I Am a Heroic Spirit

"It's not that simple. Your degeneration into a demon means that your resentment is extremely deep. If it's just some emotional issues, it shouldn't be this serious. After all, there are many positive emotions." Ashiya Doman questioned. The emotions of the spirits can be both negative and positive. If that were the case, they shouldn't have fallen.

Xiao Karasuma said, "It's really not that simple. The clones summoned by the Shinsengumi are all based on luck. If they're lucky, the sword clones they summon are extremely rare and powerful, while if they're unlucky, they summon ordinary swords. In order to obtain powerful swords, most Shinsengumi will use ordinary swords as consumables, not spending energy and resources on them until they're broken. This is why the ordinary sword clones, when they return, all feel resentment towards the Shinsengumi."

"Moreover, most Shinsengumi are women, while swords and tsukumogami are all men. The rarer and more powerful swords are also more handsome, which leads to Shinsengumi being attracted to tsukumogami. This happens tens of thousands of times every year. However, the bad nature of humans and the obsession of swords often lead to such things not ending well."

"The sword that has fallen into demonic possession has no other destination except the Time Travel Army."

Ashiya Doman already understood that ordinary swords were corrupted because they were treated as consumables by the Shinsengumi, and rare swords were corrupted because of the Shinsengumi's greedy lust.

So why do we have so many completely unqualified Shinsengumi? If they were genuine Shinsengumi, this problem wouldn't arise.

Ashiya Michi had a lot of curse words in his mind that he wanted to curse at the current government.

Zhang Luo finally discovered where that sense of familiarity came from. It was not FGO, but another game, an otome harem game that his cousin often played before he traveled through time. Because it was all about Japanese swords and all the characters were men, he had never played it, but he knew a little about it through constant exposure.

"Hey, have you thought about it? We don't have that much time to accompany you to think about it."

At this time, another Tsukumogami pointed a sword that was very familiar to Zhang Luo at Ashiya Doman and asked in a bad tone.

"Lion King?" Zhang Luo said the name of the katana. Isn't that katana the Lion King of Huangquan?

"You know me, you have good taste," said the Tsukumogami, whose true identity is the Demon-Exorcist Sword Lion King, proudly. However, Lion King immediately realized the current situation and his face darkened. He shouted loudly: "No, don't try to interrupt. Tell us your decision quickly, Ashiya Doman."

Oh my god, it really is the Lion King. It seems that these Tsukumogami really did come back from the year 2205 in this world. In other words, by the year 2205, this world has not yet been destroyed. This is really something to be thankful for.

Zhang Luo thought to himself.

Ashiya Michiman looked around, his eyes sweeping across the courtyard in all directions except the main gate. His fingers continued to tap the table in the same pattern as before, his face full of indecision.

Others just thought that Ashiya Doman was indecisive and couldn't make up his mind. The 100 or so Tsukumogami had already shown disdainful expressions, but Zhang Luo, who was sitting opposite Ashiya Doman, could feel a magical fluctuation being transmitted from the table to the ground in a very covert way.

"Do it!"

Suddenly, Kogumaru's face changed, he shouted, drew out his body and was about to chop towards Ashiya Doman. It was obvious that he had noticed Ashiya Doman's little move.

The nine Tsukumogami nearby saw what Kogumaru did and reacted immediately, ready to take action without hesitation.

Unfortunately, they were all one step too late.

The earth began to shake. Except for the one or two square meters where Zhang Luo and Ashiya Doman were, the surrounding ground shook at a speed visible to the naked eye. The houses and yards collapsed, exposing more than 20 Tsukumogami hiding in all directions.

It seems that Ashiya Doman is really respected. This is equivalent to a first-rate heroic spirit. The formation of more than 30 second-rate heroic spirits is enough to capture a modern city.

Cracks covered the land within a radius of 100 meters, and then the cracked land suddenly disappeared. Kogumaru and other Fusangshen felt their feet drop empty and were suppressed by the powerful gravity that followed.

With a loud rumbling sound, ten giant dragons made of rock and earth suddenly rose from the ground a hundred meters away and crashed directly into a bottomless pit.

Chapter 162: Red Lotus, Yatagarasu, and Three-legged Crow

Ten seconds later, Zhang Luo and Ashiya Doman had just reached the halfway point of the mountain when they heard a loud roar coming from behind and the rocks under their feet were shaking.

"Crazy Red Lotus! Roaring Wave!"

With a roar, a golden energy wave rose from behind and rushed into the sky.

A lion-like spirit beast with three rows of twelve eyes and a tail made up of countless snakes leaped up from the place where the energy wave erupted and pounced towards where Zhang Luo and Ashiya Doman were. Dozens of Tsukumogami were sitting on its body. The terrifying murderous intent and the sharp aura of swords spread from the air, condensing into a substantial force that enveloped the spirit beast. Wherever it passed, there was a pile of debris, and nothing could be preserved intact.

On the other side of the mountain, one can feel tens of thousands of evil demons rushing upwards, led by more than a dozen first-level great monsters, Fusangshen.

Ashiya Michiman's face turned ugly. There were wolves in front and tigers behind. I'm afraid this time it won't end well.

He stopped and reached out to pick a leaf from the tree next to him. After carefully studying it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Di Shanqian?"

Ashiya Michiman said in surprise, although he used a leaf, with his ability, the hexagram would not deviate too much, so what was going on?

Although Ashiya Doman had nothing else to do, he still had confidence in himself. He turned his gaze towards Zhang Luo. Given the current situation, could the person who could turn the situation around be this foreign visitor whom he had not fully understood?

"what happened?"

Seeing that Ashiya Daoman was not moving, Zhang Luo also stopped and asked.

"There is no way to escape. Does Mr. Luo have any countermeasures?" Ashiya Doman asked back.

"Yes, I have quite a few Shikigami, and all of them are stronger than big monsters. It is not a big problem to defeat this group of Tsukumogami. But I still don't know if the other party has more troops. Otherwise, it will be bad to be trapped here." Zhang Luo calculated the number of heroic spirits that he could summon and the number of heroic spirits that his magic power could support to fight with all his strength, and then he said.

Currently, the Heroic Spirits that can be summoned include five monster-type Heroic Spirits: Tamamono-neko, Ibaraki-douji, Shuten-douji, Gyobu-hime, and Kiyohime; three samurai-type Heroic Spirits: Sakura Saber, Ushiwakamaru, and Miyamoto Musashi. There are a total of eight Japanese Heroic Spirits that have local fame bonuses, regional bonuses, and can perform beyond their normal capabilities; as well as some foreign Heroic Spirits that consume a lot of mana but perform normally; and one Heroic Spirit suspected to be Sengo Muramasa.

Foreign Heroic Spirits were out of the question. Samurai Heroic Spirits weren't suited to this kind of melee, while Yokai's extraordinary strength and transformation abilities were perfect for this kind of protracted battle. It was a shame that Princess Gyoubu's Noble Phantasm couldn't be used in the mountains, and Princess Kiyohime's basic stats were too weak. So, let's just send the three of them out this time. Adding myself in Sengo Muramasa's form and the great Onmyoji Ashiya Doman should be enough.

When Zhang Luo was considering the choice of the heroic spirit to fight, Ashiya Doman also made his decision: "Let's do it this way, fight our way out first to avoid being surrounded and killed."

"Those approaching battle, all must march in formation! Shuten-douji, Ibaraki-douji, Tamamono-neko, reveal your true forms, and act as ordered!"

Zhang Luo made hand gestures and chanted the spell to summon the Shikigami.

Under Ashiya Michiman's shocked gaze, three young girls appeared in front of Zhang Luo in the light.

"Master, are you summoning me to fight?"

"Are we going to start looting?"

"One of Tamamo's Nine-Tailed Beasts—the wild fox Tamamo-nyan—appears! Master, please give the orders."

"The enemy is a Tsukumogami who has fallen into the evil demon. Break through or fight, it's your choice." Zhang Luo gave the order concisely and clearly, then took a step forward with great exhaustion, took off his belt, tied up Shuten-doji's open coat, and covered Shuten-doji's exposed body.

"The master still dotes on me as always. If it's a Tsukumogami, then it must have many rare treasures." Shuten-doji spread out his hands and let Zhang Luo do what he wanted. The charming and sweet girl's voice made people intoxicated.

"Well, they are all very famous swords." Zhang Luo's tone became much gentler. Although he was a master, he was inevitably influenced by Shuten-doji.

"As a ghost, you're supposed to plunder! Isn't that natural?"

"If they are enemies, then let them experience the Tamamo Hell!"

Tamamo-nyan and Ibaraki-douji also made remarks that were expected, after all, they are monsters and demons.

The three little girls exuded an aura far beyond that of ordinary big monsters. In Ashiya Doman's cognition, not talking about appearance, but only looking at the demonic aura, the demonic aura of these three little girls was exactly the same as that of the three big monsters he had seen before.

What on earth is going on? First, there's little Karasuma who traveled through time and space, and then there are three little girls who have the same aura as the three great monsters but different appearances.

Ashiya Michiman felt that in all his years of life, today was the day he was most shocked.

"Eh? Isn't this Master Doman? Could it be that this is the Heian Period?"

Shuten-doji soon noticed that there was an Onmyoji next to him who was no weaker than himself. Turning his head, he immediately recognized Ashiya Doman. After all, he was one of the only two Onmyojis worthy of attention in that era.

"Is it an enemy?"

Ibaraki Douji followed Shuten Douji's gaze, and flames appeared on his two devil hands. He spoke excitedly, his murderous intent not concealed at all.

"Meow! If you dare to hurt my master, I will kill you!" Under the influence of Ibaraki Douji, Tamamo the cat also bared its teeth and claws and screamed at Ashiya Doman.

"Ibaraki, you can't cause trouble for the master." Shuten-doji said lazily.

"Don't mess around, this Master Daoman is not an enemy."

Ibaraki Douji always understood what Shuten Douji said, even though it was just a light sentence, it made Ibaraki Douji put away the fire, and Zhang Luo also stopped Tamamono cat who wanted to take action in time.

"These three are Shuten-douji, Ibaraki-douji, and the fox demon Tamamonomae from Mount Oe. I remember they were all men."

Ashiya Doman did not care about the murderous intent shown by Ibaraki Douji and Tamamono Neko, but looked at Zhang Luo and asked him questions in confusion.

"You should know the saying of the Three Thousand Worlds."

Zhang Luo just said one sentence and Ashiya Doman understood. After all, every Onmyoji is very knowledgeable and talented. The more powerful the Onmyoji, the more profound his knowledge is. Ashiya Doman is naturally no exception.

Zhang Luo only said one sentence, and Ashiya Doman did not continue to ask. After all, even the closest friends have secrets, not to mention that they have only known each other for less than three days, and he himself has a hidden card.

As he was speaking, the Tsukumogami on both sides came closer.

Holding a precious sword, Kokarasuma stood above Ranganren's head, looking coldly at Ashiya Doman.

Because the negotiations had broken down, Kogumaru didn't say anything else. The moment he got close, he jumped up from Ranganren's body, and a blazing flame erupted in the air. A huge crow with three claws wrapped in black flames appeared above Kogumaru's head, and together with Kogumaru, it rushed towards Ashiya Doman.

"Yatagushi? Mr. Luo, leave the little Karasuma to me."

Ashiya Doman recognized the crow that Kokarasuma had transformed into. It was none other than the famous Japanese mythical beast Yatagarasu, also known as the Three-legged Golden Crow, the patron saint of the sun.

"Soul, dragon swims!"

Ashiya Doman shouted loudly, and suddenly a golden mist surged behind him. The mist rolled like a long dragon trying to break free from its restraints, rushing upward madly. Above Ashiya Doman's head, it turned into a three-legged golden crow covered in golden flames, rising into the sky.

The black Yatagarasu and the golden Three-legged Crow were like sworn enemies, launching a fierce attack upon each other as soon as they appeared. Kogarasuma also wielded his sword and slashed at Ashiya Doman. The blade flashed like a streak of lightning across the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared above Ashiya Doman's head. Any magician facing such a blow would have no choice but death.

Chapter 163: The Battle between the Heroic Spirits and the Fusangjin

Kogumaru's slashing speed was so fast that the sharp sword energy had already cut through Ashiya Doman's hat, and a few strands of silver threads floated from Ashiya Doman's head.

However, facing this sword, Ashiya Doman stood there without moving, as if he was frightened and stood there frozen waiting for death to come.

At this moment, Kokarasuma stopped, standing still in mid-air, which was completely inconsistent with Newton's law. He stood still even though the sword in his hand only needed to move forward one millimeter to kill Ashiya Doman.

The next moment, the figures of Kogumaru and Ashiya Doman disappeared at the same time. When they reappeared, they were already in the time-traveling army coming from the foot of the mountain. The distance between the two sides was more than ten meters, and the area was full of time-traveling soldiers.

Kogumaru only felt a flash before his eyes, and Ashiya Doman disappeared, replaced by a time-traveling army as dense as a wave.

Kogumaru's face changed, he did a somersault and stopped attacking, and landed in the middle of the Time Traveling Army. He looked around and found Ashiya Doman ten meters away.

"Good tricks, worthy of you, Master Doman." As Kougamaru said this, he had already turned into a phantom and passed through the gap of the Time March Army, with the bright sword light pointing directly at Ashiya Doman.

"Break the sky! Hurry and obey the order!" Ashiya Doman shouted softly, and made an unknown hand seal with his hand. Four radiant and colorful transparent walls fell from all directions of Ashiya Doman, crushing hundreds of time-traveling soldiers with strong pressure.

The binding method that was transformed into Yin-Yang magic, while retaining the defensive power, increased the restraint on evil spirits and the weight of a city wall. While crushing the enemy, it also blocked Kokarasuma's slash. However, Kokarasuma was no ordinary sword. With the background of the sun goddess Amaterasu, he was the strongest sword in all Japanese history. Although he did not break Ashiya Doman's defense with one sword, he opened a crack on the city wall. Black flames burned on the crack and continued to spread to the surroundings.

"Amaterasu's flame?"

Ashiya Doman frowned, made hand gestures, and tried to dispel the flames on the city wall, but it was ineffective because of the divinity contained in the flames.

"Don't ask about my identity, Doman. Nothing can stop me." Kogumaru slashed down with his sword again. The flame of Amaterasu on the blade exuded a breath of destruction. In just two strokes, a big hole was burned in Ashiya Doman's defense.

However, Ashiya Doman was no pushover. Seeing that Kogumaru still retained the power of Amaterasu, he gave up his defense, stepped on the Yu Steps, and strolled among the Time Traveling Army. No matter how many swords and knives hit him, he still walked on his own, and no one could hurt him.

Among tens of thousands of enemy troops, only Kokarasumaru had the ability to hit Ashiya Doman. However, Ashiya Doman used the cover of tens of thousands of time-traveling troops to restrain Kokarasumaru and prevent him from exerting his full strength. Ashiya Doman, on the other hand, used Yin-Yang magic from time to time to clean up the time-traveling troops, most of which were small monsters at the first level.

"Soul and Dragon Wandering? Forget it, everyone, come on!"

Zhang Luo's gaze swept thoughtfully over the figures of the Three-legged Golden Crow and Ashiya Doman, then fell on the attacking Tsukumogami. Temporarily putting aside unnecessary thoughts, he summoned the power of Sengo Muramasa to inhabit himself, and a demonic sword appeared out of thin air in Zhang Luo's hand.

"I've been waiting for you to say this, sir." Shuten-doji chuckled, the red wine dish in his hand disappeared, and a big sword was held in Shuten-doji's hand.

Then, Shuten Douji disappeared from the spot in an instant. The next second, Shuten Douji appeared under Ran Honglian's neck. He swung the sword in his hand upwards, and in one round, he cut a huge scar on Ran Honglian's neck.

"Roar!!!"

Luan Honglian let out a shrill roar, and his huge body shook violently in pain. Dozens of Fusangshen on his back jumped off his body.

"Hey! Go to hell!"

At the same time, Ibaraki Douji also rushed up, and his fist burning with flames hit Luan Honglian's head fiercely. With just one blow, Luan Honglian's head was smashed into a ball of mud.

After its head was blown up, although Luan Honglian was just a sword spirit, it had no way to survive and could only turn into bits of spirit particles and disappear.

"Nue! You bastard, I, the Lion King, must chop you to death with my own hands to avenge my Nue!" A yellow-haired Tsukumogami holding a black sword appeared at the original position of Ran Honglian, glaring at Ibaraki Douji who had defeated Ran Honglian, and rushed forward with a roar.

"Ha, the Demon-Exorcising Sword, Shuten Doji won't be happy with it, right? Q" Ibaraki Douji's eyes were filled with disdainful murderous intent and he faced the charging Lion King with a fire fist. Before it hit, the scorching demonic fire had already scorched the Lion King's clothes and made his skin extremely dry.

The Lion King couldn't help but slow down. This demonic aura was so strong!

Ibaraki Douji, who was facing the Lion King, noticed the Lion King's hesitation and showed a disdainful sneer on his face. He actually hesitated in the battle. This kind of sword, even if it was not the Demon-Exorcising Sword, was not worthy of Shuten Doji. It was better to melt it.

"Back off! Lion King!"

The white-haired Tsukumogami rushed over from the side, flipped the sword in his hand, and hit the Lion King hard with the back of the sword, knocking him away. He rolled on the ground for several times before standing up.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, it managed to avoid the fate of being melted.

"Lion King, you have become weak. The sword never hesitates in battle." Kogunimaru avoided Ibaraki Douji's attack and shouted angrily to the Lion King.

The Lion King pursed his lips and said nothing, exuding a sense of sadness.

Knowing the reason for the Lion King's fall, Kogunimaru sighed and said nothing more. He turned around and looked at Ibaraki Douji vigilantly.

"Clang Clang Clang!!!"

A few meters away, two figures were fighting in a group. Amidst the flashes of swords and sabers, the two magical weapons kept colliding, making bursts of sounds of breaking through the air and the sound of weapons clashing.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, the battle came to a temporary end. The two figures quickly retreated, leaving more than ten heavy footprints on the ground.

Shuten-douji stood firmly beside Ibaraki-douji, but did not attack immediately. Instead, he wiped the sword in his hand on the ground and tightened his belt which was a little loose.
