Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 113 Cutting off the Immortal
this moment.

All adventurers.

Everyone feels proud!

Genichirō Ashina is undoubtedly the number one villain at the moment.

Some people admire his tenacity and willpower, some think he is too paranoid and crazy, and some think he is just a villain who will do anything to achieve his goal. He is quite controversial both in Ashina and among adventurers.

The main storyline of the early and middle stages of Ashina.

It all revolves around saving the Son of God.

And Genichirō is the biggest obstacle for the adventurers.

From the beginning, the adventurers feel a huge sense of oppression.

Therefore, defeating Genichirō is the top priority that must be accomplished. Now, after going through many hardships and hard work, we finally have the opportunity to defeat our arch-enemy. This is definitely a huge historic breakthrough!
When Ashina Genichirō stood up again.

His body was burned by lightning in many places, but it was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

but.

in this process.

The erosion is accelerating due to the change of the lake.

Ashina Genichirō showed his dissatisfaction: "You have mastered... the lightning counter technique!"

"Stop it!"

Higanbana said: "Your body is about to lose control."

Although she completed a perfect thunder counter, she also knew that a perfect thunder counter was extremely difficult.

This is more difficult than a perfect mirror that bounces back the enemy's force during a clash of two blades.

Higanbana is not sure that it can deflect every attack.

Keep fighting.

The outcome is still unpredictable!

She didn't really think the other party would stop, she just wanted to delay time.

Even if it's just for a second or two.

It is also beneficial for adventurers.

"Ashina is everything to me... In order to save Ashina, I am willing to give up my human identity."

Ashina Genichirō is currently immortal, and Higanbana has no way to cause fatal damage to him. And since the adventurer has mastered the lightning counter, Genichirō is not sure of a quick victory.

This battle.

There is no meaning anymore!
Genichirō knew very well that if he continued fighting, his sanity would be exhausted, but now was not the time to completely lose himself and become a demon!
Although not willing to do so.

But that’s all it takes.

Although Genichirō has high hopes for the Son of God, it does not mean that this is his only chance. Now he must retain his sanity and go to Senpoji to look for other opportunities and hopes to save Ashina.

"Goodbye."

Genichirō did not linger in the fight. In a flash of dazzling lightning, he jumped directly from the castle tower's observation deck.

Did you run away?

Higanbana was stunned.

Genichirō's voluntary giving up.

Make this battle easier than imagined.

Higanbana put away her knife and did not chase after him.

There was no way to kill him anyway, so there wasn't much point in chasing him now.

What's more, Ashina Genichirō is faster than himself. If he really wants to escape, he won't be able to catch up with him with his current ability.

At this time.

There were footsteps coming from behind.

Higanbana immediately grasped the hilt of the knife again and looked at it.

"It seems you have won... Shenzi's ninja." Yongzhen looked relieved. She said slowly: "Thank you, I have finally completed the master's mission."

At this moment, the red spider lily was confused and puzzled.

She then asked, "Who are you loyal to?"

Yongzhen: "Ashina Isshin."

"what?"

The adventurers were all shocked.

No one expected Yongzhen to give such a straightforward answer, and no one expected that the person behind Yongzhen was Ashina Isshin!
Yongzhen continued, "I have never lied to you. I am indeed a pharmacist, serving Master Yixin."

The adventurer's confusion increased instead of decreasing.

"Ashina Isshin...why did he order you to help me?"

"Because Master Isshin doesn't want to use the power of Dragon's Heritage, this power is not enough to change the situation. Instead, it will bring about greater misfortune and disaster. However, Master Genichirō is stubborn and has fallen too deep..."

Higanbana immediately asked, "So, the letter that was thrown into the dungeon was also sent by Yixin?"

"Yes!"

Yongzhen admitted: "Isshin-sama hoped that you could take Kuro away from Ashina, but he didn't expect that he would be discovered by Genichirō."

Higanbana still had many doubts and continued to ask: "What happened to Genichirō? Why can't my sword kill him?"

"This is the power of becoming like water."

"What is water transformation?"

Yongzhen explained, "It is said that this is a kind of water that flows from the Palace of Origin. Anyone who drinks this water will have red eyes, fall into madness, and gradually turn into a monster, but at the same time, they will also have stronger power and life."

"The water used by Genichirō-sama is not ordinary water, but the water of water that my teacher, Dogen, accidentally extracted when he was experimenting with water of water of water of his own."

"This item is hundreds of times more effective than the Water of Transformation. It can grant the human body an immortality that cannot be killed by ordinary weapons. However, the transformation into a monster will also be greatly accelerated. Master Genichirō... is now beyond help!"

Transformation of water.

The pond of change.

The Palace of Source.

A series of keywords and information.

Get excited for the adventurers out there.

"A lot of mysteries have been solved!" Feng Zhongmian said, "I didn't expect that the letter we received in the prologue was actually from Ashina Isshin's will. He wanted us to take Jiulang out of Ashina."

The other adventurers nodded.

Lonely Swordsman: "Isshin underestimated Genichirō's determination. This guy won't give up until he achieves his goal. He even used something as terrifying as the Pond of Transmutation!"

Mao Mengmeng: "By the way, what is the Palace of Origin?"

Nancy Liya immediately thought, "I remember Grandpa Tengu said that the ancient demons of Ashina recorded in ancient paintings controlled divine thunder that was actually the roar of the God of Origin... Is there a connection between this Palace of Origin and the God of Origin?"

Mingyue Zhaoxue said, "Since something as magical as Transformation into Water actually exists, I feel that the Palace of Origin and the God of Origin should also exist!"

“How interesting!”

"Indeed!"

"Headless, White Snake God, Insect Possessed, Transformed into Water, Mysterious Ancient God, Power of Thunder and Lightning, Power of Dragon's Heir... These clues aren't randomly distributed. I sense some underlying pattern, vaguely pointing to a single source."

"This may be a huge secret that has existed in this Ashina land since ancient times!"

"..."

Adventurers love the feeling of exploring and collecting information bit by bit, and finally unraveling the secrets of the plot and the worldview.

The land of Japan is only the size of a palm in this world, and Ashina is just a small and inconspicuous area in Japan.

Such a limited space.

These unusual and strange things.

How could there be no connection at all?
I couldn't help but be shocked once again by the wonderful stories of Ashina Country!
but.

I want to complete the various clues.

This is more difficult than ascending to heaven for the lord who created the secret realm.

The adventurers have a deeper understanding of Qi Laozei's ability to create secret realms. They feel that it can only be described as terrifying. The works he created are basically a real world with history, culture, and heritage.

Talked with Yongzhen for a while.

Got a lot of information.

Higanbana then followed Yongzhen's guidance.

She went downstairs and met Kuro Hirata who was there.

at last……

mission accomplished!

At this moment, Higanbana was extremely excited.

She could also feel Wolf's emotions at the same time. After all, ever since the battle at the Buddhist temple, the Son of God was no longer just the young master to Wolf. Guarding this young man had become his new belief and motivation!
Higanbana stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and whispered, "I've come to welcome you." "When exactly did Lord Genichiro go astray...? But now he's gone too far astray, and I'm afraid he can't turn back."

After Hirata Kuro sighed with regret.

"Thank you, Wolf, for doing this for me."

Higanbana said, "Ashina Castle could fall at any moment, and Genichirō could make a comeback at any moment. This place is no longer safe. Master, please follow me and leave Ashina!"

however.

It’s different from watching the moon from the tower.

This time, Kuro did not accept the idea of ​​leaving Ashina.

"My blood carries the power of the Dragon's Blood, which can turn people into immortals. I'm sure you already know this."

Higanbana: “Yes!”

"This is definitely not a blessing, but a terrible curse. I just wanted to save you at that time, and I would do the same thing again if I had to do it again..."

Hirata Kuro sighed:
"All that remains undead will have dire consequences!"

"Every resurrection brought about by the power of Dragon's Heir comes at the cost of draining the life of this land."

"It will eventually trigger a terrible dragon cough plague, killing countless innocent people. Ultimately, everyone's way of life will be distorted, and it may even lead to a disaster lasting for hundreds of years, with consequences more terrible than war."

"This is why I cannot give the power of Dragon's Heritage to Master Genichirō no matter what!"

It turns out that the seemingly powerful resurrection effect of the power of Dragon's Heritage is actually a curse more terrifying than the Pond of Transformation.

The Pond of Weakness would only transform oneself into an undead, irrational monster, but the Power of Dragon's Heritage would sweep across the entire country and land.

The adventurers also understood the thoughts of Ashina Isshin and Hirata Kuro. If this power is used without restraint, the consequences will be a hundred times more terrible than the war itself.

But the red spider lily was a little puzzled.

Why did Jiulang say this at this time?

Hirata Kyuu sensed the ninja's confusion, so he stated his purpose, "Wolf, I want to break the curse of immortality. Can you assist me?"

Although I don't know how to cut off the immortality.

But this means that Kuro Hirata will have to stay in Ashina.

This is too dangerous!
Ashina Castle faced numerous internal and external troubles.

What's more, the paranoid Genichirō is watching closely.

Higanbana refused and said, "Protecting Master Shenzi is my most important mission. I cannot put Master Shenzi in danger."

Hirata Kuro said seriously, "Wolf, how many times have you died to save me? Once, twice... or maybe even more times than you can count."

The red spider lily said: "As long as I can protect the Son of God, I will do anything for him."

"But I don't want you to bear this endless curse any longer. I also don't want the plague caused by Dragon's Blood to spread and cause other innocent people to die because of me."

Hirata Kuro knelt on one knee in front of the ninja and said sincerely: "Please help me, let us go together to cut off the immortality and put an end to this endless disaster!"

This is just a child in his early teens.

But it shows a maturity and compassion far beyond that of ordinary people.

The red spider lily was moved.

She then said in a deep voice: "As you wish, but I don't know how to do it."

Jiulang's eyes suddenly brightened.

"I found the record of severing the Dragon's Blood in the castle tower's library!"

"According to ancient records, those who wish to sever the power of the Dragon's Blood must journey to the Immortal Realm and seek something called Dragon's Tears."

Red Spider Lily: "Where is the fairyland? And how do I get there?"

"Please look at this incense burner."

There is an ancient incense burner enshrined in the hall.

"I heard that there was a Dragon's Heir Godson named 'Jo' in Ashina, but he died many years ago."

Jiulang explained, "He left behind this relic, along with a last word: 'Only by carrying the fragrance of the source can one return to the Immortal Palace.' That's roughly what he meant."

Higanbana: "In other words, obtaining the source of fragrance is the key to reaching the fairyland!"

"It should be...but how should we do it? We need to solve this mystery together!"

The red spider lily became excited.

The adventurers were all excited.

Baihe Jushi commented: "If before this, the core mission of us adventurers was to rescue the Son of God, then from now on the core mission is to sever the immortality."

Black Stone Hammer King said: "Cut off the immortal? Sounds so cool!"

Mingyue Zhaoxue praised: "The plot of Ashina Country is closely linked and progressive. Not only is the development very reasonable, but the appeal is also continuously increasing."

The white deer nodded. "This is so exciting! As the story progresses, we are unlocking more secrets of Ashina Country. This feels so great!"

"As expected of the lord!"

Nancy Liya admired him: "He completely integrated the history, country, war, and mystery of Ashina into the plot."

“As we explore the plot, we are learning about the country’s present and past, and we are also witnessing and participating in its future.”

"I absolutely believe that Ashina Country really existed!"

"..."

Everyone was deeply attracted by the stories, emotions, details and worldview presented in this secret place.

Jiulang is going to the castle tower library.

Find out more about how to get to Fairyland.

In addition to entering the fairyland, knowing how to cut off immortality is also very important.

Jiulang didn't know how to do this specifically, but he asked Higanbana for help.

This person.

Not someone else.

It was Ashina Isshin.

The adventurers were all surprised by this. They could actually visit Ashina Isshin directly? The adventurers had just severely injured his grandson and caused a big commotion in the castle tower!

Even so.

But everyone is also very curious.

Everyone wants to know what kind of person this mysterious legendary figure is.

According to Yongzhen, Ashina Isshin has been recuperating in a watchtower near the castle tower due to his poor health and has not appeared in public for a long time.

No hesitation.

Find the watchtower as soon as possible.

When Higanbana walked into the room, she immediately saw an old man with silver hair, a thin body, a face full of wrinkles and age spots, and who looked like he was about to die, sitting on the ground drinking alone.

Is this Ashina Isshin?
The adventurers were amazed.

Mao Mengmeng complained, "What a mess Ashina Castle has become! The old man, the de facto ruler, actually has the leisure to drink here alone!"

Pig King: "What else can we do? The defeat is already decided!"

Black Stone Hammer King: "Yeah, I think this old man has a very good and free-spirited attitude."

Feng Zhongmian: "Hey, look carefully, the old man's features are almost the same as the Tengu we met in Otemon before. Could Ashina Isshin be the old Tengu who taught us Thunder Counter?"

"what?"

"No way!"

"This should have been guessed a long time ago."

The Lonely Swordsman said, "The only person in Ashina who has the ability to single-handedly kill a group of Lone Shadow elites is probably this Ashina Swordsman!"

Mingyue Zhaoxue: "He's aged to this point, almost on his last legs. He looks like he could die at any moment. Even so, he still has this much strength. I wonder how strong he was at his peak!"

"That's weird."

"Why would he help us?"

"Without his guidance, we wouldn't be able to learn the Thunder Counter Technique, and this battle on the castle tower would be very difficult."

"..."

While the adventurers were discussing.

Ashina Isshin: "Huh? There's a guest!"

Higanbana: "I am here on the orders of the Son of God to seek advice from Master Yixin..."

Ashina Isshin laughed heartily: "Hahaha, before that, let's have a drink first. This is a reward for your victory over my good-for-nothing grandson!"

Higanbana: "Ah? You don't blame me?"

Ashina Isshin: "Genichirō, that good-for-nothing kid, is too stubborn to repent. He's resorted to such unscrupulous means, even stooping to the level of using the Pond of Transmutation. Now that he's reached this point, there's no turning back..."
