[Slow Wear] Assassin System

The red and crimson cherry blossoms in the world, the past seems like a dream; in the world, is there anyone who can live forever?

This is destined to be a sleepless night.

The city walls of Kyoto have been emptied, and Yu Guang's coalition forces are resting in shifts while setting fire to the walls. They have been fighting for a whole day, although there are many short breaks interspersed during the period, but for ordinary people, this is a challenge. huge burden.

But now is the last step, and they must persist.

Yu Guangzhong is looking up at the towering wall. There is nothing on the wall, but the flame can be ignited out of thin air. The flames are scorching the outer wall of Kyoto, rendering the night sky into a dazzling color, as if the ominous sunset It's far from over.

There was a bloody and scorched smell in the air, which was the smell of corpses being ignited in the flames, and it was also a sign of the purification of ghosts. There were ghosts howling in his ears, but Yu Guangzhong just thought it was his own illusion.

Izumi Shigemitsu looked at the high wall in front of him in horror. He didn't know why the flames were ignited out of thin air on the wall, and what was even more frightening was that there were ashes falling down one after another, as if there was really some firewood there.

"Is it... a ghost?" Izumi Shigemitsu murmured to himself, "Or... the Demon King Oranobu Soki..."

Izumi Shigemitsu's panic represented the thoughts of most soldiers and generals. There are many demons and ghosts in this world. Many people who have seen ghosts know that flames can hurt ghosts. The newborn ghosts are invisible to human beings. Now this scene is the most good incentive.

Zhixin's ghosts have been purified, and the coalition army can only think so.

"We have defeated the letter-weaving troops under the capital city, and only the capital city remains." Yuguang Zhongzheng issued an order, "We will attack the city when the flames die down!"

"Orinobu Muneki still hasn't shown up. Could this be a conspiracy!" Hanbei Ando was very vigilant, "My lord, Orinobu Muneki is cruel and shameless, maybe Kyoto is the next sweet black city, we have to guard against it!"

"I know, I understand your concerns, but Zhixin Zongqi didn't come forward..." Yuguang Zhongzheng was still looking at the city wall, and whispered in a voice that only the generals could hear, "The dragon gun went to assassinate him. "

The retainers looked at each other, and no one could speak. At this time, the flames beeping in the distance and the noise of people were mixed together, impacting their eardrums.

After a long time, Izumi Shigemitsu clenched his fists hard: "Teacher...Teacher, is he alone?"

Yu Guangzhong didn't look back, he just stared at the city wall blankly, the flames reflected his eyes scarlet.

He didn't speak, but Izumi Shigemitsu understood the answer. Zhixin Zongqi didn't show up, which means that the teacher succeeded-whether he killed Zhixin Zongqi or not, but serious injuries can definitely be done.

But what about Nobu Asakawa?No one can guarantee that he is safe, but he succeeded in sneaking into the enemy's camp and assassinating the lord... The most likely result is about being frustrated.

Everyone was speechless for a while. Asakawa Xuan was not only the belief of the army, but also the predecessors and colleagues who were admired by many generals. He would make this choice. How could this not make everyone feel sad and indignant?

But at this moment, the soldiers who were lighting the fire by the city wall suddenly erupted into a huge noise. Yu Guangzhong subconsciously rode forward, but saw a samurai rushing in panic: "The wall, the city wall of Kyoto, can't be ignited!"

"Calm down!" Yu Guangzhong yelled in a low voice, "So what if it can't be ignited, this shows that the ghosts are punished with all their sutras!"

The warrior trembled all over: "But, but the city wall is frozen!"

Yu Guangzhong was shocked, and he got closer to the city wall, only to be surprised to find that there was dirty blood seeping out of the high wall, the flame had indeed been extinguished, and there was something reflecting light at a higher position— —It was indeed ice, very thin, very thin ice.

This is midsummer!The frozen city walls in summer...

There is a wind blowing from the capital, which is cold and biting, and it can make people shiver when it blows on people, as if the season has returned to early spring.

Yu Guangzhong was gritting his teeth and looking at the high wall in front of him: "The demons have been eliminated, only the culprit remains, attack the city!"

-----

Miao Xuan completely opened up his spiritual power world. What he has to do is very simple and bold, that is to directly pull Zhixin Zongqi's spiritual power into his own world, and then completely divide and defeat him.

Miao Xuan's complete spiritual power field is already comparable to a small world. He is far above Zhixin Zongqi in terms of quality and quantity of mental power. Extremely corrosive and polluting, it is easy to be infected with this filthy power if you choose a decisive battle with mental power.

Zhixin Zongqi is worthy of being the devil king of this world. He has countless innocent lives in his hands, and this person has extremely bad hobbies. He often makes the people he kills into demons and let them devour them after their souls have no peace. This led to the contamination of his power.

But Miao Xuan's mental power domain is just the sea of ​​vitality. It is not impossible for him to purify this kind of filth, but the time and energy required for evolution are not small.

But so what?Miao Xuan could afford this price.

In the realm of spiritual power, the dark smog in the sky settles and falls, and the golden ocean rushes and rolls back. They impact and wrap the smog. The moment the two come into contact, it is like water meeting fire. At the same time, violent energy burst out from it.

The mist melted quickly, leaving only dull gravel, which were mixed into the clear golden sea water from top to bottom. In an instant, the sea water that came into contact with the mist became cloudy and dull, as if it had lost the luster of life. The turbid seawater flowed back to the boundless ocean, and then there were countless new currents rushing backwards, constantly impacting the dark clouds in the sky with an indomitable posture.

What a magnificent and tragic scene is this?

The bright gold exploded in the sky like fireworks, and then quickly became dimmed. The dumb downpour covered the wide sea area, stirring up endless waves on the sea surface. At first glance, they seem to pollute the entire sea area, but then there are countless transparent colored volcanic eruptions rushing out from the bottom of the sea!

The system looked at the epic scene in front of him in shock. He looked at the turbid seawater with distress. No one knew better than him the tranquility and beauty of this sea area, but now this beauty has been polluted by foreign filth. .

【Brother Second!Let's use Resurrection Armor! 】The system is not reconciled, 【This is enough! 】

Miao Xuan didn't answer him with words, all his attention was focused on the sky of the spiritual domain, and his answer was to bury the little fox in the sea water to prevent the little thing from being drenched in sewage.

The golden ocean is still tumbling, this is Miao Xuan's domain, his tempered soul, his will here is the iron law and law, and all outsiders can only submit.

The smog in the sky was quickly dismantled, and the remaining residues looked so pitiful and dirty. They filled the sky like ashes raised by a fire.

The golden sea water never stops, they continue to surge, as if to clean the entire sky, after washing over and over again, there is no more haze in the sky, only a piece of clear and clean silver, so a thin protective layer It was rolled out properly again, and the silver-white sky was dyed with a magnificent color like glass.

The system stared at this kind of sky in ecstasy. He never knew that the sky in the spiritual realm was so precious. The sea water loosened its hold on him, and the little fox was able to climb out of the water. He lowered his head and stared blankly at the muddy sea below him. , I couldn't help but shed tears after a long time.

It turns out how clear and beautiful sea water is!Now it seems to be covered with a thin layer of dust, and it looks a bit dirty.

"What are you crying for?"

The system looked up, only to realize that Brother Miao had stood behind him at some point. Miao Xuan was still wearing Zhao Zilong's model, but his face looked a little tired.

[The seawater... the seawater has become like this...] The little fox jumped up and landed on Miao Xuan's shoulder, [Will this hurt Brother Miao? 】

"You mean this?" Miao Xuan looked at the sea and smiled, then he slowly bent down, and finally sat on the sea, "I think this is a good thing."

"This touch of gold is a gift from the world of the night. It is the blessing and prayer of mankind. It fills my spiritual realm with vitality." Miao Xuan gently touched the surface of the water, and the warm sea water was still floating under his hands. Boiling water waves.

He held up a puddle of water with one hand, and in the water, dark and dumb particles could be vaguely seen, the size of which was like sand, and these were the leftovers from this battle.

The gravel in Miao Xuan's palm slowly settled, and finally lay quietly in his palm, while the water layer returned to a clear pale gold. Miao Xuan let the water pour from between his fingers, and then he clenched the palm of his hand tightly. gravel.

"Is Zhixin Zongqi's power really harmful? I don't think so." Miao Xuan signaled the system to take a look, "Zongxin Zongqi's power comes from countless painful souls. I took away all his power, and the same Inherited his sins too, but what if I have the power to purify these souls?"

The system was stunned: [Brother Miao... Do you want to purify these powers? 】

Miao Xuan opened his palm towards him: "Look."

The system looked again, only to find that there is still some dark sand in Brother Miao's hand?There are only a few small particles that are as transparent as glass beads, which reflect the magnificent brilliance of the sky, and are as lovely and clear as small gemstones.

The system was stunned: 【This is...】

Miao Xuan threw the small glass beads into the seawater. They seemed to be very heavy, and they fell straight down. When they hit the seabed, they will also become part of this sea area.

"That's the essence of the soul, isn't it beautiful?" Miao Xuan stroked the fox's tail on his shoulder, "How can there be a soul that is so ugly that it is useless in this world? Will be the cornerstone of the sea, resting forever on my seabed."

[But this is too much. 】The system looked at the endless sea, and most of the places he could see were polluted, 【When will it be purified...】

"What are you afraid of? The most important thing I need is time." Miao Xuan picked up the little fox and put him back on the surface of the sea. Well, curse or not, everything will eventually become a part of me."

Miao Xuan looked at the sea water and laughed: "Maybe one day, life will be born in my sea area?"

The ocean is the most tolerant and gentle thing. She is the origin of life, and may one day become the grave of life, but no matter how the cycle of reincarnation changes, she is always here, unchanged from ancient times.

Weaving Nobushi, the castle tower.

The cocoon that was entangled with the sword ghost was finally broken. The sword ghost tore the cocoon of the demon god, and the blood dripped from the wound, and then silently seeped into the ground full of thorns.

"Dragon—Dragon Gun!" Dao Gui tried to call out the name of Dragon Gun, but there was a bone in his throat, and the only sound he could make was a low and hoarse roar.

The top floor of the castle tower was dim, the sky outside the window was as black as ink, there seemed to be a faint fire on the wall in the distance, and the loud voices indicated that the war had started again.

Yu Guangzhong is here.

Daogui gasped, he turned around and saw a huge black cocoon, which occupied half of the castle tower, but he knew that Zhixin Zongqi and Longqiang were inside.

Without further ado, Dao Gui turned around and attacked the huge black cocoon. He was assimilated when he was trapped by the demon god. The several swords presented by Dragon Gun had already been broken, and now he could only use the new claws.

——But this is useless, the facts have proven this thousands of times, he is too weak to tear the shackles that trap him, and he is also unable to provide help for Dragonlance.

In the dark night, Dao Gui didn't know that he made the sound of a dying beast in front of the huge black cocoon. The black cocoon became colder and colder, and finally froze his blood on the surface.

The white bones could already be seen in the sword ghost's hands, he silently got up from the ground, staring blankly at the black cocoon that had been covered with frost.

The Dragon Spear is not afraid of fire - Dao Gui suddenly thought of this.

Dragon Spear is not afraid of fire, Yuguang's army is outside the city...

The sword ghost turned and ran down the castle tower. He mechanically smashed the furnishings in the castle tower, ignited layers of fire to ensure that the flames would not go out, and then he turned and rushed out of the city.

The sky before dawn is the darkest, and the ice on the black cocoon seems to have affected the whole of Kyoto. This thousand-year-old capital, which is in the middle of a war, is as silent as a dying old man. Only in the midsummer The cold current that appeared shuttled through every corner of it.

Dao Gui didn't look at the surrounding scenery, he borrowed strength from the budding treetops, at this time Yu Guang's army had already breached the city gate, their flames could be seen from a distance, street fighting started beside the city gate.

Zhixin's army is still stopping them.

-----

Miao Xuan opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Zhixin Zongqi's face.

I don't know when the spider's nest has shrunk, and the tentacles that bind Miao Xuan's limbs have disappeared. He is still lying on his back in Oranobu Soki's arms, and the outside world is only left with a cocoon-like black shell surrounding them. two people.

The air inside the cocoon seemed to be frozen, bitingly cold.

Zhixin Zongqi also opened his eyes, and his pupils returned to the pitch black of a human being. Only then did Miao Xuan realize that this man's eyes were beautiful.

This time Miao Xuan easily pushed away Zhixin Zongqi's arm. He got up and looked at the target this time: "I won."

"Well...you won." Zhixin Zongqi laughed, his face flushed sickly like an ordinary person, there was no resentment or resentment in his expression, his eyes were shining, "It's really a beautiful ocean, If I can see such a sea area, I will die without regret.”

The power of demons, ghosts and gods has indeed given Oranobu Soki almost everything - the dominance of the world, the boundless power to control people's hearts, and the endless long lifespan...

But until this moment, Oranobu Soki really got rid of the stench and pain like a tarsus, and he seemed to smell the scent of early spring cherry blossoms again.

Maybe it's an illusion too?After all, the last time... the scent smelled by the soul of the sword ghost was Sakura, right?In the early spring of this year.

Scarlet Crimson Sakura...

"There are actually a lot of people who can kill me." Zhixin Zongqi looked at the people in front of him, "But I wiped out Buddhist temples and took Takigawa one after another. Later, I thought there was nothing that could kill me."

Miao Xuan was silent for a moment, then raised the gun, but the strange feeling made him stunned. He looked down at his own long gun this time, sighed helplessly, and then turned to Zhixin Zongqi: "Any last words?"

"Last words? You mean... death poems?" Zhixin Zongqi smiled. After his words fell, the surrounding black calluses turned into powder and disappeared. Surrounded by flames.

No, it should be said that the Tianshou Pavilion was set ablaze, this kind of man-made igniting that did not pull down every corner...Miao Xuan understood immediately that this must be done by the sword ghost, it seems that he also ran out, That's fine.

The flame licked the zenith, and the fiery high temperature ignited every piece of wooden material. Miao Xuan stood up and saw the white sky through the wide open door.

. . . it is almost dawn.

"Dragon Gun...why don't you stay with me? Your body is about to collapse, right?" Zhixin Zongqi laughed softly, "Your soul is too huge, this body is not suitable."

Zhixin Zongqi is right, although the realm of spiritual power is an ocean of infinite tolerance, but the modeling of Miao Xuan's current dragon gun is about to collapse-as a battlefield and channel in the realm of spiritual power, it is only now that he can persist. It's a rare thing.

Miao Xuan raised his hand, and inserted the spear into Zhixin Zongqi's chest little by little. He was hardly hindered. Zhixin Zongqi only had a shell left, and he no longer had flesh and blood.

Zhixin Zongqi's power has been completely lost, and all he has left is a body. It's ridiculous to say that what the ghost and god Zhixin Zongqi left behind before his death turned out to be the human Zhixin Zongqi's body.

"I still have someone to say goodbye to." Miao Xuan said softly, "I'm sorry, but goodbye forever."

The dragon spear pierced through his chest, Zhixin Zongqi looked down with a smile, the flames dyed him a faint orange, the prophecy finally came true, but at this moment he was calmer than ever.

"Go, go say goodbye to those people..." Zhixin Zongqi slowly closed his eyes, "I prepared a farewell gift for you, I hope you like it..."

Miao Xuan pulled out his spear. Now he felt that the modeling had a tendency to collapse, so he stopped wasting time and turned around and strode out of the open window.

The flames were beeping, the tall pillars collapsed, sparks were flying one after another, and flames like red lotuses bloomed in every corner. The moment Miao Xuan jumped out of the castle tower, he vaguely heard Oranobu Soki's death poem.

"The red and crimson cherry blossoms in the world, the past is like a dream; in the world, there is no one who can live forever." *

-----

The city gate opened.

The resistance of Zhixin's soldiers became weaker and weaker. Their generals fell one after another, but their lord did not show up at all. Even though there were famous generals leading the army, the morale of Zhixin's army still plummeted.

"Shigemitsu protects the palace! Sakai guards the city gate! The rest follow me!"

Yu Guangzhongzheng's eyes were red, and a layer of black blood had already condensed on his knife. The temperature in Kyoto was as low as early spring, but this strange scene had nothing to do with him. He only knew that he wanted to kill Zhixin's house. Mansion, go open the gate of Zhixin clan.

Zhixin's mansion is located on a small hillside, and now the remaining remnants of the soldiers are gathered there.

At this time, the castle tower in the distance, the extremely tall castle tower that seemed to be the authority of the Zhixin clan, suddenly burst into flames. The speed of the flame burning was so fast that it was like a whole tall building wrapped in the blink of an eye!

The morale of the Dewa Clan's allied forces was greatly boosted, Yuguang Tadamasa only felt his chest relax, and while he led the army to the hillside, he frantically called out for the Dragon Spear in his heart.

The army was in dire straits, but Dragon Spear didn't give him any response.

Why not respond?

Yu Guangzhong felt a pain of suffocation, he stepped forward on his horse and directly took away the command of the cavalry.

Faster, faster!

Yuguang Zhongzheng led the cavalry to charge forward, and he saw Daogui in the dark shadows. The monster covered in bones was wandering in the Zhixin clan's army like a ghost, and killed those generals in the dark .

Dao Gui appeared here... Dao Gui was helping him... This could only show that Dragon Gun was in trouble!And it's still a dilemma that the sword ghost can't do anything about!

Yuguang Zhongzheng wanted to catch him and ask him loudly, but every second was so precious at this moment. He looked at the tower surrounded by flames in the distance. The horizon that has been polished in the distance.

"Breakthrough!!!"

I don't know how long it has passed, someone is yelling loudly, Yu Guangzhongzheng can't feel anything anymore at this moment, exhausted from fighting day and night?The joy of winning?The achievement of defeating the Letter Weaving Army?

These are no longer there, he can only feel the eardrum vibrating with the heartbeat, and there seems to be a bloody breath in the chest, which moves along the trachea, and finally stops abruptly in the throat.

Zhixinshi's mansion is very big, almost comparable to a Honmaru, Yu Guangzhong watched the door being knocked open, and he rushed into the door first.

And at this moment, the sky in the distance finally turned pale, and the sun was about to rise, but the flames on the castle tower still did not go out.

The soldiers shouted in fear and panic one after another, Yuguang Zhongzheng understood the reason for their fear as soon as he entered the gate - the Zhixin family's mansion was full of tall cherry trees, and all the flower trees swelled at this time bud.

How can cherry blossoms that only bloom in early spring bloom in midsummer?It is true that the temperature in Kyoto has dropped strangely for some reason, but it is absolutely impossible for these flower trees to bloom again!

And I don't know if it's because of the light from the fire, the cherry blossoms on these cherry trees all have a bright red color, so beautiful that they are so beautiful that they are so beautiful that they are more beautiful than the red crimson cherry, like a ghost girl who has sucked up blood .

There are water pavilions all over the inner courtyard, and Yu Guangzhong is abandoning his horse and moving forward. At this time, the morning sun has slightly risen out of the sky, and the faint sunlight shines on the flower trees that are blooming sequentially, covering those stretched flowers with a thin layer of golden light. .

Yu Guangzhong just saw Dao Gui. He was standing on the top of a tree not far in front of him. He was wearing the skeleton armor that he had seen when he first saw him. Dao Gui moved faster than him, but for some reason he stood like this. Standing, motionless.

Yu Guangzhong's mind was blank, he stepped forward quickly, then slowed down, and finally stopped under the huge flower tree.

Under the bright red flower tree, a blood-stained young man in black armor was leaning on the tree trunk. He sat on the ground with a long spear with a black dragon tattooed on his shoulder.

The tall flower trees were already full of crimson cherry blossoms, and the unseasonable cold wind caused these petals to rustle, like an ominous rain of blood.

The young man raised his head halfway, as if he was talking to the sword ghost, his blue eyes reflected the sky-high flames and the crimson corolla, Yu Guangzhong walked in and heard that he seemed to be giving instructions.

"... Ah Qing named you 'Zhongli', it's a blessed name, don't use 'Sword Ghost' anymore, it's a malicious curse after all."

"Dragon Gun!" Yu Guangzhong interrupted the young man without thinking, "Dragon Gun, here I come."

"Zhongzheng, you're here too, it's really timely." The young man saw him coming, and there was a gentle smile on his face. This smile is the one Yuguang Zhongzheng is most familiar with and the most common. He has seen it countless times. In Fifteen Nights, In the cold moon night, in the warm spring in early spring...

"Dragon Spear." Yuguang Zhongzheng laughed, "Why are you sitting on the ground, get up and go back with me, you must have been injured after killing Zhixin Zongqi, come back with me for treatment... okay?"

His voice was trembling, and at the end he was even pleading.

Longqiang didn't answer, he just smiled and shook his head lightly: "Zhongzheng, Zhongli, you and Ningning should support each other and walk together."

"Say goodbye to Ningning for me. I'm leaving. Take care."

After Long Qiang's words fell, another gust of cold wind blew, and the crimson petals fell down. The thick rain of flowers seemed to be woven into a heavy curtain. The bright red color was dreamy and magnificent under the brilliance of the morning sun. , perhaps only in the sweetest dreams can there be such a scene.

But after the curtain is lifted, where is the smiling young man in black armor under the flower tree?All that's left is a scrap of rusty iron.

The author has something to say:

*The death poem has been corrected. The original sentence of Oda Nobunaga's death poem is "50 years in the world, the past is like a dream; in the world, there is no one who can live forever.", but this is a circulating version, and I don't know Oda Nobunaga Chang really said something.

---

The farewell ceremony of Oranobu Soki is the out-of-season cherry blossoms all over the mountains and plains. This is what he did before his death.
