Chapter 135: Autumn Leaves
"Killing stones?"
Not only the police officers around Nijo Castle, but even the big people sitting behind the screen were taken aback by the name.
The Killing Stone is not an obscure thing, and it can be said that as long as you are a native of Japan, you will not be unfamiliar with this name.
Legend has it that this is the body of the great monster Tamamo before and after his death and resentment, and the poisonous gas emitted will kill everything that has life around it, so it is called the 'Killing Stone'.
But why did the Killing Stone appear in Nijo Castle? And the legend says that the killing stone was not destroyed by the monk Xuan Weng?
"Phew! The legend of bullshit! Where does the killing stone look like a poisonous stone? I think it's a demagogic stone, and it's pretty much the same! Iwamoto scolded.
The transcendent battle that finally stopped for a moment immediately restarted after the appearance of this so-called killing stone, and this time compared to before, I don't know how many times the momentum was greater, before it was just a few transcendents fighting each other, and now it is a chaotic battle of more than a hundred remaining transcendentals!
The sky was even more brilliant than the fireworks show, and all kinds of colorful and strange yin and yang spells collided enthusiastically in the sky, and those samurai who were dressed like scared children seemed to have begun to compare whose broadswords were longer, and the silver-white sword light brushed around in the sky.
But in a moment, there were more than a dozen blooming blood flowers in the sky, and there were no corpses left.
"It's crazy!" Looking at the crazy expressions of those transcendents after the camera was stretched, the little policemen hiding below trembled.
The blood in the eyes of those transcendents was almost clear to them from so far away, and the color that was the same as the blood glow of the Killing Stone reminded them that these transcendents had been affected by the Killing Stone.
It's no wonder that these transcendents suddenly became so crazy, could they all be controlled by the killing intent of the Killing Stone?
Iwamoto and Kazuya Yagyu rubbed their eyes in fear, worried that they would also be controlled by the killing stone.
But soon they found themselves unaffected except to look at everything red.
"Phew! The bullshit killing stone even discriminates. ”
Obviously I should be glad to be right.,But Iwamoto still feels a little dissatisfied.,Usually it's treated differently in the headquarters.,I didn't expect that now I even know how to treat a stone differently.。
Clusters of 'fireworks' burst into the sky, and you can see almost half of Kyoto's urban area at night, so if you don't know, you really think that Nijo-jo Castle is holding a fireworks festival.
"What do we do now?"
Yanagi Kazuya also asked a little nervously, although it is a special countermeasure police, but the Kyoto headquarters has not dealt with any supernatural events before today, and it is really a little numb to face this kind of existence that is difficult for manpower to reach.
"Stay here, the transcendent battle doesn't matter to us, we just need to record the information about the killing stone and who will grab it in the end."
Although these transcendents have been affected by the Killing Stone, the fact that it can be snatched by so many transcendents shows that it must have the meaning of being scrambled, at least not as simple as the legendary 'poisonous stone that emits poisonous gas'.
It's best to be able to figure out the purpose of these transcendents snatching the Killing Stone, and then make a note of who ultimately snatched the Killing Stone.
If the Killing Stone is useful, then wait for their transcendent to come and grab it, and if it doesn't work, destroy it!
Anyway, in the face of this group of transcendental people who are not up or down, the special department, which is in an advantageous position in terms of intelligence and strength, has the capital to dispose of at will.
At this moment, it is not just the two of them, there are more than a dozen cameras around Nijo Castle, including other special countermeasures police, which are aimed at Nijo Castle.
The blood-colored mist that rose up in the two cities gathered in the sky, and a thick blood-colored sphere gradually formed, and the almost substantial blood color made people seem to be able to smell a pungent smell of blood just by looking at it.
With the blood-colored sphere as the center, a rich blood-colored color swept over, as if it wanted to turn the entire world into a scarlet color.
Even though they didn't smell any peculiar smell in their noses, many people still felt a little nauseous and sick to their stomachs under the shroud of blood.
The blood-colored mist that rose from Nijo Castle gradually decreased, and the blood ball in the sky gradually solidified and gradually became smaller.
There is no doubt that when the blood cells are condensed to the extreme, what appears is what the transcendents call the 'Killing Stone'.
As the time of the arrival of the Killing Stone became closer and closer, the battle of those transcendents above Nijo Castle became more and more tragic.
They have to compete for the final winner before the Killing Stone finally comes, so as not to have an accident when they take the Killing Stone later.
For the special department, the precious transcendent falls like a raindrop here, and almost every few seconds a transcendent dies.
Although I know that these should be things created by Qingxing Lantern, and they are not really transcendent beings in history, I don't know how many forces are dying in distress at this moment.
Although this is not their transcendental, it is still heart-stopping to watch the transcendent who wants but can't get it go like cannon fodder.
Finally, when there were only a dozen transcendents left, the advent of the Killing Stone finally reached its final stage.
"It should be almost ready, right?"
Hiding behind the ruins, Iwamoto's heart jumped thrashed.
The dozen or so transcendents who are still alive are basically the strongest of those transcendentals, each with their own unique skills, so they can save their lives in the big melee just now, although each of them is injured, but if you look closely, you can find that none of them are injured, they all just look miserable.
As if sensing that there was no way to eliminate each other in a short period of time, the dozen or so transcendents glanced at each other, and suddenly rushed towards the killing stone that was about to take shape.
"Die!"
An onmyoji pinched his hands as two huge fire dragons suddenly came out from behind him.
"Roar!"
The fire dragon composed of Yin-Yang Technique roared and rushed towards the other transcendents, and several unsuspecting transcendents were immediately forced to take a few steps back.
At this point, taking a step backwards means that they have no hope in this battle.
That Onmyoji has been hiding a hand all along!
The Onmyoji, who was suddenly attacked, rushed towards the Killing Stone as fast as he could, and he was the closest to the Killing Stone now!
However, before he could get close to the Killing Stone, a pitch-black figure suddenly appeared behind the Killing Stone.
Be a ninja!
All the transcendents were stupid, they hadn't seen this ninja before.
This ninja has been hiding in Nijo Castle since the beginning!
The black cloth on his face made it impossible to look at his expression at all, but the ninja who had successfully become a yellow finch quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed it directly at the already solidified killing stone.
"Jingle ——!"
At this moment, a long wind chime rang.
A ripe autumn leaf inexplicably falls in the sky over Nijo Castle.
The ninja looked blankly at the autumn leaves in front of him, he was in the sky now, where could the red leaves float here?
But that's not the point, it's the killing stone that matters now.
The Killing Stone was already in his pocket, and he looked at the other transcendents vigilantly, as long as he got the Killing Stone, then with his speed and latent ability, others would not be able to catch up with him at all.
But what he saw was not an angry expression, but a complete horror.
Afraid?
The ninja was a little puzzled, those samurai and onmyoji shouldn't know him, right?
He suddenly felt that something was wrong, he had already grabbed the killing stone, but why didn't he feel it in his hand?
The afterglow flickered, and the ninja froze suddenly.
The Killing Stone is still there, but what about his hand?
Further down, he finally saw his hand, but only his arm remained.
No! Wrong!
The ninja looked at his arm in horror, and his arm was disappearing on its own, as if it had been weathered and rotted, and it was falling backwards little by little.
"What is this?"
The ninja screamed in horror, his cold, hoarse voice unable to hide the fear.
He suddenly remembered the autumn leaves he had just seen.
"Momiji? Red! ”
He screamed, as if thinking of something.
"I didn't expect it to be really a shard of killing stone."
An ethereal voice rang out from in front of him, and the ninja looked up.
In front of him, the blood-colored hedron was being held by a pale hand.
A pale and indifferent face was reflected in his eyes, and the ninja's pupils dilated to the extreme, almost falling out of their sockets.
The calmness and ruthlessness that a ninja should have was gone in this moment.
"Momiji ......"
In the midst of the autumn leaves, a woman dressed in a robe made of red leaves is stepping in.
It was the last image he saw before disappearing.
