Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1486

When Han Lingsha heard what Kosaka Kyosuke said, her hesitation immediately vanished!

"No need, Mr. Kyosuke, I trust you!"

Correct!

That's exactly what I want—mysterious and enigmatic!

This time there's definitely no mistake!

"I'm glad you trust me. I'll pay you well."

When Kosaka Kyosuke saw that Han Lingsha was inexplicably excited, he was a little confused, but he wouldn't easily forget what he needed to do.

"No payment needed! No payment needed! I can't accept this!"

Han Lingsha, who was about to grab the sword, stopped in her tracks and quickly refused.

Can't we accept it?

Kousaka Kyousuke's heart moved slightly.

"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Ling Sha."

"Okay! Please wait a moment! I'll get the sword for you right away!"

Han Lingsha realized that she had inadvertently revealed something, and turned around and left quickly.

She didn't quite understand the ins and outs of the matter.

However, considering that it might be inconvenient for me to reveal some information about my benefactor, I decided to simply avoid it.

"..."

Kyosuke Kosaka fell into deep thought.

"Has someone already paid you?"

Despite having some vague guesses, Kyosuke Kousaka didn't dwell on it too much.

It's certain that the sword will end up in his hands.

Because the sword was forged by him in his dream according to a secret method.

Originally intended as a blood sacrifice for the Celestial Dragons and Gods, it ended up killing itself after sacrificing several gods. In its final moments, all its other subordinates also became sacrifices, and Long Kui, whom it knew, even cursed the gods and became a sword spirit. Finally, due to the explosion of various powers, it fell into a spatial rift...

It's really quite ridiculous, so ridiculous that just thinking about Kyosuke Kousaka makes me want to go back to the Central Plains.

"I need to calm down. Putting aside Nuwa's purpose for now, the power of the gods is too great. With my current strength, I simply can't win. If I get ganged up on, I'll probably die. I should focus on getting through this ordeal in Japan first."

The destruction of the world by the Yamata no Orochi is an inevitable calamity.

Calamity represents destruction, but it also represents rebirth.

—These days, Kyosuke Kosaka has found that he is comprehending the power of the laws of heaven and earth faster and faster, and he strongly suspects that this is the reason.

Isn't there always a saying that "heroes emerge in troubled times"?

Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't consider himself a hero, but he knows very well that in the midst of the chaotic world situation and the disordered fortunes of heaven and earth, a group of strong individuals will definitely emerge.

Now, he is simply someone who is swept up and soaring by the general trend of the times.

There's a very common saying in modern times.

Even a pig can fly if it stands at the forefront of a trend!

Although Kyosuke Kosaka didn't want to describe his state in such a self-deprecating way, he found that it was indeed a very apt description.

"Mr. Kyosuke, this is your sword."

After a short while of contemplation, Han Lingsha handed a long sword case to Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka gently accepted it.

"Thank you for bringing it all the way here."

"No, you're too kind."

"Thank you."

In the end, Kyosuke Kosaka simply thanked Han Lingsha.

At the same time, he was thinking about the compensation.

He remembered that the Han family wanted to become official immigrants here... He hadn't thought about helping them before, but now he couldn't help but think about it.

After all, the weapon that suits me best has returned.

Clutching the sword case tightly, Kyosuke Kosaka knew it was very light, yet it felt incredibly heavy.

It contained the blood of enemies, and also the blood of people you knew...

"Kyosuke-sama."

Shiranui offered a soft reminder.

Kousaka Kyosuke snapped out of his reverie and smiled. "Right, now's not the time to daydream. I need to deal with this sword quickly."

The sword case has a strong shielding capability.

This is a good thing.

Otherwise, Kyosuke Kosaka was worried that after he came into contact with the demonic sword in the sword box, the sword spirit Longkui inside might accidentally unleash a violent power due to her excitement at seeing him.

Having sacrificed the power of many Celestial Dragons and Gods, this demonic sword, no matter how damaged, could not possibly be much weaker.

They hurriedly returned with Shiranui.

Kyosuke Kousaka once again took the Demon Sword to a room where he used to forge things.

Swish~

"Solanum nigrum?"

"Long Tian—!!"

A joyful shout echoed in Kyosuke Kousaka's ears.

Before he could even feel embarrassed about being called by his randomly chosen pseudonym, Kousaka Kyosuke was already being held tightly by someone.

Kyosuke Kosaka recalls his memories from his dream.

At that time, because he could no longer bear to see the miserable state of many humans living in harsh environments, and the tyranny of the Celestial Dragons and gods, he finally became one of those who raised the banner of rebellion.

Understanding the principle that "unity is strength," Kyosuke Kosaka gradually gathered people together.

This included the conquest of other small countries.

Jiang Guo was one of them.

Like many countries, this country surrendered without a fight, and the king's only daughter gradually became a good partner to Kousaka Kyosuke in battle.

How are you doing now?

Knowing that Longkui must have been inside the sword for a long time, Kousaka Kyosuke deliberately spoke in a softer and gentler tone.

The blue-haired girl wearing a blue, long, flowing dress with a front opening has let go of Kyosuke Kousaka.

“Very good… very good. I have been hiding in the sword all these years because I absolutely cannot let those gods find me. I only revealed myself because I sensed your presence just now.”

Longkui released Kosaka Kyosuke and spoke slowly and deliberately, yet with an indescribable force.

Kyosuke Kosaka could clearly feel that intense hatred.

Unlike the gentle and sweet image that Kousaka Kyosuke portrayed in the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy," Long Kui in front of her was indeed timid to the point of being unable to speak properly at first. However, as she killed more and more gods and beastmen, all traces of weakness disappeared.

Yes, in that era of conflict between various races, weakness meant only death.

Next, the two reminisced about the past...

Another half hour passed.

Longkui had a basic understanding of the situation in Japan.

"Just call me Kyosuke, that's my name here in Japan."

Kousaka Kyosuke, not wanting Longkui to continue calling him by his pseudonym, brought up another matter.

Longkui frowned: "...What a strange name."

"I hope you can maintain the same personality you had when we first met, otherwise I'll be in a bit of a predicament."

Somewhat unable to handle Longkui's current tomboyish personality, Kousaka Kyosuke could only offer reminders.

In the past, when various ethnic groups were fighting each other, it was fine to be carefree, but now Japan can't do that, otherwise it will be caught in a dilemma.

"You have fallen."

Longkui did not respond and started talking about other things.

After thinking it over, Kousaka Kyosuke decided to tell Long Kui about the time travel incident, as he actually understood his female comrade's thoughts to some extent.

"What?! You mean you just returned to the present from the past?!"

Longkui was astonished as she finally began to understand the whole story that Kousaka Kyosuke had explained in such a dizzying way.

She hesitated for several seconds before saying, "The only beings capable of interfering with spacetime to this extent are probably ancient gods... perhaps Lady Nuwa?"

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded.
