Chapter 605
Bakufu, courtyard . Sakakibara Yasumasa and the Tokugawa Clanâs other great generals were already drawing closer . The guards and sentries along the way collapsed in whimpers, as if they were reaped straw . A while later, Sakakibara Yasumasa and the ghost martial cultivators were already bubbled into the imperial court like a black tide . They had innately superb martial force . Each person was capable of fighting a thousand soldiers . With this many people gathered together, it was obvious how powerful they were .
Suddenly, Sakakibara Yasumasa stopped his advance, halting in the corridor leading to the royal court .
âGeneral Sakakibara, why have you stopped?â Honda Tadakatsu said . He was known as the Tokugawa Clanâs number one ghost martial cultivator .
Shuffle, shuffle .
The others also came to a stop one after another .
A wave of water was frozen by a mysterious substance .
âLook out!!!â Sakakibara Yasumasa tightly gripped his spear and assumed an aggressive stance . A sort of indescribable feeling of danger made the hackles of the Tokugawaâs fierce tigers rise . Their hands clenched their weapons, their eyes reflecting a ferocious gaze .
Even from far away, Su Xing and Wu Siyou could sense this level of pressure .
Before they even heard it, to be able to have this level of power, this made Su Xingâs blood unable to help but stir .
Finally, the black night slowly parted .
A slender figure expressionlessly walked out, neither fast nor slow .
She had no killing intent . That person strolled in the bakufuâs royal court, as if she was viewing the flowers, her gait graceful . She looked beautiful, but the long saber in the girlâs delicate hand clearly showed her hidden danger .
Closer and closer and closer, the moonlight cast away the dark night, revealing her distinct figure .
Su Xing could not help but be startled .
The figure of the woman who approached was extremely slender, and her long hair flowed like a waterfall, hanging down to her ankles . A warriorâs pure white long gown covered her, freely matching the heroic air she exuded . Her absolutely beautiful face fit her brilliant eyes that were like deep waters . The gentle and beautiful moon did not diminish her beauty .
Her figure leaned, wafting a subtle fragrance . Each petal of sakura danced under the moonlight like red butterflies flitting among red flowers, dancing beside the young girl .
So beautiful!!!
Sakakibara Yasumasa and the others could not help but take a step back when they saw the girl appear .
The girl stopped . Her eyes slightly drooped . The long saber in her hand was very lengthy, at least two meters by Su Xingâs estimate . It was like a spear in terms of length . Although it was said that an inch of length was an inch of power, it was rare to see a long saber that could drag along the ground .
No need to guess . To be as mild as a flower yet as frigid in temperament as ice, there could only be one person in all of the Ghost Kingdom .
âUesugi Kenshin!!!â Sakakibara Yasumasa inhaled sharply, unaware that his hand was somewhat trembling .
Uesugi Kenshin said: âTokugawa generals who have come charging into the bakufu in the dead of night with who knows what reason in your minds, may Kenshin hear it . â
âEnough of your farce . You only pretend to be a god of war . You plotted against my brothers, yet you still dare to put on an act . â Tokugawa Four Heavenly King Sakai Tadatsugu furiously shouted .
âAre you drunk, general? Kenshin does not know what nonsense you are spouting . â Uesugi Kenshin indifferently answered .
This arrogant attitude made the fury of the originally frightened group surge again .
âGeneral Uesugi, perhaps you can help Lord Ieyasu . This Empress has never shown her face . Everyone in the world is uneasy about this . â Sakakibara Yasumasa calmed down .
Uesugi Kenshinâs face was like a dry well, nothing stirred . âGenerals, if you have no business, then please turn back . Kenshin shall not pursue your loss of control over drinking . If you generals take one more step forward, then Kenshin shall view this as a revolt and will retaliate!â
âWhat can you do if I take one step forward!!!â Takagi Kiyohide jeered loudly . He took a step forward, hsi hands gripping a large mace, like a tiger eyeing its prey .
Thereupon, the young woman stopped . She slightly bowed in courtesy, as naturally as water sprinkling onto plants . Her slender jade fingers gripped the shaft of her long saber neither quickly nor slowly . In between, she raised her hands, turned her wrists, and rubbed her palm . All of her movements were clearly distinct and simple that they made someone overlook them .
And then?
And then Takagi Kiyohideâs mocking face turn into an ashen expression of terror .
Her blade unsheathed then sheathed .
Before anyone could react .
On the manâs stomach, a thin line practically invisible to the naked eye extended from his neck practically down his entire body . It appeared like a single, ridiculous red line, but no one laughed . Takagi Kiyohide whimpered and fell over, already dead .
Cold sweat instantly slid down everyoneâs backs .
On the ground, the clanging of a broken weapon .
Two halves of the hammer were surprisingly cleanly split apart .
âGeneral Sakakibara, are you waiting for Uesugi Kenshin to kill us all one by one?â Sakai Tadatsugu roared in fury . Following his bellow, he immediately brandished the weapon in his hand .
âKill!!â
Sakakibara Yasumasa ordered . The Tokugawa generals flocked together, and the more than thousand ghost martial cultivators charged . The royal court was submerged in a black tide as far as the eye could see .
âUesugi Kenshin, do you believe you can stop us!â Sakakibara Yasumasa dashed over, sneering loudly: âA woman should stay inside the house and serve a manâs happiness . Allow me to cut down your arrogance â Destiny Crusher!â1
âMushin Cut!â2
âSpear Hanzou, Houzouin-ryu, Ten Thousand Broken Stones!â3
âHundred Slashes Exchange!â4
âFlying Swords, Tenpi-ryu, Broken Heart!â5
âBirds Roosting On Spear Slash!â6
The ghost path sword chants were displayed at their limit .
Uesugi Kenshin slowly raised her hands . Each movement was as natural as a fledgling inevitably flying into the sky, a fry inevitably breathing in the water . Each and every movement sublimated into the world .
The young womanâs eyes opened, and saber-qi bubbled around her whole body . In a split second, wind blew and clouds dispersed, and moonlight glowed .
Uesugi Kenshin smiled .
âTennyo Breaks The Sun!â7
âŠ
Before the battle could even begin, it was already nearing its end . Su Xing watched everything with slight admiration, for this god of war Uesugi Kenshin was formidable as expected . The Tokugawa warships outside Kyotoâs bay had already extinguished their lanterns . The bakufuâs countless ghost martial cultivators had begun their charge the moment Sakakibara Yasumasa ordered it . Could it be this was what it was like to taste oneâs own medicine .
Sakakibara Yasumasa and the other Tokugawa generals fought with all their strength to kill Uesugi Kenshin . They knew that regardless of how powerful Kyoto was, as long as Uesugi Kenshin died, everything would crumble . This much was obvious .
In Su Xingâs perspective, Sakakibara Yasumasaâs groups had brilliant sword technique . Perhaps they could not compare to the arrogant brilliance of the Azure Dragon Territoryâs Supervoid Sword Saitns, but if it was a direct confrontation with a Supervoid Cultivator, perhaps there would be some leeway . If this many ghost path sword chant adepts took action, even a top-notch Star General would be a bit pressured .
Of course, it was only a little .
It was obvious that for Wu Siyou to be a bit pressured by Uesugi Kenshin, their exit from the stage was already preordained .
âHow can this be happening . â
Sakakibara Yasumasaâs whole body trembled . The large spear he held in his hand already was somewhat unsteady . The Tokugawaâs number one Heavenly King gazed at the icy woman in despair, crying out .
Uesugi Kenshinâs pace was lithe and graceful . That long Tennyo Saber drank its fill of blood, yet it was not stained whatsoever . In the young womanâs surroundings, Watanabe Moritsuna, Sakai Tadatsugu and the other generals had already become corpses .
Sakakibara Yasumasa originally thought that if Uesugi Kenshin was any stronger, she would be the same level as Sword Saint Kamiizumi Nobutsuna . However, she had relied on her false reputation as a god of war to obtain her current position . The Tokugawa Clan had been honing its strength for the sake of this big push, visiting countless ghost martial cultivators and dojos . Even Sakakibara Yasumasa already had power equal to Kamiizumi Nobutsuna .
But he never imagined that he would have thoroughly underestimated the young girlâs strength .
âJust who are you!â Sakakibara Yasumasa roared .
âIs general tired? Then Kenshin shall send general off to a good rest . â Uesugi Kenshin indifferently said .
âHĂš . â
Honda Tadakatsu lifted his saber, an iaido slash swift to the extreme .
Bang .
Sparks flew under the moonlight .
The Tennyo Saber easily caught the attack .
But Honda Tadakatsuâs Shinkage-ryu swordsmanship was far from finished . His entire person rapidly closed the distance . He added to his sword even more danger, an even more fatal distance, an even faster swing . âIai Absolute Mind Slash!â
A lifetime of power was sublimated into this blade, impressive enough to render people speechless .
Uesugi Kenshin was startled . With a beautiful spin, the Tennyo Saber danced along, two stars shimmering upon it . It passed by Honda Tadakatsuâs body, and both sides stopped . A cut already appeared on the unblemished skin of Uesugi Kenshinâs jade arm, a shocking sight .
Honda Tadakatsu collapsed onto the ground wearing a victorious expression . He ceased breathing .
Sakakibara Yasumasa was in thorough despair .
Uesugi Kenshinâs eyes slightly narrowed . Suddenly, she leapt high up, like a launched cannonball . Her long black hair splayed out in the air, and the young womanâs figure abruptly vanished . She then suddenly appeared beside Su Xing .
âThis is bad . â
Wu Siyouâs killing intent had already been sensed by Uesugi Kenshin . Her speed was abnormally fast, and her blade was the first to attack .
âHmph . â Wu Siyou was already on guard . She stared at Uesugi Kenshin, her hand clenching Noble Frost Demonic Lotus .
High above, Uesugi Kenshinâs entire being mixed perfectly with the moonâs gentle light .
A beautiful, suffocating feeling .
âTen Li Demonic Lotus Dragon Slaying!!â Wu Siyou coldly acted . Her sword-qi burst open, drawing a swift curve .
âBright Moon Slash!â Uesugi Kenshin was like a god . The Tennyo Saberâs brilliant saber-qi was swift and severe under the moonlight .
The two uniquely cold and beautiful women traded blows in midair .
Heaven and earth exploded at the same time .
The splendid saber-qi and sword- fought like tigers and dragons, bursting forth without limit . Murderous intent drowned the royal court, plunging directly into the surrounding constructs, shattering them .
Bang .
Uesugi Kenshin and Wu Siyou each received a shock, pushing away from one another .
âAs expected, your reputation is fully earned . â Wu Siyou faintly smiled . Her blood could not help but flare .
âThatâsâŠâ Su Xing was stunned .
Uesugi Kenshin raised her long Tennyo Saber . Under the moonlight, a pair of stars glittered . This was astonishingly like the glow of a Star Weapon . Su Xing only felt his lungs choke, and he did not hesitate to flip open the Birth Treasure Outline .
The pages flipped through the volume with no wind, and Wu Siyou also held her breath .
The final page manifested .
Golden characters formed .

âStar General!!!â Su Xing inhaled sharply .
âYou two!â Uesugi Kenshin wrinkled her brow, landing gently upon the ground .
âThe killing intent we felt around Koito was you . â Su Xing recognized where this feeling came from .
âCould it be you two have drunken yourselves silly together with the Tokugawa?â Uesugi Kenshin indifferently asked .
At this moment, Sakakibara Yasumasa had already gradually recovered from his panic, âGeneral, sober yet?â Uesugi Kenshin slightly smiled .
As of now, of the Tokugawaâs great generals, only Sakakibara Yasumasa was left .
âJust who the hell are youâŠâ Sakakibara Yasumasa was already timid .
Suddenly, a ghostly wind blew, shrieking endlessly . A shadow descended upon the sky above the bakufu . Sakakibara Yasumasa finally breathed a sigh of relief . âGhost Cavalry King, you come at last . â
âTsk, tsk, this is honestly a wretched situation . It would be better to allow This King to devour this delicious general . â The Ghost Cavalry King clicked his tongue .
âQuickly kill her . â Sakakibara Yasumasa withdrew to a safe distance .
âDo not worry . First, let This King see just who is stronger, the Star General or her . â The Ghost Cavalry King smiled savagely .
Sakakibara Yasumasa did not understand .
Suddenly, a ray of saber-light fell towards Uesugi Kenshin like a shooting star . Uesugi Kenshin took a step back, a strand of hair severed by the saber-qi .
Sakakibara Yasumasa was astonished to see the attacker was a woman .
