The Warrior of Love

"I hope my brother and the others are safe..."

"It's okay, Senior." Mashu held Ritsuka's hand, "Trust Mr. Jiang Liu, he is your elder brother. He has fought with the Yamata no Orochi before. With so many people helping this time, he will be fine."

"hope so……"

Ah Rong looked into the depths of the forest and murmured, "A mythical battle, isn't it? I really hope to witness it if possible. If I could experience it in person, even I would be able to draw works that surpass my father's."

"That may not be the case, my foolish daughter."

At the cold voice, Mashu and Ritsuka turned around in surprise, while Arong showed a shocked expression.

"Father...how could it be?"

"Father?"

Li Xiang was stunned: "He is Arong's father? He... doesn't look like him!"

Yes, the two don't look alike.

However, it is more than just "not similar". Arong is beautiful and lovely, a standard beautiful girl, but Katsushika Hokusai looks haggard, like a walking corpse, and for some reason he exudes an evil aura that makes people feel scared.

"Father, are you okay? I hope those monsters didn't do anything to you!" A Rong asked anxiously.

Hokusai seemed to not understand for a moment, and tilted his head, looking very slow: "Me? Monster? Oh, you are talking about this... Hehe... My silly daughter, how could a father be threatened by those small fry, and besides, they were originally my creations."

"What?! Why would father do such a thing?"

"My daughter, you can't understand. The ultimate goal of art is not to create works that are recognized by the world, but to create something that can shock the world itself, something that is unique and even eternal, "I am the only one"!"

Hokusai laughed and said, "It will be done soon. As long as the world falls into darkness, demons and ghosts run rampant, the human restraint defense line is collapsed, the old order is broken, and the new god will come.

And when they arrive, I will witness everything and create an unprecedented and unique great work in the world and the universe!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, father!"

Ah Rong became angry: "I don't know what you are thinking, but in short, you are confused. Miss Fujimaru, Miss Mashu, and Fufu-san, please give my father a good beating and make him wake up!"

"it is good!"

"give it to me!"

"Fu——"

-

"Sure enough, it's not that simple."

Deep in the mountains, Shuten and Tsuda, who were in charge of the infiltration operation, encountered unexpected obstacles.

They were giant snakes, or "dragons," coiled on trees and rocks. They were not of the same level as the Hundred Ghosts, but more elite monsters. Each one was no weaker than a subspecies like the Wyvern, and some were even stronger!

These numerous giant snakes together formed a magical defense line, blocking the cave leading to Yaqi's body layer by layer.

"It seems that father is more cautious than us. Judging from the scale... he has been preparing for my rebellion for a long time." Shuten laughed.

Tsuda held the newly acquired sword, feeling the center of gravity and the feel of it when swinging.

Although it is slightly "shorter" than his previous sword, it is actually a standard katana, and it is imbued with mystery, and can easily kill evil spirits.

For a swordsman of his level, he can wield any weapon with ease and his combat effectiveness will not be affected.

"It doesn't matter. They are just some long insects. They are no better than swallows. Why should we be afraid? Just keep moving forward!"

Chapter 146: Let’s Play!

"Impossible! I've done my best, why did it turn out like this?"

The huge snake head lifted the ground and slowly stretched towards the sky. There was a cold but confused look in the eyes of the Yamata no Orochi.

"Why was that human able to survive? The curse shouldn't be so easy to resolve even with the help of God... Eh? That woman... Damn it! It's a stinky fox!

Although the atmosphere is a little different, it is indeed that stinky fox! Damn it, I actually met her clone in this era? ! "

The roar like a dragon's roar shook the mountains and fields. The Yamata-no-Orochi broke free of all its heads, and the earth broke apart. The strong wind pressure blew away the forest directly, and countless big trees broke and fell down, turning the originally dense forest into "flat land".

"Tamamonomae, do you want to be my enemy? But even if it's you, a mere tail, you want to -"

"EXcalibur Morgan!"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!"

The dark aurora swallowed up one of the snake's heads, almost charring it with skin and bones. The immense pain interrupted Yaqi's harsh words.

"Agility, strength, poison immunity, luck, my husband, you have been strengthened, come on!"

"Demon Armor o Release!"

"Run, Bushfire!"

"Orochi, you fugitive, why don't you surrender quickly? I will let you see the power of Yan Mo's divine sword!"

"So, so big... Woo, I want to go home..."

Ignoring a certain discordant coward, Jiang Liu and the others didn't even exchange pleasantries with the Yamata-no-Orochi. While it had just broken free from the ground and hadn't recovered yet, they launched a fierce attack directly on the eight snake heads.

"How dare you!"

A huge amount of magic power surged out, dispelling the light of the holy sword. The injured head of the Yamata no Orochi was revealed, almost burnt, but also looking extremely hideous.

"In that case, then you can die!"

The deep black color spread out with the Yamata no Orochi as the center, instantly covering the entire mountain range, swallowing up Jiang Liu and others.

This is not a real substance, but simply "no light".

The sun cannot be seen in the sky from the inside, only endless and deep darkness. The demonic energy suppressed by the scorching sun has become stronger again - this is the territory of the Yamata no Orochi.

"You first, human!"

"Both have dragon and snake bloodlines? Interesting!"

"Yan Mo's daughter, haha, just a little devil like you?"

"Damn stinky fox!"

"Ghost boy? I'll deal with you."

"You... forget it, get out of here. I'm too lazy to kill you. Go back to your lair."

As soon as the melee began, the advantages of the Yamata no Orochi were revealed. Each snake head had its own special abilities, and even if they were shared among everyone, there would still be some left over... not to mention that not everyone had the ability to fight the Yamata no Orochi one-on-one.

Then naturally, someone with outstanding strength like Jiang Liu would have to share more of the burden. In fact, the Yamata no Orochi's main focus was indeed on him.

But things are different now. In the previous battle, Jiang Liu had to risk his life to summon the mecha god in order to confront one of Yaqi's heads head on, but now he can easily handle the siege of three heads.

First of all, it is the pinnacle of three-color domineering.

The Observation Haki can foresee the situation. With a body size like Yaki, there is no possibility of misjudgment or change of tactics. It is much easier to predict than Taira Masakado.

The domineering Haki prevents Jiang Liu from being affected by Yaqi's pressure, allowing him to exert his full strength and not fall into the predicament of being a "mosquito trapped in amber" like last time.

As for the armament color, it is the basis for Jiang Liu to be so calm. After reaching the "Ryu Sakura" realm, the domineering aura that is enough to cover the whole body makes Jiang Liu have a high tolerance rate and he will not lose his combat effectiveness just because of being touched by Yaki's attack.

Even more, that skill of releasing domineering power from a distance can allow Jiang Liu to gain the ability to turn in the air!

Secondly, it is the powerful spells of Zaonv and Xingbuji.

There is no need to say much about Zao Nu. Even if she only has one tail, her spiritual power exceeds that of many big monsters. Moreover, her followers come from the Celestial Empire, and her knowledge of magic is greater than that of Yaqi's curse, which allows Jiang Liu to maintain a perfect state.

As for Princess Xingbu...even though she is indeed cowardly, she is actually a being close to a god. In terms of spiritual power alone, her spiritual power is even greater than that of the current Zao Nu!

It may not be of any use in battle, but it can be used as a power bank for Heiwang, Jiangliu, Ibaraki and others.

Otherwise, if it was all up to Ritsuka, he would have drained the black-haired girl countless times...

"Damn it, damn it!"

Yaqi roared: "Running around like a rat, damn it!"

Suddenly, the three snake heads stopped moving and stared at Jiang Liu from different angles. Their three blood-red vertical pupils suddenly expanded.

"Turn into a stone statue!"

Invisible magic power swept through the space, locked onto Jiang Liu's body, and chains of spell power suddenly descended.

The curse of petrification - the most famous one should be the Gorgon Medusa, but this is not the curse that relies on "eye contact" or "face to face" in mythology. In fact, it can be activated by just locking eyes.

This also means an almost 100% hit rate, with no chance of misses.

Medusa's petrifying eyes are enough to ignore attributes and Noble Phantasms, and instantly kill targets with magic power (or anti-magic power) below B level. It is a Noble Phantasm that is close to an instant death attack, but the Yamata no Orochi's curse is even worse than that!

The so-called "Yamata no Jutsu" refers to the eight "personalities" possessed by the Yamata no Orochi, each of which draws out a blessing from the Earth Mother Goddess from the memory bank of the earth.

When choosing abilities, Yaqi didn't really pick one for each head to get all eight abilities - it's not like he was playing a collecting card game.

Three of the heads chose "Petrification". Although the abilities were duplicated in nature, their power would be added to an unimaginable level when activated!

hum-

There was no way to dodge it. The cursed gaze swept across Jiang Liu in an instant, turning him and everything around him, whether it was trees or soil, into gray-white rocks.

Against magic, domineering, divinity... Even with so much resistance bonus, Jiang Liu's body is turning gray at a speed visible to the naked eye -

"Water and sky, sunlight, Tensho, Hachiya-sama!"

A pleasant female voice sang a spell, and a shining light descended from the sky and shone on Jiang Liu, dispelling the ominous curse.

At the same time, Jiang Liu felt his body was more comfortable than ever before, his magic power was abundant, and even his attribute values ​​seemed to have reached a higher level.

"Phew, luckily we made it..." The fox-eared witch held a gorgeous ancient mirror and sighed with relief.

This mirror was not originally her Noble Phantasm, but belonged to another "Tamamonomae". However, perhaps due to cause and effect, after she was summoned to this era, she was inexplicably granted this Noble Phantasm.

However, the effect is discounted when the treasure is released. It was originally supposed to be a barrier-type treasure with an anti-military range, but now it can only be effective against Jiang Liu alone.

But this was enough for the Algae Girl.

"Sakura-"

His emotions were extremely high, and with the swelling "qi" in his body and the sacred sunlight that had not yet dissipated, Jiang Liu covered the dark Undead Slash with a layer of tangible domineering aura.

“Slay the dragon!!”

A domineering wind pressure several times stronger than the last time shot out, piercing through one of the vertical pupils of the Yamata no Orochi amidst a piercing atmospheric wail.

"Hoohoho-"

The earth shook and the giant snake let out a terrible roar, but Jiang Liu's attack did not end.

"I don't care about my life——"

The swordsman leaped high, as agile as an eagle and as fast as thunder.

"Double Dragon Slash!"

It was still Sakura Ryu's powerful wind pressure, but this time it split into two after being shot out, each hitting a different target, blinding Yaki's two eyes again.

"Eyes! My eyes! Aaaaahh ...

Yaqi opened his huge snake mouth: "Don't underestimate me, human!"

call!

Purple mist spewed out, red flames swept across the sky and earth, and the instantaneous lightning was dazzling and blinding - the three snake heads released different attacks, but they all swept across Jiang Liu's location at the same time.

Boom! !

"Don't be impatient, snake!"

From the flashing flames, a dark and nimble figure leaped out into the air.

Sakura flow o King Kong!

The demon's armor vibrated, achieving perfect synchronization with his body, and the domineering aura that took shape solidified on his fist. This punch hit the center of the snake's head hard, and the huge impact force was released in an instant, knocking it to the ground.

Sakura flow o King Kong!

"Let's have some fun!"

Chapter 147: The Holy Grail!

Ryuo, this was originally the name given to "high-level Armament Haki" by the samurai of Wano Country in the world of "One Piece". Reaching this level means that the Armament Haki can be released from the body to form a substantial shock wave, and is no longer limited to the strengthening effect on matter.

However, Jiang Liu's "Ryu Sakura" is not exactly the same as that.
