Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Tiger of Kai Strikes
Early the next morning.
The stable and wave-free little day that Pei Chen expected did not come, because there were too many troubles, not to mention the rest, his demonization was an imminent event.
Maybe there is also the reason for the killing stone itself, Pei Chen has not forgotten that this thing itself is the crystallization of the demonic power of an ancient monster known as the Nine Tails of the World. Putting aside those cyan scales and blood-colored vertical pupils, it was the activation and demonization of the ancient viper gene.
But......
Looking at the sharp nails growing from his slender ten fingers, Pei Chen narrowed his eyes, "Fox? β
Quite possibly! Remembering the sound of gold and iron striking with Shibata Katsuie's halberd last night, when he instinctively reacted with his claws, Pei Chen's expression became very subtle, so subtle that people couldn't help but want to punch him in the nose.
The 53-point physical attributes include cell activity, muscle tissue strength, bone density, body toughness, physical endurance, recovery ability and other branch attributes.
With 53 points of physical strength, coupled with the demonizing blessing effect of the Killing Stone, his claws may indeed be able to be sharper and stronger than most ordinary metal swords. Even if it is not much comparable to Shibata Katsuka's divination halberd, it is really not a matter of parrying a few moves for a short time.
"Seems like an extra skill? Or is it more aggressive? β
For the first time, Pei Chen couldn't help but take the initiative to urge the demon power, usually he had never used those demon power values in order not to worsen the situation, even if the killing stone imprinted the experience and skills of how to use this alien energy in the depths of his consciousness.
With a slight wave of his five fingers, Pei Chen naturally felt several faint streams of heat circulating in his body, and finally shot out from the tips of his five fingers through the veins of the entire arm, and the cyan five sharp edges directly shredded the entire table in front of him.
There was also an ominous scarlet aura.
"......" Looking at the scarlet aura that lingered for a long time, Pei Chen's eyes flashed with confusion, and he always felt ...... It's familiar!
A fragment of a broken memory crossed his mind, like a thunderbolt breaking through the fog, and he suddenly remembered what happened in the deep valley of monsters before, the terrifying claw marks that spread hundreds of thousands of kilometers tore the earth, and directly killed those huge monster owls like mountains.
In the huge ravine created by the claw strike, there is still some red evil aura left, I didn't know it at first, but now that I think about it, isn't it the demonic aura brought by the killing stone?!
looked at his demon power slot, because there was no constraint on the skill module, the demon power points consumed were not so standard, about 6 points less. Pei Chen tried to swing a claw again, but the edge that was still cyan accompanied by the scarlet demonic qi condensed for a long time before dissipating.
In this way, although after having the Killing Stone, he directly went from a rookie who didn't know anything about xenomorph energy to a master who played with demonic power? After all, the added value contained in the Killing Stone is an incomparably powerful ancient monster's experience, skills, and experience in the use of energy.
But the price is that as long as you use your own demonic power, you will definitely give birth to the scarlet aura contained in the killing stone, which is extremely evil and pure authentic demonic energy. He even added special effects to some of his skills, and his hair became ...... Ahem, ahem, not this!
After thinking about it for a while, Pei Chen was frightened by the picture he imagined, the painting style is so good!
Sure enough, are you going to change the battle route of the gorgeous style?
However, there is another question - shouldn't the Nine-Tails, a peerless demon that is almost at the pinnacle, be killed by the Lord of the Demon Spirit at the last moment, and then refined into a high-level prop like the Killing Stone? But why is it that the aura left over from the attack of the Killing Stone appears in various parts of the battlefield?
Could it be that the Nine-Tails were skinned by the Demon King as soon as they opened? That's too frustrating, isn't it? It is completely inconsistent with the murderous nature of the Nine Tails of the Nine-Tails of the Destruction of the World in his imagination, which subverts the mountains and rivers and destroys the great powers! Or is it not that the nine-tails are too wretched, but that the demon king is too terrifying?
"And report! Your Excellency Pei Chen, the general is invited! β
Just when Pei Chen was thinking about some messy things that had no factual basis, the soldier's report suddenly came from outside the door.
Oda Shinna? Please? Pei Chen was stunned for a moment, he planned to promote a treaty so soon? It's not possible, you have to be reserved and behave! Or is it because of Shibata Katsuie's radical actions last night that he intends to apologize for Shenma? But that Ji Daimyo is such a short-term guy......
With a confusion and confusion, Pei Chen pushed the door out, and the first thing he saw at a glance was Wise Guangxiu standing outside the door. Well, in a sense, the girl is her own person, and she has been following her as a follower, and the poisonous snake didn't say anything.
"Yo, good morning Mitsu-so!" Pei Chen habitually greeted the girl.
"Master Pei Chen, good morning." The girl raised her head and showed a gentle smile, which directly killed Pei Chen's eyeballs. The sunny and confident expression, the whole person seems to be shining, and last night's gloomy performance seems to be a complete illusion.
I'm rubbing! She seemed to be all the way home on her way back last night! I don't think I picked up anything strange to eat on the road! How did it come to this? Pei Chen really couldn't understand what kind of magical creature the girl was, what kind of transformation she had experienced!
Without giving Pei Chen a chance to figure it out, Wise Guangxiu came directly behind him, pulled away a little, and showed his respect and inferiority, and put on an entourage attitude as before. But today's distance is too close, isn't it? On weekdays, it's a distance between half a step and a step, but today it's only a little half a step away?!
This kind of treatment is really a "personal maid", Pei Chen can almost feel the breath of the girl Rulan, and the back of her neck can't help but shrink, and she wants to remind her. This is already within the "intimate distance", not the "polite distance" and the "private distance".
"Lord Pei Chen, please leave as soon as possible, the head of the Oda family has been waiting for a long time." Wise Guangxiu took the lead and directly blocked Pei Chen. He turned his head sullenly, knocked on the door of his head, and walked away.
After walking for a while, Pei Chen felt more and more awkward. He has always thought that he is a relatively thick-skinned person, but now it seems that he still has not reached his skills!
Especially when he keenly felt that the bright eyes behind him were staring at him, and the light of his eyes was burning him like substance, he couldn't help but feel a tingling in the back of his head, and he was extremely uncomfortable.
I want to turn around and let the girl not follow so closely, but I'm afraid that the girl behind me will bump into it as soon as I turn around and stop. Moreover, smelling the faint fragrance that he was already familiar with behind him, Pei Chen sadly found that he had no courage to turn back.
Even when the body stiffens, the heart accelerates uncontrollably, and the breathing becomes a little unnatural.
- "Dig a groove!" What's wrong with me?! Why are you so uncomfortable? What the hell is there to be nervous about?! β
Well, no matter how much he dissects himself in his heart and blames himself, that unnatural feeling is always beyond the control of the will. Pei Chen was afraid that the girl behind him would find out his embarrassment, so he had to secretly speed up his pace, hoping to unilaterally distance himself and get out of such an embarrassing situation.
Then, with even more sorrow, he found that the thin and light footsteps of the girl behind him also quickened at the same time.
The trip to the castle tower from your residence was only about five minutes, so even if you walked slowly, you would have already arrived. However, this originally short journey seemed to have become extremely long at this moment, and Pei Chen was stunned that he felt that he had walked for a century.
The whole world seems to be quiet, the heavens and the earth are silent, everything is still, the only thing that can be felt is the breath of Rulan, and all that can be heard in the ears is the sound of his own heartbeat and the small, light and subtle and elegant footsteps of the girl behind him.
When he finally arrived at the castle tower, Pei Chen actually had a feeling that he had been suffocated for a long time and finally breathed oxygen - he was finally saved!
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't expect what a miserable situation she had become, she just had a firm and shining eye, and the corners of her mouth hooked a charming arc, proud and proud, as if she had made up some kind of determination.
"What's wrong? What's the matter? As soon as he entered the door, Pei Chen was keenly aware that everyone in the Oda family looked worried and worried, as if something particularly troublesome had happened?
However, Pei Chen doesn't like trouble, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of trouble. And he desperately needed something to happen right now that would allow him to divert his attention. Or maybe he was desperately hoping that the hapless guy would hit him on the muzzle of his gun, so that he could vent his frustration and unhappiness.
After he had found a seat in the hall and sat down, he was shocked to find that the situation did not seem to be getting any better, but worseβthe fragrant fragrance of the girl did not fade as he imagined, but became clearer.
Wise Mitsusu sat down behind him very naturally, and even Pei Chen could feel the touch of her hair on his back - suddenly, Pei Chen felt that his whole body was stiff, and even a little bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.
However, due to the problem of perspective, the others didn't notice anything wrong at all, and it was impossible for Pei Chen to jump up and shout or something, so ......
"Alright! It's actually me who takes advantage......" silently complained in his heart, Pei Chen looked at his nose and nose, and forcibly diverted his attention, anyway, he wouldn't deliberately eat the girl's tofu, so naturally he wouldn't be uncomfortable......
Well, this bandit logic.
"Pei Chen, you're here!" Oda Shinna greeted Pei Chen, but that weak and listless appearance really made Niwa Nagahide next to him unbearable, and he spread his folding fan and said coldly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please pay attention to the impact." β
"So, what the hell is going on?" Pei Chen looked around, except for the Shibata Katsu family, who had been dodging and not daring to face him, most of the Oda family's retainers were like that.
"Ahem," Niwa Manchiyo coughed a few times and said, "According to the latest tip, it seems that Musashi Province is planning to send troops to attack Mino!" β
"Huh?" As if hearing some strange news, Pei Chen was stunned, and then laughed, "So you're worried that Owari, who is headed and tailed by Mino, will be powerless to fight?" β
He seemed to be muttering to himself: "Although I have long known that the tiger of Kai will not be so peaceful to watch the Imagawa family grow bigger, but I never thought that it would be so unbreathable!" β
Listening to his words, it seems that he had expected and prepared for a long time?
