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

Chapter 79 Deadlock
So he deliberately looked hesitant at the moment, and finally sighed heavily as if he had made up his mind: "Humph, you are lucky this time, wait for me to come back for revenge next time!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, as if he didn't want to stay any longer.

Axiu blinked her eyes. Although she was a little confused for a moment, she still chose to follow out of her trust in Asai Nagamasa.

Qiao Ji, who was still very proud at first, suddenly became angry when she saw this: "What? You damn man, you want to escape after destroying my bridge? Are you scared?"

But despite her shouting behind him, Asai Nagamasa turned a deaf ear and even accelerated his pace.

This immediately made Qiao Ji even more angry, and her hatred and anger towards this man reached a new level.

"Don't even think about escaping! Come on, all of you, and kill that hateful man!"

After hearing Hashihime's order, the water ghosts roared like beasts, and then they started taking action.

But the kappas began to hesitate. Although they were controlled by Hashihime, as water monsters, they still had an instinctive fear of land. If it was not necessary, they did not want to land, let alone fight.

But when Qiao Ji raised her paper umbrella and waved it angrily as a threat, they had no choice but to give in.

It's just that the kappas' movements were inevitably a little slow, and their short legs couldn't run very fast, so they quickly opened a long distance from the water ghosts in front of them.

Although she was worried that the other party would run away at first, Qiao Ji soon discovered to her relief that the damn man was not very fast. It didn’t take long for him and his companions to be caught up by the water ghosts. .

No slogans were shouted at all, and a fierce battle began instantly.

After swiping his spear and repelling several disgusting water ghosts that rushed towards him, and taking a moment to glance in the direction of Hashihime, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but sigh secretly. It seemed that his little plan was not completely successful.

Whether out of caution or because he thought that these water ghosts and kappas were enough to deal with him, Hashihime did not leave the river, but just looked at it from a distance.

Really, if she dares to go ashore, I will definitely give her a good look.

But now, attracting so many water ghosts and kappas who are good at water fighting to the land a few hundred meters away from the shore is quite a victory!
"Axiu, since Qiao Ji still refuses to come up, let's go all out and kill these little monsters first!"

Asai Nagamasa shouted, rushed towards the group of water ghosts, and began to fight with his true strength.

Axiu also perked up, and pressed a few mechanisms with her hand. The long knife that was originally easy to carry instantly transformed into a giant sickle more than two meters long. After a horizontal slash, the two water ghosts who were hit suddenly transformed into They became two headless corpses and fell to the ground.

Then she advanced instead of retreating, and rushed directly into the group of water ghosts. As the giant scythe waved, the water ghosts were either forced to retreat, or their lives were harvested on the spot. Blue rancid bodily fluids splashed everywhere.

Seeing how ferocious Axiu was, Asai Nagamasa was not to be outdone. He stabbed with his spear repeatedly, hitting the head of a water ghost accurately every time.

Although water ghosts have ghost in their name, they are not ghosts, but monsters formed by some drowned ghosts who were unwilling to remain on the original corpses for evil purposes.

For them, the effect of ordinary attacks is not too great. After all, their bodies have long been rotten. It doesn't matter if they have one or two more wounds. However, their heads are still their vital parts. As long as they chop off their heads or directly kill them, With a headshot, even a water ghost would have to die.

Qiao Ji in the distance was soon surprised to find that the progress of the matter was completely different from what she had imagined before. Not only did these water ghosts fail to kill each other, but they were almost killed by each other. They were not ordinary samurai at all. I was just deceiving myself!

At this moment, Hashihime didn't care about the kappas who were still dawdling and did not participate in the battle. She just screamed extremely angrily: "Damn men, who are you!"

After kicking away a kappa on the left, Asai Nagamasa used a backhand shot to blast the head of a water ghost that was trying to attack. Then he swept away two water ghosts on the right and sent them directly to Axiu's body. In front of the giant scythe, as a cold light flashed, the two water ghosts suddenly turned into headless ghosts.

After all, water ghosts are just one of the lowest-level monsters, so after losing their heads, they fell softly to the ground and died.

Under the deterrence of their powerful force, the kappas who were cowering around and not attacking at all stopped one after another. After standing still for a few breaths, they invariably let out crow-like cries. They screamed hoarsely, then turned around and ran away.

Seeing that there were only three or five half-disabled water ghosts left on the field, and they had to face Axiu's scythe, Asai Nagamasa finally looked at Hashihime a hundred meters away: "Haha, we are just Just an ordinary samurai. Don’t you want to kill me? Then come here!”

"Ah, hateful man!"

Hashihime suddenly became more and more angry. She waved the paper umbrella in her hand slightly frantically, and shot out more than ten water arrows. However, because the distance was too far, these water arrows often began to turn into ordinary objects halfway through the flight. of water, and then fell to the grass, her attack was useless.

After roughly estimating the attack range of the opponent's spell, Asai Nagamasa took the initiative and approached: "Come on, Hashihime, don't you hate men very much? Why don't you dare to kill me when I'm standing here? ?" It took a long time to get here, at least something should be gained.

The kappas were too weak, and their demon power was close to zero. Even if they caught up and killed the group in front of them, they might not be able to obtain half a soul core.

Water ghosts are just putrid corpses and unwilling souls. Even in ancient times, many onmyoji believed that they were not even real monsters, because except for some dead energy, resentment, etc. that needed to be specially collected, they could not even do anything. Contribute any other loot.

So all this can only fall to Qiao Ji in the end.

The premise is that she must crawl out of the river first, otherwise judging from the current situation, even if he and Axiu work together, there is almost nothing they can do against her.

"Ah, damn man!"

Faced with Asai Nagamasa's provocation, Hashihime became even more furious, especially when she saw Axiu standing side by side with Asai Nagamasa after killing all the remaining water ghosts. Water arrows shot at him one after another.

But in front of Asai Nagamasa, who had already calculated the opponent's maximum range, all this was just in vain, she was just wasting her energy.

After several more provocations, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but feel a slight headache. Although this Hashihime scolded her fiercely, in fact, she was like a turtle, nesting in the middle of the river and refusing to come out.

Unexpectedly, she didn't know if it was because of the power of the river, but her magic power was unexpectedly deep. After using water arrows hundreds of times in a row, she still didn't show any signs of fatigue.

This was a bit troublesome. Asai Nagamasa didn't want to resist the opponent's spell attack, because he saw with his own eyes that after a water ghost's body was attacked by a water arrow, a bowl mouth appeared directly in the area where it was hit. big and small, with big holes that are transparent from the front to the back.

The power of Hashihime's water arrows is much greater than that of ordinary iron cannons. In terms of power alone, it may have surpassed most of the submachine guns of later generations.

As a result, the two sides fell into a deadlock. Even Axiu had to be cautious after seeing the miserable situation of the water ghost. The defense power of ordinary armor was meaningless in the face of such an attack.

Listening to Hashihime's repeated curses that almost never changed, Asai Nagamasa was speechless. After reaching out and touching something on his waist, he finally gave up and chose to pick up Saito Dao instead. The Cathay longbow gifted by the three institutes shot an arrow at the head.

But Qiao Ji had no fear. She just shook the paper umbrella slightly, and the flowing water turned into a huge water shield, easily blocking the arrow.

Hashihime pinched the arrow embedded in the middle of the water shield and broke it in two. She stared at Asai Nagamasa fiercely: "Damn man, if you have the guts, come down and I will treat you like this It breaks easily like an arrow!"

At this time, Asai Nagamasa was really at his wits end. He could only look at Axiu next to him for help, hoping that the other party could give some advice.

Axiu shook her head, pointed at the water, then at herself, and then shook her head again.

Asai Nagamasa was a little confused and didn't understand what the other party meant, but it wasn't until he noticed the faint blush on Axiu's face that he was surprised and at the same time turned his head slightly embarrassed, seeming to understand something.

No wonder Axiu hated the light rain before. She was probably not feeling well today.
But Axiu actually showed such an expression, which really surprised him. It seemed that as a half-demon, she didn't really have no expression, but she rarely showed it.

Damn it, although my folding fan has been repaired, Qiao Ji has been staying in the center of the river. It is impossible for me to use earth magic to deal with her. Is it possible that she left in such a dejected manner?

Really, it seems that after today, I should learn other spells.

The yellow dragon belongs to earth, and the winged bird has both the attributes of wind and fire. If you can learn the spells of these three attributes at the same time, you will have some means to deal with this kind of situation in the future.

Just when Asai Nagamasa was thinking of retreating, the back shell of a kappa suddenly appeared again on the river in the distance and approached quickly.

Although there is only one head, the area of ​​​​the back shell is several times larger, and it is more ferocious and thick.

Asai Nagamasa immediately became vigilant. No wonder he always felt that something was wrong before. Could this guy be the real enemy that threatened him?

But at the same time, he was also a little confused. He had never heard of a kappa that could grow so big. In fact, due to the kappa's naturally weak constitution, one meter was basically their maximum height, and they did not have any leader or king. Such existence is, in short, just a piece of loose sand, at the bottom of the food chain of many monsters.

Now there is such a big kappa. Is this related to Hashihime who can control kappa?

By controlling a kappa king, you can then control other kappas?
　No more today, sorry
