The confrontation with such a powerful force made the demon blood in Xingxiong's body burn fiercely. When the abyss fell towards her, she could hear the beating of her heart and the surging waves of blood.

That... trembling ecstasy!

Even though he could only defend himself and was unable to launch any counterattack, just by blocking this attack, Xingxiong was clearly in a weak position, but he could no longer suppress the rage in his blood.

Fighting with the strongest is the supreme honor for a warrior!

Her bones and muscles were like steel at this moment. From her posture to her physique, every detail and every key point was impeccable!

She had to block this attack, she had to block it.

The slash landed on the giant triangular shield called Prajna.

At this moment, time seemed to stop for a second.

And then, just like a star falling from the sky, crashing to the ground with the purest violence—

Incur destruction.

Amidst the blast that was loud enough to shatter an ordinary person's eardrums, Xingxiong, who was chopped back five meters by the sword, had half of her calf sunk directly into the rubble-covered ground, and all of her teammates... not a single one was left standing.

Because no one can stand firm under an earthquake that comes suddenly and erupts with full force without any warning.

The street fifty meters behind Xingxiong was cracked and broken, as if countless ancient beasts were running wildly here, and it was difficult to find a complete part.

"Xiaoxing, Xiaoxing..."

Guan Yueli simply swung the knife and looked down at his sister who was almost half-kneeling in front of him, with a look of contempt and sarcasm:

"Is this the path you've chosen? If you abandon this shield, you still have a chance to fight me, a chance to be defeated honorably. But now, what else can you do besides stand here and take the beating?"

"You who chose to protect..."

She asked, "Did you protect your friends?"

Xingxiong, with disheveled hair, raised his head with a forced smile: "When Sister criticizes people, she is really... merciless."

"If you want me to show some mercy, that's fine."

Guan Yueli replied with a smile: "Do you want that, Xiaoxing? I can point out your mistakes like a teacher and a sister, and train your abilities."

"Is this what you want?"

"……call."

Xingxiong pulled her bloody legs out of the ground, straightened her body, and looked at Guanyueli proudly, without a trace of fear:

"Of course it's impossible."

"But I don't think you're ready to be my enemy, Xiaoxing."

"That's... Sister's misjudgment."

Xing Xiong, who was originally on the defensive, took a step forward without warning, and the green afterimage appeared in front of Guan Yueli in an instant.

Facing Guan Yueli's surprised and happy eyes, the head of the evil ghost behind Xing Xiong roared loudly!

"From the moment I met you—"

"Xingxiong is ready to become your enemy!"

The huge triangular shield began to spin wildly at this moment and hit Guan Yueli's neck mercilessly.

Guan Yueli laughed loudly and swung the sword again, just like before, without any tricks, without any rules, just the simplest...swinging the sword.

"Take this blow first, then start talking nonsense!"

This knife seemed to be mocking Xingxiong for overestimating his own abilities, and once again hit the giant triangular shield that was no different from a weapon!

Under this blow, Xingxiong, who did not take it in a defensive posture, would be thrown sideways into the building beside the street, and after breaking through four or five walls, he would fall down and lose consciousness.

——But this result occurred under a premise, that is... Xingxiong did not catch the knife.

The roar erupted again, and the ground collapsed a second time under the heavy weight. The originally large pieces of rubble were completely turned into crushed stones, but this time... the aftermath of the violence did not spread to the Guards operators in the rear who were no longer able to think normally.

Mingwang hit the side edge of Prajna's sharp corner, but Xingxiong's body... did not shake at all.

She didn't move a step.

"To this day, I still can't truly master any of the Killing Style techniques, let alone the three aspects of Ming Wang that belong only to me. But I still insist on practicing Killing Style. Besides my love for it, there are other reasons."

"Ahem..." Xingxiong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "I can...understand something that belongs to me from this."

"Killing Flow: Great Rift Without End."

"When facing an invulnerable enemy as powerful as a mountain, one must conceal a single fatal strike among a thousand swings of the sword. After a thousand collisions... one must seek the final nail in the coffin."

"Then why can't I, when faced with an irresistible, sky-shattering attack, find a flaw through thousands of trials and collisions... that can withstand this blow?"

Guan Yueli looked at her in a daze.

After a long while, he sighed softly with relief and satisfaction:

"That's amazing, Xiaoxing."

"You have accomplished a feat that is unique in this world."

Ever since Guan Yueli condensed his most advanced martial arts into the Killing Flow, no one has been able to derive anything else from it, because no one can surpass Guan Yueli in understanding this skill.

But her sister, a ghost who did not use swords as weapons, but used shields as weapons and fought to protect others rather than for the enjoyment of fighting, actually extended a completely different path from it.

In the bloody, cruel and extremely violent martial arts, she realized how to protect others.

Such a stubborn yet gentle woman is Xingxiong.

"Ahem, ahem... then can I look forward to a reward?"

Xingxiong's voice gradually weakened, and he curved his eyes and smiled brightly.

"Of course!" Guan Yueli nodded seriously, "I will agree to whatever Xiaoxing wants."

"What an itchy promise... I really want to use it for something else, but..."

The green-haired ghost straightened her spine again at this moment.

"But at this moment, at this time." She stared at Guan Yueli and said, "I want to see my sister wield the knife seriously again."

"We are enemies now, sister."

"I want to be defeated by you, fair and square, clean and easy... 'Donkiri'."

Her eyes sparkled at this moment, as if an unquenchable flame was burning.

"I'm a ghost, I'm... your sister."

Therefore, she must accept a complete and unforgettable defeat!

"...You really are good at giving me problems, Xiaoxing." Guan Yueli rubbed his head. "Swinging the knife carefully without hurting you...it's a bit troublesome."

Xingxiong laughed happily: "Ajie can agree to anything she asks for."

"Of course."

"So, sister agreed?"

"How could I not agree..." Guan Yueli couldn't help laughing. "Why would I refuse? I'm so happy that I can hardly hold back my ladylike demeanor. If I wasn't afraid of embarrassing Xiaoxing, I'd definitely be laughing with my hands on my hips."

"Well, you have to take good care of Xiaoxing and don't fall down too early."

The pale-faced Xingxiong raised his shield, like a distant mountain.

"This knife..."

Guan Yueli murmured softly: "Just think of it as a gift from me to you."

In her hand, the blade of the nodachi without an edge suddenly began to tremble.

Black fragments kept falling off the blade.

A breeze blew past, peeling off the last piece of black shell on the blade.

This knife still looked unremarkable except for its length and being completely black, but compared to before... it was completely different.

It bared its fangs, revealing... a sharp blade that seemed to be able to easily cut through mountains.

"The Wrathful Form of the Vidyaraja..."

Guan Yueli held the knife in both hands, placed it across her chest, and gently stepped forward with her tender feet, which were not covered with anything. She closed her eyes and swung the knife -

[Break the Barrier]

At that moment, the fluttering kimono was like a blooming red lotus, and the spinning Guan Yueli was as light and beautiful as a fairy dancing in the clouds. However, the Mingwang, which had turned into an angry form, also drew a complete circle in the air. The deep and gloomy black of punishment split the sky and the earth... into two.

"What a nice view……"

Xingxiong whispered softly as if in a dream.

"Are you satisfied now?" Guan Yueli smiled and put the Mingwang sword, which had been covered with black substance again, back into the sheath.

"Yes, but..." Xingxiong was a little confused. "Did Sister really... swing the sword seriously? Why is the wrathful Myōō so beautiful?"

"That's because you're stupid!" Guan Yueli said unhappily, then couldn't help laughing. "After all, you're a fool who can understand the way to protect life from the way to kill. It's not surprising that you think this knife is beautiful."

"It should be that my sister looked very beautiful when she was dancing just now..." Xingxiong tried to correct.

"Are you looking at me or that knife?" Guan Yueli hit Xingxiong's head with the sheathed Mingwang, making a loud bang.

"hey-hey……"

"No hehe!"

"Really..." Guan Yueli rolled her eyes, "You said you wanted to be cut like a warrior, and now you're acting like a spoiled child to me. Go, go."

She waved her hand at Xingxiong disdainfully, as if chasing away a kitten rubbing against her legs: "Go back to your colleague."

"Do you want me to cook tonight?"

"What are you still doing now? Just go back and be a good soldier." Guan Yueli said unhappily, "If your injuries aren't taken care of when I come to pick you up tonight, I'll dismantle the Imperial Guards."

"Good~"

Xingxiong obediently responded to Guanyueli, then limped back.

"I'm sorry, Sir Yu."

She patted Yu Jing's shoulder, who was already pale. "I've tried my best. This way, no one will object to you giving the narrow lion to my sister."

"..." Her superiors said nothing, and no one greeted Xingxiong like a hero.

It's not because they don't have this quality, but because they are no longer able to think about anything else.

After that knife, under the threat of death.

About two or three seconds later, the continuous and deafening sound of collapse finally came.

Because in this world within a hundred meters, everything except living things was destroyed by Guan Yueli's knife——

Cut into two halves.

Chapter 4.5 - Young Dragon and Evil Ghost (K)

"It seems like it has caused quite a bit of trouble..."

Guan Yueli looked back at the collapsed Hongyi Gang hall and said in a tone without any regret:

"But this should be counted as your operational losses, right?"

She looked around the ruins within a hundred meters and said confidently:

"And in the final analysis..."

The woman tilted her head and smiled brightly:

"Isn't it really your problem?"

"I originally..." The snow-white bare feet stepped on the cracked and broken ground. The sharp-edged gravel did not cut the delicate soles of the feet, but crushed them to pieces instead.

"I just wanted someone, that's all. If you had just been honest with me, it wouldn't have gotten to this point, right?"

"Ah... Fortunately, this is a slum and the residents were evacuated early. Otherwise, what kind of tragedy would have happened..."

Guan Yueli, who had passed Yu Jing, stood in front of the Guards' team. He bent down with a smile and asked the girl who was very close to him:

"Aren't you right, Officer Chen?"
