This night is not destined to be quiet for Upper Kyoto.

It's not just the big guys who are not at peace.

In this chasing battle between the two ninth-order god-level powerhouses underground, even if there was no too fierce head-on collision in a short period of time, the aftermath of that touch still caused extremely serious damage to the sewer pipes.

In addition, various buildings on the ground of Upper Kyoto felt the tremors of various sizes in the quiet of the night, and some of the buildings on the ground even tilted.

When did the celestial nobles in Shangjing encounter this kind of thing, some turned on the TV and saw the live broadcast of this scene on the TV, and they angrily cursed the clown mask man who disturbed people's dreams not to die.

Due to various historical reasons, the adjudication division is not so popular in the eyes of the celestial nobles in the upper Kyoto city area.

But at this moment, the second ruling that hung behind Higashino Hara and chased after him made Puso. Wiseman turned out to be the heart of the people, and almost all the citizens of Shangjing were praying that he would get rid of the damn Clown Mask Man as soon as possible.

Higashinohara naturally didn't know that the aftermath of the several collisions between him and the man behind him in the underground waterways in the middle of the night had caused the anger of some celestial nobles and lords on the ground.

Now almost everyone in front of the TV staring at this rare "live broadcast of the arrest" is hoping that he will die soon.

That may not be accurate.

At least in Meiji Mansion, which is separated from Shangjing by a river, there are still some people who are silently praying for him.

But none of this is what Higashinohara is concerned about at the moment.

It's three o'clock in the morning.

At the moment, he was carrying a knife in his hand.

His fifth knife.

That's right, before that, Higashinohara had been abruptly shortened by the demon sword Puso four times. Wiseman catches up, paying a knife each time.

Until now,

Of the seven knives that Tanjuro Kamado gave him yesterday evening, there are only three left in his hand.

Means he has three more chances.

Once he is approached by the other party three more times, at that time, Higashinohara will no longer have any weapons in his hands.

The only thing to be thankful for is that

When Higashinohara blasted the wall of the sewer again about half an hour ago to escape, he took advantage of the cover of darkness to put down Little Will who was leading the way for him on his back.

The reason why this is so, on the one hand, is that with a child on his back, it is always inevitable that he will be a little constrained;

On the other hand, after listening to the other party's untrue words late last night, Little Will was very worried about the safety of his mother and younger brother.

Higashinohara couldn't return to the underground world immediately, so he could only put down Xiao Wei, who was familiar with the road, nearby first, and told him to be careful and return first.

It was at that time, after a short pause, that Higashinohara broke the fourth knife he was holding at that time.

Good thing in Pso. Wiseman's attention was all on Higashinohara, and he didn't notice that the little guy behind him was missing for the first time.

By the time the reaction comes,

With the speed of Higashinohara [Candle Dragon of the Day] at twenty-three times the speed and the speed behind him. The speed of the first layer of "quicksand scales" simulated by Wiseman's "Unscrupulous Phases", and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had flown out several miles along the sewer pipe.

But the only person he's going to kill tonight is Higashinohara.

Even fled to Doroshi in the sewers of Baling County. Alita was only handed over to her subordinates to pursue, and she had no time to take care of it, so how could she bother to care about an inconsequential underground mouse.

"Haven't you found out yet?"

Following the reluctant Pso. Wiseman stared at the 'stubborn resistance' Higashinohara in front of him, squinted slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "From the moment you met me, there was no option to escape. ”

Higashinohara, who was speeding through the sewers and setting off a gust of wind, glanced back at each other!

Looking at each other through the masks, there were not too many waves, and they turned their heads again without saying a word and ran wildly.

Psoe. Seeing this, a hint of ridicule flashed in Wiseman's eyes, as if he wanted to break down the defense in Higashinohara's heart, and continued to say to him unhurriedly, "To be honest, I don't think this plan is perfect, and all this you did tonight was to buy more time for that woman, didn't you?"

I really don't know whether to lament your infatuation or your stupidity, a human being is a half-breed bastard."

Whoosh!

It's in Psoe. When Wiseman opened his mouth again, a glimmer of light suddenly tore through the dark sewers, peeling away from the wild running figure of Higashinohara and reversing towards Pso. Wiseman's throat flew through it.

This scene is visually viewed.

It seems that Higashinohara's figure is still flying forward, as if by inertia, but a doppelganger-like shadow appears behind him and strikes in the opposite direction.

It wasn't some afterimage.

No afterimage will take on this state.

The reason for this.

Just for one reason.

Higashinohara's speed is too fast.

【Dragon of the Candlelight】Twenty-four times the speed!

It's so fast that the afterimages have inertia!

You know,

Higashinohara though in the White Swan Harbor last time with Pso. Wiseman's maximum speed was twenty-three times his speed, but his [Agility] stat didn't break the 200-point mark at the time.

And yesterday at noon at the World Bank Building, I faced Yavuz who had just entered the Ninety-Five Realm. When Bart's [agility] attribute broke through the 200-point mark, he once soared his speed to twenty-five times the speed of the quicksand scales.

now

He certainly didn't open his cards.

However, this has suddenly doubled the number of Dragons of the Candlelight. Twenty-four times the speed], but still made his shadow have a terrifying inertia?

This is where we come to the moment.

That surpassed the extreme speed of light and fire, and the second ruling made Pso. Wiseman only felt a slight chill on his cheeks, and the tip of his nose seemed to smell a very slight smell of blood, and then his face instantly became gloomy!

A very slight voice rang out.

"I didn't expect that something missing would make you even as noisy as a woman.

I'm sorry about that. ”

It's like a spark thrown into a barrel of dynamite.

Zheng—!

Psoe. The demon knife [Mura Yumaru] that Wiseman lifted halfway was obviously a beat slower, but the moment his face suddenly fell, it suddenly disappeared in place, and the next moment, the sound of bursting Jin Ge exploded in his ears.

The fifth fast knife in Higashinohara's hand.

Almost at the moment when the dark red sword light filled the field of vision, it broke neatly from the middle again!

But this knife is not finished,

Teasing Higashinohara's jaw, it looked like it was going to split his head in half from the middle.

The next moment,

The dark red light of the sword slashed through everything.

The wet arched walls of the sewers overhead trembled, and countless concrete and bricks collapsed in large swaths, and were swept away in all directions by a violent and invisible force.

Psoe. Wiseman raised his head and squinted slightly, and Higashinohara in front of him once again appeared where the figure had just peeled off, and he still maintained the movement of flying and running forward.

If it weren't for the wound on his cheek that was cut open, and the half-cut blade that the other party was carrying, everything just now would have been like an illusion that didn't exist.

Countercurrent. Getaway!

Time is not about how much you have,

It's about how you use it.

As long as there is a splash of "waves" left in the long river of time, it can appear at any time where the "waves" splash.

At that moment,

Just like this at this moment.

Psoe. Wiseman didn't face the speed system rules of the almost space-time system that Higashinohara comprehended at the first time. Getaway]?

But the last realization was too painful,

It hurts my heart.

Until this time,

Only then did he see this scene in its entirety.

"I see?"

The second ruling made Psoe. Wiseman lowered his gaze slightly, muttering to himself.

Immediately, he showed a smiling expression towards Higashinohara, and said in a deeper and deeper tone, "To be honest, the sweetness of your 'fruit' has exceeded my expectations, and it also makes me look forward to what sweet and fragrant it will be when I bite into it." ”

Higashinohara from Doroshi. Alita learned that the man in front of him had awakened the talent sequence 18 purple epic ability [Immeasurable Phases], which made him develop a habit of treating the target as a fruit harvest.

He knew what that meant.

Sure enough.

In the next second, the corners of Higashinohara's eyes were suddenly filled with floating lights.

There was obviously only one enemy directly behind him, but at this moment, except for the road ahead, there was a feeling of being embattled out of thin air.

Higashinohara instantly understood.

This even Empress Dolohi. Alita's order, a man who can simulate it, finally peeks into the mystery of his hidden speed.

Able to do that.

It's not that the [Unscrupulous Phases] of Talent Sequence 18 is perverted, and it can replicate other people's abilities while also peeking into other people's domains, rules, and even order.

It has to be said

No matter how disgusting and disgusting this man is, there is no denying that this man who hangs behind Higashinohara is too strong!

It's too perverted!

Even if it is not favored by such a lucky woman as natural ability, Pso. Wiseman was able to peek into the mysteries of ordinary opponents' abilities simply by relying on the [Mind Flow] technique that he comprehended with his demonic talent.

The technique is close to the Tao.

I'm afraid that's not it.

Think about it the other way around,

If it weren't for such a demonic talent

A human being who is full of lowly blood in the eyes of the nobles of Shangjing Heavenly People,

How could it be under one person in the Upper Kyoto City Circle, in a place like the Adjudication Division, where there are many celestial talents?

These thoughts instantly swept through Higashinohara's mind, his lips pursed tightly, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

He knew that the man behind him was definitely the most powerful enemy he had ever faced since he came to this world.

Especially the battle of White Swan Harbor,

After losing something, the corners of this mouth are often full of madness and murderous aura, and at this moment, a trace of evil and madness has been added, as if some kind of restraint has been removed, and the strength shown at this moment is actually even more than before!

Higashinohara walked quickly with a large knife in his hand, feeling the strong sense of oppression that suddenly hit him from different angles from time to time behind him, and quickly changed direction and landed under his feet in the sewer.

And every time he changes,

A dark red sword light flashed from the landing point of his previous route, and the hard sewer walls suddenly crumbled and collapsed like tofu.

"No chance.

As I said, there is no chance. ”

A perfect reproduction of Higashinohara's [Countercurrent. Getaway] after Puso. Wiseman's voice began to become a little erratic, and his tone was full of banter,

"How many knives do you have? How many stabs can you stop me? Do you really think you can escape from Shangjing? ”

Of course, he said that these things were not true, as Higashinohara said, there was something missing in his body, and his personality began to become verbose.

Contrary

Psoe. Wiseman is enjoying the oppression brought by language, enjoying the increasingly tense nerves of Higashinohara, and enjoying the fun of "picking" before receiving.

Higashinohara was well aware of the other party's intentions.

With the sixth knife in his hand, he pursed his lips and continued to run without saying a word.

Of course, he didn't plan to escape from Shangjing like this.

In fact

He kept staring at the time in subtle amplitude.

It's half past four in the morning.

There was still half an hour before the appointed time, but fortunately, the blessing of the [Sin Manual] had entered the "state of stagnation" of the title function that had been added to him every seventy-two hours after the night's counter-hunting, and he had to stay the rest of the time when he needed it most.

At this moment, Higashinohara's nerves are extremely tense!

Although the man chased after him, from the words of the other party halfway, it could be at least heard that some of the black-robed soldiers of the Ruling Division had gone to the settlement of the underground refugees in the upper Kyoto City area in two ways.

That underworld rat city.

There is no doubt about the integrity of the Stove Gate Sword Casting Clan.

Not to mention the character of Tanjuro Kamado, he is very sure that the other party has not closed his eyes this night, and he is going all out to forge the Kyoto Supreme Great Knife Twelve Gong into one.

But what Higashinohara can't know for sure

If the man behind the ruling division really said that the underground settlement of the center of Upper Kyoto has been cleaned, will Tanjuro Kamado be able to complete the recasting as scheduled?

If the answer is no.

So he's near that place at the moment,

He was greeted by the overwhelming black-robed enforcement team of the Adjudication Division and the people from the Security Department, and there was not much difference between saying that he had thrown himself into the net.

For a moment,

Higashinohara's heart was shaken.

But looking at the "shattering when touched" knife under the man's demon knife [Murayu Maru] in his hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.

The man behind him who kept attacking his heart, although he wanted to shake his belief in fighting.

But at least one thing is right.

- That's this underground encounter, and from the very beginning, Higashinohara didn't have any choice.

Not to mention the "distant" thing of winning the battle, just if he wanted to have the power to fight when facing the man behind him, he had to retrieve the twelve-in-one reforged supreme fast knife.

Thinking of this, Higashinohara no longer hesitated, and immediately accelerated under his feet and slashed the sewer wall beside him!

In the next moment, his whole body followed the countless gravels to cross into another road, and the figure in his memory once again pulled out countless afterimages.

In an instant, Puso appeared next to the entrance of the cave. Wiseman looked at Higashinohara's back, as if he had guessed something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly mockingly.

Still hoping to blend in with the crowd?

What a .

The guy who doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin.

But that's fine

This time, he has to fully appreciate the despair of the other party after seeing hope, so as to release everything he has endured for this time.

Four 5:57 a.m.

There was a frightened silence in the gloomy sewers, and Spark, the bald man who had a relationship with Higashino last night, looked sideways slightly, looking at the intense fire and desperate cries for help in the underground passage diagonally opposite from the reflection of a piece of broken glass with a gloomy face.

Gradually,

There was some sadness on his face!

Or more precisely,

It's a kind of grief and indignation!

These outcasts are lowly,

But that is also the "tenant" in the jurisdiction of his big rat, and everyone is his private property.

But now,

He who escaped a catastrophe and hid in a hurry,

But he could only watch as the land he had managed to grab and the untouchable tenants who offered him every month were slaughtered, and he kept wailing!

In fact, not only him, but also several followers behind him also had a thick look of amazement in their eyes at this time.

Why do you feel so confused?

For example, the weak will always swing a knife at the weaker, and human beings always like to find confidence and solace in people who are more miserable than themselves.

- The untouchables who were once trampled under their feet are dead, so does it mean that tomorrow even if they survive, they will naturally become the people they once trampled underfoot?

However, while these big rats were hiding in the corner, they were barely breathing.

Suddenly, a small figure cut through the darkness, and before they could come to their senses, it passed past them and rushed into the sewers that emitted a thick fire and black smoke.

Who is it?!

"It's the kid from last night."

"Will?"

"That's right, it's him."

"He's back at this time?"

"Is this little thing crazy?"

“.”

Looking at the weak figure that rushed into the fire and smoke, several "big rats" suddenly fell silent.

They probably guessed in their hearts why the other party rushed back so desperately.

Because of the family

They also have families.

But they were lucky enough to escape, but at this moment they lowered their heads deeply, and no one dared to look up at the weak figure that disappeared into the firelight without returning.

"Mom! Brother! ”

In the billowing smoke, Little Will crawled against the edge of the sewer, his eyes wide open in front of him and the swaying black-robed figures.

Even if I heard Pso. After Wiseman's words, Little Will's heart had already been mentally prepared, but the half of the bloody and broken body that he had just glimpsed when his body crawled over still made him breathe rapidly.

But he didn't stop.

After discerning the direction, he still walked through the billowing smoke from the ground towards the "home" location in his memory.

Slowly,

Cautiously prostrate.

He didn't know how long he had climbed.

finally

It's finally closer.

Little Will looked at the narrow sewer hole in front of him with a gray curtain stained with oil, and his heart felt uneasy for no reason.

He was afraid, afraid that when he opened the familiar curtain, it would be empty.

However, no matter how scared you are.

Eleven-year-old Will knows that since his father was killed in a sewer flood, he has to take on all this as the breadwinner of the family.

"Mom. Brother, I'm here to save you! ”

Little Will finally crawled to the narrow sewer, and with trembling arms he opened the gray curtain.

The picture imprinted in front of him made his body stiffen slightly, and there was an empty coldness all over his body.

The partition divided into two layers has been rudely cut, and the lower bunk is free of the voice of the mother who is sick in bed on weekdays, and the upper bunk is free of the young brother who can play happily by putting the broken dishes and chopsticks in a row.

The small sewers were empty.

Nothing.

It's like Little Will's heart.

His lips trembled, as if he wanted to cry, but he had not cried since his father's death, and he stubbornly held back

In the end, I finally cried.

However, at this moment,

In the innermost part of the partition, a black cloth suddenly moved, and a swarthy head popped out.

Little Will was stunned for a moment,

As if he had been hit by great joy, he quickly jumped up and hugged his younger brother.

"Brother!" The five or six-year-old boy cried and shouted tremblingly.

"It's okay! It's okay! ”

Little Will caressed his younger brother's back and comforted, looked around, and his heart gradually sank.

"Mom. Mom was dragged away by those men in black clothes, she told me to hide, I don't know what to do, woo" the little child cried with a trembling voice.

Little Will's heart finally sank completely, and he lowered his head slightly and leaned on his brother's shoulder, clenching his fists tightly.

Why?!

Why is this happening!

I've already earned my rent arrears!

My mother's medicine money is also enough.

I can even buy a pair of shoes for my brother.

Why is this happening

"Huh?" Suddenly, the gray curtain was lifted, and there was a soft noise.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the little mouse that sneaked in with him would have an extra harvest." A woman in a black robe held a quick knife stained with blood, holding a curtain and looking at Little Will with a smile.

Suddenly, her expression became a little disgusted, "I said how can that woman not be afraid of death, it turns out that there is still a little mouse hidden here." ”

At this moment, the female judge's gaze did not look like she was looking at her kind.

That's right, the two little boys who were hugging each other and dirty at the moment were in front of the female black-robed judge in front of him, even if he cut off countless limbs, he still didn't drip blood all over his body.

It's no different from two dirty, ugly rats in the sewers

So she took a step forward,

He handed out the knife holding the curtain in his hand.

And yet in the next moment,

The knife stopped.

Snort!

The woman looked down at the blade, through the reflection of the blade of the blade that flickered in the cold light.

She saw herself!

Blood!

Blood everywhere!

Originally, her abdomen was not stained with blood, but at some point, a huge blood hole was cut, and the dirty organs and large and small intestines were like garbage pouring all over her body!

The woman's stunned figure shook, and she fell to the ground.

And that's not all.

Tear pull—!

With a terrible whistling!

Like a hot blade slicing through cheese.

The walls on both sides of the entire row of sewers were completely torn apart by a knife light that dragged two waves of pale blue and pale golden flames.

torn with it,

There are also black-robed executors who stood in front of them for a second and looked at the remaining untouchables to be slaughtered.

It's like a picture being torn apart.

The black-robed executors outside, without exception, were all cut into two sections from the middle by the two knives.

Immediately, it was scorched by the extremely hot heat wave into two pieces of "charcoal" that fell to the ground.

This one who came with two knives in his hand and a torrent of flames was naturally the one who had been running along the periphery for nearly five hundred miles all night.

These two knives in his hand.

It was also his last two knives.

However, at the moment when the twin knives that pulled the unparalleled flame tide swept through the passage, in the narrow sewer, Xiao Wei, who was holding his younger brother, suddenly raised his head!

Through the suddenly stirred gray curtain, Little Will's vision was filled with a large dark red floating light, and his eyes shrank suddenly!

I saw that the double knives in the hands of the masked gentleman who followed him last night suddenly broke into two pieces from the middle without warning!

The next moment,

It's like a passive head-on hit!

Higashinohara's figure suddenly flew upside down in a certain direction, piercing through several partitions along the way, and finally tearing a curtain and slamming into a sewer hole.

Boom!

It's like knocking over something,

There was a strong fire that flickered and disappeared.

Little Will stared blankly at the twists and turns outside, his brain was confused, and he had no idea what was going on.

When his gaze finally followed the figure and landed on the mouth of the sewer hole, he suddenly realized something.

That sewer is

"Tonight, you'll drain the last drop of blood in my hands!"

Dressed in a wide black robe, the second ruling made Puso. Wiseman stood in the smoke of the flames with a large dark red knife in his hand, and the smile on his lips grew more and more frenzied.

"As I said, there is no point in running away and resisting, you can't outrun my speed, and you don't have any weapons worthy of a fight."

It seems like a long time has passed.

And it seems to be only for a moment.

"Then try again."

The gray curtain swayed in the firelight in the sewer hole, and suddenly there was a faint voice.

The second ruling made Psoe. Wiseman's Huo Ran looked up, only to see a vague figure emerge from the flickering firelight at the entrance of the cave!

A knife appeared in Higashinohara's hand.

In the next second, the flames behind him suddenly appeared in an elliptical vacuum.

The partition that had just shattered all the way in front of him and everything that stood in the way suddenly exploded as if it had been blown away by an invisible big hand to the sides, and even the air between the two of them emitted a series of rolling sonic booms as if they were overwhelmed!

This strange scene suddenly made countless people's eyes widen!

The second ruling made Psoe. Wiseman's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt a speed completely different from when he was chasing and killing just now!

His eyes suddenly froze!

This guy.

Did you just slow down?!

Looking for !! Death

Between the electric light and the dew,

Psoe. Wiseman's lightning speed suddenly raised the big fast knife in his hand, and almost without any hesitation, he slashed towards the empty air in front of him!

At this moment, his eyes flickered,

But it is the indomitable madness of vowing to cut the other party with a knife and people!

Boom!

And yet the next moment,

A deafening and deafening Jin Ge exchange exploded!

Invisible shockwaves swept away in all directions, and the ground under the feet of both of them trembled slightly for a moment, and the people in the center of Kyoto above their heads finally felt the strongest "tremor" of this sleepless night!

That's impossible!!!

The second ruling of the gloomy owl made Pso. Wiseman's eyes narrowed, staring at the unpretentious and unpretentious knife in Higashinohara's hand, which seemed to have just been forged and was still wrapped in a strong and pungent quenching water vapor, and did not even have a blade.

Even so, the black light of the blade of the knife inexplicably made people tremble like a hidden dragon out of the abyss, silently declaring that this big fast knife is definitely the ultimate murder weapon for life and death!

The next moment,

The pale blue fireworks dissipate!

Faintly,

Near the hilt of Higashinohara's wrist, a line of sword inscriptions that look like shadow carvings emerge.

Three words can be seen vaguely.

- Lake Toya.

Kyoto Supreme Knife Twelve Workers.

A co-cast.

The big chapter asks for a monthly ticket lulu~
