Ten minutes ago.

Ichiro leads two lone shadows through the rooftops and branches of Tokyo City, relying on his light body to drive along a straight line, even Ubisoft's Assasin can only sigh to themselves.

When the three of them arrived at the foot of Momoyama, many residents of the town were trying to escape from Arakawa Ward in groups, causing the intersection to Asakusa to be crowded and congested for a while.

The police blocked the intersection, howling and waving batons to maintain order, but in a short time they were completely overwhelmed by the surging crowds, and it was clear that people had been frightened by the strange green fire and just wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong.

Among them, many people stood high in the crowd and loudly preached all kinds of mysterious statements that were difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, saying that it was entrepreneurs who were building factories in Arakawa Ward and destroying the environment, thus attracting the wrath of the mountain gods.

Driven by fear and instigated by well-intentioned people, the entire area was completely chaotic, and even many angry civilians poured into the nearby factories to smash and loot in an attempt to quell the fire in a metaphysical way.

Many of the workers who have been squeezed for a long time are leading the way.

Therefore, the green flame on the mountain has not been extinguished, and the yellow flame in the factory is burning again, and the two flames complement each other, and after the violent explosion sounds, people suddenly become more crazy and impatient, and I don't know how many ordinary people were trampled to death in the crowd.

All kinds of contradictions that are too hidden in the city are now bursting out in the harshest way. And the initiators probably never thought that such a thing would happen.

[I'm really curious, after this kind of thing, how will the cabinet explain to these civilians......]

Ichiro looked at everything that was happening in front of him with cold eyes, and secretly looked for an opportunity to take advantage of it.

[How can Onimai Tsuji hide his existence? ] 】

After thinking for a moment, he said to one of the lone shadows, "You write a letter and give it to the ninja dog to take to the snack shop." Let the Yamauchi Norizen faction spread the word among the people that all this was caused by the Cabinet's connivance with evil spirits. In addition, the political value of these civilians was not enough, so he sent people with explosives to destroy the important machinery of those factories, and only when they suffered serious losses would those entrepreneurs follow to put pressure on the cabinet. ”

"Yes." The lone shadow immediately caused the ninja dog to get busy.

At this time, another of the Lone Shadow Crowd looked at the green flames chasing each other on the mountain and sighed, "If this fire continues to burn, I'm afraid the entire city of Tokyo will be destroyed." If it doesn't rain, I don't know how to put out this fire. ”

There's nothing wrong with him.

Although there are many new Western-style buildings in the city, most of them are quite flammable wooden houses, such as those in the whole of Yoshiwara, and the distance between the houses is quite crowded, and if one of them catches fire, the surrounding area will not be spared.

If the fire continues to spread, there will be no problem in burning down at least half of Tokyo overnight.

Suddenly, the three of them felt like they were dreaming back to the Warring States period-

At that time, the two countries were at war and burned the city and destroyed the wall, and once the fire was lit, it could only wait for it to extinguish itself.

This is true of the Great Fire of Hirata and the flames of the defeat of Ashina. It is simply impossible to contain a fire of this magnitude by watering it by manpower.

"It doesn't matter."

Ichiro said with a blank face, "This fire should be caused by blood ghost magic, as long as you kill that ghost, the flame will lose its source of power." ”

"The problem now is that we have to find a way up the mountain."

He opened the old hunter's notes and found that the locations of both of the two of them were shown to be within Momoyama.

However, the road up the mountain in front of him had been engulfed in flames, and the fallen trees were like a thorny barrier that spewed green flames, blocking the mountainside, allowing no one to pass through it.

【…… Those two guys can't be trapped in the mountains. 】

But the question is, where did they get up from? 】

Just as Ichiro was thinking about whether to risk the Buddha candy and fire extinguishing powder to break into the fire, an old man with a wooden stick broke into his sight at the end of the town at the foot of the mountain.

Unlike the other onlookers, who were staring at the wildfire, the old man looked out toward the town's main road, as if anxiously awaiting someone to arrive.

After looking at the other party carefully, Shinichiro found that although the other party had a broken leg, he was tall and tall, with sharp eyes and quite strong.

However, at the moment, the old man's clothes and head seemed to be stained with blood, and he looked gray and embarrassed.

[Did you come down from the mountains?] 】

Combined with everything that existed, Koichiro immediately made a reasonable assumption.

[There are blood stains on the body but no wounds, it should be the former Ming Zhu who has been treated before. 】

"Go over there."

He greeted, and the hook lock in his left hand suddenly stretched out twenty meters long, hooking a dead tree at the end of the road, and his body landed right in front of Sang Dong Ci Goro, and the two lone shadows followed closely behind.

The old man almost instinctively felt the slaughter and indifference coming from the lonely shadows, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously thought of the shogunate ninja he had seen when the curtain fell, his face showed a little vigilant, and his hand subconsciously grabbed his waist but grabbed Kazuku, and then remembered that his Hinawa knife was not on his body.

That kid is really not a thing, even the old man's Nichiren knife has been taken away!

Guiding him to see that the leader was still young, the old man was a little relieved.

"You must be Mr. Kuwajima."

Without waiting for Kuwajima Jigoro to speak, Genichiro directly explained his identity, "I'm Ei Senichiro, you may have heard my name." ”

"Huh?"

Of course, the old man had heard of this name, after all, at least two of the deaths of Xia Xian were related to him, and the magic drugs that were equipped for the team members were also provided by the family of this person named "Wei Ming".

However, according to the information he received, the child should have been only nine years old.

But the height of the teenager in front of him ...... It is said that people are thirteen or fourteen years old.

Seeing the obvious suspicion in his eyes, Genichiro didn't say anything, just summoned the sun wheel iron flowing cloud, and pulled out a dark golden blade, revealing the words "Demon Extermination" above the blade.

Kuwajima Jigoro was a little stunned for a moment, he had not yet seen the technique of drawing a knife from the air.

However, with the discolored blade and the four Chinese characters of "Demon Extermination" on it, it is definitely a good pillar-level treasure knife made by the Swordsmith Village.

However, that touch of gold on the blade should mean ......

This kid is a good fit for Thunder's Breath.

Thinking of this, the old man's eyes flashed, he didn't expect to find a possible successor so quickly, and his expression suddenly softened.

Seeing this, Koichiro continued, "Mr. Kuwajima, I know that you should have already met the two of you, Minoru Immortal Kawa and Masashi Isono. They were my friends, and I came here to see the fire and worry about what danger they were in. Can you tell me what happened on the mountain? ”

At the end, he couldn't help but lick his lower lip, "With such a big momentum, could it be that a winding ghost has appeared?" ”

He couldn't help but look forward to the special rewards he might get from killing the Winding Ghost.

If you kill a winding ghost with a sword, will you optimize the prize pool and bring your grandfather back directly from the Yellow Spring?

"Winding ghost?" Mr. Kuwashima didn't understand why he saw a fleeting hint of excitement in the child's eyes.

But when he mentioned the ghost, he couldn't help but feel down, "I'm ashamed to say that the family is unfortunate, that ghost is actually the old man's apprentice." ”

So, he simply finished the whole story in a few words.

Although Genichiro was not a member of the Demon Slayer Squad, he carried a knife that belonged to the pillar, so the old man did not treat him as an outsider, and the old man did not hide the humiliating actions that he had done.

“……”

After hearing all this, Genichiro's expression became a little cloudy.

Part of what happened to Mitsugaku is so similar to him.

He was also an orphan living on the streets, led away by an old man who practiced swords, and was trained as an heir.

However, he tried his best to protect the country that his grandfather had once conquered, but because he was unknown, he easily poisoned his master.

He also turned his senior brother, who was a pillar, into the evil ghost he hated the most.

This kind of behavior is enough to cause both physical and psychological discomfort to anyone.

Whenever Ichiro feels a little ashamed of his unscrupulous means, a more disdainful presence appears, making him feel good about himself all of a sudden; It turns out that I am still a good person.

The owl is like that, the ghost dance Tsuji is like that, and this Midai is also like that.

"If Mr. Naruto becomes a ghost, do you know what he can do?"

Adhering to the basic principle of the supremacy of intelligence, Koichiro intends to gather as much information as possible.

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes...... I've seen the kid turn into a ghost, so I don't know very well. ”

Kuwajima Jigoro's voice was a little choked.

"But there have been cases where swordsmen have turned into ghosts. Generally speaking, after a swordsman becomes a ghost, their breathing method and sword type will be retained in the form of blood ghost magic, and their power will become more powerful. ”

"In that case, this ghost still understands the breath of thunder?"

Ichiro's eyes lit up, and he felt as if he had found the possibility of a breathing method for white prostitutes. He was originally a person who didn't think he knew much, and besides, he thought that he was quite compatible with the attributes of thunder and lightning.

And as long as this ghost is slaughtered, and then let it teach the Reeds and the Lonely Shadows the Thunder Breath in the hallway......

Wouldn't there be a few more pillars under his command?

"You can't be wrong. When I left the mountain, I saw a lot of lightning strikes on the surrounding trees, which were probably the ones that caused the fire. ”

Kuwajima Jigoro nodded, and then reminded, "But after you go up, try not to fight that ghost, as long as you don't let him run out of Momoyama...... With only the three of you, I'm afraid it's hard to be his opponent, so it's better to wait for the other pillars to besiege him. After all, any pillar becomes a ghost, at least it has the power to wind up. ”

Kuwajima Jigoro hadn't seen Kamizune with his own eyes, after all, the last time the demon slayer team killed Kamiyu was a hundred years ago.

According to records, at that time, the ghost killing team dispatched a full five pillars, and it took until dawn to solve the other party.

So he prefers to overestimate the strength of this ghost as much as possible.

"You've overdone it, Mr. Kuwajima."

However, after listening to his answer, Genichiro unexpectedly showed unprecedented confidence, "As long as he still uses the Thunder Breath, I have a way to deal with him, and I should be able to deal with him soon." ”

Ever since he was eighteen years old, he has been learning to fight and manipulate thunder and lightning.

And those are thunder and lightning, not simulated by breathing and blood ghost magic, but the real Brilliant Heavenly Might.

If this ghost's ability is really to manipulate thunder and lightning or something like that, then in front of Genichiro, his strength will at least have to be discounted.

What's more, Genichiro also has a large number of secret weapons prepared on him to weaken the enemy.

He doesn't have to be stronger than his opponent, it just needs that his opponent is weaker than him.

But it is conceivable that when he said this, Kuwajima Jigoro, who was the former Ming Zhu, suddenly became annoyed.

"What do you mean by that?" His blood-stained brow squeezed down fiercely, "Are you looking down on our Thunder Breath swordsman?" ”

Obviously, I just wanted to ask this kid if he was interested in the breath of thunder!

As a result, what did he say, as long as it was the breath of thunder, there must be no problem!

The child's tone was a little too big.

Knowing that he had lost his words, Genichiro immediately took his leave, and led the two lonely shadows around to the southern slope path pointed out by the old man, leaving the old man standing in place in anger and scolding.

As the three of them were walking up the steep path, they heard a series of thunderbolts and explosions not far away, and their speed increased sharply.

When they reached the top of the mountain, they saw the immortal Minoru Kawa being knocked out by the demon's snake limbs.

The two lone shadows glanced at each other, and they all took out the immortal peak temple monk from their bodies and developed an enemy-attracting potion and threw it out.

It was a ghost-fighting anesthetic mixed with the thin blood of the Immortal River and the wisteria flower liquid, and once it broke, it would quickly evaporate!

Sure enough, although this evil ghost has the strength to wind up, but he has just been transformed, but he has no resistance to thin blood, almost unexpectedly, drunk as if he could not stand steadily, and the wisteria flowers that were sucked into his body made his legs and feet weak, and he fell to the ground one by one.

Knowing that he would soon break free from his drunkenness like a prostitute Taro who was accustomed to thin blood, Genichiro took advantage of the other party's fall to the ground, pulled out the Gatling he had captured from the wolf, and fired at the demon in a continuous manner, preventing the other party from continuing to approach the Immortal River.

The bullet was painted with a special poison developed by Butterfly Shinobi to immobilize the prostitute Taro siblings, so with each bullet hit, the demon would lose control of the nearby muscles and skin.

Gradually, he also found that this feeling became more and more obvious, so before his whole body was completely paralyzed, he rolled his almost stiff body down the stairs, and soon got out of the most effective shooting range of the bullet, until he rolled into the raging flames and disappeared, apparently already hiding, desperately trying to dissolve the toxins in his body.

Ichiro shoved the hot machine gun back into the shadows and instructed the two lone shadows, "Take them all down the mountain, and I'll deal with him alone." ”

With that, he turned on his vision and pursued it towards the place where the large black mist gathered.
