Introduction: An Odachi capable of killing those who cannot die.

Qin Jie casually drew an Immortal Severance. This one was named Opening Gate. After paying 13% of his maximum health, he suddenly drew the blade.

A thick, ink-like Saber Qi slash appeared in the air, creating a deep, bone-visible wound on the Shura's body. This wound clearly healed much slower than his other injuries, but it still couldn't completely kill the Wolf.

Immortal Severance indeed has a restraining ability against immortality, but the immortality in Sekiro has multiple variations. Among them, those with bug attachment and those who drank rejuvenating watercan be killed by Immortal Severance, but the Dragon Heritage Divine Child and his Contractors cannot.

After all, the Dragon Heritage Power comes from Ashina's deity, the Sakura Dragon. To kill the Shura, at least the Shura's immortal contract would need to be severed.

After confirming that Immortal Severance could not kill the Shura, Qin Jie could only wait for Genichiro's people to come and help him imprison the Shura.

He only gave the other party fifteen minutes. If no one arrived within that time, he would leave immediately.

Qin Jie grabbed a pill, then put it into his mouth and began to chew. After his health had mostly recovered, he once again swung a slash, severing the Wolf's slowly regenerating limbs.

The Dragon Heritage Power truly lives up to its name as the top-tier immortality. Even with the suppression of Immortal Severance, the Shura's recovery speed was far beyond that of other ordinary immortals, such as Dōjun in the past.

After waiting for ten minutes, a tall, armored figure approached from a distance. He held an exaggeratedly long spear in both hands and wore an iron mask on his face.

It seemed someone had been monitoring Qin Jie's fight with the Wolf all along.

Judging by his attire, he should be an elite of Ashina, one of the AshinaSeven Spears. It seemed Genichiro still retained a portion of Ashina's core forces.

Upon seeing the Shura, whose limbs had been severed by Qin Jie and who had lost the ability to resist, he was clearly shocked.

"Your Excellency's martial arts are indeed formidable—"

Rather than formidable, it should have been monstrous, but the AshinaSeven Spears ultimately couldn't bring himself to say it. Qin Jie said nothing more, then handed over the black Odachi, which was Immortal Severance: Opening Gate, to the other party, "Our agreement has been reached. The Shura's imprisonment will be left to you. Have you brought what I asked for?"

He was naturally referring to the map to Shuisheng Village. The AshinaSeven Spears took out the map from behind him, handed it to Qin Jie, and then prepared to take Immortal Severance: Opening Gate.

"Be careful with this thing. Don't draw the blade casually, or you'll die," Qin Jie instructed, then handed the black Immortal Severance to the other party.

"Yes, yes," the Ashina Seven Spears replied subconsciously. He seemed a bit nervous, unaware that it wasn't because drawing the blade would kill him, but because of the intense pressure Qin Jie exuded.

After handing over an Immortal Severance to the other party, Qin Jie, carrying the other Immortal Severance, left without looking back.

--- Shuisheng Village is a necessary path to Fountainhead Palace. The villagers inside, due to drinking rejuvenating water from Fountainhead Palace, have all become immortals, forming the best defensive line to protect the noble Okami people in Fountainhead Palace.

The villagers inside are extremely troublesome; they will mercilessly kill any outsiders they discover.

The path to Shuisheng Village is an underground passage. Due to years of disrepair, it has become desolate. At this moment, a faint purple glow flickered within the cave.

Qin Jie originally intended to enter directly but heard a faint sound.

"How about coming to pay respects?"

This was—Qin Jie was very familiar with this line. It was the line of a merchant from Sekiro, a member of a group called the Sacrifice Gang. He looked around and saw a man squatting in an inconspicuous corner.

"The Hunter is currently interacting with a merchant from this world, A Ji, a member of the Sacrifice Gang."

"A Ji is a neutral individual in this world, with a friendly disposition. The Hunter must not attack, extort, or coerce neutral individuals."

A Ji was a gaunt, dirty man resembling a vagrant. Noticing Qin Jieapproaching, he revealed a mouth full of yellowish-brown teeth.

"Friend, looking to buy something?"

"A Ji's goods require Sacrifice Points for exchange. These points are obtained by sending off the deceased."

"Current Sacrifice Points: 1658"

Oh?

Qin Jie hadn't expected to have so many Sacrifice Points. He thought for a moment and roughly understood why.

It should be because he had killed a Wu Shou before.

Wu Shou are born from resentment. He had killed one, and thus had 1658 Sacrifice Points.

"The points exchange panel has been opened."

A variety of exchangeable items appeared before Qin Jie, including the quite useful heng jiang candy, Gokan's Sugar, and Yaksha Massacrecandy, which Qin Jie had found very effective. Except for Yaksha Massacre, which cost 200 points, all other candies could be exchanged for only 100 points.

In addition to these candies, Divine Flying Snow was also for sale, but what caught Qin Jie's eye most were a few other items.
