Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 187 The Asura Ape
The breeze blew through the maple forest, and Isshin and Arakawa followed the "traces" left by the ape.

In just a few minutes, they passed through the maple forest and came to the wilderness.

The setting sun was about to sink between the mountains, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

And the source of this bloody smell came from the front.

The sound of the blade cutting the skin came to the ears clearly, and the howling in the throat was replaced by the sound of bloody grunts... The ape with its back to Arakawa Nozomi and Yixin slowly exerted force, and finally "cut" the spy's head completely down.

Then, he straightened up, stretched his limbs as if stretching his body, and his whole body was full of flaws.

If possible, Nozomi Arakawa wouldn't mind a ninja kill at this time.

But that's only if, the ape at this moment exudes a sense of danger from the bottom of the mountain, and as a ninja, his senses are much sharper than ordinary people. Its own concealment is thus not discovered.

But at this moment, the ape raised his eyebrows, and seemed to have found the target again, and instantly jumped into the bushes on the left.

There was a rustling sound in the grass.

Arakawa was taken aback for a moment, he had also noticed the movement here before, and thought that some kind of animal was hiding here...

But judging from the current situation, it seems that this is not the case.

The ape raised its huge axe, and was about to chop down on the bushes.

It is not difficult to imagine that if there is a person hidden in it, his blood will dye the whole bush bright crimson.

But before the giant ax struck down, the person hiding in it slowly came out.

Arakawa widened his eyes.

The person hiding in the grass...is Yongzhen! !
Why is she here?
Arakawa Wang couldn't figure it out, but the thing had already happened. If he didn't take action at this time, then Yongzhen, who was still a child, would definitely lose his life!

Arakawa Wang was about to draw his sword, but Yixin stopped him.

what happened?

Nozomi Arakawa hesitated for a moment, but calmed down and stood upright like a statue.

After calming down, he understands that even if he doesn't intervene, Yongzhen will not die in the timeline, because he is "excessive", a variable inserted into the timeline forcibly, and only rash actions may lead to Yongzhen's accident.

But he didn't understand why he wanted to stop him.

Could it be... a sliver of hope that the ape would still be sane?
The young Yongzhen looked at the ape, at the giant ax that was still dripping with blood, and she did something.

It would be a lie to say that she is not timid.

But in this life-and-death situation, she didn't run away, she just took out a crushed rice ball from her bosom and handed it to the ape, staring at the ape silently with a pair of bright eyes.

Her hand was held up for a long time, and time seemed to flow very slowly, but it was longer than the speed of the giant axe.

She was still young, and she didn't know why this man with overgrown hair like an orangutan who gave her rice balls wanted to kill her at this moment.

She handed an ape rice ball, not a naive deal for life.

It was because this orangutan gave her hope in life, so she also wanted to give this gorilla some hope.

Yongzhen looked directly into Shura's eyes, hoping that the distressed orangutan would recover after eating the rice balls.

However, the ape finally made a move.

Falling into the way of Shura, he has already forgotten the child he brought back from the battlefield ruins with his own hands.

In his heart, he only needs blood, regardless of age, regardless of strength, he only needs to kill.

A soft sigh came from next to his ear, Arakawa looked at what he saw, with a resolute face, he drew his sword wholeheartedly, and strode forward.

Since it has fallen into a ghost, it must be beheaded!!

The ape turned quickly, years of ninja training honing his amazing sensory abilities.

When Izaru turned around, both Arakawa and Isshin saw his blood-red eyes, but when Izaru saw Isshin, he didn't seem to recognize him.

He's on the verge of losing control.

The current ape is completely a beast that acts with the will to kill.

"Is it still like this after all?"

At this time, Yixin put the sword back into its sheath, but his right hand kept holding the hilt, not letting go even a little bit.

Nozomi Arakawa knew that this was [Ashina's starting move of Ashina's Cross Slash]. It seemed that the duel between Izaru and Isshin would only last an instant.

The ape keenly noticed Yixin's arrival, and he felt threatened.

So he gave up on Yongzhen, and turned his ax on Weiming Yixin.

Nozomi Arakawa seized the opportunity, took advantage of the time when the ape was diverting attention, hooked the tree trunk with a hook rope, arrived in front of Yongzhen in an instant, picked her up and slipped away.

After all, it is better to keep her away from the battlefield.

Next, you just need to watch from a distance...

However, what happened next was beyond his expectations.

An ape is chasing after him!

Arakawa Moto is dumbfounded. Shouldn't you have a life-and-death showdown with Isshin?

What are you chasing me for?
I don't have emergency syrup on me, shit!

But he soon understood why the ape was after him.

He saw the thirst for blood in the ape's eyes.

Ape thought that Nozomi Arakawa wanted to escape, and he would not let anyone present.

He will not allow anyone to escape, everyone present is his prey!

The speed of the ape is very fast, and it is worthy of the name of "flying ape".

Nozomi Arakawa was quickly overtaken by him, and in desperation he could only throw Yongzhen to Yixin and draw his sword to fight.

"boom!"

There was a crisp sound of blades colliding, and large sparks erupted in the air.

Then, the long knife in his hand broke...

Arakawa stared blankly, facing the heavy ax that continued to fall, he immediately used the body technique of flying across the floating boat, changing his body in the air without touching the ground, avoiding this overbearing blow.

"Come on!"

At this moment, Yixin caught Yongzhen and urged her to hide in a safe place.

Xiao Yong really ran to the back of a big tree, not forgetting to hold the rice ball in his hand.

She hid behind the thick tree trunk, poked out a small head, and observed.

The ape who fell into Shura took advantage of the victory and pursued him. Arakawa Wang hesitated for a moment, but still did not intend to pull out the wedge pill.

This knife will definitely be recognized by Yixin, and it will be too troublesome for him to track it down.

So Arakawa Wang quickly came to Yixin's side with the help of the hook rope, relying on the thick branches.

But he was one step too late, and a huge shadow enveloped him.

Arakawa Wang's heart sank, he didn't need to look at him to know that it was definitely not the dark clouds that blocked the sun, but that he was covered by an ape.

The ape was directly above him at the moment, and the heavy ax struck from the air, and its power was enough to split Arakawa Wang's skull.

In the air, he will have nowhere to hide! !
The reason why the ape is called "Flying Ape" is because he has been running and jumping in the Bodhisattva Valley for a long time, and is accompanied by apes.

run, jump.

As simple as it sounds, it's something a five-year-old can do.

But his practice in Bodhisattva Valley is accompanied by death. Every time he jumps, the god of death will accompany him with a half-moon sickle. It only takes one slip, and the practitioner will fall into the abyss and never recover.

So the ape's agility is even better than that of the butterfly and the owl.

"I have no choice but to fight back?" Nozomi Arakawa was about to pull out the wedge pill behind him.

Life is the most important thing, isn't it?

If it was a wedge ball, it would definitely be able to block the force of the giant axe.

However, at this moment, Yixin spoke.

"Come toward me, boy."

Isshin's right hand silently pressed the handle of the knife.

Arakawa Nozomi did not hesitate and fell directly in the direction of Isshin, while holding the handle of Kakimaru's knife.

　That's it?
