I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 380 Thunder Dragon Strike, Devouring "Ishikawa Takeshi"! Encountering Oda's Army at Okehazama, Becoming the Qualification of the Ruler of the Land.
What the hell?
Uesugi Tetsuya, sitting in the carriage, looked unusually bewildered—this guy not only dared to stop our Shangluo caravan, but he also introduced himself and his family.

Are they afraid that their family's destruction isn't happening fast enough?
The muscles have grown into the brain, haven't they?

Even faster than Uesugi Tetsu's thoughts was the two-foot-tall man's nearly four-meter-long halberd, which was only a few meters away from the giant named "Ishikawa Takeshi"!

The air, thick with the stench of blood, was torn apart by the gleaming, sharp halberd blade, which cleaved with immense force toward the giant's waist, attempting to sever him in two.

Okabe Motonobu's naginata also shot out from the opposite direction like lightning, slashing towards the giant's neck.

If the giant chooses to resist, he will inevitably be struck by the other's full-force attack, no matter which side he faces!

But the next moment, a look of unexpected surprise flashed in the eyes of both Nichi and Okabe Motonobu.

Because the giant simply stood still, gripping the handle of his enormous iron hammer, letting the blade slash at his flesh without moving an inch!
However, neither the halberd nor the naginata could even pierce his skin, let alone tear his flesh.

boom!boom!
Before the deafening roar could be heard, the two-foot-tall man and Okabe Motonobu flew backwards towards the mountains on either side of the road, one on the left and one on the right!

The two easily shattered the hard stone wall, leaving two deep pits shrouded in thick smoke and dust.

Having done all this, Ishikawa Takeshi ignored the elite samurai surrounding him, hoisted the giant hammer onto his shoulder, and waved his hand with a loud laugh.

"Hey... what's your name, Che? Your men are utterly useless."

"If you were that weak too."

The giant smirked: "Then I'll take the heads of all you weaklings, and that Imagawa guy's head too!"

Inside the carriage, Uesugi Tetsu's nostrils twitched.

Not a demon...

But, it's a ghost or spirit...

He smelled it—a faint, slightly strange, ghostly scent.

This aura, of course, emanated from Ishikawa Takeshi, who was blocking the way.

—The giant, also known as "Ishikawa Takeshi," had forty-nine Onmyoji from his clan use a secret technique on him before blocking the road, costing a great deal of effort to temporarily elevate him to the realm of demons and gods, and further enhance his defensive capabilities.

The fact that Nichi and Okabe Motonobu were able to break his skin just now was all an act, a result of him relaxing his muscles.

As for "Ishikawa Takeshi"...

It was not the giant's real name, but a pseudonym created using some kind of great Yin-Yang technique.

However, the "Ishikawa family" does exist. It is a small, reclusive clan that has not appeared in the world during this era. Even though Na Che knows divination-related Yin-Yang techniques, he cannot trace it back to him or his family.

The giant stood atop the sticky flesh and blood, his gaze sweeping over the remaining thousand warriors. He stared with a sneer of disdain at the motionless, silent carriage, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

He is certainly not as "arrogant, brainless, and stupid" as he appears to be right now.

On the contrary, this was all a deliberate act by the giant to lure Uesugi Tetsu out of the carriage.

He made the Onmyoji in his clan become extremely tough and resilient, just so he could take a beating from that powerful Onmyoji...

Only by taking the beating can the rest of the plan proceed.

If Che can't get it out, could it be that he has sensed something?
It's only been a few seconds, that's unlikely...

Thinking of this, the giant grinned and swung his hammer, smashing several warriors beside him: "Coward Che, you wouldn't be so scared that your legs trembled and you couldn't stand up if you saw a ghost or god, would you?"

The giant roared, "From now on, for every second I stand here, I will kill ten..."

Before he could finish speaking, the immense power of his mind instantly sent the giant man, who was about to swing his hammer, flying hundreds of meters away, leaving a clear trail of gravel in his wake.

That's it, that's it!

Although he was completely bewildered by the "invisible" Yin-Yang technique, the giant was overjoyed.

Che finally couldn't hold back and made his move!

He roared in his heart:
"Che! Fly over here and beat me up like a punching bag!"

"Lord Yiyuan, there may be lightning outside the carriage later, please do not be alarmed."

Uesugi Tetsu opened his eyes, picked up the Hannya mask that was placed to the side, and before putting it on, he said lightly to Imagawa Yoshimoto,
"I'll be right back."

Imagawa Yoshimoto responded softly without saying anything more. Since Uesugi Tetsuya seemed completely unconcerned, it proved that there was indeed nothing to care about regarding the person blocking his way.

Uesugi Tetsu pushed open the door and stepped down from the carriage, leisurely using the remaining time to make a few more preparations around the carriage.

"Hiding ten miles away, they're very cautious."

The attackers were clever; they knew to disrupt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before revealing themselves, greatly reducing the range of his spirit-controlling technique, and then hiding at a sufficiently far distance.

Ten miles away.

But it's no use.

The All-Seeing Eye swept across the surroundings like a radar, marking all the ambushers who had suppressed their breathing and heartbeats to almost nothing in a single glance.

"Lord Imagawa, I will protect you during the time Lord Uesugi is away."

Inside the carriage, Karuta had already opened the black book and was gently wielding a fountain pen, its ink still faintly tinged with black smoke, onto the yellowed pages.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to have mastered some new uses for the black book.

"Thank you, Miss Karuta..."

Imagawa Yoshimoto responded politely, but secretly wished she could be at the forefront of the army like that two-foot-tall girl.

She then asked Chejun to put the two knives away, and then only the two of them were left in the carriage.

But this song has remained here for a long time...

She glanced at Karuto, whose eyes were full of seriousness and tension.

Well, they're just doing their best to protect their own safety.

Imagawa Yoshimoto closed his eyes and said nothing more.

……

Boom boom boom!
In just a few dozen seconds, Uesugi Tetsuya had already engaged in a fierce "battle" with the giant man several kilometers into the deep mountains.

To be precise, it was the giant who was unilaterally beaten.

The mountain collapsed, flames blazed in mid-air, golden light flashed in the void, and the giant man's arrogant laughter echoed.

"Hahaha! I never expected that the legendary Yin-Yang Master Che, who was skilled in thunder magic, would also be so proficient in the Five Elements Yin-Yang Techniques..."

boom!
The earth dragon that rose from the earth's veins swallowed the giant man whole, with crimson flames burning and exploding inside, only making the giant man look somewhat disheveled.

Uesugi Tetsu, who was deliberately holding back, glanced silently at his panel—[Five Elements Yin Yang Technique - Basic (Proficient)].

Indeed, he is quite proficient, but it is his proficiency in spirit control techniques that allows him to fly the brick with such great force in such a spectacular manner.

Several dozen seconds passed, during which Uesugi Tetsuya used all five of his methods, but even when they were all crowded together, he could only break a few dozen bones in the giant.

The scene was enormous; Uesugi Tetsu even leveled a mountain and drained a lake, his casually unleashed spiritual power creating a kaleidoscope of colors in the sky.

The giant was terrified, fearing that he would be crushed to dust once his temporary supernatural state ended.

The two fought further and further apart.

After being hammered into the ground by earth and rocks once again, the giant silently signaled "start".

Target... Imagawa Yoshimoto!
In less than ten seconds, a dozen dark figures attacked the carriage in the center of the army formation from all directions at an extremely fast speed.

The generals, including Erchi, managed to stop most of the enemy, but the remaining few ignored the warriors and were able to get close to the carriage...

Boom!

Without any warning, the road that was originally bathed in sunlight was covered by thunderclouds, and deep purple-black thunder dragons, each as thick as several buckets, roared and fell down as if they had eyes!

In an instant, all the black shadows that leaped into the air turned into ashes invisible to the naked eye.

At the same time, all the subtle "connections" in the giant's mind were severed, causing his face, which had been wearing a victorious smile, to freeze instantly as he lay embedded in the ground.

Even though they're several kilometers apart, how can they immediately intervene in what's happening over there?!
This works?! Could it be that Che... didn't use his full strength at all, or even saw through his plan and deliberately didn't use lightning magic to put on an act...?

The giant was suddenly terrified and immediately pulled himself out of the ground, his body covered in blood red, trying to escape in a berserk state.

Huhu——

The strong wind swept away the smoke and dust, revealing a figure hovering in mid-air, wearing two swords at his waist and a hannya mask.

In the sky, Uesugi Tetsuya's calm voice traveled with the spiritual energy to a radius of ten kilometers.

"They come, the security."

This sentence means...

Since you're here, let's bury you here!
"This monster!!!"

The giant trampled another thick ancient tree, then fled into the distance with a silent scream.

The preheated Wanling Furnace Core vibrated violently, and a giant, pure black thunder dragon with the color of the Qi Sea surged in the distant sky.

Lei Long poked his head out, his pure black eyes locking onto the giant running through the mountains at several times the speed of sound with a hint of agility.

Then comes annihilation.

There was no resistance, no screams.

The black thunder dragon landed and wiped out the giant man along with half a mountain.

Having accumulated power within the Wanling Furnace Core for a full three minutes, the Thunder Dragon, equivalent to 200% of Uesugi Tetsu's own exaggerated spiritual power, naturally possessed such might. It was only natural that it would eliminate someone who barely surpassed the shame of being a demon god.

"Not a demon, but it doesn't drop Soul Ash or any items... They're so stingy."

Uesugi Tetsu clicked his tongue in displeasure: "It's still more satisfying to slay demons."

Even so, without any hints, Uesugi Tetsu patiently searched for quite a while, confirming that the giant had been completely obliterated before preparing to return.

"Huh? There are other people?"

Uesugi Tetsuya turned his head, sensing a very subtle gaze watching him from afar.

"!"

On a mountaintop thirty miles away from Uesugi Tetsuya's location, the bald young man felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared at by those indifferent eyes, and his forehead was immediately covered in cold sweat.

Without thinking, he instinctively activated the teleportation array he had prepared and teleported thirty miles away.

"Damn it, I actually considered attacking this monster before..."

Then, there were five more thirty-mile stretches.

"Did they run away?"

Uesugi Tetsu, who was about to mark the other party with his All-Seeing Eye, narrowed his eyes and did not chase after him.

It's no longer perceptible, so there's no point in chasing it anymore.

Back in the army, after comforting the dejected Nishiki, Uesugi Tetsuya, who was once again cheered by the crowd, made no comment, only indicating that they could continue forward.

The night passed without incident in Owari Province.

Those who come out are all minor characters who can be dealt with in a matter of two feet.

Fourth day.

Uesugi Tetsu rolled down the car window and looked at the somewhat familiar terrain in the distance.

Okehazama.

This was the opportunity that allowed him to enter the Warring States period instance.

In the original history, Imagawa Yoshimoto also died here, becoming a stepping stone for Oda Nobunaga, the "Sixth Heaven Demon King," to rise to fame.

This time it won't happen.

Uesugi Tetsu waved his hand casually, using his heartstrings to instruct Lord Nisha to continue leading the army forward.

Imagawa Yoshimoto also surveyed the surrounding terrain and asked,
"Che-jun, should we go this way?"

"Easily ambushed, isn't it?"

Imagawa Yoshimoto was slightly taken aback when his thoughts were revealed, and waited for Uesugi Tetsu's next words.

"If there's an ambush, destroy it."

Uesugi Tetsu smiled at her.
"Lord Yiyuan, time is short, we don't need to take any detours."

An hour later, in the afternoon of the fourth day.

The thick, turbulent thunderclouds that had been lurking in the sky were destroyed by the straight, brilliant path of sunlight, which carved out a smooth and prosperous road.

Uesugi Tetsu and Imagawa Yoshimoto looked out the right-hand car window and saw the heavily armed, silent, and menacing black army standing atop the mountain in the distance.

The Oda clan's military flag fluttered in the wind.

With Uesugi Tetsu's eyesight, he could even spot the person looking towards the carriage from the very front and center of the army formation...

A black-haired woman with a conspicuous helmet and a cold, steely expression.

woman?

Oda Nobunaga was actually a woman?
Uesugi Tetsuya was slightly surprised, but did not take action immediately.

Firstly, after Oda Nobunaga combined with the army, he was essentially equivalent to an ordinary demon, possessing formidable strength.

two is……

Oda Nobunaga did not make a move again.

He had already said he would invite people from all over the world to witness the ceremony. Now, if people can't even watch from the sidelines, where has the magnanimity of the Great Onmyoji and the Imagawa family gone?
"Che-kun, is it the Oda clan?"

“It’s Oda Nobunaga,” Uesugi Tetsu said. “She’s watching us.”

"—Che-jun, can I see her with my own eyes and see if she's as amazing as you say?"

"Imagawa Yoshimoto's days are numbered."

Oda Nobunaga and Uesugi Tetsuya stared at each other for a moment, and after failing to meet Imagawa Yoshimoto's gaze, Oda Nobunaga sighed regretfully.

She spoke calmly to her trusted confidants and generals beside her.

"Even if she becomes the ruler of the world, she probably won't live more than a week or two."

What Oda Nobunaga didn't say was that Imagawa Yoshimoto might not even have time to become the ruler of the world after successfully marching on Kyoto.

She didn't care about this empty fame, so she wasn't going to waste a single bit of her energy.

—When Imagawa Yoshimoto first saw Oda Nobunaga, he felt that she would be the future ruler of the land.

After one's death, all people under heaven will be there.

She has always trusted her intuition.

That's why Uesugi Tetsuya is sitting next to her now, and that's why she can become the first ruler of the land in this era of heroes rising up.

So, Imagawa Yoshimoto rolled down the half-open car window completely and began to speak slowly and clearly, word by word.
"The rivers are clear and the seas are peaceful, the times are peaceful and the harvests are plentiful.

The government is in order and the people are in harmony, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

Strict military discipline leads to a prosperous people and a wealthy nation.

She paused, her tone calm and matter-of-fact.

"If you can't even do these things, then what right do you have to be called a person of the world?"

In the Okehazama, the daimyo who was destined to fail in history said this to Uesugi Tetsu.
