"Look how scared you are. Just wait here, I'll go and take care of him right now."

It tore off its mask, revealing a strangely handsome face, and leaped out of the window...

......

On the other side, Morikawa Yu turned her head to look in the direction of the building in the distance.

He had sensed a faint gaze from the beginning, and now he saw that the area was shrouded in a bluish-black mist.

Suddenly, the mist swirled, and a gigantic figure landed on the ground and slowly walked out.

It was a demon as tall as a three-story building, with bluish-black skin, bulging muscles, and two horns on its head. It also carried a bone knife that was taller than itself on its shoulder, with dark black flames burning on the blade.

A bluish-black mist surrounded its entire body, with only its eyes shining with a scorching red light.

He couldn't help but think of the blue demon who had just overdrawn his life force.

After using the secret technique, it came close to becoming a great demon, but even so, it was like a weak child in front of this evil spirit.

“Miss Fujiwara, and these two lovely ladies, please move away from here.” Morikawa Yu turned to look at Fujiwara Shiori, Shino, and Maka.

He knew without even thinking that the evil spirit was coming for him.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have waited until I arrived before appearing.

"Yes." Fujiwara Shiori nodded, the anger still simmering in her heart, making her appear exceptionally furious.

"But please be careful, Mr. Morikawa."

“I’ve seen its appearance in the family records. It is the oni general, Aohara, who is by the side of the Abe family’s ancestral deity, Seiro.”

Is he a demon general serving the household god?

Morikawa Yu looked at the dark blue-green demon walking towards them from a distance.

It carried a huge bone knife, walking between the buildings on both sides, completely occupying the wide road. Black mist drifted around it, and its face was faintly visible under the mist, revealing a ferocious and monstrous face.

Pedestrians and vehicles on the road passed under it as if it didn't exist, but after it passed, everyone shrouded in fog shivered.

He looks... kind of handsome, but not as handsome as me.

Morikawa Yu took out a golden amulet from the Goshuincho in his bosom, flicked it to his side with one hand, and lightly slashed with Mikazuki, causing dazzling golden ripples to spread around him.

—Blocked Area!

A golden domain descended, spreading outwards and enveloping even the demon general Qingyuan.

It stopped in its tracks, gave a mocking laugh, put down the bone knife it was carrying on its shoulder, raised it towards him, and grinned.

“Miss Fujiwara.” Morikawa Yu looked at Fujiwara Shiori again.

“I did not use a domain to lock onto your presence, so you can leave directly.”

Shiori Fujiwara nodded.

Knowing she couldn't participate in a battle of that level, she turned to look at Fujiwara Shino and Tokugawa Maka.

"Let's go, Shino, Jasmine."

"Leave this to Mr. Morikawa. Let's go over there and look for Abe Kyusaku. He should be nearby."

"In addition, report this matter to the family and the shrine."

"The Abe family's demon general has appeared, so the Abe family must have some other plans. This matter is not so simple."

Fujiwara Shino released her sister and nodded together with Tokugawa Maka.

She followed her sister as they evacuated outside, then turned back to look at Morikawa Yu with a worried, hesitant expression.

The young man who appeared just now saved her sister, for which she was very grateful.

Now they have to ask him to deal with Aohara, the demon general of the Abe family.

She had heard from her elders that the other party was a terrifying demon, highly trusted by Qingluo, the leader of the demon clan, who appointed him as a general of the demon clan and the family's guardian deity. He was far from being a match for her.

Although the opponent's rank is lower than that of the household god and that Qingluo master, he is still quite powerful.

Mr. Morikawa... is he really capable of handling this?

She clenched her left hand, only to find that Morikawa Yu smiled at her, giving her a reassuring look.

He sheathed Mikazuki at his left waist, took out Tsurumaru and slung it at his waist as well. A gentle breeze wafted around him, and his trench coat fluttered slightly.

Aohara also put down his bone knife.

The mist on its body suddenly spread, and it charged forward on the black mist. In a few breaths, it passed through the path between itself and others, raised its bone-chopping knife, forced aside the gale, and slashed down horizontally.

clang! ! !

The sound of blades clashing echoed instantly within the domain, transforming into visible shockwaves that spread outwards.

Fujiwara Shino's eyes widened.

Morikawa Yu remained standing in place, without retreating, but simply raised his katana, which gleamed with a clear light.

Compared to Qingyuan's enormous giant form, his figure was incredibly small, as if he would be crushed at any moment. But he stood there, while Qingyuan was stunned and unable to move an inch.

Shino breathed a sigh of relief, looking at his upright figure, and suddenly felt a strange sense of peace.

But she immediately realized that her thoughts were not quite right, her face flushed, and she followed her sister and Mo Xiang.

......

"Hmph, you're quite good as a human for being able to withstand one of my blows."

Standing still, Aohara raised his cleaver, looked down at Morikawa Yu, grinned, and revealed sharp teeth that gleamed coldly.

"Some of your human swordsmen have fought me, but apart from a few truly powerful individuals, none of them are my match."

"If you were a few hundred years ago, you might have become a formidable figure."

"Why do you say it was hundreds of years ago?" Morikawa Yu frowned.

"Because apart from the Gods, you humans haven't had any decent strong individuals for a long time." Qingyuan laughed even more unrestrainedly.

"It's already a miracle that you've become a swordsman. It's impossible for you to go any further!"

Looking at its arrogant demeanor, Morikawa Yu really wanted to remind it that it was already a great swordsman.

But seeing how happy it was, he decided to let it be happy a little longer and ask it some more questions.

"Alright, then let's pretend I can't go any further." Morikawa Yu raised Mikazuki, and then, sensing Tsurumaru's slightly aggrieved cry, pulled it out as well and held it in his hand.

"Was it you who caused what happened just now?"

"What happened just now? You mean you released the evil spirits to attack those children, causing that good-for-nothing Blue Oni to become consumed by hatred, exhausting his life force to kill that little girl from the Fujiwara family?"

Qingyuan narrowed his eyes, and the red light in his gaze suddenly blazed.

"That's right, that was indeed my plan."

"As you've probably sensed, the current situation in Kyoto is one of pent-up tensions, with no clear direction."

“Although our Abe family is one of the three great families recognized by His Highness the Shinto priest, we have always been targeted by the Fujiwara and Tokugawa families.”

“One of them is an ancient imperial family, and the other is the shogunate lord before the fall of the shogunate. They are both true upper-class families. Only our Abe family is different. We are an anomaly that climbed up from the lower-class minor nobles.”

“They don’t like us, which is not good.”

"So, I want to introduce a little change into it."

"Whether things become chaotic or remain deadlocked, it is an opportunity for our Abe family."

"Even if the price is that your Abe family's young master, Abe Keiichi, dies without a complete corpse, and that the Blue Demon you used dies with his eyes wide open in disbelief?" Morikawa Yu stared intently at Aohara.

He originally thought that Abe Kyusaku was the one plotting behind the scenes, but he didn't expect that the real culprit was Aohara in front of him, and Abe Kyusaku was just his accomplice.

He thought of the Green Demon's anger before his death, and an unspeakable rage rose in his heart.

"Of course! Their sacrifice was for the greater good! For the glory of their family!" Qingyuan laughed heartily, his arrogance unrestrained.

As for you... you will die here!

"Kyoto is the Kyoto of us Kyoto people. You, a guy from Tokyo, would be better off dead!"

"What a noble cause! What a glorious family!" Morikawa Yu raised Tsurumaru, and the wind instantly erupted, the air surged, and a gale swept up everything around.

"Today I'll kill you and see who dies here!"

"You? A mere human, yet you dare to spout such nonsense..." Qingyuan said, then suddenly his gaze turned to astonishment, and he could no longer continue.

This human's aura... seems a bit off.

It had only seen this oppressive sword aura from a few great swordsmen, and without exception, they all lost miserably and never won.

There was a guy named Kamiizumi Nobutsuna who almost killed it.

No... We can't win, it's better to retreat.

"Um, I suddenly remembered something very important. We'll fight another time." Qingyuan said, shouldering his bone knife and turning to leave.

It had just taken a step and quickened its pace when it suddenly heard Morikawa Yu's voice in its ear.

What's wrong? Tell me about it too.

He flashed to its shoulder, sneered, and tapped its demon horn with Tsurumaru.

"Hmm? Go ahead and say something? Why did you stop talking?"

Qingyuan's expression changed drastically. He opened the claws of his left hand and slapped his own shoulder.

Morikawa Yu met its huge hand with a swift, horizontal slash!

—Steel-Cutting Flash!

A flash of cold light, the blade sliced ​​through, its wrist instantly split open, its arm slammed into its chest, and its hand flew off.

Looking at the severed hand in his line of sight, Qingyuan suddenly felt a pang of regret.

I'm so stupid, really.

I only knew that he was a swordsman who was favored by His Highness the God, but I never expected that he would go even further and become a great swordsman.

Didn't they say there were no more swordsmen after the end of the Edo period?

Where did he come from?

Those incompetent idiots in the family who gather intelligence! How come they didn't even know he'd become a great swordsman?!

How did they gather this intelligence? They might as well all commit seppuku and apologize!

Chapter 236 The power of this sword grows stronger with each strike (4500 words)

That guy, Abe Kyusaku, didn't even bother to give me a proper talking-to or tell me to be careful.

Qingyuan thought with regret, feeling annoyed.

Sen Chuanyu stared at its expression, snorted coldly, stepped off its shoulder, and leaped onto its head.

This demon general was taller than a three-story building, and with its head and horns, it was large enough for him to stand on.

Sensing Morikawa Yu's movements, Aohara shook his head frantically.

Because he was right above it, it didn't dare to use its own weapon to hit him. It wanted to grab him with its hands, but it was afraid of losing another hand. It just hoped to shake him off in this way.

Despite Aohara's efforts, Morikawa Yu remained standing on its head.

Holding his twin swords, he silently pondered how to deal with Qingyuan.

It orchestrated today's events, leading to the deaths of Abe Keiichi and Ao Oni, and even arrogantly appeared, wanting to kill itself.

Now that I'm in control, there's no reason for me to let it go.

Whether it's to uphold justice for the Blue Demon or to eliminate future troubles, it should be executed!

He looked down at Aohara and gripped the hilt of Tsurumaru's sword tightly.

Qingyuan sensed his emotions and suddenly shouted.

"Die, human!"

It lowered its head and twisted its body, then crashed violently into the building next to it. Its long horns and the top of its head instantly sank into the wall, propelling it forward. Smoke and dust billowed, and the building collapsed.

Morikawa Yu had already reacted, landing on the ground with her trench coat fluttering slightly.

Aohara also broke free, scanning the ground for Morikawa Yu's figure.
