Zhe Shen Zi herself was worried that the Wild Soul Kirin would repeat the disaster of 20 years ago, and the Great Wild Soul in Zhe Shen Zi's body wanted to devour the power of the Wild Soul Kirin. She even went to

She arrived at the scene, but could not reveal her full strength. The power of "Zheshen Zi" alone was not enough to deal with the Wild Soul Kirin, so she had to give up temporarily.

In order to gain more power, the Great Wild Soul ordered the guards to go out and defeat more Wild Souls. Of course, defeating the Wild Souls was just a cover. What she wanted was the slag recovered after defeating the Wild Souls. She wanted to speed up the collection of slag, then restore to her full form, and then devour the Wild Soul Kirin. By then, she would have invincible power, and could connect the hidden world and the present world, destroying this present world that was already full of filth.

In this way, time soon came to the day of the swordsmanship competition. In front of the venue, the representatives of the five academies lined up to meet Origami Shiraz, and the four guards were distributed in the four corners. Shishido Maki and Konohana Suzuka stood in the front, Yan Jiemei and Gaoyue Yami stood on the left and right sides of Origami Shiraz, and Origami Shiraz herself sat on the chair in the center of the high platform.

Yan Jieya was yawning and didn't pay attention to Shido Maki's opening speech. It was not until Shido Maki announced the start of the conference that she became a little more alert.

Tsukasa also didn't take the swordsmanship tournament seriously. She noticed that the representative students of Ayanokouji Martial Arts Academy had been replaced. It was said that the two original representatives caught a cold today, so they were temporarily replaced by freshmen.

But the actual reason was that the original representatives had already completed the preliminary contract with the sword spirits, and Sagara Yui was worried that they would not be able to resist using this power in the sword competition, so she chose to give up this sword competition and sent two newcomers out to gain some experience.

The expressions of these two newcomers looked very nervous. Although they had both completed the sword contract and were considered to be quite talented, there was still a gap between them and the original representative students. They were originally brought here only to visit and learn, but suddenly they became contestants. Now they were still a little confused.

The representative student of Kamafū Girls' College was indeed Sayaka Itotsuki, whom I had met that night. Judging from her aura, Takatsuki Yuki had not yet injected her with the medicine. The other representative student had a rather ordinary resume and was probably just filling in the gaps.

What concerned Si was that the swords of two students in Minoseki Academy and Heijo Academy were exactly the same as the swords of the two swordsmen in the hidden world. Or it could be said that it was basically the same sword, but some of its power was left in the hidden world.

These two students should be the descendants of those two sword users. Judging from their facial features, they look somewhat similar. Their names are Eto Kanami and Jujo Himekawa. I wonder how strong these two are as the descendants of those two sword users.

Fujiwara no Minato left a deep impression on Si. After all, a mortal could actually use swordsmanship that was close to the realm of gods. Even with Si's knowledge, he had to admit the swordsmanship talent of this swordsman, because what was rare was not the swordsmanship that was close to the realm of gods, but that one could do this with a mortal body.

As for the last one, Osafune Girls' Academy, the reason why Si paid attention to this academy was not because of these two representative students, but through the computer data of Origami Yukari, she knew that Osafune Girls' Academy was very likely a supporter of the opposition organization "Maisura".

[Chapter 16: Assassination at the Swordsmanship Competition]

The swordsmanship competition officially began, and the first to appear were Sayaka Itozuki from Kamafuse Girls' College and another representative from Heijō Gakuen. However, just as both sides had just taken out their fake bodies, Sayaka Itozuki defeated her opponent with absolute speed the next moment the competition began. The strength she showed at that moment attracted the attention of many sword users, and even several members of the Royal Guards couldn't help but take a second look.

"Hey~ This is the aunt's favorite student. Not bad. I can't help but want to test out her strength." Yan Jieya looked at Itotsuki Sayaka with an interested expression. Her strength has improved a lot recently, but she has never fought with anyone. So now when she saw Itotsuki Sayaka's performance, she felt a little happy.

The first match ended with a brilliant performance by Sayaka Itosuki, and the second match followed, with Minoseki Academy’s representative, Mai Yanase, facing off against Osafune Girls’ Academy’s Kaoru Mashiko, a girl who looked every bit the part of a Yamato Nadeshiko, and a girl who wielded an ōdachi but was relatively petite and cute.

Mashiko Kaoru is from a famous sword family. Her sword, NeNeKirimaru, is of an exaggerated size and weight. It is a sword passed down from ancient times. The mysterious creature the size of a mouse that accompanies her is the guardian spirit of the sword.

It is said that this wild soul was once extremely brutal, but was later defeated by the user of the Ni Ni Kirimaru. No one knew what method was used to purify the wild soul without killing it, and wash away the impurities on its body. After that, this wild soul became the guardian of the Ni Ni Kirimaru, and is still firmly carrying out this mission until now.

This family is also quite unique among sword users, because they are the first wild spirits in history to coexist with humans.

However, humans do not have the means to communicate with wild souls. In addition, the Mashiko family cherishes and values ​​Ni Ni so much that even the Sword Administration Bureau cannot use any coercive measures against this wild soul. Otherwise, such a precious sample would definitely be sealed up for various research.

But apart from this incident, Mashiko Kaoru's performance was not very good, and the wild soul called Ni Ni was also pitifully weak. Although the Ni Ni Kirimaru was a powerful sword, it was also difficult to control and was not suitable for this kind of occasion. The match was eventually won by Yanagise Mai of Minoseki Academy.

The latter's performance is also quite satisfactory.

Yan Jieya had no interest in these two people at all. However, the next representative from Meinong Pass made Yan Jieya's eyes light up, because she felt that the other person had some similar characteristics to her.

Kanami Eto's first opponent was another representative from Kamfu Girls' High School. The match was not very exciting at the beginning, and Kanami Eto did not have any outstanding performance. She was even beaten unilaterally for a long time.

But just when everyone thought that the game would continue for a while, Kanami Eto suddenly used her opponent's favorite move in a counterattack, and then defeated her opponent in one fell swoop. It turned out that she had just actively accepted the beating, with the purpose of seeing all the sword skills used by her opponent.

"This guy……"

Maki Shido, Suzuka Konohana and others couldn't help but look at Kanami Eto, and found that this girl seemed to be at ease. Her opponent just now didn't even force out her true strength. In this match, Kanami Eto only used one move, and it was the opponent's move. This amazing performance made the two people in the Royal Guard couldn't help but think of the talented prodigy in their team.

Yan Jieya was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that besides herself, there was someone else who could do the same thing as her.

Surprise!

She didn't expect that in the sword-fighting tournament that she had not taken seriously before, there would be so many opponents worthy of fighting, such as Sayaka Itotsuki and Kanami Eto... She temporarily remembered these two names!

The next to appear were two newcomers from Ayanokouji Martial Arts Academy. Although their opponents were actually also newcomers, they were the strongest representative students in the academy, and the two of them were just substitutes. Due to the gap in strength, Ayanokouji Martial Arts Academy was the first to retreat from the swordsmanship tournament.

Konoha Suzuka looked at her alma mater with a look of disbelief as it was the first to leave the stage. You know, in her generation, she was the second in the swordsmanship tournament, only losing to Shishido Maki who had won the championship at that time. Yan Jieya did not participate in the competition due to age issues, but in the subsequent internal competition of the Royal Guards, she defeated Shishido Maki who had just won the swordsmanship tournament for two consecutive years. At that time, Ayanokouji Bugi Gakusha was in its heyday.

How come her alma mater became so dilapidated in such a short time?

Besides, isn't Ayanokouji Martial Arts Academy a center for the development of medicines? The students' strength shouldn't be limited to this level. Even if the full power of the medicine cannot be revealed, after the medicine is injected, the physical ability will be boosted to a certain extent.

Suzuka Konoha didn't want to believe it, but the fact was right in front of her. Ayanokouji Martial Arts Academy had indeed sent a letter to the swordsmanship tournament.

Then came the second round.

Itozuki Sayaka faced off against Jujo Himeka, and Jujo Himeka successfully defeated her. Although Itozuki Sayaka's abilities were outstanding, her heartless swordsmanship still had flaws when facing masters, and she could not use the highest level of teleportation in the swordsmanship tournament because Takatsu Yuki did not allow her to use that ability.

If the intensity of the competition was the same as in previous ones, Sayaka Itotsuki's current strength would have given her the possibility of winning the championship, but the quality of this sword competition was much higher than in the past, so Sayaka Itotsuki was defeated regretfully. However, many people could see that she still had some strength left.

Takatsuki Yuki's expression was extremely ferocious at this moment. It was her misjudgment and wrong decision that led to Sayaka Itotsuki's defeat in the second round.

In this case, can Sayaka Itotsuki still join the Imperial Guard?

Gao Jinxue was full of worry.

The game continues.

Kanami Eto is the most watched contestant, but just like in her first battle, she hasn't revealed much.

It was not until later, when she drew against Yanase Mai from the same school, that she showed some strength. However, because she was too familiar with Yanase Mai's swordsmanship, she ended the battle with an instant kill and did not reveal much.

In the end, both students from Nagafune Girls' Academy were defeated, leaving Jujo Himewa and Eto Kanami to enter the finals. In the finals, they will be able to enter the next arena and compete close to Mikami Yukari.

At this moment, Zhe Shen Zi was very close to them, only the height of two steps.

As the game began, Jujo Himeka and Eto Kanami both entered their fake bodies. Just when Eto Kanami was about to wait for Jujo Himeka to make the first move, Jujo Himeka suddenly used her ultimate move and rushed towards Mikami Yukari in the stands.

At this moment, her speed of movement actually surpassed the performance of Sayaka Itotsuki before. Even Maki Shishido and Suzuka Konohana from the Royal Guards were unable to react. Everyone looked at the sword stabbing towards Origami Shiraz in shock. Several people in the Royal Guards even thought that Origami Shiraz would die in an instant.

Because that move was too fast.

Jujo Himeka had already seen Origami Yukari. At this distance, she didn't think there was any chance that she would miss. But suddenly, a knife appeared, as if out of thin air. Origami Yukari had already grasped the sword in her hand and blocked her assassination. Suddenly, Jujo Himeka felt an unprecedented terror.

Kanami Eto below looked confused.

"what is that?"

She just saw a terrifying shadow appear behind Zhe Shen Zi. Zhe Shen Zi's sword appeared from there. It didn't seem to appear out of thin air, but it appeared out of thin air at all!

[Chapter 17: Abnormal Order]

The assassination failed, Jujo Himewa immediately used

The last bit of strength escaped from Zhe Shen Zi's attack range and fled out of the venue.

But the guards of the Origami family had already reacted at this time, and Shishido Maki rushed to intercept Jijo Himewa's escape route.

The two used teleportation to fight, and while fighting fiercely, they moved to the front of the sword competition venue.

Jujo Himewa was at a disadvantage in the battle.

Maki Shishido's current strength is beyond her expectations. Just when Jujo Himewa was ready to sacrifice herself, Kanami Eto suddenly activated the Quick Move and came forward to help her deflect Maki Shishido's pursuit.

"What!?"

Maki Shishido didn't expect that Kanami Eto was actually a companion of Jujo Himeka. She was completely unprepared and was a little embarrassed by Kanami Eto for a moment.

Jujo Hime and herself were also surprised.

After helping Jujo Himeka and forcing Shido Maki to retreat, Eto Kanami said directly:

"go!"

Jujo Himekazu didn't reply and used Teleport to escape outside. At the same time, Eto Kanami also used Teleport to follow Jujo Himekazu and escape from the venue.

Shido Maki looked angry.

At this moment, she was like an angry lion. She did not expect that Kanami Eto would suddenly help Jujo Himewa at that time, nor did she expect that Kanami Eto could find the flaws in her swordsmanship so accurately and force her to retreat.

"The sword fighting competition is temporarily suspended. Everyone present will be detained for investigation!"

At this time, Takatsu Yukina stood up to command the people from the Metropolitan Police Department. No one present acted rashly and accepted detention obediently, because the assassination of Origami Yukari was a very serious national event.

If you show any extreme reaction, you may be judged as an accomplice of those two people and may be killed on the spot.

The Metropolitan Police Department then issued a wanted order for the two men, and the five academies that participated in the swordsmanship tournament were questioned, and it was finally concluded that the only traitors were the two who escaped. Except for the people from Minoseki Academy and Heijo Academy, the people from the other academies were released.

The Royal Guard was also in the Metropolitan Police Department at this time, using all tracking and surveillance methods to pursue the two fugitives. However, the other party seemed to have strong anti-reconnaissance skills, and under the dragnet-like surveillance cameras, they were unable to find them for a while.

The current location of the two fugitives can only be roughly determined within a certain range, and police forces will need to be deployed to search for them within this large area.

It is hard not to suspect that there is a traitor inside the Metropolitan Police Department. Otherwise, even if the swordsman possessed the ability to accelerate time, he would not be able to evade surveillance so cleverly.

But now is not the time to find out the traitor. Someone actually dared to assassinate the head of the Origami family at the swordsmanship competition. This is an infringement on the Origami family. If these two fugitives cannot be arrested as soon as possible, the Origami family will lose all their face.

The Royal Guard also made serious mistakes in this incident. Not only did they fail to detect the assassin in time, they also failed to stop the assassination in the first place.

In the end, the assassin even escaped from the scene after the assassination failed, which had a huge impact on the reputation of the Royal Guard.

People did not question Origami Shizukuri as the "hero who saved the country", but there were many voices questioning the ability of the Royal Guards.

They had previously failed in the battle to subdue the wild souls, and were now unable to protect Lady Origami Murasaki. These two things had wiped out all the achievements of the Royal Guards in the past two years, and for a moment, all they could hear were voices questioning their abilities.

The scene was live broadcast at the time, so many people were questioning why only Shishido Maki was the one who intercepted the fugitive, and why the other three guards did not move. Even though the official explained in a timely manner that the main task of the guards at the time was to ensure the safety of Lady Origami Murasaki, many netizens still did not accept this statement.

Because many people, through the live video, felt that Origami Yukari did not need the protection of the Royal Guards at that time. After all, when the Royal Guards failed to react in time, Origami Yukari herself easily blocked the assassin's attack. Not only did the Royal Guards fail to react in time, but they also didn't know what they were doing afterwards, and they couldn't even leave anyone behind.

However, what most people don’t know is that after Jujo Himeka and Eto Kanami escaped, it was Origami Yukari who ordered not to pursue them. Otherwise, under the circumstances at that time, the angry Shishido Maki would definitely continue to chase the two.

Even now, when Origami Shizukuri arrived at the Administration, she immediately said to the Guards: "No need to continue chasing!"

Shido Maki and Konohana Suzuka were stunned. They didn't understand what Origami Shizu was doing. But Origami Shizu had no intention of explaining. She just said, "I have my own plan for this matter. Now is not the time for you to take action."

Shido Maki and Konohana Suzuka frowned, feeling that Lady Origami Murasaki's words seemed to mean that she was planning to use these two assassins. Could it be...

Is this incident related to "Dancing Grass"?

Just as the two nodded in agreement, Takatsu Yukina suddenly rushed in with Itozuki Sayaka, and started accusing the two of them as soon as they came in.

"What are you doing here? You haven't even found the location of the two fugitives yet? Do you still have the nerve to be Lord Zi's personal guard?"

"Principal Gao Jin..."

"Xue Na, you have nothing to do here."

Before Shido Maki and Konohana Suzuka had the chance to explain to Takatsu Yukina, Orishami Shizukuri interrupted her.

"Go back to your original position now and don't let me down.

Snow."

"Master Zi...Yes, I will definitely respond to your expectations!"

Gao Jinxue answered with a pious look on her face.

After giving all the orders, Origami Shizukuri left. But as soon as Origami Shizukuri left, Takatsu Yukina's expression became extremely ferocious, and she shouted at Shido Maki and Konohana Suzuka, "What are you still standing there for? From now on, I will be in charge here. Find the location of those two damn fugitives immediately!"

Shido Maki and Konohana Suzuka were stunned.

This goes against Lord Zi's orders.

Konoha Shoushouhua said, "Master Zi said that we cannot attack without permission."

"So are you going to leave the assassins alone? This is your problem! Not being able to chop off the assassin's head on the spot means there is a big problem with your guards! Or are you actually in cahoots with the two assassins!?"

Gao Jinxue is crazy.

She would never allow the assassin to live.

Even if this goes against Zhe Shen Zi's orders.

When Konohana Suzuka and Shishido Maki saw her like this, they knew that there was no way to communicate with her, but the problem was that Takatsu Yukina had more authority than them, and in the absence of Origami Yukari, they could only do as she said, and the most important point was that they were not very clear about what Origami Yukari was thinking.

Because it is impossible for Origami Shizukuri to not know what Gao Jinxue Na would do, but Origami Shizukuri did not impose any more restrictions on Gao Jinxue Na.

Therefore, Gao Jinxue's actions at this time were most likely the intention of Zhe Shen Zi.

[Chapter 18: What kind of comic plot is this?]

When Zhe Shen Zi returned to the Zhe Shen family, she immediately received the report that Yan Jieya had attacked without authorization. She just had a blank expression on her face, showing no emotion. She took out her cell phone and dialed Yan Jieya's number.

Although she couldn't hang up the phone, Yan Jieya smashed the phone directly. Hearing the noise, Zhe Shen Zi had to put down the phone and started contacting the Zhe Shen family's assassins to track down Yan Jieya.

She couldn't let Yan Jieya ruin her plan. Thinking of this, a dangerous red light flashed in her eyes.

In fact, Origami Shizukuri had long known that Maigusa had had contact with Jujo Himeka, but Jujo Himeka's assassination was indeed beyond her expectations. However, this accident was a good thing for her, because she originally planned to catch the tail of Maigusa's organization through Jujo Himeka.

Now that Jujo Himeka is facing a wanted list due to the failed assassination attempt, Maigusa's group will definitely contact Jujo Himeka. As long as they are sure that Jujo Himeka is not a spy from the Origami family faction, Maigusa may accept this talented swordsman as a core member.

Then, the tracker she had placed on Jijo Himeka during the battle would be able to play a role.

Find the secret base of Wukusa.

Destroy the dancing grass!

This is why she let Jujo Himeka and Eto Kanami go, but if the Administration did not take any action, the people of Maigusa would find it strange, so even though she knew that Takatsu Yukina would not obey her orders, she still did not revoke Takatsu Yukina's authority and allowed Takatsu Yukina to continue the pursuit.

And because of her order, when the royal guards chase, they will be careful not to harm the lives of Jujo Hime and Eto Kanami, and when Maigusa's people see this, they will definitely come out to rescue them.

Then, next, Jujo Himeka can take her to find the secret base of Maigusa.
