Inside Neon City, chaos ensued.
On the deserted streets, a man and a woman walked side by side, slowly approaching a certain building.
"Tengu Temple, where the Tengu deity is worshipped!"
Upon arriving in front of the next temple, Inoue Harusa said slowly.
Ye Ming spoke coldly, "What Tengu? I see nothing but a re mutt."
As he finished speaking, a loud bang erupted from the temple. The grand doors of Tengu Temple collapsed with a crash, raising a cloud of dust that frightened the worshippers inside.
Ye Ming stepped over the collapsed door and entered, demanding, "Where is the dog demon? Co out and et your death!"
As the goddess of Tengu Temple, Nanako was furious as she questioned, "Inoue Harusa, our two temples have always kept to themselves. Why did you bring soone here today?"
Without waiting for Inoue Harusa to speak, Ye Ming had already said, "She’s just showing the way, the troublemaker is ."
"A man from Dragon Country? Dares to co to our Tengu Temple and make noise, seeking death!" Nanako shouted through clenched teeth, "Mister Sorcerer, please take action!"
At her command, a man in a long robe erged from a corner of the temple.
With a grand wave of his hand, a group of guards in armor leaped out from all around the temple.
Their eyes were hollow, their expressions blank; they had been mind-controlled, void of any life force in their bodies, rivaling the Human Puppets of Wanhua Valley.
However, each of them was bound by a chain of True Qi.
One end of the chains was attached to their bodies, while the other end was held in the hands of the Magician, controlling the puppets in this manner.
Since they were already dead, Ye Ming felt no moral burden, and his strikes were all the more decisive.
He wielded his sword blade as he charged into the crowd, his random swings creating a blurred ss of blood and flesh, the scene shockingly grueso.
In just the blink of an eye, these puppets had been completely annihilated without a single survivor.
Seeing the dire situation, the Onmyoji imdiately tried to slip away, but Ye Ming wouldn’t give him the chance. Leaping forward, he appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
"Since I’ve co, I won’t let any of you go."
After speaking, Ye Ming grabbed the collar of his opponent and hoisted him with one hand.
With a clatter, an ancient-looking stick fell to the ground, still brimming with an abundance of True Qi.
After observing for a mont, Ye Ming raised an eyebrow. It was, in fact, a fine piece of Thunderstruck Wood.
He pocketed it casually and then drained all the True Qi from the body of the Onmyoji before him.
The Tengu Temple was silent, and only goddess Nanako was still standing there, stunned.
Ye Ming asked, "Is this all your Tengu Temple can muster? Won’t you have your dog demon show up?"
"I’ll count to three. If the dog demon doesn’t show itself, I’ll tear down your temple."
Nanako was terrified and infuriated, her eyes glaring furiously at Ye Ming and Inoue Harusa.
"You brazen thieves, daring to make trouble in our Tengu Temple, don’t expect to leave alive! Great Tengu, please manifest and protect your worshippers!" Nanako knelt on the ground, knocking her head on the floor with devout sincerity.
From a dark corner, the growl of a wild beast echoed.
Inoue Harusa hurriedly hid behind Ye Ming, having sensed the danger, she said, "Mr. Ye, be careful!"
With her despair swept away, Nanako’s face broke into a smirk of triumph. "The Great Tengu has manifested. You two scoundrels are finished!"
"Inoue Harusa, no matter what happened at your Fox Immortal Temple, it’s no excuse for you to cause trouble at our Tengu Temple. You will pay the price for this!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the growling sound grew closer and closer.
Ye Ming saw a huge creature suddenly leap out and pounce toward him.
Upon closer inspection, it was nothing more than a giant black-furred dog, its body radiating a strong demonic aura.
It opened its huge, gaping mouth, aiming for Ye Ming’s head, as if intending to swallow him whole.
Ye Ming spoke with disdain, "Do all the monsters in Neon City have such big appetites?"
Having said that, he slapped it with the back of his hand, hitting the dog’s head accurately.
The Tengu’s massive body instantly fell to the ground, letting out a howl.
"Lord Tengu?" Nanako was in utter shock; she couldn’t have imagined that the formidable Lord Tengu would be brought down by a slap.
"It’s just a slightly larger dog, yet it dares to call itself a Tengu, how presumptuous!" Ye Ming’s expression grew cold as he slowly approached the Tengu and used the Soul Transfer Spell to extract its soul.
Another transparent bead condensed in Ye Ming’s hand.
This Tengu’s demon soul was not even as good as the Dark-Body Raven from before.
Ye Ming was sowhat disappointed as he looked at Inoue Harusa and said, "Next!"
...
For the entire day that followed, every temple, big and small within Neon City, suffered significant damage. It wasn’t just that the temples were being smashed; even the deities enshrined within were personally slain by soone.
Neon City was in complete chaos, leaving people in a state of panic.
Temples that had yet to be attacked began to think of the safety of their own, with so even closing their doors montarily to lie low, gathering together to discuss their next move.
Such an incident was unprecedented for them, and they had no idea how to respond.
It wasn’t until the sky gradually darkened that Ye Ming returned to the competition venue.
Today’s competition had ended, and there was no doubt that the Falcon Squad had given their old rivals, the Tiger Team, a terrible beating, a sight too pitiful to witness.
All mbers of the Tiger Team, except for the coach, who could not participate, ended up in the hospital.
The mbers of the Falcon Squad were unhard, except for Lik Jian who had gotten too carried away during the duel and injured his arm.
Seeing Ye Ming return, everyone happily reported the outco to him.
"Instructor Ye, we achieved a complete victory!"
Lik Jian said with a chuckle.
Upon seeing the injury on Lik Jian’s hand, Ye Ming imdiately took out an elixir for Lik Jian to swallow and helped set his bones.
After the simple procedure, Lik Jian was surprised to find himself all right.
"There are still many matches to co, you must take care of your body and not hurt yourself!"
Ye Ming advised.
Lik Jian, feeling a bit embarrassed, quickly thanked Ye Ming.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yating’s mood finally improved sowhat. Other team coaches were anxiously following the competition, while Ye Ming, the hands-off manager, had completely disregarded the condition of his group mbers.
Now, he had taken the initiative to heal Lik Jian’s wounds, proving that he did care a great deal about the Falcon Squad.
Wang Yating convinced herself to approach Ye Ming to thank him, but before she could speak, Ye Ming had already turned and left.
"Uh, Captain, don’t be mad, Instructor Ye might have important matters to attend to!" Lik Jian, who had just been healed by Ye Ming, ca over to persuade her.
