Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

The distance between him and the Hidden Blade Ronin was only a few meters.

With the strength of this "giant"'s legs, such a short distance can probably be closed in the blink of an eye.

Goto Ichiri raised her right hand and wiped the sweat that was about to drip down her chin to the ground with the back of her right hand. She looked at the Hidden Blade Ronin who was about to attack her again with a calm gaze.

"It seems... I can only give it a try."

Just now, when he was fiercely exchanging attacks and defenses with the Hidden Blade Ronin, Goto Ichiri had been thinking about how to effectively injure the Hidden Blade Ronin.

Both she and Hidden Blade Ronin are warriors with both strength and speed. Each of their attacks and defenses are extremely swift.

Because of this, even though they fought from the roof to the street, and then from the street to the bridge, and fought for more than 30 rounds, in fact, only a total of less than 2 minutes had passed.

In less than 2 minutes, Goto Ichiri deeply understood the strength and terror of the Hidden Blade Ronin.

This was Goto Ichiri's first duel with a master using a large naginata.

Even with his current physical condition, Goto Ichiri is still inferior to Hidden Blade Ronin in a simple competition of strength and speed.

Now, even though Goto Ichiri has entered the "Heart of the Mirror and Still Water", he can only barely fight the Hidden Blade Ronin to a draw and is unable to gain the upper hand.

Until now, Goto Ichiri has not hit the Hidden Blade Ronin with his sword.

And the Hidden Blade Ronin failed to leave even a scratch on Goto Ichiri.

From a micro perspective, the two are now tied.

But from a macro perspective, it is Goto Ichiri who is falling further and further behind.

If they were to get stuck in a war of attrition with the Hidden Blade Ronin, the one who would suffer the most would undoubtedly be Goto Ichiri, who has slightly weaker physical strength.

How to defeat the Hidden Blade Ronin as quickly as possible?

Just as he jumped off the roof of the public toilet, this method finally took shape in Goto Ichiri's mind.

Boom!Boom!

The Hidden Blade Ronin's feet had already stepped onto the wooden bridge, making "dong" and "dong" sounds.

At the same moment that Hidden Blade Ronin stepped onto the wooden bridge, Goto Ichiri cheered himself up in his heart.

Goto Ichiri believes that she has had some difficulty entering the second stage of Hidden Blade Ronin so far, and a big part of the reason is that her footsteps are not fast enough.

Every time she got close, Hidden Blade Ronin was ready to dodge or defend.

In that case, just make your pace faster!

How could one make his steps faster and more refined in an instant? This question was too easy for Goto Ichiri, who had already been able to mobilize some of the light energy in his body.

When Goto Ichiri felt his legs being wrapped by a warm current, the Hidden Blade Ronin had just reached the position where his naginata could hit Goto Ichiri.

The naginata struck out.

call!

The sharp blade whizzed towards me.

Goto Ichiri jumped lightly to the side like a light butterfly and jumped onto the handrail of the bridge next to him.

The Hidden Blade Ronin retracted his naginata, then thrust it forward, stabbing at Goto Ichiri, who was standing on the bridge handrail in a squatting position.

If Goto Ichiri jumped to the side again, Hidden Blade Ronin would not be surprised. After all, Hidden Blade Ronin had seen similar scenes countless times.

Facing the naginata stabbing from the Hidden Blade Ronin, Goto Ichiri dodged it as he expected.

But she didn't move aside.

Instead, he dodged in a direction that caused the Hidden Blade Ronin's mouth to drop open in shock.

Goto Ichiri, who was standing on the bridge railing, jumped forward.

He jumped onto the tip of the naginata that was stabbing towards him by the Hidden Blade Ronin with great precision.

Goto Ichiri stretched out his right foot, stepped on the back of the naginata with the toe of his right foot in mid-air, and then used the back of the blade as a foothold and force point, kicked back hard, and pushed his body straight into the arms of the Hidden Blade Ronin!

The pupils of the Hidden Blade Ronin suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to retract his sword and defend himself, but it was too late.

laugh!

Finally, the muffled sound of a blade entering the body was heard between Goto Ichiri and the Hidden Blade Ronin.

Izumi-no-Kami Fujiwara Kanesada in Goto Ichiri's left hand pierced the Hidden Blade Ronin's throat, and Uzumaki in his right hand pierced the Hidden Blade Ronin's heart.

Both swords pierced the Hidden Blade Ronin's vital points!

The Hidden Blade Ronin's wide-eyed face was right before his eyes.

"Success..."

"Finally, I defeated this guy..."

Goto Ichiri breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Stepping on the tip of the enemy's naginata in mid-air, using it as a foothold and a point of force, perhaps only by relying on the stepping stone blessed by the energy of light can this scene, which is like the reincarnation of a war god, appear.

Goto Ichiri had never tried such a bold close combat method before, so he was sweating just now.

Fortunately, her bold attack plan was successful, and Goto Ichiri finally felt relieved.

Click.

Volume 1: Chapter 232: The Immortal

A sound like a knife cutting meat was heard.

Goto Ichiri turned Izumi-no-Kami Fujiwara Kanesada and Uzumiya, making the two swords circle inside the Hidden Blade Ronin's body, and then pulled them out of the Hidden Blade Ronin's body.

The muscles of Gekai contracted due to the severe pain, which made it easier to draw the sword, but it also further aggravated the injury, making the Hidden Blade Ronin die.

Although the battle with the Hidden Blade Ronin lasted less than 3 minutes from beginning to end, the intensity of this battle, which lasted only 3 minutes, really made Goto Ichiri feel more tired.

While pulling the sword out of the Hidden Blade Ronin's body, Goto Ichiri was thinking about his subsequent action plan.

however……

Just as Goto Ichiri had just ejected Uzumaki and Izumi-no-Kami Fujiwara Kanesada from the Hidden Blade Ronin's body, the Hidden Blade Ronin's body swayed and was about to fall to the ground...

Snapped!

Goto Ichiri suddenly felt his right shoulder being grabbed by a hand as big as a palm-leaf fan!

The sudden change caused Goto Ichiri's pupils to shrink suddenly.

The owner of this huge hand like a palm-leaf fan is none other than the Hidden Blade Ronin who is supposed to be dying soon!

The Hidden Blade Ronin, who was staggering and about to fall to the ground just now, suddenly stood firm and raised his huge left hand to grab Goto Ichiri's right shoulder.

Waves of intense surprise and shock hit Goto Ichiri's brain, as if a cool breeze was whistling in Goto Ichiri's head.

The fighting instinct developed after several fierce and life-and-death battles came into play again at this moment.

Goto Ichiri's body reacted before his brain did, and he quickly retreated! He wanted to distance himself from the Hidden Blade Ronin!

She reacted quickly, reacting immediately.

But... I was still a step behind because someone else took the initiative...

Bang!

The Hidden Blade Ronin bent his right leg and used his knee to hit Goto Ichiri in the abdomen.

Goto Ichiri was hit hard in the stomach by the Hidden Blade Ronin's knee.

Goto Ichiri's body bent into a bow shape with the area hit by the knee as the center, and flew backwards. After flying a full two steps backwards, Goto Ichiri finally adjusted his body and landed steadily.

"Cough! Cough cough! Cough—!"

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Goto Ichiri started coughing violently.

Now Goto Ichiri has one good thing and one bad thing on his body.

The good thing is that her thin green and Izumi-no-kami Fujiwara no Kanesada were not lost and were still in her hands.

"The instinct honed by Goto Ichiri after several life-and-death battles" allowed Goto Ichiri to subconsciously hold on to both swords tightly even after being hit by a knee strike from the Hidden Blade Ronin, preventing the swords from slipping out of his hands.

The bad thing was that the knee strike from Hidden Blade Ronin just now made Goto Ichiri feel like his internal organs were about to shift. A sweet taste surged in his throat, and the saliva he spat out when he coughed hard was all streaked with blood.

“Damn it…!”

Goto Ichiri coughed violently while staring at the Hidden Blade Ronin who now looked very scary.

There is now a hole in the throat and heart of the Hidden Blade Ronin, which was stabbed from the front to the back of his body.

A large amount of blood oozed out from the two holes, staining most of the Hidden Blade Ronin's body red and bloody.

With this appearance, it is impossible to equate him with a living person.

However, the truth is so shocking that Hidden Blade Ronin's eyes are still full of light and spirit, and he can still kick out a powerful knee strike that Goto Ichiri has not recovered from until now.

Goto Ichiri was 100% sure that his Bo Lu and Izumi no Kami Fujiwara Kanesada had not stabbed the wrong spot just now, and they had indeed pierced the heart and throat of the Hidden Blade Ronin.

Not only did it pierce the wound, but it also turned in a circle when it was pulled out, aggravating the injury.

Either of these two injuries, a pierced throat or a pierced heart, can kill a person to the point of being irredeemably dead.

The Hidden Blade Ronin, who should have been dead, suddenly "resurrected". Goto Ichiri suddenly remembered that the Hidden Blade Ronin in front of him was actually a game character.

"So, if you don't deplete your HP, even if your injuries look serious, they won't affect your life."

"At first glance, he looks like an undead being perfect for being burned as firewood on the throne..."

As soon as the word "immortal" popped up in Goto Ichiri's mind, a terrifying wind pressure sounded in front of him.

This is the wind pressure created when the Hidden Blade Ronin swung his large naginata.

call!

The blade of the naginata whistled and slashed towards Goto Ichiri's head.

Goto Ichiri gritted his teeth and rolled to the right.

Although he dodged the slash, it was a close dodge, and the blade of the naginata almost grazed Goto Ichiri's left shoulder.

boom!

The naginata flew into the air and hit the wooden bridge, creating a large hole that led directly to the turbulent water below.

Having a hole in the throat and heart didn't seem to have much impact on Hidden Blade Ronin's strength.

The Hidden Blade Ronin raised his naginata again at a lightning speed, and then launched a fierce attack on Goto Ichiri on the wooden bridge.

And at this moment, Goto Ichiri discovered something strange about the wound of the Hidden Blade Ronin. Red blood threads emerged from the wound of the Hidden Blade Ronin like burning flames.

These flames entangled together, filling and repairing the wounds of the Hidden Blade Ronin...

"hateful……"

Goto Ichiri endured the severe pain in his abdomen and struggled to dodge the attacks of the Hidden Blade Ronin.

The knee strike that Hidden Blade Ronin just now had a huge impact on Goto Ichiri.

The knee is one of the hardest and most powerful weapons in the human body, and the one who kicked out this knee strike was the Hidden Blade Ronin, who already had amazing strength and speed.

Goto Ichiri felt as if she had been hit in the stomach by a strong elbow that shouted, "Man!"

The severe pain in his abdomen not only made it difficult for Goto Ichiri to concentrate, but also made his movements slow and stiff.

Hidden Blade Ronin also discovered that Goto Ichiri was affected by his previous sneak attack and was in a very bad condition, so he increased the frequency of his attacks and did not give Goto Ichiri any chance to breathe.

Bang!

After blasting another large hole on the bridge that led directly to the river below, the Hidden Blade Ronin quickly changed his stance and swung his sword towards Goto Ichiri's feet with a sweeping motion.

Goto Ichiri, holding Izumi-no-Kami Fujiwara Kanesada's left hand while covering his aching abdomen, jumped to the side and jumped onto the handrail of the bridge next to him.

As Goto Ichiri jumped onto the handrail, the Hidden Blade Ronin's naginata blade seemed to be equipped with a tracker and chased Goto Ichiri from bottom to top.

Goto Ichiri leaped again.

Bang!

The row of hand guards where she had just stood was swept away by the Hidden Blade Ronin like knocked-over building blocks.

Goto Ichiri fell back to the ground from the gauntlet.

Due to her poor physical condition, Goto Ichiri finally made a mistake. When she jumped away from the gauntlet, she failed to adjust her body posture in mid-air.
