"Tsubaki, we'll talk about the sparring later."
Mizoujin said to Tsubaki seriously.
"Who is this?"
Priest Chigusa looked at Yuzenjin, who was only the size of a palm.
"I am Fushimi Inari, a shrine maiden from the Inari Shrine."
Yu Zhuanjin stood on Yunhe's shoulder.
"Fushimi Inari? I see."
As the elder of Hikawa Shrine, Priest Chigusa and the shrine maiden Kikuri know a secret: the shrine maiden Fushimi Inari is the one who bears the divine name "Onozu".
When facing the Yin Jiao Zhu Jiuyin, it was Yu Zhuanjin who used his own ability to complete the divine descent and killed the Yin Jiao. Finally, he released the Breath of Zhulong, making it easier for the strongest people from various shrines to seal it.
This is the "truth" known only to a small number of Yamabushi sorcerers with special status.
This was stated by Yunhe himself afterwards.
Yuzhong Jin did summon a "god". Although it was a monster that claimed to be a god, its identity was acknowledged by Yuzhong Jin himself in the end, so its unreal nature became real.
Knowing this "truth", Priest Qiangusa did not have too many doubts about Yunhe's words about being blessed by God.
"I do not want!"
Tsubaki pursed her lips and refused Yuzhongjin.
He is only seven years old, why is he rebelling?
Yuzhongjin couldn't do anything about it.
"Tsubaki wants to spar with me? I want it!"
Kikyo said with great anticipation.
She saw this as a step towards furthering their relationship.
"no!"
As expected, Yuzhuanjin still couldn't allow it.
"Lord Inari, since Tsubaki and Kikyo both want to spar, let them come. If you just stop them, it will only cause a worse effect. They both have this intention. Even if you stop them today, they will sneak in later. You and I both know that."
Yunhe whispered to Yuzhuanjin who was on his shoulder.
"……Um."
Looking at the way Chun and Kikyo looked at each other, there seemed to be a flash of white lightning in their eyes. Yu Zhongjin was silent for a long time. Finally, after Yunhe's consolation, he nodded.
……
Under the gaze of everyone, Kikyo stood in the middle of the field with the holly wand in her hand, ready to go.
Chun felt that the walnut wand in her hand was a little hot at this moment. This was the first duel between the wand holder and another wand holder, and both sides were eager to try.
However, Yu Zhuanjin outside the field lowered his head deeply and didn't want to look up to watch the battle at all.
"Three feet of ice!", "Burning flames!".
Almost at the same moment, Tsubaki and Kikyo attacked each other.
A bone-chilling cone of ice shot out from Tsubaki's wand.
Kikyo summoned endless flames that spread forward.
The battle is about to break out.
The two spiritual powers are like water and fire.
The power of deep purple and azure blue intertwined.
Tsubaki and Kikyo kept their distance from each other, as neither of them was good at close combat.
"Flying sand and flying rocks!"
The spiritual power shot out from Chun's magic wand like a cannonball, and it was accompanied by a shrill sound as it cut through the sky, and immediately splashed up a cloud of dust after landing.
"Armor protection!"
Seeing this, Kikyo hastily cast a defensive spell on herself.
The azure spiritual energy immediately permeated throughout the body.
boom!
The dark purple spiritual energy bullet hit Kikyo's shoulder, but did not break her defense.
"Collapse!"
Kikyo counterattacked Tsubaki with her backhand.
Boom!
The azure spiritual energy bullet was equally powerful, but its landing point was not precise, so Chun dodged it by turning sideways.
"Oops! I missed the target..."
Seeing this, Kikyo couldn't help but shout.
"A salvo of ten thousand bullets!"
As the spell was cast, countless flying birds immediately appeared beside Tsubaki, circled above her head for a few seconds, and then dived towards Kikyo.
"There are many obstacles!"
Kikyo immediately set up a defense to intercept.
The swooping bird hit the barrier, and the barrier and the bird turned back into spiritual power and dissipated in the field.
"Hurricane Calling!"
Kikyo raised the holly wand in her hand and released a roaring gust of wind.
The strong wind caused the Yamabushi sorcerers who were watching nearby to squint their eyes.
"Separate left and right!"
Chun split its wind force into two.
The battle became more and more intense, with both sides fighting back and forth.
They fought back and forth move after move.
Suppressed cold sweat appeared on Tsubaki's forehead, and she had to use all her strength to resist Kikyo's heavy attack.
On the other hand, Platycodon still seemed to be at ease. Although it seemed to be very enjoyable, it was a feeling of joy.
Kikyo believes that the reason why Tsubaki wants to spar with her is because as a shrine maiden of Inari Shrine, she cannot participate in the Hikawa Shrine Competition, so she wants to use this as an opportunity to take her along.
Naturally, she had to give it her all and not let other participants underestimate Chun's determination.
"Flying sand and flying rocks!"
Kikyo launched another attack on Tsubaki, but the effect was comparable to that of a master of outlining, and it was almost impossible to hit her.
"Collapse!"
In order to learn the magic-breaking arrows from the witch sister, Chun practiced archery countless times, but unfortunately, his spiritual power was not suitable for the bow and arrow, so he could never integrate into it.
She was unable to cultivate the magic-destroying arrow, but such long-term practice had allowed her techniques to be precisely guided in this area.
"Armor protection!"
Kikyo repeatedly cast defensive spells.
Since the accuracy is not good, then use the spell of automatic aiming. Kikyo raised the magic wand: "Ten thousand bullets fired!"
Countless birds were circling above his head.
Asuka swooped down towards Tsubaki's location.
"There are many obstacles!"
Tsubaki tried to block it, but the swooping birds broke through her barrier one after another.
Same attack and same defense.
But the results are different.
This is enough to show the gap between the two sides.
"Armor protection!"
As a last resort, Tsubaki cast a defensive spell.
Fei Niao hit her shoulder with all his strength, and the "armor" on her body was immediately shattered.
…It hurts!
Tsubaki immediately clenched his teeth.
Yuzhongjin didn't want to or didn't dare to watch this battle, because she knew very well that Chun had no chance of winning.
It was precisely because she knew this that she had always forbidden Tsubaki and Kikyo from sparring.
This result is extremely cruel.
Not to mention that Chun has only been practicing for less than a year. Even if she had practiced for three years, she would still be defeated if she faced Kikyo, who had just awakened her spiritual power and could only use it to burst out.
"A salvo of ten thousand bullets!"
Kikyo launched an offensive once again.
I absolutely don’t agree!
After defending, Chun fought back vigorously, and the cursed spiritual power gradually spread out of the body and finally shot out from the tip of the magic wand.
“…Thunder explosion!”
This is Tsubaki's strongest attack.
"Protect them all!"
Kikyo also immediately took the best countermeasures.
Boom!
A series of flashes covered the entire venue.
But when the dust was blown away by the strong wind, Kikyo's defensive barrier still stood in front.
Even the defense was not broken...
Just as Tsubaki was stunned by this, Kikyo raised her wand and chanted a spell: "Expelliarmus!"
Azure spiritual energy rushed straight towards him.
Chun immediately fought back, but was still a step too late.
The twisted wand flew into the air.
She looked at the wand that fell to the ground with a confused and complicated look in her eyes. She was silent for a long time, and finally whispered, "I lost."
“Aaaaaaaah!!!”
Su Yue and Xi Zhao, who were watching the game from the sidelines, immediately exclaimed.
"So impressive! Junior Sister Tsubaki, Junior Sister Kikyo."
Xi Zhao couldn't see much, but she felt that the battle between Chun and Kikyo was particularly fierce.
Although Kikyo won in the end, Tsubaki was still on par with her.
At least that's how they see it.
"Is this your child, Qingyun?"
Priest Chigusa narrowed his eyes and stared at Kikyo, as if he saw the priestess Qingyun from that year.
The same talent...
The clergy around him also remained silent.
"…It still doesn't work."
Yu Zhuanjin no longer dared to look up.
