Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 597: Taoist Gods and the Four Heavenly Kings

Zhang Zhiwei rushed into the Kamikaze Squad. After a few encounters, he saw the bodies of the dead Japanese pirates lying in front of him. The sticky blood gathered at his feet, soaking the soles of his shoes.

However, the members of the Kamikaze Squad were like chicken blood, not afraid of death at all. They shouted "Long live the Emperor" and attacked Zhang Zhiwei in a nearly suicidal manner.

At the same time, there were strangers holding sniper rifles and submachine guns in the rear, attacking Zhang Zhiwei's vital points accurately. Bullets rained down like raindrops, hitting Zhang Zhiwei's golden light, making clanging sounds, but they couldn't penetrate it at all.

A group of people ignored the Qi and added it to the blades, and under the cover of fire from behind, they rushed towards Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Zhiwei snorted coldly, and the golden light swept over like a hurricane, colliding with the Japanese swords of those warriors. After a fierce low hum of metal, the Japanese swords broke, and those suicide squad warriors who rushed over were also crushed into meat paste by the golden light that pushed over like a solid wall.

"I originally thought that he would be very exhausted after fighting hundreds of miles alone overnight. Maybe he could defeat the opponent without so many arrangements by relying on the cooperation of the Kamikaze Squad's special skills and firearms. Now it seems that I really underestimated him. The Kamikaze Squad can't stop this man, and it's even difficult for them to cause huge losses to him!"

When he was searching for him, Shigeo Onijima was about to get angry. Now that he had finally seen the real person, his restless heart finally calmed down a lot. He looked at Tsuchimikado Yagaku and said:
"Although the duty of forming the Kamikaze Death Squad is to serve the Emperor, I still hope to reduce some casualties. Ye Guangjun, it's time for your shikigami to go up."

Tsuchimikado Yeguang smiled and said, "Of course it is. I was just using the power of words on them to increase their combat power."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and black fog rolled up behind him. There were shadows and countless ghosts gathering inside. They screamed and rushed towards Zhang Zhiwei. It was a weird and terrifying scene.

Zhang Zhiwei took a quick glance and saw that there were quite a lot of ghosts inside. There was a hundred-eyed ghost with eyes all over its body. There were blue and red ghosts with tall bodies, knotty muscles, and horns on their heads. There were human heads burning with flames. There were flesh men that looked like a pool of rotten meat. There was a wind demon sickle weasel with a body like a weasel and arms like sickles. There was a ghostly blue ghost fire...

Each one is so grotesque and hideous that it makes people shudder.

Among these hundred ghosts, there is no Shuten-doji, the signature thug of the Tsuchimikado family, because his true spirit was destroyed by Zhang Zhiwei during the Dragon Vein Battle, and he completely disappeared and can never be summoned again.

“Shapeless rotten fish and shrimp!”

Zhang Zhiwei put his fingers together and waved them. A blazing sword energy burst out from his fingertips and swept across the dark night, splitting a cat with purple flames burning all over its body into two halves.

The shikigami were furious and rushed towards Zhang Zhiwei one after another. The movement was like a huge black wave. The surrounding Kamikaze Squadrons were frightened and made way for them.

"Call someone, I can do that, too!"

Zhang Zhiwei made a magic gesture and waved his hand.

In an instant, there seemed to be the sound of drums and horns between heaven and earth. A thick fog swept by, and in front of Zhang Zhiwei, there appeared dozens of burly men in full armor, holding swords, spears, and halberds, with fierce brows and angry eyes, and ferocious looks.

Zhang Zhiwei holds a third-rank mage position in the Arctic Exorcism Institute, and has divine generals under his command. In the past, he often summoned these divine generals to repair houses, clean and so on, and they suffered a lot of humiliation.

I thought it would be the same this time, so when they came, they all seemed demoralized and listless, and they were even too lazy to ask for instructions from the Dharma Master.

But after coming out, he found that the ground was littered with corpses, and the surroundings were filled with evil spirits and howling demons.

In an instant, all the gods were shocked, their eyes were filled with murderous intent, and they let out chilling grins, as they finally found a place to use their skills.

"Rush me!!"

Zhang Zhiwei gave an order.

"Follow the law!"

The gods roared loudly, raised up clouds of energy, and attacked the shikigami, and the two sides fought in a group.

The true spirit of the god is hidden in the Dharma lineage and worshipped by Taoism. How can it be compared with the shikigami of the Onmyoji?

For a time, many Shikigami were defeated.

Guidao Shigeo watched this scene from afar and sneered:
"Is that the Taoist god? Nothing special. Let him see the mighty gods of our Shinto religion!"

After saying that, he took out the talisman and began to cast the spell.

Shigeo Onijima is not only an army general, but also the chief priest of the Soul-Calling Society. Although he is proficient in martial arts, his main job is a priest.

Since he is a Shinto priest, he would certainly not forget his special skill of summoning gods.

Different from other Shinto shrines, the objects enshrined in the soul-calling shrine are mostly soldiers who died in battle. These war spirits are inherently vicious and can be easily refined into ghosts for use.

In the Rusty Iron Reappearance chapter, the undercover Japanese pirate Lao Zhang collected some of the Japanese pirates who died in the battle, including those who died in the Toutian Cave, and enshrined them as ghosts to use. However, they were eaten to pieces by Hu Tianbiao.

……

However, what Shigeo Onijima wanted to summon was not an ordinary ghost that had only been raised for a few decades, but a ghost that had been worshipped for hundreds of years.

As he chanted the spell, the talisman in his hand glowed, and a huge vermilion torii appeared in front of him.

Onijima Shigeo knelt down on his knees, lowered his head, raised his butt high, and bowed respectfully:
"Please ask the sixteen gods to show up and clear the obstacles for the empire."

The words fell.

From the huge torii, black qi with eyes poured out, and these black qi coiled in the air like snakes.

Shigeo Onijima didn't go to look at them. Most of these black qi were the residual souls of the soldiers who died in Bincheng before. They were summoned by the chief priest and taken into the shrine. However, because they were too weak and the time of worship was too short, they were now just some useless spirits with little combat power.

What Shigeo Onijima wanted to invite was not them, but the Sixteen Generals of Tokugawa.

The so-called Tokugawa Sixteen Divine Generals were the sixteen military generals who were canonized by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the shogunate, in order to honor the greatest achievements. They are the collective name of the Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings plus another twelve retainers. They have been worshipped from the Edo period to the present and have a very high degree of faith.

Following Shigeo Onijima's request, sixteen figures shining with golden light of faith walked out from the huge torii.

"The Four Heavenly Kings have appeared, Lord Tadashi Sakai, Lord Tadakatsu Honda, Lord Yasumasa Sakakihara, Lord Naomasa Ii..."

Looking at these little golden men, the Japanese pirates were all excited, and most of them focused their eyes on the little golden man in the lead.

The man was about 1.5 meters tall, wearing a deer horn-studded helmet on his head and a black-threaded armor. But what was incongruous was that he was holding a spear that was 17 feet 4 inches and 3 meters long.

The blade of this spear is one foot four inches and three points long and extremely sharp. Legend has it that when a dragonfly lands on the tip of the spear, it will be cut in half due to its own gravity, hence the name "Dragonfly Cutting". The spear handle is decorated with green shells.

Because the length of his spear is similar to Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Lance, he is also called the Little Zhang Fei of Japan and is the best master in Japan in the eyes of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Legend has it that he fought in 57 battles in his life and was never injured, so he was also called the incarnation of "Hachiman Daiboshi", the war god of Japan.

In short, this is a powerful alien who is nicknamed the God of War and the Fierce Zhang Fei, which is equivalent to having the nicknames of Guan Erye and Zhang Sanye.

The appearance of this person was undoubtedly inspiring, and for a moment, the low morale of the Kamikaze Death Squad rose. However, the ninja leader and several elite soldiers of Higashiyama did not look at Honda Tadakatsu, but looked at the man behind Honda Tadakatsu, who was wrapped in a robe.

That was Hattori Hanzo, one of the Sixteen Generals of the Tokugawa Array, and the founder of the Higashiyama Ninja Clan.

There are many ninja schools in Japan, but the most famous are the Iga and Koga schools.

Among them, Hattori Hanzo's father was one of the three great ninjas of the Iga school.

Later, when the Tokuyasu shogunate was established, Hattori Hanzo, as a retainer of Tokuyasu Ieka, established a ninja organization for him.

This organization includes not only people from the original Iga school, but also people from the Koga school, some ninjas from scattered schools, and even some wanted criminals with nowhere to go.

Therefore, this school is a mixed bag, with all kinds of methods. They have always served the Shogun and acted as his killing tools.

It was not until the end of the shogunate period, when the shogun lost power and the emperor came to power, that they were driven into Mt. Higashi.

From then on, they were called the Higashiyama Ninjas, and because they were born as the shogun's swords, they were not very fond of the emperor.

At this moment, they looked at the summoned Hattori Hanzo with burning eyes, and couldn't help wondering, what would the founder of the Higashiyama Ninja Clan do if he knew their current situation?

Unfortunately, the heroic spirit of the ancestor of the ninja has never looked at them straight in the eye since it was summoned.

It's not that he didn't notice them, but that he didn't care at all. They were just a bunch of tools, not even human beings. How could they catch his eye?
Although he is the leader of the ninjas, he is also a retainer of the general and a canonized divine general with status and position, not a tool that is not even a human being.

In fact, what the Higashiyama Shinobi are seeking now is not the Emperor's canonization and pardon? Pardon their sins and canonize them as normal people.

"We, Biheshan, have been abandoned by the whole world. Even the founders are the same. If we want to be accepted again, we can only exchange the heads of the Chinese..."

He thought to himself as he stared at Zhang Zhiwei, who was killing people with every step he took on the battlefield.

Although he really wanted to attack right now, he knew that the prey was not tired yet and had not even started to change its Qi, so it was not the time to attack yet.

at the same time.

High in the sky, a falcon flew over the edge, its sharp eyes surveying everything below.

In the dark, Tang Mingyi's face was grim: "Master, the Japanese pirates have summoned a bunch of powerful ghosts and gods. I'm afraid the little master is in danger. When should we take action?"

Laughing King Tang Jiaren rarely put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "It's not time yet. Have you seen the head of the ninja?"

Tang Mingyi said: "There are several people behind the battlefield. Excluding the known army general Guidao Shigeo, the others cannot be determined. Wait, Master, I saw the figure of Master Dehong of the Tiantai Sect in there."

"Master Dehong is a highly respected master, but he is actually a traitor?" Everyone in the Tang Sect was shocked.

Tang Jiaren said calmly: "Whether he is a traitor or not has nothing to do with our mission this time. I don't care about that. I just want to save my life."

"Mingyi, move the falcon over and fly it over their heads. Whoever reacts first will be the leader!"

An assassin knows assassins best. In such a situation, others may ignore such subtle things, but an assassin will not.

Tang Mingyi hurriedly did as he was told, controlling the falcon and flying over the heads of Onijima Shigeo and others at an extremely fast speed.

Onijima Shigeo and the others were so focused on the summoned ghosts that they did not notice a hawk flying rapidly across the dark night sky.

But the ninja leader felt something in his heart, and when he looked up, his eyes were dim and cloudy, but the moment he saw the falcon, they became as sharp as a knife.

Then, he swung the crutch in his hand, and a stream of Qi energy flew out from the air, accurately hitting the falcon flying through the sky, turning it into a bloody mist.

"Fuck him!" Tang Mingyi cursed loudly, "The falcon was discovered, and the one who attacked was a short old man with a cane. He is the leader."

She quickly described her appearance to everyone.

"With a goal in mind, the rest will be easy to solve!" A smile appeared on Tang Jiaren's face.

"Master, the little Taoist priest is about to confront those ghosts and gods. Should we take action?"

Tang Mingyi continued, stimulated by the corpses all over the ground, she, who was bloodthirsty by nature, could no longer hold back.

"No hurry!" Tang Jiaren said, "The enemy's main force is still concentrated. Although it is easier to wipe them out in one fell swoop, those ghosts are still lingering in the sky. It will be a big problem to get within ten steps. Let's wait a little longer."

…………

…………

On the battlefield, the shikigami summoned by Tsuchimikado Yagaku were defeated by Zhang Zhiwei and the guardian gods.

Zhang Zhiwei put his fingers together and waved, performing the Tiantong Finger Technique, sending out sword lights dozens of meters long and chopping off countless bloody corpses.

At this moment, he noticed the sixteen little golden men rushing towards him, as well as the large number of heroic spirits behind them, their eyes fixed on Honda Tadakatsu.

"They are all so arrogant even though they have little ability. They are as small as potatoes, but they dare to call themselves fierce Zhang Fei. It's a pity that I can't invite Master Guan, otherwise I would have to let him see what kind of character his second brother in Japan is like!"

Zhang Zhiwei grinned. He was not afraid of these messy gods and generals. They were just a bunch of chickens and dogs. He would kill as many as came.

Just as he was about to step forward, suddenly, a bright white light flashed in the dark sky.

Immediately afterwards, a long spear emerged from the light and with a fierce stab, it knocked down Watanabe Moritsuna, one of the Sixteen Generals of Tokugawa.

Then came the owner of the spear, wearing a golden belt around his waist, a red tasseled helmet on his head, and Ming Guang armor. He was tall, with a broad back and strong arms, and was more than twice as tall as the Tokugawa generals.

Compared with this mighty and majestic general with shining armor, the Tokugawa generals are simply humbled by the dust.

The tall general knocked down the Tokugawa general Watanabe Moritsuna with one blow, picked him up like a chicken, and held him high above his head as a demonstration.

"This is the Taoist's Heaven Guardian of the Altar. Who invited him?"

Zhang Zhiwei turned his head and saw that a tall altar had been erected on the railway behind him at some point, with all kinds of complicated Taoist ritual instruments placed on it.

On the altar, Uncle Zhang Yi was wearing a gorgeous Turin robe, stepping on the Yu steps, holding the Seven-Star Sword and pointing at the sky, just like he was recruiting soldiers. Every time he pointed, a blazing white light would light up in the sky, and a divine general would appear.
