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

Chapter 214 The Night Sword God

After another half a cup of tea, with the combined efforts of Asai Nagamasa and Axiu, they finally succeeded in killing Yatogami. Although it seemed that it was always at a serious disadvantage, in fact it could not withstand beatings at all. It was beyond their imagination.

Even if the huge crown made of spiritual stones on its head was cut off, the energy in its body is still endless and can continuously and quickly repair its injuries.

At the same time, it seems to be a female snake. There are countless little snakes hidden in its body. On the one hand, they can serve as its assistance in fighting, and on the other hand, they can also be directly transformed into special life energy by it in times of crisis, repairing it. looking at its injuries.

And although it will splatter a lot of smelly blood after being injured, its body is actually half virtual and half real, and does not have any obvious physical weaknesses, so this battle will be exhausting for a long time. war.

But after Azai Nagamasa brazenly used the magic from Huanglong, summoned a large number of stone spears, and disembowelled it in one fell swoop, the almost mountain-like pile of spiritual stones in its abdomen was also exposed to everyone. .

Asai Nagamasa finally understood where it came from with such strong energy. Isn't it possible that most of the spiritual stones Saito Dōsan collected and accumulated over the decades were stored in the belly of Yatogami?
Such a huge amount of spiritual stones is almost equivalent to a steady stream of mana and life force for the Night Sword God who is half real and half virtual. It is no wonder that it can be so tenacious.

Having grasped this extremely obvious weakness, Yatogami's death naturally became unavoidable. However, if it could sustain itself for such a long time, if it had wisdom, it would be proud enough.

After the death of Yatogami, the fragments of its soul and consciousness immediately wanted to escape. It was not the weaklings he had encountered before. Even if it was dead, its soul still retained a considerable degree of power.

However, Asai Nagamasa, who had been prepared for a long time, directly slashed his soul with the thunder knife. Only a flash of purple light was seen. Although the Yato God struggled desperately, in the end, some fragments of its consciousness were still destroyed by the thunder knife. absorbed.

At the same time, in that mysterious, almost infinite space, the Thunder Blade Spirit has another powerful opponent. It is not known how many failures it will have to experience this time before it can completely defeat the opponent.

But fortunately, as long as the Thunder Sword is not destroyed and Asai Nagamasa provides it with mana, the Spirit of the Thunder Sword can be reborn in it unlimited times, and it does not have to be afraid of failure at all.

Most of the remaining consciousness of Yatogami seemed to be greatly frightened. It turned into a cloud of smoke with a strong smell, plunged into its soul core that was almost the size of a football, and then tried to take it with him. The soul core flies away from this place.

But Asai Nagamasa, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately cast a spell and forcibly sealed it.

At the same time, he was also extremely curious. Even if snakes have always been known for their tenacity, is Yatogami too tenacious?
Before, it could be explained that the other party contained too many spirit stones, providing it with almost endless power. But after losing the spirit stones and body, what did it rely on?

After thinking for a moment, Asai Nagamasa could only roughly judge that while the other party was enjoying the incense in the White Snake Shrine, he seemed to have acquired some very special powers.

Unfortunately, with its low intelligence, it seems that it cannot fully utilize that power. They can only passively strengthen its physical strength and vitality, which is far from comparable to Huanglong's use of the power of faith.

Qiao Ji, who only obtained some of the methods of using her faith, has strengthened very quickly with the help of spiritual stones in more than a month, and is even stronger than when he first saw her. I don't know. Now that Huanglong has taken over the entire Izumo Shrine faith, how powerful will it become now?

With the complete death of the Yatogami, its half-solid and half-empty flesh and blood began to decay rapidly, and then disappeared with the wind as if it was weathered. Soon, only a body of scales and armor were left in place. A large amount of venom that glows faintly.

Asai Nagamasa immediately put it away. Yatogami has been worshiped as a god here for unknown years and has swallowed so many spiritual stones. Whether it is its poison or its hardness, Scales that are better than steel will be extremely useful after processing, and of course cannot be wasted.

After dealing with all this and putting away the broken spiritual stone crown of Yatogami, Asai Nagamasa finally took a breath.

Looking at Axiu, who was surrounded by only his armor that had become much tattered, but with almost no blood on his body, he once again marveled at the other person's growth speed.

This Ji warrior, whose name and origins he had never heard of in the parallel world, has continuously shown extraordinary potential and power, perhaps better than anyone he has ever seen.

Even if you don't have the ability to continuously become stronger through killing, even if you have the Onmyoji inheritance from Abe Seimei, you will be far behind sooner or later, right?
Possessing an extremely rare half-demon bloodline with extremely outstanding potential and the ability to transform into a half-demon;
I once lived alone in the forest, leading a very mysterious and isolated life;
He successively met powerful partners like Wu Ming, Kato Danzo, and himself, and there was also a guy like Tokichiro who knew how to play tricks;
Her father died before her eyes and gave her a powerful gift.
I didn’t realize it before, but now that I think about it, with so many special features, if she hadn’t appeared, Axiu might have been the child of destiny conceived by Ni Peng, right?

But now Axiu looked at Dao San's body blankly, unable to speak and lacking expression, but that didn't mean that she really had no emotions, she just lacked the way to express it.

And after White Viper possessed her, she may have gotten more information than everyone present combined.

Asai Nagamasa sighed and left her alone for the time being, because no matter what she said, she could not bring her father back.

At the same time, he also noticed that there was an uninvited guest here. Kato Danzo, who was supposed to monitor the Yilong Army, actually appeared here.

Seeing Asai Nagamasa looking over, Kato Danzo quickly reported this series of important information to him.

After hearing this, Nagamasa Asai couldn't help frowning slightly. Although he had already guessed before, the reactions of both Yoshimoto Imakawa and Yoshiryu Saito were too quick.

Especially Yilong, how did he learn about the changes that happened here so quickly?
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration: "Duanzo, I wonder if those mysterious ninjas who are loyal to Yilong have the smell of beasts or even the stench of rats on their bodies?"

Duanzang Kato was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly realized: "Your Highness, are you saying that the other party is likely to be those rat monster ninjas?"

As one of the top ninjas in Nippon, he would of course communicate with other ninjas, so he was no stranger to those rat demon ninjas.

Moreover, the Iga ninjas have also officially declared war on each other recently, and called on all the ninjas in Nippong to attack them together, and have already received responses from several ninja villages.

Even their old rivals, the Koga ninjas, rarely stood in the same direction as them, claiming that the fight between ninjas was an internal matter within human beings, and these man-eating monsters must never be allowed to have a hand in it again.

Asai Nagamasa nodded slightly: "The first time the Skaven appeared in Qingzhou City, they wanted to kidnap Nobunaga's sister Aichi. At that time, most people thought it would be Imagawa Yoshimoto, but now it seems , Yilong’s suspicion is also very high.”

"Since he himself dares to use spiritual stones and spells to create monsters, why would he worry about cooperating with monsters from other races?"

Kato Danzo nodded when he heard this: "Yes, Your Highness, I know, I will go to investigate right now."

He felt a little dereliction of duty. He clearly knew about the existence of these Skavens, but he didn't immediately think of it.

But Asai Nagamasa waved his hand to stop the other party: "No, don't be impatient for the time being. Your most important task next, Danzo, is to explore the locations of the corpses and seriously injured people of the Yilong Army warriors, and then destroy them all on the spot, or Just grab it, so that even if Yilong creates monsters again, their strength will be much weaker."

Kato Danzo immediately understood the meaning. It seemed that His Highness and himself had the same guess. Yilong probably used the bodies of samurai to create monsters!

"Yes, Your Highness, let's go right here!"

"Yeah, but be careful. Even if you don't count those rat men, Yilong himself has some special powers."

Kato Danzo said no more, just nodded vigorously, then turned around and left quickly. After a few breaths, he could no longer be heard.

Akechi Mitsuhide, who was watching and listening to all this, couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

It is clear that the other party is just a ninja, but His Highness can communicate with him so peacefully. Is this the power of the "Dragon of Omi"?
Just as he was about to say something, he heard a scream from a distance: "Ah, my lord!"

Everyone turned their heads and found Saito Rizo, holding an Odachi sword and his face covered in blood, emerging from a passage. Behind him were several samurai dressed in the same style, all of whose clothes were stained with blood. It looked like he had just been killed. It was a hard fight.

After seeing clearly the completely changed and unrecognizable environment in the valley, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon he was lying at the feet of Saito Riji with tears on his face, and Saito Douzan who looked like he was no longer breathing. The corpse was attracted.

He couldn't help shouting loudly, while crossing various collapsed stone pillars and obviously poisonous lakes, running towards the direction of Dao San. He seemed to be very loyal to Dao San.

Akechi Mitsuhide was immediately overjoyed: "Rizo, you are still alive!"

Apart from his master, Douzan, and relatives of the Akechi family, Saito Rizo is undoubtedly the person with whom he has the best relationship in the entire Mino, because he is not only his cousin, but he also studies with him. Junior brother of Onmyoji.

He originally thought that the other party died at the hands of monsters, but he didn't expect that he was hiding in a cave further back.

When the two senior brothers met, they were naturally filled with emotion apart from their grief. When they communicated with each other, others also understood why he only appeared now.

It turns out that Saito Rizo was sent by Dao San to guard the treasure house to prevent the supplies from being seized by the enemy.

After desperately killing some invading enemies, they felt the ground shaking for a while, and finally couldn't help coming, and then found that their loyal lord Dao San had turned into a cold corpse. corpse.

Hearing this, Asai Nagamasa suddenly remembered that Dao San promised that as long as he carried out rescue, he would be rewarded, but now that Dao San is dead, who can he ask for money from?

Although Dao San said that he would give half of Meinong to him, it was just a verbal check. He still had to snatch it from Yilong with real swords and guns!
But fortunately, he was not the only one who thought about this problem. Although he was full of grief, Dao San's last son Saito Rikiji still explained the whole situation to Rizo, and asked Rizo to open the treasure house and give him the reward that his father had promised before. .

But even though he was the young master, after experiencing Yilong's betrayal, Saito Rizo was not so easy to believe in him, and he was still a little embarrassed.

He subconsciously looked at his senior brother Akechi Mitsuhide, who was superior to him in both personal ability and spell talent, and had always been his most trusted samurai.

"Lord Mitsuhide"

Akechi Mitsuhide noticed this familiar look, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Rizo, I have joined the Asai family."

"From now on, I will be loyal to Your Highness, obey the wishes of Lord Dao San, and protect Your Highness the Princess."

While speaking, Akechi Mitsuhide did not forget to bow his hand to Asai Nagamasa.

Saito Rizo's eyes widened for a moment, feeling very incredible, but at the same time he also knew that the other party was not a person who liked to joke or lie. Since he said so, it must be the truth.

Glancing at Asai Nagamasa who had gone to treat the wounds of many warriors, he couldn't help but swallowed: "Princess, do you mean Nohime?"

Although Michizan has many children, it is known that his favorite is undoubtedly Nohime, who has married into the Owari Oda family. He has lamented in public more than once that it is a pity that Nohime is not a man, otherwise Mino would have a real successor. .

Probably these words were one of the important reasons that caused Yilong's dissatisfaction and even rebellion.

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head: "No, it's Nohime's sister, Princess Axiu."

Saito Rizo suddenly became more and more surprised, because he was not completely unfamiliar with this name. They had interacted with each other once, but it was not that good, but at least he knew that the other party seemed to be mute.

He confirmed a little stupidly: "Master Dao San has an extra daughter? Or a sister who looks very young but is actually older?"

Akechi Mitsuhide nodded again. Although he couldn't understand it, since Master Daosan said so himself, he must be extremely sure.

Moreover, looking at the previous battle between Princess Axiu and Yatogami, we knew that she must also have extremely special powers, and it is not incomprehensible that she looks younger.

Next to him, Saito Reiji also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Axiu is also my sister." Although his sister has never looked at him or said a word until now, she even seems to be in a daze from time to time, acting somewhat aloof. Not quite normal, but at least many times stronger than the Yilong who tried to kill his father!
Saito Rizo is still a little confused, but the young master Toshiharu and Mitsuhide-sama are not ready to join forces to deceive him. He feels that he is not that important yet.

So he could only sigh: "If this is the case, I should obey it."

Now that Master Daosan has passed away, the inheritance in the treasure house will naturally belong to his children. The rebellious Yilong is absolutely not qualified to get it, so it will naturally be handed over to the son and daughter here.

Akechi Mitsuhide pondered for a moment, but decided to invite the other party resolutely: "Rizo, why don't you join my family with me and serve His Highness?"

Saito Toshiji also chimed in and said: "That's right, Mr. Risan, not only Mitsuhide-sama has joined the main family, but I have also joined the main family, so you can come too!"

Although his loyalty to the Asai family was still short, he seemed to accept this change of identity very quickly.

And he is also very keen on doing this. If a large number of warriors who were once loyal to their father join the family, then his status as the former young master in the family will become somewhat extraordinary in the future, right?
Saito Rizo lowered his head and thought for a moment. In fact, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart because their first meeting was not a harmonious one.

But after careful consideration, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "If this is the wish of Lord Mitsuhide and His Highness Riji, then I must comply with it, and I am willing to work with Lord Mitsuhide to protect Princess Axiu!"

He believed in the wisdom of Master Mitsuhide and Master Daosan, and if something like this happened, he actually had nowhere to go.

What's more, once he joins the Asai family, His Highness, known as the "Dragon of Omi", will be able to give some guidance on the onmyoji that has troubled him for a long time, right?
Asai Nagamasa naturally welcomed him with a smile, and awarded Saito Toshizo the title of Infantry General and a salary of three hundred koku on the spot.

Although the opponent is not particularly proficient in magic or force in my opinion, he is undoubtedly much better than ordinary warriors.

Moreover, he is also the apprentice of "Mino Viper" and the junior brother, friend and cousin of Akechi Mitsuhide. Even if it is just to win over Akechi Mitsuhide and the Akechi family, this mere three hundred stones is still very worthwhile.

At this time, a group of warriors who were originally loyal to Dao San also stood up. After setting up a magic circle to help A Xiu, the remaining energy Asai Nagamasa did not waste it and used it on them.

Although both blood mist and snake venom are extremely fatal to ordinary people, due to the successive rescues of Ning Ning and Asai Nagamasa, plus their own strength, except for a few seriously injured, most of them were left. They all survived, and there are still about forty warriors left.

Asai Nagamasa scanned around and found that they were far superior to ordinary samurai in terms of height and body shape. They were obviously carefully selected by the three elites.

Although many of them are still wearing masks, it can be seen from those who show their faces that most of them are young, and they were probably trained by Dao San since childhood.

According to his information, the stone height of Meinong is more than 50. I dare not say if it is more, but it can still be obtained by at least 40 to [-] people. These dozens of people are almost equivalent to the elites selected from a million.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Wu Ming next to her actually wanted to speak, but she restrained herself in the end, because even though these people used the equipment and power of Chu Ye Yanzhong, they were not really Chu Ye Yanzhong, and the one who saved them now It is His Highness Asai, and he is not qualified to ask them to follow him.

Many warriors couldn't help but fell silent for a while. Although some of them had begun to think about this question after Lord Dao San was unfortunately killed, they did not get a good answer.

After looking at each other back and forth for a few times, an older-looking samurai finally spoke: "Although Master Daosan unfortunately died in battle, we will inherit his legacy and continue to conquer monsters, and not only Near Lushan Castle, we hope that the world will no longer be invaded by monsters."

The other warriors also nodded. Judging from what they meant, it was obvious that Dao San had not really used their power before. They seemed to just stay here most of the time.

Asai Nagamasa smiled slightly: "Very good, this is also my wish, then work for me, I will teach you more powerful onmyoji, so that you can better defeat monsters."

Although Daosan has a very good vision in selecting talents, he is obviously very bad at teaching apprentices. Whether it is the warriors in front of him, or Akechi Mitsuhide and others, the spells that can be used are very weak, and most of them are not even comparable to the spells that just came into contact with. The little witch Kaga who is more than a month old.

But if you teach it yourself, the effect will definitely be much stronger.

Although Abe Seimei had no disciples, as the most powerful onmyoji in the history of Nippon, any knowledge he left behind would be enough for these warriors to use.

And as his body continues to be transformed by the blood of the Yellow Dragon, he has been able to use more and more of the opponent's power.

It has to be said that Shenlong is indeed a creature favored by God. Even if he does not take the initiative to practice, with every breath, an extremely small amount of spiritual energy enters the body, and he can gradually become stronger through the accumulation of time.

It would be great if this unique way of breathing could be possessed by humans.

Maybe, I can simplify it and give it to these warriors to try.
The samurai who had just answered immediately paid homage directly: "Yes, I am bowing Iecheng, and I am willing to serve His Highness Asai Nagamasa!"

His movement speed was so fast that even Asai Nagamasa himself had some doubts. Could the other party be a trap?
But after hearing the other person's surname, he felt that he could understand it a little bit, because this surname was originally supposed to come from Omi. During the period of Emperor Uta hundreds of years ago, his ancestors had a relatively famous onmyoji - Yuzhi. It's a male.

Although the onmyoji's power and reputation are far from comparable to Abe Seimei's, if there are relevant inheritances left in his family, he may be able to understand the weight of the spells he promised better than ordinary people.

Yuzuki Iechumi seemed to have a certain reputation among the many samurai. After seeing his actions, many other samurai finally did not hesitate and paid homage one after another.

"Very good. Since you all trust me so much, I won't be stingy. I will first provide three thousand stones of land in Omi to support your needs. If the team continues to expand in the future, I will also provide more many."

"But now there is a problem, that is, you need a formal name."

"Do you think the 'ghost-seeking team' is better, or the 'ghost-killing team'?"

Regardless of whether the other party is forced by the situation or takes a fancy to his own potential, since they decide to join his team, Asai Nagamasa will let them have their own brand.

The name is just the first step.

Many samurai discussed in low voices with each other, and soon, it was Yumizari Kasumi from before who finally spoke first: "Your Highness, most of us have blood feuds with monsters, so why not call them the 'Ghost Killing Team'."

"Haha, very good. The ghost-killing team of my Asai family will be officially established from today on. I hope that with your efforts, one day we will wipe out all the monsters and ghosts and return people to a peaceful world!"

"Yes, I am willing to die for His Highness!"

"I would like to die for His Highness!"

Seeing the people who had a new organization name and whose morale had been boosted in just a few words, Wu Ming couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.

Sure enough, the words "Chu Yeya" were not in their minds from the beginning, so they readily agreed to His Highness Asai's invitation. Perhaps Master Dao San had never even told them this name?
After smiling and nodding, Asai Nagamasa turned to look at Wu Ming, who was obviously in a bad mood: "Wu Ming, how about joining us and working together to defeat the monsters?"

He is almost certain now. Although Wu Ming has the title of leader, in fact, there are probably not many people in Chuye Yazhong. That's why she attaches so much importance to the dozens of warriors in front of her, so she continues to do so. Neither the ninjas he sent nor the Iga people could fully understand their movements.

Wu Ming chose to refuse at the first moment: "I'm sorry, Your Highness Asai, we Chuye Yazhong have always made it our lifelong mission to conquer demons. We will not participate in the internal fighting between humans, nor will we be loyal to any big name."

This was not beyond Asai Nagamasa's expectation. He just smiled and shook his head: "Haha, Wu Ming, of course this is not loyalty, it is just a kind of cooperation proposed by friends."

"Chu Ye Yazhong may have been passed down for a long time, but I don't know where your newcomers come from? They should all be orphans in the war." "Not to mention the uncertain number, their talents may not be too high."

Ignorance is silent, as it is.

In addition to being too thin due to hunger, most of the orphans recruited during the war also had some hidden diseases.

Moreover, it will take many years to train them into real Chuye Yazhong. It can be said that they will only be a burden to Chuye Yazhong for quite some time.

In the past, the number of human towns was not as numerous and dense as it is now, so Chuye Yazhong was able to occupy large areas of fertile land in the wild for organizational development.

However, in the past few hundred years, the population of Nippon has been increasing, and it has even begun to expand its territory and seize land belonging to the Ezo people. Large areas of forest and wilderness have been reclaimed. In order not to be discovered by the outside world, Chu Ye Yanzhong's territory began to be compressed rapidly.

The most direct result is that the number of Chuye Yezhong is getting smaller and smaller. It is even said that Wuming, the previous generation, had to go out and do business to maintain the existence of Chuye Yezhong.

Now that I think about it, that businessman is probably the Three Great Masters, right?
It's just that I don't know what happened later. Master Daosan finally became the "Mino Viper" who ruled the Meinong area, and Chuye Yazhong also became weaker and weaker, otherwise he would not have been killed by that man. The great demon attacks the village.

Even when he succeeds as Wuming, there are not many people in the entire Chuye Yamen.

Originally, it was possible for me to get the original truth from the three major Dao people, but now with the death of the other party, this may become an eternal mystery.

On the other side, Asai Nagamasa continued: "But if you cooperate with the Asai family, you Chuye Yazhong can widely recruit qualified people from North and South Omi. I can guarantee that you will never ask you to help me kill people. It’s enough to just continue fighting monsters.”

"I can even send ninjas to investigate information about the appearance of many monsters for you, so that you can better fight against them and give you more time to practice martial arts and spells."

"Besides, Axiu will surely agree with me, right?"

He turned to look at Axiu next to him. He didn't know how many memories related to her Dao San had left in Bai Wei, but at least now she looked a little softer and looked more like A real human being, not the cold half-demon.

I don't know if his words touched Wu Ming's heart, but it was obvious that she was a little tempted.

Wu Ming turned to look at Axiu and found that Axiu was also looking at her. His quiet and clear eyes seemed to be able to see directly into her heart.

She subconsciously turned her face to the side, as if she wanted to avoid the sight, but then she realized her gaffe and nodded unnaturally.

"Okay, since His Highness Asai invites you so kindly, I will not be disrespectful of the compliment. Chuye Yazhong is willing to form an alliance with the Ghost Killing Team, and I am also willing to help train."

Is it the Ghost Slayer Team, not the Asai Family?

But in fact, there is not much difference between the two.
Although he has already seen through the other party's tricks, Asai Nagamasa is certainly not stupid enough to expose the truth, and from the ignorant reaction just now, he seems to have discovered something extremely interesting.

"Haha, okay, in that case, Wu Ming, let me join hands to defeat the demon."

"But in front of us, we still have a common enemy, and that is Saito Yoshiryu who transforms humans into monsters without authorization!"
