Of course, given his speed, he couldn't stop Minagawa Gentetsu, so he could only use the strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" and stab Minagawa Gentetsu in the back to force him to withdraw his sword and defend.
However, the 'Chess Saint' at this time is no longer the same chess saint who was ranked below him before.
"Hey, why would you want to die? Isn't it better to be alive?"
Kitagawa sighed softly, then dodged Minaya Gentetsu's powerful slash with a swift movement. He then delivered a common karate step punch, striking Minaya Gentetsu squarely in the chest, sending him flying with tremendous force.
Fortunately, Fu Zhi reacted quickly and dodged in time; otherwise, Yan Tiezhai, who was sent flying backward, would probably have been pierced through by him.
"I'll give you one more chance. Submit to me, and I can guarantee you'll leave Immortal Island alive and be pardoned by the general. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to execute you."
"."
This time, Min-gaya Gentetsu did not laugh disdainfully. Instead, after his initial shock, he fell into deep thought.
Clearly, Kitagawa Yu's strength had genuinely frightened him.
Chapter 240: Memories Return, a Certain Goddess Girl Prepares to Run Away!
Kitagawa Yu didn't use the Yamada family's most proficient swordsmanship; he simply sent him flying with a single punch. It was truly unbelievable.
However, he still hesitated because he valued his reputation. After all, being the executioner of the Yamada family was something that these ronin samurai found utterly shameful.
Even the other samurai families under the general looked down on the Yamada family.
so.
"I reject!"
Minagawa Gentetsu, clutching his chest, got up and charged at Kitagawa Yu again, holding the broken half of his sword.
Even when he was knocked away, he did not put down his weapon, which actually shows the character of Minagawa Gentetsu.
Seeing this, Kitagawa Yu was somewhat disappointed, but he did not hold back any longer. He directly used Ryujin Jakka to unleash a slash, and the raging flames transformed into a crimson blade aura more than ten meters long, instantly engulfing Minagawa Gentetsu.
The aftershocks of the flames scorched the rocks and gravel on the ground into lava, a sight that once again surprised Fu Zhi.
"What are you-"
"Want to learn? I'll teach you when I become the head of the family~"
"Uh"
"You don't know yet, do you? Lord Wei Shan died at the hands of the giant Lu Langtai as soon as he arrived on the island. Of course, I have already avenged Lord Wei Shan and killed Lu Langtai."
"???"
Fu Zhi was shocked once again.
Wei Shan, the Yamada family's acknowledged successor to the headship, was killed by the prisoner he was guarding as soon as he arrived on the island.
This is so bad!
"Let's go. This mission is over. Let's meet up with Zoche and the others, and then we can leave this place."
"Ok."
Fu Zhi did not refuse.
Although he thought highly of Minaya Gentetsu, Kitagawa Yu was his clansman, and besides, Minaya Gentetsu was already dead.
This time, they no longer needed to worry about poisonous insects and monsters along the way, so the group moved quickly and arrived at the agreed meeting point in just half a day.
Without Zhu Jin's hunting, Zuoqie and his two companions successfully found Shiyuan, Dianzuo, and Ruhai, a prisoner under Dianzuo's supervision, who were still alive.
"Great, you're back!"
When Sakiri saw Kitagawa Yu return safely, he breathed a long sigh of relief, got up and walked towards him, but then suddenly didn't know what to say next, so he lowered his head shyly.
"Yes, the elixir of immortality has been found, the mission is complete, and we can go back now." Kitagawa Yu smiled and patted her head.
This made Sorcerer blush again.
Those present, including the head cook, couldn't help but show strange expressions upon seeing this scene.
"When did this Go master get together with that girl, Sakiri? She's the designated wife of the head of the family!"
"Fool, Lord Wei Shan is dead. The Chess Saint was able to venture deep into the island alone, defeat the Celestial Immortal, and find the elixir of immortality. Who could possibly surpass him with such strength?"
"Well, that's true. Then Master, what should we do about Ruhai? Ruhai is innocent; she shouldn't have been executed as a criminal."
"this."
Faced with the steward's question, Shi Yuan frowned and fell into deep thought.
That's right. Although Shi Yuan and Dian Zuo belong to the same rank, and there is only a difference of six places between them, Shi Yuan is actually Dian Zuo's master.
At first, the headmaster was just a homeless child. He was discovered by Shion during a fight with other thugs. Shion recognized his martial arts talent and brought him into the Yamada family.
Although the steward is usually a bit carefree, he is actually a very chivalrous guy.
If Zuoqie and the others hadn't found him beforehand, he would have secretly taken Ruhai away from Shenxian Island by boat and released Ruhai.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Shi Yuan also seemed unable to come up with a solution, the somewhat impatient Dian Zuo simply went directly to Bei Chuan and explained that he wanted Ru Hai to obtain the only pardon certificate.
Kitagawa Yu's answer was naturally no.
"Even if I agree, I doubt Senta and Genji would agree, right?"
Kitagawa Yu smiled and turned to look at Senta and Genji.
Senta adjusted his glasses, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his chubby, round face, but he still nodded.
As for Genji, who looked serious but was actually a well-known lecher, he didn't have so many reservations and nodded vigorously with his arms crossed.
Even if it were a democratic vote, with the votes of Kitagawa Yu, Senta, and Genji, Gang would definitely win against Ruhai.
"Hey, Lord Dianzuo, no need to bother. Let me die. I deserve to die anyway, since I caused the death of the whole village." Ruhai said nonchalantly upon seeing this.
Her experience was actually quite tragic.
The so-called 'mountain people' were actually ordinary people who did not belong to the shogunate, but did not rob and plunder like mountain bandits.
They simply retreated to live in the deep mountains.
On one occasion, Ruhai, out of kindness, rescued a group of wounded wandering samurai. As a result, after the wandering samurai recovered from their injuries, they led the government officials to their hiding place.
She was the only one left alive in the entire village after the government's massacre.
However, because she refused to submit to the shogunate, she was still sentenced to death.
So it's not unreasonable for the steward to take pity on her and secretly release her.
“I can’t give you a pardon, but I can release you,” Kitagawa Yu said with a smile.
"what?!"
Zuoqie and the others were stunned upon hearing this.
Fu Zhi frowned and said, "If the general finds out that you have violated the rules by releasing prisoners without authorization, it will implicate your entire family!"
However, Kitagawa Yu seemed unconcerned, smiling as he said, "Don't worry, the general won't find out."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, sensing that Kitagawa Yu was about to do something extraordinary.
But after glancing at Zhu Jin and the others beside them, they ultimately decided not to ask.
In fact, Kitagawa Yu is indeed about to make a big move.
He planned to take advantage of the opportunity to present the elixir of immortality upon his return, poison the general, and use the poison he had developed to control him.
Then, by leveraging the general's influence, they would first take control of the Yamada family, then expand step by step, and quickly replace them.
Although this world's Japan still has ninja forces like the 'Ishigakure', with Ren and Zhu Jin and others, even without him taking action, it's enough to sweep across the entire Japan.
In fact, if Ren hadn't chosen to commit suicide because she couldn't revive Xu Fu, she alone would have been strong enough to wipe out the main characters and then slaughter the entire Japanese.
After another hour of adjustments, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, hundreds of gatekeepers, each over ten meters tall and possessing rudimentary intelligence, arrived at the agreed-upon meeting point with Lian, carrying various packed supplies.
"hiss--"
"So many monsters?!"
Zorche and the others couldn't help but gasp, quickly gripping their sword hilts and standing up.
Even though Kitagawa Yu had warned them beforehand, they were still deeply shocked to witness such a 'giant army' in person.
At this moment, they realized once again how terrifying the crisis would have been if Kitagawa Yu hadn't defeated and subdued the celestial being on the island first, and if they had continued to delve deeper without knowing the inside story.
Without a doubt, it was Kitagawa Yu who saved them.
"Don't be nervous, I've already subdued them," Kitagawa Yu said again, a satisfied smile on his face.
He had indeed been a little worried that Lian might escape with Xu Fu's body and the research results of the past few years.
In addition to the Kitchen God and Door God who can move on land, she also bred a giant sea monster that is 300 meters long, modeled after an octopus.
So if she were to sneak away, Kitagawa Yu might not be able to find her, given the vast ocean.
In fact, Ren's strength posed no threat to him, and she only wanted to revive Xu Fu and then find a place to live in seclusion with him. She would not become his enemy, so if Ren chose to run away, Kitagawa Yu had no intention of chasing her.
However, Lian was more committed to her promises than he had imagined.
"However, if that old fellow Xu Fu were to be resurrected, things might be different."
Regardless of which world Xu Fu is from, he is always portrayed as a conman who tricked the First Emperor, so he doesn't really like Xu Fu.
"However, according to the original plot, even if the main characters don't stop her, Lian's plan to revive Xu Fu will ultimately fail. So I don't need to worry too much about that. As long as we make the most of Lian's strength before Xu Fu's revival fails and Lian chooses to commit suicide to reunite with Xu Fu, that's fine."
Kitagawa Yu thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Sachi and the others were also secretly observing Kitagawa Yu, their minds churning with thoughts.
It's one thing for Kitagawa Yu to subdue these few powerful ancient Qi cultivators who possess the art of immortality, but now he's taking hundreds of powerful gatekeepers back with him. What exactly is he trying to do?
In a one-on-one fight, it wouldn't be difficult for sword masters like them to kill the gatekeeper. But when their numbers reach several hundred and they form an army, the effect is completely different.
Even if the Yamada family concentrated all their strength, they would only face total annihilation against such a formidable army of gatekeepers.
Furthermore, they also considered the possibility that Lian, Zhu Jin, and the others could continue to create door gods after arriving in Japan.
These door gods don't need to eat or drink on a daily basis; they can simply bask in the sun like plants. There's no need to worry about not being able to afford to raise them.
So as long as they are given time and have enough people to modify the original body, Lian and Zhu Jin can continue to create more door gods.
With such a terrifying army under his command, Kitagawa Yu is fully capable of waging war against the Shogunate!
