Ubuyashiki mansion.
"This time I suddenly summoned you all here. In addition to informing you about the 'Transparent World' training."
Ubuyashiki Yōya said softly:
"There is also news about winding."
"I believe you have heard before that when Xingshou Lang was on a mission, he met Xuan Zhiyi on the way."
"After a fight, Kamado-san was defeated by Mr. Tanjuro Kamado."
Hear the words.
Uh-huh!
Immortal Kawa Saneya, who had just been immersed in self-reflection over failure, suddenly raised his head and turned to look at Tanjuro in disbelief.
That's it...
Encountered one of the upper strings.
Immortal River stared at Tanjuro, who had his face turned sideways, feeling faintly impatient in his heart.
He knows the approximate strength of Shangxian.
At least…
In my mind, a figure who often smiled flashed across my mind.
Saneya's face turned gloomy.
A pillar cannot defeat the upper string.
The information gained from that sacrifice would probably require three or more pillars to barely compete with the upper string.
Saneya's eyes stayed on Tanjuro, and his breathing became slightly faster.
This time, he didn't make a sound.
After a moment of silence, he withdrew his eyes, lowered his head again, and gripped the soil on the ground tightly.
The other pillars had already heard this rumor, and their expressions were not as exaggerated as the Immortal River.
But after receiving the confirmation from the Lord personally, I was still quite shocked in my heart.
Ubuyashiki Yōya continued:
"And, not long ago."
"The Forging Knife Village was attacked by the Three and Four of Shangxian."
After hearing this sentence clearly.
Except for the Yan and Yan pillars, almost all the other pillars raised their heads slightly.
Since the incident happened just a few days ago, the pillars don't yet know everything about it.
"With the restraint and efforts of Kamado-san, Bei Mingyu, and Makijuro, we successfully killed two stringed ghosts."
"There are no casualties in the Knife Forging Village."
Ubuyashiki Yōya raised his head, looked at the approximate location of the three of them with somewhat blurred vision, and nodded:
"Well done, three."
Wow——
This time, even Iguro Kobanai, Usui Tengen and others looked at Tanjuro and three people sitting together in surprise.
Without him, both Bie Mingyu and Tanjuro have relatively silent personalities.
Even more so for Makijuro, no swordsman has ever discovered his traces from the beginning to the end.
If it hadn't been informed by Di Yao, the Zhus wouldn't have known that the Knife Forging Village had been attacked.
Usui Tengen stared at Tanjuro.
He recalled what the other party said when they first met, "I met the ghost king at the door of my house."
In his mind, an idea came up that surprised him.
Defeat the first of the upper strings, kill the third and fourth.
Although Mr. Weimingyu is here.
but…
Yusui Tianyuan's eyes moved slightly.
——Could it be said that... this person's survival from the Ghost King's hands was actually not a fluke...?
After the surprise.
——It is a deep joy and boiling emotions that have been suppressed for a long time.
Immortal River turned his head again and looked at Tanjuro.
He frowned so hard that the scars on his face were slightly deformed.
At this moment, he understood the specific meaning of his lord's words, "Don't be discouraged now."
but.
——Why does this guy keep encountering Shangxian?
Snap.
"There are six strings in total, and there are already two vacancies."
Yao Zai clutched the clothes on his knees when he sat down cross-legged, suppressing his inner emotions:
"Now, it's been hundreds of years."
"The Ghost King is at his weakest moment."
He raised his head, his white eyes revealing his firm will:
"Everyone."
"The critical moment to break the situation is now."
…
…
at the same time.
the other side.
The location of the final selection.
Vine attacks the mountain.
Wow! Wow!
A man dressed in black emerged from the wisteria flowers. When others were not paying attention, he picked a few wisteria flowers and stuffed them into his arms.
Looking at the other people who entered Tengxi Mountain together, they looked determined.
——Idiot?
Yuyue thought.
The few wisterias he stuffed in his arms were enough for him to spend the first two days safely before they withered.
And the remaining five days.
All the people in the mountain are ghosts who have only eaten one or two people. They rely on their own strength to survive in an ignoble way.
——When facing a ghost head-on, there is nothing to be afraid of.
The fox mask around his waist swayed as he moved forward, making a sound of wood colliding.
…
soon.
At night.
Vine attacks the mountains.
Click, click.
"whispering sound."
Huang Yue was walking when he suddenly stopped and looked at the fox mask around his waist, frowning slightly.
This thing makes noise when walking, and when worn on the head, it blocks part of the field of vision.
"...It's such a hindrance."
He muttered, casually taking off the mask hanging from his waist and holding it in his hand: "Why do you need me to wear such a thing?"
"Boring stuff."
He lifted it up, looked at it twice with the help of the moonlight, and then threw it away without any interest.
Snap.
The white fox mask fell to the ground behind Yu Yue.
"Tell the master when the time comes...just throw it away during the battle."
Talking to himself like this, Yue Yue was about to take a step forward and continue walking forward.
at this time.
rustle…
boom!
"What?" Zhuo Yue stepped forward with his legs. He stood still, looked at the ground under his feet in surprise, and then glanced twice at the dark forest ahead.
Just now, the ground seemed to shake!
then.
"Uh huh huh~"
A voice with a strange tone and a hint of laughter came from behind and above Zhu Yue:
"Here we go again, my cute little fox."
! !
The moment I heard this sound.
Yue Yue's heart suddenly tightened, his pupils shrank sharply, his whole body froze in place, and cold sweat suddenly broke out.
ghost?
The sound came from behind and above.
His eyes narrowed and he looked slightly behind him.
In a tree?
I couldn't find it just now...
After forcing himself to calm down, Zhuo Yue's face turned gloomy. He held the Sun Blade at his waist and slowly turned his stiff head to look behind him.
As far as the eye can see.
In an instant.
Wow! Wow!
boom!
The huge shadow squeezed through the trees, shook the whirling tree crowns, slowly walked out of the forest, and stopped behind Yu Yue.
Snap.
The skin turned blue, and veins popped out in all directions along the skin, and the huge body that looked like it was surrounded by countless fat arms was slowly squirming.
The ground seemed to be shaking with every step forward.
The intersection of countless arms crossing each other vertically and horizontally.
Zhuo Yue's face turned pale instantly. He slowly raised his head and looked up, his heart beating faster.
——It was a head hidden in several arms.
The orange eyes contained a mocking smile, and the bloodshot eyes were looking here.
The hand ghost looked at the ground - the fox mask discarded by Zhu Yue.
"Hey, little fox."
His voice came from the neck where his head was submerged by his arms:
"Now...what year is it Meiji?"
Zhuo Yue raised his head, opened his mouth slightly, white mist came out of his mouth, and looked at the huge hand ghost in horror.
--this.
--What's this? !
