But Axue didn't move, staring at Xiantaoyuan with cold eyes.

The answer is self-evident.

Axue doesn't like Xiantaoyuan.

Naturally, he didn't need Xiantaoyuan's love.

"Axue, even if you killed me, I would never hate you."

Before her death, Xian Taoyuan lowered her jade hands and muttered to herself.

"If I said this, would you feel pain? Or, would you feel a sense of redemption...?"

In the end, this beautiful woman like a flower died in front of Axue.

Axue's eyes, which could not see anything, just stared at Xiantaoyuan's face and fell into silence for a long time.

【..................】

Suzumaru Tsuneji felt as if his whole body was being burned by fire.

It was like returning to the sword forging furnace, where the swordsmith who had made him, Qingjiang Hengci, was gazing at him enthusiastically. His ferocious face moved closer to the flames, his mouth bared, and he laughed heartily.

"Tsuneji! You are the divine weapon commanded by my name! You must stand guard by Nichiren Shonin's side! Live with my will! You are the blade of justice destined to sever all evil in the world!"

The swordsmith cut off his own blood and fed it to Suzumaru Tsuneji, who drank it.

"You must remember! You are the supreme sword that slays evil! Never doubt yourself! The moment you begin to doubt yourself, your sharpness and mystery will vanish in an instant!"

Only then did Suzumaru Tsuneji come to his senses.

It was watching this celebration party and was suffering from inhumane violence.

The lives and dignity of countless people are being brutally plundered! They are being madly plundered by evil people!

Who is it?! Who killed these people?! I clearly have the power to protect them! My Lord! Who on earth could have done this?! Draw your sword! My Lord! We must hurry! Before that evil man kills everyone! We must save all the remaining lives—!!!

However, before he could utter any more stern words, Suzumaru Tsuneji let out a scream!

"My blade should be spotless! Why! Why am I simply practicing justice? Why is my blade stained with the blood of good people? Why is my heart filled with the pain of hell? Why! Why is this——!"

Horrible cracks began to appear on the beautiful blade of Suzumaru Tsuneji. The blade of this one of the Five Swords of the World actually cracked at this moment!

[Wuwuuuuuuuuuuu?! Bastard! Asshole!! I am Tsuneji Suzumaru, one of the Five Swords of the World, the Evil-Slaying Buddha Sword! Why would the heavens treat me like this?! I live in the midst of troubled times! I have found a wise master! I swear to slay all evil in the world! I have slumbered for centuries! How could anyone understand my suffering?! How could anyone understand?!]

Feeling that the Evil-Destroying Buddha Sword in his hand was about to break completely, Axue finally activated the ice power in his body and forcibly froze the already shattered blade.

He then quickly put it back into the scabbard, thus preventing the collapse of the Five Swords of the World.

After a long silence, the samurai sword, which was on the verge of disintegration, finally let out a long sigh.

That was the confusion he raised to his lord, Axue—

"My lord... Please tell me, are all the beliefs of Suzumaru Tsuneji false...?"

This samurai sword that can distinguish between justice and evil uttered a sad sound for the first time.

[Justice... doesn't exist...? ]

This issue is so acute.

For Suzumaru Tsuneji and the Buddhist martial god Uesugi Kenshin, this must be a problem that is enough to completely defeat them.

However, the silver-haired young man in black simply held onto the Jujumaru Tsuneji tightly and spoke in a resounding voice:

"Do not."

There was a dark fire burning in Axue's eyes, and his voice was so firm, without any wavering.

Even though he was in the bloody hell, the answer of the Buddhist martial god Uesugi Kenshin was still so persistent -

"Even so, justice still exists!"

Chapter 4200: Are you... a Paradox player?! ( words)

[You massacred the Nagao family overnight.]

[From then on, there were no more remnants of the Nagao family in Kasugayama Castle.]

[As the son of the Uesugi family, the guardian of Echigo, it is natural for you to inherit the position of family head under the support of the former Uesugi retainers.]

You put on a samurai helmet and a gorgeous black robe, climbed to the top of the castle tower, and were showered with cheers from the people.

Your eyes see through the mists of history, your warriors expand your territory, your sword cuts through the thorns, and you lead the people of Echigo to victory.

[You look down upon all living beings and take over the power that can change history.]

You are the black-robed holy monk of love and hate, sin and punishment. You are the Buddhist martial god bathed in holy light. You are the only savior in the chaotic world of the Warring States Period.

[Echigo Dragon Uesugi Kenshin, this is your new name from now on.]

"...Why did you leave me alone?"

Usami Sadami's eyes were filled with complexity as she stared at the handsome, silver-haired young man in front of her.

This old man was the murderer who indirectly killed Nagao Kagetora. It was he who specially asked Axue to come out of seclusion to pacify the Yueyangbei people. For this agreement, this wise general even did not hesitate to die to show his determination.

However, after returning triumphantly, Kenshin Uesugi did not find Sadami Usami to fulfill his original promise.

Instead, during the celebration banquet, he single-handedly wiped out the Nagao family!

That night of bloody massacre is now horrifiedly called the "Night of Genocide" by the retainers who learned about it.

Axue is clearly Nagao Kagetora's sworn brother. No matter what his current identity is, he is still a member of the Nagao family.

Moreover, Xiantaoyuan was quite infatuated with him, and her meticulous care over the past few years had made her almost like the young man's adoptive mother.

No matter how incompetent Nagao Harukage was, this was not the reason why the head of the Uesugi family could do such a cruel thing, right?

This cruel and bloodthirsty character is ten or even nine times more terrifying than that of the treacherous hero Nagao Weijing!

No one would have thought that the black-robed prime minister, who seemed to be the most compassionate, would do such a morally depraved thing while chatting and laughing!

Usami Sadami felt that his relationship with Uesugi Kenshin was not a life-or-death friendship, right?

Can he be more prestigious than Master Tianshi?

Or is there more family affection than in Xiantaoyuan?

This wise general couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. He simply couldn't understand why he hadn't been killed by this tyrant.

"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments."

Axue just put her hands behind her back and said so calmly.

"From the beginning, you've acted for the future of Echigo. To prevent me from sending troops to Mino to rescue Owari, you even resorted to assassination during the annual meeting. Furthermore, you're a loyal retainer of the Uesugi family. If I kill you, wouldn't that be killing an innocent person?"

"............."

Usami Sadamitsu felt an indescribable tremor all over his body.

Killing innocent people by mistake???

If I didn't know that you had already shot up all the people in the Nagao family, I would have really thought you were the holy monk who chanted scriptures and meditated.

But Usami Sadami is not a man who doesn't care about his life.

This old man understood deeply——

Echigo Province needs a lord like this, who is upright in public but decisive and ruthless in private!

Only in this way can we unify the chaotic world of the Warring States Period!

He immediately drew out his samurai sword and broke the sword on the spot!

"Lord Kenshin! From now on! I will swear allegiance to you!!"

"good."

Axue realized that Usami Sadami was not lying, so she smiled and nodded.

"Then follow me into the house. I'm going to clean up Echigo Province thoroughly."

"...The Great Purge??"

Usami Teitami was completely confused.

No.

Wasn't the Great Purge already over?

Didn’t you just bury the Nagao family in the ground with your own hands?

What else needs to be cleaned in Echigo Province?

Now, who in the entire Echigo Province dares to rebel against you, the Buddhist God of War Uesugi Kenshin?

As soon as Usami Sadami walked in, he found that the room was mostly filled with prominent nobles from Echigo Province.

Most of these guys were former retainers of the Torachiyo faction. After Nagao Kagetora's death, they were neglected by Nagao Harukage. Now that Axue has come to power, these guys have been reused.

However, these retainers did not show happy and relaxed smiles on their faces. Instead, they were trembling and dared not speak.

Because they all knew the battle record of the silver-haired boy in front of them.

He is not like the easy-going Nagao Kagetora who is like a puppet. Uesugi Kenshin is a two-faced and treacherous person!

Nagao Harukage used to think that he was still that innocent boy with a child's mind, but now the head of the Nagao family head is still hanging high on the wall of Kasugayama Castle, and is regarded as a traitor in troubled times and is despised by the people!

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!

The pressure that this silver-haired young man brought to all the retainers was even more terrifying than that of Nagao Tamekage in the past!

"Echigo Province needs to put its people first."

As soon as he came up, Axue briefly outlined the basic arguments of this purge to all the retainers.

"If you want fiefs, I can give them to you. If you want treasures, I can give them to you. I am not like those vulgar people in the Nagao family. I, Uesugi Kenshin, never hesitate to give rewards."

"But from now on, anyone who dares to plunder and massacre civilians, or who dares to oppress the people in the territory, will suffer the same fate as Nagao Harukage today!"

Upon hearing what Axue said, the retainers couldn't help but look at each other, blinking their eyes and scratching their heads for a moment.

No.

You call everyone out, and all you end up talking about is this kind of stuff?

"...Lord Kenshin, even if I'm not from a prominent family, can I still obtain a fiefdom?"

A humble retainer ventured to speak.

He was neither a prominent family member of the Uesugi family nor a founding hero of the Nagao family, so naturally he was not qualified to obtain a fiefdom.

This kind of person is not even as good as Xia Yue Yang Bei Zhong. Even if he rebels, no one will respond. He is an indispensable little transparent official in every dynasty.

"Of course you can. I reward people based on their merits. As long as you are loyal to me, you will naturally receive these rewards."

Axue nodded, reiterating that she was absolutely not bragging.

"But the fiefdoms have already been divided. Could it be that Lord Kenshin is going to give the Nagao family's fiefdom to...?"

The knowledgeable retainer spoke, his eyes full of suspicion.

After all, to put it bluntly, Kenshin Uesugi was just launching a coup in Kasugayama Castle. The entire Echigo Province just changed its boss. For the entire country, this was just the same old story in a new bottle.

"Are you doubting me?"

Upon hearing this, Axue turned to look at the retainer who raised the question.

"How, how could that be! I was just expressing my concerns, ahahaha!"

Seeing the Buddhist martial god staring at him, the retainer suddenly panicked.

Although he knew that Kenshin Uesugi was blind, why did this retainer always feel as if he was being stared at by a real black dragon and could not move his whole body?

"You know what? Insufficient loyalty means absolute disloyalty."

The next moment, Axue's right hand burst out with an extremely cold force of ice and snow!

The ice cone that quickly condensed pierced the throat of Axue's retainer who had previously been suspicious!
