook his head at him, which also meant that he should not act rashly.
Seeing this, even though it was not quite against the rules, Officer Takasaka understood the danger of this man and did as Li Nian requested. He ordered his men to make way for the strong man. He did not stop him or ask any questions. He just sent a few people to follow him. Then he walked over with a frown, and while scanning the entire park that had been destroyed and full of potholes, he asked Li Nian with a grim expression what had happened.
"You'll have to ask our child prodigy about this."
As Li Nian spoke, he watched the burly man walk away, then turned back to look at Yato and Fei, but they were nowhere to be seen. After making sure they had all left, he went to look at Dalian Temple Suzuka.
In fact, even if Dalian Temple Suzuka didn't say it, he could roughly guess what happened.
Dalianji showed impatience and explained that he was being entangled by the wizard. He also brought up the topic of persuading Yuyuko to join the gang. Unexpectedly, Nura Rikuo followed him secretly without telling her and suddenly appeared. He wanted to catch that guy and launched an attack without authorization, but was stopped by the big monster, which triggered a battle.
"I don't know the other details, so don't keep asking me. I just feel like I somehow provoked a terrifying guy and had this fight for no reason. If anyone is to blame, blame Nura Rikuo for launching the attack without authorization. If he hadn't acted arbitrarily, this fight wouldn't have happened, causing such serious damage. Go ask Nura Group for funds to repair the park!"
The general process was the same as Li Nian guessed, but looking at Dalianji Suzuka who was constantly complaining about Nura Rikuo's unauthorized actions and seemed to think that it was all his fault and was very unhappy about this, Li Nian still realized that she was deliberately changing the subject and was hiding something.
There are also some strange things about Dalian Temple Suzuka's actions. For example, it is not strange that the young mage named Fujiki would come to Dalian Temple, but why didn't she inform me first and chose to go to the appointment alone? Doesn't she know that this is dangerous?
But she obviously didn't want to say more, and Li Nian didn't ask any more questions.
After that, Isayama arrived late, and Shentong didn't have the patience to explain it again, so Li Nian told her the whole story.
In the end, Isayama just smiled bitterly as he glanced at the unrecognizable park, thinking about the many media who were stopped outside by the police. He understood that the subsequent handling would naturally not trouble the prodigy and the independent exorcist Li Nian. She would have to do so many troublesome things alone. She knew that the rest time she had been looking forward to tonight would be used to contact various parties, explain things and complete a large number of reports.
"My life is so miserable..." Jianshan muttered blankly.
Li Nian expressed deep sympathy, but was powerless to help.
Looking at the devastated battle scene, Li Nian sighed.
"This will become big news tomorrow."
The next day, as expected, this huge battle made headlines and was a sudden spiritual disaster, causing widespread discussion.
When Li Nian arrived at school, everyone in the class was talking about this matter excitedly.
"Boom boom boom, it sounds like thunder and an earthquake! Everyone heard it! I heard that the spiritual disaster that happened in the park yesterday was actually a battle between an exorcist and a big monster! It seems that someone saw our first-year "prodigy" there before the spiritual disaster happened!"
"You are here again, Hubu. Stop listening to unreliable gossips like the battle between a great monster and an exorcist. It's clearly said that the explosion was caused by a disorder of the spirit veins and a leak of spirit energy."
Some people laughed and complained, not taking the Ministry of Household Affairs' statement seriously, and brought out the powerful weapon of "official explanation".
In fact, the official explanation of the incident is exactly as this person said.
Yes, the official explanation for this spiritual disaster is "the explosion was caused by a disorder in the spiritual veins and leakage of spiritual energy," just like the cover-up explanation for the spiritual disaster in Kyoto.
Although Li Nian could understand why they did this, after all, the Tsuchigumo was an extremely dangerous monster and could not be dealt with casually. After probably knowing that this guy was the culprit, the top brass of the Onmyoji Bureau made a cold judgment of "pretending nothing happened". However, the public needed a final explanation. In order to maintain the positive image of the exorcist, even if they couldn't actually catch... no, they couldn't catch the culprit who destroyed the park, they still had to find a reason to get away with it. They couldn't just say "We already know who the culprit is but we can't bring him to justice."
But Li Nian still wanted to complain about their explanation which had not changed for thousands of years.
Well, the public doesn’t understand anyway.
If you think about it carefully, there is actually no need to find any other reason. This country has long been accustomed to the sudden situation of spiritual vein imbalance. Most spiritual disasters are indeed caused by this. This is the best reason to cover it up.
However, there were too many eyewitness reports on this incident, whether it was the big monster named Tsuchigumo who left in a swagger, or Dalian Temple Suzuka who was in a panic when she went to the appointment and didn't remember to hide her overly conspicuous identity, both left too many clues. No one knew where the gossipy Tobu got the information from, but it was almost the truth.
"You all have no spirit of seeking the truth! Can you believe the official ones? Hayato, don't you know it too? Didn't Iroha say yesterday that after school, he saw the child prodigy suddenly change his face and run outside? Doesn't this prove that the gossip is true?!" Tobe still wanted to argue.
"That's true." Ye Shan nodded. He heard the first-year girl who was the manager talking about this yesterday during the club activities, but he didn't think it was evidence to confirm the rumor. He shook his head and said, "But what's so strange about an exorcist appearing at the scene of a spiritual disaster? Maybe there were no casualties in the spiritual disaster yesterday because Dalian Temple noticed it early and handled it well."
“This… this is also true?”
"In any case, Ministry of Revenue, you'd better not say anything. Spreading rumors is not good, and conspiracy theories that contradict the official conclusion are even worse. This will make Dalian Temple feel troubled. He is a public figure, and spreading such rumors will have a bad impact."
After hearing Ye Shan's serious words, Hubu suddenly covered his mouth and shook his head vigorously, indicating that he dared not say anything nonsense.
The truth was easily covered up, and the audience found reasonable explanations on their own and understood them as reality.
The power of the Onmyoji Bureau is indeed huge, and its control over the media is evident from this. Their positive image of maintaining law and order and guarding the country has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Hehe, this is a society that is dominated by people."
