Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Chapter 220 Onmyoji's Natural Enemy

The killing tonight is destined not to be easily stopped.

Bai Yu remained silent and still maintained the identity of a spectator.

This time, he did not interfere with Amamiya Mahiru.

In the process of weaving fate, the editor only needs to tamper with the most critical nodes, and there is no need to waste energy.

Amamiya Ryuji wanted to say something, but he heard Amamiya Mahiru say, "Uncle, can I ask you a favor?"

"...You say." Amamiya Ryuji said.

"Open a way out of here for us..." Amamiya Mahiru said. "Leave this Onmyoji to me."

Amamiya Ryuji made a prompt decision: "Okay!"

If it were before, he would have hesitated, but after seeing his niece's swordsmanship with his own eyes, there was no reason for him to refuse. Although an Onmyoji was dangerous, if they couldn't break the barrier, neither of them could escape.

It doesn't matter if I die, but I must not implicate her.

When Ryuji Amamiya held the sword and walked towards the main entrance of the gym.

Mahiru also opened her eyes and completely locked onto the Onmyoji's location.

I wonder if this young genius, Kamoqiao Long, ever felt a little frightened, secretly regretting that he should not have appeared in the front stage so early.

He originally thought that the fisherman would benefit from the conflict between the snipe and the clam, but what he could see were two swordsmen who had almost exhausted all their strength.

But I never thought that Amamiya Mahiru is still in her prime.

"You want to kill me."

Kamo Bridge Dragon released his right hand, commanded the Shikigami on his shoulder, and coldly spat out a few words: "Strangle her, Kamaitachi!"

In an instant, a strong wind blew in the air. The sound of the wind was biting and accompanied by a sharp roar. It was not strong, but it was very sharp.

Even water, even wind, once the flow rate is fast enough, it can become a sword that can cut through everything.

Amamiya Mahiru raised her sword to defend herself, and the wind blade in mid-air was cut off by her.

The kamaitachi nimbly moved around and attacked, but none of its attacks could hurt her body.

After several unsuccessful attempts, the Onmyoji changed his tactics and silently performed Onmyoji techniques, using his spiritual power to enhance the Kamaitachi's physical strength while releasing its demonic power.

At this time, even the broken sound of wind in the air disappeared. It completely disappeared into the flowing wind and disappeared without a trace.

Kamaitachi is a monster that controls the wind. After signing a contract, it becomes a shikigami that can be driven... Among the many shikigami, it is also one with very unique characteristics.

The Kamohashi Dragon controls the Kamaitachi, a second-level monster... that is, a second-level extraordinary creature. In Fuso, if it is a third-level monster, it can already bear incense and be revered as a local land god.

The second-level sickle-itachi is extremely rare. Once it dives into the wind, it becomes almost invisible. It is invisible, fast, and sharp... These many characteristics make it extremely popular among Onmyojis.

The Yin Yang Master sneered, "The swordsman's heart-to-heart state is completely vulnerable in front of me!"

Fuso's second extraordinary realm of swordsmanship is called Tongxin.

It usually refers to opening the mind, and being of the same mind means being able to read the opponent's attack trajectory in advance and make predictions with ultra-high precision.

This kind of mind skill requires superhuman perception, but even the most acute perception cannot catch the wind.

Once the kamaitachi hides among them, the swordsman of the second level will be vulnerable. He has already had many actual combat exercises, so he naturally thinks that this time will be no exception.

But Kamohashi Ryu knew very little about Amamiya Mahiru.

If he knew the information about the girl, he would never use Kamaitachi at this time.

He was completely unaware of a simple fact, not even Amamiya Ryuji knew, which was...

Kamaitachi suddenly launched an attack, hiding in the wind, with its deadly blade aimed at Amamiya Mahiru's neck.

At this time, Amamiya Mahiru also gave up her defensive stance and took the initiative to expose her flaws, as if she was willing to die. It was too late to defend herself at this time.

Just before the kamaitachi's attack arrived, she switched her left hand to her right hand, changed from a straight grip to a reverse grip, and slashed diagonally against the wind!

The Quick Rain Knife passed through the air, and a sharp wind blade also scratched her cheek, leaving a faint scarlet blood mark.

A sharp and painful cry was heard in the air, and a cloud of blood mist burst out in the air. The air flow became turbulent, and the gray-furred sickle-weasel fell from mid-air and was cut in half from the waist.

Blood flowed along the wooden boards, staining her wind boots red.

Kamo Bridge Ryu covered his mouth and nose and spat out a mouthful of blood. The Shikigami was killed, and he, as the contractor, was also mentally traumatized. Fortunately, this was not an equal contract, otherwise he would have lost at least half his life.

...How is it possible to kill my Kamaitachi with just one sword!

He was so shocked that he couldn't understand it. When he looked up again, the terrifying swordsman was gone.

He pinched a six-pointed star Platycodon seal talisman from his sleeve and threw it forward. It swelled up in the wind and instantly formed a layer of glittering shield.

The other sword that followed up with Amamiya Mahiru directly broke through the talisman shield and brushed past the front of the Onmyoji's neck. He rolled backwards in fear and hurriedly summoned the second Shikigami to protect himself.

The light came on, and two upright coffins rose from the ground. After the coffins were pushed open, two swordsman corpses covered with ancient warrior armor walked out. They were clearly processed corpse puppets.

One wielded a cross-scythe spear, the other a nodachi, blocking the pursuing blades of Amamiya Mahiru from the left and right. These were all Level 2 corpse puppets… meaning they were Level 3 in life. While their strength had indeed declined significantly after death, their fighting instincts remained terrifying, rivaling those of the katana experts at the Fire Transmigration Shrine.

She took two steps back, then picked up the sickle-weasel bones on the ground with the tip of her knife and smashed them at the corpse puppet.

She made full use of the surrounding environment to fight. When the kamaitachi's body was chopped into pieces and blood splattered, she directly released her own blood mixed in with it.

Bloodstains and sword energy burst out.

The bursting blood will release sharp sword energy, spreading in all directions, like a small jumping mine at close range, and the two corpse puppets will be instantly pierced with holes.

If it explodes from inside the body, death is certain.

I didn't use this trick on Ryuji Amamiya before because I didn't want to kill him.

She was already very good at killing people, and had long been a murderous devil with her hands stained with blood.

The two corpse puppets were restrained in their movements, and Amamiya Mahiru slashed with his sword, and the heads of the two corpse puppets fell to the ground immediately.

The whole process was smooth as flowing water, one advance and one retreat, and it took only five seconds to kill it like slaughtering a chicken.

At this time, the Yin-Yang Master who had fallen into the mud puddle in the dojo had just gotten up, his body still covered in mud and water, and there was no trace of his previous arrogance.

Looking at this scene, I just felt it was incredible and even unbelievable.

"How is this possible! How is this possible!!"

The three second-level Shikigami were killed in such a short time!

He is just an Onmyoji of the second realm. Having three Shikigami is already a sign of respect for the family, and he can be called invincible in the same realm. There is no fourth one at all!

Kamoqiao Long lost his composure, grabbed a handful of talismans, slammed them hard on the ground, clasped his hands together, and the formation rose.

"Five-pointed Prison!"

A technique in Yin-Yang magic used to restrain.

Most Yin-Yang magic has very few formations that can directly kill, and Yin-Yang masters themselves are mostly auxiliary and not good at killing.

His goal was just to trap the opponent.

The pentagram rises, trapping Amamiya Mahiru inside it.

The Yin-Yang Master's face showed hope. Fortunately, as long as he could trap her, he could still leave here and seek help...

But at the moment when this thought just arose, this hope, along with the five-star magic circle, was instantly cut into pieces by a horizontal knife.

He stared at the shattered formation, standing there in a daze, unable to understand... How could it be possible?

I am a second-level Onmyoji, how could she break the Onmyoji's formation with just one sword... Is she even human?

The Yin-Yang Master's philosophy suddenly collapsed: "What kind of monster are you? No, you are a ghost! You must not be human!"

Amemiya Mahiru herself was a little surprised, because this was her first time fighting against an Onmyoji. She felt that the opponent was so vulnerable that none of the Shikigami or spells he released could last more than three moves.

She took a step forward, expressionless. "You are the one who is so weak and vulnerable. Is this what a Yin-Yang Master is?"

She even revealed a hint of sarcasm, which was murderous and heartbreaking.

Kamoqiao Long couldn't utter any harsh words. His teeth were about to break and his whole body was trembling, but he was powerless.

Amemiya Mahiru said calmly: "I told you, I will kill you."

Even if they are weak, she will kill them without mercy.

Kamo Qiaolong suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "You can't kill me! If you kill me, the Kamo family will definitely fight you to the death!"

"You won't gain anything by killing me. I can help you escape from here and tell you how to avoid the Mibu Wolves. They're a gang of executioners. Even you are no match for them!"

In order to save his life, he dared to say anything.

Mibu Wolf is a private name, the real name is Shinsengumi.

This is a group of executioners who guard the safety of Edo. They are a security department under the shogunate that relies on force to intimidate all strong people. They specialize in dealing with vicious criminals who commit crimes against extraordinary people. There are as many as five swordsmen among them. Each of them has hundreds of lives on his hands, and they are not ordinary lives. Among them are ruthless people who have killed local daimyo and nobles.

Amamiya Mahiru said sympathetically, "That's my business. Don't bother worrying about it. You just need to hand over your life."

The Yin Yang Master was terrified: "No, please... don't kill me, I just said it carelessly, just to gain a momentary advantage with my words."

Amemiya Mahiru said calmly: "It's okay, just be careful in your next life."

She raised the knife.

At this moment, lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating her unfocused eyes. Blood splashed into her eyes, but she did not wipe it or blink.

Kamo Bridge Dragon finally understood the fatal point that he had previously overlooked.

"You, can't see..."

"Ah."

Amemiya Mahiru is a blind person, so Kamaitachi's invisibility has no meaning to her at all.

The knife swung like lightning, cutting off the head. The head rolled and the body slid to the ground, staining the mud and water red.

She swung her sword, her blood surging, and wondered, "Why are you so weak?"

Mr. Fate gave her an accurate answer: "Before the mystery, the formation was so vulnerable. This blood-stain mystery is much more useful than expected... But after today's battle, I'm afraid you will become the natural enemy of the Onmyoji."

Amamiya Mahiru didn't care: "Then let them come, I don't like this group of people."

Bai Yu agreed: "Me too."

Chapter 221 Two Geniuses

In the streets of Edo, a group of people wearing blue and white haori with a team flag with "Cheng" written on the back and mountain-shaped patterns on the sleeves passed through the alley.

They each held a sword and ran like the wind.

If someone saw it from a distance, they would immediately avoid it.

Shinsengumi... This name is known to almost everyone in Edo and Kyoto.

On the surface, they were a security team, but in reality, they were a group of executioners... Although they did maintain a safe environment, they also killed people in secret. The good thing was that they did not cause any harm to civilians, and they did increase the deterrent power of the shogunate.

But Fusang is such a place, you never know when your life will no longer be your own.

The Shinsengumi is now led by Kondo Isami, and its core members are all ronin who follow the natural style of swordsmanship, mainly from the Shieikan school. In the past, this group of people were not even considered samurai, but after being reorganized by the shogunate, they became official samurai.

At this time, running in the alley was the Shinsengumi's First Group.

The figure leading the charge, running like the wind, was the talented swordsman who had gained fame among the Mibu Wolves.

The team members shouted from behind: "Wait, team leader!"

"Hahaha, hurry up, faster is a good thing!"

The figure ran through the alley and on the eaves as fast as flying, and passed through the narrow and difficult alley in almost the blink of an eye.

The figure soon stopped in front of a barrier that was flickering with a faint light.

"Oh? This is..." He reached out and poked the shimmering barrier. "It's the Onmyoji's barrier. I didn't expect it would involve them."

The young man knocked on the outer wall of the barrier with his scabbard. "Could you please open it? This is the leader of the Shinsengumi's First Squad. Let us go in and check the situation."

The onmyoji in white turned around after hearing the voice. A middle-aged onmyoji walked up to the swordsman and said calmly, "Nice to meet you, Shinsengumi... As you can see, our Kamo clan is handling some matters inside, subduing demons. We can't open the barrier and let anything escape."

"Your words really trouble us. After all, this area is under our jurisdiction, and we need to confirm whether it is safe inside. If there really is a demon, wouldn't it be faster for us to deal with it?"

"I'm sorry, it would be bad if the barrier is opened and the demon escapes." The Yin-Yang Master continued to make excuses, and refused to open it no matter what.

The team members behind also caught up, and when they saw the Onmyoji, they immediately showed an expression that wanted to sit at the same table with Liang Feifan.

This group of Onmyojis were not popular and had considerable influence. The shogunate did not dare to offend them easily and even liked to shirk responsibility.
