Anime Crossover: Am I the only one who can see ghosts?

Now that he has finally encountered a cat demon, and a harmful one at that, Fang Yan has no reason to let it go.

(Are you sure you finally encountered a monster?)

Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, the cat demon was in no hurry to say anything. Instead, it sensed danger and its fur bristled instantly. This guy had no sense of martial ethics and had ambushed it. It kicked its feet, trying to dodge Fang Yan's attack.

However, it seemed to be a bit weak. Although it dodged most of Fang Yan's attacks, the flames still burned the cat demon's body. The flames began to scorch the cat demon's body.

It seems weaker than I imagined! Fang Yan narrowed his eyes when he saw this. To be honest, he was also testing the cat demon in front of him and observing it through the laws of astrology.

This cat demon seems to be more than just a simple creature. It's not that the cat demon has a great or powerful identity, but rather that it is being controlled by someone!

Onmyoji? Fang Yan quickly thought of this possibility.

No one said that Onmyoji must be good people! In fact, compared to normal people, these Onmyoji are probably the ones who most want the world to change. With the increase of demons and monsters, the status and position of Onmyoji will be greatly enhanced. Fang Yan still knows the principle of nurturing enemies to enhance one's own importance.

Moreover, this cat demon seems to be more than just someone who raises bandits to enhance his own prestige!

So it seems I've attracted some interesting people!

However, there's no need to worry about that for now. Fang Yan has hidden himself, and it will probably take that Onmyoji a lot of effort to find him. By then, he'll probably have already taken off!

Similarly, this incident served as a wake-up call for Fang Yan. He realized that even when encountering Onmyoji, he needed to be wary and not casually assume they were one of his own.

Chapter 9

Flames spread across the cat demon's body, the intense heat causing it great discomfort. The cat demon could even clearly feel its demonic power being burned by the flames.

Clearly, this flame seemed to have a significant restraining effect on demonic power, which terrified the cat demon even more. It disregarded the flames on its body and pounced directly towards Fang Yan's location.

It knew that as long as it didn't deal with the man in front of it, even if it extinguished the flames, other flames would still fall on it.

The sharp cat claws slashed towards Fang Yan, causing him to frown. This cat demon didn't seem to be entirely useless; at least its speed was quite fast. If Fang Yan were scratched, he would probably be in considerable trouble.

Fortunately, although Dongjun is not particularly good at close combat, he is not completely bad at it either; in fact, he is quite good at it. This lack of skill is more relative to other experts of the same level.

Facing the cat demon's attack, Fang Yan leaped into the air, spinning and shifting effortlessly as he passed over the cat demon's head. He then gently patted its back, causing the cat demon to stagger and crash into a nearby telephone pole as if struck by a tremendous force. The cat's paws struck the telephone pole precisely.

The utility pole, made of reinforced concrete, was sliced ​​in two by the cat demon's claws. As the pole was cut, countless power lines were pulled, and some even fell to the ground.

Fang Yan quickly moved aside, then smirked, "There might be a power outage today."

The work efficiency in the Sakura Prefecture is not as high as that on the mainland, especially in terms of infrastructure!

In cases like this, where a high-voltage line malfunctions, it simply cannot be repaired in less than a few days! Sometimes, it might even take several months to fix!

Thinking of this, Fang Yan's eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at the cat demon. It was this guy who had caused him to not be able to go home tonight; he was simply unforgivable.

The cat demon was feeling uncomfortable from Fang Yan's push and was thinking about how to escape. Then, it was affected by the high voltage from the high-voltage lines, which made its whole body feel numb and tingly, and it was difficult to walk. Now, it could feel the chilling killing intent emanating from the other party.

The cat demon felt a chill run down its spine and quickly said, "Wait, please spare me for the sake of the Anbei family!"

"Anbei?" Fang Yan sneered, "Forget about the Anbei family's reputation. Even if Anbei Seimei or Xu Fu came, they wouldn't have any face to speak of!"

Are the Abe clan very strong? Perhaps in Sakura Province, the Abe clan does hold a unique position. Abe Seimei is considered the founder of the Yin-Yang School in Sakura Province.

Even before, the Anbei family had a certain influence here. Fang Yan had previously thought they were just a bunch of charlatans.

However, many of the traditions here were left behind by Xu Fu!

Isn't Xu Fu the Lord of the Clouds? He's even a subordinate of the Lord of the East! Of course, this Xu Fu is not that Xu Fu; they are not from the same world. However, after receiving the Lord of the East's inheritance, Fang Yan does have the confidence to say such things.

After saying this, Fang Yan's hands condensed into two long sword energies—gathering energy into blades!

Dongjun also possesses this skill, but he's not used to using it!

The condensed sword energy was unleashed by Fang Yan from between his hands, slashing towards the cat demon.

Faced with this attack, the cat demon instinctively tried to dodge, but how could it possibly dodge such a move so easily?

Moreover, this was a cat demon that had been burned by flames and paralyzed by high voltage. The two sword energies landed squarely on the cat demon, causing it to let out a mournful cry and fall to the ground dead.

"Is he dead?" Fang Yan was not particularly moved by the sight, as it seemed to him to be the case.

This cat demon's strength wasn't actually that great; it was just a bit strange in some ways.

If someone were to use firearms to deal with it, well, it should be able to fight back, right? Of course, that is, the premise is that these firearms can hit this cat demon.

"Ding! Special energy detected and automatically absorbed. Current charge level: 48%!"

The system notification entered Fang Yan's mind as expected, which made Fang Yan nod in satisfaction. Although the cat demon was weak, it still charged the system by 27%, which was much stronger than Aki Tomoya's previous power.

This can be considered a windfall!

I'm getting closer and closer to my complete recovery system!

If we can encounter these ghosts and monsters every day, the system will be fully restored in less than two days.

“However, Anbei family! Hehe!” Fang Yan stared at the cat demon’s corpse, his right hand outstretched, and countless starlight gathered in his hand, as if countless stars were twinkling. Through astrology, Fang Yan tried to see something clearly.

Kato Megumi, who was hiding in the corner watching this scene from a distance, was also stunned. Her heart was in turmoil. What happened today had shattered her previous values. And her classmate Fang Yan, was he really human?

A legendary cultivator hiding in the city?

The protector of the masses?

(Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, and auto-subscribe! Love you all!)

Chapter 10

"Interesting, Anbei Zhongming, huh!?" Fang Yan's face revealed a playful smile. His use of astrology was superb, but Dongjun was ultimately just a martial artist, not a cultivator, and therefore unable to discern the secrets of heaven.

It's already quite impressive that Fang Yan was able to find out about Anbei Zhongming through the karma associated with this cat demon. As for anything more, sorry, Fang Yan can't do that at least for now.

Unless Fang Yan's strength can be further improved, at that time he will no longer be an ordinary martial artist.

What the cat demon said earlier was true; it was indeed related to the Anbei family. However, this cat demon wasn't even a shikigami; it was just something the Anbei family released to put on a show.

By committing crimes and creating panic, they elevate the status of the Anbei family.

It has to be said that this kind of behavior of harboring bandits to enhance one's own importance is truly disgusting.

If we become stronger in the future, we will wipe out all these guys sooner or later!

As the cat demon was destroyed, the street scene around Fang Yan and his companions began to shatter. People gradually started walking on the previously empty street. It seemed that before this, the people on this street had been unconsciously ignoring it.

Soon, many people noticed the broken utility pole, the high-voltage line that had fallen to the ground, and the huge cat demon corpse lying on the ground, and they all screamed.

They never expected that there would be such a monster with a cat's head and a human body. At first, some people suspected that it was someone cosplaying, after all, there are many cosplayers in their Sakura Province. But soon people noticed the difference. If it were cosplay, how could there be so much blood?

This made the people around nervous, and they scattered in all directions.

If it were better, it would only mean someone died, but if it really was a monster, it would be even harder for them to accept.

Some of the bolder ones also took out their phones and called the police.

The instigator of all this, Fang Yan, left the place as soon as the environment created by the cat demon shattered. Apart from Kato Megumi, no one noticed him, or rather, it seemed that everyone ignored him.

It was as if all of this had nothing to do with him!

As for Kato Megumi, well, it would be strange if she were discovered, or even found!

Kato Megumi patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. What happened today had truly shaken her worldview. The fact that there really were monsters in this world, and cultivators who could slay demons, left her deeply unsettled.

After some deliberation, Kato Megumi also chose to turn and leave. She didn't know if Fang Yan had noticed her before, but for her, it seemed that pretending not to know anything was the best option.

There's a saying on the mainland: "The more you know, the faster you die." Kato Megumi certainly doesn't want to die so soon!

......................................................................................................

"What happened? The cat demon is dead?" In a courtyard, a young man dressed in a kimono cursed angrily with a gloomy expression.

As the third son of the head of the Anbei family, Anbei Zhongming was clearly not the kind of person who could stay idle.

It wasn't just him; the entire Anbei family was not a family that stayed idle.

During this period, they could clearly feel that their cultivation speed had increased significantly, and the probability of ghosts and monsters being born in nature seemed to have also increased.

Even though I haven't read any novels about supernatural resurgence, I could guess the general idea.

This made them even more excited, because if spiritual energy were to revive, their status and position would surely be greatly enhanced.

After all, if ghosts and monsters become commonplace, who wouldn't worry about accidentally being haunted by one?

To lay the groundwork, they also deliberately raised some monsters, sending them out to test the waters, stir up the situation, and let the higher-ups know that the situation was different now.

However, Anbei Zhongming never expected that the monster he released would die as soon as it left the gate!

This was unacceptable to him! Wasn't this a slap in the face? Someone was actually targeting their Anbei family with demon-exorcising techniques—this was the most unacceptable provocation!

He needs to investigate this matter thoroughly!

"Looks like I'm having some bad luck!! The power's out!" Vermouth had just finished moving and was about to relax for a bit, maybe even take a nice shower, when she was dismayed to find that the apartment's power seemed to be off. This made her quite uncomfortable, and she decided to spend the night at a nearby hotel.

Before she could take any further action, Vermouth's phone rang. When she saw the number, her pupils contracted, and she quickly answered the phone: "BOSS!"

"Hmm, something interesting has happened near your place, which is very likely related to our target. Investigate it!" The voice on the other end of the phone was clearly distorted, but Vermouth was used to it.

That old man doesn't trust anyone, not even her.

But the other person's words shocked Vermouth: "You mean those things?"

Chapter 11

"Hmm! Not far from your residence! A corpse resembling a cat demon has appeared!" the voice on the other end of the phone said in a strange tone.

Clearly, he knew Vermouth's location perfectly well; otherwise, he wouldn't have contacted her so immediately.

"A cat demon?" Vermouth was taken aback for a moment, then revealed a hint of interest: "Looks like my luck is pretty good."

Vermouth didn't care that the BOSS knew her location; she was well aware of this. Besides, this house was arranged by the organization.

"However, it's already dead. I need you to investigate who killed it!" the other person said seriously. "This is probably related to extraordinary power! And then you must obtain this extraordinary power at all costs!"

"If I remember correctly, the Anbe family is the strongest Onmyoji family. Wouldn't it be better to go find them?" Vermouth grunted, but still asked.
