Chapter 12: I'm a boss

Genichiro, who is known for his majesty and depth (facial paralysis), looked at the Hinawa knife in his hand that was knocked out by the aquatic weeds, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

What a disappointment, what a disappointment!

He originally thought that this kind of Nichiren Knife, which used the "Orangutan Crimson Iron", would at least not be worse than his Vajra Iron Summoning Thunder, if not comparable to the immortal slash that restrained the power of the dragon.

After all, Murata once said that the skin of a ghost is as hard as iron!

A sword that can cut through iron must be very hard.

But Koichiro didn't expect that this Nichiren knife would become like this after only one attack.

Although the strength of the water grass is not weak, it is enough to compare with the shuriken thrown by the wolf.

But only once!

"What are you doing with that strange expression? Is it rejoicing? ”

The water ghost grinned, and the water plants all floated up, swaying in mid-air, windless and automatic, as if provocative.

"Although I didn't expect a little imp like you to be able to take it down. But my hair is so strong that you can't even hold a knife now. ”

Ichiro didn't speak, just twisted his wrist slightly, and used Ashina's heart to teach him to breathe yang on his torso to relieve the limb paralysis caused by the resistance just now.

The water ghost guessed correctly.

This inferior sword, coupled with Genichiro Shoichiro's current strength is less than about 1/5 of his heyday, and after receiving this attack from Mizukasa, he can barely feel that he still has a weapon in his hand.

From the fingers holding the knife to the forearm holding the knife, he still trembles slightly, as if there are tiny insects swimming in the blood vessels of this area.

The reason why I can still hold a knife is probably because I am so paralyzed that it becomes difficult to even release my fingers.

He now finally understood what the so-called torso value meant in the game.

In addition to the fatigue of the body during the battle, there is also repeated knife fighting, which causes the arm to be paralyzed, so that it is impossible to use the weapon at all, so it will reveal the flaw and be killed by the wolf ninja.

If Genichiro could see his torso groove at this time, then just after receiving an attack from the water ghost, his yellow bar would have risen by more than that.

[The disparity between the power of humans and ghosts, will the gap be so big? 】

Faintly, Ichiro felt that he had come to fight the ghost so recklessly, and it seemed to be a wrong decision.

[If you continue like this, even if you can block the water weed, this knife will break......]

[What's more, the water and grass are dense, and it is impossible to block everything. 】

Feeling that the sensation in his hands was slowly recovering, Ichiro couldn't help but think of what he had said to Masataka Onita when he was drinking.

"That general of the inner government named Tamura is really powerful! If it were an ordinary sword, it would not be able to withstand even a blow from a scythe. If you want to fight him with your strength, I'm afraid you have to at least have the size of this guy. ”

"But the reason why I was able to kill him is because no matter how much strength he exerts, I can see exactly where the weak point of the gun head is, like an owl, and then give him back the strength as it is!"

Combined with the language of the game, this so-called "return" is naturally the so-called flick knife.

However, at Ashina's time, Genichiro had a strong physical advantage over most people, and he didn't consider this technique at all. As long as he attacks frantically and continuously, without giving the enemy a chance to breathe, few people will be able to counterattack.

I never thought that I would turn back into a child.

I can't use my original moves, and I can't use my new ninja moves at all.

He felt like he had fallen into an awkward situation.

[I haven't learned the essence of grandpa's kendo at all, I really have yours ah Ichiro ......]

[What happened to me at this time is very similar to the wolf who met me in the grass. 】

[It's hardly a one-in-one enemy! 】

[Since you can't stay on the defensive for a long time, you must quickly approach this ghost to find an opportunity, otherwise you can only be beaten passively! 】

Ichiro stared at the water ghost's hair, his eyes were deep, but his body moved as he said.

"Oh, do you want to break the jar?"

Seeing that Ichiro was swinging to the right with the knife in both hands, and actually rushed straight towards him as if he was going to die, a sarcastic smile appeared in the water ghost's eyes, "I originally wanted to play a little more, but since you are so anxious to send him to death, then your viscera, I will accept it unceremoniously!" ”

As he spoke, the aquatic plants on his head were swaying, like poisonous snakes that had found their prey, and they rushed towards Genichiro, as if they wanted to separate themselves from each other.

However, the water ghost did not expect that Genichiro's current height was really very short.

Before his chest was about to be pierced by the aquatic plants, Genichiro suddenly became short and brushed shoulders with these aquatic plants.

He actually stuck directly to the ground, and quickly slid towards the water ghost with a movement trajectory diametrically opposed to that of the water weeds!

Ichiro's crow haori had only been worn for less than an hour before it broke.

So much so that the three monkeys in his yukata were forced to start moving in case they became homeless.

【Success!】 】

[This is Kuro's ninja who slips into the grass while sneaking! ] 】

Although Genichiro's movements were not up to standard, he managed to dodge a completely water ghost's frontal attack, creating an opportunity for his own attack.

Just when the water ghost showed a slightly surprised look, Koichiro used his foot to exert his strength, slammed the brakes about a meter in front of the water ghost, and then turned over and jumped like an agile monkey, and spun his knife in the air like a dolphin jumping out of the water.

Combined with jumping and spinning, to increase the striking power of the attack, this is the basic idea of Baliu swordsmanship.

Whether it's a pontoon boat or a vortex cloud, it's just an upgraded version of a spinning jump!

It's just a difference in amplitude.

Today's Genichiro is not physically fit enough to use a complete flying pontoon, but it should be enough to use only the first sword!

[Die! 】

From left to right, the Nihon Wheel Knife drew a bright arc in the moonlight, and it was about to cut into the neck of the water ghost, which was hidden under the layers of aquatic plants.

According to Murata, at night, the ghost only has the obvious weakness of the neck.

However, the imaginary scene of the head flying does not appear.

Ichiro didn't expect that his confident slash this time only cut off a few layers of aquatic plants on the other side, and then stopped.

The Nichiren knife was stuck less than two centimeters from the neck, but it could not make any progress.

The stickiness of this force that could no longer be exerted was like the sword that would get stuck on the soft turf when Genichiro first started his sword training.

But he wouldn't make that basic mistake anymore.

[No, how can the toughness of this hair be so strong? 】

[To be able to attack as quickly as you just now, it stands to reason that it should be very hard and brittle!] 】

Surprised, Genichiro's body also stopped in mid-air in a strange attitude.

It's like a silhouette before a full action is completed.

"I didn't expect that."

The face of the water ghost, which was only less than half a meter away from Genichiro at this time, had a gray-green face covered with algae and wet moss, and its yellow eyes were bloodshot, like twisted earthworms, but it was full of playful looks.

"In order to easily catch prey on the water without getting sunlight during the day, I have put a lot of thought into this hair."

A piece of aquatic grass slowly came to Genichiro, and then shrank as if it had been squeezed, and then a little transparent viscous liquid was squeezed out of it, and in the process of dripping on the ground, a long filament was pulled, and its viscosity can be imagined.

Ichiro suddenly understood.

"Even a sleek dolphin can't break free of my hair."

"A soft slash like yours can cut off a few of them, it's enough to be proud!"

As he spoke, several aquatic plants swooped out, penetrating Genichiro's body at close range, and hanging Genichiro directly in front of the water ghost like a string of chicken wings.

"I've seen a lot of Nichiren knives, but unfortunately not every knife is of good quality."

"After all, blacksmiths have different skills!"

The water ghost smiled and flicked the blade of the Nihon Wheel Knife with his fingertips, and the latter made a crisp sound, and immediately a small gap appeared, "However, I'm not just some garbage, with a handful of Nihon Knives, you can be easily decapitated!" Thanks to Fujita, I've eaten a full 18 people's organs this month alone! ”

As its words fell, the weeds that had penetrated Koichiro's upper body suddenly pulled out, and blood suddenly flowed out of the wound.

Koichiro finally fell from mid-air, and then fell to the ground weakly, the pain so severe that he almost blinded him on the spot.

And the Hinakura knife was still stuck in the water ghost's hair like it had just done, like some kind of weird collectible.

"Hey, little ghost, do you know what eighteen people are?"

The water ghost said in a frantic voice as he raised the barrel of the cannon high, resembling a Taro soldier holding a vajra rod in Senboji Temple.

"That's some of the lower string ghosts, the amount they can't eat in a year!"

The barrel of the cannon whirred through a huge semicircle and swung towards Genichiro.

If you are hit, even if you don't die on the spot, you will definitely break your bones and bones.

【Absolutely! Can't be hit! 】

This was the only thought on his mind, and if his arm was broken, he might not even be able to take medicine.

In the eyes of the eagles and Fujita Emasa, who were watching the battle, they only heard a loud sound of "dang", and Ichiro was thrown out by the barrel and fell into the water five or six meters away, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Shouldn't you go check it out?"

Fujita Emasa looked at the people who were still standing quietly beside him suspiciously.

Even if it is a cow, if it is smashed like this, it is estimated that it will be more auspicious.

This masked guy wasn't nervous at all.

A mouthful of "Ichiro-sama", did you actually stand here and watch this child die?

There are more and more strange things these years.

The eagles opened their mouths coldly, and actually said in unison with the water ghost: "The voice is not right!" ”

When it hits a person's flesh, how can it make a "dang" sound?

It was a crashing sound that is characteristic of metal.

On the other side, on the body of Genichiro lying in the water, there was a strange emerald green light, as if there were hundreds of fireflies greeting and comforting him.

"What's going on?"

When Fujita Masae saw the strange scene, his eyes shrank slightly, "Aren't you people either?" ”

The eagles were silent for a moment before replying, "We are reed celebrities. ”

That medicine should be the last one.

If Ichiro-sama still can't solve this ghost next, then he'll take him away with him.

You must protect your master, this is the precept of the eagles.

A few seconds passed, and the string ichiro in the water also slowly stood up with the King Kong Iron Summoning Thunder summoned at the last moment.

Thanks to this binding weapon that can be summoned at any time, it can block the exaggerated attack of this water ghost with a hard hit.

Despite this, the disparity in strength left Koichiro seriously injured.

His somewhat deflated intercostal space was now gradually returning to its original state under the shroud of green light.

That's right, Genichiro still took the medicine.

[Medicine: A pill that slowly restores vitality. It is a secret medicine that has been passed down since ancient times in the land of Ashina, and it is recorded that this medicine has been used in ancient wars, showing the world that Ashina has an unfailing status. 】

"I didn't expect that I would be unfavorably disadvantaged and almost die at the hands of you."

"It was my mistake to come here without doing a good investigation."

"This is the medicine used by our celebrity Wei to fight with the Shijiamei clan, but I didn't expect that when I met a ghost today, it also saved my life."

The green light quickly stopped, and even the wound that had been pierced by a few aquatic plants was repaired.

If it weren't for the few blood stains left on his clothes, he wouldn't have believed that he had been seriously injured before.

Despite some struggle, in the absence of the Hinawa Sword, Genichiro still raised his old comrade-in-arms, King Kong Iron Summoning Thunder, the sword that had killed hundreds of soldiers and robbers in the Inner Palace.

"You ......"

The extinguishing of the strange green light did not make the water ghost let down his guard.

Whether it was the other party's means of recovering from his injuries, or the sudden appearance of the knife in the other party's hand, it made the water ghost feel a little ominous.

The methods used by this guy in front of him are too weird.

When even this ghost thinks it's unscientific, it's a big problem.

"Who the hell are you?"

Ichiro didn't speak, but just made a decision, took a small box from his belt and opened it in front of the water ghost.

The water ghost looked over curiously, and inside was a caviar-like red sphere, exuding a slightly fishy smell.

[Red Beads: After taking it, it will turn into a red round with red eyes. If you turn into a red eye, you will not be easily afraid of enemy attacks. This red circle is a relic of a person whose wish has not been fulfilled, and when you touch it, you will feel the pulse of warmth. 】

After the death of Isshina and fell into a desperate situation, he took the improved transformation of the Taoist policy like Ichiro, but the vast majority of people did not have the perseverance of Ichiro, so they became red-eyed monsters who did not distinguish between friend and foe, marking the complete failure of Ashina's desperate heresy to save the country.

And Chi Chengzhu is the relics left behind by the red-eyed reeds when they killed them, which should be the stones produced by taking the water.

And the protection of this insignificant country is exactly what they would rather give up as a human being, but also to achieve it.

"So, what's that?!"

As he sniffed the smell of the red beads, the water spirit's eyes widened sharply, staring at the lump of things.

There's something he craves, or rather, the ghost king's blood in his body, that he craves.

"That's my hope of overcoming you."

Ichiro swallowed Chi Chengzhu in between, and two big blood-red characters immediately lit up on his body - Akame.

Almost at the same time, the sanity in his eyes vanished, replaced by two horrific scarlet lights that terrified the ghosts.

"Now, it's time to answer your previous question."

"I'm Ei Kanichiro."

Stringichiro once again took a stance, his hands firmly holding the golden steel thunder of his height across his chest, without the slightest feeling of lack of strength.

"It's a boss."
