My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

"Qingkong, how are the offerings being prepared?" Chai Gongwu asked.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, a total of 25 sacrificial offerings have been prepared. They can be slaughtered in front of Young Master Yangsheng's tombstone at any time, as long as Your Excellency gives the order," Qingkong said coldly.

These 25 people weren't just randomly arrested.

Shibamiya Seiko carefully investigated the commoners who hated Shibamiya Yosei.

Shiba Miyako likes women, especially beautiful and glamorous women on the street, because it gives him a sense of novelty.

Moreover, in his view, these women dress so provocatively when they go out, isn't it just to seduce men?

Now it's all good!

You've successfully seduced me!

There were so many such incidents that his men became increasingly secretive and sophisticated in their methods of kidnapping women.

Just like Hui back then, she was kidnapped without even realizing it.

After he had his way with these kidnapped girls for a while, he would usually release them when he got tired of them. Those who accidentally died... were dismembered and burned, leaving no trace.

These surviving girls and their families, under duress and bribery, often choose to take the money and forget about the incident.

Of course, there are also a few people who fail to recognize the situation and insist on struggling...

And these people will pay the price for their stupidity: for example, the 25 people currently locked in a basement somewhere in the manor...

Therefore, there are actually many commoners who hate Chai Gongyangsheng, so there is no need to worry about not finding offerings when Chai Gongyangsheng is emptied.

Among them, Maeda Chie was lucky to escape unscathed, because the dozen or so bodyguards who knew that she had been with Shibamiya Yosei that night were already dead.

What Shiba Miyazaki was going to do was something shady, so he prepared it with extreme secrecy. Even the hotel staff didn't know there was a woman in the room at the time.

This is how Chie Maeda escaped unscathed.

"Alright, choose an auspicious day in the next few days to offer blood as a sacrifice to the gods..." Chai Gongwu instructed.

Just then, some noise came from outside.

Nuo Kua Gai Zhen Qi Zi Nao...

"What's going on outside?" Chai Gongwu asked.

After waiting for a while, a man in black entered the house and said in a somewhat panicked voice, "Master, someone has attacked us."

"What?! An attack!!"

"Could it be that those merchants attacked us?"

"Could it be the government?"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.

Suddenly,

Inside the house, some people had already stood up in panic, preparing to flee for their lives.

These people cherish life the most. After all, life for them is only about enjoyment, not suffering. In their eyes, the human world is paradise. They... don't care about going to heaven after death!

"What's the panic? Sit down, all of you!" Chai Gongwu shouted coldly.

He glanced at the members of the Chai family, their flustered appearance filling him with disappointment: 'As expected, without noble blood, one is simply not worthy of respect.'

This further solidified his resolve to improve the bloodline of the Shibamiya family.

Although Shibamiya Yosei is dead, his father, Shibamiya Ayumi, had several illegitimate children, and given that he was not even forty years old, he was bound to have children.

"Who are the attackers? How many are there? Where have they reached?" asked Chai Gongwu.

"We haven't received any news yet, but the outer perimeter hasn't fallen, so the enemy's numbers must be small. They're probably an elite squad that infiltrated to carry out the assassination," the man replied.

He indeed received no news, because none of the men sent there had returned; the other side was like a black hole, swallowing their lives.

Upon hearing that the attack on the outer perimeter had not failed and was merely an assassination squad, Shiba Miyamoto immediately calmed down.

He's encountered assassinations before.

'However, the fact that they were able to infiltrate the manor suggests they're quite capable.'

'But that's all.'

Chai Gongwu was full of confidence. With the military strength in this manor, it would be absolutely safe as long as the army did not launch a large-scale attack. Moreover, even if the army came, it would be difficult to swallow them whole.

He began to analyze the attackers' situation.

"The government can't possibly take action against us. Even if they did, we would have heard about it."

"The most likely candidates are those businessmen."

"Clear the area. Deploy my direct subordinates around this palace. Send everyone else out to deal with the intruders as quickly as possible, leaving no survivors."

"Also, bring out all those automatic rifles, submachine guns, RPGs and the like."

This isn't Tokyo, nor is it downtown Aomori. As long as the aftermath is handled cleanly and the outside world is told it was a gas pipeline explosion, that's fine.

Shii Gongqing said, "Hi!"

"Oh, right... remember to call the police!" Chai Gongwu added.

"Huh? Hi!"

Clear the answer, then get up and make arrangements.

Chapter 309 Slaughter

Tap, tap, tap, tap...

Kouta walked slowly out of a palace, carrying a samurai sword. Behind him lay a jumble of corpses, most of them broken in two, their blood and internal organs spilling everywhere. The sheer number of corpses had created several streams of water that slowly flowed down the steps in front of the palace…

The thick stench of blood permeated the air and could be smelled even from dozens of meters away.

Kouta stepped out through the blood, but strangely, not a single drop of blood got on his body, and even his shoes were clean.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that with each step Kouta takes, the shoes seem to possess an invisible force field that pushes the bloodstains on the ground aside the moment they make contact with the ground.

"Isn't this the one too?" Kouta murmured, noticing that there were no people of high status in the palace behind him.

He had already gone to the wrong destination twice along the way.

The knife in his hand was something he picked up casually in the first palace, something he discovered by chance: the nameless force field on his body could be infused into the knife.

Such a knife, while not necessarily capable of cutting through iron like mud, can at least cut a person in two without any resistance.

Upon discovering this, Kouta felt like he had wings, since a sword is far more efficient at killing than a fist.

Although he hadn't learned any swordsmanship, he only knew one move that ordinary people could do—slashing!

Other words such as: cut, chop, slash, intercept, scrape, flick, stab, snipe, split, entangle, fan, block, slide... I don't understand them at all.

However, when speed and power overwhelm the opponent by several orders of magnitude, the most basic strike is... invincibility!

If you encounter someone, chop them down!

If you encounter two people, chop them twice!

You encounter a group of people, and as you keep hacking and slashing... they all die.

They couldn't even escape; many of them had knives at his neck, but he didn't react at all because they were moving too fast!

Below the palace steps.

More than thirty bodyguards in black gripped their pistols and aimed them at Kengtai on the steps.

The man at the front, who seemed to be the leader, looked at the man wearing the 100-yen blue demon mask sold on the street with a solemn and suspicious expression.

When they arrived, all they could hear were bursts of gunfire and incessant screams coming from inside the palace…

The screams were so terrifying that they couldn't imagine what kind of battle they had encountered that would produce such wailing, so they didn't dare to go in to provide support, and instead chose to wait outside for the enemy to come to them.

The screams lasted for about ten seconds before ending.

Now they saw the existence of two squads that had been wiped out!

Unlike the fully armed modern soldiers one might expect.

The opponent was just one person, and his weapon was merely... a knife?!

He felt that his values ​​were no longer valid.

knife!?

This obsolete stuff?!

Can this thing really kill two squads of firearms?

Is he possessed by the Sword Saint?

No, even if the Sword Saint Miyamoto Musashi were resurrected, he still couldn't win against a dozen or so pistols!

"Fire! Kill or live!" he roared.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

Instantly, the thirty-odd people surrounding the area pulled the trigger.

In an instant, over thirty pistols spewed fire, bullets shooting from the barrels at supersonic speeds, covering a distance of over ten meters in a flash, tearing through the air with penetrating force, determined to rip Kouta to shreds.

just,

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang...

A series of afterimages of arms flashed before Kouta's eyes, as if countless hands had instantly sprouted from his arms, while the sword in his hand vanished completely—no! The speed was too fast for their eyes to follow.

All that could be seen was a series of sparks in the air three feet in front of him, accompanied by a huge roar of metal colliding and tearing apart. Countless bullets that were split or bounced off pierced through the stone slabs on the ground, leaving behind black holes scorched by the high temperature of the explosions...

……

In an instant, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

What did they see?

A knife slices through a bullet! ???

This looks like a knife splitting a bullet!

This looks like a knife cleaving through a bullet!
