It can be said that he is worthy of being the orthodox successor of the power of the Azure Dragon. When the lightning spear was in the right hand, it resonated with the "Inherent Barrier·Kabbalah", so the Blue Soul Pearl embedded in it only glowed slightly. But when it fell into Feng's hand, the brightness was exactly the same as when the Red Soul Pearl was in Haohmaru's hand before, and it was obviously in a fully activated state!
At the same time, Feng himself truly resonated with the Cang Soul Pearl. The originally faint sound of electric current suddenly turned into rumbling thunder, and visible electric light surrounded Feng's body.
And at this moment, along with a dragon roar that resounded through the sky, a thunderclap suddenly fell from the blue sky without even a cloud in the sky, and it actually penetrated the normal barrier set up in the sky of Fushimi Inari Taisha, and at the same time penetrated the shrine roof which was made of solid materials and had become extremely hard due to years of being influenced by divine power, and fell directly on Feng.
Everyone was scared and the UNO cards flew all over the sky, but they were quickly caught back by the people with quick eyes and hands.
The black-haired swordsman who originally had a boyish bun suddenly saw his appearance change drastically as the thunder dissipated.
His black hair turned directly into golden color, as if electric current was flowing through every strand of hair. Moreover, due to the electric charge, his limp hair actually stood up one by one. If it weren't for the fact that he was a little short in length, his hair would have turned into a mop head like a certain Nikaidou.
“Ohhh! Unexpectedly… Unexpectedly!”
The old man Xuanwu was incoherent when he saw his disciple had turned into a blond gangster.
Xue, Feng's junior sister who had seen her senior brother's black-haired appearance for more than ten years, was stunned where she stood.
There is no doubt that Feng has awakened. The power of the Azure Dragon that was supposed to continue to lurk in his body could no longer be hidden after being stimulated by the Cang Soul Pearl.
Feng feels that he now has the power strong enough to avenge his father!
The people around him also expressed due admiration and praise for Feng's sudden improvement in strength.
"UNO! I have another card!"
The right side threw a +4 card to frame Tamamonomae, the player next to him.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn back to the right.
However, Tamamonomae was not successfully trapped by the hateful right side, but instead took out another +4 to make trouble for the next player, Satonaka Itsuko.
This immediately caused all the card players to play the +4 cards they had hidden in their hands.
Since the two decks of cards taken out by the right were mixed together, the +4 cards were 8 in total. As a result, after two turns, they returned to the right. The right hand, which was about to run away with a single card, suddenly had 32 more cards in its hand...
At this moment, the expression on the right side is much more melancholy than that of Sandaifen, whose card game was disrupted twice.
Damn these old coins!
The person on the right, who had the least right to say this, cursed the other card players silently in his heart.
Kaede's transformation suddenly became less important.
Feng, who had been silent for a long time, chose to put down the lightning gun. The moment he let go, the electric current in his golden hair instantly dissipated, and the power of the Azure Dragon fell asleep again.
It looks like it's just a limited awakening, but Feng has basically grasped the feeling of this transformation. It probably won't be long before he can awaken completely on his own.
Yes, Feng had no idea about holding a spear, because as a swordsman he didn't know how to use a spear at all. If he had to hold a spear when fighting, his combat power after awakening might not be as strong as his normal combat power.
After the interruption, it was time for old man Xuanwu to tell the story.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a summary of various side and main storyline quests that can be triggered by the group of players on the right. Because of the team leader on the right, this group of people including the NPCs are not temporarily assumed to be members of the same team, so they are simply put together. Just do whichever task you want. After all, this mission map is basically completely open, you can do anything, there is no compulsion.
Finding a replacement Inari God is the triggering quest for Hakuno Kishinami.
Next is the one on the right.
At present, Suzaku, one of the guardians of the Four Spirits, has completely betrayed and turned into a pure behind-the-scenes boss, while his corresponding Red Soul Orb and the Red Soul Orb's adapted host, Haohmaru, are still on the right side.
The original guardian of Qinglong was killed, and the successor Feng was in a semi-awakened state. The corresponding Canghunzhu also fell into the hands of the right party.
Old man Xuanwu is in good health and it looks like he can live another hundred years without any problem.
"In fact, I have already sensed the power of the other Xuanwu before, but this fluctuation first appeared in Heian-kyo, and then moved all the way to the northeast, and is now almost in Edo."
From Heian-kyō to Edo?
Everyone was a little confused for a moment, but they could confirm that it had been taken by someone.
"Cang Soul Pearl? Crimson Soul Pearl? Does that mean the other Black Tortoise and White Tiger are also small balls of this kind?"
Listening to Ritonaka Yigang's whispered explanation, Asia suddenly remembered something.
"Come to think of it..." Asia raised her voice slightly, attracting the attention of the people around her. "It seems that our leader is also different from before."
“According to other members (lickers), the original leader of the Laixilu Group was completely specialized in strong attacks. His mechanical arm had a strong attack capability that was almost equivalent to that of a battering ram, but not long ago, he abnormally showed a very strong defensive ability.
It seems that a huge air shield of the level of a city gate is formed using the mechanical arm as a medium of manifestation. It can not only defend against any attack within about 270 degrees in front of it, but can even provide some kind of defense bonus to the members of the entire group.
I have indeed enjoyed this defensive aura-like ability during forced marches..."
As Asia spoke, she took out her phone and started looking through the system records.
Although mobile phones cannot communicate in this era, it is still okay not to use the Internet function.
If the right side has time, they can even pull the molecular beasts over to build a new one.
This behavior and language that only players can understand are also converted by the system in some form into information that NPCs can also understand.
"Ah~ Found it!"
Asia showed a rare look of joy.
There was indeed a record in her system record that she had been affected by a skill called "Power of Black Tortoise", which comprehensively improved her physical defense.
It has now been basically confirmed that the holder of the Mysterious Soul Pearl is Lai Xilu, the leader of the Red Lion Mercenary Group. In other words, You Fang will probably have to start running errands again.
Then, the only one left among the four spirits is the white tiger.
Chapter 726: Evil Spirits from Another World
"The White Tiger Guardian Naoie Shigen was originally stationed near the Hell Gate. As a landmark building at the intersection of the ordinary world and the real world, the Hell Gate should not appear in the real world. It is unknown whether it is a good omen or a bad omen that it will appear in Edo..."
After a pause, Xuanwu looked to the right.
"Have you ever seen a muscular man with white hair, a strong body, and a preference for shirtlessness at the Hell Gate, with arms that are mostly metallic in color?"
Some of Satonaka Itsuki and Saotome began to think and recall, while Youfang simply went straight back to the Hell Gate to ask the remaining heroic spirits directly.
Both of them said that they had never seen it, and at the right moment, before the beast claw species he had exchanged died, the right side quickly sent it back, and then shook his head.
"That means he may not have woken up from his deep sleep yet..."
The old man Xuanwu frowned, took out a tortoise shell and a few copper coins from his arms, and threw the copper coins into the tortoise shell seemingly casually in front of everyone. Then he shook it three times, and his old fingers dug in the copper coins a few times, and then his brows frowned even deeper.
"Dragons coiled and tigers crouched...dragons soared and tigers roared...
The White Tiger is auspicious... but a reversed one can bring disaster...
"Tsk~"
The old man was shocked and then turned his head to Feng who was still savoring the feeling of awakening.
"You should not practice the power of Azure Dragon recently. Seal it for now."
Feng's eyes widened after hearing this, but due to the authority of his master, he did not directly refute.
"What do you mean, old man?"
However, Feng is afraid of Xuanwu, but Youfang is not.
The old man sighed and continued.
“The White Tiger will definitely be near the Hell Gate. Even if it was sealed by the Suzaku, it will definitely be near the Hell Gate once it wakes up. However, according to divination, the White Tiger may not be able to maintain its original normal spirit after ten years of slumber and being eroded by the miasma without any defense.
In other words, once the White Tiger wakes up, we will most likely treat it as an enemy."
After a pause, the old man pointed at Feng with the fishing rod in his hand.
"If Azure Dragon's power awakens frequently, it will inevitably speed up White Tiger's awakening. When we are not sure whether it is an enemy or a friend, the safest thing to do is to continue dragging it out."
Feng looked unwilling, but in his heart he had to admit that what his master said was indeed correct.
"As for the other White Tiger's power, it cannot be predicted before Naoki Shigen wakes up..."
The old man was somewhat worried.
Currently, the power to maintain Suzaku, Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise has been gathered. Theoretically, if either White Tiger or the successor of the corresponding power is found, either of them can try to seal the Hell Gate. However, the problem of White Tiger itself is so big, and if he does not awaken, the successor cannot be found, so the progress of things is somewhat stuck.
Coincidentally, just when they were thinking about how to deal with the White Tiger on the right, the Gate of Hell occupied by the remains of the Heroic Spirits suddenly made a loud noise!
Some of the heroic spirits who were originally in a leisurely resting state suddenly entered a state of preparation for battle.
This is obviously the sound produced by something madly crashing from the inside out!
The ghost-faced double doors, which had automatically closed more due to the arrival of day, suddenly opened a tiny gap again.
Although the gap is not as big as it was in the early morning, it is basically the size of an adult's little finger.
The leakage of hell's miasma also increased, but under the full power absorption of the black cup fragments above the hell's gate, this part of the miasma did not leak out too much.
However, the collision did not end there. After that, there were two sounds of knocking on the door, and the gap in the door was directly smashed to the same size as it was in the early morning.
The evil spirits in hell suddenly began to refresh.
Of course, if there were only evil spirits, it would not be enough evidence and would only be material for the remains of a group of heroic spirits.
At this time, Kojiro Sasaki, who had been a standard goalkeeper for quite some time, took the initiative to give up his position to Uncle B. He recalled the three voices he had heard before and began to think.
The first impact sounded very much like a siege hammer, but the second and third were not. Although the force was also terrifying, Sasaki could clearly tell that it was a sound that only a sword could make.
However, the problem is that swordsmen who usually go for the elegant, light, precise or fierce style cannot make such a sound with their swords, unless...
Sasaki Kojiro turned his gaze towards Uncle B, who was chopping and hacking with an axe, sword and knife. The sound he made by hitting the floor and stones was no less deafening than the sound that had just come from the inside of the Hell's Gate.
Sasaki seemed to understand something.
It seemed that the issue of the Four Spirits Seal had to be put aside for the time being, and the old man started talking about other things.
"The current supreme leader of the evil camp is Luo Jiangshen Shuiji. I'm sure you all know that she is preparing to revive the Dark God. The orbs that carry the power of the four spirits in your hands are necessary for the Dark God to revive and become the evil god. In other words, just holding these things may attract the attention of the evil camp...
But I think you can handle it.”
Xuanwu looked to the right meaningfully.
"In order to expand the strength of the evil camp, General Shenshuiji chose to perform a spiritual ritual to summon powerful souls to fight for her. However, there were some problems with the ritual, and she accidentally summoned a lot of ordinary ghosts and otherworldly evil spirits that did not completely obey her. Some of them remained in her camp, but some directly broke away from her control. General Shenshuiji, who was seriously injured by this summoning ritual, chose to capture Tianhu Yuyao and try to mass-produce high-level demons to fill some of the gaps in combat power."
“There are currently three confirmed evil spirits.
One is Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who is still under the control of Luojiangshen Mizuhime and currently exists in the form of a demon soul. According to the information so far, it seems that he is not completely under the control of Mizuhime, but his evil nature cannot be ignored. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful enemy after Luojiangshen Mizuhime.
The second one should not be called an evil spirit. It seems to be a part of the soul split from Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. It is currently possessed by the son of Hattori Hanzo, the leader of the Iga Hattori clan in the justice camp. At least from his current performance, he is an extremely righteous person. Hattori Hanzo, who was preparing to exorcise the spirit before, seems to have temporarily put aside this idea.
As for the last evil spirit..."
Old man Xuanwu's expression suddenly became subtle.
"It is said that a naughty man who was very famous in Owari Province and was called 'the big fool of Owari' was suddenly forgotten by everyone in the world. Instead, a young woman with the same name of Oda Nobunaga and a very strong aura of dominance appeared in public. If I were not protected by the power of Xuanwu, I might have forced myself to forget the existence of the original naughty man. She should be the evil spirit.
I heard that she has completely overturned the tradition of the Oda family, seized the greatest voice in the entire family, and is frantically hoarding iron cannons and guns..."
Chapter 727 Temporary Parting
At present, all the tasks that can be triggered by the group of people on the right are already in front of them.
Kishinami Hakuno and Kurama mainly triggered the task of replacing the Inari God. You need to choose one between Tenko Konghuan, Tenko Yuyao, and Kurama to capture and bring back, uh, rescue and take the blame.
The Four Spirits Sealing Mission on the right is indeed much more complicated than replacing the Inari God. It is not enough to just find the remaining White Tiger successors, but one must also be on guard against members of the evil camp who may actively attack.
However, Baihu is still in such a state that he cannot be saved, which is really a headache.
The evil spirit mission was actually brought by Asakura Ye. As a typical psychic, one of the spirits held by him is a character like Tachibana Ukyo, who is the protagonist's nemesis. Moreover, he is not a guy who does whatever he wants like Ukyo. His code of conduct is more inclined towards kindness, so he will inevitably confront the evil camp.
As a large task system, the evil spirit task has many large and small branches. The largest task is the battle between good and evil between Amakusa Shiro.
It was mentioned before that a part of the righteous soul split from the Demon Soul Amakusa and took up residence in the body of Hattori Hanzo's son. However, for the Demon Soul Amakusa who does not yet have his own body, this body is also something he must obtain.
With only a soul but no body, the soul power in the Demon Soul Tenma will be continuously consumed, and it can only replenish its own consumption by absorbing other souls. Such a Demon Soul Tenma will never be able to obtain enough power to break away from the control of Luo Jiang Shen Shui Ji. In order to stop the loss of soul power, a body that matches the wavelength of one's own soul is necessary.
Even the Gintama fragments that possess enormous soul power can only delay the consumption of soul power, so the evil camp will definitely find ways to attack the Hattori clan's base in Umbelluma Village, Izumo Mountain in the near future, because the righteous Amakusa Shiro Tokisada has no way to leave the village normally without Hattori Hanzo's permission.
Within the village, the Iga ninjas can turn the entire Izumo Mountain into a solid barrier, but if the righteous Amakusa takes the initiative to go out, then the various demons lurking nearby can attack at will.
Even though the righteous Amakusa himself possesses very powerful strength, as the saying goes, a good tiger cannot fight against a pack of wolves. Hattori Hanzo cannot stay with his son all the time. After all, they are also working for the shogunate.
At this time, the player is a very good external support, but whether to choose the side of justice or evil depends on the player's own choice.
Anyway, Makura Ye will definitely choose the side of justice, and in a sense, the type of enemy he is least afraid of is the soul type. Maybe he will have a chance to gain Lingxi plus one.
As for Oda Nobunaga of Owari mentioned by Xuanwu before, although it also belongs to the branch of the evil spirit mission, the knowledge written above investigates Oda Nobunaga's behavior trends. At least for now, he has not yet revealed the same level of disturbing ability as the evil soul Amakusa, and it is still impossible to determine whether he is good or evil, so it is best not to make an enemy of him and don't anger him.
After all, you are fighting against a family. As long as you don’t have extraordinary fighting capabilities, the one with more people will always have the advantage.
