Chapter 37: Sasaki's Death

[As long as the rain is still falling, the wind will not stop grieving. ใ€‘

Kuniji spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face under the bone mask turned gloomy.

"It's really tricky, no wonder the adults would arrange this......"

Zhibo Haiyan's face remained unchanged, his fingers spun and moved in front of Bangji, and he smashed down with a powerful blow, splashing and dust for a while.

However, Bunji dodged it easily, and with the help of the dust, he raised one foot, and the tip of his sword condensed with a red flicker.

"Boom!"

Zhibo Haiyan's pupils shrank, and the flower swept horizontally, causing the void to deviate slightly, and at the same time, he also slid to the side under the huge impact.

"Calculate the time, it's about the same." Bunji's eyes narrowed and he sneered.

At this time, all the members of the Thirteenth Team present were fighting against the Great Void, and no one noticed that the rebel Reaper who had opened the enchantment before had disappeared at some point.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Not far from the battlefield, Saburo Sasaki was humming a little tune, walking on the way home, looking in a good mood, and his walking posture was unconsciously shaking.

"In this way, the process of presiding over the marriage will be understood," Saburo Sasaki briefly recalled in his mind the knowledge he had just asked for advice from a friend, and secretly felt a little proud, "Haha, I hope that Haiyan kid won't worship the teacher me too much when the time comes, that's really embarrassing......

Thinking of this, Saburo Sasaki couldn't help but pause, and thought of the real figure in his mind.

"And that really stinky boy, he's not too young, why don't you want to find a girlfriend, do you want to make me angry?"

Although he was muttering and scolding, the corners of his mouth were rising slightly, and perhaps he didn't realize that he was really a little different from other students.

"Oh, the moon is getting rounder, by the way, it's almost fifteen nights, when the time comes, take a leave, call Shangzhen and Haiyan, and a few of their seniors to enjoy the moon together, if you can take the opportunity to make a few friends, it would be great."

Saburo Sasaki looked up at the bright moon in the sky that was still slightly flawed, and began to think about it in his mind, but even if it was just the imagination in his mind, it made him feel warm in his heart.

"Mr. Sasaki!"

Suddenly, a somewhat anxious voice came, Sasaki Saburo looked a little puzzled, and saw a young man with a small and delicate face running towards him, his face a little panicked.

"Nihachi?" Saburo Sasaki was stunned for a moment, the young man in front of him was a student he had taught a few years ago, named Rihachi Konno, who had not been seen since he graduated, "What happened?" โ€

Nyhachi Konno ran to Saburo Sasaki, gasped and said, "Teacher, Deputy Captain Haiyan, he's in danger!" โ€

When Saburo Sasaki heard this, his pupils shrank, his hands grabbed his shoulders, and he asked urgently, "What's going on, where is Haiyan?" โ€

A hint of jealousy and joy flashed in Konno Renpa's pupils, and he grabbed Saburo Sasaki's hands and ran in the direction he had come.

"Over here, Teacher!"

Saburo Sasaki did not doubt him, and at the moment he was only anxious in his heart.

[Wait for me, Haiyan!] ใ€‘

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

"It's almost time...... What is the meaning? Shiba Haiyan breathed rapidly, despite the help of Shiba Du, Kuniji's speed was too fast, even if he slowed down his reaction speed, most of his attacks did not work, and Kuniji dodged them all.

"What do you mean? Isn't this already here, our 'guest'. There were a few more wounds on his body, but he was not anxious about it, and even had a feeling of eagerness.

"Petrel!" Saburo Sasaki's voice came from the entrance, and when Shiba Haiyan heard the sound, his face changed in an instant, and he turned his head to look.

"Teacher?!"

"Why are you here?!"

Saburo Sasaki looked at the scene in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems to have come at a good time...... Why am I here? I'm here to help you, Petrel. โ€

Shiba Haiyan glanced at the young man who was following Saburo Sasaki, and his pupils shrank.

"Teacher, behind you!"

Saburo Sasaki pulled out his sword from his waist, glanced back, and said with a smile, "Huh? This is your senior, named Rihachi Konno, who was also my student before, and it was he who informed me that you were in danger, so I was able to come in time. โ€

"He's a traitor, Teacher!" Zhiba Haiyan only felt a buzzing in his brain now, and said urgently.

"Poof-" Just as Shiba Haiyan's words fell, Sasaki Saburo's abdomen was pierced by a slashing knife, bringing up a handful of blood, Sasaki Saburo's eyes widened, the slashing knife slowly pulled out of his abdomen, Sasaki Saburo bowed weakly and staggered forward two steps.

"Teacher, you are old, if it had been ten years ago, I'm afraid my sword would not have hit so easily." Rihachi Konno looked at Saburo Sasaki calmly and said lightly.

Saburo Sasaki calmed his breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked sharply at Rihachi Konno.

"Renhachi...... Why?! โ€

When Rihachi Konno heard this, his eyes looked at Saburo Sasaki with a little compassion.

"Teacher, you don't understand at all...... Even death has limits, whether it is lifespan, strength, or skill, there are limits, and what I am following now is the path beyond death. โ€

"Now I can make the corrupt you a bargaining chip for my victory, and it should be the greatest respect I give you." Hitohachi Konno said with a light smile.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Nihachi! Sasaki Saburo was angry, and his whole body surged with spiritual pressure, looking at this intensity, it was about the same as three of the thirteen teams of the Imperial Court, Sasaki Saburo brandished a slashing knife and slashed towards Kinno Renpachi.

"What can you do with your current broken body?" Rihachi Konno dodged with ease, and said with a slight disdain on his face, "Honestly, don't try to resist!" โ€

As he spoke, Hitohachi Konno kicked Saburo Sasaki in the wound in the abdomen, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood and slowly collapse to the ground.

"Teacher!" When Zhibo Haiyan saw this scene, her eyes were about to split.

Saburo Sasaki is in the hands of Nyhachi Konno, which is equivalent to the other party holding the hostages, and on his side, there are these Killian Daixu and Kunji, Yachukas, and it is impossible to get out.

"It's really a master-apprentice relationship, then, that's good," Kuniji jumped several times in a row, came to Imano Renpachi's side, stepped on Sasaki Saburo, and said as he crushed, "Now, kill all the men you brought, and I can spare your teacher." โ€

Shiba Haiyan's eyes were bloodshot, and the anger almost wiped out his sanity, but Saburo Sasaki, who collapsed on the ground, was like a basin of cold water, constantly waking him up from the brink of a rampage.

"Stop dreaming!"

"Is this really possible?" Kuniji snatched the sword from Nyhachi Konno's hand, causing him to frown, but he didn't say anything, Kuniji stabbed Sasaki Saburo in the waist and stirred it gently, "You see, if you don't agree, your lovely teacher will suffer." โ€

Saburo Sasaki trembled, gritted his teeth, and did not let himself let out a trace of pain to scream.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Petrels! โ€

Saburo Sasaki suddenly roared, causing everyone to be stunned for a moment.

"Oh, so you can still talk, so let's listen to it." Now, Bangji was not in a hurry at all, pulled the sword out of his waist, and said with interest.

"With you, and with the truth, such a student, I ...... I'm a good teacher, right? Saburo Sasaki forced a strong laugh, spitting blood and shattered internal organs in his mouth.

"Teacher......" Shiba Haiyan gritted her teeth hatefully, and blood even oozed from the corners of her mouth.

"That's fine, it's, that's enough...... I only hope that there will be only enemies in front of you......"

"Now, I'm one of your enemies, defeat all your enemies, Petrel!"

Shiba Haiyan's eyes were moist, and her hands were trembling slightly.

His heart was extremely sad, but he was calmer than ever.

"Kill!" Shiba Haiyan suddenly raised his head, with a hint of determination in his eyes, and rushed towards Kuniji and Konno Renpachi.

"It's a pity, this old guy's life seems to be useless, right?" Looking at the figure of Zhibo Haiyan rushing over, Bangji didn't have the slightest wave on his face, but said lightly.

"So ......"

"Poofโ€”"

In Shiba Haiyan's pupils, the figure of Sasaki, who was cut in half, was reflected.

"Ah!!h

"Boom!"

"Die, die, die!" Shiba Haiyan gave up the wrist rotation technique he had been learning recently, and used his most instinctive attack method to attack Kuniji roughly, and Kunji also seemed to provoke ferocity, no longer dodging in a daze, and began to attack each other hard-to-head with Shiba Haiyan.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! โ€

Each blow of Shiba Haiyan was powerful and heavy, with high-pressure flowing water, which made Kuniji feel very tricky.

At this time, the brilliance in Saburo Sasaki's pupils, who was cut in half, gradually dimmed, and in his eyes, the appearance of Shiba Haiyan fighting desperately gradually blurred and became dark.

[This is what it feels like to die...... It's so nostalgic. ใ€‘

Saburo Sasaki slowly closed his eyes, and such a thought remained in his heart.

"Teacher!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, and Saburo Sasaki thought to himself, he only felt so tired that he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

Who is ......?

"Teacher!"

Saburo Sasaki opened his eyes suddenly.

"Really?!"

However, Saburo Sasaki, who opened his eyes, was still looking like Shiba Haiyan fighting desperately, but at this time, Saburo Sasaki found that his body had fully recovered!

[What the hell is going on?] ใ€‘

Saburo Sasaki got up from the ground, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

Yes, I don't have to think about these things now!

Saburo Sasaki picked up the slashing knife and rushed towards the location of Shiba Haiyan.

"Petrel!"

And at this moment, hearing his voice, everyone was stunned.

Shiba Haiyan looked back in shock and ecstasy, and found that Saburo Sasaki was unscathed, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Teacher!"

Saburo Sasaki freed his sword as he ran.

"Flash, Candle!"

As his voice fell, Saburo Sasaki's sword tip emitted a strong white light, illuminating the entire underground space, and everyone who saw it briefly fell into visual darkness.

"Poof-" With Saburo Sasaki's swift slash, Rinhachi Konno's eyes widened in the darkness of vision, and a string of blood rushed from his body.

After receiving this blow, Rihachi Konno suddenly lost his combat effectiveness and fell to the ground.

However, Saburo Sasaki did not show a victorious expression, but looked a little angry.

Because, in front of his eyes, Kuniji snatched the flower from the hand of Shiba Haiyan, who was also temporarily blind, and stabbed it towards Shiba Haiyan.

In the dark, Shiba Haiyan only felt that his hands were empty, and in the next second, he was pushed by someone and fell to the ground, Saburo Sasaki's spiritual pressure suddenly skyrocketed, and then weakened in an instant.

"Poof-" Blood splattered.

After Shiba Haiyan regained his eyesight, the first thing he saw was Saburo Sasaki, who was in front of him and was penetrated through his body instead of himself.

"Ahem......" Saburo Sasaki coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and around his waist, a gray amulet broke out of it and fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces.

[It turns out that you saved my ......]

"Teacher......" Shiba Haiyan's pupils lost color and stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes.

At this point, time seems to stand still, losing all cacophony of sounds.

"Poofโ€”"

Bangji exerted his strength again, and the flower was inserted in Sasaki Saburo's abdomen, and at this moment, Sasaki Saburo was directly cut in half horizontally, and the blood was sprinkled on Shiba Haiyan's body, making him sober up instantly.

"It's crooked, it's noisy," Bangji shook the flower, shaking off the blood, "But, thanks to you, I'm in the ascendancy now, oh, you don't know yet, my eyesight is very poor, and I don't fight by eyesight." โ€

Saburo Sasaki's body fell to the ground, his consciousness dissipating rapidly.

In such a short period of time, I have experienced two deaths, and no one can hold it up.

But when he was dying, he was only worried about the fact that Shiba Haiyan's slashing knife was taken away, so he tried his last strength to throw the slashing knife that he had been holding tightly in his hand towards Shiba Haiyan.

"Petrel, fight."

Shiba Haiyan caught the slashing knife, and Saburo Sasaki seemed to be finally relieved, so his eyes slowly closed.

[Great...... At least, Haiyan can live. ใ€‘

[I'm sorry, but I'm ...... Even if it saved my life, I still couldn't survive, I'm a teacher, it's really, so worry-free......]

[In my life, I have actually lived a colorful enough life, and now I have no regrets about dying here. ใ€‘

[However, there are still some regrets...... I didn't realize it before, but now I realize that I'm going to die......]

- I really want to hear you call me "father".

"Sasaki-sensei!!"
