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

When the two reappeared, they were in a magnificent, golden hall.

"Welcome to the Dark Council!"

A deep voice rang out, startling Gin and Vodka, who had just entered, especially Gin.

His senses were already quite sharp, but when that voice rang out, he felt a chill run down his spine, and every cell in his body trembled.

His heart clenched suddenly, as if someone had squeezed it.

He was very clear about this feeling, and he had a similar feeling when facing that big shot in the organization, which was why he was sworn to be loyal to the Black Organization to the death.

Because the other party has transcended the human realm, achieved a leap in life, surpassed the limits of humanity, and reached a higher level of life.

Only such a person deserves his full loyalty, and the person currently hiding in the shadows is also such a person!

"I thought Karasuma Renya would come in person, but he actually sent two lackeys. What an arrogant fellow."

Vodka was furious: "You bastard, how dare you talk to us like that!"

Before he could finish speaking, an invisible force swept over his entire body, and it felt as if a huge boulder weighing ten thousand pounds had been placed on his heart. In an instant, he collapsed to the ground.

"boom--"

One bullet ignites, that's Gin's reaction; he's always in a fighting state, and that's what makes him so terrifying.

His marksmanship was excellent, but at this point it was all in vain.

In the blink of an eye, Gin suffered the same treatment as Vodka, his whole body suddenly tensed up, and a powerful pressure swept over him.

However, Gin was extremely stubborn. Even under such great pressure, he gritted his teeth and persevered, though his whole body trembled and he did not kneel on the ground.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad. You actually managed to survive in my mental domain, so your strength is quite good. However, this strength is still far from what I expected. As I told you, Karasuma should be more serious this time."

I don't have time for his tricks. What I need is strong support to help me eliminate that person. And now they've sent two useless idiots! They deserve to die!

As he spoke, a bright red light shone from his eyes, and his powerful mental energy, carrying a force strong enough to twist steel, began to press down on Gin. In just one or two more seconds, Gin's entire body would be completely transformed into a sphere about half a meter in diameter by this force.

Just then, a sharp telephone ring suddenly sounded.

In such an environment, the sudden ringing of the phone was quite abrupt, but the person still took out the phone and answered it.

"Hmph, Karasumaru, what on earth are you up to!"

A mysterious voice came from the other end of the phone; it was Karasuma Renya, the leader of the Black Organization.

"Hehe, Aurenero, don't be angry. I'm doing this with sincerity. You must have already attacked Gin by now, right? Let him go, because we'll need him for what's to come."

"Humph!"

After letting out a cold snort, the surrounding shadows quickly receded, and Gin, who was on the verge of life and death, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, now you should tell the truth!"

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "The leader of the Dark Council almost died at the hands of a high school student. It seems you find that hard to accept."

At this moment, the mysterious figure revealed his true identity, who was none other than the leader of the Pandora organization who had recently fled in disarray from Miyazaki Yu's hands.

Unexpectedly, he had some connection with Karasuma Renya, the leader of the Black Organization.

"Enough, Karasuma! Don't mention this again. If you say another word, I'll turn your two subordinates into mincemeat!"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, followed by a chuckle and a "Good, this is a huge disgrace for you. Not only did you fail, but you also lost a spider. That's a heavy loss."

Seemingly sensing the other party's rising anger, he immediately changed the subject.

"Alright, let's get down to business. I know who you want to deal with, and I'm quite surprised too. If it's just the strength of someone who has just entered the extraordinary realm, it's really not a threat to us. But now it seems that my judgment was wrong. We all underestimated the strength of that swordsman!"

Therefore, this person is a threat to us, which is why I'm willing to help you this time, sending my capable subordinates to work with you to eliminate this hidden danger!

The leader of the Pandora organization chuckled and said, "A hidden danger? He's not a hidden danger, he's a threat. His sword is no less sharp than that old man, Kawakami Gensai. The reason you left Japan back then was because of that old man's threat!"

And now, if you can't eliminate him, Japan will forever remain your forbidden territory!

A flash of rage crossed Karasuma Ren's face on the other end of the phone, but he quickly calmed down.

Roaring is merely the lament of the incompetent; true strength always lies in wisdom and composure.

"Of course I know that, so we need to plan carefully. This time I will use 'Blackwater' and let Gin personally command it. Also, Gin has already prepared for our previous plan. If it succeeds, our chances of winning will be even greater!"

The organization leader was slightly taken aback, then turned his gaze to Gin, who felt a shiver run through his body once again.

"Hehe, I didn't expect there would actually be someone who is not afraid of death. I would be willing to do that."

Countless shadows then swept out towards Gin, and in the blink of an eye, Gin was completely engulfed by the darkness, followed by an uncontrollable scream.

Vodka, terrified, collapsed to the ground, and the scene abruptly ended once again!

Chapter 288 The Spirit Cat Slash

Within the Sword Master's territory, three dazzling sword lights collided with a deafening roar!

A sudden sword cry arose, and the point where the three collided was like the eye of a storm, with an invisible pressure spreading outwards.

The few people watching the battle from a short distance were utterly shocked!

"Xiaoyu is really amazing. When he became a swordsman before, he could hardly win against Makino Swordsman alone. Now he can actually fight two against one!"

Xiao Lan stood on the sidelines, her face full of joy.

"Rena and Ai, you should watch this carefully. It's a very special gift from Yu."

To improve at any time, you should set a goal for yourself, and ideally, you should start by looking at the best role models and the highest level of works in the field you want to train in. In martial arts, you should watch the highest level of combat.

In this way, although it may not be immediately apparent, it can subtly enhance a person's perspective and experience, laying the foundation for becoming a master.

Just like many literary scholars, they insist on living in universities because universities have the best academic atmosphere, which is very important.

Rena and Ai both nodded emphatically, deeply moved.

The duel between sword masters is extremely precious. Even the disciples of those sword masters can usually only see video footage.

Being able to witness a duel between sword masters live is a tremendous treasure in itself.

Ai, in particular, knew that the reason Miyazaki Yu came to spar with these two sword masters was to broaden her horizons and help her adapt to the training of swordsmanship.

So he looked even more intently, but the more carefully he looked, the more dazzling he became. The awe-inspiring power and impact were enough to shake one's mind.

"boom--"

Sparks flew as the three swords clashed repeatedly. This was because the intense friction between the blades generated extremely high temperatures. At the point where the swords clashed, the temperature reached over 200 degrees Celsius in an instant.

"Whoohoo-"

At this moment, both sword masters, Makino Harukawa and Nishino Toki, had flushed faces, indicating that they had exhausted a great deal of energy.

"Truly astonishing strength! Although I know you have long surpassed me, even with the combined strength of Nishino and me, we are still no match for you. You are a monster; your stamina seems inexhaustible!"

Miyazaki Yu stood with his sword in hand, but pointed the tip at his opponent. This move combined with his thrusting technique, causing all the points of his body to arch, while his internal muscles mimicked those of a cat.

Tight on the outside, loose on the inside, it's several times more terrifying than a real cheetah!

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "Makino Kensho is too kind. You'd better be careful with this next move. This move of mine is called Spirit Cat Slash. It's a move I created by imitating the posture and power generation method of a cat. Be careful."

The two had just joined forces and were still feeling lingering fear. Their opponent's moves were swift and agile, and every time they met, their opponent brought them unexpected 'surprises'.

They just didn't want this kind of surprise.

Moreover, during this battle, they had a strange feeling that their opponent was not using their full strength. It was as if they were in their own sect instructing their disciples. They also felt this feeling during the battle just now.

This made both of them tremble with fear. They were both renowned swordsmen, yet they had already lost the strength to fight each other head-on?

After exchanging a glance, the two held nothing back.

The blades in their hands trembled slightly. If one were to observe them closely with a magnifying glass, one would see that the blades were vibrating rapidly at an extremely fast frequency. This was because they were covering the blades with their own sword energy, that is, their own ion flow, which caused the unusual phenomenon.

Concentrating power into a single point is enough to cut through metal and iron; this is the power to cut through steel. And at this moment, with the two swordsmen going all out, their steel-cutting swords are bound to be earth-shattering.

At this moment, Miyazaki Yu had completed his preparations, exuding an aura like that of a fierce tiger. Everyone who witnessed this scene felt a tightness in their chest, followed by a strong sense of palpitation.

"coming!"

Miyazaki Yu emerged gracefully, and although she gave it her all, she moved as silently as a cat leaping out of the water.

However, all of this appears slow but is actually very fast, because when the speed is too fast, even the eyes can be deceived.

The two unleashed powerful strikes simultaneously, but in his eyes, these two strikes were already extremely slow.

If you look closely, you can see that the pupils of his eyes have undergone a strange change. They are no longer in the state of human eyes, but have become vertical pupils like those of a cat!

After his mimicry was enhanced by the combination of internal energy and mental power, which can be called the enhancement of sword intent, his mimicry was no longer limited to muscles.

All soft organs, including eyes and internal organs, can now mimic appearances for short periods of time.

However, he still cannot mimic the bones, or even the bone marrow deeper within them, which is the direction of his cultivation.

With the cat's ability to capture movement, he could easily catch moving targets. The two people in front of him were not slow in their sword speed, especially Makino Harukawa, who had made some progress after a period of hard training.

But all of that is no longer enough in front of me.

He twisted his body in mid-air, and Nishino Tokiyuki's sword blade grazed past the tip of his nose. He could even clearly see two small notches on the other's blade.

His right hand, which was holding the sword, had already clashed with the blade of Makino Harukawa's sword.

However, there was no overwhelming force as expected, because Makino Kenshou could feel as if his blade had landed on cotton.

The immense power, once transmitted to Miyazaki Yu, was gradually neutralized by his muscles.

He is like a boxer who throws a punch into an empty space, and after the punch is useless, his own opening is exposed.

Just as his sword lost its strength, Miyazaki Yu suddenly exerted his power, and the most peculiar scene followed.

Miyazaki Yu suddenly released his grip, his figure spun and disappeared, while Miyazaki Yu's Horizontal Cloud Slash carried a flexible, winding force, sweeping around the opponent's blade as if strong glue had stuck the two swords together.

Makino Harukawa was immediately caught in a dilemma. The other party would definitely appear behind him, and now the two swords were entangled and their blades were circling around him. He tried to swing his sword, but he couldn't get rid of it. It was as if there was a nimble kitten that was moving around on his blade, making it impossible for him to shake it off.

This is the new move that Miyazaki Hayao came up with, namely the Spirit Cat Slash.

It's like a kitten leaping onto a person; the opponent is very agile and can move around on you, while Miyazaki Yu himself can break away from the battle and attack the opponent from behind.

This is because he left his sword intent on 'Horizontal Cloud Severing'. Once the opponent's sword blade touches his sword tip, it will be as if a scabbard is directly placed on the sword blade.

No matter how hard you try to shake it off, you can't easily get rid of this trouble, and victory or defeat often hinges on a mere instant.
