Yadou called out the name of the divine weapon without even thinking, and the girl turned into a long sword in his hand. He held the sword with both hands and barely blocked the spiritual sword Bing Tantian that Li Nian was slashing down.
With a loud bang, the huge force that crushed over him cracked the ground under Yato's feet, and he fell to one knee.
"Oh my, isn't this the God of War Yato?" Li Nian attacked directly, smashing his old acquaintance to his knees with all his strength. He smiled happily, and kept increasing the force of the blade's downward pressure, saying with a smile: "How long have you been here? You have fallen to the point of attacking mortals? You like to respond to the desire to kill, right? In that case, since you have come here at the call, why not try to kill me?"
Chapter 339: First Communication, Discovering Impure Divinity
Ye Dou listened to Li Nian's ridicule, but he didn't get angry, and he didn't even think about it - because he didn't have the energy to do so.
He hadn't figured out the situation yet. Before being summoned, he thought it was the prayers of the believers. He had never thought about being attacked. It was an extremely quick reaction for him to barely withstand Li Nian's sudden attack. He was chopped down by the sword and fell to his knees. He suddenly looked up and saw the attacker's face clearly. He found that it was the strong man named Li Nian who had fought with him before. Listening to this taunt, the first thing that came to his mind was -
"You... have become stronger again?"
Yadou had fought with Li Nian before, and thought he had a fairly clear understanding of the power of this powerful human being, and had an estimate of Li Nian's strength. However, when they fought again not long after, the power that Yadou felt from Li Nian's slash was much higher than he had expected. This was why he was caught off guard and was knocked to one knee, and had to use all his strength to resist the slash.
Li Nian didn't expect that this guy would sigh about this first.
It is true that he had drawn his sword faster than before, not because his magic power had become stronger, but because he had added the luck and strength of [Tiger Climbing the Mountain] that he had learned during his fight with the Tsuchigumo on the basis of Kidomaru's super-fast sword drawing. As the technique was running, a flaming spear was burning in his mind, and he felt a surge of fighting spirit, and a trace of violent scorching sun fire ran through his body. He swung his sword with the explosive power of the exploding flames, and naturally it was much stronger than before. It seemed that Yato had personally experienced the changes.
Li Nian smiled and said, "Yeah, it seems easier to kill you, so don't die too quickly, that's boring, you have to struggle hard to please me, Wushen Yadou."
As he spoke, he pressed his knife closer and closer to Yato's neck, the crystal clear blade of [Bing Tan Tian] getting closer and closer to Yato's skin.
The exaggerated action that Li Nian made when summoning Yato over attracted a lot of attention. This sudden change was seen by many people, but few people understood what exactly happened. Everything happened in a flash. To outsiders, a man in a black kimono and a girl in a pink kimono appeared out of thin air. As for the fight between the two sides that started the next moment, only Isayama could barely see it clearly.
Because she had anticipated that Yato would appear on the scene when Li Nian started to summon the gods, she had already taken the spiritual sword [Lion King] in her hand, and was ready to draw the sword the moment Yato appeared. However, before she could figure out what to do next, Li Nian moved much faster than her, and launched an attack more directly and decisively than her.
She did not see clearly when Li Nian drew his sword, because the speed was beyond Jianshan's reaction limit - but she saw clearly the ray of fire that exploded when Li Nian drew his sword. Jianshan keenly felt that it was the reason why Li Nian's sword became faster and heavier. At this time, he saw the war god Yadou who appeared was cut to his knees by the sword, and he was struggling to hold up the spiritual sword that Li Nian pressed down. He also understood that Yadou was being suppressed by Li Nian and it was an opportunity for him to draw his sword.
Isayama had made it clear that he wanted to defeat the God of Okujin, and he felt that this was a feat that he should seize. He did not mind doing this kind of thing where he had more people against fewer, like attacking from the side, which was a bit despicable. His idea was to seize this opportunity to chop off Yato God's head with his sword.
So he was about to use his sword.
"Isayama."
Li Nian noticed it and just called out his colleague's name.
"..." When Isayama turned his head and saw Li Nian's crazy smile, he knew that Li Nian was in high spirits at this moment. He had entered the state when he fought with Tsuchigumo before. He began to get excited. He wanted to have a good fight with Takeshin Yato, and he would not like his interference. He had no choice but to say: "Be sure to pay attention to the impact on the surroundings!", and then gave up the idea of attacking. Instead, he grabbed Officer Takasaka who had already taken out the gun and jumped back a distance, shouting: "Stay away." and began to evacuate everyone.
Without Isayama's help, Yato's situation did not seem optimistic. In a short period of time, Li Nian's knife had pressed against the skin of the man's neck, easily cutting the skin. The cold blade cut into Yato's flesh, bringing stabbing pain and biting coldness.
It seemed that Li Nian could slowly chop off Yato's head just by suppressing his strength, but Li Nian himself didn't care about it. He just said leisurely: "Why don't you block my knife? I suggest you handle it carefully. Because I can probably guess every move you will make next."
Yato realized that Li Nian was not at all anxious and would not put too much strength into this one strike. He must have left some strength to change his situation. He immediately gave up the idea of counterattacking and finally took action. He swung the knife to the right and jumped to the left, breaking free from the suppression. While gaining his freedom, he swung the knife at Li Nian's feet, hoping to force Li Nian to retreat so that he could regroup.
But Li Nian was faster than him. As he said, he did guess what Yato would do. As soon as he saw him move, he confirmed what Yato would do next and kicked out.
This was not a random kick, but a clean and neat front kick. One kick was the unity of mind, body, skills and energy, just like gathering all the strength of the body to stab a spear. It was powerful and extremely fast, and it was prepared in advance. It was calculated that before being chopped, it could kick the enemy's belly with a shorter distance and faster force.
Yato was indeed kicked and flew out like a sandbag. With a loud bang, he smashed the wall beside him and fell into someone else's yard.
"puff."
Yato rolled over on the grass and barely managed to get back on his feet. He felt an excruciating pain in his stomach from being kicked. His internal organs were churning and were greatly shaken. He felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. He had suffered internal injuries from the kick.
But Yato didn't even think about taking a breath and jumped away from where he was without hesitation.
As expected, Li Nian appeared in the sky and chopped down with a knife, landing on the place where Ye Dou had just stopped. The knife chopped in the air, but the remaining power was undiminished, and it cut a long and deep groove in the soil along the extension line of the blade.
Li Nian's sword missed and he immediately changed direction and swept sideways.
Yato drew his sword and blocked it without using any strength. Instead, he used the force to fly out and jump onto the roof.
Then he didn't even think about fighting, he seized the opportunity, turned around and ran.
Li Nian didn't rush to chase after him. He glanced at the grass he had split on someone else's land, as well as the wall that Yato had smashed before. He scratched his head, thinking that it was because of his own fault that he had lost someone else's property. He shouted to Jianshan over there, "I'll leave the aftermath to you. Can you reimburse the bill?"
Yato is a god who can slash barriers at will. The sealed barrier will be destroyed, and it will certainly be difficult to capture such a wary strong man when released. They can only fight in reality, which will inevitably affect the surroundings.
"There is a limit to how much you can get for damaging other people's property, and you will be scolded! I told you to take it easy!" Isayama shouted angrily, "But it's not okay to let the God of War go and continue killing people. Anyway, you should chase him first!"
Li Nian nodded, then disappeared from the spot to chase after Ye Dou.
The two men disappeared from the scene after fighting and retreating for a while, and the others came to their senses. Officer Takasaka knew that the man who had just fought with Li Nian was probably the culprit of the murder, and immediately called on the police officers to take action to track the two men.
Isayama estimated that they would not be able to catch up at all, and by the time they caught up with them, the matter would be over. But he did not stop them, because even if he could not help, there were still various post-processing tasks that needed someone to do, and he must be the first to arrive. Isayama apologized to the busy Officer Takasaka, and he also summoned the spirit beast Ran Honglian that resided in the "Lion King", turned over and jumped on, and chased after Li Nian and Yatoshen first.
On the other side, Yato used the force of Li Nian's slash to distance himself, and when Li Nian instructed Isayama to clean up the mess, he kept fleeing at full speed, leaping nimbly in the steel jungle of this city. Just as he thought that the man behind him had disappeared, he thought he could take a short rest, so he landed on an overpass.
Passersby were frightened by the man who fell from the sky. Seeing that he was holding a sharp long knife, they immediately avoided him or stayed away. Only a few young people who didn't know what was good for them were left there, laughing and pointing, and taking out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Yato glanced at the group of mortals around him, noticed the young man who was taking a picture of himself with his mobile phone, frowned slightly, then suddenly widened his eyes and looked sharply to the other side of the overpass.
The next moment, accompanied by a space fluctuation, Li Nian appeared there holding the spiritual knife Bing Tantian.
Like Ye Dou, while being noticed by passers-by, Li Nian also realized that they had arrived at a crowded commercial area. He smacked his lips in annoyance, but the spirit sword was still in his hand and he did not let it fall, obviously he still had the intention to fight.
Looking at Li Nian who suddenly appeared here, Yato realized that it would be difficult to escape from the pursuit of this sorcerer who came and went without a trace.
Li Nian was also very concerned about fighting in such a busy city. While thinking about how to control the impact, he quickly killed the God of Disaster.
So temporarily, the two of them confronted each other in silence, and stopped fighting with their own thoughts.
Suddenly Yato asked.
"Why are you chasing me?"
Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Because you killed someone, which is not right."
"Shouldn't that kind of scum be killed?" Yato also understood that Li Nian, who appeared at the scene, was an exorcist who came to investigate the cause of Chuntian's death. He knew that he came to hold him accountable for killing that kind of guy. His voice gradually became colder and angry. He seemed very dissatisfied with Li Nian's answer and questioned Li Nian: "For you exorcists, do such scum also need protection?"
This was the first time that Li Nian had communicated with this God of War. He could hear the anger of the God of Night Fighting and sensed something from his questioning. He opened his eyes slightly and felt like he had gotten to know the God of Night Fighting all over again. He had some doubts in his heart, but he answered Night Fighting's questions first.
"Yes, those scum are the ones who need protection. Human laws protect all citizens, and the Onmyoji Exorcists also have the obligation to protect those citizens who are threatened by spiritual disasters. Unfortunately, those scum are also in the category of citizens and are the ones who need protection. Therefore, dealing with third-category spiritual disasters like you who kill people is indeed within my scope of responsibility."
Yato found this answer very funny and sneered, "How stupid."
"I also think it's ridiculous, so I don't agree. Although I understand that this is the duty of an exorcist, I really don't bother to care about the life and death of such a scum. I think his death is good, and you killed him well. Isayama wants to exterminate you for this reason, but I don't. I won't do anything I don't agree with. I'm not hunting you down because of the death of someone like you."
Ye Dou was stunned. When he heard Li Nian say that he did not agree with the rule that scumbags needed to be protected, and that he was not hunting him down because of that person's death, he suddenly felt confused: "Then why are you hunting me down?"
Li Nian said as a matter of course: "Of course it's because you chopped me."
"...You want revenge?" Yato sighed, his voice tired: "I understand."
Come to think of it, I once hacked him with the intention of killing Li Nian, so it's not surprising that the other party would want revenge.
The desire for revenge is the most likely reason for humans to kill.
The god Yato is all too familiar with this kind of malice of human beings. The reason is that he was born out of this kind of prayer.
"...But if possible, I don't want to fight with you for such a boring reason. After all, it's a mutual thing. You also chopped back, didn't you? Can the feud end here? Fighting for such a reason is really stupid."
"Wow? The God of War actually thinks so?" Li Nian was really surprised: "You should be the God of Killing born from the human's wish to kill, and now you are also responding to such wishes. You, Yato God, have such divinity, but you actually think that there is a need for a reason to kill each other, including the son of the Haruta family. Do you still choose the targets to kill?"
Being described as such a killing god, Ye Dou was speechless for a moment. He agreed with Li Nian's statement and answered in a low and lost voice.
"...I was indeed born from the desire of humans to kill. When I was just born, I was a god of disaster who killed people at will as you said. I used to not be selective about who to kill, but I would kill anyone I received a person's prayer."
"You mean you've changed now?"
"Yes, I'm tired of killing people." As if recalling the distant past, the man's cold face showed a nostalgic smile, and murmured: "Someone once told me that God should fight to protect the world, so that we can gain true faith. I think it's right."
Li Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully looked at the Night Fighting God, and said with a smile: "You, a martial god born from the murderous thoughts of humans, want to become a god who protects the world?"
“…Is there something wrong?”
"Everything is wrong... First of all, let me ask you, what kind of people in the world do you want to protect?"
"Good guy."
"So the son of the Haruta family is not included in this list and can be killed?"
"Yes."
"It's so hypocritical. First of all, why didn't you hesitate when you chopped me, Li Nian? Do you think I'm not a good person?"
When Ye Dou attacked Li Nian at that time, he did so without hesitation and there was no doubt that he was killing him.
When Li Nian pointed this out, Ye Dou flatly replied, "Because you want to hurt my father."
Chapter 340: Dangerous Innocent Heart
"Who did you say your father is?" Li Nian took a few seconds to remember that Yato was talking about that Fujiki?
At that time, it seemed that Yato called Fujiki father?
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed Li Nian who attacked Tengqi first, and then led to Yato's counterattack. He didn't know Yato's ability at that time, so he didn't summon the spirit sword first, but made an ice knife to fight back. As a result, the blade that was easily cut off slashed his body...
But this is not right.
So Fujiki is the father of Yatoshin? What's going on?
Li Nian was convinced that this Yato God was undoubtedly a spirit born from human faith. Even though that body was made up of a human body with flesh and blood and internal organs, and would bleed if cut and vomit blood if kicked, it was true that all the substances that made up Yato were products of "spiritual energy". In fact, this Yato God was undoubtedly a pure spiritual being, which was why he could be summoned by Li Nian at will and teleported from afar in an instant.
In Li Nian's spiritual vision, Yato's aura also showed pure divinity and spirit. In contrast, the Fujiki he had seen before had the aura of a human and the interests of a human. How could a human be the father of a god?
Li Nian asked curiously.
"Tengqi is a human, right? How can he be your father?"
"..."
"Don't want to talk? Forget it." Li Nian gave up asking questions when he saw Yato's indifferent expression, as if he was too lazy to answer. Everyone has some secrets... Gods who have lived for a long time will have more secrets. So he got back to the point: "So, just assume that Fujiki is your father, someone important to you. I want to capture your father, and then you want to kill me. I can understand that. But how did the people from the Kanto Great Ape Society provoke you? Do you want to kill their entire family?"
"That was also because of my father's order."
"As expected, I thought you would come up with some grand reason that monsters are evil and it's not a crime to kill them. I was a little surprised that you didn't make those excuses and admitted it clearly."
Yato showed a confused expression, feeling Li Nian's mockery: "Do you care about the lives of monsters?"
"In my opinion, all sentient beings are equal... Oh, you are a god and don't care about monsters, so you don't have to distinguish between good and evil when you kill a whole family of monsters, right?"
Li Nian was at the scene of the Kanto Great Ape Society. Among the corpses he saw, in addition to young and middle-aged monsters, there were also many old people and children, as well as corpses dressed as servants. Not all the dead were capable of fighting. Even if they were members of the Nura Group, they belonged to the underworld and were definitely not innocent. But there were so many monsters in the Kanto Great Ape Society who died at home that day, and they were definitely not all evil people who deserved to die. What's more, the Nura Group was a famously restrained monster organization with a relatively clean family style. They obviously had strict constraints on their subordinates, so there must be innocent people among them.
"…Because it was my father's order."
Without making any excuses, Yato repeated the reasons calmly.
"Okay, monsters are not the people you want to protect, they are not the good people you want to protect, but your answer seems to imply that if it is the father's order, then we can not distinguish between good and evil? Kill them indiscriminately, and even humans are not exempted?"
"……Yes."
"why?"
"Because it was my father's order."
"Are you a repeater?" Li Nian shook his head helplessly, but he still roughly understood: "So you can't disobey the orders of your father, Teng Qi."
"I will not disobey my father's orders."
"As long as your father orders you to do so, you can kill anyone, right? You value your father's orders more than your own thoughts. With his order, you can kill monsters without any grudges, you can kill the people you want to protect, and even the guys you think are good people."
Ye Dou was confused by Li Nian's assumption. After thinking for a while, he answered: "When I killed people for my father, I had no thoughts or opinions. I didn't know whether the people I killed were good or bad. I just followed orders and killed them. Their death would make my father happy. If my father is happy, it's right. That's all."
Li Nian understood: "I see, you are quite naive. You didn't argue with me about good and evil. I don't know Fujiki, and I don't know if the person he wants to kill is a good person or a bad person. I will see him clearly when I see him, and then I will think about whether I should kill him. You will obey his orders, and you seem to have the highest priority exception. I don't know the relationship between you and your son, so I won't comment. Now I just want to ask you, Yatoshin, you said that you want to become a god who protects the world, right?"
"Yes."
"Then prove it to me."
As Li Nian spoke, he raised his sword and gathered power like a javelin. A huge amount of energy flowed from his hands and from the surrounding air, turning into six-colored silent lights that flowed onto the sword. Li Nian's clothes and hair were blown violently by the wind, and his momentum gradually rose.
Behind Yato, the young man who had been taking pictures with his mobile phone since the beginning saw these magnificent scenes, exclaimed in amazement, and took pictures more seriously.
Ye Dou was startled and instantly entered combat mode, guarding against Li Nian's next move.
Li Nian gathered strength for the knife throw and said with a smile: "Don't hide, the consequences will be serious."
Yato didn't take it seriously and had no intention of catching the difficult-to-defend-against throwing knife. He was already prepared to dodge.
"There is a person behind you. You will die if you hide from him. Come, protect him to prove to me that you are willing to protect the world." Li Nian said with a smile, and threw the knife directly, which turned into a stream of light like lightning.
When Ye Dou heard this, he suddenly remembered that this route would indeed pierce through him and the people behind him. He didn't know why Li Nian would do such a thing that would affect innocent people, but the terrifying light stream had already hit him. He didn't have time to think about it. He just felt that this attack would definitely pierce through the people behind him. He was furious and immediately gave up his original idea of evasion and decided to fight back.
"In the name of the Night Fighting God, behead!"
——"Wait a minute Yato! That guy is attacking!"
Yato heard Fei's voice in his mind. He knew without Fei's reminder that Li Nian had a backup attack, but he still chose to swing with all his might. The attack was the same one that had directly cut through Li Nian's seal, the inhabited power, the sharp and unmatched blade light.
The blade light collided with the flowing light and easily cut into the outer layer of violent energy, hitting the tip of Bing Tantian's blade inside, but it could not continue to cut through it. Instead, it was blocked and a collision occurred.
