Help! I changed the gender of the male protagonist in the yandere game.

Chapter 233 Sister, we've already pledged our lives to each other.

Boom!
Bai Jie felt a surge of power erupt from his lower abdomen, specifically the dantian area.

Fortunately, he was protected by armor, and besides, the old swordsman's "weapon" was just a thin bamboo pole.

The moment he was struck, his mindset of reaching the peak was instantly disrupted, and he was abruptly plunged from heaven to hell—this was clearly a scheme by the Sword Saint, Kibune Kyouunzai. He almost returned to the critical moment of the "End" and his breakthrough was interrupted!
"hateful!"

Hyakusuke knew this, but he was powerless to resist. His body was also helplessly sent flying by this move, like a cannonball, crashing into the sand dune.

The small sand dunes immediately burst open, and the sand and gravel that were thrown up fell back to the ground like a torrential downpour.

"Cough cough cough..."

A chill ran down Bai Jie's back, and he felt his internal organs churning. His stomach was cramping, and his hands and feet were trembling.

"Are you OK!"

Ye Ming has already arrived.

However, Hyakusuke only glanced at it.

"It's alright! There's still—"

His entire body emanated spiritual energy, and at the same time, he exhaled some kind of black mist that swirled around him. His armor began to glow again, and the armor, composed of demonic power, gradually turned red and black.

Instantly, rune-like patterns appeared on the armor, and sharp spikes grew out. Bai Jie roared and stomped his right foot on the ground, and an explosive boom came from behind him.

boom!
Bai Jie sprinted with all his might, transforming once again into a black lightning bolt, and sped away through the air.

“…Just a little bit more.”

Bai Jie felt that he was approaching the "end" and knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

Sword Saint Kibune Kyōunsai is an extremely powerful "enemy".

However, Zi Yueshi is also a formidable enemy.

To be honest, he didn't know whether it was possible to determine who was stronger.

However, Hyakusuke knew very well that he had to master the power of "End".

"I don't have any effective way to fight against Ziyue Shi right now, or even the enemies we'll encounter in the future."

Bai Jie knew very well that the best way to become stronger was to learn the "limit" from the Sword Saint.

Especially in that brief moment, he grasped a trace of the "End." If he could continue fighting the Sword Saint, he might have a chance to figure out the state of the "End."

"I must seize this opportunity."

In an instant, Hyakusuke accelerated, his entire body shooting out like an arrow.

His mind locked onto the Sword Saint, and he once again pursued him at lightning speed.

The old swordsman simply smiled and raised the bamboo pole in his hand once more.

Ye Ming trembled all over in that instant. The moment the seemingly ordinary bamboo pole was bathed in sunlight, she felt as if her body had suddenly become several times heavier. She was so heavy that she couldn't move, yet her body felt empty and she couldn't muster any strength at all.

At this moment, she finally understood what this was: sword intent, the boundless and majestic realm of sword essence.

The old swordsman slowly raised his sword, and the passage of time seemed to change in that instant. Ye Ming felt his whole body was incredibly heavy at this moment when Gui Ferry's Mad Cloud Studio unleashed this sword intent.

In an instant, something overwhelming struck her. Just standing up was already a great effort for her. Her clothes were going limp, and she couldn't even breathe properly, especially inhaling.

"One cut—"

The old swordsman chuckled, lifted the seemingly flimsy bamboo pole, and then swung it.

Although Ye Ming couldn't see all the movements, he guessed that Ye Ming had twisted his wrist.

"A thousand swallows return!!!"

Whoosh, countless rays of light burst forth.

Laser-like beams pierced through space, stretching for ten kilometers, creating a truly magnificent and beautiful sight.

Ye Ming felt like he was seeing things.

Is the old swordsman wielding a large sword?
She couldn't understand it; it seemed that with that gentle movement, dozens, hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of flashes of light enveloped the old man.

This is a divine sword technique, a divine strike that no ordinary person can capture. That ordinary bamboo pole has become an unparalleled divine weapon in the hands of the sword saint. The moment the bamboo pole is swung, afterimages of light are left everywhere.

Dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of beams of light were exceptionally clear. These densely packed beams of light pierced through the air, spreading out in all directions like blooming flowers.

Damn, this seems to be some kind of slashing attack. Are all those rays of light the trajectory of a blade? If so, wouldn't that be terrifying?

Each ray of light could extend to an incredible distance. All she could hear were booming sounds as several slashes tore through the sand around her, cleaving apart vast stretches of the sea of ​​sand. Some rays of light even pierced through the void and shot into the sky.

The clouds in the sky were shredded by the light, sand dunes were leveled by the blows, the blows ripped away the ground, and sand and dust rose up like waterfalls.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Ye Ming's mouth dropped open. She stood there, completely unaffected by the slash. The Sword Saint's attack had perfectly avoided her, who was merely a bystander.

This was an unbelievable move, and the girl's heart clenched violently. She couldn't imagine how Hyakusuke would be able to counter such a move.

However, Bai Jie, moving through the swirling sandstorm, also unleashed his "Demon Armor: Thousand-Eyed Peacock." Five-colored flames, like rays of light, ignited on his body, and within countless vortexes of flame resembling peacock eyes, dimensional rifts opened, absorbing the sword saint's slashes...

No, that won't work either!
At that moment, Ye Ming felt tremendous resistance. Every slash the Sword Saint unleashed pierced through the air and struck his armor. The destructive power contained within caused even the "Demon Armor - Thousand-Eyed Peacock" to crack.

That wouldn't have been bad enough, but the dense barrage of sword strikes seemed to create a wave-like resistance, slowing his movement speed down little by little, and even causing him to start moving backward.

"Don't do anything reckless... That old devil Sword Saint's slashes can't last forever. The power of his 'One Slash, a Thousand Cuts, Swallow Returns' attack can increase almost endlessly."

Mephistopheles quickly reminded him in his mind.

"A head-on confrontation is just suicide. Even though he doesn't intend to kill you, if you throw your life away, no one can save you!"

"I know."

Bai Jie gritted his teeth, let out a low roar, and his hands transformed into slashes that tore through the air. To only defend and not attack was to commit suicide.

His hands moved swiftly in an offensive, the "space distortion" power contained in his palms colliding with the sword saint's strike in the void.

The old swordsman's slashing motions that tore through the void, along with the absurd speed of his palms, were completely beyond the reach of the naked eye.

However, even from a distance, Ye Ming could detect the fluctuations. The two forces seemed to be clashing fiercely. Although he couldn't see them, he could feel their presence.

"Hyakusuke... did he block the Sword Saint's strike?"

She opened her mouth slightly.

Is this a temporary stalemate? Probably not, because many cracks have appeared on Bai Jie's armor, while the Sword Saint's movements remain effortless.

"hehe."

Unwittingly, the Sword Saint Kibune Kyouunzai lowered his center of gravity, his body posture resembling that of someone about to nock an arrow and draw a bow.

He changed his previous moves and adopted a different technique.

"A single strike pierces through a thousand spirals!!!"

The old swordsman twisted his body and thrust out a sword, but Bai Jie jumped away without being able to defend.

This was the right decision, but with just this one strike, a terrifying sound, as if something had shattered and turned to dust, echoed through the void.

Ye Ming opened his mouth.

She heard a shrill sound, and a stream of light rapidly expanded, transforming into a beam of light capable of scorching the sun.

The power of this strike was indescribable; it transformed into a streak of light as fast as lightning, extending and extending until it dissipated near the horizon.

"It's a divine technique that can rival the ultimate breath attack and thermonuclear strike of a dragon!"

Even though Bai Jie barely escaped this attack, he was still seriously injured. Half of his armor was shattered, and his body was emitting white smoke.

He had clearly suffered significant burns; the skin on his chest was exposed, and his left arm was also bare, though the area had partially melted due to the high temperature and then hardened back into a white patch.

This attack could only be dodged by "spatial teleportation," but it still grazed the target, causing severe damage.

He was now covered in wounds, his body flying halfway through the air before crashing back to the ground. "Can't move anymore?"

Regarding the move just now, Bai Jie also deduced the principle behind it. It should be that he used the effect of "End" to turn the thrust into a killing move that is comparable to the speed of light.

In the past, when he defeated Hong Tianyin, he used a similar move, but its power was still far inferior to that of the Sword Saint Kifune Kyouunzai.

"ended."

The old man's voice came from behind, and the bamboo pole gently struck the back of his head. Instantly, a numbing shock hit Bai Jie's entire body.

"Kid, you're interesting... but you still need to work on your technique!"

"Hyakusuke!"

Bai Jie heard Ye Ming's mournful cry, but was unable to respond, as the blow from the old sword saint had also affected his consciousness, causing him to fall into a coma.

……

"Hyakusuke, are you awake?"

I could hear the sound of night.

He suddenly opened his eyes and slowly got up from the ground.

It appears to be a simple tent, and the place where I'm lying is just a straw mat.

"How are you feeling? Is there anything that still hurts?"

Ye Ming approached, in a kneeling position.

Only after Hyakusuke got up did he realize that his head had been resting on the girl's lap the whole time.

"Thankfully, I'm alright now."

He touched his body, and the armor that had been generated when he was possessed by the demon had disappeared.

He was injured before, but fortunately his regenerative ability is not weak, so he should have recovered.

"Sorry, I woke you up... Uh, um... thank you for coming here."

Her cheeks were slightly flushed as she gazed quietly into Hyakusuke's eyes.

"Do not."

Baijie shook his head.

"There are many things I should thank you for, Yoru."

"Is that so?"

She was at a loss for words and looked away in embarrassment.

"I'm not actually that great."

"Ye Ming..."

The fact that the two of them were alone, and that it was so quiet, made Hyakusuke scratch his head awkwardly.

There is something I must tell you.

Ye Ming lowered his head and waited quietly for him to continue.

Hyakusuke felt that now might be the best time. He had to tell Ayaka about it.

Now that things had come to this, he felt he could no longer delay.

His relationship with Ayaka, and her relationship, should be clarified by now.

"After being apart from you for a while, I've thought it over carefully and decided to give a response to our relationship."

He coughed lightly.

“I used to use seven years as a shield.”

Hyakusuke's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"But after careful consideration, I feel that this is not fair to you... So, I have something to tell you."

"Um... what do you mean by that?"

Hyakusuke's voice trembled as he responded.

At this moment, Ye Ming's face turned red, and his breathing became rapid.

"Could it be...you, you really mean that?"

"Yes."

Baijie nodded.

"I have someone I like now, so I have to tell you this."

His gaze was fixed on Ye Ming.

The girl's eyes met his, and she immediately blushed as if someone had seen something embarrassing.

Her heart felt light and airy, and a burning sensation, filled with excitement, joy, and a touch of shyness, ignited deep within her.

Ye Ming felt as if she was rising with this scorching power. She felt surrounded by that warm heat, and her life reached its peak at that moment. She was so happy that everything in front of her seemed like a dream.

"I like you, Yoru."

Bai Jie honestly replied, "To be precise, one of the two people I like is you."

"Y-really?"

She was laughing foolishly when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute...did you just say 'two people'?"

In that instant, Ye Ming keenly sensed something and cast a suspicious glance at him.

"Did I hear that right...? Two people, besides me, who is the other one?"

Her voice trembled slightly at the end.

"Could it be... that Miss Hiruko?"

Bai Jie's breath hitched.

He suddenly realized that the atmosphere between him and Ye Ming was as cold as ice.

Ye Ming's expression changed from one of pure happiness to one of blankness, and his icy gaze pierced through her.

"Sister, Hyakusuke isn't talking about Miss Hiruko."

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the side.

"The person he liked was me."

Ayaka's voice came from behind the two of them.

Hyakusuke was stunned for a moment. He turned around and realized that Ayaka had appeared there at some point.

However, the one most shocked was Ye Ming herself. She stood frozen in place, as if a thunderbolt had struck the girl.

She stiffly turned her head and shifted her gaze to her adopted sister behind her.

"Ayaka...Are you kidding me?"

Ayaka sighed softly, walked over slowly, and sat down next to Hyakusuke. Then, to Yomei's disbelief, his stepsister's small hand tightly gripped his right arm, and her warmth and weight pressed against him.

“This is no joke… Sister, I have decided to become Hyakusuke’s lover. We are already engaged for life.”
