The slash pierced the broken monk's kidney. Using the hilt of the slash as a fulcrum, Lu Ye flipped over and rose into the air, stepping on the broken monk's head.

Then, his right hand touched the hilt of the Mortal Blade.

Charge up your strength, then draw your sword.

The perfect Iai Slash formed an excellent cross in the air.

Ultimate Technique: Ashina Cross Slash.

The first strike, from left to right, severed the naginata in the hands of the disobedient monk.

The second strike followed immediately, coming down from above and severing the head of the renunciant monk.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The broken monk let out a miserable scream, which came through the Prajna mask.

His body, severed by the Mortal Blade, could never heal and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Meanwhile, the parasites that had been living inside her burst out of her broken body. Sensing the miasma on the Blade of Tears, they instinctively tried to escape.

But how could Lu Ye allow it to escape?

Grab its tail with your bare hands, then pierce it with the Mortal Blade.

At this point, the battle is over.

[Acquired: Memory of the battle with the Corrupted Monk]

[Note: The battle against the immortal monk is extremely dangerous. If you can defeat him, it proves that your fighting skills are close to the peak.]

After pulling the Kusabimaru out of the Corrupted Monk's body and picking up the Gatling gun, Lu Ye used Battle Memory at the Sculptor's Idol.

Name: Lu Ye

[Lv19—Lv22]

【Ashina Style: Lv8】

Lu Ye glanced at the two-meter-long parasite on the ground, clicked his tongue, and walked forward.

The Fountainhead Palace is located in front of the main gate, but it is situated at a high elevation and there is no direct path to the palace. However, one can still see most of the palace from there.

The buildings at Fountainhead Palace were constructed during the Heian period and are mostly painted in red and white. The palace is surrounded by small hills covered with cherry blossoms that bloom eternally, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The center of Fountainhead Palace has long been submerged, with many buildings sinking underwater. Lotus flowers grow on the wide and clear water, while the outer walls have been completely destroyed. Water from the palace flows out from the breach and plunges into the mountain stream, forming a spectacular waterfall tens of meters wide.

And this is the origin of the source water flowing to the downstream land.

Chapter 153 Slaying the Sakura Dragon

There was no decent road ahead.

Using the grappling hook, Lu Ye arrived at Fountainhead Palace, also known as the Immortal Realm.

Not a single patch of the land beneath our feet is dry; the source of the water flows quietly through it.

—The source of water.

Drinking this water will grant you immortality.

Dao Shun's long-held pursuit of refining the essence of "Transforming Water" to its ultimate form is entirely present here. It's like a poor person working tirelessly to save up for a gold bar, unaware that a gold mine lies buried atop the mountain where they live.

After taking the Moon Concealing Candy, Lu Ye sneaked into the palace.

The Sakura Dragon is located in the divine realm atop the mountain above the Imperial Palace, but the flood destroyed the Fountainhead Palace, causing the entire central area to be submerged, making it impossible to swim there directly.

The female warriors of the Yuga tribe have excellent eyesight; if they did not rely on buildings to conceal their figures, they would be discovered instantly.

Lu Ye used the ninja techniques taught to him by the wolf to move through the palace, his steps almost silent.

At the corner ahead, a nobleman dressed in blue official robes walked by.

Lu Ye ducked and charged forward, his Mortal Blade instantly piercing the nobleman's kidney!

After the critical hit was triggered, Nobleman couldn't even make a sound, and his life force was instantly taken over by the Mortal Blade.

"How disgusting!"

Lu Ye wiped the sticky blood off his face.

Due to long-term consumption of the source water, the nobles' bodies have mutated. Their bodies have turned a crystal blue, they have grown four arms, their legs have degenerated into fins, and their faces have become half-fish, with bright white eyes and several fish whiskers, making them extremely ugly.

Thanks to the power of the Sakura Dragon, all the creatures affected underwent some kind of mutation.

For example, the immortal centipede.

For example, the King Fish.

To some extent, they all became part of the Sakura Dragon's bloodline.

A carp can transform into a dragon with a single leap.

Those nobles who survived by absorbing the essence of carp also began to transform into fish.

The nobles have almost no direct combat ability; they are mostly doing their own thing.

They might play chess or play the flute.

They have plenty of time to do what they want.

But all this time was gained by taking the lives of others.

In Leiden, it was the first time in Lu Ye's life that he killed someone.

He killed with a clear conscience.

—If you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed yourself.

This was not only a reminder to the invaders, but also a reminder to Lu Ye for himself.

Therefore, he always understood why he killed.

Rooms, hallways, living rooms...

As Lu Ye traveled, the number of noble corpses increased one by one.

Lu Ye showed no mercy to these nobles who exploited others' lives for their own immortality. With a swift and decisive strike of his Immortal Blade, he unleashed a silent massacre within the vast house.

In less than five minutes, Lu Ye had finished cleaning the inside of the house.

Only one left...

Behind the antique screen in front, candlelight flickered.

An old woman carrying an oil lamp came out. Unlike the nobles, she still had a human appearance, but she was very old, and a red ribbon was tied around her waist.

"Hello, young man..."

Lu Ye put down the knife.

"Hello……"

"I never expected that anyone would actually come here..."

The old woman's eyesight didn't seem very good, but she still squinted and looked around to make sure no one was there before speaking to Lu Ye.

"Be careful, the Fish King can no longer satisfy the nobles in the palace. They crave youthful vitality, and they are all going to lose control."

Especially ahead... the central courtyard is the gate to hell, where nobles from the palace gather in droves, protected by long-necked warriors, and archers on the rooftops observe the surroundings. If you want to move forward, please go around from the outside... those female warriors are extremely skilled; you must not get surrounded."

"...I understand, thank you for the advice, but you didn't drink the Source Water. I see you are different from those nobles."

"Ah... I don't drink this water like my father does. I only drink it when I'm thirsty... Although this water can grant immortality, it can also cause mutations. Please don't drink it."

The old woman glanced at the knife in Lu Ye's hand.

"Young man... there's something I'd like to ask you."

"what?"

"When my father became a nobleman, he was lured by carp. He has been feeding carp for a very long time... Is that the legendary Mortal Blade?"

The old woman said, "Once, a female warrior returned after descending to the immortal realm, taking away the dragon's tears with a black Mortal Blade. If it is that... please help my father break the curse of the carp. That form of eternity... is not what my father desires."

"I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee it will work."

Lu Ye roughly knew who the female warrior the old woman was talking about was.

Ba, the previous generation's follower of the Dragon's Blood.

"Thank you... By the way, my sister is in the palace across the street. She knows more than I do. If you run into trouble, you can go to her."

"Thank you for the advice."

After learning about the situation ahead, Lu Ye immediately set off.

The central courtyard was also filled with water, and many nobles gathered there, playing musical instruments, with beautiful female warriors guarding them.

Lu Ye disappeared silently, then swung the hook and leaped onto the house.

Sure enough, there were Yukami archers on the rooftop.

After eating another Moon Concealment Candy, Lu Ye gritted his teeth and endured the pain of the spirit summoning, then quietly came behind the archer.

With his left hand, he suddenly grabbed the female warrior's long, snake-like neck, and the Mortal Blade silently slit her throat. Blood splattered onto the cherry blossom petals on the roof, staining them crimson.

—Ninja Kill!

Female archers stood at each of the four corners of the rooftop, clad in armor from Japan's Heian period. Because there had been no intruders for a long time, their defenses were lax; they held bows and arrows, gazing at the swirling clouds atop the mountain.

After clearing out the archers on the roof, Lu Ye jumped down.

The Mortal Blade swung towards the heads of the nobles and the beautiful female samurai.

Large amounts of blood were splashed in the air, forming a thick blood mist.

Ok

In the game, this move is called Blood Smoke.

Before anyone else could react, Lu Ye swung his blade again.

Screams rang out one after another, and Lu Ye's entire body was soaked in blood.

In less than half a minute, more than thirty corpses appeared on the ground. Most of them were incomplete, some were headless, and some were cut in half at the waist, with their upper and lower bodies separated. Thick blood stained the water in the courtyard red.
