Chapter 277 The way to defeat the general, Ishimaru Sword Furnace
"...This is impossible to play!"
The name of the general was prefixed with "extremely evil". These three words seemed to have given Lin Xun a blow, making him doubt his life.
"It shouldn't be. Doesn't it mean that the general is the incarnation of 'Canggu Tianyan' and the representative of gods walking on earth?"
"Why did he become a figure in the Oath camp with extremely evil consequences?"
Lin Xun seriously suspected that the underworld game felt that his smooth push all the way through was too smooth, so it increased the difficulty of the game for him to let him experience what it felt like to be stuck.
But if you think about it carefully, even if the game in the underworld wants to increase the difficulty of the game, it will be like the easter egg chapter of "Invasion of Demons", allowing the apostles to choose whether to increase the difficulty, instead of silently increasing the difficulty.
Besides, the difficulty level of hell has already reached its peak. What kind of difficulty should we call if we increase the difficulty level again...the difficulty level of eighteen levels of hell?
Lin Xun carefully recalled the previous plot text, and after thinking carefully for a long time, he actually found some clues.
When he first entered the chapter, he discovered the statue of 'Canggu Tianyan' under the ground of 'Xianxiang Youkuo'.
According to the memory of Fantou and the original poster...
[The Fairyland is not only a place to collect intelligence for the General, but also a place where evil thoughts gather. The statue of ‘Canggu Tianyan’ at the bottom of the Fairyland is the container for collecting evil thoughts. 】
[There are countless people venting their evil thoughts in Fairyland every day, so it’s no wonder that evil thoughts gather here.]
[As the manager of the Wandering Girl House, Fantou only knows that this statue has existed since the establishment of Xianxiang.]
[Every few years, the evil thoughts absorbed by the statue will materialize. They are ordered to guard the statue. When the evil thoughts mature, they will pick the fruits and hand them over to the general...]
The text at that time reminded him that it had probably been a long time since the general had degenerated into an 'extremely evil person'...
Not only that, he discovered the existence of the 'evil thoughts tattoo' a long time ago. According to the growth pattern of tattoo branches and leaves, the stronger the body, the more lush and prosperous the evil thoughts branches and leaves are.
If there is anyone who is the most powerful person in the world, it is undoubtedly the ‘General’.
After the branches and leaves of evil thoughts blossomed and bore fruit, it became a matter of course that the ‘general’ would become extremely evil.
Yuki-onna also told him that there is a popular trend in Kyoto, where powerful people often bare their chests and reveal black tattoos on their chests to show their strength.
Now that I think about it, this trend was probably started by the general.
The general is subtly influencing people's thinking, making them think that the fruit produced by the "evil thoughts branches" is a sign of their own strength. However, when the fruits are produced... they may become slaves of the "extremely evil consequences".
But even if you know all this, how can you break the situation?
Originally, Lin Xun thought that the main plot of this chapter was to unite the generals to resist the 'extremely evil consequences', but resisting a god, and the main god at that, was something that could not be accomplished at the current difficulty level?
The final BOSS is probably the General himself!
[The powerful wandering soul is reborn in the throne room of the castle tower...]
Lin Xun spent a bit of soul strength to reshape the little dragon man.
If you want to defeat the general, in terms of strength, the underworld game prompts "You feel very heavy pressure" means that you will definitely be unable to defeat him.
The little dragon man had no resistance and was killed with a knife. He was replaced by the body of Greedy Wolf Star Lord and went up to fight. If he could withstand the general's knife blow, he would be considered a winner.
I learned from the 'Deputy Palace Master of Yixie Palace' before that even the top big monster 'Nine-tailed Fox' can only seduce the general, but does not dare to fight directly, so you can know how powerful the general is.
In the end, the general killed the 'nine-tailed fox' with one blow, and his body was turned into a 'killing stone' or something like that.
Therefore, being able to withstand a sword strike from the general means he is extremely powerful.
As for things like props, the red army is a very powerful fighting force, but compared to the army, the number of troops under the general's command far exceeds that of the Daimyo castle lord.
Even if they recruit soldiers for a war and the number of soldiers exceeds the upper limit several times, they will never be able to defeat the general... Maybe they will be surrounded and suppressed by the general just after the upper limit of recruitment is exceeded, and finally the rebels' heads will be chopped off and hung on the city gate.
The 'Longze Temple Monster Spirit Tablet' can summon monsters from all generations of temples to assist in battles, and is also a very powerful prop.
But if the opponent is a general...
The general has killed countless 'evil remnants', including the legendary monster 'Nine-tailed Fox'.
You must know that the "Nine-tailed Fox", "Shuten Doji", "Daitengu" and others are the top existences among monsters, and their strength far exceeds that of the previous Slippery Ghost BOSS.
It can be seen from this that, let alone a temple priest, even if a group of temple priests come together, they will probably not be the opponent of the general.
Moreover, Lin Xun summoned helpers, but the general couldn't do it. There was a top-notch combat force "Hatata Samurai" outside the gate of Dongyuan Palace. When it came to helping his younger brother, the general could beat him ten times.
"Is the key clue to defeating the general still hidden in Kyoto? It's just that I haven't finished exploring Kyoto, so I can't defeat the general with my current strength..."
Lin Xun thought about this and finally cleared his mind.
He decided to continue to Kyoto and completely explore every corner of Kyoto until he found a way to defeat the general!
Leave Qianhui City again, switch to the body of Tanlangxingjun and use the sword to rush on.
Fortunately, I have the body of the Sword Immortal, otherwise it would have taken half a day just to travel.
The flying speed of the Valkyrie is relatively slow and the flying altitude is too low, making it easy to be discovered.
There is a time limit for the little dragon to transform into a giant dragon, so it cannot be used for daily use.
There are no such restrictions when flying with a sword. It flies high and fast. In addition to consuming a lot of real energy, it can be called a perfect means of rushing and escaping.
【……】
[You passed through the city gate invisible again without attracting anyone's attention...]
[However, there are more warriors on duty at the city gate this time than before, and the inspections are more careful.]
[Presumably your body disappeared out of thin air, making the general realize that you are not dead yet.]
[Looking at the familiar streets of Kyoto, you think about where to go next...]
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A bunch of options popped up in the underworld game, and Lin Xun automatically ignored the first option, ‘Gosho Palace’, and pressed the option of ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’.
[After some thought, you decided to go to the ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’ first to find out. 】
[According to your memory, the general summoned sword craftsmen and weapon forging masters from all over Yingluo, and gathered all these skilled craftsmen in the ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’ to make weapons for his soldiers and generals. 】
[Therefore, ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’ has the best sword craftsmen in the entire Sakura Fall, and even your sword ‘Ryuuken Masamune’ came from here! 】
【You walk along the street and walk for a long time before reaching the most corner of Kyoto City.】
[The ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’ in the distance is a large sword-making workshop. A large workshop is surrounded by white walls and black tiles, and a tall chimney extends from it. 】
[There are warriors guarding the gate of the sword furnace, and the people coming in and out are all from wealthy families, judging by their clothing.]
[The ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’ not only handles the swords and weapons for the army, but also undertakes the sword-making needs of noble families in Kyoto. 】
[However, the ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’ only forges top-grade weapons, and its cost is high, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, those who come here to seek swords are either rich or noble...]
Lin Xun thought for a moment and then switched bodies.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Fire Worshiping Wushin-ryu Master Fan’! 】
The Ninja Master's vest has been exposed, and the body of the castle lord Daimyo cannot appear in Kyoto. In the body column, only Master Fan is still considered the number one person.
[You approach the sword furnace gate, reveal your identity as Kendo Master Fan to the guard at the door, and then you can enter the ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’. 】
[After passing through the gate, everyone who entered with you was greeted by beautiful waitresses, and you were no exception. However, compared with the other people, the waitress who received you seemed less enthusiastic.]
[It seems that your identity as a swordsman master in the Kyoto of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' can only be regarded as an 'inferior person', just enough to enter the threshold of the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace'. 】
[The waitress does not take you to the sword-making workshop, but leads you to the reception room on the side. She introduces you to you carefully, there are more than a hundred sword craftsmen here, and they are known as 'sword blacksmiths'. 】
[According to the level of weapon casting skills, they are divided into master craftsmen, masters, and masters. Visitors can designate the 'Knife Forging' to cast weapons according to their own needs...]
[As you speak, you have walked into the reception room and sat down at the table. The waitress pointed to the 'Sword Forging Notice' posted on the wall and motioned you to check it yourself. Then she turned around and left without even serving tea. It seemed that she was going to entertain others.
A visitor...]
[There are many dignitaries in the reception room, customizing their favorite swords under the explanation of the maid, but you are the only one alone. 】
[You look at the ‘sword casting notice’ posted on the wall...]
[The ‘Master Sword Blacksmith’ can cast high-grade swords (rare equipment) for a cost of 10,000 spiritual points. 】
[The 'Sword Blacksmithing Master' can forge top-quality swords (rare equipment) at a cost of 50,000 spiritual points. 】
[The ‘Sword Blacksmithing Master’ can cast high-quality swords (epic-level equipment) at a cost of 200,000 souls. 】
[The above fees are the prices for the casting materials provided by the ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’. If the customer brings their own materials, only 20% of the fee will be charged...]
Lin Xun twitched his mouth when he saw this.
“Why is this product so much more expensive than what’s sold in the library?!”
Compared with the weapons sold in the library, the casting cost of the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace' is basically priced according to the highest selling price of weapons of the same level.
The price is slightly cheaper than the customization of the 'Artisan's Book'.
What Lin Xun cared about the most was not this. He had never thought of coming here to forge equipment. He came to the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace' just for the blacksmith's body!
However, looking at the ‘price list’ provided by the underworld game, the ‘Knife Forging’ here can only forge epic-level equipment at best.
The blacksmith in his shell column can also do this, but he can't do anything with epic-level equipment.
"No! According to the memory of the Ninja Master, the 'Dragon Sword Masamune' was forged here. Even if you leave out the Dragon Blue, the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace' can at least forge epic-level equipment..."
[You suddenly heard the conversation between the distinguished guest and the waitress. The price reported by the waitress was 30% lower than the 'sword casting notice'. ]
[The distinguished guest seemed to have an unusual identity. He yelled at the maid, demanding that the 'sword furnace owner' should be the one to forge swords. How dare the maid fool him with these low-level 'sword forgings'?
In the eyes!]
[The distinguished guest raised his hand and gave a loud slap in the face, causing red slap marks to appear on the face of the waitress. The waitress hurriedly knelt down to apologize, not daring to disobey in the slightest.]
[The waitress kowtowed repeatedly. She led the distinguished guest into a separate small room on one side and closed the shoji door. It seemed that she was going to appease the distinguished guest's anger...]
[Are you going to pretend to be a high-ranking official and ask the ‘master of the sword furnace’ to forge a sword for you? 】
[You look towards the corner of the reception room and see a few free waitresses there.]
[You slapped the table and yelled loudly, why don’t you come to greet the distinguished guests when they come to your door!]
[Everyone in the reception room looked sideways, and a beautiful waitress came up from the corner and asked you in a low voice what you need.]
[You loudly scolded the maid, demanding that the sword-forging master must be the one to forge swords, and used the low-level 'sword forging' mentioned in the 'sword casting notice' to fool you. You simply don't take you seriously!]
[You continue to imitate the distinguished guest just now, and you are about to raise your hand to give him a loud slap. Suddenly thinking of your identity, you can't help but stop your palm from falling.]
[The waitress hurriedly knelt down to apologize, trying to calm your emotions again and again. 】
[It was about to take you to a separate private room aside, when it suddenly saw the kendo hall emblem on the chest of your robe, and the waitress's eyes widened in anger, and she opened her mouth to curse. 】
[It summoned dozens of warriors on duty and said bluntly that as a master of a small kendo gym, you dare to come to the "Ishimaru Sword Furnace" to act wild. You simply don't take the general seriously! 】
[You were surrounded by dozens of powerful crossbows and did not dare to make the slightest move. You were quickly kicked out of the ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’ by a group of warriors on duty, and you also received a lot of punches and kicks. 】
"..." Lin Xun's face was full of black lines. This was Chi Guoguo's discrimination!
Normally, he would have switched to a powerful body, used violence to enter the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace', and captured the body of the 'Sword Forging'.
It’s just that there is still an ‘evil general’ in Kyoto, and he cannot attract the attention of the big boss at the moment.
He thought for a moment, then an idea came to his mind and he came up with a plan.
"Magic can only be defeated with magic!"
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Corrupted Blacksmith’! 】
[You were about to step into the sword furnace door while carrying the ‘Family Stainless Steel Forging Hammer’, but you were stopped. 】
[The warrior saw that you were dressed in rags and looked strange. You were obviously not a native of Yingluo. He stopped you cautiously and asked about your identity. ]
[You bluntly said that you are a 'forging master' from a foreign country in the West. You traveled across the ocean and traveled thousands of miles to Sakuraluo. You heard that the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace' has the best 'sword forging' in Sakuraluo, so you came here to buy it.
Swords, see Yingluo’s forging skills.]
[As soon as these words were spoken, the warrior stood in awe and ushered you in through the door respectfully.]
[Soon a beautiful waiter will come up to you and introduce you to the ‘sword blacksmithing’ in the ‘Ishimaru Sword Furnace’. 】
[You raised your hand to interrupt the waitress, pointed at the two waitresses beside you, and asked them to explain it to you.]
[Those two waitresses are the same waitresses who entertained you before.]
[When the two waitresses heard that you were a distinguished guest from a foreign country, they did not dare to neglect you. They nodded and bowed and led you into the reception room.]
[One of them makes tea, and the other explains, and carefully introduces you to various situations in the 'Ishimaru Sword Furnace'. It can be said that they know everything and can't explain it...]
[Several distinguished guests in the reception room frowned. Obviously you are not from a wealthy family because of your ragged clothes, but you can enjoy the attentive service of two waitresses at the same time. It is really abnormal. 】
[But seeing this posture, they guessed that your identity is not simple, and they did not dare to rush forward to ask.]
[You were enjoying the fine tea and listening to the waitress’s soft and thorough explanation. Suddenly, you smashed the porcelain cup to the ground and smashed the table with the ‘family-herited fine steel forging hammer’ in your hand. 】
[You wave your hand and give each of them a loud slap, causing red slap marks to appear on the face of the waitress.]
[They cover their faces and look at you in disbelief, not understanding what they did wrong.]
[You pointed at the 'sword forging notice' and reprimanded loudly. You have heard for a long time that Yingluo's 'sword forging' skills are superb and famous overseas. You traveled thousands of miles from the west to come here just to see Yingluo's most superb forging skills.
Sword skills!]
[Now, two female waitresses deceive you that you are a foreigner, and actually use these low-grade 'sword forging' to fool you... Could it be that there are no skilled sword craftsmen in the huge cherry blossoms?!】
[The two female maids hurriedly knelt down to apologize, not daring to disobey in the slightest.]
[They kowtow repeatedly and lead you into a small independent room on one side, presumably to appease the anger of the foreign guests...]
