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

Chapter 212 White Viper
As if seeing his surprise, the little kunoichi took the initiative to explain: "When Ning Ning discovered them, it was Master Akechi who was protecting him!"

That's it. I didn't expect that after all the things he had experienced before, Akechi Mitsuhide could still do this.

Maybe in the parallel world, he was known to later generations as a traitor, but at least in this world, for now, he is still very loyal to the Saito family.

But then Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but laugh. Before the incident at Honnoji Temple in the parallel world, didn't he always remain loyal to his lord?
Even in today's world, Dao San, who is famous for his ability to "conquer superiors from below", has tried his best to do many things for his lord, otherwise it would not be his turn to "conquer superiors from below".

In this chaotic Warring States era, there may be many people who advocate "lower overcoming superior", because it can allow them to gain greater power and more power in a very short period of time, but as long as the lord always remains wise and powerful, They will also, or can only continue to remain loyal!

With a little emotion in his heart, Asai Nagamasa gathered some water and wood energy to temporarily stabilize the situation of the two of them, waiting for further treatment and purification later.

Although he still has the Inari rattle in his hand that he had specially made before, and it is much more effective in healing injuries, but it only stores three spells, and he cannot use two of them now, because the battle here has not yet been completed. It’s over!

"Roar!"

As if to confirm his thoughts, an extremely violent roar suddenly came from behind him. Asai Nagamasa quickly turned around, only to find that it was not the Yatogami he expected, but Axiu.

Two huge ghost horns towered above his head. His original black hair turned into silvery white, and his body was covered in gorgeous purple-red armor. At first glance, it looked somewhat similar to Asai Nagamasa's 99 weapon, but In fact it is completely different.

I don't know if she was stimulated by the rich blood of the ghost girl Hongye, but Axiu suddenly relived the scene in Shisan Sakura Village. She lost control again and turned into a monster!

And judging from the strong demonic aura lingering around her and the fangs popping out of her mouth, it is obvious that she is much stronger than before!
Wu Ming next to her wanted to try to stop her, but after only a few moves, she was kicked dozens of meters away by A Xiu, smashing a bunch of stone spears, and she couldn't get up for a long time. He could only lie on the ground and vomit blood.

But the physical pain was far less than the shock in her heart.

Obviously in normal battles, she can compete with Axiu on a par, and even occasionally win one and a half moves, but why did her strength change drastically after Axiu became like this? ?
Moreover, this weird transformation mode seems to be similar to the ninety-odd weapons that Mr. Asai used just now to some extent!

"Roar!"

As if feeling this threat, the Night Sword God, who was standing there in a daze, immediately roared, and then it directly knocked away the large stone spear in front of it, and attacked Axiu with a loud rumbling sound.

And Axiu rushed forward without hesitation, and started a head-on confrontation with the opponent. After being forced to transform into a monster and gaining a considerable degree of strengthening, she seemed to have lost most of her sanity at the same time, leaving only Pure fighting and killing instinct.

There was obviously a huge difference in size between the two sides, but when the two actually collided, there was a loud noise, and an invisible shock wave mixed with a large amount of smoke and dust blew throughout the entire valley in an instant.

At the same time, it also woke up Dao San, who was half asleep due to serious injuries.

When he saw the other party's distinctive appearance and the ghost horns on his head, he was immediately surprised, but when he saw the gorgeous long silver-white hair, he suddenly felt inexplicably familiar.

Even after so many years, he had only seen such beautiful long hair on one woman, and now he finally saw the second one.

And those blue eyes, are they half-demon?

Dao San had vaguely realized something in his heart. Unfortunately, the opponent was wearing a helmet, and his whole body was covered in thick armor transformed by demonic energy. He could not see the opponent's true appearance at all, nor could he confirm the most critical parts.

But he still forced himself to sit up, but such exertion immediately made him vomit several mouthfuls of blood.

"Really, even with Bai Viper's powerful vitality, you can't hold on? Ya Knife God, my old friend, you really gave me a very pleasant blow."

Dao San was still smiling bitterly, but looking at the fragments of internal organs mixed in the blood, and looking at Nagamasa Asai who was casting a spell to save his son and apprentice in the distance, he suddenly had some enlightenment in his heart.

"I didn't expect that I have been working hard all my life to collect spiritual stones to prevent them from being used by evil people. I did not hesitate to bear a lot of infamy for this, but in the end I would be killed by a monster created by my own son. Is this probably retribution?"

Looking at the warrior Hime who was fighting fiercely with Yatogami, Wu Ming who was watching the battle from the side, and Asai Nagamasa and the kunoichi who were running towards him, he couldn't help but reveal a kind smile on his face.

"But maybe I won't be needed anymore. This era will belong to young people. Maybe they will still face many difficulties, but I think they can work hard to overcome them."

As he was muttering to himself, suddenly, Dao San felt that the pain in his body seemed to disappear, and his spirit was fuller than ever before. However, he did not feel any joy, because he had seen many deaths. , knowing that he will soon usher in the complete end of his life, this is his reflection before death.

Suddenly, Axiu's lower back was attacked by the Night Sword God, and a knife with green light fell down.

Just at this time, another giant python flew out from Yatōgami's abdomen. Although Axiu's head was cut off in the blink of an eye, the giant python was still alive and its remaining power still knocked her helmet away. The expressionless but extremely delicate and pretty face underneath was revealed.

Daosan's eyes instantly burst into unprecedented light, and he shouted at the half-demon who was fighting fiercely: "Hey, is your name Axiu?"

But of course Ji Ji, who had turned into a demon, could not hear his shouts. She was now filled with violence and the desire to kill.

"Yes, she is A Xiu, she is my friend and a partner I can rely on."

Far away, Asai Nagamasa took out the Inari rattle and cast a healing spell on Dao San. The other party was worthy of him.

Dao San suddenly felt warm all over, and a powerful and mysterious energy appeared out of thin air, trying to repair his damaged internal organs and body.

But he knew that this was all in vain. Although such healing spells were unheard of, they probably couldn't repair his broken heart and lungs, right?
But he didn't seem to feel sad or painful about it. The smile on his face became even bigger: "I see, Nagamasa, do you know what my original name is?"

Asai Nagamasa was stunned for a moment. From being an oil seller at the beginning, he "conquered the top" all the way to win the throne of the Warring States Period. In order to achieve various goals, Dosan changed his name very frequently. The first and last names he used But there are too many, how can I remember them?

And when are you still in the mood to ask this kind of question now? After controlling your injury first, I have to deal with Axiu's affairs.

Axiu, who has also transformed into a demon and now has great strength, is many times more dangerous than when he was in Shisanying Village!

But Saito Douzan didn't seem to let him answer. He just turned his head and looked straight at the fighting half-demon: "My name is Hideryu!"

As Dao San shouted loudly, Asai Nagamasa saw the snake guardian spirit on him with a large string of Buddhist beads floating on the back of his head, flying straight towards A Xiu, while Dao San's own aura instantly declined. .

This is not an ordinary spirit distribution, but a direct gift!

Axiu, who had just slashed the Yatogami with her sword, was suddenly shocked. Then, under the shocked eyes of Asai Nagamasa, she directly accommodated the white viper without any obstacles, as if it was her guardian spirit!
Asai Nagamasa understood everything immediately.

Dosan’s original name was Hideryu, and the son he gave birth to was named Yilong. So if it’s a daughter, maybe it’s Yixiu, right?

Although he didn't know the details of that year, it was obvious that Dao San seemed to be [-]% sure that Axiu was his daughter, and her full name should be Saito Yoshihide!
At the same time, it seems that Yadao Shen also sensed the aura of the white viper on Axiu, and its movements also stopped. From an old friend.

But soon the bloody aura once again occupied its pupils and brain, and it blinked away all these things. Now it only wants to kill everyone in front of it!
"Ahem, Changzheng, if you can swear to protect my daughter and Axiu, how about I give you half of Meinong?"

After losing the guardian spirit of Shiro, even though Nagamasa Asai's spells were still continuously healing him, Dao San still succumbed instantly.White Viper's ability is poison and strong vitality. After losing it, even though he was once an extremely good warrior, his strength has been weakened by old age and he can no longer hold on.

Asai Nagamasa also almost saw the other party's intentions. After confirming Axiu's identity, the other party seemed to have untied a certain knot at once, and now he just wanted to die.

Therefore, he no longer worked so hard to heal the other party. He even continued to throw spiritual stones seemingly casually while chatting with the other party very leisurely.

"Oh? Why half a Mino?"

Dao San chuckled, looking a little cunning: "Because the other half has been given to Axiu's brother-in-law."

In addition to his six sons, after seeing the ghouls in the Yilong Army, he sent another ninja to Owari, preparing to give half of Mino to the other party, and then wait until another time was right to give the other party the remaining the next half.

Anyway, his rebellious son dared to create and control the power of monsters, so there was no need for Mino to leave it to him.

It's just that I didn't expect that things would happen suddenly. I would meet my daughter here who had been separated for more than ten years and was also Yilong's sister. So let's give the remaining half of Meinong to Nagamasa.

Maybe he didn't even notice it himself, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Axiu showed that he was more than just a friend!

"Brother-in-law? Is it Oda Nobunaga?"

Asai Nagamasa was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that Axiu looked so young, but how much older was he actually than the almost mature frost beauty Nohime?
"Yes, Axiu and Yilong are twins. She is eight years older than Gui Die." Dao San said with emotion.

So, Axiu, who looks no more than two years older than herself, is actually almost 30 years old, almost twice as old as herself?

Hmm, but speaking of it, half-demon does have this function. Abe Seimei seemed to be particularly young at the beginning. While gaining powerful power, their lifespan is much longer than that of mortals.

Although he was very worried about Axiu, after wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Wu Ming still got up and looked at Dao San, and said with gritted teeth: "Master Dao San, please be sure to inform me when this happens. My whole truth!”

Dao San chuckled, looking very cheerful: "Mipo, seeing you and Axiu look like this, I can probably feel relieved."

"Chu Ye Yazhong does not necessarily have to defeat all monsters, because not all monsters are evil."

Wuming's expression changed drastically, and even the hands holding the weapon trembled a little.

Of course it's not because of the injuries she suffered, but because Wu Ming is the unique nickname of the previous leaders of their Chu Ye Ya clan, and Minami, that is her real name.

But since she lost all her family members when she was a few years old and was raised by Chu Ye Yanzhong, only a few people knew about it.

And after his caregiver was unfortunately killed by a monster, and the entire village subsequently suffered that disaster, all those who knew about it should have been unfortunately killed.

Unless, someone deliberately faked his death, then got away with it and told the other party the truth.

Or perhaps, the other party is actually one of the Chu Ye people who knows his identity!

No wonder there are so many warriors who are proficient in magic around the opponent. They should all be trained according to the requirements of Chu Ye Yanzhong, right? !

Are the three great men of the Tao actually the leaders of the previous generation, the ignorance of the previous generation?Because only the past leaders of Chuye Yazhong know all the training methods!

This information was so shocking that Wu Ming didn’t know what to say for a while.

After the disaster he suffered in the village, he was all alone. It was not until recently that he met a partner like Axiu who was worthy of his support. However, at the same time, Lord Dao San was living in seclusion with so many Chu Ye Yazhong. Inside Lushan City
What has become of the suffering and torture I have suffered?
"Father!"

"Lord Dao San!"

At this time, Akechi Mitsuhide and Saito Toshioharu also rushed over. After the treatment just given by Asai Nagamasa, although they still have not recovered as before, they can at least act on their own. Similarly, they also heard what Dao San said. .

Dao San suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He seemed to only care about his two daughters, but was ignored by the other children.

But then he coughed dryly and decided not to care about it. He was already going to die anyway!
"Mitsuhide, how about you and Riji serve His Highness Asai together to protect my daughter and Mino?"

Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at the half-demon over there who could compete with Yatogami, and then at his mentor and lord with a very complicated expression.

With the other party showing so much power, do you still need to protect yourself?

However, he finally bowed and saluted: "If this is your wish, Master Dao San, I am willing to comply with it!"

Dao Sanyi couldn't help but smile for a moment. He was well aware of the opponent's abilities. Although his reputation was not outstanding, he was considered to be among the best in the entire Nibon. The only thing he lacked at the moment was experience and Strength.

And with the "Dragon of Omi" by his side, as long as he can show some potential that is different from ordinary people, I'm afraid he won't be lacking these soon, right?
But Asai Nagamasa waved his hand: "Master Mitsuhide, you don't need to be embarrassed. With my own strength, I can protect Axiu well and seize Meinong."

Dao San smiled and said nothing when he heard this. Does he actually have such a measure?It is indeed worthy of being the Dragon of Omi.

In this way, if Axiu follows him, she doesn't have to worry too much. After reaching the other side of the underworld, she can face her mother with a smile, right?
Akechi Mitsuhide's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect that he would be rejected at all.

Although Lord Asai's power is indeed not what a mortal can possess, the wisdom and strategy that he is proud of are not completely useless!
However, this also aroused the arrogance and determination in his heart. He decided to join the Asai family not only because of Master Dao San's request, but also because he wanted to prove his ability.

Although I am currently unknown and far inferior to His Highness Asai, who defeated the Rokkaku family that has been famous for hundreds of years in the battle at Noragada, but if there is a chance, I must use practical actions to let His Highness Asai clearly see my power!

"Your Highness."

Akechi Mitsuhide was about to speak, but Asai Nagamasa had already spoken again: "But I have indeed heard of Mitsuhide-sama's name a long time ago. Why don't you temporarily serve as an infantry general with a salary of [-] dan? After you have merit, you can How about a separate reward?"

Akechi Mitsuhide was immediately overjoyed. The last person to receive such treatment was Tokuyama Norihide, but the other party led hundreds of Tokuyama people to join him, but he was just alone. He did not expect that His Highness would value him so much and give him such treatment. Equal treatment!
After taking another look at Dao San, who was full of encouragement and relief, he immediately bowed down without hesitation: "Yes, Your Highness, I, Akechi Jubei Mitsuhide, am willing to die for Your Highness!"

Although he has a position as a general in the Saito family because of his relationship with Lord Daosan, his actual income does not match his position at all. How can His Highness dislike him? His Highness values ​​himself very much!
Next to him, Saito Toshioharu looked at Akechi Mitsuhide with envy. Although he didn't know how capable the other party was to deserve His Highness's attention, he knew that with his own ability, even if he worked hard for three to five years, he might not be able to achieve it. Shi Gao who owns five hundred stones?

"Father, what do you think of me?"

Just as he was talking, Saito Riki suddenly felt something was wrong, because he saw that the light in the other person's eyes was quickly dissipating, and his chest no longer rose. He immediately couldn't help but shout loudly: "Father? Father!"
