Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

Although Ueno Mitsuishi had limited talent and had reached the end of his swordsmanship, making further progress difficult, he was still a seasoned swordsman.

He has been practicing swordsmanship for decades, and some instinctive reactions come naturally to him.

Step back, turn around, draw your sword, and slash!

Flowing clouds and flowing water, all in one go.

Unfortunately, he is getting old.

He intercepted the corpses of seven or eight small snakes, but one escaped and relentlessly attacked Ueno Usagi.

Ueno Mitsuishi's expression changed. He suddenly burst out with strength from who-knows-where, and retreated sharply. In his haste, he stretched out his hand and blocked the snake's sharp teeth.

In the blink of an eye, he was injured. When Uesugi Kiyoshi saw what had happened, he rushed over, and the people in white raincoats also carefully sped up the containment process.

Even extraordinary individuals can be affected. So if ordinary people encounter such a small snake, they would probably have little chance of fighting back.

"Are you alright, Ueno-senpai?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi spoke with concern. He had received a lot of care from this elder these past few days, and seeing him injured naturally made him worried.

The snake fang marks on the wound had turned black and purple, and no blood was flowing out. The muscles and skin were swollen and looked rather frightening.

"Quickly! The medical team is here for emergency treatment. Load them into the vehicle and send them back to headquarters. Those who truly know the ways have a way to deal with these toxins; they are experts."

"Stop dawdling! You brought serum, right? Hurry up and inject it, let it hold for a while, and get moving!"

Kudo Yuichi remained calm and issued orders methodically. Soon, several people in white raincoats arrived with a stretcher. They skillfully helped the somewhat weak and dizzy Ueno Mitsuishi onto the stretcher and quickly moved him to the vehicle.

Those present could only watch as the professionals provided first aid, their faces grave, but there was nothing they could do.

Narumi Shingo's face darkened further, and his knuckles unconsciously turned white as he gripped his sword, seemingly trying his best to suppress his anger.

The chubby little girl, Ueno, was completely taken aback by the sudden turn of events. It wasn't until she saw her grandfather being lifted onto a stretcher that she realized what had happened and burst into tears.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at Kudo Yuichi, who nodded knowingly and said, "Don't worry, it's alright."

"Snake venom isn't too difficult to deal with. Senior Ueno will only suffer a little. We've encountered quite a few strange and supernatural things related to snakes. Those who truly understand them have at least a dozen treatment plans. Although they are all irrational mad scientists, they are still capable people."

Hearing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi finally felt a little relieved.

If something happened to Ueno Mitsuishi right under his nose, he would definitely blame himself and feel guilty.

He had confidently assured Ryunosuke Akutagawa, "With me here, nothing will happen," but now things have turned out this way, and he can't face Akutagawa.

Fortunately, things didn't get that bad.

Uesugi breathed a sigh of relief, bent down slightly, looked directly at Ueno Usagi's cute little face, and gently patted her head, using the ultimate technique for coaxing children—the head pat.

He had just overheard Ueno Mitsuishi's words to his granddaughter and, knowing that it was the two of them, he offered his words of comfort.

"Don't worry, your grandfather is fine. It's just a minor injury, and the doctor will heal him quickly."

Ueno Usagi glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi with teary eyes. Perhaps his handsome face won the little girl's favor, and her crying gradually subsided.

"Big brother, are you telling the truth?"

Ueno Usagi was just a junior high school student, and crying was her instinct when faced with such a situation.

But when someone told her things weren't so bad, she naturally believed them.

This older brother is handsome, has a gentle smile, and came with his grandfather. He probably isn't lying to me.

That's what she thought.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's smile became even gentler and warmer.

"Yes, your grandfather is so powerful, he wouldn't be defeated by a small snake."

"I promise, your grandfather will be alright."

"It's alright this time, and it will be alright in the future. I'm your grandfather's companion, and I will definitely ensure his safety."

The scene of Uesugi Kiyoshi fighting the "monster" and slashing countless small snakes with his sword has been witnessed by both the little girls.

His image was very lofty in Ueno's mind—he was a "strongman," or rather, a "hero."

Children of this age, regardless of gender, admire heroes.

Ueno hurriedly wiped away her tears, stared with red eyes, timidly stretched out her little hand, and bent her little finger.

Uesugi Kiyoshi immediately understood and smiled as he extended his hand as well.

Two hands, one big and one small, were hooked together.

"Then, big brother, I'm entrusting Grandpa to you."

Ueno Usagi spoke solemnly and earnestly.

After receiving the promise, the tears that had been streaming down her face vanished instantly.

"So, it's a pinky promise!"

"A child who lies will have to swallow a thousand needles!"

Beneath the childish voice, Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression was serious.

He will learn from this careless mistake.

I will never make the same mistake twice.

Epilogue of Volume 2

Well, this is a long-awaited summary, which can be considered the closing remarks of Volume Two.

When I finished writing Volume 2, I was busy with work and my grades were bad, so I wasn't in the mood to write. I used to really enjoy writing personal statements, but I stopped doing that too.

Today I pulled a new waifu in Onmyoji. I pulled 150 times and forced her into marriage. I've used up all my resources and I'm a bit frustrated. I'm going to skip the main story and just write this instead.

The first volume describes the protagonist's journey to transcendence. In the second volume, Uesugi Kiyoshi makes several friends, defeats several demons and gods, and unlocks a few more scrolls of the Hundred Demons Scroll. His strength increases, and some foreshadowing of his cheat ability is revealed. At the same time, he reaches an agreement with certain forces and gains their support.

He has gained deeper exposure to another world and has established himself in Tokyo. He is no longer the lone swordsman who faced ghosts and gods alone.

As for why I wrote about gangsters, it's because in Japan, if you want to start from scratch, gangsters are the most suitable option. It's a pipe dream for other industries to try to do that. Monopolies are quite prevalent in various industries in Japan, making it difficult to accommodate newcomers with no connections.

At the same time, gangs are also a good place for "believers" to develop.

We'll find out what's in the third volume in the endnotes.

That concludes the summary. Now it's time for some sob stories, overflowing with negativity. You can still click away now.

This book's performance was really just average, which I expected, since it's not a good book to follow.

The initial order was over 500, the average order was over 800, and currently there are about 300 follow-up orders. The highest order is about 1200. That's about it.

It's so terrible, those who know, know.

With a subscription-to-receiver ratio of 50 to 1, to be honest, some companies that inflate their data have higher subscription-to-receiver ratios than mine. I anticipated that the show would flop, but I didn't expect it to flop so badly.

Making money is out of the question. I'm not bragging, but if I used the time I would spend writing books to work overtime, I could earn several times more than this.

I'm just writing this out of love now. I don't want my first book on Qidian to be rejected, so I'll grit my teeth and finish it.

On the day the book was released, I excitedly created a fan group, but after the initial subscription data came out, I quietly disbanded it. I guess with this kind of success, there was no need for the fan group to exist.

In short, as I said, the book's performance hasn't been so bad that I find it unacceptable. Because my expectations weren't high to begin with, I can persevere. The main storyline of the book will remain unchanged. I'll follow the outline and cut out some overly long subplots. Anyway, quite a few people have complained that I'm wordy, so I'll try to speed up the pace.

Well, adding more is unlikely; I don't have much motivation. I can still manage to write around 5,000 words a day. I wrote 150,000 this month, which isn't a small amount.

The book does have various problems, and I've read everyone's comments. But since the book is already like this, it's too late to say anything now. I will definitely learn from this experience and hopefully do better with the next book.

If there is a next book.

that's all.

P.S. Asking for subscriptions here is pointless, and asking for donations is also out of the question, I don't deserve it. But I do have various free tickets. If you don't have any books you like to vote for, why not give me a couple? They're just going to go to waste if I don't use them anyway.

Chapter 176 Murderous Intent

The black sedan sped along the main road, but not very fast.

The flooding in Tokyo was severe. Even though Tokyo's sewer system is one of the best in the world, this rain clearly crossed a certain warning line.

Kudo Yuichi sat in the passenger seat, fiddling with his phone from the beginning. From his expression, Sugikiyoshi could tell he was up to no good, probably plotting against some young master of the Yamamoto family.

He sat in the back seat, with a well-behaved little girl sitting next to him.

After what happened in Arakawa, Uesugi Kiyoshi was naturally worried about Ueno going home alone, even though the swordsman who was suspected to be the lord of Arakawa hinted that they could protect Ueno's safety.

Because of his carelessness, Ueno Mitsuishi has already been injured. If he can't take good care of his granddaughter, then Uesugi Kiyomasa will have no face to face him. Anyway, the Collectors Association is such a big place that it won't lack a place for a little girl. Besides, Ueno Mitsuishi is currently receiving emergency treatment, and Ueno Usagi is also very worried. It's better to let her wait for her grandfather's injuries to improve. Kudo Yuichi has already made that promise, so Ueno Mitsuishi is probably not in any danger.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, but his mind was racing with the events of the day.

He could have foreseen that there was a supernatural plot behind this unusual rain. To be honest, he initially thought that the Lord of Arakawa was quite suspicious.

However, since the Hundred Demons Scroll has already determined that the Lord of Arakawa has been reincarnated as a human and is hostile to that sect, his suspicion has been greatly reduced.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't know how ghosts, gods, and monsters turned into humans, but he had seen too many similar things.

Yingcao, Yaodaoji, Yukidouji, and Aoandon.

This was something he was already used to.

He just exchanged phone numbers with Narumi Shingo and mentioned his previous suggestion—to hire Narumi Shingo.

He didn't press too hard, and then he said goodbye to Kudo Yuichi and left.

The woman, as elusive as a snake, is still roaming the Arakawa River under the watchful eyes of the Collectors Association, and seems poised to visit Edogawa. Uesugi Kiyoshi is not in a hurry to close the net; this scare today will make it a slow and steady process for them to slip up.

However, this kind of evil sect in Arakawa Ward has been completely banned by Kudo Yuichi's orders. Unable to gather followers, they will inevitably resort to other means, which is the best opportunity to launch an attack.

On the other side, inside a police car with its lights blaring, Ryosuke Yamamoto angrily wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slammed his fist into the car door with a loud bang.

"Damn it! That brat from the Kudo family! He's gone too far!"

"Since he has collected evidence of what I did, this person cannot be allowed to live!"

Ryosuke Yamamoto's eyes flashed with murderous intent, clearly indicating that he intended to kill.

These are all minor matters. If Kudo Yuichi were to expose them, at most it would ruin his future, but it wouldn't shake the foundation of the Yamamoto family.

However, it is clear that this young master Yamamoto is not a selfless person. He would not hesitate to choose personal gain over the rise and fall of his family.

He could already imagine how miserable his fate would be if he were abandoned by his family.
