712 Xianxia Challanger!

Reima raises a brow at him, "That girl has literally got a chainsaw, and you're telling me this?" he asks in disbelief.

Xia-Long "Enough talk, you will not leave here alive." he says as he backs away with his hand in his pocket.

Routier gives a shout as she charges at Reima, her chainsaw giving off a roar as she swings it towards him.

Reima smacks the side of it away and flicks the girl on her forehead, sending her flying back at her master.

Xia-Long dodges his flying servant and points his skull-topped cane at Reima...

*BANG!*

A burst of smoke occurs and covers the room, however Reima's Observation Haki makes him aware of something strange that'd appeared where Xia-Long was pointing.

Xia-Long "Unlike most brutes you've no doubt faced, I prefer to meld my two passions... Nature, and man-made destruction!" he shouts as the smoke clears, revealing a large plant with the barrel of a gun connected to it.

...

Reima glares at it as if it'd insulted his mother, "What the fuck is-" *BANG!*

The plant-gun-thing had fired a magical projectile that hits Reima in the chest... And does nothing.

...

Xia-Long looks at Reima thoughtfully, "I wonder what kind of Yokai you actually are?" he wonders aloud.

Reima "I'll give you a hint if you start spilling your secrets." he says with a grin.

Xia-Long "Hmm, this one creature apparently isn't enough to stop you? Then, how about this!" he shouts, smoke yet again filling the room.

Reima telekinetically opens a nearby window and blows it all out, getting tired of feeling as if he were inside a rave... He looks at the new creatures summoned and sighs, "Oh gee, what a surprise... More Plant-Guns..." he says, waving his hand and causing fire to envelop and destroy them.

Xia-Long's eyes widen as he sees Reima easily destroy his summons... "Fine! IF THAT WON'T DO, THEN TAKE THIS!" he shouts, summoning something so large that it causes the ceiling to crumble, the young man taking refuge under his summon as the building collapses atop them.

Reima casts a Quen shield around him and waits as the dust slowly settles, the only thing still standing being him and the humungous plant with what looks like an artillery cannon connected to it.... "This is really, really stupid... I doubt even a nuclear blast would hurt me, and yet you're summoning this shit?" he asks aloud as Xia-Long crawls out with Routier, both completely covered in dust.

Xia-Long "You lie stranger! You'll not be able to withstand the Miao clans techniques!" he shouts as the plant fires at Reima... Who slaps the magical projectile away which causes it to explode in the sky like a firework...

Routier rapidly swings her chainsaw at the now demonic blade-plant that'd turned on them, only barely managing to hold them off as Xia-Long starts pummeling one with his cane.

Xia-Long "What have you done to my summons!" he screams in fury.

Reima shrugs, "A simple change in Aesthetic. I think I prefer them this way actually." he says, walking towards the duo as they desperately destroy the Humanity corrupted plants.#

Xia-Long "Enough! I will give everything, even my life-force to defeat you!" he shouts, chanting a spell and casting it at Reima, falling to his knees in exhaustion immediately afterward.

*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!*

Numerous plants of every kind begin exploding from the ground around Reima, Gatling guns, rocket launchers, pistols, shotguns, and any other you can conceive of can be seen atop the plants, all pointing at Reima.

Reima crosses his arms, "This didn't work before, why would it work-"

*BAAAAANGBANGABNGBANGBANGBANG!*

A volley of explosions go off as every weapon fires simultaneously at Reima, magical bullets, rockets, and grenades are shot at him and add to the destruction. It's around three minutes later when the final plant seems to run out of ammunition, Routier looking on while giving her master a lap pillow, hoping that the enemy had been defeated.

Something starts glowing within the dust cloud, however, causing her instincts to flare... She picks up Xia-Long and starts running, but its already too late to get out of the area of effect...

*BOOM!*

An explosion is released from Reima's plan which causes a fiery wall to expand outwards, incinerating all the nearby plants and hitting Routier in the back, flinging her a few meters away.

She slowly rolls to a stop with Xia-Long in her arms unconscious, both of them covered in horrific burns.

Reima sweatdrops as he looks around at the destruction, not having intended to kill the Xianxia character or his servant. "Fuck, if this means I have to go looking for another lead then I'm going to resurrect your Chinese ass." he mutters stomping over to the injured duo.

Routier looks up at the completely uninjured Reima and begs, "Please sir, don't hurt us! We were wrong! We failed to recognize Mount Tai!" she shouts.

Reima rubs his face, pulling out some healing potions and dumping it over their heads before opening a portal and telekinetically dragging them both through it.

They end up within a cell in the Painted World, screams could already be heard from some poor tortured soul...

The scream stop as small feet rapidly tap against the ground, eventually appearing on the other side of the bars.

Hinky "Master! Have you brought more toys!?!" they ask excitedly.

Reima grins, "Yes Hinky... I have." he says, looking down menacingly at the burned duo.
