Chapter 413: Death Calling

Looking around the shrine, Chu Jiang randomly pointed in a direction and said, "The second one."

With his calm voice, a distant "thud~" sounded, indicating that another member of the Kujo family had died without any resistance.

"The third one."

"Splash~" A new corpse fell into the pond.

After Chu Jiang killed three people, the remaining ones finally realized that Chu Jiang could "see through" their hiding places. They quickly moved to different locations to try and make it difficult for Chu Jiang to locate them.

In theory, this is indeed a good method. But as the saying goes, even the scariest means must hit the target first.

At the same time, the Ghost Masters of the Kujo family didn’t want to sit and wait, so they all started to fight back one by one.

Just as all kinds of ghosts and monsters’ powers rushed towards them like a tide, Chu Jiang revealed a black sun wheel, using it to block the attacks. At the same time, he pulled out a long knife from his left hand, with rainwater on the blade.

He started humming a classic rain nursery rhyme from his childhood in the island country, which he learned while watching cartoons.

"Rain, rain, fall, fall, mommy~"

"Please welcome me home with a snake-eye umbrella, how delightful~"

As he sang, the sky really started to drizzle with small raindrops, even though there were no dark clouds.

Moreover, these strange raindrops penetrated through the roof and fell on every person in the Kujo shrine.

Of course, many cautious Ghost Masters immediately used various supernatural powers to block or evaporate the rainwater, preventing it from directly falling on themselves.

Seeing this cloudless rain, Kujo Kazuki immediately associated it with the situation in the Ghost Abyss. Could it be that Chu Jiang was controlling Yamata no Orochi?!

No, this can’t be true… He started to feel a coldness in his heart. And there was no response from the Soga family, they seemed to have no interest in getting involved in this mess.

Kujo Kazuki clenched his teeth and made up his mind, there was no turning back this time!

Suddenly, a crack opened up on the ground of the shrine, and a huge mouth full of blood appeared, trying to swallow Chu Jiang completely.

At the same moment, the holy angel appeared in the sky once again, holding a shining spear symbolizing justice and victory, and threw it down towards Chu Jiang.

However, Chu Jiang only held a long knife and stood there quietly humming, seeming to have lost the will to resist.

In the intense explosion of sound and light, Chu Jiang was first pierced by the spear, and then swallowed by the giant mouth.

But just as the Ghost Masters of the Kujo family finally had a glimmer of hope, a calm voice came from the giant mouth, "The fourth one."

Then they saw a female body suddenly falling from the dazzling angel in the sky.

Yes, that Ghost Master hid himself inside the ghost he controlled, moving together with the ghost to avoid being locked on.

But despite that, she couldn’t escape the fate of death. When the body fell, her eyes were wide open, as if she had no idea that she would die so easily.

The angel immediately transformed into a murky black shadow, returning to the body of the female Ghost Master. After about five to ten minutes, it would break free from the host’s body, revive, and become an independent entity…

"The fifth one."

"The sixth one."

Chu Jiang’s speed began to increase, and everyone present lost sight of him, except for the constant sound of urgency.

Finally, someone couldn’t bear it anymore. A small figure, dressed like a ninja from an island country, dashed out from a corner of the shrine. He knelt on the ground, sobbing and bowing repeatedly.

"Lord Chu Jiang! Please spare me. It was the Kujo family who forced me to come and deal with you. I had no choice but to believe that this battle had no chance of victory."

"I still have an elderly mother to support, a wife and children waiting for me to come home for dinner. Please give me a way out. I’m willing to do anything…"

After quickly shouting these Japanese words, he also said two sentences in broken Mandarin, "Hello" and "I’m sorry."

Other people who saw this scene had different reactions: some looked down upon this person, some empathized with him, some were scared and worried. But most people were waiting to see how Chu Jiang would handle it — would he directly kill this foolish person?

It can be said that Chu Jiang’s next decision would affect the choices of everyone.

"It’s simple, really. The Kujo family involves tens of thousands of people, and I don’t have the time to go around killing them one by one. But the person behind this plot to kill me must die. If you can reveal the planner and follow my instructions, I won’t mind giving you a way out."

The crowd still couldn’t see Chu Jiang’s figure, and after he finished speaking, Soga Hayayuki translated his words for him.

Finally, Hayayuki added, "In my role as an official representative of the Peaceful Spirit Garden, I declare: Kujo Yoshii’s plot against our partners is an unforgivable crime. It may ignite a full-scale war between our country, Kyushu, Peaceful Spirit Garden, and Research Institute No. 21."

"Therefore, Peaceful Spirit Garden has decided to eliminate the head of the Kujo family for their evil deeds. That’s why I came with Chu Jiang. I am a witness, representing our country’s official stance."

"Lastly, I remind you all that the Soga family’s reinforcements have arrived and there is still a chance for immediate surrender. After this incident, Peaceful Spirit Garden will officially take over everything related to the Kujo family."

As the young lady spoke, a large number of figures appeared outside of the Anutpattika Enchantment, including ground forces, Ghost Masters flying in the air, and even formations of helicopters and fighter jets, circling around the mountain peak.

This made everyone in the Kujo family realize that they were surrounded, and the situation was already against them…

Even the official forces are on Chu Jiang’s side, what else could it be but a lost cause?

At the same time, they also realized why they had started fighting while the hidden support forces that had been set up earlier didn’t show up. It turned out they had been intercepted by Soga’s men.

"I surrender!"

"I am also willing to surrender!"

The Ghost Masters of the Kujo family suddenly came out cautiously from all directions. Each of them raised their hands, dropped their weapons, and approached the first Ghost Master who surrendered, kneeling down together.

They never imagined that this battle would end so quickly, and with their complete defeat.

Of course, the most terrifying thing was they realized they had greatly underestimated Chu Jiang’s power. Is this what it means to be at a godlike level?

Facing them was an absolute slaughter, whoever they pointed at, died. No matter what kind of ghost they were, none of them could protect their lives.

………

Even though most of the Ghost Masters who were still alive had surrendered one after another, there was one person who never showed up.

That’s right, it’s Kujo Kazuki.

"Why?"

A voice filled with resentment echoed somewhere in the shrine, "Soga family, you’re betraying your country!"

Kujo Kazuki never expected that the Soga family not only refused to cooperate with them but even sided with Chu Jiang.

Soga Hayayuki let out a sigh, "You were too greedy, and your understanding of the Chu’s Jiang lineage, the contemporary Chu’s Jiang, was far too little."

"To be honest, in our eyes, ever since the Kujo family became greedy for the Chu’s Jiang, you were inevitably heading towards destruction; whereas we always stood on the side of what was right…"
