Haseki Dorou dropped the hoe on his shoulder heavily to the ground, producing a muffled "thud," then he looked past Uvogin and Ah Xin to Kuroro, Sharunaaku Ryuusei, and Pakunoda behind them and said, "I didn't expect it to be you three."
The young man, with silver hair shimmering under the sun, said, "Praise the sun."
"What's wrong? Didn't die last time, not reconciled? Still thinking of coming to die?"
Kuroro met Haseki Dorou's icy stare, acutely sensing the killing intent in the youth's tone. He swallowed hard, stepped forward, and respectfully saluted, saying, "Praise the sun."
"You misunderstood."
Kuroro bent his body, pointed at Uvogin and Ah Xin, then signaled Pakunoda to quietly drag Salasa aside, sincerely saying, "I want to ask you to thoroughly teach those two a lesson, just don't kill them, do as you please."
Uvogin and Ah Xin: "...."
A moment of surprise.
The former reacted immediately, erupting in rage, grabbed Kuroro's collar, and lifted him up, "What do you mean?"
Bolstering others' spirit and diminishing your own... "Kuroro, you damn dare to be a traitor?"
As for... the consequences of being a traitor... "The Cleanup Squad" has already given the answer... "Clang!"
Ah Xin said nothing, directly drew his sword... the rusted Samurai Sword scraping against the scabbard produced a teeth-gnashing screech... He held the sword with both hands, raised it level in front of him, its tip gleaming coldly, pointed at Kuroro....
Haseki Dorou raised an eyebrow, watching the scene calmly, his ear twitched at some point, hearing a Nenryoku deeply from within the church... the youth cast a sidelong glance at Kuroro, without visible movement, the hoe in his hand suddenly sliced through the air, sparking a flame as it moved, both slow and fast, accurately striking Ah Xin's Samurai Sword pointing at Kuroro.
"Clang—" A crisp sound was heard!
Ah Xin felt a great force traveling along the blade, his body still in shock, the flesh at the base of his thumb split instantly, spraying blood, and... the sword along with it was knocked out by Haseki Dorou's hoe!
[Flame Breathing·First Form·Unknown Fire!]
The sudden blow instantly froze the surrounding air!
The hoe wrapped in flames turned a circle and was once again carried on the youth's shoulder... Haseki Dorou stepped forward....
Already aware of the severity, Sharunaaku Ryuusei and Pakunoda retreated a step back with Salasa....
In an instant, only Uvogin was left stunned holding Kuroro, after coming to his senses released his collar with a serious expression, together collecting the sword with Ah Xin, faced Haseki Dorou, their twin pupils filled with intense fighting spirit!
"Old man, can you still hold a sword?"
"Told you, call me old man again, and I'll cut you!" Ah Xin, regardless of the blood overflowing from the base of his thumb, gripped the sword tightly, squinted watching Haseki Dorou... the silver-haired youth's previous flaming strike was so fast that he didn't even react, clearly... a formidable character!
"Be careful, his power... is very strong!"
"Haha... isn't that good?" Uvogin clenched his fist, a crisp "crack" sound echoed, he laughed heartily like a bear, then stepped forward aggressively, and swung a punch!
His black hair swirled violently: "My strength is also not weak!"
Saying this, his iron fists carried the fierce sound of wind, tearing through the air, heavily striking down!
Haseki Dorou judged in an instant just from the wind blowing his bangs against his forehead... the brute wearing a beast skin skirt in front of him truly had impressive strength!
It's a pity... [Normal] [Nen] differ in essence... the acupoints not opened, the body can't get "Nen" refined in a day!
Added to this Haseki Dorou had completely mastered [Full Concentration·Constant] thanks to Roy's gift, thus....
Even though Uvogin regarded Haseki Dorou as a thorny opponent and attacked with all his might, his iron fists hadn't yet traveled half the distance when Haseki Dorou lightly used a "Tiger Bite Fist," arriving later but catching ahead... struck the bone of the fist and sent him flying back!
"Hiss——" Flying in mid-air, pain chased behind... Uvogin winced, drawing a breath fiercely between bloodied teeth, and crashed into a nearby heap of rubbish, never before having been struck so pathetically in so many fights!
"Hahaha.... What a thrill!" Fists trembled... the knuckles wailed... adrenaline however showed no sign of diminishing.... as Uvogin got back up, a dazzling blade flashed past....
Just as Haseki Dorou sent Uvogin flying with a punch, his old strength hadn't dissipated and new strength hadn't arisen——Ah Xin keenly seized this opening, horizontally thrust his Samurai Sword beneath Haseki Dorou's armpit, aiming sharply at his heart, with a straight stab!
A gentle sound of whoosh!
"Ding!"
Initially it seemed the sword tip had struck a rock... despite reaching Haseki Dorou's chest, even exerting all of Ah Xin's strength didn't puncture Haseki Dorou's skin, not even touching his clothes, just dragged into a mud pool by an invisible power!
"What's damn thing is this?!"
Some born naturally to see "Sense," some cannot... among a group of young spiders, originally only Machi could see Sense, exactly because of this that led to Lianzi discovering she had a pair of enviably gorgeous eyes, subsequently… after Salasa died, introduced her to [Mist Forest Valley], to learn Nenryoku.
[Ten]: A technique wrapping "Nen" around the body.
The milky white Nen due to learning [Flame Breathing], seemed to have a tendency to faintly shift towards "fiery red"....
Haseki Dorou always guarded against Ah Xin, at the moment he drew his sword, he had already used [Ten] to shield his heart, blocking Ah Xin's blade!
The young man remained unfazed, just like in the original work, Uvogin alone challenging the mafia, despite bullets, guns, even RPGs hitting him, came through unscathed, directly stunning Salasa who was pulled aside by Sharunaaku Ryuusei and Pakunoda!
"Jinx... Ah Xin... Monster... he's a monster!"
No wonder little Kuroro doesn't let him come... No wonder Sharunaaku Ryuusei and Pakunoda remain silent... "You had known long before, right?!" Salasa realized suddenly, she stared blankly at Kuroro....
Kuroro lowered his head, silent,
A person teaching another can't teach, an event teaches itself in an instant.....
The boy with black hair yet uncombed back, just quietly stood aside, watched silently... Uvogin, Ah Xin, climb up, attack again, stab again, then... be beaten flying by Haseki Dorou... until...
The two collapsed on the ground, finally lacking strength, were grabbed by the head by Haseki Dorou, dragged towards the depths of the church,
Kuroro then said to Sharunaaku Ryuusei and Pakunoda: "Let her go,"
Took another look, followed Haseki Dorou straightforwardly....
"Can I not go?" Loosening her hand, Salasa jogged to catch up with Kuroro.
Sharunaaku Ryuusei and Pakunoda exchanged a glance.
The latter thrust her chest forward, said without turning back, "You can also choose not to go."
Moved her steps forward, caught up with Salasa...
Instantly the porridge shed was left with only Sharunaaku Ryuusei alone, facing those butlers like Zoldyck who could exchange blows evenly with Uvogin, involuntarily shrank his neck, shouted "Wait for me."
Slipped away hurriedly, chased after...
"Step... Step...." Footsteps echoed throughout the wide church square....
Ah Xin and Uvogin, left and right, dragged by Haseki Dorou, sketched two shallow drag marks on the ground....
The swordsman now loosely beaten unto a swollen pig-head, weapon lost, clothes torn, shamelessly revealing a tuft of chest hair, managed to move his throat faintly, hoarsely speaking: "Can I ask a question?"
"Regard it as granting me solace before I die."
"Speak."
"Why couldn't my sword cut you?"
"Because of Nen."
"Nen?"
"Yes."
"Hahaha... No wonder!" Uvogin tore at his ragged throat, laughed loudly, spewing a mouthful of blood as he did so, his body convulsed....
"Turns out I didn't lose to you, I lost to 'Nen'...."
