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

Forty minutes later, he arrived at a place with a very quiet environment, where a small building was built against a mountain.

The area is surrounded by lush willows, and a winding stream flows over a uniquely designed arched bridge. The stream eventually converges into a lake on the side of the mountain.

"This woman certainly knows how to enjoy herself; even at a time like this, she still managed to pick a nice place."

After walking to the front of the building and pressing the doorbell, the door opened automatically.

Without hesitation, she walked straight in and quickly entered the building. In the lobby on the first floor, a graceful figure stood with her back to Miyazaki Yu.

As he stepped into the house, his face quickly regained its normal appearance.

Upon hearing footsteps, the figure slowly turned around, revealing a stunningly beautiful face—it was Vermouth!

Chapter 338 Fine Wine

"Hmph, you've finally arrived. I thought that after I lost my usefulness, you, the great swordsman, would never pay attention to me again."

As she spoke, she reached out and wiped her eyes, wiping away non-existent tears.

Miyazaki Yu's lips twitched. This woman really liked acting, especially deliberately using such clumsy acting skills to fool him.

However, after thinking about it, he didn't expose her. This time, she was indeed implicated by him and suffered an undeserved disaster, and he felt guilty.

"I'm so sorry I dragged you into this!"

She let out a soft sigh as she spoke, for this incident was almost a catastrophe for Vermouth.

First, there was the betrayal of Karasuma Renya, the boss who had once spoiled her, who directly sold her out and made her one of the bargaining chips.

Without the organization's protection, Vermouth lost her most important support.

Moreover, because of that damned Gin, she lost three loyal subordinates all at once.

Those three were elite combatants trained by Miyazaki Yu, yet they were killed before they could even be used, which is a huge loss.

The three men all held Miyazaki Yu in high esteem, even regarding him as a teacher. Their deaths left Miyazaki Yu feeling deeply distressed.

Seeing Miyazaki Yu's appearance, Bayonetta's eyes flickered, and she gently exhaled.

"It's not your fault. It was my oversight. When I killed Shuichi Akai, I didn't report your situation directly to that person. But with the organization's strength, even the slightest clue would have been enough to confirm your identity. This is my own fault."

As she spoke, a hint of weakness flashed in her eyes.

She is indeed a smart and strong woman, but she is also a weak woman. As a vine clinging to the big tree of the Black Organization, she has long been accustomed to the organization's existence.

She was able to live a luxurious and carefree life because of the protection of the organization.

Now that they have suddenly lost most of their support and may even be hunted down by their former organization, the tension, oppression, and sense of powerlessness they feel are beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

The hardest thing for a person to overcome is themselves. Habits, experiences, and perceptions are all cages that bind a person, and even if people know about these invisible constraints, they cannot break them.

At this moment, Vermouth was also in a state of extreme frustration.

In the silence, tears suddenly burst forth like a surging sea, flowing uncontrollably from her eyes and rushing straight to Miyazaki Yu's side, where she threw herself into his arms.

"what?"

Even though Miyazaki Yu was already at a level where he was unfazed by anything, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless at this moment.

However, he quickly realized that at this moment, any words of comfort would be superfluous. The most important thing was to have a shoulder to lean on, so there was no need for any further comfort.

Instead, he simply put his arm around her shoulder and let her cry.

Vermouth was also letting out all the anxiety and fear she had been feeling these past few days, as well as the terror brought on by the great uncertainty.

It took a full half hour for Bei Jie to recover. By then, Miyazaki Yu's shoulders were soaked with tears.

As soon as Sister Bei looked up, she saw all this. A blush immediately spread across her fair face, like a shy young girl. She quickly straightened up and turned away.

"Please sit here for a moment, I'm going to the restroom."

He left in a hurry, leaving Miyazaki Yu alone.

"Women are just more troublesome. When they go to the bathroom, they definitely won't just wash their face and be done with it. They'll definitely touch up their makeup. It won't be over in less than twenty minutes."

Thinking of this, he naturally wouldn't just stand there dumbfounded, but instead started wandering around the entire building.

It must be said that the refuge Vermouth prepared for herself was indeed excellent. The environment was quiet and peaceful, and it was located between the villa area and the city, so it was not too conspicuous. The living environment and security conditions were also top-notch.

Such a place is indeed very suitable for hiding oneself and avoiding trouble; it is indeed the best place.

However, Miyazaki Yu now has to face a problem: how to deal with Vermouth.

As his longtime partner, he naturally couldn't ignore her, especially since Vermouth herself was very capable; the title of "Changing Witch" was well-deserved.

Such a capable woman should never be pushed to the opposite side, especially since the two of them have a close relationship.

Furthermore, although he had killed the armored man, both the extraordinary expert who manipulated the black mist and Karasuma Renya, who was hiding behind the Black Organization, were extremely troublesome figures.

Especially Karasuma Renya, a man of deep scheming and endless tricks. This time, he relied on some luck, and the fact that the Black Organization did not take the lead in the operation, which allowed him to seize the opportunity to join forces with the Sword Masters Association and wipe out all these disgusting guys in one fell swoop.

But the trouble these guys have caused me won't end there.

To fight against these rats lurking in the darkness, we can't just passively defend; we also need to take the initiative.

Only a dead enemy is the best enemy.

Some people only truly settle down and behave themselves when they become corpses!

What he had to do was find a way to send all these villains to hell.

However, this has a prerequisite: finding a way to deal with these bastards. Simply using force won't work; these guys are like rats.

They lurk in the deepest darkness, hidden in every shady corner. If you're not careful, these scoundrels could cause you great harm.

Jade artifacts will never clash head-on with stones; even if they win, it's a losing proposition.

So Miyazaki Hayao came up with a solution: to start building his own organization!

And Vermouth was naturally the best candidate to form her own organization!

After a while, Vermouth changed her clothes and touched up her makeup before coming out to greet him again and inviting him upstairs.

Upstairs, as expected, it was a bar style that Sister Bei liked, with a bar-style dining area and a wine cabinet filled with all kinds of red wine, each of which was quite expensive.

Then Vermouth actually started cooking herself, saying she was going to prepare a big meal and that she was going to eat and drink to her heart's content today. Miyazaki Yu's task was to eat and drink with her!

Miyazaki Yu was happy to be at ease, so he simply sat on a chair in front of the bar area and waited for the meal to be served.

It must be said that Vermouth, wearing an apron and cooking, has a unique charm. And her culinary skills are quite impressive; she quickly whipped up several authentic French dishes.

Then, a few bottles of fine red wine were opened, and the meal officially began.

It was already late, but she deliberately didn't turn on the lights, only lit two candles, instantly creating a romantic atmosphere.

Miyazaki Yu seemed to have anticipated something, and her heart began to beat faster and faster involuntarily.

Red lips were stained with deep red wine, and the corners of the mouth were also stained with blood red. The colors were so stunning that one couldn't help but be intoxicated by them, gradually becoming immersed in the enchanting interplay of fine wine and red candles.

Chapter 339 The Sword in the Clouds

At six o'clock in the morning, Miyazaki Yu's biological clock stubbornly woke her up.

His body is incredibly strong. Even though he drank a lot of alcohol yesterday, he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. His body has completely burned off the alcohol from last night.

However, these were all minor matters to him; the truly important thing was the one right beside him.

Thinking about it, she turned her gaze to her side. There was a figure in the very luxurious quilt, with hair like a golden waterfall cascading over the pillow. Through the long hair, she could vaguely see her delicate and fair skin.

She was still asleep at this moment, her slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was enduring some kind of pain, but the slightly upturned corners of her mouth seemed to show a hint of smugness.

This made Miyazaki Yu smile slightly, but he did not linger on her beauty. He got up, dressed, opened the French windows, and went out into the courtyard.

The air was still slightly damp and chilly, but this was Miyazaki Yu's favorite time because the air was freshest then.

He would get up at this time every day, or even earlier, and then use breathing techniques to expel all the internal energy from his lungs.

After a little warm-up, I started some more intense exercise, first doing 500 one-handed push-ups, then 500 one-finger push-ups. These were all completed within a few minutes, and the intensity and frequency of the exercise were truly astonishing.

However, for Miyazaki Yu, this level of exercise intensity was just a warm-up.

"I still feel uneasy without a sword in my hand," he said with a slight smile, then pointed to the sky.

In the once silent and deserted sky, something suddenly appeared. This thing was extremely fast; it was still far away, but in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of us.

Only when you get close can you see clearly that it is a long sword, which is dazzling in the sunlight, and you can feel the sharpness emanating from it just by looking at it.

It seemed as if just a glance could cut someone; it was Miyazaki Yu's sword, Yokogakure!

At this moment, the sword was placed horizontally in front of Miyazaki Yu, hovering motionless as if frozen in time. However, Miyazaki Yu could sense a joyful expression emanating from the sword.

"I never expected that the upgraded version of the sword-nurturing technique, the sword-reflecting technique in my heart, was originally just to use my own internal energy to refine the sword and make the sword more compatible with my own aura. But I never expected that it would reach this level all at once."

This was a sudden idea of ​​his; he accidentally transformed the kitten Lingyu into an extremely special being, almost like a legendary spirit beast.

He immediately realized that the one most connected to his aura was his sword, so he immediately began to study it, pouring a large amount of internal energy and spiritual energy into Hengyun Duan.

Furthermore, it continuously senses the changes within the sword and begins to adjust the amount and intensity of the infusion, as well as the arrangement and strength of the 'crystals' within the sword.

As it turned out, his conjecture was entirely correct, and through his continuous adjustments, he also discovered the optimal power mix ratio for the sword.

This ratio is just like the evolutionary history of gunpowder.

The simplest formula, consisting of one part saltpeter, two parts sulfur, and three parts charcoal, can be used to make gunpowder. However, this approximate ratio doesn't produce much power. Later, the ratio was refined to the percentile: 75% saltpeter, 10% sulfur, and 15% carbon. This greatly increased the explosive rate and power of bullets and shells.

On the battlefield, that's the difference between life and death!

This not only refined the sword, but also raised its hardness and sharpness to a new level.

Moreover, there was an unexpected gain. First of all, the connection between Miyazaki Yu and his sword greatly increased, just like the relationship between the master and the magic weapon in those cultivation novels. Miyazaki Yu could clearly feel the location of his sword.

This kind of sensing cannot be blocked by modern instruments; the only factor affecting perception is distance.

In other words, even if Orenero had locked the Yokogakure Sever in some hidden places, or placed it in a lead container or a box made of other insulating materials, he still couldn't block Miyazaki Yu's senses!

And then came this move!

This is practically the legendary sword control technique!

This greatly excited Miyazaki Yu. He even discovered that the sword, after being nurtured by this mixed power, could make the crystals in the sword's components more active, and the structure would change accordingly, producing a function similar to energy storage.

In other words, he can pour a large amount of his sword energy into the sword and then use the sword control technique to remotely control the sword, and even make the sword attack automatically!

That's why Gin had his previous experience; he was about to succeed when he was blocked by a long sword that flew from a distance.
