Chapter 176: Zhu Xian Formation, start!
Chapter 176: Zhu Xian Formation, start!
The first to determine the outcome was Asakusa Ruri, who was extremely familiar with the methods of the Imperial Family.
The saintly masters such as Otomo Hideaki were not wrong in calling her that. Thousands of years ago, she was indeed a fox demon. In order to become a god, she occupied hundreds of shrines, which angered the contemporary emperor.
Unfortunately, Fuso was only one of the five countries in this land at that time, so it was naturally unable to stop Asakusa Ruri. Not only was the contemporary emperor killed, but the inheritance was also plundered by her.
Even after thousands of years of development, the essence remains the same. As long as she finds the pattern, Asakusa Ruri will find the loophole.
She suddenly changed into her true form, and her nine tails rolled up, breaking through the woman's defensive barrier.
The demigod thought to himself that this was not good, but it was too late.
A tail that seemed illusory but actually real hit her forehead, and a spirit that looked exactly like the woman was knocked out of her body.
The remaining eight tails rotated and tore the woman's body apart in an instant, but not a single drop of blood was left as it was all absorbed into the tails.
Asakusa Ruri opened her mouth, swallowed the woman's soul, and temporarily sealed it in her body.
She also knew that Ashiyamiya Zhihong and his group of demigods were watching secretly, so she naturally couldn't waste any more energy. So she made the same choice as him, sealing him temporarily and waiting to kill him slowly later.
Still in her true form, Asakusa Ruri rushed out of the palace and ran towards Ash.
When the energy fluctuations of Tiansheng Palace subsided, Otomo Yingming suddenly cried out inwardly that something was wrong. With a glance, he saw a golden nine-tailed fox rushing towards him with lightning on its feet.
"Retreat!" Otomo Yingming made a quick decision and shouted.
He is not a loyal or stupid person. Since he cannot go against his will, of course the most important thing is to save his life. Anyway, with his strength, he is a guest of honor wherever he goes.
Otomo Hideaki wanted to withdraw, and Ash was naturally happy to see it happen.
There's not much benefit in killing him. Even if he causes trouble later, we can just kill him again. The more important thing now is to deal with Ashiyamiya Zhihong.
He is the one with whom he has an irreconcilable conflict.
Otomo Hideaki and his two demigods evacuated, and Ash watched Otomo Hideaki leave while he was trying to digest the energy.
The world suddenly became quiet, but everyone knew that this was not the end.
Otomo Hideaki and the two demigods did not retreat far away either. Although they were guests of honor wherever they went, it was not as comfortable as being in the territory they had worked so hard to build.
He was waiting for Ash and Ashiya Shihiro to fight, so that he might still have a chance to win.
It was this mentality of taking chances that ruined him.
"Together?" A voice sounded in Ash's ears.
"Together." Ash nodded.
The next moment, Ash ran like thunder and attacked Otomo Hideaki again.
A black shadow also rushed out from behind Otomo Hideaki and stabbed Otomo Hideaki with a knife.
Puff! This sudden accident made Otomo Yingming extremely angry: "Ryuzen, you dare to betray me!"
"How can I betray you if I'm not loyal?" After Honda Ryuzen hit the target with one strike, he immediately retreated thousands of miles away.
The Thousand-Armed Demon God also suddenly attacked the Double Dragon Demon God, putting Otomo Hideaki and Ash in a one-on-one situation.
Otomo Hideaki wanted to fight back, but he felt that his mental power was very slow, and he immediately knew that he was poisoned.
It was too late to drink medicine to detoxify. Otomo Yingming looked at Ash who raised his sword and shouted, "Wait, I am willing to surrender!"
However, Ash's sword swung without any hesitation. Six sword lights slashed continuously, breaking Otomo Yingming's protective magic weapon and cutting off Otomo Yingming's body.
Then the sea of blood rolled up and swallowed him.
If he dared to accept Otomo Hideaki's surrender, Ashiyamiya Shihiro would definitely take the opportunity to kill him in secret.
This also suited Otomo Hideaki's purpose, to take advantage of the fight between Ash and Ashiyamiya Shihiro to get out of the dangerous situation.
So Ash had no choice but to kill him, since his death was not worth it anyway.
After temporarily suppressing Otomo Hideaki with the sea of blood, Ash turned around and killed the Thousand-armed Demon God. It was obvious that this demon god was from Ashiya Shihiro's side, so now there was a chance to weaken him, so he had to weaken him.
But seeing that the uncertain factor of Otomo Hideaki has been eliminated, Ashiya Tomohiro naturally wants to eliminate the most threatening enemy group of Ash.
The hidden demigods rushed out one after another and joined forces to kill Ash and Asakusa Ruri.
All of a sudden, three more demigods joined the battlefield.
The pressure on Ash and Victoria doubled. As for Asakusa Ruri, she had already gone to deal with Ashiya Shihiro who appeared.
The red thread weaved, and a figure with hips wider than shoulders was pulled into the battlefield.
It's Karisan.
Carissa glanced at the battlefield, then immediately held back the three new demigods.
Ash and Victoria pulled away and attacked the Thousand-Armed Demon.
As for the two dragon ghosts, they took the opportunity to run away when the three demigods appeared.
If it doesn't run away, it will be waiting to die. Both sides fighting now are stronger than it.
Three heads and six arms, Yinglong's true body, sword unlock, heaven and earth sword domain.
Ash used all the blessings he could, and in just a few moments, he cooperated with Victoria to cut off all the hands of the Thousand-Armed Demon.
Let me in!
Secret: [Blue Sky and Blood]
The sky was dyed red like a gem, and accompanied by a sharp howl from the Thousand-Armed Ghost, its body broke into thousands of pieces and fell into the sea of blood.
On the other side, Ashiyamiya Shihiro frowned because the backup plan he left on Asakusa Ruri did not work.
This really surprised him. He had been using this trick for so long, but this was the first time it was cracked.
Fortunately, he had more than one backup plan prepared.
Taking out a golden plush doll, Ashiya Shihiro said in a clear voice: "Asakusa Ruri, I order you to sleep for a day!"
Asakusa Ruri suddenly felt sleepy and she couldn't open her eyelids no matter how hard she tried.
Ashiya Shihiro's order just happened to be stuck on her instinctive warning line. If she received orders such as suicide or attacking Ash, she would still have a chance to break free from this control under the instinct of survival or the instinct of her family.
But a one-day deep sleep neither threatened her life nor violated her main consciousness, making it impossible for her to resist the sleepiness from her soul.
Asakusa Ruri curled up on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
The talisman paper in Ashiya Shihiro's hand burned, and a layer of golden light enveloped Asakusa Ruri. This was a protection and a seal to prevent Ash from suddenly waking Asakusa Ruri up with an attack.
Ash and Carlisan looked at each other, and Carlisan immediately left her three opponents and ran towards Ashiya Shihiro.
The three demigods wanted to rush to help, but were stopped by Ash and Victoria.
The situation was once again in a balance, and Ashiya Shihong did not expect that Ash could summon another powerful demigod to enter the scene.
Now both sides are competing to see who will give up first.
Ashiya Shihiro thought that Ash would be the first to collapse. After all, he could see that Ash was not a demigod and could not maintain his peak combat power for a long time.
But Ash is a freak beyond everyone's expectations.
In the sea of blood, the corpses of the ghost king and ghost gods were being digested rapidly and continuously transformed into energy to maintain [Life Bloom]. Although this would be a bit wasteful, Ash could afford this bit of waste.
Two single Ashes were assigned to hold down the two demigods, while the multi-headed and multi-armed Ash cooperated with Victoria to attack one demigod.
However, the three demigods had known about this scene for a long time, and sometimes they would rather take a hit, and the two demigods who were held back would rush to help the other demigod.
However, [Ashura] has a unique skill that becomes stronger with each battle, and the power of faith of those ghost kings and ghost gods is still being absorbed by Ash, and his strength is still increasing.
The pressure on the three demigods gradually increased with time.
At a certain period of time, Ash suddenly roared, and the sea of blood ignited with blood flames. His momentum rose to another level. He burned his blood to promote his strength again.
The six swords were pitch black, with a strong aura of destruction flowing out, and Ash slashed at the demigod entangled by Victoria.
Seeing this, the other two demigods did not hesitate. They ignored the single Ash who was also performing the ultimate move and pounced on the real Ash with three heads and six arms.
They unleashed two powerful mysteries in an attempt to stop Ash's attack.
They succeeded and they failed.
Because Ash, who had known this scene through his future vision, immediately regressed to the state of one head and two arms, but one of his clones suddenly entered the state of three heads and six arms.
Boom!
There was no defense, or it was useless to be prepared, as a move that seemed to destroy the world was taken firmly by a demigod.
The destructive energy spread, tearing the demigod into blood mist, and then the sea of blood rolled up and swallowed the blood mist completely.
If one of the three is gone, the remaining one is obviously no match for Ash.
Three seconds later, another demigod was chopped into a bloody mist by Ash, and then swallowed by the sea of blood.
Another three seconds passed, and the last demigod was torn into pieces and swallowed by the scarlet blood wave.
However, after killing these three demigods, Ash did not rush to rescue Carissa, but stayed where he was.
Because he was stretched.
Otomo Hideaki, Thousand Hands Demon God, the three demigods just now, and a bunch of demon kings and demons. Even he, apart from saving some energy to protect himself, put all his remaining energy on the food that was still churning in his "stomach". It was good enough that he didn't vomit it out now, and he had no energy left to help Karisan.
Fortunately, Victoria still had some energy left, so she ran straight to the sleeping Asakusa Ruri, intending to wake her up.
This made Ashiya Zhihong sigh. Ash's strength was really beyond his expectations. He could even suppress three demigods.
Forget it, I can only use the back hand.
Ashiya Tomohiro suddenly formed seals with his hands, and then eight blood pillars rose from all over Kyoto, and then a knight on a huge horse descended here.
Bloody fight, Xavier!
Ash recognized his old friend immediately.
Sure enough, Tzeentch did not miss the opportunity to strike Khorne.
Ash looked at Xavier who was rushing towards him, sighed, and without hesitation, he used the red thread that had been prepared on his fingertips to weave a person from thousands of miles away.
The palace robe embroidered with dragon patterns wrapped her exquisite figure, and her cold face quietly looked at Xavier who was already within reach.
He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and smashed it, as if the world was collapsing.
boom!
Xavier, one of the most powerful chosen ones under Khorne, was smashed into a pile of blood mist.
Then he clenched his hands, and endless gravitational force burst out. The blood mist that was just spreading immediately shrank and condensed into a blood pill the size of a fist.
"Yours." The woman threw the blood pill in front of Ash.
Without hesitation, with the dark golden flame in his mouth, Ash bit the blood pill directly, frantically purifying and absorbing the energy inside.
This scene made Ashiya Shihiro's pupils shrink. This iconic method made him immediately recognize who the woman summoned by Ash was.
Empress of the Chonglong Empire, Chongming!
What the hell, he can summon a strong man of this level whenever he wants? !
Ashiya Shihiro looked at Ash.
Ash also noticed Ashiya Shihiro's gaze, then grinned, and dark golden flames burst out from his mouth.
It turns out that if the strength is not up to par, no matter how good the strategy is, it will be useless.
Ashiyamiya Zhihong sighed again, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes.
The intrusion of Empress Chongming completely disrupted his plan. If it was just a powerful Chosen One like Ye Lin, he would still have a way to delay her.
But that was Chongming, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the number one person under the True God.
"Jianqi, come here." Ashiya Shihong opened his arms, and the changing green and purple flames flowed behind him. If you look closely, you can see pairs of eyes flashing from time to time.
The fire of change burned Ashiyamiya Shihiro's body, burning it into a twisted shape.
Chongming did not move. She saw that these evil gods' chosen ones were great supplements for Ash. In order to allow Ash to become a demigod as soon as possible, Ashiya Shihong naturally made the stronger the better.
The body became hunched, but the neck became slender, feathers covered the skin in layers, and the bones became light.
As the flames died down, a bird-man that looked like a vulture appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, Chongming moved. In an instant, she had already rushed in front of Ashiyamiya Zhihong and then punched him.
Ashiyamiya Zhihong seemed to have anticipated this punch. Although he did not move, he had already retreated to the side.
boom!
The fist force broke through the air and hit the ground, and then a bottomless hole suddenly appeared on the ground, which showed the concentration of the attack.
Chongming's attack missed.
Chongming glanced around with her phoenix eyes and was a little surprised. The intensity of Ashiyamiya Zhihong's reinforcement was a little beyond her expectations.
But it was still within her control.
Ashiyamiya Zhihong saw something, reached out his hand, and caught a red line.
The sharp nails pinched it off, and Ash and Chongming's faces changed slightly, because they both noticed that the time the red thread lasted suddenly disappeared.
Quick victory!
Without Ash's reminder, Chongming moved close to Ashiya Shihong, and endless gravity exploded around her. This time she would not give him a chance to escape.
She threw a punch, which was like a black hole, as if everything would be destroyed under her fist.
The fire of change burned wildly, and Ashiyamiya Zhihong tried desperately to predict the attack, but it seemed that he could not avoid the punch.
Since you can't avoid it, just face it.
Ashiyamiya Zhihong turned into flames and slammed into Chongming's fist, as if he was seeking death.
Bang! Brilliant fireworks like iron flowers bloomed over the city.
died?
Ash narrowed his eyes and stared at the scattered fires of change, and then the sea of blood rose up in huge waves, trying to swallow all those sparks.
But those sparks seemed to have intelligence and knew that they would be in trouble if they fell into the sea of blood, so the nearest sparks quickly gathered together.
One third of the sparks were swallowed by the sea of blood, and the remaining sparks condensed into vultures of different sizes, staring at Ash and the others with their green eyes.
Chongming began to kill these vultures, and Victoria and others also joined in the encirclement.
But as the chosen ones of Tzeentch, what they are best at is finding a way out of desperate situations.
Some turned into scattered feathers, some exploded into sparks, but the vultures could not be killed no matter how hard they tried, and they would bite off a red thread from time to time.
First it was Victoria, then Carissa, and finally Chongming, all of whom were teleported back because the time of the [Red Thread] was up.
Apart from the blood wave that had just been stirred up, Ash did not make any other moves. He just watched silently as the vultures wasted the time of Chongming and the others.
On the panel invisible to everyone, Ash's achievement points were dropping at an alarming rate.
Kyoto, which had been bustling just a moment ago, became strangely silent again, and hundreds of vultures stared at Ash silently.
The vultures slowly gathered together to form a birdman that looked like a vulture.
[Achievement Points: 720]
Ash glanced at his achievement points. The original achievement points were 840, plus the 36 achievement points provided by the reputation achievement settlement and Dream Beast Hunter, which originally should have been 876 points, but he just consumed 156 points.
As for where did the missing 156 points go?
Ash looked at Ashiya Shihong and suddenly grinned. It was not bad to end like this.
The sea of blood suddenly surged, and one hundred and eight Ash suddenly walked out, surrounding Ashiya Shihiro in a strange formation.
Ashiyamiya Zhihong took a quick glance and realized that this was a formation, and its effect should be a killing formation, but its complexity was far beyond his expectations.
He couldn't figure out where the center of the formation was for a moment.
Ashiyamiya Zhihong was waiting silently. He was recovering his energy. In order to outlast Chongming and others, he did not pay any price.
His current strength has fallen to the level of an ordinary demigod, and most of his soul power has been consumed.
Ash also noticed Ashiya Shihiro's condition, so he was not panicked at all.
The second body walked out of Ash's body and then split into four, forming the four elemental spirits of earth, wind, water, and fire.
[Body of All Things] is activated, the wind element becomes the Juexian Sword, the fire element becomes the Luxian Sword, the water element becomes the Xianxian Sword, and the earth element becomes the Zhuxian Sword.
When the four swords fell into the formation, the world suddenly became quiet, as if this world had become independent.
Zhu Xian Sword, rise!
Ashiyamiya Zhihong suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness and immediately turned into thousands of flying birds, trying to escape.
"Excellent Immortal!"
With a light shout, infinite wind rose between the isolated heaven and earth, breaking the changes of Ashiyamiya Zhihong.
After they reunited, Ashiya Shihiro looked at Ash awkwardly.
"Fall into the fairy!"
But Ash's calm voice would not be hindered by Ashiya Shihiro's gaze.
The heavy water drops fell and trapped Ashiyamiya Zhihong.
"Kill the Immortal!"
A red light rose up and directly pierced into Ashiyamiya Shihiro's body at a speed unimaginable for ordinary people.
Ashiya Shihiro's face changed drastically, because this sword actually killed his divine fire directly. How could it be possible!
The power to predict the future is activated frantically, and Ashiya Shihiro wants to find a way to survive.
But it’s a dead end, a dead end, and a dead end!
Fate had already determined his death.
"Who are you?" Ashiya Shihiro shouted unwillingly.
The only thing that answered him was Ash's calm voice:
"Zhu Xian!"
A flash of golden light passed by, so sharp that it could even cut off concepts.
The bird's head fell off and was then swallowed by the sea of blood.
Ashiya Miya Shihiro, die!
