I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 150: The Warring States Daimyo is attacking the present world, and the Great Onmyoji appears (6.2k)

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head inwardly and asked Akechi Yuya, who had a determined look in his eyes,
"How do you want to compare?"

Mingzhiyou was also slightly stunned after hearing this, and actually fell into deep thought very seriously.

After a while, he looked directly at Uesugi Tetsu and said,
"Uesugi-kun, to minimize the possibility of injury, how about we decide who wins by either 'slapping the other's back' or 'grabbing the other's wrist' first?"

Without drawing the sword, it can't even be considered as fighting.

Instead, it's as healthy and harmless as a game for digesting food after a meal.

——This is probably a rule that Akechi Yuya came up with in order to avoid both sides suffering losses due to similar strength, which would affect the subsequent real sword test.

and so.

Uesugi Tetsu scratched his head.

——Does this little brother really think that he can beat me and then replace me in the game in perfect condition?

"Naturally."

After saying that, Uesugi Tetsu stood up.

He asked the young man who was taking a deep breath and placing the sword at his waist, "Come to think of it, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Akechi Yuya."

Mingzhiyou also stood straight and bowed slightly to Uesugi Tetsu. "See you later at the small training ground at the end of the right turn after exiting the door. I appreciate your guidance, Uesugi-kun."

His last name is Akechi...

I don’t know if it was because he was too sensitive, but the first person he thought of was “Akechi Mitsuhide”.

However, in this day and age, there are still quite a lot of people with the surname "Mingzhi".

Uesugi Tetsu didn't think too much about it, he just looked around and confirmed that only Hattori Ayako and three big guys in sunglasses wearing Special Affairs Department uniforms wanted to see it.

He could understand Hattori Ayako, but why did the other three come? Did they come to watch the fun?

As if noticing Uesugi Tetsu's puzzled look, one of the operators stepped forward and said, "The reason we came here together is to protect you from harm."

The operator paused, then added, "Especially you, Uesugi-kun."

Uesugi Che understood.

These three Special Affairs Department agents, each with about three-star strength, stood here to prevent the Longyuetang people from doing anything shady to him before the war.

Judging from the brutal methods used by several disciples of Longyuetang against local demons and criminals, although this possibility is relatively small, it is not completely impossible.

"Thank you for your hard work, all three of you."

After nodding to the three burly men, Uesugi Tetsu pulled up Ershaku-sama, who was squatting next to Nyu and playing games with a smile, and left the assembly room.

As soon as he walked out of the assembly room, Uesugi Tetsu could immediately feel the atmosphere emanating from the three people around him change from casual to alert and serious.

This is understandable - with Nanjo Aimi in the assembly room, it is not their turn to take action.

Halfway through the deserted corridor, Uesugi Tetsu suddenly stopped and asked the operators beside him in confusion,

"Three brothers, do you feel like you're being watched?"

The three operators looked at each other, and after confirming that they had found nothing, they all shook their heads and gave a negative answer.

That would be strange.

Uesugi Tetsu continued walking forward, pondering thoughtfully.

This feeling of being "watched" began when he first arrived at the edge of the dojo.

However, this strange feeling disappeared completely the moment he saw Tokugawa Hoshi, making Uesugi Tetsu think it was an illusion.

Nothing happened when I was with Nanjo Aimi just now, but not long after I left, she appeared again at some unknown time.

Twice, it's not an illusion.

"Someone is watching everyone in the dojo, except for Tokugawa Hoshi and Nanjo-nee..."

Uesugi Tetsu said silently in his heart, and quickly determined the target by the method of elimination.

If there is anyone in this Longyuetang Dojo who can do such a thing, then there is only one name left.

Kujo Hazy Night.

The master of the Longyuetang Dojo, the only remaining swordsman of the Shadow Swordsmanship, is said to be an ultimate executioner old witch who has lived for hundreds of years and killed at least five or six figures of demons.

——That’s what the information that Nanjo Aimi gave him said.

"But even a four-star ghost god can't constantly watch every spot in the entire dojo, right?"

Even when Uesugi Tetsu walked up to the wooden sign marked "Small Training Ground No. 3", he still hadn't figured out the problem.

But one thing can be confirmed.

That is - it is best not to transform into a demon in this temple.

Otherwise, if he were to be "seen" by this old witch who enjoys slaying demons and monsters all day long, he might die without knowing how he died.

Uesugi Tetsu thought to himself that if he could fully exert his fighting power, he could compete with the strong ones among the three and a half stars.

But if the opponent reaches four stars and becomes a ghost or god level, everything will be different.

The reason why the four stars are called "ghost and god level" is because "ghosts and gods have unfathomable power", which creates a fundamental difference at the level of life.

After warning himself in his heart, Uesugi Che walked out of the corridor and suddenly felt the view in front of him opened up.

Before our eyes, there stood a stone arena rising from the ground.

The length and width of the arena are about 25 meters. Although it is not very large, it is very reasonable considering the word "small" on the wooden sign.

There are no protective measures on the edge, it is simply surrounded by stones, with only an entrance left on one side.

"This stone seems to be specially made."

Uesugi Tetsu summoned the energy of the corona and knocked hard on the stone wall to confirm this.

He smiled slightly - this way he wouldn't have to worry about damaging the ring in someone else's house.

Walking onto the ring, Uesugi Che looked up.

Mingzhiyou was already standing on the ring with a serious look on his face, with the energy flowing through his body, revealing a layer of pure white energy on his surface.

It seems that he has already mastered the breathing technique to at least the "mastery" level.

As for more detailed information, Uesugi Che could not see it because the breathing method practiced by the other party was beyond his knowledge. It should be some kind of special and rare breathing method.

"Well……"

Uesugi Tetsu once again looked at Akechi Yuya's clear eyes, which had not been tainted by the world, and waved his hand.

"Two feet, sir."

The girl who had been following behind Uesugi Che obediently poked her head out and blinked: "Master Che, do you want me to come?"

"Yeah." Uesugi Tetsu nodded. "Did you hear him talk about the rules earlier?"

Er Chi Da Ren put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "Even though I was playing a game at the time, I remembered every word!"

"That's good."

Uesugi Tetsu smiled and patted her hat: "If you win, I'll give you a big meal later. Just tell me what you want to eat!"

"Oh!"

Erchidama clenched his fists tightly, feeling the strength bursting out of his body.

On the other side of the ring, Akechi You, who didn't expect that Uesugi Tetsu would let the Shikigami fight him, also showed a look of surprise.

He opened his mouth and said, "Uesugi-kun, I want to be with you..."

Uesugi Tetsu made a "stop" gesture to him and said in a feigned dissatisfaction: "Akechi-kun, as a qualified Onmyoji, of course, Shikigami is also part of my strength."

"So if you want to challenge me, you must first defeat my Shikigami."

Mingzhi You also stared at the black-haired little girl who was only about 60 centimeters tall, not even as tall as his legs, and hesitated.

"No... this is too much of a bully for her..."

Uesugi Tetsu's face turned cold: "Mingzhi-kun, are you looking down on my Shikigami?"

As soon as these words came out, Akechi Yuya on the opposite side immediately stopped talking, and Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but sigh that young people who are inexperienced in the world are easily influenced by the emotions of others.

"In that case, let's get started."

Uesugi Tetsu said to the energetic Nishaku-sama, "Please give full play to your creative ideas, Nishaku-sama!"

"poof!"

A series of "weird ideas" tools have been arranged in Erchisama's mind.

She knew that the reason Uesugi Tetsu asked her to fight was to observe how she used her new idealistic ability.

——And it wasn’t in vain that she, Ershaku-sama, had spent so many days hiding in the Ksitigarbha statue reading light novels and comics!

Before Akechiyou could formally bow to Nishaku-sama, the latter stepped onto a floating board that appeared out of nowhere.

Then, with a whoosh, it rushed over at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye!

——After all, who would greet you when fighting with those guys from Longyuetang!
Before Mingzhiyou could figure out the purpose of Nishaku-sama flying towards the edge of the ring, he suddenly saw the latter turn around and make a shooting gesture at him with his finger.

"Po, po."

As Ershaku-sama made the mouth shape, two gray-white bullets actually appeared out of thin air and rushed towards Akechi Yuya amidst the loud gunfire.

Hearing these two gunshots that sounded just like real gunfire, Akechi Yuya suddenly froze all over and stood there motionless.

—It's over. I can't split these two bullets without a sword, and the rules clearly prohibit harming the opponent. Why did Uesugi-kun's Shikigami shoot at me...

In this emergency, a lot of complicated thoughts flooded into Akechi Yuya's mind, making him stand there in a daze.

As a result, two gray-white bullets exploded with a "pop" sound after getting close to Akechi Yuya, and turned into white ropes that tightly bound his wrists.

Mr. Two-foot-tall, you win.

Even Ershaku-sama herself did not expect this unexpected result - this was only the first part of her silky little combo, just used to "force movement".

There are still two, three, four, and five rings to come. Even if they all fail, there are still continuously nested plans B and C...

The girl stepped on the hoverboard that had lost power and sighed speechlessly.

——She hadn’t even let Lord Che see the results yet, but her opponent fell down first.

In that case, can Lord Che still give her extra food?
Uesugi Tetsu was not surprised by this result.

He looked at Akechi Yuya, who was still staring at the white rope on his wrist and hadn't reacted, and commented: "This is what pure academicism is like."

He only practiced sword fighting and fought within the defined rules, but he had never really fought a life-and-death battle.

——Once you encounter an unexpected, life-threatening situation, you will become like Akechi Yuya, who doesn't know what to do for a moment.

On paper, Akechi Yuya was undoubtedly stronger than Nishaku-sama, but he was subdued by the latter in a single blow. Perhaps in the eyes of the three members of Oborogetsu-do, even though his actual combat record was no more than five, he was still considered an "academic" figure.

Therefore, there is some reason why they look down on themselves.

Uesugi Tetsu waved to Lady Nishaku, asking her to jog over and untie the restraints on the little brother's hands who was kneeling on the ground with a look of disbelief on his face.

"This……"

Akechi Yuu also looked at the tiny Nishaku-sama.

When he thought about how he had practiced for so long and was praised for his talent, but was defeated by such a young girl, his face turned red quickly.

Ashamed.

"No matter what, I lose!"

Akechi Yuya shouted, lowering his head deeply to the surface of the ring, and assuming the dogeza posture towards Uesugi Tetsu and the other two.

"Uesugi-kun! I was too arrogant. I'm sorry!"

"That doesn't have to be the case."

Uesugi Tetsu reached out and pulled the younger brother up, smiling at him and saying, "It's a good thing to be able to recognize your own shortcomings. If you think about it this way, I've also helped you, Akechi-kun."

When Akechi You heard these words, he was moved and looked at Uesugi Tetsu, his eyes a little red.

"Thank you."

He bowed deeply to Uesugi Tetsu.

After responding, Uesugi Tetsu led Erchisama off the stage.

Next, he had to find a secluded place and practice the Corona Breathing Technique in the dozens of hours before the real sword test.

Because Uesugi Tetsu believed that even without transforming into a demon, he had a full chance of winning against the two two-and-a-half-star characters, Akatsuki Ran and Yatou Shigure.

But Ge Yeqian has long been different.

She is a genuine three-star, and has experience in killing many three-star monsters alone, and her battle record is fully verifiable.

Even though Uesugi Tetsu had called her "big sister" before and was going against the woman who tried to intimidate him when they met, he had to admit that Kuzuya Chihaya was powerful.

Therefore, Uesugi Tetsu had to work hard to improve his proficiency in Coronal Breathing during this short period of time.

Then, through high-intensity battles with Xiao Yuelan and Yaqu Shigure, he made further breakthroughs in the breathing method, allowing it to be promoted to the "Mastery Level" in battle.

In this way, this real sword test will become a sure thing.

But before that, of course you have to do what you promised.

"——Two feet master, more food!"

The girl raised her hands and cheered.
"Oh hoo! Long live Lord Che! Loyal! Orange!"

……

Deep inside Longyue Hall, in a deep, dark room.

Pulling his gaze away from the stone crows beside the small training ground, Shigure felt a wave of intense nausea.

"I still feel sick after so many times. Can't my body adapt to it?"

Xiao Yuelan, who was polishing a pale bone dagger, raised her eyes lazily and said, "Then why don't you ask Master to transform you into a gargoyle?"

Crowstalker Shigure was too lazy to answer such a stupid question. He just said, "But at least I learned something."

He whispered, "The shikigami that has been following Uesugi Tetsu is confirmed to be quite strong, and his abilities are somewhat strange and bizarre."

Crowdstalker Shigure thought back and speculated, "Perhaps it's a spatial ability that allows objects to appear out of thin air. And judging by its appearance, that shikigami is most likely the urban legend 'Yashika-sama', though it seems to have undergone a unique mutation."

"Anyway."

He flipped open the densely packed notes about "Uesugi Tetsu" and concluded,
"Uesugi Tetsu should be more reliant on Shikigami, but he has also demonstrated strong physical abilities before. The information also states that his Corona Breathing and Natural Rishin Flow are also quite strong."

Crow Duck Shigure closed his eyes and threw the notebook to the creeping shadow beside him.

Soon, a creepy chewing sound was heard, and the entire notebook disappeared.

"—I judged that he was using his shikigami as a vanguard to draw the enemy's fire, while I waited for an opportunity to strike. Although his Yin-Yang technique was relatively weak, his mental state was well-cultivated. Ordinary mental illusions should have no effect on him."

Xiao Yuelan gently placed her index finger on the bone dagger, then withdrew it after seeing a bloody mark appear on the surface of the motionless fingertip.

"Speak the key."

"If you want to deal with him, you can divide the battlefield and attack the vital points. But don't reveal too many flaws, or he might be killed by a hidden attack."

After hearing this, Xiao Yuelan jumped down from the rock she was sitting on, startling the crows that were gathered in groups on the ground and making them fly towards the rock walls on both sides.

"Thanks for the information, little crow."

She pulled out a card from the lining of her chest and threw it over: "Tonight's hunting target has been arranged. Remember not to let Senior Sister interrupt my digestion exercise."

After Xiao Yuelan finished speaking, she merged into the darkness like a pool of liquid, making her once again feel the phantom pain faintly coming from all over her body.

She thought indifferently:

——How could it be a mere flower that was carefully nurtured and raised in the greenhouse of the Special Affairs Office, more powerful than those who walk on the edge of life and death every day hunting demons?

Special Affairs Office, stop looking down on people.

……

On the other hand, before training, Uesugi Tetsu suddenly received a message on Line from Nanjo Aimi asking him to go to the gathering room again.

He didn't say what he was going to do specifically, just asked him to come over quickly.

Faced with Nanjo-san's rare request, he naturally would not refuse.

When he arrived at the assembly room, Uesugi Tetsu was about to knock on the door when he found that it was ajar and not closed.

So he didn't knock on the door, but walked in directly, and saw Nanjo Aimi still sitting on the sofa in the gathering room, and...

Uesugi Tetsu turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a burly figure and strong muscles. He was wearing a black and white short haori and had an unshaven beard on his chin. He looked very rough.

Uesugi Tetsu's pupils shrank slightly as he felt the surging spiritual power like a tide from the burly man.

The spiritual power that escaped from it alone was at least ten times greater than his own.

Strong, very strong!

This man is a ghost-level person even without any meaning!

And judging from the fluctuations of his spiritual power, he is most likely a great Onmyoji!
Before Uesugi Tetsu could speak, he saw the man raise his eyebrows and asked to the side: "Nanjo, is this the genius you mentioned?"

Nanjo Aimi said calmly: "How is it?"

After the two of them talked, Uesugi Tetsu understood the purpose of Nanjo Aimi calling him over.

This is to make him familiar to the great Onmyoji, which is equivalent to helping him make future connections in advance.

He shifted his gaze to Nanjo Aimi's expressionless face.

Nanjo-sister, why are you so nice to me...

Kujo Shingo, who also came to Oborozukido as one of the notaries, looked Uesugi Tetsu up and down and commented,
"Miaozi is indeed very good, but she's not as talented as you say, Nanjo."

Kujo Shingo shook his head. "A once-in-a-millennium chance is too unrealistic. In my opinion, this Uesugi-kun's future achievements should be similar to mine, or even higher."

——It is undoubtedly a great honor to have a ghost-level figure personally say that you will definitely reach the ghost-level or even higher in the future.

But Nanjo Aimi smiled.

"Then please remember today's thoughts before you leave, Lord Kujo, and wait for time to pass."

She said to Kujo Shingo, "Time will tell."

Kujo Shingo stared at Uesugi Tetsu for a while, then nodded without comment and walked out the door.

Just before he was about to leave the gathering room, Nanjo Aishi suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Mr. Kujo, do you regret having decided to expel Kujo Tsubaki from the family?"

The sound of a door closing cleanly answered Nanjo Aimi's question.

Seeing the unfamiliar ghost-like figure, which was no longer so unfamiliar, leave the room, Uesugi Tetsu and Nishaku-sama subconsciously relaxed.

——After all, there is a humanoid nuclear bomb standing next to you that is always emitting threats, and no one can turn a blind eye to it.

Uesugi Tetsu let out a breath, but his eyes were attracted by the computer screen opened by Nanjo Aimi.

He slowly read out the huge title of the document,
"A rough report on the current situation of the territories of the Warring States daimyo?"

Uesugi Tetsu was stunned for a moment: "Sister Nanjo, does the work of the Special Affairs Office also include research on history?"

"What history..."

Nanjo Aimi unhappily crushed the can in her hand after hearing the question: "This is the current situation in the world."

She rubbed her temples. "Right now, Takeda Yoshinobu is leading his troops to attack Yamanashi Prefecture. If we capture Yokohama later, we might have to face that guy again."

Takeda Yoshinobu?

Uesugi Che narrowed his eyes when he heard the familiar name.

Wasn't Takeda Yoshinobu the samurai who was the first to greet him at the coming-of-age ceremony, and who had nothing special about him other than that?

Oh, and he's the son of Takeda Shingen, the "Tiger of Kai"...

its not right.

Uesugi Tetsu asked in confusion, "Nanjo-sister, are you saying that people from the Warring States period have been resurrected in the Unchanging World and are leading their troops to test and attack the Modern World?"

Nanjo Aimi nodded: "You have a good ability to summarize."

She tapped her knee with her fingers. "I heard that there seems to be a Sengoku daimyo in Shikoku who is also trying to probe."

"But that's not within the jurisdiction of our Special Affairs Office. Let's let the Onmyoji, who have too many troops and nowhere to put them, worry about it first."

Uesugi Che was stunned after hearing this.

It sounds like it's a common phenomenon for daimyo or famous people from the Warring States period to be resurrected in the ordinary world?

He asked the question.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Nanjo Aimi explained to him: "I can only say that the more famous the celebrity, the greater the probability of their existence."

She counted on her fingers, "Those well-known Warring States heroes like Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu must have all stayed in the Undying World, which is infinitely more vast than the present world, and established their own territories."

"It's just that they're probably still lying dormant, gathering strength, and waiting for the perfect opportunity, so they haven't rashly attacked the living world."

Uesugi Tetsu listened quietly, and suddenly asked Nanjo Aimi as if possessed by a strange force,

"If that's the case, then is it possible that Imagawa Yoshimoto is currently staying somewhere in the world?"
