I Am a Heroic Spirit

"They should be from the Warring States Period. I also feel that they are familiar. They may have come into contact with Lord Tokugawa." Hakata Toushirou said in a deep voice, "I can't imagine that one day I will face off against someone who may belong to my lord."

"No matter who they are, having fallen to this point, we have no choice but to kill them." Kogumamaru looked at Tamamonomae. "Come to think of it, does Lady Kitsune really need our protection? Even if we combine our forces, we can't defeat her."

"Rather than protection, it's more about eliminating those who attempt to block our path, like the assassin just now. After all, the masters in the palace won't let Master Fox reach the palace smoothly," said Monoyoshi Sadamune. "But it doesn't matter. As long as I'm here, no matter who blocks our path, we will definitely win every battle."

"Don't exaggerate. Anyone who is sent to consume Lord Tamamonomae's power can't be a weakling. If that lord takes action personally, it may not be a big deal. But for us, it will probably be a little worse." Yingwan said solemnly.

As soon as Hotarumaru finished speaking, a red-haired figure appeared again, but this time the Tsukumogami finally did not let Tamamonomae be attacked under their noses. Kogunemaru, Hotarumaru, and Ichiki Ichijin swung their swords at the first moment, and the three swords crossed to form a sword net that successfully stopped Fuma Kotaro.

Although the three of them are not as good as the Five Swords of the World, Ohnogi, Kokarasuma and the like, they are still the strongest among the ordinary Tsukumogami. Fuma Kotaro is not a first-class servant with strong close combat ability. Without releasing his Noble Phantasm, he was trapped by the three of them. He was in a dilemma and his life was in danger at any time.

"Ah, caught a big fish!"

At this moment, Miyamoto Musashi suddenly jumped out from the roof on one side, holding two swords and rushing towards Tamamonomae. The power of the Heavenly Eye was unstoppable. Without any unnecessary movements, he overwhelmed time and space with a sword, aiming at Tamamonomae's neck and swinging it down with his empty martial arts.

"It's Miyamoto Musashi!"

"Stop her!"

Amid the screams of the Tsukumogami, Tamamonomae's expression remained unchanged and her steps did not stop. Even though there was a sharp blade coming down in front of her, Tamamonomae still walked forward.

"Don't even think about it!"

Eight powerful Fusangshen arrived in time and appeared on all sides of Miyamoto Musashi.

"The true sword will kill!"

Eight shining sword lights cut through the night, and the deadly attack fell on Miyamoto Musashi's body, making Miyamoto Musashi unable to move forward. He could only retract his slash and swung out four consecutive slashes. The double-sword style was brought to the extreme and perfectly blocked the attacks from all directions.

"Nice martial arts, Miyamoto Musashi, right? I'll remember that."

Tamamonomae walked past Miyamoto Musashi less than one meter away from him, and even had the leisure to comment on Miyamoto Musashi's dual-sword style.

"Of course." Miyamoto Musashi said proudly, and then he was besieged by eight Tsukumogami, and had no time to talk to Tamamonomae.

"Whoever you are, please stop."

Ushiwakamaru was also attracted by the momentum that erupted here. While being held back by Fuma Kotaro and Miyamoto Musashi, he rode his horse over and blocked Tamamonomae's way.

"that is……"

"Lord Yoshitsune!"

“I didn’t expect to see you again!”

There was a commotion among the tsukumogami, and three tsukumogami came out, standing in front of Tamamonomae, looking at Ushiwakamaru with fiery eyes.

"Jin Jian, Yan Rong still has Bo Lu?"

Just as the three tsukumogami recognized the lord they once served at a glance, Ushiwakamaru also quickly recognized the short sword, katana, and Musashibo Benkei's weapon that she had used, and his mood became complicated.

Although Miyamoto Musashi told everyone on their way to Kyoto that they might encounter fallen Tsukumogami as enemies, she was not mentally prepared to encounter her former possessions so soon. When she thought about the reasons why the Tsukumogami fell, Ushiwakamaru felt even more complicated.

At this time, Tamamonomae, who had been walking at a moderate pace, had already approached. Jin Jian, Yan Rong, and Ximaru also noticed this. After looking at each other, they immediately jumped up.

"I'm deeply sorry, but even Lord Yoshitsune cannot stop Lord Tamamonomae's progress."

Hipmaru, known as the "Hou Midori," delivered a critical hit, slashing at Taifu Kuro, who was sitting under Ushiwakamaru.

"Lord Yoshitsune, you appeared too late. I can no longer protect you like I used to." Jin Jian flew up and fell from the sky towards Ushiwakamaru. The sword in his hand flashed with cold light like a stream of light.

"I have already killed my master once, so it will be no problem for me to kill him again." Yan Rong swung the huge naginata and swept towards Ushiwakamaru.

The three of them joined forces to force Ushiwakamaru to retreat, making way for Tamamonomae.

The sudden attack of the three people was caused by a certain amount of resentment and a certain amount of fear. After all, they were driven not only by the Yamata no Orochi far away in the underworld, but also by the Nine-tailed Fox right next to them.

"Damn it, you traitors, are you really enemies too?" Ushiwakamaru said angrily as he watched Tamamonomae walk past him, but was unable to escape the combined siege of Imakaki, Iwarong and Hibikimaru.

A trace of guilt flashed in Jin Jian and Yan Rong's eyes, which also contained a hint of resentment, but in their blood-red pupils, there was more of an irresistible murderous intent.

"Isn't it obvious? Lord Yoshitsune, the demonic evil spirit and disgusting bones in us just reflect the fact that we have become demon swords. Demon swords are meant to kill their masters." There was another deeper meaning in Kagemaru's words, and it revealed a bit of sadness, but the movement of swinging the sword in his hand did not slow down at all.

"By the way, if Lord Yoshitsune could have seen us a few months ago, you might have seen us differently than we are now." Yan Rong said in a deep voice.

"Aren't they all the same? A sword that has self-awareness and is out of the hands of its master is no longer the sword I need." Ushiwakamaru's voice grew cold. As a seasoned general, Ushiwakamaru was even more resolute than Miyamoto Musashi in this regard. No soldier would be willing to lose control of the weapon he used to save his life on the battlefield.

"Thin Green Sky Blade Shrinking Step!"

Ushiwakamaru decisively put away his Taifukuro, stood firmly on the ground, and while swinging his sword, he used the Tengu footwork and the technique of shrinking the earth to appear in front of Hibamaru. When the distance between the two was less than one meter, Ushiwakamaru suddenly swung his sword, and a dazzling flash of light hit Hibamaru with lightning speed.

Hibamaru never knew that Ushiwakamaru had such a powerful move. He was unable to dodge in time and could only use his body to block in front of him. Then he crashed into the wall several meters away. Dense cracks like spider webs spread from the place where Hibamaru was embedded to the surroundings.

By the time Higashimaru fell from the wall to the ground, the exposed bone spurs had pierced deep into his body by Ushiwakamaru's Noble Phantasm attack, and he was unable to move. It seemed that he didn't have much time left to live.

All the tsukumogami were shocked at once. They had not expected that Hibiki would be defeated so quickly. The last five tsukumogami rushed towards Ushiwakamaru and helped Konken and Iwarong form a battle formation to surround Ushiwakamaru.

Kokitsunemaru and Hotaru, who had trapped Fuma Kotaro, were also slightly stunned. In this way, Fuma Kotaro, who was proficient in ninjutsu, seized the opportunity, used the substitution technique to escape from the encirclement of the two, and in a blink of an eye, appeared next to Tamamonomae again.

"You are so persistent. Looks like I have to punish you~"

Tamamonomae was also moved by Fuma Kotaro's pursuit again. Although she did not stop, a ball of fox fire appeared in Tamamonomae's hand and she threw it at Fuma Kotaro.

Fuma Kotaro dodged quickly, but he wasn't prepared for Tamamonomae's foxfire, which was a tracking attack. He dodged five times in a row, but still couldn't escape the foxfire's pursuit. Fuma Kotaro also sensed the deadly threat from the foxfire, and believed that if he took a direct hit, he would be seriously injured, if not killed. After all, he was not the type of Saber or Berserker, nor was he a demon like Shuten-douji who could fight Berserker head-on.

Kokitsunemaru and Hotaru were already charging towards Fuma Kotaro, making it even more difficult for Fuma Kotaro to dodge.

In this desperate situation, Fuma Kotaro finally decided to use his Noble Phantasm. However, he did not use the anti-military Noble Phantasm, but instead used the anti-personnel Noble Phantasm with less consumption.

"You will eventually become a Rakshasa!"

After the Noble Phantasm was released, Fuma Kotaro's body began to change.

He stood over two meters tall, with arms and legs like steel, his body covered in tumors, his eyes bulging, his mouth like a bloody basin beneath his black beard, and four fangs. He looked like an immortal from the South Pole, his nose shaped like a hanging gallbladder. His voice was like a bell, and could be heard from five kilometers away; when he lowered his voice, it was hoarse and cracked.

The image of the monster, exactly the same as that recorded in historical books, appeared before everyone.

Although Kogumamaru and Hotaru were surprised, they did not hesitate to move their hands. The double swords and fox fire hit the mutated Fuma Kotaro at the same time, and the Fuma Kotaro who was originally Assassin

Chapter 213 Okita's Appearance

"Ah, isn't this Tamamonomae? Has she joined the black Abe Haru's side?"

Qingji, dressed in the attire of a princess, gently waved a bat fan, walked out from the darkness, and blocked Tamamonomae's path. Following behind her was another monster-like heroic spirit, Geubuhime.

"It's unbelievable that you would hang out with that dark beautiful monster." Qingji narrowed her eyes, looking a little arrogant.

"Although we don't want to be enemies with Tamamo, if you insist on going your own way, we will have no choice but to defeat you." Xingbu Ji continued Qing Ji's words.

"If we two join forces and use all our strength, you won't be able to get rid of us in a short time unless those Tsukumogami can free their hands. However, it has never been true that a possession can defeat its master." Qingji said confidently. Although Tamamonomae is powerful, the two of them are not small monsters. What's more, the Tamamonomae in this world is obviously related to Amaterasu and Vairocana Tathagata.

The two of them spoke to each other, implying that they wanted Tamamonomae to leave Kyoto on her own, and Tamamonomae naturally heard the confidence and kindness towards her in their words.

"Kiyohime, Gyobuhime, are they also monsters from another world? Or are they friends of Tamamonomae?"

Tamamonomae finally stopped and asked with interest.

The previous Tamamo Cat was fine, it was just a part that was split from another self. It seemed that it was separated when it was sealed, otherwise it would be impossible for it to separate its own power.

The two people before him seemed to be good friends of his other self. He could find out what his other self was like.

"Yes, my name is Princess Kobu, and this is Princess Kiyohime. We are close friends in the same circle as Ameyu Shumei, Kaguya-hime, Mamoru Scissor-tongue, and Tamamonomae." Princess Kobu said without any concealment.

"Tianyu is serving his life?" Tamamonomae's face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Gods? Why do gods exist?"

Qingji and Xingbuji were both shocked by Tamamonomae's sudden burst of momentum. Neither of them had expected that the Tamamonomae in this world was not much weaker than the original Tamamonomae, at least at the level of four to five tails. It was obvious that the gods in this world were almost dead.

The expressions of the two men also became solemn, and the magic power in their bodies began to boil, ready to release the treasure at any time.

"This is the difference between you and her. Although the Heian period in the other world was also the last age of gods, the gods still existed. Tamamonomae's true identity is Amaterasu, while you are a complete nine-tailed demon fox." Qingji said as she clenched the bat fan in her jade hands. Her weak muscles made a slight sound under the tension.

"Hahahaha..." Tamamonomae couldn't help laughing. The terrifying smile made Princess Kobu shrink her body, and she almost revealed her true appearance hidden under the princess's appearance.

"This is ridiculous! I, whose wife was killed by the Moon Goddess, am actually her sister in another world!" Tamamonomae's emotions became unstable, and the nine-tailed fox sitting cross-legged above Kyoto also began to riot. Its nine huge tails stirred up the Yin and spiritual energy in Kyoto, causing a howling gale to rise out of thin air in Kyoto. The small monsters and ordinary mortals were blown around in the wind.

"Wife?" Kiyohime murmured to herself, "Is Tamamonomae in this world also a good wife who only cares about the soul, regardless of gender?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. It seems that we mentioned something that shouldn't be mentioned. That guy seems to be going crazy. Should we run away now?" Xingbu Ji took a step back timidly and asked Qing Ji.

"It seems that Tamamonomae didn't do anything evil like killing or burning anything along the way. It's just that the evil aura she exuded was too obvious, which attracted us here." Qingji suddenly became serious.

"What do you want to say?" Xingbu Ji asked doubtfully.

"What I mean is, Tamamonomae didn't harm any innocent people. She seems to be going to the Imperial Palace. The Emperor should be able to hire someone capable to protect her..."

"so?"

“So, I ran away first!”

Kiyohime spoke seriously, then, leaving a word behind, turned and ran. $ "Don't leave me behind." Seeing Kiyohime's sudden change of attitude, Kobuhime panicked. Then, looking at Tamamonomae's appearance, she immediately chased after Kiyohime in fear, completely losing the high-spirited look she had when she came.

Tamamonomae saw Kiyohime and Kobuhime being scared away, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. In the end, she did not chase them. Instead, she turned to Yaobikuni and said, "Hold Kobuhime and don't let her run around."

The eight hundred bhikkhunis were stunned for a moment, then asked, "What about Qingji?"

"As for Qingji, let Qingji handle it."

"Kiyohime?"

Tamamonomae turned her gaze to the mansion on the other side, and Yaobikuni, with a puzzled look on her face, also looked over there. She heard a dull sound, and then saw the wall of the mansion collapsed, and a red figure with a human head and a snake body slid out from the ruins.

This figure was none other than the SR-level monster Qingji, who was summoned by the power of the Yamata no Orochi, wreaked havoc in Kyoto, and was secretly called over by Tamamonomae.

"Kiyohime, that woman who is the same as you is now in your hands. Tie her up and don't let her run around." Tamamonomae ordered Kiyohime coldly, without saying anything about asking Kiyohime to defeat Kiyohime from another world. Although she had the power of the Yamata no Orochi, the Kiyohime in this world was still far inferior to the Kiyohime from another world.

"For Lord Yamata no Orochi!" The snake girl, whose head was filled with evil thoughts of snakes, shouted frantically and rushed like a steamroller, chasing after Kiyohime. Yaobikuni also calmly chased after Princess Kobu. Wasn't the purpose for her to be called by Tamamonomae to delay the strong men from the non-Yinjie forces in Kyoto?

Only in this way can the destruction of the protective barriers everywhere be prevented from being interfered with by anyone, and Kyoto can be successfully transformed into the underworld.

Tamamonomae continued to move forward, and did not forget to release the evil spirit, using himself as bait to attract a powerful enemy worthy of attention.

"Someone is chasing you."

Xingbu Ji, who was fleeing in panic, looked back and said loudly.

"Is it a fox?" Qingji asked while running without looking back.

"No, it's the human next to Tamamonomae, and the other one seems to be Kiyohime from this world." Keibuhime replied.

Qingji suddenly stopped and reached out to grab the running Keibuji. After a few breaths, she said calmly, "Then why are you still running? If we can't beat Tamamonomae, can we not beat a human, and the Qingji of this world?"

"Yes." Xingbu Ji suddenly realized, turned around and waited for the arrival of the pursuers with Qing Ji.

The two men didn't have to wait long before they were met with a fierce attack from the pursuers.

"Your life is running out! Starfall!"

The blue starlight formed a gorgeous magic circle in the raised hands of the eight hundred bhikkhunis. The spiritual power moved the celestial phenomena, and the dazzling starlight broke through the cover of the yin energy and fell towards Xingbu Ji.

"On the contrary, it should be you who has little life left! Chiyo Paper Manipulation Method!"

Princess Xingbu said proudly, and countless origami flew out of her hands. Through combination, they transformed into various means to block the attack of Yaobikuni, which was like the power of heaven.

Yaobikuni was a little surprised. She did not hide her strength today like she usually did. She fully exerted the power accumulated over hundreds of years, but she still failed to hurt Xingbu Ji, a not-so-famous monster.

The Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis were surprised, but did not hesitate. She waved her staff to draw the power of the stars and attacked Princess Xingbu. Princess Xingbu also used origami to attack and defend without hesitation. For a while, the sky was full of stars and white paper flying everywhere, but neither side had the upper hand.

"Love is like fire that burns the body, you should also sacrifice yourself for love."

Just like Yaobikuni, the snake girl who was brainwashed by Yamata no Orochi also used her ultimate move right from the start, and the violent demonic fire burned towards Qingji like an overwhelming force.

"Very well, let us compare and see whose love is the most fervent! Now, let us expose the inescapable lie and turn to the Fire Samadhi!"

Seeing the snake woman's attack method, Qingji's eyes lit up, and she immediately released her treasure, transformed into a giant snake that spewed flames, and spit out dragon breath at the snake woman.

The seemingly fierce confrontation soon came to an end, and the result was not surprising. The snake girl's demon fire was swallowed up by the power of the dragon's breath at first sight, and the snake girl herself was burned to ashes.

"..."

Qingji clicked her tongue and said nothing. She didn't expect that she looked so powerful in this world, but was so weak when fighting.

At this moment, a violent and evil powerful demonic energy erupted from the ashes of the snake woman, pushing Qingji so hard that she almost fell down. When Qingji was shocked, she saw the snake woman resurrected from the ashes, and the demonic energy in her body was three times stronger than before.

The snake girl let out a sharp howl and attacked Qingji again.

Among the advance troops entering Kyoto, the five people, Geibuhime, Kiyohime, Ushiwakamaru, Miyamoto Musashi, and Fuma Kotaro, had been attracted by the evil energy erupted by Tamamonomae and were dragged down, unable to escape. Only Okita Souji was left, and he never arrived.

Not far from the Sanin and Sanyo roads in the west, Okita Souji was using the technique of shrinking the earth and moving quickly westward.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, when everyone else was drawn away by the demonic energy erupting from Tamamonomae, Okita Souji sensitively discovered that a battle had taken place in the west. Just by looking at the momentum, he knew that the demon side was far stronger than the human side. After thinking quickly, Okita Souji gave up the idea of ​​looking for Tamamonomae and turned to the west.

Along the way, countless monsters and ghosts tried their best to stop Okita Souji's progress, including several big monsters and dozens of high-level monsters, who were killed one by one by Okita Souji's sword. This abnormal situation made Okita Souji suspicious, and he insisted on going to the Sanin and Sanyang Road despite being intercepted by monsters and ghosts.

At this time, at the intersection of the two mountain roads, King Makura Ye and Snow Girl were setting up a formation to destroy the protective barrier. Suddenly, Crow Tengu flew out from the sky and shouted in panic, "Oh no, Master Makura Ye, Master Snow Girl, a powerful warrior is coming."

"Oh?" King Makura raised his eyebrows in surprise. Most of the monsters in the underworld are distributed on the road leading to the barrier guarded by the four gods. How could a warrior break through? Could it be Lord Minamoto no Raikou?

"Go and call those Tsukumogami over. They have rested for so long, it's time for them to do some work." King Makura Ye ordered Crow Tengu.
