Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 58 Roaring Thunder!
Looking back at Grandma Ueno who was sitting in the corner, Liu Mang's eyes looked towards the figure leaning against the mountain wall not far away. He was Ueno Inosuke, Grandma Ueno's son.

When I walked up to him, he seemed to hear some noise and asked hurriedly if anyone was there.

His body was covered with wounds. His blue swordsman uniform was stained red with blood. His tendons in his hands and feet were cut. His eyes were wrapped in gauze. He had blinded them himself three years ago just to protect his young master.

He was severely injured in resisting the Imperial Army, but the Ashina Army that recaptured the place turned a blind eye to him. How hateful!

"I'm here, Inosuke!" Liu Mang squatted down and spoke softly in his ear.

Inosuke was stunned and said in disbelief, "Young Master?"

"It's me. Thank you for your hard work."

With his mouth wide open, Inosuke seemed to want to say something, but the sob had already blocked his throat, and his lips trembled for a long time before he could speak again.

"I'm sorry, young master. I...I failed to protect you! I didn't do it at Hirata Manor, and I still didn't do it after coming to Ashina Castle. I...I'm a loser! Wuuuu! Cough cough cough cough!" Inosuke apologized to Liu Mang with tears in his eyes, and Liu Mang fell silent.

Inosuke was just a small samurai who had only learned swordsmanship for three or four years. Daring to swing the sword at Lady Butterfly was already the limit for him. No more could be asked of him.

"Inosuke, there's no need to apologize. You've done a good job. If you hadn't gone to the castle tower to protest three years ago, I would have spent those three years in jail. Thank you, Inosuke, you protected me, really, you protected me!" Liu Mang comforted softly.

This was of course a lie. He had heard that three years ago, a samurai from the Hirata family went to Genichirō to protest and wanted to take back their young master, but was beaten out with sticks. The protest did not have any effect, but instead restricted his freedom.

But his loyalty is real, and his sacrifice is real. His whole family has paid a heavy price to protect Liu Mang, and their lives are about to come to an end. How could Liu Mang blame him?

When Inosuke heard Liu Mang's comfort, a smile seemed to appear on his face. He changed the subject and said, "Young Master, my mother has always been thinking of you. She is over there. Can you please go see her? She made a guardian bell for you and has always wanted to give it to you. She was stimulated three years ago and is a little crazy. Please bear with her!"

Looking up to the sky and sighing, Liu Mang responded to his request: "I went to see Grandma Ueno. She mistook me for you and asked me to offer the bell to the Buddha statue. She is in good condition, at least better than you. Don't worry. I will move you to her side."

As he said this, he was about to pick up Inosuke and carry him over.

But Inosuke stopped him and said, "Master, forget it. I don't have much time left to live. It's better to die here quietly without her knowing. This will save her from the pain. Maybe she can go on alone."

Liu Mang remained silent, knowing that this was impossible. After Grandma Ueno handed over the guardian bell, she had lost her support, her spirit had dissipated, and she was powerless to save the situation. At least, let them stay together in the last moment of their lives!

Liu Mang picked up Inosuke despite his refusal and said, "Inosuke, give Grandma Ueno the last warmth. She may not remember you, but I think she must hope that her son can go home to accompany her. At this last moment, don't leave any regrets!" Inosuke stopped struggling, perhaps he realized something!

Placing Inosuke next to Grandma Ueno, he leaned his back against the wall with his head turned to the left. Although he couldn't see, he felt that his mother was there.

His feeling was correct. Grandma Ueno was curled up in the corner on the left, and she seemed to be mumbling or in a dream.

After taking a final look at the two of them, Liu Mang decided to move forward. Ashina, there are still many targets that need to be killed!
Suddenly, Inosuke seemed to remember something, and struggled to say to Liu Mang: "Young Master, you have to be careful of the people of Ashina Country. They are all crazy! Not only are they trying to gain immortal power, they also capture ordinary people for experiments. If you meet them, you must remember to hide. They don't recognize any relatives, and they are very dangerous!"

"., Okay, I get it. I will get out of the way. Well done, Inosuke. This news is very important! You and mother-in-law just stay here. Maybe I can find something to save your lives." Liu Mang nodded in response, turned around and jumped onto the stone platform and continued walking.

You guys. As expected! Inosuke sighed, turned to his mother again, and fell silent.

While walking on the road, Liu Mang began to recall what Inosuke said about the experiment.

The so-called experiment was true, and the host was Daoxuan's junior brother Dao Ce, who tried to study the power of immortality through the water of transformation, and the final result was the water of transformation, which is a very concentrated water of transformation. Ashina Genichirō later obtained immortality through the water of transformation, but he could not maintain the human form, which is a low-quality immortality.

However, Dosaku's ability was limited, and he failed to research the Transmutation Water. He only researched the technology of using Transmutation Water to create crazy warriors, which did enhance the combat effectiveness of Ashina to a certain extent. But even if he could win the war with this, Ashina would be completely destroyed by the crazy monsters!
The so-called Transformed Water evolved from the Source Water flowing from the Source Palace. Because it was contaminated with the breath of the Sakura Dragon, it possessed a certain degree of immortal power. The belief that Ashina Country has worshipped from ancient times to the present is the Source Water, the source of this Transformed Water!

To win, Genichirō has already resorted to all means, working with Dosaku to use the people as experiments! Ashina Genichirō, the so-called protection of Ashina means that you have to use the lives of the people of Ashina in exchange for victory!
Soon, Liu Mang overcame all obstacles and arrived at the Tiger's Mouth Stairs. Here, he encountered the first enemy born out of the Transformation into Water experiment - the Red Devil!
Red Ghost: Level: 80
Life: 6000/6000
Attack: 750-760
Defense: 350
It is at level 80, with extremely high health and attack power, and not low defense, even if it is not wearing armor!
This kind of enemy was once an ordinary citizen of Ashina, but was transformed into an extremely powerful monster through experiments. It is about two meters and five meters tall, with red skin and eyes that emit red light.

Red eyes are one of the characteristics of the transformation of Hua Ruoshui. Although he is fearless and has a strong desire to attack, his transformed eyes are afraid of fire, which can be dealt with by fire.

Just when I came here before, I killed an artilleryman who seemed to be recruited by Ashina from the Fallen Valley. This kind of artilleryman is tall and powerful, and can hold a cannon and fire. After killing him, the cannon and the shells were picked up by Liu Mang, and it was perfect to use them to deal with the red ghost!

Bang bang bang!
The violent sound of cannons shook the world. Liu Mang also held a cannon and fired shells. Four shots caused an imbalance!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he stabbed the man in the chest and took his life. Under the effect of Bian Ruoshui, the red ghost recovered from his injuries and pounced on Liu Mang again.

After all, water still has a certain immortal power, which allows the red demon to have an extra life like an elite strongman. By using experiments to achieve the effect of world protection, Dosaku can be considered capable.

But fear of fire is a fatal flaw. After four rounds of artillery fire, the Red Devil was once again knocked off balance. Liu Mang dropped the cannon and walked closer. He stabbed the Red Devil in the forehead, drew out the knife, shook off the blood, and put it back into the sheath. The powerful and fearless Red Devil died just like that!
The red demon's immense strength is no joke. With its power, as long as Liu Mang is caught by it, it will be like the Hulk hitting Loki. It will be no problem for it to throw him back to Inosuke from here!
Fortunately, after going crazy, his attack became disorganized, relying purely on his body and strength to smash around. Facing soldiers with average martial arts skills, he would naturally kill them indiscriminately. Facing a martial arts grandmaster like Liu Mang, he would be completely defeated. Even without a cannon, he could kill him.

A Buddhist bead and a volume of Ninja Pharmacology Knowledge A were found on him. An excellent sword also dropped from him, but no one knew where it came from.

Tachi (Excellent), Attack: 60.

Good stuff, I equipped it directly and replaced the ordinary katana. The attack increased by 35 points again!
This knife can be used directly in your hand. An excellent grade knife is far superior to an ordinary knife and is not so easy to damage. If it is properly maintained and used, it is enough for one purpose.

Behind the red ghost was the city gate, which could not be opened, so he could only climb up the gate tower and enter through the broken gap.

In the gate tower, I picked up an eagle-carrying tube, a gourd seed, and a god-eater, which are the most precious props inside.

The Eagle Tube is a telescope, there is nothing much to say. As mentioned before, the gourd seed is the material used to upgrade the medicine gourd.

The God Eater is a secret medicine that can completely restore injuries and remove abnormal conditions after taking it. It is made from a plant that carries the unformed grass and wood gods, and carries the grace of the gods. Since taking one pill is equivalent to swallowing a god, it is called the God Eater!

Since the advent of the Sakura Dragon, this plant has disappeared. Liu Mang speculated that the Sakura Dragon must have taken away the power of all plant gods after its advent, leading to the demise of the local gods.

Going out of the gate tower, you will see a larger camp in front of you. The samurai general Yamauchi Norizen is guarding the camp, with a hundred younger brothers ready to take your orders at any time.

Samurai General Yamauchi Norizen
Rating: 80
Life: 2500/2500
Attack: 400-410
Defense: 395
His level and attributes are slightly higher than Kawaharada Naomori, but far inferior to the Red Oni. Only his martial arts are worth seeing.

In the same way, Yamauchi Norizen has a similar style to Kawaharada Naomori, or it can be said that almost all the samurai generals in Ashina have a similar style, with tall stature and wielding a huge nodachi.

This guy's martial arts has improved slightly compared to Kawaharada Naomori, but he is still crushed by Liu Mang. The battle is much more intense than before. After all, he has a hundred younger brothers, including twenty musketeers!

Ignore Yamauchi Norizen and the surrounding melee soldiers first, drag them around the field to deal with the musketeers, grab the loaded guns and fire at the crowd. Even if these soldiers are at an average level of 70, they can hardly avoid a sudden shot.

By the time he had dealt with the 20 musketeers, seven or eight of the melee soldiers had also fallen. Yamauchi Nozen was so angry that he started cursing, but he couldn't catch up with Liu Mang.

Looking at the densely packed enemies behind him, Liu Mang suddenly wanted to test the effect of the Chin Thunder. With such a densely packed position, it would be a shame not to fire one shot at them!
The power of Long Yin boiled, and Liu Mang soared into the air. The lightning elements within a radius of dozens of meters shrank rapidly and condensed on Liu Mang's knife. Golden lightning suddenly appeared, and the blade seemed to have turned into divine thunder. Arcs of electricity extended from the sword to form a six-meter-long blade of light. The fierce lightning illuminated the sky!
Ba Zhilei!
Zizizizizizizizi! The blade swung out, and the huge blade condensed by the golden arc swept across. The lightning shattered and spread after passing through the person in front, jumping and interweaving among the people. In just a moment, more than 70 Ashina soldiers were electrocuted into charcoal. Yamauchi Norizen triggered the resurrection, and his life was directly cut off!

The ground was affected and was also charred and smoking. The surrounding maple trees were directly ignited by the lightning. The camp seemed to have turned into purgatory. The pungent burnt smell made Yamauchi Norizen cough!

Is he a god? This was Yamauchi Norizen's last thought.
