I'm really not an old sword

Such a Daoman is definitely not the murderer of his parents.

While thinking about it, but looking at Ashiya Doman who was smiling and seemed to be waiting for something, the Snow Girl always felt a little uneasy in her heart. She thought all the way, thinking about how to ask questions without making Doman angry, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?" asked Ashiya Doman.

The Snow Girl nodded, and finally couldn't help but said: "I, I do have a question for you."

"Just say it."

At this point, the Snow Girl was already 99% convinced that the document was forged by that damned bastard, but she still couldn't help but ask softly, "Um, Lord Daoman, do you know the cause of death of my adoptive parents?"

"What did you hear?"

Feeling Ashiya Doman's smiling gaze, the uneasiness buried in the snow woman's heart suddenly reached its peak.

She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to use the pain to relieve her uneasiness, and tried hard to think of what to say so that Ashiya Doman would not be angry.

"I, I saw some documents in the palace, some about you, Lord Yaki, and me, as well as my adoptive parents..."

What should I say after that?

Should I just ask the Mandarin directly, "You didn't kill my parents, did you?" That would be too hurtful to the Mandarin.

Ashiya Doman was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered.

As if he knew what she was thinking, he nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I killed them."

"Snow Girl knows it's not..."

The Snow Girl smiled, and just as she breathed a sigh of relief, the smile froze on her face.

The color on her rosy cheeks faded visibly, and her eyes, which had become brighter as she fled Heian-kyo, also lost their luster.

She stared blankly at Ashiya Doman, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes: "D-Doman-sama, what do you mean by this?"

"What I mean is that I killed your adoptive parents with my own hands." Ashiya Doman continued to smile, as if he was repeating a trivial matter he had done. "Just as you know."

Ashiya Doman's words hit the Snow Woman's heart like a bolt from the blue.

Her face was extremely pale and her body was shaking. She was as thin as a piece of paper in the cold and howling wind in the canyon.

“W-why…?”

Not getting an answer, the Snow Girl suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head.

She fell to the ground with a scream, her body convulsing like a sieve.

Then, the Snow Girl felt a pain in her body, and her strength drained away from her body like liquid. She opened her eyes and found that she had been thrown into the huge magic circle drawn with ominous blood at some point.

There were multiple wounds all over his body.

The crimson blood mixed with icy blue flowed out as if it were free.

She was already lying in a pool of her own blood.

Her strength was dwindling, and she couldn't even raise her hand. The snow girl tilted her head back, and the figure of Ashiya Doman appeared in her blurry vision. She tried to stretch out her hand.

"why?"

"Is it... because the Snow Woman betrayed Lord Doman?"

“Don’t overthink it.”

"It's just that your life is needed now, that's all."

Ashiya Doman's leisurely voice with laughter seemed to ring in her ears.

Completely shattered the girl's last hope.

The last bit of light in his eyes disappeared, leaving no trace of spirit. His hands were no longer able to support him, and with a "bang", they fell into a pool of blood.

"It is said that when one dies, one recalls their life in a fleeting manner."

This is what Sister Zezi said. She always feels sad. Even if she is living a happy life and feels happy, she will always feel sad about something occasionally.

Scenes of memories flashed through my mind like slides.

The Snow Girl suddenly discovered.

Apart from the memories of living with my adoptive parents as a child, most of the rest were memories of those few days in the palace.

"If I hadn't chosen to leave..."

End of Chapter 55

At the same time, on the top of the mountain outside the canyon.

A black-haired young man holding an invisible sword stood side by side with a peerless beauty with three tails swaying behind her.

Looking at the miserable appearance of the Snow Girl, Lin Qingsu couldn't help but say, "Why do I feel like we've fallen into a trap?"

Tamamonomae glanced at him sideways: "Then just ignore her?"

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou stood silently on the other side of Lin Qingsu.

Watching the two flirting with each other, Minamoto no Raikou actually had a lot to say, some analytical and some scolding Tamamonomae.

But after thinking about it, she didn't say it out loud.

She was afraid that after she spoke, she would not be able to control her desires and would kill Tamamonomae, the fox demon who seduced her own good child.

Although he had some complaints about his "son's" philandering, Minamoto no Raikou did not think it was Lin Qingsu's fault.

How cute and honest your child is when you first meet him.

It was all because of that slutty vixen Tamamonomae that she corrupted her own child!

Minamoto no Raikou became angrier the more she thought about it, and just when she couldn't help but want to "clear the child's side", Lin Qingsu's voice suddenly rang out.

"Ashiya Doman, thank you for your help."

"Leave it to mom." Minamoto no Raikou immediately showed a gentle smile.

Tamamonomae couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw this.

He's full of murderous intent, yet he's still pretending.

This old woman with breasts as big as her head and no sense of beauty at all will one day make you bow your head and kneel down willingly to call me sister.

......

The pool of blood came into contact and merged with the blood used to draw the magic circle.

Magic power poured into the magic circle crazily, and the dirty red color gradually took on a depressing color.

"Are you waiting for me?" A voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the valley.

Ashiya Michiman's smile grew even wider.

In the center of the magic circle, the dying Snow Girl heard the voice and her eyelids moved. She tried to raise her eyes to see who was coming.

Turning around, Ashiya Doman looked at the black-haired man in black clothes walking into the valley and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

"Are you waiting for me?"

Lin Qingsu glanced at the Snow Girl in the depths of the abyss and the magic circle under her.

She lost so much blood that a normal person would have been dead, but what was more serious for her was the curse that Ashiya Doman had placed in her body.

That was what made her lose her ability to resist and was on the verge of death.

You won't die for a while.

However, the magic circle under her is similar to the Holy Grail summoning system created by the three great families of later generations.

But it can be changed with a little Caster.

Lin Qingsu couldn't recognize what it was.

However, Lin Qingsu didn't see it, but Tamamonomae saw something.

"Use the Holy Grail to materialize the power of the sealed Yamata no Orochi."

'But he did some tricks...'

Specific people are responsible for specific matters, and Lin Qingsu only half understood the magician's twists and turns.

While listening to Tamamonomae's explanation, the overwhelmed Lin Qingsu felt that she was the "silly snake with power but no brains, who deserved to be played around by ants."

Specifically speaking, there are only two paths before him.

The first way is to let Ashiya Doman sacrifice the Snow Woman and let Yamata no Orochi descend as a heroic spirit.

The second way is to stop the summoning ceremony.

Lin Qingsu didn't quite understand what Ashiya Doman was thinking.

However, based on his understanding of Ashiya Doman and the problems in the ceremony mentioned by Tamamonomae, he guessed that his loyalty to Yamata no Orochi must be based on interests, and the scene of the Snow Woman's questioning and Ashiya Doman's reaction just now were really strange.

It was so strange that he felt that Ashiya Michimitsu was just going with the flow.

But no matter what, the demon will definitely be saved, just for Fujihara's sake.

"I heard that the more intense the emotions of the sacrifice, the better the ritual will be?"

"That's understandable."

The two seemed like old friends who had met again after a long separation, chatting and answering each other's questions.

Lin Qingsu nodded: "Then..."

Before he finished speaking, a green light flashed in his eyes, and a green shadow of an ancient lamp appeared behind him.

The enormous mental force impacted Ashiya Doman's mind like a mountain or sea.

The smile on Ashiya Michiman's face froze for a moment.

Almost at the same time, a bright purple electric light appeared behind Lin Qingsu, and the sharp long sword turned into unstoppable thunder, slashing straight towards Ashiya Doman's body.

Ashiya Doman came back to his senses.

Looking at the shining thunder, he raised his hand to cast a spell to defend himself, but as soon as he activated his magic power, he felt a numbness in his body, and the circulation of magic power in his body became extremely jerky.

Poisoned? When?

Due to a moment of distraction and the obstruction of the poison, Ashiya Doman could only hastily cast a black barrier in front of him.

The moment it came into contact with the thunder, the barrier shattered and the purple thunder struck him with unstoppable force.

'Bah! '

There was the sound of layers of glass shattering, accompanied by a dull sound of spitting blood, and Ashiya Doman's figure flew backwards like a stream of light, and only stopped with a bang when he hit the rock wall.

"Yakou."

The purple lightning on the long sword has not yet completely dissipated.

Her long purple hair moved without wind, and her eyes, which were slightly stained with excitement, suddenly became extremely cold, filled with bright purple tears.

The destructive thunder that tore everything apart spread from her.

An area of several meters in radius turned into a prison of thunder. Four faint purple shadows appeared around her and finally merged into her body one by one.

"The Bull King summons thunder, and the net of heaven stretches far and wide!"

The hard stone ground shattered, leaving a charred mark.

In an instant, the purple thunder collided with the magic circle shining with scarlet and black light.

The two were like gladiators in the arena, constantly colliding and pushing against each other.

‘Crack! ’

Traces of cracks appeared on the black and red magic circle, and the next second, the purple lightning completely swallowed it up.

'boom! ’

As the barrier of the magic circle shattered, Lin Qingsu rushed into the magic circle.
