Chapter 57: The Disappearance of Kenji

The little white tiger appeared in front of Shangguan Ziyang again. Originally www.biquge.info, Shangguan Ziyang thought that after the little white tiger was "captured" by his own family, he should ...... Possible...... Probably...... Will you just leave yourself...... Although the little white tiger has been playing soy sauce all the time, and the sense of presence is very low, but I really haven't seen the little white tiger for a while, as if ...... Seems like there's something missing around you?

............................................................................................................

"That's all I have to say today...... "Gu Xin looked around, "you...... Do you have any questions?"

"Well...... As you say...... After all, we are small in number, but we have a lot of events, so ......" Blue questioned.

"Uh...... Don't you know...... Is there a 'Fountain of Life' in the Duke of the Wind's 'Aberia Bounty Mission' that we have completed?...... not to mention" Gu Xin explained as he turned his gaze to Alice, and the expression on his face instantly became extremely obscene, "That...... Dear Miss Alice, when you were out of the village...... The village elder seems to have given you a lot of fountain of life, right?"

"No! get out!" it seems that Alice is very unhappy with Gu Xin's look, "Yes, I won't give it to you!"

"Forehead ......" The expression on Gu Xin's face was a little stiff, as if his forehead was covered with black lines, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing for a while.

"Eh, is that the water that the village chief gave us to drink when we first came to the Elven Empire......? How much is the 'Fountain of Life' in the bounty?Is it enough?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Shangguan Ziyang changed the topic and asked.

"Well...... Actually, I don't think you need to reward the fountain of life......" Gu Xin touched his chin and seemed to be pondering, but why did his expression look so lewd.

"Huh...... What strange plot do you have?" asked Amiri curiously.

"No, no, no...... How could it be a conspiracy? I'm such a righteous and bright person...... I'm going to ask for some directly with the Duke of the Wind - of course, a deal is possible!" Gu Xin's expression was extremely lewd, and he had no idea what bad things he was thinking. "Oh yes, the conference should only be ten days old, right? Anyway, everyone has a good rest during this time, and then we can just take the champion and runner-up!" "Anyway, our schedule should also come out, so tomorrow the head of the regiment and I will go to the mercenary union to get it...... After all, we signed up as a mercenary group, so there will be a record in the mercenary union, of course this kind of thing needs to be done by us as the head of the group!" Gu Xin said with a righteous and righteous face, and added a sentence after finishing, "This is definitely not that I am jealous of Kenji, that guy, I want to date the head of the group, you said that, please don't ...... Want...... Mistake...... Will ......"

Everyone looked sympathetically at Gu Xin, the deputy head of the regiment who was kicked away by Shangguan Ziyang and slammed into the wall, in the shape of a "big" character, and shook his head (It's really hopeless. ）

"The meeting is dismissed!" After Shangguan Ziyang said this sentence viciously, he took the lead in slamming the door and going out, causing the elf maid who was cleaning in the courtyard to look confused - after all, the door was ...... Broken......

So the others also left one after another, and in the end, only Gu Xin and Werewolf Ike were left who had recovered their breath.

"Hey, brother, give me a hand......" Gu Xin said pretending to be dying.

Ike directly grabbed Gu Xin with his wolf claws and threw him on the bed.

"Hey, brother, please!" Gu Xin groaned on the bed as if he was seriously injured.

"Don't pretend, I can smell that you're not hurt at all. Ike said with a squint.

"Dognose, so smart!"

"! I'm obviously a wolf's nose!" Ike suddenly changed the subject, "yes...... That ......"

"What?" asked Gu Xin lazily.

"Can you really get the Fountain of Life? and...... Is it really okay to change the original plan like this?" asked Ike.

"It's okay, trust me!" Gu Xin said with such confidence, "I believe you only need that level!"

"Uh...... The battle of not being able to let go of your hands and feet does feel a little weird......" Werewolf Ike turned to leave while looking at the gate that had been violently damaged by Shangguan Ziyang, "No way...... Captain, you're really ...... Good luck!" Ike just shook his head and left.

"Hey, it really hurts...... Gu Xin's original lewd expression suddenly became very serious, "I hope everything goes well......"

............................................................................................................

Shangguan Ziyang left Gu Xin's room in a huff, and when he was heading to his room, he suddenly heard a voice from above.

"Lord Shangguan!"

"Eh, do you still know to come back? I thought you were left behind by someone else for destroying public property!" Shangguan Ziyang looked at the place where the voice came from, and sure enough, Kenji was sitting on a branch not far above him. At this time, Shangguan Ziyang also seemed to feel the breeze surging around his body, and gradually, Shangguan Ziyang saw some fluttering fluorescence around his body, which gradually gathered together, turning into a wings about the size of a kitten flapping like cicada wings, suspended in front of him, staring at him with a pair of small eyes, and then flew around him twice, and finally stopped in front of him. "...... Aberia?"

"That's not going to ......" Kenji jumped down from the tree and said to Shangguan Ziyang, "By the way, Lord Shangguan, did you meet me today? Why don't you know below?"

"You were fighting those guys, so powerful...... Anyway, how much strength did you and I hide in the battle at that time?" Shangguan Ziyang asked.

"There is no hidden strength...... "Kenji said calmly.

"Nonsense! How is it possible? I'm not blind, do you really treat me as a three-year-old child?" Shangguan Ziyang was obviously a little upset.

"It's true that there is no hidden strength in the bottom...... Because the ring battle is such a big place, it is not easy to release the 'sword intent' below......" Kenji still said calmly.

"Forget it, that's all...... Anyway, you didn't attend tonight's meeting, blocking my door to find me, why are you doing it?" Shangguan Ziyang asked.

I saw Kenji untie the purple sword from the six Japanese knives on his waist that were almost close to his height, and threw it at Shangguan Ziyang.

"Dream Spirit, what's the situation?" Shangguan Ziyang caught the Dream Spirit, wondering what Kenji wanted to do.

"Please come with me, Lord Shangguan. As soon as Kenji's words fell, he jumped directly onto a branch and disappeared into the sea of branches.

"Hey, you left directly, how can I 'come with you'? You and I can fly the eaves and walk the wall like you??" As soon as Shangguan Ziyang finished speaking, he noticed that the surrounding scenery seemed to be changing, "Walt, what happened?" Suddenly Aberia flew in front of Shangguan Ziyang, and then Shangguan Ziyang realized that he had "flew".

"Crooked, what are you doing??" Without waiting for Shangguan Ziyang to finish speaking, little Aberia waved his hand, and Shangguan Ziyang's whole person rushed directly into the "sea of branches".

"Are you trying to kill me??" Suddenly, Shangguan Ziyang felt a lightness in his body, and he appeared in an empty hall.

"What is this place......?" This is still the Duke of the Wind's Mansion, isn't it okay to trespass on other places without the master's consent?" Shangguan Ziyang said, looking around.

"This is the shooting range, a shooting range for the elves to practice shooting, and the place is big enough......" Kenji's tone was still very calm, and at this time, the elf Aberia, who emitted blue and cyan fluorescence, also sat on Kenji's right shoulder, "As far as I know, in this world, the only person who can use the 'Dream Spirit' is Shangguan-sama......"

"And then?" Shangguan Ziyang asked.

"Please...... Later, use the Dream's abilities to unleash a deadly attack on Zaixia...... Don't be merciful......" Kenji's tone was still so calm.

"Are you crazy, aren't you?that's going to die!" Shangguan Ziyang threw the dream spirit back, "What are you heading for? We are not enemies! Why do you want to do this??Did you go to that strange hotel today, and here is also infected by those neuropathies, there is a problem?" Shangguan Ziyang pointed to his head and said very unpleasantly.

"'Isn't it an enemy ......,'" Kenji didn't pick up the Dream Spirit, but it seemed that his eyes were looking deeper.

"How do you ......" Shangguan Ziyang didn't finish speaking, and suddenly saw a cold light coming directly towards his throat, fast, accurate, and ruthless!

The tip of the knife seemed to have stabbed steel one centimeter in front of Shangguan Ziyang's throat, and it stopped abruptly, and a frost magic directly rebounded at a speed no less than that of Kenji's sword, making Kenji covered with frost in an instant.

"Rub, are you really crazy??" As soon as Shangguan Ziyang finished shouting, Xianzhi stepped forward, shook off the ice flower on his body, and slammed his shoulder into Shangguan Ziyang's chest, and suddenly Shangguan Ziyang was directly knocked away by Xianzhi - after all, the two were quite different in size.

"Breathless Slash!!" Seeing Shangguan Ziyang being knocked away, Kenji used a killing move without hesitation.

Turning into a black shadow, Kenji rushed to Shangguan Ziyang, and the Taidao in his hand slashed out 8 knives in a row at a completely unpredictable speed, and the sword sword went straight to Shangguan Ziyang's throat with sword qi - Kenji had decided not to have direct contact with Shangguan Ziyang anymore, after all, Shangguan Ziyang's Langton Omen's ice spell could not be avoided at all.

The sword qi seemed to have no effect on Shangguan Ziyang, who had the Langton Omen attribute bonus—because even if Shangguan Ziyang was hit by 8 sword qi in a row, it was only flying upside down faster, and it didn't seem to have taken any damage.

The frost on the body of the fixed Kenji Bean (I didn't expect that there would be a backlash from the frost spell without direct contact, although it had no power, but it slowed down his speed greatly), Taidao retracted the scabbard, and suddenly the air around his body began to become unstable, and at this time, Shangguan Ziyang was still flying upside down, about to fall to the ground.

"Draw your sword and slash!!" Kenji pulled out the sword at a speed that exceeded the limit of human eyesight and stabbed it in the direction of Shangguan Ziyang, who was about to land.

"Huh!!" It seems that at this moment, the air of the entire shooting range was concentrated on the blade of the sword, and it was "fired" by Kenji as if it were fired by a battleship's giant cannon, and it hit Shangguan Ziyang, who was about to land, without accident.

"Dong !!" Shangguan Ziyang was knocked away by a huge force, and slammed into the wall at the edge of the shooting range at an unimaginable speed, which immediately caused a cloud of dust to fly, and after the dust cleared, Shangguan Ziyang, who was choked by the dust, found that between himself and Kenji, who was more than 100 meters away, there was an extra ravine about ten centimeters deep and 30 centimeters wide.

"Ahem, ahem...... You ......" Shangguan Ziyang didn't have time to say anything, when he saw Kenji, who was covered with frost on his body, directly inserted the sword into the ravine in front of him.

"Crescent Moon Slash!!" Kenji slammed the sword inserted in the ravine upwards, almost drawing a perfect semicircle, and the next moment, this "semicircle" turned directly into a blue-cyan sword qi and "plowed" directly along the previous "ravine" again! The speed was unimaginably fast! Shangguan Ziyang couldn't dodge, and reflexively crossed his right arm in front of him.

"Boom!" There was a dull crash, and Shangguan Ziyang was shocked backwards by the huge force. When he opened his eyes, he found that the Langton Omen, which had grown larger, had helped him block the blow solidly.

"Hey, I want to say......" Before Shangguan Ziyang could say anything, a purple light flew towards the front door, a reflexive side of his face, and what he saw in the corner of his eye was - the ghost of the dream??

Although the Dream Spirit with a strong sword aura did not stab Shangguan Ziyang, the sword aura it carried actually shaved off Shangguan Ziyang's sideburns. (I really want my life than this???? the hell is it that I want to kill me?...... What's the situation???)

The Dream Spirit was firmly anchored on the wall at the edge of the range, its tail still vibrating and making a "buzzing" sound.

"Qiang!" Shangguan Ziyang suddenly felt a chill in his back, and hurriedly turned around, only to find that Kenji's Tai knife, which appeared behind him at some point, had stabbed him in the back, and the tip of the knife had been submerged more than an inch deep. Originally, when the Langdon Omen did not become larger, the defense power was dispersed all over the body, and after the Langton Omen showed its original form, most of the defense power was concentrated in the direction corresponding to the Langton Omen, and behind it, it was supported by the life attribute of the Langton Omen, and there was not much armor attribute support, but even so, Kenji could only pierce more than an inch deep, and could not penetrate again.

The frost magic instantly froze Kenji almost into an "ice sculpture", and seeing that he could no longer be powerful, Kenji immediately pulled out the sword from the back of Shangguan Ziyang, and immediately brought out a blood arrow. Shangguan Ziyang saw that there was no expression on Xianji's face from beginning to end, and there was no emotion in his eyes, but he seemed to be ...... "murderous"?

Kenji, who had drawn his sword, rolled over in the air, shook off the ice from his body, and only lightly stepped on the Dream Spirit stuck in the wall, and his body jumped high as if it had no weight.

The wound on his back was bleeding nonstop, although with the support of the power of the three phases and the vitality of Langton's omen, Shangguan Ziyang actually didn't feel any pain, but this time Shangguan Ziyang already understood, this guy Xianzhi ...... What the hell is going on now? But if you think so, don't blame me!

"Cold Iron Domain!!" Shangguan Ziyang raised the Langton Omen and thrust it into the ground fiercely, and suddenly Shangguan Ziyang was the center, and the radius of a hundred meters was covered with frost magic, and the temperature seemed to drop by dozens of degrees in an instant.

But Kenji didn't get hit like last time, and he changed the trajectory of his fall out of thin air without "borrowing strength" in the air, and landed lightly outside the range of the "Cold Iron Domain".

"Is it a wind spell? Aberia...... "Shangguan Ziyang looked at Kenji, who happened to fall on the periphery of his "Cold Iron Domain", and sneered.

"Finally...... Do you really want to move?" Kenji still has a blank expression, "Then pick up the Dream Spirit and fight below, you have the help of the artifact, and you have the Aberian bonus below, please don't be merciful...... Of course, I will not show mercy to your subordinates! Otherwise, you will probably die. ”

"So arrogant???Okay, fulfill you!" Shangguan Ziyang sneered unusually pretending, although the Shangguan Ziyang who could make himself "pretend to be forced" was in that black cocoon, but it did not affect his current pretending to be forced and shouting, "You want to kill me?" Shangguan Ziyang also learned the way of pretending to be "another self", took a few steps back, and held the ghost spirit inserted in the wall with his right hand, only to see a flash of black light on his right arm, and the ghost spirit was pulled out in an instant, like inserting it into tofu, and gently inserted it into the ground in front of him, "I'm afraid of you...... You don't even know how you died, do you?"

"Then let's try it in the next place!" Kenji was still expressionless, and his right hand put the hilt of the knife on his waist, and his momentum skyrocketed again.

"In that case...... Shangguan Ziyang held the Langton Omen in his left hand, which was almost as tall as herself, and pulled the Dream Spirit out of the ground with his right hand and pointed it at Kenji, "Be enlightened!"

Kenji didn't talk nonsense, and under the bonus of Aberia's wind spells, he rushed into Shangguan Ziyang's "Cold Iron Domain" with unimaginable speed, but it seemed that his speed was not affected at all.

"How can you explain this speed?" Shangguan Ziyang looked at Kenji, who was still turning into a black shadow in his "Cold Iron Domain", and sneered.

"This is an external force, not under its own strength. As Kenji's voice appeared at the same time, there was also a sword that stabbed directly into his side at a tricky angle.

"From ...... Eberia?" Shangguan Ziyang did not retreat but advanced, completely gave up defense, and directly planned to attack and defend, and the ghost spirit grasped by his right hand wrapped in black light recklessly stabbed at Kenji's location, with a posture of "all end up together".

However, Kenji is not intimidated at all, it seems that the two of them are having the courage to compete at this time, and whoever withdraws the knife first will lose.

"Poof......" There was a muffled sound, and Xianji's sword pierced about an inch from Shangguan Ziyang's ribs, probably because of the vital parts, Shangguan Ziyang felt a burst of heart-piercing pain, and at the same time, Shangguan Ziyang's Langton omen and the three-phase power that turned into a charm on his chest seemed to flicker, and the light seemed to be much dimmer.

But at the same time, the ghost spirit in Shangguan Ziyang's hand seemed to penetrate a piece of paper and directly penetrated Kenji's chest, directly into the hilt of the knife.

"I see...... Shangguan Ziyang seemed to see a surprise in Xianzhi's eyes, and immediately pulled out the knife inserted under Shangguan Ziyang's ribs with his backhand, and suddenly a blood arrow sprayed out from Shangguan Ziyang's right ribs, "Hiss......" Shangguan Ziyang was in pain for a while, and involuntarily let go of the ghost dream.

It may be that there is too much bleeding, Shangguan Ziyang's vision seems to be a little blurry, and his head seems to be a little unconscious, and he vaguely seems to see Kenji grasping the dream spirit inserted in his right ribs, and pulling it out suddenly, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out before and after the wound, and even the wound is too deep, causing Kenji to spit out a mouthful of blood in his mouth. Then there were many elves suddenly appearing in the shooting range, and the leader seemed to be the Duke of the Wind, but the Duke of the Wind seemed to be arguing with that Aberia about something, but unfortunately Shangguan Zi** couldn't hear what they were talking about. After that, he lost too much blood, his vision became more and more blurry, and he finally collapsed on the ground where he was still on the ice.

When Shangguan Ziyang woke up again, he found himself lying in the room, the sunlight outside the window shining on the windowsill, and the fresh air came with the window.

"Eh, it's dawn, little guy, when is it now?" Shangguan Ziyang habitually touched the edge of the bed, but instead of touching the familiar fur of the little white tiger in the past, he did touch it...... Hair?

Shangguan Ziyang hurriedly sat up, and found that it was Alice lying on the edge of his bed asleep, and he had just touched her hair, but he heard her murmur a few words.

(It's so cute...... Shangguan Ziyang had a seizure at this time, but for some reason she felt that Alice was very cute at the moment, especially the murmur she made when she touched her hair just now.

"But that's ...... Bub...... It's really ...... Can't come back......" Shangguan Ziyang muttered to himself, the little white tiger had been following the man to the Moon City since he was chased into the Demon Beast Mountain Range by the Cedede Knight in the Gamma Empire...... It's a bit ...... to say that I'm used to the days when I'm used to it around me, and suddenly it's gone Not used to it...... Even though this guy has always had a low sense of presence......

It seemed that Shangguan Ziyang's voice was talking to herself that woke Alice up, only to see Alice get up and stretch a lazy colleague yawned, rubbed his eyes by the way, and wiped away the tears written down in the corners of his eyes due to yawning, and then opened his eyes that seemed to be sleepy, and found that Shangguan Ziyang was sitting on the bed looking at himself intently.

"Sister Ziyang, are you awake?" It seemed that suddenly the spirit came, Alice climbed onto the bed, holding Shangguan Ziyang's face with both hands and rubbing it, "I thought you still couldn't wake up!"

"Uh...... What do you mean......" Shangguan Ziyang seemed surprised, "How long have I been lying down?"

"5 days!" Alice said after confirming that she was okay, she stretched out her little hand and gestured, "Sister Amiri said that you have lost too much blood, even if I use the Fountain of Life, it cannot replace the effect of blood...... I don't know when you'll wake up, so I've been waiting here......."

(5 days...... To put it this way...... Alice...... I waited like this for 5 days...... Bub...... Have you been away from me for 5 days? Oh yes...... ）

"What about Kenji, what's his situation?" Shangguan Ziyang asked.

"I knew you were going to ask that...... At first, we were staring at him...... It's just that he didn't know how to avoid Ike's consciousness last night and ran away......" Alice said very indignantly, "that guy...... Let me find out again, I will never spare him!!"

(Ran away last night?)

"What about Aberia?" Shangguan Ziyang asked. Because Aberia must have been involved in this matter, Shangguan Ziyang also asked.

"She's under house arrest by the Duke of the Wind!" Alice's tone seemed to have a dark chill, "It seems that the events of that night have nothing to do with her......"

"By the way, I'll go tell the others!" said Alice, who hurriedly ran out of the door, probably not waking up yet, and almost tripped over the threshold.

Shangguan Ziyang looked at Alice's running back, shook his head with a smile, got up and got out of bed, and sure enough, there was a little guy missing by his side, as if he was really missing something...... Looking at the scenery outside the window, smelling the morning breeze, Shangguan Ziyang felt that the world seemed to be so colorful, saying that Kenji has not been normal since he came to Moon City, what happened to him? This time he disappeared again, what was it that made his behavior so mysterious, what did the samurai say that day, "killed his brother", what was the situation? Forget it, don't think about it, these things don't care about me? However, he is still a person who abides by the gambling contract, but last time he and Gu Xin gambled on something, and he actually agreed to participate in this Demon Martial Arts Conference, but ...... The current situation......

"Captain, you're finally awake!" came Gu Xin's obscene voice at the door, and Shangguan Ziyang turned around and found that his companions except Kenji had appeared at the door.

"Yes...... I think...... I'm fine......" Shangguan Ziyang replied.

............................................................................................................

When night came, the little white tiger still did not appear.

Shangguan Ziyang put the "battle table" sent by Gu Xin during the day in his hand on the table.

"Sister Ziyang, please let me accompany you in the future...... Because if I didn't pay attention, you disappeared...... Every time...... So please ...... Stay by your side...... After all, I also made an oath to the goddess of nature!" Alice said as she closed the door and said earnestly to Shangguan Ziyang.

"Are you sure...... Really??" Shangguan Ziyang was still thinking about the little white tiger just now, and was attracted by Alice's words, and suddenly looked at Alice's gaze with obscenity.

Although she didn't know why Shangguan Ziyang looked at her strangely, Alice still nodded seriously (why do you have that strange feeling?)

"shared the bed" with Alice again, but Shangguan Ziyang didn't make any superfluous movements, because Shangguan Ziyang was almost squeezed out of bed by Alice - Alice was too dishonest to sleep, but she always exuded a faint fragrance of plants, which smelled good. However, it seems that all elves are like this, maybe the attributes of elves are more biased towards the characteristics of plants, right?

............................................................................................................

The next night, the little white tiger still didn't come back, and Kenji was nowhere to be found.

"It's a little strange that the little one isn't around......" Alice said as she closed the door.

"Perhaps...... It might be more comfortable under its family management, so there's no need to run around with us...... Maybe a stable day is also a good one. Shangguan Ziyang said while looking at the "Memoirs". However, the little white tiger is not around, and this "Memoir" somehow can't stand it.

Day 3...... The little white tiger still hasn't returned, and Kenji is nowhere to be found. However, Gu Xin brought a piece of news, to the effect that the Duke of the Wind and Gu Xin had negotiated, and they were ready to let the mercenary group be the second seeded team of the Duke of the Wind's Mansion, and the team battle competition would directly enter the semi-finals. Because the Duke of the Wind had this intention before, and later saw the strength of the mercenary team, he abolished the original second team and changed it to the second team of the goddess mercenary group. Of course, the original second team was not convinced, but after the shooting range competition, there was still no opinion.

Day 4...... The little white tiger still hasn't returned, and Kenji is still nowhere to be found. However, on this day, the Duke of the Wind sent someone to the General Assembly Management Department to apply for a change in the competition team, so the Goddess Mercenary Group really became the second team of the Duke of the Wind's Mansion - the competition reward went to the mercenary group, and the honor went to the Duke's Mansion. So the deal was sold.

Day 5 Evening ......

"The tournament is two days away, are you ready?" Alice said, closing the door.

"What's there to prepare for...... Shangguan Ziyang lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling in a daze, "Anyway, winning is winning, and losing is losing." What's more, the first batch of singles in the first round was not our ......"

"That's ......," Alice agreed.

"But then again, we can also go directly to watch the battle and see the situation......" Shangguan Ziyang was still saying this, and suddenly sat up on the bed.

"What's wrong?" Alice wondered.

"You...... Or are you back?" Shangguan Ziyang's voice seemed a little strange, it seemed to be...... Choked up? Because just now in her mind, she remembered the phrase, "Master, I'm back!"

The window was knocked open by an unknown object, and what appeared in front of Shangguan Ziyang and Alice was a small white tiger that seemed to be in a circle and looked about the size of a husky.

The little white tiger appeared in front of Shangguan Ziyang again. Originally, Shangguan Ziyang thought that after the little white tiger was "captured" by his own family, he should ...... Possible...... Probably...... Will you just leave yourself...... Although the little white tiger has been playing soy sauce all the time, and the sense of presence is very low, but I really haven't seen the little white tiger for a while, as if ...... Seems like there's something missing around you?

"Do you know you're back......? Anyway, life over there is so good, why don't you just enjoy it there, why do you run back?" Shangguan Ziyang got up and picked up the little white tiger, and said happily as if jokingly.

"I also took advantage of them to sneak out without paying attention! They gave me strange things all day long, and I have gained a lot of weight, and if I continue like this, I will definitely be so fat that I can't walk! What's more, the master is here, and the place where the master is is where I want to go!"
