"What!" Sha Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.
These Half-Dead Persons were the result of his dedicated research, each possessing extraordinary combat power. Although they were far weaker than him, not just anyone could defeat them, especially not so quickly and decisively.
With his specially modified body, the Half-Dead Persons could recover rapidly, almost to the point of being immortal. However, this recovery was not instantaneous; it required time. During this interval, he would have to confront the enemy himself.
How strong was Sha Yi, who focused on soul research, in actual combat?
"Hey!" A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead, but Sha Yi suddenly smiled.
"Your strength is truly beyond my expectations, but you still have a long way to go!"
With a roar, Sha Yi quickly formed seals with his hands and tapped on himself repeatedly.
"Come forth! Great Tengu!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, a faint blue aura emerged from Sha Yi's body, resembling the manifestation of Ye Mingshang's Killing Intent. Just looking at this aura indicated that an extraordinary Fellow was about to appear.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The momentum brought with it a strong gust of wind that sent dust and debris flying everywhere. Ye Mingshang couldn't help but squint and shield his face with his arm to avoid the fierce wind.
Sha Yi's aura grew stronger and stronger, the blue light around him flaring up like flames. The more intense the flames burned, the stronger his momentum became.
"Ugh!! Ahhh!!!"
Sha Yi crouched slightly, both hands raised in encouragement. His eyes bulged wide open as he shouted, as if he were under immense pressure.
Crash!
Debris flew everywhere, with fragments of stone, rotten wood, and tiles scattered around. Everything within a ten-meter radius of Sha Yi seemed to have defied gravity, floating into the air.
Crack!
The ground beneath his feet began to crack, forming spiderweb-like fissures that grew deeper towards the center.
Centered on Sha Yi, the phenomenon spread outward.
The entire process lasted about a minute, during which his momentum grew stronger, toppling the nearby Stilt Houses and even sending the robust Half-Dead Persons flying.
Faintly, electric sparks flickered around him, and the bluish light became more pronounced, wrapping around his body like a circle of 'flames.'
Roar!
With overwhelming momentum, a massive head appeared behind him, fierce and roaring.
Seeing this scene, Ye Mingshang squinted and casually deflected a flying stone.
Everything calmed down; the raging wind ceased, and the earth's cracking stopped. The floating debris and broken tiles fell back to the ground.
Everything returned to how it was at the beginning, except for the collapsed houses, the spiderweb-like cracks in the ground, and the scattered bodies of Half-Dead Persons, all testifying to the previous unrest.
Sha Yi, nearly bent over, slowly straightened up. His eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain as he let out a slightly hoarse chuckle.
"Hey! How's it going? Feeling scared yet? Hahaha!"
Sha Yi's muscles were taut, stretching his oversized outer garment tightly. His exposed arms were covered in bulging muscles and twisted veins like worms.
His hair stood upright in spikes, resembling a porcupine.
Crackling!
The arc of Azure flickered, and Sha Yi clenched his fist, making a sound like tearing fabric.
Everything indicated that he was no longer ordinary but possessed a terrifying, almost destructive power.
However, what truly concerned Ye Mingshang was the enormous azure head behind him.
It was a wolf's head towering about ten feet high; no, it should be called a Dog-headed creature, as a wolf's head is not this wide but rather narrow. This appearance resembled that of a mastiff but was leaner and more domineering.
Great Tengu!
Ye Mingshang was astonished. He understood the origins of the Great Tengu; it was precisely because he understood that he was even more shocked.
The Great Tengu, along with the Nine-Tailed Fox and Shōtoku Taishi, is known as one of Japan's three most notorious yokai. Especially this Great Tengu, which has significant roots, is an incarnation of Emperor Kōtoku. It is not only a powerful demon but also a guardian deity of Japan, having resided in the Abe family for generations, protecting them with health and prosperity.
How could such an important guardian deity for Japan be here, in the hands of this Fellow, becoming his Shikigami?
Confusion and disbelief.
"I find it strange that the Great Tengu, which went missing a few years ago, would be with you," Ye Mingshang furrowed his brow and asked.
According to rumors, the Great Tengu that had guarded the Abe family for generations had vanished years ago. Although they tried to suppress it vigorously, how could news that had already spread be completely concealed?
At that time, Ye Mingshang happened to be visiting the Iga Ninja and accidentally heard about the disappearance of the Great Tengu, which piqued his interest.
Sha Yi smirked lightly and said, "My trump card in Asura Hall is Shikigami. The Great Tengu is undoubtedly the strongest Shikigami. Is there a problem with me wanting it as my Shikigami?"
"Hmph~ You make it sound like he would willingly become your Shikigami just because you want him to. He is one of Japan's strongest yokai; it seems you are not enough to command him," Ye Mingshang scoffed at him with a dismissive glance.
Sha Yi smiled, giving off a strange feeling. "Great Tengu is a thousand-year-old demon, a guardian deity, and the king among Shikigami. If someone else defeated him, that would be one thing, but as for me, I play Shikigami, and in pure strength, I am definitely not his match."
Saying this, he smiled oddly again. "However, who says that subduing him must rely on strength?"
"What else can you rely on if not strength? Is it your identity? Your father isn't Li Gang, is he?" Ye Mingshang said disdainfully, delivering a ruthless blow.
Sha Yi did not get angry; at least on the surface, he did not show any anger. He chuckled lightly and said, "You are half right. It is indeed because of my identity that I can obtain Great Tengu. However, don't compare me to something like Li Gang; that joke is too cliché."
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Sha Yi's eyes, and his expression became somewhat arrogant.
"My own strength is naturally evident, but even if I were the most outstanding Shikigami master, I could not obtain Great Tengu. But what if my surname were Abe?"
Ye Mingshang narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Are you saying you are from the Abe family?"
"That's right. My full name is not just Sha Yi; it is Abe Sha Yi," Sha Yi replied without hiding it.
This statement had some merit. Sha Yi's breakthrough in the realm of souls and his research into Half-Dead Persons undoubtedly indicated that he was a genius.
Creating Asura Hall by himself and managing hundreds of powerful Shikigami speaks volumes about his abilities.
