Chapter 344: Ishikawa Goemon
Chapter 344 Ishikawa Goemon
The weather in the vicinity of Cheongju Fortress is very strange, not only is it sunny and rainy, but even the four seasons are not clearly distinguished, and it is often cold and biting in the morning, and it turns into a scorching sky in the afternoon.
However, Cheongju Fortress is also an extremely important trade route, which can connect the east and west, and run through the north and south. Therefore, even if the weather here is extremely inconvenient for business travelers, it is still full of people and cars.
Behind three sets of carts, there is a man and a rider. This knight, who was not yet in his twenties, was slender and wore a silver sè riding suit made of extremely precious satin, with a large oil silk cloak of the same sè on the outside, which could not only keep out the rain, but also keep warm. The young man looks like a talent, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, although he exudes three points of heroism, but the momentum is not compelling, but gives people a good impression of kindness and frankness, heartiness and generosity.
There is no doubt that he is Liu Yu. At this time, it had been three days since Liu Yu made a big fuss at the samurai mansion, and in the past three days, he had been staying in the deep mountains near Cheongju City, recovering his physical strength while adapting to his current soaring strength.
Yes, after some hardships and battles in the samurai mansion, Liu Yu has now been officially promoted to the god cultivation stage, and he has also skipped the god level and directly reached the god level.
Just as the Gang Qi level has a "Gang Qi Hood", the Nian Shen level also has its own standing skill, Nian Kinetic Power. Similar to the setting in a popular anime, there are also many classifications of the god-level "Nian Power", some of which can be applied directly to objects, and some can only be applied to the mind.
I don't know if it's because of his own qualifications, or because the promotion location is in the Illusory World Realm, Liu Yu's mental power is a very rare psychic type among new martial artists, and he can directly use his hands and feet on the central nervous system of the recipient, causing him to hallucinate. However, the reality and time of this fantasy depend on the gap in the divine power between Liu Yu himself and the recipient.
In other words, the stronger Liu Yu's divine power is than that of the recipient, the more "real" the illusion that the recipient "sees", and the longer the illusion exists!
It took Liu Yu three days to initially master the use of the telekinesis power, and he was very satisfied with the function of the telekinesis, and he couldn't wait to get out of the illusory world and show off in front of Zhong Xiaoman and them.
Although Liu Yu's current strength on his body cannot be replicated on his body in the real world when he breaks away from the Illusory World Realm, his jīng divine power can be completely "detached". In other words, after returning to the realm of the real world, although Liu Yu's internal force cultivation is still only at the Gang Qi level, he has already mastered the general skill "Nian Power" that only a new martial artist at the Nian God level can master!
In that case, it was a bit like a god-level new martial artist who had consumed a lot of internal strength and true qi - although his strength had dropped to the Gang qi level, his mental power still existed.
As long as there are enough natural treasures, Liu Yu can be promoted from the Gang Qi level to the Nian God level in a very short period of time. With such a gain, Liu Yu felt that everything he had encountered was worth it.
However, he didn't intend to thank Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Yamanaka Kanosuke, he still wanted to retaliate if he was careful, no, just after mastering the power of the mind, he couldn't wait to go out of the mountain and prepare to start a killing operation to retaliate again!
There are still thirty miles to reach Qingzhou City, and the road is still far away, Liu Yu is not in a hurry at this time, let the robbed horses roam.
The street trees on both sides of the official road are thick and simple, either elm or acacia, and the branches and leaves have become more and more dense. Looking out further, there is an endless stretch of sorghum land, with no mountains or water in sight, and no scenery to enjoy.
This illusory world is an absolute chaotic world, except for the "castles" of the daimyo in various places, the security in other places is not very good, and the accidents of single merchants being robbed and killed happen every day, so it is absolutely legal to walk with a sword, and the daimyo everywhere will not care.
When snatching the horses, Liu Yu also grabbed a piece of goods carried by a merchant traveler, which was an antique of weapons, which was said to be an antiquity hundreds of years ago, called a "Tang style broadsword".
The Tang style broadsword is different from the Dongying knife, it is more like the Chinese Pu knife, and it is the heaviest Yanling knife among the Pu knives. The Yanling knife is a kind of heavy blade, and people with insufficient arm strength will have red ears and red ears when they swing it twice, and if it is used to cut the human body, it will definitely destroy the withering and decaying.
Although there is a gap between the style of the Yanling knife and the bloody night knife, in the case that the bloody night knife does not follow, the heavy-duty one-handed knife of the Yanling knife is the best tool to perform the "Canglang Knife Method".
Liu Yu had already suffered a loss in the siege, so he naturally didn't want to face hundreds of Dongying warriors with his bare hands. When he falls into the siege again in the future, he must let those Dongying warriors taste the taste of the "Canglang Sword Technique"!
Just as Liu Yu was thinking about how to strike at the samurai mansion again, something happened. In the direction of Cheongju City, five running figures appeared inside and outside, one in front and four behind. At this glance, you can see that the road is a chase, and four chase and kill one.
Seeing the scene of the chase, Liu Yu slowed down his mount, as for the other "natives", not many people paid attention to it, these days, it is normal to fight and kill, and they don't bother to care at all.
The speed was fast, and the five figures were getting closer and closer. The distance between the two sides here is getting closer and closer, and the four people chasing are all masters with katanas, and judging by their strength, I'm afraid they are not under the Lansen Maru. And although the personal strength of the fleeing person should not be inferior to that of Yamanaka Kanosuke, he was empty-handed, and there were four opponents, so there was only one way to escape.
Besides, this place is under Kiyoshu Castle, and if the runaways turn around and kill the enemy, they are likely to be trapped, after all, three of the four pursuers are dressed like the Toei samurai under Oda Nobunaga. Even if he wasn't a direct samurai of Oda Nobunaga, he was his subordinate.
Liu Yu immediately stood in the way, ready to ask what was going on, if as he guessed, the fugitive was an enemy on Oda Nobunaga's side, he didn't mind helping a hand and adding some chaos to Oda Nobunaga's side.
However, Liu Yu hadn't spoken yet, and when the escapee saw someone in front of him, he thought that someone had intercepted the road, and at this time, he was close to the sorghum land. He scurried to the side of the road, but he didn't know if he was too panicked, or if he was injured, he actually stumbled, couldn't stand, and pounced on the front.
The Dongying samurai, who was chasing fast, crossed out diagonally at this time, and the person was in the air, drawing his sword, pounced, and swung his sword in one go. The man who fell rolled on his side, but the knife was too fast, his reaction was half a beat slower, and he dodged the beheading knife, but his shoulder and back could not completely dodge, his clothes were open, and blood splashed.
The pursuing Dongying samurai, as if intent on killing this man, slashed out with the first sword, not waiting for the old move, and then the second sword slashed at the fleeing man who rolled out a few meters away with a volley slash.
Seeing that the man would definitely not be able to avoid this catastrophe with a knife in his waist, the silver shadow flashed, Liu Yu arrived, and the Yanling knife was picked out like lightning with a sheath.
"Zheng!" The blade deflected, and the terrible knife collapsed and fell outward in time. The pursuing Dongying warrior was shocked back by one meter, his feet staggered and almost fell, it was obvious that Liu Yu used the countershock force on this move.
Although the second pursuer arrived, he did not rush to pounce, but raised his knife and said in a deep voice: "Who dares to meddle in things? ”
As he spoke, the third and fourth pursuers also arrived, and the two of them and three katanas blocked Liu Yu and the fleeing man in the middle, blocking the retreat on both sides. The fugitive was not dead, he was struggling in the dry mud, moaning, getting up, and falling again, it turned out that he was really running for his life with his wounds.
Liu Yu glanced coldly at the four pursuers, the one who made the knife before was a big man with a face like purple blood and a beard on his face, the one who held the knife and scolded was a thin and dry middle-aged monk with a pair of eyes that could sink into the fish, and the two Dongying warriors who blocked the retreat were all the same deep-eyed and thick eyebrows, and their appearance knew that they were two siblings.
Looking at the fugitive on the ground again, people like Liu Yu, who are used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but be stunned when they suddenly saw it. This brother is big enough, but his face ...... Can it still be said to be a face?
The whole face was full of tired scars, some of which were black, some were red, some were purple-brown, some were dark and blue, and all the scars were dead flesh. Overlapping and sticking, at a glance, the person was left with only a black hole representing the mouth.
Moreover, his ears, his nose, and any other part of his face that could represent the name were all covered with rotten scars. I can't see what he will look like, let alone his expression and god. Because those scars have taken up all these areas that can express inner reactions.
Liu Yu frowned slightly, not frightened, but felt a little familiar.
When Rì Lansen Maru and Yamanaka Shikanosuke torture Liu Yu, one of the torture instruments inflicted injuries similar to those on the face of the fleeers. If Liu Yu doesn't have super regenerative power, I'm afraid his current appearance is even worse than this escapee, right?!
Under the inexplicable pity born of sympathy for the same disease, Liu Yu opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The fugitive sat on the ground, tried to straighten his waist, glanced at Liu Yu, and replied with a slight gasp: "Ishikawa Goemon." ”
Ishikawa Goemon?! This is the most famous thief in the Unreal World!
Liu Yu had heard of this name, and when he snatched horses and ancient knives, the merchant took Liu Yu for the great thief Ishikawa Goemon. Although he realized that he had saved a famous robber, Liu Yu did not regret it, because although Ishikawa Goemon had a bad reputation, in fact, this person did not have any real bad deeds. His reputation was bad because he was specifically against Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
"Bastard, who are you?! How dare you obstruct us from pursuing the great thief Ishikawa Goemon?! We are the samurai directly under His Royal Highness Toyotomi Hideyoshi......" The monk with the sword asked in a deep voice, reporting his origins, probably seeing that Liu Yu was not an ordinary master, and he didn't want to make a mistake when he was about to finish.
Hearing that these four people were the samurai directly under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile, and said secretly in his heart: "It's really a coincidence, as soon as I got out of the mountain, I bumped into the subordinates of the main master who was ready to retaliate." ”
Liu Yu withdrew his gaze from Ishikawa Goemon, looked at the monk again, and said lightly: "Who am I, you don't know what to say about it." Liu Yu was reluctant to reveal his whereabouts and let the samurai mansion in Qingzhou City be on guard, so he said in a deep voice: "With the strength you have shown, it is not enough to chase Ishikawa Goemon to escape!" You must be taking advantage of people's danger, and I don't like this ...... the most."
The monk sneered and looked at Liu Yu, without the calm demeanor of a monk, and said fiercely: "Hehe, you kid is not timid. Zhilu said, we are the direct samurai of His Royal Highness Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and you dare to speak like this, you should not be a nameless junior, who are you? ”
Showing Bai Sensen's teeth and smiling, Liu Yu said, "Do you bald donkey like to scold people?" I hope you have the ability to scold people without being afraid of being beaten......"
His eyes glared angrily, and the monk roared, "Boy, you dare to scold me Maeda Xuanyi? Do you know the way, I am the abbot of Komatsubara-ji Temple, and I once entered the Enryakuji Temple of Mt. Hiei to practice, and you not only respected and admired me, but also so rude, you are really blind to your dog's eyes! ”
Although Liu Yu of Komatsubara-ji Temple did not know about the Dao, he had heard of Enryakuji Temple in Mt. Hiei, and he had heard about it in the real world. It is said that the status of Mt. Hiei Enryakuji in the Dongying cultivation world is equivalent to that of Songshan Shaolin Temple in the Chinese cultivation circle, and it can be regarded as a holy place for martial arts.
Liu Yu really didn't expect that in this illusory world, in addition to the projections of historical celebrities such as Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, there were also projections of the great power of the cultivation world such as Mt. Hiei Enryakuji Temple!
Shaking his head, Liu Yu put aside this question for the time being, let out a "hey" in his mouth, and said to the monk who called himself "Maeda Xuanyi" in a strange voice: "My eyes are really sharp, and I can see through you at once, a dog bastard, and you really like to scold, but I have seen a lot of goods like you." A mongrel like you, who blushes at every turn and has a thick mouth full of farts, not only has a father, but also must be the kind of ninth-rate dog who specializes in bullying good and fearing evil, so it is very easy to deal with a dog mongrel like you, and you will run away or be disabled, and you promise that you will never dare to curse indiscriminately for the rest of your life. ”
Cai Zhitao once taught Liu Yu that he had a "poisonous tongue" before facing the enemy, which helped the cultivation of the state of mind. But Liu Yu has always been a little skeptical about his identity as a disciple of the family, even if he occasionally launches verbal attacks, but most of them are not considered "ruthless", today Liu Yu is considered to have let go of his arms, anyway, in this illusory world, it is impossible for anyone to say that he has the demeanor of a disciple of the family!
Liu Yu's understatement was like a poisonous arrow, one by one all into Maeda Xuanyi's heart, so angry that he almost exploded his lungs.
Maeda Genyi was full of steel teeth, and said resentfully: "Bastard, you dare to scold me like this, and you dare to openly oppose His Royal Highness Toyotomi Hideyoshi, very good, I don't break the bones of your bastard today, I won't call Maeda Xuanyi!" ”
Liu Yu smiled indifferently and said unceremoniously, "Dog mongrel, you are really hopelessly cheap!" Do you want to change your name, or do you really want me to cripple you? ”
Roaring halfway, Maeda Genyi was so angry that his eyes almost fell out of his sockets, his shape was like a hungry wolf, and there was a trembling majestic aura, as if he could eat the other party's bones. He pressed towards Liu Yu step by step, and said fiercely: "Bastard, I don't care if I call your father and mother no one will send you to the end......"
Before he finished speaking, a silver shadow flashed in front of him. The four slaps of "Papapapa" made Maeda Genyi's mouth full of steel teeth fall off, the gums cracked, and blood gushed wildly. Maeda Xuanyi didn't have a chance to knife at all, Liu Yu didn't do anything, flew up with a leg, kicked him in the lower abdomen, kicked Maeda Xuanyi flew three or four meters high on his back, and fell heavily to five or six meters away.
"I forgot to tell you that I don't just like to swear, but I also like to kill." Liu Yu grabbed a foot and stepped on Maeda Xuanyi's neck like a ghost, and said fiercely: "You have made me angry, and I have a very bad habit, when I am angry, I will kill people, so it is your father and mother who are short of people to send ......."
Behind him, two eagle-like warriors pounced on them like wolves, in a deep voice. Three katana swords attacked at the same time, the sword light was like electricity, fast, ruthless, and accurate, and it was one of the three flavors of killing.
How Liu Yu's knife came out of the sheath, even the purple-faced Dongying warrior who was watching and didn't move his hand didn't see clearly, anyway, he saw that the knife flashed, like an arc of light composed of thousands of blades, flicking, waving, splitting, and that's it.
"Click!" The goose feather knife is back in its sheath. His left foot was still on Maeda's neck, but Maeda's head was weakly tilted to one side, probably his neck bone was crushed.
"Hmm......" made the two-knife Dongying samurai shout, rushed out two steps, and the left and right ribs were cut open two feet long, and the internal organs were squeezed from the inside out, blood sprayed wildly, of course he couldn't live. The Dongying samurai who made a single sword was even more silent, because his head was gone, how could he make a sound? The headless corpse spewed blood like a pillar, rushed out four steps, and Fang fell hard.
The purple-faced Dongying warrior had escaped more than ten meters away like a madman at this time, this guy was very smart, the three companions died as soon as they saw him, wouldn't it be too stupid to run for his life without seeing a chance? The purple-faced Toei samurai is still making excuses for himself: I definitely didn't go against the god of bushido, I was just afraid that after the jade shattered, no one would report this matter to His Royal Highness Toyotomi Hideyoshi......
The purple-faced Dongying warrior fled desperately, all the jīng power in his body was used, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed out of seventeen or eighteen meters, and his speed at the moment had already broken through the barrier of his life's light escape. It's just a pity that all his efforts are useless.
Liu Yu, who laid the foundation with the "Taiyi Dazzling Pile Method", can be regarded as a speed-type new martial artist in his own right, and the speed of the purple-faced Dongying warrior is really not enough in front of him. However, Liu Yu didn't rely on speed to bully people, he used his newfound ability - Nian Power!
Under the influence of Liu Yu's power, the purple-faced warrior fell into an illusion unconsciously, and there was a huge deviation in his sense of direction, he thought he was running straight, but in fact, he was running to Liu Yu's side automatically after a big bend, and even very consciously used his neck to have intimate contact with the blade of the Yanling knife held by Liu Yuping!
