Chapter 260: Severing the Death! Stepping towards the Altar!
But see this moment!
Xiaolin has found the red demon again.
She was seen tiptoeing and after killing a circle of soldiers around the red ghost, she quietly came behind the whimpering red ghost.
The next second, a huge red killing dot appeared.
Xiao Lin's eyes flashed with cold light, and the sharp wedge ball was unsheathed. He leaped three or two steps and climbed onto the red ghost's neck, then stabbed the left eye of the violently struggling red ghost!
Puff——!!!
In an instant, blood splattered!
Before the fight even started, the red demon was killed by Kobayashi Shinobu and lost a lot of blood!
Immediately afterwards, the two sides officially went to war!
With a roar from the red devil, it raised its sandbag-sized fist and was about to hit Xiaolin.
However, Kobayashi did not panic at all, and pushed his prosthetic arm forward - whoosh!
The blazing flames blasted out, causing the red ghost to scream miserably. He flapped his hands around and fell into a state of stiffness for a very long time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kobayashi flew forward and stabbed the red ghost four times in a row, forcing him to retreat again and again!
Following right on!
When the red ghost woke up and was about to move forward again, Xiaolin used the same trick again and blasted out flames, directly giving the red ghost a layer of [Flame] burning BUFF!
Four more knives!
One round, two rounds, three rounds, four rounds!
Repeat four rounds!
Puff!
As the last knife was chopped off, the red ghost's posture bar filled up.
Kobayashi seized the opportunity and made a sudden thrust - poof!
The blade stabbed into the red ghost's throat and then pulled out!
Puff——!!!
Blood is everywhere!
To Hao Xianming's stunned astonishment, the red ghost that caused countless people to wail in pain was actually killed by Kobayashi Wushang in this way!
“Oh my god—!”
Hao Xianming screamed.
Xu Xiaolin laughed:
"Look, this is another example of how great this game is,"
"There are more ways to defeat elite bosses than just fighting with swords. There are also faster and easier ways."
"And, even better, while you're looking for these shortcuts,"
"The game's plot and world view will also be presented through your further exploration,"
"They are interconnected..."
Following Xu Xiaolin’s analysis.
The ups and downs, grand but regretful and sad song of the end of the road in this film slowly unfolds——
Twenty years ago, the "War of Stealing the Country" initiated by Ashina Isshin, although named "War of Stealing the Country", actually freed Ashina from the brutal rule of the Imperial Household.
Ashina Province should belong to the Ashina people.
After a brutal bloody battle, the bandits led by the swordsman Ashina Isshin won the victory. Ashina became autonomous, the country returned to peace, and everyone lived and worked in peace.
However.
No matter how powerful a hero is, he will eventually grow old.
Today, the swordsman Ashina Isshin is very old and frail, and the Ashina Kingdom is ruled by his adopted grandson Ashina Genichirō.
Everyone knows how powerful Yi Xin is, but now, the former sword master is no longer as powerful as he once was.
As a result, the flames of invasion from the inner court swept in again.
Genichirō, who was determined to protect his country, saw that the situation was unfavorable and that Ashina could not resist the powerful Imperial Household, so he turned his attention to "Miko" Hirata Kuro.
The Hirata family was originally the largest common family in Ashina Province and was one of the Ashina retainers.
The reason why the Hirata family has such a high status in Ashina Province is not only because the Hirata family is large, but also because they are the family responsible for protecting the "Miko".
The origin of "Miko" Hirata Kuro is unknown.
But everyone knows that within Jiulang's body flows a power called [Power of Dragon's Heritage].
This power can bring people back to life and extract the lives of others as nourishment for oneself.
eternal life.
As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure.
Kuro and the Hirata family, who possess such power to change destiny, are naturally targeted by many forces.
So.
Three years ago, due to a huge fire, countless bandits invaded and the Hirata family was tragically defeated.
As Jiulang's personal bodyguard, Lang naturally has to rescue his young master.
In the blazing mansion, he fought his way through the bandits and killed the leader of the bandits. At the same time, he also saw his adoptive father Xiao who was already dying.
His adoptive father gave him the key to the temple and told him to strictly follow the ninja rules and protect the young master.
After saying this, he passed away.
The wolf had no time to sigh, and continued to hurry along the way. Finally, he found Jiulang who was under the spell in the burning Buddhist temple.
The one who cast the illusion on Jiulang was none other than Wolf's former master - Madame Butterfly.
Why was the Hirata family, one of the largest families in Ashina Province, invaded so easily?
After seeing Madame Butterfly, one of Ashina's close retainers, Wolf seemed to have found the answer.
No further words needed.
Draw swords and fight bloody battles.
Madame Butterfly's fighting ability is so superb and her illusion is so exquisite.
However, it is ultimately impossible to escape the players' repeated strategies.
Finally, the wolf dodged fiercely and stabbed the wedge ball in his hand through Madame Butterfly's chest.
At the last moment of her life, Madame Butterfly smiled gently, as if she had done so many times before, as if she was relieved and completely liberated. She patted the wolf's shoulder and said, "Well done, boy."
It seems that in this world with the power of immortality.
Eternal life is not a gift but a curse.
Death is the real liberation.
No time to think about it.
Seeing that the burning Buddhist temple was about to collapse, Wolf thought about taking Jiulang away quickly and away from this place of trouble.
However!
Just when he was about to turn around!
A huge sword came from behind him and pierced his chest.
The wolf didn't even have time to see who was coming behind him, and he died, being smashed into the sea of fire along with the collapsed fire beam.
until.
Jiulang left and came back.
In the sea of fire, he grabbed his big hand.
He is the master of the wolf, and at the same time, the wolf is his only relative and support.
[Wolf, take my blood and live]
Pink light rises to the sky!
Under the falling cherry blossoms, the power of Dragon's Heritage was transmitted.
The true blood contract between the master and servant was signed.
These were the memories that the wolves had lost.
But now, through the old woman's guardian bell, he has found everything back.
At the same time, you must also abide by the ninja's precepts -
[I will protect my master with my life, and I will rescue him if he is taken away.]
Whoosh——
Heavy snow!
The wolf's figure shuttled back and forth.
At the same time, on the tallest castle tower in Ashina Province!
Ashina Genichirō, wearing majestic armor and a daimyo helmet, was standing on the platform.
Here, he can see the overall situation of Ashina Province.
In the distance, there was thick smoke and flames of war.
And my grandfather Isshin, who was once famous and powerful, is now in danger, just like Ashina Castle.
The country was destroyed and the mountains and rivers were shattered.
Genichirō must obtain Kuro's dragon's power no matter what.
At any cost.
"I'll say it again, Miko."
Turning back, Genichirō looked at the petite and immature Jiulang behind him:
"Make an undying pact with me."
However.
Jiulang's voice sounded.
Naive, but with unquestionable confidence.
"I can't do it, Genichirō-sama,"
As he said this, Jiulang turned around:
"Even if you lose once, you must still risk your life to save the Lord..."
"That's my kind of ninja."
That’s it!
Boom!!!
The nimble body passed through the wind and snow, and like a nimble wolf, it leaped into the castle tower!
A steady voice sounded, and a determined look shone in the man's resolute and unyielding eyes.
“I have come to meet the Lord.”
…
“OHHHHHHH——!”
This moment!
Players around the world are excited!
Along the way, they have experienced so much hardship and torture!
That was the red ghost's ravaging throw, and the bandit leader's poisonous blow!
It is the death caused by the repeated charges and collisions of the Fire Bull, and it is also the painful wails caused by the piercing of the Ghost Punishment Department's angry horse and silver spear!
From outside the city to the castle tower, it is only a short distance and is far from being a long journey.
But now.
It’s dawn outside the window, just like us in the game!
Under the moonlight, you defeated me and cut off my left arm.
In the morning sun, I fought my way back, determined to follow the ninja's creed.
bring it on!
Genichirō.
It's time for a real showdown!
Whoosh——
Boring!!!
Sparks flying!
Both men have something they want to protect.
Genichirō did this for Ashina, for his country, and for Ashina Castle, the only thing his grandfather was worried about!
Sekiro is for Mikokuro, for his master, and for the ninja creed that he has always adhered to!
On top of the castle tower, the wind is shaking the sky!
Heavy snow was drifting at the highest point of this small border country, and sparks were flying amid the harsh sound of metal colliding.
Ding! Dang! Boring!
Genichirō gathered his strength and lunged forward!
Bang! Brake!
Sekiro's eyes are cautious, and his sharpness reveals determination!
Genichirō, before coming here, I met your grandfather, the legendary invincible Ashina Isshin.
He invited me to have a drink with him and we talked a lot.
But among all these, the most important one, which he specifically told me, was: "Remember, Sekiro—"
【If you hesitate, you will lose! 】
The blade was flying, and every move of Genichirō was filled with unparalleled majesty and sharpness.
Stab, chop, and circle the knife around the body, flying up and down!
Draw the bow, put the arrow on it, and shoot out with great force like thunder!
Sekiro's every move and gesture is full of the determination and fighting memories he has regained along the way.
See through, bounce back, sparks fly, deafening!
Gourd, candy, resurrection and fight again, never give up!
The sound of ding-dong can be heard constantly in the castle tower!
At this point in the battle, every laughing player actually calmed down and focused on swinging the Kusabamaru in their hands, concentrating on dealing with the daimyo of Ashina Province in front of them!
"Stop it here, Wolf--!!!"
A huge [Danger] light appeared in the UI interface of anchor Zi Yu.
Then Genichirō retracted his hand and gathered strength, then he lunged forward!
But Zi Yu was not in a hurry. She stepped forward and accurately stepped on Genichirō's long sword!
"The one who has come this far is you! Genichirō!"
Bang!
It seemed that Genichirō’s posture bar was about to be filled.
Zi Yu was seen holding the knife in both hands, raising it high above her head!
"This is what your grandfather taught me!"
"Ashina-ryu! Ichimonji 2-shot!"
Boring! Boring!
Two heart-shaking, piercing golden sounds rang out!
After two powerful blows, Genichirō couldn't bear it anymore and fell to his knees with a thud!
Zi Yu also seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and slashed!
Puff——
The blade pierced into Genichirō's throat, causing a string of blood to spurt out!
“Pfft—uh uh—”
Bone rolling——!!!
Genichirō groaned in pain after being thrown away, and rolled far away on the floor of the castle tower!
"A ninja who... harmed... Miko"
Single sword hits the ground!
Genichirō whispered a cold approval.
hiss--!
Zi Yu took a breath.
This guy is not dead yet?!
As a shark anchor, Zi Yu’s previous live broadcasts have always been tepid.
Until today.
Oh no, yesterday to be exact.
It was already past twelve o'clock.
In fact, among the big anchors like Ayin, Shuge, Liuliu, Teacher Donggua Qiezipiao, etc., Ziyu’s live broadcast has no advantage at all.
Because almost all platforms were broadcasting this game, most of her original live broadcast audiences were attracted away.
There were very few viewers in the live broadcast room.
However, it seems that this is exactly the case.
Zi Yu was more focused when playing the game.
Originally, she just wanted to do a live broadcast to entertain herself, mainly for playing games.
But unexpectedly, as the game went on, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room increased, and it continued to rise!
because!
Look at the entire Shark live broadcast room.
She is actually one of the few anchors who cleared the Red Devil the fastest, and she is also the only female anchor among them!
Soon, the reputation of the 'Valkyrie', whose voice was sweet and crisp, but who was extremely fierce when wielding a knife, spread throughout the entire Shark Live Streaming Platform.
at this time!
The popularity of Zi Yu’s live broadcast room has reached nearly 10 million!
The barrage was very lively——
"Damn it! The Valkyrie can't even be resurrected!"
"Sekiro is operating..."
'Hahahahahaha this is outrageous!'
"Why does it seem like Genichirō is so easy to beat in front of the Valkyrie?"
"It's OK. The first stage isn't that difficult. And Genichirō's thrusts are really easy to spot."
"If you take out the gourd, you will thrust it. If you take out the gourd, you will thrust it. Genichirō is an honest man..."
"He really did. I cried my ass off. Maybe my girlfriend would lie to me, but Genichirō's thrusts wouldn't."
'But it looks like there's a third stage'
"This is really awesome, worthy of being a BOSS level."
'Woc! Woc! Take it off! Genichirō took it off!'
"……"
The audience exclaimed!
Then I saw that the daimyo armor on Genichirō fell off piece by piece!
"To protect Ashina... As long as I can protect Ashina..."
As the armor peeled off, I heard Genichirō say:
"No matter how unorthodox the power is, I can control it..."
Talking about it!
The camera slowly lifts up.
But at this time, Genichirō was already shirtless.
The sturdy body was covered with dark scars.
Behind him, outside the castle tower, a strong wind suddenly blew, with lightning and thunder!
Golden lightning fell from the sky, dazzling!
Specks of light flashed across Genichirō's long sword, and terrifying arcs of electricity leaped!
call--
Next second!
Genichirō jumped up lightly like a phoenix crossing the water, and stabbed Zi Yu with the sharp blade in his hand!
"Why--!"
Puff!
Can't dodge!
Zi Yu was directly poked and flew three meters away!
"Oh my god! This weird technical ability again!"
Obviously, in the previous clip, Golden Wind once again used the CG+real machine seamless conversion that it had previously used in "A Way Out".
You are watching CG one second and fighting the next.
The first blow disrupted Zi Yu's planned rhythm slightly.
And this seems to be exactly the effect that Gu Sheng wants to achieve.
Because, when Genichirō entered this third stage, he was obviously much more violent than in the previous two stages!
Buzz buzz buzz——!!!
The long sword in his hand was swung back and forth, and a wave of continuous slashes came, dazzling!
With a single block, Zi Yu's posture bar was almost filled up instantly!
Boom!
Then another kick!
He kicked Zi Yu directly until her defense was broken and she staggered.
"Ah - it's over, it's over -"
A scream rang out.
Breaking the defense during a boss battle is a big mistake!
Since almost all bosses in Sekiro are extremely intelligent, their AI level is extremely high.
Basically, once the player's defense is broken, the BOSS's throwing skills will come.
Throwing skills often have the highest damage among all the attack methods of the BOSS.
so.
As soon as she lost her balance, Zi Yu screamed and thought to herself, "G."
However.
This time, it is not known whether Genichirō showed mercy, or there was a small error in the game's AI logic, or whether Genichirō simply had no throwing skills in the third stage.
In short, after breaking the defense, Genichirō did not choose to continue chasing.
Instead, he took half a step back and jumped back!
"Okay! Okay, okay!"
Zi Yu quickly steadied her unbalanced body, smiled happily, and breathed a sigh of relief:
"Thank you for not killing me..."
However.
The words haven’t been finished yet.
Suddenly.
Zi Yu only felt a strange touch quietly appearing among her hair.
She herself is female and has long hair.
The wolves in the game also have their hair tied up.
In this way, the feeling is quite obvious.
It seemed as if in an instant, repulsive force was generated between every strand of hair.
It’s just like when I was a kid and went to the Science and Technology Museum to touch the static electricity ball.
At this moment, Zi Yu felt as if a strong static electric field enveloped her in an instant, making her hair fluffy.
In just a blink of an eye.
Zizi--Crack!!!
Suddenly, a golden light flashed!
The sound of the huge thunder was deafening!
Look up.
Amid the crackling sound of electric current, it was seen that Genichirō had already jumped high in the air, drawn his bow and arrow, and the sharp feathered arrow was filled with dazzling lightning!
"Meet the Thunder of Tomoe!"
Sizzle!!!
The giant bow shot out lightning, which instantly pierced through Zi Yu's chest!
In an instant, lightning flashed before my eyes and my whole body was paralyzed and unable to move!
"Me! Shit!"
A scream!
At this moment, Zi Yu remembered the list of books she had seen in front of a desk before arriving at the castle tower.
【Thunder of Ba: Return of Thunder】
[…While jumping, use an attack action to catch the chin thunder and return it…]
I mean, what does that thing mean?
Zi Yu thought to herself.
Before, she was still wondering where to find Ba Zhi Lei.
It turns out to be one of Genichirō’s skills!
However, by the time she realized what was happening, it was obviously too late.
Because the next second.
Then Genichirō drew his bow and sword, and spun in the air!
call--!!!
A huge wind blade that was big enough to cover the entire castle tower spun up and ruthlessly cut Zi Yu's throat!
Puff——
Dead bodies were everywhere!
【die】
“Oh my god—!”
Zi Yu was really shocked.
The audience at the scene were also numb——
"Oh my god! This is so cool!"
"Lightning is coming! Digging the grass is so cruel!"
'In an instant, it went from a sword fight to a fantasy'
'Ohhhhhhh——Surprise! This scene is really explosive!'
"Funds are burning! This is not thunder, it's the cash cow of the Huang family that's struck!"
"Oh my god! I'm so dumbfounded!"
'I mean, isn't this cooler than the fireball in the torii?'
'Bad luck! Don't mention it!'
"Even the Valkyrie is paralyzed..."
"……"
Zi Yu was indeed numb.
But it wasn't because of the beating.
I was numbed by his handsomeness! I was numbed by his excitement!
Resurrection!
Rustle——!
Pink fluorescent light flickered, Zi Yu came back to life, stood up again, his eyes filled with a fiery desire to fight!
You know, in this world where soul-like games have never appeared, players like Zi Yu who can pass the levels in the shortest time are definitely blessed with talent!
They are gifted players who can coordinate their hands and brains. They can easily see through and memorize the enemy's moves and come up with countermeasures in a very short time!
One life for two lives!
When Zi Yu came back to life and stood up, the gourd was no longer in her hand.
On the other side, Genichirō, who was pulling the thunder, was also in the final stage.
There is no way out for anyone!
No mistakes can be made!
Rustle—clang!
Sekiro's shiny wedge-shaped forehead reflected spots of golden light.
There was violent lightning leaping in Genichirō's eyes.
call--
Boring!
Amid the crisp sound of golden bells, the two of them briefly staggered and separated!
Genichirō turned around and drew his bow and shot three arrows in a row, but they were all bounced off by Sekiro!
Husha! Sha!
Two consecutive words hit his head, ding-dong, and Genichirō caught them steadily!
As figures intertwined, swords swept across the sky, and fierce sparks flew everywhere!
When the two separated again, they saw that Genichirō had used the same trick again. He jumped high into the air, attracted thunder from the sky, and drew his bow and arrow!
“Here it comes!”
Then I heard a loud shout!
Zizi--Crack!!!
A huge golden thunder shot out from mid-air.
But this time, Sekiro did not retreat but advanced. He took a step forward and leaped high. He swung the wedge ball in his hand and caught the golden thunderbolt exactly!
Then, he twisted his waist and spun in the air.
Thunder returns!
The thunder is returned!
Sizzle——!
A huge bolt of lightning struck Genichirō in an instant, paralyzing his entire body with the electric shock!
boom--!!!
The live broadcast room exploded instantly!
'ohhhhhhhh——'
'I am lightning!!!'
"This is so cool!!!"
'Who can stand this?'
'No one! Can! Withstand! The Thunder Return!'
"I can't stand it anymore. I can't stand it anymore. It's just over fifty dollars. I'll buy it. Can't I?"
'The wind blows the drums and the mountains and rivers shake, the lightning flashes and the flags rise high as the sun and the moon!'
"Shocked—"
'I got goosebumps.'
"I can't imagine what it's like to successfully return to the world in the somatosensory cabin."
'This gaming career is worth it'
'indeed……'
"……"
There was a sensation!
A huge red dot of Ninja Killing appeared!
Zi Yu stepped forward and thrust at his waist, then stabbed him -
Huff!
Kushimaru stabbed hard into Genichirō's chest!
This moment!
All the wind and lightning seemed to subside.
"Reed...name..."
Gulp.
Genichirō's body fell to the ground weakly.
And in all the live broadcast rooms that watched this moment, there was an uproar!
Handsome!
Under the shocking pictures, the top-level visual presentation unique to 3S-level masterpieces is so thrilling.
readily!
A thrilling battle, with three stages of bloody battles closely linked and thrilling.
Wonderful!
The action sequences designed and presented by the action team led by Kenji Tanigaki are exquisite, sharp and romantic.
Shock!
From the beautiful scenery of the castle tower to the explosiveness of Genichirō's moves, everything is filled with the wild imagination of the Golden Wind Steel Chain Finger Team and supernova designer Gu Sheng.
Wonderful! Very enjoyable!
Almost in an instant!
Players all over the world exclaimed, "This is a ceiling-level game segment comparable to the TTF time-stopping level!"
And among them.
Japanese players are the craziest!
Some were screaming, some were running wild, and some were just shouting " Gu Shengsama is the God of the gaming world."
Even in front of nearly one million viewers in the live broadcast room, the anchor Yingshu walked out of the somatosensory cabin directly after defeating Genichirō, knelt down in the direction of China, and began to kowtow!
“Authentic Japanese food in China!”
"Gu Shengsama! Believer Yingshu is here to pay homage!"
"From now on, all games produced by Golden Wind! Believers must play them! All games supervised by Gu Shengsama! Believers must participate!"
"Golden Wind on board!"
"Gu Shengsama on board!"
“Onboard——!!!”
Although it cannot be ruled out that Yingshu, as a rat channel anchor, is suspected of doing some abstract work.
But that excited expression and trembling voice couldn't deceive anyone.
Even if he didn't perform such a grand worship in front of the camera, the excitement and joy in his heart were absolutely real!
However!!!
Just when all the players thought that the battle with Genichirō on the castle tower was the limit of this game!
The truly amazing masterpiece has just begun——
…
After defeating Genichirō, all the players breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Genichirō, who had become a corpse, stood up again.
It turned out that before this, Genichirō had already taken something called [Henryaku no Yodo].
This thing can make people immortal in another way, but the price is that they gradually become monsters who lose their minds.
Yes, in the world of Sekiro, there are three ways to achieve immortality:
Dragon's Embryo, Transformation and Parasite.
Among these three ways of eternal life, the power of dragon's heritage is the origin and the gift of the dragon.
As for the other two, they were both failed replicas of the power of Dragon's Heritage.
Drinking the water will drive one crazy, and those possessed by insects will turn into centipede human pupae.
The reason why there is such a magical and powerful power of immortality in Ashina is that.
The reason is that there is a place called "Genji Palace" on the Yundian Mountains not far from Ashina Province.
The object enshrined in the Palace of Origin is a dragon that comes from a distant and mysterious place.
People call it the Sakura Dragon.
The power of Dragon's Heritage comes from the gift of the Sakura Dragon.
However, although it is a gift, all so-called gifts are secretly marked with a price.
Although those who obtain the power of Dragon's Heir will be immortal, the price is that every time they are resurrected, they will drain the life force of everyone nearby and spread the plague-like "Dragon Cough".
In other words, although Jiulang possesses the power of Dragon's Heritage, he is theoretically immortal.
But as time goes by, the entire Hirata family, and even the entire Ashina country, will sooner or later be infected with dragon cough because of him, and eventually the country will be destroyed.
This is not a gift at all.
On the contrary, it is a curse.
And this is one of the reasons why Jiulang is unwilling to share the power of Dragon's Heritage with Genichirō.
Today, Genichirō has gone mad in his obsession with protecting Ashina Country.
If he obtained Kuro's dragon power like the wolf, the entire Ashina country would be doomed.
By then, although the inner court might be repelled, Ashina Province would also become a dead city.
Therefore, Jiulang wants to cut off the immortality.
According to the information Jiulang found, if one wants to cut off immortality, one first needs a weapon that can completely kill an immortal person - the Immortal Slash.
It is said that the Immortal Slash is in the distant Xianfeng Temple.
However, during an accidental eavesdropping, Wolf accidentally learned that Jiulang's so-called severing of immortality actually came at the cost of his life .
Either him or Jiulang.
When Jiulang died and Long Yin's power disappeared, he returned to being a normal human.
After his death, Long Yin's power was cut off, and Jiulang returned to being a normal person.
For wolves.
This is not a multiple-choice question at all.
Because for him, it was as early as three years ago, when Jiulang gave him the power of Dragon's Heritage and the two signed a blood contract.
The knife in his hand was unsheathed only to protect Jiulang.
Therefore, this man who was always silent like a lone wolf, after much questioning, finally learned from Miss Yongzhen the method to make Jiulang return to normal.
The specific method is to find the two materials, "Tears of Sakura Dragon" and "Flowers of Evergreen Sakura", and feed them to Jiulang.
Afterwards, he had to sever his own self with the Immortal Slash in order to sever the Dragon's lineage and allow Jiulang to return to being a normal human.
And from this moment on!
More jaw-dropping monsters, more terrifying scenes, and more bizarre areas are coming one after another.
The battle with Genichirō was just the appetizer.
Because from this moment on!
Gu Sheng and his "Sekiro" will hold their heads high and truly——
Towards the altar!!!
