Killing Spirits in Tokyo with Zanpakutō

Chapter 178 Santu River

Santu River.

According to legend, the junction of life and death, the river has the power to lead the dead to hell. According to the behavior of the dead, the river will be divided into three types: "slow", "normal" and "rapid", so it is called Santu.

After Furuya Ryota was kicked into the "Gate of Hell" by Ota Kai, he landed on the banks of the Sanzu River.

It's just that unlike the various horror legends imagined, after he landed here, he didn't encounter any danger, nor did he meet the legendary "extradition man", but instead met a "citizen".

"Senior, you said that you have been here alone for hundreds of years?"

Ryota Furuya's eyes widened, and he looked at the unshaven middle-aged uncle in front of him who was dressed as an ancient military general in disbelief.

"good."

The unshaven, unkempt middle-aged uncle nodded casually, but from the corner of his eyes, he inadvertently glanced at the "family heirloom sword" on Ryota Furuya's waist.

"Then you must know where there are Higan flowers near here?" Furuya Ryota said excitedly.

"So that's it, so you went to hell because of the Bianhua, no wonder, you are so weak, how could you run to such a ghost place without anything?" The middle-aged uncle nodded in a daze, and then said.

"But I advise you to give up! Although the Bianhua flowers do grow on the bank of the Santu River, they basically grow on the other side of the Santu River, and you are a stranger, so it is impossible to cross the Santu River. There are..."

Boom!

The middle-aged uncle opened his mouth lazily, but just when he was halfway through his words, there was a sudden dull roar in the distance.

"Huh? What day is it today? Hundreds of years ago, there wasn't necessarily a place for living things to come in. Why are they all burrowing into it today? Is it possible that people in the world feel that they have lived enough?"

The middle-aged uncle scratched his head, stood up, started to walk forward, his speed was extremely fast, one foot kicked the ground, and his whole body turned into a shooting star, covering a distance of at least several hundred meters in one step.

Ryota Furuya was dumbfounded.

Were the ancients all so violent?

Soon, the middle-aged uncle came back again, grabbed Furuya Ryota's shoulders, and led him to step forward.

"Almost forgot about you, there are a few strangers down there now, maybe they came to look for you."

The environment by the Sanzu River was very strange, it seemed that the surrounding area was very empty, but the strange thing was that with Ryota Furuya's [-] eyes, the visibility could hardly exceed [-] meters.

But the gaze of the middle-aged uncle seemed to be able to penetrate the surrounding "obstacles", and soon, the two came to the source of the roaring sound.

When Ryota Furuya saw the two fighting, he was taken aback.

Because the two sides that broke out in the battle on the banks of the Santu River at this time were Omura Hideseki and Ota Kai. During the battle, Omura Hideseki was almost completely at a disadvantage, and he was suppressed without the slightest ability to fight back.

"Hahaha... just give up! For the sake of our friendship for so long, Omura, I can ask Lady Elise to give you a chance too."

Ota Kai looked like an evil spirit, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Omura Hideseki didn't say anything, just silently resisted the opponent's attack, but although he was also known as a "genius", he was too young after all, and there was still a big gap between him and Ota Kai who had transformed into a "ghost".

Soon.

Ota Kai caught a flaw, claws like a ghost grabbed Omura Hideseki's chest, and with a tear, directly tore off a large piece of flesh and blood. In an instant, Omura Hideseki's chest was soaked in blood red.

Omura Hideseki let out a muffled grunt, and the middle hall opened wide.

A fierce look flashed in Ota Kai's eyes, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the ghost claws pulled out again, ready to take out Hideseki Omura's heart.

"stop!"

Although he still doesn't understand the situation, seeing this, Ryota Furuya hastily shouted, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and blocked Ota Kai's fatal blow.

"Huh? It's you? You're not dead yet?"

Seeing the knife that appeared suddenly, Ota Kai was shocked at first, but when he saw Empress Furuya Ryo, he was suddenly surprised.

"Ota Kai, why are you doing this?"

Ryota Furuya's face was gloomy. This question was not only asking Kai Ota why he wanted to kill Hideseki Omura, but also asking why the other party kicked him into the "gate of hell" before.

"Why? Hahaha... This question really fits your idiot personality! Unfortunately, I'm not in the mood to answer this question right now. Since you happen to have survived hell, then let me give you a complete answer." You cross the river!"

Swish!

Crazy light flashed in Ota Kai's eyes, and as he waved his arms, strands of demonic and abnormal power were continuously released. The dark gray breath condensed his hands, and his fingertips were filled with smoke, and he grabbed Ryota Furuya with his backhand.

Clang sound.

Hideki Omura resisted with a sword, but he didn't expect that the "family heirloom sword", which has a strong restraint power against demon spirits, did not exert much power against Ota Kai at this time.

The ghost claw collided with the blade, bursting out a flame.

"Be careful, Ota Kai is now between humans and monsters, and the power of "killing monsters" in the sword may not work on him." Hideshi Omura reminded with a pale face.

puff!

Blood scatters.

Obviously, Hideseki Omura's reminder was a step late, or in other words, no matter whether he reminded or not, the ending will basically not change.

Without the restraining power of the "Family Heirloom Sword", Ryota Furuya's own strength alone can only compete with a human professional who has just stepped into the official rank of spirit removal.

But in the face of a non-monster existence like Ota Kai whose combat strength has completely entered the "resentment" level, with just one blow, a deep scar was torn off Furuya Ryota's left arm.

"Hahahaha... Aren't you very powerful? Why don't you attack me and keep attacking me!"

Ota Kai laughed wildly, and kept attacking Furuya Ryota.

"I've never seen such a stupid guy like you in my life, who dared to come to this kind of place to die after being fooled by others casually. Do you really think that group of guys at Fengyun Shrine are good people?"

"Let me tell you the truth! Seven days ago, Omura Yingshi, who you are protecting now, took the initiative to invite me to steal knives in the gymnasium. At that time, I could only count it as a plan."

"As for your senior, I think she has already woken up! Brain trauma may be a serious problem for ordinary people, but for us, do you really think it is a big problem?"

"And what do you think the Bianhua flower is? It is a legendary thing that can pull people's souls back from hell. In other words, it is a treasure that can completely bring people back to life. Do you think this kind of thing is really that easy? Got it?"

"Think about it! Stupid guy, you have been used from the beginning."

Ota Kai's words are like a blow to Furuya Ryota.

It also made Furuya Ryota's movements stagnate.

Seeing this, a hint of cunning and viciousness flashed across Ota Kai's eyes, gathering strength between his hands, and suddenly struck Omura Hideseki's chest with a blow.

The blow was extremely powerful.

With Ryota Furuya's body as an ordinary person, if he was hit by this trick, he would definitely die.

However, just when Ota Kai's ghost claw was about to touch Omura Hideseki's chest, with a swish, Ota Kai and Omura Hideseki felt a flash of cold light in front of them, and then saw a dark ghost claw falling on the ground. on the ground.

"Boy, why are you in a daze? You can't find death."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from his body, Ryota Furuya was taken aback for a moment, because he found that the person who spoke this time was not Date Masamune, but the middle-aged uncle.

"Senior, why did you get into my body?"

"I died hundreds of years ago, and I can't attack strangers, so I have to borrow your body for a while. However, your body is a bit strange! Besides me, there is another "soul" "."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged uncle glanced at his side, and at this time, Date Masamune was also looking at him in astonishment.

"Eh... About this point, I'm actually not too clear."

"Forget it, your boy's body is special or not, and it doesn't matter much to me. It's just that I can't stand the skill of using a knife just now, so I just borrow your body now to let you feel it. , This knife should be used like this."

After the control of the body was transferred, Furuya's temperament suddenly changed, but what made Furuya feel strange was that after the "family heirloom sword" in his hand was controlled by the middle-aged uncle, the light on the sword suddenly increased several times , The dazzling purple light almost makes people unable to open their eyes.

Other than that.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ryota Furuya felt that this knife was very happy.

"Ahhh~~~ Bastard, I'm going to kill you."

In front of him, Ota Kai howled in pain with a broken arm, his eyes were scarlet, and his killing intent frantically released.

At this time, the middle-aged uncle not only did not hold the knife ready, but put the long knife back into the scabbard.

"Give me death!"

"Genji Iai!"

Zheng!

The long knife whined softly.

The subtle light of the knife only flashed before Furuya Ryota's eyes, and when he realized it, he saw his body had come behind Ota Kai, and the long knife was sheathed again.

"Dah" sound.

The scene where Ota Hai was located instantly turned into black and white, liquid sprayed out along the center of his body, and finally, he knelt softly on the ground.

Hideseki Omura's pupils shrank.

What a quick cut.

And there is no fluctuation of spiritual power at all.

"Boy, have you seen it clearly? This is the true usage of this knife. For it, fighting does not require so many gorgeous skills. It is enough to go all out and kill with one blow."

The middle-aged uncle who entered Furuya Ryota's body spoke.

Finished.

The middle-aged uncle was about to leave Furuya Ryota's body, but at this moment, an accident happened.

"..."

"Boy, what's going on with your body? Why can't I get out now."

"This, I don't know either!"

Furuya Ryota said in a daze.

After trying several times in succession, the cold sweat of the middle-aged uncle came down at that time.

"Hey, boy, this is not a joke. If I can't get out, there will be big problems outside. Don't you really know the reason?"

"I do..."

"Come on, I smell a good smell (hell language)."

Furuya Ryota hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly heard a "cheeping" sound coming from the river in front of him. He and Hideseki Omura looked subconsciously. Not long after, they saw a little monster with blue skin and a big head popping up in front of him. .

The six eyes are opposite.

Ryota Furuya and Hideki Omura were stunned for a moment, and the little monster opposite was also stunned for a while, but soon, it shouted excitedly: "Look what I found, there are humans here, and they are still alive." Humans, it smells so good! (Hell language)"

Both Furuya Ryota and Omura Hideseki didn't understand what the little monster was talking about, but the middle-aged uncle inside Furuya Ryota's body understood, and his face suddenly changed wildly.

"He is calling for his companions, kill him quickly, if he calls his companions, you will all die."

The previous actions of the middle-aged uncle had temporarily gained the trust of Furuya Ryota, so Furuya Ryota only hesitated for a second before taking action immediately.

clang!

The long knife fell from top to bottom at an extremely fast speed, but it was finally blocked by a long stick with a spiked hammer on the tip.

At some point, behind that little monster, four monsters with similar shapes but obviously stronger appeared.

"It's over!"

Seeing the appearance of these four monsters, the middle-aged uncle in Furuya Ryota's body instantly became depressed.

If I knew he wasn't so curious before, I insisted on running over.

That's right.

In fact, when he told Furuya Ryota that he just happened to meet him, he was completely lying. The truth of the matter is that he felt the familiar atmosphere, that is, the "saber" that originally belonged to him, so he was attracted to come here.

Originally, I was just thinking about reminiscing about old friends, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen now.

Without his guard.

The boundary of this section of the Santu River will be troublesome in the future.

"It's really human. I haven't eaten human flesh and blood for decades. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! (Hell language)"

When the five monsters saw Ryota Furuya and Hideki Omura, the corners of their mouths began to droole uncontrollably, and greedy looks shone in their eyes.

"It is indeed a rare "delicious", but we have to be careful. When I came over there just now, I heard from those green-skinned ghosts that there seemed to be a human being near the territory of other ethnic groups in front, but that human was very scary. , not only killed a lot of evil spirits, but also seems to be killing around here now, so we better be careful. (Hell language)”

"Understood. (Hell language)"

Ryota Furuya and Hideki Omura couldn't understand the language of hell, so naturally they didn't know why these monsters were so strong, yet they were so cautious and didn't even give them a chance.

Just under 3 minutes.

The two were captured alive by the five-headed monster.

Seeing the old farmer's harvest-like joy on the faces of the five-headed monsters, and those eyes that couldn't stop drooling, the two couldn't help feeling a little desperate.

And just when the two were being carried and were about to be arrested and left.

Suddenly, an unusually cold breath came from the front. Accompanied by the sound of crackling, a layer of ice quickly formed on the ground, and then everyone saw a blurry figure slowly walking out from the front.
