Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing
Page 156
With the sword hanging at his waist, Yuan Qing also shook his head.
“Those elders don’t agree to officially break ties with the Collectors Association. The Genji are not what they used to be. They have to be mindful of others’ opinions when they do things. The Collectors Association is backed by the Mitarai and Hououin families. They are not so easy to mess with.”
"Father shouldn't have gotten involved with the extraordinary. The mess left by the Dongwen Society isn't so easy to meddle in. I warned him before, but he stubbornly refused to listen."
"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now."
"I came here alone without permission, and I even brought the [Knee Cutter] with me. If the elders of the main family find out about this, I'll probably be expelled from the family."
"But it doesn't matter."
“I had no intention of going back to Kyoto. If I die this time, it will be a worthy death, and I will have done right by my father’s sacrifices for me. If I survive, I will stay in Tokyo and reorganize the Yuanhui. I cannot let my father’s hard work go to waste.”
"After all, we all bear the surname of the Minamoto clan. If we succeed, the main family won't say much. If we fail, we won't have the chance to be subservient to others anymore."
"so."
"With no ties left, let's go all in."
Yuan Qing also lowered her eyes, and from an angle that Yuan Hongshu couldn't see, a somewhat ferocious expression quietly appeared on her face.
"A blood debt must be repaid with blood."
"That Uesugi must die!"
Chapter 184 My Turn
Uesugi-kun, who was supposed to die, slept in late for once, only getting up leisurely around 8 o'clock.
He spent half the night last night studying that diary in the Mirage Tower after midnight, but unfortunately he came up with nothing.
No matter how much he pleaded and begged, he wouldn't see any of the subsequent content.
Helpless, he fell into a deep sleep, only to wake up naturally to the sound of rain. After washing up, he ate a sumptuous breakfast with two beautiful girls by his side. Just as he was wondering if his life had become too decadent lately, the phone rang at just the right moment.
After glancing at the caller ID, Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't answer the call. Instead, he straightened his clothes, walked to the door, put on his special riding boots, and casually took down a standard katana hanging on the wall and slung it at his waist.
"I'm going out, Rin. Take good care of Kyoko."
Kazumi Rin waved casually, probably because she was eating her fifth bowl of rice and didn't have time to pay attention to Uesugi Kiyoshi, and it was unclear whether she was even listening.
Uesugi Kiyoshi wasn't wrong. At this critical juncture, even the headquarters of the Collectors Association might not be safe. Only this junior sister was someone who could be absolutely trusted, and whose combat skills were up to par, someone who could be relied upon.
Kiyoshi Uesugi was not surprised by Izumi Rin's response. This violent beauty had always been like this, loving food more than her own father, and you couldn't expect her to listen to anything else while eating.
He took the glasses from Kyoko Nohara, put them on his nose, and a gentle smile appeared on his somewhat scholarly face.
"I have something to do at noon, I'll be back in the evening."
Then, to Kyoko Nohara's soft "Be careful on the road," he stepped out of the house.
Although Nohara Kyoko's expression remained unchanged, she was actually somewhat worried inside.
She could tell that Uesugi Kiyoshi was most likely heading to a battle.
She wasn't some clueless, stupid woman. Along the way, Uesugi Kiyoshi had killed and vanquished demons, and there was rarely a time when he avoided her.
Surrounded by Uesugi Kiyoshi, she was fearless of ghosts and evil people, living a carefree life. However, every time she saw her beloved with a calm smile, carrying his sword and heading to the battlefield, her heart would inexplicably clench, and this unease would only disappear when she saw him return safely.
What she feared was that one day, Uesugi Kiyoshi would not be able to come back.
Just like when your parents suddenly don't get out of bed one day.
She didn't know what would happen next, nor did she dare to think about it.
She closed the door, her bangs obscuring her eyes, and after a long while, a soft sigh escaped her lips.
"I wish I could help Uesugi-kun."
"Just like Rin."
She turned to look at Izumi Rin's retreating figure, her eyes filled with envy.
An unusual seed quietly sprouted in the heart of the little white rabbit in the wilderness.
As expected, Uesugi Kiyoshi saw Kudo Yuichi in the lobby on the first floor. The two exchanged glances, greeted each other, and bantered a few times as usual before getting into a black car side by side.
Kudo Yuichi sat in the driver's seat, while the other seats were empty.
Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned slightly and said, "Hey, you're not even bringing a driver? Isn't that a bit too obvious?"
His point was that he was afraid of alerting others by making such a simple trip.
Yuichi Kudo started the car nonchalantly and shook his head.
"We weren't planning on playing dirty tricks at all. This is an open strategy. Take it or leave it. If you don't come, you won't have such a good opportunity next time."
"Think about it, the culprits who crushed the Yuan Society are finally gathered together, without any help. Isn't this a golden opportunity? Even if they know it's a trap, Yuan Qing will still fall for it—as far as I know, that person is arrogant and overconfident in his strength; he won't be afraid of an ambush."
"News just came from Kyoto: Minamoto no Haru has also fallen out with the Genji clan elders, parted ways, stolen a fine sword, and is heading back to Tokyo alone to avenge his father. Do you think someone like that can let such an opportunity slip away?"
"Most swordsmen are opportunists."
Uesugi Kiyoshi could be considered an "opportunist" when using a sword, but he didn't completely agree with this view. However, seeing Kudo Yuichi's certainty, he didn't want to refute it. He just pursed his lips and didn't respond.
Yuan Qingye was not the only one who relied on his own strength.
Uesugi Kiyoshi is currently satisfied with his own strength.
In this life, he was an absolute swordsmanship genius.
What is a genius like?
If you get 60 points and he gets 90 points, that's not called being a genius, that's called being an excellent peer.
The kind of genius is someone who doesn't study regularly, flips through a few pages of a book before the exam, hands in their paper half an hour early, and leaves, yet still gets a perfect score.
In the art of swordsmanship, regardless of extraordinary strength, only his master can currently suppress him with sword skills.
With each bloody battle and life-or-death struggle against ghosts, his understanding of swordsmanship deepened. Coupled with the blessing of a clear and tranquil mind, he was fearless and rarely made a mistake when he unleashed his sword.
With the skills acquired, the Hundred Demons Scroll can also help him complete the remaining power.
Therefore, he really didn't take that Yuan Qing to heart.
The car drove slowly and quietly towards Bunkyo Ward without exchanging a word.
Kudo Yuichi deliberately took a roundabout route, going to a somewhat remote place. There were hardly any people there to begin with, and with the torrential rain, Tokyo, which was usually bustling with activity, was eerily quiet, like a ghost town.
Just as several roadblocks appeared in the road ahead, Kudo Yuichi smiled excitedly.
"coming."
“I guess they would choose this place too. The roads are narrow, making it easy to force them to stop. The surrounding road conditions are complicated, making it difficult to escape. There aren’t many people here yet, so they have plenty of time to carry out the assassination.”
"Hey, Qing, get to work!"
"I'm counting on you for everything!"
The car slowly came to a stop, and Uesugi Kiyoshi got out without saying a word. He tapped the tsuba (handguard) with his thumb, drawing his katana three-tenths of its length from its sheath, and gripped the hilt with his other hand.
It sounds a bit mystical, but ever since he stepped into the extraordinary realm, he has truly been able to sense "killing intent" and "killing aura".
It was an ominous sign that inexplicably arose in my heart, foreshadowing danger and calamity.
as predicted.
Half a second later, in a split second of sensing something, Uesugi Kiyoshi drew his sword.
A dull and muffled metallic clang rang out, and mirage spread across the blade, enhancing its strength. A flash of fire disappeared in an instant, and a large-caliber sniper bullet was cleaved in two with lightning speed. A small explosion boomed in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi, and the rain within a radius of several meters paused slightly.
With a crisp clang, the charred bullet, split in two, fell to the ground and was submerged by the rain.
After everything had settled down, a barely audible gunshot rang out.
It was a sniper's kill.
In the blink of an eye, the slash was faster than the sound of a bird.
Not long ago, facing a large-caliber sniper rifle, Uesugi Kiyoshi had half his body smashed by bullets and only managed to survive thanks to the Hyakumonogatari.
Now, with complete concentration, he can slice through an incoming sniper bullet with a single strike.
His growth rate has already surpassed that of most extraordinary individuals in the world.
"Is that all the Genkai knows? How boring."
Uesugi Kiyoshi is now worried about leaving Kudo Yuichi alone here to go and take down the sniper, so he chooses to avoid the limelight for the time being.
He had already spotted the sniper's position in the distance, so he opened the car door, pulled Kudo Yuichi out, and prepared to move to a different location.
He hadn't walked more than a few steps, barely avoiding the sniper's angle, when he noticed that Kudo Yuichi's smile was a little strange.
After looking at him questioningly, Kudo Yuichi smiled and said, "The car is bulletproof, but it can't stop those large-caliber armor-piercing bullets."
"This shot can kill, and smashing a car body is as easy as a pencil piercing a piece of paper, but it's extremely difficult to snipe a superhuman. Their goal is probably to lure us out."
Before he could finish speaking, a flurry of footsteps sounded.
Dozens of gunmen dressed in black raincoats swarmed out from the streets and alleys.
Pistols, submachine guns, automatic rifles.
These remaining assassins from the Source Society pulled the trigger without the slightest hesitation.
The gunfire was more intense than the rain, and the bullets were more rapid than raindrops.
Kudo Yuichi's smile seemed to say, "Just as I thought."
This level of firepower would be difficult even for superhumans to handle.
Uesugi Kiyoshi had no time to change his expression.
He raised an eyebrow and, without hesitation, held his sword upright in front of his chest. With his left hand, he touched the blade with his sword finger, and a wisp of mirage energy lingered around it. Then, it rapidly expanded and transformed into a ghost fire, which exploded and countless sparks swept in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.
Behind him, the phantom of a god with a dog's head and a human body appeared and disappeared.
A barrier of will-o'-the-wisps and mirages stood before him.
The Inugami Scroll contains three sword techniques.
Cut off the heart to cut off the heart, cut off evil to cut off evil; these are all deadly moves with unique effects.
"Guardian" is a rare defensive sword style.
No, it's less a sword technique and more an obsession within the hearts of monsters like the "Inugami," a unique skill for controlling mirage energy.
