Mirage surged into his body like a mountain and sea, and then rushed into the self-portrait on the mural behind him.

The ghostly fires that were originally individual were immediately melted together by the mirage, like a ball of squeezed plasticine, and finally turned into scattered starlight, all sinking into the body of Uesugi Kiyoshi's portrait.

The shackles of the will-o'-the-wisp were broken.

Because the amount of mirage obtained this time was so huge, this Eight Thunder God is worthy of being a famous god in the Kojiki. Not to mention the faith absorbed by the statue, the mirage alone exceeded the total amount of mirage absorbed by Uesugi Kiyoshi before.

Quantitative change will lead to qualitative change.

Gases can become liquids and solids.

The will-o'-the-wisp fire surged into the body of Uesugi Kiyoshi's portrait, but a green lotus suddenly appeared on the empty hand of his portrait.

Each petal looks like the real thing. If you look closely, you can see that there is green liquid flowing in it, shining brightly.

When he sensed it, he was shocked by the result.

The Inugami swordsmanship that previously required the consumption of a will-o'-the-wisp petal now doesn't even require a single petal.

This blue lotus has double petals, and the number of petals is definitely over two digits.

Finally, he no longer had to fight like Ultraman, where the red light would come on after a few minutes - he estimated that he could now at least use three or five sword strikes to kill the previous killer move, Denglongque.

Of course this is not the most important thing.

the most important is

Uesugi glanced at the murals that were either bright or dark, and a smile full of expectation appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After many days, he could finally light up the Hundred Demons Scroll again.

Chapter 245 Express Delivery

Maybe because of the heavy rain that lasted for more than a week, the weather, which should have been warm in early spring, has become a little cool.

In the Arakawa district, in an ancient dojo that was relatively deep but not small in size, Uesugi Kiyoshi sat on a futon with his eyes lowered to a sword placed in front of him.

This sword looks like an ordinary katana. The scabbard is white and the handle is also snow-white. There is some dew on the scabbard, which is constantly condensing into frost, giving off a chill that makes people feel a little worried.

This dojo is very large, and it is the one that the Touwenkai gave to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

The gym has now been completely cleaned up, the floor has been swept clean to a shine, and all the protective gear and equipment that you would find in an ordinary kendo gym are available here.

The table is clean and bright, and looks comfortable.

Uesugi Kiyoshi has moved in for several days. In front is the dojo, in the back is a private residence, and there is a not-so-small Japanese-style garden as the backyard. Out of the backyard gate is Arakawa Water - this place is located by the river.

Overall, Uesugi Kiyoshi was very satisfied with his new home.

However, this dojo has not yet opened for business. In her spare time, Rin Kamiizumi will bring the scouts who have been playing with her since the port area to practice kendo here.

This is not playing house. Uesugi Kiyoshi has seen that their training is very strict and disciplined. It is really difficult for those children to take such a long train ride from the port area to come here to learn sword. Of course, this also highlights the undisputed status of Kamiizumi Rin as the king of children.

The time was now 4:30 in the afternoon. Rin Kamiizumi had already finished school and, as usual, led a group of boy scouts over. He put on kendo uniforms for them and led them in sword-fighting practice.

Compared to the private dojo in the master's home, Uesugi Kiyoshi's dojo looks like an ordinary kendo gym.

With Uesugi Kiyoshi as the center line, to his right is a group of children practicing swordplay, and to his left is the swordplay instructor he hired at a high salary, meditating with his eyes closed.

After the battle of Arakawa, Shingo Narumi quit his previous job and came to report to Uesugi Kiyoshi. Although this dojo was not open to the public, Uesugi Kiyoshi still paid him a salary - as the master of Arakawa, he could not be neglected.

More than a week has passed since the last battle. With Kudo Yuichi around, he doesn't have to worry about the aftermath. However, Kudo Yuichi has been very busy recently and he hasn't seen his good friend much. It should be that the current head of the Kudo family is preparing for this year's election, so many trivial matters fall on Kudo Yuichi. Uesugi Kiyoshi is too lazy to ask about such troublesome matters.

He also had a good rest for a few days. To be honest, after mobilizing that amount of mirage energy, he showed some signs of sinking. Fortunately, he had "special medicine" with him, so nothing happened. The pot of medicinal wine had no other problems except that it was quite strong.

And there was naturally a reason why he was staring at a sword here today.

This sword is not an ordinary sword, it is at least a "weapon of ghosts and gods".

Because this sword was taken out from his own Hundred Demons Scroll.

Of course, he did not waste the mirage energy from before. At present, only the Inugami Scroll in his Hundred Demons Scroll has been completely lit up, but there are actually quite a few scrolls that can be lit up.

The Scroll of Demonic Sword, the Scroll of Yingcao, and the "Scroll of Snow Walk" that was suddenly unlocked after the last battle.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should correspond to Liu Longren who possesses the spirit of the Snow Boy.

Perhaps it was the friendship of "comrades-in-arms" who fought side by side, or perhaps it was because of the strength of Uesugi Kiyoshi in slaying demons and gods, Liu Longren seemed to recognize Uesugi Kiyoshi in some way. At the same time, the Snow Walk Scroll was also in a state where it could be lit.

There are roughly three types of ghosts and gods in Uesugi Kiyoshi's scrolls.

Trapped inside, he can be "summoned" to act as a fighter, and his power can also be used - Shuten-doji.

The lord of Arakawa, Narumi Shingo, can also draw on his power through some kind of contractual connection, probably a subordinate relationship.

The rest are those whose minds and souls are completely in the Hundred Demons Scroll, including Yingcao, Youtouhime, Inugami, and the newly appeared Snow Boy.

For the first two types, Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't need to bother spending mirage energy, because it is of no use at all. The strength of the borrowed power depends on the strength of the ghost itself.

But for the last one, it depends on whether he spends enough money.

The first thing he wanted to do when he obtained the massive mirage was to light up the Demon Sword Scroll.

Because some of the eight cards in the Demon Sword Scroll are naturally lit, and with the experience of the Inugami Scroll, he is now looking forward to what surprises fully lighting up another volume of the Hundred Demons Scroll will bring him.

Whether it is the body of the Inugami or the "Dragon Bird", they are his trump cards now, and are the killer moves that can decide the outcome of the battle.

However, what he didn't expect was that the amount of mirage energy required for the Demon Sword Scroll was exponentially greater than that of the Inugami Scroll. After all the mirage energy from the Eight Thunder Gods was poured into it, there were still three cards that remained stubbornly dim and had no response to him.

Each monster scroll has eight cards. If all eight cards are lit up, there may be incredible changes. This has precedents, but Inugami is not a real god after all, but Toufu Maki is a real god.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was also very curious whether the changes in the Demon Sword Scroll could be synchronized to Toufu Maki.

But no matter how curious he was, the amount of mirage was not enough, and he could not create something out of nothing. He could only wait and replenish it after hunting ghosts and gods in the future.

In desperation, he transferred the remaining mirage energy into the Scroll of Snow Walk, because he really didn't want Nohara Anko to go to the battlefield, and he didn't even consider the Scroll of Yingcao.

As a result, before the mirage ran out, he finally lit up the first card of the Snow Walk Scroll.

"Sword Movement - Snow Walking".

Snow Walk is a sword technique that can draw on the power of frost and snow. It is useful for Uesugi Kiyoshi, but that is not the point.

The point is, after he lit up "Xuezou", a sword suddenly appeared in the mirage.

A sword-like "weapon of ghosts and gods".

He cannot use this sword because the coldness on the hilt is too strong and can even freeze his hands. His strength will only be one tenth of what it was when he used this sword.

In his opinion, since this thing came from the Snow Walk Scroll, it must be related to the Liu Long people.

So he made an appointment with Liu Longren and prepared to give him the sword.

Since his scroll of a hundred ghosts contains the scroll of Snow Walk, Liu Longren is naturally not an outsider. This is called keeping the wealth within the family, so he doesn't feel bad about it.

While I was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Rin Kamiizumi jumped to open the door enthusiastically, but her voice arrived before she even showed up.

"Who is it~"

The voice is as full of energy as always.

A somewhat unfamiliar male voice was heard from outside the house.

"Hello, excuse me, is this Mr. Uesugi Kiyoshi's residence? I'm here to deliver a package."

After hearing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked suspicious.

"Ah Lin, go and do your work, I'll open the door."

After giving these instructions, Kamiizumi Rin turned around and ran back obediently to continue his role as a "teacher".

Uesugi Kiyoshi stood up and walked towards the door with an expressionless face.

He doesn't think that anyone in this family will receive the express delivery!

The recipient is still him!

Chapter 246 Yagyu

Japan is far from being like China, and the express delivery industry is not that developed. Besides, this is Uesugi Kiyoshi's new address, and he has never shopped online. Unless someone specifically asks about it, it would not be easy to find this place.

He walked slowly to the door, grasped the door handle, and gently pulled the sliding shoji door open.

Coming towards me was a bright flash of a knife.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was not surprised at all, he even had the leisure to glance at the attacking knife.

"Hmm? Unsharpened?"

"A prototype sword for research? This thing is only used in ancient swordsmanship. Modern swordsmanship uses wooden swords or bamboo swords."

"It doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble. There's no awareness in the sword, and I can't smell any killing intent."

He thought so much about just one thought.

But his hands did not slow down at all.

Fighting has gradually become his physical instinct, just like humans frown when they feel pain and blink when their eyes are attacked.

You don't even have to think about it, your body reacts automatically.

"The unsharpened knife is taken away!"

To be honest, it had been a long time since he had a kendo match with a decent opponent. Instead of being angry, he was delighted.

He put his palms together and faced forward, with only the blade in his eyes.

There are three styles of "no-sword seizing" in Shinkage-ryu that have been passed down, also known as "sword-seizing method, three forces".

Of these three moves, Kamiizumi Hidekawa had demonstrated one himself, in which he used his bare palm to grab the knife, twist it, and lift it, using his clever strength to move a large object with only a little force, to knock down the enemy's weapon - this was the most difficult move.

The remaining two styles took up dozens of pages. One of them was quite outrageous, and it was about "talking skills". It meant being able to speak eloquently and defeat the enemy without fighting. In short, it was just verbal attack. Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't even read it and skipped it directly.

The last move is to attack with both palms, cut into the enemy's heart, hit his wrist holding the knife, and then snatch the knife.

Now this situation can be used!

Generally speaking, it is impossible to grab a knife with bare hands in reality, because the friction of the palms can hardly stop the blade from being cut down by gravity. Even if you use clever force of twisting from the upper side, most people are still unable to do it.

But, Uesugi Kiyoshi is not an ordinary person!

His palms now have the strength of a thousand pounds.
