Then, the thing that had appeared behind Yukino suddenly materialized there. This terrified Haruno and the other woman's mother.
Unlike Yukino, who had seen this before, neither of them was seeing it for the first time. Even though Yukino had seen it once before, she was still quite unsettled. After all, any normal girl would be afraid of such a thing.
So she subconsciously moved closer to Zhao Fei, seeking a sense of reassurance.
Seeing Xiaoping's flustered state, Zhao Fei actually wanted to take out his phone and snap a picture of the scene.
Chapter 46 Have I run into a mini-boss?
Lin Qi thought for a moment and then took out his phone to take a picture of the other person's expression. Yang Nai, who was still concerned about her younger sister even in this situation, couldn't help but twitch her lips a few times when she saw this scene.
At the same time, Lin Qi's actions reassured her considerably. After all, seeing his nonchalant attitude, even his playful demeanor, she knew he didn't take this thing seriously at all. So what did she have to worry about?
Immediately afterwards, Lin Qi saw that the two Onmyoji looked rather unwell after seeing this thing, but they still manipulated their paper figures and started fighting with it.
As time went on, fewer and fewer people pointed to the puppet, and it began to look more and more surreal.
In the end, all the paper figures were gone, and the vengeful spirits of the wooden puppets also disappeared.
Then, the two Onmyoji didn't forget to destroy it. Their actions at that moment were incredibly smooth and professional.
This was completely different from how they manipulated the little paper figures before. Lin Qi even suspected that these guys were part of the logistics team who were out making extra money.
Otherwise, how did they achieve such a huge difference in proficiency?
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, including the two Onmyoji, they resumed their aloof demeanor, as if their previous hardship had never existed.
Lady Yukinoshita, being a shrewd person, knew very well that some things absolutely could not be mentioned. Just as she smiled and was about to go over to express her gratitude for the past two years, suddenly an even stronger resentment appeared!
At that moment, a figure dressed in black robes appeared. He held a cane in his hand, and anyone with a bit of knowledge could tell that the cane was also a magical artifact.
The two Onmyoji immediately looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy upon seeing each other.
After all, the aura emanating from the other party was worlds apart from theirs. So their subconscious warned them that this was someone they couldn't possibly fight against.
The others were completely stunned by the sudden turn of events. They had thought the matter was over, but then this new person appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, the aura emanating from him made them feel breathless.
"Who...who are you?!"
One of the Onmyoji mustered up the courage to ask.
The person turned around, revealing their face beneath the black robe—an old, white-haired face.
It's just that for some reason, it gives off a very scary feeling, since the other person's face does look a bit terrifying.
The man spoke in a very old voice:
"My name is Black Soul!"
"Young people, did you destroy the little gadgets I made?"
As the other party spoke, his eyes were fixed on the two Onmyoji, and the aura emanating from him caused cold sweat to break out on their foreheads.
The two men were momentarily at a loss for words. Well, they felt that if they gave a bad answer, something bad would definitely happen.
But faced with that intensely intimidating gaze, the two still forced themselves to speak:
"Lord Black Soul, we are merely acting on someone's behalf."
"If you are angry about this matter, we are willing to apologize."
"As for this family's affairs, we will no longer concern ourselves with them and will leave immediately."
Upon hearing this, the Yukinoshita sisters and the still-attractive lady's expressions changed drastically. They never expected these two to be so shameless and so decisive in abandoning their employer.
"you..."
Just as Yukino was about to speak, the man slammed his cane heavily on the floor. He then looked at Yukino with a menacing gaze, and for a moment, Yukino didn't dare to speak at all, or rather, she swallowed back the words she wanted to say.
Yang Nai was also very anxious at this moment. She didn't expect her younger sister to be so foolish as to dare to speak up in this situation.
The two Onmyoji ignored the situation and kept their heads down.
Immediately afterwards, the person called Black Soul spoke in a voice that was impossible to decipher:
Are all kids these days so unruly?
Yukino listened to this voice, which sounded like a demon's chant. Her face turned deathly pale.
Black Soul said nothing more, looking at the two men and speaking:
"Since you destroyed my little toy, then you two should die too."
Upon hearing this, the two Onmyoji immediately raised their heads, their faces showing extreme terror. Just as they were about to say something, two spirits emerged from beside the black soul, instantly flashing past it. Then, everyone present saw blood gushing from the necks of the two Onmyoji.
Immediately afterward, the two opened their mouths, but before they could utter a word, they collapsed.
The sudden turn of events startled the three women present, causing them to scream. After all, the sudden death of a person, especially right in front of them, triggered their instincts, leading them to scream.
"quiet!"
The man seemed annoyed by the screams and immediately scolded the group.
The members of the Yukinoshita family immediately shut their mouths. Then, Kuro Soul turned his gaze to Lin Qi, noticing that since he arrived, Lin Qi had maintained a very calm expression, which piqued his curiosity.
"Little one, aren't you afraid of me?"
The moment the other party said this, everyone's attention turned to Lin Qi. However, everyone present realized that Lin Qi had been watching the show from beginning to end, without showing the slightest worry or fear on his face.
Lin Qi, who was enjoying the show, didn't expect the other party to steer the conversation towards him.
Lin Qi retorted, "Do you think I'm going to attack you just because you ask me something?" He didn't answer the question, ignoring the corpse on the ground and the oppressive aura emanating from the other person. Instead, he spoke with a tone of keen interest:
"Old man, let me ask you a question. Are you ranked among the top in this world?"
"Or if you think the world is too big, then let me put it another way: is your strength ranked among the top in this small country?"
"How does it compare to Gojo Gosho's pretentious act?"
Lin Qi's words immediately caused Xue Nai Lai and the others to shrink in surprise, because they felt that Lin Qi's words were full of provocation. Although he seemed to be asking about the other party's strength, his attitude gave people the feeling of provocation.
However, the one called Black Soul didn't get angry after hearing Lin Qi's words. Instead, he spoke with curiosity, which was the first time anyone had heard any change in his tone:
"Do you know Gojo Satoru?"
Lin Qi first nodded, then shook his head, and then spoke in a matter-of-fact tone:
"That guy is quite famous in your country, so it's hard not to know him, but he's not qualified to know me."
When Lin Qi said this, his tone was full of arrogance, which made Black Soul unable to tell whether the Spirit Rider was arrogant or really capable. However, at this moment, Lin Qi seemed to have run out of patience.
"You haven't answered my question yet, have you?"
Lin Qi said, "Now I'm asking you a question, so why are you rambling on about all that nonsense?"
The black soul did not make any rash moves, after all, these things were not exactly secrets.
"My strength is barely among the top in this country."
"But in this world, it's considered top-tier!"
"It doesn't reach the top level."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi raised an eyebrow. It seemed he had encountered a mini-boss!
It's a pity I didn't encounter the big boss. Thumbs down!
Chapter 47 Old man, are you playing bondage?
Although he's just a minor boss, I don't know why, but when he introduced himself, I felt that his tone was full of pride. What's going on?
Moreover, based on Ling Qi's understanding of what people usually do, he even thought this guy was the kind who brags and exaggerates his own strength.
In other words, this guy is considered second-rate in Linyi's eyes, though whether he's truly first-rate remains to be verified.
However, judging from the aura emanating from the other party, they were indeed worlds apart from those two weaklings.
While Lin Qi could stand there calmly, the others couldn't, because they never expected that simply dealing with something that was threatening their family would offend such a powerful figure!
Although they didn't know how much of what the other party said was true or false, it didn't stop the fact that the other party could instantly kill the troublesome Onmyoji and the aura they displayed was like an abyss in their eyes.
Looking at the three people present, Black Soul felt that their reactions were normal, but what was wrong with this young man? After hearing his self-introduction, his expression did not change at all, exactly the same as before, which surprised him.
Ignoring the three members of the Yukinoshita family, Kuroko turned his gaze to Lin Qi and spoke in a curious tone:
"Kid, I've already introduced myself, what about you?"
After hearing what the other person said, Lin Qi smiled and replied:
"I?"
"Can't you tell what I am?"
Black Soul's tone was full of doubt after hearing Lin Qi's words.
"Forgive my poor eyesight."
"I can't tell which family you're from, kid?"
"The Onmyoji Hall? Or the three major families of sorcery, or some other force!"
After hearing what the old man said, Lin Qi immediately gave him the middle finger and started cursing.
"Go to hell, are you blind?"
"Who the hell are you insulting by having a Chinese person join your trashy little island's faction?"
"If you don't want your eyes, you can donate them to someone in need!"
"The total number of houses on your tiny, crappy island isn't even enough for me to beat with one hand, and you're still trying to pin me on them? Go to hell."
Lin Qi suddenly burst into a tirade, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Black Soul, in particular, never expected that he would be so unethical as to insult his entire family when he was just trying to guess the strength of this country based on normal thinking.
You have to understand that he is, after all, a citizen of this country, yet the other party's tone was full of contempt for the country's extraordinary power!
This was something he simply couldn't tolerate!
"court death!"
After Black Soul said those two words in a furious tone, several black shadows immediately appeared around him. The black shadows flashed past Lin Qi and then there were two loud bangs!
Lin Qi, you're perfectly fine now, but instead of the two Yin-Yang Masters bleeding profusely, you're wearing a disdainful smile and speaking:
"Right here?"
Although Lin Qi only said two words, those two words, while not particularly offensive, were extremely insulting, especially in this situation.
