Chapter 85 A New World
White light pierced the darkness.
Like lightning streaking across the night sky.
In that instant, Kazama Ruri finally saw the true nature of the thing outside the window.
It was a humanoid creature whose entire body was covered in this mysterious black substance.
It is described as a humanoid creature because even Kazama Ruri, who has seen many strange scenes, cannot confirm whether the other party is actually human.
Before she could even ponder how this strange man had managed to break through layers of guards and find this place, Kazama Ruri swiftly swung her long sword down before the black substance could completely surround her.
The blade flashed endlessly in the black tide, but no matter how many tricks he used, he could only barely cut through the black fluid that almost surrounded him.
After escaping her predicament, Kazama Ruri leaped onto the rooftop of the Gokurakukan, her eyes having quietly turned gold without her noticing.
A hint of apprehension flickered in his eyes.
"Who are you?" Kazama Ruri asked coldly.
But the strange man who had also followed him and leaped onto the roof remained silent.
The churning black fluid finally solidified at this moment, transforming into a hideous black armor that covered the strange man's body.
"Where is Tachibana Masamune?" A cold voice rang out from the black-armored monster.
It turns out they were from the Hebizaki family.
Kazama Ruri snorted coldly, but a seed of apprehension had already been planted in her heart.
As expected of a family that has lasted for thousands of years, they found this place so quickly, and there is no record of this person in the family's information.
However, as long as it's not my brother and that girl who come...
At this moment, Kazama Ruri's handsome face displayed an expression that resembled that of a demon.
Or perhaps he was a demon, a demon who should have died but returned to the human world from hell because of his obsession.
He grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and his entire body swayed, his wide kimono fluttering in the wind like a bird spreading its wings.
The spider lilies on the hem of her dress had fully bloomed, seemingly foreshadowing death to come.
boom!
The long swords clashed, producing a resounding clang of metal striking metal.
Since joining the Demon Clan, Kazama Ruri has mastered swordsmanship to an unfathomable level in a very short time. It can be said that no one in the entire Demon Clan can withstand a single strike from him.
"It's just showing off my limited skills before an expert." Kazama Ruri's arm holding the sword moved so fast that only afterimages remained.
However, what surprised him greatly was that with each of his strikes...
Or to be more precise, every one of his strikes was blocked by the black-armored monster in front of him.
The timing of the attack was incredibly precise, as if Kazama Ruri's sword had deliberately struck her.
An unnamed anger surged in his heart. His opponent's swordsmanship was clearly far superior to his own. The reason they were still locked in a stalemate was simply because his opponent was toying with him.
You forced me to do this.
Kazama Ruri's heart stirred, and golden light shone brightly in her eyes.
The power known as Dragon Blood surged and churned in his veins, and fine, bluish-black scales grew rapidly beneath his skin, all of which was hidden beneath his wide kimono.
Kazama Ruri increased the force in his wrist several times over, and he slashed down at the black-armored monster's head, not believing that the monster could block this blow.
He could already picture the scene of his opponent charging at him with his sword, only to have his sword cleaved in two by his own blade, and then being sliced in half.
Thinking of this, Kazama Ruri couldn't help but grin.
He even felt a little regretful that the other person had died so easily.
This black-armored monster clearly harbors the secrets of the Hebizaki family, and the power he possesses is also strangely different from the Word Power he is familiar with. It would be great if I could take this power under my control.
However, before regret could set in, a crisp "clang" interrupted Kazama Ruri's thoughts.
His long sword, which he had just swung down, was blocked by the black-armored monster's black sword, and he couldn't move an inch.
How could that be?
Kazama Ruri was terrified. Everything that had happened today was challenging his understanding of the world.
But today, the strength he was so proud of repeatedly thwarted him, which really surprised him.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" he muttered to himself, then with a speed that no one could detect, he retracted his long sword and slashed down again.
Ding ding ding ding!
A series of sounds of swords clashing rang out.
The power that Kazama Ruri was so proud of was a joke in the face of the black-armored monster's impenetrable defense.
Rage consumed the little reason he had left after being cleansed by the dragon blood. Kazama Ruri's long hair, which had been tied up, was now scattered and fluttering in mid-air, making her look like a madman.
His swordsmanship became increasingly chaotic, and at this moment he was fighting entirely on instinct.
He swung it up, chopped it down, swung it up, chopped it down… He mechanically repeated this action until the ancient sword, which was said to have slain a great demon and had been enshrined in the temple for a hundred years, suddenly broke in two. Only then did Kazama Ruri come to her senses.
At that moment, a black blade, made of some unknown material and exceptionally hard, was already pressed against his neck.
"You were sent by Genjiro, weren't you?" Even at this point, Kazama Ruri still didn't give in. He said in a mocking tone, "What? He doesn't dare to come himself?"
"I've been thinking about him constantly, ever since that day down the well." He paused, his voice suddenly turning icy cold. "My dear brother, why didn't you come yourself?"
Kazama Ruri was certain that the other party possessed some kind of communication device capable of transmitting real-time images and sounds from the front lines.
His cowardly brother must be watching him through the device right now.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with the black-armored monster's cold, emotionless reply: "Where is Tachibana Masamune?"
Lu Mingfei felt that there were a lot of lunatics and perverts in Japan. This guy in front of him, who seemed to be a small leader, was somewhat interesting, but that was about it.
After being knocked down, he mumbled a lot of nonsense, but unfortunately, his Japanese was only so-so, and he couldn't understand what the other person was trying to say at all.
It seems to be saying that his brother will avenge him?
This is probably what they mean by "the younger one gets beaten up, and then the older one comes along."
Lu Mingfei thought to himself, as for how he found this place, he had to thank Xiaobai.
Upon learning that Old Tang and Fenrir had also been kidnapped, Little White, who had been drowsy due to the change in environment, perked up and kept rubbing its head against his fingers.
He recalled that in the capital of the Eastern Kingdom, Xiaobai had led him to Nibelungen, the king of the earth and mountains.
So this time, Lu Mingfei simply let go of Xiaobai's restraints and let it lead the way. In the end, they actually found the mysterious building located in the suburbs after many twists and turns.
Therefore, it is clear that Xiaobai's period of deep sleep is a sign of its growth.
The spirit pets in the book are all like this, and their abilities will improve significantly as they grow.
It matches! It matches perfectly!
Presumably, once his Four Symbols power is perfected, he will be able to shatter the void and leave this place!
With this thought in mind, Lu Mingfei tightened his grip on the knife slightly. If the other party still couldn't reveal Tachibana Masamune's whereabouts, then he wouldn't hesitate to...
Hahahaha!
Kazama Ruri suddenly burst into laughter.
"My foolish brother..." His voice became ethereal and distant, as if it came from a very far place.
"The game hasn't started yet!"
Lu Mingfei blinked, and in that instant, the world had completely changed.
