The Louguan Sword sliced through the air and turned into a slashing silver wave with an astonishing momentum.

Cold weapons are just the wreckage abandoned by the times -- this kind of idea, which has begun to become popular in the modern era of vigorous development, has little place in front of the sword of the soul demon dream.

Tanks, tanks, battle fighters, if you will, this sword is enough to split an entire aircraft carrier horizontally, and not many existing weapons of war can withstand this sword.

This is something that cannot be mass-produced by human intelligence, and unlike technology, which can benefit all people equally, it is a unique power that only creatures with talent, will, and determination can have.

Soul Youmu is a talented swordsman, not as good as her grandfather, but one day she can surpass him.

What she lacks is the precipitation of time and the accumulation of experience. However, it doesn't matter, she is still an immature child now, even if she has all kinds of shortcomings, it is understandable, and she is so hard-working, so hard-working, these can make her growth progress significantly faster.

Unfortunately, she picked the wrong opponent.

Unlike the soul youmeng, the human Hakurei Reimu is even younger than the girl, but her power is as unfathomable as those who have spent an unknown number of centuries, which of course has nothing to do with the shrine maiden's own genius, but there is only one reason for this decisive difference - she is a Hakurei shrine maiden, and that's it.

Why is the Hirori Shrine Maiden powerful?

Because of fate, so strong.

Her very existence is a symbol of a certain mission. In order to face her own fate, she was endowed with great strength.

Just like the heroes whose life has already been written by Krosso, Laxis, and Atropos (the Three Goddesses of Fate), do they achieve the destiny of heroes because of their own strength, or do they have extraordinary power because of their destiny to become heroes?

I'm afraid no one can answer this question except the three sisters. However, at least if you look at the Hakurei shrine maiden, the latter is correct here.

So in the face of the sword of Youmeng, Hakuri Reimu is fearless. Obviously, as long as she was hit, she would be cut in half in half, but she never thought about the possibility of her defeat.

She is not convinced of her victory, nor is she confident in her own strength. She simply believed in her fate. When her fate is not finished, she will never come to an end in this land.

The gale from the slash had already made Reimu's cheeks ache, and at such a moment, she finally took action to defend herself against Youmeng's sword with all her might.

What she did was extremely simple, she simply placed the imperial coin across her chest, and the stiff movement would probably attract the ridicule of any swordsman, but this action was done for a short time in a hundredth of a second, and anyone who saw it would become speechless. Because this scene alone can tell that no matter how bad the level of Hakurei Shrine Maiden is as a swordsman, her benchmark as a strong person is something of another dimension entirely.

…… However, even so, is it too fanciful to think that a sword that can be cut off even steel with a single stick?

Under the surging of the witch's spiritual power, this wooden stick, which has become a little mysterious because of the long-term sacrifice, has surpassed the original limit, and the most intuitive result is.

The swords and wooden sticks that collided violently made a screeching sound that shouldn't have been, and the imperial coin, which was supposed to be divided into two parts, still retained its prototype, completely blocking the blade that was about to be cut in the air.

Now is the time of the classic sword duel in countless works, the stalemate of the sword.

Attacking and retreating is likely to result in additional hits, so the side that pushes back the enemy in a wrestle has a slight priority to attack.

However, the Soul Demon Dream did not continue to exert its power on the Louguan Sword to compete for that little initiative.

The wind from the collision made it impossible to open her eyes, but it was this moment that Youmeng was waiting for, the moment that was enough to win her victory. Therefore, her eyes did not wilt in the slightest due to the gale, but stared at the shrine maiden with all their attention.

The hands that were originally holding the Lou Guan Sword were now holding the right hand alone. Almost at the moment when the blade collided with the imperial coin, Youmeng's left hand had already crossed his right shoulder and grabbed the Bailou Sword, which was smaller than the Louguan Sword.

Lou Guan Sword's fierce attack with all his strength was just a disguise, and the key to the real victory or defeat was the Bai Lou Sword that had been pinned to the waist of the half-spirit swordsman.

――――Dazzling white light burst from the scabbard on Youmeng's waist.

The demon dream, who was already ready to attack, did not intend to give the witch any chance to react, and the white mansion sword in his left hand took Reimu's slender neck with a speed that was not inferior to the speed of the slash.

Of course, Youmeng didn't intend to turn this incident into bloodshed, if it was a normal blade, this sword would directly cut off the head of Hakuri Reimu, but she used the back of the knife. Hitting the neck will only knock the shrine maiden into a state of exhaustion and shock, and there will be no danger to her life.

The half-spirit swordsman was quite thoughtful.

And Hakuri Reimu didn't seem to react to this long-planned raid, and looked at Youmeng blankly, without any movement.

…… Wrong.

Is it really not reacting?

Looking at the sigh that flashed in the deep eyes of the shrine maiden, Yume's heart couldn't help but beat half a beat slower because of a bad premonition.

"W--?!"

When the surprised whisper blurted out, Youmeng suddenly found that the Bailou Sword in his left hand had long since disappeared, and with it, there was a pain in his wrist.

"Good strategy--but, it doesn't make much sense."

Looking at the stunned Youmeng, Reimu spat out words similar to sighs.

Youmu's strategy is meaningless to Hakurei Reimu.

The White Mansion Sword that is now being inserted in the soil is the best proof of this.

In fact, Youmeng fell into a misunderstanding, and Hakuri Reimu's physical skills were extremely superior. She was indeed able to use the White Mansion Sword to make a surprise attack, but Reimu would not show any panic even if her hands were tied.

…… Because she still has feet.

The kick that seemed to cross the spatial distance in an instant directly hit Youmeng's wrist, allowing the free-handed Bailou Sword to plunge into the soil behind Youmeng.

"Well, then, it's almost over."

The declaration of the end came so suddenly. However, the lack of undulation in the witch's tone also shows that she has unquestionable control over what will happen next.

Sensing that defeat was coming, the demon dream immediately wanted to retreat, pull away and regroup. However, this kind of behavior will not be allowed by Hakurei Reimu.

Reimu didn't retract his right foot from the volley, but immediately struck a leg sweep at the half-spirit girl's temple when he saw that Demon Dream was about to pull away.

This heavy blow alone made Youmeng's eyes blacken.

After all, she's not a monster with a strong physique, and if a vital point like the temple is hit hard, it will also be severely affected. It hasn't fallen yet, and it can already be attributed to the tenacity of the will of the soul demon dream.

However, in front of Hakurei Reimu, this will has no meaning.

She quickly retracted her right leg, and with the force of retraction, she quickly kicked her right leg to the ground, and used her left leg to deliver a heavy high kick to Yume's jaw.

Like a character in a fighting game who has been defeated by a single blow, the petite body of the half-spirit girl first rises from the force of her jaw, and finally falls to the ground covered with cherry blossoms due to the restraint of gravity.

The head was kicked continuously by the Hakurei witch, and even a ghost couldn't wait to ignore it, let alone a soul demon dream, and now she finally couldn't stand up.

As the sky swirled and she was dizzy, the half-spirit girl's consciousness was temporarily engulfed by the boundless darkness.

"Hmm...... Get a good night's sleep."

Looking at the girl in the faint, Reimu nodded unconsciously, and said so.

As long as you get some sleep, everything will be back to normal...... The same is true of this mutation.

Reimu sincerely envied the girl who had done her duty, but her mission was not yet complete - to be honest, she had no expectations that Marisa would be able to defeat Yuyuko from Seighiroji Temple.
