"Shiluwa, by that calculation, I'm almost forty, right?" Xutark counted on his fingers, a surprised expression on his face. "I can't tell at all!"
The trendy outfit, the perfect figure, and the love of playing music make Xiluwa in the light curtain look like a girl in her twenties, completely different from the middle-aged aunts in their world.
"How rude! How can you judge a woman's age based on her appearance?" Fulilian awkwardly tapped her finger. "If you're judging based on my appearance, then I'm still ignorant—"
"...Lord Frilian."
Philen, who was combing Fulilian's hair, sighed helplessly: "You are a great magician who has lived for a thousand years. Please stop pretending to be young."
"Just as they were about to leave, the door suddenly rang. Shiluwa then remembered that Jeppard had said he would come today!"
"She quickly asked everyone to hide in the room first."
"Jeppad's arrival suddenly made the atmosphere in the room tense. He came to repair the barrier installations on the front lines. Fortunately, Shiluwa reacted quickly and the group was not exposed."
"After Jeppard left, Shiluwa had a few people disguise themselves and openly took them to the restricted area to "repair" the energy pipeline."
"Thanks to Shiluva's reputation on the front lines, the group advanced smoothly at first. However, when they encountered a Silver Mane Iron Guard captain named Dunn, he exposed Shiluva's lies because he knew her too well."
"Everyone inevitably fought him, and then... Dunn was knocked unconscious by Xing's stick, and fell into a baby's sleep on the spot."
"But before he fainted, he still sounded the alarm on the front line and successfully passed on the news that Shiluwa was with the wanted criminal."
"This Iron Guard brother is worthy of his identity and responsibilities!" Inside the New Eridu Police Station, Seth watched the battle between Dunn and Xing intently while recording his words in a notebook.
Dunn said it so well, especially the line "My rock soul is to uphold the dignity of soldiers!", which made Seth's tail stand up.
"Senior, Dunn is a competent Iron Guard. If Xing and the others take action, won't it be too..." Zhu Yuan couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw Dunn fainting on the ground. They must be the soldiers who stick to the front line.
"Zhu Yuan, many things are not about right or wrong, but about different standpoints. Xing and Dunn are not wrong...what is wrong is this cold wave, this disaster." Qingyi held the steaming teacup and blew gently.
"Just like you and Ropesmith, Zhu Yuan, you are keeping the residents safe in the city, and Ling is using Bomb to guide and assist in the hollow. You are both right, but if you encounter... ahem."
"Senior!" Zhu Yuan was a little angry when this matter was mentioned. After all, he was the one who had been deceived. "If they do anything out of line, I will show no mercy!"
Hearing this, Qingyi's expression moved subtly, and suddenly he revealed a not-so-serious smile.
"Zhu Yuan, I didn't realize you're quite arrogant."
"After obtaining the key, the few of us successfully turned the bridge around and reached the last pass leading to the front line, but by now, Jeppard had already led his men to firmly guard this place."
"Seeing Shiluva and a group of wanted criminals forcing their way into the restricted area, Jeppard was furious and started a heated argument with Shiluva. However, Shiluva stood firmly on Xing's side this time and would not waver no matter what Jeppard said."
"Things have come to the point where we have no choice but to take action."
Zhu Yuan: "Senior, I remember they initially planned to... 'outsmart' us, right?"
Qing Yi waved her finger. "You don't understand this, Zhu Yuan. Just like in games, the best assassination method is to charge head-on and kill all the enemies. In life, the best way to outsmart the opponent is, of course, to catch them off guard and knock them out with a stick."
Zhu Yuan suddenly realized: "This... is this the life experience of the seniors? I see!"
Chapter 58 Miyamoto Musashi, can you cut through Jeppard’s defense?
"As a Silvermane Iron Guard officer, Jeppard's fighting style is quite simple and brutal."
"To put it simply, it means giving yourself a crazy shield."
"He had the aura of being able to knock out a group of Rift Monsters with a single punch... He put a shield on his own people. But the shield was quite powerful. Xing, Xi'er and the others surrounded him and beat him up, but Jeppard didn't suffer much damage."
"Xing even felt that Doommon was like a fragile creature in front of Jeppard's shield."
"Being able to cope with such frequent attacks, I guess the muscles under his armor are shining." In the Hero Association, Superalloy Darkshine, who is famous for his "defense", put down the one-ton dumbbell in his hand. He looked up at Jeppard's battle and sighed.
After the guard beside him fell, only Jeppard was left standing on the field. After all, two fists are no match for ten hands, and under the fierce attack of five people, Jeppard gradually began to show signs of weakness, unable to withstand the force.
"Jeppad... If you can train with me, you will definitely be able to develop muscles like mine in less than three months, and then you will be able to defend against the attacks of Xier and the others." Superalloy Black Light sighed.
That being said, Superalloy Darkshine still didn't dare underestimate Seele and the others. After all, even the King, known as "the strongest in the human race," spoke highly of a little girl among them...
"Superalloy Darkshine, would you consider creating a suit of armor similar to Jeppard's?"
The Hero Association staff member who arranged Black Light's training said, "Child Emperor had previously observed Jeppard's battle and was quite interested in his defensive device that resembled a violin case."
"If you want, Child Emperor can also help you build a set of armor and a defensive device like a guitar case, so that you can be more handy when dealing with monsters."
"Well, thank you for your kindness, but I won't have to."
Superalloy Black Light glanced at the silver armor on Jeppard and shook his head. "My muscles would cry if I were wrapped in that stuff."
"'A body tempered to perfection is the best armor'—please convey this to Emperor Tong. Thank you for your kindness."
The super alloy black light, which was more than two meters tall, slowly stood up. His muscles bulged all over his body, like a dark heavy fortress. Under the light in the room, his bald head reflected a shiny light.
After admiring his "perfect" muscles in the mirror, he showed a slightly confused expression.
"Hmm...are there really any weirdos who can hurt me?"
"This battle was extremely difficult. Jeppard is truly a man on the path of preserving life. It lasted a long time, and both sides were exhausted before they finally calmed down."
"It was only then that everyone remembered Bronya's letter and quickly took it out."
"After reading the letter, Jeppard's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he saw."
"Shiluwa stopped arguing with him and calmed down, saying, 'I've said everything I need to say, brother. It's up to you to decide what to do.'"
Jeppard said without hesitation, "I am a guard officer of the Silvermane Guard. It is my duty to carry out the orders of the Grand Guardian."
"Xing glanced at the bat in his hand, then looked at Jeppard: "Why don't you think about it again...?"
"…" Jeppard was silent for a moment before speaking, "But Miss Bronya is the de facto commander of the front lines. According to military regulations, when there is a conflict between the frontline command and the orders of the city builders in the rear, further orders must be awaited."
"Good boy, he's figured out the rules." Tokugawa curled his lips in regret. "Boring! I want to see a river of blood!"
Tokugawa's complaints also expressed the thoughts of Musashi and Yujiro.
There are not many strong men like Jeppard in the whole of Beloberg, especially his exquisite defensive skills, which once made Musashi astonished.
——This does not rely on the help of the star gods, but is simply the result of repeated tempering of the body and skills. If one does not go through countless life and death experiences and step through countless ghost gates, it is impossible to practice such skills.
Meanwhile, Xi'er, Dan Heng, and Xing were also working together brilliantly. Xi'er, in particular... Miyamoto Musashi believed he had experienced countless battles throughout his life, and had seen many different combat methods and weapons, but this kind of sickle-shaped... was the first time he had ever seen one.
Besides, Xier's skills were quite impressive. She had mastered this kind of speed when she was only a teenager... It really amazed him.
But at the critical moment of the fight between dragons and tigers, both sides suddenly stopped fighting, which made Miyamoto Musashi very dissatisfied.
Suddenly, a deep male voice came from outside the gate of the Tokugawa residence, interrupting the wandering thoughts of several people.
"Old man."
Standing outside the gate was a burly man, nearly two meters tall, dressed in a neat white suit and expensive snakeskin shoes. Judging solely by his attire, he looked like a corporate executive entering and leaving an office building. But when he raised his head, his face, covered in knife scars... he looked like an Asura from hell.
The man was none other than Kaoru Hanayama, the second generation leader of the Japanese underworld organization Hanayama Group.
What is totally inconsistent with his 166kg huge body and ferocious appearance is that...the imposing Kaoru Hanayama just celebrated his 18th birthday last week.
After the light curtain appeared, Tokugawa summoned strong men such as Baki, Kaoru Hanayama, Doppo Kuchi, and Retsu Kaioh to his residence to watch together. Except for Musashi and Yujiro, the first to arrive was Kaoru Hanayama.
"Well, this samurai..." As soon as he stepped into the mansion, Hanayama Xun saw Miyamoto Musashi sitting opposite Yujiro on the high platform.
For some reason, the moment Hanayama Fumio saw Musashi, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He was clearly sitting opposite Yujiro, with a valuable coffee table in front of him and the elegant courtyard of the Tokugawa family behind him. But when he focused his eyes on Musashi, Hanayama Fumio only felt that there was darkness behind him.
The darkness was so high and bottomless, it was boundless and extended infinitely... Huashan Xun only felt that the darkness seemed to want to swallow him up and extend towards him.
"Musashi, this is Kaoru Hanayama."
Seeing Hanayama coming, Tokugawa was very happy and introduced him with great interest: "Speaking of Hanayama, we have to mention the story behind him - Oh, by the way, have you heard of Xia Ke Li? In the second year of Genwa..."
"No need to waste your breath, old man."
Hanayama Xun bluntly interrupted Tokugawa, stepped into the darkness before him, and strode straight to Miyamoto Musashi. He took off his glasses, put his hands in his pockets, and looked down at his eyes that looked like magatama... and the two swords, one long and one short, at his waist.
Miyamoto Musashi was unrivaled. Legend has it that he slew countless lives throughout his life, relying on his unique and unparalleled skill, Niten Ichiryu.
And facing this deity...
"Miyamoto Musashi."
Kaoru Hanayama looked up at the people in the light curtain and slowly said, "Do you think your sword... can break through Jeppard's defense?"
Chapter 59: Ganlu Temple Mitsuri: I really want to replace Sister Shiluwa and go to the front line
"Um……"
Miyamoto Musashi did not respond to Hanayama Fumio's question immediately, but closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds.
After a brief analysis, as if confirming something in his heart, Musashi finally opened his eyes and slowly shook his head.
"Perhaps not."
"Draw and cut, it won't cut unless you draw. This sword is only useful when it cuts." Miyamoto Musashi stroked the scabbard at his waist. "Maybe it's because we are in different worlds, but I can't imagine what it would look like if I cut Jeppard in half."
Figure Eight, Large Robe, Face Cutting, Hondo, Taipo... In the past few seconds, Musashi had already "cut" through many moves in his consciousness - these were all killing moves that could kill with one blow, but unfortunately, he could imagine Jeppard's perfect defense with each move.
I can't kill him... maybe I can't even break his armor.
Surprisingly, Yujiro beside him did not object to Musashi's words. His face still had a hideous smile that was twisted with excitement.
Kaoru Hanayama narrowed his eyes slightly in disappointment.
In fact, he could feel that Musashi's words were not simply self-deprecation, but the most rational judgment of an executioner who had killed countless people and fought in countless battles of all sizes in his life.
"Jeppad didn't say he'd let Xing and the others go, nor did he say he supported Xing. Instead, he used a reasonable and legal method to directly avoid conflict with them."
He then stepped aside. "To continue north, we'll have to cross a completely eroded rift to reach the snowy plains on the other side. This will buy the Iron Guard some time before the next wave of attacks arrives."
"Everyone understands what Jeppard means. He will hold back the monsters from the Rift, buying Xing and the others precious time."
"However, Shiluwa looked at Jeppard, who had just fought a fierce battle with them and had not yet fully recovered, and finally decided to stay and help them guard the restricted area."
"Eh? Shiluwa, aren't you going with us to find the Star Core?" Sanyueqi asked in surprise."
"Brother, you can't handle this alone. I just gave him a lesson, and it's my responsibility. Besides..." Shiluwa looked embarrassed, "If I don't help, who knows what will happen in the next battle."
“I want to be with you too! I really do! The [Star Core] is so close, so close to me, I’ve always wanted to see it—”
"But my curiosity outweighs my responsibility as a daughter of the Langdao family. My brother and the safety of the front lines are more important than the star core."
"Alright, leave this to us. Let's get the Star Core before Cocolia finds out!" Silva encouraged the others.
"This Miss Shiluwa is truly understanding and righteous."
The Rock Pillar, Gyoumei of Beiming Island, clasped his hands together, and two lines of tears flowed from his blank eyes.
Although he was blind, as long as he raised his head, the contents of the light screen would be projected directly into his mind. He naturally watched the battle between Shiluwa and Jeppard.
"Wow, wow, I'm so unwilling! I really want to go to the front lines in her place. I'll help destroy the monsters that have split the world, and she can realize her lifelong dream!"
Love Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri hates this kind of scene the most. Every time she saw this kind of scene in novels in the past, she couldn't help but hide in the quilt and burst into tears. But at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, at the Pillar Meeting, she could only try hard to hold back her tears.
"Ganlu Temple, this kind of front line is no joke."
The Serpent Pillar Iguro Obanai said, "Although these Rift Monsters may not seem strong in single combat, their power is quite astonishing when they launch a massive and continuous attack."
"They're different from ghosts. Ghosts will disappear during the day, giving you time to rest and recuperate, but creatures from the Rift will attack tirelessly day and night."
"Can you imagine the demons who defeated the sun forming an army and launching continuous attacks?"
Xiao Banei's words made everyone fall into silence.
But soon someone stood up.
Wind Pillar Fuzugawa Saneya said disdainfully: "If that's the case, that's great! I don't have to look for them everywhere. If they can gather together and attack us... hehe, it's just right to catch them all in one fell swoop."
"The Immortal River..."
As if impressed by the Wind Pillar's muscular head, Iguro Obana sighed softly and slowly shook his head, saying, "Of course it's okay for demons, because the appearance of demons depends on Muzan... But the Rift Monsters will appear continuously. If the situation you describe really happens, with waves of attacks every now and then, even the Pillar will inevitably be drowned in them, right?"
"My sword should be able to handle that kind of environment." Kanroji Mitsuri gripped the scabbard with a confident expression. Her sword was forged from a special material, slender and flexible, like a streamer, perfect for killing enemies in a large area.
"Neither."
"Ganlu Temple, maybe you can handle five or six waves of Boundary Rift monsters, but what if there are fifty or sixty?"
Iguro Obanai drew out his snake-like knife and flicked his finger lightly on the blade's back, making a clear clanging sound. "Even the sharpest and hardest knife in this world will break if it strikes a certain spot for a long time, let alone facing endless attacks."
“…We can only be thankful that we were not born into the world they lived in.”
"Passing through the gate, we arrived at an urban area severely eroded by the Rift."
"Just as they were wondering how to get through, Sanyueqi suddenly noticed something on the ground in the distance. When they approached, Seele's eyes widened. It was Bronya's!"
"She's been here!"
