Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Miyazaki Yu was also somewhat shocked. This person's bizarre illusion technique almost trapped him in an illusion as well.

However, because of his immense strength and extremely powerful mental fortitude, he broke free instantly, though his mind felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.

He also recognized the person who made the move, the guy with the strange mask, known as Spider, an assassin hired by a mysterious organization for a large sum of money.

His public identity is that of the world-renowned illusionist Günter von Goldberg II. However, according to Hakuba Saguru, this is not his real name. He is a top assassin with special powers who travels all over the world and is a figure of mysterious origin.

Moreover, this person is extremely skilled in using illusions!

Miyazaki Yu looked at the person coldly and sneered.

"It seems that everything just now was arranged by you in secret. How interesting. It has been a long time since I have met an opponent as interesting as you."

At this moment, the spider also realized what was happening.

“Just now you appeared in the sniper’s field of vision and stood in front of Chairman Morita. I thought you had been torn to pieces, but I didn’t expect that you could survive in that situation and even break free from my illusion. It’s really shocking. However, you won’t be so lucky next.”

He suddenly raised his hand, and several steel needles transformed into points of cold light, attacking Miyazaki Yu.

A surge of smugness rose within him. His steel needles were specially made; their power, when used in a surprise attack at such a short distance, was not much weaker than that of a bullet. So prepare to die!

But to his astonishment, the other party actually wielded a longsword, the blade twisting and turning in the air like a blooming flower. All the steel needles were instantly shattered, turning into a pile of fragments on the ground.

"What? How is that possible!"

The spider was shocked; it had actually blocked all of its attacks with a single blow!

"It seems you've run out of tricks. So this time, it's my turn to attack."

As he spoke, his figure moved swiftly, transforming into a blur as he attacked the spider!

"No, I must not let him get near me!"

This was Spider's truest thought at that moment: this person was terrifyingly powerful, and if he were allowed to get close, the consequences would be dire!

The three eyes on his mask shone brightly red as he concentrated all his mental energy and attacked Miyazaki Yu, trying to shake the opponent's mental world with his own.

"I refuse to believe you can withstand my full-force attack. As long as you show a weakness, as long as your resolve wavers, I'll have my chance!"

In the next instant, his face turned pale, a roar came from his brain, as if his entire brain had been hit hard, and his whole body was about to be paralyzed.

"what--"

He screamed wildly and immediately knelt down on the ground, and Miyazaki Yu's figure appeared instantly.

"Thorn-"

The sword's edge was embedded in the ground. Miyazaki Yu steadied himself, his face turning pale. The mental shock he had just experienced was truly terrifying.

"I didn't expect this guy to have such methods. I underestimated him. In the original work, Kaito Kid could fight this guy to a standstill. This made me a little careless. However, you have ultimately underestimated the skills of a swordsman!"

His muscles began to tense up, and his blood and energy surged instantly!

His aura surged instantly, and the spider standing opposite him had an ever-changing expression on its face behind its mask.

"Damn it, what's going on? I feel like I can't move, just like those people I've mentally suppressed. This guy's aura has increased several times in a short period of time!"

"Oh no! He must be using some kind of sword technique, a technique of immense power that can increase his strength several times over for a short period. He'll definitely unleash a thunderous attack on me next, and I won't be able to withstand it. What should I do?!"

In that instant, even the world's top assassin felt a fear spreading from the depths of his heart. Perhaps many of those he killed felt the same way before they died.

Chapter 231 Extraordinary Powerhouse Makes a Move

"No, I can't die here. I only killed the chairman of a conglomerate, not a political leader. How could such a powerful person appear by my side? Is this what a powerful person who has reached the extraordinary realm looks like?"

As one of the world's top assassins, his understanding of the world far surpasses the imagination of ordinary people.

The waters of this world are far deeper than most people imagine!

Many forgotten myths are actually just the edges that emerge after the dust of history has been swept away!

Deep within this world lie beings who have transcended mortals, possessing extraordinary strength and serving as the cornerstone of this world since ancient times.

Although we now live in an era dominated by firearms, these individuals who have wielded extraordinary powers have adapted to the new age and achieved a delicate balance with the governments of this world.

Within the Dragon Kingdom, there are hidden powerful individuals who have mastered extraordinary techniques. Europa possesses the power of bloodline, and there are also those who, like himself, have mastered spiritual power.

And the extraordinary power in Japan is the Sword Masters Association!

It seems that our opponents must be members of the Sword Masters Guild!

However, the Sword Masters Association has always kept a low profile. Why would those guys with swords on their minds take action to protect the chairman of a conglomerate?

Although his illusion magic was very strong, he only wanted to easily kill some ordinary people who had little ability to resist, rather than looking for those powerful people who, like him, were on the edge of the extraordinary realm and wanted to explore deeper levels of power!

At this critical moment, he suddenly flung out several pale yellow balls from his sleeve. These balls were not smoke bombs, because he knew that smoke bombs would be useless against such a powerful opponent.

Once the opponent's mind has been locked on, within a certain distance, unless one transforms into a bird and flies away, there is absolutely no chance. Although the swords in the hands of these sword masters cannot be described as indestructible, ordinary walls or even steel cannot stop their blades in the slightest!

Once these small balls land, they burst instantly and begin to expand rapidly within a tenth of a second, just like the famous chemical phenomenon of the Pharaoh's Serpent, where a wall of foam rises instantly!

Finally, at the most dangerous moment, he blocked Miyazaki Yu's sword!

"This foam wall is made of the latest material manufactured by a famous laboratory in the United States. It is an auxiliary material used on the space shuttle. Although it looks like foam, it actually has extremely high toughness. So what if it is a swordsman?"

"I just need to hold him off for a little while, and I can get away!"

His palm touched two small white balls again. This time, he touched smoke bombs. If he could create a little more chaos, he could get away!

However, his idea was ultimately just wishful thinking.

Just as he was about to throw the ball, the foam wall that had just risen to his disbelief tore open a large hole in it!

The blade that suddenly thrust out carried a faint glow, as if a faint halo extended the sharpness of the blade beyond its edge!

This is sword energy. At this moment, Miyazaki Yu's sword energy can only extend to a few inches beyond the edge of the sword.

But that was enough. With the added power of sword energy, his steel-slicing sword was even more powerful!

It could easily cut through a huge stone pillar that would take several people to encircle before, and now it can also cut through a foam wall made of aerospace materials in an instant!

The sword tip was already close at hand, and the spider's expression changed drastically. Was he going to die here?

The small white ball that had just slipped from his grasp was cleaved in two by the sword's edge, and the smoke dissipated. But none of that mattered. In an instant, the sword would pierce through his body and pin him to the ground!

All of this sounds slow, but in reality, it only took a second or two, and Miyazaki Yu only made a few sword strikes.

At this moment, the spider could even feel the chill of the sword's edge!

But at that moment, a shadow had somehow spread to the spider's feet, and the once invincible sword was blocked by this shadow.

Miyazaki Yu's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He felt as if he were in his past life, using a blunt knife to work on a tough cow skeleton. He was using all his strength, and even making a small incision was extremely difficult.

This was the first time Miyazaki Yu had ever felt this way!

"This feeling...this is the feeling of palpitations!"

What made Miyazaki Yu's expression even more solemn was that everything around him was now bathed in shadow, and everyone except him was suppressed by the shadow.

Time seemed to stand still; they were all bound by the shadows and could not move an inch.

"How interesting! Many years ago I said that although the swordsmen of Japan are not weak, the path of inheritance is too difficult. Only absolute geniuses have the opportunity to step into this field!"

I originally thought that after the old guys of the Sword Masters Guild fell, there wouldn't be any more sword masters, but I never expected that a sword master with unlimited potential would appear again!

A figure emerged from the darkness, his body clad in magnificent armor that appeared brand new.

The figure inside the armor was also shocked. The young man in front of him seemed to be as hot as a flame in his perception!

Besides his own strength, the armor was also a great help in enabling him to unleash such power!

If that weren't the case, I wouldn't have been able to withstand that sword strike just now.

The sword's edge sliced ​​through the shadows, sending sparks flying.

"Who are you? Are you also in cahoots with this guy who likes to create illusions?"

The armored man chuckled: "Of course, after all, this kid is one of my subordinates. Although he's just someone I hired, I can't just let him get killed without doing anything. After all, I'm not some kind of demon."

Miyazaki Yu felt a chill run down his spine: "He hired Spider? Does that mean he's the mastermind behind that mysterious organization searching for the Pandora Gem?"

However, Miyazaki Yu quickly calmed down.

The fact that the opponent was able to withstand my sword strike head-on shows that he is indeed a very formidable person.

That mysterious organization was able to hunt down the first Phantom Thief Kid and remain unscathed despite being pursued by multiple governments. It's understandable that the leader of this organization possesses such power!

Moreover, this is also a great opportunity for me. In such a confrontation, I will have the chance to use my own consciousness to replicate the opponent's physical structure!

Ultimately, the world of consciousness is Miyazaki Hayao's biggest trump card.

Those who fight against him unknowingly become his nourishment. He can analyze his opponents' moves and physical structure countless times in his consciousness, thus finding the source of their power and defeating them!

The two people in front of him, whether it was the spider or the armored man, were both extremely powerful beings, especially the armored guy, who was capable of confronting him head-on.

Therefore, replicating his physical form and then analyzing his abilities in the realm of consciousness becomes crucial.

Chapter 232 The Secret of the Armored Man (3rd Update!)

"So, do you wish to take him away, or do you desire a confrontation with me?"

The armored man chuckled: "As expected of a clever child. Even after becoming a swordsman, he remains very cautious. Even at this point, he is still trying to avoid fighting me."

However, now that I've made my move, I'm not leaving. I'm going to take this kid away, fight you, and kill you. It would be an honor for you to die under my 'Dark Domain'."

A red light suddenly flashed beneath the visor of the armor.

"And don't even think about running away, because right now, the entire hall is my domain. If you run away, everyone here will be completely destroyed by me. You don't want to see that happen, do you?"

This is a blatant threat!

Miyazaki Yu felt a chill run down his spine; his opponent had already made up their mind to kill him at all costs!

I have absolutely no knowledge of my opponent's fighting style, while he knows the fighting style of a swordsman like the back of his hand. This battle may be extremely dangerous for me.

However, now that he has something on his mind, he has nowhere to retreat.

However, his current mindset is completely different from when he first woke up.

The images flashed through my mind, and I began to recall them.

The first girl he saw after waking up was Xiaolan, who was frozen in place. This girl was gentle and kind, and she gradually entered his heart after they started spending time together.

Later, through spending more time together, the two grew closer and closer.
