Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 63 Where Did Butterfly Go?
"Xiao, what are you doing..." Finally Liu Mang decided to have a chat with Xiao.

"Lord Yu Yuzi, I wanted to help you eliminate the bandits, but unfortunately, I am really old and I can't help you anymore. You have to be careful." Xiao said intermittently.

Seeing Xiao's miserable state, Liu Mang couldn't help but conduct a probe.

Owl (Hsui Ukonzaemon)
Rating: 108
Life: 10000/6156
Attack: 812-816
Defense: 771
My goodness, you still have more than 60% of your health left, and you’re still pretending to be dead in front of me!
Xiao was still acting on his own, not knowing that his health had exposed him, "Yuzi, I can't do it anymore. There are not only these bandits, but also the lackeys of the inner court. You can only go on by yourself."

After saying this, Xiao's breath suddenly disappeared. No matter how Liu Mang sensed and checked, he was undoubtedly dead.

Hiss! What a powerful secret technique of pretending to be dead! Liu Mang was very shocked. Even he who had mastered the true meaning could not see the flaw. He wanted it so much!

At this time, Inosuke finally ran over. Although he was shocked by Liu Mang's strength, he was not afraid of him like the bandits. This was their master, so the stronger he was, the better!
Wolf also walked out of the darkness with a complicated expression. He didn't expect that his ambitious foster father would die here without any warning. He had thought in the dark that his foster father was waiting for the young master to get close to him and then launch a sneak attack, but he really died.
After all, foster father is foster father. As a top ninja, Wolf didn’t realize that Owl was pretending to be dead.

Under Liu Mang's instructions, Wolf searched the entire mansion street, killed the few bandits who were hiding, and found two ninja tools.

One is a blowgun, the other is the flying monkey's ninja axe, one sets fire, the other breaks shield, both are very useful.

A Ksitigarbha swaddling cloth was also picked up in a corner. This is a special item that can provide vitality for a life. The wolf can use this to increase the chance of resurrection on the spot.

Inosuke, under Liu Mang's instructions, gathered the remaining civilians in the mansion street. They were all families of Hirata Samurai, and now there were less than a thousand people left.

Facing the people with fear on their faces, Liu Mang felt uncomfortable. Even though they would be killed by the bandits in the original plot, Liu Mang saved their lives. However, the enemy's target was him after all. These innocent people were implicated by him and suffered this disaster. Moreover, their husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers could not come back.
They were all loyal men who died for him, and Liu Mang must settle their families.

The main house of Pingtian was not burned down by the fire because Liu Mang arrived in time, so the property inside should be intact. Pingtian can no longer be maintained, so let these people take the money and leave. I hope they can live a better life.

They found a cart to load the owl and take it away, and released the one who had been killed by the knife separately. A group of nearly a thousand people headed towards the main house, and on the way they met Nogami Gensai who was bringing people to help.

Nogami Gensai is the eldest son of Granny Nogami and an outstanding disciple of the Ashina school. He once participated in the bloody battle to steal the country and his strength should not be underestimated.

He hurried over with the dozen or so warriors left in the main house, and met Liu Mang's large army head-on. They were naturally very surprised.

Could it be that the young master actually led the civilians to defeat the invading bandits?
After Inosuke's gesticulating explanation, Xuansai and his party finally understood that it was the young master who was so brave and invincible that he defeated the bandits alone, and beheaded the leader Anaja Shigezo and a ninja hunter Yasayamain Enma in public, avenging the Hirata family on the spot!

This was just like listening to a myth. They knew how difficult it was to deal with the scattered bandits they encountered along the way. In a one-on-one fight, only Xuanzhai could win for sure, while the others had a high chance of failure. And they were the elite samurai of the Hirata family. At their peak, the Hirata family had less than four hundred elite soldiers, while there were nearly a thousand bandits!
So excluding the four elites and the leader of the Hirata family, the frontal strength of this group of thieves is even stronger than that of the Hirata family at its peak!

With such strength, he was defeated by the young master alone! Xuan Zhai and others looked at Liu Mang with admiration, sighing that he was worthy of being the son of Long Yin. He had such strength at the age of nine. The son of God was indeed not an ordinary person!

Xiao who shared most of the burden:
Although there is no need for Owl to share the burden, it cannot be denied that he did share it. When Inosuke brags, can he also blow Owl a little?

Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at Pingtian's main house. The house, which had not experienced any war, was beautiful and quiet, which slightly washed away Liu Mang's boiling murderous aura.

After finding the valuables and distributing them, Liu Mang disbanded the Hirata family despite everyone's opposition and asked them to take their valuables and leave Ashina as quickly as possible, the farther the better.

Along the way, the wolf told Liu Mang what he saw and heard in the forest, and Liu Mang also told everyone the news of Ashina's betrayal.

Ashina cannot be trusted, you must leave this country, or you will be wiped out in the future!

The young master had made up his mind, and everyone was helpless and could only take the money and leave.

Only Nogami, mother and son, refused to leave no matter what and insisted on staying to protect Liu Mang, leaving him speechless.

Liu Mang and Lang will definitely return to their original time and space. Once he leaves, it is unknown whether the original Jiulang will come online or the time and space will collapse directly. In case it is the Jiulang three years ago who comes online, he will have no ability to escape from Genichirō's clutches.

The Nogami brothers are fine now, and they will definitely not watch the young master being taken away. If they take action, they will surely die, and even Grandma Nogami will die as well.

What you are doing is forcing me to destroy Genichirō's army!
Liu Mang felt helpless, but he still made up his mind.

He sent the wolf to the three-story tower on the left side of the main entrance of the mansion to find another ninja tool, and Liu Mang asked Inosuke to get a torch.

"Owl, although your death is meaningless, you died for me, Hirata, after all. Now conditions are limited, and I cannot give you a grand funeral. I can only cremate you and take you away with ashes. When I destroy Ashina and wipe out the inner court, I will bury you with the standards of a daimyo!" Liu Mang said to Owl's "corpse", and then took the torch and was about to light it. Owl's hair is incredibly dense all over his body. As the saying goes, more hair weakens fire. I believe that once the flames come to his body, he will burn very brilliantly!
"Uh, cough, cough, cough!" Seeing that he was about to be set on fire, Xiao finally couldn't pretend anymore. If he didn't move a few more times, he would turn into ashes.

The owl opened his hazy eyes, as if he didn't know what had happened. He didn't hear the communication between Liu Mang and the wolf, and didn't know that his conspiracy had been exposed, so he wanted to continue pretending.

Without waiting for Xiao to speak, Liu Mang cheered with surprise, threw the torch directly, then walked forward and grabbed Xiao's hands, repeating something like "You're not dead, that's great."

However, I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the thrown torch fell behind Xiao and instantly ignited his huge braid!
Xiao realized it immediately and tried to pull his hands out to put out the fire, but when he exerted force, he found that his hands seemed to be handcuffed by fine steel and he couldn't pull his hands out no matter what!
He looked into Liu Mang's eyes and found that there was only calmness and murderous intent in them, and there was no sign of happiness at all.

Damn! Exposed! Xiao sighed anxiously, struggling with all his strength, and the ninja secret technique burst out, instantly adding five times the power to his hands.

After all, he is a giant ninja with a special physique. In terms of strength, even if Liu Mang's burst of strength is higher, he is still not as good as Xiao who uses his full strength, and is thrown into the air.

But this does not mean Liu Mang's failure. On the contrary, Xiao's eagerness to put out the fire gave Liu Mang an opportunity to take off.

The outstanding katana was instantly unsheathed, and the sharp blade cut through the air, leaving a semicircular blade light, which looked like a crescent moon under the moonlight.

The sixth level of the twelve levels of strength, superposition!

Sensing the danger, Xiao tried to draw his sword to counterattack, but his hand grabbed nothing from behind. Then he remembered that the sword had been taken down on the road.

The moment he delayed, the blade had already reached his neck, and it was too late to dodge.

Before he died, Xiao's biggest question was not how he was exposed, but how did the knife come from when he clearly didn't see any knife on Liu Mang?

laugh!
Blood gushed out into the sky, and Xiao's head with its huge braid rolled to the ground, with surprise still on his face.

A top ninja of his generation, one of the five generals who fought in the bloody battle to steal the country, a giant ninja owl, Usui Ukonzaemon, died here in such a trivial way.

If he were to fight Liu Mang with his true strength, perhaps Liu Mang would need nearly ten minutes of testing and exploration to defeat him. But since he was pretending, Liu Mang took the opportunity to disarm him, and then with a little more manipulation, this powerful enemy was killed in one blow!

After a series of bloody battles, Liu Mang killed more than 80 bandits, especially two elites and a commander. With the huge level gap and rank bonus, the huge amount of experience instantly allowed him to reach level . Most of the experience was provided by Xiao!

As usual, they collected the bodies, found a key, and an extraordinary-level wild sword, but nothing else. The expected Evercherry Flower was not on him. It seems that the parallel worlds are also different. In this time and space that Owl came to through Grandma Ueno's guardian bell, he did not take away the Evercherry incense wood, nor the Evercherry Flower.

In the original plot, Tokinazakura Kasumi can only be obtained by killing Owl in the castle tower after the inner court invades Ashina Castle. Tokinazakura Flower is obtained by going back three years ago and killing Owl after obtaining the Owl's guardian bell.

It seems that the behaviors of the owls in the three worlds are not exactly the same, otherwise you can get the Evercherry Fragrant Wood and Evercherry Flower by killing any one of them.

It doesn't matter if there is no Sakura Flower, but at least in this world, there is a drop of Sakura Dew in the hands of Lady Butterfly. That is an item that can permanently increase the wolf's chance of resurrection on the spot. It contains enormous life force and should not be missed.

And through what the wolf saw and heard in the forest, Liu Mang also guessed that it was Madame Butterfly who used illusion to impersonate Genichirō and ordered the killing of the Hirata clan after the tyrant general Genichirō was lured away. As the number one illusionist in Ashina Country, only she had the ability to deceive those elite samurai generals!
In the original plot, Madame Butterfly controlled Jiulang in a hidden Buddhist temple under the mansion and waited for the wolf to come. But now he has descended from heaven like a god to earth and defeated the bandits. The mansion is intact and he is not in the Buddhist temple. So where is Madame Butterfly? Is she still waiting in the Buddhist temple?

Under the triple tower, Wolf pierced a lone ninja's chest with a single sword, killing the ninja who had fought with him for nearly a hundred rounds.

Just as he was about to open the bottom of the tower and take away the ninja tools, 8 kunai flew over in two waves, instantly blocking all of Wolf's movement space!

If you can't dodge left, right, or behind, then charge forward!
Wolf rushed forward at explosive speed, dodging several kunai and blocking two of them, narrowly defusing the attack. He looked up at the direction of the attack and saw a female ninja in tight clothes standing on a tightrope and looking down at him.

The gray hair and deep wrinkles revealed that the man was old, but his figure flying in the air on the wire was as agile as usual. Obviously, he was a top ninja!
Lord Die! Even you.
The wolf's heart sank, and he pointed his blade at the intruder.

Even if it is you, as long as you have the intention to murder the young master, I will definitely kill you!

The foster father wanted to fight him three times, I won’t go into details here, just kill him directly
