The Warrior of Love

"What a strength!"

If you think about it carefully, it seems that Taira Masakado didn't use both hands when he swung the sword before, but this weapon was originally designed to be used with both hands. When Masakado switched modes, his combat effectiveness would naturally double.

"drink!"

The two men brandished their respective magic swords and collided with each other constantly. In the fierce battle, neither was willing to lose the upper hand.

The blade with Ryusaku's domineering aura repeatedly broke through the enemy's defenses, engraved its ferocity on the red armor, and cut the armor and flesh together. But when the blade left, a black mist immediately filled the wound, and it returned to its original state in a moment as if nothing had happened.

Compared to the shadow warrior, the real general obviously has a stronger immortal body!

The vast amount of magic power that exceeds that of ordinary servants allows him to not worry about his injuries and constantly use magic power to heal his wounds. This is an advantage that Jiang Liu does not have, a unique advantage of spirits.

Jiang Liu has the advantage in skills, but Taira no Masakado has an immortal body and no weaknesses, so the battle is going on for a while.

Divine level - Roman's judgment was not wrong, but it was not as exaggerated as imagined.

Because in Japan, the line between gods and monsters is always ambiguous, including divinity. There are many individuals with divinity, but only a few can be called "gods".

You have to know that gods can be strong or weak, and because of Japan's unique Shinto beliefs, there are many gods but their strength is generally weak.

Excluding the direct second-generation gods of Izanagi and his wife, many so-called "gods" are only at the level of fantasy species and mythical beasts.

The Yamata-no-Orochi is much stronger than ordinary mythical beasts, but it cannot be compared with the main god.

(Tamamonomae is special among the monsters. Although the nine-tailed fox is not as good as Yaki in Japanese mythology, the nine-tailed fox is just an image of Tamamonomae. According to Type-Moon, the essence of Migu is the incarnation of the sun god and the personification of the spirit vein, and it can also bear the status of a "beast".)

What's more, Yaqi is still sealed, and the divinity that can be separated is really limited.

It has the appearance of both a demon and a mountain god (Ibuki Daimyojin), and the power it bestows on Taira no Masakado is a mixture of demonic and divine powers. After combining with the dragon factor that Taira no Masakado originally possessed, it grants this demon general an extraordinary spiritual base that surpasses the top servants.

However, if compared with a real god...even if it is just a possessed god, Taira no Masakado is slightly inferior.

Being somewhere between the dead and gods, it might be more appropriate to call him a "ghost".

But even so, his power is far beyond that of ordinary servants.

After switching to holding the sword with both hands, Ping Jiangmen seemed to have untied some restraints. His magic power continued to rise, and his aura became stronger and stronger, even causing Jiang Liu to subconsciously activate his domineering aura to fight against it.

It seemed as if there was no upper limit. The more he fought, the stronger Ping Jiangmen's power became, like endless waves, one stronger than the other. From the beginning, they were evenly matched, but in just five or six breaths, his power rose to the point where he could suppress Jiang Liu head-on.

"Drink!"

The heavy pressure made Jiang Liu feel depressed. Even though he was wearing demon armor and his physical strength had been amplified to an extremely terrifying level, he still felt a mucus-like obstruction when he moved.

"Come on! Break!"

Taira no Masakado raised his two-handed sword high up, and it was as if a silver moon rose in the night sky, and suddenly fell down in a trance.

The turbulent wind pressure cut through the atmosphere, and the actual magical blade seemed to cut through everything in the universe!

Unleashing magic power at the level of a military treasure!

And more than once!

The ghost warrior completely transformed into a machine of destruction. Every time he swung his sword, he would release a wind pressure shock that could easily destroy the terrain. His magic power showed no sign of exhaustion, bringing endless despair to people.

At the edge of the battlefield, Mashu, who was struggling to hold on with a large shield, had to retreat with Ritsuka. Ibaraki and the Black King, who had already picked up Tsuda, did not rashly join the battle.

It’s not that they were afraid, but the fight between the two people really did not allow anyone else to intervene. Maybe they could stop one of them alone, but to enter the center of their collision... would be tantamount to suicide.

Meanwhile, Princess Keibu was desperately trying to save Tsuda, who was almost cut in half. This homely girl burst out with amazing spiritual power at this moment, repairing the damage on the samurai's body bit by bit.

Only the algae girl in shrine maiden costume could intervene in the battle, but she could only cast spells from a distance, casting them on Jiang Liu to reduce the power gap between him and the Heping sect.

With the triple blessing of Haki, Demon Armor, and Algae Girl's Curse, if Jiang Liu's attributes were quantified, they would surpass most servants, and he would definitely be at the top of the TOP (the extraordinary level usually has some kind of killer move or special treasure, not necessarily strong attribute values).

Coupled with his unpredictable swordsmanship, he fought against the opponent despite being immortal and in a frenzy state.

However, if this continues, it will reach its limit sooner or later, and Taira no Masakado's power will increase to a level that Jiang Liu will not be able to resist - after all, he is not a heroic spirit but a mortal body.

"Do you want to release the seal?"

Jiang Liu began to hesitate.

[Hundred-Layered Rashomon A+] is an inherent skill equivalent to self-sealing, which includes all the negative emotions accumulated by Jiang Liu during his thousand-year journey in hell.

This is also the reason why his temperament did not change much after he left hell.

Otherwise, the endless murderous emotion alone would be enough to drive him insane and turn him into a berserker or a killer.

This was actually his greatest gain in hell. Compared to it, neither the advanced domineering power nor the leap in swordsmanship was anything.

The cycle of killing in the Avici Hell gave him a spiritual realm similar to that of Shura... but it was also because of this that he had to be sealed away.

Therefore, when he returned to the world, he only brought his own increased strength, but did not bring back that state.

If he were to be released, Jiang Liu's strength would increase significantly, and he would become the so-called "Ashura". But... Jiang Liu was not sure if he could control himself in time.

As a cautious person by nature, Jiang Liu is very disgusted with power that he cannot control, and he always takes the attitude of not using such unpredictable things if possible.

He's not a chuunibyou, and he doesn't think things like "Monster, it's time to pay the rent" are cool - having a foreign object hidden in the body is obviously creepy!

"In that case——"

Taking a deep breath, Liuying struck out with great force, forcibly widening the distance between him and General Heping. Jiang Liu's eyes turned cold.

Sinking into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, the darkness that was trapped in heavy constraints would be led out. Even a part of it would be filthy enough to lead people to depravity.

"Limited Expansion o Five-Layer Rashomon!"

Ka-

The chains broke, the reins of reason were released, the soul of killing instantly occupied the entire sea of ​​consciousness, and the silent "Original Book of All Things" was also opened and stopped at a certain page.

Click, click, click…

It's just like broken crystal. Personality, spirit, soul... everything becomes extremely fragile in this endless impact.

This aura even left the body and affected the external material world. The entire bamboo forest was shrouded in blood. Both the Black King and the Algae Girl turned pale. Ibaraki, who was originally a ghost, had red eyes and seemed like he would lose his mind at any time.

The pain, the agony – it’s hard to describe with words.

It's a torture that goes beyond the physical level and directly stimulates the soul!

"Have I ever endured these things?"

In a trance, Jiang Liu even admired his past self and had no idea how he had persisted.

"One second!"

He only has one second before the chains must be re-tied. If he exceeds this period of time, he will risk completely losing his mind, and then he will not be able to come back!

"Immortal Slash——"

Resentment, murderous intent, madness... negative emotions formed tangible energy and transformed into dark red mist that enveloped Jiang Liu's entire body, just like the legendary Shura.

No, even the real evil ghost Rakshasa would tremble in front of Jiang Liu at this moment!

Shura with one sword!

The devilish sword cut through the sky and the night, easily breaking the magic power wrapped around Taira no Masakado's body. Even his immortal body made of steel seemed as fragile as glass.

Ka-

The ghost's body and the two-handed sword broke together and slowly fell to the ground.

Chapter 143: Temporary Rest

"Ahhh, I, I can't control myself!"

"Brother, brother! No, if this goes on, brother will die!"

"Quick, use the strongman lock, no, the bite attack, hug him and kiss him, so that the power can be sealed in you!"

——It’s a pity that this scene did not happen.

The protagonist goes berserk, and then the heroine sacrifices herself to calm the berserker's rage, but such a traditional development did not happen to Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu, who had been prepared, relied on his remaining rationality to seal the Shura state in time after killing Taira Masakado, and with layer upon layer of chains, he was firmly bound in the black box called the subconscious.

Although it almost got out of control from the beginning to the end, it did not really go out of control.

Different from those male protagonists in hot-blooded comics who can use cheats to solve all problems, Jiang Liu is a mature man who will not act so recklessly. He was mentally prepared before unlocking the seal, and finally did not hurt his companions.

However, because of this, he never received any passionate kisses from any young girls - which was quite a pity.

Not to mention Jiang Liu's thoughts, after killing Taira Masakado, the opponent's body was bathed in flames and turned into black mist and dissipated, leaving only a gem between his eyebrows.

"What is this?" Jiang Liu picked up the gem and looked at it with a frown.

“Dragon’s blood…”

The Black King suddenly spoke: "If this guy is also the son of the dragon, then his immortality can be understood... This is the source of his power, like his second heart."

"heart?"

"It should have been hidden in the heart like the Servant's soul core, but it seems that he is not "complete", so the vital part is exposed."

I thought it was just a decoration, but it turned out to be internal organs - Jiang Liu had a subtle expression.

By the way, this thing grows outside... So Taira no Masakado is actually a "freak"?

According to legend, only the center of the eyebrows was not licked, so it was a weak point. But in fact, the "heart" grew outside, becoming the only flaw of the immortal body.

Myths are really unreliable!

With the thought that "I might need it someday", Jiang Liu put it away.

At the same time, the demon armor was automatically removed, and with a sound of metal collision, it turned into a rectangular box again and was carried on Jiang Liu's back.

After taking a look at Tsuda, who was receiving treatment from Princess Xingbu and was basically out of danger, Jiang Liu nodded, then suddenly looked somewhere.

"Why, don't you want to fight?"

Everyone looked over there at the same time, and saw a scantily clad figure appear in a place where there was no one before.

"Sir Shuten-doji."

"Ahhhh, this is really a headache."

Shuten smiled seductively and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "With so many people coming together, I can't handle it——"

"Uh……"

"what happened?"

The corners of Lixiang's eyes couldn't help but twitch: "I feel uncomfortable for some reason."

"This is just female instinct."

Algae Girl stared at Shuten with full vigilance: "As a good wife and mother, I am deeply aware of how dangerous the woman in front of me is."

"But it's okay!"

Li Xiang encouraged herself: "Although my brother is very lustful, he will never be interested in the body of a loli."

Jiang Liu: “…”

What on earth did these guys think of him? A creature who wanted to have sex with pretty women and thought with his lower body?

The sword in Jiang Liu's hand pointed diagonally at the ground, and he was ready for battle.

"Stop playing tricks. Since you didn't run away, what do you want to do?"

"I want to surrender."

Shuten glanced at Ibaraki and his smile grew even brighter.

"You don't seem to be that annoying, do you?"

-

No one expected that one of the Four Heavenly Kings could be subdued so easily. Jiang Liu and others had their doubts, but Shuten gave a very convincing reason.

"If this continues, I will be devoured by my 'father' sooner or later."

She said: "To break free from the shackles of the earth and to be resurrected from a distant myth is definitely not an easy task. In addition to a large amount of resentment, a "sample" is also required."

The sample is the medium of flesh and blood.

The resentment generated by humans is just energy, which cannot meet all the conditions for resurrection. At least some flesh and blood that has a causal connection with the Yamata no Orochi is needed as a sacrifice to truly resurrect him.

Just like the eight maidens in mythology, the Yamata-no-Orochi is a being that plunders lives to feed itself.

With this premise, Shuten naturally understood her dangerous situation, and she had not made up her mind to resist. After all, death was not something that was difficult for her to accept, not to mention that she was already a heroic spirit, and the so-called death was just the beginning of the next reincarnation.
