Chapter 554: Zhao Yao’s Spirit Strikes

The Divine Rays of Terror blasted out in all directions, scattering the spirits that were in their way. None of them were a match for Kaede Hattori.
“Kaede Hattori... How is he so powerful? No wonder people call him a one-man army. His Divine Rays of Terror are actually that powerful?”
Though Momo watched him from afar, the sight of the blood-red rays on his body was enough to make her quiver fearfully. She wanted to escape that very instant and could only imagine how terrified the spirits had felt when they came into direct contact with Kaede Hattori.
Normal spirits could never be his match. Only apostle spirits, who were much stronger, stood a chance against him.
At the thought of this, Momo already looked defeated. Her strongest apostle spirits were destroyed by Bai Quan. If Flaming Orchid Devil, Divine Gun, and Sword Spirit were here, they would definitely be able to defeat Kaede Hattori.
If the numbers of the Spirit Army were large enough, it would have been possible to neutralize Kaede Hattori’s superpower.
Sadly, Momo had no more powerful subordinates left and the strength of the Spirit Army had been largely depleted after two consecutive battles. Kaede Hattori had chosen the best opportunity to strike.
Looking at the black force in front of her that bubbled with the regularity of a beating heart, Momo felt that victory was no longer in her hands.
Her ability to create spirits allowed her to draw out a part of the debtor’s soul in order to create a spirit with strong powers. The more money a debtor owed, the more innate power that spirit had.
Momo had estimated that the police officers would pick up more than one billion, so the spirits created would certainly be very strong. She believed that the spirits created from the Special Higher Police combined with the spirits she already had under her control would definitely have given her the upper hand.
But seeing how Kaede Hattori wiped out the whole Special Higher Police with his Divine Rays of Terror, Momo realized that even if she drew all the souls of the Special Higher Police to create her Spirit Army, they would still be no match for Kaede Hattori.
Upon reflection, fleeing seemed to be the best way out.
“Despicable.” Momo was one of the supercats with the most resolve. Though she did not want to flee, she had no other choice but to give up her base.
An idea came to her mind. The remaining spirits gathered in front of her. They surrounded her, forming a shield as she planned to escape from the back.
Although the spirits she created had the powers of invisibility and shape-shifting, Momo had none of those powers. She was a living being and could only run away on her feet like a normal cat.
Momo had barely fled more than 10 meters before she ran straight into a wall. She saw Cannon covered in injuries like a zombie cat. He opened his mouth and spat out a few maggots before pouncing towards her.
Ah!! Momo shrieked in terror and fell to the ground, crawling back a couple meters.
At the spot where she bumped into the wall, a ray of blood-red light floated in the air.
Momo turned pale and said, “Kaede Hattori, you blocked my escape route?”
“Of course!”
Boom! Blood-red laser beams shot out from Kaede Hattori’s eyes, defeating the last remaining spirits that were in his way.
All that was left standing between Kaede Hattori and Momo was the black ball of force that was still forming. There were no other spirits left.
The blood-red robe around Kaede Hattori had become so thick it started to turn purple. It looked as if a mass of blood had coagulated around him. It flowed nonstop, emitting an intense bloody smell that pervaded everyone’s senses.
At the sight of this blood-red robe, Momo was terrified beyond words. She trembled, paralyzed by fear.
“Momo, you have already lost.”
Kaede Hattori let out a cold laugh and took slow steps towards Momo. He extended his hand while reaching out to grab her by the head.
However, right at this moment, the black ball of force that was still forming vanished. It revealed the shadow of a person who raised his hand and grabbed Kaede Hattori by the wrist.
Kaede Hattori turned and saw a black-haired, black-eyed young man squinting at him.
“Is this the spirit created from the souls taken from the Special Higher Police? It’s only one person? Why do I not remember seeing him in the Special Higher Police?” Kaede Hattori was puzzled for a moment. He then shot blood-red laser beams from his eyes which pierced the eyes of the spirit directly.
However, the Divine Rays of Terror, that had destroyed everything in their path until now, were like a clay ox entering the sea. They disappeared into the depths of the eyes of the spirit and had no effect on it.
Kaede Hattori was shocked as the spirit opened his mouth and said slowly, “Could you do me a favor and stop being so insistent?”
“Ridiculous.”
Kaede Hattori scoffed. Blood-red rays emanated from his body as he raised his foot and kicked the chest of the spirit with a loud thud. As if a train collided with a truck, enormous waves of force blasted out from the point of contact. Large cracks snaked through the ground at the same time.
Kaede Hattori’s Divine Rays of Terror could not only incite fear in a living body but could also be used to interfere with reality, causing physical damage.
Unleashing and amassing terror were very simple and did not require much effort as both were basic skills achieved through the Divine Rays of Terror.
However, interfering with reality expended a lot of energy as it caused physical damage. For that reason, Kaede Hattori rarely did so.
But this was not the first time he met an opponent who was not afraid of his Divine Rays of Terror. Usually, when it came to that, he would roll up his sleeves and take out the opponent with his own hands.
This time, his opponent was left totally unharmed while Kaede Hattori had to take a few steps back. He stared at his opponent in disbelief.
Yamada, who was Zhao Yao in disguise, rushed over to Kaede Hattori. He excitedly observed the newly created spirit with some curiosity.
“Is this the spirit created from my soul?” Zhao Yao observed the features of the spirit carefully and thought to himself, “He’s not as handsome as me though.”
When she saw how Kaede Hattori was forced to retreat after a single blow, Momo was also excited, “Nice one!” She pointed to Kaede Hattori and said, “Go on, finish him off!”
Zhao Yao’s spirit suddenly yawned and lay down on the ground, “That’s too much effort. Let’s take a break for today and stop fighting, okay? I will make it up for you tomorrow with two fights.”
Zhao Yao was speechless.
“That’s weird,” Matcha remarked, “This spirit is so similar to Zhao Yao!”
Elizabeth, Ares, and the others nodded their heads in unison, “They look exactly alike. The spirit does lack a bit of charm.”
Hearing Zhao Yao’s spirit’s words, Momo burst out enraged, “That’s our enemy! Enemy! Do you get it? If you don’t kill him, he will kill us!”
Zhao Yao’s spirit glanced at her, “At best, he’ll finish you off. He won’t be able to kill me.” Suddenly, his eyes brightened as he said to Kaede Hattori, “Hey, what about if I just sold this d*mn cat to you?”
“That’s it,” Matcha pointed to Zhao Yao’s spirit excitedly, “It’s exactly the same! The spirit is just like you...”
Bam! Matcha fell flat on the ground after Zhao Yao slapped him.
