"Shura Road" is a term that means a long unrelenting and ultimately ruthless battle. It comes from Ashura, the Buddhist deity of war, who originally was the god of justice, but was chased from heaven. The sutra's speak of Asura's war against Taishakuten (who interestingly is linked to Buddhist Four Heavenly Kings), which is where the phrase originates.
Ashura however does have six roads which are all tied in with the Buddhist belief in reincarnation. I don't think, however, this is what Kenoh is referring to as the Hell Road (despite the demon's wearing red) is linked to redemption.
