Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

"kill!

! ”

Xuan Jian's eyes narrowed, and a visible dark red killing intent surged from his body, even the moonlight seemed to be tinged with blood.

"Gudong"

Sensing the terrifying killing intent emanating from Xuan Jian, Mo Ya and Bai Feng couldn't help but swallow nervously, while the other Hundred Birds Assassins unconsciously took two steps back.

Xuan Jian slowly raised the black and white swords in his hand, pointing them at Suzuki Seimei's eyes, and said in a chilling tone: "Today I will personally break your Supreme Hardness Technique!"

Whether it was the former general of Wei or Dian Qing who mistakenly killed Wei Qianqian, their display of unparalleled strength and skill left an indelible mark on Xuan Jian's heart.

Xuan Jian's intuition told him that if he could kill Suzuki Seimei, he could break the shadow of his extreme hardness in swordsmanship, and his stagnant swordsmanship would undergo a new transformation.

Suzuki Seimei, whose killing intent had been locked onto by Xuan Jian, waved his hand without changing his expression and said, "Then let me see just how far you're capable."

The right blade takes lives, the reverse blade suppresses souls!

!

"boom!

! ”

At the peak of his power, Xuan Jian unleashed his strongest killing move without hesitation. Sweeping with violent killing intent, he was like a prehistoric beast, baring his sharp fangs, and lunging at Suzuki Seimei.

Under the somewhat worried gazes of Mo Ya and the others, Xuan Jian's black and white twin swords pierced Suzuki Seimei's eyes with lightning speed.

"Ding! Ding!"

"How is this possible?!"

To Xuan Jian's disbelief, his strongest killing move was blocked by Suzuki Seimei's eyelids, producing only two crisp metallic clanging sounds.

"Impossible! I don't believe it!"

! ”

Xuan Jian's eyes widened suddenly. He poured all the innate true energy in his body into the black and white swords and stabbed them down with all his might.

"Kakaka"

With a series of crisp sounds, the black and white swords in Xuan Jian's hands could not withstand such terrifying pressure and were broken into two pieces.

"boom!

! ”

Just as Xuan Jian was in a state of existential doubt, Suzuki Seimei suddenly swung his right fist and punched him squarely in the chest.

"puff"

Having exhausted his innate true energy, Xuan Jian, facing such a heavy blow, uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood mist and was sent flying dozens of meters away like a rag doll by a single punch.

Under the awe-inspiring gazes of Mo Ya and the others, Suzuki Seimei slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his slightly sore eyes with his fingers.

Xuan Jian's sword strike just now was indeed powerful. If Dian Qing were here, he might have actually had his eyes pierced by Xuan Jian's black and white swords.

However, Suzuki Seimei is different from Norikae. With the enhancement of his Bull Body bloodline skills, his defense is at least twice that of Norikae.

Most importantly, Suzuki Seimei also possesses the passive skill "Bronze Head and Iron Teeth," which increases his head defense by five times.

Therefore, although Suzuki Seimei's eyes may seem fragile, their actual defensive power far exceeds that of his limbs and body.

"That's all for today!"

After killing Xuan Jian with a single punch, Suzuki Harumi waved to Mo Ya and the others and said, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going back to rest now."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ya and Bai Feng quickly bowed and responded.

Watching Suzuki Seimei's retreating figure, Mo Ya and Bai Feng subconsciously exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and awe in each other's eyes.

Because of the presence of Aizen and Li Maozhen, two sword slaves, Mo Ya and the others subconsciously believed that Suzuki Seimei's strength was very weak.

Now, witnessing firsthand how a top swordsman like Xuan Jian couldn't even break through Suzuki Seimei's defenses and was killed by a single punch, Mo Ya and the others realized they were wrong.

Suzuki Seimei's strength is probably greater than Aizen's and Li Maozhen's, which is why they willingly call themselves sword slaves.

Meanwhile, in a secluded tower in Xinzheng City, the current General Wei Zhuang of Han is fighting with a powerful swordsman, who is none other than Gai Nie, another successor of the Guigu School!

"Ding ding ding"

Because Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie were evenly matched, they exchanged hundreds of blows without a clear winner. Their violently flying sword energy nearly destroyed the towering city wall.

Fortunately, Wei Zhuang is now the Grand General of Han, and the patrol guards in Xinzheng City are under his jurisdiction. Otherwise, they would have been surrounded by the patrol guards long ago for causing such a commotion.

Spanning all directions!

Hundred-Step Flying Sword!

After exchanging hundreds of blows without a clear victor, the two exchanged a glance and simultaneously unleashed their strongest sword techniques.

"hold head high!

! ”

As two dragon roars rang out, two black and white dragon-shaped sword energies appeared out of thin air and collided fiercely.

"boom!

! ”

Under the aftershocks of the battle between the two dragon-shaped sword energies, the roof of the city tower was directly blown off and torn to pieces by the violent sword energy before it could even land.

"Whizzing!"

The two figures simultaneously retreated rapidly, landing on two broken beams, their cloaks rustling.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang stared at each other for a moment, then Gai Nie suddenly asked, "You knew I was here?"

"There is only one place in the entire city of Xinzheng that can be used for both advance and retreat, both vertically and horizontally; it is called the Heavenly Pivot!"

Wei Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "If you really come to Xinzheng City, then you will definitely be here."

Gai Nie declared loudly, "The Heavenly Pivot is the guiding principle of Heaven and humanity; to go against it, even if one succeeds, one will surely fail!"

"In all things, the round or square doorway is the first priority. Even if it is covered up, it can be restored, and it will not lose its proper measure."

Wei Zhuang nodded slightly halfway through his sentence and said, "It seems you have not neglected your master's teachings."

Gai Nie laughed loudly: "The common people are in turmoil, and the world is in chaos!"

"Of all the schools of thought, only I, the Strategist, am the most outstanding!"

Before Gai Nie could finish speaking, Wei Zhuang immediately followed up, saying, "It's been a long time, Senior Brother."

Gai Nie said with a face full of relief, "Xiao Zhuang, I didn't expect that in just three years you would already be the Great General of Han."

Wei Zhuang shook his head and said, "It's just luck!"

Wei Zhuang wasn't entirely being modest; rather, he admitted that his rise to become the Grand General of Han was largely due to luck.

If it weren't for the fact that Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou had both been killed, and that King An of Han urgently needed someone who could stabilize the army and not threaten his throne to serve as the new Grand General of Han, such a good opportunity would not have fallen into Wei Zhuang's lap.

Gai Nie laughed and said, "Xiao Zhuang, luck is also a part of strength."

For Wei Zhuang, the sudden killing of Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou could indeed be considered a stroke of luck.

However, this matter can only be considered an opportunity, an opportunity for Wei Zhuang to compete for the position of Grand General of Han.

If Wei Zhuang hadn't been so powerful and skilled in military strategy, he wouldn't have been able to pass the test set by King Han.

Simply put, there are many opportunities in this world, but very few people are able to seize them; that's a testament to ability.

"Who goes there?!"

Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie's expressions suddenly changed, and they both turned to look in one direction.

Dressed in brocade robes, Li Maozhen strode out of the darkness with an imposing air, and declared in a loud voice, "I have heard that the Ghost Valley School's Vertical and Horizontal Sword Technique, when combined with two swords, is considered the number one offensive sword technique in the world. I have long wanted to see it for myself, and I humbly request your guidance!"

"Who are you?"

Wei Zhuang said with a solemn expression, "Senior brother, this person is named Li Maozhen. He is one of the two great sword slaves under Qin Ming. His strength is unfathomable. Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou died by his sword."

""

When Gai Nie heard Wei Zhuang say this, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his expression became serious.

Although Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou are not among the top experts, their strength is comparable to that of Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie.

Since Li Maozhen was able to kill Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou, he could naturally threaten the lives of Gai Nie and the others as well.

"It seems you two are unwilling to draw your swords first. Then I'll take my leave!"

"Whoosh!"

As soon as Li Maozhen finished speaking, the floor tiles beneath his feet shattered instantly, and his tall figure appeared behind Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie as if he had teleported.

"Zeng! Zeng!"

Sensing the terrifying pressure coming from behind, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie instantly drew their swords and swept them horizontally behind them.

"Clang! Clang!"

With two crisp metallic clangs, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie simultaneously felt a tremendous force coming from the sword, preventing them from advancing an inch!

Li Maozhen used his left arm to block Wei Zhuang's Shark Tooth Sword, while simultaneously raising his right knee to block Gai Nie's sword.

"If the Ghost Valley School's Vertical and Horizontal Sword Technique only has this little power, I will be very disappointed."

As soon as Li Maozhen finished speaking, he used his left arm and right leg to simultaneously send Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie flying.

"Senior brother!"

"Xiao Zhuang!"

Using the momentum, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie were forced back several meters. They exchanged a glance and then simultaneously unleashed their strongest killing moves.
