Chapter Six, Her Blade, His Indifference
The moment he faced the attack, Mizuki only had time to deflect his head and dodge the vital point of his throat, but a deep wound was immediately cut out of his shoulder. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Years of ninja life made him swing the half-sized giant shuriken in his hand before analyzing the situation, and slashed towards the girl.
However, the girl only took two steps back and stopped.
"It's not right to kill someone if you want to......"
As if dissatisfied with Mizuki's performance, the girl whispered.
"If you kill someone, it's supposed to be like this!"
After speaking, the girl lowered her body and flew out like a bullet out of the chamber, the distance between the two had just been broken through by her in the blink of an eye, and the short knife in her right hand stabbed straight out at her side, and Mizuki only had time to raise the giant shuriken in her hand in a hurry to block in front of her.
However, just a moment of parrying slightly diverted attention, and the girl had already disappeared as if she had disappeared, and then, a hot pain came from Mizuki's flank.
"Ah!!!!h
Knowing the fact that he was injured again, Mizuki yelled in fear, and he raised the shuriken in his hand and slashed at the girl.
This slash undoubtedly used Mizuki's full strength, and the huge shuriken slashed down with exaggerated power. However, before the blade arrived, the girl in front of her had already disappeared in a flash, as if it was just an illusion of nothingness in her sight before, and she came to Mizuki's back and slashed it again.
It's also a chop, and the girl's movements are incomparably lighter than Mizuki's, but they contain a more brutal killing intention. Mizuki hurriedly turned around and raised his shuriken to block the girl's blade, but fell to the ground in embarrassment because he lost his balance, and just got up, but he saw the figure of the jumping girl holding the blade high, so he had to block it again.
For a moment, all that remained in the entire forest was the sound of the blades colliding with the blades of 'Dangdang'.
The girl's figure danced wildly in this dark wood, and the night was the most suitable stage for her, light movements, extreme speed, combined with the murderous technique that only revealed when attacking, made her constantly disappear from the field of vision of her prey, and then appeared in the shadows and stretched out her fangs.
The body of a child who is still five or six years away from adulthood, coupled with the fact that women are naturally weak in terms of strength, even if there is a basic attribute correction as a heroic spirit, if you judge it purely from the perspective of strength, there is no doubt that Mizuki has an advantage. However, when comparing agility, Mizuki couldn't catch up with the girl's movements anyway.
Straight stabs, flat slashes, slashes, the girl's movements are simple to monotonous, without any fancy moves, and no feints that can be called tactics, the only thing she has is speed beyond the limits of human reactions, but it is this that makes her the most terrifying hunter.
From time to time, she appeared at Mizuki's side, stabbing the short knife in her hand out without any skill, and sometimes appeared behind the other party in an instant, and the two short knives that were held upside down had already been slashed together, leaving scars on the other party's body and disappearing again.
In what can be called a crushing battle, Mizuki is only alive because his weapons are big enough and hard enough to be used like a shield. But even though he had tried his best to swing and block, the wounds on his body were still increasing.
The girl used her speed advantage in battle to launch a powerful attack that would not allow him to breathe, and then if he leaked a little gap, the two short knives would turn into the fangs of the beast and leave a bloody wound on him.
Will die!
Will die!
Will die!
"Get out of the !!"
Mizuki, who was oppressed by the tremendous pressure, shouted, and threw the giant shuriken in his right hand at the girl who was rushing head-on as he retreated, Jack's strength was agility, and it was too difficult for her to resist or block attacks, and as long as she dodged the gap, Mizuki could get out of the continuous attacks.
However, as if she didn't see the huge black shadow flying towards her, the girl continued to approach, and at the moment when the horse was slashed, she stretched out the short knife in her hand and slammed it towards the side of the giant shuriken, and then turned slightly in the opposite direction.
It was like a well-rehearsed dance, the spinning blade only curled up her pure white hair, and the shuriken that had been deflected at a slight angle passed by her. Then, with a turn of footsteps, the slender figure had already slid to Mizuki's right hand, and Mizuki, who threw out the shuriken, finally lost his defensive capital, and in a flash of the sword, his right hand had fallen from his body.
Ahhh
A roar of fear and pain echoed through the trees, then once again overshadowed by the sound of blades colliding.
Mizuki, who had lost one hand, was cornered, the wounds on his body were increasing, the blood that flowed out stained his clothes red, and he could even hear the breathing of death in his ears.
And at this moment, he saw the young man standing on one side.
Yes, Summer Night has been hiding from the side since the beginning of the battle, although I don't know where he got this helper, and I don't know why a girl with such strength at such a young age would obey him, but the fact that the girl heard Summer Night's order before doing it is the key.
As long as the boy is injured, everything will still have a chance to turn, at least the girl will not sit idly by and watch Xia Ye be killed, if Xia Ye is seriously injured, the other party should no longer pursue her, but can only stay to save her employer's life.
Mizuki, who had found his last way to survive, held his weapon aloft with his only remaining hand, and waved it as if he was crazy to force the girl back, and taking advantage of this gap, Mizuki turned around and rushed towards the summer night.
Now that his body is already about to reach its limit, and the situation has long allowed accidents, he has no choice but to seriously injure Xia Ye first to achieve the purpose of delaying the other party's footsteps.
However, the young man, who had been silent since the beginning of the battle, seemed to have no intention of escaping at all, and in the face of Mizuki who was rushing straight over, he just took out two kunai, but his eyes were extremely cold.
All Mizuki cares about is the boy's eyes.
Focused and cold.
By the way, it's like the kind of beast called the wolf that I saw when I went out of the village on a mission, the body is emaciated and doesn't have much strength, and the dog-like posture doesn't have much deterrence, but only those eyes have a terrifying chill for some reason.
It's obviously the boy who doesn't know how many times he has seen it, but only his eyes make him feel fear.
He wants to stop himself?
Mizuki couldn't believe his conjecture.
He still remembers that when he was in the graduation exam before, because the teenager was the only two repeaters, he deliberately looked at his resume.
There is no family, no background, except for the three-body technique, there is not even a superfluous ninjutsu, only the physical technique is barely considered to be upper-middle.
Ordinary and ordinary are the most suitable words to evaluate him.
Why did he dare to stand in front of him like this?
Why is he standing in front of him?
I'm a middle ninja!
"Give Me !! Death"
The roaring Mizuki pressed the strength of his whole body on the giant shuriken in his hand, and the accumulation of more than ten years of being a ninja and the experience of hundreds of missions were definitely not something that the boy could stop.
And the boy faced the head-on slash, but just raised the kunai in his hand and made a blocking posture on the top of his head.
While!
The sound of metal clashing with metal echoed through the dim woods in an instant.
The kunai in the young man's hands crossed in front of the blade of the shuriken, and Mizuki's desperate blow as a shinobi and the power of the shuriken rotation completely exceeded the limit that the young man could bear, and he was pressed to one knee in just one moment, and the palms of his hands slowly flowed out of dark red blood.
However, the boy's hands were still clenched to the kunai, even though the skin of the palms was worn out, his body became a humiliating kneeling position, and his teeth were bitten together with patience to make a 'crunch' sound, but only the hands holding the weapon did not relax in the slightest, just blocking Mizuki's slash and Mizuki's last way of life.
"How could it be ......"
Before Mizuki could spit out these words, a short knife had already come out from behind him, pressing and slashing on his neck, leaving a fatal wound.
The giant shuriken that Mizuki had been holding tightly in his hand fell, and his remaining left hand covered his throat, staring at the young man in front of him in a daze, and then slowly lying on the ground as if he had lost all his strength.
Xia Ye looked at him quietly, his face was pale from nervousness, his brows were furrowed from pain, and he gritted his teeth too hard just now so that a thin blood mark could be seen on the corner of his mouth, only the eyes were calm and unexpected.
"Thank you, Mizuki-sensei......"
The boy walked up to him and leaned down.
"I don't have any grudges, just because I'm involved in your plan, I must be killed by you......"
"Even if you run away, you will be overtaken, and even if you beg for mercy, you will not be forgiven......"
"You were the one who told me how cruel the world is......"
"If you don't want to be killed, you can only pick up a knife ......"
"Thank you for teaching me these ......"
Speaking of this, the young man's eyes, which had been calm, finally turned into a terrifying hideous and ruthless, and he raised the kunai in his hand high and stabbed it towards Mizuki's chest.
Mizuki opened his mouth and tried to say something, but all he could do was make a meaningless sound like 'cluck', and his expression, which had been distorted by pain, was gradually replaced by confusion and surprise, and finally lost all luster and turned dull.
Soon after, the morning sun slowly rose......
