Thunder? I checked before I went out today, and it was clearly sunny, so why is there thunder?
As darkness fell, the moon's reflection on the sea disappeared, and the water beneath turned pitch black.
It seemed that Ito Oogami was also enraged. The seaweed's attack became frantic and fierce, surrounding Tou Tang from all sides. It looked as if it wanted to swallow him whole into the center of the seaweed.
Just you?
After transforming into a jelly bean, a strange anger surged up, and his blue eyes gleamed in the sea.
You think you can pull me down?
He reached out and grabbed a piece of seaweed, and like a gym-goer gripping a heavy rope, gave it a sudden shake.
"Pfft!"
The entire piece of seaweed shattered with an extremely eerie, resonant sound, even causing Ito Okami's local area to tremble slightly.
The seawater suddenly turned cold, and the extremely low temperature was spreading, but it was coming from the sea surface.
The water's surface was shattered by raindrops as fine as needles, and Doutang needed to catch its breath.
He quickly surfaced, but as soon as he touched the surface, he felt as if he were still in the sea. The temperature on the sea surface was extremely low, and within just a few minutes, a strong wind suddenly arose.
He looked up at the sky, where heavy dark clouds slowly pressed down on the ground, and messy rain fell horizontally in the air due to the strong wind, with streaks of white rain curtains swaying in the wind.
How is this going?
Ito Oogami underwater still didn't give chase. Surprised, Tou Tang decided to be cautious and swam back to shore.
The sudden storm woke the entire city, and the lights in many buildings came on, appearing hazy and indistinct in the dark night. Dou Tang looked at the city in front of him and could only see blurry lights and shadows sinking in the rain.
I felt uneasy; what exactly was going on with this unusual storm?
"Ugh——"
Just as he was surprised, a long and eerie police...
The flute music started again, sounding somewhat distorted in the dull rain.
Then came the lightning.
"Boom!!!"
Tiny strands of lightning fell from the low-hanging dark clouds, striking the mountain with unerring accuracy. The ferocious lightning bolts darted through the forest, seemingly converging on something.
Then the thing seemed to change its appearance, and lightning streaked out, striking into another mountain wilderness.
Just as Dou Tang was surprised, the second bolt of heavenly lightning struck.
"Boom!!"
The same deafening roar, the same eerie lightning, even the landing point was the same!
After pausing briefly at its landing point in the mountains and forests, the lightning bolt shot out horizontally again, striking the wilderness!
Dou Tang suddenly realized that this was definitely deliberate!
This is also related to siren heads?!
Who did this?!
I'm taking a day off to adjust my mindset.

Chapter 114 I Summon Heavenly Thunder
Amidst howling winds, torrential rain, lightning, and thunder, Dou Tang stood on the beach, the chaotic raindrops leaving the entire sandy expanse in disarray.
The ocean behind them churned endlessly, but Ito Oogami still did not come ashore. Instead, he remained secluded in the sea. Dou Tang had no interest in paying attention to him for the time being, and simply looked at the blurry dark night in the distance.
The sand on the beach turned into pits as the raindrops pounded against it, and water splashed everywhere. The Fall Bean's smooth, suit-like body shone wetly in the rain.
His eyes were like torches, surging with a torrent of indigo light, drifting far away in the rain like raging fire.
The unusual celestial phenomena continued, with thunderclaps relentlessly striking the mountains at intervals of half a minute.
The entire city swayed in the wind and rain, the torii gates stood indifferently under the dark clouds, and the Buddha statues in the temples coldly watched everything in this mortal world. This was an eerie place that even gods and Buddhas did not want to pay attention to.
It is also the time when evil spirits enter the mortal world.
Dou Tang looked back at the sea.
It seems that because of the thunder that day, Ito no Okami did not choose to remain dormant. The chaotic skeletons and tangled seaweed gradually emerged from the water, swaying in the wind and rain, making a clattering sound as if bones were colliding.
Dou Tang stepped forward with his left foot and back with his right, then his fists clenched violently, creating a momentary vacuum around him as the rain-soaked body was enveloped in a loud bang.
"Whoosh..."
The Fall Guys' ghostly growls carried far amidst the cacophony of the rain.
Countless visible black phantoms trembled as he uttered this low cry, trying to detach themselves from him. Those illusory, hideous faces struggled in agony and made the same sound as him.
"call……"
A black vortex formed beneath his feet and dissipated in all directions as his low shout ended. Hermit crabs and other creatures on the beach were instantly overturned, yet they fled in all directions with even greater vitality.
I'll kill you first.
Next, go deal with that siren head.
It's not too late.
The next moment, a fierce punch blast tore through the black curtain of water and exploded into the sea!
………………
Fifteen minutes ago, when the heavy rain had just started.
Rainwater flowed slowly down the vermilion pillars, a strong wind blew, and fallen leaves danced in the autumn forest, covering the ground in front of the shrine.
The vermilion torii gates turned an eerie crimson from the heavy rain, and the sacred path formed by the five torii gates resembled a monster with its mouth open, ready to devour all the insolent who dared to trespass into this sacred land.
But some rude people had already arrived.
News of Priest Ito's escape had already spread, so the exorcists simply decided to hold their exorcisms at the Ito Shrine, since they wouldn't care if it were destroyed anyway.
The exorcists, dressed in black raincoats, stood around the open space, looking towards the center of the open space in front of the shrine.
Facing those pairs of eyes, some mocking and indifferent, Lu Zizhen stood in the center and closed her eyes.
The Lu family did not use the dual swords tradition; they always used maces. However, Lu Zizhen did not inherit the mace technique but left it to Lu Zijun. Therefore, only talismans have accompanied her for so long.
So she practiced swordsmanship from a young age, learning from books, television, oral traditions, and even from the simplest martial arts classes that cost 800 yuan for half a year.
Eventually, she mastered her own swordsmanship. With the power of her longswords and talismans, she was able to gain a foothold in the Lu family.
After leaving the Lu family, she relied on this ability to work at the Japanese station.
They held their heels.
"Qiang Qiang."
She suddenly shook her hand, and two retractable swords were in her grasp. She raised her hands slightly, her movements slow yet full of charm.
She extended the sword and began to wield it in the open space.
"Whoosh-"
The twin swords sliced through the raindrops, and the long, black and red dress splashed the wet water in all directions.
Her swordsmanship was not gentle; it lacked the free and unrestrained style of traditional martial arts, and even the graceful movement of the sword following the rider in martial arts routines.
But her swordsmanship was not fierce; the force was steady, and the rotation of her wrist was like some kind of precise machine suddenly stopping midway through its exertion, making her actions unpredictable, just like her personality.
She can be gentle and vulnerable, holding a pot of wine, cradling your head and sobbing, the faint fragrance filling your mind, then lowering her head for a kiss.
She can be fierce and tough, wielding two swords with a ruthless air, every movement of her dress like a knife cutting into the body of evil spirits.
When to be gentle and when to be firm is unpredictable.
The rain became the hem of her skirt, and the two swords gleamed in the darkness.
"Crash..."
One by one, talismans flew out from the gaps in her skirt, which horrified the exorcists and made them even more amazed by the woman's madness.
What kind of insecure person would stuff every single piece of clothing they own with hidden pockets?
Golden talismans flew in, like plates of iron armor, shattering the rainwater that tried to wet him, and then suddenly stuck to Lu Zizhen's body.
She, dressed in black and red, once again donned a golden yellow dress.
The talisman paper no longer shone; instead, the cinnabar ink marks on its surface glowed with a scarlet light.
Then, she stopped her sword dance, pointing one sword forward and the other towards the sky.
Her thick, wet black hair clung to her face, making her already thin face look even more pitiful, but the fierce glint in her eyes concealed a ferocious beast about to pounce and bite off its enemy's throat.
"I summon heavenly thunder—"
She suddenly started singing a folk song, which none of the exorcists present could understand.
"Purify and cleanse evil spirits—"
The dark clouds overhead trembled, ready to pounce.
The scene before her eyes made Lu Zizhen's heart pound.
This is highly unusual. Usually, when she performs such lightning magic, it's just a silent, hair-thin bolt of lightning descending from dark clouds. But now?
The scene before me now is just like a scene from a movie, where Taoist priests fly around and all the strange phenomena in the world obey their commands.
This made Lu Zizhen wonder: if the world is slowly becoming more active, and resentment and spiritual energy are gradually boiling, what will the future be like?
The shikigami from mythology have materialized, the monsters from stories have become real, exorcists are able to wield even greater power, and evil spirits and vengeful spirits have become even more terrifying.
No, now is not the time to think about those things.
Let's finish things here quickly.
She chuckled softly and continued singing.
"I transform into a demon—!"
The dark clouds began to stir, and surging lightning began to flash within the heavy black clouds, causing the entire sky to rumble.
This oppressive feeling reminded Lu Zizhen of when Dou Tang was angry.
It's strange, why do I always think of him no matter what I see?
"Destroying the burial site to cleanse the turbid..."
Just then, several exorcists dressed in black raincoats fled in disarray from the woods.
"Siren Head... Siren Head is here!"
Chapter 115 Four People, Three Points, Two Evil Spirits
As the group fled, the forest behind them began to tremble.
The damp, cold rain made the tan body wet and smooth, but its desiccated appearance was even more disgusting.
"Woo——"
An eerie alarm sounded, pounding in everyone's eardrums and chest.
Water was dripping from the two police sirens.
The distance is... about forty meters.
We can't let him get any closer, or people will die.
Lu Zizhen flicked his sword, stirring the sky.
"Heavenly thunder is me, demons and evil are me, purity and impurity are all me."
"The mundane world is full of ice, but I am the blazing fire, riding the rain and wind, stirring up a thunder."
