In July of the year 568 of the Altino calendar, the country of Izumo, Japan

In order to make up for the backward parts before, the actions of Lancelot and others can only be described in four words: fast horses and whips.

There is not much time left in the four hours, and it will be more advantageous for you to reach Kyoto before Oda Ka. Although Oda Xiang set off in front, but she who fused with the Eight Miscellaneous Snake to become one, it was impossible for her to still have a way to perform the Nine Yao Rush, so it was not impossible to get ahead of her.

But halfway through the journey, what they saw ahead surprised the six of them.

Looking up from below, I saw a dark cloud layer, which kept flashing dazzling fiery red golden light, faintly lighting up half of the crimson of the sky.

And rising above the clouds, the scene seen is even more spectacular, a long wall of fire, hundreds of miles long spitting a strange blood-red tongue of fire, floating and burning in the sea of clouds, strong fire, heat, as if competing with the red sun in the sky for light.

Everyone trembled at this spectacle, especially when the Eight Miscellaneous Snake was no longer there, but the sea of fire was still burning and burning, and the power represented here was controlled, and anyone could sink their hearts violently.

Feng'er, who is the best at fire-based martial arts, can't figure out how the Eight Miscellaneous Snake can achieve such power, and can only say that the enemy's strength is already a level that he can't understand at all.

"It's a hassle, leaving such a thing here......"

Gengoro and Lancelot, whose Tianxin consciousness is higher than the others, naturally saw that the Eight Miscellaneous Snake had left something in this sea of fire, and if it wanted to break into the sea of fire, it would be attacked by its pre-hidden fire bombs, and if they tried to bypass it from above or below, triggering an ambush, then in addition to the fire bombs, there would also be thunder and lightning that would be launched together.

The safest way is to take a detour, but this can delay for almost an hour. The Eight Miscellaneous Snake had almost infinite power to waste, but Lancelot and the others didn't have endless time to squander.

"Muddy tent, you left us this kind of thing......" Lancelot frowned and said: "If you don't break through, you can't pass, and now you can only break through, everyone is ready, me and the third child will take the lead, we will ......"

"Wait a minute. Waving his hand to stop Lancelot's command, Gengoro stared at the sea of fire, and from the fire and direction, he saw something, and a possible speculation was going on in his mind.

"Teacher Mei Lin didn't set off with us, and with an old Jianghu like her, it's impossible to do nothing, it's very likely that she has already fought with the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, so ......"

There was something in Gengoro's words, but everyone didn't understand what he was trying to say. Soon, Gengoro had an affirmation and said, "Your Majesty, the two of us will go to break through the sea of fire first, and the rest of us will wait here." ”

Even without the help of the three daughters, Lancelot and Gengoro can work together to break the wall of fire, but in this way, there is a risk of injury, and the loss of strength is also large, and when encountering the Eight Snakes, it will be very disadvantageous, Lancelot doesn't quite understand Gengoro's plan, however, he didn't refute it.

One after the other, the two flew towards the wall of fire, and the closer they got closer, the more they could feel the powerful lethality contained in the flames.

Lancelot improved the Heavenly Demon Skill one by one, condensing it to the peak, and his body was faintly shrouded in a layer of black qi. The stimulation brought by the unsealing of the Vitality Cave, although it still failed to break through the skill, it also made great progress, and the power of the Heavenly Demon Skill increased.

Gengoro also used the proud martial art of the Star Sage of the day, "Ziwei Xuanjian", which is known as the magic trick of the first in the Wind Continent to transform strength and disperse energy, and when the fire power hits, it will effectively disperse the enemy's energy, and crack the fire wall in a way different from Lancelot's response to the enemy.

The two joined forces, first each of them fired a blow, triggering the power contained in the wall of fire, and the flames condensed into bullets, attacking the two of them respectively. Although it was said to be a fire bomb, its size was far larger than that of the two of them, and when the bombardment came, there was only a red patch in front of them, and countless small fire beads the size of fists were densely attacked, making it difficult for the two of them to deal with.

Heavenly Demon Gong and Ziwei Xuanjian have their own miraculous effects, before the fire bomb reaches the body, part of the power is removed, but the pressure that comes after it is like a river and a sea, the two of them are bombarded by the fire bomb with a slight decline, and they have to fight each other with all their strength, only to feel that the whole body is like a furnace, sweating like pulp, but the skin is dry and painful like burning, as if every drop of water in the body is going to seep out and evaporate from the pores.

If it was to cooperate with the three daughters of Izumi Sakura, they could break the wall of fire with less pressure, but now, whether it is Lancelot or Gengoro, they have an idea in their hearts. Lancelot had the consciousness that he would suffer a certain amount of injuries and the loss of strength, but Gengoro estimated that the time was almost up.

The expected help arrived just in time before the damage occurred, and just before the two of them had to make a move, a strong force came directly from the opposite side, just hitting the most empty point of the wall of fire because of the dispersion of the force.

The one-sided lone army suddenly received assistance, and the pressure on the two was greatly reduced, and they took the opportunity to counterattack.

The Heavenly Demon Golden Cone and the Little Heavenly Star Sword erupted together, with the power of the other direction bombarding again, attacking from both sides, and with a loud bang, the entire wall of fire was broken, and then starting from the one that was torn, it dissipated to the side, but it was just a sudden effort, and the wall of fire that spread for hundreds of miles disappeared cleanly, and the entire space returned to coolness.

The blow was successful, but Lancelot's face was full of doubt. The feeling just now, the strength to help oneself is not only stronger than the three of Quan Sakura joining forces, but purely in terms of internal strength, it is even much stronger than himself, what master is helping on the other side?

As far as the eye could see, a figure flew towards Kyoto and quickly disappeared at the end of the sky, and although the figure was in a hurry, it was still clear that it was Amakusa Shiro.

If it was him, it would not be surprising that there was such a strong sword aura in the blow just now, but with Amakusa alone, he couldn't exert such power, who else was in the clouds over there?

Just as he was about to speak, Gengoro had already taken the lead and flew towards the clouds, although Lancelot didn't know what to do, but he also flew over with him, wanting to see what Gengoro was looking for?

Judging from the rational point of view, the only one who will rush ahead of everyone to encounter the Eight Miscellaneous Snake and shoot together with Amakusa Shiro is Teacher Mei Lin. However, when Lancelot swept through the thick clouds and came to the center of the wall of fire, he was surprised to see what he saw.

The clouds gradually dispersed, and in the misty smoke, there was the figure of a long-haired woman, but it was not the expected girl, but a tall red-dressed beauty.

It's a bit incorrect to say that she is in a red dress, because what she is wearing is only a red hollow vest and shorts, which can't hide her graceful and plump figure. Looking obliquely, the slender waist sets off the full chest line, the shorts that only reach the knee make the snow-white and well-proportioned calves look more delicate, and the bright red leather material makes the slender legs and hips curve extremely delicate and round.

She must have sensed the approach of the two of them, but she didn't react, and Lancelot noticed that there were some strange purple patterns on her white calves, like the patterns of flowers and vines, but instead of tattoos, they looked like the spots of orcs.

The wind was strong above, and her long purple hair swayed from side to side on her waist, which was not covered by her waistcoat, and large areas of snow-white skin flickered in the clouds that swept by, making people want to see her true face.

"Teacher, are we early?"

Gengoro snatched it first, and she also turned around, revealing her face.

The perfect goose egg face, a smooth forehead with bangs, slightly raised eyebrows, long eyelashes like willow leaves, a straight nose bridge, small lips as if rubbed rouge, a faint smile at the corner of the mouth, comfortable and generous, constitute an impeccable and beautiful face...... There were only two points, the pair of sunglasses that had just been put on, so that Lancelot could not see her eyes, and a red mark that dragged diagonally from the top left to the bottom right, leaving an ugly scar on the face.

But even so, Lancelot can still feel her beauty, and can understand why Lu You and Amakusa fell in love with her back then. Purely in terms of appearance, Izumi Sakura and Oda Xiang are better than her, but in temperament, she is very special, with an indescribable heroic aura, similar to Nier, but more mature, and because of the washing of the years, it has added softness and wisdom.

Although she still has some doubts about the mysterious beauty in front of her, in terms of temperament, this woman is indeed worthy of being the first woman of the Magic Guild, and she has been deeply trusted by generations of queens and trusted by her.

"Hello, teacher. ”

Since meeting Merlin, Lancelot has never been rude, but he has never been so respectful as he is now. Perhaps, this is also the relationship of insufficient spiritual cultivation, for him, although he knows Mei Lin's origins, it is a very strange thing to be respectful to a little girl.

On the contrary, Gengoro's attitude did not change, and he seemed to be very close, and wanted to talk to Merlin shoulder to shoulder, but instead she twisted his ears and pressed his head down.

"Oops, it hurts, it's ugly...... It hurts, my ears are going to be ripped off......"

"No matter how ugly it is, it won't be worse than planting onions upside down in a muddy field, and you're pretty fast at washing mud. ”

"Teacher, you change clothes very quickly, if it weren't for the same sound, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you at all. ”

"I don't want to wear it like this, but my robe is burned by the flames of the serpent, and there is no way. ”

There is a friendship between Merlin and Gengoro that Lancelot doesn't know, and he doesn't need to ask about this, because just like Merlin deliberately hides her true face, there are many things that others should not interfere with.

"I'm old, I'm really old, just such a small scene, I'm forced to show my face. ”

Merlene's exclamation, Lancelot didn't understand. Putting aside the disguise with the help of drugs and masks, like other exercises that use bone shrinkage and muscle structure to change the appearance, they themselves are quite depleting of the practitioner's internal strength, and against the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, Mei Lin, who was forced to go all out, finally lifted the transformation exercise and responded to the enemy with her original face.

"The Eight Miscellaneous Snake is very difficult to deal with, but it is not without flaws, and you have to pay attention to the ......"

Merlin told Lancelot about her experience in being a talent, and from this action, Lancelot knew that Merlin had no intention of fighting side by side with her, perhaps for elders of their age, they were used to the solitary style, hiding in the shadows, and helping as the situation occurred, this is her style.

"Hey, teacher, do you want to leave the matter to us and run away by yourself?" The protest was made by Gengoro, who tried to prepare as many chips as he could in order to fight against the Yachi.

"I don't like to go to crowded places, so I'll leave it to you on the serpent's side. Merlin adjusted the sunglasses on her face, the presence of which made the scar on her face less obvious, and she glanced at Lancelot.

"You kid is finally a little arrogant, it's very good, the big snake is dealt with by you, I'll go to the old friends of Kunlun Mountain to catch up, if you really let Japan sink, then it's too late." ”

Lancelot tried to take a stand as he did with Yuxue, but was stopped by Merlin.

"I appreciate your determination, but from our standpoint, if you are allowed to give up on yourself like this, it will be difficult for me to explain to others afterwards. You value righteousness above your own safety, but don't forget that there are people in this world who value you more than anything else. ”

Lancelot couldn't refute anything when Merlin said this, after all, Merlene was different from Yuxue, and he couldn't force her to change her mind.

The clouds flowed in the back, and Izumi Sakura and the others came this way, Mei Lin didn't seem to be willing to see people with this face, so before she left, Lancelot said: "I understand, then everything is left to the teacher, and I don't want to worry about the people who care about me, but before parting, I have a question, I hope the teacher can solve my doubts." ”

"What's the problem?"

"Teacher, you...... Usually under the magic robe, are you dressed so hot?"

In response to this impudent question, two fists from different masters slammed into King Reyns' curious pig's head.

Leaving Merlin and Amakusa Shiro behind, Yaki Orochi had already arrived in Kyoto one step earlier.

Japan's largest metropolis was also affected by natural disasters, and the situation in the city was chaotic, with nearby mountains collapsing and rivers bursting their banks rushing to Kyoto. The entire administrative system was paralyzed by the flood of reports of the disaster from all over the country, and Kyoto was busy trying to evacuate the people.

It was also at this moment of chaos that a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, allowing the people below to discover the abnormality.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a black shadow, because it is difficult to tell which shadow is darker in the already dark sky like a lead block. However, when the great sense of oppression came down from the sky, people instinctively looked up, followed by a cry of fear insulated from reason.

Just as the people were frightened along the way, the people of Kyoto reacted very strongly. In particular, the appearance of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, although they broke through the dark clouds and allowed the sunlight to penetrate through them, the huge energy contained in its giant body also interfered with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi gathered in Kyoto, causing thunder and lightning to collide in the air, and countless dazzling golden lights surrounded the Great Snake's body, and even scattered around it after it could not break through, and some of them even roared to the ground.

The houses collapsed, the people and horses were frightened and wailed, and the Yachigo Orochi had already caused damage to Kyoto before it could make any moves.

Looking at the disaster on the ground, there was no trace of emotional reaction in the golden pupils of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, but the movements stopped, as if hesitating about the next step.

The instinct in the body told it that now that the meat tǐ was very tired, it should find a deep sea or a cave and sleep well for thousands of years. This instinct was so strong, and yet, there was a stronger will in my mind that repeated the same thought, which was to go to Kyoto.

Because this thought was bigger than instinct, it had made the long journey to this place, but now, it didn't know what to do next.

The tiny creatures below are making noise. These small beings, which have the same appearance as the god of creation, give the snake a strong desire to destroy, but before it can make a move, a diametrically opposite message comes from its head, making it have to stop.

What he wanted to do was inexplicably stopped, and the crowd below repeatedly stimulated the big snake's desire to destroy, and after a while, the big snake became very restless, and the three snake heads roared to the sky together, the sound was sharp and loud, and the shock wave hit the surrounding thunder and lightning and quickly bombarded the ground.

Unless there was a heavenly master to suppress the formation, it would be impossible for ordinary people to resist the impact of this wide range of miles, and if several tornadoes were used at the same time, the streets of the stone road were shattered, and the houses were reduced to broken tiles and broken trees, and blood was splattered on them, and the faint cry soon ceased as people lost their lives.

The serpent then tried to breathe flames, but a strong command from the depths of his consciousness made it dispel this thought.

Suddenly, Orochi saw an extremely ornate and elegant building, towering over a corner of Kyoto. It was Kyoto Castle, the current administrative center of all of Japan, and Orochi didn't know it, but it felt an indescribable familiarity with this ancient city, which made it want to get closer.

The order to stop came from the depths of his consciousness again, but the agitated feeling of the great snake greatly weakened the influence of reason, and although it did not move towards Kyoto Castle, it took advantage of the gap when its instinct was freed, and the raging flames and cold frost burst into the ground, sweeping from east to west.

The casualties, which were far more than ten times greater than before, were inflicted in an instant. The scene that once appeared in the Kunlun Mountains area is being re-enacted in Kyoto.

The new team and the soldiers who were in charge of defending Kyoto took up their positions and launched an attack on the serpent above. Only one order was heard, and thousands of arrows flew together, including the giant crossbow shot with the machine bracket and the artillery with metal debris, and attacked the big snake in mid-air together.

If this level of attack could be effective, Reyns's side wouldn't have to work so hard. When the round of attacks ended, the people below were shocked that the big snake had not even been injured by a single snake scale, and the overwhelming sense of terror destroyed their reason, and everyone was at a loss, not knowing whether to continue the attack or immediately turn and flee.

"Eight-grid deer!attack!I don't believe there will be such a big difference......"

One of the generals angrily shouted at the soldiers to attack, but his rapid roar failed to wake the soldiers up, instead attracting the attention of the Eight Snakes.

Fortunately, before the three heads of the Eight Snakes moved, there was a movement in Kyoto City, and a battalion of soldiers lined up at the head of the city, raising the silver shield in their hands high, reflecting the dazzling sunlight, and in an instant, it was like a snow light belt, shining at the head of Kyoto City.

The reflection of the silver shield shone directly at the Yaki Orochi, which quickly noticed the anomaly here, let out a whistling sound, and moved towards Kyoto Castle.

Originally, the purpose of the Silver Shield Team was to lure the Great Snake to Kyoto City, so seeing that the Great Snake was moving, the Silver Shield Team, which had already completed the task, spread out and withdrew to the side.

The Orochi seemed to have the intention of attacking, but gave up with the swift withdrawal of the Silver Shield, and on the other hand, it found that at the top of Kyoto Castle, there was a larger mirror reflecting the sun, and over there, something was calling to it.

The serpent slowly moved its position, completely oblivious to the pesky insects below, and headed in the direction that attracted it, and after a few moments, it looked down from the sky, and on the top of the castle tower of Kyoto Castle, there was a wheelchair wooden cart, and on top of it was a sick old man, fearless of its size, looking up at it.

Despite the long distance, the serpent could see very clearly, and the old man, unlike the other humans, had no fear on his calm face, but smiled at himself.

"Oh...... You're back, I've been waiting for you, you seem to be very tired, do you want to take a break?"

Because of his illness and weakness, the old man's voice was so soft that even the guard warriors who were three steps away could not necessarily hear it, but the great snake could hear it, not a word, and its hearing was not comparable to that of other creatures.

In the mind of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, this is the first time in thousands of years that he has the deep emotion of "confusion". It didn't know the old man, all humans were just things to trample on in its eyes, but the old man ...... But it gave it a very peculiar feeling, from the deepest part of its consciousness, it began to feel tired, and the original ferocious murderous aura gradually weakened.

This old man, who seems to be almost critically ill, is now the highest power in Japan, the great shogun Hideyoshi. When a series of catastrophes occurred in Japan, the bureaucracy in Kyoto Castle was panicked because His Royal Highness Sojiro, who had been in charge of giving orders, and the contingency measures he left before his departure could not keep up with the rapid deterioration of the situation, and people could only do their best to deal with it with their own strength.

And when the Yachi Orochi appeared in Kyoto, the officials, who judged that it was impossible to resist the beast, hurriedly asked Hideyoshi to leave Kyoto City for refuge. However, in recent days, Hideyoshi's illness had worsened and he was in a coma, and he suddenly came to his senses and refused the request of his retainers, ordering them to move him to the castle tower.

No one knew why Hideyoshi had such an order, but the danger of moving the castle tower at such a time was no different from suicide. Ignoring the wails of the retainers, the general's order was fulfilled, and when the wheelchair wooden cart was put on the castle tower, the silver shield team attracted the attention of the Eight Snakes, and the retainers were reprimanded to leave, and only a few guards who swore to live and die with the lord insisted on staying by the side against the lord's will.

It must be hard for others to believe, but Hideyoshi just knows about the merger relationship between Yachiki Orochi and Oda Ka. He didn't have to look, he didn't need to observe, he felt the boy come back as the Yachigo snake was approaching Kyoto.

Because he was seriously ill for many years and his body was weak, when Hideyoshi's physical condition was poor, it was difficult for him to even speak. Although Sojiro visited his adoptive father every day, most of the time, the two of them just looked at each other without saying a word, and did not talk a word from beginning to end.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Hideyoshi was able to see a lot of things, many things that were blocked by words and expressions, and there was nothing to hide in this long-term mental exchange. As an adoptive father, Hideyoshi undoubtedly knows Oda Xiang better than Amakusa Shiro.

Facing the sky, Hideyoshi spoke in a muttering voice, which was the only strength he had.

"It's a bad situation over there, isn't it? But it doesn't matter, kid, you've already worked hard, and in this world, not everything can go as you want. ”

Although she has a bit of a weird personality, she is still a good boy. Years ago, after taking her from Kadar and taking on the responsibility of upbringing, he never regretted it.

Over the years, she has played her role very well, and has done her duty without need, both for herself and for Japan. However, that should be enough, and there is nothing in the world that is harder than to take on responsibilities that do not have to be shouldered.

"I am grateful for your heart for Japan...... These days, you are like a gift from heaven to me, giving meaning to the lives of our two old people. ”

It's not that her adoptive father and master gave her anything, but it's this considerate child who constantly warms the lives of the two old people. Although Amakusa he never officially mentioned it, he must have noticed that the existence of Oda incense gave him a luster in his lonely life for thousands of years.

"But...... It's enough, if you spend all day with withdrawn people, your life will also become withdrawn, me and Amakusa...... I don't have power and I don't want to dictate your whole life. I would like to thank you as the shogun of the shogunate, but from now on, you can do what you want. ”

This child doesn't have anything she wants to do in her heart, and even if she says this, it will only make it more difficult for her, and it is because she knows this in the past that she asked her to protect Japan instead of herself, hoping that in this process, she can find what she really wants to do.

However, enough is really enough...... Her own longevity is coming to an end, the disaster in Japan is so serious that even the primeval beast that has been suppressed out of the clouds for thousands of years has been released, and the collapse of this island country is unstoppable, there is no need to let her go to the road of destruction with this land.

These words must be said before they die, if they leave before they have time to finish these words, the responsibility borne by the child will become an eternal bondage, distorting her life, which will be the most painful thing for herself.

"The sun and the moon come and go, there is no such thing as a country that is eternal, so you don't need to worry about anything......

After that, you are free, child......"

The voice, which was already quite weak, was almost silent when it came to this, and the guards on the side found that the corners of the general's dry mouth could not help but foam with blood, and they were shocked, and hurriedly took the person away from the castle tower and went to a safe place to treat him...... Hideyoshi, who was already unconscious, did not make any statement.

However, just as they began to move the wheelchair cart, a scream that should have occurred a long time ago violently tore through everyone's hearing.

The eight-fold snake in mid-air seemed to have been provoked by some great provocation, roaring angrily, and the violent sound waves not only shook everyone's balance nerves through hearing, knocking them down, but also turned into a storm, slamming left and right, sweeping away all the clouds in all directions.

The Shogun's samurai guards were unsteady, but they still faithfully sacrificed their lives to rescue Hideyoshi and take him away from the castle tower, and when the Yaki Orochi noticed something strange on the castle tower, it set off a storm and struck the attic like a furious storm, destroying it in an instant and reducing it to a pile of broken tiles and rotten wood.

The castle tower was torn down, revealing the bare castle structure underneath, and the samurai of the guards miraculously led Hideyoshi out of danger in a single moment, and although the two companions died heroically, they seized the precious opportunity to run down the stairs with Hideyoshi on their backs.

However, the Eight Snakes noticed this. Strongly stimulated, its agitation at the moment felt worse than before, and at the same time, the deep consciousness that had been restraining its movements seemed to have come to a complete halt, which made its irritability and unhappiness like a rushing torrent, turning into the purest desire for destruction.

The Yachi-Gun opened its mouth widely, and after sucking in the air around it, a blazing flame erupted towards the main building of Kyoto Castle. The fierce heat, before it came into contact with it, the stone on the city wall had been twisted, showing a strange softness as if it was about to melt, and when this pillar of flame swept through the main building, of course, not only was the building destroyed, but all the life inside would also be ashes in an instant.

It's just that a sword light appeared at this time, shining with a clean and bright white holy light, but the silent sound wave had a substantial power, slamming into the flames with strong wind pressure, and with a highly concentrated effect, it was able to knock the flame pillar crookedly, and hit the ground with no accuracy.

The flames turned into a sea of fire in an instant, burning everything that could be seen as far as the eye could see, and the city of Kyoto was screaming and shattering, but the main building that was the target was unharmed.

"A-ka, no matter how you became like this, you heard what Hideyoshi just said, and the matter is over...... Master was very sorry for you in the past, but if you continue to be obsessed, then I will defeat you here!"

Holding the Cross Sword in his hand, Amakusa Shiro seemed to be so majestic as he floated above the flames, but only he knew that he was facing the most unwilling and unwinnable battle in his life.

"What's going on here?"

Rushing to Kyoto as fast as possible, Lancelot and the others stared at the scene ahead and thought about what to do.

Fortunately, the situation in Kyoto is good, although some areas are severely damaged, but most of them are unharmed, but the gorgeous and elegant old city of Kyoto, more than half of the area has been turned into a sea of fire, burning brightly, just smelling the unique smell of burning, everyone knows that there are heavy casualties.

Gengoro muttered, "It seems that someone arrived one step ahead of us and lured the snake away......"

The answer to who would do such a thing is all too obvious. Although there is a glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts, Li Yu, who has not yet left Japan, should be able to show up to help, and with his powerful strength far beyond the rest of the people, he will be able to effectively restrain the big snake's operation.

"To deal with this kind of big monster, the most troublesome thing is the lack of a commander with the same strength, because relying on mosquitoes to suck human blood, even if the aim is accurate and ruthless, it is difficult to cause fatal bleeding, but if there is a good knife, it is another matter, we all understand this truth. ”

Niel shrugged her shoulders and said, "But let's give up, if we expect that silver-haired guy to show up here, we need a greater miracle than God thundering and slashing the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes." ”

Although they had only met once, Nier's impression of the silver-haired swordsman had been positioned as "not bad, a good person, but don't expect him to do anything better, it's enough not to defect temporarily", unfortunately, the three brothers who befriended him and Jin Lan couldn't refute this assessment.

"Where, then, is the serpent?"

The answer was not long in coming. Although the vision was not clear because of the fire, smoke and dust everywhere in front of him, from the faint sound of thunder and the violent atmospheric impact, it could still be judged that the Yachi Snake was fighting fiercely with Amakusa Shiro dozens of miles away in the west.

"You see, that's ......"

As if it was a repetition of the scene of Kunlun Mountain, wisps of purple-green spiritual light slowly rose from the flames of Kyoto City, as if pulled by some force, and quickly passed towards the west. Nearly a thousand purple-green spiritual lights, like meteors, swept through the smoke and dust, becoming a beautiful but strange scene.

"It's the Eight Miscellaneous Snake, this place is different from Kunlun Mountain, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is not so abundant, and its recovery power is not as good as before, so it needs to replenish its strength with the help of devouring souls. ”

Gengoro said: "From this point of view, the decisive battle here is in our favor. ”

The battle strategy has been drawn up on the way to the road, and although everyone has little confidence in the success rate, they can only do it head-on.

Lancelot said: "In addition to the main force of the attack, the most dangerous and troublesome is the one who lures the attention of the big snake. Shiro Amakusa's position is unclear, and he may not be on the same side as us, so he must choose another person to serve as the bait, and based on the danger of this task, I have the responsibility to take the initiative, so I will serve as the bait!"

As a leader, it is naturally impossible for others to let him say this, and the one who reacted the most violently was Niel.

"No, brother, you are the commander of our group, let you go on an adventure, this is too unreasonable, you can't go. ”

Lancelot said: "I have the responsibility to take this risk, and it is also one of the responsibilities of the leader to go to the challenge, if I can't take the lead, who will do this kind of work?"

"I'll just go, just leave this kind of task to me, brother, you ......"

Not wanting her brother to be in danger, the girl completely ignored her position and fought for the dangerous bait work, but she didn't expect that Lancelot, who had always been heavy-faced, suddenly changed her face at this time, smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Yes? Then leave it to you, you have to do a good job, and you must let the big snake chase after you!"

Seeing his brother's diametrically opposed expression from the previous moment, Neel, who had an epiphany, had no time to say anything, and was slapped on the back by Lancelot, and walked away with displeasure.

"I don't need to say more, the third child, you can go with you, that girl can't do without you. When Niel walked away, Lancelot whispered to his brother.

"Without me, can you do it? Compared to the bait, your side is the most dangerous, with one less main combat power, is it really okay?"

"Anyway, this battle plan doesn't rely on the power of the Heavenly Position, it doesn't make much difference with you or not, as long as you are sure that your spell scroll can work. If you hadn't swept the formation, the girl would have been swallowed by the big snake, and the loss would have been too great, not to mention...... You're going to have to take advantage of our fight against the serpent to get the last safety device. ”

"Judging from the signs here, Oda Xiang has lost control of the Yaqi Snake, but her Heavenly Heart Consciousness should still support the Snake, the situation is very bad, you have to be careful. ”

Neither of them was instigating, and after confirming each other's roles in the battle, the two men clenched their fists and struck each other.

"Don't die like this, I'm still waiting to see you build an ideal country. ”

"If you have such a ridiculous idea, you can die now. ”

After assigning the task, Lancelot turned his head and nodded to the two women who were rightfully in his group, but remained silent.

"I don't need to say anything more. There are women in this world who I will do everything I can to keep her safe, but there are also women who have a strong desire to see her by my side when I have the consciousness to say goodbye. ”

Lancelot smiled awkwardly, "That's the way it is, but am I too much to say this to more than one woman at a time?"

The personality of a man as big as Lancelot also seemed a little embarrassed when he touched on this topic. However, Kaede didn't mind, and Izumi Sakura was also smiling, they both knew very well that this man was serious when he said this, and this was not the time to add to his distress.

Even people like Gengoro, who don't pursue the blessings of Qi people, have to envy Lancelot's blessings, after all, not everyone is so lucky that they can let two stunning beauties kiss and bless at the same time before the decisive battle.

"Okay! Let's go, I'm going to slaughter the Eight Snakes!"

Whether it is simple or enlightened, Lancelot looks high-spirited, waving the Fenghua knife in his hand, leading Izumi Sakura and Feng'er behind him to fly away.

"Uh...... Everyone is gone, leave me alone, even if you want me to take a good look, you should find a better audience, right?"

The main actors all left the scene, and the Sheter, who had been brought here involuntarily, stood alone on the hill, not knowing what to do.

From this point of view, you can't see the Eight Snakes, but instead of watching the battle of the Eight Snakes up close, Youxue would rather shrink here to save being affected.

"I said it a long time ago, since I can't come in handy, don't bring me here!"

Sitting on the mountain, bored and complaining about the snow in every way, he adopted an indifferent evasion attitude towards the miserable situation in Kyoto below, but he didn't know that Gengoro, who watched his every move, was considering a strategy to include him in tactical considerations.

"Hmph, it seems that the experience of the Kyushu War is repeated, and the most annoying thing is to fight this kind of thing......"

Muttering to himself, his palms wet with sweat could barely hold the cross sword in his hand, Amakusa Shiro looked at the Yaqi Orochi in front of him, who seemed to be in good spirits because he had absorbed a large amount of soul, and couldn't help but feel a sense of exhaustion in his body.

Although he said it very handsomely, he wanted to subdue this unscrupulous apprentice, but it was useless to speak beautifully, because all he could do was to lure it from Kyoto City to the suburbs and minimize casualties.

(After Lu Shen, everyone here will die, what's the use of reducing casualties now, hypocrite!)

Amakusa Shiro repeatedly had such a voice in his heart, and he knew that what he was doing now was meaningless, but he could only do it according to this common sense approach, and because of this, he felt very angry with himself.

At the beginning, he gathered the power of Lancelot, Gengoro, and Oda Xiang, the three strong heavenly masters, and he was not able to defeat the big snake, and now he is alone, and what he can do is naturally more limited, but fortunately, the perfect body of the big snake has not recovered because he left the country of Izumo, otherwise Amakusa Shiro would have been unable to support it for a long time.

"This unscrupulous apprentice ......"

Hideyoshi should be fine, right? The words he said to Ah Xiang were indeed painstaking, but if he was killed by a single shot of the big snake, the damage and eternal bondage to that child would be greater than anything else, and fortunately he had time to stop it.

It's a pity, looking at the serpent's merciless attack, the little ghost must have lost consciousness, right? If she still had self-awareness, she wouldn't let the big snake destroy her home like this, on the other hand, if she still had consciousness, with her usual neat tactics and such strength, she would not be able to support this moment.

With the Cross Holy Sword in hand, his combat power can be said to have increased by one level, but even so, it is far from the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, what tactics should be used to shorten such a gap?

Without time to think, the serpent's flame charge erupted again. After many eruptions, the Eight Miscellaneous Snake has improved its attack mode, and although the flames erupted are scattered, it seems to have martial arts in operation, circling and attacking, making the Amakusa who relies on body techniques and unloading techniques to resist more unfavorable.

"Amakusa, thank you! We're here to help. ”

A figure quickly swept to the left side of the Yachigo Orochi, attracting its attention, it was Niel and Gengoro who were following closely behind. This reinforcement that arrived in time suddenly reduced the pressure on Amakusa Shiro's side, at least he didn't have to dodge in a hurry, and he also had to pay attention to the movements of the other two snakeheads.

"What are you guys going on?" and was not happy to join forces with others, and Amakusa Shiro's expression was particularly displeased.

"Don't say that, we are old friends, and it is proper etiquette to help each other in times of crisis. ”

"What nonsense, who has a friendship with you? It's just two fights, and that's a friendship?"

"Don't you know each other, you don't have a relationship with me, you always have Miss Nier, right? We won't help you, can you handle such a big thing alone?"

Ignoring Shiro Amakusa's opposition, Gengoro and Niel have already fought against the Yachigo Orochi, regardless of the difference in strength, in terms of numbers alone, this can be regarded as a close battle, but not long after the war began, the side of the human alliance quickly fell to the upper hand.

It is impossible to get a steady stream of heaven and earth vitality replenishment like in the vicinity of Kunlun Mountain, but it can use the advanced Heavenly Heart Consciousness to concentrate the power and minimize the energy loss. After the two situations were balanced against each other, the strength of the big snake increased slightly compared to before, but it became very difficult to dodge, even if Gengoro moved quickly, he could only remove fifty percent of his strength and take the other half.

In particular, if a mistransposition is not good, and a fire bomb is hit, when he is busy trying his best to drive out the fire energy entering the body, the big snake will often take advantage of the gap to make up for a frost crystal, and when the left and right sides of the body are attacked by extreme temperature differences, that painful feeling really makes people want to die on the spot.

"It's painful to death, what kind of trick is this? My qi and blood are in a mess, and the Heavenly Demon Skill is about to be unlucky. Nier, who was hit by two blows of ice and fire at the same time, but was fortunately able to get out by Gengoro with Jiuyao's extreme speed, gasped and complained.

"This ...... It's very famous, it should be called the Five Heavens of Ice and Fire, right? Usually hit by this technique, no matter how powerful the strong person is, he will have a convulsion for a while, unable to move. ”

"Is it possible to practice this trick? If you can use it to practice, it must be very cool!"

"A lady wouldn't practice this trick, and more than a trick...... In fact, this trick is more cool. ”

"What does that mean?"

Confused by these strange words that only Bai Wuji could understand, Nier struggled to cope with the attack of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes. After the battle of Kunlun Mountain, she was somewhat accustomed to the attack of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, but she had never been attacked by such ice and fire at the same time, in addition to the body being quite uncomfortable, the lethality caused by the violent temperature difference made her even more miserable.

(From nine heads to three, there are a lot fewer elemental changes, but what is the third one? is it poisonous mist, acid, petrochemical gas, or some secret weapon?)

Compared to the known ice and fire attacks, Gengoro is more concerned about what the attack element of the third head is. During the fierce battle in Kunlun Mountain earlier, the nine heads of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake did not exert their full combat power, and several heads only repeatedly spit out shock waves, and did not match them with elemental attacks.

If this is a known attack element, then although the strength has increased, there is always a contingency pattern that has been figured out, and the most feared thing is that the big snake has hidden some secret weapon, and if it is hastily released, it will be ugly for oneself.

"If your so-called help is only to this extent, then get out of the way and get in my way. ”

With a swing of the Cross Sacred Sword, he cut a path through the flames, and Amakusa Shiro avoided the danger of being attacked by both ice and fire with his superior tactics.

The snake's attack pattern seems to be to first entangle the enemy with strong fire, making them slow to move, and then adding a frost attack to maximize its damage. Seeing through this, Shiro Amakusa would rather use a lot of energy to break through the blockade of the wall of fire, so as not to be hit by two bullets of ice and fire at the same time and pay a greater price.

With the assistance of the divine weapon in his hand, he is indeed qualified to make such a bold statement.

(Well, Amakusa seems to be fighting hard, and with Miss Nill and my cover, the attention of the Eight Snakes should have been attracted.) The opportunity is already there, but it's up to the other side to grasp it and make use of it...... ）

Quite good at doing his duty, Gengoro has no intention of fighting to the death, but takes on their own tasks, each on one side, and completely attracts the eyes of the three heads of the Yachi Orochi.

As a result, when the attention and limbs of the Eight Miscellaneous Snake moved with the target and were pulled to the most scattered point, the person who had been hiding next to him for a long time finally made a move.

Turning into three bolts of lightning, as if it would be too late if it was only a moment too late, Lancelot, Kaede, and Izumi Sakura flew out of the shadows and attacked the connection of the body of the Eight Snakes at the fastest speed.

The situation was really a desperate situation, although Gengoro had already diverted the attention of the big snake, but it was only a fraction of a second, and the three of them were about to become the meeting point of the three snake-headed shockwaves.

Feeling the tremendous power of the ice and fire bomb exploding in the back, the three of them took advantage of the momentum to speed up and rushed straight towards the connection.

The connection of several snakes may be the heart or flaw of the Eight Snakes, which everyone has long thought, but when there are still nine heads of the Eight Snakes, nine different powerful forces protect back and forth, and there are almost no flaws to be found, even a battle maniac like Dolgon does not dare to try this battle that is almost equivalent to self-destruction.

However, when the number of Eight Snakes was reduced from nine to three, this battle plan became feasible, and through the efforts of Gengoro, the three of Lancelot were able to take advantage of the gap and approach the connection of the Orochi's body.

"This is also a tactic? It's too reckless. ”

Amakusa Shiro was startled and frowned. He has extremely rich combat experience, and he has thought about this tactic before, but in addition to the difficulty of breaking through the defense of the big snake, a bigger factor is because this seemingly flawed part, if it is really the heart of the big snake, then the strength of the protective force and the solidity of the scale armor are afraid that they are the crown of the whole body, and it is easy to suffer a big loss if you attack it rashly.

But the evolution of the situation was beyond Amakusa Shiro's prediction, because when the three of Lancelot approached the body of the Great Snake, they suddenly turned into a bright light, dazzling, and shot straight towards the connection of the Great Snake's body.

The serpent roared angrily and opened its mouth to spit out a fireball, but it pierced through the light and shot into the distance with nothing, exploding senselessly.

When the bright light came into contact with the body of the big snake, the entire brightness burned to the highest, as if the entire head of the big snake was covered by the bright light, and together it turned into a huge light source, illuminating everyone's eyes.

And when the light disappeared, the Eight Miscellaneous Snake moved again, attacking Gengoro, and the three of Lancelot were no longer visible.

"It's ...... What the hell are you doing?" Amakusa Shiro was dumbfounded, still unsure of what kind of tactic this was.

"It worked!"

The brother's tactic can succeed in one fell swoop, Niel is also happy, and Gengoro is secretly calling for luck, when Lancelot proposed this tactic to him, he really didn't expect to succeed in one fell swoop.

(If external pressure doesn't work, try to destroy it internally?, it's up to you whether you can succeed or not...... If this plan is not handled well, it will become a two-sided blade that will be attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen

"Head-to-head against the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, what are our chances of winning?"

Before the battle in Kunlun Mountain, this question was repeatedly raised, and after repeated evaluation, it has never been able to get an optimistic answer.

After a comprehensive calculation of several conditions, the hope of winning the Eight Miscellaneous Snake is getting slimmer and slimmer, especially in the battle with a big snake that has been controlled by Tianxin, there is no previous flaw to be found, and the chance of victory is really ......

What Lancelot and Gengoro have the most scruples about is not the Eight Miscellaneous Orochi who has the Heavenly Heart Consciousness, but Oda Xiang, who has the power of the Eight Miscellaneous Orochi. When she blasted Gengoro far away, the two of them still had palpitations in their hearts, although she only appeared for a short time, but if this state could be maintained for a long time...... No, it only takes half a quarter of an hour, and with the combination of such strength, Tianxin Consciousness, and Jiuyao Extreme Speed, it is enough to instantly kill all the masters on Reyns's side.

It was very difficult, but Lancelot believed in one thing.

"My brother-in-law taught me something very important. Lancelot said, "There is absolutely no one in the world who can't be killed." ”

The Eight Miscellaneous Snake is admittedly invulnerable, but there should be other tactics besides a strong attack, and after some thought, Lancelot thought of the answer.

"What that little banshee can do, we should be able to do, right?"

The so-called "we" is directed at Gengoro. Among all the men, the man with the most excellent Heavenly Heart Consciousness, who has the same cultivation of Jiuyao Extreme Speed as Oda Xiang, and who is also a Heavenly Rank Magician, if there is anything that Oda Xiang can do, then he is the most likely person to imitate.

"The reason why Oda Ka can use that kind of spell has a lot to do with her own special life form. ”

"So we didn't want to fight with her for control of the big snake, we just wanted to enter the world of consciousness of the big snake. ”

"Her kind of spell is very dangerous, and if she makes a slight mistake, her consciousness will be swallowed by the big snake, judging from the situation, the reason why she didn't continue to maintain her human form is probably that she can't support it. I speculate that she just gave a few simple instructions to Orochi, go to Kyoto, kill us when she sees us, and other than that, she uses all her consciousness to maintain her Heavenly Heart Consciousness. ”

"We didn't have to do such a difficult thing, although it was a little more difficult to send three people in at a time, but at least it was much safer than climbing into the mouth of the big snake. ”

At Lancelot's insistence, Gengoro also had to nod. Gengoro was a little surprised that Lancelot was able to think of this tactic on his own, but he still prepared the scroll to cast the spell according to his request, and when the three of them came into contact with the connection of the snake's body, they immediately opened the scroll and launched a spell to invade the snake's consciousness.

Oda Ka was most likely invaded by the mouth of the big snake, and thanks to her use of this spell first, when the three of Lancelot cast the same type of spell, they didn't encounter too much resistance from the big snake. The purpose of the three of them is only one, that is, to expel Oda Ka, who controls or is controlled by the big snake, out of the big snake.

Without the Heavenly Heart Consciousness, without the perfect body, without the inexhaustible Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes are not to be feared at all.

The tactic has been successful so far, in fact, as long as Lancelot and the others can play a diversion role, so that Gengoro can take advantage of the gap to remove the last safety device, it will be done, but until then, Gengoro and the others still have to face the crazy attack of the big snake.

On the other hand, through spells, Lancelot, who entered the world of the great snake's consciousness, seemed to be in an empty world with everything up and down, but he didn't feel uncomfortable with Feng'er after spending his trip to the other world.

"Everything in this world is created by the heart, it is a world of willpower, and the eight big snakes have no thoughts, so we think what we want. ”

Grasping this principle, Lancelot moved slightly, and the chaos, which had nothing, immediately appeared on the ground, giving the three of them a place to stand.

"What should I do now, and in which direction should I go to find it?"

Izumi Sakura frowned and looked in all directions, although there was ground, she still couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and she didn't know which direction to go.

"Your luck is not bad, my brother-in-law used to do this kind of practice, and I am also very familiar with this kind of world. Here, there is no point in looking for anything, as long as the other party does not want to be found, and the will is stronger than ours, no matter how long we go in which direction, the road ahead is still endless. ”

One of the reasons Lancelot smiled easily was because of the sudden relief of the pain in his body. It seems that under the influence of the world of consciousness, the curse that Rou Tǐ endured has been suppressed, and not only has it regained its human appearance, but the pain has also disappeared, allowing him to settle down to fight.

"It's necessary to find someone, but you don't have to walk to find it, you have to look for it with your heart. ”

In order to control the big snake, Oda Xiang should have used all her strength, and her whole mind is in a state of defenselessness, in other words, if you find her now, you can solve her without much effort.

Closing his eyes, Lancelot sensed Oda's scent and tried to find her whereabouts. Kaede and Izumi Sakura also team up to search for the location of Oda Ka.

In the end, it was Izumi Sakura's dragon bloodline that prevailed, and she was the first to sense the faint aura.

"Okay, now the three of us work together, concentrate, and pull that little banshee over directly. ”

The plan was very good, but in the end, the three of them were pulled by the other end together, although it was an expected teleportation, but seeing what was in front of him, Lancelot was still taken aback.

It's okay to say that his imagination is not good, Lancelot had expected to see a meditated Oda incense, but what he saw was very different.

Golden snake pupils, snow-white snake scales, the three snake heads of the eight big snakes slowly opened their eyes, and while spitting out the snake letter, their eyes also bloomed with a cold and fierce light.

"Well, we're in the consciousness of the Eight Snakes now...... Encountered the Great Snake ......"

The distance between the two sides is so close, the result of looking at each other is even like an unreal dream......

It wasn't until the familiar sound of inhalation sounded that Lancelot and the others flew back in panic, and they narrowly avoided the high-temperature flames erupting from the big snake.

The matter didn't end there, the serpent inhaled again, and all three heads moved, attacking the three intruders at an alarming speed.

“...... Damn, in this way, there is a great serpent outside, and there is a great serpent inside...... Aren't we being broken by the serpent?"
