I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 173 Moonlight Dance and... Crescent Moon Sky Piercing!

After they finished scolding him, the two men finally saw Shangpu pinned to the ground with a long knife.

The man was now charred black all over, looking as if he had just crawled out of a furnace. Even his vocal cords were damaged. He was desperately stretching out his hands, enduring the excruciating pain of his flesh being torn apart by the blades, and calling for help in a hoarse voice.

"Tsk tsk... To be beaten like this by such a weak young man, what a disgrace, Shangpu!"

They seemed to still think it was Lan who had done it.

After all, Lan was currently grabbing Shangpu by the collar, looking like she was about to interrogate him.

But Shangpu struggled to raise a finger, pointing at Uchiha Hikaru behind him: "No...it's her...she's a Revolutionary Army...assassin..."

"Revolutionary Army?!"

This moment.

The expressions of the two men changed simultaneously.

They didn't care about Champ's life; after all, they were all just drifters who had wandered the world, brought together by Sheila, and had no real connection to each other. But...

If the person who severely injured Champo was an assassin from the Revolutionary Army, the nature of the matter would be completely different.

This is a great opportunity for them to prove their loyalty to Sheila!

"Ha, the assassins sent by the Revolutionary Army are so young? They really don't take us seriously."

"It's a girl, and she looks quite good... Try to capture her alive and present her to Lady Sheila; she should like her."

"..."

While the two men were whispering to each other.

Uchiha Hikaru stood quietly on the other side of the courtyard, watching their performance.

She recognized the two people by now—

Sheila's men, Yizang and Yanxin.

The former is not a Teigu user, but he is the strongest among the "Wild Hounds". He possesses the demon sword "Kousetsu", which can suck blood, and once killed Lubbock who had escaped from prison with a single strike.

The latter is the Teigu user of "Moonlight Dance: Wind Blade Sword"—that thing is a scimitar-type Teigu that can emit vacuum blades, and its characteristic is that its performance changes according to the age of the moon, and it can be in its strongest state during the full moon—and like Sheila, it has a habit of raping and killing women.

now.

Yan Xin gestured with his chin to both sides, signaling the soldiers to move forward and surround the suspect.

He then drew a curved knife from his waist and raised it slightly.

With this movement, a cold glint appeared on the blade of the scimitar, a glint that seemed to echo the moonlight in the night sky, gradually becoming as bright and dazzling as the full moon. A faint whistling sound gathered on both sides of the scimitar, emanating a palpable killing intent.

"...The Blade of Vacuum!"

The curved blade swung repeatedly!

In the blink of an eye, several air blades nearly two meters high burst forth from "Moonlight Dance," tearing through the air on both sides in an instant, whistling towards them with a fierce wind, and striking Uchiha Hikaru!

Faced with an overwhelmingly powerful air blade.

Uchiha Hikaru gripped his sword in a reverse grip and unleashed several horizontal slashes!

when--!!!

Sparks flew!

In the instant of the collision in mid-air, the Dragon Bone Blade remained completely still, while the several Vacuum Blades transformed into invisible wind blades, bursting out in all directions, leaving sharp chisel marks on the surrounding air and ground before disappearing without a trace.

「!?」

"This guy is also a Teigu user, a sword-type Teigu user with a focus on defense?!"

Yan Xin was startled.

the other side.

Uchiha Hikaru carefully sensed the force of the attack and nodded slightly: "It's a bit stronger than 'Quick Throw of Tangle,' and it looks alright... It should be passable as a toy."

"……Toy?"

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily: "Kid, you don't think that blocking a few of my 'Vacuum Blades' proves anything, do you? Since you dared to come here, you're destined to die here..."

"Noisy."

"I've seen your 'Vacuum Blade,' and now... it's my turn."

As they were talking.

An astonishing aura burst forth from Uchiha Hikari, and the Dragon Bone Blade in her right hand began to revive and pulsate, rapidly extending from its original four-foot length to a terrifying length of over three meters!

Demonic power surges!

The enhanced Dragon Bone Blade was a far cry from its original, unenhanced state. Furthermore, Uchiha Hikaru's spiritual power had significantly increased during her training. Without even raising the blade, a whooshing sound erupted, and an indescribable sense of oppression burst forth from the Dragon Bone Blade, sweeping across the entire courtyard!

slam-la-

The surrounding ground began to peel and crack, turning into countless tiny stone chips that flew into the air!

"Wha...what's going on?!"

"Is it the effect of that Imperial Arm? Its effect is related to gravity?!"

"...Let's kill her together!"

Izo seemed to sense something was wrong. In a flash, he drew "Jiangxue" and took a step forward, attacking Uchiha Hikaru like lightning! Before he even arrived, a monstrous blood aura transformed into solid killing intent, enveloping Uchiha Hikaru entirely!

Uchiha Hikaru looked up.

Calmly raising the knife, she swung it, her cherry lips parting slightly:

"Crescent Moon..."

"Tian Chong!!!"

This moment!

A huge, milky-white arc of light detached from the blade and expanded at a visible speed... From the initial three meters, it quickly grew to a terrifying size of nearly thirty meters, like a crescent moon plucked from the night sky, stretching across the heavens and earth, and flying forward!

"?!"

While the Tibetan was still on his way, his eyes were filled with moonlight, and then he and his sword were swallowed up by the crescent moon! His entire body was crushed into dust in just a few breaths, along with the "Jiang Xue" sword, turning into dust and iron filings scattered everywhere!

Not only that...

This crescent-shaped chasm swept through the enemy with overwhelming force, cleaving through the guards, houses, artificial hills, rocks, walls, and even the woods hundreds of meters outside the prefect's residence!

Under this divinely powerful strike, everyone was so horrified they lost the ability to speak, their eyes fixed on the crescent moon as if it were the only thing existing in the world. When everything calmed down, a massive vacuum had been cleaved out within hundreds of meters, and everything within that area had been annihilated!

For several minutes, the sounds of buildings collapsing could be heard continuously.

"It's fake, right..."

"Is this girl... really human?!"

Clang—

The sound of a blade hitting the ground rang out.

In front of Uchiha Hikaru, Enshin, whose body was swept by Getsuga Tensho and who was now only left half of his body, opened his mouth and then fell backward, his body scattering like broken ice.

"..."

No one dared to speak again.

In complete silence.

Uchiha Hikaru tilted her head and looked at another Teigu user not far away: "Are you going to dance too?"
