The incessant thunder from the top of the hill came to an abrupt halt, and for the next few minutes no sound came from above, and no trees or stones rolled down.

The deathly silence is unsettling.

Immortal Minoru covered his wounds and glanced at Masano Tsukasa, both seeing the uneasiness in each other's eyes.

"Is it over?"

Immortal Chuan frowned, and looked at the steep hill with some expectation, "Why hasn't Genichiro come down yet?" ”

By saying this, he deliberately denied another possibility, namely that Ichiro lost to the other party.

"Maybe he's recovering from his injuries."

Although the thigh that was bitten by the snake limb has grown, he still walks with a slight limp, after all, the recovery effect of a pill is still too limited after all.

He came to the immortal Kawa Minoru and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, look at those two masked people, they look confident." ”

He was comforting himself by saying this.

Hearing this, Immortal Chuan immediately looked at the two lonely shadows, and found that the eyes exposed by the other party were still indifferent, and he couldn't see the slightest worry about the owner.

In fact, as early as the initial invasion of Ashina, the Lone Shadow Clan conducted an investigation into Ashina's de facto ruler, Ashina Koichiro.

The general of the Inner Mansion knew that this man looked gloomy and calm on the surface, but in fact he was a madman who would stop at nothing to defeat the enemy, and he did not have the slightest moral baggage of a samurai.

Especially when it comes to dealing with enemies, Koichiro Ashina never adheres to any principles.

And the fact that he later took it and stole the immortal slash is enough to prove this.

Therefore, the two of them understood that if Ichiro's life was really in danger, he would definitely not hesitate to use the modified ghost king's blood to ensure his survival.

This is also the fundamental reason why they are not worried about each other's safety at all.

As long as that ghost can't kill Koichiro instantly, the latter's life will definitely not be in danger.

"These two guys, standing there without even breathing, make Uncle Ben not sure if they are still alive."

Immortal Chuan did get some comfort from the expressions of the two lonely shadows, but it didn't affect him from complaining viciously.

"Also, what is this woman doing slowly, why don't you ...... it?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen figures coming around from the north side of the mountain, led by Butterfly Chane.

She was holding Kuwajima Jigoro, and the two of them seemed to be saying something very serious, and their faces were very ugly.

"Huh?" Kuano Kuashi suddenly asked in a strange manner, "Look, who is that person next to Chana?" It's so good-looking. ”

After speaking, he glanced at the immortal Kawa Minoru without disdain, "Do you know that person?" Why didn't I know there was such a handsome guy on the team, was it a new member? ”

Immortal Minoru Kawa's already narrow eyes suddenly narrowed.

I have to say, maybe it's because these days the two have been following Yongzhen to learn the two postures of "climbing the carp" and "going down the carp", and in addition to the flower pillar unremittingly enlightening him to value his own value, the relationship between Tomioka Yoshiyoshi and Butterfly Chanae is very close, as if he has found the feeling of getting along with Mako and Rabbit in the past.

Coupled with the fact that he deliberately kept a distance from other unfamiliar team members and hidden people behind him, it seemed that he had a particularly close relationship with Butterfly Chanae......

Immortal Chuan couldn't say what he thought, but his mood visibly became worse.

"At first glance, it's not a great guy." He couldn't help but comment, "That kind of dull eyes, no fighting spirit at all, who knows if he was stupid when he killed ghosts." ”

"Poof." Kuano Kuang hurriedly covered his mouth.

"You're laughing?"

Immortal Minoru turned his head, his eyes looking dangerous.

"You heard me wrong."

Kuano Kuashi said with righteous words, and then hurriedly supported them with his scabbard and greeted them.

"Chana, long time no see."

"yes, it's been a long time."

Butterfly Chanae, although smiling as always, looks a little reluctant.

And when she approached, Masano Kuano keenly smelled a hint of blood, and when she looked closely, she found that except for Kuwajima Jigoro, there were blood stains on the shoes of the group.

But there were no wounded in the ranks.

"What's going on? Are you in any danger on your way here? ”

Kuano Kuashi's expression suddenly became serious.

Immortal Chuan, who was still lying in place with some anger, also stood up.

"What's going on again?"

Seeing that the two of them were covered with wounds that had not yet healed, Butterfly Chanae first took out the pill and gave it to the two of them, and then slowly talked about their previous experience.

"On the way we came, we found the bodies of a group of soldiers, the location is not far from here, and there is still temperature, it should have just died, at most within a few minutes."

The wind and the duo's expressions suddenly became solemn.

"We counted seventeen dead."

Kanae looked into the eyes of the two, "And Mr. Kuwajima said that the soldiers who left here before were exactly seventeen. ”

At this moment, the Fenghu duo finally understood that the group of soldiers they rescued from the mountains as witnesses of ghosts were wiped out.

Butterfly Chanae continued: "And judging from the way their bodies were dumped and the details of their wounds, the seventeen of them should have been slashed by the same ......"

At this point she paused, obviously emphasizing the authenticity of what she saw, "and at the same time cut off her body and died." ”

"What did you say?!"

Immortal Chuan, who was not calm, suddenly became extremely frightened. Kuano Kuang calmed down a little, but his eyelids couldn't stop beating wildly.

Killing seventeen people with one sword?

Unless the seventeen were tied together like firewood, it would not have been possible.

But I also know that the soldiers are lined up when they march, which means that the range of this slash must be extremely wide and the power is extremely terrifying.

Not to mention them, not even the flying blood scythe of the prostitute Taro can't do this.

"When I heard Mr. Kuwajima say that it was Mr. Naruzu who became a ghost this time," Kanae's eyebrows drooped down, looking a little sad, "I guessed that he hadn't left Momoyama yet, after all, he could only cause such a wound, and I am afraid that only him, as a former pillar, could possibly do so." ”

"No, Mr. Naruzu, who has been demonized, doesn't use a sword, and his battle with Ichiro has just ended."

Kuano Kuang shook his head, and then as if he thought of some terrible possibility, his face suddenly turned pale.

"What, what do you think?"

When Immortal Chuan saw Senior Brother like this, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, "Say it quickly?" ”

"I was thinking that when the police found those bodies, they would think of us ghost squads. Obviously, this is another act of blame. ”

Masano expressed his conjecture.

"And when Onimai Tsuji was miserable before, didn't he use a sword when he was studying the Metropolitan Police Department?"

According to their limited knowledge of ghosts, there have been records of injuring people with swords recently, and I'm afraid that only Onimai Tsuji is not miserable!

"It's not unusual at all that he's been watching everything from the neighborhood to see everything around, considering that this matter has been his conspiracy from beginning to end," added Hiroshi. ”

After listening to Kuano Kuang's speculation, everyone immediately felt that it was very possible.

It was the people who led the army to Momoyama and fed Naruto with blood, and perhaps from the very beginning, this matter was to provoke the cabinet's conspiracy to harshly target the demon killing team.

This would also explain why soldiers who survived were killed.

"Not good!"

Immortal Minoru Kawa suddenly shouted, "Ichiro! ”

He looked flustered and said, "The battle on the mountain has been over for so long, but Genichiro hasn't shown up yet, will he meet that guy......"

After all, Onimai Tsuji Muru seems to have the ability to appear next to any oni (corpse) out of thin air.

Last time, the immortal Minoru Kawa experienced the weirdness and strength of that guy firsthand.

Even if he is ten times stronger now, he will not have the power to resist again.

"Quick! Fast! Go up the hill quickly. ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart anymore, completely ignoring the injuries that were slowly recovering, picked up the knife and rushed towards the mountain in a row using the Ichizhi shape, obviously a little out of proportion.

After the two lone shadows glanced at each other, they noticed a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes, so they followed closely behind.

After Butterfly Chanae simply arranged the work with the ordinary team members and the hidden tribes, she asked Tomioka Yoshito to set off with Masashi Mino, who had difficulty moving.

Presumably, after the summit, Masano Tsuno's injuries should be able to heal.

Hold on, Ichiro.

……

In fact, although the matter is not as serious as they think, it is not far off.

From the moment the unfamiliar voice outside the house sounded, Koichiro felt that the temperature that had been a little warm due to the mountain fire suddenly cooled down.

The voice was steady and slow, and it could even be said that it was very polite, and the tone was not hostile, but even Genichiro Reina, who had slashed hundreds of lives and was a daimyo of a country, couldn't help but feel as if a cold hand was pinching his internal organs.

He knew exactly what that feeling meant.

That means that whoever that guy is, can easily take his life. This feeling has allowed him to survive from strong enemies dozens of times, and he is very trustworthy.

Who is it? 】

Ichiro's face was expressionless, but the turbulent waves had already turned in his mind.

[Is it Onimai Tsuji no miserable? No, the other party's tone is too polite, and Onimai Tsuji is a very rampant and rude guy. 】

[Then, it is estimated that only the top few winding ghosts will give people this feeling......]

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and as he stepped out of the kitchen with his left foot, he immediately took out a piece of modified ghost king blood, as well as a Yaksha candy, and placed it in the inner lining of his cuffs.

If the other party wanted to kill him, he would not hesitate to drink the bottle of ghost king's blood and fight against him.

Anyway, it's not the first time he's not a man.

If he wants to get his grandfather back, he must ensure his survival!

When Ichiro walked out of the kitchen, he immediately spotted the uninvited guest standing five meters away.

At first glance, he suddenly felt a little familiar—without it, the other party's dress was obviously the attire of a samurai of the Warring States period, hinting at the long years he had experienced. It's a very old ghost.

[Are you the same era as me?] 】

The ghost wears a purple tunic with snake scales, and the lower body is a hakama worn by high-ranking samurai who fight in battle.

The long knife he carried at his waist proved his identity as a swordsman.

[Is it the Ghost Slayer Pillar that has become a ghost again?] 】

Ichiro guessed.

"Is it finally out? Is...... Nice guts. ”

The guy slowly raised his head while saying the words of praise, revealing a face that was indescribable, and the words "winding" and "one" verified his guess.

"Especially considering your age, reminds me...... Something unpleasant. ”

The moment a person and a ghost looked at each other, Ichiro felt a dark and deep dignity in the red and yellow eyes of the other party, and the other party mercilessly handed him a cold killing intent.

The killing intent struck Koichiro's body, and he involuntarily stopped breathing, and the cold hands that had held his internal organs clenched suddenly.

Originally, he was just expressionless, but his face was already pale, and a fishy sweet breath rose in his throat, and he almost fell to his knees and vomited.

At this moment, he seemed to return to the day when he was on the hillside and saw his parents being dragged out of the house and killed by the samurai of the inner house......

Fear and anger mingled like two wrestling dragons pounding in his chest, forcing his heart to beat wildly.

All the bad memories came to mind all of a sudden.

It was when he was almost beheaded by the other party's companion after avenging his parents.

It was at the castle tower that the wolf who had only glanced at the ancient painting returned the thunderbolt and stabbed it in the heart.

It was in the reed field, when I listened to the screams and wails of my soldiers in the flames, and crushed the immortal slash on the neck.

[After all, I still can't achieve anything......]

A sad voice sounded in Genichiro's heart, and all the despair and fear surged from the deepest part of his memory at the same time, almost encroaching on Ichiro's original consciousness, which was also the original intention of Black Death.

This trick is actually a blood ghost technique that he rarely uses, and he doesn't even have a name. Considering himself a samurai, he rarely uses tricks other than swordsmanship, and this time is a rare accident.

Whenever he saw such a genius swordsman, Black Death Mou would unconsciously have the idea of strangling the other party, so that the other party could no longer hold a sword - at least not as a human being.

In his vision of the world, he could see through all the muscles and blood vessels of Genichiro, and naturally he could see the heart beating wildly, and the blood that suddenly accumulated in the brain.

Although it was a bit despicable to do this to a little imp who was less than ten years old, he couldn't control himself, and almost subconsciously passed on the terrifying murderous aura, and he didn't intend to withdraw.

Before the age of ten, he can kill an evil ghost comparable to the Nest Seat, and if such a genius survives, it is very likely that he will become another successor.

He would never allow anyone like that to come up again! Onimai Tsuji will not allow it either.

He wants to completely destroy this child's will! Then, when he was collapsing, he was fed blood.

However, just as Ichiro's stagnant blood was about to burst open his blood vessels, an unexpected change occurred.

"Achievement......" Ichiro suddenly regained his breath and muttered to himself, "Achievement, what should be done." ”

“？”

Even if Black Death Mou had six eyes, he didn't understand what was happening, but he felt that the temperament of the young man in front of him had suddenly changed, from a small boat that was about to be broken into pieces by the waves, to a black-armored warship that knocked on the door of the country.

[I'm Genichiro Reedina......]

[I must not fall until I rebuild my name. 】

[I haven't seen my grandfather again......]

[I haven't seen Kurou grow up yet......]

[I haven't fought that pesky wild dog again!] 】

Countless obsessions rose with anger hidden deep in his heart, and only then did Koichiro remember that he was no longer the child who watched his home destroyed and could not do anything about it.

[I am the grandson of Ashina Isshin.] 】

[I can't achieve my goal, even the Hell Yellow Spring has to wait for the Reeded Monarch twice. 】

A power that could only be found in that war-torn era erupted from Genichiro.

Black Death Mou's eyes flickered, as if he saw a Warring States general who was as tall as him, wearing a golden hood and carrying a huge horned bow.

Just when the upper string was slightly stunned, Ichiro had already regained his footing, and the Nihon Tie Liuyun slowly pulled out the scabbard.

"I'm Ei Kanichiro."
