During Alex's busy few months, some players gradually completed "Sekiro," and Jason Wu was one of them.
After he acquired the undead slash, he was about to return to the main city of Ashina.
He originally wanted to teleport to the Tenshu Pavilion in Ashina by sitting opposite the ghost Buddha, but found that the transmission function of the ghost Buddha had been disabled, and the system stated that the main city of Ashina had undergone an important change and could not be teleported.
What could have happened to Ashina City?
With such doubts, Jason Wu could only choose to walk back on foot.
Returning from the village to the main city of Ashina, Jason Wu found that nothing seemed out of the ordinary. There were still soldiers on duty at the gate of the main city, and a large number of Ashina soldiers on the school grounds were also waiting.
The only difference was that this group of soldiers seemed to be infected with the flu and began to cough continuously. Jason Wu sneaked all the way and heard the coughing constantly. In addition, there were also complaints from the soldiers:
"Cough, cough, why do I keep coughing? Do I have a cold?"
"I don't know, I'm also coughing out of breath, it's so uncomfortable!"
"It seems that some people in the army are already like this, and many are even bedridden..."
"This is not good, the war is imminent, but I am sick..."
"Well... but a doctor has come to check..."
Hearing the voices of the soldiers, Jason Wu didn't take it to heart. He moved forward all the way. When he came to the main building where the Tenshu Pavilion was located, he finally realized that something was wrong. Most of the soldiers had been killed, and the bodies lay on the nearby roof.
Only a small number of the Ashina warriors were still fighting on the roof with an enemy they had never seen before.
This kind of enemy was wearing red armor, a hat, holding a pair of knives, and appeared to be a strong martial artist. Each of them could fight two Ashina warriors, and they were completely unbeatable!
"No wonder you can't use ghost Buddha to teleport; it turns out that Ashina Castle has been invaded!"
"These soldiers in red must be sent by the inner government!"
"Definitely yes, there is no one else but the inner palace!"
"But how did the inner government do it? Their people have already reached the center of Ashina City, and the soldiers guarding the outer areas have not noticed it at all?!"
Seeing this scene, the audience talked a lot, but Jason Wu didn't say a word. He drew his sword and went to fight with this group of dual sword warriors.
He soon discovered that the strength of the dual sword warrior was quite strong, indeed above the Ashina warriors. He singled out a dual sword warrior one-on-one, drank the medicine a few times, and used up a chance to come back to life before he could get the kill.
"I see, this group of dual sword warriors should be an elite team sent by the inner government, similar to our current special forces! They directly launched a sneak attack on the main city of Ashina!" Jason analyzed in surprise.
After learning the power of the elites of the inner government, Jason Wu immediately changed his strategy and continued to choose the method of assassination.
Soon, Jason Wu first came to Isshin Ashina's residence. At this time, Isshin was no longer in the residence, and the sound of fierce fighting was coming from downstairs.
When he went downstairs, he found Isshin carrying a sword, fighting with three elites of the inner palace.
Although Isshin Ashina was old, his strength was really formidable. With a subtle and terrifying Ashina cross-cut, all three inner palace elites were eliminated!
Not only him, but also Emma. On the surface, Emma, who was a female doctor, turned out to be a swordsman. She used a soft sword with superb skill, and she was not at a disadvantage when she singled out an inner palace elite.
"Damn, Sword Saint Isshin is still so fierce when he is old!"
"Yeah, one against three without pressure!"
"My wife is also awesome, isn't she a doctor? This sword is so beautiful!"
"I'm a doctor, and I learn a few sword skills to prevent medical trouble, is there any problem?"
"Brother Wu, don't stand there stupidly, go and help your wife!"
"Yeah, go... oh, it doesn't seem to be needed anymore, it's been resolved!"
As they spoke, they saw that Isshin and Emma had both resolved their opponents.
"Hahaha, cool! It's been a long time since I exercised my muscles and bones so happily!" After killing the enemies, Isshin laughed loudly.
Emma silently put the sword into the sheath and reminded, "Master Isshin, please pay attention to your body."
"I know, I know..." Isshin replied with a smile, then turned around and saw Jason Wu: "Haha, wolf, it's you. So, did you get it?"
"I got it," replied the wolf.
Isshin walked over, looked at the undead slash behind Jason Wu, and then sighed: "Oh, is this the undead slash? It seems that what you got should be the red undead slash."
"Red Undead Slash?"
"That's right," Isshin nodded. "I said before that there are two undead slashes, one is red and the other is black. It is said that the black undead slash has the ability to open the gate of the underworld and bring the dead back to life."
Opening the gate of the underworld and resurrecting the dead, such a mysterious thing, is quite in line with the world view of this world.
"Master Isshin, now this Ashina..." the wolf said again.
"Hehe, Ashina is already as fragile as a mountain and is destined to perish. I know this very well."
Isshin shook his head, and the expression on his face could not tell whether he was sad or indifferent: "But as the former ruler of a country, I am naturally together with all the soldiers. We must persist until the last moment of the country's demise."
"Now is not the time to chat." At this time, Emma suddenly interjected: "Someone has found Lady Kuro, and please go to the Tenshu Pavilion quickly."
"Yeah," Isshin nodded, and then gave Jason Wu a meaningful look: "Wolf, you may face a very important decision next, but I hope you remember one thing: hesitation leads to loss!"
"Understood," replied the wolf.
Jason Wu didn't say anything more and immediately went to the Tenshu Pavilion in the main building.
After dealing with many elites from the inner palace along the way, Jason Wu finally came to the periphery of the Tenshu Pavilion, and he found a huge figure sitting in the center of the Tenshu Pavilion, and Kuro was not far from him.
The huge figure was dressed in a thick feather robe and had a knife wrapped around his waist. It was an old man with white hair.
"This is... a foster father?"
"Yes, it's the foster father, who appeared in the cutscene, the man who picked up the wolf from the battlefield and raised him!"
"So, there is another helper here at Ashina?"
"I have heard of you from Lord Isshin, and I know that you were close comrades in arms, and even started the war to restore the country together. Now you have betrayed Ashina and joined the Inner Palace, what are your plans?"
In the face of this oppressive man, Kuro did not panic at all, but instead asked loudly.
Hearing this, Jason Wu and the audience reacted:
"Damn, I thought it was a helper, but I didn't expect it to be a traitor!"
"Tsk tsk, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, the foster father, has also betrayed!"
"It turns out that those elites from the inner palace were brought in by their adoptive father, so I said how could they sneak in so easily!"
"What a traitor!"
"How dare I try anything," the foster father said with a smile to Kuro's questioning. "I just want to protect Kuro's precious bloodline in this troubled world. Come on, Kuro, come with me."
"Are you also blinded by the Dragon's Heritage? I have nothing to say to you," Kuro turned around and said coldly.
"There's nothing to say, then don't say it," the foster father's tone also became cold. He stood up suddenly, and against the background of his tall body, Kuro appeared very small, not as tall as his thighs.
