Chapter 414
by post_apiChapter 414: Kujo Kazuki, Come Out and Face Your Death
Chu Jiang’s figure appeared once again in the courtyard, and he looked completely unharmed, still holding the sword with a blade wet from raindrops.
So far, apart from Kujo Kazuki, there are about ten more people who haven’t surrendered. They are all loyal members of the Kujo family who would rather die than give up.
"Chu Jiang! Let’s have a fair and open one-on-one fight. I know I won’t be able to leave here alive today, but I want to prove to the world that you’re not better than me!"
This time, Kujo Kazuki’s voice came from a different direction.
He wasn’t really so arrogant. He deliberately used these words to provoke Chu Jiang, hoping to anger him and create an opportunity for himself…
However, Chu Jiang just shook his head, "You don’t have that chance."
After saying that, he looked at the Ghost Masters who had surrendered. They all hung their heads, seemingly waiting for a chance to be taken over and safely leave.
"I said I can give you a way out, but the condition is that you must first tell me who planned this."
The surrendering Ghost Masters looked at me, and I looked at them, but surprisingly, none of them took the initiative to stand up.
It’s not that they were stubborn. They had already let go of their pride and surrendered, so there was no room for stubbornness.
Since they surrendered, they must not be the important servants of the Kujo family, otherwise they would be eliminated by the Soga family later. If they are not important servants, how could they know the detailed plan?
The first man to surrender, a short man, took the initiative to explain.
After listening, Chu Jiang asked seriously, "Do you think I can just let you go like this? Don’t forget, all of you attacked me just now."
The man dressed as a ninja clenched his teeth and said, "Ah! I understand!"
Saying this, he stood up and shouted behind him, "Kujo Kazuki, come out and face death!"
"You are the ace of the Kujo family, even the head of the family values your opinion; you must have been involved in planning this operation. Come out and reveal the other participants, or you will undoubtedly die today!"
Hearing this guy righteously calling him out to die, Kujo Kazuki was so angry that he nearly spat blood.
This traitor, he doesn’t even remember his name, just a vaguely familiar minor character from the past. Now not only is he cowardly and treacherous, but he dares to say such things with an air of confidence?!
Kujo Kazuki originally wanted to immediately attack this guy, but he was afraid of revealing his actual location, so he just kept moving and said ominously, "You traitors will all die!"
Chu Jiang clapped his hands and said, "Okay, find and kill the rest of those people, and I will believe your sincerity. As for Kujo Kazuki…"
He pointed in a direction and then swiftly moved, leaving only blurry images in the air.
"You can run fast, but do you really think it’s useful?"
After speaking, Chu Jiang’s hand remained still in one direction.
In that moment, Kujo Kazuki felt a strong sense of danger in his heart! He knew he wasn’t in the direction Chu Jiang pointed to.
At this life-or-death moment, Kujo Kazuki suddenly remembered something:
It had been raining in the Ghost Abyss, and now it was raining at the shrine. In the Ghost Abyss, he had encountered incredible things. Now, at the shrine, he clearly saw Chu Jiang dying, but the other person miraculously didn’t get a single scratch.
Ultimately, Kujo Kazuki came to the conclusion that he was once again trapped in an illusion!
Understanding this, the experienced Kujo Kazuki suddenly broke free from the illusion.
At the moment he broke free, he didn’t have time to look around. He immediately disappeared.
Kujo Kazuki finally used this secret move, this ghost, he hardly used it in front of anyone.
On Chu Jiang’s side, he was a little surprised and put his hand down.
Earlier, Chu Jiang indeed used the illusion ability of Demon Sword Sky Crying. Kujo Kazuki thought he was evading everywhere, but in reality, he just stood still in one place.
This is why Chu Jiang was able to easily kill the female Ghost Master before. She thought she was attacking, but in reality, she was just standing there foolishly waiting to die.
However, when it comes to killing Aki this time, this guy can actually break free from the illusion? Then how did he "die" in The Tale of Taketori world before?
Chu Jiang shook his head, it seems he underestimated the first expert of the Kujo family.
Of course, this is also related to not fully unleashing the power of Sky Crying.
Currently, the strength of the illusion is only equivalent to any illusion world in Ghost Abyss, like "The Tale of Taketori" or "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio"; it’s even slightly weaker because Chu Jiang didn’t create a story world for Kujo Kazuki to enter.
However, Chu Jiang is now being affected by the cursed knife, and he can see that there is an extra "person" beside him.
This person looks exactly like him, as if it is another Chu Jiang.
But this "Chu Jiang" has a cold expression, and he even stares at the original body without blinking.
The "Chu Jiang" is wearing a blood-stained uniform from Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, with a big hole on his chest and his flesh and blood a mess.
This is clearly the same Chu Jiang who was pierced through the chest by Slender Man at school and then swallowed by Ghost Diary.
Now, the cursed knife seems to be trying to tell its user, "You are not Chu Jiang, the real Chu Jiang died a long time ago."
Chu Jiang just smiles in response, and this level of illusion cannot shake his true self.
No matter how Chu Jiang and Yihui compete with each other in wit and strategy, those loyal Ghost Masters who surrendered, upon hearing Chu Jiang’s orders, have started to besiege the remaining dozen or so hidden loyalists in order to save their own lives.
And this time, it is the small ninja man leading the charge again, it seems like he is really going all out.
Upon seeing this, Chu Jiang decided to retrieve the illusions he had placed on these two groups of Ghost Masters and let them fight on their own. Although Sky Crying’s power was strong, it should not be overused. It’s better to save some for later.
At this moment, Kujo Kazuki truly disappeared, and Chu Jiang could sense the presence of all living creatures but couldn’t detect a trace of this guy.
But it’s okay, Anutpattika Enchantment still prevented him from escaping.
Soga Hayayuki secretly communicated with Chu Jiang, informing him that there were strong members of the Soga family outside, keeping an eye on them. If anything were to escape from the barrier, the strong member would send an immediate alert.
Since that’s the case, let’s first take down this guy who is secretly using the [Anutpattika-dharma-ksanti].
Chu Jiang walked slowly towards the shrine while Soga Hayayuki guarded the entrance, paying attention to everything happening around them.
At this moment, Anutpattika Enchantment was still in effect. As long as the other party didn’t put it away, Chu Jiang’s Sun Ghost Domain could seamlessly connect to it. This meant that the Kujo family members would have no chance to escape, so they had no choice but to hold on.
