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

Chapter 44 Waiting
"Is it Tokichiro? I am Asai Nagamasa. We can talk about the gold and gemstones later. Now it's time to solve the current problem."

Fujiyoshiro suddenly felt happy, knowing that he had developed a relationship with this mysterious and powerful warrior.

As a traveling businessman active in Owari and Mino, he certainly knew about the Asai family. After all, the Kita-Omi area was not far from the Mino area of ​​the Saito family. The other party could have such a surname and such sophisticated equipment. At least he is a member of the Asai family.

But soon his eyes froze, because he noticed that the golden gem that had just belonged to him was fading rapidly, and at the same time, a faint red light also rose from behind the other person.

Looking at Asai Nagamasa who seemed to have been deliberately guarding against a certain direction, he suddenly had some vague thoughts in his mind, but when he took another look at the Ji warrior whose movements had slowed down a lot, he felt a little uneasy. and guilt.

"Master Asai, should we wait any longer? She seems to be doing better now than before. Is it possible for us to save her?"

Asai Nagamasa immediately knew that the other party had misunderstood. Tokichiro probably thought he was going to attack the mysterious Hime warrior.

But he didn't go out of his way to explain it, because with his later actions, the other party would soon understand his true intentions.

However, this guy actually dared to take the initiative to dissuade him in this situation. He was quite courageous. Did he take a fancy to the beauty of the other party, or the strength of the other party?
"It's a bit possible, but you'll probably have to pay a certain price."

As soon as he heard that it was related to him, Tokichiro immediately showed obvious hesitation. Although he wanted to make friends with that guy and use his power, if he had to pay the price, it would be more than worth the gain.

However, after several hesitations, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Please give me your orders, Sir Samurai."

Seeing the other party's performance, Asai Nagamasa almost understood the other party's thoughts at this time, but it was not beyond his expectation.

Although he was timid, afraid of death, and even deliberately dug a hole for the Ji warrior before, at certain critical moments, this guy was still able to make some decisions, or was willing to take risks.

Even if he is just a small traveling businessman now, as long as he can survive, he will become famous in the future, and Asai Nagamasa will not be surprised at all.

At this time, Warrior Ji's movements on the other side had slowed down further. She was no longer slashing around as crazily as before, and even her weapon fell to the ground unconsciously.

However, the red-green mist filling the air around her is gradually increasing. Even though Samurai Ji just cut it with a knife, red-green mucus is constantly flowing out of the big cherry tree, and it quickly turns into mist. .

Under some strange effect, the demonic armor on Ji Ji's body began to fade away quickly, and the ghost horns on her head were like candles in the wind, gradually dissipating into the invisible. Even her green eyes began to look towards the original blue ones. The color changed, and the silver hair on his head quickly turned into black.

All this seemed to indicate that she had gradually calmed down, and that she had gradually gotten rid of the influence of the escaping demonic power from the horse-headed ghost.

But Asai Nagamasa knew that this did not mean that the matter was resolved perfectly, on the contrary, there was not much time left for him and her.

Because Ji Ji's body seemed to be a little out of control. Although her big eyes were open, there was no energy in them. She was gradually approaching the cherry blossom tree that attracted the most attention.

Just when Samurai Hime was slashing around like crazy, he noticed that the cherry blossom tree looked strange after being injured. The red-green sap flowing from its wound looked very much like a mixture of blood and sap.And except for the initial sword blow, Ji Ji continued to wreak havoc there for a long time, and she chopped down more than a dozen cherry blossom trees around her. But coincidentally, this largest and most conspicuous cherry blossom tree, But since then, he hasn't been injured any more. It seems that Warrior Ji, who is mad, is avoiding it on purpose.

Clearly, there is something weird about this cherry blossom tree.

However, it's almost time.

"In that case, Tokichiro, prepare enough spirit stones for me."

Asai Nagamasa crushed the spiritual stone in his hand that had been completely drained of spiritual energy and had been scrapped, and then swung the paper fan he had hidden behind him forward: "Fire Bullet Technique, Ji!"

As Asai Nagamasa shouted, the crimson energy instantly condensed into a blazing fireball, flew out from his folding fan, and then quickly expanded several times in the air like air, and soon turned into It was the size of a washbasin, and then it crashed directly into the most lush cherry tree.

At the same time, Asai Nagamasa also frowned a little and found that the handle of the folding fan in his hand came out and cracked a small crack. This lowest level magic weapon could not bear this level of excessive spellcasting.

With a loud bang, large flames splashed out like fireworks, affecting a space of nearly a hundred square meters. Not only did it completely cover the roots of the cherry blossom tree, but also several surrounding cherry blossom trees were implicated in the fiery red color. The flames began to mercilessly devour the once gorgeous cherry blossom trees.

Although it is only the most basic fire spell, its attack power is not very strong. Maybe even the lowest level ghoul cannot guarantee instant kill, but this is not ordinary fire after all, and it is still very unique in igniting fire. Coupled with the fact that he had accumulated energy for so long and temporarily absorbed the energy from the spirit stone, the power of this spell was greatly enhanced.

After all, the bird guardian spirit attached to him has fire-based abilities. The reason why it behaved very badly before was just because of insufficient energy. Now that there is a supply of spiritual stones, it can still do it with an occasional burst.

There was no need for any other flammable materials at all. The fire became fierce all of a sudden. Almost just two or three breaths later, the smoke even began to obscure everyone's sight.

Tokichiro next to him didn't know what to say for a moment. He hoped to use the power of the blue-eyed woman, so he spent a lot of effort and took the risk to lead her here.

But he didn't expect that before he had time to do anything, or even reveal his identity to the other party, the current situation would happen.

Although he wanted to stop him, he was afraid of offending this mysterious samurai. After all, compared to the woman suspected of being a monster, the powerful samurai from the Asai family in front of him was a more worthy object to please. It was impossible to say that his desire to stand out was It's going to fall on the opponent.

After the last few hesitations, he just sighed with regret. What a pity.
But when he turned his head and wanted to have sex with the samurai, he was shocked to find that the other party was no longer where he was!
"Hiss, it hurts!"

As the hoarse old female voice sounded, the huge cherry blossom tree seemed to come alive. It began to dance its branches and leaves desperately, and red and green mist escaped.

Although the mist looked very thin, its fire-extinguishing effect was unexpectedly good. As the mist spread rapidly, the flames caused by Asai Nagamasa's spell began to gradually disappear and were replaced by large tracts. of mist.

But Asai Nagamasa's goal has been achieved. With the sound of rapid footsteps, he has run out of the mist. In addition to carrying a giant two-meter-long scythe in his hand, he is also holding a giant scythe in his arms. A heavily armed woman was none other than the Ji warrior just now!
