Sword Raiders II

"I have to say, compared to the practice methods of those traditional big monsters who want to become gods in the past, this method of absorbing human spiritual obsession to quickly promote to the big monster is more efficient."

The suspended footsteps landed slowly, stepping on the huge monster that had turned into a face monster. The thousand-year-old monster in the shell of a blond high school student looked leisurely, and looked towards the direction of the yacht with a smile in his eyes.

It took a lot of time to subdue this evil monster, and the yacht that could be seen from a distance had already disappeared, but the magician was not in a hurry.

"Aren't you going to chase?" the Tianguan girl lying on his shoulder asked curiously, "She is on the sea now, and the Dragon Palace is also caught, so it is a good time. As long as you kill Xinggong Yuli, the night Dou will lose his greatest confidence, and he will return to us in a short time."

"So anxious, Fei." The sorcerer raised his hand to gently touch the girl's head, and softly comforted him, "Xinggong Yuli is the heart of some people in the world of corpses and souls, and he has a name on the other side of hell. Neither the people from Sifengyuan nor the first assistant official in hell are easy to mess with. She also climbed the ranks of many gods and big demons with her special cooking skills that can also work on creatures from the other side. Friendship, I really want to explain in detail that there are a lot of helpers. And..."

"And?" the girl repeated doubtfully with her arms around the neck of the magician.

"Besides, she seems to be alone now, and she has nothing to protect her. But if she really makes a move, the truth will not be what you see..." Looking at the direction in which the yacht is leaving, the voice of the magician is still not in a hurry. Xu, just narrowed his eyes slightly, "Not to mention her background and connections on the other side, Xinggong Yuli is not that easy to deal with."

"Is it difficult to deal with?" Fei tilted her head, "Is she stronger than Yato?"

"That's not true, it's just that it's very troublesome to deal with, and it involves too much." The magician replied patiently, looking down at the masked monster under his feet, "That's why we need to use these. This kind of material alone is not enough, and more will be needed." It is guaranteed enough. Fei, you have to make those little monsters work harder."

"Yeah! I will work hard too!" Fei nodded vigorously, her eyes brightened, "I also hope that Yato can come back here soon, so that we can live together again in the future!"

Hearing the undead girl's charming reassurance, the corners of the sorcerer's lips curved again, and a sea breeze blew up, blowing up the hair and the hem of his youthful appearance, and the huge face monster under his feet turned his head to face the opposite side of the yacht. Direction, the gale caused by the huge body when moving.

"Let's go." The smile of the young man standing on the face of the monster's head remained unchanged, and he also turned his gaze to the direction of the land city. "There is nothing to see in the sea anymore. That's where the real good place is."

Whether it is for humans, demons, or gods, it is true in every sense.

In an uninhabited sea farther away from Tokyo Bay, a rare large area of ​​red appears on the sea surface, which is very similar to the red sea phenomenon caused by algae floating on the sea surface, but in fact, it is rendered by the blood of real creatures made.

Dive from the surface of the sea, the deeper you go, the deeper the red color will become, and you will be able to see the truth when you dive to a depth that cannot be explored by human machines.

A large number of kraken corpses lie on the bottom of the sea. Ordinary fish, shrimp and crab monsters are all dead. The extremely aggressive sharks and even the huge whale monsters are decapitated. A lot of blood comes from the torn wounds. It keeps spreading and rising, and it expands more and more.

In addition to a large number of sea monster corpses, there are also many more strange-looking twisted monster corpses lying beside them. Although all kinds of strange shapes have one thing in common-the head is covered with a mask with complex eyeball patterns.

"What the hell is... what?" In the sea of ​​corpses, the Dragon King Su Nuo propped himself on the ground with his weapon in a state of embarrassment. He didn't care about the wounds all over his body after the fight, but looked at the strange corpses in front of him in amazement. ? False? Why does it have the characteristics of these two things at the same time.”

Or it should be said that it has the advantages of both, and its combat power is directly doubled compared to Yao or Xu of the same level, and if you blindly use the previous methods to deal with Yao or Xu, the effect will be greatly reduced.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Dragon King has been entangled with so many elite soldiers and these inexplicable attacks on the sea until now, and even rejected all the reception that he had agreed to earlier.

The Dragon King originally thought it was just a small problem. He was so proud that he only wanted to deal with it on his own side and didn't want to tell others. He didn't expect that the monsters that attacked were getting stronger every time. He didn't clean up these things until today, but it also made Dragon Palace Lost a lot.

No, it's not so much an attack...it's better to use Dragon Palace as a test soldier for training!

"Lord Dragon King, should you still report to Gao Tianyuan?" Behind him, a confidant of the Dragon King also seemed to realize this, and began to remonstrate anxiously, "There is also news from the Soul Realm. These weird things It's obviously not a sea creature, I'm afraid it's..."

The unfinished meaning was not finished, but following the direction of the land and sky it implied, the members of the Dragon Palace present could understand what it meant.

"I really want to!" Dragon King gritted his teeth angrily, "But take a look, will the other party give us a chance!"

He waved his hand towards the battlefield corpses in front of him. As time passed, the corpses of the dead sea monsters were normal, but the strange creatures on the body seemed to have been injected with some solvent, and quickly disappeared like bubbles. without a trace.

Regardless of the corpse or the fluctuation of the demonic aura left behind, there is no trace, and nothing can be found!

They, Longgong, were tricked a lot, but they couldn't even find the culprit.

"Damn—!" The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved the Dragon King was no longer willing to suppress his temper and roared angrily. Suddenly, there was a strong storm on the sea, and thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, "I will never let this matter go like this—— !"

Boom-!

Yu Li was awakened by the thunder at four o'clock in the morning, subconsciously got up and got out of bed to close the window, and soon after the window was closed, the big raindrops poured down.

"Why is there a thunderstorm all of a sudden...?"

The weather at sea is always unpredictable, and Yu Li, who was still half asleep, muttered something, and then he still couldn't match the eyelids that were fighting up and down, so he yawned and went to sleep again.

It rained for a long time, and it didn't clear up until noon the next day, but because of this, the outdoor activities scheduled by the four younger brothers were directly reduced, and all of them were changed to indoor entertainment.

Among them, Sanada Genichiro went to Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada to teach kendo, Fujiwara Shingo was impatient with the sound of thunder and rain, and took Natsume Takashi to a small soundproof theater to watch blockbuster movies. The rest, Yukimura Seichi, chose neither sports nor entertainment. , but went up to the top floor, and took a paintbrush with my cousin to paint an oil painting together in the studio.

Although Yukimura's daily campus activities include tennis, he also has other hobbies, such as oil painting.

On a thunderstorm day, he didn't want to make himself sticky and sweaty. After breakfast, he heard his cousin say that he wanted to go upstairs to paint, so he went with her.

"Speaking of which, my cousin hasn't accepted art-related activities for a while." Standing in front of the easel with a palette in hand, Yukimura talked to his cousin without looking back while painting.

His cousin is not only a chef, but also an internationally recognized painting master with a ten-meter thangka that has painted hell. Recently, there have been frequent moves in the food industry, but not many people remember the other identity of his cousin. .

"That can only be regarded as a side job." Yu Li, who also didn't look up, replied while painting non-stop, "My goal since I was a child was to be a cook, and there was no way to make a living by painting back then."

If her physique has not changed, the painter is indeed her current identity, but now, it will definitely not be her life pursuit.A master of painting will be the end of her life in the art world.

Yukimura couldn't help but stop the paintbrush. He turned sideways and looked at his cousin's drawing board. It depicted the thunderstorm they saw through the floor-to-ceiling glass window. The paintbrush held by the girl kept moving on the canvas. , has shown the scale of semi-finished products.

But even if it was only a semi-finished product, Yukimura could not help but smile when he looked at the oppressive and heavy dark clouds and sea and the spiritually lifelike lightning between the clouds waving between the hands of Shinobu and his own.

"Is this a genius? It's really powerless."

"Is the Son of God over there saying this to praise himself? At least you pick up the racket, cousin, I really can't beat you unless I transform."

"Please don't transform. Your younger brother also hopes to impress you in some fields, and even give you guidance and protection."

"Okay then, let me hide my non-human identity for a while."

The joke dialogue with the atmosphere of the second grade passed quickly. Yu Li was drawn by his cousin to point out his lack of oil painting techniques after he finished painting the thunderstorm graffiti. The professional level is more than enough to guide the amateur level. The youth in Jingshi followed suit Quite a lot.

"By the way, cousin, you said before that you used your "Picture of Hell" and another ten-meter thangka to exchange a lot of ancient swords and swords with the government. How is the progress of the unfinished "Picture of Ultimate Bliss"?"

Where there is hell, there is naturally heaven, but in Japan, heaven is called bliss.When Yuli was in a car accident and was knocked out of her soul, she lived in hell and recuperated. She also played in Gaotianyuan a lot. She was even invited by many gods to see them in their respective shrines because of her culinary skills. Therefore, whether she was painting hell or heaven, she There is plenty of real material.

In the first part, she exchanged the two paintings that seemed to be her lifelong masterpieces with the government for the sake of the present world's full account.

"Progress...it's about halfway." Yu Ideal wanted to reply, "You also know that I'm still very busy this year, and I probably won't be able to complete the work until next year."

"When you're done, cousin, you must remember to ask me to see it first, and then send it away. It was the same last time. I actually saw such a shocking map of hell through the display cabinet in the museum. I feel very sorry when I think about it."

Yu Li heard very real resentment from his cousin's smiling words, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, if this younger brother gets angry, he will be much more difficult to deal with than the others.

When the weather cleared up at noon, the ship had already started its return journey and headed to the pier where it left the port. Knowing that the ship was getting closer and closer to the land, the younger brothers all went to the deck to enjoy the sea.

Although there were some small twists and turns during the three days at sea, they were generally very happy, not to mention the high-end luxury facilities in the yacht, and the top-notch food that my sister eats on average every day. The time when these people play together on the boat is very worthwhile, because Yu Li, the elder sister, these teenagers who know each other are much more familiar and close to each other, which is not something that can be brought by a chat group separated by a network cable.

When the yacht was docked at the pier and the sailors were doing the finishing touches, the three-day sea trip came to an end. Except for Natsume, a high school graduate, the other three would soon spend this summer vacation in a training dormitory.

"Sister, let's come again at this time next year, shall we?" Fujiwara Shingo, who was about to leave with his bag on his back, said good-bye to Yuli, "Of course, the premise must be that you happen to be free!"

Yu Li nodded: "Let's see your report card then."

Shingo: "..."

A circle of unkind laughter came from the side, and the boy immediately raised his eyebrows and raised his fist to chase after him: "What are you laughing at! Do you think the old lady will only look at my grades and not yours!"

The four chased and fought, and quickly left the pier and the port, each heading back to their homes.

Natsume was holding the cat teacher and was also driving the train all the way back to the quiet station in Yayuan.

"Finally back." Natsume also heaved a sigh of relief when he set foot on the land of Yayuan, "Although it is very comfortable and fun on the yacht, it is really tiring after three days in the sea. Especially you, teacher, you have to eat a lot on the boat." Gained a few kilos, even heavier."

After talking about its fatness, Natsume reflexively prepared for Fat Sanhua's hair blowing, but the big cat was uncharacteristically quiet, keeping his eyes fixed on the direction of Tokyo Bay.

"Ms. Kitty?" Natsume couldn't help worrying, "What's wrong?"

"Something's wrong, Natsume." Sanhuamao spoke at this time, with a serious voice, "Today's thunderstorm...it seems to be caused by natural weather, but I can feel the breath of the Dragon King guy. He is angry, so That’s why there was that sudden thunderstorm. It really wasn’t a coincidence that the guys from Dragon Palace went to Xinggong that night.”

"That means... something happened to Dragon Palace?" Xia Mu was also a little worried at this time, "Should I tell Sister Yu Li about it?"

Fat Sanhua shook his head: "Things have reached the point where the Dragon King is angry. It is useless to go to the Star Palace. Now think about the box of jewels that the turtle monster gave me that night. It is simply that the Dragon Palace promised the Star Palace and broke the appointment. Maybe Xinggong suddenly bought a boat and said that he wanted to go to the sea to play in order to go to Dragon Palace. The Dragon King refused Xinggong to go there, making it clear that he didn't want Xinggong to know what happened to Dragon Palace. I can't guarantee whether I will offend the guy who wants to save face."

After hearing the big demon's analysis, Natsume immediately stopped mentioning what he told Yu Li, but soon looked at the big demon subtly.

"What are you looking at me with such distrustful eyes!" Sanhuamao frowned.

"No, it's just a rare time to see you being so serious, Teacher." Natsume smiled, "Besides, after eating so much from Sister Yuli, Teacher is finally willing to think carefully for her. I'm quite happy."

Fat Sanhua became even more angry: "Natsume, you have learned from that kid Fujiwara badly! I have said many times, I am either fat or eat too much, or grow hair!"

It's all the fault of Xinggong and her Fusangshen, who made the food so delicious and let it eat. It accidentally ate too much, so it was caught by Natsume, a brat who has been embarrassing.

Next time... next time it must eat more and come back for revenge!

"Ha chirp!"

As soon as he got out of the car and set foot on the courtyard of Xinggong House, Yu Li suddenly sneezed.

Then a thin shawl was draped over her body.

"My lord, the weather at sea is unpredictable. Even if you come back now, you must take care of your body." It was the concerned butler who urged earnestly with a solemn face.

"I know, I won't make myself catch a cold." Yu Li thanked with a smile, and turned to look at the swords who stayed behind to greet her, "I'm sorry, I was supposed to take the swords on board tomorrow to the Dragon Palace. In the end, I didn’t go and came back early.”

All the swordsmen in Honmaru know the specific situation, and there is nothing they can do about Ryugu’s sudden voluntary refusal, so they pretend to be collectibles and have been hiding in the knife room quietly waiting for the master’s four younger brothers to leave. Whether it is the left-behind group who killed the enemy or watched the house in the base camp, none of them really blamed the master, and they all comforted Yu Li in turn.

"Anyway, there is still a lot of time, and it will be the same next time!" Da Baoping was impatient with this kind of scene. God, there are four newcomers here in Honmaru, and half of them are picked up by me. They are much better than those guys in Sanriyue!"

Seeing that the red-haired Taidao dragged its master and ran away without a trace, Zhongren who was forcibly thrown down in the yard said: "..."

Forget it, what can I say to that silly blade, it would be nice to divert the master's attention.

Because there was a big Baoping who was eager to show off his European spirit (to prove that he was stronger than the five swords in the world), and Yu Li was also shocked and curious that he had four new knives after three days of leaving. After changing clothes and resting for a while, I landed in Honmaru.

Then I found that the new blade included the other two treasures of the Ryukyu Three Treasures: Chatan Nakiri and Zhijin Wan.

Then there is the sword doctor who has been mentioned by Nagayoshi and Hizen Tadahiro: Nankai Taro Chaozun.It is said that the whereabouts of the former master disappeared as early as after he committed seppuku.

The last person who came to salute and say hello to her was Yizhendao, Jizo Xingping, who had a good relationship with the Taidao taught in ancient and modern times.According to historical records, it was burned down in the Ming Dynasty fire.

Ryukyu Three Swords came together to say hello to her lord, probably because Chiyo Kanmaru had a relationship with those two companions, and the new Two Swords were very friendly and close to her.

Nankai Taro Chaozun, who came from behind, was dressed in a kimono, leather shoes and chain glasses, which was indeed in the style of that era. His bookish look made him look less like a soldier and more like a literati, and his attitude was also the same. Gentle and polite, behave respectfully and submissively.

Seeing three government knives in a row, Yu Li habitually thinks so when he sees Ksitigarbha Xing, who is accompanied by Gu Jin, when he thinks of his life.

Dang Shiren shook his head shallowly: "No, I'm from the Tibetan knife team."

The author has something to say:
