Chapter 258 257 The Immortal Whirlpool


Chapter 258 257. The Undead Vortex

No matter what, Lan En has found a way to kill [Insect Possession].

Although this method is not economical and long-lasting, it is safer than splitting up to find the Immortal Slash.

It’s not that Lan En looks down on Kurokasa no Tanuki’s ability as a ninja, but Senhoji Temple is a large Japanese temple that can be regarded as a military fortress.

It is also a monk temple where everyone practices martial arts.

Now Kurokasa is cleaning up the ninjas not far from Lan En. If something happens, he can still take care of him, but if he wanders alone, looking for the Immortal Slash

Who knows, this temple is already like a devil's cave. How many things are there in this world that even he, the leader of the ninjas, doesn't know?

According to rumors, Master Xianfeng was a figure who existed when Xianfeng Temple was first built. He must have a much deeper understanding of this temple than Kurokasa.

Just when the demon hunters and ninjas were about to walk out of the side hall and continue to explore inside, there was the sound of heavy armor treading the ground behind them.

The two of them looked behind them and happened to see a tall, thin and majestic figure coming out of the corner.

Is it the armored Nanman who was suppressed by him, and there is Ashina Isshin wearing a Tengu mask?

The demon hunter was stunned for a moment, then realized.

Ashina Isshin’s official status does not allow him to take action against Senhoji, but it would be outrageous for a swordsman who can be called a [Sword Master] to be constrained by his official status. .

Wear a mask that hides your identity, or represents your private identity, and then comes out to kill people.

You said I am Isshin Ashina?

Wouldn’t it be better for me to hack you to death?

This is probably the brain circuit of [Sword Master].

"Lord Isshin." Lan En nodded to him, "I didn't expect you to be able to resist coming."

The witcher revealed his identity without much hesitation. .

After all, no one here cares about his official status.

The skinny old man also nodded indifferently: "Break into Xianfeng Temple and cause a scene. Well, I have fantasized about this when I was young. I didn't expect that I would actually have a chance to realize it when I am almost dead. It's all thanks to you. , boy.”

“As for this guy”

Ashina tilted the hilt of his sword and pointed at the armored Nanman beside him.

"Don't expect to be able to communicate with him. I guess he will burn out after breaking into Xianfeng Temple this time."

Old Robert is neither talking now nor There was no movement at all, just like an empty piece of armor.

That feeling reminded Lan En of his first meeting with Kurokasa no Raccoon at the edge of Longquan River.

A feeling that my heart has died.

Lan En frowned slightly.

"Isshin-sama, I didn't want him to see these scenes. At least he still has hope in his future life."

"I know you are kind-hearted, Lan En. But You don’t know as much about this kind of people as I do. For them, revenge means far more than the rest of their lives.”

Ashina's voice sounded indifferent at first to Robert Sr.'s condition.

But when I taste it carefully, I feel like I am recalling past regrets that have been relieved.

Is this a story about war?

Lan En thought silently that only in the most cruel social activities of mankind can he meet all kinds of strange people and things.

Isshin Ashina is a person who has led wars. He has seen many more people than Lan En.

The demon hunter no longer refutes him, and acquiesces to the decision to let the armored southern barbarian join in.

Among the four, the armored Nanman who had just started guarding the wooden bridge of Xianfeng Temple was the most anxious.

Immediately walked past Lan En and headed deeper into Xianfeng Temple outside the side hall.

While passing by Lan En, the Witcher vaguely heard a 'thank you' through the muffled sound of metal. The witcher did not turn to look at the man in heavy armor.

He didn't know whether this 'thank you' was because he exposed Xianfengji's lies, or because he didn't want the father who lost his child to get involved in the first place.

But in short, Lan En now clearly feels that the other party really doesn't care about anything except revenge.

"The remaining way is to attack by force."

Lan En shook his head, collected his thoughts and said as he walked.

"The people of Xianfeng Temple have damaged their brains by cultivating immortality. They gave up the defense of the temple and the weapons and equipment used for defense. They probably exchanged them all for research funds."

Saying that, Lan En nodded towards Kurokasa no Raccoon. This information was confirmed by him.

The black bamboo hat nodded up and down: "I confirm that this temple, which could withstand the siege of the army, now only has manpower as its defense method."

Ashina Isshin put his wrist on his waist On the hilt, walking with ease.

"Haha! That's really what I want. If we really face a well-protected fortress, our swords may not be as effective as this ninja. If it's just a human being, haha, I can definitely chop it down. !”

“Don’t be careless, Master Yishin.” The demon hunter is in a very rational state at this time. "Even if Kurokasa intercepted and killed many ninjas, the killing of these ninjas is news in itself. Small-scale encounters like the one on the mountain road just now that can catch the opponent off guard will never happen again."


"Isn't that better, Lan En?"

Under the red Tengu mask, Ashina Isshin's voice can be inexplicably reminiscent of a skinny smiling face.

The smile on that smiling face is sharp and bloody.

“Aren’t we just here to kill people? It’s much easier to find enemies swarming us than to find them.”

“That’s true.” Lan En said neatly The answer made Isshin Ashina slightly stunned, "So, you should be more careful for your aging body. Being too excited can induce cardiovascular disease."

"Uh haha! You are really interesting, Lan En!"

Ashina Yishin's heroic laughter did not look like it could come from that skinny and sickly body.

In Sansangen Hall, the deepest part of Xianfeng Temple, the Buddha, who is wearing a green monk's robe and showing his unusual identity, is reciting scriptures in a low voice in front of the Buddha statue in the main hall.

His physical condition is no better than that of the ordinary Buddha. From the cracked and broken skin, fibrotic muscles and centipedes can still be seen.

In the main hall, which was supposed to be spotless and resplendent to show the majesty of Buddhism, now centipedes, grasshoppers, dust and other dirty things are left unattended.

How can the illusory Buddhist principles compare to the immortal body where seeing is believing?

A tall ninja wearing a straw hat and holding a double-headed naginata came in from outside the main hall. He seemed to feel nothing strange and saluted respectfully towards the Buddha in green monk robes.

"Master, someone broke into the temple. We will go and stop him."

After saying that, without waiting for the 'Master' to express his opinion, the ninja walked away. .

Only the dry and stiff vocal cords of the Buddha are left.

"A few more lives? I ask for mercy."

From what he meant, it seemed that he didn't want to harm more lives.

But the monks who are already addicted to immortality will no longer stop because of the mere "Master's decree".

Immortality will distort people’s way of survival.

This is not just a problem faced by the undead. There are also those who wish to be immortal, and the whirlpool of struggle caused by their desires.

Once you are contaminated with the 'immortal body', where will things develop among various emotions such as desire, fear, hope, and rejection? It is not an issue that individuals can interfere with at all.
