Chapter 156 Assassination
A sudden heavy rain caused the Zhuxing family to lose their advantage in firearms, but Yan Xu was superstitious about the power of firearms and increased investment in this area. The proportion of firearms units in the army was not low.

Under normal circumstances, this army, with the assistance of cold weapon soldiers, would be able to easily slaughter several times more enemies. After all, there is no need to annihilate them all. An army would become panic-stricken and weak if it suffered 20% to 30% casualties, and it would be rare for it to hold on until more than half of its troops were killed or wounded.

Now, this army that has consumed Yan Xu's huge energy and resources can only act as spectators on the battlefield and have to be protected. How can he not be angry?

While being angry, Yan Xu couldn't help feeling a little regretful. He was still too naive. He knew that there were monsters and demons in this world, but he didn't take these unexpected factors into consideration.

But even if we take it into consideration, it is useless. There are too many gods and ghosts in Japan, and their abilities are so strange that it is impossible to defend against them.

"It seems that we must continue to strengthen the power of the Onmyoji and the witches. This is just the secondary island. If we go to the main island, it will probably be more difficult to fight." Yan Xu muttered to himself, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand suddenly and smoothly slashed to the side. The whole process was calm and there was no sign, let alone the slightest murderous intent. It was just like waving his hand to drive away mosquitoes.

The blade flashed, and with a "puff", a large amount of blood and internal organs gushed out out of nowhere, just like fresh pig offal spread on the ground. The ninja, who could blend into the surrounding environment like a chameleon, appeared and fell to the ground with his eyes open, not understanding how he was exposed until his death.

As the personal bodyguard, Hui Ruomaru's face changed drastically. He drew his sword and clenched his teeth. It was obvious that he was extremely ashamed and angry because of his dereliction of duty.

Like her were the hatamoto who served as her personal soldiers. Their faces were livid, and they wished they could pull up the dead ninjas on the ground and chop them up a hundred times.

The fact that the lord didn't even notice the assassin approaching him and had to take action himself was simply the greatest shame in their lives.

In fact, Yan Xu did not notice it either, because the other party was not only able to blend in with the environment, but also able to restrain his own breath without a trace. His hands, feet and body could also change shape to a certain extent. It was like a combination of a chameleon and a slime. How could ordinary people possibly notice it?

However, this ninja who can change color and shape cannot hide from the weaver's evil spider silk.

The intangible demonic spider silk has already merged into the air. Although the range is not large, it is enough to prevent him from being approached silently by the enemy. Therefore, the chameleon ninja who thought he had perfectly infiltrated was like a bug falling into a spider web, and instantly startled the spider girl who was lying on Yan Xu's body as a decoration.

After killing the assassin, Yan Xu had no intention of comforting his men. A mistake is a mistake, and ability is not an excuse. He couldn't wait until he was assassinated before pursuing the matter.

However, he still gave them a way out, otherwise these people would probably have to commit disembowelment to apologize.

"Follow me into battle. Let us wash away your shame with the blood of our enemies. Attack with all our forces!"

Facing the advance of the Otomo family, Yan Xu did not hesitate at all and also issued an order for the entire army to attack. There was nothing else to do but to fight head-on.

Although they were tricked, they couldn't lose. The samurai of the Otomo family dared to fight to the death, but the foot soldiers couldn't. Especially those farmers who were forcibly brought here, they didn't have much fighting spirit. In addition, they were worried about farm work and taxes at home, so they had no intention of fighting. In this state, they could fight a favorable battle, but forget about the brutal fight. Yan Xu's only concern now was whether the Otomo family had any backup plan besides the rain girl and the chameleon ninja, and if so, what was it?
In fact, there was a backup plan, but the failure of the Chameleon Ninja completely alarmed the target. The opponent did not have the confidence to break through the siege and kill a heavily armored long sword warrior under heavy siege, but he did not know that his hesitation almost killed the last teammate.

"Rain Girl, please work harder and expand the rainfall area to those large cylinders." At this time, in a secret place, the goat-bearded Onmyoji who had hidden himself was directing the Shikigami Rain Girl to use her innate ability to summon rain.

The Rain Girl does not have much direct combat ability, but her talent for summoning rain is a powerful ability that can change the celestial phenomena, especially on the battlefield. Just a rain destroyed the Iron Cannon Team and the Eight Treasures Army that Yan Xu had spent huge costs to build, giving the Otomo family the opportunity to turn the tables.

"Yes, Master." The beautiful but soaking wet rain girl responded calmly, and then the humidity around her became heavier, and even the kimono on her body fell down because of absorbing too much water, revealing her shoulders on both sides and the moist white rabbits on her chest, perfectly demonstrating what it means to be wet with a pinch.

Unfortunately, the goat-bearded Yin-Yang master at the side retreated quickly after just one look. It was not because he was weak, but because the corners of his clothes had been rotted due to moisture. The moisture of the Rain Girl not only makes things rot quickly, but also makes people sick. With his physique, he decided to give up and did not dare to do it no matter how moist it was.

"But who is the origin of this Moroboshi family? They are equipped with so many cannons and barrels. It seems that this job is not easy. Maybe we are being cheated by the Otomo family and the Mori family. No, I don't want to do this job anymore. I have to leave quickly. Anyway, destroying the opponent's firearms is worthy of the money paid by the two families." Although Goat Beard is an Onmyoji, he is a mercenary. But this time he was a little unsure, so he decided to get out as soon as possible.

Without further hesitation, the goat-bearded Yin-Yang Master released two waterproof paper figures, intending to notify his two partners. However, he did not expect that the two paper figures would stick to the air not long after they flew out, just like they were stuck to the glass. No matter how they struggled, they could not move, just like window grilles.

"When?!" The goat-bearded Yin-Yang master was shocked when he recognized the sealing barrier. He quickly spread out his hands and dozens of paper figures flew out. In a short period of time, he could only find out that there were barriers on one side and the top. His heart sank immediately. This barrier was larger than he had imagined, and its strength also made him shudder with fear.

The heavy rain continued to fall, and Qing became more and more anxious, because in this kind of weather, even if the Crow Tengu could fly, it would not be able to fly high, and its vision would be greatly affected.

Inugami was also affected. Even if he left his scent behind, it had now been washed away by the rain.

However, there are still people who are not affected, but Qing doesn't want to see that.

"Found it." Sha, whose temperament became increasingly gloomy, opened his eyes, and seven ghost warriors appeared behind him, making Qing shudder.

The Ghost Warriors are not very powerful Shikigami, but seven Ghost Warriors are something that no Onmyoji can ignore, especially in the hands of an Onmyoji who possesses unique secret techniques.

The invisible and intangible ghost warriors were not affected by the environment and weather, so they quickly discovered the abnormality, but Qing and Sha did not take action immediately. Instead, they commanded the sealing squad to set up a large sealing barrier to prevent the other party from escaping.

When the goat-bearded Onmyoji realized something was wrong, it was already too late. The barrier was jointly supported by ten high-level Onmyojis who were good at sealing. Not to mention him, even a great Onmyoji would have to bow his head and submit.
