"It's time to end this, boy from Hua country."

Inu-shō Ōmikami glared fiercely at Chen Xiao, revealing its sharp fangs. "As a god, I have protected this shrine for hundreds of years. All who have offended me have been torn to pieces. You will be no exception!"

As it spoke, it opened its large mouth again, and a wave of black aura spewed out like a tide, heading straight for Chen Xiao.

The aura looked like gas, but it wasn't entirely gas.

It looked like liquid, but it wasn't as dense as liquid.

It was a very peculiar existence.

Of course, this made no difference to Chen Xiao. He flapped his wings, and a wave of Phoenix Fire burned toward the black aura.

*Boom!*

When the flames met the black aura, they burned even more fiercely!

The entire sky seemed to have turned into a sea of fire!

"Boy from Hua country, what kind of fire is this that can burn my divine breath?"

Inu-shō Ōmikami asked in disbelief.

"Oh my god, can you get real and stop acting tough! You're just a stinky dog, got it? The kind that barks 'woof woof.' Stop calling yourself a god, okay?"

Chen Xiao was fed up with this stinky dog and began to rant wildly.

"Insolent fool!"

Chen Xiao's rant completely ignited Inu-shō Ōmikami's anger.

*Buzz!*

A layer of blue-black flames ignited on its body.

"Ooooooo..."

A moment later, it stepped on dark clouds and howled as it charged toward Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao had learned something new today. It was the first time he had heard a dog howl like a train whistle.

However, as he watched the stinky dog charging toward him, a serious expression appeared on his face. This stinky dog was very strange, beyond Chen Xiao's understanding.

It wasn't that its strength was so great, but its form was something Chen Xiao had never seen before.

The demonic aura on its body was strong, but it didn't seem to be a demon cultivator.

Moreover, beneath that demonic aura, there was a hint of another aura hidden.

In short, it was very strange!

Strange as it was, its strength... was just so-so!

Inu-shō Ōmikami swung a claw at Chen Xiao through the void, and a crescent-shaped white light flew rapidly toward Chen Xiao like tearing air.

Chen Xiao flicked his finger, and with a buzz, the white light was shattered!

In Chen Xiao's opinion, the stinky dog's attack was about the same strength as Kōgen-ji's ultimate Ōgi Ichimonji from yesterday.

Such a weak 'god'. Chen Xiao was too lazy to play with it any longer. He drew the Yitian Sword and swung it out!

*Swish—*

A thin line passed through its body, and Inu-shō Ōmikami's body was split in two, cut in half from the middle!

Seeing this scene, the group of Japanese people on the ground were dumbfounded.

The already quiet scene became even quieter, and time seemed to stand still. Even the air froze.

They couldn't believe that Inu-shō Ōmikami had actually been split in two by that stinky boy from Hua country with a single sword strike.

That was Inu-shō Ōmikami! That was the god who protected all of Hokkaido!

How could it lose? How could it be killed by a mere human?

Just then, a high-pitched and melodious voice suddenly broke the deathly silence.

"My people, my brothers and sisters, you have always been protected by Inu-shō Ōmikami. Now is the time for you to repay it!"

"Remember your anger and unwillingness, take out your power of faith, and offer it to Inu-shō Ōmikami. As long as you believe in it, it will feel your devotion, and it will gain eternal life in the fires of hell!"

"The god will descend in an even more heroic form!"

It was Suikawa Gūji who spoke.

After speaking, she knelt on the ground, holding her hands above her head.

The group of Japanese people were initially dazed, but then someone followed her example, kneeling on the ground and holding their hands above their head!

Then, everyone gradually knelt on the ground, holding their hands above their heads.

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes and watched this scene with interest.

He could have killed all these people with a single sword strike, but seeing their mumbling and chanting, Chen Xiao decided to continue watching to see what this demon woman was up to.

That's right, although Chen Xiao couldn't determine what the stinky dog was.

But he was sure that this Suikawa Inoko was definitely a demon cultivator. She was a snake demon.

As this strange ritual progressed.

Chen Xiao suddenly noticed that streams of faith power were floating from the hands of those Japanese people and gathering above the dark clouds.

"Oh? This thing can actually absorb the power of faith? That's a bit strange!"

A hint of doubt appeared in Chen Xiao's eyes.

As far as he knew, only true gods could absorb the power of faith from mortals.

In addition, some disciples of the Buddhist faith could also absorb the power of faith through special methods.

But this stinky dog didn't seem to have anything to do with Buddhism!

Chen Xiao observed silently, but he still didn't stop it.

He wanted to see how much this stinky dog could absorb.

As the power of faith flowed in continuously, Inu-shō Ōmikami's body actually reattached itself.

The wound in the middle of its body was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Ooooooo..."

Inu-shō Ōmikami once again let out a cry like a train whistle.

And this cry made the Japanese people kneeling on the ground become excited.

Because it meant that their devotion had worked.

The god had truly been resurrected and descended again!

In this way, they could provide even more power of faith.

Because just now, not everyone had provided true faith power. A large number of people did not believe that Inu-shō Ōmikami could be resurrected.

Unless a miracle occurred!

And now, a miracle had occurred, and they naturally believed it, offering their power of faith to Inu-shō Ōmikami without reservation!

With the injection of the power of faith, Inu-shō Ōmikami's body also underwent great changes.

While its body was growing larger, its figure also became more agile and powerful.

Its slender limbs and firm chest all showed its agility and bravery!

The bulging muscles seemed to contain endless power!

Of course, its power referred to spiritual energy!

The flames on its body burned more vigorously, and its aura was overwhelming, many times stronger than before.

Chen Xiao's expression was solemn. After absorbing the power of faith from these humans, this stinky dog's strength had increased more than tenfold!

"Roar!"

Inu-shō Ōmikami roared to the sky, finally no longer a train whistle-like cry.

And the faces of the group of Japanese people on the ground all showed joyous and excited expressions.

Inu-shō Ōmikami had become more powerful because of their power of faith, and they felt proud of it!

At this time, Suikawa Inoko also stood up, and that high-pitched and melodious voice sounded again!

"People, brothers and sisters, Inu-shō Ōmikami has obtained your power of faith, resurrected from the dead, and a miracle has descended!"

"So now, please offer your most precious thing to your god!"

"Which is your—life!"
