A thick beam of energy spurted out along with Tamamo Mae's roar, engulfing "Modo" and the portal behind him.
The violent explosion triggered a shock wave, which spread outward with Mordu as the center. The already unstable portal was the first to be destroyed. Mordu, who was at the center of the storm, almost took the entire attack.
After unleashing her ultimate move, Tamamo Mae's body swayed a bit. She quickly shrunk into a miniature form, staggered to Lu Xiao's side, jumped onto his shoulders and huddled up.
In order to support Tamamo-mae's venting, Yongzhen almost drained all his spiritual power and was temporarily unable to provide help to Tamamo-mae.
Lu Xiao's body can generate unlimited magic power on its own, and by staying by Tamamo Mae's side, he can absorb a little of the spilled energy and speed up the recovery of his own spiritual power.
Gently touching the soft fur in front of Tamamo, Lu Xiao turned his gaze to the center of the explosion.
This pure energy cannon released the 400-year spiritual power Tamamo-mae had accumulated through frugality all at once. If it weren't for the strong multiple defensive barriers surrounding the shrine, this special plane would have collapsed long ago.
Even so, a huge pothole appeared in the shrine square centered on Modu, which made Ashiya Mifune and others feel cold in their vests.
Tamamo Mae made it clear just now that this attack was originally prepared for the Onmyoji Association, but some unexpected circumstances made her change her mind temporarily.
...Fortunately, she changed her mind, otherwise with the current strength of the association, even if it is not completely wiped out, it will suffer heavy losses.
"Uh~Master Yongzhen."
The corner of Ashiya Mifune's mouth twitched, and he said to Nagama righteously: "Since Tamamo-mae has chosen to follow you, I hope you two can restrain her in the future and prevent Tamamo-mae from doing evil to the world again."
Yongzhen secretly laughed in his heart. The old man was obviously very scared and couldn't wait to get rid of this hot potato, but on the surface he pretended to be righteous.
'Is this sanctimonious?'
For the Onmyoji Association, it is no longer important how Tamamo Mae escaped from the trap, but what is important is how Tamamo Mae will retaliate against them after escaping from the prison.
Ashiya Mifune does not have the confidence to take Tamamo-mae's revenge. The best way is to dump Tamamo-mae to someone who has the ability to restrict her. Nagazhen and Lu Xiao are the best options in front of her.
Although I'm a bit dissatisfied with Ashiya Mifune's face-saving approach, as long as the result is good, at least Nagama can openly declare that Tamamo Mae is his shikigami.
This was Lu Xiao's intention. He had no intention of hiding Tamamae in the first place. The Onmyoji Association didn't have the ability to control her anyway.
After being hit by Tamamo Mae's ultimate attack, Mephisto, who possessed Mordo, was seriously injured.
When Lu Xiao used his dragon-born talent to call for strong winds to blow away the smoke and dust from the scene, Modu's lower body had disappeared, and the wound disconnected from his waist was forced to stop bleeding under the high temperature.
Mephisto's ghost struggled to break free from Mordo's body and return to his true form in Hell, but the weakness after injury made him unable to do so.
Lu Xiao walked to Modu holding the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand. The left half of his body had returned to black skin color, and his cheeks on both sides had different expressions.
Modu on the left smiled with relief: "Winning king or losing bandit, I have nothing to say, just do it."
"No!"
Mephisto on the right is beating and scolding with a ferocious expression: "Despicable human being! Part of my soul is still in your body, I won't allow it..."
"Crack!"
Lu Xiao ignored Mephisto's nonsense, raised his sword and chopped off Modu's head.
"Ahhh!"
Mephisto's soul struggled to break away from his dead body, and wanted to continue to escape Lu Xiao's pursuit.
"Gather!"
The evil-destroying evil-revealing spell on the ground quickly shrank, wrapping Mephisto's soul layer by layer under Lu Xiao's control.
"I'll cut off your arm first, Mephisto. I hope you can remember this lesson so that it won't be so easy for me to meet you next time."
"Crack!"
Crushing Mephisto's howling soul in pain, Lu Xiao sneered: "I will chase you to hell and kill your body directly."
…
Ashiya Mifune originally thought that the Onmyoji Conference with the participation of the Supreme Master would enhance his prestige and give him a lot of spare power to subdue other factions.
The ups and downs of the situation gave him mixed feelings.
Fortunately, the Abe family suffered a big loss this time.
Although Abe Shunkichi did not die, during the purification process, all the demonic circuits in his body were disabled, and he became demented after waking up.
Shunyi is the next generation heir to the head of the Abe family. As the saying goes, it is the fault of a son not to teach his father.
After Lu Xiao and Nagazhen exposed what he had done, the reputation of the Abe family will inevitably take a big hit, and they will not be able to continue to compete with the Kamo and Ashiya families for the leadership of the association for at least several decades.
The worry is because of Tamamo Mae who escaped from trouble.
The white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox is a great demon in myths and legends, and can be said to be a household name in Japan.
It can be seen from the previous warning that Tamamo Mae has always had a grudge against the Onmyoji Association, and God knows when he will suddenly rise up and come back for revenge.
After many visits and Lu Xiao's promise, Ashiya Mifune reluctantly suppressed his uneasiness and began to rectify the problems within the association.
Lu Xiao has no interest in continuing to care about the Onmyoji Association. After Modu's death, the group of mystics who followed him in rebellion are still waiting to be dealt with.
A small number of fanatic believers followed Modu to death on the spot, while others fell into deep contemplation in a state of confinement. They began to reflect on whether the paranoid ideas passed down from Modu were really correct.
Lu Xiao called Strange and Wanda from Kama Taj, and they escorted these traitors back to Kama Taj and were temporarily detained in a solitary room in the back mountain until they could be punished later.
When the turmoil caused by Mordo and Mephisto ended, Lu Xiao happened to receive a contact from Thor.
The Guardians of the Galaxy...or Gamora accepted Asgard's commission, and she agreed to risk returning to Temple 2 to find a way to steal Thanos' weapons from inside.
Gamora's condition is also very simple. She hopes to witness the death of Thanos with her own eyes and be a witness to the countless Zehuberi people who died at his hands.
Thanos has been separated for some time, and Gamora will definitely arouse suspicion if he returns to Temple 2 in a arrogant manner.
Loki has worked with Thanos before and has some understanding of the interpersonal relationships around him.
When Lu Xiao obtained enough information from the super star's mind, Loki compared the information he knew with Lu Xiao's information and basically confirmed the identity of the ugly ghost who had contacted him at the beginning - Ebony Maw.
After some discussion with Gamora, Loki finally came to a conclusion.
Compared with other Obsidian warriors, Ebony Maw is not completely loyal to Thanos. He is always thinking about how to overthrow Thanos and replace him.
Not long ago, Gamora's sister and Thanos' other adopted daughter Nebula also betrayed her adoptive father.
Unfortunately, she failed in her assassination attempt on Thanos and was imprisoned by Thanos in Temple II to undergo torture and interrogation.
After some discussion, Loki and Gamora decided to perform a show in front of Thanos, a big show that required the cooperation of Ebony Maw.
If Gamora can successfully return to Temple Two without arousing too much vigilance from Thanos, she may be able to rescue Nebula who is imprisoned by Thanos and steal the Power Stone and his weapons while Thanos is out.
Lu Xiao pondered for a while after listening to Loki's plan: "There is nothing wrong with the general framework of your plan, but the chips you invested are not enough, so it may not arouse Thanos's interest."
"So be it."
Lu Xiao said to Loki on the other side of the screen: "Tell me Gamora's contact channel, and I will discuss with her how to continue to improve the plan."
