I Will Be the Son of Man

As the bowstring was released, countless flaming arrows burst out, shooting towards Hill and the others.

"Not good! If this happens, it will spread to the streets!"

Miyamoto Musashi held two katanas and cut off the arrows shooting towards him, but his face sank.

"Leonidas I, please! [Guardian of the Flame Gate]!"

A erratic shadow suddenly appeared in front of Lixiang, it was a tall and strong man.

The man pointed the spear in the direction of the falling arrows. At this time, hundreds of light shields floated in the air, blocking those arrows of fire that were about to fall towards the house.

However, there are still some falling towards the houses.

"Your Highness Hill!"

At this time, Hill had also opened the silver ripples, a faint white light radiated from his forehead, and took out an iron oar from the ripples.

It was the weapon held by the summer god and sea god Njord in Norse mythology.

Controlling the strength of the output, Hill swung the iron paddle.

A gust of not-so-violent wind swept over all of a sudden, sweeping the arrows that should have fallen on the house and the arrows of fire that were aimed at them into the air.

"Fujita! Please!"

Lixiang saw [Ba Yuqian] in the sky and was about to draw the bowstring again, at this time, he called out the erratic Ototota again.

Omotota shot the arrow one step faster, and in an instant, the arrow turned into a torrent soaring towards the sky and shot towards [Ba Yuqian].

Interrupted by this attack, [Ba Yuqian] could only choose to evade while falling.

But what she didn't expect was that a pure white figure suddenly emerged from the pillar of flowing water.

Hill came slashing with the silver sword in his hand, and [Ba Yuqian] also drew out the saber at his waist as if his body reacted naturally, and raised it to block it.

The burning sword directly collided with the silver sword, but beyond [Ba Yuqian]'s expectation, the force transmitted from the sword made her arm suddenly feel numb, and her whole body was also affected by the incidental force. , was shot down to the ground by acceleration.

And below where she fell, Miyamoto Musashi also saw [Myojinkiri Muramasa] waving in his hand in an instant.

Her eyes became like the sky again, shining with some kind of dazzling brilliance.

In the night, under the bloody moonlight, [Myojin Kirimasa] reflected a blood light.

However, just when the blade was about to hit [Ba Yuqian], the body of [Ba Yuqian] suddenly burst into flames.

But the scorching flames did not stop Miyamoto Musashi from moving forward, she seemed to ignore the licking of the flames, and the sword in her hand was about to touch the opponent.

Ding.

There was a sound of metal and iron clashing, and in the direction of the slash, a naginata forcibly blocked the fatal blow.

[Ba Yuqian] poked the naginata on the ground, and the whole person flew out. After a few seconds of confrontation, he left the battle line.

At the same time, behind her, dozens of burning skeleton warriors suddenly appeared, and they rushed out together, heading in all directions, and were about to swing down the flaming sword towards those houses.

not good!

Hill and Miyamoto Musashi were aware of the opponent's intention at the same time, and understood that the opponent wanted to take advantage of this to escape, but facing this conspiracy, they had no way to stop it.

Because if they were to stop [Ba Yuqian], those skeleton warriors would destroy the streets and cause a large number of civilian casualties.

Sure enough, between the two of them hesitating, [Ba Yuqian]'s figure escaped into the darkness and disappeared.

And Hill, Miyamoto Musashi, and Lixiang also immediately began to eliminate the skeleton warriors to prevent fires.

***********

Under the night, a silver figure was constantly running between the mountains and forests.

Ahhh, hate, hate......

If it weren't for the order not to destroy that street at this time, [Ba Yuqian] might have continued to fight Hill and the others desperately at that time.

Of course, Hill, Miyamoto Musashi, and Lixiang's joint attack did disrupt her pace before, and she chose to retreat temporarily out of the warrior's intuition.

But, I still hate it, I hate it so much......

The flame of resentment burning in my heart can't be calmed down at all, I want to burn everything I can see, and let this world be shrouded in karmic fire.

"Your Excellency [Inferno]! Your Excellency [Inferno]!"

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind [Ba Yuqian], which made [Ba Yuqian] stop running forward involuntarily.

Falling back to the ground again, 【Ba Yuqian】turned to look at the existence that called out to him just now.

It was a female ninja.

"You are... ah, the ninja that person sent me."

As if thinking of the other party, [Ba Yuqian] showed a clear look on his face.

"Yes. Your Excellency [Inferno], where do you want to go? If you continue to run like this, you will cross the lower country and go to the sea."

"You are one of the rare [Heroic Sword Heroes], please don't burn your spiritual foundation easily."

The female ninja half-kneeled on the ground, persuading respectfully.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I'm always like this, I accidentally run away..."

"When I think about it now, it seems that I have always been like this in the past......"

As if caught in some kind of memory, [Ba Yuqian]'s expression softened, and even the original frenzied aura subsided a little.

"Huh? It seems that there are still people over there? That's not okay. Going out at night is very dangerous. I'll remind them."

Seeing the light of the lit lantern in the distance, [Ba Yuqian] smiled at the female ninja, and then walked in that direction.

——It's really unlucky, those two people unexpectedly appeared in front of this volatile adult like a flame.

The female ninja hid her figure into the darkness, observing all this in secret.And at this time, [Ba Yuqian] had already arrived in front of those two people.

After taking a closer look, I realized that it was an elderly couple who still came out to walk around at night for some reason.

"Excuse me, excuse me, where are you two going? It is said that ghosts are always prone to appear at night recently, and it is very dangerous for you two to be like this."

[Ba Yuqian] had a slight smile on his face, and asked with concern.

"Ah, it's the master of the Samurai family. I'm really sorry to trouble you to worry about us like this."

The old woman with the lantern said apologetically, and then explained.

"There was a rally in the village tonight, and my old man stayed up so late because he drank too much."

"That's not right. Grandpa, how can an elderly person like you still drink like before. This will bring trouble to Mrs. Madam."

[Ba Yuqian] Seriously persuading, she looks like an ordinary girl from the samurai family who cares about others.

"Ah, that's right, please worry about it......"

The old man who was on crutches also smiled embarrassedly, as if he understood that it was not good for him.

"However, Madam or something, you are too polite......"

For such a title, the old lady who is a commoner also smiled shyly.

"Then, please be careful along the way, both of you. Husband and wife should live in harmony on weekdays."

Seeing the two old men leave slowly, [Ba Yuqian] could not help but smile.

Then, as if subconsciously, she turned her head to look beside her.

"Are you right, Master Yoshinaka......"

However, there was no one beside her, only the emptiness and darkness.

In sight, there seemed to be a burning young samurai man who was gradually disappearing.

Ahhh, Master Yoshinaka......

Two lines of blood and tears flowed down from [Ba Yuqian]'s eyes, and her eyes became pitch black again.

"Burn, burn everything..."

"Then, for tonight's sacrifice, let's start with that village, hehehehe......"

Red lotus-like resentment surged from her body, and then hundreds of skeleton warriors burning like undead appeared behind her.

[Ba Yuqian] raised his head, looked at the distant village......

That night, another village was burned to the ground.

.............

wow.

On the streets of [Rustic Castle], there was a shower of rain caused by Omototota's Noble Phantasm.

Hill suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction.

In the night wind from a distance, he smelled a burning and sad smell...

*********

The next day.

"Ah, good morning, Musashi-san......"

Lixiang stretched her waist, because she experienced a battle last night, as an ordinary person, she naturally got up a little later than Hill and Miyamoto Musashi.

"Oh, good morning, Lixiang. Don't worry, breakfast is already reserved for you."

Miyamoto Musashi smiled at Lixiang, while Axie said that he was looking at the scene on the street outside through the window on the second floor with Tiansuke behind his back.

After all, for her, such a lively scene is rare in the countryside.

"By the way, where is Your Highness Hill?"

Lixiang looked around the room, but didn't catch Hill's figure.

"Well... Hill got up early in the morning. But now, he is in his own bedroom."

"Um, are you going to catch up on sleep?"

"No. He said he wanted to try to learn the sword I used to free His Excellency Yinshun."

Miyamoto Musashi's expression became a little subtle, but she didn't notice that there was a trace of expectation hidden in her own eyes.

"However, if I feel that way, I should be able to use it again if I explore it myself."
