As the little girl drew closer, the attention of the eight-foot tall figure was completely focused on her.
She didn’t notice Lin Ze sneaking behind her.
Sizzle, sizzle… a sound of sizzling meat came from the direction of the eight-foot figure. Lin Ze threw a handful of salt onto her back. The salt landed and caused white smoke to rise, followed by a series of pops and explosions.
The intense pain caused the eight-foot figure to release her control over the little girl. Then, she turned around to see what was happening, her face contorted in rage.
Lin Ze yelled at the little girl, who had regained her freedom, to run. But, the little girl, seeing the eight-foot figure with its ferocious face and sizzling flesh, was too scared and collapsed onto the ground.
The eight-foot figure appeared! The children cried out in terror. Nearby, young mothers who were chatting heard the commotion and rushed over. Seeing the legendary eight-foot figure, they were stunned. However, the children’s cries brought them back to their senses, and they ran into the park to protect their children.
Damn it! More people! I have to get them to escape!
“Take the children and leave!” Lin Ze roared at the young mothers. “Leave?” The salt on the eight-foot figure turned black and fell off. The wounds on her body healed quickly, visible to the naked eye. She let out a sinister laugh. “No one is leaving!”
The eight-foot figure rushed towards the crowd at a speed that was barely perceptible. This guy was trying to protect them? Then she would tear them all apart in front of him!
At the critical moment, a handful of salt was thrown towards her, making her stop and quickly retreat.
Tsukino came! He was carrying a large bag of salt and quickly sprinkled a circle around them. This was what the information given by Shang Fang mentioned earlier, a way to temporarily prevent her from getting closer.
Seeing that everyone was safe, Lin Ze cautiously looked at the eight-foot figure. The scene fell into a stalemate.
The eight-foot figure looked around, then rushed towards Lin Ze. She held a grudge.
Lin Ze threw a handful of salt at her, and while she was momentarily hindered, he followed suit and sprinkled a circle of salt around himself. This would stop her from approaching even if she flew.
Seeing the salt circle, the eight-foot figure was furious. Salt could hurt her, so she was very cautious, but that didn’t mean she was truly afraid!
Her body gradually hunched over, and she slowly approached Lin Ze step by step. The salt in front of Lin Ze began to turn black, making his heart sink.
He couldn’t summon Kayako to the real world. The heart's medium would only activate when someone tried to sever her connection to Lin Ze. He could summon Kayako in the dream world, but he also couldn’t pull her into the dream world.
The eight-foot figure gradually straightened her body, and her steps became larger. Lin Ze could only gamble, gamble that his life-threatening crisis would trigger the medium.
A piercing sound suddenly came from the surroundings. Eight arrows shot into the park from different directions. Lin Ze and the eight-foot figure simultaneously looked up at the sky. Realizing something was wrong, the eight-foot figure wanted to leave, but the eight arrows began to glow red. “Barrier! Damn Exorcist!”
Amid the eight-foot figure’s screams, Qinzi jumped directly from the helicopter. She scattered a handful of talismans that floated down from the sky towards the park.
Qinzi landed in front of Lin Ze, threw her suitcase to him, and held the Kusanagi sword across her chest. “Lin Ze! You were too impulsive! Don’t you know how important you are?”
“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t just stand by and watch those kids die.” Lin Ze admitted his mistake without hesitation.
“…Forget it, you’re that kind of person. This area has already been evacuated, so you don’t have to worry about harming innocent people. Tsukino! Take them away. We have people waiting outside.” Qinzi actually admired Lin Ze's selfless spirit. Wasn't she the same? Or were all Exorcists fighting for this very reason?
“I know you!” The eight-foot figure’s eyes were cold. “You were part of the group that hunted me down a dozen years ago! I didn’t kill you then, but today you will die!”
“Heh, a dozen years have passed. I’m no longer the little girl I was back then. Countless seniors sacrificed themselves to give us a thorough understanding of all your abilities. Do you think you can defeat me?” Qinzi sneered and pointed the sword at the eight-foot figure.
“You humans are all going to die! You despicable humans! You worshiped me as a deity, sacrificing human children to me, and now you call me a demon! You all deserve to die!!!” All the salt turned into black dust. The eight-foot figure quickly rushed towards Qinzi and slapped her.
Boom! To Lin Ze's astonishment, the stone bricks under Qinzi’s feet cracked, but her body didn't even wobble. The eight-foot figure’s face stiffened. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist to punch Qinzi in the face.
Bang! Qinzi raised her left hand to catch the eight-foot figure’s fist and spoke with a mocking tone. “Surprised? I’ve already pasted countless Indestructible Talisman and Powerful King Kong Talisman on myself. I told you, we know your abilities inside and out.”
The eight-foot figure had many abilities, but she relied mainly on physical attacks. Her mental attacks weren’t strong, they only worked against ordinary people. As for abilities like flying and teleporting, while they were troublesome, setting up corresponding barriers could trap her. The truly frightening thing was her immortal body. This was the power of experience!
Qinzi swung her sword and then kicked her away.
The eight-foot figure stood up again. The black aura from the wound inflicted by the Kusanagi sword surged and began to heal.
This is it! Qinzi’s eyes narrowed slightly. Talismans and magic tools could inflict damage on the eight-foot figure, but the damage would heal, eventually becoming ineffective. She had a true immortal body, so she could only be sealed, not killed.
“Sister Qinzi, ready.”
Hearing this, Qinzi formed hand seals and chanted an incantation. Twelve Jizo statues the size of human heads began to emit a dazzling light. Rolling thunderclouds gathered above the park. The eight-foot figure let out a piercing scream.
When Qinzi finished her hand seals, a bolt of lightning struck the eight-foot figure, and the thick smoke concealed her.
Qinzi put away her stance and tilted her head slightly. The wind whipped her hair. “After the lightning strikes, she will be split into twelve parts and absorbed by these Jizo statues. Then, we will set up a grand formation to re-seal her. I told you, if I have a plan, even if I can’t beat Kayako, survival isn’t a problem. Now you believe me?”
This time, Lin Ze fully understood the meaning of being number one. From her appearance to the end, it took only a few minutes to take down her opponent. She was so powerful! Sister Qinzi is the best!
“Something’s wrong!”
The lightning stopped, and the smoke slowly dissipated. The eight-foot figure seemed to be still there!
“The Jizo statues are useless? She can’t be subdued?” Qinzi looked at the Jizo statues. The light had gradually faded, but the eight-foot figure hadn’t been absorbed.
“Hehehe… I’m curious to see what other tricks you have. Don’t forget, your talismans will eventually run out. Even if you can’t kill me now, you’ll be exhausted eventually!”
The eight-foot figure's sinister voice came from the shadows. When she reappeared in front of them, she had no injuries at all.
“What’s going on?” If it were something as absurd as Ju-On, he would have understood. But the eight-foot figure wasn’t as strong as Ju-On.
