-277- Tokyo has changed dramatically, and it has been a strange night
Reducing the amplitude can also cut out the sword light, even if the power is small, you can deceive the real and the false! Suck! If you want to make more phantoms, you can "infinitely refill the cup", the combat skill is not omnipotent, when you should fight the knife, you will fight the knife, and when you should level A, you will fight A......
These small details will not be talked about at all in weekday training, and I am afraid that they will not be used in actual combat, but they will be the best effect when they are taught while fighting in actual combat.
Yin Rena realized that the so-called trial cooperation is not necessarily a simple duel, thinking about it from another angle, this is actually the last lesson that Master Tsukahara of the Sword Saint Tsukahara wants to teach himself - the art of fighting.
The vision flickered and darkened, the sun rose in the east and set in the west over and over again, and under the battle of the highest intensity, Yin Rena had long forgotten the passage of time and threw herself into the battle in front of her, and before she knew it, she could use the skills that Tsukahara had taught herself.
Just one morning, Dongfang had just vomited, and Tsukahara took a few steps back to distance himself from Yin Rena, who was full of excitement, and then put the knife into the sheath.
Seeing this, Yin Rena stayed where she was, turned her head to look at the morning light in the east, the first rays of sunlight of the day sprinkled on the earth, reflected on the blade of the cherry blossom love, and the phoenix lines loomed under the halo of cherry blossom pink, almost jumping out.
Looking back, Tsukahara crossed his hands into his cuffs, and his face had long since lost his usual stern and unsmiling smile, replaced by a smile of relief.
"Congratulations to you, Yin Leina, you're out of school."
This sentence came out of Tsukahara's mouth, which meant that she would soon leave this place where she had been staying for three years, even longer than the time she had spent in the Western Continent.
"Master......"
"Now that you have been discharged, I give you the right to continue to teach the Katori Shinto stream, and after returning to the Western Continent, you can accept apprentices or not, just follow your own wishes, let's go, today is your day."
Yin Rena looked at the knife in her hand, feeling the familiar touch, and the memories couldn't help but come to her heart, thinking about it now, the feeling was the same as the reluctance and emotion when she stayed in high school for three years and left after graduation.
"Hmm!"
Back at home and waiting until noon, Eri and Asukina prepare a sumptuous lunch, which can be said to be the highest in three years, after all, it is very significant.
During the banquet, Shangquan, who had already become an adult like an adult, poured himself white wine cup by cup, his face was already red from drinking, and he lay on the table and said inarticulately: "Senior sister, remember to come to our house tonight to have a meal, my family really wants to see you, so it should be regarded as a commemorative ......."
Yin Rena should have taken off her training uniform for the first time, put on a full costume, and came to his house with Shangquan.
This kid usually doesn't show his eyes or water, but his family is actually a rich and noble family, and his family is not ordinary.
Whether it is simply to know or to find a future sword saint as a backer for Shangquan, who has not yet been a teacher, Yin Rena doesn't care, Shangquan is her junior brother, and Yin Rena will help if she has any difficulties, the so-called bond is like this, sometimes it is more important than interests.
After the banquet, it happened to be a local temple fair.
I remember the last time I went to see the temple fair was when I was a demented person at Yuuki's house, and now, there are two more people and a sword spirit around me.
Master Tsukahara, Kamiizumi, Kyo, and Aunt Eri, who has a little more wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and Asuna, who has grown into a big girl.
The years are always unforgiving, the little girl who used to be so old in the blink of an eye, Eri is also starting to get old, the god blood has an unimaginable lifespan, and every time she sees the people around her getting old, Yin Leina's heart will always be filled with bitterness.
"What do you want, let's go~"
At this time, Eri came to Yin Rena's side, patted her on the shoulder and walked up the stairs, looking up to see that everyone was waiting for her above.
"Hmmm! Don't miss the fireworks. ”
This may be the last fireworks she will ever see in Chongsakura.
The day after that, the farewell banquet was over, the name Yin Rena Kaslana was written on the pedigree of the Katori Shinto lineage, and the annals of the Kamiizumi family also recorded such a foreign friend, the senior sister of the future head of the family, and too many things would change, and at the same time, it would become calm.
At the door of Tsukahara's house, there are still Eri's prepared food pills hanging from his waist, which are used as snacks for Yin Rena to eat on the road.
Tsukahara: "Yin Rena, swordsmanship can't be slacked for a day, I hope you can continue to improve." ”
Jing: "Next time you come back, remember to bring some specialties from the Western Continent~"
Shangquan: "Senior sister! When I get out of school, I will definitely fight with you! ”
Among the three, Eri is probably the most reluctant Yin Reina:
"Take care of your body and be careful."
"Got it, Aunt Eri, Master, Mr. Jing, and Shangquan, you also have to take care of yourself, I will definitely come again if I have a chance in the future!"
"Tomorrow, I'll leave it to you."
Leaving Chong Sakura this time, Tomorrow Nai will also go together, in order to find his own path.
However, there are two things to do before returning to the Western Continent, one is to go to Yuki's house to get Tsujikiri back, and the other is to find the Ibaraki Boy, and then Ga it, and take the head to the blacksmith to fulfill the promise.
Of course, she won't cut off Asukana's cause and effect at Yuuki's house by the way, and she has to do it herself.
After two horses from the Kamiizumi family, the speed of the journey was much faster, and on the ninth day after the departure, I arrived in the outer suburbs of Tokyo, but something strange happened.
Horses and corpses dressed as messengers could be seen every few steps along the road, and the farthest they could not get beyond the limits of the view on the city walls.
A few steps further, you can see that the once bustling city gate is now lifeless, full of corpses and ruins, and the flames have been extinguished at some point.
"Oh my God......" Asukina covered her mouth in disbelief, "Has Tokyo been captured?!" ”
Yin Rena turned her head to look in the direction of central Tokyo, in her field of vision, the demonic aura there was incomparably strong, straight to the sky!
"Looks like I don't have to go to that guy myself."
"Tomorrow, let's go, go into the city and see how it goes."
This is true at the city walls, not to mention the inside of the city, where blood is everywhere, and the body and limbs are everywhere, as if they have been eaten and swept by wild beasts.
After turning around for a while, I didn't see a single figure, and when I came to Eri's favorite shop, it was in ruins, and the once bustling streets and alleys were like hell on earth.
"The whole city was slaughtered, all the messengers died on the way, and naturally no one knew what happened in Tokyo if the information was not delivered in time, it should have happened recently, otherwise someone would have been suspicious beyond the time for the messenger to send the message."
At this time, Yin Rena suddenly recalled the news she had heard when she was in Tokyo - the internal contradictions within the Kanzaki family, who were in charge of Shikami, had intensified, and when she was in the Tsukahara family, she knew that the family had completely broken up and turned into two factions, and they began a stalemate and battle with each other.
"After three years of fighting, there is finally a result, tomorrow, let's wait until the evening to see."
I casually found a well-preserved building and waited silently until night, and when night fell quietly, rows of lanterns and surging mist suddenly appeared on the avenue connecting the city lord's mansion, and Yin Rena rushed to the vicinity with Amena.
Floats, sedan chairs, drums, and pianos, the whole city lit up this road, and it was lively as usual.
Hiding on the roof, Asukina's eyes widened, and fear made her body tremble.
The "man" who marched was not a person, but the "Shikigami" who broke free from the cage.
Flying head, smoke and smoke, ghostly and ghostly, cat and fox fire...... One by one, the youkai who heard it appeared in front of you.
"Kanzaki civil strife, a hundred treacherous night walks, and Tokyo has completely become a treacherous city, but why are so many yokai being released?"
"Sister, look there!"
Looking at the position of Asukina's finger, the castle lord's mansion and the Kanzaki family house in Tokyo City were brightly lit at the moment, which was extremely stark in contrast to the dark silence around them.
The Castle Lord's Mansion was like a huge, towering attic with countless rooms, and Yin Rena and Assuna quietly bypassed the surrounding youkai patrolling and came to the back of the mansion.
There are also little demons patrolling, obviously these monsters are organized and disciplined, otherwise they would have slaughtered Tokyo and scattered everywhere, and Huohuo went to other cities.
They climbed up like ninjas along the various protrusions in the wall, and through one room they could see that it was full of people, all young girls, and almost all of them were filled with women and children.
As we all know, most of the heavy cherry youkai like to eat women and children, except for a few banshees who like to be lustful men of Hoho, and arresting these people is obviously using them as reserve food.
"How can this be!"
"The Tao is not the same, let alone the foreigners? If we were imprisoned for hundreds of years, we would be even more cruel than they would be if we were freed. ”
The reason is very simple, and Asuna will understand it at a point, but the current situation is not a debate.
"Sister! We've got to get them out!" ”
"Just two of us, how can we fight against the demons and monsters in this city? That would only cost us our lives. ”
"......"
"I came to this treacherous place for only one purpose, and that is to take down the head of the Ibaraki boy and give it to the Ha family, and fulfill my promise, and I don't want to meddle in anything else."
Seeing Yin Reina's tough attitude and the current situation, Asuna couldn't do anything, and finally took a look at the group of poor people in the room with dark eyes, and followed Yin Rena's pace of continuing to climb up.
- There is a similarity with the demonic energy, and the breath is also very strong, but it is very weak, and it is estimated that it is the people of the Kanzaki family, and it is good to ask the location of the Ibaraki boy from their mouths.
Coming to the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion, Yin Rena easily broke in, and the two monsters guarding the door couldn't stop Yin Rena from stabbing even if they were of medium strength.
The largest room on the top floor has been converted into a cage, but there is no iron railing, but an enchantment, built by demonic power, mixed with breath, obviously the result of the union of several big demons, in fact, it doesn't hurt not to place guards.
Through the transparent enchantment, you can see that there is an old man locked up inside, with white hair and fairy wind bones, but the twilight is dull, and there should be few lives.
Yin Leina's arrival did not hide from the old man, he slowly opened his eyes, and recognized the origin of the two at a glance.
"The heir of Tsukahara, the little girl of the Yuki family, the delicate combination, why did you come to this dangerous place?"
"Old man, I'll just tell you straight, where is the Ibaraki boy? Something to do with him. ”
"Roar~" The old man said with a smile in his tone: "Even if you are a disciple of the Sword Saint, you can't help but be overwhelmed if you come up to challenge the top demon." ”
"That guy is pretty good?"
"Of course, fifty years ago, we died several masters to accept him as a Shikigami, and now Ibaraki Boy is already one of the three kings who rule ten thousand demons in this strange city with his high strength, and it is useless for you to get rid of it alone."
Yin Rena raised her eyebrows, this old man is not young, his strength should not be underestimated, even if he has no Shi Shen to drive, his own yin and yang skills should be enough to compete with a demon king.
"Tell me, old man, if I want to ask you to help me, what are the conditions?"
The old man smiled: "Simple, now that my Kanzaki family is falling apart, the family is scattered and the people have not been dispersed, let me go, and then go to the Kanzaki family house to rescue the Kanzaki people who are trapped there and struggling, and we will help you fight against the three kings together." ”
"Only by defeating them all can we have a chance to restart the shrine enchantment and return all the gods, which is the same as your purpose, how about we join forces?"
"I just can't find my teammates, so it's just right." Yin Rena promised very simply, the interests are the same, why not join forces? The enemy of the enemy is the teammate.
The old man smiled and the chrysanthemums bloomed, "That's great, little friend, help the old man cut this enchantment now!" With that Katori Shinto-flow's domineering sword light, it shouldn't be difficult, right? ”
"This barrier has been broken, those big demons should be able to sense it, right? What if they come over? ”
"Then rush directly to Kanzaki's house, only a few streets away from here, Xiaoyou, we are about to race against time, the shorter the time you have to break the barrier, the more time will be left for us, use Katori Shinto-ryu's slash to slash a few more, this thing is designated to be broken, and then I will apply pressure from the inside, or a few minutes......"
"No, this kind of thing doesn't need to be that troublesome."
I saw a pure and pale flame burning in Yin Leina's hand.
Although she has practiced Taidao for three years, she has not forgotten the skills she already knows.
The Pale Holy Flame's special attack on the evil things is the most in the world, and the demonic energy of the great demon can be incinerated in an instant.
Under the old man's suspicious gaze, as soon as the pale holy flame touched the enchantment, it was like a red-hot iron embryo stuffed into ice water, and in less than ten seconds, the indestructible, Guan Onmyoji's exclusive enchantment was burned out of a big hole, and the previous head of the original Kanzaki family successfully escaped.
This also means that the youkai no longer threaten the Kanzaki people who are protected by the family barrier.
At the same time as the enchantment was shattered, the two demon kings who enjoyed the treacherous night walk looked back at the City Lord's Mansion with a smile, and then turned into a demonic qi and quickly rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
As if feeling the approach of the demonic aura, the old man's expression froze:
"Quick! Those two demon kings are here! ”
The three of them broke through the window and jumped down, rushing straight to the Kanzaki family's house.
"Didn't you say that there are three demon kings? What about the other one? On the way, Yin Rena asked.
"The last one, the Ibaraki boy you're looking for, is guarding the shrine of the Kanzaki family! When you get there, you go straight to the shrine, and I'll rush over when I call the people out! ”
"Where's the shrine?"
"Just see a few red pillars standing together!"
