Meanwhile.

The other side.

On the road to the castle.

"Meow-" Cha Cha Maru was held in his arms, constantly jolting up and down with the man's running movements, with a hopeless expression.

Why.

Cha Cha Maru drooped the cat's head.

The source of Tanjuro's smell... It's the same direction as this big giant...

It raised its head weakly, and its clear yellow eyes reflected the appearance of the person holding itself.

"Nan Wu..."Beimingyu stroked the tea pills in his arms, and his footsteps did not stop.

He went straight to Tomioka's station.

The pillars near the Volunteer Station are the Immortal River and the Little Bane.

Yiyong, who didn't know how to tell it, simply sent a similar letter to all the pillars.

It's late, but it's in time!

in the arms.

Cha Cha Maru's expression was desperate.

It followed Tanjuro's scent and ran out wildly.

Unexpectedly, Tanjuro didn't find it.

actually caught up with Sorrow Island first.

The moment a cat and a person looked at each other in surprise, Chacha Pill was picked up by the other party and put in his arms, and they moved forward together.

"Meow—"

The footsteps of Grief Mingyu kept ringing on the street, causing everyone who heard the sound to poke their heads out and look at it in amazement.

……

……

Bang——!!

Dust and fog swept through the streets, and a loud sound echoed through the castle.

On the streets, many houses were suddenly lit up due to fright, and people began to walk out of the houses one after another.

"What sound?"

"Where did the explosion happen?"

"That...! What is that?! ”

Someone looked sleepily from side to side, suddenly opened his eyes wide in fright, stretched out his hand and shouted in one direction.

……

Dust was everywhere, and rubble splashed the streets with a loud thud.

"One after the other, like flies."

He waved the dust rippling in front of him.

He clenched his fists, and the restraint he felt before when he couldn't punch was gone.

Already the third person.

Lord Wu Miao, it's not that his subordinates want to fight.

The long-suppressed desire to fight in his heart suddenly lifted, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile, he lowered his head and moved his wrist joint.

It's forced to be helpless.

When he raised his head and looked ahead.

His eyes suddenly became a little surprised.

"Huh?"

He straightened up in the dust, his peach-colored shirt blowing in the wind, and a strange expression on his pale face.

- What a faint vindictive...

In the moonlight, his golden eyes reflected the light, and they looked very dazzling in the dust and mist.

Pink eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Look through the dust and fog and look ahead.

“… Finally see me. ”

Tanjuro stood calmly on the roof across the street, and Haori was stirred by the wind.

He lowered his blade and shook his head slightly helplessly.

His speed is faster than that of Kyojuro, and he also came here in advance to support.

But.

When he first stood in the way of the Zodiac and tried to stop the other party.

Maybe it's the transparency of the world, which makes its own breath transparent.

The rushing Zodiac is like seeing itself as an ordinary stone.

- Ignore yourself and leave.

After reacting in astonishment, Tanjuro could only continue to catch up.

In desperation.

He closed the transparent world and controlled the exposure of some breath before he could get the Zodiac to notice him.

And deliberately let the Zokuza find out because Tanjuro has some ideas of his own.

After the power of resurrection is sufficient, and witnessed the black... Following the transformation of Kuniwatsu, such a thought faintly appeared in his heart.

Tanjuro's eyes narrowed slightly.

- Lure the upper string to mutiny.

From the mutinous ghosts, more information is often obtained.

For example, the map provided by Jiguo Iwakatsu, a series of information told by the prostitute Taro before he died.

The ghost of the rebellion may have unexpected effects later.

Whether it is to lure Shangxing to defect, or his behavior after the rebellion, it is risky, so Tanjuro intends to do it naturally.

If you can't do it, you can only kill.

And at this moment, the ghost who has the most reason to rebel in the upper string is standing in front of his eyes.

Opposite side.

Uzuma looked at Tanjuro.

Faint, paper-like fighting spirit attached to Tanjuro's body, thin as if the wind could blow it away.

A person's fighting spirit can intuitively reflect the strength of this person.

And the guy on the other side...

It's a weakness that you can see at a glance.

Yiwoza frowned, and after looking at it suspiciously, the interest in fighting that he had just mentioned suddenly collapsed:

"Huh... A ghost hunter of this calibre...", glancing sideways, at the other two people behind him who were chasing him from afar:

"It's really underestimated."

Turning his head, his expression calmed down.

Whispered in his mouth:

"Kill it."

Smack.

He shifted his gaze to the weakest part of Tanjuro's body, which was usually a person's weakness.

The calves are tense and slammed!

The whole person turned into an afterimage, swept over the street, and rushed straight towards Tanjuro!

Bang - whoosh!

At the moment of approaching Tanjuro.

Uzuza had already looked behind Tanjuro, the streets and rooftops.

In his heart, he calculated the route of the meeting, how to get rid of the ghost hunters behind him.

Not noticing the punch he swung.

Swish!

It's been empty.

Tanjuro tilted his head slightly, his pupils moving, looking at the fist that grazed his face.

The black wedge pill stood up on the side of the shoulder, and the sharp blade touched the muscles in the joint of the left arm of the Sakuza.

Clench your palms, push hard, and pick up!

Poof!

As the pitch-black sword slashed, blood splattered, and the left arm of the Zodiac Seat flew up!

At the moment when the left arm is severed!

！！

A great fear came from the depths of the body, and instantly enveloped the entire body of the Zodiac Seat!

“… What?! ”

Warm blood splattered on his face, and his pupils contracted violently, and he turned his head to look at his side in surprise.

This faint vindictive... Why?!

Then the core exerted force, and quickly jumped back in mid-air.

Smack.

He landed on the roof of the same row not far from Tanjuro's side.

Holding his bleeding left arm, he straightened up, raised his eyes, and looked at Tanjuro in disbelief.

Poof!

The severed part of the left arm tensed hard, and the new arm suddenly re-emerged.

He raised his arm and pointed at Tanjuro:

"You guy..."

Then.

The voice of the Zodiac suddenly froze, and his pupils constricted.

in his field of vision.

Tanjuro swung his sword, blood vibrating, and looked sideways.

The fighting spirit on his body gradually disappeared until he could not detect it at all.

You can see it.

But in the blood ghost art that belongs to the Zodiac Seat, the compass that fights by sensing the enemy's fighting spirit.

Ahead, there was nothing.

……

……

The edge of the castle town.

Under the tree.

The crow with a rosary on its head fluttered its wings and landed on the treetops, its tone was calm and heavy, and it turned its head to look behind it.

"This is it..."

Grief Mingyu went in the direction of the wind and dust coming from the collapse of houses on the street.

"Stay here..."

He held the chain of the Meteor Hammer, and his white eyes stared at the tea pill in his arms.

He picked up a rope from the ground and tied the angry Chacha Pill to the tree.

The broad palm rubbed its head, then stood up and began to run with all its might towards the place where it had just made a sound.

Bang bang bang!

Looking at the distant back of Sorrowful Mingyu, Chacha Pill stood for a while.

Soon.

Wait until the sorrowful island completely disappears from view.

"Meow!!" It shrank its head back and shook its head, its paws struggling.

Orcs will never be slaves!

……

……

In the trance-like vision of the Nest Seat, the man was indeed standing there.

He was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, and his brow furrowed vigorously.

- How could it be...

His pupils shrank, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

In perception, there is nothing on the other side!

- The fighting spirit on that guy is gone!

For hundreds of years, there has never been a human being who has not had a vindictive spirit.

Nest looked surprised.

No, even as long as it is a living creature, there will be vindictiveness.

But this guy-

If he hadn't seen it clearly with his eyes, he would have thought that what he was standing there was just a dead thing that suddenly appeared, like a clay sculpture!

Moreover, the moment he made contact, he had no defense.

It's like a tree on the side of the road.

Normal people are not wary of trees on the side of the road.

- This is the first time I feel like this.

His eyes widened, and he glanced sideways behind him, then withdrew his gaze to focus on Tanjuro.

Seeing the blackened knife in the other party's hand, he vaguely had an idea in his heart that he couldn't believe.

He had always felt that way in his heart.

[Supreme Domain]

That's a situation I've been pursuing for hundreds of years, but I haven't reached it yet.

Unconvinced eyes looked at Tanjuro.

Trample.

"I'm the second of the Wo Seats, the second of the wind."

The eyes of the Zodiac gradually changed from doubt to excitement, and he put on a posture of destruction and killing, and raised his feet slightly:

"I take back the preface, you seem to be very interesting."

Bang!

With a hard step under his feet, the empty firewood house completely collapsed, and the sawdust mixed with dust and mist swept the streets!

【Destruction Kill: Needle】

A pale glow lit up in the dust mist, and snowflake-like lines spread from the foot of the nest.

Whoosh –

With a kick under his feet, he violently broke through the dust mist, and a wisp of white smoke dragged behind him, rushing straight in the direction of Tanjuro!

The fists are clenched, the corners of the mouth are hooked, the body soars in the air, and the strength of the whole body gathers in the arms.

After officially turning on the compass, his perception of vindictive energy became more acute.

And in this way, it also convinced the nest.

Swish!

He clenched his fists, and the afterimage suddenly appeared on Tanjuro's side, his upper body slightly contracted and accumulated.

Bang!

Punch straight out!

Didn't hit!

The feeling of empty waving came from his hand, and his eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth rose, and he straightened up with great excitement.

In front of him, Tanjuro's figure had disappeared.

And without the tracking of the vindictive spirit, there is no way for the other party to know the location of the other party.

Looking at the dark, empty surroundings, he shouted:

"This is it!"

His eyes were blazing, his hands were spread out, and the excitement of hundreds of years of pursuing a sudden witness made his mood swings peak:

"The Supreme Realm! The realm of selflessness! ”

At this moment, his heart is a little complicated.

On the one hand, it is the unwillingness to be overtaken by humans, and on the other hand, it is the excitement of eagerness.

Suddenly.

"That's it! I understand! As if he had thought of something, he looked around and stretched out his hand and shouted:

"It's you!"

"Kill the guy on the first one!"

"Take advantage of this situation and defeat that guy!"

If that's the case, then it means -

The look of excitement in the eyes of the Zodiac became more and more obvious.

When he reaches the supreme realm, he can also have the strength to defeat the first wind!

Yes, since a human being who has only lived for a few decades can arrive, why can't he, who is already on the wind?!

Emotional, he couldn't help shouting from the bottom of his heart:

"Hey! What's your name?! ”

"Become a ghost!"

Smack.

He clenched his fists and looked around with a godly gaze, always vigilant for Tanjuro to burst out from any corner:

"In this way, I don't have to tie my hands and feet, I won't get hurt, and I can fight to my heart's content!"

In the battle with this person, you may be able to comprehend it and reach that realm!

I can't detect the guy's location now, but when I also reach the Supreme Realm.

In the same situation, you can use the same feelings to judge the actions of the other party!

Then.

"It's better to be a ghost than to become a ghost..."

Tanjuro stepped out of the street, his hand behind his back, and pulled out a tube of sparkling green liquid.

Looking up at the Yakuza standing on the roof:

"How about you become human."

Hear the words.

“… What are you talking about. ”

Looking down at the street, he chuckled softly and put his hand on his chest:

"I'm a ghost, how can I become a human?"

"Then it can't be helped." Tanjuro nodded abruptly.

He put away the potion he had taken out, it was a precious thing.

Negotiations failed.

I'm sorry, but Tanjuro doesn't try to persuade people very much, except for his family.

Click.

With his hand on the hilt of Wedgemaru's sword, he slowly retreated until he entered the shadows of the house.

Swish!

Turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.

Looked at.

Vigilant, he looked around.

Suddenly, his eyes moved, and he looked sharply at the dark corner:

"Is it there?!"

Clench your fists.

[Sabotage Kill: Empty Type]!

Bang! Bang!

Two streaks of air that were extremely compressed by the power of the fist suddenly sent towards the corner like cannonballs!

The next moment.

"Meow!"

The frightened Chacha Pill popped out of the corner, and it narrowly brushed the air that swept by.

But the backpack on his back suffered, and the strap suddenly collapsed, and a tube of pink liquid inside suddenly fell off.

Smack!

A crisp sound sounded, and the glass test tube shattered to the ground, exposing the liquid wrapped in cherry blossoms to the air.

Yikes!

The liquid quickly evaporates into a wisp of mist!

watched Chachamaru jump around in a panic, and finally crawled into the alley in a panic again.

“… Cats. ”

Yiwoza frowned, and withdrew his eyes suspiciously:

"Hey! It's not fun to hide around like this! ”

Clenched his fists, his muscles tensed and forced, and he seemed to have a whole body of anger that wanted to vent:

"Come out and fight me!"

At the moment when the end of his sentence fell.

"Boom ——!!"

Golden thunder suddenly appeared from the sky, and suddenly lit up from behind the Nest, instantly illuminating everything around him!

With his back to the lit thunder, he looked at the suddenly obvious shadow in front of him and was stunned for a moment.

Surprised, he turned his head to look behind him.
