Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

With a flick of his sword, he easily changed his move, and the countless tiny snakes were all drawn into a ball of silvery-white sword light, where they were all torn to pieces.

The woman in the suit let out a scream as a deep, bone-revealing gash was slashed across her abdomen.

Her eyes were bloodshot, her teeth were clenched, becoming fine and sharp, and she looked around. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Not far away, a big girl and a little girl were leaning on the river railing, holding an umbrella and watching the rushing river.

In desperation, the woman in the suit, grasping at straws, let out a shrill howl, and more small purple snakes crawled out of her clothes, all attacking the two little girls, one big and one small, not far away.

In her mind, the young man in front of her was a policeman, perhaps even the kind of policeman who specializes in handling extraordinary matters.

He wouldn't just stand by and watch civilians be killed in front of him, would he?

Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes darted around, and he exchanged a glance with the two little girls, who were looking at him with astonished expressions.

He sighed inwardly, knowing it was too late to get there. With a wave of his hand, a hazy mirage poured out from his body.

The mirage coalesced into a somewhat frighteningly withered arm, which held a sharp blade that gleamed with a cold light.

The demon hand appeared, and the demon cleaver danced, like a running meat grinder, blocking all the small snakes that rushed towards it.

But in the blink of an eye, the woman in the suit plunged into the desolate river and disappeared after a few undulations.

Uesugi Kiyoshi sheathed his sword, his expression blank, showing no sign of anger or happiness.

At this moment, Narumi Shingo finally arrived late. He first glanced at the little girls not far away, somewhat surprised, but seeing the mess in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi, he went over and asked, "What happened?"

Just then, the engine roared and brakes screech. Kudo Yuichi jumped out of a car and stood next to Uesugi Kiyoshi. He looked around at the small snakes that were still wriggling, as if they weren't quite dead yet, and then at the churning river in front of him. His gaze was deep, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Uesugi Kiyoshi, on the other hand, shrugged rather nonchalantly.

"She got away. Her initial goal was to go into the water, Yuichi. We should have realized that her accomplice is a fish-man, and she might even be one too. Once a fish is in the water, it's not so easy to catch it."

Kudo Yuichi also sighed.

"Tsk, it's my fault, I was too smug."

"That was too hasty."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression finally changed. He nodded seriously, looking at Kudo Yuichi with a reproachful expression, as if to say, "This is all your responsibility."

"It's not a fish-man, it's a snake."

"Yes, it was hasty. I didn't expect that either."

"But you'll have to take the main blame. The renowned 'detective' of the Collectors' Association was actually tricked by this kind of thing. How embarrassing!"

Seeing that Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed to be getting into it, Kudo Yuichi's face fell and he rolled his eyes.

"Alright, alright, that's enough."

"Stop pretending."

"I saw you pat that woman on the shoulder with my own eyes, and you were holding a [visor] between your fingers. I gave you that thing. I'm not blind, I can see right through it."

"You had a backup plan all along, leaving a mark on her, didn't you?"

"Hmph, maybe you let him go on purpose."

Narumi Shingo was somewhat confused.

What is a "microparticle"?

He thought of it and asked it.

Yuichi Kudo waved his hand and explained, "It's the standard equipment of the Collectors Association. It's a nano-level tracking material that can be injected into large creatures like humans without them noticing. With that thing, the location of the creature that was pierced by the piercing needle will be displayed on a professional tracking instrument."

"Waterproof, fireproof, corrosion resistant, expensive to manufacture, but of top quality."

"Qing, am I right?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi stopped acting and nodded slightly.

"Yes, that's right. It's not just you who wants to follow the clues. I had the opportunity to get in touch with her, so I used my methods."

"Perfect timing. These drones filling the sky will also attract her attention. Once she's on her guard, she probably won't easily return to her lair."

"Now, hey."

"Having escaped capture, like a fish returning to the sea, she was [free].

"Then she probably won't have too many concerns, right?"

Narumi Shingo glanced at Kudo Yuichi, then at Uesugi Kiyoshi, blinked, and sighed inwardly.

He hadn't considered all these twists and turns.

When it comes to scheming and plotting, humans are more adept.

Narumi Shingo sighed inwardly, still feeling somewhat uneasy.

He turned around and exchanged a glance with the big little girl on the shore.

The big loli nodded and slightly moved her fingers.

In the surging, desolate river, the silhouette of a giant fish-like creature flashed by and disappeared into the waves.

Um.

It is probably larger than an adult shark.

Chapter 175 Poison Fang

Kudo Yuichi pursed his lips, too lazy to argue with Uesugi Kiyoshi. He walked to the riverbank, squatted down, picked up a small stick, and started poking at the snake carcass on the ground.

This is a tiny purple snake. Though small, it has all the vital organs. It doesn't look like an energy body conjured by some kind of "ability," but rather a real, living creature.

On the cross-section of the snake's body, severed by Uesugi Kiyoshi's sword, were clearly visible the snake's internal organs, bloody and somewhat disgusting.

The roar of engines could be heard from not far away. Ueno Mitsuishi and the field staff of the Collectors Association arrived one after another, though they were a little late.

Many people in white raincoats got out of their cars and rushed to the scene to carefully collect the snake carcass.

Kudo Yuichi clicked his tongue and asked, "Where did this thing come from? Did she summon it?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head.

"No, she spat it out of her mouth."

"Hmm, it doesn't seem like magic, it's more like... she kept a snake inside this body."

Do you recognize what this is?

The next second, the small snake on the ground, now only half-eaten, suddenly gleamed with a cold light in its eyes, as if it had suddenly come to life. It sprang forward and shot towards Kudo Yuichi, its venomous fangs flashing coldly, sending chills down one's spine.

Uesugi Kiyoshi reacted extremely quickly, his fingers flashing out and precisely pinching the snake's vital spot, crushing it flat.

"Be careful"

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed indifferently and casually tossed the completely dead snake corpse onto the ground.

"A dead creature that can still bite?"

"Well, if it's a snake, that's not surprising."

"Jormungandr is a serpent. The prototype of Hydra is debated. Some say it is the incarnation of the nine-headed serpent, some say it is the mother goddess of the Deep Ones, a giant arthropod, and some say it is the Thousand-Faced Moon, an evil creature that devours the brains and souls of living beings."

"This outer god is extremely difficult to fathom, and he is always somewhat related to snakes."

Kudo Yuichi did not panic. As if he was certain that Uesugi Kiyoshi would not hurt him, he stood up, muttered a few words, and stared at the Arakawa River in a daze.

"The snake may be their totem."

"This is not good. The visitor is up to no good."

"Qing, I even suspect they have the support of certain financial groups and political parties. You tell me, it's inexplicable, how could this woman find that idiot Yamamoto to cooperate with?"

"Don't underestimate Yamamoto just because he's not a big deal. He's still a direct descendant of the Yamamoto family. Ordinary small sects can't find him."

"I feel that old fox from the Yamamoto family is acting strangely. He suddenly launched a high-profile attack on my old man, which is not his style at all. It's too hasty. And that even more outrageous marriage alliance. This time, I also wanted to test him by taking action against that stupid pig. After all, Yamamoto Ryosuke is the best breakthrough point for the Yamamoto family."

Kudo Yuichi smiled helplessly as he looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's indifferent expression, showing no interest whatsoever.

"Alright, alright, I'll take care of these things. I won't bother you anymore. But if I need your help..."

Uesugi Seiichi waved his hand, interrupting Kudo Yuichi.

"Speak only when you need me—I'm not interested in your partisan politics."

"I'd rather practice my sword skills more."

"How's it going at headquarters? Has the tracking been effective?"

Kudo Yu nodded and said, "It's working. I just received the news that she's moving rapidly towards the estuary along the Arakawa River. Don't worry, she won't get lost."

"Satellite positioning and drone tracking are not enough. I'll send out those deep-sea probes as well."

"."

"That would be good to get this sorted out quickly. All this fighting and killing every day is making me miss my ordinary high school life."

"A few days ago, the head of the teaching department called and urged me to go back to class, but I declined. If Akutagawa hadn't pushed these things onto me, I might have agreed."

"By the way, are you going to apply to the University of Tokyo? Do you have connections? You're old enough to take the exam? Don't you have to wait until you graduate high school?"

"How about you take me with you?"

They've already started chatting.

On the other side, a sudden change occurred.

Narumi Shingo listened with great interest to Uesugi Kiyoshi and Kudo Yuichi's conversation, while Ueno Mitsuishi hurriedly went to the side of the two little girls.

That was Narumi Shingo's younger sister, Nobuna, playing by the river with Ueno Usagi, the granddaughter of the Ueno family.

In a sense, Narumi Nobuna can also be considered the "Lord of Arakawa". She has her companion "pet" in this river, and she is not afraid that Ueno Hare will encounter any dangers in the river.

Even though her demonic power is weak in the Arakawa River, with the help of "Kai-ko-maru", she is not afraid of ordinary demons and monsters.

Just as Ueno Mitsuishi was whispering to Ueno Usagi, telling Narumi Nobuna to take her home quickly.

The bodies of several small purple snakes on the ground writhed unnaturally, then their eyes flashed with a cold light, and they bared their fangs, wanting to bite the two little girls without a second thought.

Narumi Nobuna's expression changed, and she slightly raised her finger, but the demonic power she could use now was really weak. The power she originally had to control the raging waves could now only create a small ripple.

But someone reacted faster than her.
