Samurai Oni
TECHNIQUES OF EXCHANGING ATTACKS AND PAIN

Mizunashi uses a stick to push him across the inner wall of the river. Not only that, Mizunashi used his sword to stab Ningyou's body starting from the tail. After feeling enough in his stab, then Mizunashi pushed it to the body part so that it resulted in fatal injuries to Ningyou. His lower body was torn from the inside and outside simultaneously.

Blood gushed out and was instantly dragged by the river current. Ningyou still seemed to be holding on, she could still move her tail away from Mizunashi. But by holding on to the sword, Mizunashi will not be easy to escape from there. He was still trying to continue his attack until he actually killed Ningyou.

'Heads! The head!' He continued to scream in his mind, aiming for the most fatal part of the head for the yokai. But, not yet reached the target point, Mizunashi who was only able to tear it up to the neck only, has now been pushed by the swift flow of the river.

Ningyou was already overwhelmed and ended the same thing as Mizunashi Kage. Dragged by the river's torrent, to hit rocks or anything in there.

“TUAN MIZUNASHI KAGE! THE MASTER! SIR!”

All his men were screaming. Until an hour passed there was no reaction except for the increasingly swift flow of the river. Somehow the fate of the current Mizunashi Kage.

“No! No way! I should have replaced him! Why do you always do this!? Always play a big role?! Should You—”

“Mr Mizunashi, did it work? Or didn't? For a moment I saw the color red. Is that blood?”

“Do not speak horrible things. I'll look for Mr. Mizunashi along the river stream!” One of them volunteered, while the other would remain in place to prevent the little cursed yokai who had just come to them.

“Alright! Don't be dead!”

“Yes, you guys too!”

***

Three of the Hell Warriors were eventually defeated. There are two of them left. And now one of them is in Bama, the place where Akio is hiding.

“Akio, looks like they've come.”

“Come? Them? Who?”

“Who else if not the yokai. Other than that old geezer, the other was a little yokai whose level was no more than theirs. Even lower.”

“Then, I'll take care of it now. You better sit still, 'cause you're still getting frostbite, right?” sahut Akio's.

“Be careful. I'll send you—”

“No need.”

Akio decides to fend for himself, to face one yokai who has the stature of an old geezer. As soon as he came out of Kazuki Eichi's residence, he immediately faced him.

In addition, there were a number of samurai already drenched in blood. A narrow space would defeat him, but not because the attack area was a wide range. Even being able to split the ground, there was no plan that Akio could come up with.

He said, 'What should I do now, brother? He was able to split the ground, his movements and strength away from me. It's the same as wasting lives.'

Despite thinking so, he could not retreat as if this was just a match. Akio still drew his sword, Retsuji and directly attacked him from the front.

“What a fool.”

“As of me!”

An old geezer who should have been able to do nothing but sit quietly, was precisely this type of yokai capable of dodging every blade of sword that quickly slid towards him. There was not the slightest gap, his invisible defense seemed impossible to break.

Akio was struck every time he attacked, as if his sword was hitting himself.

“Ck! No matter how many times I attacked, surely I got attacked where I targeted?”

“Of course. That's because I'm wary of you.”

“The soul between us is connected. Whenever for sure I will devour that delicious soul of yours.” His tongue stuck out as if sucking on something. He proved his point by stopping to move.

“What are you doing?”

“It's not like you that every time you attack me, you're the one who gets hurt. Because I will attack you through my body.”

After which, this grandfather pierced his own body. Hollowed his lower abdomen, but the one affected was not himself but Akio.

“Ugh! Why?!”

Akio's body trembled violently, blood coming out of the wound that was considered very fatal. While the yokai who injured him himself did not look there was a single wound.

“See? This way you can't do anything. Our souls have been bound ever since I attacked you.”

“Ha ..don't joke!” However, Akio would not easily panic from being injured.

'If not mistaken, Retsuji ..' Now he is inward, thinking how to escape the soul that is bound to the yokai. Then he pointed the tip of Retsuji's sword at his own body.

“Stupid! You can't hurt me just by turning it around. You will still die even if you do that!” yells.

Regardless of the enemy's words, Akio unhesitatingly pierced his own body with Retsuji's sword. Not a single drop of blood came out of it, not even wounded.

Slowly, the eyeballs from behind the oni mask glanced at the yokai that was right in front of him. Then in an instant the sword blade Retsuji had decapitated his head.

“Cannot be!” His figure disappeared, remaining a voice that said that what he had seen could not happen.

“Kabur? You think you can run away from me?!”

Not accepting the enemy to run away just like that, he quickly realized the existence of yokai behind the wall. Akio threw his sword and ran over, but until there he stopped and no longer attacked.

Because,

“What are you doing here?”

The Akashi he felt, was not the yokai that should have attacked earlier.

“Sorry Mr. Akio. Because from yesterday I was always told to stay still in place, I became bored.”

“Your reasons are unreasonable, quickly hide or Kazuki will kill you.”

“Again, I will die when the Warrior of Hell is killed by you, Sir. So why am I hiding?” saith.

Akio, who was about to leave the Kazuki residence, unconsciously stopped his steps as soon as he heard Akashi's words. It sounds painful, I don't know what Akashi is trying to think right now.

“Don't say that. Live if you want to. Unless you hunt humans just like them, then I will pick you up as the god of death,” Akio said.

“Which I tell you is true, Mister!” shout Akashi.

“What did you say?”

“That woman told me. Soldiers of Hell or whatever, they reappear out of revenge against you. And they are the sustainers of all yokai that descend from the sky.”

"Yokai who descended from the sky." These words were never heard from the mouth of the tengu grandfather and now from Akashi who should have been too stupid to know about it.

“If you mean that prophecy. I don't know I can't answer it.”
