Chapter 252 Fellow Daoist, please wait!
Having just appraised a Chinese deity, Su Fan hadn't even had a chance to take a sip of water to moisten his throat when the red secure phone on the table started blaring a piercing buzzer.
This phone line goes directly to the highest command center; it would never ring at this hour unless it was something extremely urgent.
Su Fan answered the phone, and Mo Lao's extremely serious voice, even carrying a hint of suppressed anger, came through the receiver.
"Su Fan, something's happened."
"An urgent report has just come from the East China Sea defense line: a group of unidentified intruders have appeared on the edge of the sea area where the goddess Mazu manifested her power."
Su Fan raised an eyebrow: "Unidentified? The Koreans still haven't given up?"
"Not South Korea."
Old Mo's voice carried a chill, "It's the land of cherry blossoms."
Su Fan was stunned for a moment.
The land of cherry blossoms?
Wasn't the Sakura Kingdom destroyed by them? How come there are still Sakura Kingdom's guardians?!
"Didn't they destroy their country?" Su Fan asked.
"We thought they were all dead too," Old Mo said through gritted teeth.
"But now it seems that a group of powerful people and people with special abilities slipped away like rats before we wiped them out, and have been hiding in the shadows, barely surviving."
"Now that they see Mazu awakening, they can't sit still anymore."
"Satellite surveillance shows that this group of people are wearing Onmyoji hunting robes and are moving across the sea as if it were flat ground. Moreover, their methods are extremely strange, and our regular patrol boats and the Onmyoji squads cannot stop them at all."
"Miss Lin has just awakened and is currently unconscious due to exhaustion of her divine power, making her unable to fight. Su Fan, regarding this matter..."
Su Fan held the microphone, a cold smile on his face.
"It's alright, Mr. Mo."
"A bunch of stray dogs, trying to come back and bite people?"
"Since they don't want to hide properly and insist on coming out to die, then let's grant their wish."
"Lin Qingge needs to rest. Perfect timing, I just found a powerful weapon for China to deal with all kinds of dissent."
Su Fan hung up the phone and dialed the number he had just saved.
……
A certain sea area in the East China Sea.
The night was deep, and the sea breeze howled.
Three patrol boats belonging to the Huaxia Coast Guard were sailing at full speed on the sea, their searchlight beams sweeping back and forth across the dark water.
"Report! Radar indicates the target is 500 meters ahead!"
"Be on guard! The opponent might be a Divine Guardian!"
The soldiers on the patrol boat all looked tense, gripping their weapons tightly.
Although they are just ordinary people, Chinese soldiers have never retreated even a step in the face of foreign enemies.
Just then, eerie, ghostly blue flames suddenly lit up on the sea ahead.
One regiment, two regiments, three regiments...
There were hundreds of will-o'-the-wisps floating and dancing on the sea surface, turning the surrounding water a ghastly green.
In the center of the will-o'-the-wisp, a dozen figures were slowly walking forward, stepping on the waves.
They wore tall eboshi hats, loose white hunting robes, and carried folding fans. Their faces were covered with thick white powder, and their lips were bright red, making them look like dead people who had just crawled out of their coffins.
The leader, an Onmyoji, was about forty years old and had a sinister look in his eyes.
His name is Abe Ryuichi, and he claims to be a descendant of the great Onmyoji.
"Hmph, Chinese ships."
Ryuichi Abe looked at the patrol boat approaching from the front and said in a strange and sharp tone:
"What a repulsive smell."
A young Onmyoji standing nearby asked:
"My lord, shall we make a move? The black-robed lord's mission for us is to test the strength of Mazu, the Heavenly Queen of China."
"A test?"
Abe Ryuichi sneered and slammed his folding fan shut.
"No, I want them to know that even if we lose our land, the Yin-Yang arts of our Great Sakura Empire will still be the strongest power in the world!"
"That so-called Mazu was nothing but a flash in the pan."
"Move it! Sink all these mortal iron shells to the bottom of the sea to feed the shikigami!"
After saying that, Abe Ryuichi took out a stack of paper talismans cut into human shapes from his pocket and casually tossed them into the air.
"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! A hundred ghosts roam the night!"
hula-
Those paper talismans burned to ashes in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, the black mist churned.
One by one, grotesque and ferocious-looking monsters emerged from the black mist.
There were winged tengu, a one-eyed monk, and a water ghost soaking wet...
These shikigami, which originally existed only in legends, now appeared in reality on the sea, emitting a series of chilling roars as they rushed towards the patrol boat.
"Fire! Fire now!"
The commander on the patrol boat shouted.
Da da da da!
The heavy machine gun spat out flames, and a dense barrage of bullets poured out like a torrential rain.
However, a devastating scene unfolded.
The bullets hit the shikigami as if they were hitting thin air, passing right through without causing any real damage.
Only a few weaker water ghosts were scattered, but they quickly reformed in the black mist.
"Foolish mortals."
Ryuichi Abe stood on the sea, watching this scene with a mocking expression on his face.
"Physical attacks are ineffective against spirits. Don't you even know this basic common sense?"
"Go, my darlings, enjoy your feast!"
A giant tengu let out a strange cry and swooped down, its sharp claws grabbing the railing of the patrol boat and yanking it hard.
crunch--
The sound of steel twisting and turning rang out, and the sturdy railing was torn apart as if it were made of paper.
"what!"
Several soldiers were unable to dodge in time and were knocked to the ground by the blast wave.
Just as those hideous monsters were about to rush onto the deck and unleash a massacre.
Despair shone in the eyes of the soldiers on the patrol boat, but even more so, there was a resolute determination.
They drew their tactical knives, preparing for a final hand-to-hand combat.
At this critical moment.
Rumbling--
Suddenly, a tremendous roar of engines filled the sky.
A supersonic transport plane cut through the night sky and roared in.
"Hmm? More reinforcements?" Abe Ryuichi looked up, curled his lip in disdain, and said, "No matter how many come, they're just going to their deaths."
The transport plane's cabin door opened at an altitude of 1,000 meters.
A dark figure was seen from above...
It's less like he jumped down and more like he was kicked down.
Accompanied by a series of heart-wrenching screams:
"Aaaaaah! I'm not jumping! I have a fear of heights! Help!!!"
The sound was incredibly mournful, echoing through the night sky, leaving everyone below stunned.
What kind of tactic is this?
Airdropping live people?
Bang!
A loud bang.
The dark figure didn't crash into a bloody pulp; instead, it was caught by a sudden burst of purplish-black mist when it was still more than ten meters above the sea.
Then, the cloud of mist drifted down and finally stopped in front of the patrol boat, opposite the group of Onmyoji.
The fog dissipated.
Its true form was revealed.
It was a young man wearing wrinkled pajamas, with hair like a bird's nest, and wearing one slipper on his feet, the other of which had just fallen into the sea.
It was Zhao Dabao, who had just been at home questioning the meaning of life.
At this moment, Zhao Dabao's face was deathly pale, his legs were shaking like a leaf, and he was dry heaving.
"Ugh...too fast...ugh...can't we at least prepare ourselves mentally...?"
The entire room fell silent.
The soldiers on the patrol boat were dumbfounded.
This...this is the support sent from above?
Is this the secret weapon that's supposed to save the day?
This is so unreliable!
The Onmyoji opposite were stunned for a full three seconds before bursting into laughter.
"Hahaha! Is there no one left in China?"
"They actually sent a beggar?"
"Judging by his cowardly appearance, he's probably scared out of his wits."
Abe Ryuichi was laughing so hard he almost cried, pointing at Zhao Dabao with his folding fan, his face full of disdain:
"Kid, are you trying to be funny? If you're trying to make us laugh to death, then you've succeeded."
Zhao Dabao finally recovered. Hearing the mocking laughter from the other side, he looked up, glanced at the terrifying-looking shikigami, and then at the strange-looking onmyoji.
In the past, he probably would have fainted from fright.
but now……
He touched his brow.
There, a cold yet powerful force was pulsating.
That was the mark Shen Gongbao left on him.
Just before he arrived, Su Fan sent him a message with only one sentence:
"Zhao Dabao, do you want to pass on all the bad luck you've ever had to someone else?"
miss you!
I dream about it!
Zhao Dabao took a deep breath, and although his legs were still shaking, he forced himself to stand up straight.
At that moment, the purplish-black mist behind him suddenly surged.
A tall, sinister-looking Taoist figure, riding a black leopard, slowly appeared behind him.
The Taoist priest held a whisk in his hand, staring coldly at the Onmyoji in front of him, as if he were looking at a group of dead people.
Abe Ryuichi, who was laughing wildly, suddenly stopped.
He felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
That's... Kamui?!
Moreover, it was a divine power that had never been seen before, filled with ominousness and chaos!
"What...what is this?!"
Ryuichi Abe took a step back in alarm.
As Zhao Dabao looked at Abe Ryuichi, the words Su Fan had taught him came to mind.
He swallowed hard, then held up a finger and pointed at Ryuichi Abe.
Then, with all his might, he shouted out that classic line that would make even the gods and immortals of the Three Realms tremble in fear:
"Fellow Daoist!!!"
This loud roar, full of energy, carried far across the sea.
Abe Ryuichi instinctively wanted to turn around and run away.
His intuition told him that if he didn't run, something terrible would definitely happen.
However, Zhao Dabao had already shouted out the second half of his sentence:
"Please wait!!!"
Five words.
Every word was like thunder.
The moment the words fell.
It was as if no earth-shattering explosion had occurred in the world.
However, an invisible force of law suddenly descended upon this sea area.
That's cause and effect.
That was bad luck.
That's a terrifying experience—you could choke to death even from drinking cold water!
Abe Ryuichi had just turned around, intending to use his escape technique to flee.
Sudden.
"Ouch!"
This powerful Onmyoji actually tripped over his own foot with his left.
This is a basic mistake that would never happen under normal circumstances.
But he tripped and fell.
Moreover, this trip caused him to lose his balance and fall forward.
Not to die.
The folding fan he originally used to show off slipped from his hand due to inertia, and somehow the fan ribs popped out, their sharp edges resembling daggers.
puff!
It struck his shikigami, a giant toad monster, which he hadn't had time to retract.
"Croak!"
The toad monster, in pain, instinctively opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of poisonous mist.
This poisonous fog was originally intended to attack the Chinese.
As a result, it all ended up spraying onto Ryuichi Abe's face.
"Aaaaah! My eyes! My face!"
Abe Ryuichi let out a piercing scream and rolled on the sea surface, clutching his face.
But it's not over yet.
Because of the master's loss of control, the shikigami that were originally under control instantly fell into chaos.
The tengu seemed to have suddenly contracted rabies, turning around and slashing at the other onmyoji beside it.
"Baka! Are you crazy? It's me!"
The Onmyoji screamed and tried to retaliate, but the talisman in his hand suddenly burst into flames, setting his sleeve on fire.
"Fire! Fire! Help!"
He frantically tried to jump into the sea to put out the fire.
He jumped down.
It's sizzling!
A bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the sea.
It turned out to be an electric eel shikigami that, startled, indiscriminately discharged electricity.
The onmyoji who was on fire was instantly electrocuted and turned inside out, floating belly up like a dead fish.
In less than half a minute.
The once arrogant and domineering Onmyoji team from the Sakura Kingdom was now in complete chaos.
Those who killed each other, those who inexplicably slipped and broke their necks, those who were blown away by their own magic backlash...
The ways they die are incredibly varied; there's nothing they won't do, only things you can't imagine.
The once majestic Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has now turned into a brawl among the demons.
The Chinese soldiers on the patrol boat were dumbfounded.
They didn't even fire the gun.
Everyone gaped, their jaws practically dropping to the deck.
"This...this is our secret weapon?"
"This is unbelievable!"
"That Taoist priest... no, that deity, what exactly did he do? He just shouted out one sentence!"
The commander swallowed hard, his gaze towards Zhao Dabao shifting from suspicion to deep awe.
This is hardly support.
This guy is practically a living devil!
At this moment, Zhao Dabao was completely dumbfounded as he looked at the hellish scene before him.
He looked at his hands.
"Me... am I that amazing?"
The phantom of Shen Gongbao behind him let out a soft laugh.
The laughter was full of joy.
Clearly, He thoroughly enjoyed this feast of misfortune.
With only a breath left, half of Abe Ryuichi's body was already rotten. He struggled to raise his head, his only remaining eye staring intently at Zhao Dabao, his face full of resentment and fear.
"Who...who are you...?"
"Is this the god of China...? So...so despicable..."
Before Zhao Dabao could speak, Shen Gongbao's voice rang in his mind:
"Tell him that I will never change my name or surname."
Zhao Dabao subconsciously puffed out his chest and loudly repeated:
"I will not change my name or surname!"
"This is Shen Gongbao, a disciple of the Chan Sect!"
After saying that, Zhao Dabao suddenly felt that his momentum was a bit weak, so he imitated the chivalrous heroes on TV and added another sentence to Abe Ryuichi:
"Um... fellow Daoist, if you're still not convinced, how about we talk a bit more?"
"Could you please wait?"
puff!
Upon hearing those three words...
Ryuichi Abe felt as if he had heard a death knell.
Overwhelmed by anger and poison, he kicked his legs, his eyes bulged out, and he died on the spot!
This is the end.
The invading Sakura Kingdom Onmyoji squad was completely wiped out!
Not even a complete body was left behind.
The sea breeze carried away the heavy smell of blood.
Zhao Dabao stood on the sea, the sea breeze making his wrinkled pajamas flutter.
Although his appearance was still terrible, in everyone's eyes, his figure became incredibly tall.
