Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

A feeling of difficulty breathing surged into his brain. Uesugi Kiyoshi felt his heart beating faster and faster, and the rush of hot blood in his body was about to overwhelm his nerves.

"Xing went out without any attendants?"

His voice sounded calm, but it was like the stillness before a volcanic eruption, making people tremble with fear.

Fengmo dared not raise his head and quickly replied, "Someone was with you, sir, but those followers all drowned."

"That shrine is very eerie. It's located by the water, and when Lady Anzu and her entourage's bodies were pulled from the water, they were already decomposed, as if they had been buried in the ground for months."

"By the time I gathered people to go and check, the shrine had disappeared."

"There's probably a monster causing trouble here!"

"I'm sorry, sir! It was my negligence and dereliction of duty! Please punish me!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi completely ignored all of this, including Fuma's apology.

"roll!"

With a roar, Feng Mo hastily retreated, as if granted a pardon.

Fuma knew how much "Apricot" meant to Uesugi Kiyoshi. Back then, this killer had casually killed the son of the lord of the country for that little girl. This incident was like adding insult to injury when he was already suffering heavy losses in Kanto. It was already a testament to his strong will that he hadn't gone mad.

"."

"Achai."

"apricot"

Muttering incoherent words, Uesugi Kiyoshi swayed a few times before finally collapsing to the ground, his vision going black.

All around was chaos, and thick darkness surged in like a tide.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was in a daze, as if he were having a nightmare, and his face was contorted in a grotesque expression.

"wake up!"

With a loud shout, he sat up abruptly.

In front of him was a mirror.

In the mirror, I saw myself dressed in a white robe.

He returned to the original space.

Everything that had just happened seemed like an old dream, yet it felt as if he had experienced it firsthand, not as if it were a fabrication.

Soaked in cold sweat, Uesugi Kiyoshi gasped for breath, staring intently at the Lord of a Hundred Demons in the mirror.

"Don't look at me like that. It's all true. I have no reason to lie to you."

Can you understand the despair I felt at that time?

Uesugi Kiyoshi closed his eyes and nodded.

"what"

"I've experienced that."

"That feeling of powerlessness surpassed any other sensation, and I loathed it utterly."

"What happened next?"

"The Scroll of One Hundred Demons contains both Inugami and Yingcao."

"They...aren't dead?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind was still working quickly. He immediately thought of the Hundred Demons Scroll and felt that there was still a chance for things to turn around.

The Lord of a Hundred Demons nodded silently, giving Uesugi Kiyoshi a very complicated look.

"Yes, I won't let them die like this."

"You should know that in that state, it wouldn't be surprising if I did something crazy."

"So, I made a deal with the [demon]."

"And they also stepped into a trap from which there is no return."

Chapter 263 The Final Scene

Uesugi stood quietly, waiting for the Lord of a Hundred Demons to continue.

He had a feeling that the real drama was about to begin.

The "script" of his recent experience connects perfectly with his previous diary entries.

This is a classic time-traveling revenge story: exile, low point, rise, setbacks, and rise again.

Eighty percent of commercial films on the market follow this formula.

Unlike the movie, the Lord of a Hundred Demons clearly has a bad ending.

Therefore, that "transaction" was the turning point of everything.

However, Uesugi Kiyoshi could understand the decision he made at the time; if he were in his shoes, he would have done the same.

He couldn't just stand by and watch the people around him die.

If this were in the modern world, and Kyoko died a violent death, he would definitely do everything in his power to save her.

The silence lasted for several minutes, until Uesugi Kiyoshi was getting a little impatient. His reflection in the mirror grinned, his tone slightly wicked and flippant.

"Don't wait any longer. You don't actually think I'm going to tell you what happened next, do you?"

"Figure it out yourself, young man."

Uesugi Kiyoshi pursed his lips and clenched his fist.

Has anyone ever told you that you deserve a beating?

"If someone like you went to write a novel, you'd definitely get razor blades in your hands."

He looked like he was about to hit someone, but his reflection in the mirror didn't seem to care.

"If I could say it, I would have said it already."

"Why would I let you experience my life so immersively—do you think I'm just doing this for fun? Preserving this illusion has taken a lot of my energy."

"The goal is for you to fill the gaps yourself."

"Listen carefully, the person you are dealing with is our biggest enemy."

"My death and the destruction of my branch of the Edo Genji clan were all thanks to it."

"I told you, don't mention Li Qing's name again, remember that. You are Uesugi Kiyoshi, and that's because of him."

“I can’t mention his existence at all, because if I do, he’ll find out.”

"There is absolutely no way they can escape this."

"You must keep my name and my deeds a secret and try not to let them out. Why do you think I have to communicate with you in the space where the sword heart awakens?"

"I'm trying to get away from him!"

"As long as it's not mentioned, everything will be fine. You, Uesugi Kiyoshi, can do whatever you want without consequence. But if Li Qing, or I, were to reappear in this world, we would be immediately targeted, and then..."

"This is unreasonable, but it is the truth."

"It's all a gamble. If you're content with mediocrity and never actively seek your own extraordinary potential, but instead indulge in the power of the Hundred Demons Scroll, you'll never discover these things in your lifetime."

"But I don't think I'll stoop that low."

"Clearly, I won the bet."

The Lord of a Hundred Ghosts' tone suddenly became urgent, and his figure visibly became somewhat ethereal, as if he might disappear at any moment.

"Okay, the last scene, I'll show you in a bit."

"There are some things I need to tell you again. I don't have much time left, but I have to say them. I know my own personality. If I don't say them, you might develop inner demons."

"Listen carefully, I am not controlling your life."

The Lord of a Hundred Demons' first words made Uesugi Kiyoshi raise an eyebrow, frown, and his expression darken.

He does mind that.

Although the memories from the Lord of a Hundred Demons were gently transferred into his mind using some unknown secret method, he still minded it.

He always felt that his insistence was ridiculous.

It turns out he had a past life and a present life, and everything he encountered was preordained.

If he were the one who did all this, he wouldn't be unable to accept it, but there would always be a lingering resentment in his heart.

But those words stirred something within him.

“I knew you were thinking about this. We’re both stubborn people—none of the things that happened to you were arranged by me.”

"There is only one thing I did: I left behind a legacy."

"The first thing to be affected is the Hundred Demons Scroll."

"That was the culmination of my efforts after I was deified, and it is also an important artifact that records the hundred ghosts under my command. I always have to leave something to protect my reincarnation."

"The activation condition for this thing is that you are sixteen years old or older, or when you are in mortal danger. At that moment, you will recall your memories as Li Qing, a citizen of the Celestial Empire, and merge your thoughts, with your main personality becoming a more mature Li Qing."

"Because these things can only be told to you after you have developed basic judgment."

"Apart from that, I didn't plan anything."

"Some encounters are destined, and some opponents are unavoidable. That's just how the world is; there's no escaping it."

Cherish the people in front of you, Uesugi Kiyoshi!

With a sigh of some emotion, the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts changed the subject.

"I left behind this remnant image of my soul only to tell you what you should know, but not to force you to live according to my will."

"After today, I will vanish into thin air, and only Uesugi Kiyoshi will remain in this world. You will be free to do whatever you want."

"Whether you ignore it all, prefer to live a normal life or continue on your path to the pinnacle of the extraordinary, or simply want to uncover the truth and vent your pent-up frustrations."

"As you wish."

"I only have one request to make."
