Chapter 91 The Curtain Falls
Recalling his conversation with the Onmyoji Abe Gen, the head of the Abe clan immediately ordered: "Quickly! Notify all media! Onmyoji Abe Gen has personally gone to the Imperial Palace to save the Imperial Family and protect the people, to confront an ancient tyrant! The shrine has manifested its power, calling upon the entire nation to immediately and sincerely pray to Abe Gen, to gather faith and lend him a helping hand!"
The news spread like wildfire.
On one side, rioters stormed the Imperial Palace, unleashing unparalleled terror. Modern weaponry proved ineffective, and apocalyptic panic spread.
On one side, the Onmyoji Abe no Gen was appointed to a critical mission and resolutely went into battle. The divine palace manifested its power, bringing hope and dawn.
The first act of the battle between good and evil has begun.
In the Japanese imperial palace, shrouded in despair, a figure dressed in magnificent hunting attire, with unparalleled beauty and an ethereal aura, suddenly appeared.
It was Su Fan, playing the Onmyoji Abe no Gen, who instantly appeared in the Japanese Imperial Palace through the material delivery of the gourd-shaped porcelain pillow.
"Great! We're saved! The Onmyoji, Lord Abe no Gen, has arrived!"
"They actually dared to storm the palace; now they'll pay the price!"
"This is someone who can even suppress gods—the Onmyoji of Takamagahara!"
The outcome of this performance had already been decided long ago.
In the battle between good and evil, the righteous Onmyoji Abe no Gen barely managed to suppress the evil tyrant with the help of the Three Sacred Treasures. However, most of the faith power within the Three Sacred Treasures was used up, so if you don't want the tyrant to make a comeback, then contribute your faith!
As for the evil tyrant, he naturally retreated from Honshu Island in a sorry state, and the righteous Onmyoji Abe no Gen was able to protect, so Kyushu Island was established, and there was a Xia Dynasty!
What a great script! This is how Japan should be divided!
Xia Jie's voice was full of provocation: "I thought you would only show yourself after watching these ants get crushed."
Su Fan, playing the Onmyoji Abe no Gen, spoke in a clear and resolute voice that echoed throughout the surrounding area: "This is not your Xia land, nor are the people here your slaves. Retreat, and you may still retain some dignity. If you persist in your obstinacy, do not blame me for—acting on behalf of Heaven!"
Su Fan portrays the Onmyoji Abe no Genji as a righteous and awe-inspiring figure, like a benevolent guardian deity protecting his people!
"Acting on behalf of Heaven?" Xia Jie seemed to have heard the greatest joke in the world. He threw his head back and let out a wild laugh, filled with boundless arrogance and violence. "I am Heaven! My will is Heaven's will! Today, I will show you what true divine might is!"
An unprecedented and terrifying explosion erupted in the center of the Imperial Palace! Lights collided and annihilated violently, and the resulting shockwave, like a giant, tangible ring, swept across all directions in an instant!
The surrounding buildings' glass was shattered into dust, and even the thick palace walls developed cracks!
As the saying goes, if you're going to act, you have to go all the way. Su Fan wasn't bothered by what happened in the Japanese royal palace.
The fight between Su Fan's Onmyoji Abe no Gen and the tyrant Xia Jie was obviously fake, relying on special effects to make it look real.
However, the destruction was real; using the three sacred artifacts obtained by deception from Japan, they consumed the power of faith to carry out the destruction.
The real attack never lands on the opponent, but rather on the field.
The battle between the two completely transcended the realm of ordinary comprehension. The roar of colliding energies, the dazzling light and shadow, and the invisible clash of spirits transformed the Neon Palace into a battlefield. The aftershocks of each collision sent shivers down the spines of those watching from afar.
This is a matter concerning the fate of Japan, and it also touches the nerves of the world!
The battle lasted for about fifteen minutes, with both sides seemingly evenly matched. However, Abe Gen's face grew paler and paler, his fan movements seemed to slow down slightly, and cracks appeared on the light screen more and more frequently.
In contrast, although Xia Jie lost more than half of his Yin soldiers, his aura remained as violent as ever, and his offensive became even more ferocious.
Finally, after a violent collision, the light barrier erected by Abe Gen let out a mournful cry of despair and shattered! He himself also groaned and drifted back more than ten meters, his aura visibly weakened.
"No! How could the Onmyoji be unable to defeat this villain!"
"Is the heavens determined to destroy Japan?"
Jie was about to press his advantage and deliver a fatal blow to the seemingly severely injured Onmyoji Abe no Gen!
"In my name, I invoke the divine artifact to suppress the evil spirits!" The resolute voice of Su Fan, the Onmyoji Abe no Gen, echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
hum!hum!hum!
Inside the Yin-Yang Divine Palace's main hall, the three Japanese national treasures—the Kusanagi Sword, the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Foot Mirror), and the Yata no Magatama (Eight-Foot Curved Jewel)—simultaneously emitted a dazzling light!
Suddenly appearing within the battlefield of the Japanese imperial palace, it exuded divine power.
Su Fan, playing the Onmyoji Abe no Gen, suddenly felt his aura surge, his pale face regained its rosy hue, and his body erupted with an aura many times stronger than before!
"May evil spirits be punished!"
Su Fan, playing the Onmyoji Abe no Gen, roared and swung his light blade, unleashing a massive light slash that seemed capable of splitting the heavens and the earth.
Wherever the light blade passed, the Yin soldiers crumbled upon contact, and even Xia Jie's dark red halberd was instantly severed in half!
Xia Jie's expression changed drastically, seemingly not expecting his opponent to have such a trump card. He roared and desperately used his remaining strength to resist.
An explosion more violent than any before occurred! The blinding light caused all the surveillance screens to instantly overexpose and go blank! The terrifying shockwave leveled everything in the center of the square!
As the light faded, the dust settled.
Xia Jie's ancient robes were torn in many places, and his breathing was disordered, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious "injury." The Yin soldiers behind him were almost entirely gone, with only a tenth remaining, and the remnants were dim and listless.
In contrast, Abe no Gen, though also panting and his divine light dimmed considerably, remained standing, his jade fan firmly in his hand. More importantly, he had successfully forced his opponent back and "severely injured" him!
The distinction between superior and inferior seems to have been made?
Inside and outside the Imperial Palace, there was a deathly silence, which was then broken into a deafening cheer! The Japanese high-ranking officials were so excited that they had tears in their eyes!
Xia Jie stared at Abe no Genji with a sinister gaze for a long time, then suddenly let out a low, resentful laugh: "Fine—very good! I'll remember you! Today's humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!"
He then suddenly waved his hand, and the remaining ghostly soldiers turned into black smoke and disappeared into his sleeve. "Let's go!"
After saying that, Tokugawa Koji and Xia Jie disappeared together!
The crisis seems to have temporarily subsided?
Su Fan, playing the Onmyoji Abe no Gen, stood in place, gazing in the direction where Xia Jie had disappeared. His brows were furrowed, and his face showed little joy, but rather deep worry.
Addressing the arriving members of the royal family and high-ranking officials, his voice was weary and heavy: "Although this fiend has retreated, its ferocity remains undiminished, and its foundations still exist. Even with the power of the Three Sacred Treasures, I could only force it back and injure it, but I could not eradicate it. It will surely return—everyone, prepare yourselves."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the nascent celebration. Joy was instantly replaced by a deeper sense of unease and urgency.
Even with all his might, including the power of a divine artifact, could the Onmyoji only achieve this much? Was that person truly so terrifying?
The Onmyoji Abe no longer spoke, gave a few instructions on how to clean up the mess and strengthen the gathering of faith, and then transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the Onmyo Shrine, seemingly in urgent need of returning to heal his wounds.
It left behind Japanese high-ranking officials who were still in shock and had survived the ordeal, as well as a country whose understanding had been completely overturned and which was filled with fear for the future.
Meanwhile, around the world, analysts piecing together the general events from satellite and drone footage and intelligence reports are frantically writing reports: "The supernatural crisis in Japan has been temporarily averted. Onmyoji Abe no Gen, relying on the power of his divine artifact, repelled the enemy, but he himself appears to have suffered considerable injuries —"
"Jie's displayed abilities, such as brutality, exorcism, and near-physical immunity, pose an extremely high threat level, necessitating a reassessment of the possibility of superhuman resurgence and corresponding countermeasures."
That night, even the snow-covered capital of Japan remained sleepless. This battle had captured the world's attention.
