I'm in Type-Moon, I have a Holy Evil Simulator

He was so sinful that he sneaked into Kyoto and colluded with Rika Asuka, the daughter of a criminal from the Asuka clan, to forcibly take him out of the country. Finally, he was arrested by Onmyoji Tsuchimikado Yasuaki and others!

It is no exaggeration to call such a wicked monk who has done so many evil things the most deserving villain in the Japanese Warring States Period!

Now, this demon monk, who is blind and has only his right arm intact, is bound by countless heavy chains and imprisoned in a dark dungeon.

"Your left hand... is it really beyond saving?"

Although Nagao Kagetora is also blind, she is always paying attention to Axue's physical condition.

After the sword strike last night, Axue's left hand had been almost broken into pieces by all the tendons and bones in her body. Even if the great doctor Hua Tuo were to be reborn, he would not be able to reconnect it.

"In this case, it can be said that even the Buddhist rituals cannot be performed."

Axue was now hanging on the chains, but she could still smile slightly.

"...Put him down, so I can have a good chat with my junior brother."

With his eyes covered by a black cloth, Nagao Kagetora tapped the table with his fingers and gave instructions to the jailer beside him.

"But Lord Jinghu! This is the White-robed Shura?!"

When the jailer heard Nagao Kagetora's order, his face suddenly froze.

He had also participated in the capture of Axue last night. That White-robed Shura, with just his right hand, was able to suppress hundreds of elite soldiers in Kyoto with a single sword strike. How could he dare to remove the seal on this White-robed Shura?!

"He only has one hand left, and you're actually afraid of this powerless disabled person!"

Under the roar of Nagao Kagetora, the jailer finally stepped forward with a look of extreme fear and removed the chains on Axue.

As countless chains crashed to the ground, Axue finally activated his shoulder muscles. He laughed and said, "Brother, being in jail is not a pleasant experience."

"Sit down."

So the fellow disciples from Linquan Temple sat on opposite sides of a table.

Nagao Kagetora slowly poured a cup of tea for Axue, and then the Shura in white drank it all in one gulp without any hesitation.

"Axue, you are going to die."

The white-haired war god wrapped in black cloth simply said so.

"In seven days, Monk Zhiwu of Enryaku-ji Temple will personally judge you and then behead you in the market as a public display."

"What's the reason?"

Axue asked back.

"Isn't that reason enough?"

"No, brother, you misunderstood what I meant. I meant—"

The white-robed Shura said coldly.

"How can he judge this poor monk by using Buddhism as his own?"

Judging a person by the bad things he has done is a very normal thing in criminal law.

But Buddhism is different.

Buddhism emphasizes that good and evil should be balanced. If Buddhism really wants to judge the White-robed Shura from its superior position, I am afraid that the evidence now is not enough to qualify.

"Buddhism says..."

Nagao Kagetora was silent for a long time, then spoke slowly.

"You wield the evil-destroying Buddhist sword, the Sujumaru Tsuneji, which is the sword of Nichiren Shonin. Therefore, the Tendai and Jodo Shinshu sects, along with other Buddhist forces, have united to label you a heretic of the Nichiren sect."

Nichiren Buddhism is a Buddhist religion that evolved in Japan and was founded by Nichiren Shonin.

Its ideas are incompatible with other Buddhist concepts and have even reached the point of being extreme.

So naturally, in the Japanese Warring States Period when the Nichiren sect and the Jodo Shinshu sect were popular today, those who believed in the Nichiren sect were very likely to be identified as heretics by the Buddhist community.

Although the evil-destroying Buddhist sword Sujumaru Tsuneji is one of the five sacred Buddhist swords, it has long been separated from its former owner, Nichiren Shonin, in the words of Buddhism.

Now, in order to uphold the great cause of judging heretics, the Buddhist sect has reconnected the sutra pill with Nichiren Shonin.

"In the end, I, who came from Linquan Temple, became a member of Nichiren Buddhism?"

Axue smiled bitterly and shook her head, then teased Nagao Kagetora.

"In this case, wouldn't Senior Brother, the Buddhist Martial God, also be very close to the Nichiren Sect?"

"——Axue, what you should worry about is that you are about to die!"

Nagao Kagetora slammed the table, looking extremely angry.

"Senior Brother can save your life, as long as you listen to what he says next——"

"So I want to become a dog of the Tiantai Sect, or even the Jodo Shinshu Sect, just like my senior brother?"

Axue's extremely sarcastic and sharp words made Nagao Kagetora's face freeze, and he could no longer say what he was about to say.

"...Do you really want to die so badly?"

"I can't die, Brother. [Destined Death] won't let me die."

Axue sighed.

"Or... Senior Brother, you want me to die. In your eyes, the White-robed Shura, who is incompatible with Buddhism, should be judged and killed?"

"Axue...you know, Senior Brother definitely couldn't have meant that!"

Nagao Kagetora's tone was almost pleading, she wanted to impress Axue with her true feelings.

"Brother, I've missed you all the time these past three years! Brother, I've never forgotten you. But, Xue, how could you be so cold and heartless to say such hurtful words to me?"

"Bishamonten, this nonsense can be spoken casually here. Do not tell these dream talks to outsiders."

Axue said.

"Can you please stop pretending to be...familiar with Bai Yi Shura?"

"What White-robed Shura! What Bishamonten! I am Senior Brother Torachiyo! And you are Junior Brother Axue!"

Nagao Kagetora couldn't bear it any longer, and she slapped the table, completely shattering it!

"We are brothers who promised to protect each other for life! Ah Xue! Senior Brother has never forgotten the oath we made! It's the same for you, right?"

"...Brothers?"

Axue was silent for a long time, then sighed.

"Perhaps... before coming to Kyoto, I had imagined that. Three years won't change anything. My senior brother is still the senior brother he was back then, and I am still the same me back then."

"That's right, this is all true, you are not mistaken!"

Nagao Kagetora's face suddenly lit up with joy, but when he heard what Axue said next, that joy suddenly fell into the abyss and turned into deep despair!

"However, things did not go as planned. Senior Brother is no longer the Tiger Chiyo of the past, and I am no longer the Axue of the past."

"My senior brother is the Buddhist Martial God, and I am the White-robed Shura. You and I are no longer brothers on the same path."

Axue lowered her voice and asked Nagao Kagetora.

"Brother, now that you have eyes like mine, what can you see?"

"...I can't see anything, Xue."

Nagao Kagetora slumped down in his chair in a daze, muttering to himself.

"It's so dark... This world... Why is it so dark..."

Then the white-haired war god held his head with both hands and almost cried out in grief.

"Axue! Why can't we be like before? You and I, brothers, can get together again? I'm actually very stupid. There are many things that I simply can't understand if you don't explain them clearly, Axue..."

Then Nagao Kagetora began to talk about the past.

"Do you still remember the time at Linquan Temple? The fish in the pond were taken away by wild cats, and I couldn't bear to chase them away. In the end, it was you, Axue, who reminded me that if I continued like this, it would harm the carp family in the pond—"

"So didn't you secretly kill that wild cat later? That cat was actually very clingy, always hovering around my window in the middle of the night, calling out and refusing to leave."

"I also planted a peach tree two years ago, but I didn't know anything about it and almost killed it. In the end, it was with Ah Xue's help that I finally managed to get a few beautiful peach blossoms to bloom this year—"

"So you never intended to water it. You were simply imitating others' appearances. That's why the peach tree never bloomed."

"I still remember the day I parted with my elder sister. She hugged me and cried bitterly, saying that if I wanted to continue living in this world, I must accumulate the Five Constant Virtues and believe in Buddha—"

"That's why you, Senior Brother, have never cared about the sufferings of the world. You only want to rely on the wishes of Master Xiantaoyuan to linger on, but you turn a deaf ear to the truth about the Buddha!"

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

Nagao Kagetora finally fell silent.

"Brother, what do I look like in your eyes now?"

Axue said softly.

"I... am no longer the beautiful young man from Linquan Temple. I am now covered in burns, my left hand is useless, and my right hand is all I have—"

"Shut up, ahh ...

All of Nagao Kagetora's inner beliefs and persistence were shattered by Axue's words!

The Buddhist Martial God's entire body began to tremble, and the laughter that emanated from his abdomen grew even louder. The laughter was no longer as hollow as before, but became so liberated and arrogant—

“Ahahahahahaha!!! Ahahahahahahaha!!!”

The white-haired war god laughed wildly.

"That's right! It's indeed true! What Echigo Dragon? What reincarnated war god? What savior? I'm nothing but a deceitful monster!"

"Only by risking my life on the battlefield, only by the moment of life and death in the encounter, is the only moment in which I, Nagao Kagetora, as a [human], can truly feel my existence in this world!!"

Only by taking the lives of others.

Or their lives may be taken away by others.

This is the best time for the Echigo Dragon to understand people's hearts!

Why does Nagao Kagetora always miss Axue?

Why is Nagao Kagetora always obsessed with Ayuki?

That’s because Nagao Kagetora has been cultivating an opponent who can fight with him since he was a child!

Axue is a carefully designed work by Nagao Kagetora!

So when this work was unilaterally destroyed by others, Nagao Kagetora lost control of his emotions and became so furious!

But now, White-robed Shura is not the enemy that Nagao Kagetora wants!

The prey she had been preparing for more than ten years had turned out to be so ugly and so weak!

How could Nagao Kagetora not be sad and go crazy over this?!

"Axue, Senior Brother has suddenly figured it out. As expected, you can't just die so easily at the hands of others, right?"

Nagao Kagetora took off the black cloth and stared at Axue with his dark golden tiger eyes that had lost focus.

Her delicate hand slowly stroked Axue's face, and then she laughed strangely.

"As expected! If you hate my brother so much, you should die at his hands!!"

"is it?"

"Brother, you've changed your mind. How can we let White-robed Shura die under the guillotine like any other death row inmate?"

The white-haired war god covered his mouth and laughed like a young girl.

"Ahahaha! Xue, you really should die like a samurai in the duel arena!"

"I will ask General Ashikaga to initiate a real sword competition in front of the emperor! Then, I will let you, my senior brother, in front of everyone in the world—"

"I personally cut off your so-called [destined death]!"

Chapter 95: Sword Competition Before the Emperor

Su Shi once wrote in "On Liu Hou" -

"When a common man is insulted, he draws his sword and stands up to fight. This is not courage."

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, this is - [forbearance].
