Chapter 748: Chapter 606: A Life for a Life_2 Chapter 748: Chapter 606: A Life for a Life_2 “He did everything, saved my life, and even helped obtain the Flower of Eternal Darkness, but in the end, I could only abandon him.”
“I understand the gravity of the situation, but that doesn’t an I think such a choice is right.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi’s voice was clear and firm.
“Right or wrong?”
Yatagarasu iryu turned around, “You really haven’t grown up, still holding onto a child’s view of right and wrong.”
He gave a wry shake of his head, Yatagarasu iryu did not want to stay here any longer.
“Hey, iryu!”
Kensumi’s voice suddenly rose, “You can find Konoha, can’t you? Tell , if I die on the path of avenging Roger, won’t everything in Hankawa belong to you?”
Yatagarasu Kensumi had laid bare the conflict between himself and iryu.
Boom!
A black whirlwind exploded, the terrible power bursts forth from Yatagarasu iryu’s body, and even with serious injuries, Yatagarasu iryu’s combat strength at that mont far surpassed Kensumi’s.
Slowly turning around, under Yatagarasu iryu’s calm face seed to rest a dormant volcano.
“What did you say?” he scoffed coldly.
“Where were you when I was fighting for Hankawa?!”
“Get your position straight; the prestige of Hankawa was forged by and my foster father, and you?”
“What are you?'”
He eyed Yatagarasu Kensumi, “Since you seem to be seeking death, I shall grant your wish.”
“I will find out Konoha’s whereabouts for you.”
“Revenge?”
“Even with a sneak attack, you don’t stand much of a chance!”
Having said that, he didn’t spare Yatagarasu Kensumi another glance and walked away with big strides.
“Do you know why my foster father didn’t like you?”
Yatagarasu iryu’s voice ca from afar, piercing through Kensumi’s heart amidst the snowstorm.
“Because from the very beginning, he knew you were useless!”
Yatagarasu Kensumi’s face turned pale abruptly; he clenched his teeth, and his breathing beca rapid.
The events in the Land of Eternal Darkness flashed before his eyes, and Yatagarasu Kensumi knew, the choice he had made went completely against the teachings of Sword Master Cold Crow.
Kensumi heard Yatagarasu iryu’s mockery, and the gates in front of him closed, separating him and Yatagarasu iryu into two different worlds.
Yatagarasu Kensumi stood still, not moving, until a while later when Yuuki Nao’s cautious voice reached him.
“Sword Master Kensumi…”
Yuuki Nao’s voice was tight, as she was obviously very worried.
Yatagarasu Kensumi said nothing and left with his head down.
Before long, a wealth of information had co into Yatagarasu Kensumi’s hands.
Flounder Mountain.
That was the site of Konoha Shrine.
Yuuki Nao’s face was pale; she knew full well that if Yatagarasu Kensumi appeared alone near Flounder Mountain,
he would surely face an onslaught from the whole shrine.
What the Tengu Divine Master feared was not Hankawa but Sword Master Cold Crow; he was apprehensive about the madness of Sword Master Cold Crow in his dying monts.
As for iryu and Kensumi, if the ti was right, the people of Tengu Shrine would show no rcy.
“Sword Master Kensumi, must you really go?”
Yuuki Nao asked in a grave voice.
“That Roger has already died, and there’s no sense in you doing this.”
The previous conversation had already made Yuuki Nao aware of the cause and effect.
“Indeed, it makes no sense.”
“But it’s what I should do.”
“I’m going too!!”
Yuuki Nao said with determination.
“Stay, don’t distract .”
Yatagarasu Kensumi pushed the door and left the room.
“Sword Master Kensumi, you’re still young, wait another few years, once you enter the Sword Master rank, all the hatred can be easily…”
“It’s not the sa.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi stopped in his tracks.
“You’re all mistaken about one thing,” he said, raising his head to look into the vast whiteness before him.
“I was the one who killed him. Going there now isn’t about revenge.”
“It’s about repaying a life.”
As he spoke, Yatagarasu Kensumi soared into the sky like a great bird.
anwhile, in the room of Sword Master Cold Crow, the elderly man put down his empty wine cup.
“He left?”
“Yes, foster father.”
Yatagarasu Akiryu replied.
“I thought he was just acting on impulse,” iryu began, but was interrupted by Sword Master Cold Crow before he could continue.
“Do you want to bring him back?”
Yatagarasu Akiryu asked with his head lowered.
Just then, a noise ca from outside the door. Michihiro Morita entered the room holding a box, “Sword Master, this is the weapon I forged using the thod from before.”
Sword Master Cold Crow opened the wooden box, which contained a snow-white Longsword. He reached out, his withered fingers tightly pressing against the blade of the sword.
Slowly, the snow-white blade seed to be infused with dark ink, and soon the Longsword’s color changed.
Sword Master Cold Crow seed much more relaxed, he sighed and looked at Yatagarasu Akiryu, who was kneeling beside him.
“Take this sword, bring Kensumi back. They won’t kill Roger easily, you must save him.”
“And by the way… destroy the Konoha Shrine!”
Yatagarasu Akiryu looked up, a trace of shock flickering in his eyes.
…
“Boom!”
Roger appeared from the shadows, his hand exploding the head of an Onmyoji, blood dripping down, so of it flowing to the ground, while the majority was absorbed by Roger’s body.
A rich red light flashed and vanished; Roger composed himself, his eyes clear and bright.
After issuing his challenge, Roger didn’t imdiately leave but hid in the dark depths of the bamboo forest. It wasn’t long before the Onmyoji from Tengu Shrine arrived at the sealed area.
What they didn’t expect was that the cage didn’t contain a stray dog, but a ferocious tiger.
Roger struck like a phantom, with Uma’s help, he killed several Onmyoji and, with the influence of the Axis Dharma Seal and Uma’s abilities, extracted a lot of information from the minds of the dead Onmyoji.
Gathering these scattered pieces of information, a plan gradually took shape in Roger’s mind.
Higurashi Gushan was only a temporary visitor; he didn’t know when the enemy might leave. He had to be quick and inflict the maximum damage on the Shrine in the shortest possible ti.
Having attracted so attention, the subsequent Onmyoji arriving at the area no longer dared to enter alone.
Roger could guess their strategy, but that was also exactly what he intended to do. Before the arrival of powerful Cultivators, it was Roger’s ti to leave.
From the mories of several dead Onmyoji, Roger confird his current location. By attracting a portion of powerful Cultivators, Konoha Shrine would beco relatively empty.
Unlike Ran’ei Shrine, the Konoha Tengu managing Konoha Shrine wasn’t a strong Divine Master. Roger believed that if he could catch them off guard, with his current power, he could definitely give them a huge surprise.
It would be hard for him alone, but with the influence of Shadow Cottage, the help of the Elder of Shadows, and especially the divine assistance from Higurashi Gushan…
Way of the Asura—Slaughter!
To kill with killing, to cultivate into an Asura with blood, building up Asura’s power through continuous killing. The more Asura’s power accumulated, the longer and more powerful the Asura state would be.
If enough people were killed, this is a terrifying trait that could theoretically approach Higurashi Gushan’s power indefinitely.
In addition, as a temporary visitor, a part of Higurashi Gushan’s power could also be bestowed upon Roger.
The strengths of others like Amanda were too low; the traits and power boosts they provided Roger earlier had little effect.
But Higurashi Gushan was different, his own power far exceeded Roger’s, and even if only a small part could be converted, the boost was significant.
With the power of Slaughter, the more Roger killed, the stronger he’d get!
Noticing the changes in his surroundings, waiting for the right mont, Roger’s body disappeared from the spot. Once free from constraints, he headed towards Flounder Mountain.
Roger was fast, and by the ti he arrived at the mountain, he did not conceal his tracks, charging straight towards the Shrine at the summit.
A rare opportunity.
Hmm… it was ti for a bold move.
But just when Roger thought he was going to face overwhelming resistance, from the bottom to the mid-mountain, he only encountered a few scattered figures.
A surge of Spiritual Power Fluctuations ca from not far away, accompanied by a familiar voice.
“How foolish!”
“The Spiritual Power Fluctuation of Yatagarasu has no way to hide on Flounder Mountain. You actually thought you could sneak in here?”
It was Konoha Tengu.
Roger’s face brightened, his form flickering as he leaped into mid-air.
At a certain spot on the mid-mountain, Roger saw Konoha wearing a Tengu Mask, and aside from him, there was another person being attacked by several Onmyoji.
That person was extrely fast, his spear dancing, it was Yatagarasu Kensumi.
“You dared to co to on your own?”
“You think we would hesitate to kill you because of your father?”
Konoha Tengu let out a wild laugh, but his laughter stopped abruptly the next second as the Sword of Destiny, gleaming with red light, pierced through his throat.
Roger slapped him on the top of his head, a brittle sound followed, and then the sky filled with wood chips.
“Another fake?” Roger snorted coldly.
At this mont, Yatagarasu Kensumi, who was under attack by everyone, looked up in astonishnt.
“Ro… Roger?!”
