Lord of the Earth

Chapter 686: Bai Qi kills the god, the battle is over!
The sun and the moon are in the same sky, and the sky is like blood.

The clouds above the Shogunate's royal castle had been torn into flake-like fragments by the two gusts of divine power rising into the sky...

Bai Qi stood in the center of the "Infernal Hell", with a surging river of bones and blood under his feet. The black crystal sword in his hand kept humming, and the charred spells floating on the sword's spine were like thousands of roaring venomous snakes!
Tokugawa Ieyasu's statue of "Toshojin" is over a thousand feet tall, with a halo of the scorching sun hanging behind his head. Divine power transformed from the power of faith flows through his armor made of golden light.

The Tosho-jingu Shrine where it is located has been transformed into a "heavy weapon", making it "invincible"!
"Japanese Shinto is nothing but a fraud and a rip-off."

Bai Qi sneered, and as he swung the sword in his hand, the resentment of countless Sakura citizens seeped out from the void and turned into gray mist that entwined around the "Tosho Jingu Shrine"!
"It was Tokugawa Ieyasu... this beast did it on purpose..."

"As a great general, he had the responsibility to protect our country, but he was unwilling to save us... He allowed these monsters to wreak havoc and eat us... Why is it that he was able to gain power even though we are already dead..."

"I am unwilling to accept this. Such a person is unworthy of being an emperor. He should be punished in the eighteen hells..."

In the mist, a large number of "vengeful spirits" from the Sakura Country emerged, looking at the magnificent "Tosho-jingu Shrine" with ferocious faces!
Many people even hope that the gods will fall into eternal damnation just like themselves.

"Tokugawa Ieyasu, are you wondering why these people hate me, even more than they hate you... Because I have already told them that you deliberately released these hundred demons to devour living beings and accumulate faith..."

There was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood floating around the "God of Killing" above Bai Qi's head, and a voice like thunder came out of his mouth!

"Nonsense..."

Tokugawa Ieyasu's face changed.

Bai Qi almost had his arm cut off by his sword.

This is my own "stain" and must not be made public!

Otherwise, it will greatly affect people's hearts and minds, and will also affect the piety of the believers' "faith".

However, he could stop Bai Gui from telling the story, but he couldn't stop Bai Qi...

"Tokugawa Ieyasu, you still want to deny it now? This One Hundred Demons Night Parade Scroll is a precious weapon, and you have already refined it into your life-long treasure... You deliberately released us in the beginning to highlight your ability... Now, you have turned your back on it... You are such a great hero, but you dare not take responsibility for what you did, and make people laugh at you?"

Tamamonomae's voice sounded, and the charming voice was like a spring breeze, spreading towards the entire city!

Every sword strike by Bai Qi would slow down the operation of Tokugawa Ieyasu's own "divine power", forcing him to disperse a portion of his divine power to fight back.

As a result, Tokugawa Ieyasu had no ability to continue suppressing these Hundred Demons...

The three ghost kings naturally hope that Tokugawa Ieyasu will be killed by Bai Qi, so that they can compete for the control of this important Xuanhuang weapon!

"What? These hundred ghosts were deliberately released by the general..."

"So, all the suffering we've encountered is a conspiracy?"

"Those who eat meat are despicable and regard the people as straw dogs... It turns out that everything is just a calculation... Dongzhao Shenjun is not a god in heaven, but a devil on earth..."

As soon as these words came out, those people in the city who were kneeling in front of the shrine and offering their faith to "Eastern God" were stunned. The more some people thought about it, the more they felt that this matter was really possible, and they began to doubt it...

"Humph, you are spreading rumors to confuse the people..."

With a roar, Hattori Hanzo rushed forward, the light emitted by the knife in his hand condensed into a huge "samurai" figure behind him, and he waved his hand to cut off one of Shuten Douji's arms who was still trying to speak...

"This thing is that sword!"

Shuten-doji could no longer maintain his "boy" form, and roared in pain.

This is simply because the opponent's "sword" has a huge restraining power over him. It is the "fifth most divine weapon in the world" that Minamoto no Raikou used to "kill" him in the legend of the Sakura Country!
Although Hattori Hanzo's own power is not strong, he is now suppressed by the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade", and the opponent is holding a restraining magic weapon...

Instead, he was injured, which made Shuten-doji, who was arrogant by nature and had previously looked down on this "Ghost Hanzo", extremely angry.

"This king will kill you..."

Suddenly, he gave up fighting against the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" and fought with Hattori Hanzo with a roar!
However, the battle between the two was obviously just a supporting role.

"hateful……"

The real main battlefield is still Bai Qi and Tokugawa Ieyasu!

The battle between the two sides tore apart the sky and the earth, causing the sun and the moon to lose their light, but it was obvious that Tokugawa Ieyasu was gradually losing the upper hand.

Just because the faith of some people has become less devout.

You know, these beliefs are the source of Tokugawa Ieyasu's "divine power". Once they are questioned by believers, this part of "incense" will turn into "poison"...

"The way of the gods gathers the faith of all living beings and is a great road to heaven. However, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it! Faith is the foundation of the way of the gods, and it can also become a death warrant for the gods..."

Therefore, before the Qianxia Dynasty reached the level of the Dynasty of Fortune, it would not follow the "path of faith" and would not deify people at will!

Each man has a sword, and is filled with murderous intent and endless resentment from the Sakura people. The power of these "curses" is entangled in their bodies and even their weapons.

For ordinary people, it is absolutely as heavy as a mountain and it is difficult to move forward.

But Bai Qi made it look like a piece of cake, swinging the weapon in his hand with an extremely sophisticated sword technique!

There are too many sword masters in the Qianxia Dynasty, and some have now been promoted to provide support for the Jade White Wonder "Langhuan Jade Mansion"...

Bai Qi's swordsmanship had already reached the holy realm. His sword movements seemed ordinary, but each strike contained the art of war on the battlefield...

Every sword has a murderous aura that makes people breathless, tearing through the void and drawing rivers of blood in the sky, crisscrossing each other, as if forming a huge "god-killing" net!

"Damn it... they are just some resentful souls, dead people, or really some inferior people... do you still want to shake the foundation of this general?"

"Where is the God's Servants? Hurry..."

Tokugawa Ieyasu made a divine gesture, and around the huge "Tosho God" behind him, the shadows of the gods of the Sakura Country, such as "Inari Fox God, Takemiya Thunder God, etc., suddenly appeared.

After the power of these "gods" was mobilized by "Tokugawa Ieyasu", they have become his "subordinates"!
Now, there are more than a hundred "gods" in various forms coming together to try to encircle and suppress this "killer god" from China!
"In my eyes, the gods are nothing more than a group of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered!"

However, the God of Death from China had a fearless look on his face.

"You have gods, I have demons, who will win..."

Wherever Bai Qi's sword passed, the earth suddenly cracked into an abyss, and the souls of millions of Sakura Country people crawled out of the cracks. They were not evil ghosts, but the most ordinary townspeople, fishermen, and geishas!
They tore off the scorching sun halo of "Tosho-jin" behind Tokugawa Ieyasu, dyeing the golden thread of faith into a mottled black.

The power of these beliefs turned into threads, and at the end of each broken thread, a picture emerged: a pregnant woman was still holding the amulet of Tosho Jingu Shrine when she was dissected by a demon, and a child was crying in the ruins, "Why doesn't the god punish me?"...

These pictures, one after another, are like poisonous ivy wrapped around the body of "Eastern Star God", like maggots on the tarsal bones, causing his blood to boil and his divine power to evaporate!
"Damn it! A mere mortal dares to go against the gods..." An angry roar came from the mouth of "Eastern God".

It is obvious that Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has been continuously relying on the "divine power to fight", has been unable to control his own consciousness and has been "eroded" by the power of faith of all living beings!
Even the phantoms of the "gods" under his command were also eroded by the resentment of all living beings!

The fox tail of the Inari God was eaten by a large number of dead souls from the Sakura Country, turning into a rotten bone whip to whip himself; the body of the Straw God was set on fire by the resentful souls, and the blazing flames turned into ashes; even the Bridge River God in the moat was betrayed, and the bone knife of the drowned was stabbed into his ankle...

Compared to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who at least still has the "power of faith" to continue to bless him.

The "ministers" of these "subordinate gods" had died in previous battles, and their "divine power" had been absorbed by them, so naturally they had no ability to resist!

"You only know how to blindly rely on the power of the gods, but you don't know that the so-called power of the gods, how much you can gain, you also need to give back..."

Bai Qi stopped and just looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu, because the golden light of the "Tosho God" behind him was no longer pure, but mottled, with a lot of black spots...

This means that the foundation of their faith has been shaken, and more "believers" are still skeptical about it.

"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson..."

Tokugawa Ieyasu's pupils widened.

The scorching sun ring shot out thousands of golden arrows, but the divine light that was powerful enough to pierce through mountains was like a drop in the ocean when it touched the mist of resentment.

The black crystal sword slashed in the air, and four hundred thousand skeleton arms suddenly stretched out from the blood river, pulling the "Golden Arrow" into the abyss. They came from the "Four Hundred Thousand Zhao Soldiers", which were even more ferocious than the resentful souls of the Sakura Country!
This time, he tried to pull directly towards the real body of 'Tosho-shinjun' and drag the actual ruler of the Sakura Country into the hell, to let him sink into eternal damnation like himself!

"presumptuous!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu's face finally changed, and the "Purifying Golden Flame" suddenly ignited on his divine body, ready to burn away all the resentment!

"You are the one who is so presumptuous..."

This was the moment Bai Qi was waiting for. The "God of Death" behind him suddenly opened his eyes wide, and actually opened his mouth, swallowing the golden flames in the sky into his stomach.

The purest fire of faith blended with millions of resentments in the body of the God of Death!

Finally, a scarlet bronze spear was forged - on the spear head were the characters "Xing Shen" in Qin seal script!
"You use incense as weapons, and I will use resentment as fire to forge this spear. Today, I will kill the gods..."

Bai Qi swung his spear and thrust forward.

As the spear passed by, the divine armor with black spots on it appeared on the body of Lord Dongzhao, and it melted like wax!

Obviously, with the dissipation of the power of faith, the armor on his body that was originally able to withstand the "Man-Slaying Sword" is now unable to withstand Bai Qi's attack!

"Do not……"

Tokugawa Ieyasu staggered backward, and the huge body of "Tosho God" dripped blood onto the ground. Every drop of divine blood that hit the ground turned into a wailing "three-legged crow".

This is the "loss" of its own power of faith...

As one grew stronger, the other weakened. Bai Qi's momentum had already reached its peak like turbid waves clearing away. The sharp bronze spear's murderous aura pierced through the sky, and it was even more of a "weapon of the killing god"!
"Do not……"

Finally, in full view of the public.

Bai Qi's spear pierced through the heart of "Eastern God"!
Boom!

Suddenly, the foundation of the "divine realm" under his feet began to collapse, and the scorching sun ring behind him shattered into pieces, each piece reflecting the tyranny of the Tokugawa dynasties: the blood wells in Shimabara, the starving people under the isolation order, and the bones of the people who were forced to build Edo Castle...

He indifferently stirred the handle of the spear and picked out the heart of the "statue".

It was originally a dazzling golden heart, but the moment it left the divine body, it was stained black by a large amount of resentment.

hum!
The "divine heart" leaped, and in the black light it emitted, there emerged various actions that Tokugawa Ieyasu took to consolidate the "divine throne"!

In order to "unify the world", he did not hesitate to reach an agreement with the Hundred Demons and let them rampage and kill a large number of people from the Sakura Country.

In order to deal with the "Five Great Ninja Villages" and those "human lords" who were too powerful to be eliminated, he did not hesitate to launch the "Eastern Expedition" to attack the Qianxia Dynasty, so that these people would be annihilated, and he would take those powerful "tailed beasts" into his pocket...

More importantly, this time, they deliberately planned to use Hattori Hanzo to create the scene of "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons".

He tried to use desperate scenes to force the many Sakura people to regard his "Tosho God" as the only light in the desperate situation and contribute the purest power of faith...

"It turns out that the so-called 'God's Heart' has long been corrupted."

Bai Qi crushed the "Divine Heart" in his hand, turning it into countless golden and black dust that floated across the entire Sakura Country.

Wherever the dust fell, shrines with plaques inscribed with "Tosho God" collapsed and statues of the gods shattered...

The people who were originally offering sacrifices piously and praying for the protection of the gods looked up in confusion!

However, in his pupils, he vaguely saw Bai Qi's black-armored figure in front of the ruined shrine of the "Shogunate Royal City".

They unconsciously fell to the ground, not out of awe, but because they were bent by the "shackles of sin" displayed on this "god of death". Each of these "shackles" was the evidence of the sins of the "shogunate dynasty" and Tokugawa Ieyasu himself...

"It turns out we were wrong. The instigator of this war was actually the general... No, it was that bastard Tokugawa Ieyasu..."

"My wife, children, and mother died because of this man's evil ambitions. He deserves death..."

Even the most stubborn person.

At this time, they also began to loudly curse the "false god" who deceived the world and stole his reputation.

"If the gods are unfair, then we will kill them to stop the worship!"

When the smoke cleared, Bai Qi stood alone on the ruins of the "Tosho-jingu Shrine", with his feet on the withered head of "Tokugawa Ieyasu", who had not died even though his golden body was cut off because of the protection of the "shrine".

The "Million Man Slayer Sword" in his hand exudes endless murderous light, and the resentment of the people of Sakura Country that was entangled on it has disappeared!

"If there is no justice in heaven, then punishment will replace heaven!"

Then, he looked up at the sky again, his eyes showing some disdain...

After all, someone like Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to condense a "godhood" by using dirty means.

Then, the so-called "deification" has no real "morality"!
