A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

"The best in the world is nothing more than this."

Looking at the giant pit in front of her, Mochizuki Chiyo lowered her eyebrows, her left cheek muscles clenched together, and said with extreme disdain.

At the same time, a burning passion stirred within her, igniting something called ambition.

Since we are immortal, then we, the Nezu ninja, should also have a place in this world.

The thought that even Shingen-sama couldn't do it would be accomplished by her own hands made Mochizuki Chiyo tremble uncontrollably.

"Three Qi Circulate Through the Heavens - Fire - Ascend!"

Just as she was imagining the future, a pillar of fire erupted from the deep pit, then ripped open the ground and hurtled towards her at high speed.

"What's the point of doing this again?"

Chiyo Mochizuki raised an eyebrow, preparing to let Taiichi's slash pass through her body.

But the next second, a warning message suddenly came to my mind, and at the same time, my body seemed to be out of control, and I suddenly dodged to the side.

this......?

"Hehe, you're not completely immortal, or rather, there must be something inside you that I can't cut down."

Taiyi appeared at the edge of the deep pit. His face was clean and his hair was neat, but his clothes were torn.

To be honest, he was a little surprised that the other person was completely unharmed after he beheaded him.

His first thought was that the other person might also have a system boost or something like that, just like him.

In this world, apart from cannibals, he had never seen another human body that could still be alive and kicking after being slashed by him.

Celestial beings don't count; those are half-human, half-plant.

"I was a little confused at first, but now I think I understand what you are."

Taiyi held his sword and pointed it at Mochizuki Chiyozuki from a distance. As he squinted at his opponent, the opponent's data also appeared in his eyes.

Name: Mochizuki Chiyozuki

Age: 82

[Life span:? ? ? (99)]

[Essence: 4829.3]

Qi and Blood: 3955.8

【God Soul: 112.3】

"Although my strength is comparable to that of an Upper Moon demon, just like when I change my attributes, the data in parentheses is the original attribute of my body."

"If that's the case, then there must be something inside her."

"Let me think, what else in this world can be associated with immortality...?"

Taiichi suddenly twirled his sword, moving to one side while staring at Mochizuki Chiyotsuki with a playful tone:

"Leader of the Nezu Ninja, you don't happen to have a worm living inside your body, do you?"

what!

The moment Taiichi finished speaking, Mochizuki Chiyote's pupils contracted sharply, and the fingers hanging at her sides subconsciously bent slightly.

If someone were to argue here, they would probably sigh and shake their head, indicating that the feeling of being seen through is not pleasant at all.

"Just as I thought, possessed by insects?"

Although Taiyi guessed the answer and appeared calm and composed, he was not at ease inside.

Why are items from the Fountainhead Palace here?

Could it be that Sakura Dragon can move now? Or has a new dragon heir been born?

Since the Fountainhead Palace also exists in this world, based on the ending of the original work, the second generation's attempt to sever the ties with the immortals must have failed.

"To be honest, in the Sekiro ending of this world, the Dragon's Return is the ending I least want to see."

However, some things are beyond our control.

We should deal with what comes next; right now, dealing with the enemy is what we should be doing.

Thinking of this, Taiyi consciously activated his inner core, filling his entire body with true energy.

But as soon as he made a move, Mochizuki Chiyo also started to move. However, compared to her excited expression just now, her expression was now full of anger.

All I want to do is kill Taiyi as soon as possible, and then settle accounts with that guy named Yuhu.

"Ninpo Technique: Needle Falls!"

"Well done!"

In Taiyi's eyes, the opponent waved his hand, and hundreds of flying needles, enveloped in qi and formed directly from qi, rained down on him like a storm.

Faced with this move, he neither dodged nor avoided it. He circulated the three energies within his body, transforming them all into fire energy, which he then poured into the Futsu-no-Mitama in his hand.

【Three Qi Circulating Through the Heavens - Fire - Burning the Heavenly Wheel】

Call ~

The massive, arc-shaped slash, with the force of a wildfire, instantly vaporized all the incoming flying needles and continued its attack on Mochizuki Chiyozuki.

Seeing her attack countered by Taiichi in such a simple and brutal way, Mochizuki Chiyogetsu felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her eye.

"Invincible!"

There's no need to fight to the death with the other party. Although, judging from Taiyi's words and my own physical performance just now, the immortality power that the jade pot gave me seems to have some flaws.

But even if it's a flaw, the fact that the head was severed and then healed is true.

If we can't win, then we should retreat!

The essence of being a ninja is to prioritize your own survival when facing an insurmountable enemy.

"Ninja Technique·Phantom Ran!"

With her hands forming the "皆" (jie) seal, dozens of phantoms identical to Mochizuki Chiyozuki instantly appeared around her, moving back and forth and leaving trails of afterimages.

But during this time, when no one was paying attention, she instantly formed the "array" seal, causing her aura to weaken instantly, as if she no longer existed in this world.

"Hahaha! Yamada Asaemon Taichi, all of these are me, and yet none of them are me!"

"If you want to kill me, wait until your next life!"

"The ninjas of Nezu will haunt you like demons forever!"

Dozens of identical faces, all displaying disdain, then leaped up in unison and began to flee in all directions.

Amidst the swirling illusions, Mochizuki Chiyo's true form gazed at the vast world before her, ignoring Taiichi's presence behind her, and only wished to leave as soon as possible.

Damn samurai, wait until I've dealt with Gyokuko, then I'll come back...

puff!

"You..." In mid-air, while still flying, Mochizuki Chiyo felt a chill in her chest, as if something had entered from her back and then emerged from her chest.

With wide eyes and a slow downward gaze, he discovered a sword tip, radiating white arcs of electricity, protruding from his chest.

"Why are you......"

With an incredulous look in her eyes, Mochizuki Chiyo turned to look at Taiichi behind her, whose face was cold and indifferent, her mind blank.

She really couldn't understand why she was moving back and forth with more than a dozen phantoms, and then scattering and running away in all directions.

How could the other party find my true identity so quickly?

"How did I find out your true identity? Simple, I have data in my eyes, you idiot!"

Pfft!

Taiyi twisted his wrist, changing the sword from vertical to horizontal, and then swung it with all his might, splitting Mochizuki Chiyogetsu's upper body in two.

That wasn't all. With his five fingers forming claws, he aimed at the remaining half of the body, looking at the smooth, flat cut of the pile of internal organs, and directly inserted his hand into it.

squeak!!!!

Taiichi pulled a centipede, about the length of a forearm, out of the half-corpse of Mochizuki Chiyogetsu.

"As expected, you're possessed by an insect. Let's see if you survive this time!"

With a sudden, forceful clench of his fist, a red and yellow liquid oozed out from between his fingers with a "plop" sound.

At this moment, Taiyi also received a notification from the system.

[General point +70]

"It's finally over. Once I get back, I can remove the negative effects of the Water Transformation skill and then give my stats a proper boost... Hmm?"

As Taiyi fell from the sky, just before he was about to hit the ground, he was suddenly enveloped by a layer of water.

Blood Demon Art: Water Prison Bowl

Through the layers of ripples and the curtain of water, Taiyi saw the Jade Pot on the opposite rooftop, which was already in a molting state.

He wasn't afraid of Heishi, so naturally he wasn't afraid of Yuhu, who was ranked fifth.

What made Taiyi's expression turn serious was that the jade pot he saw at this moment was slightly different from its appearance in the comic.

"His right hand, which is burning with flames... doesn't it look a bit like a prosthetic arm?"

Trapped in the water bubble, Taiyi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, staring wide-eyed at the other person, and suddenly felt a little incredulous.
