In Na Zhiwuliu's perception, the opponent who was fighting with him in front of him was simply not a woman with warm blood and flesh, but a heavenly peak that could not be crossed.

Maybe he was too cowardly, but the enemy in front of Zhiwuliu was indeed incomparable. If it weren't for the fact that she could see the Duanli plain face full of infinite calm, Na Zhi might have been greatly impressed by her momentum that was reminiscent of mountains and rivers.

But because his eyes could see the enemy's face, he remained unmoved. Because he knew that his enemies could not only be defeated, but also surpassed.

…… Having said that, he has not been able to reverse the disadvantage on the scene until now.

"You guy...... Is it made of steel?!"

The roaring sword-wielding Great Youkai poured extraordinary power into the sword.

The sword of pure killing intent, the shot is to kill. The sword light that turned into a wave of silver blades vows to cut the enemy in half from the chest and abdomen.

Nachi felt that his voice could sound a little more powerful, but he also knew that no matter how beautiful and practical his roar was, it didn't mean much.

-- As he did now, his attacks were once again useless in front of his opponents.

The samurai, who wielded a dignified and simple sword, seemed to have been prepared to flash the demon cut in front of Nachi's eternal sword, as if mocking Nachi's powerlessness.

"Steel ......"

Repeating the enemy's words as if chewing, Genkira showed an inexplicable expression.

"Thou art a terrible parable."

With a rebuke that didn't contain anger, she flicked the blade away with all her might.

Her voice was very smooth compared to Nachi's, and she didn't feel the excitement of being on the battlefield at all. However, this ease of composure illustrates the gap between her and Na Zhiwuliu.

Although it is not a world of difference, it is also a gap that can never be ignored.

"That lord always said I was more like a lapis lazuli ......"

As she spoke, a trace of dissatisfaction finally appeared on Gen Kira's calm face, which was also the first change in her inner emotions that she had revealed since the official battle.

Na Zhiwuliu, who was jumped back a few steps along the sword momentum, stood up as fast as he could, and said in a voice full of surprise.

"Lapis lazuli?! I guess the one you spoke of was wrong."

Although he had no idea who the enemy was talking about, it didn't stop Nachi from expressing his opinion.

The so-called lapis lazuli is an ore buried in the earth, and there are many other names such as green daisy and bi glaze. The finest lapis lazuli has a pure, magnificent blue color that is like an ore that reflects the color of the sky.

However, contrary to its noble appearance, this ore does not possess the hardness of stone...... The fragile structure of lapis lazuli itself makes it easy to fall apart.

If a person is compared to lapis lazuli, then wisdom will think that person is a person who is strong on the outside but vulnerable on the inside.

But look at this woman in front of you...... It's diamond at all, okay!

Even in the extreme situation of unfavorable battle conditions, he can think of something that is not in tune, which is also the characteristic of Nazhi Wuliu. Regardless of whether this trait is reliable or not, it makes Nachi smile fearlessly in any predicament.

Of course, no matter how fearless he is in the current situation, it will not help.

Rolling around to avoid a sword that would surely kill him, Nachi regained his stance.

Kumano Mountain's Excalibur Tengu probably never imagined that he would have to fight with all his might even to hit the enemy with a sword. His talent as a swordsman is in no way inferior to anyone's...... If there is anyone in this world who is the beloved son of the sword given by God, it is undoubtedly him.

As a pure swordsman, there is no one else who can compare to him. However, Genkira was not a swordsman who only followed the way of the sword, but also a samurai.

Although it may seem to others that the Tengu who is constantly attacking intensively has the advantage, Nachi knows that this is not the case.

The opponent's swordsmanship did not exceed Nachi's imagination...... It should be said that compared with Nazhi Wuliu, Genqiluo's swordsmanship does not have any superiority.

In Nachi's opinion, he should be praised, but he will never send an amazing swordsmanship...... But there are two techniques in it that make him secretly bitter in his heart.

A defensive technique that takes down all of his sword power as if turning all his power into a bottomless abyss, and an offensive skill that uses hundreds of different attributes with each sword swing.

Although the enemy's swordsmanship did not exceed the limit of Nachiwuliu's response, the sword that incorporated these two skills made him miserable.

And then there's ...... The strength of the enemy is also far beyond his imagination.

In the face of a more powerful enemy, Nachi is not unprepared.

It should be said that he often fought against enemies stronger than himself...... The star bear Yongyi, who is stronger than him in terms of hard wrist strength, surpasses his Jinra in terms of demonic power and kundalini.

However, the enemies in front of him were all superior to him in terms of physical strength and spiritual energy.

Fighting is never easy. This kind of thing has long been remembered by Zhiwuliu. However, because of this, when he overcame the obstacle and defeated the enemy, his joy only increased.

「…… Hmm!"

A heavy moan came out of Nachi's throat.

It turned out that in the moment just now, Nachi, who was tired of attacking and defending, finally showed a flaw, and was slashed in the shoulder by the enemy's sword. The thin armor couldn't defend against the enemy's blades, and a single blow nearly sliced the entire upper half of Nachi's body.

But after all, the enemy is facing Nazhi Wuliu, a highly talented swordsman. While being injured, he also forgot about the pain and fear in an instant, and swung his sword to repel Genkira's ghost cut.

"------Awesome."

"------Awesome."

The two who looked at each other invariably gave each other praise.

The unscathed samurai and the wounded and bleeding swordsman seem to be superior at first glance. However, the so-called victory or defeat cannot be judged simply by the superior.

"Although I didn't have any underestimation of women for a long time...... But you've made me more and more convinced."

Even if he was injured, his face did not show the slightest dignified Na Zhiwu Liu talked eloquently. It seems that the pain of the wound has been completely forgotten, and perhaps in his opinion, at the moment there is nothing more important than defeating the enemy in front of him.

"Your strength is stronger than mine, and it's not even a star and a half. And swordsmanship aside, there's nothing I can do about the two skills you incorporate into your sword moves. It stands to reason that I should throw in the towel."

「…… Given that you are aggressors, even if you surrender, you may not be guaranteed preferential treatment. I'll make it clear here first."

Hearing the word "defeat", Kira responded with an expression without any smile.

「…… Hey, even if you want to kill the captives, you shouldn't just say it. Who will surrender in this way? You're too upright, aren't you?"

"No need to surrender."

Feeling the decisiveness in Kira's words, Nachi couldn't help but be stunned, but he immediately smiled.

"Oh...... Curious, but don't worry. I will not surrender - because I will be victorious!"

Is that a bluff, or is it a presumption? The swordsman, who always tended to be inferior in the battle, proudly released a declaration.

"Look, Warrior of Genji...... Your uprightness will be the cause of your defeat."

However, his enemies were unmoved, and Genqira just raised his eyebrows coldly and gave him a wordless answer.

To be honest, in the face of this stubborn enemy, Kira also admires him.

Not only were the two extinctions of [Return to Nothing] and [Return to One], but she didn't expect that she would still not be able to achieve a decisive advantage after taking out [Ghost Cut].

Onikiri is a special armor given to Genji by the King of the Moon. It is the ultimate blade used in the crusade against foreign enemies.

If the enemy is the People of the Moon, this sword is just a sharp blade. But if you're dealing with filthy creatures, Onikiri will grant the user infinite power.

Chaos, sinful karma, and the filth produced by earthly creatures in order to survive will stimulate the power of demons.

This sword was forged to eliminate impurity, representing the concepts of purity and order. The more you face the enemies of karma, the more psionic energy this sword gathers from the subspace to pass on to the user.

In other words, as the enemy grows, the power of the Oni Kiri can also be increased endlessly. The only thing to consider is the limit of what the holder can bear.

In fact, Kira was only using the sword's power for the first time. With each swing, she did feel a huge amount of spiritual energy burst out from the sword.

But this did not allow her to deliver a decisive blow to her enemies.

Is the ghost cut not strong enough?

No.

It was that Zhiwuliu who was very brave. He forcibly overcame the disparity in strength with swordsmanship alone, however......

Her superiority remains unshakable.

Kira looked at the Zhiwu Stream, as if trying to peek out for something.

But she was disappointed. In addition to the calmness that transcends life and death that is unique to warriors, there is only an almost cold self-confidence on the face of the enemy.

There is no pretense at all, and the enemy named Nazhiwuliu really thinks that he can win.

"Those crazy words of yours, wait until they hurt me!"

The aftermath was still lingering, but the samurai had already taken a direct step and swung a sword forward.

Slash diagonally from the right shoulder to the left.
