In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

This is an ambush.

But in the next moment, a sound of breaking air suddenly sounded in the center of the smoke-filled warehouse, and the three bronze tree ghouls rushing from the front had not yet reacted.

With a soft "bang" sound, half of the chests of the three ghouls seemed to explode, and a terrifying hole was shattered at the same time. From behind them, Xia Yan's figure appeared, and...

His arms were covered with a pair of blood-red Quinques, with sharp claw-like fingertips and layers of scale-like cuticles extending backwards.

The first form of armor: Dragon Claw.

Chapter 69: The Yueshan Family's Attack

Because the synthesized Quinque can freely design its shape and weapons, Xia Yan directly divided his armor into two stages.

The first stage is the dragon claws covering both arms. To be honest, the prototype is the caged hands of a certain emperor. In addition to the blood-red dragon claw design, there is also a symmetrical deep red crystal covering the back of both hands.

The main purpose of the armor at this stage is the sharp claws and fists to enhance the power and defense of hand attacks, as well as to prevent the embarrassing situation of having to activate the armor covering the whole body when encountering any small soldiers, which is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Just like... now.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

There is no need for any martial arts at all, and even his hands don't need to move. Xia Yan just needs to open his dragon claws, sprint forward quickly, and smash the dragon claws into the ghouls of the bronze trees.

Then the bodies of these ghouls, and even the defenses of their kagune, would be like paper, and the dragon claws passing through would easily shatter huge holes in their chests and heads.

To the three people, Yukinoshita, who had already arrived at the shelter, it was as if a red shadow passed by at high speed, and then the bodies of these ghouls seemed to have a large piece of flesh and blood wiped off by something, and they began to fall down one by one, gushing out blood.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and these extremely scattered ghouls intertwined among the discarded materials in the warehouse fell down one after another like dominoes.

The extremely fast killing made Wu Xu Zhenhu truly understand at this time what level of "confidence" this young junior investigator had in mind when he said "I have some confidence in my own fighting ability".

However, he and the other two were not just onlookers shouting "666" in amazement. They saw Yukinoshita unexpectedly take the initiative. After waving the light whip in a random direction, she suddenly pressed another button on the handle.

With a slight "hiss" sound, the light whip instantly disintegrated and turned into a dense Yuhe diamond-shaped lens, covered with an imperceptible layer of blue and white ice energy, which attached to the Yuhe and shot out together.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

These ice and snow feather kagune crystals shot at the ghouls that rushed in densely from the warehouse window, but most of them failed to cause fatal injuries. They just hit their kagune and bodies, making sounds like hammering iron.

Then the next moment, these ghouls who felt that the attack was painless suddenly felt their bodies become stiff and sluggish as the blue and white ice energy spread.

And following closely, a dark green Quinque seized the opportunity perfectly. Taking advantage of the moment when they paused, it opened its sharp teeth like a flower bud and bit towards their heads.

And an extremely heavy Quinque that looked like a large oil drum hanging on a metal rod swept towards them fiercely, sweeping the bodies of a row of ghouls into a bow shape and overlapping them. With the sound of bones breaking, a group of ghouls were swept away.

Even Yukinoshita gritted her teeth, wrapped the newly generated light whip around the neck of an extremely slow-moving ghoul, and then pulled it hard!

In an instant, as if scales were being scraped against flesh, a large piece of skin and flesh was scraped off the ghoul's neck, and he fell down with blood gushing out of his aorta.

"You are unexpectedly excellent, Ms. Yukinoshita!"

Amidst Mado Wuxu's slightly surprised praise, Xia Yan, who had already slaughtered the ghouls far away from their original position, also withdrew his gaze. The initial decision to ask Mado Wuxu and the others to take care of Yukinoshita was indeed an extremely correct choice.

This way he can be free from distractions...

"Whoosh!"

Perhaps they were also shocked by the speed at which he slaughtered the ghouls. At this time, an enemy with some weight finally jumped down from the second floor of the warehouse. She was wearing a mask that covered the upper half of her face, had short dark purple hair and an androgynous temperament.

At this moment, she spread out the four dark purple scales behind her waist, like rose thorns, and attacked downwards. Xia Yan looked up, but...

The next moment, he ignored the guy above his head and turned around instantly, opened his dragon claws, and used his arms as a whip, swinging them backwards along with the burst of mental energy.

Diamond shape: indestructible + strong!

"boom!"

The blood-red dragon claws collided with a two-meter-long dark green spear that attacked silently from behind Xia Yan.

The air vibrated, and at the same time, Xia Yan suddenly loosened his firm horse stance, and with the huge force coming from the spear, he slid his body backwards, avoiding the front and back attacks of the two ghouls.

But the next second, as Xia Yan was still sliding backwards due to inertia, two dark green vine-like claws suddenly shot out from the empty ground behind him and shot towards his back.

At the same time, another male ghoul jumped down from the sky, his right arm covered with dark green scale-like armor, and lunged towards him.

First, a ghoul jumped out in the air to attract attention, and then the most powerful spear attack was launched from behind without any martial ethics. After dodging the front and back attacks, he immediately followed up with an ambush trap and the next companion's linked upper and lower attacks.

Really, he starts with a triple killing move.

pity……

Fire Sky Style: Ghost Step

Xia Yan's figure flashed, and the vines shot out from the ground behind him and pierced through his afterimage. As for the ghoul above him:

The style of Cao Liu!

Xia Yan raised his left hand and gently patted the arm of the ghoul Kaku in the air, pulling his strength and making his body turn a big circle in the air, and then Kaku rushed towards the sky.

At the same time, Xia Yan opened the dragon claws on his right hand, and just as his five fingers were about to destroy the enemy's leader and pierce through the skull of the ghoul in front of him.

"boom!"

Two more vines suddenly shot out from the wall beside him. Xia Yan had no choice but to withdraw his hands for the time being and retreat lightly as if floating.

The middle-aged male ghoul in the sky rolled over after landing on the ground and moved towards his companions.

At this moment, his face was covered with cold sweat that was clearly visible to the naked eye. In that instant of confrontation, which lasted less than a blink of an eye, he truly felt the invasion of death.

It was an accident... No, it should be said that no matter how careful you are, it would be difficult to prevent the death from happening!

Just from the nonchalant attitude displayed by this young investigator during this brief encounter, one could see his terrifying strength.

Xia Yan and the three ghouls opposite him stood on either side, concentrating for a moment.

[SS-rank ghoul, "Knight of the Tsukiyama Family" Matsumae, Strength: Level 3, Purple]

[S-rank ghoul, dance path, strength: third level, white]

[S-rank ghoul, Ye von Rothwald, strength: 2nd level silver]

"Is he really from the Yueshan family?"

Xia Yan turned his gaze and focused on the leader with short black hair. She covered her right hand with armor, forming an astonishingly powerful dark green vine spear, and her left hand was wrapped with armor to form a shield. One was for attack and the other for defense. She had both mature and steady heroic spirit and cold beauty, like a woman of a knight.

"You entrusted Bronze Tree to send cannon fodder, while you yourself deployed high-level combat forces to silence me? It's within your expectations."

Chapter 70: No Holding Back

"can we talk?"

After a round of confrontation, Matsumae, the SS-rank ghoul leading the Tsukiyama family, did not immediately intend to start another battle. Instead, he asked a question of his own: "How did you know the identity of the ghouls in our Tsukiyama family?"

Generally speaking, ghouls wear masks to hide their appearance when hunting, because most of them have their own identities and even jobs in human society.

This is also done to prevent CCG investigators from coming to check the water meter.

Especially for the Yueshan family, they have built their own company to the point of going public, so they have nowhere to run.

If their ghoul identities were exposed, the only thing they could pray for was that CCG would take their connections in the business and political circles into consideration and not eliminate them.

This is also the reason why Matsumae and others rushed to the door to silence them after they knew their identities were exposed.

but……

"There's nothing to talk about."

Xia Yan stared at the heroic knight opposite him, who was holding a "spear and shield" and trying to find out something. "I haven't revealed your identity as a ghoul from the Tsukiyama family yet, so as long as you can kill me here, you can return to normal and be safe and sound. That's all!"

"As a knight of the Tsukiyama family, I will naturally remove all obstacles for the family! But... why?"

Matsumae's beautiful face, hidden beneath a lavender veil, revealed a hint of doubt. "Do you have any grudge against us? But why don't you just reveal our identities? It's obvious that if you tell anyone, you can easily destroy our Tsukiyama family."

"Heh~, don't get me wrong."

Hearing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but sneer. Although Furuta Nifuku, the final boss of Tokyo Ghoul, was a hypocritical and crazy psychopath, his evaluation of the Tsukiyama family, based on that one sentence, was still very reasonable:

"You think you live with dignity and honor, calling yourselves knights, but in reality you have a dedicated human predator team. For your own benefit, you will wantonly slaughter your own kind for food."

"Building a ghoul restaurant, playing with and killing human life at will, I could have tried to change that, but I probably haven't even thought about it, after all..."

Xia Yan thought of the character Yueshan Xi. Because he stood on the side of the protagonist and helped the protagonist, many people probably had a good impression of him. His hobbies and personality similar to Bian Tai would also be regarded as a funny feature.

But in reality, he was the one who founded the ghoul restaurant that slaughtered and cooked humans on the spot to please the customers. He is a——[Gourmet].

"You are nothing but a bunch of man-eating monsters who think you are superior to humans!"

Xia Yan murmured and made a judgment on them. Except for the employees of the Antique Cafe who fed on suicide victims and were really trying to change and integrate into the human race, who could be considered neutral, almost all other ghouls were evil to humans.

The Tsukiyama family can be said to be lawful evil, but lawful evil is still evil!

"So, please don't create any disgusting misunderstandings. The reason I didn't reveal your identities is simply because I want to kill you with my own hands!"

Xia Yan began to close his hands, clad in dragon claws, in front of him, declaring with a serious face, "I won't hold back!"

Song Qian just opened his mouth to say something, but as Xia Yan put his hands together, the two crimson crystals inlaid on the back of his dragon claw wrist instantly reflected each other, and in an instant!

"Wow!"

The bright red Quinque turned into liquid form, like an exploding wave, instantly covering Xia Yan's entire body from his arms, and before it could completely solidify.

"Ye, Wulu!"

"boom!"

Feeling the terrifying aura that was expanding in an instant, Matsumae trembled all over and his pupils shrank. He saw the bright red figure opposite him crush the ground in an instant and disappeared as a residual shadow.

She shouted hurriedly, and in the next moment, a large number of vines sprouted from the ground, walls and ceiling in front of the three of them, intertwining layers to form a solid barrier.

Unless a ghoul advances to a Hezhe through co-ghosting, the channels for improving their strength become narrower the higher they advance.

Therefore, most of the ghouls who can reach SS level but are not Hezhe have one or two unique skills.

These vines are one of the means by which Matsumae Jouyuki became an SS-rank ghoul. She can separate her kagune and bury them underground or in walls. She can summon them when needed and attack and defend at unexpected angles.

The vines that had been constantly interfering with and attacking Xia Yan were the Hezi she had separated.

Since she had ambushed here in advance, she must have made sufficient preparations. I believe that there are a lot of separated Hezi buried nearby as traps.

This ambush location is her home turf.

pity……

"It's no use!"

Entering the state of gods and demons, his mental energy exploded, and after putting on the armor, his strength and speed increased again, causing Xia Yan's strength to increase dramatically. He just casually swung a claw with his backhand, and like tearing paper, he easily tore apart the tough vine barrier in front of him.

Immediately, at extremely fast speed, he used the two fingers of the dragon claw of his other hand to pierce the eyes of the ghoul named "Ye" in front of him, who had no idea what was happening.

Moreover, Xia Yan was very merciful and did not give her time to feel the pain. He burst out with force from his right hand, and in an instant, his entire head was blown off!

[Kill S-rank ghoul Ye...]

Thus, this female ghoul who had many roles in the original work, disguised as a man and had extraordinary loyalty and love for Tsukiyama Shu, died!

"leaf!"

Following a roar filled with grief, the next second, a dark green spear appeared like a shadow, barely keeping up with Xia Yan's speed, and stabbed at him from the side.

This time, Xia Yan did not bother to swing his claws to fight. He just tightened his feet and raised his hand to grab the tip of the attacking spear.

"Ding!"

The collision between the kagune and the Quinque's claws produced a dazzling spark. At this moment, when Xia Yan completely stopped, Song Qian, who was fighting him face to face, could see his current posture clearly.

I saw that his whole body was covered with a set of armor that was mainly blood red with pure black embellishments and had clear edges and corners.

Not only does this set of armor have dragon claws on both hands, but even his feet are covered with sharp dragon toes as weapons. Further up on his calves, one can see a pair of blood-red leg knives, and on his face he wears a mask that looks like a crow's beak, covering his face.

Before Song Qian could take a closer look, Xia Yan's left hand, which was holding the tip of her gun, took the lead in exerting force. Like a heavy tank, he pushed her backwards with brute force alone.

Her feet sank deeply into the ground, leaving two grooves, but she could not stop her body from moving backwards.
