Chapter Ninety-Three: Himiko's Treasure
"Oops!"
It was only then that Himiko realized that behind this wall of the underground palace was the bottom of the pond of the Kyoto Imperial Palace's "Imperial Pond Garden"! Now that the golden pillar of light had burned through the wall, the water from the pond had naturally been brought in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And when these pool waters encountered golden pillars of light that could create extremely high temperatures, they naturally turned into a large amount of water vapor in a very short period of time, and so much water vapor burst out at once, and soon enveloped the area near Qin Zhongyu.
As a result, under the cover of water vapor, the surroundings also became blurred, and it was almost impossible to see each other's figures clearly at a distance of less than two meters.
Since he couldn't see the target, of course it was impossible for Himiko at this time to launch an attack on Qin Zhongyu. On the contrary, he had to constantly be vigilant around, worried that Qin Zhongyu would suddenly appear from some unexpected place to attack him.
"Where, where did the boy go?" Himiko looked around nervously as he prepared to evacuate to a safer place, at least the best choice was to stay away from this white water vapor, and then he could wait for the water vapor to dissipate before continuing to attack Qin Zhongyu.
However, although Qin Zhongyu temporarily hid his whereabouts with the help of water vapor, his own situation was not very comfortable.
Because the temperature of the golden light pillar was extremely high, the temperature of the evaporated water vapor was also quite high, and Qin Zhongyu happened to be near the steam explosion point, and he was also the first to come into contact with the high-temperature steam. Even if that temperature was not as direct as being directly irradiated by the golden pillar of light, it was enough to burn Qin Zhongyu's skin.
Therefore, Qin Zhongyu soon felt that his skin was burned to redness and swelling under the high temperature steam, as if he was in a steamer, and with a slight pinch, the outer skin fell off, which was extremely painful. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the skin to recover again, so Qin Zhongyu persevered.
And for such pain, Qin Zhongyu can only endure it silently, because Qin Zhongyu can't make a sound at will, because once he makes too much noise, then it is very likely that the other party will be difficult to judge his position based on the sound.
Qin Zhongyu tried not to make a sound as much as possible, while moving quickly with his waist bent, looking for traces of Himiko in the steam.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Qin Zhongyu to see a vague figure in front of him, judging from the height and shape of the figure, Qin Zhongyu judged that this should be Himiko.
Now that the goal has been determined, Qin Zhongyu of course rushed forward decisively, the whole person suddenly rushed out of the steam, and his eyes lit up, and sure enough, that person was Himiko who was about to retreat, and the direction of Himiko's eyes was on the other side, and he didn't notice Qin Zhongyu's appearance at all at first.
It wasn't until he was startled by Qin Zhongyu's sudden acceleration of his feet on the ground that Himiko noticed that Qin Zhongyu had approached him.
Qin Zhongyu's sudden appearance was naturally caught off guard by Himihu, and before the golden pillar of light in the circle could be re-transferred, the two daggers in Qin Zhongyu's hands had already stabbed towards Himihu.
The two daggers, like the two fangs of a beast, were not only ferocious, but also precise, aimed at the deadliest parts of Himiko's body.
Among them, the fish intestine sword is aimed at Himiko's chest, trying to pierce the heart with a sword and not give the other party a chance to breathe, while Mrs. Xu's dagger is the opponent's throat, and because of the poison, Qin Zhongyu believes that even a little cut through Himiko's skin can also kill her.
"Bah!Bah!"
However, two crisp sounds in succession made Qin Zhongyu's attack completely useless.
Qin Zhongyu's attack did not touch Himiko's body, just in front of Himiko's body as if it was blocked by something, as soon as the two daggers touched, Qin Zhongyu saw golden flash ripples blooming on the blade of the sword, and then the golden ripples completely bounced the two daggers away.
And what made Qin Zhongyu even more shocked was that the power generated by the rebound also made Qin Zhongyu's body take half a step back, but on the other hand, Na Miko stood still in place.
It wasn't until this time that Qin Zhongyu noticed that he didn't know when, a golden circular barrier appeared in front of Himiko!
"What kind of treasure is this? Even Mrs. Xu's dagger and fish intestine sword can't penetrate?"
This time it was also beyond Qin Zhongyu's expectations, after all, Mrs. Xu's dagger and fish intestine sword were both quite powerful treasures, and the other party could defend them, so at least they needed to be treasures of the same level to be possible.
"The Eight Mirrors of the concubine's body are not the ones that ordinary weapons can penetrate......" Seeing that Qin Zhongyu's attack was blocked by himself, Himiko also said proudly.
"Eight mirrors, are you talking about the so-called three artifacts? Shouldn't that thing be enshrined in the shrine?" At this time, Qin Zhongyu was already shocked.
After all, if you want to talk about the name of these eight mirrors, many people should have heard of them, and Qin Zhongyu is naturally no exception.
According to Qin Zhongyu's knowledge, these eight mirrors belong to one of the three artifacts in Japanese legends, and the other two are the equally famous "Kusanagi Sword" and "Yasaka Qiongquyu".
can be called one of the three artifacts, it can be seen that this eight-sword mirror is indeed a rare treasure, and it is no wonder that it can defend against the attacks of Mrs. Xu's dagger and fish intestine sword. It's just that Qin Zhongyu didn't expect that this Yachi Mirror would be in Himiko's hands, because according to records, the Yaga Mirror should be enshrined in the oldest shrine in Japan: Ise Jingu, and it was closely guarded.
"That's all fake, the three artifacts have always been in the hands of the concubine!" Seeing Qin Zhongyu's surprised look, Himiko also said with a smile.
"The three artifacts are all there...... Well, why do I say the word 'again'?"
After all, one artifact was already beyond Qin Zhongyu's ability to deal with it, and the other party actually had three such artifacts! Qin Zhongyu felt that he couldn't even think of it.
At this time, probably because he had already sacrificed the Eight Mirrors, Himiko no longer concealed them, and took out a second treasure while using the Eight Mirrors to defend against Qin Zhongyu's attacks!
It was a somewhat quaint short sword, and it was not gorgeous, and it didn't look special, but Qin Zhongyu knew that this sword should be the other one of the three artifacts, the Kusanagi Sword.
This "Kusanagi Sword", also known as the "Heavenly Cloud Sword", is said to have been taken out of the tail of the Chinese mythological Yachi Snake, which is not only extremely sharp but also has a certain spirituality, and can feel the will of the owner. In comparison, even the famous sword in the hands of the sword hero Miyamoto Musashi is nothing.
"I'm afraid that the only one who can suppress this sword is the ancestral dragon sword in Ying Zheng's hand......" Qin Zhongyu thought.
Sure enough, as soon as this sword came out, it automatically broke away from Himiko's hand, and then stabbed towards Qin Zhongyu! If Qin Zhongyu hadn't reacted in time and quickly dodged sideways, I am afraid that he would have been pierced through his body by this sword.
