Chapter 183 - Kyoto Incident

…

"We will reach the top of the mountain within ten seconds." Shang Quannai's face was close to my wife Shancun's. His tone was sinister and terrifying, and his scarlet and bloodshot eyes added to the feeling of horror.

My wife Shancun shivered as she knelt down to confess her crime.

Is there anything scarier than trying to cheat only to find that the teacher has left the cheat sheet with you? !

"Otherwise, you can prepare your own tomb first."

"Cenotaph?!"

…

…

Near the top of the mountain.

The running crowd heard my wife Shancun's screams, which were like a ghost crying and a wolf howling.

They all stopped and looked back in surprise.

"Hey... was that Shancun's voice just now?" Kazama Chengya frowned slightly, and he said to Minazuki Bai beside him.

"What happened? He seems to be asking for help."

"Something is wrong."

Minazuki Bai nodded and responded to Kazama Chengya.

"Huh..." Purgatory Jinjuro breathed heavily, constantly using the rhythm of breathing to stabilize his breath.

Snap.

Iwami Inkstone jumped down from the tree and stood still, silently looking down the mountain.

"Amitabha."

The strange thing is that none of the four pillars made any move to go down the mountain to help my wife Shancun.

They were in perfect agreement and did not move, just standing there and watching.

And the next moment.

"boom--!!"

An eye-piercing golden thunder burst out at the foot of the mountain, followed by an unpleasant cry like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.

Golden and blue thunder and lightning intertwined, growing larger and larger in the field of vision.

Swish——!

Carrying a scorching heat wave, it rushed up from the mountain in an instant.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

In an instant, it passed by the four standing pillars.

The hot wind blew Si Zhu's hair, and only then did several people react. They looked back in shock at my wife, Shancun, who had already rushed to the top of the mountain.

In the eyes of everyone.

My wife Shancun, who was in tears, soared into the sky, and golden thunder bloomed in the summer sunshine.

…

…

Kyoto.

Pedestrians and vendors were busy coming and going.

Neon at this time can only have such a "prosperous" scene in Kyoto, which is now known as "Edo Castle".

At least the war seemed to have no impact on the city.

On the outskirts of Kyoto, there are still many peasants and soldiers moving stones to build Edo Castle.

Pong! Pong!

Someone was waving the manuscript in their hands vigorously, and could only wipe the sweat with a worn and rough piece of cloth on their forehead.

"Hello."

"Have you heard the recent rumors?"

An ashigaru spoke cautiously to his companions beside him. After speaking, he looked around with some fear:

"That rumor in the city." Ashigaru's tone was very scared, even a little trembling.

"What? What made you so panicked?" His companion disagreed, but smiled disdainfully, finding Ashigaru's tone funny.

"That's it!" Ashigaru smacked his lips. He looked a little impatient and reached out to pat the other person.

Seeing Ashigaru's demeanor and movements, his companion occasionally looked seriously for a while, his eyes were a little helpless:

"You mean... the recent rumors about the 'big monster' in the city?"

"Yes, yes, no matter day or night, there will be people disappearing from home!"

Ashigaru nodded quickly. He didn't dare to say what kind of monster that thing was: "It's scary!"

"Is it really a monster with such methods?"

His companions were accustomed to talking casually with the ashigaru. He turned around and waved the pickaxe in his hand vigorously:

"It's more like the concealment methods of the gods in mythology..."

"God...?" Ashikaga frowned slightly and tilted his head without denying it.

What these two people don't know is that the retainers of the Kamigami clan who are now asking them to build Edo Castle mobilized manpower to build it just because of this rumor.

——They want to expand and renovate this ancient city.

——To suppress the so-called "rumors" and "big monsters".

underground.

I don’t know how many meters deep it is.

An unreasonably huge building appeared here and squeezed out a space.

The dim light flickered with blood red.

This is - Infinite City.

Takehara, wearing a blood-red mask, sat on the treetops, as quiet as a dead statue.

The treetops of the huge blood vessels are extremely sharp, breaking through the deep soil layer and growing towards the top of Infinite City.

Creak...

The treetops of blood vessels continue to extend, gradually filling the entire underground space of "Edo Castle".

Then, a small treetop was aimed at a certain location on the ground.

Poof!

Break out of the ground fiercely!

Plunged into something soft on the ground.

Gudu, Gudu, start drinking in big sips.

on the ground.

In a mansion.

In a dark room.

"Ah!!" As soon as the maid carrying tea entered the room, she was so frightened by the scene in front of her that the tea in her hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

in front of her.

——The master of the house, who was sitting on the floor and holding a bamboo slip in his hand, had raised his head high and his eyes were popping out of his sockets.

A red thing protruded from his mouth, as if it had penetrated him, constantly bulging.

As the red treetops rose and fell, the master's body slowly shriveled up under the gaze of the maid.

——Finally turned into a piece of human skin that can transmit light.

The maid looked at the scene in front of her in horror. She fell to the ground, her body was unable to walk, and her pupils slowly turned bright because of the fright.

Finally, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Subsequently.

Poof!

Another red treetop penetrated the maid's abdomen, starting a new round of absorption.

…

underground.

In the infinite city.

A giant tree with blood vessels extended from the back of Naru's head, and a huge opening opened on the trunk on the other side of the giant tree.

Poof!

A red, human-sized egg wrapped in mucus was spat out.

Through the translucent ball wall, the creatures inside can be vaguely seen.

——It is a human form.

…

Time slowly came to noon.

Mountain top.

The top of Mt. Saagiri is covered with dense forests and shrouded in mist. Even at noon, the visibility here is still very low.

The light was as dim as evening, and only the dense forest in the thick fog in the distance was faintly penetrated with white light.

The oxygen is also extremely thin, even less than the oxygen in the swamp.

I feel short of breath even after doing a little exercise.

The five pillars stood in a row, holding their own weapons in their hands.

The newly joined Tsukuni Iwakatsu and the ninjas stood on the other side and did not stand with the pillars.

Enichi Tsukuni and Jiichiro were sitting on a stone nearby, smiling and waving to the pillars.

Shang Quannai stood in front of Zhu. He had already let them rest for the entire morning.

After all, everyone has been up all night and must be very tired at the moment. If you train too much under such circumstances, you will be ruined.

"Papa!" He clapped his hands, making the pillars wake up a little.
