Eiroku four years, one year after Oda Nobunaga's death. Wise Zuo Majie and Mu Yuchen each rode together, and they were riding their horses to Inabayama Castle together. It's all because of a letter that Wise Samasuke received, a letter from Princess Yukihime, the sister of Yoshiryu Saito, the lord of Inabayama Castle.

"Zuo Masuke, I haven't corresponded with you for a long time, and I didn't expect that this letter was written to ask you to lend a hand. Inabayama Castle, a lot of strange things happened today, and many guards and dungeon guards suddenly disappeared. I heard that they were all eaten by youkai and that their bodies were stored in the lower levels of the dungeon. I was scared, really scared. Zuo Masuke, you are the person I trust the most, I hope you can come to save me, I hope this letter will not be too late......"

Zuo Majie and Mu Yuchen rushed to Inabayama Castle overnight and broke directly into the princess's room in the inner city. However, they were still a little late. Princess Yukihime is gone, and the cluttered bedroom is left with only the unfinished letter.

At this time, Mu Yuchen felt a faint aura approaching. Within the Force's perception, the energy fluctuations emanating from her body were very slight, and it seemed that she habitually hid her existence. However, Mu Yuchen still found ...... "who." Mu Yuchen said behind the door.

A small woman with short hair walked in, and Zuo Masuke saw her and shouted, "Kaede, why are you here?" ”

Kaede, a follower of Zuo Masuke, when Zuo Masuke encounters anything, she will always be obligated to appear. In Mu Yuchen's eyes, this small Japanese woman doesn't seem to belong to this era. Bright eyes, big eyes. The neat short hair is pinched on the head by a wooden hairpin, and the skin has a healthy wheat color. A tight-fitting ninja dress showed her figure vividly. The high slit for ease of movement reveals the rounded thigh curve. "85 points." Mu Yuchen commented.

"Why wouldn't I come when you need help! Ninjas always have their own channels for messaging, don't they? Mr. Xu. Answering Zuo Majie's question, Feng greeted Mu Yuchen.

Mu Yuchen nodded at the girl, and Zuo Majie on the side did not have any hesitation or doubt, and said decisively: "Okay, let's set off immediately." ”

Samasuke and the others followed the remnants of the trail, and from the mouth of a soldier, everyone learned that Yukihime was most likely caught in the center of the castle in Inabayama Castle.

Two roads that could also lead to the castle tower suddenly appeared in front of him, and the ninja Kaede, who was quick to move and was good at concealment, walked one way, and Mu Yuchen and Zuo Majie walked the other side. One is the big road on the north side, and the other is the west side, which is no longer in use. Mu Yuchen and Zuo Majie walked to the west.

The two walked through the woods, and a chill crept up into Mu Yuchen's heart. It's like the scene in X-Men, where the female ninja sneaks up in the shadows. "Be careful." Mu Yuchen reminded him loudly, and two cyan blade lights came out of the woods and pounced on the two of them respectively.

It was a humanoid monster, its head wrapped in white bandages, and only three glowing blue eyes were exposed. From the armguard he was wearing, a blade bounced out. The monster's upper body is thin, but its lower limbs are significantly stronger. At first glance, you can see that the weak but flexible guy of the Dao is obviously an assassination monster. Therefore, Mu Yuchen decided to simply call it - Three Eyes.

Zuo Majie and Mu Yuchen are both extraordinary, and the ambush of the three eyes was broken by Mu Yuchen. The head-on attack of assassinating monsters is simply a tragedy. Three times five divided by two, it was done by Mu Yuchen and Zuo Majie. But Mu Yuchen still couldn't help frowning, the strange energy attribute in the three-eyed body actually caused Mu Yuchen's true qi power to drop by nearly half, and he killed him after consuming nearly half of his internal strength. "Isn't it going to be dead if you are besieged like this? Fack! Mu Yuchen thought to himself.

The two continued to chase forward, approaching a row of wooden walls. The scene in front of him couldn't help but shock Zuo Majie's body, Princess Yukihime was being captured by another three-eyed monster. Moreover, the princess in front of her still fainted on the ground.

"Put down the princess." Zuo Majie shouted, and the long knife in his hand slashed angrily at the three eyes in his heart. The knife fell like a meteor, and the violent force brought a whirlwind around it. The blade slashed directly at the three eyes, as if it was about to tear it apart.

In Zuo Majie's surging sword qi, the three-eyed monster was unable to resist at all, and dodged to the side in a panic, and was very lucky to dodge a blow with almost all his strength. The murderous Zuo Majie stands horizontally with a knife, like a Shura. The Three-Eyed Demon obviously had some wisdom, and when it saw that it was not Zuo Majie's opponent, it ran away directly. Even Mu Yuchen's interception was flashed by it.

Of course, Zuo Masuke didn't care about this, and now he only had Princess Yukihime who was unconscious on the ground. Zuo Masuke gently hugged Yukihime in his arms and called her name gently. Mu Yuchen stood aside with his sword, vigilantly observing the situation around him.

"Princess Yukihime......." Samasuke called her name.

Yukihime slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Zuo Majie in front of her, and her face was full of surprise. She said happily, "Ah! Zuo Majie, great, I knew that you would come to save me. Yukihime's eyes shone with happiness, "I, I miss you very much." ”

"Don't say more, let's get out of here right away." As he spoke, he wanted to pick up the princess and leave.

Just as the three of them were about to leave, a vibration came from a distance in Mu Yuchen's fully opened perception. "Zuo Masuke, something is coming." Mu Yuchen looked vigilantly at the direction where the vibration came from.

After a while, not far away, sand and dust rolled into the sky, and a loud noise was heard. "Knock, knock, knock" loud noises are getting closer and closer. After the loud bang, a huge red beast emerged from the ground. It was clad in a black carapace and armed with a large mace. The sharp teeth are exposed, and there are two tusk-like upturned fangs on either side of the mouth.

The monster that had never been seen before made Zuo Majie and Xue Ji stunned, and even Mu Yuchen couldn't help but be oppressed by the momentum exuded by the monster's height of nearly four meters. At this moment, the huge monster actually spoke: "Useless little bedbug, get out of my way." ”

"Yukihime, you step aside for the time being. This monster allowed me to deal with Xu Duyun. After calming down a little, Zuo Masuke regained his composure, and everyone understood that there was only one battle at this moment. And Mu Yuchen's reaction was more direct, when he threw out a high-explosive grenade to test the opponent's defense.

In the flames of the explosion, the behemoth was unscathed. There wasn't even a trace of scratches on the carapace, and Mu Yuchen, who saw it, felt half cold in his heart. And Zuo Majie, who was gaining momentum on the side, at this life-and-death juncture, went all out as soon as he struck, and killed the giant beast like a tiger pounced on its prey.

The beast-like body had no room to dodge in front of Zuo Majie's fast knife, and Mu Yuchen also went around its back, and the ten layers of true qi unleashed the sword, and the light and shadow continued to pierce into the junction of its carapace at the joints. The whole body of the giant beast was shrouded by Zuo Majie and Mu Yuchen, and it was clear that victory was in sight.

It's a pity that Zuo Majie's long knife can't even break through its skin, and Mu Yuchen's long sword can only slightly break through the defense. The combined blows of the two couldn't do much damage to it, and the giant beast still stood still. "The true qi has just entered its body and has been repelled by that strange energy, and the purity of the true qi is insufficient, and it cannot exert its power at all." The true qi obtained by Mu Yuchen's tricks was revealed at this time.
