Who Made Him an Antagonist

363: Chapter 363 The Second Prince of SakuraBang— Without the maintenance of the Onmyōji sect leaders, the entire shimmering barrier that encased the Ghost Domain shattered on the spot.

The boundless Ghost Domain, like a black hole, spread uncontrollably in all directions, swallowing everything in its vicinity, instantly enveloping even Qin Ge.

Pfft, pfft, pfft— Immediately after, a series of dull, squelching sounds of flesh being pierced echoed within the Ghost Domain.

The wails of Onmyōji rose and fell one after another.

”Run!” ”Run quickly!” ”The barrier has shattered, the Ghostly creatures inside have started slaughtering indiscriminately!” ”No... don’t kill me.” ”Save... save me!”

As the Ghost Domain submerged everything around it, the startled cries of those fleeing gradually turned into wails of terror.

Even while inside the Ghost Domain, Qin Ge could smell the thick scent of blood in the surroundings.

It was becoming increasingly pungent!

It was as if it had turned into a blood mist, merging into the ghost qi!

Accompanied by severed limbs flying everywhere, suddenly, a bright red figure shot violently toward Qin Ge.

Sharp claws swiped toward Qin Ge’s neck. A fluffy tail was raised high, then whipped toward Qin Ge’s waist and abdomen.

”Mas... Master!?” When she arrived before Qin Ge, An Ya, having received the Moon God’s permission to see the other person’s face, immediately retracted her lethal move upon seeing Qin Ge’s face—a face she couldn’t be more familiar with—and threw herself into Qin Ge’s arms like a returning swallow.

”Master, why are you here?” ”You shouldn’t have come!” ”The path for us to return has been cut off!” ”All of Sakura has mobilized, burning their bridges, determined at all costs to forcibly keep Xu Shiyin here!”

An Ya lifted her gaze, her enchanting fox eyes filled with worry.

She knew of Qin Ge’s strength; even the sect leaders of Sakura could hardly rival him. But this matter involved too much. The Sakura side had already torn off their mask. It was no longer just a single major power, but the entire nation, twisted into a single rope, determined to forcibly keep Xu Shiyin in Sakura!

Qin Ge lowered his eyes, stroked An Ya’s fox tail along the fur, and said solemnly, ”It’s fine. Where are Xu Shiyin, Xiao Yue, and the others?”

An Ya pointed into the distance behind her, her face serious as she said, ”After Xiao Yue activated the Ghost Domain, she fainted. Xu Shiyin is by Xiao Yue’s side taking care of her!”

Swish— Qin Ge’s figure flashed, and he shot off in the direction An Ya had pointed.

In the core area of the Ghost Domain, Xu Shiyin sat crouched beside Xiao Yue, using her clothes to wipe away the bright red blood overflowing from the cracked skin on Xiao Yue’s surface.

At this very moment, Xiao Yue looked like a piece of exquisite porcelain that had shattered. Her entire body was covered in dense cracks, as if she would completely crumble the very next second.

Hearing the commotion, Xu Shiyin turned her head. Upon seeing Qin Ge’s familiar face, her aching eye sockets could no longer hold back the tears, which gushed out like a broken dam.

Plop, plop! Hot, bean-sized tears slid down Xu Shiyin’s exquisite, pretty face.

Xu Shiyin pursed her pale lips, the corners of her mouth trembling, and choked out guiltily, ”Qin Ge, I’m sorry, I... I didn’t mean to.” ”I didn’t expect that I would implicate Xiao Yue and An Ya.” ”And I didn’t expect that Xiao Yue would shatter for my sake.”

The matter of stealing the secret was known only to her Xu Family. An Ya and Xiao Yue had both been kept in the dark.

Originally, the secret had been stolen, and everything was peaceful. No one expected that just as she was preparing to set off to return to the Dragon Nation, it would suddenly erupt.

A large number of ninjas and Onmyōji surrounded them completely. Xiao Yue, in order to protect her, had even triggered this so-called Ghost Domain, causing herself to start collapsing as if she had shattered.

”This has nothing to do with you.”

Qin Ge shook his head, patted Xu Shiyin’s trembling shoulders, then crouched down by Xiao Yue and reached out to press his hand against her lower abdomen.

A wisp of misty, cool Qi flowed along Xiao Yue’s broken body, repairing the cracks on her skin surface at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One must know that Xiao Yue was a Ghostly creature to begin with. She was a Ghost God Body formed from ghost qi.

The reason she had a physical form was because Qin Ge’s blood had helped her forge a Physical Body. This Physical Body simply could not withstand all of Xiao Yue’s massive ghost qi.

Hence, it would crack. When it came down to it, Xiao Yue had only chosen to fall into a deep sleep because she didn’t want her ’mortal flesh’ to crack. In reality, she had not suffered any damage at all!

Xiao Yue’s half-closed eyelids trembled slightly before she gradually woke up.

She first looked at her own ’ugly’, cracked face, and upon seeing the cracks disappear, she dared to lift her gaze to look at Qin Ge, saying earnestly, ”Young Master Qin, I did not let anyone harm Miss Xu Shiyin!”

In Xiao Yue’s eyes, Qin Ge’s instructions were always placed first. Qin Ge had spoken, telling her to protect Xu Shiyin.

That meant that before she fell, no one could harm a single hair on Xu Shiyin’s head!

”Well done.” Qin Ge reached out, dotingly rubbed Xiao Yue’s little head, and then nodded indifferently, saying, ”Withdraw the Ghost Domain.” ”I will handle the rest.”

Xiao Yue nodded obediently and dutifully withdrew the Ghost Domain. In an instant, the four of them were exposed under the moonlight.

Behind the four of them was that most famous Mount Fuji of Sakura!

At this moment, beneath Mount Fuji, the top experts from the three major forces of Sakura—the ninjas, Onmyōji, and samurai—were all gathered.

The strongest members of the three forces were currently surrounding a young man wearing a dark black kimono, who was slowly stepping forward. The young man was none other than the Second Prince of Sakura, who currently had the highest prestige and was the next heir to the royal family.

The Second Prince frowned slightly, stared in Qin Ge’s direction, and said calmly, ”Young Master Qin, this matter is of great importance, and we in Sakura have no intention of involving you.” ”If you are sensible, you had better withdraw and leave early.”

”This prince can guarantee you that everyone except Xu Shiyin will be able to leave Sakura safe and sound.”

”Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are personally, Young Master Qin, you are ultimately just a mortal! Within the borders of Sakura, it is not a place where you so-called ancient martial arts experts can run rampant!”

Rumble— As his voice fell, beneath Mount Fuji, rows of modern infantry fighting vehicles with their cannons aimed at Qin Ge’s direction slowly drove forward on their tracks.

In the sky behind the Second Prince, there were even dozens or hundreds of armed helicopters, their propellers humming as they took to the air.

Qin Ge tilted his head, staring at the modern army that the Second Prince had assembled. A smile played on his lips, and his eyes were filled with a provocative look as he said playfully, ”Just with you, you dare to threaten me?”

Boom— The next second, a deafening hum echoed from the group of infantry fighting vehicles.
