For the sake of his own sect and the swordsmanship he created, Yagyu Jubei could not ignore it.
Yagyu saw the broken sword of the villain and the cuts on his clothes. The strange smoothness and effortless control showed that the master of the Tono field who did it was an extremely strong man.
Being able to destroy other people's weapons and clothes so easily without hurting their bodies at all, even Yagyu Jubei himself did not dare to say that he could fully master this method.
It can be said that this kind of side observation has completely raised Yagyu Jubei's interest as a swordsman to the peak. Even if there is no such conflict, he will find a way to contact the right side.
"DUCK, there's no need to teach me this. I think I can discuss and show you something."
The other party's true intentions were revealed. Although the side on the right was a little anxious to get out of the city to find trouble with the monsters, they did not care about this little time.
The serious middle-aged face of Yagyu Jubei subconsciously showed joy, and it seemed that he was really obsessed with kendo.
The fight did not start directly in this broken dojo, but moved to the Yagyu dojo.
It's very simple. There are only bamboo mats and wooden stakes, and it's a real place without any pits or traps. There's no egg on the right side. Even the lamp oil was brought by Liu Sheng's disciples. What's the point of sparring in the dark!
Although it was already getting dark, and theoretically most of the disciples who had families of their own had already returned home, there were still quite a few people at the brightly lit Yagyu Dojo.
These disciples' Qi-cultivation skills were obviously far inferior to their master's. They could not hide the hostility in their eyes when they looked at Youfang. Under the intentional or unintentional propaganda of the two black-faced warriors when they came back to get the lamp oil, Youfang's image in their eyes was obviously not very good.
It is true that I owe money.
This may also be a disguised form of pressure from Jubei Yagyu.
Youfang was quite calm and didn't care at all about the looks and comments from people around him.
It can be said that it is worthy of being the dojo of the Yagyu family. The interior decoration alone is much more luxurious than the Shinmei-ryu dojo at Mahoraka Academy. Not only is everything spotless, but there are also artificial mountains, flowing water, and rivers, which you have never paid attention to before.
There is even a large bamboo forest which theoretically shouldn’t be in Edo Castle!
The right is ready to make a move.
He didn't want to chop, but to climb. His dodging footwork was most effective in closed rooms and densely vegetated forests. Among all the vegetation, the bamboo, which had excellent elasticity and toughness, had the greatest effect on his right footwork.
I remember that it was in a bamboo forest like this that I first encountered my own Fujino and the Ryougi sisters who were unlikely to escape my clutches.
Oh yes, and my dearest professor comrade.
There was a look of nostalgia in the right eye.
Yagyu Jubei slowly drew out his swords, one long and one short, their names were "Yamato no Mori Kotetsu" and "Yamato no Mori Sukehiro".
Maybe it can't be compared with the demon sword Hyuga in terms of preciousness, but it is definitely on the same level as Trainkiri Hiromitsu. Moreover, the power of weapons in the hands of different people is incomparable.
Youfang also made an Iai gesture, and at the same time he was wondering in his heart, if he cut off the opponent's weapon at this time, would this Yagyu fight him to the death?
I have to mention that in this area where cold weapons are the main weapons that have not exceeded your current knowledge, your Death Eyes are definitely bullying you. No matter how others use their Qi to nourish their weapons, no matter whether they hold magic weapons or divine weapons, for you it only makes a difference where they break and how many sections they are broken into.
Weapons cut off by the right side will even become irreparable waste.
Therefore, Youfang was still thinking whether he should just destroy Yagyu Jubei's weapon and cause the whole opponent's dojo to chase him or something.
Seems interesting, doesn’t it?
However, just when the situation was really tense, a disciple suddenly barged in without knowing what was good for him.
Before the disciples could say anything or Yagyu Jubei could get angry and chop people, the clear and rhythmic sound of bamboo tubes being struck began to echo continuously in the sky above Edo Castle.
Yagyu Jubei's expression changed instantly, and his attention was directly diverted away from the right side.
Because he knew very well what the continuous sound of bamboo tube knocking meant. It meant that Edo Castle was under attack from dark monsters!
Competition? Nothing is more important than the safety of Edo Castle!
Without hesitation, Yagyu Jubei put away his sword, turned around, and shouted loudly.
"Everyone! Make sure you have your weapons immediately!"
"Can I go?"
The Yagyu disciples began to move in an orderly manner, and Youfang, who realized the emergency, decisively interrupted.
"follow me!"
Yagyu Jubei nodded directly, then leaped and landed on the roof of his house. The sound of his wooden clogs hitting the roof tiles made a loud noise, and he quickly moved towards the original source of the bamboo tube sound.
The person on the right, wearing Nike air shoes (?), followed Yagyu Jubei silently.
At this moment, with the help of moonlight and firelight, you can see figures like them moving back and forth on many rooftops around. At the same time, you can hear the loud cry of an eagle.
The bird that made trouble during the day appeared above his head again.
Chapter 688: Success of Public Ridicule
Ever since countless fragments containing powerful energy suddenly appeared in the sky one day and scattered all over the world, the entire world has changed from a world of chaos and disorder caused by demons to a world of chaos and disorder caused by demons.
These fragments that are as shiny as silver and as white as jade are not only extremely attractive to demons and can greatly enhance their power, but also have similar powerful effects on strong human beings.
In fact, Youfang also knew that as the central area in various senses during the Warring States Period, there must be holders of Gintama fragments in Edo Castle, and there would probably be quite a lot of them, because as long as one is a human being, they will have the needs of life. If there are no special reasons, everyone will tend to gather in human cities. Regardless of whether they are good or evil, physiological needs such as eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are always unavoidable.
According to the last point described in the previous plot information, the holders of the Gintama fragments will attract each other, which means that the human strongmen holding the fragments and the demons holding the fragments can actually sense each other. The specific range is unclear on the right, but it is definitely not difficult to meet the perception conditions.
A large number of humans = delicious buffet, a large number of fragments = enhanced instincts. It is conceivable that some demons will choose to attack Edo Castle out of instinct.
"What a thick, long worm!"
Youfang couldn't help but sigh at the large demon that was attacking the northwest gate of Edo Castle.
It was a monster whose true form was probably a wild snake, and it was very different in size from the mutated corn snake on the right.
Rather than being a snake, the right side would rather describe this wild hammer snake as a limbless hunting lizard, because its body is too short and too strong, as if it were just a water tank with a snake head and tail attached to the upper and lower ends.
This Notsuchi snake, which was probably about the same size as a standard Gundam, actually roared like a ferocious beast like a bear or a tiger. It did not even try to dodge the rockets and spears fired from the militia on the city wall and looked very thick-skinned.
The wild serpent demon opened its huge mouth, turned it 140 degrees, and began to inhale suddenly towards the front.
An auditory hallucination like a powerful vacuum cleaner sounded in the right ear, and then the arrows and stones in front of the Nochiu snake began to be sucked into its mouth frantically.
With this kind of suction, you can get lung cancer after just three cigarettes.
This Nomachi snake that has transformed itself into a vacuum cleaner is clearly the leader of the wild snake group. A flare that might have been thrown by a ninja temporarily illuminates the sky, and the densely packed snake group below makes one's scalp numb.
This made the warriors who originally wanted to go down and deal close damage to the Nojima snake leader stop in their tracks.
My goodness! If there wasn’t such a flare, those warriors who could only deal close combat would definitely be bitten by the dense swarm of snakes below and escape!
Snake bites may not be that scary given your well-trained physical defenses, but snake venom doesn't care how well you have trained. Once it breaks through your defenses and enters your blood circulation system, your only outcome is basically death.
Yagyu Jubei, who did not expect to encounter this kind of attack from a group of demons and snakes, hesitated for a moment as to whether he should rush out.
Yagyu Jubei is a master swordsman and has killed countless people, but it is unknown how much of his skills he can display when facing such a group of snakes.
He could kill hundreds or thousands of them, but if he was bitten once, he would be doomed.
The poor ordinary militiamen on the front wall of the Wild Hammer Snakes began to cry and look for places to hide or cling to wooden stakes to prevent themselves from being sucked in. The rockets and torches that had originally slightly suppressed the snakes' attack also temporarily lost their source.
However, at this time, professions other than samurai began to show their power.
The ninjas, who were good at using hidden weapons and gunpowder and always acted in the dark, began to throw explosives at the snakes. The intense flames and strong explosion damage had a considerable effect on the snakes that still had biological instincts. The snakes controlled by the Notsuchi snakes obviously showed a state of shrinking.
"they are?"
The right side, who was not in a hurry to take action and was still observing the situation, asked the unwilling Yagyu Jubei beside him.
"…He is a ninja from the Hattori clan of the Iga clan, the shadow of the shogunate."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Yagyu Jubei finally explained it to the right.
Perhaps as a samurai he was unable to cope with the current situation, but these intelligence personnel showed their special side, which made Yagyu Jubei feel a little guilty for not being able to provide effective help.
The Notsuchi snake, realizing that the snake group was in trouble, decisively turned its mouth and started sucking wildly at the Iga ninja.
But ninjas are ninjas after all. Maybe their ability in frontal combat is average, but their ability to move quickly on their feet is definitely something that other professions cannot easily catch up with. When the bulky vacuum cleaner of Notsuchiya turned in direction, the ninjas who realized that something was wrong had already changed their positions.
The wild hammer snake was very angry and began to increase its suction force.
This time the effect was very obvious. Even some not-so-solid parts of the city wall began to shake, and the various wooden fences built above the rock wall began to slowly move away from their area of responsibility.
However, it was at this time that two willow trees that were at least fifteen years old began to grow suddenly on both sides of the city wall in front of it. The willow branches that should have been lush and leafy were now covered with balls of flame!
These fire willow trees shook their branches and threw a large number of fireballs at the group of snakes and wild hammer snakes in front.
The shock in everyone's eyes was beyond words, but the people on the right immediately understood who had done this.
It looks like Hanabishi Reika is also in Edo Castle~
The man on the right stopped paddling and instead formed a seal with one hand. A talisman appeared out of thin air between his index and middle fingers and spontaneously ignited without any fire.
"Front ghost!"
Accompanied by a low growl from the right side, the fire spirit Gengar with a mohawk of flames jumped out from the shadow on the right side with a smile, and in the astonished eyes of Yagyu Jubei, it habitually wanted to lick the right side again.
Of course, the right side also instinctively guarded against the paralyzed tongue licking. After dodging with a casual shake of his head like a boxing champion, he pointed with his right hand at the wild hammer snake in front of him that was still sucking wildly, and made a gesture of cutting its neck.
Hee hee hee hee hee~~~
The smiling face did not change, only the eyebrows straightened from curved, and the chubby little hands directly transformed into a pair of flaming three-fingered claws, rushing directly towards the Nochujira like a jet of flames!
"You...are still an Onmyoji?"
Yagyu Jubei didn't bother to maintain his image as a master and asked directly to the right.
Seeing Youfang nod, an even stranger feeling suddenly arose in Yagyu Jubei's heart. He had never thought that Youfang actually worked part-time as an Onmyoji.
Swordsman plus Onmyoji, is this path feasible?
You know, Onmyoji's position in the Edo Shogunate is quite special...
If it weren't for the flames on his head, it would be impossible for ordinary people to spot Gengar in this light. The chubby guy flew straight towards Nozomi.
Some people who were more knowledgeable recognized that this should be the Onmyoji's Shikigami, but when this fat creature was sucked into the mouth of the Notsuchi snake without any resistance, they were at a loss for words for a moment.
There was no panic on the right side of the face.
He knew that this wild hammer snake, which was probably not well-educated, probably didn't know that not everything could be eaten.
The Notsuchi snake, which was releasing a fierce suction force and absorbing even the fireballs thrown by the flaming willow notes and the explosives thrown by the ninjas, suddenly stopped. Under the illumination of the flares, the Notsuchi snake began to show a painful expression that humans might not be able to understand.
The next moment, flames suddenly burned through its eyeballs from the inside, and the Nochiru snake opened its mouth in pain and began to spit fire from its mouth.
All the holes in the body of this gigantic Notsuchi snake were burning from the inside out. Then, in just a blink of an eye, the Notsuchi snake was burned to carbonization even its skeleton.
Not only the wild serpent itself, but also everything it had previously absorbed had been successfully carbonized and began to drift away with the wind.
Gengar, who was originally in the belly of the Nodame, held up a small, shining fragment in his chubby little hands as if he had won.
Many powerful humans and even the demons hiding nearby suddenly began to breathe rapidly.
Because, this thing is the so-called Gintama fragment!
The Mohawk Gengar glanced around with a smile, then received a look from his master from a distance, and then...
Under the gaze of all the peeping people, he stuffed the fragments in his hand into his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and burped loudly in a very hateful way!
Chapter 689: Looking at People Through Tinted Glasses
[Your former ghost unit "Fire Spirit Gengar" devoured a " Gintama Fragment" and gained a temporary random enhancement - Soul Devouring, gaining the ability to vaguely perceive other fragment holders. ]
[Soul Devouring: The characteristics of the Spirit Fire in the Fire Spirit Gengar have been further stimulated. Now Gengar can try to devour powerful spirits to strengthen itself. 】
[Note that the skill "Soul Devouring" can only take effect if you still have the Gintama fragment. ]
Swinging his big tongue, Gengar slowly floated back to the right.
Many people were watching it, but they also saw the huge Nozuchi snake demon being burned to ashes. Such a powerful demon swallowed the Gintama fragments, and the inevitable result was that it became stronger.
No one would touch a ghost that has become more powerful, at least without knowing its true strength and who controls it.
With the death of the wild hammer snake boss, the group of snakes controlled by the demonic power regained their animal instincts and quickly retreated back to the wilderness forest.
On the other side, the Edo people who were already accustomed to facing attacks by demons also began to quickly clean up the mess. This time they were very lucky to end the battle before anyone was killed. On the one hand, some ruthless people came, and on the other hand, the strength of the demons' siege was actually quite average. It was just that they had not encountered this type of demon for a while, so they had no countermeasures for the time being.
In fact, when the commander saw the group of snakes below, he had already ordered people to collect flammable materials such as lamp oil. Fire attack is really a tactic that will never be outdated.
He patted Gengar's fat head, and under the direct or concealed gazes of the people around him, Youfang took out a bunch of bananas from his arms as a reward and stuffed them into Gengar's hand.
After a period of understanding, it was discovered that Gengar was very fond of sweets. No matter whether it was food that had no effect but could only fill his stomach or the fruit produced by the Harvest Tree, Gengar would only choose sweet things to eat unless it was necessary. This bunch of bananas that restored health was one of the types of fruit that Gengar liked to eat the most.
And I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always feel that the speed of this chubby licking me seems to be getting faster and faster, forcing me to increase my dodging speed at the same time...
The grinning Gengar grabbed the banana and swallowed it without even peeling it, then dived directly into the shadow on the right. He needed a little time to integrate his new ability.
The improvement that the Gintama fragments can bring to him is extremely limited, but taking this opportunity to stimulate the power of the Spirit Fire is even more powerful. Although the description says that the relevant skills will be lost after losing the Gintama fragments, if someone can directly see the fire skill data panel of the Fire Spirit Gengar, they can see that the fire damage panel is slowly increasing.
