Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

Just then, a somewhat arrogant baritone voice faintly appeared in Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind.

"Hey, Uesugi, you promised me that if there was a chance, you'd let me out for some fresh air."

"I smell a familiar scent. Could it be one of those humanoid weapons under Minamoto no Yorimitsu's command?"

"How about I handle this? You said you had a solution."

"Whether it's Onikiri or Oni-hei, they were both forged from the flesh and blood of the demons of Mount Ooe. Even if I lose to you, I am still the Demon King of Mount Ooe. I can't let such things flaunt their power in front of me!!"

This is the demon king Shuten, who has been residing in Uesugi Seimei's mirror.

"He actually contacted me on his own initiative?"

"."

"And he'd even volunteer to fight for me? That doesn't seem like something he'd do."

"strangeness."

His mind raced with thoughts, but Uesugi Kiyoshi had no intention of breaking his promise.

He promised that he would not let others down.

So, he slowly sheathed his sword, and Uesugi Kiyoshi slightly raised his head, gesturing to the Inugami behind him.

“This is a genuine divine body, absolutely capable of housing your soul. I don’t mind lending it to you.”

"But you need to hurry up, otherwise I can't keep up."

"You want me to possess a dog's body?" Shuten-dōji's voice was filled with obvious dissatisfaction.

Uesugi Kiyoshi, however, did not indulge his idea.

"First of all, this is not a dog, it's a dog god, a dog god who has saved me countless times!"

"Secondly, I'm not negotiating with you. You can come or not, it's up to you. I can still smash that turtle shell without you, do you believe me?"

After a moment of silence, Oni-Tongu-Douji sighed deeply.

"Okay, okay. Let's leave it at that then."

"Release me. My name and portrait are engraved in your Hundred Demons Scroll. You should be able to control my soul."

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't speak, but simply gestured with his hand.

Suddenly, a demonic wind arose from all around, and a crimson smoke detached from his body and rushed into the dog god's body behind him without any hesitation.

Watching the Demon Soldiers' every move warily, Uesugi Kiyoshi stepped aside, making way for them.

After the dog god's divine body merged with the crimson divine soul, it underwent a violent transformation, like a chemical reaction. Blackish-gray and red smoke filled the air, accompanied by crackling sounds. However, the smoke and dust dissipated not long afterward.

The gourd with its gaping maw at the bottom was the first to emerge, slamming heavily into the left chest of the Ghost Soldier, crushing a piece of the Ghost character emblem and the Genji Dragon Gallantry family crest on it.

Then, rhythmic footsteps began.

A burly man with red hair and a bare upper body slowly walked out. He was surrounded by ghostly energy, and every move he made seemed to be followed by vengeful spirits. His face was cold and his eyes were filled with icy killing intent.

"As expected of the Oni Heroes, this armor was created to counter Onikiri."

"Ha, back then, in order to forge Onikiri and Oni-bō, that bastard Minamoto no Yorimitsu slaughtered countless demons."

"Now, let me repay part of it first!"

Chapter 188 Armor +1

Uesugi Qing took a few steps back, not paying much attention to Shuten-dōji stealing his opponent.

Rather, he was quite interested in the feud between Shuten-dōji and Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even though his relationship with Shuten-dōji was tense, at least they could use each other.

It should be noted that, judging from that diary alone, the owner of the Hyakki Emaki (Scroll of One Hundred Demons) and Minamoto no Yorimitsu were sworn enemies. Therefore, the main branch of the Minamoto clan probably wouldn't have shown him any affection.

Especially when his "Hundred Demons Scroll" can no longer be kept secret in the future.

Now, the only person he is certain of knowing about the existence of his Hundred Ghosts Scroll is Li Fuyao.

But who can say for sure what will happen later?

Seeing this, Kudo Yuichi sneaked over, gestured towards the crowd with his chin, and asked excitedly, "Hey, what's going on here?"

“Akutagawa told me that the Demon King of Mount Oe was killed by your sword, and his soul was destroyed. Even the Dream Mirror Space collapsed. He bragged to me about it for a full three minutes. I was so tired of hearing it.”

"Now it seems like he was talking nonsense."

Uesugi Kiyoshi rolled his eyes and explained, "Demons and spirits aren't so easily killed, isn't that what you told me?"

"The reasons are complicated and I can't explain them clearly. In short, I sealed the Demon King of Mount Ooe in my dream and he coexists with me in a strange way."

"I couldn't kill him, and he couldn't do anything to me either, so we talked calmly and reached some agreements, agreeing not to fight to the death for the time being."

Kudo Yuichi nodded knowingly.

"Did your master teach you this too? It sounds like the methods of an Onmyoji. Isn't that the same as using shikigami?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression changed, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

He was awakened by Kudo Yu's words.

Yes

This sounds like the methods of an Onmyoji (a Japanese sorcerer).

Now, isn't Shuten-dōji like a shikigami to him?

Could it be the demons and monsters depicted in that scroll of a hundred ghosts?

He thought for a moment, then shook his head.

“My master didn’t teach me these things; these are my methods.”

Kudo Yuichi smiled knowingly, nodded slightly, and neither pressed the matter further nor spoke again.

Instead, Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and said, "I'll be right back, you better hide."

Before the words were even finished, the figure had already rushed out and quickly disappeared into the rain.

Kudo Yuichi shrugged, showing no surprise, and watched with great interest as Shuten-dōji, who was attached to the body of a god, laughed wildly as he approached Oni-bōbu, and the two clashed violently.

About half a minute later, Uesugi Kiyoshi returned.

He was carrying the body of a small, masked man, and he roughly threw it in front of Kudo Yuichi.

"This is the sniper. You said you wanted to lead this assassination attempt on the Yamamoto family. I didn't think that far ahead and didn't hold back. This one is alive."

"I think this might be helpful to you."

Kudo Yuichi kicked the man a few times, and seeing that he didn't react, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Ah, actually, it's unnecessary. I've recorded their calls, and I've prepared plenty of dirt on the Yamamoto family. I've also arranged forged evidence. He has no choice but to accept this blame."

"However, having someone alive does make things much easier."

"Thanks, it's rare for a violent maniac like you to show mercy."

Uesugi Kiyotaka raised an eyebrow, narrowed his eyes, and subconsciously began to refute.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Don't spread rumors. I've always been kind-hearted and treat people with goodwill. I'm a reasonable person. What violent maniac? That's pure slander. If I hear it again, I'll chop you up."

Kudo Yuichi knew that Uesugi Kiyoshi was just joking around. He sighed, glanced at the scattered limbs and broken bodies on the ground opposite him, and had nothing to say.

While the two were chatting, the battle situation on the field had already turned one-sided.

The Onikiri in the hands of the demon soldier, who was actually Haruya, was tightly bitten by the huge mouth of Shuten-dōji's demon gourd and could not be broken free. Meanwhile, the demon king of Mount Ōe unceremoniously knocked the mecha-like armored monster to the ground with a knee strike, pressed down on his other arm with his knee, and then punched him in the face with both hands.

The banging sounds were like the deafening roar of gongs and drums, and the tragic scene resembled a drunken brawl, causing Uesugi Kiyoshi to frown deeply.

He can understand, but he finds it hard to accept.

Shuten-dōji's dream - Mount Ōe collapsed, which must have affected his strength. The "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" that once caused him great trouble should be unusable. Now he should rely on the demon gourd and the powerful physique of the demon race.

As for martial arts, they're all pretty much the same. Some seemingly legitimate moves aren't necessarily as effective as eye-gouging, knee strikes, or groin strikes.

At least in Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes, the aura of the Oni Heroes was indeed gradually weakening with each punch from Shuten-dōji.

The process was just a bit too simple and unadorned.

This is not much different from a gang fight. Uesugi Kiyoshi once watched two groups of delinquents fight together with Higashi Maki. This kind of tactic is commonplace.

He frowned and looked at it for a while, then felt relieved.

A ghost king is a ghost king; even when he is nearing the end of his rope, he is still a ghost king.

If he hadn't drunk that poisoned wine, Uesugi Kiyoshi probably wouldn't have been able to win so easily.

The formidable Ghost Army was utterly defeated by him, with no chance of retaliating whatsoever.

"Hey, Shuten-dōji, I told you, hurry up! Maintaining this body is taking too much to handle!"

Shuten-dōji seemed to be in high spirits, wanting to vent all the frustration he had been holding in for the past few days, which is why he used such a brutal and direct method.

Hearing Uesugi Kiyoshi urging him on, he spat out in resentment, and with a vicious punch, he smashed the Oni Hero's mask. He reached inside and pulled out a cloud of gray mist, opened his mouth slightly, and swallowed it like a whale sucking in water.

Then, he let out a long sigh of relief, his expression somewhat relaxed. He pointed, and the ghost gourd, receiving the command, let out a strange, cackling laugh and took a big bite out of the ghost soldier's armor.

From top to bottom, in just a few seconds, the lively and powerful Ghost Soldier Corps had been devoured alive by the Ghost King of Mount Ooe.

Uesugi Kiyoshi clicked his tongue, moved his lips slightly, but still didn't say anything.

Yuan Qing is also an enemy, and he will not sympathize with an enemy no matter how tragically they die.

Instead, Kudo Yuichi looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with some surprise and said loudly, "Aren't you going to stop him?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi asked in confusion, "Huh? You want this one alive too? What use is it to you?"

Kudo Yuichi shook his head helplessly and sighed, "My young master Uesugi, that set of equipment is the real deal, the Demon Soldier's set. It has never been circulated outside the world. Every piece is a treasure of the Genji clan. If you could get one and wear it, and combine it with Onikiri, you would be able to attack and defend at the same time. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that your strength would increase by more than double, right?"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi's cheek twitched violently. He took a few steps forward and shouted, "Stop!"

But all he saw was a gourd with its mouth moving like it was chewing snacks and a pile of black residue on the ground.

"I say, Demon King, how have you managed to maintain Mount Ooe for so many years with such extravagance?"

"I heard that during the Heian period you were able to block the rampant demons at the gates of Heian-kyo. Is this how you treat your spoils of war?"

Shuten-dōji stretched and stretched his arms with great pleasure. He glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi and, perhaps in a good mood, explained, "Don't overthink it. Minamoto no Yorimitsu forged the Oni-bō using the Minamoto clan's incantations."
