Chapter 153 Killing the Snake
"Oh, isn't this our Ghost Princess? I am sorry for not welcoming you."

When Kurozumi Orochi saw Yamato, he stood up, pulled up his trousers, and his face reeked of alcohol.

Yamato frowned subconsciously when he saw the look on Kurozumi Orochi's face, but he did not forget Lu Li's instructions and walked forward with Lu Li, "General, we are here to discuss something important."

Orochi acted very enthusiastic, as if he had completely forgotten that this was the venue for the Gin Party. He walked quickly forward and stretched out his hand to pull Yamato to sit down.

Yamato had a look of disgust on his face, but he still did not avoid it. He followed Kurozumi Orochi to the inside, while Lu Li followed closely behind, observing the deployment of troops around him.

The ninja leader of Oniwaban should be hiding in an invisible place in this room. His lurking ability is outstanding. Lu Li is not sure about his exact location, but he just feels the vague gaze.

In addition, the most difficult person to deal with for ordinary people is the old man who follows closely behind the Kurozumi Snake like a shadow.

This monk-like old man is called Kurozumi Chanmaru, a member of the Kurozumi family. He used to live overseas and is a user of the Barrier Fruit ability who has developed the fruit ability very well.

Because Kurozumi Orochi was a member of his own family and had fulfilled the Kurozumi family's ambition to become a general, and as the biggest representative of their group's interests, he was extremely alert every day in protecting Kurozumi Orochi.

Even though the visitors were Kaido's daughters and there were rumors that they were here to deliver food, Kurozumi Chanmaru did not take it lightly and was always on the lookout for Lu Li and Yamato.

After understanding the defense arrangements here, Lu Li felt relieved.

It seems that the decision to meet Orochi directly today was the right choice. Because Kurozumi Orochi is having a silver party tonight, the security forces nearby are not very strong.

There was no super powerful person like Kyoushiro, and the Oniwaban were outside gathering information, and because he and Yamato expressed dissatisfaction, they no longer followed and monitored them, so the only defending forces in the room at this time were the leader of the Oniwaban and Kurozumi Tanimaru.

It's not that Kurozumi Orochi is not vigilant enough, but he trusts Kurozumi Chanmaru's power too much. After all, even someone as strong as Kozuki Oden could not break through Kurozumi Chanmaru's protection and kill him. Now in Wano Country, he can get whatever he wants, and he doesn't think that there will be any strong person coming to assassinate him.

Lu Li and Yamato exchanged glances. The tacit understanding they had developed over the past few days made them understand each other's intentions.

Yamato remembered the plan Lu Li had told her before. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she decided to trust Lu Li.

Lu Li told her at that time that she didn't need to carry a weapon, namely her mace, as that would alert the Black Charcoal Snake, so she gave the mace to Lu Li, who said he would return it to her when needed.

Lu Li himself did not carry any weapons, so Yamato couldn't figure out how Lu Li was going to assassinate Kurozumi Orochi.

After all, it is difficult to kill someone in an instant with fists and feet. Kurozumi Orochi is a user of the ability of a mythical beast after all. As long as he does not die immediately, the guards around him will react immediately. Kurozumi Chanmaru will protect him, and the main force of the Oniwaban will arrive within tens of seconds.

But Lu Li didn't explain too much, just asked Yamato to believe him.

"Princess Ghost has come here this time, but what does King Ming have to say?"

Kurozumi Orochi led Yamato forward, but suddenly, he had a bad feeling in his heart, and before he could react, he was pulled backwards by Kurozumi Chanmaru.

Yamato's acting skills were terrible. Once she decided to take action, she subconsciously revealed her murderous intent, which allowed the sharp-sighted Kurozumi Chanmaru to react.

Kurozumi Chanmaru's idea was very simple. Regardless of whether he had misunderstood or not, he would first open the barrier to protect himself and Kurozumi Orochi, and everything would be fine after that.

And at the moment when he pulled the big snake to open the barrier, he also saw that the man in black standing next to Yamato suddenly had a long sword in his hand and assumed an advancing Iai posture.

Lu Li saw that Kurozumi Chanmaru had reacted, and he was not disappointed with Yamato's acting skills. After all, without Yamato's identity, they would not be able to approach Kurozumi Orochi so smoothly. As long as he met Kurozumi Orochi and there were no top-level strongmen around him, the head of the Orochi would be in his hands.

The next moment, an invisible aura of pressure spread from Yamato. As Lu Li said, she activated the domineering aura before taking action.

This action is not to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers, but the domineering aura has a natural deterrent effect. Even if you cannot make a strong man lose consciousness, it may make him stunned for a moment.

In addition, her identity is supposed to be an ally of Kurozumi Orochi. The sudden release of her domineering aura will make the strong people around her unable to understand the situation. A misjudgment caused by a moment of hesitation will determine the outcome.

This was the case at the moment. Kurozumi Chanmaru, who didn't have so many thoughts and was determined to protect the big snake, was not affected. However, the leader of the Oniwaban who was lurking on the roof hesitated for a moment and did not have time to attack Lu Li and the others.

So, Lu Li moved.

The Demon Prisoner was released, and the power of the ghost god rose to the highest in an instant. Lu Li's body was covered with dark red domineering aura. When Liuying was fully released, the domineering aura spread to the Demon Prisoner's sword like flowing water. Even the outside of the scabbard was covered with a layer of dark red.

Then, accompanied by a sharp whistle, white mist gushed out of Lu Li's mouth. In a flash of lightning, the tatami on the ground flew backwards, and a sharp sonic boom sounded in the room!

Amid the roar of thunder, the howling of strong winds, and the piercing sound of sonic booms, the Demon Prisoner was unsheathed.

Lu Li's figure was as fast as a phantom. It was only a few meters away, but the opponent was already under his blade!
When the Black Charcoal Snake saw that Lu Li's attack was so powerful, he knew that this was a powerful swordsman who wanted to take his life as he had only seen such a fast attack from Kuang Shilang!

But he was not too afraid in his panic, because he believed in Kurozumi Chanmaru behind him. The other party had saved his life more than once. Even the strongest swordsman in Wano Country, Kozuki Oden, could not break his barrier, so he must be safe!
In the cracks of time, he seemed to have foreseen the scene where the knife was blocked and made a crisp sound in front of the barrier.

But the next moment, he and Kurozumi Chanmaru felt a flash before their eyes, and Lu Li entered the inner circle of the barrier. Before the two of them could figure out what was going on, the blade wrapped with flowing cherry blossoms had already cut across Kurozumi Orochi's neck.

The man rushed into the closed space with a strong wind, causing blood to flow horizontally. The sword cut off the head of the Black Charcoal Snake. With the blessing of the full-state Ryusakura, the Black Charcoal Snake, whose comprehensive attributes were less than 40 points, had no chance of survival.

Moreover, the remaining force of Lu Li's sword was not yet exhausted, and before Kurozumi Chanmaru could adjust his barrier, he cut him diagonally!
The strong wind collided repeatedly in the barrier, like a small tornado. The next moment, due to the death of the user of the Barrier Fruit, the barrier shattered and the whirlwind swept around, lifting up pieces of tatami and rolling up blood mist.

Lu Li stood on the two corpses, brandishing his sword with blood gushing out. Facing the attack coming from behind him, he did not dodge.

boom--

Fu Lu Shou's attack did not hit Lu Li, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

The eighty-first path of binding is to cut off the void.

The leader of the Oniwaban ninja, Fukurokushou, looked at Lu Li in shock and retreated under the recoil of the attack.

"Barrier Fruit!?"

He spoke in shock, because he felt that the power that just blocked his attack was too similar to the Barrier Fruit.

But wasn't Kurotan Chanmaru already dead? Even if he wasn't dead, there was no reason for him to help Lu Li block the attack?

Lu Li turned around slowly, sensing the ninjas rushing towards him from all directions, and said in a cold voice: "Kurozumi Orochi has rebelled and has been ordered to be executed by the Ming King. Do you want to die with him, or follow the new master?"

After hearing Lu Li's words, Yamato also stood up in cooperation, releasing his domineering aura, creating a perfect atmosphere. "My father, King Kaido, has appointed me as the new general of Wano Country. Are you guys going to rebel too?!"

The Oniwaban ninjas who arrived one after another saw that Kurozumi Orochi was dead, and heard the declarations of Lu Li and Yamato, and immediately stopped their attack.

Kurozumi Orochi is already dead. Do they really want to avenge the Orochi and kill Ming Wang's daughter?
No matter how you think about it, that is a real dead end!
Therefore, Fu Lu Shou, who attacked Lu Li first, was also the first to react. He knelt down first and said, "I am willing to follow General Yamato!"

Seeing their superior kneel down, the other Oniwaban ninjas also knelt down quickly, "We are willing to follow General Yamato!"

Lu Li felt relieved upon seeing this. At this point, his hidden mission was almost completed.

The difficulty in assassinating Kurozumi Orochi lies mainly in how to avoid a large number of troops approaching him, and how to retreat after killing him.

The barrier that ordinary people find difficult to break through is nothing compared to his ability of stepping on clouds and 'flash'. As long as there is no strong person on the scene who can react and kill him first, then it is a foregone conclusion that he will kill the big snake.

And these ninjas were originally spineless guys. In the original work, Kaido "killed" Kurozumi Orochi in public, and these ninjas rebelled and followed Kaido.

At the end of the day, these ninjas have no loyalty and will follow whoever has the power.

Now that Kurozumi Orochi is dead and Yamato is here, they might have attacked out of anger and impulse, but after Lu Li's shouting, they instantly understood their position and of course would not fight to the death anymore.

"Yamato, let them get up. The Shogun's mansion also needs to be cleaned up."

Lu Li reminded her, because after Yamato finished shouting, she kept maintaining the posture that she thought was so majestic, which looked a bit funny after a long time.

"Well, get up."

Yamato had a smile on her face as she spoke. She didn't expect that she could eliminate the Kurozumi Orochi so smoothly. She immediately felt that Brother Lu was indeed a brave and wise general.

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that she had no idea what to do after killing the Black Charcoal Snake and becoming a general, so she turned to look at Lu Li, "Brother Lu, what should we do next?"

Lu Li was a little confused. He was thinking that Yamato didn’t seem to be very smart. If he was gone in the future, would she really be able to govern Wano Country well?
But now that he has already boarded the pirate ship, he can only take it one step at a time and try his best to help Yamato stabilize the internal situation of Wano Country and improve it first.

"Is there a list of ninjas?"

Lu Li said after hesitating for a moment.

At this time, Fu Lu Shou, who had just stood up, was very smart. He stepped forward and said respectfully: "May I ask what should I call this great swordsman who has eliminated harm for the people?"

Lu Li felt disgusted and thought that this kind of person really has no moral integrity. He just attacked me from behind and tried to kill me, but now he has turned into a great swordsman who is trying to get rid of harm to the people.

"Brother Lu is my military advisor. From now on, he can inquire about all matters of the country of Wano, big or small, and he has the same management rights as me."

Yamato said that this was something she had thought about a long time ago. After all, she didn't think she was a smart person. If she wanted to govern Wano Country well, she had to rely on Brother Lu.
