The battle to fight Jingming has reached the most critical juncture.

It's the same with his life.

If his special move can't kill this enemy in one go, then his downfall is predictable.

After all, the other party has agility that he is far from being able to, although Jing Ming's speed is also extraordinary, but in front of the other party, he is obviously inferior by more than a notch.

You can only bet on the outcome in a moment full of unknowns. And what about the stakes...... It's his life.

It's a reciprocal gamble.

However...... What are the chances of victory?

The two looked directly at each other, their interlaced gazes calm. But this calmness is like a poisonous snake aimed at its prey, and it is not to be taken lightly.

Demon knives and twin swords that are on the verge of exploding.

The cold, clear and tense air was pierced by the girl's delicate voice.

"The Woman! Get out of Jingming's side quickly!"

――――What are you talking about?

Ping Qingle was stunned for a moment, and Jing Ming instantly changed color, and the familiar timbre really had no possibility of admitting mistakes.

The two of them froze at the same time due to the sudden insertion of the sound, and then looked at the source of the sound in unison.

I saw a silver-white star streak across the sky, heading straight for the two of them.

Like a star falling from the sky to the earth, something with a silver glow was falling rapidly in the direction of the two of them.

But Ping Qingle knew that it would never be a dead thing like a star. The silvery-white light was the light emitted by some kind of spiritual energy.

Swirling with a turbulent current of air, it landed on the ground violently, just between the two people facing each other.

Putting away the dazzling glow, the Silver Star revealed its true form, revealing the figure of a girl about the size of Peace and Happiness. Standing majestically in front of Jing Ming, opposite the Ping clan.

The dark blue hair and emerald green eyes that are tied into a bunch, the girl with an overwhelming presence compared to Jing Ming, is his sister, the leader of today's dogs, the Heavenly Demon, Minato Douguang.

Of course, although the bearing is extraordinary. However, it is still impossible for Ping Qingle to know the girl who suddenly interrupted the battle between the two, but at least one thing can be certain. That is, the other party is undoubtedly her enemy as well.

"My name is Minato Mitoko, the leader of the Tengu, and the younger sister of Minato Keimei."

As if to see Ping's doubts, she introduced herself in a stern tone.

At first glance, it doesn't sound like there's any problem, and the fact that she's the leader of the clan is well conveyed to the Ping clan.

However...... Why do you want to emphasize the fact that it is the sister of Minato Jingming? And listening to her proud tone, I wonder if I think that being someone's sister is something more glorious than the head of the clan.

Even though Ping Qingle couldn't understand where that strange pride came from, it didn't prevent her from looking at the enemy who had suddenly appeared in the center of the battle with curiosity......

"I'm not interested in knowing your name, but now that you've got your name. Then I'll respond as a courtesy."

As she spoke, Ping showed her usual light smile, but there was no smile in her eyes. The eyes that are transparent and as sharp as a sword can only be read by soldiers who have been born and died.

"The person who took your life is the son of the Heikyo Sutra, Ping Qingle. …… How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"Hmph, there must be a limit to the life of taking light, and arrogance."

For this provocative speech, of course, the Heavenly Demon could not be happy. Snorted coldly, and expressed his resentment with a surprising attitude.

It was like an innocent child.

"You're the one who dies...... Because you dare to hurt Hikari's brother! That's it! You're going to die!"

The girl roared and pronounced the death sentence on Ping Qingle, as if she had done something unforgivable--maybe it was true for Hikari.

It may be a matter of course for Minato Douguang, but for Ping Qingle, this is an incomprehensible state of affairs.

「…………」

「…………」

For a moment, there was silence.

Not only did Ping Qingle fall silent because of the fierce reaction of the Heavenly Demon, but even Dou Jingming lowered his head as if he felt embarrassed for some reason.

But Hikari didn't notice the change in the two at all, and was still loudly announcing his claim.

"Only light can hit Jingming! You guy who suddenly appeared actually hurt Jing Ming -- the light is absolutely not allowed! This is the death penalty! Death penalty!"

"Hoo ......"

Ping Qingle sighed with a wry smile. Although he still didn't say a word, it was completely different from the silence just now.

Isn't this just simple brother control?

Ping Qingle, who learned about this, cast his eyes with a strange smile on Minato Jingming, who had been fighting with her just now.

「…………」

Feeling Ping Qingle's inexplicable gaze, and listening to his sister's unstoppable chatter, Jing Ming's already not very good face became even more gloomy.

Not again...... This sight.

Honestly, I really want to find a hole to drill into. It's not the first time that Minato Jingming has received this kind of baptism of sight.

I have felt it from Nachiwuliu, Ibuki Suika, Xingxiong Yuyi, and even the acquaintances around him. And every time there is no accident I want him to find a hole in the ground to get into.

That sense of shame, as well as that kind of gaze that doubted his personality and dignity, every time was no less than a violent torture of Jing Ming's soul. It also made him sigh more than once.

Why, why did he suffer this torture?

To say why...... Because of love, of course.

But the current Doudou Jingming can't comprehend it. Whether this sluggishness is fortunate or unfortunate has not yet been revealed.

However, compared to usual, at least the current Jingming is still lucky. Because he had a good reason to interrupt his sister.

"Light."

While calling for his sister, he lifted Muramasa and swung it down as if he was about to cut something invisible.

Although it was just a simple air swing, the fighting energy exuded from his body was not only not half weakened compared to the battle with Ping Qingle, but also became more solemn.

"Don't forget where we are."

The fighting spirit finally awakened the heavenly demon who was immersed in a strange state, and the instinct as a martial artist was awakened by the surging fighting energy.

「…… You're right. It's that the light is too much Meng Lang, and he actually forgot where to stick out. But Jingming, you are a man, you are really, you actually watched the girl make a fool of yourself and were indifferent, it is too incomprehensible."

A high-spirited smile full of majesty appeared on the face of the Heavenly Demon, and her whole person was filled with a sense of majesty that should not be underestimated.

This also made her coquettish words behind her full of extraordinary compulsion.

"I don't think it's a good place to be a stylish place."

Regarding his sister's reprimand, Jing Ming can only give such an explanation. Of course, this is a strong argument.

So the Heavenly Demon easily accepted it.

"That's right............ So, are you ready to face your final battle? It's called Ping Qingle."
