Especially the blue net that had just been cut off seemed to have been emitted by the handsome boy in front of her.
All of this proves that the newcomers are professionals.
Therefore, Yukinoshita Haruno wants to understand the truth of the world.
"Hello, sir, thank you for your help."
Otherwise, my sister and I would probably be dead here today.
Afterwards, our Chiba Yukishita family will definitely send a generous gift to you, sir.
Zhongli ignored Yukino's attempt to strike up a conversation.
Instead, he watched Katsura Kotonoha and Gokou Ruri, who were about to make their move.
Right now, it's more important to focus on the safety of our own people.
Seeing that Zhongli ignored her, Yukino Yukinoshita was not embarrassed and stood by her side naturally.
On the other side, Katsura Kotonoha gradually approached the black-haired female demon.
He moved the black katana he was holding to his waist, his thumb gripping the tsuba (handguard) while his other hand held the hilt, ready to draw his iaido slash at any moment.
Wisps of black energy began to emerge from her entire body, and her originally gentle and pretty face gradually became empty, lifeless, and cold.
Clearly, Katsura Kotonoha used her supernatural powers to descend into darkness, turning her emotions into a yandere persona.
Ruri Gokou, who was following behind, felt a chill run down her spine for no reason and dared not continue following.
Katsura Kotonoha seems really scary now.
Thinking that Ruri Gokou had stopped, he put the small megaphone to his mouth.
I plan to first apply a death-weakening buff to the black-haired female ghost, and then provide support for Katsura Kotonoha.
After all, her role is that of a mage.
Chapter 33: Katsura Kotonoha's Darkening, and the Yukinoshita Sisters with Different Thoughts.
A black-haired female ghost with a twisted and furious face sees her prey, the Yukinoshita sisters, being rescued.
Two more weak humans dared to provoke her, and she charged out frantically, limbs on the ground.
Black liquid was flowing from its mouth, and it roared fiercely.
"You wretched woman, I'm going to tear your hair to shreds, rip your scalp off, and make you wish you were never born! Aaaaah..."
The black-haired female ghost sped away at lightning speed, like a blur of motion close to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Gokyou Ruri activated her supernatural life-sustaining incantation, her expression serious, and her lips slightly parted.
"In the name of the Fallen Saint Black Cat, I hereby grant you death and decay."
The words passed through the lower-level magical instrument, the small loudspeaker.
The sound was compressed into a column of sound and shot out at the speed of sound.
Faced with an attack that reached the speed of sound, the black-haired female ghost had no chance to react at all.
In an instant, it was pierced by the pillar of the life incantation, and the resonance of the sound even cracked the ground slightly.
This is the effect of a lower-level magical artifact, allowing beginners to unleash lower-level destruction.
The black-haired female ghost, cursed with death, froze as she crawled, her spirit beginning to disintegrate.
Seeing this, Katsura Kotonoha, who was prepared, narrowed her beautiful eyes and furrowed her brows.
His originally calm steps turned into a lunge, and he gripped the black katana tightly, drawing it out with lightning speed.
brush.
A graceful figure, accompanied by a bright flash of a blade, passed over the black-haired female ghost.
When Katsura Kotonoha reappeared, she was already behind the black-haired female demon, slowly sheathing her sword.
What is Iaijutsu? It is about drawing your sword and slashing at lightning speed.
The pursuit begins with the very first strike, aiming to kill the enemy with the very first blow.
There were absolutely no fancy tricks involved.
So Katsura Kotonoha caught the black-haired female demon, encountered a curse, and instantly activated Iaijutsu when her weakness was exposed.
The results were quite pleasing.
The black-haired female ghost had been split in two from top to bottom.
The life-giving curse, now powerless to resist, erupted at this moment, instantly cursing the black-haired female ghost to death and turning her into black mist that vanished.
On the other side, Zhong Li saw the corrupted Katsura Kotonoha kill a lower-level supernatural being with a single strike, and he raised an eyebrow in amazement.
"Kotoha's use of supernatural powers has indeed made her combat strength formidable after turning evil."
Their combat strength has probably increased more than tenfold, and they are not much worse than those of their subordinates.
No wonder he's one of the originators of the "darkening" trope.
(How could someone who can behead the world not be awesome?)
Beside her, Yukino Yukinoshita and Katsura Kotonoha were so impressed by the extraordinary swordsmanship that their eyes widened in disbelief.
I can't help but wonder, is kendo really that powerful?
Even those who have mastered the art of swordsmanship, like Menkyo Kaiden, might not be that skilled.
Yukinoshita is more focused on Ruri Gokou.
After all, the sound pillar used by Gokou Ruri looks quite magical.
A single whisper cracked the ground.
That's definitely extraordinary power, making Yukino Yukinoshita quite envious.
He made up his mind to establish a relationship with Zhongli and the others, no matter the cost.
As someone who received elite training from her family, Yukinoshita Haruno understands very well how much benefit possessing extraordinary power can bring to her family.
It would also allow her to rise above her mother, completely control the family's discourse, and take control of her own destiny.
No longer need to worry about her sister's arranged marriage, or even her chosen husband.
After slaying the black-haired female demon, Katsura Kotonoha suppressed her dark emotions and gathered the dissipating black energy within her body.
Her empty, beautiful eyes regained their liveliness and sparkle, and her cold, pretty face became gentle and charming.
She was completely different from the sickly girl she used to be.
Katsura Kotonoha, clutching the black katana, ran to Zhongli's side, looking at him expectantly.
"Zhongli-jun, did I do a good job?"
Looking at Katsura Kotonoha's expectant face, Zhongli smiled and ruffled her hair to encourage her.
"Iaijutsu is really powerful."
Most kendo masters can't compare to you.
Encouraged, Katsura Kotonoha smiled and was very happy.
"Yes, I will work even harder, and then I will work with Zhongli Jun to eliminate the supernatural."
Ruri Gokou, who also returned, excitedly pointed to herself, waiting for praise.
"Lord Zhongli, what about me? What about me?"
No matter how I performed, I was the one who created that supernatural mishap just now.
Zhongli rewarded him with a pat on the head.
"Yes, Liuli is also very capable. She easily stopped the supernatural phenomenon with a curse. She deserves a lot of credit."
Indeed, with the magical instrument of the small trumpet...
Ruri Gokou's strength should not be underestimated. If the distance is far enough, she can completely curse and kill the black-haired female ghost from a distance.
After encouraging the two, Zhongli then turned her attention to the Yukinoshita sisters.
After all, they are the targets to be protected in this temporary mission, so we can't just leave them unattended.
The elegant dresses worn by the Yukino sisters were disheveled and wrinkled, and their fair necks had obvious bruises.
Beneath them, their fair feet were chafed raw from running barefoot, and traces of blood oozed out.
It was clearly visible that the rounded toes were twitching from time to time due to the pain.
"Now that the danger is over, let me treat you."
Without waiting for the Yukinoshita sisters' consent, he reached out to their necks, intending to treat them.
Yukino Yukinoshita did not resist this; instead, she took the initiative to move closer, a warm smile on her face, and said familiarly.
"May I?
"Thank you so much, Zhongli Jun."
Yukino Yukinoshita, however, instinctively tried to dodge when she saw Zhongli's hand reach out.
After all, it's really embarrassing to have a strange man touch your neck when you've just met him.
As a pure and proud woman known as the Ice Queen Yukino Yukinoshita, she cannot accept this at all.
But Zhongli didn't care about any of that. He simply tilted his hand and grabbed that delicate neck.
Zhong Li has no gentlemanly manners when it comes to women he's not familiar with.
His gentlemanly manners are reserved only for his own people.
Yukino Yukinoshita's face turned bright red as she faced the sight of her neck being grabbed.
It wasn't that Zhongli used too much force, but she felt very ashamed and wronged.
I feel that Zhongli doesn't respect her at all and is too domineering.
She wanted to give Zhongli a sharp tongue, but remembering that Zhongli was her savior, she could only hold back.
It's hard.
The proud Yukino Yukinoshita experiences being manipulated for the first time.
Heal the neck injuries of the Yukinoshita sisters.
He then squatted down, grabbed their two fair calves, treated their broken skin and injuries, and then stood up and said.
"Okay, your injuries have been treated. Call your family members to pick you up."
It's safe here now.
With that, Zhongli beckoned Katsura Kotonoha and Gokou Ruri to get into the car, intending to continue the unfinished celebration.
Zhongli has no intention of recruiting the Yukinoshita sisters for the time being.
There's no other reason than that Yukino Yukinoshita has a bit of a saintly quality and a rather awkward personality.
For someone like him who doesn't do things in a very honorable way and is very direct, this is a bit of a hindrance.
Yukinoshita is quite good, though. She's very shrewd and has a deep understanding of human nature.
But now is not the time to recruit.
Seeing that Zhongli was about to leave after treating them, he ignored her two beautiful sisters.
Yukino was stunned.
Is it because she and her sister aren't pretty, or what?
Are we just going to leave it like a weed by the roadside?
Aren't you afraid they'll encounter danger again, or be kidnapped by bad guys passing by?
Originally, Yukinoshita Haruno wanted to be the hero who saves the damsel in distress and build a good relationship with Zhongli.
I never expected them to be so ruthless.
Immediately, Yukino Yukishita became anxious and quickly grabbed Zhongli's large hand.
