The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1122: You really are an old general on the stage!

The Uesugi Family has fallen.

It could even be said to have decayed.

This point is beyond doubt.

According to the information collected, the Uesugi Family has long become an ordinary family. Despite having a fairly decent winery as its support industry, in the ’Inside World,’ there have long been no rumors about the Uesugi Family.

It’s the kind that has completely disappeared, gone without a trace.

Even yōkai that have lived for over a hundred years do not know of this so-called ’Uesugi’ family.

If it weren’t for the fact that their Leader was also of no ordinary origin, it would be impossible to know that the Uesugi Family once had such a glorious time during the Warring States period.

But there was one thing they got wrong.

The Uesugi Family was indeed in decline.

But it wasn’t completely deprived of ’legacy.’

Perhaps over the long years, the ’legacy’ of the Uesugi Family had already been reduced to one-tenth of what it once was, already fragmented and broken.

But, some legacies were still passed down.

Uesugi, Hu Qiandai is the best example.

The former should have combined the secret technique with gunpowder weapons, otherwise, how could the Marksmanship be so exaggerated?

Moreover, the secret techniques that combined gunpowder weapons have existed since the end of the Warring States period.

It’s just that it has only become valued in the last 50 years.

And Hu Qiandai?

A secret technique similar to ’Xin’s Eye’?

Thinking this, the half-yōkai took a deep breath.

The next moment

"Even if you have some legacy, you’re still far too lacking!"

"I will show you what real Strength is!"

With such a declaration-like statement, the half-yōkai’s body began to swell.

In a single breath, the half-human half-snake yōkai transformed into a gigantic snake that was 10 meters in length.

It hissed its forked tongue.

Its cold gaze swept across Uesugi, Hu Qiandai, and Hui Lijing.

The three who were being stared at felt a tightness in their hearts.

Hui Lijing, who had just regained a trace of her mobility, pulled Hu Qiandai along and started to retreat step by step.

Uesugi also ran over, shielding his daughter with his body.

However, such ’defense’ was utterly useless against a completely yōkai-transformed half-yōkai.

A lash of the tail.

The ’defense’ of the three was shattered.

Hui Lijing rolled out flying and fainted there.

Uesugi, the one specially taken care of, suffered broken arms and fell far away on the ground, unable to get up at all.

A marksman with broken arms made everything easy to deal with.

Hu Qiandai still stood in the same place.

The half-yōkai’s attack did not reach her.

But the thick tail coiled her up.

Her face smeared with the blood of Hui Lijing and her own father, Hu Qiandai began to struggle fiercely.

But it was useless.

The gap was too great.

"Hahaha, do you see the gap now?"

"Human beings like you are completely vulnerable under my earnestness!"

"Don’t waste your energy!"

The fully yōkai-transformed half-yōkai let out a piercing laugh.

Especially upon seeing Hu Qiandai’s struggling, the laugh grew even louder.

With that laugh, the snake yōkai stood upright, lowered its head, and its massive body’s shadow covered Hu Qiandai.

The shadow as large as a small mountain, brought with it endless pressure, causing the struggling Hu Qiandai to pause.

"It seems you understand!"

"We, born with racial Talent, are destined to stand at the top of the food chain!"

"And you?"

"You’re nothing but our food!"

The snake yōkai sneered viciously.

And as if to intimidate Hu Qiandai, it lowered its head while speaking.

The hissing forked tongue constantly swept by Hu Qiandai.

Goosebumps rose all over Hu Qiandai’s body.

She wanted to struggle.

But the cold breath made her utterly unable to move.

It wasn’t like the previous horror.

It was the true sense of ’Strength.’

The unique Strength of a yōkai.

It was a kind of racial suppression.

Similar to how a mouse feels when it sees a cat.

Hu Qiandai even felt her lungs beginning to go numb, her breathing about to stop.

Indeed...

She was not an opponent at all?

Hu Qiandai thought to herself silently.

Just now, she inadvertently hit what the opponent called the core, and together with the Marksmanship her father displayed, a bit of luck rose in Hu Qiandai’s heart.

Maybe I could do it.

But luck was indeed too fickle.

Just now, Hu Qiandai felt like she was the child of destiny.

Now?

Why had she turned into just a bystander?

After high hopes, there was the most thorough disappointment.

Just a moment of luck, yet still thinking of turning the table?

It’s really naive!

Hu Qiandai couldn’t help but mock herself silently.

But, the thought of struggling did not disappear.

Even at this moment, when she had lost the ability to move and even breathing became difficult, she did not give up struggling.

If only there were a Renowned Blade!

Hu Qiandai thought to herself in her hard struggle.

The snake yōkai saw Hu Qiandai who had not given up and couldn’t help but laugh again.

"That look in your eyes, that expression, isn’t it saying that if you had a blade, you’d be fine?"

"Don’t deny it!"

"I’ve seen too many such looks before!"

"Before they get eaten by me, they all look like this!"

"You’re just as foolish as they are, truly believing that a mere blade can bridge the gap?"

"Even if they were the Renowned Blades collected by the big boss, their strength lies in being held by powerful people!"

The last words of the snake yōkai were almost a roar.

With such roaring, Hu Qiandai’s ears rang with buzzing noises.

Her eyes, too, experienced a brief bewilderment.

And in the distance, Hui Lijing was slowly coming to.

The female detective instinctively tried to get up.

But the pain all over her body made it impossible for her to move.
