Chapter 261

Back in the cargo hold.

Jingo and Dojin were doing their best to maintain the Moonlit Night. Seawater was already pouring through various parts of the hull of the ship. Simultaneously, countless Yin spirits did their best to rush into the cargo hold, only to be instantly reduced to wisps of Yin energy by the powerful Moonlit Night.

That said, Jingo and Dojin were fully aware that this was hardly something that they could keep up indefinitely!

The Yin spirits pouring in right now could still be considered puny shrimps in the grand scheme of things. However, they were keenly aware that the more powerful Yin spirits were still lying in the depths of the seas, patiently waiting for the time to strike. It was only going to be a matter of time that news of the situation at the hull of the ship reached the ears of Azai Nagamasa, and then it wouldn’t take more than a dozen minutes… No, perhaps there’s already a daimyo or two on their way to this place right now!

“How much longer is he going to take?” Dojin slammed his palms together. Beads of sweat were already rolling off his forehead. After all, maintaining such a powerful technique for a protracted period of time necessarily consumed a great amount of his true energy reserves. He had already eliminated innumerable Yin spirits, but the current of Yin spirits appeared to be endless. Furthermore, they were already knee-deep in seawater by now.

The Tengu army and the battle monks had all arrived at the battlefield, but their strength was still clearly insufficient. In fact, it wasn’t even sufficient to guarantee their safe departure from the Strait of Tsushima. And the only reason why they haven’t left by now was because they knew full well that anyone who attempted to do so would most certainly find themselves intercepted by the other daimyos who were lying in wait for them. In other words, as long as Oda Nobunaga and his two thousand five hundred cavalrymen couldn’t arrive in time to stir up the battlefield, the Strait of Tsushima would be no different from a graveyard at sea!

Hurry up… Hurry up! You’d better be able to break the seal on the Obsidian Heaven’s Eye Bowl before Azai Nagamasa wisens up to the situation. Otherwise… we’re going to have to face several Hellguards all on our own, and death would be the only possible outcome!

“It shouldn’t take much longer.” Ming Shiyin’s voice was equally grim and grave as he stared at Qin Ye who was still seated calmly right in the heart of the cargo hold. The lower part of his body was already immersed in seawater. That said, copious amounts of Yin energy were also pouring out from below him. He was at best half an hour away from opening Oda Nobunaga’s seal.

“Aren’t you able to do anything to stop these Yin spirits?” Jingo gritted his teeth.

Ming Shiyin didn’t know how best to respond to that query.

It still had the display of Justice Bao’s might and authority hidden up its sleeves. However, that wasn’t something which it could use freely and callously. In fact, it could only use it once. In other words, it was the ace up its sleeves - its hidden killing trump card. After all, Justice Bao wasn’t even on earth any longer, so how mighty could this lingering display of authority possibly be?

Of course, it wouldn’t be a problem to eviscerate the surrounding Yin spirits with a single display of Justice Bao’s authority. But… this is still a source of power that the Mirror of Eminence had once used to escape the great collapse of Hell!

Back then, Ming Shiyin had already consumed a substantial part of Justice Bao’s lingering authority on the mirror, and there wasn’t much left at its disposal right now. Furthermore, there were other variables to consider in the present circumstances, especially sin
