Chapter 2360: Taiyi is not a human, he is an immortal
Since Zhou Yu came to Japan, assassinations have become the norm. He has experienced four assassinations in Kyushu, and has experienced thirteen assassinations after landing in Echigo Kingdom.
Most of the Japanese assassins who assassinated Zhou Yu were onmyojis and ninjas, and there were even old men, monks, dancing girls, and children. They used all kinds of tricks.
This is enough to show that Zhou Yu's combination of punches really hit the weak spot of the Japanese country, otherwise the Japanese country would not be so eager to assassinate him.
Facing the Japanese assassination, Zhou Yu acted very indifferently. After all, the Emperor of Qin had been assassinated dozens of times in a month before he ascended the throne, but he didn't say much, and he didn't even do that.
Up to twenty times.
Therefore, those who want to assassinate me, Zhou Yu, should all come here, but they must succeed, and failure will lead to death.
Zhou Yu was generous and didn't care about the assassination, but the generals of the Qin army couldn't care less. They were all resentful and vented their resentment on the battlefield.
What the generals didn't know was that Zhou Yu didn't care, he just deliberately acted like he didn't care. After all, even if he was furious and hysterical, he couldn't stop the Shinto sect from continuing to send people to assassinate him.
However, Zhou Yu has also stepped up the collection of information about Shintoism, and is still formulating strategies to counterattack Shintoism.
The more he learned about Shintoism, the more frightened Zhou Yu became.
This sect, and even the Onmyoji lineage behind it, is simply pervasive in the Japanese country.
Basically, the elite class of Japan, even if they are not Shintoists, are definitely people of the Onmyoji lineage.
This sect has indirectly ruled the entire Japanese country, and the sect is above the country, relying on the Japanese country to continuously suck blood to strengthen itself.
Under such circumstances, Oda Nobunaga still dared to separate politics and religion, and he has not yet been killed by Shinto?
Zhou Yu couldn't help but admire Oda Nobunaga's courage and courage.
After occupying Echigo Kingdom, Zhou Yu encountered the largest assassination to date. This time the killers were three master-level killers and ten Wanchao first-class killers. Obviously, their sect must have high-level Shinto sects.
Zhou Yu did not kill these assassins, but asked Dugu Qiubai and others to capture them alive as much as possible, and forced them to confess the location of the Shinto Palace under repeated torture.
In addition, Zhou Yu also learned a lot of other information, such as: three of the five protective male gods came to support the Uesugi family, and that the Shinto and Onmyoji lineages were about to hold a high-level meeting at the Shinto Palace, etc.
After learning this, Zhou Yu made arrangements while secretly summoning masters, preparing to take advantage of the high-level gathering of the Shinto and Onmyoji lineages to kill them all.
The Shinto sect has gathered the top experts from all over Japan. If we can catch them all in one fell swoop, it will be easier to conquer Japan in the future.
But what Zhou Yu didn't expect was that before he even took action, Donghuang Taiyi actually brought the mysterious grandmaster Yuxiang, Jie Siyun, Ruoxi, and the newly recruited Yin Yang Tachibana Chiyo. These three female disciples
, and rushed directly to the Shinto Palace.
In addition, the Queen of Qin, who has not yet entered the palace, and Ye Qingmei, who likes to join in the fun, are also going to follow.
Zhou Yu didn't know what Taiyi was thinking, but he obviously didn't think that just six people could fight against the entire Shinto sect.
In order to prevent the six people from being killed by Shintoism, Zhou Yu sent the three great masters Dugu Qiubai, Huang Shang, and Chonglou, along with ten master masters including Qin Shuang, Xuanjian, Zhiri, Yang Xiao, and Fan Yao, as well as recent
One hundred black ice swordsmen, whose strength was at the top and first-class level, went at full speed to rescue the six people including Emperor Jiudong Taiyi.
Three Grand Masters, ten powerful Grand Masters, and hundreds of super first-rate and first-class swordsmen, plus Xiang Yu and Tai Yi who were the first to take the lead, this lineup is simply luxurious, second only to the Chang'an War where ten Grand Masters were dispatched a year ago.
.
Dugu Qiubei and others were also afraid that they would be late, so they could only collect the bodies for Taiyi and others, so they rushed as fast as possible throughout the whole journey, but they were still one step late.
When Dugu Qiubai and his people arrived at the Shinto Palace, all they saw were ruins, corpses everywhere, and the sound of mourning buried in the rubble.
"This, this...w(?Д?)w"
Both Chonglou and Huang Shang's faces were full of shock.
Neither of them had participated in the Chang'an War, so they couldn't believe that Taiyi and Yuxiang alone could destroy this huge Shinto Palace to this extent.
"Are we late?" Chonglou said with a bitter smile.
Huang Shang glanced sideways at Chonglou: "Isn't this obvious?"
Chonglou: "..."
Obviously everyone is a great master, why is the gap so big?
Chonglou and Huang Shang had just joined Great Qin and had not yet realized the true power of Great Qin, but Dugu Qiubai was an old man.
The scene in front of him surprised Dugu Qiubai, but it was not to the extent that he was horrified.
Zhanri, who was wearing a black iron mask, respectfully reported to Dugu: "Sir, these nearly a hundred corpses outside the Shinto Palace don't have any scars on their bodies, and the cause of death is a ruptured heart. They should have been injured by a big man."
A master-level man died by directly shattering his heart with his extremely powerful skills."
Dugu Qiubai was startled, killing nearly a hundred people with one move? There were many first-class and super-first-class experts among them, at least he was far from being able to do this.
"It should have been done by Senior Taiyi of the Yin Yang Family. Yu Xiang is still too young and cannot have such profound skills."
Dugu Qiubai analyzed it with a serious face, and then said indifferently: "Let's go and find out what happened here."
"promise."
Dugu Qiubai led everyone, ignoring the corpses on the road, and walked into the Shinto palace that had been reduced to ruins.
The Shinto Palace was a palace specially built by Oda Nobunaga in order to please Himiko and other high-ranking officials in the Shinto religion.
In order to build this palace, Oda Nobunaga recruited nearly 200,000 laborers. Construction started during the Yamatai period and was not completed until half a year after the founding of the Japanese Empire. It took a full five years to complete.
All the materials used in the Shinto Palace are of the highest quality, and the pavilions and pavilions inside are also extremely luxurious, as if they are out of this world.
To put it bluntly, even Oda Nobunaga's palace is not one-tenth of the size of the Shinto Palace.
This is recognized as the first palace of Japan and has a very special meaning in the hearts of all Japanese people and Shinto believers.
After Dugu Qiubai and others entered the Shinto Palace, what they saw and heard was no different from what they saw outside. There were still corpses and ruins everywhere. It was not until they went deeper that they discovered Xiang Yu and others. However, Xiang Yu was scolding Jie Siyun and other women at this time.
"Didn't I tell you that this side of the Shinto Palace is very dangerous? Didn't I tell you to go back the way you came? Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"
Xiang Yu scolded with anger in his eyes, feeling extremely disgusted with these three women who were afraid of the world being in chaos.
Even if he is looking for death, he still wants to bring his Ruoxi with him, which is totally pointless.
What Xiang Yu didn't know was that among the two people who asked to follow him, there was his daughter Ruoxi.
Of course, even if the three girls told Xiang Yu, they wouldn't believe it. After all, Ruo Xi was still so young and so obedient and sensible. How could she make such a dangerous decision? So it must be Ye Qingmei's fault.
Ye Qingmei retorted with an unconvinced look: "Wherever there is danger, Master Taiyi can handle it by himself, and with you as a great master here, who can hurt us?"
"you……"
Xiang Yu subconsciously wanted to refute, but was speechless.
Indeed, Taiyi alone has solved the problem of Shintoism, so what danger can there be to the Shinto Palace?
Couldn't Xiang Yu still be able to protect one girl and three women?
Wait? What did he just hear?
Master Taiyi?
Xiang Yu's eyes became weird, and his feelings towards Ye Qingmei's shamelessness increased to another level.
Are you Taiyi's apprentice, so you call someone master without permission?
Besides, what seniority is Taiyi in the Yin Yang family, and what seniority are you? How could he accept you as his disciple?
Ye Qingmei didn't care about Xiang Yu's disdain. Anyway, she wanted to worship Taiyi as her teacher and learn the way of cultivating immortals.
Xiang Yu noticed Dugu Qiubai's approach from afar, so he was not surprised at all when everyone arrived.
Chonglou was the first to ask: "Mr. Yu, what exactly happened here?"
"As you can see." Xiang Yu responded calmly.
"hiss……"
Except for Dugu Qiufei, all the experts present took a deep breath.
It's really outrageous that six people actually destroyed the entire Shinto sect.
Of course, Ye Qingmei and the other four women must have made up the numbers. Chonglou and others knew in their hearts that the only ones who really took action were Yu Xiang and Tai Yi.
"How on earth did you and Senior Taiyi do this? Shintoism has three great masters." Huang Shang quickly asked questions.
"this……"
Xiang Yu opened his mouth, but he knew what to say.
He wanted to correct everyone's misconceptions and tell them that it was not the two of them who took action, but Taiyi alone from beginning to end.
In addition, there are not only three great masters of Shintoism, but four.
But if the truth were told, then he, a young man in the prime of his life, could only watch Taichi, who was nearly a hundred years old, face the entire Shinto sect and the four great masters alone.
Xiang Yu is really a bit hard to talk about.
Xiang Yu was embarrassed to say that, but Xiao Ruoxi didn't have so many scruples. Tong Yanwuji said: "My father didn't take any action. Grandpa Taiyi did all this alone."
"What?"
This time, not only Chonglou and Huang Shang, but also the usually calm Dugu Qiubai were completely shocked by this answer.
Although Dugu Qiufei's time to become a Grandmaster was not much longer than Xiang Yu's, he was the type who had accumulated a lot of experience, and his cultivation after his breakthrough would naturally make rapid progress.
Therefore, Dugu Qiubei's current level and skill are above Xiang Yu's. Of course, Xiang Yu's combat power is definitely stronger.
Even for Dugu Qiufei, who has a lot of experience, it is really unimaginable that one person can fight against the entire Shinto religion and destroy so many palaces?
Is this really something humans can do?
"Also, your information from Heibingtai is wrong. There are not only three great masters of Shintoism, but four." Jie Siyun said.
"Four Grandmasters?"
Dugu Qiubai and the other three great masters all exclaimed. If there were really four of them, even the three of them might not be opponents. How could Taiyi deal with four great masters by himself?
"Where are these four great masters now?" Dugu Qiubai asked.
Before Jie Siyun had time to say anything, Ye Qingmei rushed to answer: "Of course Master Taiyi solved it."
"That's right." Jie Siyun nodded proudly.
Only then did she realize that Taiyi, the master, was so powerful that he could defeat the four great masters in a single fight. As a disciple of the Yin Yang family, she was naturally very proud.
"Wait a minute, sister Qingmei, even if you are not a disciple of the Yin Yang family, you are not necessarily a disciple of the master. You cannot call yourself the master without permission."
"What does it matter? Can the little girl join now? I will become a disciple as soon as I meet Master Taiyi."
Hearing Ye Qingmei's words, the corners of Jie Siyun's mouth twitched involuntarily.
What do you think joining the Yin Yang family means? Did you join just because you wanted to? Besides, even if you could join, it would be impossible to worship Grandmaster Taiyi as your disciple.
The two women simply ignored everyone and started arguing with each other. Little did they know that they were already numb in front of everyone present.
What on earth did they hear?
The four great masters of Shintoism were defeated by Taiyi alone?
Is this really not a dream?
"Senior Taiyi may have surpassed the Grand Master and reached an unknown new realm." Dugu Qiubei said to himself with a numb face.
"Senior Taiyi is no longer a human being." Chonglou said with a bitter smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, several sharp glances came towards him, signaling Chonglou to be careful when speaking.
Seeing this, Chonglou quickly said: "He is an immortal."
After hearing this, everyone let him go.
"Anyway, you will understand once you follow me."
Xiang Yu said with a complicated expression, and then led Dugu Qiubai and others to where they were hiding in the main hall.
The main hall is the center of the Shinto Palace and the place where the battle was most intense. Naturally, it was reduced to rubble without any surprise.
On top of the ruins, there are a large number of corpses, most of them are super masters, there are also the corpses of many masters, and there are even the corpses of two great masters, they are Izanagi and Izanami.
The two most powerful Grand Masters in the Japanese country all died tragically in Taiyi's hands, and they couldn't even burn their internal energy.
Since Izanagi said that Taichi hides his head and reveals his tail, Taichi will naturally fulfill his wish, reveal his true form, and come in person for a while.
Taiyi killed countless Shinto masters without breaking a sweat, which forced the four great masters to take action, and even teamed up to besiege Taiyi alone.
But even if he faced four great masters to the death, Taiyi remained calm and composed. When fighting one against four, not only did he not fall behind at all, but he actually had more strength to spare, as if the four of them were not at the same level as him.
In the end, nearly a hundred of the Shinto masters who had no time to dodge were directly killed by Taiyi's powerful Yin-Yang Aiki hand seal.
As for Amaterasu and the other four great masters, they were all seriously injured by this blow and fell to the ground.
The Shinto Palace, regarded as a place of faith by the Japanese, was directly reduced to ruins.
