Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

"I'm going to kill you all!!"

The mountain man roared and plunged another knife into his own chest.

Next, he forcefully cut open his own chest, allowing Hanbei's blade to pass through from the right side!

The freed mountain man roared and turned to slash, trying to escape from here.

Although Hanbei had been stabbed in the neck, he held the knife tightly to the mountain man's neck, causing blood to gush out!

The two sides were struggling, one trying to escape, while the other desperately tried to keep it.

"Why...why go to such lengths for us?" the villagers murmured.

They were all stunned; the scene was beyond description, far beyond what could be called a mere battle.

This is a battle between the undead, and no one can stop it.

"We...we should run quickly, so as not to let Mr. Hanbei down..."

“No, there’s no need to run. Even if we run today, we won’t be able to kill the mountain man, and people in the village will continue to disappear,” Lu Ye said.

"What should we do? This isn't a battle we can get involved in! We're not immortal; one strike is enough to kill us!" Some villagers couldn't take it anymore. The people who had been missing for so long had actually been eaten by mountain spirits...

“It’s alright. Knives and guns can’t do anything to the undead, but this should be able to,” Lu Ye said.

"It?" Just as Masakichi was about to ask what was going on, he suddenly felt a slight tremor in the ground.

"Gurgle...woo..."

Those were the sounds of apes.

One, two, ten...

Numerous monkeys emerged from the forest.

Then, the dense forest was parted, and a white giant ape came into view, letting out a deafening roar.

It was pure white, sacred and majestic under the bright moonlight, but a huge katana was stuck diagonally on its neck.

—"Roara ...

The extremely powerful roar seemed to tear people's eardrums apart.

Even more remarkably, everyone present felt a surge of fear upon hearing that roar.

The mountain man was so shocked that he was unable to move.

"Ah...ah..."

Beneath the ape skin, a pair of red eyes stared blankly at the giant ape.

The giant ape locked onto the mountain man with just one glance.

It stretched out its giant arm and captured the mountain man.

“Ah…ah…” the mountain man said, “You finally found it.”

The mountain man's body, which was originally entangled with Hanbei, was easily pulled out as if it were clay.

Both of their bodies were supported by each other's swords, but now that support was gone, Hanbei also fell to the ground.

The blood-stained blade in his hand reflected the scene in the moonlight and firelight.

—The pitiful scene of a mountain man being slowly fed into the mouth of a giant ape.

The villagers present were shocked.

In the end, this is how the mountain man met his tragic end.

He ate monkeys his whole life, but in the end, he was eaten by apes.

The giant ape's teeth gradually closed, and everyone heard the crunching sound of the skull being chewed.

“People return to the village, monkeys return to the mountains, but those who are neither have nowhere to go,” Lu Ye said softly.

Hanbei looked at the scene and closed his eyes.

Have you gone back? I truly envy you.

Chapter 114 The Physician's Way

Inside the dark dungeon.

A candle burned on a stone slab covered with thick moss.

A man dressed in a white robe and hat, with a face mask, looking like a doctor, was standing there, writing something.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind me.

The man didn't even turn his head: "Oh, Lord Gao Feng, you've graced us with your presence. You must be here to inspect the situation, right?"

"How is the research going?" the old man in the Taoist robe asked.

"This water of transformation flows from an unknown place in Ashina, and when the thick water of transformation settles, it becomes this 'Land of Transformation.' Those who ingest it will gain the strength of a wild beast and a body that will not easily die even if they are hacked to pieces..."

The man looked at the dazed figure with red eyes inside the wooden cage against the stone wall, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

"This is the 'Red Eye'. If we can create such things at will, then the Imperial Household Department will be nothing to fear."

“But aren’t all the animals in this cage failures?” Gao Feng frowned. “They’re like mindless walking corpses.”

"Yes, those who swallow the 'Transformation Elixir' either go mad or become completely numb. The effect on that guy called the Mountain Man was quite remarkable; he even retained a certain degree of consciousness after consuming the Transformation Elixir. It's just a pity that he escaped, and we haven't been able to catch him after all this time. And this time, your beloved son was even injured by the Ronin..."

"Enough!" Gao Feng said in a deep voice, "Stop repeating the same old things over and over, I'm tired of hearing it!"

“Now I’m getting to the point,” the man said. “My teacher once said that there was a special kind of insect that developed an adaptation after absorbing the precipitate of the worm. If an animal devours that insect and then becomes parasitized for various reasons, it will become a ‘parasite-possessed’ animal.”

"Insect-possessed beings?" Gao Feng asked. "What are those? Are they also forms of immortality?"

“That’s right. Red-eyed people and worm-possessed people are different in form, but they are from the same source.” The man said, “Red-eyed people are very powerful, but they will die after their bodies are destroyed to a certain extent. Worm-possessed people do not have great power, but no matter how much their bodies are destroyed, the worms inside their bodies can completely repair them, which can be said to be infinitely close to immortality.”

The man paused, then chuckled and asked, "What do you intend to do with that ronin mentioned in the report, Lord Gao Feng?"

"Hmph! Since research on red-eyes is making little progress, are you turning to parasites?" Gao Feng said.

“Indeed, that ronin is excellent research material, and... he has two foreigners with considerable strength by his side, who are also excellent experimental subjects.”

"What, those two also possess the power of immortality?"

"No, I just want to make a comparison to see if there are any differences in the physiques of our own people and foreigners. If the foreigners' bodies are more adapted to the transformation into water, I think we can hire a large number of Nanman soldiers."

"Hmph, do whatever you want with me. But let me make this clear from the start: I will bear the brunt of that immortality!"

"Of course, researching the 'Rejuvenating Water' is Lord Genichiro's wish, all for the sake of Ashina. But how will you bring that ronin here?"

“I have already sent a messenger to the village. After all, I must properly thank the benefactor who helped me govern the village,” the old man said, raising his eyes. “What do you say, Lord Daoshun?”

"That's good then." The man named Daoshun nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, what about Hu Dao? How is my son?" Gao Feng asked.

"The injury is serious. Please follow me this way."

The two were walking on the stone steps when Gao Feng suddenly fell.

"Oh dear, we should install handrails on both sides," Dao Shun said.

"Hmph! Don't treat me like a decrepit old man!"

Gao Feng stood up, leaning against the wall, but his left hand remained hanging slightly downwards.

"How could I dare? You are a hero in the war of usurping the country, which is why I am worried about you. If the research on 'immortality' makes progress, it may even be able to heal your arm. At that time, the Spear of Ashina will become eight."

"I wasn't included in the Seven Spears of Ashina simply because he dislikes me." A sinister glint flashed across Gao Feng's face. "Fine, as long as I hand over that unkillable insect-possessed creature to you, is that enough?"

"Yes, we've arrived."

It was a dimly lit room, and a young man was lying unconscious on a straw mat.

"My son... Tiger's Path!"

"His chest and abdomen were slashed, and he probably doesn't have much time left."

"Daoshun, aren't you a doctor?"

"Doctors cannot save the dead; your son is merely clinging to life."

"Is there any other way...?"

"Don't you know, Lord Gao Feng, that your son won't live long enough for me to finish researching the parasites? There's only one way for him to survive, so... why don't you give it a try?" Dao Shun's voice was like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

……

Riverbank.

Violet continues to put in consistent effort when it comes to catching shrimp.

Meanwhile, Lu Ye was practicing swordsmanship with Hanbei.

Although Hanbei suffered a rather serious injury, he recovered in just one day.

The samurai were punished, and the matter of his disappearance was resolved.

The villagers were very grateful to Lu Ye and Hanbei.

"clang!"

The blade was deflected, and the tip of the knife touched just before Lu Ye's neck.

"You should not only pay attention to the enemy's hand movements, but also to changes in position. You were so focused on my hand movements that you didn't realize I had already taken the high ground, did you?" Hanbei said. "You are not immortal. Your life is precious and you only have one. When you need to protect something more important than your life... you must stop at nothing."

"I've learned something," Lu Ye said. "Starting over?"

The moment Hanbei nodded—

Lu Ye's foot suddenly kicked up the wet sand from the riverbank, obscuring Hanbei's view.

"They'll stop at nothing to win, I like that."

Seeing Hanbei troubled by the gravel, Lu Ye felt a sense of joy.

Actually, when he first started practicing swordsmanship with Hanbei, he was already thinking about using some tricks, but he always kept to himself because of the swordsmanship training, until Hanbei said these words today.

"Ah, actually, this principle was taught to me by my former enemy," Hanbei said, rubbing his eyes. "That person was named Isshin Ashina."

"Isshin Ashina?"
