Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

In particular, the descent of external gods makes the faith of one's own "tribe" even more indispensable.
The woman, gritting her teeth, glared hatefully at Uesugi Kiyoshi, and silently roared as a beam of purple light shot towards Uesugi Kiyoshi's head.
A swift, instinctive draw of the sword, a flash of light that vanished in an instant.
The purple snake carcass was split in two and slid to the ground.
"A tired old trick."
As he muttered something casually, Uesugi Kiyoshi saw Mirin turn and enter the water, her body twisting nimbly like a water snake, swimming fearlessly towards the hydra statue in the center of the reservoir.
He didn't stop him, but walked a few steps to the edge of the reservoir and sniffed it.
A stench wafted into his nostrils, giving him a familiar feeling.
"Hmm, there's something wrong with this water."
"It smells a bit like the rainwater outside—could this be the source of that rain?"
"The diluted rainwater infused with Hydra's divine power is, in a sense, indeed a catalyst for the occultists."
"So, that reptile statue was probably their object of worship."
After muttering a few words to himself, Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his head with some excitement.
It seems to be going smoothly. Faced with an insurmountable opponent, as believers in God, the only thing they can think of is to ask for God's help.
Once Hydra's dreamscape dares to connect to this place, it will be like a beacon in the darkness, impossible to hide from.
Meilin was quite quick on her feet. When someone broke in, she tried to contact Yamamoto Yu, but of course, she failed.
She knew in her heart that this time, no one could help her.
Now, there is only one trump card left—to pray to the gods and have divine power descend upon him. With divine power, he might be able to suppress that young swordsman against mortals.
That's what she thought.
Before long, the writhing woman's body had already clung to the base of the giant hydra statue in the center of the reservoir.
She just knelt there, her head touching the ground, making muffled, unintelligible sounds.
Before long, a visible purple light gradually shone from the serpent eyes of the hydra statue. Correspondingly, the woman's face grew older and older, and even her hair turned gray.
"Sacrificing lives? That's ruthless."
After slightly adjusting the channel on his headset, Uesugi Kiyoshi asked in a low voice, "DedeCMS, time to get to work."
"If nothing unexpected happens, she is praying for [Hydra]."
"Locate me, then tear open an opening and send me in."
"Can it be done?"
A deep male voice gave him an affirmative answer.
"Uesugi-kun, please rest assured, I designed the DedeCMS program myself. It took me five years of hard work, and I will definitely not let you down."
Professor Edward was full of confidence.
"Locate the source of the extraordinary power fluctuations!"
"Construct a dream mirror model! Locate the coordinates of the starry sea!"
"checking"
"Positioning successful!"
"Adjust the dream entry frequency—Uesugi! Okay, that woman is useless now. Give me two minutes, and I'll send you in right away!"
Uesugi nodded, and without hesitation stepped onto the water, his figure flashing as he appeared behind Mirin in the blink of an eye.
With a swift stroke, the woman's head rolled into the water, her eyes wide with shock and anger as she stared at him, her mouth opening and closing, but unable to utter a word.
Uesugi Kiyoshi grinned, his expression somewhat ferocious.
"Don't look at me like that"
"You're useless now, here you go!"
Chapter 227 Dreaming
The largest reservoir in Tokyo’s underground drainage system is said to be able to withstand the rainfall of typhoons and torrential rains, and can naturally hold an extremely large volume of water.
This reservoir is over twenty meters deep, and its height is comparable to that of an ordinary residential building.
But right in the middle of the reservoir stands a statue of a nine-headed hydra.
Uesugi Kiyoshi stood on the base of the statue, tilted his head, glanced at the underwater area, and frowned.
The statue is not built on a "pillar," but rises from the bottom of the water.
No, that's not quite right. There is indeed a vessel beneath the base of this statue that supports it.
However, in Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes, something was wrong with this "vessel".
It was pitch black, yet alive, like wriggling, giant, ink-black octopus tentacles. The statue on it, however, remained stable, without swaying in the slightest.
Uesugi Kiyoshi stepped on this "living thing".
"."
"What is this? Is it alive?"
"This color is dangerous; it smells so fishy and foul when soaked in water."
"It looks a bit like the source of the poison. Is this thing connected to this statue?"
Thinking of this, his eyes turned dangerous.
He sheathed his sword and slightly raised his hand.
The ghostly hand behind him suddenly solidified considerably. With a thought, the enormous ghostly hand slammed down from the sky, crashing unstoppably onto the hydra statue.
Contrary to expectations, the statue was not indestructible. It was like a defective product made with shoddy workmanship. It creaked when it encountered the mirage, and when the ghostly hand slapped it, it immediately disintegrated, with fragments falling like rain and scattering in the reservoir.
At the same time, the dark tentacles underground trembled violently, the water surface seemed to boil, and the whole room shook violently.
Uesugi Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes, gathered mirage energy under his feet, and walked on water, quickly retreating back to the shore in a few steps.
Then he saw the water in the reservoir gradually become more turbid, and an unmistakable fishy stench spread out—this tentacle-like thing was obviously no good, as if it were soaked in deadly poison.
"We need to contact the association to clean these things up. Professor Edward would probably be interested in them, right?"
At the same time, the room's several iron doors were broken open almost simultaneously.
They had split up earlier, but Uesugi Kiyoshi called them back to his side. The gang and the Blue Robe Clan entered in single file and began to kill without saying a word.
As the Hydra statue collapsed, the fish-men suddenly became like they had taken drugs, their eyes turning blood red and their aggression increasing dramatically. Some even became fearless, attacking Izumi Rin and Liu Longren with only their upper bodies remaining.
With the addition of fresh troops, the fishmen's counterattack was quickly suppressed.
The situation gradually stabilized, and Izumi Rin was still having a great time fighting with the fishmen. Judging from her expression, she seemed to regard it as a form of recreational activity.
Liu Longren, however, sheathed his sword early and stood silently behind Uesugi Kiyoshi.
He had a vague feeling that this matter wouldn't end so easily.
Especially after Uesugi Kiyoshi slapped the eerie-looking statue to pieces, a faint sense of crisis gradually lingered in Liu Longren's mind—this was his instinctive feeling as a swordsman, which had saved his life countless times and would not be wrong.
The real "big boss" is probably about to appear.
After several seconds of silence, Edward let out a long sigh through their earpieces.
"Uesugi-kun, location tracking successful."
"However, this coordinate is very strange. I have never seen the Outer God's Dream Mirror before. There may be all sorts of unexpected situations, and the degree of danger is difficult to determine."
"You make the choice."
Uesugi Kiyotaka raised an eyebrow slightly, his hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, a strange smile curved at the corners of his mouth, and an excited flame gradually ignited in his eyes.
He felt no fear, and even a sense of anticipation.
For some reason, he often enters this state before battle, as if he is a seasoned veteran of the battlefield and treats every battle as a hard-won game.
"Stop talking nonsense, time is limited. After this is over, I still need to check on Yuichi—tear open the opening! Let me in!"
Professor Edward was also a very efficient worker.
"It's no big deal—do you want to go by yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the person behind him.
Kamiizumi Rin's abilities are not very useful in the dream world. What she possesses is extreme "power" and swordsmanship passed down from the Shinkage-ryu school. This kind of purely "physical" means is easily countered.
Although Maki Azuma's strength improved after becoming a Linker, she hadn't experienced many battles, so suddenly facing a god was still somewhat difficult for her.
The same applies to Qinglian. Compared to her, Uesugi Kiyoshi even felt that Higashifumi Maki was stronger, after all, she carried the soul of the Demon Sword Princess. If the demon soul awakened, her strength might increase dramatically, and she might become a demon king-like being.
Before he could make up his mind, he saw Liu Longren suddenly raise his eyes and say expressionlessly, "I'll go help you."
"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite familiar with fighting in dreams."
Uesugi Kiyoshi had not known Liu Longren for long, and his understanding of him was limited to "a ruthless and cunning young master of the Yakuza" and "the soul of Yukidouji".
However, based on our interactions over this period, this person is indeed a good choice as a friend. He is very loyal, and although he speaks frankly, he always gets to the point and never does anything without a purpose.
Uesugi Kiyoshi was somewhat puzzled when he heard him suddenly volunteer for the battle.
He was actually prepared to go alone. They weren't that close, and it wasn't worth dragging someone down with him for something so dangerous.
But looking into that serious gaze, Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't bring himself to ask "why."
But Liu Longren seemed to sense his doubt and said softly, "I am slightly interested in this thing—I have heard of the name Outer God, but I have never seen it. I would like to learn more about it."
"and"
"It might sound strange, but I always felt it would be dangerous for you to go alone, and I didn't want to see you die."
"that's it."
Uesugi Kiyoshi pondered, silently repeating the words "dangerous," then lowered his eyes. A few seconds later, he looked up and nodded.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then."
"Maki, after we sink into the dream world, our bodies are basically defenseless, so I'm entrusting our safety to you."
