Chapter Seventy-Nine: The True Purpose
Between the two Rashomons, there is a battlefield in full swing.
Under Uesugi Kiyoshi's sword, there was a misty mirage that stubbornly wanted to break through his sword encirclement.
He himself can manipulate the mirage in the Hundred Ghost Scroll, but he can't do it by driving the mirage to turn into a real enemy.
Although he didn't know what the effect of this mirage was, Uesugi Kiyoshi also had a vague guess in his heart.
The purpose of the two ghost kings of Dajiangshan to launch a surprise attack must be Dongwen Maki, they want the demon soul of Demon Dao Ji.
Whether it was a sacrifice, or a sacrifice, or a descent... It makes no difference.
Then, it must not be easy to achieve the enemy's goal.
The three-foot sword is indestructible, and the mirage rushes left and right, but it can only be repelled by the precise sword light, and the distance between it and Dongwen Zhenxi is only a few meters, but it seems to be close to the end of the world, out of reach.
On the other hand, the situation of the Ibaraki boy is not good.
He broke through the boundary in advance from the dream mirror of Dajiangshan and secretly took the body of a maid of the Dongwen Society, and has been hiding here for a long time.
In order to be the back hand of the ghost king Jiu Swallow, it has become a crucial chess piece that can lay the foundation for the victory of the chess game.
Unfortunately, just a little bit.
The results were very different.
Dongwen Maki is not stupid, although her state is a little wrong, but the basic judgment ability is still there, she can clearly distinguish that these enemies who suddenly appear and are terrifying are coming at herself.
So, she quickly pulled back, holding her sword on guard, trying not to become a burden to Uesugi Kiyoshi.
This virtually bankrupted the plans of the Ibaraki Boy and the Wine Swallowing Boy.
The two collectors of the Collectibles Guild stood in front of them, and neither of them was an enemy that could be easily eliminated.
Let alone... The Ibaraki boy is just a woman's body, and the drunken swallowing boy is a mirage manipulated by divine thoughts.
There may be some chances of winning if you suddenly attack, but you will definitely lose if you face it head-on.
"Hey, Ibaraki, leave that little imp alone, backup plan!"
The ethereal male voice sounded in everyone's hearts in the audience, like the evening drum and morning bell of the temple, shocking the soul.
When the Ibaraki boy who was fighting with Akutagawa Ryunosuke heard this, he nodded hatefully, gave up the enemy in his hand, and was a little unwilling to grit his teeth and quickly retreat, smashing through the courtyard wall behind him.
The dignified ghost king Ibaraki, when has he been ridiculed with such a pointed nose, this Akutagawa Ryunosuke he remembers, and when the great rivers and mountains reappear in the world, the first to kill him and sacrifice the flag!
The knocked down wall was scattered, and beyond the courtyard wall, there was another battlefield.
Rin Kamiizumi and Honda Tadakatsu are in full swing, as the linker of Honda Tadakatsu, Rin Kamiizumi's opponent's strength is really average, but relying on the sharpness of the weapon, and at the same time, the actor has the advantage of being more perfect than the inheritor's inheritance, and he has not shown defeat for the time being.
At this moment, a piece of armor with sufficient armor appeared in front of him to help him defend against Rin's powerful slash from Kamiizum, and at the same time, Dragonfly did not hesitate to make a constant exchange with Rin's Nota knife of Kamiizum, leaving many cracks and gaps on it.
Behind him, a Buddha statue faintly emerged - a monk's robe, beardless and hairless, carrying a bow and arrows, and a long knife at the waist, not so much like a Buddha, but like a martial god.
After only a few minutes of fighting Rin Kamiizumi, the linker had already exhausted his means.
The "Immortal Armor" used for defense and the "Hachiman Warrior God", the source of power for Honda's Tadashi Heroic Soul, are both powers obtained by playing as a heroic soul.
During the Warring States period, Honda Tadashi Katsu was commonly known as "Heihachiro", and was once regarded as the embodiment of Hachiman Bodhisattva because of his bravery in battle.
Hachiman Bodhisattva has been widely believed as a god of bows and arrows since ancient times, and has been worshiped as a martial god since the Kamakura period, and shrines are spread all over the country, and Honda Tadakatsu has received some of the power of Hachiman Bodhisattva.
It was this strength that sustained him from defeat - he also muttered in his heart, and there was some indescribable frustration.
Why is he, the number one combat force of Toshogu Palace... To be pressed and beaten by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl?
Before he could come up with a reason, he suddenly heard a strong wind blowing behind him.
There is a strong enemy in front of him, where does he have the energy to take care of the behind?
The Ibaraki boy broke through the wall, and the fireworks of hell in his hand burned fiercely, easily burning the phantom of the unsuspecting Hachiman Great Bodhisattva, and then grabbed the back of Honda's neck, and twisted his hand slightly.
Click.
It was the crisp sound of a broken neck bone.
Pity this Honda loyal linker, before he had time to share the victory or defeat with the famous Kamiizumi Nobutsuna linker Rin Ueizumi, he was attacked from behind by the ghost of Rashomon, and he died.
The Ibaraki boy pinched Honda Tadakatsu's body, which was still twitching slightly, his face was happy, and he didn't think about it with all his strength, and threw the newly dead corpse to the white jade statue.
A thought flashed in Kiyoshi Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart, who had swept all this with his peripheral vision, and immediately understood what this so-called backup plan was!
The soul of the transcendent is much stronger than that of mortals, and the transcendent who has just died is enough to become a sacrifice for the ghosts and gods to be reborn.
In the same way, as a body that walks in the world of ghosts and gods, the stronger the extraordinary ability, the stronger the strength of the ghosts and gods.
At present, the transcendent body that Ibaraki Boy just threw over, although it is not a top powerhouse, it is also a high-quality body that is extremely difficult to encounter, compared to the materials prepared by Dong Wenyu, the Wine Swallowing Boy is more inclined to prepare by himself.
Pretending to agree to Dongwenyu's request to join forces to deal with Uesugi Kiyoshi and his party is actually just delaying time, delaying until Dongwen Maki comes to this small courtyard, and then the Ibaraki boy, who has been lurking here for a long time, will take the demon soul of the demon sword hime, or the body of Dongwen Maki.
The former is enough for the Wine Swallowing Boy to break through the spatial barrier and come here for a short time, while the latter can minimize the loss of strength of the Wine Swallowing Boy.
And the presence of a ghost king who has been famous for hundreds of years is probably at least a disaster alarm at the national level.
The great ghost king who was dominating in the Heian period and stirring up the world once hit the gate of Kyoto and almost dominated the entire Kyoto, how can he really be a brainless reckless man?
Even if they fail, they still have planB, and Honda Tadakatsu, who was sent by Dong Wenyu to guard the door, has long been targeted by these two ghost kings, and this body is used as a spare tire.
As for Dong Wenyu's thoughts, they are not in the scope of their consideration.
Even if the effect is not as good as that of Dongwen Maki, it is definitely stronger than using the materials provided by Dongwenyu - the wine swallowing boy has never believed in Dong Wenyu, just as Dong Wenyu has never believed in the wine swallowing boy.
The fragile alliance between them is entirely based on the same enemy, and when this common goal is gone, it is inevitable that they will turn against each other.
Like now.
All this happened so fast that in the blink of an eye, the mist also became excited, moving with the wind, splitting into several catkins-like clouds, and swarming towards the body of Honda Tadakatsu.
Uesugi Kiyoshi only has one sword, and that mirage is unceremoniously divided into eight, going hand in hand, so Uesugi Kiyoshi can only deal with it in a hurry.
At this moment, in the backyard, a soft groan sounded, and the girl in white rushed to the sacrificial room with just the right step.
The timing of her appearance is just right, and if you delay it a little longer, maybe Uesugi Kiyoshi will miss this strange mirage, let it multiply and regenerate, and take rebirth.
The person who came walked around the backyard leisurely, seized the arsenal, and by the way, defeated all the members of the Dongwen group to Li Fuyao, who was in custody.
She witnessed the scene of the mirage shroud condensed in the air towards the flying body, pinched a mark in her hand, smiled slightly, and the green light flashed.
"The light burns the soul!"
The phosphorescent ghost fire seemed to be born out of thin air, blooming with a blue-purple brilliance, colliding with the mirage manipulated by the drunken swallowing boy, and burning violently.
At the same time, Uesugi Qing cooperated with Li Fuyao's actions very tacitly, he quickly turned around and flashed his sword, facing the corpse that smashed over, the sword shadow flickered, his body was wrongly divided, and the sword was returned to the sheath.
The originally good body was instantly turned into scattered corpses - if you give Uesugi Kiyoshi a little more time, he can chop this unlucky egg who died in a sneak attack into dumpling filling.
You can't just take a pile of corpses, can you?
These few strokes are the most basic knife exercises, he has done it thousands of times, and he has formed an instinctive reaction, and the effect is surprisingly good.
The Ibaraki boy's feminine face was first stunned, then turned into endless chagrin.
The mirage collided with the ghostfire, making a crackling and burning sound.
The ghost king of the great rivers and mountains did not prepare a third backup plan.
