"Eh, you still haven't changed, Nangong."

On the other hand, Ye Ya seemed to be unhappy with her attitude, and her words were contemptuous.

"I can't understand the joy of fighting."

"Hmph, of course you don't understand, but Ye Chun may understand."

"What, are you fooling my sister!"

As soon as she heard her sister Ye Chun, Ye Ya was angry and angry.

A roar of rage accompanied by a fierce breath.

"Oh, it turns out that you respect Ye Chun so much."

As if amused by Ye Ye's reaction, Nangong continued to smile gloomily.

Nangong's words were completely opposite to the babbling tone, as if he was provoking.

"Giggles, you can't even kowtow to us and thank you too much. You can now swagger as the patriarch of the Deer Clan and worship the death of Lord Ye Chun. You were originally the second daughter of the family...... It's just a spare tire. It's obviously a shadow that doesn't even have the qualifications to perform the ceremony...... Isn't it? ”

"Shut up!"

Ye Ya pounced on Nangong again.

The sword that was raised high in the air swung down violently.

Nangong gently parried head-on with his wheels.

While the two strange-looking weapons clashed, Ye Ya vented his anger with words.

"You are the ones who set fire to the village, terrified the deer clan, and forced me, who is a spare tire, to claim to be the next patriarch! You are not allowed to take away your sister...... The murderer of my family's life, Tian shamelessly speaks nonsense! ”

Perhaps remembering the death of her parents, Ye Ya's cry contained a sad color.

"Boom...... Phew. ”

But Nangong showed a mocking expression to Ye Ya like that.

"You're so naïve, and you're so funny."

Yuko, whose face was illuminated by the sparks from the spinning blade, pretended to mutter, "No wonder Li Qi can't stand you."

"Bastard......!"

"Hmph, are you worried about your good friend falling into the hands of the enemy? Rest assured, she's fine."

Nangong rolled his eyes and looked at Ye Ya.

"It's just...... I have a pretty good relationship with Li Qi. And I have taken care of her in the past."

"Take care? What do you mean......

"It means that Li Qi will choose you or me, this good show is wonderful."

As if to interrupt the question, Nangong took action.

She sank down, staggering away from the threat. After kicking Ye Ya in the abdomen with a forward kick again, he jumped back and kept Ye Ya's distance.

"You don't know anything, and you don't understand anything."

The smile on Nangong's face was gone.

It just sharpened the curse-like gaze - staring at Ye Ya.

"The second daughter of the family who was born with a golden spoon. In other words, if you are separating the family, you will never be allowed to have a second child. You grew up uninhibited and without any responsibility, and you don't understand anything."

The corners of Nangong's distorted mouth were not because of a smile.

"You don't know anything. The inside story of the deer clan is too. So is the darkness that lurks in the clan. Even what happened that night."

「…… Bastard."

Despite glaring at Nangong angrily, Ye Ya still couldn't hide his surprised expression.

"Darkness, you say? Again...... What did that night mean?"

Nangong's lips resembled a sarcastic smile.

It was as if an inferiority complex had been transformed into a sense of superiority—

"I'm not going to tell you."

「…… You guy."

Hearing that answer, Ye Ya's voice was full of anxiety for a moment.

But in a blink of an eye, as if he had regained his composure, Ye Ya squinted at Nangong.

"Do you want to lure me to waver with ambiguous gossip? Can't you win without resorting to such tricks?"

"Giggles, your majestic attitude......

However, Nangong still looked calm and relaxed.

「…… It felt disgusting. I was about to throw up. I can't stand it at all......"

But contrary to that attitude, the words are full of malice.

"So...... I'm going to do my best...... to negate that object."

There was always some shaky and unsteady before, as if there was no dramatic change in the force-like movements.

Nangong rushed forward with a god-speed movement.

Lifting the wheel sideways above her head, her body lowering her center of gravity, as if trying to pierce her from the bottom of the plate—

Use the spikes in the outer ring of the wheel to stab at Yeya.

「……！」

Although Ye Ya immediately tried to parry with the treasure knife, he couldn't touch Nangong who was almost so low that he was about to lie on the ground, it stands to reason that twisting and dodging is the best policy, but the change in Nangong's movements came to his surprise, causing Ye Ya to make an error in judgment.

One of the spikes pierced through the top of the kimono belt and stabbed deep into Haya's abdomen.

"Woo......!"

In the case of a stab in the abdomen, Ye Ya's whole person was pushed backwards and slammed against the wall. Ye Ya pointed the chainsaw down and aimed at Nangong.

Nangong jumped backwards to dodge, and the spikes of the wheels were pulled out.

Ye Ya covered her abdomen with her hands, and the injury was healed, and the bleeding stopped.

"Hmph, it looks like you hid a hand in the competition before."

Although Ye Ya always had a smile on his face, his face was iron-blue.

The torture wheel in Nangong's hand contrasted with her face - the spikes that had stabbed Ye Ya had turned bright red all around.

"Giggles, thank you for your generous blood donation."

Nangong said half-jokingly, with a grim smile on his face.

"You should know our treasures, too. This is a very beautiful vampire wheel that draws the blood of the stabbed person and sucks it...... I advise you not to be too aggressive. At this level of blood, your blood loss must be close to 500 milliliters."

More than 500 ml of blood is lost in an instant. In the case of human beings, it is not surprising that even if there is a state of shock death.

The reason why Ye Ya is still alive and conscious depends on the vitality of the deer clan.

It's just that the deer clan of course does not mean that they can still exert their usual strength after a large amount of blood loss.

"Hmph, it's fine."

Although Ye Ya tried his best to stay calm, his feet still trembled slightly against his will.

"You're really cunning, Nangong."

But Ye Ya still smiled strongly.

"Make up some inconsequential jokes, and when I see that I'm not fooled, I change my tactics and come up with a surprise raid, right...... It seems that you are quite afraid of the power of the sword."

"You're provoking me? It's useless. It's all in vain. I'm a secret servant, and I've long been accustomed to that. I was raised in that environment...... It is not the same as you, who regard righteousness as a virtue."

"yes, that's a pity."

Facing Nangong who spoke out to fight back, Ye Ya lowered his eyes as if he was disheartened, and then ......

Rumble.

Without warning, Ye Ya smashed the treasure knife out without thinking.

「……！」

Even the arrogant Nangong couldn't help but scream. His eyes widened in astonishment.

The spinning runaway chainsaw flew straight towards her.

Nangong jumped sideways in a panic to dodge. Only then did it flash away-

"Ah...... Bad ......"

Nangong found that Ye Ya's figure had disappeared from the place.

It turned out that while Nangong's attention was attracted by the chainsaw and the flaws were exposed, Ye Ya lowered her body and ran to her feet.

As if an eye for an eye, he crashed towards Nangong's swoop.

Use your own body as a weapon to attack your opponent's vital points.

Not only that, but he also stretched out his hand vigorously to grab the handle of the chainsaw that was about to land.

"Nangong ...... Enlightenment!"

Nangong, whose body is out of balance, and Ye Ya, who is chasing after the victory.

The sword flashed, and the defense of the wheels was bounced away by the sword.

Moreover, that trajectory successfully caused the blade to graze Nangong's right arm-

Just below the elbow.

Just a light rub opened a deep wound with a serious wound.

Yaya did not continue the pursuit.

Makes the wound worse and proliferated, and specializes in the treasure knife of the deer clan.

What may seem like an inconspicuous abrasion at first glance can grow and spread if left aside for a while, and can erode the whole body in the blink of an eye.

Although the healing ability of the deer clan is excellent, it is definitely not comparable to that erosion speed.

In short, this blow was equivalent to inflicting a fatal wound on Nangong.

Ye Ya, who pulled away, turned off the chainsaw engine.

In the silence that re-descended after a few minutes of absence, Ye Ya spoke calmly, "You lost, Nangong."

"Hee, hee. I see...... That's ......."

Nangong stared at the wound on his arm. The gloomy smile that had been dark changed from the past, and an expression appeared on his face that seemed to be spasmodic or happy at the cruel image.

"It's beautiful and ugly, it's really beautiful. Oh my God, it's terrible, it's so painful, how can it be so refreshing."

Just when Nangong was intoxicated, the area of the wound became more and more wide.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. But...... At least you can't do what you want."

「…… Really?"

Ye Ya reached behind his back and took out the dagger.

Nangong's arm fell off, it was only a matter of time. Ya waited for that moment to come.

「…… Giggle."

But......

"I'll just say it...... You're naïve. It's so naïve that I can't help but want to throw up."

Nangong's seemingly happy attitude of watching the wound gradually erode made Ye Ya frown.

"Nangong, you ......"

It's crazy.

However, before Ye Ya could finish speaking, he was interrupted by astonishment.

Nangong raised the wheel in his hand and approached the top of the wound.

"What......

Red droplets of water began to drip from the wheels.

fell on Nangong's wound, and then—

"It hurts......

Just as echoing Nangong's whispered cry of pain, the wound created by the sword slowly stopped growing.

"You are the daughter of your own family, but you know nothing...... Just because you are the second daughter, you are all kept in the dark."

Although Nangong's whole face was wrinkled due to the severe pain, he still didn't forget to sneer.

"Whether it's the inside story of the deer clan, or it's about treasures. The reason why I put the wheels on ...... That's the reason for taking it out to fight you. You wouldn't think this was just a bloodsucking prop, would you? Giggle...... It can still spit out the blood it sucks in...... In other words, it is the only treasure that has the ability to block the Treasure Knife. I don't even have this kind of common sense and dare to call myself the leader, I'm really stupid and naïve."

"Ridiculous, what's there to be complacent about."

But Yaya was not shaken in any way.

"Just because growth stops doesn't mean there's a way to heal the wound. That wound is just like a human being...... It can't be closed without waiting for a while. But just let one wound stop getting worse, and you're in a bad situation."

"What you say, I will give you back as it is. Cluck...... No matter how powerful the Langlu clan is, the blood sucked by the wheels can't be made right away. Leave aside the question of whether you'll die or not, the best thing is to be sucked by it a few more times before you lose consciousness?"

The two faced off as they had at the beginning of the war.

However, there is no longer a question of whether the weapons of the two sides are good or bad.

Therefore, the next thing that will be contested is the martial arts and strength that have been cultivated in the past.

Ya put his hand on the starter of the engine again.

Nangong lifted the wheel and sank down.

It was at this time......

- Whoa, whoa!

From afar, there was a scream that sounded like death.

Ye Ya and Nangong shook their shoulders.

“…… Salsa, fragrant? Nangong muttered.

"......?"

Ye Ya shot his gaze into the distance.

However, the fight is also hot here, and it is not a situation that can be distracted.

Among the two, the one who couldn't rest assured about the battle situation on the other side of the corridor was Ye Ya.

"Let's make a truce for a while, Nangong."

"Giggles. What are you talking about? Leave that boring thing ...... mind."

"It's not boring, at least for me."

Ye Ya slowly, but surely, distanced himself from Nangong.

"You want to escape? We're just about to enter the exciting stage. ”

"I'm not trying to escape. Just wish for a different location. ”

After speaking, Ye Ya turned around and ran away from Nangong.

"Tsk......tsk!"

Nangong smacked his tongue.

Ya had run out of her attack range, and she couldn't find a flaw behind her.

Nangong had to chase Ye Ya with a helpless sigh.

The two of them galloped away in the same direction.

……

Xia Jing didn't look back, and rushed to the finish line in one go.

After opening the door of the destination and pushing Lan Yang in, he reached behind his back and closed the door tightly.

Probably there is a soundproof design, so you can't hear the noise outside at all around the door.

Ye Yahe's voice and the breath of the dead could not be felt in the room.

This made Xia Jing feel a very heavy sense of guilt.

The anxiety of worrying about whether he had been discovered by the twins of Xiangxiang and Sasha, and the incomparable regret of leaving her to run away alone, mixed together, made Xia Jing's chest ache faintly.

Xia Jing, who inadvertently clenched his fists, wanted to clench the wall to vent his anger, but dispelled the idea on the way.

The sound of struggling to squeeze out of his throat was like coughing up blood.

The sense of loss when my sister disappears.

He didn't have time to catch up with the regret that led to Fang Yuan's death.

Xia Jing has always been reluctant to repeat the mistakes of the past.

I don't want to. I can't take it. I couldn't bear the disappearance of someone I knew anymore.

So I wish I could save her. I don't want to die without help.

I just want to be able to do my best as far as I can see.

I can't even do anything to that extent. Things do not turn out the way you want.

Ah Ye said, don't misestimate the size of your palm. If you don't try to save even those who are beyond your control, the end will only be a tragedy.

I get it. Now I have a very deep understanding.

But—but.

Even if you recognize how many taels you have, what should you do with the people and things outside your palm?

Don't you save yourself when you die? Give up?

Or is it okay to follow Ah Ye's example and put it aside with an attitude of not caring about himself, and convince himself that out of sight is pure?
