The Crow Man suddenly stopped his attack, and Xu Yi looked at his opponent with confusion. Could it be that the opponent had detected the Ghost Samurai approaching?
He had specifically instructed the Ghost Samurai to phase, sneaking over stealthily.
The crow's head hovered in the air, coldly watching Xu Yi, its eyes suddenly becoming lively.
"You are very strong, would you be interested in joining our Ring of Destruction?"
The enemy actually wanted to recruit him on the spot? Xu Yi was slightly taken aback.
As for the crow's head speaking with a human voice, he wasn't too surprised; he had long guessed that there was a puppet master behind this tal Crow Man.
Ring of Destruction?
Xu Yi finally knew the true na of the "Door Organization," a group he had never heard of before.
"What are the benefits of joining the Ring of Destruction?"
Facing the enemy's recruitnt, Xu Yi's spirits instantly rose. Not that he wanted to join the Ring of Destruction; the mbers of this organization were outright madn.
Resurrecting the Evil God of the Ram, providing a breeding ground for Kayako to "split" and destroy Japan.
And those were just the things Xu Yi was aware of; there were likely many similar deeds happening behind the scenes. Although he wasn't exactly a paragon of virtue, he wasn't mad enough to go that far.
But as long as the other party was willing to talk, he could engage them in conversation until the end of ti!
[Source of Woe transformation in progress, estimated ti remaining "1:32"]
Less than two minutes were left for the transformation of the Source of Woe.
"This world will inevitably decay, only by joining our Ring of Destruction can you obtain a ticket to the new world. Co! Join us!" The Crow Man's eyes flashed with intense madness.
"What kind of benefits does the Ring of Destruction offer?" Xu Yi shifted his terminology soundlessly.
In Psychology, using "we" can often lower the other party's guard and give them the illusion that "he is interested in the Ring of Destruction."
Xu Yi had already thought of a topic; he would start by discussing the benefits of the Ring of Destruction, talk about "social and dical insurances," while complaining about the boss to build rapport with the other party.
Then he would say that he was very interested, but just didn't know enough about the organization and needed to learn more.
But he forgot, he was dealing with a lunatic organization; lunatics do not play by the rules.
"You have three seconds to think about it, joining our Ring of Destruction would be an honor for you," the Crow Man had no intention of answering.
Xu Yi was taken aback for a mont but imdiately adjusted his strategy, "I am willing, I am willing to join the Ring of Destruction."
Let alone giving a re verbal commitnt, he would even sign a contract if necessary; at that mont, even a saint wouldn't mind using such a tactic to buy ti.
"Since you are willing to join our Ring of Destruction, offer up the origin of your soul!" The Crow Man stared intensely at Xu Yi.
"This..." Xu Yi's forehead broke out in a light sweat; he hadn't expected the conversation to break down so quickly. There really was no reasoning with a madman.
His brain worked at high speed, trying to find an excuse to keep stalling, but the Crow Man didn't give him the chance.
"You dare to deceive ! You're seeking death!" The Crow Man was unwilling to wait even a second longer; his pupils were once again covered with golden light.
The last bone hand behind the Crow Man disappeared, and Xu Yi tensed up. What puzzled him, however, was that the terrifyingly powerful Light Spear did not materialize.
From underneath the crow's head and above the neck of the headless figure, a large quantity of tallic liquid suddenly surged forth, and in the blink of an eye, the liquid filled in the missing parts.
Two complete Crow n appeared before Xu Yi!
Xu Yi suddenly realized that the bone hands behind the Crow Man were essentially an "Energy Box." Their function was not limited to creating Light Spears but also to heal wounds and even create clones.
Facing one Crow Man, Xu Yi was already at his wit's end, let alone two; however, his face didn't show too much tension.
The two Crow n charged at Xu Yi, who burnt the blood within his body, his black hair turning to platinum blonde as he fully activated "Blood as Sacred."
The Crow n attacked Xu Yi from front and back. Ignoring the one behind him, he lunged fiercely towards the one in front.
His eyes fixated on the Yata Mirror and Sword of Gathering Clouds on the opponent's body, which were in the hands of the front Crow Man as it was ford from the main body.
He extended his finger, and brilliant platinum light converged at the tip, burning the last of his blood at a high rate. He was going all-in with this strike!
The Crow Man was montarily startled, sensing the terrifying energy contained within the Light Sphere, but he couldn't understand one thing.
Despite the "Reincarnation Device" being precious, it was after all just a puppet; what's more important, even if the opponent chose to die together with him, there was still another clone left.
But his expression suddenly changed as he sensed the piercing wind of fire behind him, no less powerful than the energy of the platinum light sphere bearing down on him.
"It's not just you who possesses clones," said Xu Yi's indifferent voice.
Billowing flas appeared behind the Crow Man, with the Ghost Samurai standing in the center of the fire, like a deity residing in the Land of Flas.
He gripped the Demon Blade Red Lotus tightly, and the flas surged again, coalescing into a massive Fla Giant.
Not far from the battlefield, Eight Monster House transford into a phantom to hide, with Harada Mieko sitting cross-legged within.
Her body trembled slightly, her forehead covered with sweat, her eyes tightly closed, revealing her tension and excitent at the mont.
She couldn't help but feel nervous and excited; she had never imagined that there would co a day when she would "control" a "god"!
"Go all out!" The Oracle sounded in her ear once again.
It was no longer the raspy voice of before but the voice of a young man, one she had heard in the Harada family estate.
She understood by now that the so-called "god—Ghost Samurai" was rely part of the man's controlled power.
At this mont, Harada Mieko's consciousness was attached to the Ghost Samurai. Having gained the Ghost Samurai's perspective, she saw clearly the figure within the platinum flow and didn't know whether the man was human or divine.
If he was human, it was hard to imagine soone could be so powerful.
But soon, she had no ti to ponder these matters as the power of the Ghost Samurai was rallied, making her tremble slightly under the surging force.
She was well aware that this power did not belong to her; she was rely a "tool."
But being a "tool" of a "god," she didn't mind at all.
She swung her blade fiercely, releasing a torrent of intense fiery blade qi, splitting the heavens and earth asunder.
The Crow Man knew it was impossible to survive the pincer attack, but he still prepared for his last stand, buying ti for his other self.
Sacrificing half of his Reincarnation Husk in exchange for inflicting heavy damage on the opponent was not a bad deal.
But suddenly, he was stunned. The fiery blade qi swept past him, targeting his other half instead.
Such an "equal-opportunity" attack would never destroy any part of his Reincarnation Husk—why would the opponent do this?
He knew that without the elent of surprise, it would have been very difficult to destroy even a part of his Reincarnation Husk.
Caught off-guard, Xu Yi had already reached him, the Light Sphere shattered, and "Holy" engulfed him from above, depriving him of all external senses.
The overwhelming fiery blade qi headed towards the other Crow Man, instantly swallowing him up.
The platinum radiance and the towering flas churned together, overshadowing the blood-red light in the sky.
As the light gradually dissipated, Xu Yi stood beside the Ghost Samurai, panting heavily.
His hair color returned to black, the blood within him nearly burnt out. Moving forward, his combat prowess would be negligible, but his eyes were sparkling bright.
He looked at the Yata Mirror in his left hand, then the Sword of Gathering Clouds in his right, unable to hide the delight in his eyes.
After admiring them for a mont, he gleefully placed the two Holy Artifacts into the Toy Treasure Box; with the Yasakani no Magatama he had obtained earlier, all three of Japan's Holy Artifacts were now in his hands.
Prior to coming to Tokyo, he couldn't have dread of such a day.
Just now, he had not only attacked the Crow Man's head but also seized the two Holy Artifacts from his hands.
Of course, his success was due to Xu Yi's strategy of "Assembling straw boats to borrow arrows."
From the outset, Xu Yi's target had not been to destroy the Crow Man but the Holy Artifacts in the Crow Man's possession.
After all, even if he had destroyed one Crow Man, what of it?
With his blood nearly depleted and his battle strength close to nothing, the only option left was to rely on the Ghost Samurai, ultimately boiling down to a 1v1 situation.
Rather than that, it was better to gain sothing tangible, and most importantly, he had never forgotten his "original intention."
His goal was to stall for ti until the Source of Woe's transformation was complete, not to annihilate the Crow Man.
Now that both Crow n were seriously injured and would need no small amount of ti to recover, it was much better than facing a fully-powered Crow Man.
With the ti thusly stalled and two Holy Artifacts obtained, he had truly hit the jackpot.
