Chapter 266: The Daimyo Lord of the Tenshu Pavilion, the sky and the earth flashed
【Apostle, what should you do?】
[1. You are so angry that you decide to send the 'Ogiwara family retainer' to its grave. Not only do you want to kill it, you also want to kill all the samurai in the barrier to vent your hatred. 】
[2. You are so hard-hearted that you decide to leave secretly, ignoring the little monsters who are about to be executed. Even if they die, they will not reveal the whereabouts of the Slippery Ghost and you. 】
[3. Bearing the burden of humiliation, you decide to stay put for the time being. After the 'Ogiwara family retainers' leave, you can then kill the samurai who stayed here and rescue the little monsters. 】
The best solution among the three options is undoubtedly the second option.
According to the information in the letters that were revealed after killing the master of Isha Palace, the head of the Ogiwara family should be the daimyo of Sengai Castle, that is, the leader-level figure who needs to be killed on the next stop of the castle tower.
Acting rashly at this time will most likely destroy his plan to infiltrate the castle tower, making the subsequent process more difficult.
Therefore, the second option is the best choice for process levels.
The third option seems to be a compromise solution, but how to rescue the little monsters after killing these samurai?
Fleeing back to Longze Temple with a bunch of little monsters will definitely trigger an army encirclement and suppression.
Even if Lin Xun can protect himself and escape, the little monsters will undoubtedly be killed and injured on the way to escape, and the existence of Longze Temple may even be exposed.
As for the first option, the final result will be the same as the third option...
Lin Xun couldn't make a choice for a while. Reason told him to choose the second option, but it was really uncomfortable to compromise like this.
Seeing that the retainers of the Ogiwara family were about to leave Hoshoji Temple, the first option began to tremble and blur, as if it was about to disappear.
An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he didn't choose any of the three options, but started to make a show of it.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Palace Master of Ixie Palace who worships fire’! 】
[The figure of a man wearing hunting clothes and a tall black hat appears in front of the gate of the Golden Palace.]
[Your sudden appearance caused a group of warriors to draw their swords and be on guard. After seeing your face clearly, they quickly sheathed their swords and bowed to salute...]
[The commotion was quite large, causing the ‘Ogiwara family retainer’ who was about to leave the gate of Hoshoji Temple to stop and look back. 】
[You are not only the distinguished leader of the Onmyoji, but also a close friend of the head of the Ogiwara clan, the Daimyo of the castle tower. As a retainer, it hurriedly ran back to the front of the Golden Palace and bowed to you...]
[The 'Ogiwara family retainer' said with surprise on his face, distinguished sir, you have finally appeared! 】
[Two days ago, Yixie Palace was in trouble. The head of the family sent elite warriors to Yixie Palace to provide support, but the murderer was not caught. 】
[The head of the family knows that you are not in the palace, but you are traveling around to collect the ‘secret medicine’ for him. The head of the family deeply blames himself for not protecting the palace. 】
[Suffering from the inability to contact you, my lord, the head of the family can only send many craftsmen to rebuild the palace city, and look forward to your return from gathering medicine every day...]
[When you see the surprised look on the face of the 'Ogiwara family retainer', you know that it would have been severely punished for escaping from the slippery ghost, and might have even lost its head.]
[But now that you have met the long-missing ‘Palace Master of Ixie Palace’, it will be a great achievement to bring you back to the Lord of the City. Not only will you not be punished, your retainers will also be rewarded. 】
[You explain to him that the Slippery Ghost is a shikigami monster gifted to you by the Lord of the City, and you have planted a secret spell on it. Last night, you sensed that the Slippery Ghost escaped from the cage, so you rushed to Faxiang Temple... Unexpectedly
It’s still a step too late.]
[As for the disaster at Ixie Palace, you heard about it on the way here. Now you have to go to the castle tower to meet with the Lord of the City to discuss the matter...]
[The 'Ogiwara family retainer' nodded and bowed all the way to escort you out of the gate of Hoshoji Temple. He was about to lead you into the carriage and headed to the castle tower together, but unexpectedly you turned back to look inside the temple and gave instructions slowly...]
[Rebuilding Ixie Palace not only requires craftsmen to build large-scale construction, but also needs to re-train onmyoji. Naturally, shikigami are indispensable in training onmyoji. Although the 'evil remnants' here are of low strength, they are also useful. 】
[You instruct your retainers to raise these 'evil remnants' well. After you rebuild Yixie Palace, these 'evil remnants' will become the shikigami of your disciples. 】
[The ‘Ogiwara family retainer’ no doubts that he is there and nods his head repeatedly. 】
[Surrounded by many warrior guards, you board the luxurious carriage and go straight to the center of Qianhui City, the highest fortress that symbolizes the power of the local city lord - the castle tower...]
【On the way...】
【……】
[Not long after, you arrived at the center of Qianhui City.]
[You lift the curtain of the carriage and see that the carriage has arrived at the foot of the mountain.]
[You look up and see a solid city wall built on a high hill. The city wall surrounds a tall and magnificent tower fortress.]
[The carriage gallops on the winding mountain road, gradually approaching the castle tower on the top of the mountain...]
[After passing through layers of checkpoints and tight security, you finally arrive at the bottom of the castle tower. 】
[You get out of the carriage. There are four watchtowers surrounding the castle tower in front of you. Many samurai with swords and bows are stationed on the top floors. You even see a large crossbow used to defend the city. 】
[The warriors stationed here are all tall, burly and strong. They are obviously elite warriors raised by the lord of the city. Their strength is far beyond ordinary. 】
[You understand, under the cross attack of countless arrows and powerful crossbows, anyone who dares to act recklessly here will die with no body intact.]
[And the towering and majestic castle tower is protected by a large barrier. The castle tower has five floors, with white and black tiles, cornices and brackets, and it creates a majestic scene. 】
[Led by the retainers, you enter the castle tower and fortress. After being informed by the fully armed warriors, you pass through the castle tower and arrive at the top of the castle tower. 】
[As far as you know, the castle lord Daimyo usually lives in the castle tower on the first floor of the castle tower, and the upper three floors belong to the watchtower, which is a lookout place for samurai guards. ]
[Along the way, the warriors are all wearing sharp armor and are powerful. You know in your heart that any one of these warriors is as powerful as the chief commander among the warriors. 】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [And the castle lord daimyo himself was originally a flag-carrying samurai under the shogun. He was a "hatamoto samurai" and was the ace among the aces of the shogunate's army. He himself had outstanding martial arts. 】
[Because of his advanced age, he was conferred the title of ‘Da Shen Qi Ben’ by the general, and was rewarded with Qianhuicheng as territory, becoming the best among the city lords.]
[Under the training of the castle lord Daimyo who is proficient in martial arts, many elite warriors in the castle tower also have extraordinary martial arts...]
[You climb to the top of the castle tower...]
[The top floor of the watchtower, which was originally used as a place for observation and guarding, has been cleared. There are no large ordnance such as ballistae, and only two sword-wielding samurai are on duty at the door. 】
[There is no wall on the top floor of the watchtower, but a wooden fence. The cold wind from the height is biting. When you walk to the fence, you can overlook the scenery of the entire Qianhui City through the large barrier. 】
[In front of you is a table of banquets and delicacies, with a tall and thin figure drinking and enjoying the scenery with his back to you.]
[Your arrival attracted its attention, and the tall and thin figure turned around. The wrinkles on his face and the graying hair were particularly eye-catching.]
[You discovered the ‘Fire Worshiping Ogiwara Family Head’! 】
[The head of the Ogiwara family showed a smile when he saw you. He pointed at the countless scenery of the castle and started to talk about it...]
[Palace Master Xuanyi, all these living beings seem to be bustling and busy, some are for money, some are for power, some are for love... But life is only a few decades, a hundred years is just a snap of the finger, and in the end it is just a handful of loess. 】
[Even the great general in Kyoto whose martial arts has reached the realm of heaven and man cannot escape the shackles of lifespan, let alone it...]
[It has been practicing martial arts for many years, and now it realizes that martial arts is just a way to kill people, while Yin Yang magic is the secret of immortality. 】
[The head of the Ogiwara family burst out with a ray of light in his cloudy eyes, and slowly asked, Master Genichi has been away for many days. I wonder if he has collected the 'secret medicine for rejuvenation'? 】
[You look at the old man in front of you. He has a simple sword tied around his black kimono waist. Although his old and thin body is like a candle in the wind, even if he is old and frail, the extraordinary martial arts of the 'Hatato Samurai' cannot be underestimated.
watch for.】
【How should you answer?】
[It is to deceive it into collecting the secret medicine and try to make a violent move when it performs the 'rejuvenation technique'. 】
[The secret medicine for push-off has not been collected yet, it will take some time. 】
The plan failed to keep up with the change. Lin Xun originally wanted to use the body of the 'ninja master' to sneak into the castle tower quietly and assassinate the 'head of the Ogiwara family'.
Now it seems that this BOSS-level city lord name can't be killed with just one stab in the back.
Now seems to be an excellent opportunity to take action. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it in vain?
Lin Xun thought about it and chose the former.
[You nodded and indicated that you have collected the 'secret medicine for rejuvenation'. Now you only need to apply the secret medicine, combined with the secret technique of yin and yang, to make the Lord of the Daming City return to youth. 】
[‘The head of the fire-worshipping Ogiwara family’ was overjoyed and stepped forward to grab your hands. His big, skinny palms were particularly strong, making your joints ache. 】
[It took a deep breath, calmed down, and said solemnly, since the Master of Palace Xuanyi can help it rejuvenate, then it will definitely keep its promise. 】
[After it raises its troops and captures Kyoto, it will grant you the ‘Tenmei Shrine’. At that time, all the ‘Saiou’ and ‘Miko’ will be your secret medicine materials, Master Genichi.]
[With these fine materials, even if a hundred years pass, you and it will live on forever and live as long as heaven and earth!]
[Without further delay, please use the ‘Secret Technique of Rejuvenation’ as soon as possible! 】
[‘The head of the Ogiwara family’ couldn’t wait to take off his kimono, revealing his withered chest...]
[You glanced at the two warriors still guarding the door with your peripheral vision and shook your head slowly.]
[You indicated that this spell is more complicated than the previous ‘Secret Art of Rejuvenation’. 】
[Not only do you have to take off your upper body clothes, you also have to be completely naked.]
[Because the real ‘secret technique of rejuvenation’ is a secret technique that changes destiny against the will of heaven and steals the lifespan of heaven and earth, it cannot be heard, seen, or perceived by mortals. 】
[During the process of casting the spell, the city lord Daimyo must close his eyes tightly and close off the five senses throughout the process in order for the secret spell to take effect. 】
[Otherwise, once the secret is leaked, it may cause a huge backlash...]
[Hearing your words, the head of the Ogiwara family looked hesitant. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't resist the temptation of eternal life. ]
[It drove away the samurai on duty at the door, leaving you and it alone on the top floor of the castle tower. 】
[The ‘Head of the Ogiwara Family’ took off the sword from his waist and threw it aside, took off his black kimono and took off the lining, and soon stood in front of you naked. 】
[Under your guidance, it sits cross-legged and slowly closes its eyes...]
[You can feel the powerful 'qi' surging back and forth in its body, covering its eyes, ears, under the nose, etc., and it seems that the five senses have been completely closed...]
[‘The head of the Ogiwara family’ is motionless, waiting for you to cast a spell to return to youth...]
Lin Xun took a deep breath, success or failure depended on this!
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Fire Worshiping Heartless Ninja Master’! 】
[You try to reach out and touch the 'Ogiwara Family Patriarch', but see that it doesn't react at all. You even try to punch quickly, and you can only stop when the punch reaches an inch in front of its nose. 】
【And it has no perception at all and is motionless.】
"You have to kill with one strike. If you fail in one strike, I'm afraid it will attract many warriors. Even the ninja master will probably be defeated by the powerful bow and arrow."
At this time, the ‘Dragon Blue’ has been fully charged in the chapter of defending against the devil.
Embedding the 'Dragon Jade' at the end of the sword hilt not only allows the 'Dragon Sword Authentic' to return to the legendary level, but also allows the charging stunt 'Heaven and Earth Flash' to be released and used.
However, the skill "Heaven and Earth Flash" is a bit loud, and it will also appear due to the effect of the charged skill when it is invisible.
Therefore, when releasing the special skill of "Heaven and Earth Flash", you will not receive the attack bonus of the invisible state.
Lin Xun is well aware of the iron rule that ‘hesitation will lead to defeat’, so he decisively uses the most powerful single-target special move today - a flash of heaven and earth!
[You open a pale eye...]
[Special skill ‘Weakness Insight’ is activated! 】
【Judgment successful!】
[Your next attack will have a high probability of hitting the enemy's weak point and causing high damage!]
[You hold your breath and concentrate, squatting slightly, holding the sheath in your left hand, and holding the hilt of the sword tightly in your right hand.]
[The beautiful jade called ‘Dragon Blue’ on the hilt blooms with an extremely dazzling green light, and an extremely powerful force is condensed in it. 】
[With you as the center of the circle, strong winds are blowing all around, and howling and biting hurricanes are gathering.]
[The fence on the top floor of the castle tower creaks and tilts towards you, and the vast power continues to gather towards the 'Ryuken Masamune'...]
[Such an abnormality is extremely shocking. If there were other people here, they would definitely think that it was a god descending to earth, and they would involuntarily fall down to worship.]
[On the other hand, the 'Ogiwara family head' sitting cross-legged facing you is motionless. It has closed its five senses and cannot feel any abnormality from the outside world at all. 】
【……】
"hurry up!"
Lin Xun was extremely hoping that the charging time of Heaven and Earth Flash would end soon.
[Your gaze contains murderous intent, and you will kill the 'head of the Ogiwara family' with your sword as soon as it is fully charged...]
[It remains motionless, but you hear faint footsteps coming from the stairs. It seems that a strange phenomenon on the top floor of the castle tower has alerted the samurai. 】
[But rich assassination experience tells you that the footsteps are still some distance away from here. Before the samurai get to the top floor, you can complete the accumulation of power and kill the 'head of the Ogiwara family'! 】
[The wind howled more violently, large black clouds enveloped the top of the castle tower at some point, and rolling thunder came from the sky. 】
[The dark clouds at the top of the sky also swept down with the gathering and howling wind, forming a whirlpool-like phenomenon of heaven and earth...]
[You can feel that a raging thunder is about to fall from the sky, so you have to use the power of heaven and earth to unleash the most powerful sword in your life!]
[Your eyes are locked on the chest of the ‘Ogiwara Family Patriarch’, and you suddenly notice that there are black tattoos like tree branches and leaves on its heart...]
[I saw the branches and leaves tattoos squirming, causing the owner of this body to wake up and open his eyes.]
['The head of the Ogiwara family who worships fire' had a sinister look on his face, shouted loudly, and his whole body was filled with 'qi'. The sword on the ground beside him unsheathed himself and was held in his hand. 】
[At this moment, your figure disappeared...]
[Boom! The wild lightning falls! Shining in the dark and silent world!]
[A brilliant and shocking sword light was born from this!]
[The swords flashed across the sky, and the residents near the castle tower seemed to feel the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth, and they all looked up together.]
[A shocking sword split open the roof of the castle tower, washing away all the debris as if it were the beginning of the world, leaving only the brilliant sword light, washing away all things...]
[When the sword light goes out...]
[The ‘Head of the Ogiwara Family’ in front of you is covered in blood, the right arm holding the sword has been separated from the body, and the ancient sword has also been broken...]
[It looked gray and gloomy, couldn't stop coughing out blood, and fell to one knee on the ground.]
[And you, have been surrounded by a group of strong armored warriors who came after hearing the news. 】
[Countless arrows and powerful crossbows are aimed at you, and as soon as the city lord gives the order, you will be killed on the spot!]
