I, Wang Ha, the Three Red Unparalleled Assassin

Meanwhile, in the central square of the Moon Capital, where a large number of Moon people had gathered, a dark hole that seemed to lead to an unknown destination appeared, attracting the attention and curiosity of the Moon people.

But the Moon People, who had long been accustomed to a life of ease, had no sense of vigilance whatsoever. They simply made a phone call to report the situation to the Moon Rabbit soldier responsible for maintaining the security of the Moon Capital, and then stood there lamenting the boredom of their lives.

Today, the lunar capital, hidden beneath the great barrier on the moon, remains perfectly peaceful.

Chapter Eighty-Eight: Offering Evening Bells to the Beautiful Lunar Capital

"Is this the end? It's been a long and tedious journey."

The old man of the mountain, walking on the endless road of emptiness, saw a light ahead. That single glimmer in the darkness guided his journey in the right direction like a beacon.

As the old man of the mountain stepped out of the gate, he was greeted by a desolate city covered with steel buildings, exuding a strong sense of futuristic technology.

"Hmm? This place..."

Before the old man of the mountain could think it over carefully, the Moon People who had been surrounding the gate of the boundary took out their guns and surrounded him.

The leader of the Lunarians glanced at the black greatsword in the old man's hand, his eyes showing contempt, and he scoffed at this outdated weapon that had long been obsolete.

Although the old man of the mountain looked terrifying, the Moon people immediately regained their courage after weighing the guns in their hands.

Moreover, this place is the territory of the Moon People, so even if any danger occurs, they can call for support on the spot. There is nothing to be afraid of or worried about.

"Could it be some filthy earthling? We must kill it and throw it out before it causes pollution."

"We need to stay away from him. Once the noble Moon People are corrupted, they will be executed without mercy."

The Moon People nearby were also discussing among themselves, very curious about the appearance of the Mountain Elder.

"Hey, who are you? What are you doing here? How did you manage to break through the lunar barrier and invade our Moon Capital?"

An unknown extra, a Moon Man, pointed a gun at the Mountain Elder and questioned him, implying that he would shoot him immediately if they disagreed.

Before the old man of the mountain could answer, a melodious, heavy, and resounding evening bell rang throughout the entire Moon Capital.

"Boom—! Boom—! Boom—!"

The old man of the mountain, having heard the tolling of the bell, received a revelation from the will of heaven. His eyes blazed with crimson light, and billowing ghostly fire ignited on the greatsword, while boundless black-gray death energy spread out.

Although the old man of the mountain does not recognize the person before him, as long as he hears the lingering sound of the evening bell that represents destiny, he will transform into the god of death from the valley of darkness and bring the deserved death to his target.

Regardless of right or wrong, or conflicts of interest, everything is about fulfilling one's own responsibilities.

The Old Man of the Mountain lowered his head slightly, glancing at the Moon People surrounding him, and murmured in a deep, resonant voice:

"Foolish ones who have escaped their predetermined death? Is this power divine? Yet the evening bell has revealed your end. Submit to fate and return to your rightful end!"

The unleashed power of death instantly robbed the Moon People of their lives, their bodies turning to ashes and their souls departing for reincarnation, without even a chance to be resurrected.

Realizing something was wrong from a distance, the Moon People hurriedly pulled the triggers of their guns, and in an instant, all kinds of firearms spat out flames, creating a sound that was enough to attract the attention of the guards.

A dense hail of bullets rained down on the old man of the mountain, making a clanging sound and sparking intensely, but not even a single hole or dent was made in his armor.

"Boom—! Boom—! Boom—! Boom—! Boom—!"

The evening bells grew louder and louder, and the weak Moon People perished in large numbers from the bells, which contained the power of death and the impact on their souls, without even the Old Man of the Mountain needing to wield his sword.

The Old Man of the Mountain, the embodiment of death, caused catastrophic turmoil upon his appearance in the Lunar Capital.

Even if the evening bell does not ring, the Old Man of the Mountain, who is the source of death, will still arouse the hostility of the Moon People and lead to an irreversible conflict.

The final result would be nothing more than being swept away by a greatsword and mowed down in a wave of Musou attacks, which is no different from what is happening now.

A hazy, deathly aura erupted and spread from the Mountain Elder, sweeping across and engulfing half of the Moon Capital like a storm, and was still rapidly advancing towards the surrounding areas.

"No! No! Don't come any closer!!"

"I am a noble Moonborn! I am immortal! Monster, you cannot kill me!!"

"Lord Tsukiyo no Mikoto will not let you go! Once the lunar army arrives, you will definitely die!"

"Please, please, let me go. I'll give you anything. I have a very high status in the Moon Capital, I'll give you anything!"

Despite the various voices pleading or threatening that came from his ears, the old man of the mountain did not slow down his pace, and he never even paid attention to what these people were saying.

Those who defy fate deserve no pity; even if they want to kneel down to repent and beg for forgiveness, it is futile.

Those are things about meeting God or the gods of the underworld after death, and the old man of the mountain's duty is simply to send them to where they are meant to go, nothing more.

Moreover, would the Old Man of the Mountain, who was once the Lich King and the King of the Undead, ever be swayed by useless emotions and soften his heart when the evening bells toll?

If there is one, it is absolutely the funniest joke I have ever heard, bar none.

The sound of the evening bells echoing in the air immediately alarmed Tsukiyo no Mikoto and the Sages of the Moon, and the fact that the Moon People suffered a massive loss of lives in an instant caused an unprecedented uproar.

While in seclusion, Yueye Jianzun broke through his cultivation barrier with a single palm strike and flew rapidly towards the direction where Shan Zhiweng was located.

"Kaguya, you stay here quietly. I'm going outside to see what's going on. Something terrible has happened."

Eirin Yagokoro gave Kaguya Houraisan a few instructions, then grabbed the bow and longbow from inside the room and ran out quickly, her blue eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

Imprisoned in the stone house, Chang'e looked out through the bars of the cell door. Having once eaten the elixir of immortality and transformed into a Penglai person, she was extremely sensitive to the power of death, and she clapped her hands in delight at the fate of the Moon Capital.

(Note: In the Eastern world, the elixir of immortality that Chang'e ate was made by Yagokoro Eirin. Xu Fu also ate the elixir of immortality and became a person of Penglai.)

After class, Watatsuki Toyohime and Watatsuki Yorihime, who were walking home together, were the first people to find the old man of the mountain after the evening bell rang.

"Divine Possession - Susanoo-no-Mikoto!"

Flying in the air, Watatsuki Yorihime was enveloped in golden divine light. Her ability to possess a deity allowed her to directly choose a powerful god to borrow their power.

Susanoo, also known as Susanoo, is one of the three main gods in Japanese mythology, and his most famous deity is the slaying of the drunken Yamata no Orochi.

"The Kusanagi Sword!!"

Possessed by the power of Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Watatsuki Yorihime pulled out this renowned divine sword. The sword, which was pulled from the tail of Yamata no Orochi, was incredibly sharp, and its gleaming blade reflected the golden light of divine power.

Watatsuki Yorihime had slain countless enemies with this sword before. The indestructible divine sword, combined with the power of the gods and her own outstanding combat awareness, made it an invincible weapon.

Furthermore, Watatsuki Yorihime can switch between the gods she relies on at any time depending on the battle situation and the opponent, and her all-around, invincible combat ability makes her an undefeated general.

His few defeats were all against powerful seniors like Tsukiyo Mikoto and Yagokoro Eirin.

"You bastard who indiscriminately slaughters innocent people, you shall pay with your life!!!"

Watatsuki Yorihime descended from the sky, wielding the Ame-no-Murakumo sword and slashing at the old man of the mountain with unstoppable momentum and all her might, attempting to kill the culprit who had wreaked havoc on the Moon Capital with a single strike.

"Power borrowed from some unknown god? If it's not one's own, it's nothing but a fake."

Faced with Watatsuki Yorihime's fierce attack, the old man of the mountain raised the Death Announcement Sword, which was wrapped in the aura of death and ghostly fire, and met it head-on. The swords clashed and produced a very brief, crisp sound.

Before Watatsuki Yorihime's stunned gaze, the once invincible Ama-no-Kurakumo sword was severed in one strike, leaving her bewildered and at a loss.

After all, although this Kusanagi sword is much more powerful than most divine weapons, it is ultimately just a projection of the true form.

It's not impossible that someone might be killed instantly by the old man of the mountain with a single sword strike if they're unlucky.

Seeing Watatsuki Yorihime's worldview shattered in an instant, the old man of the mountain raised his jet-black greatsword without any joy or sorrow, drawing a perfect semi-circular trajectory in the air.

At that moment, Watatsuki Toyohime, who was following closely behind, narrowed her eyes and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yorihime, watch out! Get out of the way!!!"

Chapter Eighty-Nine: Me, Seen by the Moonlit Night, Living a Life of Self-Reliance

"Am I... going to die?"

Watatsuki Yorihime was awakened by Watatsuki Toyohime's shouts, but with her broken sword in hand, she had no time to defend herself against the greatsword aimed at her neck.

"Hmm? Divine Child, Princess Tamayori of the Moon? She still has more than enough lifespan."

The old man of the mountain, who had received inspiration from the sound of the evening bell, sensed that the person in front of him was different from the other moon people whose lifespans were negative. His sword-wielding arm hesitated for a moment before hesitating.

Just then, an arrow with its arrowhead temporarily cut off shot from afar and struck Watatsuki Yorihime, the immense force pushing her to the side.

Standing at a distance, Watatsuki Toyohime seized the opportunity to activate her ability, teleporting Watatsuki Yorihime, who had just barely escaped from the sword, to her side.

Unlike her younger sister's ability, which is extremely suited for combat, Watatsuki Toyohime possesses a power called 'the ability to connect mountains and seas,' which is essentially a kind of ability to control things that can disappear into the shadows.

Although the name 'the ability to connect mountains and seas' sounds very difficult to understand, its specific manifestation is simply spatial teleportation, which can instantly connect two different places.

This ability to move at supersonic speeds is unmatched, making Watatsuki Toyohime more inclined towards support roles, and even capable of leading an entire army in a collective leap.

Seeing that Watatsuki Yorihime had escaped with her life from his greatsword, the old man of the mountain did not teleport to chase after her, but instead turned his gaze to the direction from which the arrow had just been shot.

From afar, a tall woman holding a longbow and carrying a basket of arrows, dressed in a red and blue Taoist robe, appeared on the roof of the nearby building in the blink of an eye. Her silver-white braid hanging down her back was raised high and had not yet fallen.

"Yoshihime and Toyohime, you two should step back immediately. This battle is not something that two immature little ones like you can participate in."

Eirin Yagokoro, who had just shot and sent Watatsuki Yorihime flying, shouted at her two students, but her gaze never left the old man of the mountain.

"Such a dense aura of death... Is it from the Grim Reaper of the Underworld? But why would it suddenly appear in the Lunar Capital? We've been at peace for thousands of years."

While Yagokoro Eirin was trying to figure out the origins and background of the Mountain Elder, the Mountain Elder already knew everything from the echoing evening bell.

The moment Yagokoro Eirin met the gaze of the old man of the mountain, she suddenly had the illusion that she was completely seen through.

This set off alarm bells in her mind, causing her fingers to tighten their grip on the bowstring, suppressing her urge to strike first and daring not to make any rash moves.

"The Eightfold Destiny of the Far Eastern mythology? An ancient being that has existed for hundreds of millions of years. Your destiny has not yet come to an end, and you are not the one I intend to slay this time."

Although the old man of the mountain spoke calmly on the surface, he was inwardly extremely shocked that the young and beautiful woman in front of him was so old that her age was measured in hundreds of millions.

He originally thought that his experience of four lifetimes and four reincarnations, totaling several thousand years, was long enough, but compared to the person in front of him, it was really hard to call himself 'Grandpa' again.

The old man of the mountain even sensed a different meaning from the revelation of the evening bell. It seemed that before long, Yagokoro Eirin might completely break free from the cycle of reincarnation and become an immortal being like himself.

But what might happen in the future has nothing to do with the old man of the mountain, and he doesn't want to care about things that are irrelevant to carrying out the mandate of heaven.

Therefore, the old man of the mountain withdrew his gaze and ignored Yagokoro Eirin, following the lingering sound of the evening bell, and once again took the steps that brought death, bringing end to more sinners.

Seeing the old man's actions, Yagokoro Eirin frowned slightly, reached to her waist, and took out the medicine she usually made, preparing to launch an attack.

Before Yagokoro Eirin could draw her bow and shoot an arrow to stop the old man of the mountain, Tsukiyo Mikoto, who had rushed from his secluded training place, appeared in the air and unleashed a powerful attack without saying a word.

(Note: The gender of Tsukiyo no Mikoto is not described in detail in the mythology. In the Japanese mythology version, there are both male and female characters. Here, we will tentatively assume that he is male. Moreover, there is no specific ability setting in Touhou Project, so this work uses a secondary setting.)

As we all know, people experience joy and sorrow, separation and reunion, just as the moon waxes and wanes.

As the moon deity, Tsukiyo-no-Mikoto's abilities are precisely related to these characteristics exhibited by the moon.

A bright moon, like a jade plate, appeared to the left of the Moonlit Venerable. Its silvery moonlight illuminated the entire Moon Capital, creating a dreamlike scene.

The Mountain Elder looked up at the Moonlit Venerable and felt the magical power contained in the moonlight. As the moon's reflection changed from phase to phase, the Mountain Elder's own power was gradually weakened.

At the same time, to the right of the Moonlit Venerable, a new bright moon slowly appeared, following the waxing and waning of the moon.
