"puff"
Blood spattered, and a few drops even hit the prince's face. He smelled the fishy smell, and the prince felt nauseous and couldn't believe his eyes!
It was clear that not long ago, the situation in the house was suppressing monsters, but in an instant, the enemy and us were reversed.
Not to mention that even though he is a prince, he has never seen a fight to the death.
But I couldn't think about it. After breaking free from the restraints, the monster obviously knew how to catch the thief first. With one claw, half of the warrior's face was torn off, and the bones were exposed. He fell to the ground and couldn't even scream. Out, just twitching.
Then, the monster showed a fierce look and pounced on the prince.
"Ah!" Prince Weizun screamed subconsciously.
The prince alone might be able to escape, but the room was not big, and the princess and the maids were all crowded together. In this case, everyone was crying and pushing to escape. He was a stronger man, so he couldn't escape. Breaking out of the chaotic wall of people.
My life is at risk!
Seeing the claws with the remains of flesh and blood being struck by the evil wind, the prince was in a critical moment of life and death. The first half of his life flashed through his mind, and he felt that he lived a mediocre and useless life.
It's a pity that as a descendant of Amaterasu, he should die at the hands of a monster!
Just when he closed his eyes and was about to wait for death, a glimmer of light flashed in front of his eyes, and the monster immediately let out a scream that was more horrifying than the others.
The prince, whose ears hurt, realized something and opened his eyes suddenly. "Yamada-kun..."
"Prince Palace, protect Prince Palace quickly!"
"Stop squeezing!"
Only then did everyone react, and they quickly hugged the prince and princess and moved back.
With the joy of surviving the disaster and complicated emotions, the prince did not forget to look back and saw Pei Ziyun standing at the place where he was originally standing with a knife, his expression calm, and in front of him, the monster was screaming, and the knife was on the edge. It wasn't deep, but the white flames clung to the wound and burned it, unable to be extinguished no matter how hard it rolled.
"It's amazing!" Someone couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "With just one knife, the monster will burn. Is this a mage's method?"
The exclamation in his ears made the prince quickly understand what had just happened.
It turned out that when he was about to be killed by a monster, Yamada Shinichi, who had saved him before, took action again and killed the monster with a single knife!
"Yamada-kun..." The prince, who was always easily moved, looked at Yamada Shinichi who was standing, feeling moved and fearful in his heart.
Of course, looking at the monster being burned by the fire, the prince was equally puzzled.
Although there were some powerful samurai in this era who could kill monsters, I had never heard of a samurai who could make monsters burn with a single slash of his sword.
Or is it that the other party knows magic
Or maybe the monster itself will incinerate itself after being seriously injured
This is not impossible.
Glancing around, he saw that everyone had different expressions, including surprise, gratitude, envy, and jealousy. The prince looked at Yamada Shinichi again, making calculations in his mind.
The Tachibana clan has declined, not to mention Tachibana Michizane. Can such a samurai be accepted as his subordinate
Pei Ziyun ignored the complicated glances around him and kept his expression calm as he stared at the burning banshee, thinking in his heart.
"I originally thought it was a monster, but it turned out to be a female ghost who was once a human, or a female official who had been canonized before her."
"It's much easier to give birth to evil spirits in human hearts than to cultivate a monster. I didn't realize it before. It's because there is power that masks the aura. No wonder I can get close to the prince and want to poison him."
"However, after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that the life of the prince has reached his end. This is why demons and ghosts can get close to him and cause harm."
"But no matter how the imperial court declines, the prince cannot be killed by demons and ghosts - even the prince who is about to die!"
"If the prince is really poisoned, there will be backlash. This monster is just cannon fodder? But what is the purpose? Maybe there are other intentions?"
Pei Ziyun thought about it, but smiled. The reason why he protected the prince was to avoid having this label pinned on him and to buy time for recovery.
As long as he kills two more big demons, he can also obtain the status of a god in this world, and then he will have nothing to worry about.
However, even if the delaying plan fails and the whole world is full of enemies, it will only cause more trouble.
No matter how many calculations you make, you can kill them all with one sword.
Just then I was thinking deeply, because the female ghost was burning, and a strange smell filled the air.
Unlike the smell of burning flesh, this one was stranger, dirtier, and more intolerable.
But even so, the prince and others, who cherished their lives, did not escape from the courtyard. They were afraid that there were other monsters lurking in the darkness.
"Namo Bhagavan Emperor Vishashe Kurupi Liuli..." Different from everyone else's perspective, the monk obviously saw something deeper. He looked at Pei Ziyun with fear in his eyes, and as he spoke the mantra, he wore a Light invisible to the naked eye.
"The mantra of Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata?" Pei Ziyun looked at it and was slightly shocked. After several lifetimes, this was the first time he had come into contact with the real Buddha's light, and he evaluated it secretly.
"This Buddha's light is too meager, but in terms of the essence behind it, it seems to be comparable to Artemis?"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. Someone shouted the name of the prince, and it sounded like he was not from the palace. Along with it, there were noisy footsteps, approaching from far away.
Someone else is coming.
Prince Weizun looked at the princess and asked in a low voice: "Who else did you notify just now?"
"No." The princess replied: "Maybe the news about what happened just now spread and someone from outside came over."
Although Prince Weizun's mansion is a royal palace, it is not a palace that is tightly sealed with iron barrels and cannot let out the wind in Ping'an Capital.
What's more, the news that the "Prince" is dead is definitely a big deal. If there is someone else's spy in the palace, it is impossible not to spread the news immediately.
Not to mention people who are interested, even ordinary nobles, if they know about it, they will probably want to send someone to inquire about the situation.
If the prince is really killed by a country samurai due to love and hatred, the samurai will be recruited to surround and suppress the murderer, and it will definitely bring disaster to Tachibana Michizada and the Yamada family in Izumi Kingdom.
While the two were talking, people outside had already arrived in the courtyard. Those who stepped into the courtyard saw the scene inside the house, especially their eyes fell on Pei Ziyun, who was holding a wooden knife, and immediately showed an angry look on his face: "Bold!"
Following the scolding, a dozen warriors behind him immediately rushed in and surrounded Pei Ziyun.
Pei Ziyun looked at the room that was about to be filled, smiled and walked out, as if he didn't pay attention to the warriors surrounding him.
Because of Pei Ziyun's actions, the surrounding warriors did not move and slowly retreated.
Of course, the samurai did this with the intention of luring people out.
Doing it inside the house can easily hurt innocent and noble people.
"Hey! You are a country samurai, but Yamada Shinichi? Are you the one who wants to harm the Prince's Palace? If you don't put down your sword and surrender, I can give you the honorable act of seppuku!"
The warrior drank, with a serious face and tight lips. There was a pair of slender and calm eyes on the high cheekbones, with a strong murderous aura. It was obvious that he had killed many people.
Although the fact that he saw the prince still alive was wrong with the information he received, Yamada Shinichi holding a wooden sword in front of the prince and looking disrespectful was a fact that he saw!
As he spoke, the warrior put his feet on the ground and slowly approached.
"He's a master."
I saw this man holding a knife in both hands, the tip of the knife pointing upwards. Although he was approaching slowly, his feet were only raised an inch and his shoulders were slightly lowered. This was a posture that could be attacked or defended.
"Every fighting world has similar skills!" Pei Ziyun sighed slightly as he looked as steady as a mountain. Seeing his opponent constantly building momentum, he remained indifferent.
At the fifth step, the warrior's accumulated momentum reached its peak. He shouted loudly and slashed with his sword.
When the sword was slashed, the entire courtyard seemed to go dark.
Pei Ziyun held the knife in his hand and swung it.
The sword light came through the air and hit the wooden sword, making a soft sound. Then the opponent did not hesitate. The sword light turned forward and struck seven times in a row. The sword was in the style of the military. There was no falsehood and it was a matter of life and death.
Although it was a wooden sword and an iron sword, with the attack, there was a continuous "clang" and a deafening golden whine. The two of them came and went, and their body movements became extremely fast. Some of the surrounding warriors could not even see the two of them clearly. action.
Another thin layer of snow fell, and as the two of them crossed paths, it became muddy. The new falling snow even avoided this area under the light of the knife.
Wonderful!
This country warrior is amazing.
The onlookers stared intently, forgetting their duties for a moment. Stimulated by the snow falling on their necks, they dazzled, their pupils shrank, and they stared at the field warily, slowly approaching. This was not a duel between two warriors. , facing the enemy, they always swarm them.
"Sakata-kun, stop, don't fight!" Seeing that the situation was deteriorating and a bloody conflict was about to break out, Prince Weizun came to his senses, turned pale, and waved his hand to stop: "Don't fight, Yamada-kun saved me, he is not the murderer! "
Sakata-kun
To be called "Sakata-kun" by the respected prince is not an ordinary status.
Staring at the emblem of the opponent's samurai, it was Genji's samurai.
In this era, besides Sakata Kintoki, Pei Ziyun couldn't think of anyone else. This was indeed one of the people he had guessed!
During Sakata Kintoki, he was one of the Four Heavenly Kings under Minamoto Yorimitsu.
This person is one of the most powerful among contemporary warriors.
Many people agree with this. This can be seen from the fact that Yamada Shinichi and Sakata Kintoki fought and were surprised when they could not fall behind.
Although Sakata Kintoki had a strong fighting spirit, he had to obey the prince's order. He jumped back and was silent for a short time. Sakata Kintoki opened his mouth and said to Pei Ziyun: "Yamada, you are very strong."
As if to verify, with a stab, a gap appeared in Sakata Kintoki's clothes, exposing the muscles underneath.
This is caused by the blade!
The fight between the two lasted only three minutes from start to finish, and everyone who saw it was horrified.
Facing everyone's gaze, Pei Ziyun remained as calm as water: "Sakata-kun, you are also very strong."
It was indeed very strong, but if the surrounding samurai weren't keeping an eye on him and could strike at any time, this knife would have penetrated the human body and severely injured Sakata Kintoki.
"If you lose, you lose." Sakata Kintoki said with a solemn face: "Since you saved the Prince's Palace, it's my fault."
After a pause, he asked in a deep voice: "What happened here, and why did Yamada-kun appear here?"
As a member of the Genji samurai who has taken refuge with the Fujiwara family, he naturally has the right to inquire in this safe capital!
