From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

"Prince Yoshinobu?" Koshiro Fujita was a little surprised.

"Do you think we left the Tengu Party and went to hang out with Kondo Isami and his gang?" Serizawa Kame shouted in dissatisfaction. Niimi Nishiki hurriedly pulled him back, signaling him not to make too much noise.

"We joined the Ronin-gumi on the orders of Lord Yoshinobu, and he also ordered us to stay in Kyoto to monitor and check Kondo Isami and others." Niimi Nishiki then explained in a low voice.

"So you guys are coming back this time?"

"Kondo Isami, Hijikata Toshizo and others have completely surrendered to Matsudaira Yoshinobu, which has greatly expanded the power of the Tennen Rishin-ryu in the Mibu Ronin Group. Now we can no longer suppress them." Niimi Nishiki said. "The Ronin Group has been recognized by the Shogun and will soon become one of the forces that can legally take action in Kyoto. We must control it in the hands of our Mito Domain! Therefore, Lord Yoshinobu asked us to come to you and ask you to recommend suitable candidates to Kyoto to join the Ronin Group as soon as possible to strengthen our strength and ensure that the Ronin Group does not fall into the hands of others!"

He looked at Xiachuan and continued, "The Ronin Group is nominally still a subordinate of Kyoto guardian Yoshiho-kun, so the candidate you recommend should be a new face, not too famous among the patriots, and not have a history of publicly promoting the Sonnōjō ideology. Of course, he must be from Mito!"

Although such words were abrupt, they were reasonable and explained why the two core members of the Tengu Party suddenly left without saying goodbye. Fujita Koshiro had obviously believed them, which in turn made him regret that he should not have let Natsukawa join in the conversation.

After all, this involves the secrets of Mito Domain, and it is not something that can be made public.

"Kinoshita-kun, we..." Fujita Koshiro said. At this moment, Natsukawa suddenly felt a sudden dark aura on Niimi Nishiki's body. In that instant, strong resentment and murderous intent suddenly poured towards Fujita Koshiro who had completely relaxed!

"Ding!" The knife in Xiachuan's hand and the knife in Nimi Nishiki's hand collided violently, emitting dazzling sparks in the darkness. The next moment, a strong resentment also erupted from Serizawa Ya's body, and he swung the knife at Xiachuan from the side!

Natsukawa pushed Fujita Koshiro away with a palm, and swung the knife in his hand continuously to block the continuous attacks from the two opponents.

The sound of sword strikes like a violent storm finally woke Fujita Koshiro up. He roared and drew his sword. At this time, a large amount of resentment had already spread out from the sword in Serizawa Kamo's hand and gathered in his body, making him like a demon.

"Why?!" Fujita Koshiro immediately began to pray to Daitengu for strength and asked angrily.

"Your existence is a threat to the Mito Domain." Niimi Nishiki was also eroded by the ghost energy, and his originally ordinary face had become hideous and terrifying. "Now there is no need for you radicals to continue to stir up public opinion and promote the expulsion of foreigners. The power of the Mito Domain must be unified and wholeheartedly support the reform of the shogunate by Lord Yoshinobu, instead of creating divisions and troubles all day long like you are now. Koshiro, if you are still a samurai, and you still have the word loyalty in your heart, if you really want to save this country, then put down the sword in your hand and die for justice!"

Xia Chuan couldn't believe such a fallacy, but the power of these two guys increased rapidly, and even Xia Chuan began to feel a little tired. He was not a warrior who relied on swordsmanship to fight, and he couldn't suppress the two obviously abnormal guys with just the sword in his hand.

"You have already abandoned the Shinto Munen-ryu?!" Fujita Koshiro had already started fighting with Niimi Nishiki, but with the help of Tengu's power, he was obviously no match for Niimi Nishiki, who had turned into an evil spirit. If it weren't for Natsukawa constantly blocking his fatal attacks, he might have already fallen. "You are... killing people?! What on earth are you two..."

"It's just killing a few hundred people." Serizawa pushed Xiachuan back with a sword and laughed. "We have entered a chaotic era. If you still hold on to those pedantic ideas, you will only be trampled underfoot by others. Xiaoshiro, stop struggling. Use your blood to sacrifice my precious sword and let me become a demon warrior!"

Chapter 244 Yan Ling

The black mist on the two assassins became thicker and thicker, gradually turning into something like armor that attached to their bodies, making them look less and less human. Their strength also grew stronger and their speed became faster.

Natsukawa had not wanted to reveal his true abilities in front of Kiritsuki, but relying solely on his half-baked swordsmanship and his body's instincts was no longer enough to guarantee the safety of Fujita Koshiro and the others. He had also realized by now that the garden had been shrouded in a similar black aura, isolating it from the surrounding environment.

There must be other beings out there with the same power as Serizawa Kamo and Niimi Nishiki. In this case, the rescue force can no longer be relied upon.

There is no better choice.

"Die, die, die, die!" Serizawa Ya swung the long sword in her hand frantically, and the thick black sword energy slashed on the sword in Xiachuan's hand again and again. Niimi Nishiki hid in the darkness like a poisonous snake, constantly showing his fangs.

The next moment, a huge flame suddenly exploded, blowing Serizawa Duck away. Then, five fireballs appeared in front of Xiachuan and continued to hit him. At the same time, more fireballs flew around the yard, forcing Niimi Nishiki out of the darkness.

"Kinoshita-kun?!" Fujita Koshiro, who already felt something was wrong but had no idea what to do, was both surprised and happy.

But Xia Chuan sensed something was wrong and blocked him behind him: "Be careful!"

"I was wrong." The figure of Serizawa Duck stood up again, but the voice had become completely different. "Who are you?"

Five fireballs flew towards him, but he chopped them off with his sword. However, the light of the fire was enough for Natsukawa and Fujita Koshiro to see his face clearly.

The previous explosion and fire had burned half of his face, even exposing his cheekbones and teeth, but there was no bleeding, and it didn't even have any effect on his movements. Only black mist continued to leak out from that place.

Now, anyone could see that he was no longer a human being, and might not even be alive.

"You are not Serizawa! Who are you..." Fujita Koshiro was shocked and angry. Niimi Nishiki, who had escaped into the darkness again, suddenly attacked him from behind, but was once again blocked by Natsukawa with his sword. A huge flame burst out again, but this time he was already prepared. He swung the long sword in his hand with force and quickly retreated.

But Natsukawa was faster than him. In a flash, he disappeared from Fujita Koshiro and suddenly appeared behind Niimi Nishiki. He cut off his head with a knife and surrounded him with fireballs again.

"boom!"

In the firelight, Niimi Jin's body was engulfed by the flames, but after a moment the flames were extinguished by the surrounding black mist. Then, the headless body stood up shakily and grasped the knife again.

"They are just puppets." This scene immediately reminded Xia Chuan of Anrose. Although it was not exactly the same, the scene was extremely similar.

They have been controlled by some powerful god or monster, or may have died long ago.

"Kondo Isami? Impossible!" Fujita Koshiro said in astonishment. "I have fought with those guys from the Tennen Rishin-ryu school. There are many strong ones among them, but they can never do such a thing!"

"It doesn't matter who it is." Xia Chuan said.

A huge amount of black fog was gathering towards Serizawa Kame. Xiachuan kept attacking with fireballs, but a large number of black fog arrows were also shot out from the black fog, destroying all the fireballs he summoned. Not only that, the black fog was also constantly eroding the buildings in the garden. Screams were heard from the room where Wu Yue was, and the servant who tried to escape had already fallen silently in the black fog.

Xia Chuan manipulated the spirit rats he had made earlier to try to break through the black fog from underground to see what was happening outside, but they were unable to escape the invasion of the black fog and were soon swallowed up by it.

"Go protect Kiritsuki!" Natsukawa said to Fujita Koshiro.

The battle has completely changed. It is no longer an assassination attempt against Fujita Koshiro, but a duel between Kurogiri and Natsukawa, who are controlling the bodies of Kamo Serizawa and Nishiki Nishiki.

This even made Natsukawa have an idea that this might not be what really happened in Kamio Hitomi's memory, but rather this illusion, or the seal's stress response to him as an invader.

Otherwise, with Fujita Koshiro's strength, how could he escape such an assassination?

No one knew where the fox demon was trapped. Xiachuan judged that she must have lost her freedom or her mind, and was acting in the illusion as someone else. Otherwise, she should appear next to Kiritsuki and Fujita Koshiro no matter what.

If Kamio Hitomi is Kiritsuki, then who would she be?

While thinking about these questions, Natsukawa continued to attack Serizawa Duck, trying to attract all the enemies' attention to himself.

There was a huge amount of resentment mixed in the black fog, and Serizawa Duck's body was just a carrier of their actions. At this time, Xiachuan had no scruples at all. Not only did he use all the spells he had mastered before, but he also used all the powerful spells that the fox demon told him not long ago.

But this black fog seemed to have some kind of power that interfered with and restrained his spiritual energy, just like the blood sea in the shrine before. While Serizawa Duck was frantically counterattacking him, more and more black fog began to entangle his body, desperately trying to get into his body, wrapping around his hands and feet, making his movements gradually become difficult.

"Master..." Paul's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Xia Chuan immediately released it without hesitation.

The giant octopus shadow immediately filled most of the courtyard. Its huge tentacles collided with the black mist, confronting energy in the most primitive way. However, this way of fighting was more effective than Xia Chuan's previous battle. Not only that, as soon as Paul appeared, he spit out a large ball of ink at Serizawa Duck, making him scream.

"You... damn it..." Serizawa's voice became intermittent. When the black mist finally offset the ink, his body had become bumpy and covered with bruises. The arm that was blocking in front of him had even completely lost its flesh, leaving only tendons and bones.

"Hurry! Master, my power can't hold them back for long!" Paul said anxiously at this time. "Your power cannot be replenished in this world. We must fight in a more efficient way!"

"A more efficient way?" Xia Chuan was a little helpless. If there was a more efficient way, wouldn't he have used it before?

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered the art of speaking that he had just learned from the Christian missionary.

A heretic without divine grace cannot use such power, but... he himself is a god!

It is certainly impossible for Christian prayers to use divine power. However, what is important is not what is said, but the release of divine power in some way through language, text and correct rituals.

"I say, let there be light!" Xia Chuan then quickly transformed the soul jade that was shaped into a long sword into a jade slip engraved with words, and recited those words at the same time.

Chapter 245 Seal

"I said, let there be light!"

There seemed to be countless people in the sky whispering along with Xia Chuan's mutterings. Then, a brilliant white light suddenly emanated from the jade slip in his hand, went straight into the sky, and spread rapidly around him with him as the center.

A suffocating scream suddenly erupted from the overwhelming black fog. White light was everywhere and the black fog surged like a boiling pot. Countless vengeful spirits struggled to escape, but were mercilessly melted and swallowed up by the white light, disappearing into thin air.

Xia Chuan himself did not expect such an effect.

He hadn't felt this way for a long time. A huge amount of resentment poured into his mind frantically, as if to eliminate him from this world in this way. Fortunately, he had long been accustomed to such situations. Although there was no shrine, bronze mirror or other magical tools to help, he still used his body as a container and tried his best to absorb this crazy power.

Serizawa Duck roared violently, but under the sweep of the white light, a large amount of black gas began to emerge from his body and then disappeared.

He still tried to rush towards Xia Chuan with the knife raised, but under the illumination of the white light, his body melted like an ice cube, and was directly wrapped up by Paul's tentacles, and smashed to the ground, hitting the stone slabs and breaking into pieces. The next moment, his body suddenly began to decay rapidly, as if he had died a long time ago.

The headless body of Niimi Jin had also fallen to the ground after being swept by the white light, and was rapidly decaying.

"They have been dead for at least two or three months..." Koshiro Fujita, who had been paying full attention to the situation outside, came out and checked the bodies.

He no longer knew what he should be surprised about. Was it the fact that Serizawa Kamo and Niimi Nishiki had already died, or what the man in front of him who called himself Kinoshita Takaya had just done?

"Kinoshita-kun, thank you so much for saving my life, I..." After a moment, he managed to calm down, but before he could finish his words of thanks, the expression on Xiachuan's face became solemn again.

"There's something worse coming."

The black fog dissipated, and the barrier that had previously separated them from this world also collapsed. The consequence of this was that the white light that purified everything illuminated the entire sky with its last bit of afterglow, and then disappeared under Xia Chuan's control.

In fact, it was only a brief moment, but a moment later, more than a dozen black mists suddenly rose in different directions of Edo Castle.

The closest to them was the Hanazono Shrine inside Yoshiwara. A Prajna demon dressed in white stood up and looked in their direction in surprise, and then seemed to issue some kind of order.

Several black shadows were moving quickly towards this side along the roofs of the teahouse and the restaurant. They should be evil spirits driven by ghosts and gods. It was easy to destroy them, but at this moment, all the ghosts and gods in Edo had been awakened by the light, and what followed must be a force much more powerful than the two assassins.

Escape?

In that case, how will Fujita Koshiro and Kiritsuki be treated?

Moreover, isn't the current situation the reaction of Fengyin after he realized his identity?

What exactly is it?

Xia Chuan thought anxiously.

"Mr. Kinoshita, please leave as soon as possible!" Koshiro Fujita also noticed the situation around him and his face turned extremely pale.

He was very familiar with this area and naturally knew clearly what the locations of the dozen or so black fogs represented.

This was no longer a problem that he could quell and resolve by using the power of the Mito Domain. As the guardians of Edo Castle, the ghosts and gods would not usually interfere in the affairs of the human world under the constraints of Shinto law, but once they intervened, it meant that there would be no room for maneuver.

As a mortal, it is impossible for him to escape from such a situation, but with such strength, Kinoshita might be able to escape before the demons arrive.

"What about you?" Xia Chuan was slightly surprised by his attitude.

"Although it was not my intention, I got you involved in such a thing. You don't have to care about me. Run away while there is still time!" Fujita Koshiro's expression gradually became resolute. He sat cross-legged on a flat ground in the courtyard, took off the long sword from his waist, placed it in front of himself, and casually unbuttoned his clothes.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Chuan asked.

"Rather than being tortured by ghosts and gods by having your soul extracted, it is better to end your life first."

Xia Chuan was a little stunned. At this time, Wu Yue came out of the house silently, holding a pot of wine.

"Lord Lizhen, I am willing to go to hell with you!"

"Really? I'm really grateful." Fujita Koshiro laughed, but there was a hint of sadness in his laughter. "Kirizuki, I'm so sorry for involving you in these things..."

Wait a minute... Xia Chuan was a little confused about the situation.

The previous assassination might have happened in the past, and the fox demon took action to eliminate the assassin, allowing Fujita Koshiro to escape, but what is the situation now?

If they died here, then where did the future demon fox God Tail Tong come from?

The plot must have gotten seriously out of control here. Has Feng Yin sensed the danger and is going to use this method to get rid of Wu Yue?

Could she be the real body of the demon fox? Then, where did Kamio Hitomi go...

Natsukawa suddenly realized something, and at this time, Kiritsuki had already poured a glass of wine for Fujita Koshiro, leaning against him, smiling at him sadly.

"Wu Yue, I am so glad to be with you today..." Fujita Koshiro took the wine glass from her hand and was about to drink it all, but he saw a flash of a knife, and the beautiful woman beside him, who was as beautiful as a flower and dressed in gorgeous clothes, was suddenly separated from her head and body, and blood flowed like a river.

"Kinoshita!" Fujita Koshiro screamed and subconsciously grabbed the knife.

"Kamio Hitomi, are you still not going to wake up?!" Natsukawa shouted at this time. "Wake up quickly!"

"Kamio?" Fujita Koshiro looked confused, and the next moment, she suddenly realized that her body had changed.

"I'm not... I am... who am I?" She looked at her smooth and delicate hands, stroking her crystal clear and soft cheeks. Her thoughts fell into chaos. Countless memories and knowledge suddenly began to flood into her mind frantically, making her scream out in pain.

"You are Kamio Hitomi, the most popular idol singer in Tokyo. You are also the fox demon that is sealed inside her body and will live and die with her! Kamio Hitomi, why don't you wake up?!"

Xia Chuan shouted loudly, and suddenly he became alert. He took a step forward and kicked away the knife that was stabbing at Kamio Hitomi from somewhere. The next moment, Kiritsuki, who was wearing gorgeous clothes and a high bun, appeared out of thin air with a smile. She held a knife in one hand and covered half of her face with a folding fan in the other hand. She chuckled: "Haha, it has come to this. Do you still want to resist?"

In the distance, a dozen or so towering black fogs had begun to move towards this side. Xia Chuan's eyes blurred and Wu Yue was already standing on the shoulder of the huge white-clothed Prajna ghost god.

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance." She sat down lightly, her eyes moving, charming and attractive. "Rather than being skinned and boned by ghosts and gods, having your soul and marrow extracted, and being unable to live or die, it's better to end it yourself first."

"I'll return this sentence to you intact." Xia Chuan said. "I usually don't hit women, but you're not a woman, right?"

Chapter 246 Seal (2)

"A dead duck is still stubborn." Wu Yue said contemptuously. The next moment, the white-clothed Prajna ghost screamed miserably, and the hair on the back of his head seemed to come alive and began to grow rapidly, surrounding Xia Xiachuan and Kamio Hitomi from all directions, and stabbing at them like spears from time to time.

Natsukawa grabbed the still dazed Kamio Hitomi and helped her quickly dodge the attack from the ghost's hair.

Kamio Hitomi seemed to be extremely stimulated and had no reaction even when he was pulling her like this.

"Paul!" Xia Chuan shouted.

The octopus shadow instantly grew larger, blocking them in front of it, and at the same time wrapped its huge tentacles around their hair. White frost soon appeared, and quickly attacked Prajna Ghost God along the hair. After a slight sound, the hair broke in the middle, but more hair had already meandered from the surroundings, surrounding them in the middle.
