Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 56: Perhaps what is needed to protect Ashina is intelligence?
There is an item that can be picked up at the city gate, which is a ninja tool made by Wolf Ninja - Shuriken Cart. Although it is only the size of a palm, it can hold an astonishing number of shurikens. It is an extremely advanced mechanical ninja tool!

Liu Mang climbed over the gap in the door and picked up this prop next to the corpse of a Jiying member.

The so-called Eagle Clan is a ninja force unique to Ashina Province. It is divided into two branches, one is the White Eagle Clan under Ashina Isshin, and the other is the Black Eagle Clan led by Owl Training.

They wear Tengu masks and eagle feather cloaks, can engage in close combat, throw darts, spit fire, and self-destruct. They are a relatively difficult enemy to deal with and are not at the same level as the various soldiers!
At the same time, the person who was hiding aside and attacking while Wolf and Genichirō were fighting was a ninja from the Yoshitaka clan!
The Eagle Guardian that fell from his hand during the inspection was a white Eagle Guardian under Isshin. Being able to obtain such advanced ninja tools, he was obviously an elite among the Eagle Guardians.

But such an elite actually died here without knowing it. There is only one person, or a unit, who has such ability and motive, and that is the ninja unit belonging to the inner court - the Lone Shadow Clan!

This is an elite ninja unit composed of members who wear purple clothes and hold ninja swords. They are divided into three levels. The lowest level is purple clothes, the next level is white hats, and the highest level is black hats.

Black Hat is a small leader of the Lone Shadow Clan. There are only 17 of them in total, and they are all disciples of the Lone Shadow Clan leader Oribe Masanaga.

As elites, all members of the Lone Shadow Clan are blessed by the world and have two lives. They are also highly skilled and have amazing abilities. The Jiying Clan are no match for them at all.

According to Liu Mang's guess, the first time he met Genichirō, he might not be a match for any of the Lone Shadows.

Therefore, Liu Mang can actually understand Genichirō's crazy pursuit of immortality. Such a powerful group of Lone Shadows is actually just a team under the Imperial Household that is not the strongest. What can Ashina Country use to stop the Imperial Household's invasion?

But even though he understands it, Liu Mang will never give Long Yin to Genichirō. If this loser is forced to get Long Yin, I'm afraid that within two days, all the people in Ashina will die of dragon cough!

And he is an enemy, what does the ending of Ashina have to do with him? Ashina is also destined to be unable to stop the tide of the times.

As for saving Ashina? Who will save the Hirata family? What can we use to wash away the blood debt of thousands of people in Hirata Village!
Although Jiulang is not his biological son, the care and love that everyone in Pingtian Village shows him is genuine. Liu Mang, who has obtained all of Jiulang's memories, feels the same way. Blood debts must be repaid with blood.

Since Ashina, whom Hirata protected with his life, betrayed him, he will destroy Ashina to bury her!

Continuing forward, we passed through the city gate and arrived at a pass, where the guard was named Naomori Kawaharada.

Samurai General Naomori Kawarada:
Rating: 70
Life: 2000/2000
Attack: 350-360
Defense: 355
It has very high attributes and is wearing a full set of armor, so there aren't many places to get it.

But Liu Mang is not afraid of him at all. When their attributes are similar, Liu Mang, who has completely crushed his martial arts, can defeat him in just a few moves. However, if he wants to break his defense, he may need to use explosive means.

Areas not protected by armor are of course more vulnerable, but the majority of defense for people in this world comes from their bodies, so armor plays a relatively low role.

They don't have an inventory that takes effect as soon as it's put in. Even if they are wearing full body armor, the defense cannot be stacked. The defense of the chest armor can only be effective on the chest, and the defense of the leg armor can only protect the legs.

With his 355 defense, I'm afraid 290 points of it is his physical defense!

Unlike in the game, in reality, Naomori Kawaharada brought more than 20 soldiers. It was undoubtedly a pipe dream to want to fight him in a one-on-one duel.

Don't worry about the soldiers who can't break his defense. As a samurai general, Naomori Kawaharada's martial arts are undoubtedly extraordinary. In this world of pure power explosion, it's not surprising that he has two or three times the explosive skills. You need to be careful and it's best not to be attacked by him.

Liu Mang turned his eyes and wanted to go around the side of the hillside and stab him from behind. Don’t worry about anything else, just try to save your life first!

But his plan was ultimately foiled by the soldiers below. A musketeer was lucky enough to see him, and instantly shouted "enemy attack", and immediately took out his musket and shot Liu Mang.

when!
With a swing of the knife, the rebound was triggered, deflecting the incoming bullets. Liu Mang looked up to the sky and sighed. It turned out that there was a huge gap between a one-on-one fight and a group fight!
Swish!
Liu Mang dodged a fierce knife by leaning sideways, and then he and Kawaharada Naomori exchanged glances. Facing the samurai general who was more than twice his height, Liu Mang looked down on him!

Kawaharada Naomori's murderous intent grew. He recognized Liu Mang, but he did not hold back at all. The young master of the Hirata family, who was just destroyed, dared to look down on the samurai general who commanded 500 soldiers. He was looking for death!

The huge Nodachi seemed to be light as a feather, and the exquisite and swift sword techniques poured out from his hands, forcing Liu Mang to dodge. Suddenly, Liu Mang's body paused, and the katana in his hand blocked the Nodachi. Kawaharada Naomori immediately realized that he was trying to use "bounce", so he put away the sword and changed his moves!

However, the smooth execution of more than ten consecutive slashes made him careless for a moment and formed inertia, which made it difficult for him to restrain his strength. In the end, he only restrained his strength slightly.

when--!
Perfect rebound! The sword in Naomori Kawaharada's hand suddenly bounced up as if it had hit a spring. Not only did he lean back for a moment, but the force of the rebound was also transmitted to his body through the sword, causing him to be slightly paralyzed.

The backlash of the sword's force could not make him lose balance, but the wide open space at this moment was enough for Liu Mang. He took the initiative to slash at Kawaharada Naomori's throat, forcing him to raise his sword to block.

However, Liu Mang changed his move from a horizontal sweep to a diagonal chop, and the blade swept across his hand holding the knife, and the four fingers flew out in a spin. Kawaharada Naomori screamed in pain and stepped back, and the knife fell to the ground with a clang, and he instantly lost the ability to fight back!
Seeing their leader injured, the surrounding soldiers attacked Liu Mang frantically. The four musketeers opened fire again, but all their shots were deflected by Liu Mang. However, when he was deflecting the last shot, the katana that had helped him kill more than 200 enemies could no longer withstand the fierce battle and broke.

This knife was an ordinary one he picked up in Guanyuewang Tower. It was able to support him in killing more than 200 people, which was a testament to his great martial arts skills and good protection. But after bouncing off more than a dozen times, the knife could no longer hold up.

The knife in the equipment bar cannot be used. Although it is a dropped item with attributes, its quality is not better than the broken knife just now. It also cannot withstand many bounces, and once it is broken, the attribute bonus will be gone. It is better to pick up another one at random!
The wild sword that Naomori Kawaharada dropped was obviously more sophisticated, but it was too big and too long. Although it was not unusable, there were still options now, and it was not difficult to find a suitable one.

He dodged into the crowd, picked up a business card and broke the knife's neck with his fist, then reached down with his right hand and got a new knife.

Use your body skills to dodge attacks and prioritize taking out the four musketeers. Although ranged enemies may harm friendly forces in the melee, they are obviously a greater threat to the besieged.

Although Liu Mang doesn't need to worry about this kind of attack with his defensive ability, he must develop awareness to avoid being defeated if he encounters a special enemy one day.

The four musketeers scattered in all directions. Liu Mang approached and dealt with the two who were close to him. He directly snatched the musket of the one who was far away and fought back. With two bangs, all four musketeers were defeated. It took only 5 seconds!
The melee soldiers surrounded him again, but they were killed one by one before they could even touch the corner of Liu Mang's clothes. In the end, only Naomori Kawaharada was left.

The tall warrior general had recovered from the severe pain, and picked up the fallen sword with his left hand, leaning against an arrow shield and staring at Liu Mang.

"Hirata Kuro, I underestimated you!" Kawaharada Naomori sighed, and then continued: "You are so powerful at such a young age, no wonder Master Genichirō is so wary of you! It's a pity that you escaped three years ago, causing so many brothers to die today! Back then, I should have killed you despite Master Genichirō's objection!"

Hmm? Is this a self-exposure?

"What do you mean? Was it you who ordered the tragedy in Pingtianzhuang three years ago?" Liu Mang narrowed his eyes and asked.

Kill Jiulang? The Son of Dragon's Blood, let's find out!
"Hahahaha! Hirata Kuro, you could never have imagined that when the bandits attacked Hirata Manor, we were already watching not far away! Your samurai wanted to go back to rescue them, but Lord Genichirō ordered them to be beheaded on the spot. And I personally killed your samurai leader Haru and Kazushige! Hahahaha! His look of disbelief at that time was so pleasing to the eye! Hahahaha!" Kawaharada Naomori laughed wildly.

Looking at the almost crazy Kawaharada Naomori, Liu Mang began to frown. Although what he said was very real, there were still some parts that he could not understand.

For example, why did he kill all the samurai in his family? Why did he just sit there and watch Hirata-sho perish? This doesn’t make sense!
You have to know that the head of the Hirata family died at the first moment. Kuro, who was only nine years old at that time, had no ability to lead people to resist Ashina Genichirō. As long as Genichirō pretended to be late and failed to save Kuro's parents, and then added a few tears to move the Hirata samurai, and took Kuro to the castle tower to "take care of" him on the grounds that Kuro was still young and could not live alone, he would still fall into his control in the end.

Besides, no matter what, the samurai of the Hirata family are also the power of his Ashina country. As long as he controls Kuro and then tries to win him over a little, it will not be difficult to gather thousands of samurai and several elites from Hirata manor under his command. Why must he kill them all?
They didn't have enough strength to resist the invasion of the inner court, and they killed so many manpower that they could have controlled. Is there something wrong with Ashina Genichirō?

Liu Mang is an old conspirator, always wanting to be a whore and a virtuous woman at the same time. Little did he know that this was entirely possible and something Ashina Genichirō had never thought of.

Although Ashina Genichirō is a scumbag, he is actually quite serious. He speaks openly about his situation. He is not a smart person. He can only play one or two levels of conspiracy at best. He is not capable of playing four or five levels of conspiracy!

The guy who was trying to get the power of Dragon's Heritage didn't think of any other way except robbing and threatening. But Xiao chose to pretend to be loyal and used serious injuries to gain Jiulang's sympathy. Although he still failed, I think that when Jiulang decided to give up saving Xiao, he must have been heartbroken!

Shikaichiro, with your intelligence, you are incapable of protecting Ashina!
After shaking off the blood on the knife, Liu Mang sheathed the knife and continued to move forward. However, Kawaharada Naomori had stopped breathing and his head rolled to the side.

I guess Naomori Kawaharada must be very unwilling to accept this, after all, he died without even touching Liu Mang. If it were me, I would definitely die with my eyes open.
