I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

Chapter 137: Brand New Protective Shield

Xinghan's consciousness lingered in the chaos for a moment, as if he had experienced a long and deep dream journey.

When he felt the movement around him again, he opened his eyes suddenly and found that he had miraculously regained consciousness.

The surrounding environment was still filled with the aftermath of the battle and the lingering smoke, but there was an unusual tranquility in the air.

He struggled to sit up, his eyes swept across the battlefield, finally stopping on two figures not far away.

The two men had their backs to him and were talking in low voices, their words revealing their eager search for someone—

"... Lord Kuroharuaki... He is not the person we are looking for."

The intermittent words were like a flash of lightning, cutting through the fog in Xinghan's heart.

An inexplicable complex emotion surged in Xinghan's heart. He was not sure whether this was just a continuation of the dream or another test given to him by reality.

He pinched his arm hard, and the pain was clearly felt, proving that he had indeed returned to reality.

He stood up carefully, trying not to make any noise so as not to disturb the two people in front of him.

As the distance shortened, he gradually saw the faces of the two people clearly——

They are none other than Onmyoji's powerful shikigami, Indra and Ashura.

Their presence made the background of this battle even more confusing, and also made Xinghan realize that he might be caught up in a storm far beyond his imagination.

"Indra? Asura?..." Xinghan called in a low voice, with a hint of tentativeness and uncertainty in his voice.

Upon hearing this, the two turned around at the same time, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, and then they regained their composure.

"Xinghan?" Emperor Shitian frowned slightly, as if he was surprised by Xinghan's appearance. "Why are you here? And how did you know our identities?"

When Emperor Shitian frowned slightly and showed surprise at Xinghan's appearance, Xinghan's heart could not help but ripple. He stared at this noble and mysterious Onmyoji Shikigami, with a hint of confusion and doubt in his eyes.

I muttered to myself:

"Why did Lord Indra recognize me? I have never met him, let alone had any interaction with him. What is going on?"

Xinghan tried hard to recall his past experiences, attempting to piece together clues of his acquaintance with Emperor Shitian from the fragments of memory, but no matter how he searched, he found nothing.

This sudden realization made him feel both surprised and confused, as if he had inadvertently stepped into some unknown and complex vortex.

At the same time, he also realized that it was no accident that he was here and noticed by Emperor Shi Tian. Perhaps, all this was related to the upstream power in his body, the power that awakened at the critical moment and helped him turn the tide of the battle.

Thinking of this, Xinghan couldn't help but develop a deeper curiosity and desire to explore his own identity and abilities.

Xinghan slowly looked around, and the scene before him shocked him. The battlefield that was originally filled with smoke had quietly changed, and was replaced by the illusion that Emperor Shitian had carefully constructed in the game - the Feast of Kings.

The magnificent palace, the glittering decorations, and the delicacies that seemed to exist only in legends made him feel as if he was in another world.

At this moment, Ashura looked Xinghan up and down, with a glimmer of praise in his eyes: "You are not bad, you can take a beating! Your recovery ability is unexpected. It seems that our previous worries were unnecessary."

Xinghan took a deep breath and briefly recounted his experience from coma to waking up, while expressing his doubts and confusion about the search for Hei Qingming. He noticed that as he spoke, the expressions of Emperor Shitian and Asura gradually became solemn.

"I see..." Emperor Shitian pondered for a moment and said slowly, "The Black Seimei you mentioned is indeed one of our targets on this trip, but not the only one. The intelligence we have obtained shows that he possesses some power that can change the world, and our mission is to find him and stop his plan."

“But…” Ashura took over the conversation, his tone revealing a bit of helplessness, “Now it seems that we may have found the wrong person. And you, Xinghan, your appearance may be the arrangement of fate. You have the power to reverse the situation, and perhaps you can help us prevent the impending disaster.”

When Xinghan heard this, he felt an unprecedented sense of mission in his heart.

He nodded firmly, his eyes gleaming with determination:

"I am willing to help you. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will move forward courageously."

As Asura and Indra left, the illusion in front of Xinghan disappeared like a bubble, and he was thrown back into the mysterious valley full of unknowns and dangers. The air around him seemed to freeze, and an ominous atmosphere quietly filled the air. Although the enemy was no longer in sight, the ferocious green creature's attack came again like a tide, without any pause.

Unexpectedly, the green leaves seemed to be awakened by an indescribable vitality. They frantically surged and intertwined in the air, as if weaving a web of death. These leaves gathered at an astonishing speed, gradually taking shape, and transformed into huge and ferocious beasts. They roared, bared their teeth and claws, and rushed towards Xinghan with an attitude of destroying everything.

In the eyes of the giant beast, a dark green light flickered like a will-o'-the-wisp. The light seemed to contain a magical power that could see through people's hearts, trying to penetrate Xinghan's soul and inspire the fear deep in his heart. However, Xinghan was not frightened by this terrifying scene. He stretched out his body, as agile as a cheetah, and jumped and shuttled between the giant beasts. Every turn and every leap was full of strength and determination.

The weapon in his hand turned into silver lightning, accurately striking at the giant beasts that were trying to devour him. But there were too many giant beasts, and their attacks were like a tide, making Xinghan feel unprecedented pressure. He had to concentrate and use all his skills and strength to fight these seemingly invincible enemies to the death.

In this chaotic and dangerous battlefield, every breath Xinghan takes is accompanied by tension and danger.

"I can't stop," Xinghan muttered to himself, "In order to survive and to prove my worth, I must keep moving forward." This belief was like an invisible force, supporting his exhausted body and allowing him to maintain his indomitable will when facing endless behemoths and crises.

He felt his heartbeat resonating with the earth, and every beat seemed to speak of the tenacity and perseverance of life.

Although his body was exhausted to the extreme, Xinghan's will became stronger.

Soon, the protective cover shattered.

Xinghan concentrated his mind and gathered his energy again, and a new protective shield was formed as he moved.

"The stars resonate, using their force to counter attack!"

Xinghan roared in his heart, and his star protection shield underwent a drastic change at this moment.

The originally soft light suddenly became dazzling, and complex star patterns appeared on the surface of the protective shield.

It seems as if the power of the entire universe is concentrated here.

When those sharp attacks hit the star shield again, the destructive power they contained was not directly resisted.

Instead, it is cleverly guided and transformed, and bounced back with a stronger posture through the recoil effect of the star protection shield.

For a moment, the entire space was filled with various colors of light and the interweaving of stars, as if a spectacular cosmic storm was taking place.

Xinghan took this opportunity to break through the protective shield and shuttled through the waves like a dragon.
