Chapter 751: Chapter 754: Lending a Hand

Yang Chen stood still, hands on his hips, looking quite displeased. He didn't even bother to raise his head, still simmering in his frustration. If it weren't for his pride as a man, he might have pouted like a little girl!

This scene, observed by the members of Takamagahara and Blue Storm, naturally led them to believe that Yang Chen had lost his cultivation, and he hadn't even realized that Nurarihyon's attack was already upon him. Both sides felt disdainful.

The blade flashed as the sharp edge of the Mikazuki Munechika finally struck Yang Chen's wrist.

"Hmm?"

It was unclear who made the first sound of doubt, but the expressions of the crowd, who had been entirely indifferent, now showed a hint of strangeness.

The Mikazuki Munechika had indeed slashed at Yang Chen's hand, but the demon-slaying blade didn't even scratch his skin, let alone sever the tendons and cause blood to splatter on the spot.

Yang Chen finally glanced at Nurarihyon indifferently, "Is that it?"

Nurarihyon's sinisterly handsome face showed a hint of surprise. He then flashed back a few steps, saying, "It seems that although you've lost your cultivation, your body remains as strong as before. A casual attack won't be enough to harm your flesh."

Yang Chen couldn't be bothered to explain. He continued to stand there, lost in thought about what he needed to do next, with no interest in how these people planned to attack him.

Feeling slighted, a hunched figure cloaked in black from Takamagahara approached Nurarihyon with a sharp whistle. In a hoarse, rough voice, he said, "Commander, since this guy's body is so tough, there's no need for you to exert yourself. Let me have a go. Without his Yanxia cultivation, no matter how tough his body is, it must have its limits, hehe..."

Nurarihyon chuckled softly, "Araguro, just don't make the harbor too messy."

"No, no, feel free to use whatever means necessary," Saideri said nonchalantly from behind. "You needn't worry about the extent of the damage. We've already contacted the police to seal off the area, so no one will get close, no matter what happens."

"Hehe." Araguro laughed sharply. "In that case, I won't hold back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two muddy yellow lights flickered from within the black cloak, which then flew aside, revealing the true form beneath!

A skeleton, exaggeratedly large and entirely yellowish-brown, appeared before everyone!

Apart from two flickering yellow flames in its hollow eye sockets, the skeleton was completely empty. Every bone was shrouded in chaotic black poisonous mist, adding to its eerie appearance.

Some of the elite SEALs, seeing that their ally was such a terrifying figure, couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Araguro was said to be a demon formed from the lingering resentment of soldiers who died in ancient battles in Sakuramoto and whose remains were never buried. Besides the rotten corpse poison gathered from countless bodies, the skeleton, condensed from the essence of millions of bones, was unimaginably strong.

Upon revealing its true form, Araguro began to rapidly expand, his bones thickening and lengthening. He grew to over twice his previous size, becoming a massive skeleton about three meters tall, surrounded by black mist!

"Hades, let me see how tough you really are!"

The massive skeleton, speaking in a deep voice, moved with the speed of lightning, taking a single stride to reach Yang Chen!

"Boom—"

Moreover, even though Araguro's corpse poison was lethal even to yokai, Yang Chen had inhaled it without any reaction, only complaining about the stench.

Yang Chen raised his head indifferently, his expression one of complete disinterest, and softly said, "Disappear."

No one understood what Yang Chen meant by "disappear." What was supposed to disappear?

But what happened next sent chills down everyone's spines, their hearts plunging into a dark, muddy swamp of fear.

The once mighty Araguro, towering and menacing, suddenly began to disintegrate. Every bone in his body, as if it had been weathered by centuries of desert winds and rain, crumbled to dust at the slightest touch!

Yes, bit by bit, like tiny grains of sand, Araguro's bones dissolved before their very eyes, vanishing into the sea breeze!

The yellow flames in Araguro's eye sockets were the last to extinguish. When they died out, his entire skeleton and the surrounding black mist had already disappeared without a trace.

"How could this be...?" The red-clad female yokai, Maokoujiki, covered her mouth, trembling as she staggered backward in horror.

The SEAL team members were dumbfounded, their hands shaking as they clutched their guns.

Saideri and Stark stood frozen, their faces stiff with fear.

At that moment, everyone understood one thing—this man hadn't lost his power at all!

Nurarihyon's expression darkened, and his killing intent began to spread. Gripping his Mikazuki Munechika tightly, he said, "I can't understand how you managed to kill my subordinate without any energy fluctuations. But it's clear your power remains unfathomable. Since we miscalculated, it seems we have no choice but to fight to the death."

"Commander, let us assist you!" Maokoujiki shouted, exchanging a determined look with the handsome male yokai beside her, both making the decision to fight to the death.

In an instant, Maokoujiki's long, black hair began to dance wildly, transforming into countless sharp "hair arrows" that shot out like a deadly storm, each one lethal and shrieking through the air, all aimed at Yang Chen!

At the same time, the male yokai's head detached from his neck and flew off without anyone noticing!

The headless body swiftly performed a series of intricate gestures, while in the air, the severed head used its ears as wings. Threads shot out from the head's mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, all nearly invisible but capable of slicing through jade.

These threads, almost imperceptible and razor-sharp, quickly tightened around Yang Chen, trapping him in a confined space!

"Secret Technique: Mirror Still Water, Sakura—"

Nurarihyon, in perfect sync with his two subordinates, once again became a blur. Surrounding Yang Chen, countless pink sakura petals began to fall.

These sakura petals, like raindrops, created ripples in the air as they drifted closer to Yang Chen's body. As they neared him, the delicate petals transformed into clusters of golden, fiery yokai flames!

Seeing Takamagahara's remaining three yokai suddenly unleash their full power, Saideri and Stark's faces lit up with joy. These individuals were indeed extraordinary; perhaps there was still a chance!

The piercing hair arrows, the cutting threads, and the blazing sakura petals formed an inescapable deadly prison around Yang Chen!
