Chapter 38 - Thunder's Breath, One's Shape, Thunderbolt!
Night is the realm of ghosts.
The evil spirits that hide in the mountains and forests during the day come out of their hiding places when night comes, and wander the mountains, looking for blood food that can fill their stomachs.
Ghosts eat humans.
But it's not that they can only eat humans, basically as long as it's food, ghosts can eat it, it's just that, for ghosts, the human body has an irresistible attraction to them, not to mention that eating people can also make them stronger, so they will also look for humans who can eat.
However, these ghosts who are locked up in Fuji Raid Mountain basically rarely have the opportunity to see humans.
The final selection of the Ghost Slayer Team for the candidate swordsman is basically held every six months, in other words, about 20 people come to Fuji Raid Mountain every six months.
This caused the ghosts who had been hungry for half a year to become extremely crazy when they saw these alternate swordsmen entering the mountain.
They don't need the swordsmen to look for them, they themselves will take the initiative to run out of the shadows and try to eat these swordsmen.
Fuji Attack Mountain.
Half of the day passed quickly, the sun descended below the western mountain, the sunlight disappeared from the earth, and the night gradually fell.
"Now, Ryuxia-chan, let's find a place to hide......"
My wife, Shanyi, followed behind Ryuxia, and while looking around with a wince, for fear that a ghost would rush out and eat him, she proposed to Ryuxia in a trembling tone.
"If you want to hide, you can hide by yourself."
Ryusha replied indifferently, "Maybe you plan to make survival your first priority, but I still have what I plan to do, don't dictate what I do." β
Ryuxia is not a person who does not know how to be polite, if necessary, or in the face of a strong person who is much stronger than him, his tone must be quite polite.
But that's just because he didn't intend to get into trouble, or to avoid putting his life at risk.
When it is not necessary, Ryuxia has always been polite to others.
Especially if you are planning to make a profit, but the other party's request conflicts with your own purpose.
It can be said that he bullies the weak and fears the hard, or it can be said that he is unkind, but he has never had the concept of humiliation in his heart, and naturally he will never care about what others say.
Whether others ridicule or praise him or not has nothing to do with him.
In this world, most people only live in their own world.
Shanyi wanted to hide, but he was more afraid of being found by a ghost when he was hiding, so it would be better to be safe with Liuxia, at least he had witnessed Liuxia's strength with his own eyes, and knew that he was much stronger than ordinary ghosts.
According to the official statement of the Ghost Killing Team, all the ghosts imprisoned on Fuji Raid Mountain are only weak ghosts who have eaten about two or three people, not even alien ghosts, and the strength of Ryuxia is completely enough to come and go here.
In order to save his life, Shanyi quickly closed his mouth and silently followed behind Ryuxia.
"Give me your Nihon Blade, and you will have my sword."
"Oh."
Shanyi obediently handed over his Rilun knife, and then took the two knives on Ryuxia's waist.
Ryusha took the Hinawa knife and continued to search for traces of ghosts in the mountains and forests.
The reason why he handed Shanyi those two knives was just to stabilize him and prevent him from thinking 'Will Ryuxia leave me alone and run away after getting my knife'.
His two knives are made of modern technology, forged from titanium alloy, and although they do not contain the power of the sun that can slay evil spirits, they are probably much stronger than the Nihon Wheel Sword in terms of hardness.
"Human! It's human! I smell the scent of humans! Hahahaha......! This is my prey! β
Fuji Raid Mountain is worthy of being a place where ghosts are imprisoned and used to do an assessment for the candidate swordsmen, although there are not many ghosts here, but there are definitely a lot of them.
In the swagger of Lu Xia and Shanyi, there was no cover-up, just in the case of the chaos in the mountains and forests, soon a ghost ran out of the hole from the hiding tree and sniffed the smell, and pounced on Lu Xia and Shanyi with green eyes.
"Hoo ββββ"
He didn't even need to turn on his future vision, and Ryusha inhaled sharply in an instant, causing a large amount of oxygen to rush into the bloodstream, making the whole body feel 'frightened' in an instant, and the muscles in his body suddenly tensed.
Ryuxia gathered all the power gained from breathing on his right foot, and after the strength was accumulated, his right foot slammed on the ground-
"Boom!"
There was an inaudible sound of thunder in the air, but it was keenly captured by Shanyi, who had extremely strong hearing.
"Qiangβ"
A lightning-like sword light flashed in midair.
The evil ghost that swooped down on the two of them had separated at some point, and in just two or three seconds, they turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.
Ryusha breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Immediately, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt an extremely obvious pain on his body, especially in the position of his right foot.
"Ryu... Ryuxia-chan, you... You just used ......"
Shanyi's eyes widened, as if he saw something from Lu Xia's knife just now, he raised a finger and pointed at Lu Xia in a daze, feeling that his whole body was trembling.
"The breathing technique and sword technique you taught me last night, what?"
Ryusha came back to her senses and cast a nonchalant glance at Shanyi.
"You... Did you just practice for a while last night and... Just learned? β
Shanyi's eyes froze, as if he had seen the face of an evil ghost, showing a frightened expression.
"How so?"
Ryuxia returned the Nihon Wheel Knife in his hand to the sheath, and replied indifferently, "I practiced all night last night, and I barely learned it without sleeping at all. β
Shanyi was silent.
Is there much difference between the two?
It took less than an hour, and it took one night to learn the [Thunder Breath] and the accompanying sword skills, which was no different at all from someone like him who had spent two years learning it by accident.
It turns out that there really is such a monster-level genius in this world.
Ignoring Shanyi's thoughts, Ryusha moved the ankle of his right foot in an attempt to banish the slightest pain from his body.
After all, it's only been one night, and [Thunder Breath] can only be said to be barely getting started, although trying to gather all the strength on the right foot, but the control is still not delicate enough, and there is still a little bit of strength that is not well controlled, and it hurts the ankle.
But it's not a big problem, this kind of small injury can be recovered after a little rest.
The physical ability of the [Servant] can never be viewed from the perspective of a normal person, and the heroic spirits who can continue to move even if their hearts are pierced are not lacking at all in the seat of the heroic spirits, and of course there are many of them like this.
The problem is the sword skill just now.
He is not very skilled.
It is the first of the six sword skills of Thunder's Breath, which is a sword technique that infuses power into one foot, and then explodes in one breath, like thunder that tears through the air, and after approaching the opponent at high speed, it performs a rapid assault at a speed that even the ghost can't see.
The characteristic is that the speed is very fast, so fast that even the eyes of the ghost can't see clearly, and it has already slashed over.
"My wife Shanyi, in this sword just now, I felt a little leaked my strength and hurt my ankle, what's going on?"
With a tool man by her side, there is no reason why Ryuxia should not take advantage of it.
Thinking so, he asked all the questions about breathing and sword skills in his heart.
Shanyi came back to his senses from his thoughts and obediently answered Ryuxia again.
