Swallow Back

Takeda Shingen had no choice but to pull out the weapon he was wearing.

That's a nice dagger too.

In terms of brilliance alone, it seems that it is no worse than the long light of the long ship.

But the gap between users is too great.

In Liu Yun's view, Takeda Shingen's movements were really slow, clumsy and weak.

You don't need any skills at all, just follow your intuition and you will win.

But at this moment——

After reciting the incantation for a long time and making dozens of complex gestures, Honganji Xianru finally completed his grand technique.

"……Amitabha!"

I can't understand the lengthy words in front of it at all, only the last one knows what it means.

With the completion of the mantra, radiant bright balls of light appeared in six directions simultaneously up, down, left, right, front, and back of Liuyun.

And it swelled rapidly, as if trying to wrap him up.

The ball of light enveloped all corners, so naturally there was no way to dodge it.

Liuyun and Takeda Shingen passed by each other, and the blade of the long captain Nagamitsu had already penetrated into each other's body.

With a look of fear and resignation, Takeda Shingen stared at the deep and long wound on his chest and abdomen with wide-open eyes, and black-red blood gushing out filthy miasma quickly, and fell down slowly.

At the same time, Liu Yun was also engulfed by the dazzling light.

I don't know what attribute this light is, but I intuitively know that it is a great threat.

The light curtain swept across in an instant, and Liu Yun's whole body was in severe pain.

Almost howled.

It is different from piercing, squeezing, swelling, and slashing, and it is also very different from the feeling of burning, freezing, and electric shock.

It's not any kind of injury that can be said, or it's just a special pain.

Indescribable, indescribable pain.

Every inch of Liu Yun's body couldn't help twitching violently, his bones were also trembling, and his internal organs seemed to be about to explode.

Seeing this, Honganji seemed slightly relieved, showing a wry smile.

"Takeda Daizen... The poor monk is still a step late. But you have left a ray of soul in Shishan and Kai, so there should be hope... eh!"

The sound of Honganji's murmurs came to an abrupt end.

Because, when Liu Yun was enveloped by the ball of light, he endured severe pain, concentrated his last remaining strength, and threw the long knife in his hand.

In other words, it wasn't thrown forcefully, it was just to drive the fighting spirit in his heart, causing "Long Captain Chang Guang" to fly out by itself.

Then the blade broke through the light curtain like a sharp arrow, and pierced Honganji Xianru's chest, as fast as lightning, startled like a swimming dragon, and there was no way to avoid it.

The smile on the tall, thin and fair monk's face froze immediately.

"It's really scary to be a younger generation... Fortunately, the poor monk is not as fearless as Takeda Dazen, and he specially sent a clone to come..."

Then, Honganji Xianru—or to be precise, Honganji Xianru's avatar—disappeared, leaving only a pool of water flowing on the ground.

The light curtains around Liu Yun gradually disappeared.

The indescribable severe pain just now lessened a little, and then disappeared immediately.

But Liu Yun was almost at the point of exhaustion, and immediately collapsed on the ground, he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.

At the same time, the magic circle that enveloped the sky over Kyoto also completely collapsed.

……

Two to three kilometers to the west, Oda Nobunaga finally broke out from the siege of monsters, then he looked around, greeted the generals briefly, and immediately asked: "Who broke the Honganji Xianru?" With the magic circle set up by Takeda Shingen? Gonroku, Manchiyo, Sakon, and Houzi are all by my side, and it’s a bit surprising that there are such capable people in the Oda family.”

All the retainers looked at each other, unable to answer this question.

Only Mrs. Gui Die's eyes lit up, she smiled and said: "If my guess is correct, it must be Sasaki Liuyun from Omi."

Oda Nobunaga looked at the rare cheerful look in the eyes of his wife. At first, he was a little suspicious, and then a trace of undetectable anger flashed across his face, but he suppressed the negative emotions in an instant. Showing an enthusiastic attitude, he said with a smile: "Hehe... It's really rare that this person can win Madam's favor, it's rare..."

Chapter 182 Liuyun's Great Crisis

When the magic circle ended, all the monsters were immediately released from their madness.

The mainstream culture of monsters is cold and life-threatening.

Even if they wanted to kill deliberately, they would prefer to lurk in for a sneak attack, or try to distract the guards and attack civilians who are unable to fight back, rather than confronting the heavily armed human army head-on.

Thousands of monsters besieged Oda Nobunaga violently before, which was obviously abnormal.

Now that the effect of the magic circle disappeared, the monsters knew that they no longer had the ability to resurrect, and their minds were no longer under control, so the fighting spirit disappeared sharply, and their morale dropped to almost nothing.

Seizing this opportunity, Oda Nobunaga finally cooperated with the inside and outside and broke out of the encirclement.

There are a few who are violent and reckless by nature, and they still want to fight to the death when they are hotheaded, but they are easily killed by gestures.

Stretch out your finger, say the word "death", and let the enemy explode by itself, turning into a pile of blood and flesh.

What kind of astonishing means is this?

Seeing this, the other monsters hurriedly speeded up to evacuate.

He was still muttering incomprehensible words such as "If I had known earlier that I would not have come to deal with this lord".

Didn't they know the goal beforehand?

Or did you only know the bright image of Oda Nobunaga before, but this time you saw another layer of identity?

unknown.

Anyway, these thousands of monsters disappeared in an instant.

The soldiers of the enforcing office and the Sakuma family's army also suffered heavy casualties, and they were only happy that they rescued the lord, so why would they want to pursue them?

Oda Nobunaga, who has always had revenge and is very strict, has not been demanding on this for the time being.

He even gave a little pep talk to his retainers.

From this point of view, Oda Nobunaga's temperament seems to be slightly different from the past.

However, after such a big turmoil, he was almost killed by a monster, and finally escaped from the sky. With such a tortuous and thrilling experience, it is only natural that his speech and behavior have changed a little!

Everyone felt that there was no need to think about it.

I didn't even think about it carefully, and all my energy was focused on the next thing.

Rescue and treatment of the injured, compensation for the families of the deceased, restoration of law and order in Kyoto, repair of damaged buildings... There are many places that need to spend manpower and financial resources.

Not to mention the inevitable vengeance on the enemy behind the scenes.

Now Oda Nobunaga has publicly stated that the other party is Ishiyama Honganji and Kai Takeda's family.Although the retainers didn't quite understand how the conclusion was drawn, the process was not important. Now that the crowd was raging, it was not the time to carefully distinguish, it was good to have a target for revenge.

Takeda Shingen is in a state of death in the public impression, and the name should have shocked everyone.But now everyone has just experienced the siege of monsters that is rare in a century, and their resistance to incredible events is relatively high, so they accepted it smoothly.

After all, being in such a mess in the capital has had a severe impact on people's hearts, and the hidden losses involved are incalculable, and it is definitely worth a war of mobilization.

Fortunately, there were basically no casualties among the core members of the Oda family, and the royal family and ministers did not seem to have suffered serious injuries. Of course, whether the latter is considered good news may be a bit controversial.

Other things can be made up slowly with manpower and financial resources, so it is not a fatal problem.

Obviously, the Oda family will be very busy.

Some people will be busy with the aftermath of the work itself, while others will worry about the oil and water involved; some people will be busy organizing counterattacks, and others may covet the power of affairs; some people will be busy investigating the details, and here Inevitably, there will be some important ministers who are eager to throw the pot away, and may also implicate the royal family, various sects of Buddhism, and some other forces in Kyoto.

It doesn't really mean "it's going to be busy next time".

The important ministers of the Oda family were already busy immediately.

Everyone was thinking hard, fighting openly and secretly, trying to appear in front of Nobunaga more times without arousing resentment.

Either to claim credit, or to blame, or to take the lead in follow-up matters.

Shibata, Niwa, Hashiba and others were besieged together with Nobunaga, and persisted for almost a whole night, and now they all seemed to have just come out of a pool of blood, with countless wounds on their bodies.But no one was in a hurry to receive treatment. Even if they used knives and guns as crutches to support them, they still stood beside Oda Nobunaga with their heads held high.

Murai Sadakatsu and Sakuma Nobuei lost a large number of relatives and retainers in the turmoil, and the latter lost their minds for a while.But there would be no time for mourning.Try to leave a sense of presence at the first scene as soon as possible, which is a good way to make up for the loss.If it is done well enough, it may even be a blessing in disguise.

All in all, the youkai disturbance in Kyoto is over for the time being.

As for how much follow-up this matter will lead to, it is still unknown.

……

Few people knew that Sasaki Liuyun was in crisis at the market in the eastern suburbs of Kyoto at this time.

Although in the question and answer of Oda Nobunaga and Guicho, he has been listed as the first contributor to this incident-at least he is on the candidate list.

"Sasaki Liuyun... this guy is interesting..."

Oda Nobunaga stroked his beard and smiled to make this comment. At the same time, an unpredictable smile flashed on his face—unpredictability is his normal state. Judging from past experience, under this context, everyone subconsciously felt that, It should be a signal that someone will be promoted and reused.

Hashiba Hideyoshi seemed a little proud.He was terribly injured, but he spoke in a spirited manner. Apart from cursing the arrogance and shamelessness of the enemy behind the scenes, he was intentionally or unintentionally mentioning the close comrade-in-arms relationship between himself and Sasaki Liuyun.No one can deny that, they are all bonded brothers now.

Shibata Katsuie, Akechi Mitsuhide, Murai Sadakatsu and others also helped out, expressing their appreciation for this young newcomer.I just don't know if it's for their own purposes, or to show their true feelings.

It is impossible for Nobuei Sakuma to forget that Sasaki Ruun threatened with his father's life.Such audacity is outrageous!But he couldn't say that, otherwise the drunkenness would be exposed.Now it can also be inferred that it was because of the monster's spells during the battle that he became unconscious and couldn't meet in time.

What's more, this matter is related to Mrs. Gui Die!

Speaking of Mrs. Guidie, she was the only one who mentioned: "According to Mr. Nobunaga, the enemies are actually Takeda and Honganji. I don't know if Sasaki Liuyun is safe or not."

Oda Nobunaga nodded slightly, and said in a casual tone: "Send someone to look for it. If it is true that this person has made meritorious service, I hope he can still be rewarded alive."

Only then did the search for Sasaki Liuyun be included in the agenda.

It's a pity that it's obvious that the distant water can't quench the near thirst.

……

Just now, Liu Yun tried his best to kill the demonized Takeda Shingen, but it took too long, after all, he couldn't escape Honganji's powerful spell that seemed to take a long time.In the end, he forcibly threw the "long ship long light" in his hand, barely breaking the clone of Honganji Xianru.

He defeated the two powerful enemies and put an end to the evil Kyoto circle.

But he also fell into the situation of running out of oil and lamps.

However, at this time, there is still a one-eyed old man silently lurking beside him!

This so-called "one-eyed lord" is not an opponent at all in front of Liuyun. He seems to be servile and flattering to Takeda Shingen and Honganji.
