…

From the Rakshasa's perspective, the changes currently taking place in Qingdeng really surprised him.

Qingdeng's eyes seemed to have been cleaned and became clear and transparent.

Although his eyes still flickered, he couldn't feel any emotion.

Suddenly, Rakshasa's expression showed uncontrollable astonishment.

Until just now, the man in front of him had always exuded a disturbed aura, and even the knife in his sheath was full of strong agitation.

But at this moment, the traces of uneasiness and anxiety were completely gone!

At this time, Qingdeng was like a piece of steel that had been tempered many times but returned to its original state.

The surface is gentle and pliable, but the inside reveals unparalleled hardness and strength, and contains a solemn murderous aura!

Rakshasa felt like the hairs on his body stood on end... He didn't hate this feeling.

A knowing smile appeared on his face.

Don't tarnish this tranquility - Rakshasa added silently in his heart.

He subconsciously slowed down his breathing, raised his left thumb that was close to the blade, held it against the blade, and pushed the Changyang Zhengzong blade out of the sheath just enough.

The two stared at each other... no, Qingdeng's eyes had long been so calm that even using the word "glare" to describe it seemed too intense and inappropriate.

"..."

"..."

Silence enveloped the space.

It was so quiet that it felt like time was frozen.

Then - Rakshasa, moved!

Choke, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Rakshasa freed the sharp blade from his waist.

According to legend, evil ghosts called "Rakshasa" have magical powers and can fly through the air or travel on the ground quickly. They are violent and terrifying ghosts.

At this moment, this moment! This man is really like His incarnation, striking out an indestructible sword!

Changyang Zhengzong made a loud noise, and a huge flash of light cut Qingdeng's vision!

Almost at the same moment when Rakshasa launched his attack... Qingden also released his own offensive!

In the moment when their lives suddenly shrank and then expanded, Qingdeng unleashed his sword-drawing technique - Flowing Light!

In an instant, Qingdeng's will spread to the tip of the knife.

As if it was trying to attract the surrounding darkness, the blade suddenly popped out of the sheath! It emitted a harsh and dazzling purple cold light.

The tip of the knife makes a crisp sound as the blade vibrates.

With the flash of the white blade, Qingdeng's eyes emitted a magnificent and dazzling brilliance like the dawn of dawn!

Deep in my mind, the cold voice declared:

[Ding! Eternal Talent: The Eight Banners of Invincibility, activate! 】

A brand new world unfolds in front of Qingdeng's blade!

A shining white rainbow filled Rakshasa's vision and the space!

Wherever the white rainbow passes, even if it is blue and green, it is only a short distance away!

The sword light cut through the atmosphere, penetrated deeply into the Rakshasa's sword and body, and then rushed straight into the clouds, reaching beyond the reach of the moon!

…

Rakshasa stared at Qingden who was still holding the sword in front of him as if nothing had happened.

Clang.

The front half of Changyang Zhengzong's blade fell to the ground, and the fracture was incredibly neat.

He smiled.

Surprise, regret, and unwillingness are three emotions beautifully mixed together in a weird smile.

"Nioh... well done... beautifully...!"

Before he finished speaking, his smile instantly became distorted.

A look of pain climbed onto his cheeks, and the other half of the knife fell from his hand.

He subconsciously raised his left hand and pressed his right shoulder.

There was the sound of something blooming in the air.

I saw a small crack on Rakshasa's right shoulder, and then the crack became longer and longer, running diagonally across his entire upper body, and getting deeper and deeper, and a clearly visible blood line slowly emerged.

"Lord Orochi... I'm sorry... I can no longer... fight side by side with you... I have to... take the first step..."

The blood line that became deeper and longer finally covered the scar that Tachibana Takayuki had left on his right collarbone——

Phew!

Blood arrows splashed into the sky like a fountain.

Like his knife, Rakshasa's upper body slid down along the extremely smooth cut and fell onto the tatami.

A waterfall of blood spurted out continuously from the section of his lower body that was stuck to the ground.

[Ding! Talent scanned]

[Successfully copied talent: "Locked Blood +7"]

[Introduction to talents: high blood vitality and powerful hematopoietic function; activate red blood cell metabolism, increase the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin, and enhance the use of oxygen and ATP by body tissues; activate the body's immune system and enhance phage ability; blood loss accounts for the total blood volume

"Huh...huh...huh...huh...uh...!"

Qingdeng let out a dull cry of pain and fell to the ground on the spot with a knife.

Vision, hearing, and touch returned to his body one by one.

"Is this...the Eight Banners of Muwan..."

Although he had just entered a physical and mental state of "ignoring, not hearing, and not thinking", he still vaguely sensed the sound of the system beep.

He couldn't remember at all how he had swung the knife just now.

He only vaguely remembered seeing Rakshasa drawing his sword, so he followed suit... That's all he remembered.

Ever since I copied this talent from Boss Kiryu, I have never activated it, so much so that Aomori almost forgot about its existence.

However, because it was Qingdeng's first eternal talent, and its ability was so domineering and impressive, Qingdeng always clearly remembered its talent effect.

When the mind and spirit are united and there is no confusion in the mind, you will be able to use a powerful blow as if Hachiman Daimyojin is possessed by him. When the mind is without confusion, the sword is also without confusion!

Qingdeng squinted his eyes and looked at Changyang Zhengzong and Rakshasa who were split into two.

Such power...it's like being possessed by Hachiman Daimyojin!

Snap, snap, snap, snap...

At this time, Qingdeng heard unhurried footsteps coming from his side.

He followed the sound and saw an old man wearing glasses walking towards him with a leisurely pace.

"Boss Kiryu...why are you like the officials of the "Three Chapters" of the Fire Thief Kai and the Enforcement Office, who always arrive late after the battle is over?"

"Sorry, there are still a lot of enemy forces remaining in Qingshui Mansion. It will take some time to mow the grass."

As Kiryu spoke, he shook the knife in his hand and shook off the blood on the knife. The blade he was holding now was a very ordinary commodity. He probably picked it up from the corpse of a Yakuza.

Yes.

"...Tachibana-kun, you did a great job."

Kiryu looked at Qingden who was still lying on the ground, then looked at the body of Rakshasa not far away, and smiled slightly.

"You have indeed reached the state of being able to kill things that mortals cannot kill."

When Qingdeng heard this, he was speechless and laughed.

"Boss Kiryu, how did you know that I had reached this state?"

"I can tell this kind of thing just by looking at it."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards Qingdeng, wanting to pull Qingdeng back.

However, Qingdeng shook his head.

"Boss Kiryu, no need, I can get up by myself."

As he spoke, he leaned on the ground with his knife, stood up slowly, and then walked straight to the door next to him.

When Kiryu saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
