Chapter 331 Killing the Owl
The Gu Yingzhong are the strongest ninjas in the inner palace. Some of them are good at using poison, and some are good at controlling wild beasts. They like to hold the Kodachi in one hand. Together with their extremely sharp leg skills, they are very sharp in both sneaking and assassination. They are very difficult. The existence of entanglement.
But this is only relative.
When Amber swaggered in front of a lonely shadow warrior who was on duty somewhere, the latter didn't even think about saying a word, he picked up the knife and rushed over.
It has to be said that his speed is indeed very fast, and his whole body is like a purple phantom during the attack.
Just at the moment when the swords met, the purple-clothed lone figure flew back at a faster speed, directly knocking a big hole out of the house behind him. When he fell to the ground, all the bones in his body were almost broken.
The entire process takes less than three seconds.
The difference in strength was so great that this Gu Yingzhong never understood until his death why a person of similar size to himself could suddenly burst out with such terrifying power.
Amber also lowered his head and looked at the Wandering Dragon Sword in his hand. He could only say that it was indeed a sword of one's heart, and ordinary swords could not compare with it.
Okay, but it's still too light and too small.
It can be used for one-on-one duels, but if it is to be used on a battlefield with hundreds or thousands of people, it is better to use a heavy weapon to sweep.
Maybe we can get the Seven Guns from the Ghost Punishment Department, and there's also a giant sword over there from the Lion Ape.
Sheathing the knife, Amber was about to leave, but his keen senses made him notice something unusual, so he stopped and turned to look at a roof on the right.
The location he is currently in is on the outside of the Hukou Stairs in Ashina Castle. There are cliffs nearby. The only road leading to Ashina's main city is the checkpoint built by Ashina Isshin.
As long as this place is defended, the inner government will not be able to send a large army over. The only way to capture it is to use human lives to pile it up.
But neither Genichiro nor Isshin thought that all their hard work would be destroyed by Sekiro.
"I've been looking for you for so long, but I didn't expect you to be delivered to your door."
Amber slashed out with a knife, splitting the house and the ground into two.
Amidst the rumbling collapse, a burly old man with long white hair suddenly appeared. After rolling twice on the ground in a panic, he raised his arm and spread a black mist.
Amber frowned slightly, and then swung the knife again, and the blazing slashes and a series of slight explosions were intertwined in the narrow corridor.
When the smoke cleared, Xiao, who had already accumulated his energy, used his famous stunt.
Giant ninja thrust!
I saw him walking with the knife, his legs seemed to be sliding on the ground, and he was in front of Amber in the blink of an eye.
Ding!
Soon enough, Amber raised the Dragon Sword to block, and the two collided, making an extremely harsh sound of gold and iron clashing.
This move cannot be blocked. You must either dodge sideways or knock his sword off from the side while charging forward.
But now, Amber has done it.
Xiao Xiao was hit by the huge force and flew out directly. He didn't even hold the knife and fell to the side.
"you…"
He half-crouched on the ground, his face becoming extremely solemn, "Did Yixin ask you to come? Is he finally going to break his promise?"
It turns out that after the war to steal the country, Ashina devoted himself to carrying the name of Sword Master and became the master of this country. Madame Butterfly and others also had their own glory and destiny.
Only he got nothing.
Perhaps out of guilt, Yixin gave Xiao a promise.
"No, I came here myself."
Amber slowly put down the Dragon Sword, "Actually, personally, I don't have much thought about you and this country. I just received kindness from Genichiro, so I have to return it to him."
"Favor? Hahaha, ridiculous remarks."
Xiao Xiao laughed and picked up the knife on the ground with his left hand. The entire right hand was disabled just now.
Forces interact. In order to maximize the power of the giant ninja's thrust, he will use all his strength every time he uses this move.
This is the real reason why it cannot be blocked.
But precisely because of this, once the offensive is blocked, there will be a backlash. This is also in line with the characteristics of a ninja, giving up everything just to complete the mission.
Therefore, when his sword collided with Amber's Dragon Sword, the outcome of this battle was already doomed.
"bring it on!"
With a wild roar, the ninja leader, who had countless lives on his hands, rushed toward Amber like a moth flying into a flame.
He is already very old, and although his body has not reached the level of Isshin, it is gradually declining.
The owl used to disdain the use of poison, but now the poison never leaves his body.
Amber lowered her eyes, and when Xiao Xiao's knife stabbed her, she sideways dodged the sword. At the same time, the Youlong Sword in her hand was slightly raised, and it was already smeared into Xiao Xiao's abdomen without using any force.
"What a...powerful...samurai!"
puff!
As Amber pulled out the Wandering Dragon Sword, Xiao knelt down softly, "This is...death..."
Before he finished speaking, his breath had been cut off.
After dealing with the traitors within, the next step is the internal government and bandits from the outside.
Amber shook off the blood on the knife, turned around and left.
Shortly after he left, two figures came to the scene.
"What's he going to do next?"
Yi Xin looked at Xiao Xiao's body and muttered to himself, as if he was asking himself or the people next to him.
"I should go find Genichiro. Although I don't know much about An, this samurai is not the kind of person who wants to be beaten passively."
Yongzhen gave his own answer.
"Maybe I should give them some guidance."
Yixin suddenly said, "Those people in the inner palace are very cunning and know how to be patient. If they fall into a trap, no matter how strong they are, it will be useless."
Yongzhen didn't talk this time because she knew that the other person was not asking her.
However, both of them guessed wrong.
Amber did not go to find Genichiro, or even tell anyone, but left Ashina Mountain alone with the knife.
This caused many bad suspicions among those who stayed in Ashina City.
Isshin began to wonder if the guy had run away secretly, taking his own knife with him.
Yongzhen believed that Amber died outside because he believed that the other party was not that kind of person.
Genichiro, on the other hand, fell into a long silence. The manic murderous intention in his heart made his thoughts very chaotic, and he was not controlled by his thoughts at all.
Of course, these are too far away for the lower class Ashigaru and samurai.
It's very normal to be killed in Ashina, but what's even more normal are those monsters that can't be killed no matter what.
Ten days later,
Ashigaru, who was responsible for guarding the outskirts of Ashina City, saw a man covered in blood from a distance and carrying something.
The vigilance made him start to shout loudly, and the people who were originally scattered around gathered around and stared at the man on the mountain step by step.
