Crown Dead

Unlike Immortal Slash·Ghost Executioner, which has "cutting off karma" added at the same time as it is unsheathed, [Spirit Tracing] is a weapon that must meet certain conditions before it can extradite karma.Therefore, for these metamorphoses with higher immortality, it is the best method to directly disable their actions.

On the other hand, Ba Yuqian's fighting method is much simpler-continuously stuffing .50 caliber Dum bullets into the mouths of those metamorphosis.

Although it won't die, the pain will still hurt.Even the reincarnations who had their heads blown several times understood what was going on, and they all lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead so as not to be targeted by Ba Yu and eat bullets.

As for Duan Zang, her professionalism as a ninja makes her fight in a very special way-with a stun gun.

Xian Yu was too lazy to complain.

In short, everyone used different methods to either kill or deprive the incoming mutants of their ability to move, and immediately killed all the mutants present.

"Please wait a moment, I will use the hook lock here to directly build a ropeway that can reach the castle tower."

After confirming that there were no other enemies around, Duan Zang came to the edge of the courtyard and aimed at the roof of the castle tower, preparing to launch a shortcut that "looks like a nylon rope for mountaineering, but the party emphasized that it is an ancient method of weaving grass rope".

"Damn...Damn...!!"

"who?"

The paper door of the room near the courtyard was suddenly knocked open, and a luxuriously dressed man with wounds all over his body rushed out and fell straight to the ground.

"Damn, hate—wait a minute, you are the ninja of the imperial court, right!! Where is your master!? Yagyu, where is Lord Yagyu?! He should protect me, he should protect Ruqicheng!"

After seeing Duan Zang, the man rushed towards Duan Zang as if he suddenly went crazy.

"Calm down—what happened? Are you a survivor who escaped from the rustic city?"

Ba Yuqian stood in front of Duan Zang and the man, and asked the other party warily.

"Escaped... How dare you say it! I am, I am Lord Matsudaira of Shimosong Kingdom! This city and this country are all my territory!! I am the ruler here!"

Bayuqian's vigilant and unfamiliar attitude suddenly angered the man, he yelled at Ba Yuqian and even prepared to rush towards him, but before that, his hands were entangled by the remaining heavenly locks.

"Woo! Damn, hate! Things shouldn't have developed like this! That Onmyoji, that guy deceived me!! Nunin, where is your master!! Yagyu, let him and his samurai kill those for me! Monster!"

Even though his hands were tied and he fell to the ground again, the man still yelled hysterically.

"That is indeed Matsudaira Mori-sama of Ruqicheng...but why did it become like this?"

Duan Zang looked at the other party suspiciously but panicked, he said hysterically that he had been betrayed, but Duan Zang had no idea what it meant.The last instruction left to him by the master Yagyu Tajima Shousuo who is a "court ninja" is: follow Xianyu and his party wholeheartedly.Therefore, Duan Zang also has no idea where Liu Sheng, the pinnacle of swordsmanship known as the God-killing Sword, is now.

"You are Songping...Qing Ji! Where is Qing Ji?! We will guarantee your safety, where is your woman now?"

Xiao Xianyu rushed to the man and questioned him loudly.

"Tianshou Pavilion... Qingji was taken to the Tianshou Pavilion by a guy who claimed to be a sorcerer—damn it, hate it! That power was promised to be mine! The secret of immortality should be my father, my son It belongs to the leader of the country!! You don’t even know how much sacrifice I have made to make this barren land prosperous!! This is the power I should have, I clearly agreed... I clearly agreed ! That bastard onmyoji!!"

"—Tianshou Pavilion, the secret technique of immortality...Could it be said that Qing Ji is the last 'mechanism' to activate the disgusting soil!?"

After the inexplicable archers attacked on the top of the mountain, Xiao Xianyu imagined some possible situations.But from the current point of view, it seems that the whole incident is exactly in line with the worst situation I expected.

"Princess Qingji is an organ? What do you mean?"

Musashi didn't understand Xianyu's muttering.

"The fact that the Xiazong Kingdom has become extremely prosperous is an anomaly in itself, and where the anomaly exists, there is naturally an existence that represents the anomaly itself—perhaps it is the [power of life] endowed by Princess Qingji."

Xiao Xianyu took out the red scales on his neck, and almost instantly, Matsudaira who was lying on the ground roared out.

"That's the one—! Why are you the guy who was made a contract!! It doesn't make sense! Qing Ji is my property... Ruqi City and Xiazong Kingdom are all my property!!"

The man squirmed and wanted to reach Xianyu's side, but was stepped on by Musashi. There is nothing to talk about now, this man is definitely not in the same camp as himself.

"The power of immortality—this is the key. Perhaps [immortality] is only the most superficial and intuitive manifestation, and perhaps the reason for the abnormal prosperity of the Xiazong Kingdom is also the wonderful power that resides in Qing Ji."

Xiao Xianyu put the scales back into his clothes, thinking seriously.

The known forces are clearly on the side of the heroic swordsman, the side of Xiazong Kingdom represented by Princess Qing Ji, the side of the imperial court, and finally the side of Xianyu Musashi Ba Yuqian. I want to get rid of the twisted existence.

But in fact——Princess Qingji, and the magical power she possesses that can make people [undead] is the center of contention among all camps.

The only person connected to the imperial court is Yagyu Danmashou, who is currently out of contact. Other than that, he has always existed outside the situation.

The Xiazong Kingdom's camp is not Princess Kiyohime, but his father Matsudaira Mori. His goal is to take the princess's ability as his own in a way he can master.After all, this kind of ability is similar to that in my daughter, and the actual meaning is very different.

The dispatch of soldiers, the destruction of Sagami, the soldiers who came to die in the Black Rope Hell—all of these were actions directed by Mamoru Matsudaira after being deceived by someone called Onmyoji who actually belonged to the camp of heroic swordsmen.

"You and the commander of Heroic Swordsman...have you reached some kind of agreement with the sorcerer? The sorcerer needs the karma of the dead, and you need to fully grasp Princess Qingji's ability."

In the final conclusion, Matsudaira Mamoru was also deceived by the sorcerer, and he was wasting his efforts on the road to eternal life from the beginning to the end.

"Bastard, bastard...! I made Xiazong become so prosperous! I should live forever! Since Qing Ji refuses to subjectively give me this power, then I can only join forces with those lunatics!! You didn’t do anything wrong, it’s obvious—poof!”

Before he finished speaking, a samurai sword fell from the sky and directly pierced the man's head.

"Such an angry and humiliating remorse, as a past karma, must be able to create an excellent immortal worm."

"—!"

Above the pavilion, a man in a strange and coquettish dress stood on the edge, smiling and looking down at the crowd.

"If we meet directly, this is only the second time. I am Limbo, the heroic swordsman, caster. That stupid clown thought until the end that he was a 'strategist' who could control and use everything? Unfortunately, that It’s a title that only my master, the sorcerer, has.”

The man introduced himself elegantly, and the samurai sword that was thrown out before was still covered with Matsudaira's blood.

"Ah, you are the guy who I thought I needed to be beaten when I first saw it in the bamboo forest. If I got out of the way before I was beaten to the ground, maybe I would be a little lighter."

Musashi pointed Koikiri at the opponent and said.
