Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Faced with the fierce sword attacks of Daoist Tiansong, Tian Boguang did not even need to get up. He remained seated, drew his sword, and parried twenty or thirty sword strikes with ease.

Tian Songdao's expression turned serious as he failed to break through the defenses. He thought to himself, "This is bad! I didn't expect this silver thief to be so powerful. He's probably even stronger than Senior Brother Tianmen."

Tian Boguang has roamed the martial arts world for so many years without being killed, not only because of his superb lightness skills, but also because of his exquisite swordsmanship.

Although Tian Boguang's strength was not top-notch, it was still at the level of the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Of the five leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, only Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun could truly surpass Tian Boguang. The other three leaders were roughly equal to him.

In order to avenge Chi Baicheng, Daoist Tiansong used all his strength from the start, but he couldn't even get Tian Boguang to get up. Looking at Tian Boguang's relaxed and carefree appearance, he couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.

"Boring!"

Sensing that Master Tiansong's swordplay was weakening, Tian Boguang seized the opportunity, cleaved the sword in Master Tiansong's hand with a single stroke, and then went straight for his vital heart.

"My life is over!"

Just as Daoist Tangsong thought he was about to perish, a large, fan-like hand suddenly reached out from behind him, grabbed his shoulder, and pulled him back half a step, allowing him to avoid the deadly knife.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Daoist Tiansong. You are rewarded with four years' worth of [Pure Internal Energy], which you can claim at any time."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Seimei's lips curled up slightly, and then his gaze fell on Tian Boguang, whose face was full of solemnity.

At this moment, Tian Boguang had no time to pay attention to Suzuki Seimei, the little devil; his attention was entirely focused on Li Maozhen.

Li Maozhen is 197 centimeters tall, and just standing there puts a lot of pressure on people.

Moreover, Li Maozhen possessed an aura of dominance, which, combined with his handsome face, made those who saw him feel ashamed of themselves.

Tian Boguang, who was being targeted by Li Maozhen, felt immense pressure, much like when he first entered the martial arts world and unintentionally encountered that fierce tiger with piercing eyes.

Danger! Danger! This person is extremely dangerous!

Tian Boguang felt every hair on his body was warning him, and he wished he could turn around and run away.

But Tian Boguang's intuition told him that if he dared to turn around and run away, he would probably die an even more miserable death!

Li Maozhen stared intently at Tian Boguang with his heterochromatic eyes and asked in a magnetic voice, "Ming'er, do you still remember what our family's three rules are?"

"Of course I remember!"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Seimei nodded vigorously and said, "Those who betray their country for personal gain shall be killed!"

Those who betray their master and ancestors shall be killed!

Those who steal silver and plunder, kill them!

"Then kill them!!!"

As soon as Li Maozhen finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force with both feet, shooting out like an arrow released from a bow.

"Oops!"

Sensing the violent killing intent emanating from Li Maozhen, Tian Boguang's expression changed drastically. He unleashed the full power of the "Whirlwind Blade Technique," slashing at Li Maozhen's vital points, attempting to fight to the death and seek survival!

Clang!

Just as Tian Boguang's single-edged sword was about to strike Li Maozhen's neck, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the sharp sword with his bare hand.

o(?Д?)っ!

Before Tian Boguang could recover from his shock, Li Maozhen's left hand transformed into a palm and swiftly pressed down on his chest.

Chapter 426 A Born Sword Heart

"boom!!!"

Tian Boguang felt a tremendous force strike him, and his body flew backward uncontrollably, smashing the table in front of Linghu Chong and the others. He slid several meters on the ground before coming to a stop.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in as Tian Boguang. You are rewarded with a complete copy of the Great Mastery of the 'Whirlwind Blade Technique'. You can claim it at any time."

Hearing the pleasant system notification, Suzuki Seimei's lips curled into a slight smile as he casually tossed away the single-edged sword in his hand, controlling Li Maozhen.

Upon noticing Li Maozhen's unharmed hand, Linghu Chong's pupils constricted sharply, and he thought to himself, "What incredible hard skill!"

Tian Boguang was no trash like Yu Renyan; his strength was comparable to the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and his sword was naturally not so easy to block.

With the defensive enhancement provided by the advanced level of the "Golden Bell Cover" technique, Li Maozhen could indeed be impervious to blades and spears, but at most he could only block the sharp blade attacks of third-rate martial arts masters.

To block Tian Boguang's sword without taking any damage, the defensive enhancement provided by the advanced level of "Golden Bell Shield" alone is not enough, unless Suzuki Seimei can master the perfect level of "Golden Bell Shield".

After all, a master knife wielder like Tian Boguang, with decades of internal energy enhancement, could easily cleave a half-inch-thick iron plate with a single full-force strike.

Therefore, the slash Tian Boguang just made had actually broken through Li Maozhen's defenses, and the blade had cut through his flesh.

However, Li Maozhen's true form is a "substitute doll," and there is no blood or anything like that in his body. So even if his palm is cleaved open, outsiders will not see any blood flowing out and will subconsciously think that he is not injured.

Moreover, at the same time Li Maozhen casually threw away the single-edged sword, Suzuki Seimei had already secretly used up a bit of his strength to restore his damaged palm to its original state.

It was precisely because of this that Linghu Chong felt Li Maozhen's martial arts skills were remarkable, as he was able to ignore the attacks of a master like Tian Boguang.

"You... poof..."

With a face full of resentment, Tian Boguang pointed at Li Maozhen, but before he could utter the word "you," he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, and died on the spot.

Upon seeing that the villain Tian Boguang had been instantly killed by Li Maozhen, Daoist Tiansong was both surprised and delighted. He hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I am Tiansong. Thank you for saving me, hero. You have rid the martial world of such a great scourge."

Li Maozhen said calmly, "It's alright! What I hate most is the flower thief. Since I've encountered him here today, there's no reason for me to let him go."

"Great hero, may I ask your name?"

Master Tiansong cupped his hands and said, "I have received a great favor from you today, and I will remember it forever. If you ever have any instructions in the future, I will go through fire and water for you!"

Since Li Maozhen was able to kill Tian Boguang in an instant, it means that his strength far surpasses that of the leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Daoist Tiansong naturally wanted to take this opportunity to win him over.

"I am Li Maozhen."

Li Maozhen maintained his aloof demeanor, glanced at Chi Baicheng's corpse, and said indifferently, "Your junior nephew is quite a man, Daoist Master, you should bury him as soon as possible!"

Sensing the distance in Li Maozhen's tone, Daoist Tiansong felt embarrassed to say anything more and said apologetically, "Great Hero Li, then this humble Daoist will take his leave now."

After saying this, Daoist Tiansong picked up Chi Baicheng's body and quickly left Huiyan Tower.

On the other side, Suzuki Seimei acted like a little money-grubber. First, he picked up the single-edged sword that Li Maozhen had casually thrown away, and then he ran to Tian Boguang's corpse and looted his belongings.

Because Suzuki Seimei created the character of Li Maozhen as a cold and domineering prince, he naturally wouldn't have him bend down to collect the spoils of war.

As for Suzuki Seimei, he was just a little kid. Even if he acted like a little money-grubber, it would only make people smile and wouldn't offend them.

It must be said that Tian Boguang was quite wealthy; his silver notes of various denominations alone totaled more than eight thousand taels.

Besides the silver notes, Tian Boguang also carried many drugs, including sedatives that could knock people unconscious and drugs that could make people lose their senses and become infatuated.

No wonder he's a notorious womanizer!

To prevent these drugs from falling into the wrong hands and harming people, Suzuki Seimei had to keep them safe.

After looting Tian Boguang's belongings, Suzuki Seimei walked to Linghu Chong's side, took out the [Magic Wine Jar], and poured out a colorful [Cocktail] in front of him.

"Big brother, although you are a bit weak, you are still a good person."

Suzuki Seimei handed the cocktail to Linghu Chong, grinning as he said, "This is a medicinal wine brewed by my father. It can help with recovery from injuries, so I'll give you a glass!"

"Thank you very much, little brother!"

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong glanced at Li Maozhen subconsciously. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, he quickly took the bowl of cocktail.

Linghu Chong was a drunkard, and this was the first time he had ever seen a cocktail. Even if the cocktail didn't have any healing effect, he would definitely want to try it.

"Gudong!"

After downing a cocktail, Linghu Chong's previously pale face instantly regained its rosy hue, and the three knife wounds on his body healed at a visible speed.

"This is……"

Linghu Chong was initially incredulous, touching his wounds which had fully healed. Then, a hint of gratitude unconsciously appeared in his eyes as he looked at Suzuki Seimei.

Although Linghu Chong had never drunk a "cocktail" before, this kind of medicinal wine that could instantly heal injuries must be very precious, and could even be used to save lives in critical moments.

The fact that Suzuki Seimei was willing to offer such precious medicinal wine to a stranger like Linghu Chong was enough to make Linghu Chong feel extremely favorably toward him.

"Big brother, what do you think?"

Seeing this, Suzuki Seimei smiled and patted Linghu Chong's thigh, saying, "My father's medicinal wine is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in as Linghu Chong. You are rewarded with one [Born Sword Heart], which you can claim at any time."

Effect 1 (Sword Prodigy): When practicing sword skills, the training efficiency will increase by twenty times.

Effect 2 (Peerless Swordsmanship): When using sword skills, the power is doubled.

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Seimei's smile grew even brighter.

Trading a cocktail for a "Born Sword Heart" is an incredibly good deal!

Linghu Chong had no idea how much benefit Suzuki Seimei had gained from him. He savored the taste of the cocktail he had just drunk and replied earnestly, "This medicinal wine tastes good, but it's a bit too bland."

Chapter 427 Iron Palm Unparalleled

Li Maozhen's heterochromatic eyes darted around, scanning the entire second floor. After finding no other targets who met the sign-in requirements, he finally turned his gaze to Yilin.

Li Maozhen strode over to Yilin, who was chanting sutras, and asked from above, "Little nun, what are you doing?"

Because Yilin is only about 1.6 meters tall, she has to tilt her head up when she talks to Li Maozhen.

?(????ω????)?

Looking at Li Maozhen's incomparably handsome face, Yilin blushed slightly, silently uttered a word of 'sin' in her heart, and replied somewhat timidly, "I was reciting the Rebirth Mantra for Benefactor Tian, ​​hoping that he can be reincarnated soon."

"You little nun are kind-hearted, you seem to have the heart of a bodhisattva."

Looking down at Yilin's somewhat adorable little face, Li Maozhen revealed a faint smile.
