Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 138 Shocking Return
this moment.

The red spider lily still feels like a dream.

This is a long but great adventure.

It’s finally coming to a perfect end!

She explored most areas of Ashina along the way and saw too many unforgettable wonders and various vivid characters.

This tiny country, the small country of Japan.

Its stories and history are so real, legendary and exciting.

When all the clues and plots were finally concluded in the Palace of Origin and the Fairyland, they were pushed to a climax in the shocking battle against the Sakura Dragon.

Adventurers personally created history and created legends.

The secret realm of Miracle City is simply God's art. No other dungeon or secret realm can bring such a refreshing and ultimate experience.

As for the final battle?

It is an unforgettable experience for the red spider lily!

The fairyland illusion gradually fell apart and ceased to exist as the Sakura Dragon was defeated.

Although the Sakura Dragon was killed in the dream, it was obviously not completely dead. It just fell into another deep sleep. If it cannot be sent away by the "Dragon's Return" method.

It will wake up again in a few years.

The Dragon's Heir Curse will also appear again.

After Higanbana exited the secret realm, she discovered that the beautiful girl Yujia, who was kneeling in front of the sarcophagus, was now completely lifeless. Cracks quickly appeared on her body and gradually weathered away.

When the Sakura Dragon fell asleep again.

She was finally freed from the dream from which she could never wake up.

It is not advisable to stay here for long, so Higanbana is teleported directly to Ashina Castle through the Demon Buddha. Just as she is about to report the good news to Ashina Isshin and Hirata Kuro, the scene presented in Ashina Castle makes all the adventurers change their expressions.

Compared to the last time I left.

The inner court launched a more thorough general offensive.

Now the gate of Ashina Castle has been completely broken, the main city area has been engulfed in flames, the streets are filled with the sounds of fighting, the blazing flames have dyed the night red, and the pungent smoke has engulfed every corner.

The streets and alleys of Ashina Castle turned into a battlefield.

The inner court's ninja unit "Lone Shadow Group" and the regular unit "Red Army" are encircling and suppressing the Ashina soldiers who are resisting stubbornly and refusing to surrender. The Ranba Group and the lower-level soldiers are taking advantage of the chaos to burn, kill and loot.

Adventurers all realize a cruel fact.

This small country will not survive tonight!

Ashina Castle has fallen.

When the sun rises again tomorrow, Ashina will become history. This majestic city full of historical heritage will be reduced to scorched earth, and a new order will be re-established on the scorched earth.

No one can stop such a historical torrent!

The era of Ashina is completely over!

When the adventurers faced Ashina Castle which had turned into a sea of ​​fire and scorched earth, with fighting continuing everywhere, each of them felt a deep sense of heaviness and tragedy.

Tragedy and destruction are inevitable.

No matter how hard the adventurers tried, it was of no avail.

However, it is precisely because of this powerlessness and tragedy that the adventurer feels more deeply that this world is full of flesh and blood, and an epic sense of the cycle of heaven and the change of dynasties arises.

And this epic feeling.

Perhaps this is one of the biggest features of the Exotic Ten Kingdoms!

This is one of the key differences from other secret realms in Miracle City.

It is also a shocking atmosphere that can never be created by any secret place other than Miracle City.

Higanbana had no time to sigh, because most of Ashina Castle was destroyed and most of the demons and Buddhas had disappeared. She could only fight her way back and killed more than a dozen Red Army soldiers and the Lone Shadow Clan.

Finally back to the castle tower.

At this moment, the castle tower was burning fiercely. The huge palace turned into a huge torch. The raging fire devoured and spread mercilessly, destroying all traces of it.

"not good!"

The adventurers became worried.

"Is the Son of God going to be okay?"

Although Hirata Kuro is immortal, so the fire cannot kill him, if even the castle tower is breached, then the Dragon Prince of God may have been abducted.

at this time.

Another shocking scene appeared.

On the open square below the castle tower.

At this moment, nearly a hundred corpses lay piled up haphazardly, all of them either members of the Lone Shadows in purple robes or members of the Red Guards in crimson armor. Most of their fatal wounds were fatal from a single blow, demonstrating the unparalleled skill of the attackers.

Who did it?

The answer is not difficult to guess.

The adventurers have seen a figure among the pile of corpses.

The figure had gray hair and was skinny. His white robe had been stained blood red. He was sitting on the steps of the castle tower's main gate. His right hand was tightly grasping a long sword full of notches, and his eyes were wide open with dilated pupils.

It's Ashina Isshin.

There was no breath of life left in him.

This Ashina swordsman, who was famous in Japan, has been dead for some time.

"Wolf……"

A soft female voice came from the side.

Yongzhen appeared in front of the adventurer with a sad face.

"Isshin-sama fought to the end. He kept his promise to you."

The old sword master had already worn out his energy, but he managed to resist death temporarily with his willpower, and in his last moments he still fought against many enemies alone and prevented them from breaking into the castle tower.

now.

Even though he died a long time ago.

The posture of sitting with a sword in hand.

He still looked like an eagle watching a wolf.

For a moment, the adventurers were all in awe.

"How tragic!"

"The old swordsman is a real man!"

"Without the Rust Pills he gave us, it would be difficult for us to clear the Palace of Origin within the limited time."

"Without his personal protection, the Son of God would have likely been kidnapped. Even if we could break through to the Palace of Origin, it would be difficult to ensure the safety of the Son of God."

"Besides, he also taught us the secret technique of thunder counterattack."

"This is the key to defeating the Sakura Dragon."

"The country has fallen..."

"Death from old age..."

"This is fate that cannot be changed."

"The warriors of Ashina fought to the very end, and the swordsman of Ashina died in shame. This may be the best way for them to say goodbye!"

"..."

While the adventurers were discussing.

The flower asked, "Where is the Son of God?"

Yong Zhen replied, "He has evacuated through the secret passage in the water diversion tower."

"Thank you!"

No time to waste!
After saying goodbye to Yongzhen.

The red spider lily immediately flew towards the water diversion tower.

Along the way, he killed more than a dozen Red Armored Army soldiers and the Ashina people who were driven crazy by the use of Transformation Water. In the process, he killed two Red Armored Army generals and an Ashina Seven-gun.

The Red Guards' army all had second-level and three-star strength.

However, it poses no threat to the current red spider lily.

The secret passage that Kuro Hirata evacuated is not unfamiliar to the adventurers, because this secret passage is the secret passage that the adventurers took when they rescued Shen Zi in the prologue of Ashina.

When you pass through the secret passage and reach the reed plain.

This is where the dream begins and the starting point of this legendary adventure.

The red spider lily has returned here again, and there is a strong sense of trance and fate.

Kuro Hirata is outside.

But there was another person beside him.

Higanbana grasped the hilt of the knife: "It's you again!"

That's right.

Not someone else.

It’s Ashina Genichirō!
We met again in the same place.

It's really a duel full of fate!
Genichirō had disheveled hair and was not wearing any armor. More than 80% of his upper body had been corroded by black air. His eyes glowed red like a demon, and Kuro Hirata was being held hostage by him.

Higanbana said in a deep voice: "Turn back...Ashina is doomed!"

Ashina Genichirō's expression at this moment was like that of a ferocious demon. "No, as long as I am still here, as long as I still have the power of Dragon's Heritage, Ashina will never perish. Anyone who tries to stop me will die!"

While talking.

Pull out a long knife.

The blade was a strange black color with wisps of gray mist wrapped around it.

It gives people a very eerie feeling, like a knife from the underworld.

Jiulang immediately warned: "Be careful, the knife in his hand... is another Undying Slash!"

There are two Undead Swords, one black and one red.

The sword that Higanbana found in Senpou Temple was the red Undying Sword, and Ashina Genichirō dug up his master Tomoe's grave and found another one, which was the black Undying Sword.

There is this Immortal Slash.

Theoretically speaking.

Genichirō can kill adventurers.

When Genichirō drew his sword, a strong wind blew up across the plain, and golden lightning flashed in the night sky, filling the originally beautiful reed marsh with a cold murderous aura.

"It seems that only by completely killing you can the Son of God be forced to hand over the power of Dragon's Blood!"

Ashina Genichirō caught Kuro but did not escape immediately. Instead, he waited for the adventurer to appear in this place, just to fight a decisive battle with the adventurer.

The other shore flower sighed: "I acknowledge your will, but you have embarked on the wrong path. All your efforts are destined to be in vain. Since this battle is inevitable... then let it begin!" With a whoosh.

Two figures attacked at the same time.

The flying catkins in the sky collided with each other.

The blades in their hands reflected each other's faces and eyes.

A man with red eyes and a ferocious expression, like a vengeful demon from hell.

A man with a resolute expression and compassionate eyes, who also has the belief and reason that he absolutely cannot lose.

Dang Dang Dang!
Sparks flew and sword energy spread everywhere.

The two fought for ten rounds in a row.

At this moment, Higanbana's strength has reached about level two and four stars, which is completely different from the level one and five stars at the beginning.

She at this moment.

Not only did he regain all of the wolf's abilities.

After dozens of fierce battles of varying sizes.

He had already perfectly integrated with the wolf's body and mind, and possessed dozens of skills and various ninja tools to assist him.

Ashina Genichirō's attacking methods, whether it is the Ashina-ryu swordsmanship or the Genshin Palace swordsmanship, have long been familiar to Higanbana, and she can deal with them calmly by instinct and muscle memory.

But a dozen rounds.

Ashina Genichirō is at a disadvantage!

"I can't lose... I can't lose!"

Ashina Genichirō fell into a frenzy, the red light in his eyes became more and more ferocious. He suddenly summoned a thunder of Ba, which turned into a thunder spear and attacked Higanbana.

"This trick is no longer useful!"

After the battles in Genshin Palace, especially with Sakura Dragon, Higanbana has fully understood the characteristics of Genshin Thunder. She can even catch Sakura Dragon's thunder, let alone Ashina Genichirō?
Take a leap.

In the moment when lightning bursts.

Higanbana swung her sword to pull the lightning back, and more than ten meters of reeds were burned to ashes, and all the violent power was returned to Genichirō.

Genichirō half-knelt on the ground.

His whole body was charred and he became weak.

Although the charred skin quickly repaired itself under the influence of the immortal power of the Pond of Transformation, the black corrosion had almost covered almost the entire body in the process, and it was only one step away from becoming a monster.

Higanbana said, "Genichirō, you can't even defeat me, and you still want to reverse the world's situation and save the already destroyed Ashina Kingdom? Don't dream!"

Ashina Genichirō stood up again.

I know that I have very little time left.

In his last moments, when he could still be called a human being, his eyes and expression calmed down. He took one last look in the direction of Ashina Castle and said, "Ashina... I have tried... everything... but in the end, I still didn't accomplish anything..."

The adventurers saw this.

I was somewhat moved.

Although Genichirō is unscrupulous and extremely extreme, no one can deny that he loves this land deeply and will give everything without hesitation to save this country.

Why bother?
Change of dynasties.

The general trend of history.

It’s not something that can be changed by one person!

Ashina Genichirō's eyes were dejected and his tone was low. "But I still believe that Dragon's Blood will continue the lifeblood of this country, and Ashina's long night will eventually dawn..."

While talking.

He held the Immortal Slash across his neck.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this.

Could it be that Genichirō finally came to his senses and decided to give up?
"Since my power isn't enough to save Ashina, then let the strongest man come back... If he's in peak condition, he'll definitely be able to restore Ashina's sight!"

Without waiting for everyone's reaction.

Genichirō suddenly exerted force.

The black immortal slash directly cut open the neck, creating a huge wound that was fatal. Blood gushed out instantly, leaving Higanbana stunned.

Committed suicide?
No, something is wrong!
Ashina Genichirō's blood formed a large blood mist.

At this time, a hand stretched out from the blood mist and grasped the long sword that was about to fall from Genichirō. Then a figure was seen standing out from the blood released by Genichirō.

at the same time.

Genichirō's body quickly weathered and disappeared.

When everyone saw this man's appearance, they were all dumbfounded with anger.

This person is not unfamiliar.

It was the Sword Saint Ashina Isshin.

However, he doesn't look like the skinny old man before, but the state he was in at the beginning of the Ashina chapter, when he was wearing samurai armor and duelling with the chief commander of the inner court, Tamura Yoshifumi!
In other words.

Ashina Isshin who was already dead.

At this moment, he not only reappeared in the world, but also returned to his prime.

"what happened?"

"In the end what happened?"

"Ashina Isshin not only returned, but also returned to his youth!"

"..."

This change and expansion.

It can be said that it exceeded everyone's expectations.

Hirata Kuro then explained: "Master Genichirō's immortal slash is called 'Kaimon'. It is a weapon that can resurrect the dead from the underworld."

Only adventurers know that different Undead Swords have different abilities.

The main function of the red immortal sword "Bai Lei" is to hold the Bai Lei ceremony and cut off the immortal dragon's descendants.

The Black Undead Slash "opens the door". It cannot obtain dragon tears, but it can resurrect a dead undead by sacrificing a voluntary undead body.

Genichirō at this moment.

Completely transformed into immortality.

When reason is devoured by madness.

He simply sacrificed his immortal body.

The person he resurrected was Ashina Isshin, who had just died not long ago.

This Ashina Isshin not only came back to life, but he also suddenly became nearly thirty years younger, arriving here in the prime of his life at less than fifty years old.

"I felt my poor grandson's final plea and will..."

Isshin said, "Wolf, although I never agreed with Genichirō's actions, he gave everything for Ashina and brought me back to the world at the cost of never being reborn. How can I, as his grandfather, completely ignore his last wishes?"

For a while.

The sense of solemnity is stronger.

There were strong winds and thunder and lightning.

The middle-aged swordsman exuded a powerful sense of oppression and murderous aura.

The Ashina Swordmaster never thought of obtaining the Dragon's Heir.

But even he was moved by his grandson's will.

After Genichirō sacrifices himself, he will not only lose his body but also his soul.

From now on, there will be no hope of resurrection, and there will be no trace of Genichirō anymore.

"At this moment, I have the ability to command a group of Ashina heroes to challenge the Inner Court once again. However, once they draw their swords, they will cause years of suffering. In the end, it will probably be difficult to stop the Inner Court..."

Ashina is caught in a dilemma.

He set his eyes on the red spider lily: "Give me an answer!"

Higanbana was stunned.

Ashina Isshin took a fighting stance and shouted, "Sekiro! Kill me and stop this from happening! Or I'll kill you and restore the Ashina name!"

When faced with a choice.

He treated this battle as a gamble.

The result of the duel is the answer.

If the wolf can defeat it, dust will return to dust, earth will return to earth, and everything will be settled.

If Lang cannot stop him, even though Ashina Isshin does not agree in his heart, he will still use this strong body to try to challenge the inner court again and stir up a bloody storm.

Higanbana faces the oppressive middle-aged swordsman.

Not only did I not feel any pressure.

Instead, I was surprised and even ecstatic!
"Don't I also want to fight with a true hero?"

"Although Genichirō's actions were foolish, they satisfied a huge regret of mine!"

Higanbana has always admired the old sword master, so she often fantasizes that if she could be a contemporary of the sword master, she would definitely have a fight with him.

Now the dream comes true!
This must be the final battle of the Ashina arc.

This story begins with Yi Xin stealing the country and ends with Yi Xin in the final battle to destroy the country. The whole process is full of ups and downs from beginning to end, forming a perfect closed loop.

It’s so wonderful!

You can see these contents!
Adventurers have no regrets anymore!
"Please don't feel guilty, Isshin-sama!"

Higanbana said: "Actually, I never believed... that you are the strongest in Ashina!"

Upon hearing this, Ashina Isshin laughed heartily: "Hahaha, if that's the case, then come on... Remember, hesitation will lead to defeat, and I won't show mercy. I will go all out in this battle!"

Genichirō's tragedy comes to an end.

Ashina Isshin's shocking return.

The adventurers watching in the secret hall were all amazed and amazed!
"Lord Qi... is too strong!"

"I thought Sakura Dragon was the limit!"

“I didn’t expect to see such a battle!”

"This design is absolutely amazing. It's not only full of a sense of fate, but also meets all expectations!"

"..."

All adventurers have a blast!
This battle is so meaningful.

Their anticipation for this battle is even no less than that of challenging the God of Source!
At this moment, the wind and thunder became more violent.

The adventurer and the Ashina Swordmaster took up combat stances.
