【50】Flower petals
“...... Wolf? ”
When Han Baiyi heard the voice, he looked up at Mrs. Die, and saw her looking at herself in shock, but the voice did not come from her mouth.
Turning his head, he saw Miko and his party walking on the mountain road.
Miko looked at him with her mouth open, and Mrs. Wanko dragged Miko behind her back, her facial muscles stiffened, and she slowly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the corpses all over the ground.
Inosuke drew his sword out of its sheath and looked at the only two people standing on the field with a wary expression.
The knife trembled slightly.
Glancing at the corpses of the lonely shadows on the ground, as well as the owl who was ridden under Han Baiyi, Inosuke swallowed his saliva with difficulty and vaguely.
Did the two of them kill all these people? ’
'These ninjas...... It seems to be a little familiar, is it the lone shadow under the command of Lord Xiao? ’
'So many ...... died'
'This man killed them?' ’
Is he the inner ghost? ’
With just such a stunned effort, Miko had already passed a few people and walked in the direction of the wolf.
Mrs. Wanko was the first to react and stretched out her hand towards Miko, but her steps froze in place, not daring to move.
"Young master!"
"Be careful!"
Inosuke also reacted immediately, reaching out to grab Miko, but she threw him away.
Yuzi stared at the direction of Han Baiyi in a daze, looking at the corpse of the owl on the ground, the blood on Han Baiyi's knife, the small fist clenched tightly, and his heart was a mess.
"Wolf ......"
The words first paused, and then the tone suddenly increased.
"What's going on!"
Han Baiyi first glanced in the direction of the butterfly, rushed to Yuzi behind him, faced the butterfly, and said quickly in a low voice:
"Lord Miko, everything in the Hirata family today is caused by Lord Xiao, and I am ashamed to have failed to protect the safety of my master because I have been tracking the movements of Lord Xiao, and I will be punished afterwards."
"Other than that......"
The blade is outward-looking, and his gaze is directed at Madame Butterfly.
"Lord Butterfly is friend or foe, I can't judge for the time being, please be careful."
Han Baiyi's eyes were clear.
Everything Madame Butterfly has done is both touching and poignant, but everything she has done has a reason - that is, to find a guardian for Miko.
She was too old, too old to continue to protect Miko, and there was a black flame in her body that burned life without knowing what it was, no matter how much she continued to hold on, she couldn't last a few days, so she had to find a replacement for Miko in advance.
This man is the wolf.
In other words, there is a high probability that there will be a need or a fight between the wolf and the butterfly lady.
Madame Butterfly needs to test the wolf's strength to see if he has grown to the point where he can replace herself.
A life-and-death battle is inevitable.
If you don't follow it with life and death, how can you know if your own disciples are doing their best?
The reason why Madame Butterfly would go to great lengths to lay out that step before was not to kill herself in order to let the wolf fight for her life.
It is precisely because Han Baiyi is clear that he is so cautious.
Because Mrs. Butterfly really doesn't have a few days to live.
In order to achieve her goal, she can do anything.
Hearing Han Baiyi's words, Yuzi's heart was relieved at first, and then he raised his thoughts.
But when she reacted to what Han Baiyi said about the enemy being 'Mrs. Butterfly', Wan Er smiled and said lightly:
"No, wolf! Madame Butterfly is my ......."
Dangdang!
Before Yuzi could finish speaking, Han Baiyi suddenly pulled out his knife to block the two long needles that flew in, the piercing metallic sound made Yuzi startled, and his bare little feet took a step back, with an innocent and incomprehensible look on his little face, and some grievances suddenly surged in his eyes when he looked at Mrs. Die.
Looking at Madame Butterfly, Miko's voice was low, with some trilling questions.
"Butterflies?"
Miko's little head was suddenly a little confused, and she couldn't understand why Mrs. Butterfly, who had signed a contract with herself for many years and watched herself from childhood to adulthood, would make a move on herself.
"Miko-sama, be careful."
Han Baiyi said in a dull voice.
Anyway, Miko can't die, although Miko herself always forgets this because of the real pain when she is injured, but Mrs. Butterfly is very clear, and she will naturally not show mercy to the two of them together, at most she feels sorry for Miko who was affected in her heart.
Thinking so in his heart, Han Baiyi still said while habitually reaching out and pushing the royal son back.
Ahem, that's probably what it's all about.
The main thing is that he just saw the two people who came to protect the royal son, apparently it's Inosuke's mother and son.
If you leave it to them for protection, there should be no problem.
Miko was pushed by his head and stepped back again and again, and suddenly there was a click under his feet, stepping on a branch.
When I looked down, I saw a cherry blossom at my feet.
Han Baiyi pushed and beckoned back:
"Hey, Inosuke, protect Miko-sama."
His eyes were firmly fixed on the corpse of the owl and the lady butterfly not far away.
This time, Han Baiyi was a good learner, and knew that his dear father-in-law was definitely not dead, so he simply stayed away from his corpse and was always vigilant, so that he was not afraid of being stabbed in the back by someone behind him.
The question now is when the righteous father, who was stabbed by his own immortal slash, will be resurrected.
Han Baiyi was tense all over, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Behind him, Miko saw the cherry blossom petals under his feet, and his little face was a little puzzled, but he didn't care too much.
Inosuke on the side suddenly took a few steps forward, and Miko turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile:
"Inosuke, don't worry about me, the wolf can protect ......"
Something doesn't seem right.
Miko frowned and snorted:
"Inosuke?"
Han Baiyi heard the footsteps behind him, and knew that it was Inosuke who wanted to protect Miko, so he didn't pay much attention to it until he heard Miko's voice, and he tightened his body, which seemed a little weird.
Before he could think about it, there was already the sound of a blade tearing through the air behind him.
Han Baiyi was tense at this time, naturally he would not be attacked by such an obvious knife, twisting his feet, Wedgemaru threw a knife along the momentum, and blocked Inosuke's long knife with a bang, followed by a knife to cut off his right hand, and the knife suddenly fell to the ground.
It was only at this time that Mrs. Wanzi, who had always kept her head down, raised her head suddenly, looked at the broken arm on the ground, and screamed in disbelief:
"Inosuke!!"
But this is not over, Inosuke, who had broken a hand, didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, a pair of pupils rushed up with red eyes, blocked in front of Wedge Pill with one arm and body, opened his hand with a hideous face, and was pierced through his chest, and he wanted to hold Han Baiyi's right hand tightly.
Han Baiyi instinctively felt that something was wrong, kicked Inosuke away, turned his head and frowned at Mrs. Butterfly.
In the field, he can use illusions to control others without moving, except for Madame Butterfly.
It's just that...... Why did she use this method?
That shouldn't be in line with her purpose of testing her strength, right?
Before Han Baiyi could open his mouth to ask something, the familiar sharp pain suddenly hit his brain, and the thick and long knife penetrated his chest from his vest, and stabbed Han Baiyi straight in front with blood.
In the distance, Madame Butterfly's eyes widened in astonishment.
Looking at the bloody blade, Han Baiyi reacted immediately, and almost scolded MMP in his heart, and the sharp pain stimulated him to grit his teeth.
The murderer behind him doesn't have to think about it to know, he must be an old man!
Why didn't anyone tell him that he could do illusions?!
The muffled voice of the owl sounded from behind.
"I don't know how you found out about my movements...... However, since you have betrayed the precepts of the ninja, you have to pay the price. ”
"Also, my father was really surprised."
"Wolves."
Poof.
The long knife was drawn, and blood was splattered on the ground.
Han Baiyi fell to the ground with a thud, tilting his head sideways.
The heart was pressed against the ground, and it was beating slowly.
His eyes widened and his facial expression was hideous.
There was a hint of cherry blossom in his pupils.
- He saw the cherry blossom petals at Miko's feet.
'Original...... Is this the thing? ’
