Chapter 16 Chapter Fifteen

Fifteen miles out of Seoul, there is the Beeche Hall.The brutal killing still makes the Japanese army terrified, because very few people are willing to come here to patrol.Here, it has become the safest place.Before Yang Yizhi accompanied Shen Weijing to Seoul, he kept four horses here.He and Xiangsi rode alternately, and could return to Pyongyang within two days. Then, he tried to send Acacia back to the Central Plains, only the Central Plains is truly safe. There were no flaws in his arrangement, Xiangsi's lightness skill was good, and within half an hour, they arrived at the Bishou Pavilion.This place is in ruins. The originally bustling inn has been destroyed by the war dozens of years ago. In the night, several tall buildings still remain, crumbling.There are scorched marks left by artillery fire everywhere, and the bitter wind and rain dotted the desolation here.

Fortunately, the four horses were still tied by the roadside, gnawing on the scattered grass.Yang Yizhi was overjoyed, and pulled Xiangsi to run towards the horse. But his figure suddenly stopped. The four horses were only a few tens of feet away from him, but here, it became an insurmountable gap. A tall and distant shadow appeared beside the road, like an immobile mountain.Looking closely, it turned out to be a black knight, riding an equally tall, black war horse, standing quietly, exuding a menacing aura. The dark armor made the knight only show a vague outline. He was like a ghost in a rainy night, just summoned from the region.He stood still, and the strong breath of death still diffused out, cutting off all life around him.A huge circle seemed to appear on the muddy ground, and within seven feet of him as the center, all life would be reduced to ashes.The four war horses whined and struggled violently, trying to stay away from him.He is like the devil in charge of death in hell, who can kill people just by looking at him.

A ray of light burst out from Yang Yizhi's palm. He couldn't help but shudder.The murderous aura of this black shadow is so strong, it can actually arouse his Fengyue sword aura from such a long distance!Even if this person is sent to the Central Plains, he is still a first-rate master, and he is definitely not under the heads of the seven schools. Perhaps, he had already expected that once Hirao Hideyoshi found out that he had taken Acacia away, the pervasive ninjutsu of the Ninja of the Rising Sun would immediately lock him in.He just didn't expect them to come so fast. In the darkness, a dazzling light burst out suddenly.

A ball of fire came towards the two of them from behind.Fire doesn't go away, that's a man, a man with fire all over him.But when I looked carefully, I found that it was only because he was wearing a red dress.But there seemed to be strong rays of light constantly emerging from his body, expanding into a huge ball of fire, covering him in the middle.This is just an illusion, but for some reason, it seems very real.It seems that as long as he exhales a little harder, the fire will erupt from his throat. Yang Yizhi's astonishment didn't last long, and a sharp wind blew from the side.He turned his head, and found a person leaping to his side five feet swiftly.

He has never seen such a fast movement!It was not like a person at all, but like wind, like lightning.The man was also dressed in white, but the white was trimmed with a faint green border, flowing like the wind.Her sleeves are very long, and they look like the wind, and they are mixed with the wind, and they can be as far as ten feet away with a casual wave.Her body is extremely thin, and when the wind blows, she seems to want to ride the wind away. Seeing these two people, the horse hissed even more sadly.These two people, together with the previous black shadow, sealed Yang Yi's front, back, and left three places, leaving only the right side open.Yang Yizhi instinctively wanted to step to the right, but his steps stopped immediately.

It's not that there's no one there, it's just that he hasn't noticed it all the time.Because that person has become one with Tongyu.The rain fell on him soundlessly, as if it had become a part of his body.He didn't seem to need to breathe or move, so Yang Yizhi never noticed his existence. These four people have completely blocked his way. The murderous aura of the man in black is so terrifying, his moves must be extremely fierce.The man who burns the fire obviously has extremely strange internal power, and his moves must be as fierce as fire.Ling Feng's lightness skills are graceful, and his moves must be extremely fast.The most frightening thing was the person hiding in the rain, he was so close to Yang Yizhi that he didn't even notice, so his attack must be extremely secretive, perhaps, the other party would not be able to discover his existence until he hit.

In the rainy night, how many such masters exist? Yang Yizhi's hands were suddenly covered with cold sweat.The way home was actually so difficult. The flaming man smiled, and suddenly said, "Huozang." Yang Yizhi didn't answer.It's obviously his name.The appearance of these four people is extremely strange, without their introduction, Yang Yizhi can guess that they must be the ninjas under Hira Hideyoshi.This person's dry voice also proved this point. They are the real ninja elite of Iga Valley.Compared with them, Ranmaru is just like a spoiled child. Although he didn't answer, Huo Zang didn't mind, pointing to the other three people:

"Ksitigarbha" "Shui Zang" "Fengzang" Yang Yi held Fengyue sword energy in his hand, thinking silently, without answering. Huo Zang said: "It is said that Leader Yang's Fengyue Sword Qi is the pinnacle of today's swordsmanship. The four of us Oni Ninja have long wanted to experience it." He sighed: "Unfortunately, Leader Yang can only use one sword. Even if this sword can kill one of us, the other three can still kill Leader Yang. Isn't it?" Yang Yizhi pondered and nodded slowly. This is really the biggest shortcoming in his martial arts.If the enemy's martial art is not high, even if he doesn't use Fengyue sword energy, he can still hurt the enemy, but these four people are all masters of masters.Even if he could kill one, he couldn't kill the third.At that time, he could only be slaughtered.

He couldn't help but glance at Acacia. Xiangsi also glanced at him. Just a glance, no panic, no panic. That is missing him, no matter how difficult the situation is and how dangerous the enemy is, as long as he is there, she will trust him without worry. That was in the barren city, in the barracks, the experience of hundreds of thousands of killings, continuous ghosts, the experience of knowing each other and staying together. Only him, only her. Yang Yizhi suddenly gained confidence. As long as she trusts him, he can take her away. No matter how difficult the situation is and how dangerous the enemy is, as long as he is there, she doesn't have to worry!

He smiled lightly.The light in his hand suddenly lit up. The brilliance, as if not bound by the rainy night, swelled into a ball of dazzling moonlight, which suddenly exploded from Yang Yizhi.Hozo couldn't help but let out a cry. The cold moon-like light invaded the body.The protective anger formed by his ninjutsu can't resist the slightest bit!This made him terrified, and he couldn't help but back away suddenly! Jizo, Mizuzo, and Fengzang obviously felt the same way as him, and they all retreated together! Yang Yizhi said lightly: "You are right, I can only kill one person."

"But once this move is made, one person will die!" Jizang, Shuizang, Huozang, and Fengzang looked at each other, and no one dared to refute this sentence.This moon-like warm man made them feel a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts.No one doubted that as long as they moved slightly, the cold moon would immediately invade their bodies and take their lives. This feeling was so real, so cold, at this moment, the four masters seemed to be frozen, and they never dared to move a little bit. Yang Yizhi stood quietly, the light in his eyes was so determined. He never wants to hurt anyone, but when he decides to protect, he never hesitates to pay any price! Slowly, the brilliance in his hands converged, and he gently took the hand of lovesickness, and stepped into the damaged inn by the road. After they disappeared for a long time, Huo Zang felt the coldness in his heart eased, and he let out a cry of surprise. Feng Zang stared at the direction where Yang Yizhi and the two disappeared, his eyes were full of hatred. The figures of the two leaving just now were so calm, as if they were just outing together in the spring breeze.These four ghost ninjas, who made the enemy fearful, were completely ignored by the other party. On the contrary, they, the ghost ninja who killed countless people, were actually intimidated by such a gentle man!This is simply humiliating! The fire in Fengzang's eyes flickered, and he almost couldn't help but rushed in. Hozo said leisurely: "Why do we rush to die! Anyway, what the lord ordered us is to trap them. As long as we stay here, they can't go anywhere, so why worry?" He was right.After the flames of war, the Bishou Pavilion station was indeed devastated.The house that Yang Yizhi and Xiangsi stepped into was a little more complete, but it was only able to shelter from the wind and rain.No matter where the two of them are hiding in the room, the four of them will see clearly.There is zero chance of escape. But Fengzang just couldn't suppress her anger, as soon as she saw the elegant gestures of the two people talking and smiling, she couldn't help but want to rush in and slash them. She didn't know why she hated them so much.She only saw them once, but she seemed to have hated them for thousands of years. The artillery fire has almost completely destroyed the inn. Looking out from the house, a dark sky with rain seeping through the broken roof, the crumbling beams covering the withered brick walls, and the wind howling through the house , the cracks are full of wet and cold rain. This house can't hide anything, not even the eyes. Huo Zang let them enter it, although he was afraid of Yang Yizhi's Fengyue sword energy, but he didn't think that this house would make their situation any better. Standing in the room, the murderous aura of Jizo, the blazing fire of Huozo, the swiftness of Fengzang, and the ghosts of Mizuzo still force people to come, oppressing their breath.Yang Yizhi picked up a few rags from the corner of the wall, barely covering the cracks in the roof, and the rain did not leak so tightly.Yang Yizhi took off his robe, laid it on the ground, and beckoned Xiangsi to sit down. Xiangsi sat in the corner of the room with her knees hugged, her face was full of sadness, her mind seemed to be very serious, not as indifferent as Yang Yizhi. Looking at the wind and rain outside the house, Yang Yizhi slightly frowned. Ksitigarbha, wind, fire, and water.He is sure to kill any one of them in one move.If there were only two of them, then he could try his best to injure his body and severely injure them all.If there are three…. He can only win by relying on miracles to appear.But now, with four people, his chance of winning is zero. These four people seem to have long been used to fighting together, and they must have a tacit understanding with each other.If they join forces successfully, maybe Yang Yizhi won't be able to kill even one of them. Yang Yizhi sighed slowly and raised his head. He thought of more than a dozen methods, but none of them could kill these four people at the same time. The rain was misty, flickering on his eyebrows.The four of them still surrounded the inn from southeast to northwest, and through the holes in the wall, one could clearly see the bewitching smiles on their faces.Fortunately, they were really afraid of Yang Yizhi's Fengyue sword energy, so even though they surrounded the inn, even though the inn was dilapidated and vulnerable, they still didn't dare to break in. Yang Yizhi's calm expression, in their eyes, was like the call of death.No one dared to take that risk. Especially when they are in such a favorable situation. Hizo even sat down, as if waiting for something. Yang Yizhi couldn't help but tremble.He knows what they are waiting for! ——They are waiting for the rain to come down. The ability of the water storage must be related to the rain. During the heavy rain, he may be able to display some special ability.The heavy rain will only greatly reduce Yang Yizhi's martial arts, because the rain will slow down people's movements, obstruct their vision and make them make mistakes in judgment.However, Jizo's horse-driving attack power will not be weak, and Fengzang's unique lightness skill will not be disturbed by the rain.He glanced at Hozo, and the rain did not weaken Hozo's fire at all. Every moment he waited, his chances of complete defeat increased by one point! Yang Yizhi raised his head, it was raining heavily.Could this be his burial place? He stood up, swept away the rocks and wooden beams that fell from the house, and piled them up in piles. The piles of bricks and wood stood abruptly in the wind, rain and cold, like small tombs one after another. Feng Zang smiled coldly.She has seen that Yang Yizhi seems to be a bit of a clean freak, and he will not give up until he cleans up his surroundings.All the ash, bricks and stones were collected together, forming more than a dozen large and small mounds in the station. She hates clean freaks the most.Especially when she also had to be drenched in the rain.Seeing how tidy the room was, she couldn't help but think how dirty the rain was here.The Bishou Hall had just experienced a great war, and after the war, the corpses piled up like a mountain, unable to be buried, so they had to be set up and burned.The ashes were raised in the air, like black ashes, which are still flying up to this day.Now, the ashes were all dissolved in the rain and fell on her body, muddy and cold. When she saw that the place where Xiangsi was sitting had been swept spotless, she couldn't help but want to rush in, grab her by the neck, and tell her to get out. But she can't.She had to be patient and wait for the most suitable opportunity. Both Yang Yizhi and the four of them knew what they were waiting for. It was pouring rain. It was also the time when Yang Yizhi and Acacia were suffering from hunger and cold. But fortunately, Yang Yizhi put a package on the horse, and there was enough food in the package.No matter whether Yang Yizhi cleaned the house or took the package from the horse, the four of them did not stop him. Yang Yizhi sat down beside Xiangsi, and gently handed the package to her.The two were so close that they seemed to feel her faint warmth.His heart suddenly tightened. He thought of the glass of wine he drank with Zhuo Wangsun a few days ago... At that time, he and him were like friends. If it is a friend, he should forget lovesickness.Him, can you? No. Because after forgetting, he will have nothing.
