I Am a Heroic Spirit

Ushiwakamaru was not familiar with Abe Haruaki, nor with Abe Haruaki's Shikigami Hakuzoshu, but they knew each other and could naturally see the problem with Hakuzoshu.

"Let's go to Seimei Shrine. That place is not a place that Yuyuko can occupy. If you are lucky, you will meet an old friend you have forgotten." After a brief consideration, Ushiwakamaru said again.

Since Hei Qingming had caused so much trouble, she didn't believe that Bai Qingming was so stupid as to not notice anything and not leave any backup plan. And Bai Zangzhu was the stepping stone. If Bai Qingming really still existed in the world, then he would definitely appear when Bai Zangzhu came to find him.

Do you know me? Do you know my past?

Hakuzoshu wanted to ask this, but Ushiwakamaru had already gone away with Musashibo Benkei. Hakuzoshu stared blankly at the gradually blurry figure, his heart full of doubts.

Shaking his head, Hakuzoshu did not go up to ask. Since Ushiwakamaru didn't say it clearly, it would be a waste of time even if he chased after him. It would be better to go to Seimei Shrine to take a look.

And just as Yoshitsune guessed, the Seimei Shrine has never been breached. The barrier inside and people's faith in Abe Haruaki are such that even the fox with the purple robes who claims to be the mother of Abe Haruaki and the Gomon clan, descendants of Abe Haruaki, have been unable to enter. Ordinary monsters are naturally no exception. Although he has not tried it, he believes that he should not be able to get in.

However, according to Lord Yoshitsune, he seemed to have a connection with the great Onmyoji Abe no Haruaki who lived thousands of years ago. In this case, since he had already been defeated, he really needed to go to the Seimei Shrine to see it.

Thinking this in his heart, Bai Zangzhu stood up straight and stumbled towards the opposite direction of Nijo Castle. At this moment, Bai Zangzhu would never have thought that this choice would lead to a reversal of his life.

Under the Nijo Castle lies a pool of water as black as ink. This is the Nue Pond, where the foxes replenish nutrition for their children. It is also the darkest place in the world. 2.5. The resentment condensed into liquid, and countless girls who have lost their livers and their lives are sunk in this pool.

Yuyuko was sitting naked in the middle of the Nue Pond. Her belly was bulging, like a pregnant woman in her tenth month.

Yuyuko's brows suddenly frowned. If you ignore the part below her head, her delicate face revealed a melancholy look that was enough to make a large number of men feel pity for her.

"Sister, what's wrong?" The young Kuang Gu saw Yuyuko's melancholy face and asked her worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm just feeling inexplicably depressed, as if something unpleasant is about to happen." Yuyuko shook her head soothingly to Kuanggu, then reached out and stroked her bulging belly, whispering to herself.

"Something unpleasant happened, could it be something happened outside?" Kuang Gu guessed.

"Sister, I'll go out and observe the situation." Kuang Gu was still a little worried about the Onmyojis of Gomonin. After all, they were Onmyojis, and their stance was naturally opposite to theirs. Even if Sister was still pregnant with Abe Haruaki, they might not always help them honestly, just like Gomonin Taishinaga who had long since left the Abe family.

"Well, you should be careful. If there is any danger, come back quickly." Yuyuko hesitated for a moment. Although she was worried about Kuanggu's safety, she nodded when she saw Kuanggu's determined expression.

After receiving Yuyuko's promise, Kuang Gu immediately turned around and left, heading towards Nijo Castle via the stairs leading to the ground.

Chapter 341 Return to the latest chapter list next chapter

Outside Nijo Castle, Abe Yoshihei, Abe Yuroke, Abe Ariyuki, Gomonin Shinkyu, Gomonin Amami, Gomonin Yasutoshi, Gomonin Mizujiko, Gomonin Arihiro, Gomonin Nagachika, Gomonin Taisei, and Gomonin Taisei, descendants of Kuroi Haru, stationed in front of the gate of Nijo Castle to prevent foreign invasion.

"It's a pity that the Hyaku Monogatari team lost." Abe Ariyuki suddenly said. Although he used the word "pity" in his words, from his calm and composed look, it was impossible to tell that there was any regret at all.

"Didn't you expect this a long time ago? Otherwise you wouldn't have brought back the Shikigami and the sword." Abe Yuro's bloody eyes swept over Ye Que who was standing quietly behind him.

"That's the case, but the self-proclaimed Demon King Yamamoto Gorouzaemon is also a good fighter and can be considered an ally of Lord Haruaki." Abe Ariyuki said with a smile. Even though he knew about the alliance between Yamamoto Gorouzaemon and Kuro Haruaki in hell, he still looked indifferent.

"At this time, we don't have time to care about him. The most important thing is to resurrect Lord Qingming." Mizuki Gomonin said.

"Here it comes! Such a strong demonic aura! It smells like wine, it's probably Shuten-doji."

At this moment, Abe Yoshihei, who had been silently guarding the gates of Nijo Castle, suddenly raised his head and looked straight ahead, his nose twitching. Although there was no one in sight, the demonic aura and the aroma of fruit wine were too obvious.

Abe Ariyuki, Gomonin Mizuko and others who were talking also stopped communicating and looked forward.

Several blurry figures gradually appeared within the range of vision.

"Stop, no one is allowed to pass through here." Abe Yoshihei took two steps forward and shouted in a deep voice.

"What if we must go over there?" a domineering female voice sounded.

"Then you will have to step over our corpses." Tian Hai of the Imperial Court replied in a deep voice.

As the heavy voice fell, the road to Nijo Castle suddenly split open. A dense mass of youkai and the corpses of exorcists crawled out of the cracked ground and swarmed frantically towards the approaching bodies. These were the corpses prepared by Taisei Gomonin for the resurrection technique. Under the influence of Taisei Gomonin's resurrection technique, all of them moved, forming an army of the dead.

"This is the Avici Cry! The Great Fiery Hell, the Indestructible Chaos Brigade!"

Fuma Kotaro responded to the enemy's attack immediately. The Noble Phantasm released by his real name turned into a sea of ​​​​blazing flames, burning the army of the dead. The two hundred subordinates who turned into spirits took the forcibly sent souls back to hell.

Taisei Gomonin raised two fingers and chanted an incantation, but he could no longer summon the spirits. Gomonin Shinjie produced his treasured puppet collection: over a dozen Yokai puppets, all of them Great Yokai caliber, and hundreds more high-level Yokai puppets, each powerful enough to withstand a blow from the Heroic Spirits. Gomonin Yuroku summoned eight enormous snake-like Shikigami, which emerged from the gloomy clouds and swooped down towards Shuten-doji and the others with a hissing roar. Gomonin Arihiro also summoned thousands of falcon Shikigami, which, in conjunction with the Yokai puppets on the ground, laid siege to the Heroic Spirits.

Gomonin Yasutada and Gomonin Tenkai deployed the barrier field that they had previously set up in front of Nijo Castle and hidden. Even Shuten-doji could not avoid being affected by the barrier field set up by the two first-class Onmyoji. After all, Onmyoji are very targeted against monsters.

Most of the Onmyojis in Gomonin did not give their all, because their main goal was to give birth to Black Seimei. Before that, it was enough to just delay the enemy and there was no need to cause any more trouble.

Therefore, their attacks are only minor troubles to the heroic spirits.

However, although they scoffed at it as a minor inconvenience, the barrier field set up by Gomonin Yasutoda and Gomonin Tenkai did cause them trouble. The reversed sense of direction, coupled with the attacks of the puppet shikigami, made them feel very irritable and uneasy even though they did not suffer any injuries for a while.

"Princess Keibu, remove this barrier." Shuten-doji rubbed his head and ordered Princess Keibu in an anxious tone. She had to admit that these Onmyojis still had some unique qualities and were worthy of being the descendants of Abe Haruaki.

"Hmm? I see! In Himeji Castle, there's a barrier of purity protecting the four directions. This is the Takatsu bird that awakens the underworld. It was created by Master Yatendo. That is, Master Daitendo of the Hundred Demons of Shirasagi Castle, who passes through here!"

Xingbu Ji was a little confused at first, but she was not stupid and immediately understood what Shuten-doji meant.

As the Noble Phantasm's true name was chanted, a miniature model of Himeji Castle materialized in a brilliant glow. Similar to a Noble Phantasm with inherent barriers, while non-aggressive, the moment it appeared, it affected all barriers in the area where it appeared. In the blink of an eye, the barrier created by Gomonin Yasutada and Gomonin Amami was crushed by Himeji Castle's defensive measures.

Yasutada Gomonin and Amami Gomonin vomited a pool of blood mixed with internal organs as soon as they opened their mouths. The backlash from the broken barrier field caused them to suffer serious internal injuries.

"Be careful, my barrier has been broken!" Tianhai Yumenyuan was supported by Dean Yumenyuan himself and said weakly.

"I'll use some tricks, but I'll show you what true power is!" Ibaraki Douji's arrogant laughter echoed, and with it came a blazing flame, a massive flaming fist transformed from a severed arm. "Hahaha... Severed by treacherous tactics, my right arm, lost and recovered, has become a monstrous thing! Rush, Congyuan Fire! Rashomon's great resentment arises!"

"Please understand, I have to do my part too. I will turn around and perform the Fire Samadhi!" Qingji then released her treasure, and her body turned into a huge green dragon. She crashed into the puppet, surrounded it and breathed out dragon's breath. Together with Ibaraki Douji, they burned the shikigami and the puppet together.

Although it only took four consecutive attacks to completely shatter the Gomonin clan's Onmyoji's methods, each move was a Noble Phantasm, demonstrating the Gomonin clan's difficulty in defeating them. However, such a formidable move could only be a one-time use. Even if they managed to survive this battle, they wouldn't necessarily succeed if they tried to gather so much combat power. After all, those Shikigami and puppets were the product of hundreds of years of accumulation, and in today's world, there weren't that many monsters for them to capture.

"Qiang!"

The sound of weapons clashing rang out, and Abe Yoshihei, Gomonin Shinjie and others quickly dispersed. Looking back, they found that the enemy had sneaked up on them. If Dean Gomon had not personally used the barrier eye to detect it, they would definitely have one casualty.

After all, the heroic spirit who sneaked over to carry out the assassination was the famous executioner Okada Izo.

Okada Izo's hawk-like swordsmanship made it difficult for Dean Gomon to resist. Even with his sword Butsujira in hand, he could not stop Okada Izo from invading the 2.5-meter absolute domain. After just a few moves, his body was covered in blood.

Yasuyo Gomonin hurried forward to help. Although he was not the head of the family, he also had a skill. Holding a sickle-toothed sickle that could destroy any knife, he chopped off Okada Izo's head.

Faced with the attack of the sharp weapon, Okada Izo naturally had to swing his sword to block it. He quickly slashed at Chikuanggan before Abbot Gokado swung his sword. After repelling it, he immediately turned back and chopped at Abbot Gokado's sword Butsujiro.

With his swordsmanship as swift as an eagle, Okada Izo can handle it with ease even when facing two enemies who are not much weaker than him at the same time.

However, after a few moves, Okada Izo suddenly found that there were several deep cracks on the sword in his hand. Based on his familiarity with his weapon, he could judge that if he continued like this, the weapon would be damaged in the collision before he could kill the enemy.

"Oh!"

At this moment, a bullet came silently, but when it was only half a meter away from Taisei Gomonin, it was knocked down from mid-air by the sword swung by Dean Gomonin himself.

Although he is extremely nearsighted, the existence of the barrier eye allows Dean Yumen to possess a skill that is almost at the level of B-level intuition. No one can successfully sneak within a range of 2.5 meters around him, unless the enemy has a high level of stealth ability.

After missing his first shot, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately picked up his sniper rifle and moved to another location. Just as he was leaving his original location, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, creating a crater in the place where he had been hiding. Although Kiritsugu Emiya was affected, it did not affect his speed. He quickly found a hidden place and hid there, preventing Abe Yoshihei from using lightning strikes.

On the other side, the Gomonin family and the heroic spirits also began a head-on confrontation.

Shuten-doji faced off against Mizujiko Gomonin and Abe Ariyuki alone. Abe Ariyuki was the white-clothed Abe, so his strength was needless to say. Mizujiko Gomonin could be called the strongest man in the black-clothed Gomonin, so it was naturally not just because of his powerful spiritual power. His ability lay in his control over the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

His head is wood, his left hand is fire, his right hand is water, his left foot is earth, and his right foot is gold. In addition, he can combine the power of the two different attributes into another powerful ability. Being able to perform this incredible technique is the key to making him the strongest man in Gomonyuan.

Although Shuten-douji was held back by his job, he was still the best among the best. Even so, he could not suppress Mizuki Gomonin and Abe Ariyuki. On the one hand, both of them were Onmyojis and had strong control over monsters. On the other hand, both of them were also strong. If they were evaluated by servants, they would not be at the bottom among the first-class servants.

"What a hassle! I'd better melt it all at once. ——A Thousand Colors, Divine Ghost Poison. Starting from the fingertips, slowly, slowly..."

In desperation, Shuten-douji could only activate his Noble Phantasm, but Shuten-douji himself was not based on the Noble Phantasm, but on powerful basic stats and auxiliary combat skills.

The purple poisonous fog spread, but failed to affect Mikadoin Mizuko, whose whole body had turned into the five elements. Abe Yuxing used some means to isolate himself from the erosion of the poisonous fog and was not greatly affected.

The ones who were really affected were the other Onmyoji of Gomonin.

Ibaraki Douji stopped Gomonin Arihiro, Gomonin Amami, Gomonin Taitada, and Gomonin Shinkyu. Although he was one against four, Gomonin Arihiro was extremely weak and could only fight against second-rate Servants at best. Gomonin Amami and Gomonin Taitada had just suffered a backlash and were severely injured. Now they were also corroded by the poisonous mist, and their strength was greatly reduced.

Although Gomonin Shinkyu is the strongest woman in Gomonin, the big monster puppets used for fighting have been killed in the previous interception battle. The puppet strings used to control the enemy will be burned by Ibaraki Douji's flames once they get close to Ibaraki Douji. Even if Ibaraki Douji's body is really tied up, Ibaraki Douji can detach his arms from his body and cause serious damage to Gomonin Shinkyu.

The restraint of their abilities allowed Ibaraki Douji to defeat four of them without any problems. However, this was already Ibaraki Douji's limit. The remaining few were not easy to deal with. Even if one of them joined, Ibaraki Douji would be at a disadvantage.

Kiyohime faced off against Abe's blood, and despite the considerable difference in strength, Kiyohime was beaten down by Abe's blood. However, Kiyohime was not alone, and secretly had Fuma Kotaro as her assistant.

As a ninja and also Assassin, Fuma Kotaro is not the type to fight head-on. Fuma Kotaro uses his breath to cover himself and hides in the dark. He sees Qingji barely resisting Abe Yuro's attack and does not move at all until he seizes the opportunity. Fuma Kotaro immediately shoots towards Abe Yuro's neck.

As Abe Yuro is a man of the Baiyi Abe clan, his strength is naturally unparalleled. Even if the eight snake shikigami are killed, he still has the strength to defeat Kiyohime and Fuma Kotaro together. Even if Fuma Kotaro suddenly attacks, he can still find time to break up Fuma Kotaro's body.

However, what was dispersed was only Fuma Kotaro's clone. Fuma Kotaro's real body had already come to Abe Yuroku's side from the other side and cut off Abe Yuroku's head with one knife.

Until her death, Abe Yuro was unable to summon her strongest shikigami, the ancient great fish Eluo.

This is the sadness of fighting with assassination-type enemies. It is very likely that you will be killed for no apparent reason before you even use your special skills.

Just like Fuma Kotaro and Abe Yuro, and like Emiya Kiritsugu and Gomonin Yasuyo.

After the first attack failed, Kiritsugu Emiya chose a position and waited for the second chance. He fired a bullet at Taiyo Gokadoin from an angle that Dean Gokado could not reach. Taiyo Gokadoin, who did not have the ability of Dean Gokadoin, naturally could not intercept Kiritsugu Emiya's bullet, and his head was blown up without any resistance.

After all, even though the head of the Gomonin family could achieve immortality, he still had a human body, and there was no guarantee that he would survive even if his head exploded.

Chapter 342 Return to the latest chapter list next chapter

Yuyuko broke free from the giant baby's body, revealing part of her body, but another part of her body was still connected to the giant baby.

"I can feel it, Seimei..."

The thousand-year-old dream was realized at this moment, and Yuyuko couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

Hearing the giant baby's call, Yuyuko's face lit up with a satisfied smile. She spread her arms, looked down at Shuten-doji and the others below, and announced excitedly.

"I have waited for this moment for a thousand years. The true Lord of Ghosts and Demons, towering above both humans and demons, is about to be born. It is a rare opportunity for you all to gather here on this auspicious day. In addition to the descendants of Qingming, you have also come all the way from Tokyo. Thank you for your hard work."

"What nonsense is that guy talking about!" Ibaraki Douji was very annoyed by Yuyuko's words, which had no other meaning but made her feel uncomfortable for some reason, because those words sounded like they were mocking the heroic spirits who came from Tokyo.

"Darkness has coexisted with humanity since ancient times. Incarnations of darkness like me will always be around us, but humanity cannot exist in perfect harmony forever. One day, we will be tainted, our ugly nature will take over our hearts, and the things we believe in and love will fall into despair after centuries of resentment. I dream that one day, I will destroy this world with something pure. That will be darkness, boundless darkness, pure darkness without a single flaw!"

Yuyuko finally completely separated from the giant baby's body. Black evil spirit surrounded her body and turned into a pure black sailor suit.

"I am darkness, the purest form, black hair, black eyes, black clothing, complete darkness. Come, servants of darkness, protect the child of darkness."

Yuyuko shouted loudly, and suddenly chaotic demonic energy rose from the collapsed ruins of Nijo Castle. A scene of demon chaos appeared in everyone's sight. Although there were no big monsters, more than ten thousand demons and monsters crawled out from the underground of Nijo Castle, and launched a suicidal charge towards the heroic spirits with high morale.

This is the last line of defense that Yuyuko prepared for herself, and it is also the weakest line of defense, because not many people can pass through the defense lines of the Onmyoji of the Gomonoin family, the Hyaku Monogatari Group, and the Kyoto Group without being damaged. Even if 413 passed the two lines of defense of the Onmyoji and the monsters, after arriving at Nijo Castle, she would not have much strength left.

"Let's do it. Although we may not be able to stop Kuro Seimei from being resurrected successfully, at least we should get rid of all his helpers before he is resurrected."

Bai Qingming opened the bat fan, and the densely packed talismans glowed faintly on the fan.

"This is easy, let me do it."

Shuten-doji staggered and picked up the wine dish, and the wine flowed out from the tilted dish. The God-Demon Poison Wine turned into poisonous mist and spread out. Tens of thousands of monsters were killed by the toxin in the mist in the blink of an eye.

One after another, the rotting corpses of monsters fell to the ground, and suddenly, corpses were everywhere.

"I'm going to fight you! Gold, wood, water, fire, earth! All five elements are balls!"

At this time, Mizutani Gomon rushed out from behind a huge monster corpse, holding a huge energy ball in both hands, in which the power of the five elements circulated, emitting an extremely terrifying power.

The strongest man in the Gomonin family, Gomonin Suijiko, used the most powerful curse, the Five Elements Ball, and its power should not be underestimated. Shuten-doji, Geibu-hime, Ushiwakamaru and others all changed color, because the corpse was very close, and Gomonin Suijiko suddenly rushed out from behind it, leaving them no time to dodge.

"Oh!"

"careful!"

With a gunshot, Abe Ariyuki waved out dozens of talismans, forming a talisman wall beside Mizuki Gomonin. A bullet hit the talisman wall, broke through two layers of talismans, lost its impact force, and fell to the ground.

"The right arm, severed by a treacherous plot and then returned to the body, has become a monster! Run, Kushohara Fire! Rashomon's great resentment arises!"

"boom!"

Ibaraki Douji released his Noble Phantasm at the same time as Gomonin Mizukiko attacked. However, the purple lightning pillar that fell from the sky diverted the attack direction of Ibaraki Douji's Noble Phantasm.

Rashomon's Great Grudge and the Lightning Pillar cancel each other out, making it impossible for Ibaraki Douji to fight against Gomonin Mizuko's Five Elements Ball. Shuten Douji's Noble Phantasm is useless in this situation, and there is only one consequence of a normal attack (cbba), which is to be blasted into a state where he needs to continue fighting, or even be killed directly.

Ushiwakamaru's Free Eyes of Heaven and Six Strategies can be used, but the energy reaction of the Five Elements Ball is too great, and she can't even affect Mizuki Gomonin herself. Just diverting them is useless. After all, Mizuki Gomonin is still able to move, and the energy balls raised in her hands have not been thrown out. There are two Onmyoji named Abe in white clothes assisting her from behind.

Although Musashibo Benkei's Noble Phantasm is powerful enough, it affects the enemy's body and cannot counter the enemy's attack.

Princess Xingbu was still hiding behind, and the crumbling Himeji Castle was obviously unable to withstand the attack of the Five Elements Ball.

Bai Qingming reluctantly set up a defensive barrier, but this temporary defensive barrier could only deal with ordinary attacks at most.

The bullets fired by Kiritsugu Emiya, who was hiding in the dark, had no effect on the Onmyojis who were concentrating on their work.

"In that case, it's up to me!"

Hokusai Katsushika stood up, and the sleeves of her hands began to dance. Unignorable waves quickly formed under her dancing sleeves.

"Om, Sunelisetha, Svaha; Om, Mahalisheya, Ailipa, Svaha... O Black Tortoise, who sees through all things, O noble Star King, who guards the vast expanse of the North Star! I offer you my all! I beg you to view it! 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji'! In The Great Wave off Kanagawa!"

Hokusai Katsushika chanted the spell to release the Noble Phantasm, and a huge wave first appeared in the air in the form of a painting, and then quickly turned into a solid entity. The real wave rushed towards Mizuki Gomonin, followed by an even bigger wave.

The air became humid, proving that the Kanagawa waves actually appeared in Kyoto, far away from Kanagawa.

"boom!"
