Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

Uesugi Kiyoshi even watched as tiny cracks appeared in the void not far away, like the legendary spatial rifts.

This dream world has lost its master and is on the verge of collapse.

Chapter 141 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

"The demon soul of Shuten-dōji has been successfully captured."

"Divine essence being extracted and stored"

"Extraction successful. Attempting to construct the [Altar]."

"Insufficient divinity, a failed construction."

Several inexplicable streams of consciousness emanated from the Scroll of One Hundred Demons, but Uesugi Kiyoshi had no time to pay attention to them.

Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed down the mountain and soon saw Li Fuyao standing calmly, showing no sign of panic.

"You're back~"

She said those words calmly, just like a busy housewife welcoming her hardworking husband home after a long day.

Infected by Li Fuyao's smile, Uesugi Kiyoshi's somewhat impatient mood calmed down considerably.

He gave a forced smile and replied, "I won."

"But this place looks like it's about to collapse, how are we going to get out?"

He subconsciously felt that Li Fuyao would have a solution. After getting to know this girl, she seemed to have a way to solve any problem, like a prophet who could foresee the future.

Li Fuyao gestured with her lip, indicating the foot of the mountain.

“Akutagawa-san has a way to get us out of the dream world. The Collectors Association’s Dreamweaver is very famous. Breaking into this dream world without an owner is a piece of cake.”

"Let's go down and meet up with Akutagawa-san."

As she spoke, Li Fuyao tried to turn around and go down the mountain, but the earth shook violently, and she seemed to be exhausted from using too much ghost fire. She stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Uesugi Kiyoshi reacted quickly and stepped forward to support her.

"."

"excuse me."

Before Uesugi Kiyoshi could offer any further explanation, a fleeting look of hesitation crossed his face. He then pulled Li Fuyao into his arms and, in a classic princess carry, carried her swiftly down the mountain.

Li Fuyao showed no sign of being offended; on the contrary, her smile became even brighter.

She grabbed Uesugi Kiyoshi's collar, squinted her eyes, as if she were about to fall asleep amidst the turbulence.

This left Ye San, who had dealt with the obstacle and was following closely behind Li Fuyao, ready to support Uesugi Kiyoshi at any moment, speechless.

Miss Li, who has practiced martial arts and qi cultivation since childhood, is hardly so delicate.

That kind of will-o'-the-wisp is an innate ability of Li Fuyao. Even if she uses it all up, it will only cause mental fatigue, and her body will not be affected in the slightest.

Girls these days...

Gee tut.

Ye San's expression was complicated, but he didn't stop walking, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Although it is unknown what method Uesugi Kiyoshi used, Shuten-dōji must have indeed lost.

Now, as long as we leave here, tonight's battle can come to an end.

Dajiangshan, at the foot of the mountain.

While locked in battle with Ryunosuke Akutagawa and surrounded by the Rashomon Beasts, Ibaraki-dōji saw this strange phenomenon and his body trembled violently, his expression freezing in shock.

"impossible!"

"Shuten-dōji is dead?!"

He roared in disbelief, his face changing several times in an instant. Then, gritting his teeth, he slammed his last remaining ghostly hand into the ground.

A Rashomon-like structure rose up in response and appeared behind him.

"Rashomon opens, souls return to purgatory!"

Ibaraki-dōji murmured something with some reluctance, and the ancient Rashomon gate moved accordingly. The gate opened wide in an instant, and countless hellfires surged up, adding fuel to the fire of this apocalyptic scene.

He gave Akutagawa Ryunosuke a deep look, then turned to look at the summit of Mount Ōe. For some reason, there was little sadness or anger on his face. He retreated and disappeared into the Gates of Hell.

The gate then closed, and Rashomon gradually disappeared.

The demon king of Mount Oe, Ibaraki, who was known for his bravery, actually retreated.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa also breathed a sigh of relief.

DedeCMS possesses the technology to locate the Dream World, and naturally, it also has ways to bring them out.

I casually adjusted the channel on my headset; this technological marvel from the Collectors Association could actually be used even in a dream.

"Operation successful, containment failed, Shuten-dōji has been annihilated by [Onikiri]."

Although he found it hard to believe, Ryunosuke Akutagawa said it anyway.

"The Dreamweaver Network is preparing to [Return to Dream] to guide us back."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw several familiar figures approaching from a distance.

The gloom on Ryunosuke Akutagawa's face vanished completely; in his view, tonight's operation was a great success.

The greatest threat is the collapse of the dream world of Shuten-dōji, the lord of the Oni clan. Without a king, the Oni clan is no longer a threat. Ibaraki-dōji fled in disarray. Although he was not eliminated, his power will be greatly reduced, while his Rashomon power will increase accordingly.

Just as he was about to greet the returning heroes with a smile, his expression changed, and he looked towards the horizon as if sensing something.

There, a crack appeared in the sky.

It was as if a curtain on a stage had been cut open by sharp scissors, allowing countless incongruous green lights to pour in.

Half the sky was dyed green.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa had good eyesight; he saw a figure in the hazy green light.

Some of the figures looked familiar.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Dong Wenyu, who was slumped in a corner with his head hanging low, had a strange and eerie smile on his face.

He slowly closed his eyes, and a corner of an ancient book was visible through the hem of his kimono.

Several Chinese characters are faintly written on it: "Zhenguan Zhengyao".

This book records the dialogues between Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and his several prime ministers. It is a book of good strategies for governing the country. The book was introduced to Japan during the Warring States period and is said to be the book that Tokugawa Ieyasu liked and valued the most.

Now, the ancient book shines brightly, and countless green rays spread out from it, seeping into Dong Wenyu's body.

He had lost an arm, but his face was filled with the joy and ecstasy of a great success.

He entered Shuten-dōji's dream world, a world on the verge of collapse.

Suspended in mid-air, Dong Wenyu marveled at the apocalyptic scene above and below.

"This brat actually managed to slay the Demon King with his sword? Big brother is really something, managing to find such a powerful figure to assist Maki."

"I had a backup plan, but it seems I won't need it."

"But even if you can do that, what's the point?"

"The souls of ghosts and gods are too much for those extraordinary beings to digest. Even the little devils of the Collectors Association can only take them back and contain them."

"I linked with the spirit of Tokugawa Ieyasu, had Princess Yangming perform a blood sacrifice to summon the true form of Tosho no Shinjun, all for this moment!"

"They devoured the Ghost King's soul, and then sacrificed the flesh and blood of mortals."

"Enough to summon the Divine Lord Tosho to descend to the mortal realm!"

"After the fall of the shogunate, the faith of Tosho Shinkun was shattered, his divine consciousness disintegrated, leaving only his immense divine power and divine body, which were essentially ownerless!"

"Having been linked to the spirit of Tokugawa Ieyasu, I am qualified to enter the Toshogu Shrine!"

"The Tobunkai, Shuten-dōji of Mt. Ōe, and the Toshō-gū."

"They are all just stepping stones for me, part of my path to godhood!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Dong Wenyu laughed wildly and unrestrainedly. He raised his hands high, his divine sense flashing. A moment later, his laughter stopped abruptly as if he had been choked.

A look of shock and anger uncontrollably appeared on his face.

"impossible!"

"Where did Shuten-dōji's soul go?!"

Chapter 142 The Oriole Blocks the Way

In the view of many extraordinary individuals, the human soul is the source that drives their consciousness, thought, and existence.

Especially after the existence of the "Dream World" as a space of consciousness was proven to be real, the truly knowledgeable among the extraordinary, those mad scientists, conducted in-depth research on the "soul".

Many extraordinary artifacts created by those who possess true knowledge are called "Soul Vessels," and for this reason, activating them requires a powerful and resilient soul and an unwavering will.

For ghosts and spirits, their souls are far stronger than those of mortals; their souls are called "divine souls" and are the source of their extraordinary power.

The reason why ghosts and gods often fight each other is that they prey on each other's souls, which is the food for them to become stronger.

Dong Wenyu is the linker. He is very good at hiding it. Over the years, even his trusted subordinate Suzuki Hidema did not know that he had once obtained a copy of "Zhenguan Zhengyao" and connected with the spirit of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

If the faith in Tosho no Shinjun had not completely collapsed, then as Tokugawa Ieyasu's link, Tobuyu would probably only have one path left: to become a puppet of Tosho no Shinjun.

He was lucky. The will of the gods at the current Toshogu Shrine has dissipated, leaving behind only a rich legacy. As Tokugawa Ieyasu's linker, he possesses the key to unlock this treasure.

Everything Dong Wenyu did was to steal the divine power of Dongzhao Shenjun and become a "god" from a "human".

To others, this is wishful thinking, but to him, it is not impossible.

By contacting Toshogu Shrine and gaining the support of its priests and shrine maidens under the guise of a believer, and knowing that Toshogu Shrine was currently without a leader, Dong Wenyu and Toshogu Shrine hit it off immediately. Under the pretext of reviving the great power of Toshogu Shrine, Dong Wenyu gained the shrine's loyalty.

He colluded with the demons of Mount Ooe, used the power of the demons to seize his elder brother's Tobun-kai, and then, when the two sides fought, he profited by offering the soul of the demon king Shuten-dōji to Toshō-no-Kami, allowing his true form to descend from the dream into the mortal world.

Finally, by leveraging his status as Tokugawa Ieyasu's linker, he gradually inherited the power of Tosho Shinkun. Ultimately, using the vast Yakuza of the Tobunkai as a center, he radiated the faith of Tosho Shinkun, slowly replacing the statue of Tosho Shinkun with "Tobunyu".

You're really wronging Dongwen Zhilang by calling him a fool. His plan was quite shrewd and had no major flaws.
