Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 321 "Shadow Buddha" Kato Duanzo

Su Lun didn't know how much improvement this "Onimaru Hakumu Zongzheng" would bring to Qianjo, but it was definitely much stronger than when he was a kendo layman.

The aura of Qianjo, who had tamed the demon sword, suddenly changed, making him feel more and more ethereal. Under the aura, it is like a god, she is really like a Rakshasa girl from hell, and there is a monstrous evil spirit that makes people feel terrified.

The sword masters recognized by the famous sword will be 100% compatible. Qianjo has this demon sword in his hand, which is even more exaggerated than Su Lun's own black sickle, as if there is nothing in the world that cannot be cut.

However, it is not without side effects.

Listening to Qianjo means that even if she can control this twelve excellent craftsmen now, she will always be eroded by this demonic sword in the future. This sword already has spirituality, and it has been worshipped by incense all the year round, and it has become a demon soldier of hell. In the future, he will absorb the souls of the dead and the slaughtering energy under the sword to grow by himself. The fierceness will become stronger and stronger, and it will definitely attack the sword master for many years.

That is to say, she must keep getting stronger and making breakthroughs in kendo in order to keep suppressing.

This point, Su Lun is not worried.

Qianjo's belief in kendo is unparalleled.

Before Shenfu Yuzi chose to come to Chaming Mountain, it was for refuge.

Now that the situation is basically clear, there is no point in continuing to stay.

After a few discussions, they decided to leave immediately and rush back to Edo.

In the early morning of the next day, several people left the mother-in-law soup room and came to a mountain road intersection from Chaming Mountain to Chidao.

Yuzi informed the royal family in advance with paper cranes, and there will be guards specially to pick them up.

"Songlinpo" is a remote hill, and you can't see a passing pedestrian for a long time.

Several people have been waiting here for a while.

Su Lun didn't feel impatient at all.

He wants to inscribe eight layers of runes on his skin, and it is painted everywhere.

It is better to be able to draw while walking, and to wait for others.

The secret technique of the [Rune Flesh] of the Rune Warlock's lineage needs to inscribe runes on the flesh and bones of the body, and draw runes with certain elements and functions according to their own needs.

Su Lun is only now at the first step.

He wanted to cooperate with the [King Kong] secret technique, and he drew a kind of gold-based adaptive sixth-order rune called "Golden Dragon Pattern".

This variant rune is very complex, a bit like weaving a fishing net, interlocking, forming a layer of "rune protection net" for the human body, which can resist, disperse and buffer the attack. After the drawing is complete, it will bring a huge increase in toughness to the skin. Melee and life-saving abilities increase by leaps and bounds.

Su Lun has no problem understanding runes now, but it's a delicate job that takes a lot of time, so he's been tinkering with it almost all day and night.

Qianjo had just conquered the demon sword, and held the sword all day to "exchange feelings".

She watched Su Lun fiddling around, and didn't forget to take the opportunity to train the disciples, "Don't you envy your 'Mr. Su Lun' all day long for being so good? Now you know why he is so good. Today's practice task is to draw three swords. a thousand times."

"is teacher."

Lolota is also very serious and obedient.

This began to draw a knife and practice the Juhe Slash, and the sharp metal sound of "keng chi" could be heard incessantly.

Yuko, who was on the side, heard Qianjo's words and echoed: "Mr. Su Lun is really hardworking. He works hard all the time, no wonder he is so powerful."

Su Lun smiled noncommittally.

He is used to it. Study and research are part of his life, and he has always come here.

This is also the daily life of an alchemist.

At this time, he looked at the time and asked casually, "Miss Yuzi, did you and the guard agree on exactly ten o'clock?"

"yes."

Yuzi frowned, "They seem to be late."

It's almost the appointed time, the shadow of the guard who has not seen yet.

A look of unease appeared on her face.

She is the princess, so under normal circumstances, the royal warriors can only arrive early, and they will definitely not be late.

If it's too late, then there may be an accident.

"."

Su Lun frowned slightly when he heard this.

The situation in Shan Yin is very complicated now, and he did not take any chances.

The terrain of this hill is very high, and the black crow is standing on the top of the tree, looking into the distance, and there is nothing abnormal under the shared vision.

But it was this calmness that made Su Lun have a bad premonition in his heart.

He watched Yuzi let Zhihe fly again, probably wanting to confirm the situation, but also felt as if he had to wait.

But it didn't take long for a reply, the death bird on the branch seemed to have found something, and suddenly called out "quack".

Su Lun's face changed suddenly, and he said softly, "Not good!"

As soon as he heard this, Chijo, who was resting on the stone beside him, suddenly turned over and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Yuko didn't understand what happened, and looked at Su Lun suspiciously.

"Not sure. But danger is approaching!"

Su Lun's eyes were dignified, and he didn't know the situation, "We have to get out of here."

But he knew very well that the ability to tell a dead bird was to predict death.

Its warning just now was very urgent, that is to say, there is a "fatal" danger coming quietly!

Seeing Su Lun's serious expression, Chijo and Yuko looked straight at the same time, didn't ask any further questions, and followed Su Lun, who had already turned around and evacuated quickly, chasing after him.

Su Lun took a few steps, and some thoughts flashed through his mind.

It is "fatal danger" to make a dead bird feel reminded, and the opponent's strength is definitely very strong.

"Take the mountain road, don't take the road!"

Su Lun glanced at the flat road that was completely deserted, and suddenly turned around.

He had carefully observed the terrain near this hill all the way before. If he were to ambush, the roads would definitely be heavily guarded.

He plunged headlong into the jungle, followed by Qianjo, Yuko, and Lolota.

Almost at the same time as they left "Songlinpo", there was a sudden "咻~" sound not far behind.

listen again,

There was a loud bang, and the sound traveled for dozens of miles.

It was a signal arrow that exploded in the air.

Seeing this scene, Qianjo and Yuko immediately understood what happened: Sure enough, someone was ambushing!

"There seems to be a lot of people, maybe someone from the Takeda Shogunate is here!"

"Not necessarily. Maybe that Abe Taihe."

"."

Although the few of them have good combat power, they are not stupid enough to fight in the enemy's encirclement before they figure out the situation.

Holding the black umbrella in his hand, Su Lun ran, thinking about something with a blank face.

At that moment, he suddenly discovered something. He scratched with his five fingers in the air, and when he pulled a few transparent silk threads, he saw a thick incision passing by smoothly breaking into two sections.

Chijo and Yuko also noticed Su Lun's movements, and glanced from the corner of their eyes, only then did they see scarlet blood flowing from the cut of the broken tree.

In the trunk of that big tree, there was actually a ninja who was hiding in a wooden dungeon!

Looking up again, dozens of bamboo paragliders appeared in the sky.

Yuko's pupils shrank, and she clearly saw the ninja pattern on the ninja's clothes, and said softly: "That's the Koga ninja!"

Su Lun's eyes narrowed.

There are many factions of Ninzong in Shanyin, mainly Koga and Iga.

The Iga Sect ninja is good at guarding and pharmacology, and is loyal to the imperial family Shenfu clan. The ninjas of the Jiaga sect are belligerent, they are good at ninjutsu and study various ninja tools. They usually allegiance to some feudal lords in war and are very active on the battlefield. The largest group now is in the Black Dragon Society controlled by the shogunate.

When you see Koga ninjas, you can be sure that 80% of them belong to the Takeda Shogunate!

It is now clear that the enemy has already been ambushed, and there are even ninjas in ambush in this woodland. This means that the situation on other lines is more sinister.

Fortunately, the dead bird was in danger ahead of time, otherwise the encirclement would be closed, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

But now that the whereabouts have been exposed, a war is impossible to avoid.

Su Lun looked at the ninja who started to jump down in the sky, thought of something, and said very quickly: "Miss Yuko, there may be a strong presence in the enemy, prepare a second plan."

"it is good!"

Yuko didn't hesitate, took out a piece of white paper in the shape of a human, bitten her finger and dripped blood and drew a talisman on the paper, and then handed the newly made "shikigami paper figure" to the Su Lun.

In this instant, a little old man appeared in front of Su Lun and the others, blocking their way.

This guy wore a tattered grey felt hat, a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and a red rosacea nose, looking like a drunken mountain farmer.

But it was this sloppy costume, Yuko saw it and shouted: "Be careful, this is the "Ghost Hand" Ueno Sasaki, one of the three Koga ninjas! "

Su Lun had heard this guy's name.

In particular, Jōnin, the top assassin ninja among the Yamagata ninjas who can definitely rank in the top ten.

There is no illusory person under his reputation, and he does not underestimate him at all.

The little old man was not polite. Seeing the three of them coming towards each other, he raised his hand to seal the ninjutsu, and suddenly a wind blade visible to the naked eye spewed out of his mouth, "Ninjutsu, the technique of the wind god sickle and itachi!"

Those wind blades are good at the wind, and they were just about the size of a finger when they exited.

Thousands of wind wheels raged in the forest. In the blink of an eye, these sturdy trees in the forest were "blown" down like wheat.

Qiantiao was at the front, and it was airtight as he swung his sword.

Surprisingly, when the blade touched those wind blades, there was a sudden flash of sparks.

Taking a closer look, there are thousands of pocket sickle ninja tools hidden in this wind blade.

Wind-type ninjutsu is pervasive, and ranged attacks cannot be blocked by puppets.

Su Lun does not have the outstanding swordsmanship like Qianjo, and he can prevent it from leaking. As soon as his Warlock Seal was pinched, a dark golden luster appeared on his skin in an instant. Looking at it again, there are runes like dragon scale tattoos.

The fifth-order [King Kong] secret method and the sixth-order rune's [Rune Golden Body] defense power is already very exaggerated, and the dense wind blades are cut on the skin, leaving no traces.

Su Lun's attention was never on these wind blades.

How did he not know that this was the enemy's trick?

Looking at it again, the little old man in the distance really disappeared out of thin air.

"What a clever stealth technique! As expected of Koga Sannin."

Su Lun's eyes narrowed slightly.

Vision, hearing, and touch could not detect the existence of that guy at all. Only in the perception of the soul, I sensed that a group of soul fire was mixed in the wind blade and approached Yuko.

Probably thinking of one hit kill.

Su Lun pretended not to notice, but just when he found the opportunity, he suddenly burst out.

"Secret Technique of Silk Control: Sparrow in a Cage!"

His five fingers slammed into the void, and countless silk threads turned into entities, suddenly straightened, and wrapped the figure.

But before the silk thread could be cut, the smoke bomb inside suddenly exploded with a bang, and the fire of the soul ran out a hundred meters away like a teleportation.

This old head is like a loach, and if he can't hit it, he quickly escapes.

Su Lun whispered in his heart, but praised the escape method in ninjutsu, but there was something extraordinary.

Being attacked, Qiantiao's violent temper was not to be outdone. Before the wind blade subsided, she stomped on the ground abruptly, and her whole body dashed towards the direction that the old man fled like a human-shaped cannonball.

When she was still in the air, she drew a knife and slashed forward, and a sword qi broke through the air, a hundred meters in an instant.

Sasaki was forced to move out of the wind, and the steel claws on the palms of both hands crossed and took the knife.

"Keng" sounded, and the fire was scattered.

Seeing this, Su Lun has roughly estimated Sasaki's strength.

Although Qianjo was just a tentative slash just now, it may be so easy to pick up, this guy also has the strength of a fifth-order professional.

"Sasaki's mastery of air escape, don't entangle with that guy!"

"it is good!"

The four of Su Lun ignored the guy at all and continued to run towards the depths of the jungle.

But at this moment, someone in a trance heard someone whispering softly in his ear: "Ninja Technique: The Art of Thousands of Flower Wheels!"

Looking at it again, in this forest, the cherry blossoms suddenly fell from the sky, like snowflakes.

I didn't see the enemy, but I heard Yuko's urgent reminder: "Be careful, that's "Sakura Hime" Kobe Kaoru, who is also one of the Koga Sannin. Good at fighting ghosts, proficient in illusion. There is a bloodline boundary with 'mind replacement'! "

In Shanyin Kingdom, because the cultivation of believers is the power of Shinto, the probability of talent awakening is very low. But once the talent is awakened, the probability of blood inheritance is extremely high, which is often called the "blood succession limit".

When Su Lun heard the Yuko's words, he immediately replaced the term with a talent in alchemy, 【B-025-Instigator】.

This talent is born with a convincing affinity and high spiritual growth.

It is indeed a talent that is very suitable for being an illusionist.

Qiantiao has a demon sword beside him, so naturally he will not be affected.

Only Lolota was stunned for a moment with a face full of fascination, and then he was knocked on the Kagura Bell by Yuko, and he immediately woke up.

Su Lun also saw early in the morning that it was an illusion, and a warlock of this level was not a big problem for him now.

But what made him even more curious was that he had seen the soul fire that appeared in perception.

Is it the female ninja who disguised as a guide in the Sword Casting Village? !

In this short confrontation, both sides tried out something.

"Damn, isn't that female swordsman's arms sealed by Lord Takeda, how can she still have such strength?!"

"Also, Yaodao Zongzheng is here!"

"The one with the silk thread is the guy I said before, be careful, he's very hands-on!"

"We can't stop them, hurry up and inform Lord Duan Zang!"

"."

Su Lun recognized Kaoru Kobe, and the female ninja recognized him, and naturally knew that these people were not easy to kill.

"Koga Sannin" has already appeared two.

If Chijo and Su Lun weren't around, maybe those guys really had a chance to kill Miko.

But right now, it's not enough.

However, Su Lun did not intend to fight.

The warning to sue the dead bird made him not dare to be careless.

As far as these people have appeared, they can't give them too many death threats.

After all, ninjas are positioned as assassins, and there is no certainty that they will kill.

Su Lun and the four of them didn't stop for a while, and they killed several ninjas blocking the way, thinking that they might have rushed out of the encirclement.

But at this moment, in Su Lun's perception, a guy with a very exaggerated speed suddenly appeared.

He shouted urgently, "There is someone underground!"

"The person here is very strong! Be careful, I'll stop him!"

Qianjo felt the murderous intent on his back, and at the same time let out a loud cry.

That is the same dangerous feeling as the previous assassination of the sixth-order rune old man.

When faced with an opponent of this level, it is impossible to hold back.

She stretched out her hand, and as soon as the kimono went away, she changed into a set of scarlet armor, which was naturally the famous armor of the Warring States period "five carcasses with iron red scales painted".

With the tengu mask covering the face, the whole person suddenly became majestic.

This time, she directly took out the demon sword Zongzheng.

Fighting.

Su Lun's eyes narrowed as he watched Chijo's actions.

It can make thousands of people who have advanced to the fifth rank now say that they are "strong", and I am afraid that there are not many of them in the entire Shanyin.

That guy who escaped was probably the reason why the dead bird kept calling.

Su Lun didn't dare to be careless, the eight-armed spider spear behind him was already exposed.

In the blink of an eye, the guy who escaped from the earth suddenly stood up a hundred meters away. Wearing black iron armor, masked leggings, and standard ninja attire. There is also a moon-shaped clan pattern on the armor.

Seeing this, Yuko was also greatly surprised, and said very fast: "That is. That is the leader of the Koga Ninja Sect, "Shadow Buddha" Kato Duanzang! "

Su Lun's eyes were full of solemnity when he heard the name.

The first person in the Ninja Sect of the Mountain Hidden Kingdom, a master of ninja and taijutsu, the only ninja in the world who has reached the "shadow level".

Although the soul perception is only about the strength of a fifth-order professional, the combat power of this guy is unfathomable.

Su Lun and the others escaped the encirclement now because they walked decisively, and a few high-level ninjas caught up.

But looking at the "Shadow Buddha" Kato Duanzang in front of him, the few people didn't move rashly.

Su Lun also felt that it was a bit novel to meet such a "legendary person".

But since he saw the person, he didn't panic.

This Kato Duanzo is strong, but this guy has a remarkable record in his life, and many of his methods are "known".

The outcome of the battle can also be estimated.

Today's Qianjo has a demon sword in his hand and a famous armor, not to mention that he can beat this Kato, and he can protect himself.

Besides, there are Su Lun and Yuzi, if they really have to fight, they are sure that both sides will suffer.

Su Lun felt the fighting spirit of Qianjo around him getting higher and higher, and guessed what she wanted to do, and asked, "Sister Qianjo, what do you think?"

The best plan is of course not reckless.

As long as Chijo can hold back the strongest, Su Lun and the others can find a way to kill others.

Then, run again, it's much easier.

If not, Qianjo said what he expected, "You guys go first. I want to try my knife with this guy."

Although they are all fighting, "delaying" and "trying a knife" are two mentalities.

One is passive and one is active.

The swordsman is like this, it must be honed in battles.

If you have no fear, you will be able to cut anything.

When you meet the right opponent, you don't have a fight and your hands are itchy.

"Shadow Buddha" Kato Duanzang is not only a ninja, but also a top-ranking swordsman who is definitely the top five in the mountains.

Strong strength, can give Qiantiao a sense of crisis, this is the best opponent.

Qiantiao now has the demon sword in hand, and is just short of a hearty battle.

"Oh."

Su Lun's eyes flashed coldly, and he responded lightly.

During their exchange of breath or two, Kato Duanzang was not idle.

At this moment, the guy opened his mouth and said, "Ninfa, Fengyun Yezeguo Technique!"

The rumbling sound was endless, and when I looked again, the guy opened his mouth and spat out a waterfall. The amount of water that broke the embankment was like a mountain torrent, and it washed over with a mighty force, and the rocks and trees were washed into a mess in an instant.

In a blink of an eye, the huge forest became a swamp country.

"Is this the power of 'Shadow'?"

Su Lun's eight-armed spider spear floated on the water with ease, sighing with emotion.

He looked at the exaggerated amount of water again, but he didn't understand the principle, and he complained in his heart: How can this guy spit out so much water?

To change to alchemy, to get such a large amount of water, I am afraid that the seventh-order professional can only do it.

This "Fengyun Yezeguo Technique" is definitely a disaster-level attack for group targets.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one person can defeat an army.

But for Su Lun and the others, it wasn't a big problem.

Just when Su Lun was still thinking about the motive for Kato Duanzō to get so much water out, when he looked at it again, that guy also stepped on the water with a special technique and rushed forward.

It turns out that this is to create a favorable combat terrain for yourself?

Seeing this, Qianjo didn't show weakness, and shouted, "I'm going!"

"Crack", "Crack", "Crack". A series of banging noises.

One treads the water, the other treads the air, and rushes away.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were about to collide.

Qianjo has just advanced to the fifth rank. Although her strength is weaker than Kato Duanzō, the sword in her hand is the "Demon Sword Sect."

It can cause blindness, has demonic energy, and can confuse the mind. There are many negative states that can be called [forbidden objects].

This knife went down, and the sword energy was hundreds of meters vertical and horizontal, and white waves several meters high swayed on the water.

When Kato Duanzu touched it for a moment, it was pitch black in front of him, and he knew immediately that something was wrong. This guy has a very strong fighting instinct, and he suddenly withdraws and retreats, leaving the area of ​​influence.

But under this knife, he instantly judged the strength of the opponent in front of him.

A cold light flashed in his Yin Vulture's eyes, and his hands quickly changed the Ninja Seal.

This time, a layer of faint white fluorescence actually condensed on his body, as if there was a mysterious will blessing his upper body.

"Sacred Art Thousand-hand Stone Buddha!"

Kato Duanzo finally resorted to the ultimate ninja method of the Koga Ninja sect - Thousand-hand Stone Buddha.

Just when the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking, a thousand-handed stone Buddha with a height of several hundred meters descended out of thin air.

The stone Buddha slapped it with a palm, like a meteor falling, and the ground rumbled and exploded a huge crater.

Thousand palms, ten thousand palms. Overwhelming!

This secret technique is said to have the power to penetrate the gods and kill gods and demons!

Qianjo did not show weakness, and slashed down with a knife.

My knife is hell.

It was the time the two fought, and Su Lun had already run a long way in the other direction.

He felt the exaggerated movement behind him, and then he looked back and raised his eyebrows: "Sure enough, these gods believers, the strength really can't be judged by rank."

It is a familiar formula, a familiar routine, the advent of a higher will, and a belief in the secret law.

I've encountered it a few times before, and Su Lun doesn't understand what's going on.

At this level, he can't beat it.

"But then again, as soon as we met face to face, you forced out the opponent's box-pressing stunt. Sister Qianjo has become so strong now."

Thinking of this, Su Lun didn't look back, led a few pursuers behind him, and disappeared into the forest.
