383. Mercy(2/4)
"Haha, it's a pity."
Tong Mo stood in the middle of the lotus formed by frost, gently shook the folding fan in his hand like a gentle young man, with a faint smile on his face. From beginning to end, he seemed not serious.
Chanae also realized this.
The gap in strength between them seems to be a bit too big. The winding ghost is indeed not something that a pillar can attack independently.
If this ghost got serious, she might not be able to hold on for long.
Faced with such a strange ghost blood technique, unless she can cut her neck with one blow without breathing, the other party doesn't need to be serious. Sooner or later, she will fall down due to inhaling too much "cold air".
"Can't continue to drag on..."
Kanae began to feel anxious because she knew that the longer she delayed, the smaller the chances of winning.
Thinking of this, she jumped into the air again.
Taking advantage of the time of stagnation, Kanae took a deep breath and used the same trick again.
‘The breath of flowers, the shape of six, the vortex peach.’
"Oh, haven't you given up yet?" Tongma looked at Kanae who used the same attack method and was puzzled.
In fact, he likes such a beautiful girl very much. The night tonight is also very beautiful. If this girl can be more honest, it would be even better.
The Frost Lotus was still blooming, and the same attack was not at all threatening to Tong Mo. He even stood there without any intention of hiding.
And this is exactly the result that Chanae wants.
Cut off his neck in one breath!
After the failure of one strike, the trajectory of the Hibiro Sword in Kanae's hand suddenly changed. She did not retreat with one blow like the first attack.
Instead, he endured the cold around him, regardless of frostbite in his body, and then continued to use his sword skills.
‘The breath of flowers, the shape of the womb, the fantasy of the grass.’
The erratic slash was shrouded in Tongma from all directions, and nine sword lights lit up almost at the same time, which looked very complicated, but the result was very single, and the target of each sword was concentrated at the neck!
"One, two, three, four...Oh, it's really a pleasing sword technique, both beautiful and fast, just like dancing."
Tong Mo waved the iron fan in his hand with one hand, and the sound of metal collision resounded throughout the room.
The steps under his feet were not at all confused. He stepped backwards without any hurry and slowly, as if he was following the rhythm of a slash. He even had time to count how many swords the female swordsman in front of him had slashed.
"But this won't kill me." Tong Mo looked at the beautiful face in front of him with a bright smile on his face.
Both sides seemed to have no fear of "death". The difference is that Tongma did not understand the meaning of death at all, while Kanae had already put life and death aside.
At this moment, Kanae had only one thought in her mind, even if she died together, she would send this ghost to hell.
This is a very terrifying ghost, which is more terrifying than all the ghosts she has seen before. All ghosts are transformed by humans. They will more or less retain some of the obsessions of humans. This ghost is different. She can't feel anything that belongs to humans from this ghost.
He is a real ghost, an extremely evil ghost!
Such a ghost must not be allowed to remain in the world!
"Ghost Blood Technique, snow falls in the dry garden."
Tongmoge, who was smiling, suddenly changed his move while blocking the attack of Kanae.
The blooming petals of the ice and snow lotus beside the two of them instantly broke and sputtered into the air, covering Kanae like falling snow drifting all over the sky.
Facing the sudden falling snow, Kanae's eyes were not hesitant at all.
The Sun Wheel Knife cut out from his hand was instantly retracted to his side.
‘The breath of flowers, the shape of the second, the shadow plum.’
The slashes shrouded in all directions form a perfect arc, and the wind blade brought up perfectly defends against the falling snow.
However, the face on Kanae's face, which blocked the attack, became increasingly ugly. She was not afraid to breathe continuously using sword skills, which made her feel a little lack of oxygen.
‘Fourth type, red flower clothes.’
Chanae's moves were forced to change.
Two bottom-up combos bounced off the iron fan that Tong Mo waved. Then, she used force under her feet, and jumped up from behind her and quickly distanced her distance.
"Ahem—"
Finally, Kanae was able to breathe and coughed violently.
Her breathing became chaotic in an instant.
Damn it, Kanae felt a little unwilling. She wanted to cut off the ghost's head in one go, but she seemed to underestimate the ghost's strength.
The gap in strength between the two was too big. Her series of attacks did not play any role, and even made her breathing rhythm mess.
Danger! The warning suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, and Kanae subconsciously raised the Hibiscus knife to block it.
"Hey, hey, don't rush to leave, beautiful lady."
Tong Mo stretched out his hand with a smile, like a gentleman invited a lady to dance.
He seemed very satisfied with the dance just now, and even had some unsatisfactory meaning.
Ghost Blood Technique, Via Lotus.
The vines condensed from the frost continued to extend along his hand, and the direction of the extension was Kanae who was still in the air.
Kanae looked at the rapidly extending vine and her eyes changed, and she quickly adjusted her breathing and wanted to use the sword technique.
Unfortunately, it seems to be a step slower.
Her body tumbling and twisting in the air, driving the blade to block the frost vines that were entangled. However, because she was too hasty, she was unable to fully develop her sword skills, and the sharp thorns on the ice crystal vines still made her covered in instantly.
The butterfly-like Yui was cut, and blood marks appeared on her fair skin and instantly frozen at low temperatures.
The chill swept through her body in a moment.
Kanae fell to the ground weakly, feeling her body becoming a little stiff.
The frost vines stopped attacking and surrounded her.
"What a pity, you lost, beautiful lady."
Tong Mo smiled and slowly walked closer with the iron fan in his hand.
"This is the first time I have encountered such a beautiful sword skill. I really don't want it to disappear like this. Why don't you... you become a ghost, right?"
He tilted his head and made suggestions to the female swordsman who was lying on the ground.
"How... possible?"
For the first time, a gloomy look appeared on Kanae's face.
As the pillar of the ghost killing team, how can she become a ghost? If she becomes a ghost, how should she face her parents who were killed by the ghost and her sister who respects her the most?
It is true that she will pity the ghost, but it seems that everyone has made a mistake... Pity and gentleness are always two different things.
Kanae's eyes suddenly became a little dangerous. She slowly got up from the ground and adjusted her breathing regardless of the danger.
"What a poor guy..."
"What?" Tong Mo had a puzzled smile on his face.
He was a little puzzled, why did this woman feel pitiful?
"You can't feel anything, right?"
"?" The smile on Tong Mo's face gradually disappeared.
"People born in this world will smile because of their own happiness, and will also tremble because of their sadness and anger. But you... cannot understand these feelings at all. Am I right?" Kanae had a gentle smile on her face.
"..." Tong Ma did not speak silently, but the expression on his face became extremely gloomy, as if he had been poked into the pain.
"Although you have always been smart enough to hide your smile and lies, in order not to let others find that you can't feel anything, and pretend to be happy or sad at the right time, this kind of acting is beyond my mind."
Kanae's eyes became softer, "Poor child, to you, all the joys, anger, sorrows and happiness in this world are meaningless, but you have to act for everyone to see. It's so pitiful."
"Ba"
"Are you... pity me?"
Tong Mo closed the folding fan in his hand expressionlessly, and looked at the woman in front of him and became extremely dangerous.
He couldn't understand what happened to this woman. The gentleness and smile on this woman's face were completely different from what he performed. They were all real, but... why would humans really pity the ghosts? What does this woman mean?
"I originally thought that humans and ghosts could live in peace..."
Kanae seemed to see through Tongma's thoughts and smiled and answered the doubts in his heart.
"But after seeing you, I found out that I seemed to be wrong... because a guy like you should be born a 'ghost', right?"
Her hand holding the knife became stronger and stronger.
She will pity the ghosts who have residual human nature, but she will also gently kill them with a knife, because this is the best redemption for them.
And she would be even more pity for such a ghost in front of her, because how sad and pitiful it would be like a guy who could not understand his feelings at all?
"Let me... end it for you, this meaningless life..."
As he said that, Kanae put away the smile on her face.
To be continued...
