A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 173

Following the guidance of Baiji Santaifu, Asai Nagamasa and A Xiu soon arrived at Pingdong Temple.

The ruins and overgrown weeds everywhere told them that this place had been abandoned for a long time, and some messy footprints also reminded them that there were some unexpected visitors here.

Goemon Ishikawa, who was the deputy of Momochi Santao, took the lead in conducting a reconnaissance, and then said with great certainty: "Master Asai, those are the beast monsters, there are about thirteen of them, including wolves, pigs, sheep, and dogs. And what’s very strange is that there was no fight between them.”

A ninja of his level could tell a lot just from the footprints, but he was still puzzled.

Wolves are hunters, dogs are guardians, and pigs and sheep are non-aggressive herbivores. Why can the monsters they transform into coexist in such a peaceful place?
"Then we should speed up the pace!"

With a low drink, Asai Nagamasa began to cast various auxiliary spells on his own, and pulled out the extremely conspicuous thunder knife - Xiaolong Jingguang.

At the same time, with a moo, the several-meter-tall bull-headed ghost Bohuang also emerged from a platycodon print. Then it stretched out its arms, twisted a small tree, and then carried it on its shoulders. It seems that he wants to use it as his own weapon.

Bai Di San Taifu may have gathered a lot of information from various aspects before, but now it is time for him to show his strength, so as to make the next covenant to be negotiated smoother!
Axiu naturally followed closely behind, but unlike Nagamasa Asai's multi-tasking, currently she has the best mastery of fire spells, because her guardian spirit is the wolf-shaped fire god.

At first, when they saw Asai Nagamasa's Thunder Blade and the energy armor on his body, the ninjas could barely maintain their composure. However, when the Minotaur appeared, not only the ordinary ninjas, but even Mochichi Santafu himself was worried. Frightened.

Their ninjas are inherently sharper than ordinary people or warriors, so they can feel the threat of this bull-headed monster even more. It is much stronger than the few bull-headed monsters they killed!

And unlike that kind of monster with a flesh and blood body, the large piece in front of you looks very illusory, and there seems to be gusts of sinister wind surrounding it. No matter how you look at it, you feel evil.

And the third prince of the hundred lands stared at the warrior Ji who hadn't been particularly outstanding before. Didn't expect the other party to use such power?

Momochi Santao glanced at Ishikawa Goemon secretly and motioned for him to come forward and inquire about the situation. He couldn't let him, the boss, talk about everything, right?

Ishikawa Goemon suddenly felt helpless, but he had to choose to obey. Who made the other party both his boss and his master, and most importantly, who made him unable to defeat the other party?
"Lord Asai, I wonder how this minotaur is different from the ones we have encountered before?"

Asai Nagamasa smiled slightly, and didn't say much: "It's a bull's head, the bull's head in the horse's face."

"Sir Taifu, please ask the ninjas of Iga to help seal this place to prevent any monsters from escaping. Please forgive me for taking the first step!"

The third husband of Momochi nodded after hearing this: "Lord Nagamasa, leave it to us ninjas from Iga!"

Before they knew it, they had changed what they called each other, which was a very good change.

Needless to say, Axiu immediately followed closely behind him. They were close partners fighting side by side.

The little miko Kaga also hugged the fox and led the dog, and trotted after it. Although she had never participated in any battles during this period, she learned a lot of knowledge, and she couldn't miss it this time!

However, when Asai Nagamasa and the others actually arrived in front of the main hall of Pingdou Temple, they found that they did not seem to need to fight this time.

Not only because almost half of the temple was submerged, but also because in front of a shimmering energy barrier, there was a pile of corpses piled up in a mess. The number was exactly thirteen, and Ishikawa Goemon was in front of it. judgments are completely consistent.

Looking at the barrier quickly disappearing in the air, Asai Nagamasa became more and more sure of his conjecture. Being able to maintain such a large area of ​​​​the barrier and being able to kill these low-level beastmen so easily can only explain one thing. The monster sealed inside was so powerful that it was unimaginable. Pingdong Temple should have deployed more than one magic circle and barrier.

It seems that the situation has not reached the worst point yet. The barrier is still maintained, and the big monster within it should not have come out yet.

It's just that Asai Nagamasa doesn't know how long this situation can last. Unfortunately, he can't do anything. Not to mention that he hasn't mastered many sealing magic circles yet, and he doesn't have many tools for building magic circles. Spiritual stone.

So, can we just ignore it?

Suddenly, the barrier glowed brightly, and Asai Nagamasa immediately tightened the thunder knife in his hand, but he did not find any monsters in his field of vision. Instead, only Axiu squatted on the ground to check the beastmen. When the barrier After it lit up, she was obviously confused.

Looking at the distance between Axiu and the barrier, Asai Nagamasa immediately understood. Could this barrier be used to determine the opponent's bloodline?

So it also reacted to Axiu, who was a half-demon?
What if it were you?

But before Asai Nagamasa could do an experiment, with a coquettish scream, a woman with a demon mask and a very exquisite figure jumped out of the ruins on the east side.

With a soft sound, Asai Nagamasa discovered that the weapon in the opponent's hand instantly turned into a giant scythe nearly two meters long.

His pupils suddenly shrank. He had seen this scene too many times, because Axiu often did this too, and the opponent turned out to be the same weapon as Axiu used - the naginata sickle.

He originally thought it was a weapon unique to Axiu, but then the identity of the other party became strange. She was probably related to Axiu's mysterious life experience!

"Damn you monster, don't even think about destroying the barrier here!" Another scream came out, and the strange woman jumped over immediately. Without even looking at Asai Nagamasa, she directly chose to attack A Xiu.

Of course, Axiu immediately raised her naginata and sickle to fight, but she did not detect any malice or murderous intent from the other party. However, the other party still rushed over so aggressively. Could it be that he wanted to spar with her?Then just stop there!
So the two girls using the same weapons fought together instantly. Soon Asai Nagamasa was a little surprised to find that this woman who jumped out of nowhere could actually rival Axiu to a certain extent.

She is no worse than A Xiu in terms of strength, agility, and speed. Her only weakness is that her physical strength is not as good as A Xiu's, and she appears slightly inferior when recuperating.

However, she was more proficient in using the naginata sickle than A Xiu, so she was still able to maintain an undefeated situation.

Although Asai Nagamasa, who knew Axiu well, knew that she seemed to have noticed something, so he obviously didn't use his full strength, but the other party didn't use his full strength either!

With Asai Nagamasa's current strength, it can be roughly seen through the psychic eye that the opponent's body is vaguely surrounded by water-type aura. Either she is outstanding in water-type spells, or she has a guardian spirit of the water-type on her body.

In this case, the reason why the other party appeared here and fought with A Xiu is worth pondering.

Is she here to recognize her, or is she simply unconvinced because the other party uses the same weapon?
No matter what the situation is, it shows that this woman is not completely unfamiliar with Axiu, and she also knows how to restrain her strength, at least she should not be regarded as an enemy for now.

At this time, Momochi Santafu also slowly gathered around with some ninjas, asking Asai Nagamasa with his eyes if he needed their help.

Asai Nagamasa shook his head, and when he waved, the two fire bombs slowly collided with the weapons, and the two people who were wrestling with each other flew out.

"Stop it, this might just be a misunderstanding."

The two girls took a few steps back in unison to avoid the fire bombs, but in fact Asai Nagamasa had no intention of using them for anything. He just held it from a distance, and the two fire bombs immediately dissipated in mid-air. middle.

"This strange Samurai Hime, I am Asai Nagamasa, and she is my companion Axiu. She is not a monster. We are also here to fight against monsters."

The unfamiliar Hime Warrior looked him up and down: "So you are the inheritor of the Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei, the legendary 'Omi Dragon' who defeated the monsters in Qingsu Castle?"

Asai Nagamasa immediately said modestly: "I have indeed killed many monsters, but the current me is still not fully worthy of it."

Although he also likes the title of "Dragon of Omi" very much, his current strength does not quite match it.

Looking at A Xiu next to him again, Ji Ji Ji said with some confusion: "Although I have heard what the monkey said, but when I saw with my own eyes, Mr. Asai, you are actually acting with such a suspicious person, I can't believe it." Ming is still very puzzled."

Asai Nagamasa immediately figured it out: "Monkey? Miss Wuming, are you talking about Tokichiro? It's probably because he knows that although Axiu is a half-demon, he has been hunting monsters."

Axiu's true identity is still difficult to conceal in front of the other party, after all, the performance of the enchantment just now has already explained everything.

"Is that so?" Warrior Ji Wuming nodded slightly, as if he finally relaxed a little.

"I am Wu Ming, the leader of Chuye Yazhong. We have been working hard to defeat monsters. After defeating Yanyanluo in Chuilu Mountain, I rushed to Kyoto to check the barrier here. Unexpectedly, I happened to see that scene just now.”

Wu Ming gave an overview of what happened in a few words, and also revealed her identity and the reason for her acquaintance with Tokichiro.

Although the other party seemed to be very hostile at first, but he turned an enemy into a friend so quickly, Asai Nagamasa knew that the other party must want something from him, so he went along with it.

"I see. I didn't expect that Ni Peng would have such an organization. Miss Wuming misunderstood Axiu. She is my companion and I can vouch for her."

Samurai Ji hummed softly, pressed the switch a few times, and turned the weapon into a small guillotine on his back: "If Master Asai is the guarantee, Wu Ming will naturally be willing to believe it."

"Thank you Miss Wuming, but I still have a question. I wonder what monsters are sealed in the barrier here?"

Hearing this, Wu Ming couldn't help but sigh softly: "I don't know either, I only know that our Chuye Yazhong have been monitoring the strange movements here for hundreds of years while fighting against the troublesome monsters. "

"But in recent days, there have been meteors falling from the sky, and then there have been earthquakes. Not only has the seal here been loosened, but monsters have gradually begun to appear in various places in Nibon."

"I don't know how long this barrier can last."

"Oh, really?"

Asai Nagamasa stretched out his hand gently as if inadvertently, and then Axiu next to him suddenly opened his eyes wide, because the other party's hand actually passed through the line without any obstacles, as if the barrier there did not exist at all. But it’s completely different from the treatment I just received!
