The woman in the bathrobe glared at the swordsman with hatred. She said Yairuo's name through gritted teeth. Every tone was filled with hatred.
Since the swordsman's back was facing them, no one could see his face clearly.
Was this the swordsman's name?
After the swordsman cut off the waterfall, the woman in the bathrobe seemed to be much weaker. She couldn't summon a new wave. Although she was stepping on a water column, it was just a smaller version.
The swordsman, who was as steady as Mount Tai, pondered for a while and said in a flat tone, "You're an amalgamation of the souls of the drowned in Edo. You've killed many creatures for hundreds of years. Why don't you stop?"
The woman in the bathrobe, who was called the souls of the drowned, walked on the waves. "Yairuo, how dare you criticize me?
I've lived before, and what are you? You're just something that lives in the thoughts of others. "
"You, a guy who has never lived or experienced life, what right do you have to criticize us?!"
The swordsman's name was Yairuo?
Miyoshi Shukishima looked at the swordsman's back in surprise. She couldn't be wrong. The ronin's clothes and the superb swordsmanship were the extraordinary beings called Red Guards in the files.
The culprit who caused the attack on the Seishōkai!
"Sister, what Red Guards …" Peng Mei put down her phone and stopped herself from saying her last words. "Do you know each other?"
Miyoshi Shukishima ignored her sister.
She knew him, but he didn't know her. From the name that the woman in the bathrobe said, their previous identity and information were completely wrong!
They couldn't even be considered acquaintances.
Since such a big thing had happened, the headquarters must have received the news.
Miyoshi Shukishima guessed that the headquarters would send a helicopter here soon.
As if the woman in the bathrobe had seen through her, Yairuo stood on the railing with a sword in her hand and didn't move.
The world fell into silence, and the dispersed fog seemed to be gathering again. The woman in the bathrobe showed a resentful expression, and her weakness was slowly recovering.
Miyoshi Shukishima couldn't help but want to run forward and shout, "Lord Yairuo, don't fall into their trap. The woman in the bathrobe is obviously trying to confuse you with words so that she can recover her strength."
However, thinking of the bathrobe goddess's unpredictable power, Peng Mei swallowed her words. She was afraid that the bathrobe goddess would kill her in a second if she opened her mouth.
"So, his name is Yuri Yoro …" Even though Kiyomi's life was hanging by a thread, her brain was still working habitually. She remembered hearing the name Yuri Yoro from somewhere.
The elusive swordsman had only appeared in a hurry on one night of the Dragon Society. However, based on their analysis, the headquarters believed that the swordsman wasn't very dangerous. Although he had a strong desire to kill, the swordsman's blade was filled with people who deserved to die. From another perspective, this kind of existence was just like the swordsman that the people talked about.
After a moment of stalemate, Bai He Ruo suddenly swung his blade, clenched the hilt, and made a standard gesture of an ancient sword. "You're right. I'm a person who only exists in everyone's thoughts, and I've never lived."
"However, I have no need for such rules and regulations when I do things and kill people. Since you aren't willing to lie down peacefully at the bottom of the river, then let me destroy you."
"Hmph, stubborn fool." Jixing Ku snorted coldly. "In your current state, how can you defeat me?!
Don't underestimate the power of the Edo River's hundreds of years of resentment!! "
With that, Jixing Ku let out a long howl.
A thick fog suddenly enveloped her body, and it quickly spread to the surroundings.
It was no longer a thick fog, but a white space that seemed to solidify. A normal person wouldn't be able to see their hand clearly even if they put it in front of their face.
The thick fog swept toward Bai He Ruo.
When she heard the name Jixing Ku, Kiyomi's mind instantly cleared up.
Before going to her sister's place to look for information, she had heard of the legend of Jixing Ku. After all, he was the most famous demon of the "Seven Unsiyi" in Tokyo. Everyone in Tokyo had more or less heard of the story of the Seven Unsiyi. It was an urban legend that had existed for hundreds of years. Honsocho was now part of Motian District, and it had been the name of Motian District during the Edo period.
Legend had it that Jixing Ku was a humanoid demon that appeared on foggy days, harming passersby.
As for its origin, later generations believed that it was because there were fishes, prawns, and frogs swimming in Edo's moat. The people who heard it vividly filled in the gaps in their imaginations. Coupled with the fact that it was difficult to see clearly on foggy days, they created a demon called "Jixing Ku."
But that twenty-meter tall wave just now, was that really Jixing Ku?
If the little demon Jixing Ku was already so terrifying, then what about the Dragon King in the sea?!
Suddenly, Jixing Ku's figure dashed out from the corner of the fog, holding a short knife in her hand.
Slashing with a white blade, killing in the mortal world!
Just as the short knife was about to pierce through, Bai He Ruo raised the long knife in her hand like a gust of wind, blocking Jixing Ku's knife.
Seeing that his attack had failed, Jixing Ku quickly jumped into the fog.
"Bang!"
"Bang!!"
In the thick fog, Jixing Ku jumped out again and again, continuously stabbing and slashing with his short knife. Bai He Ruo's long knife blocked in all directions, as if she were dancing with the long knife.
Sharp light enveloped her body, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.
At this time, Seimei Shukushima was dumbfounded. She felt that she had underestimated Bai He Ruo. With this swordsmanship, even if she used a heavy machine gun, she would still be able to block it.
Seeing that close-range attacks were useless, Jixing Ku jumped into the thick fog, no longer getting close. Instead, he spat out water bullets from the fog.
"Bang!!"
The long knife blocked the water bullets, causing them to explode.
Some of the stray bullets hit the embankments and roads, instantly creating small craters. If it had hit a person, they would have died on the spot.
"Bai He Ruo!!"
Jixing Ku's angry and humiliated voice came from the fog. "Why must you stop me!!"
The swordsman Bai He Ruo didn't say anything. She swung the long knife in her hand, her eyes filled with determination.
"Then die!!"
Seimei Shukushima vaguely heard the sound of an animal coming from the fog. No, she didn't know what animal it was.
"Roar!!"
A dragon, a dragon made of water, roared as it appeared from the fog. The dragon's head was ferocious, and its body was covered in scales. It had an aura that disdained everything!
The terrifying dragon suddenly spun out of the fog. The fog wrapped around its body, as if it were killing its way out of the clouds.
After being saved by Bai He Ruo, the onlookers had already recovered from their fear. But the moment they saw the water dragon, they fell into despair.
"Lord Bai He Ruo!
Do your best! "
Some people clenched their fists and cheered.
"Do your best!!"
"Do your best!!!"
"Lord Bai He Ruo, you mustn't lose!"
The water dragon attacked!
Bai He Ruo didn't retreat, but instead advanced. He used his long knife as a shield, and with a single stomp of his foot, he charged forward like a cannonball.
Red Dust was a killing sword!
