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

Vermouth smiled slightly and said, "It seems the real battle has begun!"

Chapter 319 Dark Domain (3rd update!)

"boom--"

Clang—

The container, which was originally extremely heavy, was now being lifted into the air like a football by an indescribable force!

Then it slammed down hard in one direction!

However, this seemingly indestructible container was instantly shattered into dozens of pieces after a flash of light, like a thin line of sword light!

Then, in an instant, all these fragments were swept away by a figure who, like a nimble cat, used the momentum of the air to propel himself forward. Each time he stepped over a fragment, the fragment would change its direction of movement.

They all bombarded the same spot!

The fragments scattered across the sky turned into meteorites, falling like a rain of iron!

This force was incredibly powerful, causing the entire 10,000-ton ship to vibrate. If someone were touching the railing at the bow, they could feel the aftershocks emanating from it.

Large sections of the deck were torn open by this immense force!

A figure clad in armor was kneeling on one knee, with bright red wet stains running down his armor, clearly indicating that his injuries were not minor.

"Why is this happening? It's only been a short time, and he's already learned how to use mental energy. Although the total amount of mental energy he has is still far behind mine, the quality of it is far superior!"

As long as he simply guards his own mind, neither my mental attacks nor methods such as illusions that affect the mind will be effective!

But manipulating physical attacks like this is taking a huge toll on me. If we continue fighting, I'm afraid I'll die here!

"Run! There's an explosion!"

At this moment, the crew and sailors on the ship couldn't care less about all that.

They had no idea what was happening. They were still asleep when they heard a loud bang, and then they saw containers flying into the air in the distance.

As sailors, they certainly knew the weight of the container. The force that could throw this behemoth into the air must have been terrifying. There must have been a huge explosion for such a situation to occur!

At that moment, a voice rang out: "Everyone, don't panic! Follow me!"

A middle-aged man with a mustache and wearing a suit rushed out, and everyone was slightly taken aback. Then someone recognized him.

"It's the famous detective Kogoro Mouri! He's actually come aboard our ship!"

"Even a famous detective has arrived; there must be a major case on our ship, right?"

However, at this moment, Kogoro Mouri was not in the mood to explain to these people.

He immediately roared, "Anyone who wants to live, come with me!"

The sea, which had been quiet, suddenly became lively as a large number of small boats began to converge on the ship.

The crew members, who had been in a panic just moments before, were overjoyed. These were ships belonging to the Tokyo Maritime Police Department, so even if the ship sank, they would survive!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

The sound of propellers spinning could be heard from the air. Looking up suddenly, one could see dozens of armed helicopters rapidly converging on this spot!

"Damn it, Miyazaki Yu, you actually called the police!"

Miyazaki Yu looked at the person in front of him with a cold smile. The sword in his right hand made a soft hum, and a flash of light appeared.

"What makes a swordsman a swordsman is his swordsmanship, but a swordsman is not a synonym for a brute. I am also a citizen. In times of crisis, seeking the protection of the government should not be a problem, right?"

Oh, and I forgot to tell you, that hideout you were at before has probably been wiped out by the police. That was probably your last remaining power in Japan, wasn't it? It's truly heartbreaking; years of hard-earned territory destroyed overnight. What a tragic story!

Orenello stared intently at Miyazaki Yu, as if trying to pierce through him with his gaze.

But no matter how sharp the gaze, it could not cause Miyazaki Hayao the slightest harm.

"Don't be so smug. Although you rescued Kogoro Mouri, there are still two women in my hands. Their lives are in my hands. I have already planted a lot of high explosives in the place where they are being held, enough to turn these two women and everything within a radius of several hundred meters into dust!"

This is his trump card!

As long as Miyazaki Yu wavers because of the threat, he can continue to threaten him, step by step leading him into a dead end!

But he was destined to be disappointed.

Miyazaki Yu sneered, "Oh? You really are a despicable and shameless guy. Apart from using women as shields, you're nothing but a coward. If I'm not mistaken, they've already escaped!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, you're lying to me!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly took something out of his pocket, which turned out to be a palm-sized display screen. When it was turned on, there was only one image, which was the container where Vermouth and Eri were being held.

Clearly, there was a hidden camera there, and the two women's struggles had been under his watchful eye.

He enjoyed seeing others struggle helplessly, and seeing the two women Miyazaki Yu cared about slowly collapse due to lack of oxygen.

However, at this point, the container in the camera's view was completely empty, and the two people could no longer be seen.

"It seems things are going as I expected. By the way, I just heard instructions from the police through my earpiece. They want me to capture you alive. They would be more than happy to have a leader like you in an international criminal organization."

However, I don't want to do that!

With that, he reached out and took an earphone off his ear, then casually crushed it!

Meanwhile, on a small boat at sea, General Kambara was leading his men to the scene when a series of static noises came through his earpiece.

He sighed softly, casually took off the headset, and then crushed it in one go.

"It seems that no one can stop his murderous intent!"

Seeing the scene before him, Orenello knew that if he didn't leave now, he would never be able to leave again!

He unleashed another mental attack without regard for the cost, and instantly the surroundings were like a storm, with a powerful repulsive force that even Miyazaki Yu could only temporarily avoid.

It has to be said that this move is actually quite unsolvable.

Immediately afterward, the spiritual patterns on the armor flickered, and his figure shot out like lightning. He concentrated his powerful spiritual energy on the armor, using it to support his body, making his weight extremely light, like a feather.

In this way, high-speed movement can be achieved!

However, although he was fast, it was still not enough in Miyazaki Yu's eyes. Miyazaki Yu, who had achieved a state of perfect harmony between the inside and outside, was now much faster than him.

The sword light rippled across the sky, creating a white wave that spread outwards from near to far, just like ripples on the seashore.

The figure clad in armor was about to be caught up by the sword light.

At that moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly arose, which turned out to be a black smoke screen.

The night is the best cover for darkness. In the blink of an eye, Orenero, who should have been hit, disappeared into the extreme darkness!

Not only that, this black aura began to rapidly envelop Miyazaki Yu. Miyazaki Yu tried to dodge, but the black smoke arrived too quickly and was an area-of-effect attack; Miyazaki Yu was instantly enveloped in darkness!

Chapter 320 Slaying a Powerful Enemy

Once inside the darkness, Miyazaki Yu realized something was wrong.

"Hmm? This is..."

He felt that all his senses were completely blocked after entering the black mist, just like a person who was blindfolded, had his ears plugged, and even his nostrils blocked.

"Sight, hearing, smell, and touch have all disappeared. What is this thing?"

Miyazaki Yu wanted to use his mental power to look around, but unexpectedly, a bolt of lightning seemed to flash in the darkness, and countless tiny arcs of electricity rolled through the black mist, instantly dissipating the mental power he had just extended.

This bizarre situation shocked Miyazaki Yu as well.

"This isn't that guy's doing; a new, formidable enemy has emerged!"

In the darkness, a strange sound suddenly emanates. Such a startling sound, coming from absolute silence, can have a profound impact on both the body and mind.

Within this pure darkness, countless demons seemed to be gathering, and in the blink of an eye, a rustling sound of gnashing teeth came from all around.

In Miyazaki Yu's eyes, one after another strange demon actually took shape, and after roaring at Miyazaki Yu a few times, they pounced on him like hunting beasts in the blink of an eye!

However, Miyazaki Yu remained completely still, as if he felt nothing at all. Just as they were about to touch, the sword blade flew between Miyazaki Yu's palms, and a sword shadow bloomed in an instant, suddenly churning in the air.

Even though he felt everything was suppressed, he still had a way of sensing it. At this moment, with his powerful control, he controlled the opening and closing of all the pores on his body, using all the pores to sense the faintest airflow.

This allows for a timely counterattack when the enemy launches an attack!

The demon that was about to touch Miyazaki Yu has already collapsed under the sword's edge.

However, this was only the beginning. Soon after, countless demons began to emerge and condense from the darkness, seemingly endless!

Miyazaki Yu, however, was overcome with intense emotion; his previously calm eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.

"What's going on? Such a violent killing intent has risen within me, I almost lost control!"

This made Miyazaki Yu somewhat horrified.

If we were to categorize his current level according to the standards of martial arts novels, descriptions like "sword heart clear" and "sword intent pure" would all fit him perfectly, and calling him a grandmaster wouldn't be an exaggeration at all.

His body and will have reached an extremely perfect level. His physical strength has also made his spirit more refined. His spirit and will are as unshakable as a rock.

But now, being surrounded by the black mist, he was experiencing intense negative emotions, which shocked him greatly.

Little did he know that the two figures hiding in the shadows were even more shocked.

"Damn it! I never expected this young man to have such a concentrated spirit. His willpower and spirit are suddenly one. I tried to shake his spirit, but it was like trying to shake a steel pillar that had been tempered a hundred times. I could only sway it slightly, but I couldn't bend it!"

The person who spoke these words was shrouded in a black robe, and judging from the voice, it was the mysterious so-called priest who had previously agreed to help deal with Miyazaki Yu.

It seems that he arrived just in time to save Orenero's life. If he hadn't appeared in time, Orenero would have been killed on the spot by Miyazaki Yu.

"I told you long ago, this kid is a major threat. We must kill him at all costs!"

He gritted his teeth as he continued to channel his mental energy into the black mist!

Because the black mist at this moment was not the work of this black priest alone, but the result of the combined efforts of the two of them.

The black priest cursed inwardly.

His special ability is called the Dark Domain. He uses his own special energy to create this black ionized energy, which is equivalent to a strange magnetic field.

Once inside, it can block out all of a person's senses, making them deaf and blind, and can also create all sorts of illusions in the darkness, just like a real hell.

Those who are caught up in these illusions will constantly fight against them, and their emotions will gradually spiral out of control, eventually leading to madness and death.

He never expected that Miyazaki Yu's willpower would be so strong that he was almost unable to shake it!

However, everything changed after Orenero joined the fray.
