Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

After Yuan Qingya landed, she was already standing in front of Qingxingdeng.

He habitually swung his sword a few times, as if warming up before a killing, and stared at the young Onmyoji opposite him, suddenly revealing a somewhat terrifying smile.

"Where did this little brat come from? He's learned a few tricks of pretending to be a ghost and is now bullying my head steward."

"You're blind as a bat."

"Alright, since we're here."

"Don't leave!"

Chapter 286 The Four Spirits

Yuan Qingya actually knew the person in front of her.

Heian-kyo was only so big. The Minamoto, Taira, and Fujiwara clans were powerful families related to the imperial family, and their members rose rapidly in their careers. Their social circles were actually not very large.

Besides these, there was another clan that could also be considered imperial relatives.

Kamoya.

The Kamo family was famous for its Onmyōdō (yin-yang) techniques, and En no Ozunoka, the progenitor of Onmyōdō in Japanese history, was an ancestor of the Kamo family.

Kamo no Enki-kun Ozunobu, who lived between the Asuka and Nara periods, was a sorcerer of that time, commonly known as an Enki-gyosha, and is also the founder of Onmyoji.

He was a descendant of Prince Hikozumi, son of Emperor Kaika. The Kamo family was also a true imperial family, and as a direct descendant of the Onmyōdō (the Way of Yin and Yang), they had controlled the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang) for hundreds of years, making them a powerful force in the region.

The most renowned Onmyoji of our time, Abe no Seimei, the son of the white fox, was mentored by Kamo no Tadayuki, the current pillar of the Kamo family, holding an important position in the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang), and a great Onmyoji capable of suppressing local demons.

The seemingly spoiled young Onmyoji opposite Gen Kiyoya is named Kamo Yoshimoto. He is the third son of the Kamo family head, a direct descendant of the orthodox Onmyo lineage, and belongs to the "main family".

He could bring several Onmyoji as bodyguards when he went out, and he was arrogant and domineering. There were very few people like him in Heian-kyo.

He Maoyi smiled sinisterly, stretched his neck, and flicked his wrist to produce two yellow talismans. He stared at Yuan Qingya with a cold gaze, as if he were looking at a mortal enemy.

"Yuan Qingya, you are still alive after all."

"It's alright, I'm here to take your life this time."

"Ha, do you even know that the sword demon you rescued in Heian-kyo was a sword blank that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was looking for for me?!"

"He promised me he would make a custom-made Onikiri for me, and he even picked out the materials, but you ruined it all!"

"You deserve to die!"

"Fortunately, as long as I kill you and take away the demon sword that has taken human form, that violent maniac Ryougen Yorimitsu won't dare to renege on his debt!"

"I've been training hard for three years since I was defeated by you last time, and this time I'm determined to crush you under my feet!!"

The young Onmyoji, Kamo no Yoshimoto, looked at Minamoto no Kiyomasa with red eyes, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Yuan Qingya remained calm and composed.

The hatred between him and Kamo no Yoshimoto was by no means a trivial matter. The relationship between the Kamo family and the Minamoto clan, especially the branch of Minamoto no Kiyomasa, was never peaceful.

Even if Kamo no Yoshimoto didn't cause trouble if they encountered this in the wilderness, Minamoto no Kiyomasa wouldn't mind cutting off the brat's head and causing trouble for the Kamo family.

Not to mention he actually made a move on his own treasure girl.

She is now the lifeblood of Gen Kiyoya, the soul of Musashi Province; this place cannot do without her for even a day.

Before the young Onmyoji could finish speaking his sinister words, his followers attacked without warning.

The talisman burned, transforming into lightning and fire rain, and two more tall, ghost-faced skeletons were summoned, wielding giant blades as they arrived.

Yuan Qingya just sneered.

To ordinary people, this might seem like divine intervention, but to Yuan Qingya, it was nothing more than a trivial skill.

The most terrifying shikigami in Onmyoji are always the family guardian spirits passed down through generations. After hundreds of years of time and nurturing, some can even rival the gods.

He couldn't be bothered to even glance at these worthless cannon fodder.

Genji's reputation as a genius swordsman is well-deserved.

He stepped forward, bent over, and gave a low shout.

The shimmering sword light flickered on the blade, like a lurking dragon about to ascend to heaven.

With a mere flick of his finger, an imperceptible sword aura burst forth from his body, swelling like a galaxy in the wind, transforming into a sword curtain that shattered the thunder and fire.

Then, a sword was drawn.

Amidst the crisscrossing sword energy, the two shikigami were pulverized into dust.

Yuan Qingya's figure was like a ghost, her sword light flowing without mercy. Her steps were light and graceful. After the four sword moves were completed, a line of blood spurted from the throats of the four Onmyoji, and then their heads fell to the ground.

He flicked the blood off his sword, raised an eyebrow, glanced at Kamo no Yoshimoto, and his smile turned sinister.

However, Yoshimoto Kamo did not panic.

"Are you quite pleased with yourself for taking the lives of a few servants? You're so happy about that?"

"Do you think that someone of my status would feel safe going out with these useless people?"

"You will die here today!"

With a flick of his wrist, Yoshimoto Kamo pulled a small compass from his sleeve.

Yuan Qingya's expression suddenly changed.

"The Four Symbols Spirit Gathering Disc? You actually brought that out with you?!"

"This is a treasure that suppresses the fortune of Heian-kyo and can summon the Four Spirits. It's just that it's temporarily being kept by the Kamo family. If you touch it and things get exposed, have you thought about the fate of your family?"

Yuan Qingya didn't fully understand what this magical artifact was, but he knew it was a family heirloom of the Hemo family, a compass that could summon the Four Spirits.

Japanese culture was heavily influenced by China. Even the layout of Heian-kyo (Kyoto) was modeled after Chang'an and Luoyang. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the cultural invasion of China permeated almost every corner of Japanese society.

The Four Symbols of the Celestial Empire also exist in Japan.

According to later generations, Abe no Seimei had twelve shikigami, named: Tenichi, Tensei, Suzaku, Rokugo, Gouken, Seiryu, Tenhou, Taiyin, Genbu, Taichang, Byakko, and Tenku.

Any one of them can be linked to Chinese mythology.

Whether the four spirits in this compass are legendary divine beasts, Minamoto no Kiyoya didn't know; whether they were the shikigami of Abe no Seimei as passed down through the ages, he didn't know either.

But he knew that this thing was probably not easy to deal with.

While pondering, Kamo no Yoshimoto pricked his finger, staining the yellow talisman with blood, and placed it on the compass.

In an instant, the dragon roared, the phoenix cried, the tiger howled, and the tortoise swayed.

Four colors of light—blue, white, red, and black—swirled up from the compass, circled in the air, and then found their target.

It's not Yuan Qingya.

But

Blue Lantern!

Kamo no Yoshimoto is not a fool. His spiritual power is weak, and he cannot control the compass at will. It would be difficult to use it to attack Minamoto no Kiyoya, and he could easily dodge and kill it.

In that case, the newly born Aoandon becomes the target.

It seems that Yuan Qingya is quite nervous about that monster.

Then

Will you save him or not?

If you try to save him, you will inevitably make many mistakes, and that will be the time when you lose your life.

Although the book is long, it is actually only a matter of a few breaths.

Four brightly colored beams of light swept across the sky, locking down every corner where Qingxingdeng was hiding.

This is a situation where certain death is inevitable.

Yuan Qingya didn't even have time to think before her body reacted instinctively.

With nimble steps and a swift movement, he pushed the green lantern several meters away.

He raised his sword to meet the menacing four-colored light.

He was prepared, but it was too fast!

A crimson light pierced through his right chest, spraying out a burst of blood, and the faint smell of burning flesh wafted out.

A blue light struck his abdomen, followed by a sickening cracking sound; it was estimated that one of his ribs was broken.

The dark light slammed heavily onto his left knee. With a loud bang, he lost control and fell to his knees, his left leg twisted into a bizarre shape.

None of that matters.

The most deadly white light, aimed at his chest, slowed down dramatically in his slightly narrowed eyes.

Raise your sword, slash downwards, and let your mind and spirit become one!

in!

A mournful cry from a large feline echoed across the wilderness.

Yuan Qingya's blade pierced through the white light, pinning it firmly to the ground.

Chapter 287 The fisherman gets a profit

The young swordsman was breathing heavily, his breath sounding like a broken-down blower roaring in frustration.

But his eyes remained calm, even cold.

Yuan Qingya's judgment was quick and accurate. Although the treasure was rare and precious, it also depended on who held it.

Even if you give a three-year-old child a sharp knife, he will find it difficult to hurt anyone.

Kamo no Yoshimoto's skills were clearly not up to par. Minamoto no Kiyomasa had heard of the legend of the Four Symbols Spirit Compass. If a great Onmyoji were to cast spells and set up arrays in Heian-kyo and activate this treasure, it would be possible to summon the "Four Spirits" guarding Heian-kyo to assist in the battle.

Although the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise may be a censored version learned from the Celestial Empire, they are, after all, legendary divine beasts, and their power is absolutely extraordinary.

But what did Kamo no Yoshimoto just do?

He commanded the four spirits to launch a very crude attack.

Its power is indeed enormous, but not enough to kill a person.
