I am a female swordsman.

Huang Quan dusted off her clothes and stood up; this was part of her plan. She had always firmly believed in the absurd notion that humans could create miracles, and Sephiroth possessed all the necessary conditions; he had a high probability of creating one.

The next thing to do is reply to the letter.

She replied to Sephiroth in the guise of Yomi Mado, without needing any guidance or anything else, simply as an assistant offering him words of comfort.

………………

That night, Zack, who was patrolling near the laboratory base he occupied in Z City, tracked down a dark figure.

At first, he thought it was a weirdo, so being in charge of security, he naturally followed quietly. If the other party was ungrateful and had any designs on their lab, Zack would naturally nip the threat in the bud. If it was just someone passing by, Zack wouldn't have bothered to chase after them and start a fight.

In the ghost town, blind fighting is a futile act.

Because every night, this place becomes a paradise for weirdos.

Z-City is home to many strange individuals, who, due to the legacy of Shinra and other reasons, remain relatively well-behaved and generally do not cause much damage outside of Z-City. However, this does not mean the ghost town is safe. Because of the concentration of strange individuals and its connection to Mako, the level of these strange individuals is generally higher than in the outside world, and their unique living environment makes them among the most powerful in combat.

While the strange characters outside were still fighting with brute force, the strange characters in Z City had already started using their brains.

Following the shadowy figure, Zack unexpectedly discovered that its target was Mado Yomi's residential area. This forced him to stop, and things suddenly became more complicated.

Since learning certain things, Mado Yomi's relationship with them has cooled considerably.

Given their intelligence, it's impossible that they wouldn't have guessed over time that the three of them were actually doing something shady behind the company's back. As an employee of Shinra, Mado Yomi's involvement with them was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for that zombie man named Sakurai, Mado Yomi might have already reported them to the authorities to protect herself.

In this way, Zack cannot be said to have arbitrarily stepped into the area designated by Mado Yomi.

"Never mind, I'll go back and tell Cisner."

Watching the lithe, agile figure darting between the floors in the distance, Zack thought for a moment and decided not to get involved in Mado Yomi's affairs.

Their current situations are both delicate.

It's better for everyone if we don't meet.

The uninvited guest arrived late at night, and Huang Quan had already locked onto him as he approached the residential area. To be precise, Huang Quan, with his senses spread out, was aware of the entire city of Z. Naturally, he couldn't let this humanoid furnace, whose body was a hundred times hotter than that of an ordinary person, escape as it headed towards him.

She was quite strange.

Huang Quan had been staying at home like a recluse lately, either conducting experiments or using herself as a subject, so theoretically she shouldn't have offended anyone. But as the saying goes, "sitting at home, trouble comes out of nowhere," and now someone is coming after her. Huang Quan found it both amusing and frustrating.

Who could this visitor be?

The shadowy figure moved like a black lightning bolt! Its speed was dazzling, and it sped towards the area where Mado Yomi was located! But not long after, the shadowy figure stopped, and the target who should have been the one he attacked was now standing in the moonlight, watching him indifferently!

Chapter 107 The Aura of Death

The uninvited guest who arrived in the dead of night stopped immediately upon seeing Yomi Mado.

"It's you?"

Using the faint, scattered light, Yomi could make out the visitor's face: a figure wearing a werewolf mask. If her memory served her right, this person was one of the martial artists participating in the martial arts tournament, and Yomi considered him one of the most promising humans.

However, for Huang Quan, this memory is inevitably somewhat blurred.

"I won the championship."

A slightly altered, hoarse voice came from under the hood. Huang Quan noticed that the man had several injuries on his body. Some were clearly cuts from sharp objects, while others showed signs of being beaten with great force. Combining this with what he said, it seemed that this guy had swept through all his opponents and won the championship after Huang Quan withdrew from the competition.

"But you gave up the competition, so this championship is meaningless."

"Then it seems I don't need to congratulate you."

Huang Quan's eyes changed slightly. She had felt a sense of familiarity from the beginning, recognizing certain characteristics and life force emanating from this visitor. She had initially thought it was just a lingering feeling from Sakura Huang Quan, nothing important, so it only just dawned on her that this guy was clearly the Bang disciple she had previously beaten up—Garou!

"Now, it's your turn to fight me. You're a terrifying guy who's not even in the same league as those trash. Let me see your true skills, Mado Yomi!"

As he spoke, the hungry wolf assumed an attack stance.

Being confronted at her door late at night just to do this kind of thing, Huang Quan suddenly felt a faint sadness welling up inside her. This sadness was turning into murderous intent; she planned to hang up this clueless experimental subject, beat him up, and then throw him into the ghost town to fend for himself.

However, before that, Huang Quan planned to give Hungry Wolf one last chance, after all, she wasn't some kind of demon.

"You can still turn around and leave now..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Hungry Wolf, who had suddenly transformed into a black blur, pounced like a ferocious beast! This made Huang Quan, who was still speaking, shut his mouth to avoid getting a mouthful of dust! The black shadow's target was Huang Quan's hands, and the Hungry Wolf's preemptive strike was incredibly fast!

Wherever he went, the air seemed to be violently compressed, forming an oxygen-depleted corridor. If someone were in this corridor, they would surely experience difficulty breathing.

The taut force lashed out viciously from the whip hand, and a faint crackling sound immediately filled the air. This whip could strike not only the fragile human body, but even a pillar of steel, with unparalleled power, leaving it severely dented!

'good.'

With Huang Quan's keen eyesight, he clearly saw the entire trajectory of the hungry wolf's attack and knew his movements.

He casually raised his hand.

Snapped! !

Beneath the wolf mask, his face contorted slightly with rage. He unleashed a powerful whip strike, lashing the man's raised arm in defense! The result was as if he had been relentlessly striking the solid cliff face before it, day and night—unmoving and unshaken like a mountain!

The dull sound was like the beating of a large drum!

Their figures intertwined, attacks, barely perceptible to the naked eye, relentlessly striking each other's weaknesses. The more Hungry Wolf fought, the more something felt off; he felt his force being absorbed by his opponent. Forget achieving the intended effect, he couldn't even make her stagger!

No...

We can't continue with such gentle methods; we have to go all out to have any chance of defeating her. Everything before she uses that move is just an appetizer.

Water-flowing rock-breaking breathing technique!

The 【Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist】is a secret breathing technique that can greatly mobilize the body's potential, making the human body as flexible and unyielding as real flowing water.

The wolf's originally swift movements seemed to slow down slightly, but his lean and agile body was faintly enveloped in a layer of milky white aura. As if wrapped in the continuous force of flowing water, the wolf's muscles and bones trembled rapidly, releasing the sound of gushing fluid.

This power...

Boom!!!

An unrestrained, surging wave! The hungry wolf took a step forward! His body, previously thrown back, lunged forward again, his hands, propelled by the force of the flowing water, furiously striking the seemingly indestructible rock wall! The power of the human body was on full display at this moment, exploding violently around Huang Quan's hands as if the air itself had been shattered!

It sounded like ten thousand firecrackers exploding!

He's incredibly powerful. Compared to that brat he once casually blasted into a cliff, Garou is now far stronger. His unique breathing technique, which unleashes superhuman strength, combined with his fighting skills specifically designed for human enemies, has created an incomparably terrifying humanoid fighting machine.

But that's all there is to it.

Huang Quan had been on the defensive from the beginning. She habitually observed her opponents' every move, learned their habits, and knew what they would do next. This once vague intuition had now been developed by Huang Quan to the point of near-predictivity.

She can see the future!

It's not about seeing with the naked eye, but rather the brain simulating all possible scenarios for the next moment based on all the information it receives. Rather than calling this a skill, it's more accurate to describe it as experience.

"Have you had enough of this nonsense?"

Faced with the relentless barrage of attacks, Huang Quan's initial anticipation began to be replaced by indifference. Her scarlet eyes remained fixed on the rapidly moving, hungry wolf, staring into his eyes. It was as if she were looking at a sack, an inanimate object, devoid of any warmth.

In the eyes of the hungry wolf, this terrifying woman finally moved!

She moved!

Her long, beautiful black hair suddenly billowed out, and with a single step, she thrust out with her palm! Without any grand display, amidst the dazzling, whistling shadows, her hand strike was like a cold, sharp sword, piercing straight in! Unwavering, decisive, and ruthless! The next moment, the hungry wolf was sent flying backward like a cannonball!

It sparked a trail of blood!

A long, bloody gash appeared on his arm, as if he had been cut by an extremely sharp blade. The landing made a slight tremor. Garou glanced down at his arm, then immediately looked up at Mado Yomi. However, she had already vanished from the spot.

Where are you looking?

A lifeless voice came from behind, and the pupils beneath the wolf's mask instantly contracted to their maximum. Even without turning around, he could smell the aura emanating from behind. Darkness, coldness, despair, profound... it was the aura of death!

Chapter 108 The Sudden Attack

An immense, overwhelming force pressed down from behind.

Silent and still, carrying the scent of death.

It's hard to imagine that a slender, delicate woman could possess such terrifying strength when her delicate hands press down, as if they could ignite the very air. It's as if her hands aren't a beautiful work of art, but a disguised weapon. When she gets serious, her beautiful exterior will be mercilessly... torn to shreds!

dead……

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

Overwhelmed by the immense pressure of death, the ravenous wolf, barely able to breathe, roared in fury. At the same time, in addition to the flowing white energy that had previously enveloped him, an extra, exceptionally sharp and unique energy suddenly appeared, the two forces interacting and triggering a wondrous reaction!

A suffocating vacuum wave knife!

Twist your waist and turn around, grab and pull, unleash all your strength!

A series of thunderous explosions slammed into Huang Quan from the ravenous wolf's hands, unleashing a nauseating shockwave that swept outwards in all directions. Such violent power was as if two opposing forces had been ignited, releasing an incredibly terrifying amount of energy!

boom!!

Amidst this miniature hurricane, Huang Quan stood firm, as if rooted to the earth. A slight hint of doubt flickered in her eyes. Hungry Wolf had clearly reached his limit, yet he could unleash even greater power beyond that limit. Like some kind of indestructible creature, he could adapt and surprise you with almost the same amount of force, just like a protagonist!

My impression of you has changed a bit.

Her flowing black hair began to turn silvery-white, and Huang Quan's previously nonchalant expression suddenly became serious. The situation, which seemed about to be overturned by the hungry wolf, was once again firmly suppressed by her.

Her swift, graceful figure caught the hungry wolf's body.

"But the human body is still the human body, with too many limitations and shortcomings!" While speaking calmly, he restrained the wolf's hands and ruthlessly pressed him to the ground from behind, running his feet along the wolf's knee joints.

Bang!

The wolf, head down, added another spiderweb-like crack to the concrete floor with its hard skull, and after the perpetrator, Huang Quan, finished doing all this, everything fell silent.

Half of the wolf's head was embedded in the ground, its body twitching slightly. It looked like a frog on a dissection table, evoking pity in everyone. But Huang Quan, who had done all this, felt no pity. She simply did it, as decisively as pressing a thumbtack into a blackboard.

This is the second time.

The second time, Huang Quan truly intended to kill. The first time, she used her sword intent sequence, a nascent awakening technique that blended two diametrically opposed sword intents: Destroying Edge and Concealing Edge. However, the Hungry Wolf inexplicably dodged it, which was quite unbelievable.

Therefore, Huang Quan once again struck with deadly force.

Smash this guy's head hard onto the ground. If that's not enough, chop it off and smash it to pieces. The premise is that this guy, who might have escaped death again, is foolish enough to provoke her again; her patience is limited. Just as Huang Quan raised her hand towards the hungry wolf lying on the ground, preparing to chop off his head...

boom! ! !

The crisp sound of gunfire echoed through the night sky of the ghost town.

………………

"Damn it! Run! Target misjudged... She's not a legend!"
