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

Chapter 253 Weiming City

"'The Tiger of Koyama'-Iifu Tiger is here!"

"'Escape from the Bullet' - Enter Kosaka Masaru Nobusan!"

"'Oni Mino' - Yuan Huyin is coming!"

Just stepped into Weiming City, a large group of warriors wearing red battle armor, looking a little tired, but with unexpected expressions, shouted loudly the name that is very famous in the entire Kanto region, swarming They surrounded them and launched an attack on Asai Nagamasa and others.

Uesugi Teruhu was so happy when he saw that he was hunting, he immediately gave a low shout and took the initiative to launch a counter-charge. Soon they became a group, and the sound of "bing-ping-pong" could be heard for a while.

However, her opponent's strength was obviously not as good as hers. Even if she had not used any power from the guardian spirit at all, even if she was one against many, she would not be at a disadvantage.

However, Asai Nagamasa felt very strange, because these Takeda family warriors did not seem to be puppets controlled by others. They seemed to still have their own consciousness. Pure puppets would never be able to display these many martial arts skills.

And when he stepped into Ashina City, just like when he entered the valley a few days ago, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly became a few percent stronger.

Of course, it is far behind Fengdu. The two are not on the same level at all.

But there is also a characteristic here, that is, it is really big.

From the outside, it seemed that this city could only accommodate a thousand people, but after crossing a certain limit, he discovered that this was also a kind of folding of space. Even though this Ashina city was inferior to Kyoto, it was still more powerful than the entire Nippon. It is said that it is definitely a first-class giant city.

The distance between east, west, north and south is far more than a thousand meters, and there are endless pavilions and pavilions that can accommodate even ten thousand people, let alone thousands of people.

The only pity is that it is too quiet here. Except for the nearly a hundred Takeda family samurai in front of me, there are probably no other humans in this huge city.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky, and as expected, he found that there was no sun on it either. Instead, there were patches of gloomy and gloomy clouds, among which vaguely resentful faces flashed, which looked full of ominous meaning.

Recalling what Xianfeng said before, an entire city was devoured by the nobles of the Source Palace, and he couldn't help but sigh: outsiders thought this place was a fairyland, but they didn't know that it was no different from the underworld.

If you really drink the water of the Kirigakure nobles and become his life-extending food, constantly experiencing death, rebirth, and death again, and even your soul has dissipated, how can you still be considered alive?
Seeing that as Uesugi Terutora quickly gained the upper hand, more and more samurai began to pour out of the city. They were running and shouting their names loudly. They definitely didn't look like this. Zombies and their like are more like being trapped in some kind of strange fantasy.

Under this illusion, their fighting power was greatly exerted, and they didn't know who they recognized Uesugi Teruhora. They were all gnashing their teeth, as if they wanted to devour her flesh and blood.

Especially after two of the samurai shouted slogans to protect Lord Takeda Shingen, Asai Nagamasa became more certain.

But despite this, it did not prevent Axiu and Ii Naotora from going up to fight them, because no matter whether they were in an illusion or not, the swords and guns in their hands were real.

Asai Nagamasa also took advantage of the situation and got involved. He pretended to find an opponent and disguised himself as an ordinary samurai while he explored the surroundings.

The previous noble Kirigakure seemed to want to eat alone, so he went to the aquatic village alone to set a trap. However, with so many samurai trapped in the illusion, it was obviously impossible for a so-called noble to complete it independently.

Moreover, the samurai here are all samurai from the Takeda family. Where did the sword master Kamiizumi Hidetsuna and the other Nagano Sixteen Guns go?
But since the nobleman Wuyin regards the villagers of Shuisheng Village as food, then these warriors who are stronger and have more energy in their bodies should be better food for the nobles of Yuanzhi Palace, right?
Perhaps, they also knew that this place would see the light of day again, so they used genjutsu to control the Takeda family's samurai, let them serve as guards, and brought all the Nagano family's samurai to the Source Palace to be used as food?

Then should I be defeated on purpose and be taken away by them together?
While thinking, Asai Nagamasa continued to detect any suspicious movements around him. At the same time, he waved his hand again to block the spear of a samurai in front of him who called himself "Gunmamasa" Hoshina Masatoshi.

Not to mention, although it seems not worth mentioning to him, without counting additional factors such as guardian spirits and spells, if the opponent's strength is placed in the Asai family, they are definitely qualified to compete for the top five or even the top three. .

Except for Shima Sakon's ability to defeat him, neither Isono Umasa nor Endo Naosuke were completely sure. They were indeed worthy of being samurai of the famous Takeda family.

The several samurai who fought Uesugi Teruhora on the other side were also extraordinary, and some of them were even stronger than this "Gundamama", which even made Asai Nagamasa a little moved.

If we kill them all here, the strength of the entire Takeda family will be weakened by at least [-] to [-]%, right?

However, he just thought about it and did not actually put it into practice, because in the blink of an eye, Teruhora Uesugi had already knocked out Iito Tomasa, nicknamed "Koyama Tiger", with the handle of the knife. It was obvious that the two families were enemies. , but she didn’t seem to have much murderous intention towards them.

Axiu on the other side also knocked out another samurai general with his sickle almost at the same time, and then waved the sickle like a whirlwind, sweeping away the group of samurai in an instant.

Although she did not mobilize all her strength, nor did she deliberately want to kill them, injuries were inevitable, and for a while, a flaw appeared in this small encirclement.

And precisely because of this flaw, Asai Nagamasa keenly heard someone couldn't help but curse in a low voice. The accent was just like the Kirigakure nobleman he killed before.

He immediately kicked out the enemy in front of him, then raised his hand to summon a huge magic circle, which directly enveloped a three-story building. A large amount of soil rose up from the ground, seeming to want to cover the entire The pavilions were all dragged underground together.

With a soft sound of "Boo", a certain special barrier was broken, the curses suddenly became louder, and then hundreds of transparent tentacles emerged from the pavilion.

Although it seemed very difficult, they finally blocked Asai Nagamasa's move.

However, due to its impact, the entire roof of the pavilion was still broken into pieces, revealing dozens of monsters in purple or red clothes. They were the nobles of the Source Palace that Xianfeng mentioned before.

Just like the previous Kirigakure nobles, although they were once human beings, their appearance is now different from mortals, and they are uglier than the Kirigakure nobles.

Not only was the chin covered with octopus tentacles that looked like living creatures, but the translucent neck also grew several minutes out of thin air and was covered with translucent and unknown mucus.

The most eye-catching thing is their lower body, where the legs have long been missing, replaced by a mess of tentacles.

Maybe they were once humans, but now they are more like monsters transformed from octopuses.

It's just that although they are more like youkai than the Kirigakure nobles, their actual strength is several times weaker, and their intelligence seems to be much worse. After being attacked by Asai Nagamasa, they seemed to not even fight back. They had no thoughts at all, they just stared at him and drooled.

It was obvious that, just like their comrade who had been killed, they also longed for the vigorous vitality in Asai Nagamasa.

Being able to bypass the several protective spells that are always on his body and see through part of his true power may be their unique talent.

These glances really annoyed him, so he summoned a huge fireball without hesitation. Not only did the other party anger him, but also because he had already sensed part of the truth.

Although there were only dozens of enemies in his sight, there were more unabashedly greedy eyes on the second floor, first floor, and even the basement of that attic.

More importantly, when the barrier outside the pavilion was destroyed, he felt a fighting spirit soaring into the sky, and even the resentful clouds in the sky had to avoid it.

At this time and here, it can only belong to one person, and that is the Sword Master Kamiizumi Hidetsuna!
The nobles of the Palace of Origin screamed and cursed again. Dozens of people joined forces, and dense energy tentacles appeared again, trying to intercept the attack.

But they soon discovered to their horror that their spells were ineffective and could not even delay the speed of the fireball!The fireball exploded with a bang. After a few breaths, only a foundation was left in the already severely damaged pavilion. The three-story building disappeared out of thin air. Hundreds of nobles from the Palace of Origin were destroyed in this blow. Instead, a stalemate in the basement was revealed.

Dozens of red-clothed nobles performed their duties. Some summoned illusory tentacles to control an extremely old warrior in the middle, who was about seventy or eighty years old. Others seemed to be using some kind of unique illusion to control the situation. Control him.

No, it seems that it is not just illusions, but also traces of essence that are almost visible to the naked eye.

However, with Asai Nagamasa's blow, the spells of many nobles in red were affected, and their spells began to become vaguely unstable. The most intuitive manifestation was the elderly samurai who was holding a long sword and seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed. , his eyes began to move incessantly, and even the sword intent on his body became more and more audacious!

Asai Nagamasa naturally pounced on him immediately. At the same time, he was also slightly surprised in his heart, not only because he had [-]% determined the identity of the other party, but also because he could clearly see the unique guardian spirit in the other party's body.

It was an extremely simple blue long sword with no extra decorations or patterns on it, but an aura of nobility exuded from the inside out.

I never thought that in addition to various gods and beasts, could even dead objects become guardian spirits?

At this moment, the sword master Kamiizumi Hidetsuna suddenly opened his eyes, and an extremely sharp aura burst out from him, instantly breaking through all the entanglements. There was only a soft "clang" sound, and the long sword suddenly came out. The sheath, with just one turn, had already neatly cut off the heads of four red-clothed nobles.

The remaining nobles in red were shocked and cast spells one after another, summoning more tentacles to try to stop him, but the sword master did not dodge, and his proud sword intent condensed into shape, as if to him and his long sword. They were all covered with a layer of white light.

Wherever the long sword passed, no matter it was the spell or the body of the red-clothed noble, it was like grass and grass, completely unstoppable!

At this time, Asai Nagamasa had also arrived. The Seven-Star Sword in his left hand and the black knife in his right hand opened the door. The two blades were dancing wildly, killing everyone who stood in their way. In less than five breaths, there was no longer any living enemy in their sight. .

After doing all this, Hidetsuna Kamizumi took a breath and said, "I'm sorry, it's our first time meeting you. I am Hidetsuna Kamizumi. Thank you His Highness Asai for saving your life."

Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this. He noticed that the sword intent on the opponent's body quickly faded away, and at the same time, the opponent's guardian spirit was like a dead thing, losing almost all its energy and brilliance.

Even the whole body was trembling slightly involuntarily, and it seemed that the other party's explosion just now seemed to have exhausted all the potential and power.

And more importantly, Asai Nagamasa seemed to see that the other party's fire of life was quickly fading away.

The reason why he can still stand here is probably because of his last pride and persistence as a sword master.

"Hidetsuna-sama, your body"

Although it was only the first time that the two parties met, they never doubted the identity of the other party. Even though Hidetsuna Kamizumi was only the general of the Nagano family, his achievements in kendo were enough to make Nagamasa Asai respect him. .

Kamiizumi Hidetsuna couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and reluctantly leaned on a broken pillar behind him. Although it was a bit rude, if he didn't do this, he was worried that he would fall directly to the ground, which would be even more rude.

"I thought this place would be a fairyland, but I didn't expect that there were monsters everywhere. My life force has been absorbed by the monsters. Maybe my swordsmanship can only stop here today."

While speaking, his eyes were full of regret.

He originally thought that he was close to the peak of swordsmanship and that there were not many goals to pursue in life. However, he did not expect that in the past few months, the situation was turbulent. More and more strange rumors were born in various parts of Nippon, and even he was accidentally involved. Gaining unexpected strength gave birth to new dreams and goals.

Especially when the legendary Ashina Castle and Source Palace appeared, he felt a strange throbbing in his heart. It seemed that he had a premonition that he would benefit a lot from this trip.

But he never expected that his dream had just begun and would end here.

Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but sigh. Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world. Time is always the enemy of mankind.

Originally, Kamiizumi Hidetsuna was already in his fifties, and with so much vitality absorbed by the nobles in red, his remaining time was even shorter. Even without the last explosion, he might have He won't live much longer.

Maybe he himself knew his situation, so he acted like that.

Looking at Asai Nagamasa's appearance, Ueizumi Hidetsuna laughed instead. He glanced at Uesugi Terutora and the Ahide girls who were running quickly in the distance, as well as the many warriors of the Takeda family who seemed to have regained their composure: "Your Majesty Asai, there is no need to sigh. Although I will die here, Nibon's swordsmanship will not be cut off. There are so many heroes in the world!"

After taking a few deep breaths, he continued: "I just wish I could meet His Highness Asai and His Highness Uesugi soon, so that maybe I wouldn't be so lonely."

"But it's not too late, I have a sword, I will give it to His Highness Asai, and help His Highness crusade against the demons here!"

With a soft drink, Kamiizumi Hidetsuna suddenly pierced his chest with his hand, grabbed the small green sword in his chest, and handed it to Asai Nagamasa.

It's not a spiritual separation, but a direct gift, and it's still given in such a tragic way!

Asai Nagamasa sighed, stretched out his hand to borrow it, and the small green sword immediately integrated into his body like a swimming fish, and immediately began to desperately absorb the spiritual energy. It seemed that it was staying in Kamiizumi Hidetsuna's body, which really made it Suffered a lot.

Although he is a well-known sword master in the world, he may not be better than ordinary Onmyoji in terms of magic and spiritual power.

Feeling the many pictures and information flowing rapidly in his mind, he actually felt a lot of gratitude, even gratitude, to the sword master in front of him, because that seemingly ordinary long sword had a very unusual name.

His name is Meng Zhang, which has the same name as Donghua Qinglong. He is an extremely rare divine sword guardian spirit with the three attributes of water, wood, and wind. Now his formation in Fengdu will be completely perfected.

At the same time, the memory that contains the opponent's many kendo skills belongs to him.

This is not the fragmented memory that Huang originally carried, but the 51-year swordsmanship experience of a Nippon swordsman!

Although there are still many differences between pure memory and the power that can be exerted in actual combat, and although his pure swordsmanship is slightly inferior in power to Minamoto Noraimitsu's swordsmanship mixed with many spells, it still helps Asai Nagamasa. Shockingly large.

It can be said bluntly that with his talent and potential, as long as he is given enough time to learn the swordsmanship, he will be the next sword master of Nibon. How can he not be grateful to the other party?

Asai Nagamasa sighed again: "Don't worry, Lord Hidetsuna, I have received your wish, and I will also rescue the young master of the Nagano family and your nephew for you."

But Kamiizumi Hidetsuna was no longer able to respond to him, because he had already maintained that action and passed away with a smile.

Part of his swordsmanship has been handed over to many disciples, including his nephew, and now the remaining part has been handed over to the famous "Dragon of Omi". In any case, he does not have to worry about his swordsmanship being buried. .

Seeing Uizumi Hidetsuna's expression of no regrets, Asai Nagamasa suddenly smiled.

He had to admit that the reason why he was so cooperative with the other party just now was because he couldn't bear to break this special scene. However, Kamiizumi Hidetsuna didn't know that for him who owns the Rings of Fengdu and Yama, the death of the physical body will last forever. It doesn't mean the real end.

And if someone like the other party was killed so easily by some unknown people, it would be a pity for the entire Nibon!
