Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun didn't know how much improvement this "Onimaru Hyakume Sosho" would bring to Chijo, but it was definitely much better than when he was in the hands of a kendo layman.

After taming the demon sword, Qiantiao's aura suddenly changed, making people feel more and more illusory. Under the outward momentum, she is as close as a god, really like a Rakshasa girl from hell, with a monstrous evil spirit that makes people feel dreadful.

The sword master approved by the famous sword will be 100% compatible. Qianjo has this monster knife in his hand, which is even more exaggerated than Su Lun's own black scythe, as if there is nothing in the world that cannot be cut.

But it's not without side effects.

What Ting Qiantiao means is that even if she is able to control the Twelve Excellent Artifacts now, she will always be eroded by the evil spirit of this demon sword in the future. This sword already has spirituality. It has been worshiped by incense and fire all the year round, and has become a demon soldier of hell. In future battles, he will also absorb the souls of the dead under the sword and the killing spirit to grow by himself, and his ferocity will become stronger and stronger, and he will definitely turn back against the sword master over the years.

In other words, she has to keep getting stronger and make breakthroughs in the way of swordsmanship in order to keep suppressing.

Su Lun is not worried about this.

Qianjo's firm belief in the way of swordsmanship is unmatched by others.

Before Miko Mifu, he chose to come to Chaming Mountain just to take refuge.

Now that the situation is basically clear, there is no point in staying any longer.

After discussing with them, they decided to go out immediately and rush back to Edo.

In the early morning of the next day, a few people left Xiama Po's soup room and came to a mountain road intersection from Chaming Mountain to Chidao.

Yuzi notified the royal family in advance with paper cranes, and guards would come to pick them up.

"Songlin Slope" is a remote hill, and there is not a single passerby in half a day.

Several people have been waiting here for a while.

Su Lun didn't feel impatient at all.

He wants to inscribe eight layers of runes on his skin, and there are paintings everywhere.

I can draw while walking, but it is better to wait for others.

The secret method of the [Rune Body] of the Rune Warlock lineage needs to engrave runes on the body, muscles, tendons, and bones, and draw a certain element and a certain effect of the rune according to one's own needs.

Su Lun has only reached the first step now.

He wanted to cooperate with the [King Kong] secret method, and what he drew was a gold system adaptive sixth-order rune called "Golden Dragon Pattern".

This variant rune is very complicated, a bit like weaving a fishing net, interlocking and forming a "rune protection net" for the human body, which can resist, disperse, and buffer attacks. After the drawing is completed, it will bring a huge increase in toughness to the skin. Melee and life-saving capabilities will increase by leaps and bounds.

Su Lun has no problem understanding runes now, but this is a delicate job that takes a lot of time, so he has been working on it almost all day and night.

Chijo had just subdued the demon sword, and held the sword all day long to "exchange feelings".

She looked at Su Lun making troubles, and did not forget to take the opportunity to train her disciples, "Didn't you envy your 'Mr. Thousand times."

"is teacher."

Lolotta is also serious and obedient.

Then he began to draw the knife to practice Juhe Slash, and the sharp metal "crack" sounded endlessly.

Yuzi on the side heard Qiantiao's words, and echoed, "Mr. Su Lun is indeed very hardworking. He works hard all the time, no wonder he is so good."

Su Lun smiled noncommittally.

He is also used to it, learning and research are part of his life, and he has always been like this.

This is also the daily life of an alchemist.

At this time, he looked at the time and asked casually, "Miss Yuzi, did you agree with the guard at ten o'clock?"

"yes."

Yuzi frowned, "They seem to be late."

It's almost the appointed time, and the shadow of the guard I haven't seen yet.

There was also a look of uneasiness on her face.

She is the princess, so under normal circumstances, the royal warriors can only arrive early, and they will definitely not be late.

If it's late, it means something may have happened.

"."

Su Lun frowned slightly when he heard this.

Now Shanyin's situation is very complicated, and he didn't take any chances.

The terrain of this hill is very high, and the black crow is standing on the top of the tree, looking far away, and there is nothing unusual in the shared field of view.

But it was this kind of calm that made Su Lun feel a bad premonition.

He watched Yuzi release the paper crane again, probably wanting to confirm the situation, but also felt that he had to wait.

But it didn't take long, and before there was a reply, the death bird on the branch seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly called out "quack".

Su Lun's expression changed suddenly, and he said lightly, "Not good!"

Upon hearing this, Qianjo, who was resting on the rock next to him, suddenly turned over and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Yuzi didn't understand what happened, and looked at Su Lun with doubts.

"I don't know. But danger is approaching!"

Su Lun's eyes were full of solemnity, and he didn't know the situation, "We have to get out of here."

But he knew very well that the ability to sue the dead bird was to predict death.

Its warning just now was very urgent, that is to say, there is a "deadly" danger approaching quietly!

Seeing Su Lun's serious expression, Qianjo and Yuzi straightened up at the same time, without asking any further questions, they followed Su Lun who had already turned around and retreated quickly to catch up.

Su Lun ran a few steps, and some thoughts flashed through his mind.

It is "fatal danger" that can make the dead bird feel that the reminder is "fatal danger", and the opponent's strength is definitely very strong.

"Take the mountain road, don't take the big road!"

Su Lun glanced at the flat road that was completely devoid of people, and suddenly turned around.

He had carefully observed the terrain around the hills all the way before. If it were him to ambush, the roads would definitely be heavily guarded.

He plunged headlong into the dense forest, followed closely by Qianjo, Miko, and Lolotta.

Almost at the same time they left "Songlin Slope", there was a sudden "咻~" not far behind.

listen again

There was a bang of "dong", and the sound spread for dozens of miles.

Impressively, the signal arrow exploded in the air.

Seeing this scene, Chijo and Miko also immediately understood what happened: Sure enough, someone was ambushing!

"There seems to be a lot of people, maybe people from the Takeda shogunate are here!"

"Not necessarily. Maybe it's that Abe Taihe."

"."

Although the few of them have good combat prowess, they will not be so stupid as to fight in the encirclement of the enemy before they understand the situation.

Su Lun was holding a black umbrella in his hand, and while running, he was thinking about something expressionlessly.

At that moment, he suddenly discovered something, grasped with five fingers in the void, pulled a few transparent silk threads, and watched a thick incision passing by smoothly break into two pieces.

Qianjo and Yuzi also noticed Su Lun's movement, and glanced out of the corner of their eyes, only then did they see scarlet blood flowing from the cut of the broken tree.

In the trunk of that big tree, there is actually a hidden ninja hidden by a wooden escape!

Looking up again, dozens of bamboo paragliders suddenly appeared in the sky.

Miko narrowed her pupils, saw clearly the ninja sect patterns on those ninja clothes, and said softly, "That's Koga ninja!"

Su Lun narrowed his eyes.

There are many factions of the Shinobi sect in Sanyin, mainly the Koga and Iga factions.

The Iga Zong ninja is good at guarding and medicine, and is loyal to the royal god Fushi. The ninjas of the Koga Sect are warlike. They are good at ninjutsu and study various ninja tools. They usually serve some feudal lords in war and are very active on the battlefield. Now the largest one is in the Black Dragon Society controlled by the shogunate.

Seeing Koka ninjas, you can be sure that they are people from the Takeda shogunate!

Now it is clear that the enemy has ambushed a long time ago, and even ninjas are ambushed in this forest. In other words, the situation on other lines is more dangerous.

Fortunately, the dead bird was warned in advance of the danger, otherwise the encirclement would be closed, and the consequences would be disastrous.

But now that their whereabouts have been exposed, it is impossible to avoid a big battle.

Su Lun looked at the ninja who started to jump down from the sky, thought of something, and said very quickly: "Miss Yuzi, there may be a strong presence among the enemies, prepare the second plan."

"good!"

Without any hesitation, Miko took out a piece of human-shaped white paper from his bosom, bit his finger and dripped blood, drew a talisman on the paper, and then handed the newly made "shikigami paper figurine" to Suren.

In just this instant, a little old man appeared in front of Su Lun and the others, blocking their way.

This guy was wearing a gray and tattered felt hat, a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and a red wine nose. He looked like a drunk mountain farmer.

But it was this sloppy dress, Miko saw it and sternly shouted: "Be careful, this is Ueno Sasaki, one of the Koga Three Ninjas, the "ghost hand"! "

Su Lun had heard the guy's name before.

Especially Jōnin, the top assassin ninja who is definitely ranked in the top ten among the Yamagakure ninjas.

There are no worthless people under a great reputation, and he didn't underestimate it at all.

The little old man was not polite either. Seeing the three of them approaching each other, he raised his ninjutsu seal, and suddenly a gust of wind blade visible to the naked eye spewed out from his mouth, "Ninjutsu·Fengshen Sickle Itachi Art!"

Those wind blades are good at facing the wind, they were only the size of a finger when they were just exported, and they turned into rounds of wind blades and crescent moons in a blink of an eye.

Thousands of wind wheels raged in the forest, and in the blink of an eye, these thick and big trees in the forest were "blown" down a large area like harvesting wheat.

Qiantiao was at the front, waving his sword in an airtight manner.

What is surprising is that when the blade touched those wind blades, sparks flickered randomly.

Taking a closer look, there are thousands of pocket sickle ninja tools hidden in this wind blade.

Wind ninjutsu is pervasive, and even puppets can't block ranged attacks.

Su Lun doesn't have Qianjo's outstanding swordsmanship, which can prevent watertight. When he pinched the Warlock Seal, a dark golden luster instantly appeared on his skin. Looking at it again, there are pieces of runes that look like dragon scale tattoos.

The defensive power of the fifth-level [Vajra] secret technique plus the sixth-level rune [Rune Golden Body] is already very exaggerated. The dense wind blades cut on the skin without leaving any traces.

Su Lun's attention was never on these wind blades.

Where did he not know that this was the enemy's cover-up?

Looking again, the little old man in the distance really disappeared out of thin air.

"What a brilliant invisibility technique! As expected of Koga Sannin."

Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sight, hearing, and touch could not detect the existence of that guy at all, only in the perception of the soul, he could perceive a mass of soul fire mixing in the wind blade and approaching Yuzi.

Probably thinking of a one-hit kill.

Su Lun pretended not to notice, it was at the moment when he found the right opportunity that he suddenly became violent.

"Secret method of wire control - bird in a cage!"

He grabbed at the void with five fingers, and countless silk threads became solid, straightened suddenly, and wrapped the figure.

But before the silk thread could be cut, the smoke bomb inside suddenly exploded with a "bang", and the fire of the soul ran a hundred meters away as if teleported.

The old head was like a loach, and when he failed to hit him, he ran away quickly.

Su Lun let out a sigh in his heart, and secretly praised the escape method in ninjutsu, but there is something extraordinary about it.

Being attacked, Qianjo's violent temper was not to be outdone, and before the wind blade calmed down, she kicked off the ground suddenly, and her whole body rushed towards the direction where the old man fled like a human-shaped cannonball.

She was still in mid-air, so she drew her knife and slashed forward, a sword energy pierced through the air, a hundred meters in an instant.

Sasaki was forced to walk out of the wind escape, the steel claw blades on the palms of both hands crossed, and he took the knife forcefully.

With a sound of "Keng", the flames splashed in all directions.

Seeing this, Su Lun had roughly estimated Sasaki's strength.

Although Qiantiao just made a tentative cut just now, it may be so easy to pick it up, this guy also has the strength of a fifth-level professional.

"Sasaki has mastered the air escape technique, don't get entangled with that guy!"

"good!"

Su Lun and the others ignored that guy at all, and continued to run towards the depths of the dense forest.

But at this moment, I heard someone whisper beside my ear in a daze: "Ninjutsu·The Art of Thousands of Flower Wheels!"

Looking again, in this forest, cherry blossoms suddenly fell all over the sky, like snowflakes, beautiful and beautiful, making people feel in a trance for a moment.

I didn't see the enemy, but I heard Miko urgently reminded: "Be careful, that's "Sakura Hime" Kobe Kaoru, and one of the Koga Sannin. Good at controlling ghosts, proficient in illusion. There is a blood succession limit of "soul replacement"! "

In Shanyin Country, because believers practice with the power of the divine way, the probability of talent awakening is very low. But once the talent is awakened, the probability of blood inheritance is extremely high, which is often called the "blood inheritance limit".

When Su Lun heard what the imperial son said, he immediately changed the term into a talent in alchemy, [B-025-Instigator].

This talent is born with a convincing affinity and super high spiritual power and high growth.

It is indeed a talent very suitable for being an illusionist.

Qiantiao has a demon sword at his side, so naturally it will not be affected.

Only Lolotta was stunned for a moment with a face full of obsession, and then Miko rang the Kagura bell, and immediately woke up.

Su Lun also realized early on that this was an illusion. A warlock of this level is not a big problem for him now.

But what made him even more curious was that he had seen the soul fire appearing in the perception.

It's actually the female ninja who disguised herself as a guide in Jianjian Village? !

In this brief confrontation, both sides tried to find out something.

"Damn it, isn't that female swordsman's arms sealed by Lord Takeda? How can she still have such strength?!"

"Also, the Demon Sword Sect is here!"

"The one with silk thread is the guy I said before, be careful, he is very handy!"

"We can't stop them, please notify Master Duan Zuo!"

"."

Su Lun recognized Kobe Kaoru, and the ninja recognized him, so he naturally knew that these people were not easy to kill.

Two "Koga Sannin" have appeared.

If Qianjo and Su Lun were not around, maybe those guys would have a chance to kill Yuzi.

But now, it's not enough.

However, Su Lun didn't intend to read the war.

He didn't dare to be careless about the warning of the dead bird.

As far as these people appearing at present, they can't give them too many death threats.

After all, ninjas are positioned as assassins, and they are not sure of killing. The two special ninjas did not dare to confront them head-on, so they followed all the way.

The death bird was still quacking, Su Lun and the others didn't stop at all, and killed several minion ninjas along the way, thinking that they had probably rushed out of the encirclement.

But at this moment, in Su Lun's perception, a guy with an exaggerated speed suddenly appeared.

He shouted anxiously, "There are people underground!"

"He is very strong! Be careful, I will stop him!"

Sensing the murderous intent on his back, Qiantiao let out a loud shout at the same time.

It was the same dangerous feeling as the assassination of the sixth-order rune old man before.

Encountering an opponent of this level, there is no room for stopping.

She stretched out her hand, and as soon as the kimono was taken off, she changed into a set of red armor in an instant, which was naturally the famous armor of the Warring States Period "Iron Red Scale Painted with Five Pieces".

With the Tengu mask covering his face, he suddenly became majestic.

This time, she directly drew out the demon sword Zongzheng.

Full of fighting spirit.

Seeing Qiantiao's actions, Su Lun shrank his eyes.

The existence that can make Qiantiao, who has already advanced to the fifth level, say "very strong", I am afraid that there are not a few in the entire Shanyin.

The guy who escaped from the ground is probably the reason why the death bird kept calling.

Su Lun didn't dare to be careless, the eight-armed spider spear behind him had been revealed.

In the blink of an eye, the guy who escaped from the earth suddenly stood up from a hundred meters away. Wearing black iron armor, masked leggings, and standard ninja attire. There is also a moon-shaped family pattern on the armor.

Seeing this, Miko was also very surprised, and said very fast: "That is... that is the leader of the Koga Ninja sect, "Shadow Buddha" Kato Danzo! "

Hearing the name, Su Lun's eyes were full of solemnity.

The first person of the Ninja sect in Shanyin Kingdom, a master of ninja and physical skills, and the only ninja who has reached the "shadow level" in the world.

Although the strength of soul perception is only about that of a fifth-level professional, this guy's combat power is unfathomable.

Because Su Lun and the others walked decisively, they escaped the encirclement now, and only a few high-ranking ninjas caught up.

But seeing the "Shadow Buddha" Kato Duanzo in front of them, they didn't move rashly.

Su Lun also felt a little strange that he actually met such a "legendary".

But now that he saw someone, he didn't panic.

This Kato Duanzou is strong, but this guy has a remarkable record in his life, and many methods are "known".

The outcome of the battle can also be predicted.

Today's Qianjo has a demon sword in his hand and a famous armor on his body, not to mention that he can beat Kato and protect himself.

What's more, there are Su Lun and Yuzi, if they really want to fight, there is a certain certainty that both sides will suffer.

Su Lun felt the fighting spirit around Qiantiao getting higher and higher, and guessed what she wanted to do, so he asked, "Sister Qiantiao, what do you think?"

The best plan is naturally not reckless.

As long as Qianjo can hold back the strongest one, Su Lun and the others can find a way to kill other people.

Then, running again is much easier.

Sure enough, Chijo said what he expected, "Go first. I want to try my knife with this guy."

Although they are all fighting, "holding off" and "testing the knife" are two different mentalities.

One is passive and the other is active.

Swordsmen are like this, they must be sharpened in battle after battle.

Only when there is no fear in the heart can there be nothing that cannot be cut.

When you meet a suitable opponent, if you don't fight a game, your hands will itch.

"Shadow Buddha" Kato Duanzou is not only a ninja, but also a top-ranking swordsman in the top five of Shanyin in terms of swordsmanship alone.

Strong and able to give Qiantiao a sense of crisis, this is the best opponent.

Qiantiao now has the demon sword in his hand, just in time for a hearty battle.

"oh."

Su Lun's eyes flashed sharply, and he responded lightly.

During the one or two breaths of their exchange, Kato Danzou, who was opposite, was not idle.

At this moment, that guy pinched the seal of Ninja, and opened his mouth: "Ninfa, the technique of Toyomo Nozawa!"

The rumbling sound was endless, and when I looked again, the guy opened his mouth and spit out a waterfall. The embankment-like amount of water rushed over like a mountain torrent, and the rocks and trees were washed away in an instant.

In a blink of an eye, the huge forest has become a swamp country.

"Is this the strength of 'Shadow'?"

Su Lun's eight-armed spider lance easily floated on the water, and he let out a sigh.

He looked at the exaggerated water spit again, didn't understand the principle, and complained in his heart: How can this guy spit out so much water?

To switch to alchemy, to produce such a large amount of water, I am afraid that only a seventh-level professional can do it.

This "Toyoyun Nozawa Country Art" is definitely a disaster-level attack on group targets.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one person can defeat an army.

But for Su Lun and the others, the problem was not too big.

Just when Su Lun was still thinking about the motive of Kato Duanzou getting so much water out, he looked again and saw that guy stepped directly on the water with a special skill and rushed towards him.

It turns out that this is to create a favorable fighting terrain for yourself?

Seeing this, Qianjo didn't show any weakness, and yelled, "I'm going!"

"啪", "啪", "啪". There was a series of bursting sounds.

One stepped on the water, the other stepped on the air, hedging away.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were about to collide.

Chijo has just advanced to the fifth level, although her strength is much weaker than that of Kato Duanzou, but the sword in her hand is "Demon Saber Zongzheng".

It can cause blindness, has a demonic aura, and can confuse the mind. There are many negative states that can be called [Forbidden Object].

With this knife down, the sword energy was hundreds of meters across, and white waves several meters high rose on the water.

The moment Kato Duanzou touched it, his eyes were completely dark, and he knew immediately that something was wrong. This guy had a very strong fighting instinct, so he withdrew abruptly and retreated out of the area of ​​influence.

But under this knife, he instantly judged the strength of the opponent in front of him.

A cold light flashed in his vulture's eyes, and his hands quickly changed into Ninja seals.

This time, a layer of white fluorescent light condensed on his body, as if a mysterious will blessed his upper body.

"Divine Art Thousand-Handed Stone Buddha!"

Danzo Kato finally resorted to the ultimate ninja technique secreted by the Koga Ninja Sect-Thousand-Handed Stone Buddha.

Just when the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, a thousand-handed stone Buddha hundreds of meters high descended out of thin air, with a majestic treasure and terrifying power.

The stone Buddha slapped it with his palm, and it was like a meteor falling, and a huge crater was blasted out on the ground.

Thousands of palms, ten thousand palms. Overwhelming!

This secret method is said to have the power to connect with gods and can kill gods and demons!

Qiantiao did not show any weakness, and slashed down with a knife.

My knife is hell.

It was the time when the two fought against each other, Su Lun had already run a long way in the other direction.

He felt the exaggerated movement behind him, and then he looked back and raised his eyebrows: "Sure enough, the strength of these god believers really cannot be judged by rank."

It is the familiar formula, the familiar routine, the coming of the higher will, and the secret method of belief.

I've met him several times before, and Su Lun doesn't understand what's going on.

At this level, he can't beat it.

"But having said that, the moment we met face to face, we forced out the opponent's box-pressing stunt. Sister Qiantiao has become so strong now."

Thinking of this, Su Lun disappeared into the forest without looking back, leading a few pursuers behind him.
