Chapter 18: Onito
After the Demon Sword flew away, the Battle of Edo Castle, which could have ended with an end, began a new chapter.
The purpose of the youkai led by the Great Tengu is very clear, to take advantage of the weakness of the wine swallowing boy to understand him, and the youkai led by the Ibaraki boy are also for the purpose of protecting the wine swallowing boy. Two groups of people fought for a big demon lying in the middle.
Ibaraki Boy is also known as the ghost of Rashomon, which shows that his strength is very strong in the demon world, and he is also the most heartfelt subordinate of the drunken boy. Ibaraki has only one hand, and the other hand was cut off by Watanabe, the former general of Laikoku, and the knife that cut off his arm is called "Oni Kiri", and later generations are also called Onitoru. It's a pity that General Watanabe didn't have an heir later, and his wise deeds were buried.
In terms of strength, the Ibaraki boy is on par with the Great Tengu, and both of them are close to the realm of the Great Demon in strength. Moreover, Ibaraki's methods are as good as those of wine swallowing, and after losing an arm, the healthy arm contains stronger demonic power, and it can unleash powerful demonic magic through the arm. Ibaraki first plunged his hand into the ground, and then a huge ghost hand grew into Sakuto's stomach. The ghost hand keeps waving on Sakuto's stomach to stop the youkai from attacking Sakuto.
With the help of his own magic to temporarily relieve the siege of Jiu Swallow, Ibaraki's first purpose was to kill Zhao Yige, who fell from Jiu Tun. Although he didn't know who Zhao Yige was, if the demon knife came back again and fell into his hands again, the wine swallowing boy would be defeated again. At this time, Zhao Yige's fan had just woken up in a daze, because he had left his body, and his soul was not very stable now. Compared to Yanagi Otome who lost consciousness after being drained of his soul, he was already in the best state, at least he could stand up on his own. However, his qi and veins are now disordered, his energy cannot be concentrated, and his hands are weak, and he is now in a very fragile state. If he broke out of the enemy at this time, Zhao Yige would have no chance of winning.
The Ibaraki boy ran in the direction of Zhao Yige, with a look of revenge on his face, and he couldn't wait to eat that offshore life alive immediately. Just as he stepped on his left foot, a feather flew down from the sky and shot like an arrow in his path. Ibaraki looked up and saw the Great Tengu waving his wings, looking down at Ibaraki in the air. That kind of defiant look naturally didn't make an evil ghost like Ibaraki feel comfortable, and he ordered the other youkai to kill Zhao Yige at all costs, while he stayed behind to deal with the Great Tengu.
"How dare you, a water dog, stand in my way?" said Ibaraki, pointing at the Great Tengu.
"I want to say that you're nothing without wine. The Great Tengu replied.
"Hahaha, someone has long said that the Great Tengu is the youkai whose strength is closest to the Great Demon, but in my eyes, it's just that. I've been following the sake swallow for hundreds of years, and except for the time with Susanoo, the wine swallow has never been lost. You are an unpopular character who still wants to become a three-demon demon, or let me tell you that I am the monster who can really become a three-demon monster!"
The fingers of Ibaraki's right hand are very long, and the entire palm of the hand is almost twice the size of an adult. He clawed his hands as if he were holding a ball in the middle. Then, a black ball condensed from his palm, and the black ball contained a strong demonic aura. Being able to concretize demonic qi and form scattered qi into a spherical shape with a regular shape, Ibaraki's strength is really not ordinary, and this move makes the big tengu dare not underestimate the other party. After the traditional youkai have demonic energy, the most basic means is to strengthen their physical strength, and then use it to change their physical appearance, by tempting humans, so as to attack humans. Very few youkai are able to refine and apply their demonic energy in battle, which shows that Ibaraki is also an extremely warlike youkai compared to Sakuto.
Ibaraki held a demon balloon in his hand, which was equivalent to a bomb, and after the demon qi condensed to the highest, Ibaraki firmly grasped the demon balloon in his hand and made a posture of preparing to throw it.
"Obliteration Pill!" Ibaraki threw out the demon balloon in his hand, which looked like a small black ball, and the destructive power contained in it was only known to the Great Tengu.
Trying to use his feathers to repel the thrown demon balloons, the Great Tengu launched the feathers on his wings with all his might, and flew towards the flying demon balloons in a dense manner, just like the magnificence of hundreds of birds perched in the woods after being frightened. With such a dense feather blade, the coefficient hit the demon balloon, but the demon balloon was like a ball of water, or it could see the entity, but it was a void thing, and the feathers that hit it all pierced straight through the demon balloon. The Great Tengu thought that he could trigger the explosion of the demon balloon with his own feathers, but the switch for the explosion of the demon balloon seemed to be pinched in Ibaraki's hand, and the demon energy mixed into the demon balloon and there was no response.
Ibaraki smiled at the corner of his mouth, and finally exploded after the demon balloon approached the big tengu. Although the Great Tengu used Fengyou, strengthened his feathers and used his wings as a shield, the demonic energy of the explosion still entered through the gaps in the wings that were not closed. After the explosion, black smoke appeared in the air, like ink dripping into the water, and in the ink, the big tengu fell from the ashes of the explosion and fell into a house.
"Hmph, I still want to be on a par with Jiu Tun, even I'm not an opponent. After Ibaraki finished speaking, he ran towards Zhao Yige's position.
Zhao Yige's situation is really not good, taking advantage of the monsters around Abe to block him, he has somewhat stabilized his breath in a limited time. When he wanted to take the sword, he realized that the Chiyang Sword he was carrying with him was not on his body. He only remembered that after touching the demon sword, his consciousness was replaced by Po Sa, in fact, Po Sa, before using Zhao Yige's body to come to Edo, he threw the Chiyang Sword he was carrying in the middle of the road. Now that there is no weapon, Zhao Yige, as a swordsman, is like a clever woman who cooks without rice, and he can't show his skills. There is still a sakutsu lying in Edo Castle, and although he was seriously injured by the sake, the recovery ability of the sakutsu is not ordinary. The wounds on his body and hands have healed, and although he still has the strength of blood and wine and has been knocked to the ground from exhaustion, the will of the demon king who swallows wine is constantly awakening him. Jiu Tun also tried to use his hands to prop up the words to get up, although the first hand slip failed, but after a little rest, it will definitely regain its strength, but when the time comes, Abe's group of kind-hearted Shikigami will suffer a catastrophe.
Ibaraki pushed away the monster in front of him and walked all the way in the direction of Zhao Yige.
Gu Shou bird fell from the sky, landed in front of Zhao Yige and said, "People from the outer sea, Lord Abe said to save your lives. I don't like humans, but if you die, we'll be disobeying Abe-sama's orders. You get out of here quickly, there are Yanagi Shibei not far from the outside of the river, you can leave quickly. ”
Zhao Yige, as the general of Yan Guo, is the person who Yan Che predicts to be able to show his strength in the future, and his willingness is naturally not to retreat. However, he didn't have a weapon, and his soul didn't completely return to his place after being occupied by the demon knife Po Sa, so even if his qi veins were normal now, he would definitely not be the opponent of the monster without a weapon. He was about to turn back to look for his Chiyang Sword, but just as he turned around to leave, he suddenly stretched out a ghost hand from the ground and grabbed Zhao Yige's ankle. That ghost hand was done by the Ibaraki boy, he was going to kill Zhao Yige, how could he easily let the other party escape?
Gu Tori went up and fought with the Ibaraki Boy, using one of his own feathers as a sword. The Ibaraki boy is thick and strong, but he is so powerful that only one hand can be used as a weapon. When his feathered sword touched Ibaraki's arm, it felt like it was fighting with a steel rod, making a metallic thumping sound. Although Gu Huoniao is dexterous in swordsmanship, he is still good at surprise attacks, and it is still not good to directly confront people. Ibaraki's realm is much higher than her, and Gu Tori seized the loophole that the opponent's stamina was too strong to find an opportunity to attack Ibaraki with a feather sword, but the degree of hardening of Ibaraki's body exceeded Gu Wo Bird's attack power, that is, the spear could not pierce the shield. Finally, Ibaraki grabbed Gu's chest with his right hand, leaving four paw prints on her chest.
This injury caused Gu to be seriously injured, and he fell to the ground unable to move, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Ibaraki stretched out his right hand to grab the head of the bird, but when his hand was about to touch the bird, the bird suddenly turned into a paper figure, and then slowly floated back into the hands of the big tengu.
Ibaraki angrily turned his face to the Great Tengu and said, "You're not dead yet, are you?"
The Great Tengu put the paper figure back in his clothes and replied, "Your three-legged cat is just tickling me." ”
Ibaraki sneered, thinking that Zhao Yige was controlled by his own ghost hands, and he shouldn't be able to escape, if he killed the Great Tengu first, he would be able to boost the morale of the monsters. He licked the blood of the clawed owl and walked towards the Great Tengu.
Back at the beginning, Ghost Shili was walking towards a hill with the shark and the green wolf. Ghost Shili said before that the entrance to Laiguo and the underworld was sealed, so the soul could not enter the underworld reincarnation, which also caused him to be unable to summon the ghost officials of the underworld and the god of hell war. He wants to take the green wolf and the shark to break the evil spirit, and touch the seal hidden deep underground.
By discerning the direction and detecting the burial, Ghost Shili knew which place led directly to the entrance to the underworld, which is the deepest part of the island of Laiguo. It was a clearing with an abandoned well. The deepest part of the well is the entrance to the underworld.
"No, old man, you said that the well could go underground? You're not kidding me, it's too arbitrary. The green wolf couldn't believe that inconspicuous thing was actually the entrance to the underworld, thinking about it from another angle, all the souls who want to enter the underworld must enter this well, as if a person has died once, and then he committed suicide by throwing himself into the well again, and the dead man will die again, which makes people cry and laugh.
Oni Shili explained: "Hey, didn't you say that the most dangerous place is the safest place? Besides, the soul is a nothing, and the living can't see it, so what does it matter. At that time, I came to Laiguo, just to know that there were very few souls recovered from Laiguo, so when I was observing on Devil Island, I found the reason, built a well here, and opened the entrance to the underworld, but I don't know why it was sealed again. ”
"Old man, I don't like water, and I won't go down this well. ”
"I knew you wouldn't be able to go into the water, so that's why I brought the shark here. ”
"Listen to you, am I superfluous?"
"Not only are you redundant, but I'm also superfluous," Ghost Shili turned to Shark Breaking Evil and said, "Shark Breaking Evil, I'll bother you to go down the well and take a look." The well is 10,000 meters deep and narrow, so if there is danger, it will send us a signal in time. ”
Shark nodded and calmly jumped into the crystal. The green wolf poked his head out of the well and muttered, "It's better to be a fish, you won't drown if you swim." ”
The green wolf and the ghost Shili observed on the crystal, and in case anything happened to the shark breaking the evil, they were ready to support at any time. I thought it would be calm at first, but I didn't expect that not long after the shark broke the evil spirit, bubbles began to appear on the calm crystal water, which must be the shark breaking evil found underneath. Slowly, the head of the shark demon appeared on the surface of the water, and I didn't expect him to float up so quickly.
"Old shark, you are so powerful, you can swim at a distance of 10,000 meters?" said the green wolf.
"I didn't swim to the end, but I found something halfway down the road, and I'm going to bring it up to show you. ”
"What is it?" asked Oni Shiri.
Shark Breaker took out what he found from underwater, which was a knife. This one has been soaked in water for many years and has not rusted, and the sharp aura from the blade can still be seen in the dark well. If it was an ordinary Tai Dao, Shark Po Evil would naturally not pick it up, but when Shark Po Xie took the Qi Tai Knife, he knew that the knife was different. Shark Po Evil held up the knife and showed it to the ghost Shili and the green wolf on the well, the green wolf naturally couldn't see why, but the ghost Shili knew the origin of the knife. Ghost Shili touched his beard and said: "There are five supreme famous knives in Laiguo, all of which are divine soldiers who have killed the great demon, and it is one of them that you are holding in your hand, called Ghost Che." ”
