Chapter 22: Moon Hidden Spirit
He pushed himself up to the watchtower with his arms, looked at the red ninja killing spot behind the guard, unsheathed his knife and stabbed into the red spot!
"Forehead..."
He only had time to let out a muffled groan before his pupils dilated and he was lifeless. His body collapsed in the wolf's arms without even a sound of falling to the ground.
He pulled out the wedge pill, moved sideways to avoid the blood spurting out from the knife edge, put down the body he was guarding in his arms, and waved his left prosthetic arm, sending a few sparks flying.
Ninja tool-Shuriken.
On the other side of the watchtower, the guard was yawning and didn't even notice that his companion had fallen in a pool of blood.
He swung his prosthetic arm, and the shuriken gleamed coldly in the sunlight and pierced straight into the guard's neck. Blood immediately gushed out like a fountain, and he collapsed to the ground with blood bubbles gurgling from his mouth.
But at this moment, the wolf didn't even look at it. The next moment after throwing out the shuriken, he swung out the grappling hook and sent himself into the sky above the town.
He used a rope to change his body shape in mid-air and landed in a courtyard in the town.
It was like a wild goose falling from the sky into the yard full of fallen leaves, but it made no sound except the slight sound of dead leaves breaking.
Just as he was about to cross the courtyards and rush towards the central temple, he heard a scream behind him, followed by an old man's angry curse.
"Huh!? Who are you, you bastard!"
Without time to think, the wolf turned around and threw a shuriken to kill the old man who spoke, then jumped out of the yard without looking back.
Along the way, if no one notices you, quickly go to the next yard. If you are noticed by someone, quickly kill the person and never let the news leak out.
Although it is cruel, this is the stealth skill of the ninja. What's more, these people are all evil people who help the evil ghost to commit atrocities. There is naturally no guilt in killing them.
After a while, the wolf quickly moved forward and soon arrived near the temple. The surrounding houses and yards became more and more luxurious.
After getting rid of a middle-aged believer who saw his whereabouts, the magnificent temple came into view.
The temple is divided into multiple floors. Although the size increases gradually, each floor is tightly covered by delicate paper windows, not allowing a single ray of sunlight to enter.
He took a running start and jumped in the yard, then stepped on the wall to gain leverage and jumped again. He swung a hook in mid-air towards the eaves of the second floor of the temple and brought his body onto the eaves.
I squatted down to avoid being noticed, and walked around the second floor of the temple. Finally, I saw a red bridge on the other side connecting the temple entrance, and there were horse-drawn carriages coming from the other side of the red bridge.
The carriage stopped at the entrance, and after a few people got off, it returned to the other side of Zhu Bridge.
Two believers wearing the same attire were guarding the inside of the entrance, chatting idly about something.
Seeing this, the wolf quickly moved to just above them and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"It's really frustrating. Why do we have to check those carriages here all day? There's no way anyone wants to harm our Eternal Paradise Sect!"
"Who knows, but have you heard that the leader seemed to have gone out for a while a few days ago and didn't choose a saint girl?"
"I heard about it! It is because of this that those peripheral believers have the opportunity to desperately offer the saint to the leader, just like the Fujiwara couple who just came over."
"But the leader seems to be back today. I saw the abbot anxiously standing in front of the leader's room. I don't know what he was doing."
After that, the voices of the two people's conversation became increasingly louder and Little Wolf stopped listening to their idle chat and grasped the key points of the conversation.
The Fujiwara couple went in not long ago.
It seemed that he was not too late, and Wolf secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had already made up his mind what to do next. He would first find the Fujiwara couple to ensure Minako's safety and try not to fight with the evil spirit.
Next up is indoor sneaking...
After thinking about it, just in case the wolf took out a ball of mist emitting crystal blue light from the items he was holding. At the same time, the three paper figures also turned into white light and flew out of the wolf's body and merged into the mist.
He sat cross-legged with his hands on his knees. A blue ball spread out and poured into the wolf's body, making his body become illusory. At the same time, two large crystal blue characters appeared above his body.
The moon is hidden.
This group of fog is exactly the Yueyin spirit, one of the five descended spirits.
It is a summoned spirit that Wolf often used when he was in Ashina. It is very useful whether it is used for stealth or sneak attacks on enemies.
Looking at his hands that were so illusory that they were about to disappear, the wolf couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.
Just like the two summons that have been used, the effect and duration have been greatly improved compared to when it was in Ashina.
Now that he was possessed by Yueyin, he would not be easily discovered as long as he did not expose himself to other people's sight or attack others.
Thinking of this, the wolf, who had originally planned to hang on the edge of the eaves and then jump down carefully, chose to jump directly from the eaves. As he expected, the two guards in front of him did not notice the abnormality behind them.
Since they didn't notice, the wolf didn't kill the two men. Instead, it ignored them and rushed into the temple.
Inside the temple.
There was no sunlight and the only light during the day was candles. Many believers with girls were walking back and forth on the wide wooden floor.
Some believers took them into different rooms with lewd smiles on their faces, while the people who brought them looked indifferent and even took the initiative to send the girls into the rooms.
Who knows what horrors these poor girls will endure before they enter the ghost's belly.
Thinking of this, the wolf's heart was filled with murderous intent, and the red fire of resentment once again ignited a few sparks from the bottom of the wolf's eyes, and this time even the wolf himself did not notice it.
Where are the Fujiwara couple? Where is Minako?
They just came in and should not be too far from here.
Just when the wolf was getting anxious, a familiar corner of a kimono appeared in his sight. It was the kimono that the Fujiwara couple had put on Minako in order to please the evil ghost leader.
After watching the corner of the clothes turn into a room and the door close, the wolf instantly walked through the crowd and stood at the door of the room.
At this moment, a very familiar sound of a wolf came into his ears, it was the sound of a body falling to the ground.
Leng Lian opened the shoji door in front of him and stepped into the room. Before he could see the scene inside the room clearly, the shoji door behind him closed and the sound of wind whistled past his ears.
The wolf quickly dodged to the side and in desperation used his prosthetic left fist to strike in the direction of the attack coming from his side.
However, the punch did not hit the flesh, but hit the blade of a pink blade, knocking the opponent back, and the wolf also turned around with the force.
His face darkened, he held the wedge ball in his right hand against his abdomen, then twisted his waist and swung the knife towards the opponent's heart.
clang!
Unexpectedly, this attack was blocked by the opponent again.
He relaxed his slightly numb arms at his waist, but still moved his feet back and forth, staring at the other person calmly, looking for flaws.
Not an ordinary person...but why is there no life bar this time.
The other party also frowned and looked into the wolf's indifferent eyes.
This guy is so vicious even when he draws his knife on others. Who is he?
Their eyes collided fiercely in the air, as if sparks were about to fly.
Minako, who was standing by, saw that the two were about to fight, so she quickly spoke up to stop them.
"Mr. Wolf, Sister Kanae, please stop fighting!"
