Chapter 138 This is my last act of filial piety
Although he became a monster, it was not for long, so he still had some human instincts. When facing the road ahead, Fukushima Daimyo couldn't help but avoid the ruins on both sides, chose to clear the city gate, and began to slow down, because his body was too big, and if he didn't slow down, he would crash into it.
At this moment, with a hissing sound, the sound of rapid burning and the smell of gunpowder came out at the same time. Before Fukushima Daimyo could react, the ground under the city gate collapsed first, and then the flames that shot up into the sky directly destroyed the entire city gate, throwing tons of bricks and soil into the air hundreds of meters high, and a large pit nearly two meters deep appeared on the ground.
The ten gas tanks filled with various materials that were buried there last night and the ninjas who had been lurking all night had disappeared without a trace, but Fukushima Daimyo was successfully thrown dozens of meters away like an earthworm on a fishhook. The whole snake was broken into several sections, connected only by skin and flesh. It can be seen that even a half-step great demon cannot withstand flammable and explosive items, so don't ignore the places with fire prevention labels.
"Let's go and see our father-in-law off for the last time. This is our last act of filial piety." Yan Xu handed a ceramic basin to Fukushima Hime, who was confused.
"what is this?"
"It's a custom. When you're told to fall, just fall hard." Yan Xu explained.
At this point, Yan Xu certainly would not take any more risks, so he ordered the arsenal to go over and shoot a round in the face first.
Three hundred lead bullets made the entire snake head fatter. In addition, there were warriors with explosives tied around their bodies, holding on to the thick and long body of Fukushima Daimyo with a fearless attitude. As long as the snake dared to move, these warriors would pull the strings, and the instantly ignited fuse would not give the other party a chance to react.
"How pitiful! It seems he has nothing to say." Yan Xu did not expect his men to be so excessive. His head and face were almost broken, and his mouth could not even be seen clearly. What could he say? Therefore, the hospice care environment could be skipped.
However, Daimyo Fukushima was still conscious, and as if he sensed Princess Fukushima's arrival, a faint hissing sound came out of his broken throat, and then he twisted his body with his last bit of strength, and a weakly beating heart hung out of his broken chest, like a ripe fruit waiting to be picked.
"What is this?" Yan Xu frowned as he looked at the blood-red ruby in the heart of the Daimyo Fukushima. Because it was glowing, he could see it clearly even in the heart. Could it be the ancestral radiation? ! This thing also has to be passed down from generation to generation? !
"It's the crystallization of Xiangliu's flesh and blood." Princess Fukushima looked at Daimyo Fukushima's unrecognizable face with some sadness. When she found that she could no longer see any familiar place, she finally restrained all her emotions and said to her husband.
"It sounds interesting." Yan Xu knew that this was the point he had always overlooked, so he motioned for her to explain in detail.
Xiangliu is a legendary evil god from ancient times, with a snake body and nine heads. He has eaten countless people and turned wherever he went into a swamp. Even though he was killed by Dayu, the poisonous blood that flowed out made the earth lose its vitality. In the end, they could only build a high platform with the help of the gods from all sides to seal him. It can be seen how powerful he is.
The secret treasure of the Xiangliang family, the flesh and blood of Xiangliu, is of course not the one killed by Dayu, but from another Xiangliu, because the Xiangliu are a clan.
This one somehow made its way to Japan and was called the Yamata-no-Orochi. It caused quite a bit of trouble for a while, but later disappeared, leaving behind only this piece of flesh and blood.
Because of his extraordinary origin, the power contained in Xiangliu's flesh and blood is absolutely incomparable to that of ordinary monsters. Therefore, Daimyo Fukushima not only ruined himself, but also buried the entire Fukushima family with him.
If it weren't for the last bit of kindness and the fact that his daughter married off to the right man, I'm afraid even the last trace of her bloodline would have been cut off.
In fact, Fukushima Daimyo is only one step away from success. After absorbing the vitality of all the blood of the Fukushima family, as long as he swallows the pure-blooded Fukushima Princess as an enlightenment, Fukushima Daimyo can not only become a great demon, but also obtain a trace of the real Xiangliu blood.
Unfortunately, he has a good son-in-law who does things for him very efficiently and enthusiastically, and the scene is quite explosive.
Therefore, the Daimyo of Fukushima could only donate the purified flesh and blood crystals to do his final part to continue the bloodline of the Fukushima family.
If Yan Xu chose to swallow this piece of flesh and blood crystal, he, who was already extraordinary, would most likely be transformed into a great demon immediately and possess a trace of the blood of the Dragon Girl and Xiangliu.
It's an exaggeration to say that he could ascend to heaven in one step. If he practiced diligently, with these advantages, it wouldn't be a problem to become a half-step immortal in the mortal world. However, Yan Xu was quite satisfied with his human identity, especially now that he had become extraordinary through his own efforts.
Moreover, the person most suitable for fusing the flesh and blood crystal was not him, but Princess Fukushima. After all, that flesh and blood crystal contained the blood of the Dragon Girl and Xiangliu.
The only question now is whether Yan Xu is willing, or whether he dares.
The two parties are husband and wife in name only, but everyone knows what is really going on.
Princess Fukushima's current strength has reached the level of a swordsman, and this is not her limit, so once she is fused with the flesh and blood crystals, her strength will surely skyrocket. Maybe no one in the entire Moroboshi family can beat her.
Even Yan Xu couldn't guarantee it, because the gap between his lower limit and upper limit was quite large. Once he used his ultimate power, there would be very few people in Japan who could withstand one of his attacks. The problem was that even though he used his ultimate power, he was not that strong in normal conditions.
"I am willing to give up my human identity, become my husband's Shikigami, and protect the inheritance of the Moroboshi family for generations." Princess Fukushima, who was no longer a human, saw things more clearly, more far-sightedly, and more decisively than Yan Xu, so she spoke first.
What are Shikigami? To put it bluntly, they are alternative slaves. The relationship between trainers and Pokémon is not as equal as that between them. This shows how determined Fukushima-hime is.
Faced with Fukushima-hime's decision, Yan Xu did not hypocritically reject it, but considered it seriously.
Face and machismo are no longer within Yan Xu's consideration.
If you do something stupid in the modern world, at most you will lose some money and property. As long as you don't think too hard about it, there will always be a chance to try again.
But in this world, the cost of being stupid is too high, so Yan Xu is unwilling to take the risk.
What's more, the reason she faces this choice is mainly because Princess Fukushima does not intend to give up the fusion of the flesh and blood crystals.
As long as she is willing to give up, Princess Fukushima will still be the wife of the head of the Moroboshi family, with a status second only to the emperor, enjoying material things far beyond this era, and can also pass on the bloodline of the Fukushima family.
So since she chooses power, she must bear the consequences and costs.
After sealing the flesh and blood crystals in the treasure box of the Sagara family, Yan Xu summoned Qing, Sha, Sen Ya, Yu and others to discuss the feasibility of this matter.
After inspection by the four people, they found that this flesh and blood crystal was very pure and contained powerful blood power, but it also concealed a trace of the residual soul of Daimyo Fukushima.
This problem is easy to solve. A ceremony can completely purify it, allowing the Fukushima Daimyo to leave cleanly without leaving any residue.
Next is the problem of Fukushima-hime fusing the essence of flesh and blood with the transformation of Shikigami, which is also easy to solve. The most difficult part is actually binding with Yan Xu.
