Chapter 605 (1/2)

Chapter 605

Bakufu, courtyard . Sakakibara Yasumasa and the Tokugawa Clan’s other great generals were already drawing closer . The guards and sentries along the way collapsed in whimpers, as if they were reaped straw . A while later, Sakakibara Yasumasa and the ghost martial cultivators were already bubbled into the imperial court like a black tide . They had innately superb martial force . Each person was capable of fighting a thousand soldiers . With this many people gathered together, it was obvious how powerful they were .

Suddenly, Sakakibara Yasumasa stopped his advance, halting in the corridor leading to the royal court .

“General Sakakibara, why have you stopped?” Honda Tadakatsu said . He was known as the Tokugawa Clan’s number one ghost martial cultivator .

Shuffle, shuffle .

The others also came to a stop one after another .

A wave of water was frozen by a mysterious substance .

“Look out!!!” Sakakibara Yasumasa tightly gripped his spear and assumed an aggressive stance . A sort of indescribable feeling of danger made the hackles of the Tokugawa’s fierce tigers rise . Their hands clenched their weapons, their eyes reflecting a ferocious gaze .

Even from far away, Su Xing and Wu Siyou could sense this level of pressure .

Before they even heard it, to be able to have this level of power, this made Su Xing’s blood unable to help but stir .

Finally, the black night slowly parted .

A slender figure expressionlessly walked out, neither fast nor slow .

She had no killing intent . That person strolled in the bakufu’s royal court, as if she was viewing the flowers, her gait graceful . She looked beautiful, but the long saber in the girl’s delicate hand clearly showed her hidden danger .

Closer and closer and closer, the moonlight cast away the dark night, revealing her distinct figure .

Su Xing could not help but be startled .

The figure of the woman who approached was extremely slender, and her long hair flowed like a waterfall, hanging down to her ankles . A warrior’s pure white long gown covered her, freely matching the heroic air she exuded . Her absolutely beautiful face fit her brilliant eyes that were like deep waters . The gentle and beautiful moon did not diminish her beauty .

Her figure leaned, wafting a subtle fragrance . Each petal of sakura danced under the moonlight like red butterflies flitting among red flowers, dancing beside the young girl .

So beautiful!!!

Sakakibara Yasumasa and the others could not help but take a step back when they saw the girl appear .

The girl stopped . Her eyes slightly drooped . The long saber in her hand was very lengthy, at least two meters by Su Xing’s estimate . It was like a spear in terms of length . Although it was said that an inch of length was an inch of power, it was rare to see a long saber that could drag along the ground .

No need to guess . To be as mild as a flower yet as frigid in temperament as ice, there could only be one person in all of the Ghost Kingdom .

“Uesugi Kenshin!!!” Sakakibara Yasumasa inhaled sharply, unaware that his hand was somewhat trembling .

Uesugi Kenshin said: “Tokugawa generals who have come charging into the bakufu in the dead of night with who knows what reason in your minds, may Kenshin hear it . ”

“Enough of your farce . You only pretend to be a god of war . You plotted against my brothers, yet you still dare to put on an act . ” Tokugawa Four Heavenly King Sakai Tadatsugu furiously shouted .

“Are you drunk, general? Kenshin does not know what nonsense you are spouting . ” Uesugi Kenshin indifferently answered .

This arrogant attitude made the fury of the originally frightened group surge again .

“General Uesugi, perhaps you can help Lord Ieyasu . This Empress has never shown her face . Everyone in the world is uneasy about this . ” Sakakibara Yasumasa calmed down .

Uesugi Kenshin’s face was like a dry well, nothing stirred . “Generals, if you have no business, then please turn back . Kenshin shall not pursue your loss of control over drinking . If you generals take one more step forward, then Kenshin shall view this as a revolt and will retaliate!”

“What can you do if I take one step forward!!!” Takagi Kiyohide jeered loudly . He took a step forward, hsi hands gripping a large mace, like a tiger eyeing its prey .

Thereupon, the young woman stopped . She slightly bowed in courtesy, as naturally as water sprinkling onto plants . Her slender jade fingers gripped the shaft of her long saber neither quickly nor slowly . In between, she raised her hands, turned her wrists, and rubbed her palm . All of her movements were clearly distinct and simple that they made someone overlook them .

And then?

And then Takagi Kiyohide’s mocking face turn into an ashen expression of terror .

Her blade unsheathed then sheathed .

Before anyone could react .

On the man’s stomach, a thin line practically invisible to the naked eye extended from his neck practically down his entire body . It appeared like a single, ridiculous red line, but no one laughed . Takagi Kiyohide whimpered and fell over, already dead .

Cold sweat instantly slid down everyone’s backs .

On the ground, the clanging of a broken weapon .

Two halves of the hammer were surprisingly cleanly split apart .

“General Sakakibara, are you waiting for Uesugi Kenshin to kill us all one by one?” Sakai Tadatsugu roared in fury . Following his bellow, he immediately brandished the weapon in his hand .

“Kill!!”

Sakakibara Yasumasa ordered . The Tokugawa generals flocked together, and the more than thousand ghost martial cultivators charged . The royal court was submerged in a black tide as far as the eye could see .

“Uesugi Kenshin, do you believe you can stop us!” Sakakibara Yasumasa dashed over, sneering loudly: “A woman should stay inside the house and serve a man’s happiness . Allow me to cut down your arrogance – Destiny Crusher!”1

“Mushin Cut!”2

“Spear Hanzou, Houzouin-ryu, Ten Thousand Broken Stones!”3

“Hundred Slashes Exchange!”4

“Flying Swords, Tenpi-ryu, Broken Heart!”5

“Birds Roosting On Spear Slash!”6

The ghost path sword chants were displayed at their limit .

Uesugi Kenshin slowly raised her hands . Each movement was as natural as a fledgling inevitably flying into the sky, a fry inevitably breathing in the water . Each and every movement sublimated into the world .

The young woman’s eyes opened, and saber-qi bubbled around her whole body . In a split second, wind blew and clouds dispersed, and moonlight glowed .

Uesugi Kenshin smiled .

“Tennyo Breaks The Sun!”7

…

Before the battle could even begin, it was already nearing its end . Su Xing watched everything with slight admiration, for this god of war Uesugi Kenshin was formidable as expected . The Tokugawa warships outside Kyoto’s bay had already extinguished their lanterns . The bakufu’s countless ghost martial cultivators had begun their charge the moment Sakakibara Yasumasa ordered it . Could it be this was what it was like to taste one’s own medicine .

Sakakibara Yasumasa and the other Tokugawa generals fought with all their strength to kill Uesugi Kenshin . They knew that regardless of how powerful Kyoto was, as long as Uesugi Kenshin died, everything would crumble . This much was obvious .

In Su Xing’s perspective, Sakakibara Yasumasa’s groups had brilliant sword technique . Perhaps they could not compare to the arrogant brilliance of the Azure Dragon Territory’s Supervoid Sword Saitns, but if it was a direct confrontation with a Supervoid Cultivator, perhaps there would be some leeway . If this many ghost path sword chant adepts took action, even a top-notch Star General would be a bit pressured .

Of course, it was only a little .

It was obvious that for Wu Siyou to be a bit pressured by Uesugi Kenshin, their exit from the stage was already preordained .

“How can this be happening . ”

Sakakibara Yasumasa’s whole body trembled . The large spear he held in his hand already was somewhat unsteady . The Tokugawa’s number one Heavenly King gazed at the icy woman in despair, crying out .

Uesugi Kenshin’s pace was lithe and graceful . That long Tennyo Saber drank its fill of blood, yet it was not stained whatsoever . In the young woman’s surroundings, Watanabe Moritsuna, Sakai Tadatsugu and the other generals had already become corpses .

Sakakibara Yasumasa originally thought that if Uesugi Kenshin was any stronger, she would be the same level as Sword Saint Kamiizumi Nobutsuna . However, she had relied on her false reputation as a god of war to obtain her current position . The Tokugawa Clan had been honing its strength for the sake of this big push, visiting countless ghost martial cultivators and dojos . Even Sakakibara Yasumasa already had power equal to Kamiizumi Nobutsuna .
