Just now, if Dong Wenyu had any means of attack that could burst out instantly, then Uesugi Kiyoshi might not be able to rescue her in time, and Miss Dong Wen would have died on the spot.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at the white jade statue and his expression changed. He realized that since Touwen Maki stepped into this courtyard, the mirage lingering around the statue of Shuten Doji had become increasingly thicker, and he could hardly see the statue's face clearly.

It seems that the target of this demon king is indeed Maki Toufumi, who possesses the demon sword princess's demon soul.

That would be interesting

Although Touwen Maki's sword was blocked, she did not give up her attack easily. Her swordsmanship skills were not low. When they first met, her beautiful cutting skills caught Uesugi Kiyoshi's eye, which showed a very good level of swordsmanship.

Before the strike was successful, she immediately changed the momentum of the knife, spun her hand, changed from a reverse grip to a forward grip, tilted her body at a steep angle, and the knife light drew an arc, using a move called "Flying Swallow Slash".

Dong Wenyu's reaction was a little slow, but his "ability" took effect very quickly - a green light exactly the same as before wrapped around the Niblade ship, causing its offensive to come to a halt.

Maki Touwen put away her sword again, the hem of her kimono fluttering in the wind, but the expression on her face was unusually ferocious.

She seemed to have made up her mind. She took a few steps back, turned her back to Uesugi Kiyoshi, and gripped the boat with such force that her knuckles turned white.

"gentlemen."

"Please let me be willful for the last time. Can you hand this person over to me?"

"Dong Wenyu is absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely unforgivable!"

There was a crazy light flashing in her blood-red pupils. The eldest daughter of the Dongwen family showed a side that was completely different from her usual dignified and elegant appearance.

For some reason, Uesugi Kiyoshi remembered the crazy girl wielding a demon sword in the One Hundred Demons Scroll.

It is 30% similar in appearance, but 70% similar in spirit.

"."

"Sir, if I die here, it will be my own fault. I have already told Guishan that if you win this battle, he will respect you as the new president of the Dongwen Association and assist you in taking over all matters of the Dongwen Association."

"I won't let you help me for nothing."

"so."

"Please let me chop off his head with my own hands!!"

The girl's body trembled slightly. The flame of revenge was burning in her slender body, driving her to wield the sword.

Looking at the somewhat stubborn back, Uesugi Kiyoshi soon felt relieved.

People are different, but if you put yourself in his shoes, he might not be more rational than Maki Toufumi.

She takes money from others and helps them get rid of their troubles. Although this young lady is a little naive, she is really good to herself. Even at the last moment, she is still thinking about not working in vain.

If someone gives you a peach, you should give him a plum in return.

"Go."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's words were powerful.

"I understand your feelings and respect your decision. So, go ahead."

"Don't worry, you won't die before me, I promise."

Dong Wen Maki's body shook violently, and then gradually calmed down.

She looked up suddenly, and her pupils had turned a dazzling crimson, like cherry blossoms struggling to bloom before withering.

“Change always involves bloodshed.”

"Father, I am an unfilial daughter. I am going to draw my sword!"

"Dragon soaring in the sky, soul of the reformer, please connect with me!"

"Eight strategies in the boat, start!"

The sword in the ship contains the heroic spirit of the "reformer" Ryoma Sakamoto.

The reformist during the Meiji Restoration, the hero who started the movement to overthrow the shogunate.

After Sakamoto Ryoma proposed the "Restoration of Imperial Rule", the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate formally ended.

As it happens, Touwen Maki, who carries his heroic spirit, faces off against Touwen Yu, who has a close relationship with the god of the Toshogu Tokugawa Shogunate.

I don’t know whether this is a coincidence or an inevitability calculated by someone.

In the past, Maki Touwen did not have a high degree of compatibility with this mirror of inheritance, so she never became a true connector.

And now, under the catalysis of intense emotions, the girl's awareness turned into the key to unlock the door, and the door to Sakamoto Ryoma's soul opened to her.

Power emerged continuously.

A dazzling light like fireworks suddenly burst out from the Reverse Blade Ship, and countless light spots were like young swallows returning to their nests, and all the tiny dots of light were gathered into the body of Touwen Maki.

The next second, the eldest lady of the Dongwen Society opened her eyes wide, holding a sharp blade upside down, and flew forward like a stream of light.

Dong Wenyu only felt a flash before his eyes, and a cold reverse blade was hooked back from behind him, trying to cut off his head.

His expression changed drastically and he shouted angrily. The emerald green light appeared again, but was shattered by the secret technique "Wind Return" inherited from the Hero's Soul.

Dong Wenyu dodged to the side in shock and anger, staggering. Although he avoided the fatal blow, a deep wound that could be seen to the bone was left on his shoulder.

Blood gushed out like water, and Dong Wenyu's face turned pale.

The situation did not seem to be anything to worry about.

Through Dong Wenyu's actions just now, Uesugi Kiyoshi could tell at a glance that this Dong Wen Wolf's physical skills were extremely poor and he couldn't fight at all.

I don’t know if he is hiding his incompetence or if it is really like this.

At this moment, he could only use clumsy movements to drive the green light of unknown origin to parry the strange reverse-blade sword of Maki Toufumi who had awakened the heroic spirit of the linker.

The battle situation was precarious. If he was not careful, he would be beheaded by his own niece.

Soon, a scream was heard, and one of Dong Wenyu's arms had been chopped off. He fell to the ground with a scream, covered in blood. His blood merged with the blood on the ground, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other.

Uesugi Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief, stroking the hilt of the sword with his fingers, stepped over the pool of blood that had gathered into a stream on the ground, and walked to the jade statue.

His eyes met the somewhat disdainful gaze of the Shuten-doji statue.

Thinking of the innocent souls who died tragically behind him, a wave of anger could not be suppressed and rose on his face.

"The Lord of the Great Country?"

"Heh, was Yokotano bewitched by you? Are the mystics who hunted down Maki also your minions? Was the blood sacrifice here also your doing?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed to be talking to himself, but he was certain that the Ghost King could hear what he said.

"I'll take that as your consent."

"Then there are grievances to be settled between us."

"."

"Come out, let's make a bet?"

Chapter 130 Double Rashomon

What to bet on?

Life.

The winners stand and the losers fall down. It is clear and obvious.

After Uesugi Kiyoshi said this, he clearly felt a faint malice oozing out from the face of the jade statue, as if responding to his provocation.

But. Apart from that, there are no other changes.

Is the Ghost King of Oeyama such a good-tempered ghost?

surely not.

Then, he must have other intentions!

Uesugi Kiyoshi immediately looked around vigilantly, paying attention to the movements around him, but although this courtyard was quite spacious, it was too small to hide any ambush.

The most common things in this yard are blood and corpses.

Wait, a dead body?

Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed to suddenly think of something, his expression changed, he turned his head abruptly, and his eyes became serious.

At this moment, a fierce light was flashing in Dong Wen Maki's scarlet eyes. She held a reverse-blade knife in her hand, wanting to kill Dong Wenyu who had collapsed in the corner.

The excitement of revenge and the relief of taking back the Dongwen Society, coupled with the sadness that came with thinking of her father's death, made her feel mixed emotions.

Her attention was all on Dong Wenyu.

Just one cut and it'll be over!

She was so focused that she naturally didn't notice that the fingers of the corpse lying on the ground behind her were trembling slightly.

It was a woman in a kimono, lying on the ground, her face could not be seen clearly, but judging from her clothes, she looked like a maid from the Dongwen Society. Dongwen had seen many maids like this, so he didn't take the corpse too seriously.

And it was this corpse that suddenly attacked!

She jumped up from the ground with an extremely strange movement, as if she had no bones, twisting her body like a crawling snake, and pounced on Touwen Maki's back from behind.

That dry and pale arm, like a soul-locking hand reaching out from hell, pinched Touwen Maki's neck.

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt the mirage on the jade statue behind him become restless, as if mocking him. Then, the mirage separated from the statue and turned into a thick mist, which shot towards Touwen Maki like a ghost at lightning speed.

A ghost hand and a mirage.

The attacks on both sides were dangerous and fatal.

Uesugi Kiyoshi could only block one side.

He didn't have time to think about it. He gritted his teeth, moved his arm as he thought, and the bright knife light instantly appeared in front of the mirage.

This thing that came apart from the Shuten-doji statue must be a big trouble!

The sword collided with the mirage, but made a dull sound of metal colliding with stone. It was like Uesugi Kiyoshi drawing his sword and chopping a piece of stone. The sword could not advance an inch.

The mirage also staggered back for a distance, but it refused to admit defeat and regrouped, heading straight for Touwen Maki without slowing down.

He had no intention of paying any attention to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

On the other side, just as the ghost hand was about to touch Maki Toufumi's cherry-colored furisode, a lazy sigh sounded.

A pitch-black jade cane came out from the side and easily blocked the dry arm that was glowing with the light of bones.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke had already stood in front of the maid who suddenly attacked him without him noticing, with a sarcastic smile on his face that seemed to ask for a beating.
