Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 218

And the next moment, the woman who was attacked lightly landed on the ground, and let out a rude roar angrily.

"If you have the ability, kill it from the front upright, you bastard!! Are you a samurai, you group of souls!!"

This series of changes actually happened within a short period of time.Saito felt that from the time he raised his voice to warn her, to the time when she succeeded in avoiding the enemy's sneak attack with an unbelievable posture that he had never seen before, and swung the sword backhand to kill the opponent, it seemed that it was only an instant. matter.

However, facing everything that happened in an instant, he really felt a little surprised. That feeling was mixed with the worry and anger that had not dissipated when he realized that someone was attacking her a moment ago and he had no time to rescue him. A higher fighting spirit burst out.

With a swish, Saito's knife cut another person's neck, and blood spurted out in response.The opponent's body fell heavily to one side, and he took the opportunity to turn around, just in front of Liu Quan who was coming all the way from the other direction.

As soon as we met, seeing her rosy face due to exercise (?), and the bright smile on her face when she saw him at the same time, Saito also subtly twitched the corners of his lips.

But the next moment he realized something was wrong.

The two turned around at the same time tacitly, back to back and rushed out with knives in both hands, guarding against the Satsuma soldiers and the two ghosts who might come up again at any time, Saito spoke with a suppressed voice.

"Why are you the only one here?!"

Liu Quan panted slightly, and smiled when he heard this.

"...It's enough for me to come alone." She said in a nonchalant tone.

Then quickly lowered his voice.

"Listen, Yijun, wait a moment when I raise my hand at these guys, don't worry about what you see, don't be surprised, just wave your knife and just cut it down. Do you hear me?!"

This order is really strange.Saito frowned.

"what are you talking about--"

However, before he finished asking his doubts, the male ghost opposite, who was obviously the leader, spoke.

"Qing Yuan-jun, do you want to use your inhuman ability again?"

Tianwu Jiushou pushed aside those Satsuma soldiers who were still staring at Saito and Liuquan, and walked to a place not far from them to stand still.

Saito caught the key words in Tianwu Jiushou's words in an instant.

"Inhuman...abilities?!" His voice was rarely raised, full of surprise.

Liu Quan let out a laugh, but raised his voice a little, and said to the imposing male ghost opposite, "...So what? Can you step back now?"

Such an obvious provocation... Saito tensed up instantly, and clenched his knife with both hands, always guarding against the opponent's sudden attack.

However, the male ghost with unfathomable strength just said calmly: "Your courage is admirable, but you are too stupid.... This is the second time I said this tonight."

Saito heard the woman who was facing him back to back snort.

"So, who was the first time you said it to? Yijun?"

Amagari Jiushou replied seriously: "No, it's about your young man named 'Todo Heisuke'."

Saito felt that the girl behind her tensed up instantly after hearing Hirasuke's name, exuding anger and murderous aura all over her body.

"Pingzhu... what's wrong?! What did you do to him?!" She snapped.

Saito was a little worried that she would be provoked by that male ghost and would ignore it and go desperately like a lunatic. He lowered his voice and said first: "Yuki... also, calm down. Hirasuke was seriously injured, but I have let Shinpachi and Zuozhi go first Escorted him and Xuecun back to the village. They will find a way to save Pingzhu."

... Hirasuke was seriously injured! !

This fact made Liu Quan's sense of powerlessness and anger rise to the highest point in an instant.

After trying all means, he still couldn't save Hirasuke's serious injury and had to drink the ending of turning into water... How self-willed and powerful is the "plot inertia" in this world? !

At this moment, Liu Quan suddenly realized that she had been secretly working hard since a long time ago, and the reason why she wanted to restore Hirasuke's almost fatal injury in Youxiaolu was not just to restore Hirasuke, a boy who had lived with him for a long time. The new year, the companion of the Shinsengumi, but want to secretly compete with the plot inertia of this world, and want to use this as an opportunity to experiment, to see if he can win the victory against the entire world——

Yet she failed.

Reality... Or rather, the powerful plot inertia, without hesitation, slapped her sharply across the face.

Liu Quan stood in the middle of the intersection of Youxiao Road, leaning against the agile, firm and vigilant body of Saito, his only companion, surrounded by countless enemies, facing Amegiri Jiushou and Shiranui Kuang Such an unpredictable and powerful enemy felt a burst of deep anger, unwillingness and frustration.

...can't admit defeat yet.

Had to work harder...harder.

Because it is not only about the precious life of your companions, but also about whether you can win in the end.

The idea of ​​taking everything into consideration and obtaining Perfect Ending in a flexible and ingenious way has long been forgotten.

As she once said to her silent, reliable, and trustworthy companion Saito behind her at this moment, the posture of struggling to survive is not ugly, because life is a precious thing.

Didn't Munakata Reji once say that it is her shining virtue to work hard to survive when everyone is already desperate.

Keigo Atobe also once said that only by making painful efforts and the awareness of sacrificing everything can you get what you want most in your heart.

Gritting his teeth, Liu Quan smiled slightly at the unfathomable opponent in front of him.

In this world, there are always some responsibilities that you have to bear.Tezuka Kunimitsu said.

He also said that no matter how strong an opponent is, there will always be weaknesses.Even if you can't find the opponent's weakness in time, as long as you fight upright, you will always get a good result.With respect but not fear, don't be careless.

Liu Quan slightly raised his voice, and said with a confident attitude: "If you want to fight, then go for it! But if all the Satsuma soldiers you brought with you are wiped out here tonight, has Kazama thought about it?" How should I explain to those adults in Satsuma?"

Tianwu Jiushou stared at her calmly.

Liu Quan also looked at the male ghost who had just severely injured Hirasuke without fear, and raised his chin slightly.

Tian Wu suddenly said: "...If we retreat without fighting at all, we will be very embarrassed."

Liu Quan laughed when he heard this.

Speaking of which, these ghost people still don't believe that a mortal has the magical ability to stop dozens of people from moving, do they?They must have thought that at Nishi Honganji Temple that night, what she used was nothing more than a single-target attack.

Unfortunately, this is a group attack skill, Uncle Ghost.

At the next moment, Liu Quan suddenly whispered to Saito who was behind him: "Remember my words, Kazu-kun. No matter what incredible things happen - just chop it off with a knife."

Then, she looked directly at Tianwu Jiushou's serious face.

"In this case—" she showed an arrogant smile, "then don't be careless."

Tianwu stood there without moving, but those Satsuma soldiers who hadn't seen Liuquan's magical ability rushed bloodthirstyly one by one at Liuquan and Saito who were surrounded by them!

Without warning, Liu Quan returned his sword back into its sheath with a thud, and silently said in his heart [Everyone except me and Yijun, all freeze and cannot move! ! ], open your hands facing different directions on both sides.

A wave of heat that she was familiar with accumulated in her body almost immediately, quickly broke through her palm, and spread to the surroundings.

Saito was really shocked by all the unreasonable situations presented in front of his eyes.

In front of his eyes, those Satsuma soldiers who were waving their teeth and waving knives a moment ago were overwhelmingly besieging him and Qingyuan Xueye, and even the two soldiers who spoke to them arrogantly just now The male ghost, at this moment, maintained all kinds of strange postures—even running forward with his feet off the ground, or holding up a knife and about to chop off his head—frozen in place!

The street, which was filled with shouts of beating and killing just now, was as silent as a cemetery for a moment.

No, these people are still alive, and they can't be regarded as a real cemetery—he suddenly turned his head to look at the girl behind him, and subconsciously understood that she was the reason why all these unreal scenes happened in front of his eyes .

What the male ghost named Tianwu Jiushou said just now echoed in his ears.

【Qingyuan-kun, do you want to use your inhuman ability again? 】

Inhuman abilities... Sure enough, it refers to everything she does now, right? !

However, there was no time for him to think about it.Saito made a decision in an instant.

He rushed towards the nearest opponent with lightning speed, without thinking about whether the opponent was controlled by Kiyohara Yuki's so-called [inhuman ability] and couldn't move, so it was a trick for him to kill the defenseless enemy like this , he shuttled back and forth among the crowd, swinging the knife in his hand again and again.

His favorite knife "Ikeda Kijinmaru Kunisho" is the proud work of Ikeda Kunisho, a knifemaker of the Bizen country whom he admires, and it is extremely sharp.The Iai Slash he is good at is also a superb swordsmanship that can kill people in an instant.From before until now, I don't know how many times he has won the victory for himself by relying on the supreme speed and momentum of his Iai Slash, as well as the use of the supreme sharpness of "Ikeda Kijinmaru Kunisho"; It was the first time he had encountered such a simple and easy victory as hacking a scarecrow target in the dojo.

Before Qingyuan Xueye appeared, he had already made up his mind that he would have to go through a hard struggle—even a deadly battle—to get out of this place.It is not easy for one person to face dozens of people, even if he is one of the sharpest swords of the Shinsengumi.

However, Kiyohara Yukiba just appeared, and then simply transformed the scene of the death battle into an even very boring, one-sided victory.A few days ago, this girl who pretended to be an ordinary-looking girl from a town with a difficult personality, who stood outside the gate of the Imperial Tomb Guards' gate and cried loudly and accused him of how ruthless and unlucky she was, now turned into a girl he couldn't think about no matter how hard he thought. A strange person who really understands and possesses supernatural abilities beyond the comprehension of normal people.

When he swung his saber at the front of the male ghost Amegiri Jiushou who had severely injured Heisuke just now, the male ghost suddenly moved in an instant——he waved his hand, and took Saito's body forcefully with his own arm. one strike.

Almost at the same time, Saito heard Kiyohara Yukiha's sharp voice coming from behind him, and there seemed to be a hint of embarrassment and panting in his tone.

"Be careful! Yijun!"

Saito reacted like lightning in time, taking advantage of the momentum and leaping to the side, avoiding the next punch of Tianwu Jiushou.He heard Qingyuan Xueye speak sharply again with a hint of anxiety, and there seemed to be a panting sound like exhausted exhaustion in his voice.

"Tianwu-jun, can you stop now?!"

The male ghost with a middle-aged appearance paused.Then, as she asked, she withdrew her hands and took a step back, her light blue eyes fixed on Saito who was covered in blood in front of her.

Then, stepping on the blood and the fallen body, the only female member of the Shinsengumi, Kiyohara Yukiha, came up and stood beside Saito, looking directly at the two of them, Amegiri Kyuju and Shiranui Kuang male ghost.

"Let's retreat tonight." She said extremely calmly, "There is no value in continuing to fight, and you should be clear about this."

Tianwu Jiushou was silent for a moment.

Then, he simply turned around and ordered to Shiranui Kuang and other Satsuma soldiers who were lucky enough to survive: "Retreat and return to the Satsuma residence."

Kuang Shiranui screamed strangely, but due to the bad experience of being controlled by Liu Quan's magical superpower just now, he didn't carelessly provoke him, but said something like a complaint: "...there is no winner , Running errands like this every day is really boring."

Before leaving, Tianwu Jiushou turned his head again, and actually nodded to Liu Quan and Saito, saying "I'm sorry" before leaving.

The crowd receded in an instant on the long street, leaving behind a pile of corpses and severed fingers, as well as the whole road stained red with blood, as well as the fences and house walls beside the road.

The whole place was in a mess, it was horrible.

Liu Quan suddenly turned his back to the sky, and let out a long breath.

"...It's finally over." She said with a wry smile, slightly slumped her back, bent her waist, pressed her right hand on her throbbing abdomen due to exhaustion, and turned to look at Saito.

"Just now... your ability was suddenly lost in an instant, and you were almost hit by that male ghost. I'm very sorry." She seemed to explain in a somewhat awkward tone, "This is the first time this happened... Maybe it's because of illness. I haven't fully recovered yet, so my mental and physical strength is limited, and I can't use this ability after exceeding the limit. I'm really sorry for this mistake."
