The momentum and power are good, but it's too slow.

Uesugi Kiyoshi kicked the ground, splashing water everywhere. Using the recoil, he took small, quick steps backward to dodge the attack.

The heavy nodachi slammed into the ground, creating a tidal wave that crushed a section of the asphalt road and caused cracks to appear on the surrounding ground.

Uesugi Kiyoshi could even feel a slight tremor in the earth, as if an earthquake had occurred; the power of that single strike was immense.

He raised an eyebrow and immediately made a decision in his mind.

This is no longer an enemy that can be defeated with swordsmanship and an ordinary sword.

This big guy might have reinforcements; now is not the time to dawdle.

Let's use our trump card to take him down first!

He stopped abruptly, flicked his sword fingers into the air, and muttered incantations.

"Hyakumonogatari".

"The Scroll of Inugami".

"Secret technique!"

"Evil will be annihilated!"

Chapter 62 Special Attack Against Demons and Gods

Uesugi Kiyoshi's dream world is a solitary island floating in Tokyo Bay, within the town of a hundred demons, and in a mirage.

In the dimly lit hall by brass candlesticks, on a ukiyo-e print depicting a procession of a hundred demons.

Beside Uesugi Kiyoshi, a strange, eerie flame that had been burning brightly quietly went out.

He originally possessed four ghost flames, three of which he owned himself, and one was a special effect granted to him by the "Soul-Soothing Light" of the Yingcao.

Now, only three flowers remain.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the three-inch space at Uesugi Kiyoshi's fingertips suddenly became ethereal. Between the real and the illusory, countless streams of light surged from all directions, as if stars formed a sea of ​​stars, and finally transformed into a radiant card.

The card spun three times, flickering with a blinding red light, and suddenly burst into a bluish-green will-o'-the-wisp.

The will-o'-the-wisp devoured the card, and behind Uesugi Kiyoshi, countless gray-black mirages surged out, condensing into a phantom of an Inugami several sizes larger than before.

Wearing a striking blue samurai outfit, with an inuyashiki on his back, a sharp blade in his hand, he exudes confidence and composure.

Inugami slightly opened his eyes, stared at Kuki Akane with an indescribable contemptuous expression, and slowly smiled, revealing a mouthful of ferocious, interlocking canine teeth.

Compared to Kuki Akane, Inugami's imposing presence is more like that of a true demon!

Kuki Akari saw the phantom of the Inugami behind Uesugi Kiyoshi and was greatly alarmed, for this was something he had always been wary of.

From Yokota's memories, he learned of the existence of Inugami and understood that it was this dog-headed monster's single strike that extinguished Yokota's life force.

Even if this thing isn't as powerful as those two generals, it's definitely not weak!

Uesugi Kiyoshi did not give Kuki Akari time to think.

As the "Evil Slaying" technique took effect, the ghostly flames in the Mirage Tower acted as fuel, filling his body with power.

His eyes flashed with the same ferocious light as Inugami's. He let out a muffled roar from his throat, took a step forward, used the momentum to leap, and his body soared into the air, delivering a heavy slash from above towards Kuki Akane's head.

The tattered katana was enveloped in mirage energy in mid-air. Then, a large amount of mirage energy transformed into an eerie red glow, making the sword look like a burning flaming divine sword, blazing with dazzling brilliance in the torrential rain.

The man rises, the sword is drawn, the sword falls.

For a moment, Kuki Akatsuki was stunned, but he immediately gritted his teeth, raised his nodachi, and met Uesugi Kiyoshi's sword.

This time, the result was different from the last time.

Like a crimson ribbon, the katana sliced ​​effortlessly across Kuki Akatsuki's nodachi, easily cleaving the superior weapon in two. Then, with undiminished momentum, it cleaved down with a powerful downward strike.

At the same time, launching a leaping slash, was the towering dog god roaring silently, its blade gleaming with the same crimson light, its aura equally invincible.

One in front, one behind, the two swords combined into one.

Evil will be killed!

The seemingly indestructible copper-skinned, iron-boned creature did not protect Kuki Akane as usual this time. The blade easily pierced Kuki Akane's head, like a red-hot blade cutting through butter, slicing straight through without any hesitation.

Uesugi Kiyoshi landed lightly beside Kuki Akari, his shoes splashing through the rain, making a slight sound.

With his back to Kuki Akara, he straightened up, and the red glow on the Osafune Bizen sword in his hand vanished. Almost simultaneously, the steel katana turned into dust and was scattered by the wind and rain.

Nine-Headed Red looked dazed, his lips moved, but no sound came out.

He turned around as if he wanted to take another look at Uesugi Kiyoshi.

But as he moved, a red light suddenly appeared along the midline of his body, from his forehead to his groin, followed by a splatter of blood.

The 1.9-meter-tall strong man was cleaved in two with a single blow, his flesh and bones falling into a pool of blood. The organs exposed in the cross-section of his body were still throbbing vividly, as if they had not yet realized that their master was dead.

Uesugi Kiyoshi turned around indifferently, and the phantom of the Inugami behind him also disappeared with the wind.

A moment later, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He was fairly satisfied with the effect of this Onmyoji card game.

In Onmyoji: The Card Game, "Evil Slash" was originally a card that enhanced attack power. It was a simple yet powerful card that could enhance Inugami's burst damage and kill the opponent's player.

But for Uesugi Kiyoshi, the principle of "evil must be slain" is different.

If Heart Slash is the sword that shatters the enemy's mental defenses, then Evil Slash is the sword that shatters the bodies of ghosts and gods.

In simpler terms, Evil Slash possesses an extremely strong "targeting of demons and spirits".

If the enemy is an ordinary human, this strike is no different from any other strike.

If the enemy is a ghost or spirit, Evil Slash will transform into a blood-red light that vanquishes evil, attaching itself to the sword and devouring all the ghosts and spirits that obstruct its progress.

Although the Inugami is a demon, it is also skilled at slaying demons.

Hating evil as if it were an enemy, and killing evil on sight!

Maki Higashimoto, who was observing the battle from the side holding an umbrella, was stunned. If the initial charge was still within her acceptable range, then Kiyoshi Uesugi's final move, Evil Slash, was a sword technique she had never heard of before.

She had just witnessed Kuki Akane's formidable physique; it was impervious to the swords and blades of mortals. It was indeed the powerful esoteric practitioner that Kagura had described.

But he was so easily killed by a single sword strike?

Her breathing quickened slightly as she stared intently at Uesugi Kiyoshi's retreating figure.

If she has grown in any way compared to her past self, it is that she now has a more urgent desire for power.

When Kagura resolved to sacrifice herself to cover her retreat, she experienced such strong doubt about her own beliefs for the first time.

She disliked fighting and killing, so her talents were never fully realized, and she could only watch helplessly as her childhood friend Kagura died for her.

That.

If I become stronger.

Will all of this change?

She silently asked herself the question, but dared not give it an answer.

After all, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl. While her peers could still freely enjoy their youth, she had to face such a heavy choice.

But anyway.

Looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi's demon-slaying sword, Azuma Maki felt a strange longing in her heart.

To possess power.

It turns out that this is such a reassuring thing.

Let's push the time back a little by three minutes.

Outside the alley, beside the main street.

There were many corpses in black suits lying haphazardly, all with fatal wounds to their throats, clearly the work of the same person.

Kagura leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Her originally red and white shrine maiden outfit had turned completely blood red.

Half of it was the enemy's blood, and the other half was hers.

Despite the fierce attacks of Kuki Ao, she assassinated all the men in black suits, but she herself was also seriously injured.

The Nine-Headed Demon Ao on the opposite side seemed to know that she was at her last gasp, and smiled fiercely, preparing to use the nodachi in his hand to send her to her death.

Kagura's cute little face was filled with despair.

Am I going to die?

The young lady must have escaped.

Damn it

Why did the Nine Demon Brothers become so strong?

ah.

If there is an afterlife, I wonder if I will ever be able to meet the young lady again.

The rain made her feel cold all over, and the loss of blood also took away her body heat. With the combination of the two, her head felt dizzy and she almost fainted.

In the midst of her dream, she suddenly heard a vibrant female voice.

"Ah?"

Are you fighting?

"My father said that a swordsman should have a chivalrous heart, be willing to help others, and draw his sword to help those in need."

"Big guy! I'll fight you!"

Chapter 63 Unshackled

Kamiizumi Rin is an idiot.

This was the impression Uesugi Kiyoshi had when he first met Izumi Rin.

Later, this impression changed slightly.
