Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1587 1559. Face to face

And at the bottom of the huge structure that was crisscrossed and interconnected, A Xiu and the other two who ran down from the top tower were intercepted by Saito Yoshitatsu's men as expected after they had crossed one-third of the height.

This is a plot that is much smaller than the top plot, but still large enough to be used as a human arena.

But at the beginning, A Xiu and the others were in a much more dangerous situation than they are now.

They were blocked on a narrow stone beam by Saito Yoshitatsu's men and were in a dilemma.

Ah Xiu herself doesn't really care about the injuries from falling from heights nowadays.

After all, with Lan's help, her control over her demonization state has far surpassed that of before.

In this state, the damage will first be borne by her demonic energy. If the demonic energy cannot bear the damage, she will be knocked out of her demonic state.

She herself will not be hurt at all in the process.

As for the damage caused by falling from a high altitude, not to mention that "the speed of falling has a limit due to air resistance", the impact it can cause is only a moment, a matter of a split second.

No matter what, Ah Xiu's [Monsterization] can withstand the hardness.

At most, the demonic energy will be emptied.

But she is a half-demon. Even without the demonic aura, she still has the physical strength and vitality of a human. She can still move freely, unlike ordinary monsters who just lie down.

Besides, in her monster form, she can naturally maintain a suspended state more than ten centimeters above the ground.

Although she hasn't actually tried it, Ah Xiu guessed that if she fell in this state, she wouldn't be seriously injured.

But Wuming and Saito Dosan obviously can't do that.

Although both of them have guardian spirits protecting them, their martial arts are still far from being able to wield the [Ninety-Nine Weapons].

It is not possible to let the power of the guardian spirit cover the whole body, and the body will not be harmed at all before the power of the guardian spirit is consumed.

Although Lan En used Ah Xiu's transformed monster state and the way [Turbid Flow·Destruction] absorbed the demonic energy and essence as reference inspiration, he had already figured out how to lower the threshold of the [Ninety-Nine Weapons] technology.

However, this idea has not yet been perfected, and there is no chance for Wuming and others to learn it.

So on this stone beam we can only force our way forward!
The moment Ah Xiu figured out the situation, his two swords suddenly flashed with a sharp cold light.

But before the half-demon beauty could move forward.

On this narrow stone beam, her father behind her took an extremely risky move and flashed in front of her.

He held the spear straight forward in his hand, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"Let's charge, Yixiu! I'll clear the way for you!"

Fathers in the Confucian cultural circle always seem to have this tone, using a tone that is so tough that it is almost a scolding and command, to announce to their children that they will bear the greatest risks and hardships.

The people blocking Saito Yoshitatsu's way were a group of seemingly normal human samurai and foot soldiers.

But this kind of disguise can only fool ordinary people who have not practiced martial arts.

Relying on the martial arts of this world, the precise control and perception of internal energies such as energy, physical strength, etc.

Saito Dosan could easily feel that what was surging in the body of the person in front of him was definitely not human physical strength and energy, but demonic energy!

Even if it still has a face that seems vaguely familiar to you, it is no longer the same person!
"Ota, as my former hatamoto, have you also fallen into a demon?!"

"Master Michisan, this is loyalty! Now! It's you! Who are against the current head of the family! The current daimyo!"

"No point in talking! Look at the gun!"

The two people's different opinions drifted away in the cold wind and air currents in the sky.

Saito Dosan suddenly thrust the spear in his hand forward in front of him!
As the former leader of the Chuyeshi clan, he was already good at martial arts, but he had only practiced the naginata sickle technique to kill monsters in the first half of his life.

Later, he decided to steal the country, and then he turned to the Toki clan who admired him and learned some martial arts against humans.

With the foundation and talent there, he was able to do well even if he changed his career.

Saito Dosan's spear is named "Ipenny-bearing Spear".

The name is a play on the Western legend of the "Oil Seller", which says that even an oil seller, after mastering the technique, can make the oil flow through the square hole in the middle of a copper coin without splashing out.

Saito Dosan entered the Toki family's officialdom in his early years. When he explained his past experiences, it was not easy for him to say that he was some hidden monster hunter leader. In addition, he did work as an oil seller for a period of time, so he could say that he was in the oil business before.

From an oil seller he became a samurai, hence the name "Yiwenqiantong" as a commemoration of him.

At this moment, Yiwen Qiantong ruthlessly stabbed his former subordinate enemy!

"Drink!"

Saito Dosan's heroic face emitted a roar that matched his expression!
As the spear thrust forward, the special technique made this blow, which should have been sharp and penetrating, become more powerful and no longer concentrated.

【Long Spear·Mingshan】!
Saito Dosan's spear stabbed, creating a shock wave at the tip of the spear that spread forward in a fan shape!

The vitality of monsters is much more stubborn than that of humans.

But Saito Dosan was not seeking to kill at all at this time, he just wanted to clear the way!
In this terrain, gravity will do the killing for him. On the narrow stone beam, the first person to be hit and stabbed by the spear blade was a samurai named "Ota".

As if due to the stimulation of the injury, a foul black smoke suddenly burst out from his head.

Then his neck suddenly stretched to more than two meters!
Only the neck was stretched to look like a snake's body, and nothing else changed.

This kind of monster is called "Lu Lu Shou", which is a monster that looks no different from a human before revealing its true form. In some places, it is also confusedly called "Fei Tou Man".

Ota still had a chance to reveal his true form, but the group of people behind him didn't even have that chance. They were directly knocked to the ground by Saito Dosan's [Mingshan] shock wave.

He fell directly off the stone beam!
A long and distant scream was left in the wind at high altitude, followed by the final dull sound of landing.

"Charge!" Saito Dosan kept moving and holding the spear, shouting, "Don't stop! Move!"

Ah Xiu was caught in the middle, Wu Ming held up the naginata sickle from behind, and the rotating [Kaiten Blade] acted like a shield, repelling all the bullets and arrows shot from behind.

The three were thus able to move forward, quickly rushing down and retreating on the narrow stone beam.

Finally, we descended one third of the altitude and found a spacious plot of land.

But this is neither good nor bad.

The good thing is that we can finally escape from the dangerous and narrow stone beam, but the bad thing is that the enemy can finally besiege us.

The windlass head looked exactly like a human, and Saito Dosan recognized many familiar faces at a glance.

I placed them in Inabayama Castle, hoping that they could assist my old friends Saito Yoshitatsu.

And in all directions, there were demons and ape ghosts with red bodies and twisted muscles. There were also foreign soldiers with deformed and enlarged left arms, and so on.
Groups of monsters blocked the way on all sides.

On this huge structure that is interconnected in all directions, the howling of monsters, the roar of humans, and the collision of weapons can be heard continuously through the wind in the sky.

And amid the surging crowd of monsters, the sound of footsteps in armor slowly sounded.

The monsters separated spontaneously, leaving a figure behind.

It was Saito Yoshitatsu, who was wearing a majestic suit of armor and an old man's mask on his face!
At this moment, the bright red crazy light in the eyes under the helmet and above the visor was so dazzling!
“Yilong!!”

Even though Saito Dosan had already accepted the reality that his heir was bewitched by the spirit stone, when he really came face to face with the heir, he still couldn't help but burst into shouting!
"Is this what I taught you to be crazy about the Spirit Stone?! Is this how you promised me to protect Mino?!"

His father's shout did not slow down Saito Yoshitatsu's pace at all.

Just with a sound of metal scraping, she drew her knife.

The monsters were already ready to move, and Wuming and Saito Dosan also clenched their weapons, looking around nervously and agilely.

"That kid was right." Saito Dosan thought helplessly, "Does Yoshitatsu have to kill her father with her own hands to feel at ease?"

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking too much.

Saito Dosan was not a fussy person.

Now that we are surrounded here, the only way out is to fight hard!

But just as he was thinking this, a gust of wind suddenly blew up behind him!

With a 'swish' sound, the wind even ruffled the corners of his clothes.

"Yixiu?!"

"Hey! Ah Xiu!"

Saito Dosan and Wuming were both shocked and shouted.

Ah Xiu, who had already rushed out like a gust of wind, did not even turn his head back. In his eyes, which were like a pool of spring water, there was only a cold light! He only stared at Saito Yoshitatsu!

Lann was right.

In fact, I have no emotional ties with my so-called father, my twin sisters, or the Saito family.

To me, the fighting between them is no different from the killing between father and son of a daimyo in a distant place.

But now I have felt the protection of Saito Dosan.

Even if I put everything aside, I will never associate with a monster that causes chaos and kills people!
So. I'm going to kill you!

I will kill you without hesitation or delay! Saito Yoshitatsu!
With an extremely clear and focused murderous intent, Ah Xiu's concentrated murderous intent at this moment even made Saito Yoshitatsu, who had shown no emotional fluctuations since the beginning, tremble!
Yilong immediately blocked the long sword in his hand in front of him!

"Dang!!!"

There was a bang and sparks!

Ah Xiu's two swords were already crossed and pointed at it!

The clear blue eyes and the bright red, confused eyes are intertwined!
"Drink!"

A Xiu let out a loud shout that was full of power and energy.

She moved her feet, pushed Saito Yoshitatsu and turned in a direction where there were few monsters. She rushed all the way and pushed the opponent out of this area!
The two began to fall amid screams!
