150: Chapter 150: Please Order Zen Heart as You Wish!
Li Haotian hovered in the air, the gold-red Iron Man Armor shining brilliantly under the sun.
Suddenly, he steadied his voice and sternly declared, “This place is the territory of the East Dragon Empire, Kobe Rojin, you have violated the United Nations world boss contention rules, trespassing into our East Dragon territory with undeniable evidence!”
“According to East Dragon law, death is the penalty!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Haotian waved his hand, and the twenty thousand laser cannons suspended in the sky simultaneously burst forth with dazzling light!
The sharp whistling sound echoed through the sky.
Among them, there were screams of terror mixed in.
Puff puff puff puff puff—
Under such a barrage of firepower, the so-called “elites” brought by Kobe Rojin had no room for resistance whatsoever.
They used all their defensive methods, but only managed to hold on for three seconds before their fragile bodies were pierced by countless lasers!
Immediately, the sky was filled with a strong, acrid stench.
Behind Li Haotian, Smaug snorted in disdain.
Having witnessed Li Haotian’s battle against the Witch Demon King, Smaug found this small scenario uninteresting.
Not only Smaug, but even Ling Xuehan, who was fully sealing the space, shared the same thoughts.
After dealing with the small fry from Sakura Country, Li Haotian seemed to have done something insignificant and didn’t mind at all.
Yet, based on his habit of caution, he still scanned his surroundings through God’s Eye View.
However, just as he surveyed the area, Li Haotian really found a straggler!
His eyes suddenly focused in a certain direction in the sky.
“Come out!” Li Haotian sternly ordered.
The next moment, a young girl with eyes full of intense fear silently emerged from the void.
Simultaneously, behind the young girl, a simple oval mirror was floating in the air.
The girl looked about sixteen or seventeen, wearing a black-and-purple mage’s robe, and timidly gazed at Li Haotian.
Seeing her appearance, Li Haotian was momentarily taken aback.
Beside him, Ling Xuehan’s voice suddenly sounded, “She is the Cloud Mirror, Kobe Rojin’s Shikigami.”
“Just now, to seal the surrounding space, she concealed herself in the void, which is how she avoided your laser cannon barrage.”
“But a Shikigami’s power comes from their master; after you killed Kobe Rojin, she can no longer use her abilities, which is why she appeared.”
Upon hearing this, Li Haotian suddenly realized.
So this being is a Shikigami!
Shaking his head slightly, Li Haotian didn’t bother talking to this Shikigami and with a thought, the twenty thousand laser cannons once again targeted the Cloud Mirror.
Seeing that in the next second, this Shikigami would be blasted to ashes by Li Haotian and return to the Shikigami Space.
However, at this moment, the young girl before him cried out with trembling eyes: “Don’t!
I’m willing to follow you!”
Upon hearing this, Li Haotian paused his action immediately.
He looked at the Cloud Mirror in confusion, almost thinking he heard wrong: “What did you say?
The Cloud Mirror nodded repeatedly, her big round eyes shimmering with tears: “Yes, I’m willing to follow you, please don’t kill me!”
Li Haotian turned his head in confusion toward Ling Xuehan: “Second Senior Sister, isn’t it said that the Shikigamis of Sakura Country can only be controlled by Onmyojis?
Ling Xuehan also looked puzzled: “I’ve never heard of that, I only know Onmyoji’s Shikigami lives in a Shikigami Space and can only appear in the real world after being summoned and bonded with its host.”
Upon hearing their doubts, Cloud Mirror hurriedly explained, “Normally, that’s the case, but I’m different from other Shikigamis.”
“My essence has changed; if I die, I can’t return to the Shikigami Space.”
“So, please don’t kill me, ko ni oh nai ga i!” Cloud Mirror bowed deeply to Li Haotian.
Li Haotian raised an eyebrow and looked at her, half-skeptically: “Your essence has changed?
What does that mean?”
Cloud Mirror lifted her head and quickly answered, “In essence, I’m not really a Shikigami, but rather a Mirror Spirit of the Cloud Mirror.”
“The true Cloud Mirror is this mirror behind me.”
As she said this, the young girl gestured, and the simple, old-fashioned mirror behind her flew to her front.
Before Li Haotian could ask, Cloud Mirror continued, “My original form was called Zen Heart, a monk whose soul was absorbed into this Cloud Mirror after death, becoming a Mirror Spirit.”
“Zen Heart has both yin and yang aspects; the yang is a male Mirror Spirit, while I belong to the yin aspect, so I’m female.”
“The yang-side Zen Heart did not possess space powers, so Kobe Rojin, to enhance my control over space powers, forced me through a secret technique to devour the yang-side Mirror Spirit and truly master the Cloud Mirror.”
“Since then, my essence has changed.
Rather than a Shikigami, I’m more like a Mirror Demon now.”
“Therefore, I am no longer accepted by the Shikigami Space, and if I die, I will completely disappear from this world!”
Listening to Zen Heart’s explanation, both Li Haotian and Ling Xuehan were amazed.
Li Haotian pondered for a moment, then asked gravely, “Then how can you ensure you won’t betray me?”
Zen Heart opened her mouth, and a thumb-sized Golden Core floated out from her mouth.
She quickly said, “This is my consciousness core; I can offer it to you, so you can monitor my thoughts and consciousness at any time.”
“And if you destroy my consciousness core, I will perish instantly.
This way, you should be assured, right?”
Li Haotian showed a look of surprise and instinctively glanced at Smaug.
What Zen Heart referred to as a consciousness core seemed very similar to Smaug’s soul mark!
“Smaug, is that thing really her soul mark?” Li Haotian quietly transmitted his voice, inquiring Smaug.
After sensing for a moment, Smaug immediately replied, “Yes, it is indeed a soul mark!”
Receiving a positive response, Li Haotian was instantly relieved.
Because he already controlled Smaug’s soul mark, if Smaug lied to him, he would notice immediately.
Thinking about Zen Heart’s mastery of space powers, Li Haotian’s face showed excitement.
With Zen Heart, it would be like having control over space powers himself.
In the future, if he encountered people like Kobe Rojin again, he wouldn’t need Ling Xuehan with him; he could handle them alone!
With this thought, Li Haotian looked at Zen Heart and nodded slightly: “Alright!
From today on, you will be my Shikigami!”
Upon hearing this, Zen Heart breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this means she still didn’t have her freedom, it was still better than dying completely!
She offered the consciousness core with both hands, and after Li Haotian swallowed it, she gracefully bowed to Li Haotian, a bright smile on her face: “Zen Heart greets the master!”
“If there are any tasks in the future, please feel free to instruct Zen Heart!”
Looking at Zen Heart’s beautiful and adorable round face, Li Haotian nodded in satisfaction, feeling great.
You know, some of these Onmyoji Shikigamis are quite pleasing to the eye!
