Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 75: The failed raid

After Liu Mang's devastation, Ashina Castle no longer has much life left. Only in Isshin's residence are the eagle tribes led by him active, and in secret there are also the black eagle tribes led by Owl. The Ashina regime can actually be declared extinct.

The integration of military and politics enables a small country like Ashina to operate efficiently, but the demise of the army also means the destruction of the country.

Based on the traces in the castle tower, it can be inferred that Genichirō has returned, and it is likely that the black Undying Sword buried in the tomb of Jō and Tomoe has been taken away by him.

The main road out of Ashina is controlled by the Imperial Army, and the country is full of the Red Army and the Lone Shadow Group. It is obvious that Ashina Castle cannot be stayed in, as Liu Mang may be back at any time. He can only go to the reed field where the wolf's left arm was cut off at the beginning.

Although Genichirō is weak, his willpower cannot be underestimated. Even at this moment, his will to protect his country has never weakened.

Black Undead Slash·Open the Door. The effect of this sword is different from that of the Tears of Worship. It has a special effect, which is to sacrifice the user's entire life to open the gate to the underworld and summon the dead, so it is called Open the Door.

Although the red Undead Slash is named Bai Lei, it actually has nothing to do with the Tears of the Dragon. It is purely coincidental. The Sakura Dragon has only appeared for a few hundred years, and the act of cutting off the immortals only began 20 years ago. It doesn't make sense that the Undead Slash, which has a longer history, would be specifically used to obtain the Tears of the Sakura Dragon.

Directly using the Immortal Slash to kill Jiulang and the Wolf together will not cut off the immortality. Zhang and Ba have already tried this approach. Ba killed Zhang with the Open Door Slash, and then committed suicide with the Open Door. However, Long Yin still transferred to Jiulang, which shows that it is not possible to only use the Immortal Slash to kill Long Yin's son and the contractor.

As mentioned before, Dragon Tears are the means used by Yinglong to reclaim Dragon's Heritage. He simply spread the information to the world that Dragon Tears are needed to sever the immortality. Then, fearing that the Son of Dragon's Heritage would ignore the issue of the Undying Slash, he spread the information again that one needs the Undying Slash and Worship Tears in order to receive Dragon Tears.

The Sons of Dragon's Blood and the Contractors of the previous session were really disappointing. They couldn't find the Red Undying Slash, so they took the Black Undying Slash and went to the Palace of Origin to challenge the Sakura Dragon.

Yinglong was afraid of the special ability to open the door, so he didn't dare let Ba stab the knife into his body, so they failed to obtain the dragon's tears and failed to cut off the immortality. Yinglong had to start over.

In the game, Yinglong learned his lesson and killed the monk Xianfeng who hid the knife, and then used his identity to guide the wolf to find Mi Niang to obtain the red immortal sword. Driven by greed, he also left a book "Eternal Journey Sutra: Dragon's Return" on the body of the monk Xianfeng, guiding the wolf to take the route of Dragon's Return. If successful, he can not only recover the Dragon's Heritage, but also obtain the power of the White Snake God in one fell swoop.

In order to increase credibility, Sakura Dragon directly arranged three routes. To cut off immortality, only Dragon Tears and Immortal Slash are needed. To return to normal human form, Sakura Flower, Dragon Tears and Immortal Slash are needed. The Dragon's Return is more powerful, requiring Ice Tears and Dragon Tears, but in the end, the Immortal Slash is not needed.

The Return of the Dragon is the most perfect ending. Neither Wolf nor Jiulang have to die, they just need to move on to the next journey. But at the same time, the process to achieve this ending is also the most complicated, which is all carefully arranged by Sakura Dragon.

Sometimes, complexity often represents higher credibility. Among the three routes, the process of Dragon's Return is the most complicated, and information collection is divided into multiple people in the form of fragments. As long as the information can be collected completely, the credibility of this route is obviously the highest, and the possibility of the Son of Dragon's Heritage and the contractor choosing this route is also the highest.

Of course in the game, some people don't have the patience to find all the clues and can't reach this ending, but in reality this is a matter of life and death. Given a choice, neither the Son of Dragon's Heritage nor the Contractee would want to die, so if there is a way to stay alive, they would choose this.

So, although it seems like you have to choose one of three, if there is a choice, the only one is Return of the Dragon!
But this is actually all Sakura Dragon's conspiracy. The Dragon's return is bound to fail. The Dragon's heritage and the White Snake's divine power will both be absorbed by Sakura Dragon and turned into a stepping stone for Him to move further.

We have strayed off topic, back to the original topic, the Black Undead Slash can sacrifice the user's ability to summon the dead, and the resurrected person will reappear in the world in theoretically peak condition and master the power of immortality and the Undead Slash.

If Genichirō and others summon Isshin after his death, the deceased sword master will be resurrected with a strength far beyond his theoretical peak strength during his lifetime, and the immortal power and the Undead Slash will raise his strength again to an incredible level.

With such strength, Isshin Ashina is definitely not someone that the Imperial Household Army can stop. If the gods don't show up, he can single-handedly cause the Imperial Household to collapse!
This is Genichirō’s final journey to protect the country!

Of course, it is also reasonable to kill Liu Mang and Lang by the way. After all, the damage of these two people to Ashina is higher than that of the inner court army, so they are naturally killed first.

This was where Genichirō made a mistake.

Whether in the game or in reality, the resurrected Isshin cannot defeat this master and servant. If he did not target them, he would have really restored his country again. And Isshin, who gained the power of immortality, would have forever suppressed Ashina and would no longer have to fear the inner court.

Unfortunately, in the game he insisted on picking on the wolf first, causing the resurrected Isshin to be killed again. In reality, he probably can't escape this choice either.

Standing on the watchtower of the castle tower and looking down, you can see in the distance a dense red army rushing towards Ashina Castle. This is the Red Army of the Imperial Household, and it is the main force attacking Ashina.

The Ashina army was basically killed by Liu Mang, and the Red Army marched straight into Ashina Castle, shouting excitedly.

Although the number of people seems large, in fact, it is just a small team under the command of Chibei Chongji of the Red Army, with less than a thousand people, and they mainly came in to test the situation.

But Liu Mang knew that the Red Guards below were just making a feint attack. The real offensive was for Xiao to lead the Lone Shadow Group straight to the castle tower.

More than three hours had passed since he showed up on the watchtower. The members of the Black Eagle on the roof had already spotted him. Xiao should have quietly brought people here. Because Liu Mang followed the unparalleled stealth rule, he killed everyone who saw him showing off his power. Xiao didn't know that the Yuzi he wanted to capture was not a lamb to be slaughtered, but a man-eating tiger.

So, when he led his men to surround Liu Mang, he smiled brightly.

The top watchtower of the castle tower was quite spacious, and it did not seem crowded even with dozens of people surrounding it. Liu Mang stood in the middle, looking at the enemies around him.

In addition to Xiao, the level 105 commander, there are 30 members of the Lone Shadow Clan around him, including 3 black hats, 10 white hats, and 17 purple hats. It can be said that all of them are elites, and the worst are all level 95. Even the lowest-level purple hats can fight against the samurai generals.

This is undoubtedly a very powerful force. As a special assault team, this team is incredibly strong. Even Yi Xin in his lifetime may have the possibility of failure.

But the digitized Liu Mang will not fail. In addition, the Paladin's plate armor ignores attacks with damage below 5060. If they want to cause damage to him, their attacks must reach 5060 or more. Even if Xiao uses the burst method, they cannot achieve this attack. Although their Lone Shadow Group is powerful, they are indeed far inferior to Xiao and it is impossible for them to reach an attack power of .

Not to mention, with Liu Mang's physical skills, they couldn't even touch him, so, crush him!

There is nothing much to say about the battle. The long sword is unsheathed, and there is no need to use any force. No one in the Lone Shadow Clan can withstand a sword with an attack power of more than 4,000.

Boom boom boom!
Three consecutive sword energies were shot out, cutting nearly ten Lone Shadow people in half and taking away one life. Then he was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, quickly shuttling and tumbling among the people. When he returned to the original place again, all thirty Lone Shadow people had lost their lives, and this took less than thirty seconds!
The owl was so frightened that he took several steps back, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" As a ninja, Xiao couldn't help it anymore.

The long sword swung, and blood drew a straight line on the ground. Liu Mang looked up at the sky, and his distant voice was ethereal and clear, "This world has gods and demons, monsters and monsters, but there are no ghosts. I was born sacred, worked hard, and finally mastered the martial arts that were enough to kill gods. You are obsessed with fame and fortune, and have abandoned the sword. How can you understand what a truly strong person is?"

After a pause, Liu Mang raised his long knife. Arcs of electricity appeared at the tip of the knife, and crackling sounds were heard continuously.

"I am a human being, without a doubt a human being, a powerful human being. Ignorant people, let me teach you what it means to be strong!"

As he finished speaking, thunder suddenly erupted into the sky, and the Vajra Iron Summoning Thunder Sword turned into a lightning beam that was more than ten meters long, and the golden color filled the entire castle tower!
Xiao's face turned pale and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Jump up and catch it with your knives!"

Ba Zhilei, Xiao had seen it with his own eyes on the battlefield. That beautiful woman with graceful dancing posture had once used this move to instantly wipe out hundreds of inner court soldiers!
But as long as he jumped up and used his sword to absorb the power of thunder, he could completely deflect it. The skill of returning thunder and lightning has existed in Ashina since ancient times, and Owl, as one of the generals of Ashina who stole the country, naturally mastered it.

The thunder blade swept across, drawing a perfect circle with Liu Mang as the center. Thirty Lone Shadows, including Xiao, jumped up instantly to block the attack with their swords, but the thunder was too fast and more than a dozen people still didn't have time to jump up. The electric current instantly flowed through their bodies, turning them into charcoal.

But the person who jumped up was not happy, because the lightning was still effective.

There was nothing wrong with returning the lightning, the mistake was choosing the wrong target. Ba Zhi Lei could have used this technique to deflect it, but what Liu Mang launched was not Ba Zhi Lei, but another kind of thunder attack he had researched on his own.

As an out-of-body lightning attack, if a person does not touch the ground, the lightning cannot form an electric current from head to toe, and there is naturally no question of lightning damage.

However, the lightning released by Liu Mang formed a circuit of its own. The tip of the knife fired and the handle retracted. The strong electric current directly penetrated the air to complete the discharge without the enemy having to step on the ground.

This can actually be achieved simply by increasing the power of lightning. It is said to be self-research, but in fact it is just a miracle of great strength. However, Genichirō cannot produce such thunder no matter what, because he is not strong enough.

Xiao did not expect that Liu Mang's thunder was so powerful. Even though he had already jumped, he was still blown to pieces by the destructive thunder, and one of his lives was lost in an instant.

The solitary shadows turned into ashes in an instant. Having already lost their lives, faced with this force that was beyond human control, they were completely doomed.

There were thirty enemies, but only one was left in less than a minute. Liu Mang no longer took the elites or even the commanders seriously.

You still say you are a human, is there anyone like you who can control thunder and lightning? Xiao cursed in his heart, but his face became more and more gloomy.

Looking at Xiao's expression, Liu Mang explained wildly: "Once upon a time, thunder was the exclusive right of God, but starting from me, this authority will belong to humans!"

There seemed to be a gleam of light in the eyes of the flying head. Perhaps, Owl, had also been looking forward to an era when everyone was as powerful as a dragon.
