"Dammit, he is the Mayor's Secretary of Tongcheng!"
This is a spell that can trace back time. Using the blood of the deceased as a medium, it allows one to see the events from an hour before their death. However, the man had overestimated his subordinates. They couldn't even hold on for three minutes.
"A Chinese person? The Mayor's Secretary of Tongcheng?" The Fox-eyed Man said coldly. He would save the captured image with a talisman; this was evidence that could be used against those unscrupulous individuals in Huaxia in the future.
Suddenly, he felt a movement in his brow and whispered, "Mu Ling Yu Bi, gather Gu Bing Yao, Wu Yin Jin, Inu Oni, go!"
Behind the man, the air seemed to tear apart. A black dog, engulfed in ghostly flames, emerged from the rift, darting towards the southwest like a gale. There, a wisp of black smoke appeared and slowly coalesced into a suited man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and holding a cane.
It was Zuo Ci disguised as the Mayor's Secretary. Zuo Ci extended his cane and lightly tapped it on the forehead of the hellhound. Apricot Yellow Magic surged forth, condensing into a sharp sword-like aura aimed directly at the dog's head.
This was not a spell; it was pure magical power in action. The cultivation practitioner from Tongjing seemed to have undergone a qualitative change in their magical abilities. It could simulate any form of object and possessed terrifying lethality.
If it were Zuo Ci's Dao Xing, he too could simulate objects with his magical power. However, he could only replicate their shape without capturing their essence; it was far from the vividness stored within a Nine-section Staff.
Awooo!
The Apricot Yellow Magic transformed into a sword aura so swiftly that Inu Oni had no idea Zuo Ci could employ such tactics. The massive head was instantly severed by the sharp Apricot Yellow sword aura, yellowish-white matter spraying out.
Thud!
The body of Inu Oni fell to the ground from mid-air.
Is this thing a Shikigami? Zuo Ci wondered curiously.
"Respected cultivator from Huaxia, is what you are doing not a violation of the rules between our two nations regarding the Arena? Outside the Arena, fighting is strictly prohibited," the Fox-eyed Man said calmly.
"If you die, then no one will know," Zuo Ci grinned, displaying an intent to kill.
If one is to put on a show, it must be a complete performance.
He was aware that Eastern Japan would send experts to maintain order. Therefore, he deliberately left behind a presence here.
Indeed, this man not only had considerable cultivation but also possessed the rare ability of Rewind, a unique Shen Tong.
This was truly wonderful!
Zuo Ci could hardly wait to draw all the firepower towards the fictitious identity of Mayor's Secretary.
Using murder as a cover.
The Easterners were not fools; if he did not leave behind this presence, they would surely suspect his identity once they returned. After all, how could a third-rate city’s Mayor's Secretary slaughter experts from the Great Eastern Empire as if they were mere vegetables?
No one would fail to doubt it.
However, Zuo Ci's actions conveyed that Huaxia was vast and rich; even in a third-rate city, there would be powerful figures stationed, making them feel apprehensive and unable to afford doubts.
Yin-Yang Masters referred to this kind of lower-tier Ling Ti and supernatural beings as Shikigami.
Shikigami was a form of puppet technique practiced in Eastern Japan, summoning beings from another dimension using spiritual power. It differed from Puppet Technique in that he manipulated living beings. In simple terms, it bore great resemblance to Western summoning arts.
However, the existence of Shikigami was intertwined with the Shaman's abilities. The stronger the Shaman's mental power, the more formidable the Shikigami would become.
Ordinary people could also form contracts with spirits, but it required long-term effort to achieve the capabilities of an Yin-Yang Master. This was part of Eastern Japan's samurai tradition, where ordinary individuals often had their own Shikigami to protect their families and inherited Shikigami as well.
These were characteristics unique to Eastern Japan.
In contrast, Western summoning was much simpler. It was based on summoning beings and demons from other realms as Shu Fa.
I have heard that among the Yosan-kei in Eastern Japan, the Abe Family is most skilled in Shikigami techniques. It seems you share their surname?
"Zuo Ci," he laughed.
"I am Abe Masamune!"
The Fox-eyed Man nodded.
The way of Shikigami was first created by the Onmyoji Abe Seimei. The Abe Family is also the foremost among the Yosan-kei of Eastern Japan. Within the family, the Onmyoji are renowned for their contracts with various Shikigami.
It is said that the head of the Abe Family can sign contracts with twelve different Shikigami. These Twelve Shikigami are referred to as the Twelve Divine Generals.
