Chapter 340: The transition chapter to prepare to fight
As soon as Senjo appeared, he immediately killed the Ghost King [Hundred-faced Ghost], which made Su Lun and Miko stunned.
After crossing the threshold of "Sword Master", it is no exaggeration to say that her combat power has more than doubled than before.
What's more obvious is that Senjou is becoming more and more comfortable controlling "Onimaru Hyakume Munemasa". At this moment, in her hands, this demon sword exerts the power it should have as a hell demon weapon. The sword energy is condensed and never disperses. They gathered together on the sharp sword blade, chopping those armored ghost soldiers like melons and vegetables. With one strike, the sky was ablaze with purple thunder, like a thunder and lightning prison, exploding and causing countless ghosts and monsters in the prison to wail in pain.
This is the real "thunder hell" scene.
The three of them didn't spend much time reminiscing about old times. Senjo killed [Hideyoshi], and immediately drew his sword and killed [Kiyu Toyonari Hideyoshi] who was fighting Su Lun.
Both were swordsmen, and when their swords touched each other, fire flew out.
But Qian Jiao clearly had the upper hand, and each strike carried the power of thunder. He was so domineering that the ghost king was retreating steadily...
Su Lun took the opportunity to escape, and the four stages of hormonal rampage were released, breathing heavily.
This time, because I didn't go all out, I also calculated the time just right. Although my body muscles were hot and steam was coming out, fortunately, I didn't get injured all over like last time and couldn't even walk.
He walked over, protected Yuzi by his side, and then swallowed up the "gray mist" on the scorched ground.
Unfortunately, most of the soul and demonic energy were burned away in a baptism of thunder sea, and Su Lun did not harvest many fragments.
But it's better than nothing.
The entry of Qian Jiao changed the situation in an instant.
Su Lun controlled the puppet to kill monsters and clean up the "materials" left on the battlefield, which was quite relaxing.
Not long after, the battle was over, and the ground was covered with corpses of ghosts and monsters.
Su Lun went over to harvest the soul of [Hideyoshi Toyosei] and harvested a large number of ancient military tactics. The demonic aura of the corpse also gave his Death Shadow a lot of "experience".
News of the siege had spread among the monsters. The three of them did not dare to stay near Cangshan. They found a direction and broke out of the siege.
Not long after, there was an unknown mountain stream with flowing water.
The three of Su Lun walked on the gravel beach.
Along the way, they killed another little ghost king and finally succeeded in breaking through.
There was no trace of the monster within a few miles.
Because he walked very quickly before, Su Lun held Miko in his arms all the time. Now the situation seemed to be less critical, so he put her down.
Now that they are free, the three of them have time to chat.
Su Lun was curious about Qian Jiao's current state, so he asked: "Sister Qian Jiao, have you advanced to the level of 'Sword Master'?"
Qian Jiao was in a good mood, with a proud smile on his face, "Of course."
After a pause, she said: "I always felt that there was something wrong with me before. When I saw the statue of "Jianyu Thunder God" in the underground palace, I felt the wisp of high-level thunder sword intention, and suddenly I realized it. I also activated the magic sword contained in it. The sword intentions of past sword masters reminded me of a hell filled with thunder, and I came up with this 'Thunder Hell'."
When Su Lun heard this, she was also happy for her, "That's good."
He estimated that if they were to encounter a big ghost king of [Shuten Doji]'s caliber again, they wouldn't be able to defeat each other, so at least they would be able to protect themselves calmly.
Only when the sword intention turned into gang energy did Qian Jiao have the ability to truly cut through the body-protecting gang energy.
As he said that, Qian Jiaoyou played with the Bodhi pendant hanging on his waist and said, "Thanks to this [Bodhi seed], without this thing, I wouldn't be able to realize that tiny touch of divinity."
Su Lun was a little curious and asked: "What does it feel like to have enlightenment?"
Chijo thought about it for a moment: "It's amazing. It's like I was enlightened all of a sudden, and I caught the feeling of quicksand between my fingers that I couldn't grasp before."
Miko on the side also blinked and interjected apologetically: "Sister Senjo, did I disturb your enlightenment?"
She naturally knew that Qian Tiao wouldn't have to come out in a hurry if Su Lun didn't take her as a "slugger" with him.
"Ah, are you bothering me? It doesn't exist."
Chijo had an indifferent expression on his face.
As she spoke, her expression flashed with embarrassment, and she said: "Actually, I advanced yesterday. Since you didn't send any communication, I asked you to strengthen your relationship. I also stabilized my realm and accumulated my sword energy."
Hearing this, Yuzi looked startled.
Su Lun rolled his eyes as expected.
This gambling-addicted young woman's temperament would be weird if she didn't tease her.
Qian Jiao looked at the expressions of the two people and suddenly put his arm around Su Lun's shoulders. He said with a mysterious smile: "By the way, Su Lun boy. Have you tried it? I'll tell you."
A surprise?”
""
When Su Lun heard this, he rolled his eyes and had no intention of paying attention.
It was said that he lowered his voice deliberately, but in fact, the content of what he said was clearly heard by Miko on the side.
Senjo grabbed Miko again and said, "Oh, if we can't get out, wouldn't it be a pity not to try?"
Listening to this straightforward teasing, Yuzi rolled her eyes helplessly.
In the next few days, Su Lun and the three of them were on the road to kill various ghosts and monsters.
Yuzi's "Tang Monk Meat" is really effective, and those monsters can be found from far away.
Now Senjou's combat power is very exaggerated. Although she is only at level 5 now, she has mastered the "dominance" that only level 6 professionals can use. This makes her sword energy have a super armor-breaking effect and kill those spiritual elements.
The monsters are very sharp.
Moreover, the sword intention of the "Thunder Hell" that she understood was very compatible with the demon sword, and she was able to unleash all the abilities of the hell demon soldier "Zong Zheng" to a large extent. The original demon spirit was too exaggerated, and she used the power of the demon sword indiscriminately.
There is also the possibility of being possessed by demons, but the Buddhist Dharma of [Bodhisattva] can suppress it, which completes this most critical link.
Qianjou, who is now holding the demon sword in his hand, is like taking a "forbidden object" that will not be cursed and slashing at will at any time.
Even Su Lun is not easy to evaluate her combat power.
I estimate that as long as there are no ability restraints, sixth-level professionals can fight.
The trio worked together tacitly to ambush monsters in various barren mountains and mountains.
Miko acts as bait and senses monsters, while Senjo and Su Lun are responsible for killing monsters.
In just a few days, they surrounded the ghost city and killed more than a dozen ghost kings and thousands of ghosts.
Su Lun also shed a lot of demonic energy, and his law of death increased exponentially.
This made him feel that the world of Huangquan in this book seemed to be different.
However, those ghosts are not stupid. No matter how tempting Yuzi's aura is, their own lives are not at stake.
Slowly, the efficiency of ambush became less and less.
Su Lun collected a lot of information about the Underworld, and he knew almost all the monsters here. Especially those with big names, they knew all their abilities. When they encountered those who couldn't be defeated, they would go around and eat away at them, and those who could defeat them all.
annihilate.
Just after Su Lun and the others planned to ambush a large wave of zombie monsters [Blood Drought Demon] from the ghost town, whose leader was one of the "Eight Demon Kings of Underworld" with the same status as [Shuten Doji], they completely ran out of "business".
Even if they use various methods to provoke and lure the enemy, those ghost kings will not be stupid enough to come to them again. Occasionally, they can kill a few kid who have never heard of the "evil reputation" of the three people, and it is not enough to squeeze their teeth.
Before they knew it, Su Lun and the others had stayed in Huangquan Kingdom for more than twenty days.
The dark and cold gray moon will always hang in the sky of Huangquan Kingdom.
At dinner time, in a small dilapidated temple.
The three of them wandered around for a long time and found nothing, so they decided to spend the night here.
Originally, Su Lun planned to wait until the thirty-day effect of [Qishen Niwan] wore off before finding a way out.
But now it seems that it doesn't make any difference whether the breath is leaked or not.
No monsters have come to the door, and there seems to be no danger to life outside the city.
But after all, it is impossible to stay in this cursed space forever. The omniscient eye shows that even if the battle absorbs dark spiritual power, the underworld's energy still begins to pollute their bodies through breathing.
Therefore, it doesn’t make any difference whether it’s a few days earlier or a few days later.
They prepared to contact Izanami, the leader of the Underworld tomorrow.
Su Lun set up the tent, took out the boiler, and took out a pile of food.
Miko was helping to clean up. No one had taken care of her daily life these days, so the princess, who had never cooked before, started to learn how to do it.
Although it is a fast food dish, the food at this meal is also unusually rich. There are dried fish, air-dried meat, canned fruits and dehydrated vegetables.
After heating, the aroma is fragrant.
The three of them gathered around the hot stew pot and ate happily.
It's not entirely a bad thing that there's no need to fight.
The good thing is that they no longer have to hide around, but they can also sleep peacefully and eat something peacefully.
Senjou's sitting posture was very naughty, and she held a sword while eating. While eating, she complained: "Ah, there is no magic these days. Now these monsters have learned how to do it, and they don't come to die anymore."
Swordsmen of the Hell Path practice killing. They are not afraid of fighting, but afraid of not fighting.
It had been a long time since she had met a monster that could make her strike a second time, so naturally she felt a little restless.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Su Lun's face, but there was solemnity in his eyes, "Sister Qiantiao, take a good rest today. If nothing else, things will not go so smoothly tomorrow."
When Senjo heard this, he shrugged noncommittally.
After thinking about it, she asked: "Su Lun, you have collected so much intelligence these days. What do you think the strength of the Lord of Huangquan is?"
Su Lun showed a deep thought and said: "The king is very mysterious. All the ghosts in the underworld have an almost incomprehensible fanatical worship of him. Naturally, there is no record of any fighting."
After thinking for a moment, he changed the topic and analyzed: "However, the strength is not immeasurable. 'Normally speaking', the cursed space is restricted by the laws of planes, and a single individual in the space will not be too high. I think he should
He is a seventh-level person who has mastered certain special abilities."
This is the most reasonable judgment.
The rules of their alchemical plane are broken, and the upper limit is locked at the "demigod level".
This is still the upper limit.
Under normal circumstances, even the cursed space formed after the death of a demigod is only at the seventh or eighth level at most. As time goes by, it will also be affected by the environment and energy.
Su Lun has almost figured out the entire Ghost City of Underworld these days. [Shuten Doji], who has the combat power of a sixth-level professional, is one of the top monsters in Underworld.
There are still a few legendary ghost kings hiding in the city, but they are estimated to have little power above the seventh level.
They are said to be powerful mostly because they have some special abilities.
After all, Su Lun has really seen the divine level.
He didn't think that this "Izanami" would be infinitely powerful.
Whether it is the "fallen angel" or the "god of nature" of the Daru tribe, these are truly living gods.
The gods of Shanyin may have been high-ranking gods in ancient times. But as expected, almost all of the Hotaru must have perished in that "Great Collapse".
Otherwise the present would not have never come.
Nowadays, many of the gods in Shanyin are actually just the personification of a collective of beliefs, and can be regarded as existences at the level of "false gods" and "outer gods".
To put it simply, it is a very powerful "big monster".
Senjo frowned when he heard this analysis.
After pondering for a moment, she said: "Even if we are at the seventh level, we have no chance of winning in a head-on collision. I hope he has no ill intentions."
Su Lun was not optimistic, nodded and said: "Yes. We Yingai focus on how to deal with accidents and I always feel like something is wrong."
After my understanding of the law of death increased, this feeling became stronger and stronger.
Qiantiao: ""
The two were chatting,
Miko beside him said nothing the whole time.
After all, believers cannot speak ill of gods. Even here, she sticks to her beliefs
After eating, the three of them packed up and got ready to rest.
The snowflakes in the sky became denser and denser, and soon they formed a thick layer outside the threshold of the ruined temple. The cold moonlight shone on the snow, reflecting a strange hazy green light.
Probably because tomorrow is the time to decide their fate, the three of them were free.
Su Lun took the notebook he used to collect information these days, like a check before handing in an exam, trying to find possible "errors" in the plan.
Miko is preparing to rest because she has to perform a sacrifice tomorrow.
Beside her, Chijo was lying there with his legs crossed in a wide kimono, as lazy as ever.
Qianjiao looked at the serious-looking Su Lun, patted the place next to him, and said, "Boy Su Lun, come here and have a good rest. We have done everything we can."
When Su Lun heard this, the wrinkles on his brows relaxed, and then he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Yeah."
Yes, everything that needs to be done has been done.
If it is really invincible, it cannot be changed by strategy.
He walked to the tent.
The innermost Miko made room, and Senjo also moved his buttocks, leaving a place for him to lie down.
Su Lun was not polite and lay down next to Qian Jiao.
The three of them lay on their backs on the mat. From this angle, they could see out from the gate of the ruined temple and see the snowy scene outside.
No one spoke for a while, and the three of them just lay there quietly.
There was no sleepiness at all, and the beautiful snowy scenery of Huangquan Kingdom was reflected in their eyes.
Suddenly, Qian Jiao asked: "Su Lun, if we really can't get out, do you have any regrets?"
Su Lun responded in a relaxed tone: "It's quite a pity. In such a wonderful world, there are still too many things that I haven't seen."
As he spoke, he clapped his fingers and said: "For example, I haven't stood on the peak of the alchemy field to see the scenery, I haven't seen the prosperous capitals of the two empires, and I haven't seen other planes. Well, there are also,
It is the most regrettable thing that I can no longer see so many friends I have made."
Senjo sighed slightly when he heard this, and said: "Oh, I even said that we were going to be pirates together for adventure. I didn't expect that it would be bad for us. Don't tell me, I admire 'Fujiwara Hayato' and 'Pirate King Kurosa' more and more now."
These are great adventurers. It’s really good to explore the world and discover the unknown.”
Su Lun smiled and said, "Yes, I also think the career of adventurer is good."
The tone of the two people was inexplicably pessimistic.
And this is also true.
Until now, Su Lun had no confidence that he would be able to get out alive.
Since Yushou Jiye chose to use this [Death Novel], he must have wanted to trap all outsiders here, and it would not be so easy to escape.
What's more, this is a "T-level" space judged by the all-knowing eye. Without a slim one-in-a-million chance of finding it, it is absolutely impossible to get out.
Tomorrow's game,
Very bad.
Su Lun asked again: "What about you, Sister Qiantiao?"
"Me? Everything is fine."
Senjou was very open-minded and said: "I have now entered the 'Sword Saint Realm' and have glimpsed the highest realm of swordsmanship. I have finally fulfilled my wish. It would be even better if I could have another hearty battle."
At this time, she thought of something and asked Miko on her right, "Miss Miko, what about you?"
Miko's personality is gentle and quiet, and when she doesn't speak, her presence is very low.
Even if the three of them were together, most of the time, she would listen silently.
After hearing the inquiry, she responded in a very calm tone: "For us in the Shinto lineage, the process of death is just waiting for the next reincarnation."
As he spoke, he took a deep breath, and the plain white clothes on his chest undulated significantly.
She didn't care about her own life or death, but she was very sorry for causing trouble to her friends.
Yuzi looked sadly and said: "I'm sorry. It was me who implicated Mr. Su Lun and Sister Qianjou, if not"
When Qianjo heard this, before she could finish speaking, she hugged Miko into her arms and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, hey, Miko, you are so unreasonable to say such a thing."
Miko's head was pressed against Senjo's chest, and she was so oppressed that she couldn't struggle.
She could only beg for mercy: "Sister Qianjo, I can't breathe anymore."
Only then did Qian Jiao let go with a playful smile.
The three of them chatted wordlessly for a while, and then gradually became quiet.
The light source of the magic lamp was turned off, and the surrounding area became dim.
The only sound left in the tent was the sound of even breathing.
Su Lun was not sleepy, lying on his back on the mat. The more he thought about it, the strange premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He felt that he had vaguely thought of some key points, but it seemed like he was seeing flowers in a fog, and he couldn't see clearly.
Senjo was sleeping next to him, and the two of them were very close to each other. Large areas of skin touched each other, and the two of them didn't feel uncomfortable. These days, such intimate actions have become commonplace.
Neither of them fell asleep.
Suddenly, Qianjo turned sideways.
Su Lun only felt that his arms were sinking into a heavy softness.
Qian Jiao put her face against his ear and said softly: "Su Lun, if you have a chance to live, then live well."
Previously in Edo, the blind female violinist with the gift of [Tenton Eye] predicted her death outcome.
Since fate cannot be changed, if possible, she does not want to implicate Su Lun.
Su Lun listened and did not respond to her.
The tacit understanding between the two naturally allowed him to immediately know what she wanted to express.
Will Senjo-nee die?
But go up, and that prophecy should be fulfilled here.
This was a thorn in Su Lun's heart.
For a moment, his thoughts became even more melancholy.
Originally this was a very sad atmosphere, but at this moment, Qianjiao suddenly turned over and rolled directly away from Su Lun.
"Change your position!"
She unceremoniously squeezed Su Lun into the middle and fell asleep.
"Bring your hand."
"???"
"how do you feel?"
""
Su Lun guessed that Qian Tiao probably had some evil intentions.
But after changing positions, she held her arms and fell asleep peacefully.
On one side is Senjo, on the other side is Miuko.
What surprised Su Lun a little was that Yuzi didn't push her. She turned slightly sideways and leaned on Su Lun's arm, her breathing gradually calmed down.
