Great, now we are dead!

"Please come in, Yotsuya-kun."

Liuli's tone and gaze left no room for refusal; her long tenure naturally gave her an air of authority.

"Now that the man is going into battle, don't become a burden to him!"

We can't rely on the Self-Defense Forces. The fastest and most capable reinforcements that can arrive are our own armed helicopters. This might cause trouble for the government, but we can't afford to worry about that now... Hopefully, it'll be in time!

Lord Ye Shou, I wish you great success in your military endeavors!

"..."

Finally, after exchanging a glance with Liuli, Ye Shou suddenly felt a surge of pride.

The bodyguards and drivers hesitated, but Ye Shou forcibly ordered them to leave, leaving only him and Xiao Hei at the scene.

The big cat was curious why Ye Shou didn't leave, but now that Grandma was safe, it had to protect Ye Shou, its second owner—it was its professional duty.

After all, they've already eaten Loomi (cat food).

"Meow?!"

Um! ! !

Suddenly, the big cat's hair stood on end, and its body, which had just entered the ranks of monsters, couldn't help but tremble instinctively!

What's going on? The red eyes looked at Ye Shou with utter astonishment.

This guy... he's just standing there, and you could say he's full of openings, but I have a feeling that I'll be killed if I make a move!

The ghost that has lived for thousands of years is not afraid of Obik and the giant raccoon. Even if it were to fight desperately now, it would be no match for one of their fingers. But after all, its vision is there.

But Ye Shou now gives it a sense of crisis that even in its prime, it must be extra careful!

Squinting, in the overlapping vision of reality and illusion, an outline radiating a soaring sword pressure that almost pierced the eyes appeared on the boy's body, and the two gradually merged into one.

—So strong!

This is no ordinary spirit summoning technique, otherwise it couldn't be so perfectly matched... It's more like the Buddhist "summoning of three lives"!

Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect. Those with high levels of spiritual cultivation can develop supernatural powers that connect past and present lives, allowing them to borrow the power of their previous or next life!

This human boy... could he be the reincarnation of a martial god?

Little did they know, Ye Shou had already entered a very strange state!

It was no longer just about borrowing the power of Jintian Jinglong; it was even about resonating with him on a spiritual level, instantly becoming calm and serene, as if all worries and sorrows had left him.

Thank you for keeping your promise and helping me subdue the demon.

Although I now have a new shrine, my power is far less than it was in life, and I am no match for these two yokai. You must be careful.

I understand... I'll trouble you to lend me your power.

【Ha ha! 】

Jintian Jinglong burst into laughter, thoroughly enjoying himself.

It's not a loan to you; only you can unleash this power!

Without the courage to face powerful opponents, without the compassion to protect the weak, and without unwavering perseverance, how can human swords slay demons?

It is precisely because your will is so strong that you are able to wield my power effectively. The sharpness of a sword varies depending on the person wielding it... You have been completely transformed since your time at Mount Sukuna!

Young man, no need for further words, my sword is your sword!
