I am Jinshan Youxia

"Silence!" With the samurai's shout, the noisy execution ground quieted down, the crowd parted, and two red-lacquered palanquins, commonly used by Japanese nobles, were slowly brought closer to the platform by servants.

The cage in front stopped first, and then a middle-aged man with a sinister appearance stepped out, wearing hunting clothes and carrying a samurai sword at his waist.

Zhang Chengyi followed the gaze of the large cow and realized that the middle-aged man with a scheming look on his face was indeed the city lord.

As expected of the world of comics, it's really easy to distinguish between good and bad people to a certain extent.

The person sitting on the other cage also got off. He was a handsome samurai with a monkey perched on his shoulder. Notably, he wore the Takeda family crest at his waist.

The lord of the castle was indeed preparing to completely side with Takeda, abandoning this barren and isolated base, and killing the cow monster as a pledge of allegiance to Oda.

After all, they had already surrendered to Takeda. Once the Hojo clan regained control, they would be targeted again. It was better to put themselves in a do-or-die situation.

Thinking about it this way, the city lord really has some guts, but it is clear that he has not considered that in a world with monsters, there are naturally other strange things that would sympathize with them.

Zhang Chengyi patted the big cow's cheek and said, "Look how angry this guy is. How about I take him down for you for free?"

From a purely human perspective, killing a monster is by no means wrong; there are far too many blood debts between humans and monsters.

As a master of manipulation, he sometimes doesn't care about right or wrong; living happily is more important to him.

"Please." The big cow looked over with pleading eyes.

It doesn't want anyone to interfere in the matters between its 'son' and itself.

Zhang Chengyi, with an expression reminiscent of Inuyasha's "unjustified yet arrogant" demeanor, said, "Do you think you can make that decision yourself?"

The big cow thought for a moment with difficulty and said, "If you are willing not to interfere, I am willing to become your shikigami."

Becoming a field mouse's shikigami sounds strange, but given the spiritual power this field mouse displayed last night, turning it into a shikigami should be a very easy thing.

"Hmm," Zhang Chengyi thought for a moment, then decisively refused, "No."

Having multiple shikigami is great, but it's no fun if you don't intervene.

While the cow and the field mouse were talking, the lord had already finished his tearful performance on the stage, and the somewhat silly-looking samurai from the Takeda clan next to him was filled with emotion and hatred for the monsters.

With the execution imminent, Zhang Chengyi was also prepared to make his move.

The large cow sighed silently and swallowed the Shikon Jewel fragment it had been holding in its mouth. It hadn't initially intended to rely on such a thing, but now it seemed it had no choice but to use it.

Under the influence of the Shikon Jewel, its demonic power began to surge, and it was ready to intercept the field mouse on its body and protect its 'son' at any moment.

"Mother."

The city lord drew his sword and walked step by step toward the execution platform. Tears and snot streamed down his face, his face was contorted, and his voice was choked with sobs. He looked like he was in utter grief.

"and many more!"

At this critical moment, a young man dressed as a monk jumped down from the height with the monk Mengxin and stood in front of the giant cow, saying, "Lord City Lord, please give us a chance. We can save the innocent."

"How dare you!"

"Go away!"

Several samurai jumped out to protect the lord, and even the samurai from the Takeda family gripped the hilt of his sword.

"Lord City Lord, could you please give us some time?"

Monk Mengxin clasped his hands together and bowed deeply; the adoptive father and son had already shown enough respect to the city lord on the other side.

There was nothing they could do; the city lord was their enemy. Even if they possessed magical powers, they couldn't withstand the army's advance, especially since they also had such a large monster to protect.

If Inuyasha were here right now, that would be great.

Maitreya, who was standing nearby, was thinking to himself when he suddenly heard a voice:

"Hey, Maitreya, what are you doing here?"

The half-demon Inuyasha, who had been searching for the rat in the city for four or five hours but couldn't find it, squatted on the high platform and shouted loudly.

Chapter 173 Appears One After Another

"monster!"

The crowd was noisy, and onlookers fled in droves. The samurai gang, who were maintaining order, rushed into the execution ground and surrounded the lord. The archer, who was in a high position, lightly nocked an arrow, drew the bowstring, and locked onto the suddenly appearing monster.

"Inuyasha!" x2

The Takeda samurai on the high platform and Miroku in front of the giant cow shouted out the name of the half-demon together, and the two looked at each other.

“Mile, and…”

As Inuyasha pondered, a samurai from the Takeda clan jumped down from the platform, scratched the back of his head, and laughed heartily, "I am Nobunaga."

"Oh, Hiyoshimaru, that fool Nobunaga from the Takeda clan."

Inuyasha first greeted the monkey on the shoulder of the Takeda samurai, and then said...

That guy had twice walked right up to the edge of a cliff in front of him, which left a deep impression on him.

Seeing that things were getting out of control, the lord remained calm and asked in a steady voice, "Lord Amari Nobunaga, do you know this monster?"

Nobunaga Amari nodded and said, "Ahaha, he is the half-demon Inuyasha who I mentioned before, who helped me save Princess Ruki."

Inuyasha had no interest in dealing with humans and asked, "Miroku, what brings you here? Did you discover the Shikon Jewel?"

"Lord City Lord, please give us a little more time to expel the possessing cow demon," Monk Mengxin said, seizing the opportunity to bow again.

Possession?

Amari Nobunaga was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "Lord Castle Lord, didn't you tell me that this is the monster that killed your mother?"

All eyes were on the city lord.

At this point, the lord was in an awkward position. The retainers of the Takeda clan, who were just there for a visit, began to question him: should this monster be killed or not?

A political figure like him would often think more deeply. Did Amari Nobunaga's words mean that the Takeda clan had no interest in him?

Countless chaotic thoughts flooded his mind, and he felt his temples throbbing, his violent emotions surging.

"Boom!" An explosion drew everyone's attention.

"Monster! Monster!"

"Ahhh!"

Thick smoke billowed from the city wall not far away; explosions, collapses, and shouts filled the air.

"Go and see what's going on!" The city lord took a deep breath and gave the order.

Some of the warriors broke off and ran toward the smoke-filled city walls.

“Demon energy.” Inuyasha sniffed the air and gripped the Tessaiga.

It is a very powerful demonic aura.

"Boom!"

The samurai who had just run past flew back like a cannonball, and the tall figure in the smoke slowly revealed his true face, with a dark red tengu mask with a long nose that was extremely eye-catching.

"It's him?" Monk Mengxin was somewhat surprised. A dead man had reappeared, and he was carrying such a strong demonic aura.

"Where is the golden rat to be delivered?"

Tenguyama Fu's deep, hoarse voice rang out.

The lord slashed downwards with his palm, and the samurai rushed towards the enemy in a crisscross pattern, their sharp katana flashing coldly.

"Crack!"

Tenguyama Fushi casually snatched a samurai sword, easily delivering all the attacks and sending the blade into the samurai's throats, heads falling like rain.

The city lord looked horrified and retreated repeatedly under the protection of his retainers.

Tenguyama Fushi didn't seem to be going to stop. With a stomp of his foot, he charged towards the city lord with a whooshing sound.

Nobunaga Amari drew his sword and charged forward.

"Clang!" The knife in his hand was knocked away and flew out of his hand, just as the blade was about to cut off his head.

"when!"

Inuyasha took the blow with his Tessaiga raised, then shoved Amari Nobunaga aside with his other hand, shouting, "Idiot, get out of here!"

Amari Nobunaga was stunned for a moment, then scrambled away.

"Huh?" Tenguyama Fushi watched as the samurai sword he had snatched cracked and broke in two, making an intrigued sound: "Not bad, but unfortunately, you haven't been able to unleash its full power yet..."

"Half-demon".

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Inuyasha bared his teeth, his expression seemingly relaxed, but inwardly he was astonished by the guy's immense strength.

Even though it was all done with one hand, he almost dropped it. If his opponent's knife hadn't been so bad, he would have lost that blow.

Tenguyama Fushi didn't look for any other weapons. He gripped the broken sword and slashed down again, without any skill involved—it was simply a pure, brute-force attack.

"Inuyasha, watch out! Don't take the hit head-on!"

Maitreya shouted loudly.

The legendary Tengu is a yokai known for its superhuman strength. Yamabushi, who pursue the Tengu, are also considered to have superhuman strength. And when they become yokai, their pure strength definitely surpasses that of most yokai.

Inuyasha had initially intended to stall, but upon hearing Miroku's words, his stubbornness kicked in, and he decided to take the attack. Considering the opponent's truly astonishing strength, he wasn't so stubborn as to fight one-on-one, but instead gripped his sword with both hands and slashed upwards.

"when!"

"Crack!" The broken sword shattered with a sound.

Inuyasha was propelled more than ten meters by the powerful force, his feet carving a furrow in the ground before finally stopping against the wall.

Before the broken hilt even hit the ground, Tenguyama Fushi had already vanished from the spot.

Seeing that the warriors blocking the city lord's way were no different from paper barriers, and were being killed one by one, Maitreya instinctively tried to release the wind cave, but was stopped by the monk Mengxin.

The most intense buzzing in the sky seemed to have been in place for a long time.

"Moo!"

The seemingly dying cow suddenly charged forward, sending the unstoppable Tenguyama Fushi flying. It crashed through several walls before finally coming to a stop.

The big cow did not relax; instead, it looked at the ruins with a serious and solemn expression.

"Where did that field mouse go...?" it wondered to itself.

"Interesting, you're still distracted while fighting me?" Tenguyamabushi's voice seemed to be right next to my ear—
