Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

But he soon understood what Lu Ye meant.

Several bullets pierced his body.

His body collapsed limply, his bloodshot eyes reflecting the sky above Senpou Temple.

A blue candy fell from his arms.

"Heh, I got a loot item."

Lu Ye picked it up and put it in his pocket.

Gunshots echoed through the valley, startling birds and beasts, and also alarming the other monks.

Lu Ye raised his gun and advanced.

—The massacre began.

Although these monks were martial monks, they ultimately only knew some basic fist techniques.

Lu Ye didn't want to waste too much time here. In front of the merciful Gatling, all these monks were sent by Lu Ye to see Buddha.

suddenly!

—Danger!

Sensing danger, Lu Ye drew his wedge-shaped weapon and swung it sharply to his side!

"Ugh!!"

A short, bloated figure wearing a straw hat and wooden clogs was cleaved in two by a horizontal sword, its body splitting in mid-air.

That's why Lu Ye didn't choose to sneak away to Senpou Temple.

Because of the existence of the Chaotic Wave Clan.

The so-called "Ranpa-shu" are the ninjas of Senpou Temple. Originally, they were responsible for protecting the temple, but in recent years they have become henchmen in the search for immortality, abducting many children from all over Ashina.

However, having mastered the Ba Liu style, Lu Ye's swordsmanship became more agile, the blade flowing like water as he effortlessly dealt with the chaotic waves.

After several waves of attacks, there were no survivors left in the temple's outposts.

Lu Ye quickly cleaned up the battlefield and found many candies on the monks. These candies were quite special; they were made by the monks to fight against the enemies of Buddhism. By biting into the candies and assuming the corresponding Buddhist posture, the protection of non-human spirits would descend upon them.

Spirit possession is an act that the human body cannot withstand, so one must bite the candy and grit one's teeth to endure it.

Originally, this candy was not to be distributed, but researching immortality required a lot of funding, so Senpou Temple expanded the production of the candy and sold it.

While killing and looting items, Lu Ye arrived at the cultivation path of Senpou Temple.

If you want to move forward from here, you have to cross a covered bridge.

As one steps onto the bridge, a warrior clad in armor, carrying a greatsword, slowly emerges. His armor is clearly Western-style, and with each step, the heavy clatter of his armor resounds. Behind him, at the end of the bridge, lie several swords.

"For my son's sake... put down that knife and leave!"

The armored warrior emitted a muffled sound from behind his mask.

"Are you dreaming in broad daylight?"

Lu Ye set the Gatling gun aside; against heavily armored warriors like these, the heavy Gatling gun would only be a burden.

"Hmph! Utterly foolish!"

The armored warrior's iron gauntlets slowly brushed against the blade of the greatsword.

However, Lu Ye was not prepared to start the fight immediately.

He knew this warrior from a foreign land.

He was a good father who traveled across the ocean to Ashina to seek immortality for his seriously ill son, Robert.

To appease the samurai from the south, the monks of Senpou Temple promised that he would grant his son immortality.

However, the monks had one harsh condition: the armored warrior had to achieve the "Thousand Blades" feat, which meant collecting a thousand weapons from anyone who trespassed into Senpou Temple, before they would heal his child.

This is simply an impossible task.

In order to research immortality, Senpou Temple has blocked most of the roads that ordinary people can reach here. Even if a thousand people were to be gathered, his son would have died of illness long ago.

But that's how people are; as long as there's even a glimmer of hope, they'll hold on tight.

"Judging from your attire, you must be from out of town," Lu Ye said. "Are you here seeking immortality?"

“That’s right.” The armored warrior didn’t hide anything. “I came here because I heard that there is immortality in this land.”

“Your son is seriously ill, but instead of seeing a doctor, he comes here seeking immortality… Do you really believe in such a thing?”

“I’ve already seen those monks!” the armored warrior said. “A body that can be cleaved but won’t die is exactly what I’m after. Once I have that… Hmph, since you’re here, go back obediently. Leave your weapons behind before you go.”

Lu Ye fell silent.

So that's how it is. Those cunning monks only showed the outward appearance of immortality, without revealing the side effects to this warrior?

There was no other way but to fight.

Lu Ye wiped the bloodstains off the wedge-shaped pill: "I'm sorry, I can't comply."

"Hmph, then come on, drink up!!"

The armored warrior launched the first attack with great force, completely disregarding defense, because his armor already provided him with the best protection, so he only needed to focus on attacking and destroying his opponent.

A slash came down, but Lu Ye nimbly jumped backward to dodge the attack, leaving a large crack in the bridge floor.

He tried to retaliate a few times, but his wedge-shaped slashes only produced sparks when they struck the armored warrior's heavy armor.

The recoil from the blade made his wrist feel numb. Lu Ye thought to himself that it was fortunate that this was a Kusabi Maru; if it were an ordinary sword, it would probably have chipped.

However, there is a way to solve it.

Every advantage has its disadvantage. While the silver heavy armor gave this barbarian warrior extremely high defense, making him impervious to swords and spears, it also greatly reduced his agility.

More importantly, what kind of strength does it take to wield a greatsword that is even longer than a nodachi while wearing this heavy armor?

To deal with this armored warrior, all you need to do is exchange a few rounds of swordplay with him, and he will naturally get tired.

"Ding!"

The melodious clanging of metal echoed across the bridge. After several rounds of fighting, the armored warrior finally collapsed, kneeling on one knee with his sword at the end of his legs.

Lu Ye seized the opportunity and rushed over.

The samurai made a final struggle, kneeling on the ground and swinging his greatsword horizontally.

But Lu Ye leaped lightly, dodging the sharp blade, and slammed his legs into the samurai's head.

The next moment, the heavily armored warrior fell from the bridge.

"—Robert!!"

Chapter 146 Immortal Blade

The armored warrior landed, but not completely.

At the last moment, Lu Ye grabbed his hand and pulled the samurai up.

"Why... did you save me?" the big man asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just think you're so stupid to have been fooled by those monks, so stupid it's laughable. If you're going to die, why don't you find out the truth before you die?"

"the truth?"

Why do you pursue immortality?

"To save lives..."

"Where is the person you were trying to save? Will you ever see him again?"

"...At first, the monks wouldn't let me go, but with my insistence, I was allowed to see him once every seven days, with the monks bringing him over. But recently they said they would start the experiment in a few days, so I won't be able to see him anymore."

"Oh, I see. Then there should still be enough time."

Lu Ye told him about the parasites and the experiment.

"Impossible!" the samurai exclaimed excitedly.

"Have you ever been up the mountain?" Lu Ye knew he had achieved his goal. "Seeing is believing, why don't you go take a look?"

“You need to understand that my goal is to get through here. What happens to you is none of my business. I just feel sorry for you being deceived like this,” Lu Ye said. “Fine, you can’t beat me anyway. If you want to stop me, we’ll fight again, but this time I won’t hold back.”

Lu Ye picked up her things and walked to the other side of the bridge.

The samurai watched his retreating figure, hesitated for a long time, and finally followed him.

He knew perfectly well that the Thousand Blades mission was incredibly difficult, but he still had no choice but to undertake it. But if what the intruder said was true, and those monks were using him as a puppet for experiments…

No, we must confirm this!!

If it's true, we'll do anything to get Robert back!

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief and turned around: "Since you're coming along, it means you're prepared to be enemies with those monks, right?"

"It doesn't matter, my son's life is more important. If what you say is true, then I will surely slaughter the entire Senpou Temple!!"

Lu Ye smiled slightly.

While there was some compassion involved in sparing the samurai's life, the more important reason was that Robert could help draw fire.

The enemies ahead were not only the monks patrolling the perimeter, but also Taro soldiers and straw-cloaked warrior monks. Those warrior monks were fast and agile, and bullets could not easily deal with them.

……

"Ugh!"

Another member of the chaotic group screamed as he fell off the cliff.

On the training path below Senpou Temple, Lu Ye and the samurai were gradually approaching the mountain peak.

Using the samurai's thick armor as a shield, Lu Ye moved continuously with the grappling hook, wielding his sword and firing his gun, advancing triumphantly all the way to the main courtyard of Senpou Temple, where the monks conducted their research.

"Ahhh... Don't you want to save your child?" The monk stared at the warrior's rock-solid figure, who was still desperately leaning against the house behind him before he died.

"I'll say it again, I want to see my child."

"Hehehe, I should have brought that child first..."

Before he could finish speaking, the samurai swiftly beheaded the monk.
