Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

"That's right. Besides, Master, haven't you already absorbed the power of that guy?" Achilles reminded, "You can use that power to change the terrain and restrict the movement of the demon snake."

"Do it." Minamoto no Raikou said in an encouraging tone.]

Chapter 58: Weak in group fights, invincible in single combat

Mud dragons and tree dragons rose from the ground, and with an irregular cross-layout, they pinned the demon snake's body down in place, preventing it from escaping.

This evil snake is good in every way except that its body surface is bumpy and not slippery like normal snakes.

So no matter how hard the demon snake struggled, it could not escape the bondage of the mud dragon and the tree dragon.

Taiyi can actually use his ability to change the world to restrain the demon snake, but the power he has absorbed now is not enough to support him to make large-scale changes.

In addition, the body of the demon snake was too huge. Even if Taiyi used his full strength to activate that ability, he could only restrain one or two at most. If he was more greedy, he might not be able to restrain even one.

This demon snake doesn't have a "seven inches".

After replacing the mask with Minamoto no Raikou's, Taichi pointed the vajra at the snake's head and started the charging mode.

A headshot!

The purple-black miasma quickly spread from the broken end of the demon snake's head to its entire body, and gradually condensed into a miasma ball with a diameter of about three meters.

Taiyi changed the vajra into diffusion mode, so that when it attacked the opponent, it would have the special effect of "making the opponent dance".

Well, it means that your hands and feet are shaking uncontrollably, your body is swaying slightly, and you might even stick out your tongue.

The moment the miasma ball took shape, it rushed towards Taiyi at a rapid speed.

From the purple-black miasma, a black sickle blade broke through the air and chopped towards Taiyi's head.

Taiyi did not hesitate. He raised the vajra with both hands and turned 360 degrees on the spot. Using inertia, he collided the vajra with the opponent's sickle head-on.

Zizzi——!

Dazzling lightning instantly spread out from the vajra and vines along the sickle towards Yuan Luzhi's body.

The effect is not strong, but at least it can make Yuan Ruzhi's body out of control for a second.

Taichi instantly freed his hands in this second, drew his sword and slashed at Enryuchi's neck with the Doujikiri Yasunaga.

The main feature is smoothness! Fast, accurate and ruthless!

However, Yuan Luzhi regained control of his body in an emergency and barely managed to tilt his head back a distance at the last moment.

"Tsk, the cut was too shallow." Taiyi curled his lips in dissatisfaction as he looked at the purple-black miasma emanating from the blade on Yuan Luzhi's neck.

There was no expression on Enryuchi's face.

It was as if the person who was almost beheaded just now was not him.

He slowly raised the sickle in his hand and stared at Taiyi with merciless eyes.

It gave me goosebumps watching it.

"Let's end this quickly. We don't have time to waste too much time here with him." Taiyi lowered his body, concentrated most of his strength under his feet, sheathed his sword, and prepared to draw his sword and slash for the second time.

[“Constrain the radiation range of the lightning.” Achilles reminded, “Otherwise, the aftershocks of the collision will blow the head you just placed not far away into pieces. Then you may not have a legitimate reason to hug it left and right.”]

"Suck--"

jump!

The knife light formed a net!

"call--"

In one round, Taiyi achieved his goal of moving from in front of Yuan Luzhi to behind him.

And Enryuchi just froze in place, not moving.

Until the web formed by the knife light exposed the current state of his body, countless cracks completely shattered his body into pieces.

Seventy-three knives per second.

Every strike of the sword is fatal.

The main purpose is to make Enryuchi unable to recover.

But this wave also took a heavy toll on Taiyi.

The pain in his wrists and ankles made him stagger and almost fall after he sheathed the knife.

But fortunately, Yuan Luzhi had already dissipated into pure "divine power" on the spot and could no longer react, so Taiyi's slight flaw was not exploited.

Resisting the urge to swallow all the 'divine power' in one breath, Taiyi transferred the divine power into his body bit by bit, allowing it to merge with the part of Yuan Luzhi's divine power that he had absorbed before.

The reason why it absorbs so slowly is that if there is any abnormality, Taiyi can immediately cut off the connection.

After absorbing the divine power, Taiyi looked at his hands and shook them gently.

The mud dragon and tree dragon behind him that were used to imprison the demon snake's body instantly disintegrated and returned to the earth.

And the color of the land has also changed slightly.

It's no longer the same as before when you grab a handful and it slips through your fingers like sand.

Instead, it carries a slight unique smell of soil and condenses into small clumps.

The land has a hint of life.

But only a trace.

If we allow the situation to develop without any care, it may be several decades before a hint of green appears between the soil layers.

"It's getting closer." Taiyi scratched his neck happily.

A quarter of the power has been obtained, and control over the world is gradually increasing.

However, it still failed to achieve the level of 'creating water out of thin air'.

Picking up Taira no Kiyomori's head again, Taichi looked around for a while, then walked in a certain direction with some uncertainty.

Taiyi didn't have time to confirm the direction when he escaped before, and now he is not sure which direction he asked Ningning to retreat.

My mentality is still not stable enough and I tend to fail at critical moments.

As Taiyi set out on his journey to find someone, he reflected silently.

……

After causing a great disturbance in Guzhi Castle, the six demon snakes dispersed.

Two of them turned back to their previous habitat and planned to take a nap.

But the other four, after entangled with each other for a while, each chose a direction to leave.

After everything had calmed down, a pair of hairy feet finally stepped onto this land.

"Wow, that's quite a commotion."

When he saw Taira no Kiyomori's headless body with several big holes, Mao's feet paused.

"Brother Taira no Kiyomori also lost his life. However, this weapon is quite sharp. Even a body like Brother Taira no Kiyomori couldn't withstand it. Several holes were directly pierced through it."

Sun Wukong, who was carrying a stick-like weapon on his shoulder and looked little like a monkey except for his tail, whistled frivolously.

"There really are some incredible people on the human side."

Because of the series of battles, Taiyi's existence has long been no secret to the demon army.

Sun Wukong also knew of its existence, but he had been busy with trivial matters before, so naturally he had no chance to compete with the famous 'Lai Guang'.

But now his "boss" is dead, he has been forced to stop working, and there is even a "dancing wizard" chasing him everywhere. Sun Wukong feels that everything is really going wrong for him.

"It's decided. Let's go find that guy and fight him first. Otherwise, if we are taken back by Sanzang and then regret not fighting him earlier, it will be too late." Sun Wukong smashed Taira no Kiyomori's body into pieces with a stick, then wiped his forehead and made up his mind.

Chapter 59: Reunion with the Female Kung Fu

“…What a coincidence.”

Looking at the young man holding a head in his hand, the female ninja's mouth twitched a few times and she barely managed a smile.

"Is that the head of Taira no Kiyomori? You, you defeated Taira no Kiyomori? Alone?" Yukimura Sanada looked at the head in the young man's hand with some shock, then stared at Taichi and asked.

"Taira Kiyomori? Is he the guy who controlled you with puppetry?" The shrine maiden Hongye, who had never taken a proper history class and didn't know much about who Taira Kiyomori was, looked at Taira Kiyomori's head for several times. When she saw the pair of small horns on his forehead, an expression of disgust appeared on her face.

"I'm relieved to see that you're all safe." Taichi glanced at the three of them, then nodded to the female kunoichi he was most familiar with and said, "You came at the right time. I just happened to be a little overwhelmed because I was lost. Please give me a ride."

"It's no problem to give you a ride, but where is your destination?" the female ninja asked Taichi, then turned around and introduced Taichi's identity to Yukimura Sanada and Momiji, and also introduced Momiji to Taichi.

When he learned that Taichi was the one who suppressed himself during the period when he was manipulated by Taira no Kiyomori and prevented him from committing more unnecessary killings, Sanada Yukimura immediately bowed respectfully to Taichi to express his gratitude.

"Although I really want to go directly to Jianye City, I still have to find my companions before that." Taiyi shrugged and answered helplessly, "Before, because the battle was a bit loud, I asked her to take shelter as far away as possible. As a result, I lost my sense of direction during the fight, and now I can't even find her."

"Wait! That's a bit too loud!" The female ninja shuddered and looked at Taiyi in fear, "The lightning that filled the sky before, could it be you..."

"Yes, I released them." Taiyi nodded and replied, "After all, it is a bit difficult to deal with seven demon snakes at once, so I released some lightning to help."

"Seven demon snakes..." Yukimura Sanada, who had once had the honor of witnessing the harm of demon snakes, raised his head and looked at Taichi as if he had seen a living god descend to the world. "Are you really not a citizen of the immortal world?"

When the female ninja introduced Taichi, she emphasized that he was a man from the future from another world.

"No." Taiyi shook his head and replied, "In various worlds, there are always various inexplicable combat powers that transcend common sense. You can just treat me as that kind of person."

"Besides the head of Taira no Kiyomori, what were the results of the battle?" The female ninja looked at Taichi with great interest and asked, "From the fact that you don't have any injuries on your body, you shouldn't have suffered a big loss."

"The seven demon snakes cooperated too well. I couldn't defeat them alone, so I planned to retreat. I killed this guy before retreating." Taiyi said while holding up Taira no Kiyomori's head. "But then a demon snake caught up with me, and I killed it when it was alone."

"Your Excellency is truly a god." Yukimura Sanada looked at Taichi with burning eyes.

If the current environment wasn't so suitable, he would have wanted to challenge Taiyi right there and then.

"By the way, where were you originally planning to go?" Taichi threw Taira no Kiyomori's head to Yukimura Sanada, then climbed onto the ninja's horse without any hesitation.

After all, the only one among the three that he was relatively familiar with was the female kunoichi.

Before this, Yukimura Sanada was always being controlled by puppetry.

"Jiangdong." Suddenly there was a heat source behind her, and the female ninja twisted her body uncomfortably. "Because I heard from people along the way that a group of troops claiming to be the punitive army is attacking the demon army in the Jiangdong area and taking back the lost territory. I wondered if it might be your new base after leaving Luoyang."

"As a result, I saw the sky full of thunder and lightning halfway through, so I changed my route and came over here to take a look, and I just happened to meet you." The female ninja turned her horse's head and headed towards Jianye City.

"Yes, it is us." Taiyi nodded and replied, "Now in the entire Jiangdong, only Jianye City has not been recaptured."

"Huh? No, you guys are really too fast!" The female ninja was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly turned her upper body and looked at Taiyi in astonishment, "How long has it been? Are you going to take back the entire Jiangdong?"

"...Unbelievable, that's most of the Jiangnan region..." Sanada Yukimura was also stunned, "Even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops and every battle is won, it will take at least five or six years to regain this point..."

Hongye on the side blinked, summarized the words of the female ninja and Sanada Yukimura, and after coming up with the general outline, she looked at Taichi with shock.

"Well, for various reasons," Taichi replied with a shrug.

"You don't need to explain. I almost understand." The female kunoichi stroked her forehead and sighed, "Although I don't know how much credit General Guan and his men have in this, most of the credit should be due to you."

He had seen Taiyi's abilities.

She had already assessed the combat effectiveness of Guan Yu and others.

The kunoichi had no idea how much of the impact Taiyi had on the recovery of Jiangdong was so quick.

"Come to think of it, the demon snake was probably awakened by Taira no Kiyomori, right? Was it because you guys were attacking the city so fast that it frightened him?"

"It's hard to say why. Maybe he was going to play hardball with us." Taiyi shrugged and replied, "But he was indeed the one who awakened the demon snake. Ningning and I rode at full speed and chased after him, but we still couldn't catch up and stop him."

"Ningning-sama?" Sanada Yukimura asked in surprise, "Is the person who came with Lord Raikou the one who came with Lord Ningning?"

Although the Sanada Yukimura family had not yet had any connection with Toyotomi Hideyoshi when they were drawn into this era, he had seen Ningning before.

During the time when Oda Nobunaga died in Honnoji Temple, Sanada Yukimura accompanied his sister Muramatsudono who was sent to Azuchi Castle as a hostage... As a result, the news of Oda Nobunaga's death soon reached Azuchi Castle, and in the chaos, he met Chacha, who was still young at the time. With the help of the female ninja and Sasuke, he fled Azuchi Castle with his sister Muramatsudono and Chacha, and met Nene, who was sent by Hideyoshi to inquire about the situation.

After Chacha left with Ningning, he took his sister back to the Sanada family.

After coming to this world, because of Enryuchi, he had fought side by side with Ningning many times, and their relationship was quite close... and Ningning seemed to be quite optimistic about him and tried to win him over many times.

But they were all rejected by Yukimura Sanada, who was loyal to the Takeda family at the time.

Chapter 60: Red Leaf's Challenge

Ningning's retreat direction was not completely different from Taiyi's previous direction, but it was more or less offset by an acute angle of thirty degrees.
