Chapter 113 Heavenly Gods Can Be Killed

It didn't take long after receiving the orders from the front. A team of two thousand and forty Wraith Warriors had already arrived in the Joseon capital from the Jinshan area. At the same time, the "Ama-no-Sakaru-Koyumi" (Heavenly Deer Son Bow) and "Ama-no-Hane-haya-ya" (Heavenly Feathered Swift Arrow), said to be able to kill gods, were also secretly delivered.

"According to mythology, these two divine weapons were used by Amenowakahiko to sweep away the evil spirits of Ashihara no Nakatsukuni. They can even wound the ancient Emperors. How could a mere immortal not bleed under these arrows?"

Uesugi Kagekatsu, wearing black full armor, met with Shimazu Yoshihiro, Ukita Hideie, and other corps commanders in the capital. When they saw the divine weapons delivered, their expressions relaxed.

"With the highest divine weapons blessed by Emperor Jinmu, we will surely achieve success this time!"

"The Ming Dynasty immortal is dead!"

Uesugi Kagekatsu looked at the corps commanders, "Not only are the divine weapons here, but three immortals from our country will also arrive here soon to reinforce us."

The corps commanders all looked happy, and someone saw among the Wraith Corps behind Uesugi Kagekatsu, forty people with extraordinary momentum, and couldn't help but ask:

"What is the background of those people?"

"Ah... those are the resentful spirits of Izumo. They are powerful demon gods who have returned from Yomi-Hirasaka (the entrance to the underworld), the fierce gods of the Moon Realm."

"Emperor Jinmu has already given them orders to be under our complete command. Before, I didn't join forces with you, but did logistics in the rear. After all, my landing in Joseon was very short, and I didn't have time to bring them to the battlefield, but waited in the rear as a reserve team."

"And what they were waiting for was this kind of critical moment."

Those forty Yomi demon gods exuded a terrifying and fearful pale aura.

.......

During the great chaos in the Eastern Land of China, Japan had been undergoing an extremely long period of national isolation since the Song Dynasty. During this period, although many people were killed in the later Warring States period, some immortals from the previous generations still survived, although their numbers were originally small.

This was related to national conditions, and not because of talent. After all, no matter what race, some talented people would always appear in the long river of time, but in Japan, a large amount of national fortune was locked within the country, gathered on Emperor Jinmu, so that experts at the level of immortals were difficult to emerge in large numbers.

The matter of the Divine Kingdom had been going on for two thousand years, constantly failing and experimenting. Population was also a major issue. Without a sufficient population base, a sufficiently strong belief could not be produced. Although there were many immortal mountains and blessed lands, due to Xu Fu's suppression, very few could break through to the level of immortals.

After all, as a pseudo-immortal, Xu Fu could not watch a true immortal appear in his homeland. In that case, he would be replaced sooner or later, so he strangled those with true immortal qualifications, refining them into elixirs to enhance his own power.

Of course, although the whole country was under Xu Fu's control, there were still people who could be allowed by him to become immortals, but they were "pseudo-immortals" like him.

To become a pseudo-immortal meant being controlled by him, living in the Divine Kingdom, and becoming like an outer layer defensive tower. In this way, one tower, two towers, high ground tower, and Xu Fu naturally became the high ground spring.

Layer upon layer accumulated. Of course, if it was only like this, defense would be more than offense, so in addition to pseudo-immortals, false immortals were also a key aspect of development. For these things that only had the power of immortals but not the form of immortals, Xu Fu had researched a set of treasures that could provide them with long-term "renewal", which was the "Ao Chouchi no Tsubaki" (Blue Candle Saliva).

This was originally the precious medicine that the Satokawa hermits had sent to Chen Taichu. Xu Fu learned about this from the Ryūgo Trading Company and had them intercept the hermits' tribute, obtaining a sample of this treasure, thereby solving the problem of the false immortals' form and spirit decaying.

As long as there was an original sample, replicas could be easily made.

Xu Fu was very proud of this aspect. After all, he was an alchemist even earlier than Dongfang Shuo and Li Shaojun. Strictly speaking, he was also an old ghost of the Qin Dynasty, and naturally had his own pride, and would never admit that his alchemy was inferior to those later generations.

Therefore, even if it was a copied inferior product, the effect of helping the false immortals maintain their form still existed, although there were also side effects, that is, if one took this thing once, and then did not take it again, then the aging of the form and spirit would accelerate.

If they wanted to maintain their power, they had to keep taking this medicine, and Xu Fu used this to control those false immortals for his own use.

After all, these false immortals did not want to be so aggrieved in the world because of the decay of their form and spirit, and be unable to withstand the annihilation of the immortal power in their bodies and die.

And the reason why the hermits helped Ji Xiang and sent him the Cicada Slough Pill was precisely because of this matter.

.......

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, demonic energy surged, and a large number of demons appeared from one side of the mountain, fiercely attacking several cities!

Hwangju and Gokseong, these two strategic cities, if they were captured, then the Ming Dynasty support army in Haeju would become an isolated army, unable to continue the offensive, and would be surrounded on three sides and completely wiped out.

Tachibana Muneshige was originally attacking Gokseong Castle fiercely, but the dispatch order that came later forced this Peerless Warrior of the West to immediately go to another battlefield.

"Kato Kiyomasa actually died in battle? How is that possible!"

"The Thunder Magician... I understand!"

Tachibana Muneshige, wearing blue-black armor and holding his Rai-kiri (Thunder Cutter), led an army of thousands to the designated assembly point.

However, in a mountain road, lightning flashed in the sky, and it could be seen that demonic energy soared from the other side of the mountain, and obviously a large number of monsters were gathering and moving, in the direction of Haeju.

"The order I received was to rush to Gaeseong within fifteen days, and Haeju is west of Gaeseong..."

"Imjin River..."

Tachibana Muneshige went south along the Imjin River, starting from Gokseong Castle, and arrived near Gaeseong in a very short time, and just in the process of advancing, the demonic energy in the distance suddenly disappeared without a trace in an instant!

And the original thunderstorm weather became even more violent! Dozens of thunderbolts suddenly exploded in the sky, with a rumbling roar!

"Wait!"

Tachibana Muneshige immediately stopped the army, looking at the other side of the mountain with suspicion and uncertainty.

The demonic energy disappeared, and the original demonic energy cloud sea was also gone, and what replaced it was still dark clouds, but those clouds were thunderclouds.

Clang——

Tachibana Muneshige drew his precious sword Rai-kiri and looked vigilantly at the road ahead.

The road was wide, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky!

The surrounding moisture was almost completely evaporated, and the person who finally appeared in front of Tachibana Muneshige was a black-clothed young Taoist.

"Hey? Do you know a Taoist kid wearing green clothes, about 1.6 meters tall, and about fifteen years old?"

The black-clothed youth asked like this, with a scrutinizing gaze, and Tachibana Muneshige could almost determine it in an instant!

The person in front of him was the "Thunder Magician" mentioned in the previous battle report!
