Chapter 617: Chapter 614: Shrine

"Miss Luoxi, that move ’Meteor Burst’ of mine was just like a meteor hitting Earth, wasn’t it?" Lin Tian chuckled.

"You, using Ancient Martial Arts without any restrictions, never play by the rules," Ning Luoxi shook her head and said, and then she also moved, a shadow flashed, and she was already among the Japanese team.

Soon, all sorts of messy things began flying out from among the Japanese team, and upon closer inspection, Lin Tian realized they were their firearms, which were now completely ruined.

Some had bent barrels, others twisted into corkscrews, and most exaggerated were those few sniper rifles, which had broken into several pieces; soon, a pile of scrap metal was stacked on the ground.

In less than a minute, Ning Luoxi returned to her original spot, dusting off her hands as if she had done something trivial.

Lin Tian was utterly speechless, as the firearms were so ruined by Ning Luoxi that they could no longer be recognized as guns—such a waste.

Since entering the shrine, Lin Tian had never seen Ning Luoxi take action, and thought she had changed into a gentle woman, but her violent nature had not changed, and she was still that Berserker.

"Wow, Sister Luoxi is so amazing too!" Ning Luoxi’s action naturally elicited wonder from Kikuchi Mika.

Lin Tian ignored the overly excited nurse and shouted at the Japanese, "Where is your Lord Gu? Call him out, or I will destroy this shrine!"

Those unharmed Japanese stood up, looking at each other, not understanding what Lin Tian meant.

"If you want to destroy the shrine, step over our dead bodies first!" shouted the leader of a group that had caught up from behind.

There were six people in this group, and Lin Tian found their attire somewhat familiar. After thinking, he remembered they were the shrine’s Law Enforcers.

Lin Tian did not know how many Law Enforcers the entire shrine had, but these few had not appeared before.

"The spirit of the Samurai, huh? You want to die so badly, I’ll oblige!" Lin Tian sneered.

With a swoosh, he drew the samurai sword from behind his back, and with a movement, he appeared in front of the squad leader of the Law Enforcers, stabbing him in the abdomen before the leader had time to react.

"I’ll send you to meet your Samurai spirit!" Lin Tian shook his samurai sword and flung the squad leader aside.

The bright red blood flowed down the blade and dripped onto the stone pavement, staining the ground, and the dismal moonlight enveloped it, casting Lin Tian in the light of a bloodthirsty Demon God.

The Japanese, looking at the sharp blade and the bodies on the ground, felt a chill rise within them.

They had completed missions and spilled blood, but Lin Tian’s viciousness in overturning everyone at first sight, killing four with a thrown knife, and now one more with a single slash, chilled them to the bone.

"Killing you all is as easy as turning my hand over, but it’s so uninteresting; I’d rather destroy some valuable things so that your Lord Gu will feel distressed and won’t act like a shrinking turtle," Lin Tian said indifferently, then he wiped the blood off his sword on a nearby Japanese’s body, a simple action that frightened the Japanese man into kneeling.

The Japanese, seeing this "demon" and hearing he wouldn’t kill them, all sighed in relief; but upon hearing he intended to destroy valuable things, they each tensed again. If they couldn’t stop this "demon’s" actions and were blamed from above, their fate would be no better.

"Beautiful Sky Master, you’re more familiar with the shrine. What here would you say is most important?" Lin Tian turned and asked the Heavenly Master Girl.

Regarding Lin Tian’s continually innovative nicknames, the Heavenly Master Girl seemed quite helpless, but still responded, "This shrine is built according to the rules of Yin-Yang Dao, with the most important parts being the shrine niches on either side of the staircase and the main hall."

"The shrines, huh? Then I’ll greet these shrines first, let’s go." Lin Tian said with a smile.

Ning Luoxi did not object and followed Lin Tian outside. A group of Japanese automatically made way as they saw Lin Tian approaching, fearful of provoking this demon, especially since their Lord Gu had vanished, leaving them with no will to resist.

They did not know what Lin Tian was planning to destroy and since they couldn’t beat him, they could only follow far behind him and his group.

Turning through several corridors, Lin Tian reached the top platform of the staircase again, where the view down the long staircase looked even more spectacular, extending straight down to the foot of the mountain under the combined light of the lamps and the moon.

Whether temples or dojos, the front entrances often feature long staircases. Influenced by Huaxia culture, shrines in Japan do the same, though they prefer to place the shrine niches along the sides of the staircase.

According to the Heavenly Master Girl, these shrine niches are built in memory of the Onmyoji, containing items representing Shishen.

The Japanese caught up from behind and finally understood Lin Tian’s intention was to destroy the shrine niches, which immediately worried them.

Some even ran to the front, pointing at Lin Tian and the shrine niches, and waved their hands in desperation.

"Hehe, these shrines really are important. Look how anxious the Japanese are," Lin Tian chuckled.

But Lin Tian completely ignored their protests, thinking if they were capable, they should come and fight, for what use are protests if not to challenge with fists?

Fists are grown for times when words fail to resolve things!

Lin Tian walked up to the nearest shrine niche, which housed a human-shaped wooden puppet. The carving of the puppet was quite exquisite, with even the eyebrows clearly etched, although the puppet had a large belly, resembling a fat man.

He reached out to take the puppet, but the Japanese who had been retreating suddenly ran forward, shouting "no...no..." in English.

Even three of the bolder ones came forward and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Lin Tian.

All the Japanese expressed the same thought: do not touch our shrine niches.

Strange, although the shrine niches are important, your reactions are a bit too extreme, Lin Tian thought, feeling something was off and stopping, which made all the Japanese collectively sigh in relief.

"Miss Kikuchi, is there something wrong with the shrines? Why are they so nervous?" Lin Tian turned and asked Kikuchi Mika.

Kikuchi Mika shook her head, frowning slightly, "I was recently transferred here, and I’m not very clear on this. I’ve only heard that these shrine niches seal the Shishen of the Onmyoji from their lifetimes, but I just took that as a scare tactic to intimidate newcomers."

Seal Shishen? Is there such a mystical thing? Lin Tian looked again towards the Heavenly Master Girl, she was a professional and should know something.

"Normally, Shishen will dissipate with the death of their Onmyoji, but some evil Onmyoji use Yin-Yang Dao techniques to capture these fading Shishen, sealing them away with forbidden techniques," the Heavenly Master Girl explained with a frown.

"However, as far as I know, sealing the fleeting Shishen is pointless because even though the Onmyoji can seal them using forbidden techniques, they cannot control those Shishen. Moreover, Shishen without a master gradually lose their energy over time and will eventually dissipate anyway!" the Heavenly Master Girl explained, seemingly also puzzled by the actions of these evil Onmyoji.
