Chapter 31: Want to leave? Can you really leave?

  Stay behind? How is that possible! If I stay behind, who knows what kind of side-effect-filled weird medicine I'll have to face every day?

  Ignoring the words behind him, Chen Yi continued to run forward, even if there was a maze array in the maze bamboo forest, it didn't matter. In the case of fluctuating perception, Chen Yi simply didn't need to use his eyes to see the road, just follow the route 'known' in his mind and move forward.

  "Come on, you'll be sent out after a while anyway, so just stay now!"

  Wow!

  Chen Yi dodged sideways, and an arrow flew past his cheek, taking a few strands of his hair with it.

  Tatara stopped in his tracks. Since Yuyuko Saigyouji, one of the "Three Fairies" of Gensokyo, had taken action, it was a problem for Tatara to leave now.

  Chen Yi, who had been suffocated in the pit for 800 years, couldn't bear it anymore. He was extremely eager to see the colorful world outside, and he would love to visit China. According to his calculation of time, China was still in the Qing dynasty now, and in a few decades, it would be the Opium War. By then, he might follow Lin Zexu's example?

  Got off track...

  Remove the fluctuating perception, Chen Yi opened his eyes and looked at Hachiya Eirin, who had already put the arrow on the bow again.

  "Not considering wearing it underneath?" La Gong only thought of his vest.

  "Of course not! I'm actually quite yearning for the outside world now."

  Block!!

  Ding! The weapon knocked away the incoming arrow, and then Chen Yi added a few more slashes to the rebounding arrow. After all, Hachiyoshi Eirin was capable of using arrows to open up a boundary, so he had to be on guard.

  "Sigh... No choice, rarely thought of using a peaceful method, but now it seems like there's no other way..."

  Yi Yonglin looked at Chen Yi's eyes with a hint of coldness.

  Chen Yi didn't hold back, directly undergoing a demonic transformation. Although his power had merged at a greatly reduced speed due to the 800 years of dormancy, the accumulation over such a long period still allowed Chen Yi's strength to increase by another level, and some of the skills in his mind were once again unsealed.

  In a state of demonization, the amplification of demonic powers is maximized, followed by blood and gas systems. The amplification of wave and sword techniques can be ignored, as for spiritual energy, that's not amplification, that's seeking death...

  Kage no Kaja! Onryo no Ayumi!

  In the state of Ghost Shadow, Chen Yi's speed increased dramatically, and he appeared directly beside Yae Sakura. The originally fiery Flowing Star Sword was affected by the power of the ghost god, turning pitch black. The power of the ghost god dragged a long tail along the blade as it slashed towards Yae Sakura.

  "Wow, what a dark power, all generated from the negative emotions of living beings."

  Yi Yonglin's bow easily deflected Chen Yi's slash and separated him.

  "What the... Is this a wooden bow? Looking at the undamaged bow in Yuelin's hand, Chenyi was shocked. But thinking about it, would Yuelin's weapon be made of simple wood?"

  Watching Chen Yi retreat, Bayi Yonglin once again drew the bow and arrow full, and the arrow shot towards the shirt with a sharp sound.

  For the arrows that came again, Chen Yi directly bounced off the arrow, and the ghostly power on the weapon made the bounced arrow immediately erode into powder. The next incoming arrow also suffered the same fate.

  "It also comes with a strong erosive power, what a troublesome ability." The bow and arrow were ineffective, so Yaiba Eirin simply put them away.

  Whoa! Bayi Yonglin appeared in front of Chen Yi, throwing a punch at his face.

  So fast! Watching the approaching fist, Chen Yi's surprise turned into a light smile. It was just a physical attack, unfortunately I'm immune to that...

  Full Moon Slash!

  In Chen Yi's fearless and unwavering demeanor, Hachijou Eterna sensed something was off. Having taken precautions early on, she discovered that striking Chen Yi felt like hitting smoke when she immediately retreated after landing a hit.

  Just as Hachiyō Eirin withdrew her fist and took a step back, a wheel of crimson full moon appeared, taking away several strands of Hachiyō Eirin's hair.

  "Huh?" Inaba Emperor, who was sitting in front of the Eternal Pavilion gate, suddenly called out, "The master seemed to have seen the moon just now, but it's clearly daytime."

  "Dummy, that's just an attacking move."

  "Immune to physical attacks?" Looking at the few strands of hair floating on the ground, Hachijou Eterna said, "If you're immune to physical attacks, then will you fully withstand energy-based attacks as well?"

  Yi Yonglin punched Chen Yi's face again, this time with a layer of grayish energy on his fist.

  Chen Yi didn't dare to resist this time, dodging the attack with a sideways face, and swinging his sword at Yae Sakura's waist, only to have it caught by an energy-covered hand.

  "When attacking, you can't avoid physical attacks, and your body will change from virtual to real. At the same time, if you are caught with anything related to your body, you won't be able to enter a virtual state again, right?"

  Yi Yonglin's fist sent Chen Yi flying, "So the black aura on your body is to reduce damage, you're really resilient, taking my hit without breaking. I'm getting more and more curious about you, what other strange moves do you have, hurry up and use them."

  Wipe away the bloodstains on his mouth, and several small ghostly illusions appeared on Chen Yi's body. Red, dark green, icy blue, and purple halos emerged one after another under Chen Yi's feet.

  Yi Yonglin, who was shrouded in a halo, suddenly found that his physical quality had dropped by several levels, and his speed was also restricted. The surrounding bamboo shoots dissipated rapidly like dust in the wind.

  "The power of eternity has actually been broken......" Hōrai-san Kaguya looked very shocked.

  "What? Master, you're saying the eternal power of the blessing in the bamboo forest has been broken? Waa... Then my bamboo forest won't be able to return to its original state soon?" Inaba no ō suddenly teared up.

  "It's not that serious, it's just within the range of that halo." Hui Ye comforted.

  Dark Moon Descends!!

  Hachiyo Yotsugi, who was already shocked by her own declining physical condition, discovered that her body's state had declined once more after a black moon appeared above Tenzou's head.

  "That's interesting, but even so, you still can't beat me..."

  Ghost Shadow Whip!

  A whip formed from the power of oni and gods, its black lash almost becoming a thin line as it whipped towards Yaichi Eirin at incredible speed.

  So fast! As the dark whip rushed towards her, Hachiya Eirin was about to dodge to one side when she found that a thick layer of ice had formed under her feet. Several shadowy figures like mummies grasped tightly at her legs, restricting her speed while continuously transmitting erosive power into her body, affecting her vision.

  Yi Lin was immediately pulled away by Chen Yi's ghostly whip.

  Ghost Shadow Triple Slash Sword!

  Chen Yi's weapon almost simultaneously stabbed out three swords, and the three black sword marks pierced towards Hachiyoshi Eirin, who was pulled in front of Chen Yi.

  Looking at the three sword wounds aimed at herself, Hachijou Eterna also knew that being hit would absolutely not feel good, especially when her physical condition had dropped several levels.

  He drew out the wooden bow again, standing it upright in front of him to block the three sword marks. The enormous force also knocked Hachirin back several steps, and his arm holding the bow trembled as well.

  His physical condition has weakened to this extent? No, it should be said that his strength has increased, and he jumped back again, dodging the ice blocks and mummy illusions that suddenly appeared on the ground.

  And the field of vision also became somewhat dark, and there was a kind of toxic energy inside that kept destroying the body's interior. What a powerful halo ability! While constantly weakening the opponent, it also strengthened itself. Hachiryokken praised the effect brought by the oni god summoned by Tatsuki.

  "Your halo is only effective for those who are in contact with the ground, right?" Hachiyori Eterna said as her body slowly left the ground and flew up.

  Ugh!! So I said I hate flying the most! Chen Yi looked at Fei who was flying in the sky and immediately became depressed. Now he couldn't make the halo's attack effect work on her up there.

  Alas? Did I think wrong? The Eight-Tailed Ryūjin who flew up to the sky discovered that although those nauseating illusions and ice blocks wouldn't appear, his physical condition still hadn't recovered. It seems that even in the sky, he couldn't completely avoid these negative effects.

  "You can't fly? Haha! Then I won't hold back!" With a wicked grin, Yaiba Eirin took out her bow and arrow once again...

  I won't fly, what's it to you? Want to fly a kite? You also have a chance, okay? Chen Yi's ghostly hand is raised high, as if summoning something.

  Tombstone of Death!!

  !! Countless tombstones with a cursed aura suddenly appeared, falling down like raindrops. In the air, Hachiyō Ryūrin was also caught off guard by the sudden attack.

  The ground was soon filled with tombstones full of despair, setting off the surrounding environment in a gloomy tone.

  Chen Yi let out a breath and released the Death Tombstone, the consumption was not small.

  "Oh no! That was a powerful attack, and it actually injured me!" Hachiyori Hikari pointed at her wounded arm, where her clothes were damaged in several places. "Next time, I won't go easy on you!"

  Yi Yonglin took out her bow and arrow, pointing it at Chen Yi. The arrow that was originally not a threat to Chen Yi now made him feel strongly threatened. If he didn't do something about it, the arrow would shoot him right through!

  Remove all other halos and leave only the knife soul Kazan's enhanced power. Chen Yi gathered the remaining ghostly powers.

  Ghostly shadow flashes!

  At the moment when Hachiyoshi Yorin shot out an arrow, Tatsuyu's figure suddenly disappeared without warning and reappeared behind Hachiyoshi Yorin. An extremely long 'X' sword mark flashed momentarily as Tatsuyu's figure reappeared.

  The arrow shot out as if time had stopped, and with a "click", the arrow that was supposed to fly swiftly forward broke into two pieces along with the bow in Yorihime's hand, falling to the ground.

  "It's really a terrible attack." Rubbing the healing wound on her face, Yui looked at Chenyi who was lying on the ground, "In the end, it still had to be solved with medicine."

  Pull out the needle stuck in Chen Yi's neck, looking at Chen Yi who was knocked unconscious, "If it weren't for that old monster, I'd really like to dissect you..."

  Yasumi Eirin recalled what Yakumo Yukari said when she first came here: If something unexpected were to happen to me, I think this bamboo forest would lose its reason for existence...
