"It seems it's not that capable."

Chen Xiao said casually.

Then, with a flick of his finger, a wisp of Qilin Fire shot out from his fingertip, heading straight for the Faceless Ghost.

After the sixth revolution of the Azure Waves, the supernatural power of the Quenching Fire Qilin Eyes had spread throughout Chen Xiao's body. He could unleash it not only with his eyes, but with any part of his body, as easily as moving his arm.

The Qilin Fire struck the Faceless Ghost, and flames soared into the sky. The Faceless Ghost only let out two strange cries before disappearing from the spot.

Unlike the others, it was not reduced to ashes by the Qilin Fire.

Chen Xiao walked over and saw a small paper figure cut from white paper on the ground.

"Master, this is called a shikigami!"

Gu Yutong explained, "It's a spiritual entity controlled by Japanese onmyōji!"

"Did you learn this from the game too?"

Chen Xiao asked.

"Um…"

Gu Yutong nodded, slightly embarrassed. Then she added, "If I'm not mistaken, there must be an onmyōji controlling this Faceless Ghost!"

"That's right, Dr. Chen, I think this young lady is right. There must be someone else behind it."

At this moment, Liu Yingluo walked over and said with a hint of complaint, "We still have too many mysteries unsolved. It was too reckless of you to kill it like that!"

Chen Xiao smiled faintly, looking at Liu Yingluo with a playful expression. "What does it matter if I killed it? Isn't there still you?"

"Huh?"

Liu Yingluo was startled, then said evasively, "What good am I? What would I know? I've told you everything I know…"

"Are you going to keep acting?"

Chen Xiao sneered at Liu Yingluo.

"Acting? I don't know what you're talking about…"

Liu Yingluo continued to play dumb.

"We've been playing along with you for so long. Aren't you satisfied yet?"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao reached out and grabbed Liu Yingluo's hair.

After grabbing her hair, he tugged hard. All of Liu Yingluo's hair was torn off by Chen Xiao.

Not just her hair, but also Liu Yingluo's scalp, face, and all the skin on her body were torn off by Chen Xiao.

Gu Yutong was dumbfounded. After Liu Yingluo's entire skin was torn off, what was revealed inside was a handsome man over 1.8 meters tall.

He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, bright eyes and white teeth, and thin lips. His face was incredibly delicate.

His skin was as white as snow, so delicate it could be broken with a touch, like a young girl.

"You, you, you… are you an onmyōji?"

Gu Yutong asked stammeringly.

The handsome man was wearing white hunting clothes, the traditional attire of onmyōji. Gu Yutong recognized it at a glance.

"That's right. I am Abe no Seimei's eighteenth-generation descendant, Abe Furyo, Onyo no Daijo under the Emperor, and the only great onmyōji of this era!"

Having his identity exposed, Abe Furyo simply put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and said with a look of arrogance.

Then he raised an eyebrow, looked at Chen Xiao, and asked, "Chen-san, when did you discover my true identity? What did I do wrong that made you notice?"

Chen Xiao snorted disdainfully, "I knew it from the moment I saw you."

"What? How did you find out?"

Abe Furyo's face was filled with surprise.

He thought he had performed very well, controlling every detail perfectly.

Little did he know, under the coverage of Chen Xiao's divine sense, he had nowhere to hide.

Chen Xiao grinned, "Isn't that simple? You have the stench of a dog on you. I can smell it from eight hundred meters away!"

"Yarō!"

Abe Furyo gritted his teeth, so angry that he cursed. "You bastard, how dare you use foul language in front of me! You're courting death!"

"How can what I said be considered foul language? At most, it's just telling the truth. You are clearly a domestic dog raised by the Emperor. Are you not allowed to say that?"

Chen Xiao said with a playful expression.

"You bastard, it seems that if I don't show you how powerful I am, you won't know how powerful a great onmyōji is!"

Abe Furyo said in a cold tone.

As he spoke, he put his hands together, formed a magic seal, pointed at Chen Xiao, and a beam of white light shot out.

"Five Ghost Mountain Locking Formation! Activate!"

Accompanied by his roar, five green-faced, fanged little ghosts appeared beside Chen Xiao. Each of them carried a thick chain on their back.

The other end of the chains locked Chen Xiao's limbs and neck.

"Master!"

Gu Yutong cried out and pounced on Chen Xiao, trying to untie the chains for Chen Xiao.

However, the chains seemed to be welded to Chen Xiao's body. She couldn't untie them at all.

"Little sister, don't waste your energy. My Five Ghost Mountain Locking Formation can lock five Yuanying realm experts at the same time. You, a mere Jindan realm cultivator, can't untie it!"

Abe Furyo said with a fake smile.

Gu Yutong didn't believe it and used spells to attack the five little ghosts, but it had no effect at all, as if she was hitting air.

Chen Xiao, however, remained calm and said lightly, "I didn't expect you to know about Jindan and Yuanying. It seems you know quite a bit about cultivators!"

"Of course. For hundreds of years, the disputes between our Onmyōryō and your country's cultivators have never stopped. There is an ancient saying in your Huaxia, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' It is indeed great wisdom. It's a pity that most Huaxia people are arrogant, forget their ancestors, and have long thrown this wisdom into the wastepaper basket."

Abe Furyo said contemptuously, his eyes full of disdain.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao asked, "So, you mean you know my strength very well?"

"Of course. I once saw you fight several S-class ability users by the river. To be honest, you are very strong, but compared to me, you are not worthy!"

Abe Furyo was arrogant, as if he had completely figured out Chen Xiao's bottom line.

Unfortunately, his understanding of Chen Xiao was still more than a month ago.

And the current Chen Xiao is much stronger than he was then!

Chen Xiao laughed mockingly, "So you were also by the river that time. I didn't even notice you."

"You're wrong. It wasn't me by the river, it was it."

Abe Furyo stretched out his slender white fingers, and a white butterfly landed on his fingertip.

The white butterfly had no aura on it, just like the previous Faceless Ghost.

Come to think of it, they were all cut from white paper, so naturally they wouldn't have any aura.

"Since you are so strong, why do you have to make trouble with an ordinary person? Do you know that children are the greatest hope for a family? But you personally destroyed a fetus still in the womb. Don't you feel any guilt?"

Chen Xiao asked coldly.

"Well, at first it was just because Liu Gang accidentally stepped on my foot but didn't apologize to me. I turned his child into a ghost fetus, partly to retaliate against him, but also for fun."

Abe Furyo's tone was light, as if he was talking about an unimportant matter. Then his tone changed, and a cold sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"As for guilt, you Huaxia people are just a bunch of piglets. I won't feel guilty even if I kill more of you."
