In the courtyard of the Inner Shrine of Ise Grand Shrine, Ling Tian, wearing a green Kappa mask, was locked in a fierce battle, entangled by four Tengu.
These Tengu, with their seamless coordination and mastery of combined attacks, coupled with a speed and strength far exceeding that of ordinary humans, left Ling Tian in a rather precarious situation.
Just then, those specially cultivated Lantern Ghosts also drifted towards Ling Tian's location. These Lantern Ghosts could not be called ordinary; the Onmyoji of Ise Grand Shrine referred to these monsters as Lantern Ghost Kings!
Seven or eight Lantern Ghosts surrounded Ling Tian, floating at an altitude of four to five meters. Then, these Lantern Ghosts opened their mouths in unison.
At this moment, the brightness of the Lantern Ghost Kings suddenly dimmed, as if the lights had been abruptly turned off. Immediately after, the Lantern Ghost Kings suddenly opened their mouths and spat out green fireballs from each of them!
In an instant, eight fireballs flew directly towards Ling Tian!
These verdant fireballs were not ordinary flames, but ghost fire!
This type of ghost fire had a very low temperature, only two to three hundred degrees Celsius, even comparable to a common lighter. However, once this ghost fire adhered to a person, it could inflict damage upon their soul!
To the dog's surprise, the four Tengu seemed to be well aware of the attack patterns of these Lantern Ghost Kings. They clung to Ling Tian fiercely, preventing him from dodging the ghost fire attacks.
As the flames were about to fall upon Ling Tian, a burst of raging flames suddenly appeared on Ling Tian's body!
The ghost fires, caught off guard, all collided with the flames. The flames on Ling Tian's body were no ordinary flames; they were the manifestation of a fire spirit, with a temperature reaching four to five thousand degrees.
The small ghost fireballs were directly swallowed by the fire spirit, becoming its nourishment.
After consuming the fireballs, the fire spirit still looked unsatisfied. At this moment, the Lantern Ghost Kings, terrified, turned and fled, instantly drifting tens of meters away!
These Lantern Ghost Kings were all fire-attribute yokai, highly sensitive to the power of flames. The fire spirit on Ling Tian's body gave these Lantern Ghost Kings an extreme sense of danger, and driven by instinct, they turned and ran.
Regardless of how Kitano Nozomikawa, who was watching from the side, issued commands, they merely floated tens of meters away, daring not to approach.
"Baka!" Kitano Nozomikawa's nose was almost bent with anger. It seemed these damned Lantern Ghost Kings were unreliable. Thus, he commanded the Tengu to increase their speed and eliminate this intruder!
Upon receiving the order, the Tengu launched even more ferocious attacks towards Ling Tian.
For a time, Ling Tian was enveloped by dense sword light, and he found himself in perilous situations!
Suddenly, Ling Tian let out a great roar, his blade flashing, and waves of sword energy burst forth from the Muramasa demon blade, forcing several Tengu to retreat repeatedly.
Seizing the momentary respite, Ling Tian reversed his grip on the sword hilt, formed a hand seal, and chanted incantations.
A few seconds later, Ling Tian's body released a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. This spiritual energy enveloped Ling Tian's body, and in the next moment, two more arms suddenly grew from the back of Ling Tian's shoulders!
On these arms, the left hand held Ling Tian's Crimson Flame Treasure Sword, while the right hand held the Kiri-Kiri long sword he had forged not long ago!
In the術法 (shùfǎ - sorcery/magic) of China, there is a very obscure and niche術法, which is the術法 of transformation.
The seventy-two transformations of the legendary Monkey King were actually one of these transformation-type術法.
The initial stage of these transformation-type術法 mostly involved illusions. However, once these術法 were practiced to a profound level, the caster's body could even transform into whatever they desired!
And this Three Heads Six Arms術法, the "Three Heads Six Arms" is merely an abstract term. When practiced to its peak, one could even manifest eight arms and two heads.
Once a person has two heads, there would be no blind spots behind them. However, Ling Tian did not need this; he possessed the Heavenly Eye divine ability, and his mental power could scan the surroundings in all directions without any blind spots, much like the phased array radar on a ship.
Now, with four weapons in hand, Ling Tian's heart was at ease. At this very moment, the four Tengu launched their attack once more.
One Tengu flapped its wings, swooping down from above, directly pouncing on Ling Tian. The katana in its hand was aimed fiercely at Ling Tian's head.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Tian did not dodge. The arm holding the Kiri-Kiri long sword swung out.
The Kiri-Kiri long sword, with an indomitable momentum, was swung out directly, and a sword energy about two meters long shot out from the blade!
The Tengu, caught off guard, was directly swept by this sword energy.
In the next moment, this Tengu was cut in half from its center and split into two, then it turned into ashes.
Almost simultaneously, Ling Tian's other arm extended, and a ball of flame shot out from the Crimson Flame Treasure Sword.
Facing this treasure sword, the Tengu was caught off guard and was immediately engulfed by the sudden flames.
The high temperature of over a thousand degrees instantly consumed this Tengu, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.
As these two Tengu were eliminated, the attacks of the other two Tengu also arrived. On Ling Tian's body, two Muramasa demon blades respectively blocked the attacks of these two katanas.
The immense force transmitted from his arms caused the bodies of the two Tengu to tremble in mid-air.
Just as the two Tengu were stunned, Ling Tian's other two arms simultaneously launched attacks with the Kiri-Kiri long sword and the Crimson Flame Treasure Sword. The two Tengu, caught off guard, were affected by the weapons in Ling Tian's hands and, in almost an instant, turned into flying ash!
Kitano Nozomikawa, who was observing from the side, had his mouth wide open, finding it difficult to believe what was happening before his eyes.
This fellow in front of him was too bizarre, even scaring the Lantern Ghost Kings into hiding far away.
How could a normal human grow two more arms like this!
Kitano Nozomikawa could also tell that the four weapons in Ling Tian's hands, whether it was the Kiri-Kiri long sword, the Crimson Flame Treasure Sword, or the pair of Muramasa demon blades, were no ordinary items!
"You, who exactly are you, and why do you dare trespass into Ise Grand Shrine? I warn you, this is not a place where you can act so recklessly!" Kitano Nozomikawa said with a hint of arrogance.
"Nani? You don't even know who I am? This is simply too absurd, too disappointing. Don't you know that I am the legendary Human Pillar Immortal?"
"Baka!" Upon hearing this, Kitano Nozomikawa was so frightened that he took two steps back, almost jumping up!
