A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 130 Pipa Ghost Fire Corpse Group
Without being too polite to the other party, Asai Nagamasa quickly took Axiu and the little kunoichi on the road. Today they will cross Ise and arrive at Kofukuji Temple as quickly as possible. Asai Nagamasa is really interested in Kofukuji Temple. Very curious.

Although Ise, where many heroes coexist, is recognized as turbulent and even known as the Little Warring States Period of Nippon, probably because they chose the most direct, quickest and most dangerous route, they did not encounter them except for the occasional wild beast. There is no such thing as too much trouble, not even bandits or the like.

After spending a day and staying one night in an empty shrine in the wild, they crossed Ise very easily the next day and arrived at the Tsutsui family's Yamato country.

Not long after continuing on the road this time, Asai Nagamasa suddenly heard the sound of the collision of weapons coming from the front. However, due to the cover of the dense maple forest, he could not see what was happening there temporarily.

He couldn't help but turn to look at the little kunoichi: "Ning Ning, did you hear anything?"

At present, the little kunoichi's perception is the sharpest and the range of perception is the widest, even better than that of the half-demon Axiu.

The little kunoichi nodded: "Ning Ning heard that there is a battle ahead. Do you want Ning Ning to go and scout first?"

Asai Nagamasa waved his hand: "Forget it, no need, let's go together."

Until now, he still couldn't figure out the details of this little kunoichi. Although it seemed that he was not good at fighting head-on, the little kunoichi had unique advantages in reconnaissance and other aspects.

With the ability she has shown so far, she can get pretty good treatment in any ninja house she goes to. Even the famous Iga or Koga will definitely not be stingy with a jounin spot.

But she resolutely chose to follow her, was it just because of Kato Danzo's intercession and the fact that she saved his adoptive father's life?

But from what he has seen and heard so far, the relationship between the little kunoichi and her adoptive father does not seem to be very deep.
However, he had no reason to reject the other party, not only because he really needed elite ninjas like the little kunoichi now, but also because from his current point of view, the other party did indeed come to him sincerely.

The horse continued to move forward, and soon the sound of the battle ahead became clearer and clearer. However, Asai Nagamasa listened carefully and found that the footsteps were extremely noisy, indicating that there were many people on the battlefield, but he only heard a young man. The man shouted as if everyone else was mute.

At the same time, a faint sound of pipa came from nowhere. I really don’t know what kind of person would be so leisurely and relaxed under such circumstances.

Jumping off the horse and tying it to a tree first, Asai Nagamasa then drew out the tachi Bizen Yucheng. No matter whether there was an ordinary little demon causing trouble in front of him or a bandit blocking the road and harming people, for him now, the danger was extremely high. It’s too big if it’s not above.

"Ning Ning, do you know there is anything special around here?"

The little kunoichi, who was also tying the horse, tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Ning Ning heard before that there seems to be an ancient battlefield from the Heian era here, so the maple leaves look particularly gorgeous every year. I wonder if this counts?"

"Haha, forget it, of course forget it."

Asai Nagamasa suddenly had some concerns. He looked at the maple tree next to him. Sure enough, it was shockingly red, as if it had been smeared with blood.

He couldn't help but think of what happened in Thirteen Sakura Village a few days ago. The cherry blossoms there were also particularly beautiful, but under each cherry blossom tree, there were more than one dead bones buried.

Although he has not felt the breath of the tree monster here for the time being, the battle ahead must be related to the monster.

He immediately stroked the long knife with one hand and coated it with a layer of blazing flames: "Let's go, Axiu and Ningning, let's see who is fighting alone here."

To be honest, he is still very much looking forward to the monsters he will encounter next, because the gains from several consecutive battles have been almost consumed after summoning shikigami twice last night. Now he has valuable materials in his hands. , only the soul core from Sanmu Bamen was left, which made him who always liked to store supplies feel uncomfortable.

The significance of monsters to Onmyojis is self-evident, and he is looking forward to how many surprises they can bring him.

After turning around a mountain col and looking beyond the trees of varying heights, Asai Nagamasa could clearly see the entire battlefield.

This is a huge concave valley. On the green land in the valley, a young warrior holding a thick-backed machete is fighting alone in a bloody battle.

Different from the tachi currently used by ordinary samurai, his sword was not only much thicker, but also several times wider. It didn't even look like a samurai sword at all.

If it was really made entirely of metal, it would weigh at least dozens of kilograms. It would be very difficult for ordinary warriors to hold it in their hands for a long time, let alone use it as a weapon.

However, in the hands of young warriors, it exerted extraordinary power.

The densely packed skeletons and zombies surrounding him were almost as weak as dead branches. He would be able to easily kill two or three of them with almost one strike. Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, he knew that this battle It has been going on for quite some time.

But even if he is strong and his opponent is weak, his situation is actually not good, not only because this is an ancient battlefield, and there are countless dead people buried there.

Looking around, the skeletons and zombies could not be seen at a glance.

Six hundred, eight hundred, or more?

Although their joints are stiff and their movements are slow, there are not only two kinds of enemies here, but also two little monsters that look like the heads of dead human beings. From time to time, they swoop down from high altitudes to attack them, launching ferocious attacks on the young warriors. biting, or spitting out thin rays of flame.

One of them is composed entirely of red flames, and the other is composed of cold blue flames. Although their appearances are different, they are actually both ghosts and demons.

This makes the young samurai not only have to fight against enemies on the ground, but also be prepared for attacks in mid-air. Even though he seems to have extraordinary force, he is also smart enough to find a few big trees that can be hugged by one person as a backing, forming a situation where one man is in charge. The enemies that can pose a threat to him are very limited, but they are also full of dangers for a while.As for the bursts of pipa sounds Asai Nagamasa heard before, they came from the top of the cliff, where a bald monk was playing desperately.

It's a pity that his technique is not up to par, and it doesn't make a tune at all. Instead, it only creates bursts of harsh noises.

But it's no wonder. Looking at his black and blue face, with his eyes falling out of his eye sockets, you know that he has been dead for a long time. Rather than saying that he is playing the pipa, it is better to say that he is a corpse being played by the pipa. The string is pulling!

Seeing such a fierce battle, the little girl could not help but widen her eyes: "Oh, this is really a big scene!"

In contrast, Axiu became interested. She switched her weapon into a giant scythe that was most suitable for this kind of battlefield with a "swish". She was obviously ready to kill.

Asai Nagamasa chuckled, and his hands had already begun to form magic seals quickly. The huge figure of the Minotaur gradually appeared. Without any hesitation at all, it raised its head to the sky and let out a silent roar, followed by a loud rumbling sound. Launched a charge towards the corpse group.

Its master has already issued an order to it through the spiritual channel: that is to crush these weak enemies and open up a way out for the young warrior in the middle!
After summoning the Minotaur, he started casting spells again, and blazing fireballs soon appeared in the air: "Yes, it is indeed a big scene, but they are the lowest-level enemies. Even calling them monsters is a bit reluctant. So Ning Ning, there is no need for you to participate in the battle. Ah Xiu, you can move around freely."

Although the little kunoichi has extraordinary strength, she is essentially a ninja who is good at assassination. To be able to dominate on a large-scale battlefield, she must be a true samurai like Axiu or herself.

Her weapons also determine this. Unlike humans, many monsters' weaknesses are not so obvious.

A concealed weapon shot into the throat or eyes can kill a human on the spot, but to the zombies in front of them, that is not even a minor injury.

The little kunoichi nodded: "Okay, then Ning Ning will raid the formation for you, and then take a look at the surroundings~"

As for Axiu next to her, after getting the signal from Asai Nagamasa, she immediately stretched out her long legs and chased the Minotaur in front. She never seemed to refuse to fight with monsters, but was full of enthusiasm. of joy.

Although in a sense Axiu's activity had a certain impact on Asai Nagamasa's becoming stronger. The enemies she killed would not make him stronger, but he didn't care about it. After defeating powerful enemies many times in a row, , even the lowest level monsters like zombies can’t help him much.

"Guan Hu, join me and aim at the pipa in the monk's arms!"

Guan Hu immediately responded happily, and soon two blazing fireballs blasted towards the pipa.

The monk who was playing desperately immediately let out an extremely piercing scream. Then he stopped all movements in his hands, hugged the pipa tightly in his arms, turned around and wanted to run away.

The red or blue will-o'-the-wisps in mid-air paused for a moment, and then, as if they had received some order, they flew desperately towards the two fireballs, trying to intercept them.

However, although they were able to levitate in mid-air with their demonic power, they were not fast after all and could not stop the two fireballs. With two loud noises, the unlucky monk was blown to pieces on the spot.

The Pipa in his arms also fell directly from the cliff due to the strong impact, with layers of flames still attached to it.

But soon a blue-black mist emerged from it, and the flame was slowly extinguished.

At this time, the pipa string automatically played a few unpleasant tones without any wind. Then the zombie closest to him seemed to have received some order. It no longer moved in the direction of the young warrior, but leaned over to hold the pipa. Hugged in his arms, he turned his head and wanted to run away.

Seeing this scene, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but smile, and then used the fire bomb technique with Guan Hu again.

This time the zombie was not as flexible as the monk just now, so the two fireballs undoubtedly hit the target. With a sharp scream, the pipa was completely blown away like the monk just now. It exploded into pieces all over the ground.

At this time, the menacing will-o'-the-wisps in midair paused, and then they fell to the ground one after another as if they had lost their ability to levitate.

With a series of soft "puff-puff" sounds, they all fell to the ground, and then the color on their bodies quickly faded, revealing the terrifying skulls inside.

Asai Nagamasa nodded, and then he chased the bull demon who was wreaking havoc among the skeletons and zombies with a knife, hoping to work with him to save the trapped young samurai.

That's right, the monk just now was actually just a puppet, and the pipa was the enemy's true form.

The monster is called Pipa Mumu. In theory, it should be a type of fusangshen, a monster transformed from Pipa.

Its most notable ability is that it can control skeletons and zombies by playing the pipa, or summon will-o'-the-wisps. It is a relatively rare but not powerful monster.

Because their weaknesses are too obvious to him. First of all, they can hardly move on their own. They can only rely on controlled zombies to assist in walking. Secondly, their own attack power and defense are also very low, and they are completely dependent on being controlled by them. of lower level skeletons or zombies to fight.

However, the ability of Biwa Mumu that Asai Nagamasa encountered this time is still relatively weak. If it is Biwa Mumu who has been practicing for hundreds of years, it will have the ability to merge itself with the corpse. At that time, it will Monsters with human bodies and lute heads that can move freely will be much more difficult to deal with.

Of course, even if they have improved in this regard, they are still too weak in other aspects. They are still middle- and lower-level monsters, and they are completely incomparable with the Great Entrance Dao, which is also a middle-lower monster.
