Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 99 Killing
This adventure of Higanbana has already attracted much attention, and now there has been a major breakthrough in progress, which naturally attracted hundreds of adventurers to watch the live broadcast.

“It’s really shocking!”

“This is another amazing piece of art!”

When faced with the picture presented in the crystal, Baihe Jushi and others expressed their feelings in unison.

Not so much a fight.

It's more like a gorgeous stage performance!

It's different from challenging Red Oni, Samurai Daisho, or Anaconda Juzo.

The atmosphere and oppressive feeling of this battle are more similar to the Battle of Reed Marsh.

This is true.

Phantom Butterfly is a boss battle.

Many boss battles in "Sekiro" have very distinctive scene designs.

These scenes not only create an atmosphere and enhance the narrative effect, but also push the battle and rhythm to a climax with strong visual impact.

Qi Ji reset process.

It will be further optimized.

Committed to creating more extreme pictures.

This is the final battle of the Hirata branch, set in a dilapidated, claustrophobic, fire-ravaged Buddhist temple on the verge of destruction. This limited-time venue, which could collapse and be destroyed at any time, makes people nervous and their heartbeats accelerate.

All around.

There are thousands of gods and Buddhas.

Looking down silently in the flames.

This fully interprets the "mono no aware" and "violence" in Japanese aesthetics, thus conveying a sense of fate and ritual in a restrained yet strong way.

It not only symbolizes the tragic fate of the Hirata family, but also shows the cruelty of the master and apprentice about to kill each other.

It also contains thoughts and metaphors about loyalty and betrayal.

If.

The Battle of the Reeds is beautiful and poetic.

The battle in the Buddhist temple was gorgeous and cruel.

Such excellent scene design and rendering.

The tension between characters and plot will be greatly amplified.

This can enable the adventurers involved to enter a flow state, completely immersing themselves in the atmosphere and plot, and more fully experiencing the charm of the story and the emotions of the characters.

now.

Higanbana completely integrated into the role of the wolf.

She asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to betray the ninja's precepts and oath?"

Madam Die said calmly, "No, I have never betrayed anyone. The oath I swore was to protect Ashina. It was for this reason that I participated in the war to steal the country twenty years ago, and it is also for this reason that I destroyed the Hirata clan today."

Higanbana: "I can't understand!"

Madame Die said, "Ashina is in imminent danger of decline, and the pedantry of Isshin and the Hirata family is destroying this country that was built with great difficulty... Only by handing over the power of the Dragon's Heritage to Master Genichirō can we continue to defend Ashina!"

It's Ashina Genichirō again?
Could he be the real mastermind behind the Hirata tragedy?
However, there was no time to think about it at the moment. The positions of both parties were completely different. The wolf's oath was to protect the Son of God, and he would not allow anyone to take his master away.

There is only one battle!
"Son of Xiao, please don't get in my way."

"I'm sorry, but I obey!"

Mrs. Die knew that it was useless to say more.

She pulled out two long, thin kunai in each hand.

"Boy, being lost will kill you, please come on!"

Madame Butterfly was the first to throw four kunai.

Higanbana reacted in a split second, dodging the kunai by a hair's breadth, but almost at the same time, the slender figure of Lady Butterfly approached like a ghost, and her speed was almost as fast as the hidden weapon that was shot at her.

Dangerous!
The hairs on the red spider lily stood on end.

I didn't expect the other party's speed to be so terrifying.

She barely avoided a fatal attack, but was followed by a torrent of attacks.

Dang Dang Dang!
The two men clashed more than ten times in an instant.

Mrs. Butterfly's attack was as graceful as a dragonfly skimming the water.

Although the power was not very strong, it was so fast that it produced afterimages that were almost impossible to capture with the naked eye. The cheeks, shoulders, thighs and other parts of the red spider lily were all cut.

too fast!
Mrs. Butterfly and Genichirō Ashina of the Reed Plains are both around level two, five stars in strength.

But the speed was far greater than Genichirō's, almost reaching the limit of the wolf's reaction.

No!

Such a sharp speed-type opponent.

If you get caught in the opponent's offensive rhythm, you will definitely lose.

She seized the opportunity to launch a mirror-rebound sword attack. When she successfully repelled the opponent, she immediately jumped up and swung the sword to attack. Unexpectedly, before the blade fell, the opponent flew backwards several feet.

Don't wait for the red spider lily to chase.

After another volley, he flipped and flew into the air.

Jumping back and forth in the air at incredible speed.

Mrs. Butterfly's movements are light, agile and graceful. Each leap can cover more than ten meters, so she can appear back and forth in various positions, and in the process, she continuously releases darts and flying needles to attack.

Dang Dang Dang Dang!
Sparks flew one after another!

With its keen senses and crisis foresight, Higanbana deflected all hidden weapon attacks.

“It’s filaments!”

The four pillars of the Buddhist temple were nailed with steel wires using kunai.

The reason why Mrs. Butterfly can jump and move in the air is because of these things that are difficult to see with the naked eye. She uses the powerful maneuverability brought by the depth of space to easily suppress any adventurer.

Don’t wait to think too much.

The sense of crisis reappears.

Mrs. Butterfly appeared behind him like a ghost.

This time, the red spider lily had no time to react.

A kunai pierced the neck and a kunai pierced the heart from the back.

Madame Die ruthlessly executed her best student with her clean and efficient ninja-killing skills.

"It's just a puppy after all..."

I heard Mrs. Die sigh before she fell to the ground.

A big word "death" appeared before my eyes.

Challenge failed!

This BOSS battle is obviously not easy.

The secret game is different from the original.

The tolerance for error in combat in an environment that is almost completely realistic is extremely low.

When facing an assassin-type opponent who is stronger than oneself, faster and more agile, it is almost impossible to win without understanding his moves and mechanisms. Even Higanbana, who has used wolves very smoothly, is no exception.

Very strong!

Very wonderful!
Although the red spider lily has withered.

But the other adventurers still cheered.

This battle once again proved Miracle City's superb secret realm creation capabilities, and further proved Lord Qi's terrifying talent and ability!
"Go on, boss!"

"Let's not take any risks!"

"Yeah, I just want to see the big guys challenge strong enemies. This kind of battle with top masters is too exciting and exciting!"

"..."

There are many people in the secret hall and you have to queue up to take risks.

But every time someone hits the key point or is about to make an important breakthrough.

Everyone else will voluntarily give up their crystals so that the big guys can challenge continuously and advance the progress as quickly as possible.

It is impossible for an ordinary adventurer to defeat Mrs. Butterfly in a short period of time, but Higanbana is not an ordinary adventurer. She has abundant energy and powerful talents, so there is still hope to complete the battle and promote the development of the plot.

The red spider lily was not polite.

She enjoys fighting and playing!

I really want to know how the plot develops next.

After taking a short break to discuss tactics, Higanbana activated the secret crystal again... The Ashina Kingdom in the Ten Kingdoms Chronicles can store the story progress just like the Frenzy storyline.

The second battle soon began.

This time he persisted for three minutes before retreating again.

She gritted her teeth and said, "This old woman is really capable!"

Sanzhu said, "You've made considerable progress this time. Madam Die is fast, but her moves aren't very varied. As long as you remember the relevant changes, you can anticipate your opponent's moves."

Baihe Jushi commented: "Don't compete with her in speed. Try to prevent her from using her mobility, otherwise you will fall into her rhythm."

Taken the advice.

Summarized the experience.

The third challenge has begun.

At this moment, Higanbana is becoming more and more familiar with Madame Butterfly's moves. Whenever Madame Butterfly uses the steel wire to perform air control maneuvers, she will immediately use her ninja prosthetic arm to release darts to interrupt them, so as to weaken the suppression from the air attack as much as possible.

Also.

Mrs. Butterfly is fast.

However, there are obvious shortcomings in strength.

She threw darts repeatedly to break the thin threads, dragged Madam Butterfly into a ground fight, and then launched a series of counterattacks with swords and bullets. As expected.

Die soon ran out of energy.

Higanbana immediately launched three consecutive fierce attacks, finally completely destroying its posture and creating a flaw.

His eyes flashed with brilliance.

She seized the fleeting opportunity, took a sudden step forward, used her left hand to grapple and restrain her, and with her right hand, stabbed Madam Die from behind to complete the ninja kill.

"Won!"

"Boss Higanbana is awesome!"

All the adventurers in the secret hall cheered, and even the red spider lily breathed a sigh of relief. However, their joy and cheers did not last for two seconds before a completely unexpected change occurred.

"Something's wrong!"

The red spider lily felt that Mrs. Butterfly had lost her mass, and her body suddenly turned into countless glowing bubbles, and actually decomposed and evaporated right before her eyes.

at the same time.

A burst of laughter echoed in the Buddhist hall.

"Hahaha, you did a good job, kid!"

Mrs. Die's intact figure once again appeared above the head of the Buddha in the temple.

At this moment, the burning in the Buddhist temple has reached a critical point. Burning broken wood keeps falling, and a large amount of flames keeps flowing down like a waterfall.

"Illusion?"

Higanbana was shocked.

"When did she use the illusion?!"

"Could it be that what we've been dealing with from the very beginning is just an illusion?"

This scene not only shocked Higanbana, but also shocked the adventurers outside.

"Is this the method used by Ninja Master 'Phantom Butterfly'?"

"It's so terrible!"

"The one who showed up this time must be the real one. Come on, Higanbana Boss, just one more win will be enough!"

"But it has to be quick!"

"The temple is about to collapse!"

"Yeah, looking at this trend, if we can't end this battle within three to five minutes, we'll definitely die!"

"..."

A scene full of doomsday feeling.

In a situation full of urgency.

The second phase of the BOSS battle has officially begun!

Not only does Higanbana have to dodge Madam Butterfly's hidden weapon attacks, she also has to constantly dodge all kinds of burning falling objects. In this situation, if she is not careful, she will lose everything.

Not only that.

In the second stage, Mrs. Butterfly has more methods.

With a wave of her hand, she can release dozens or even hundreds of spirit butterflies. Their speed is not as fast as hidden weapons, but they have the ability to track. Once hit, the victim will suffer burning damage.

This is already difficult to deal with.

There are even more powerful illusions.

Suddenly, eerie howls erupted from the hot Buddhist temple, which was like hell, and translucent, hideous figures rushed in from all directions.

"what is this?"

"Is it just an illusion?"

The red spider lily was quickly surrounded by a dozen figures.

These guys have ferocious faces and hold axes and sticks in their hands. Not only can they make creepy howls to disrupt the battle, but more terrifyingly, they can also cause actual damage.

Mrs. Die is very difficult to deal with.

He summoned a dozen or twenty soldiers in one breath.

Higanbana was immediately surrounded and restrained and fell into a passive position. At this time, Madam Butterfly launched a fierce attack and killed her almost effortlessly.

challenge!

Failed again!

Exit the secret realm again.

It’s difficult!
This is too difficult!
Die already has top-notch skills.

Her illusions are more terrifying than her moves.

The adventurers felt their skin tingle just by looking at it.

"horrible!"

"How do you win?"

“It’s almost impossible!”

"If I were to face her... I can't imagine how badly I'd be beaten!"

Adventurers once again felt the extremely high difficulty of the Ashina chapter. Despite this, no one complained about the production of the lord. After all, this battle is a top-notch design in every aspect.

Despite repeated defeats, Higanbana was not discouraged at all.

Instead, he became more courageous after facing more setbacks.

The fighting spirit is growing stronger.

"This battle... is so interesting, I must win today!"

Feng Zhongmian said, "Sister, Die's illusion is too powerful. It can continuously summon soldiers. If we can't clear or get rid of the soldiers, there is no way we can win the battle under such interference."

The Lonely Swordsman then said, "Captain, why don't you use the Ming Seed? This should be a tool to restrain Madam Butterfly!"

Before entering the secret Buddhist temple, Higanbana obtained the Naruto seed that could break the illusion from Inosuke. The main reason she didn't use it was that she wanted to understand the mechanism first.

On the one hand, it can provide experience reference for other adventurers.

On the other hand, strive to achieve victory at the lowest cost.

Higanbana held this idea.

Continued to challenge.

The fourth battle, lost!
The fifth battle, defeated!
……

Die again and again!

Reopen again and again!

Even so.

But it is making progress.

At first, he was completely unable to escape the illusion and was entangled to death.

Later on, I discovered a pattern and was able to get rid of the interference of the resentful villagers.

However, since the battle could not be ended within the time limit, the challenge would eventually fail again due to the collapse of the scene.

"almost!"

"I've mastered all the tricks!"

"This time, we will definitely capture Madam Butterfly!"

Higanbana once again entered the secret realm and launched the ninth challenge. Compared with her initial awkwardness and passivity, she has now become very skilled and can even easily predict Butterfly's movement trajectory and attack moves.

Less than two minutes.

Kill the butterfly phantom first.

Thus entering the second stage.

In the second stage, Lady Butterfly began to cast illusions crazily. Higanbana used her movement to avoid the bombing of the Psylocke and the encirclement of the resentful villagers, and at the same time lured Lady Butterfly to the ground to fight with her.

"It's now!"

Crushed a Ming seed.

A sharp buzzing sound erupted from the seed, and the psionic butterflies and resentful villagers in all directions were all defeated by the invisible sound waves.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Die immediately flew away.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Higanbana was well prepared and broke the wire with a dart. She rushed forward at full speed and launched a series of crazy attacks with a knife. The head-on confrontation and close combat soon exposed her flaws, and she stabbed Mrs. Die in the heart with a knife.

Won!

This moment.

The red spider lily was not as ecstatic as imagined.

Instead, she could feel a strong sense of sadness.

This emotion does not come from the adventurer, but from this body called wolf.

Many memories involuntarily emerged in Higanbana's mind, which were the scenes of her youth when she lived with her teacher in the forest day and night and learned various ninja skills.

Compared to the cold-hearted adoptive father.

Die seems to have more of a foster mother feel to her.

Higanbana couldn't help but say: "I'm sorry, Madam Die..."

Mrs. Butterfly was about to die, but she showed no anger or resentment, nor any fear. Instead, she felt a sense of relief.

In her last moments, her originally gloomy and indifferent eyes became more gentle and relieved. She used up her last bit of strength to whisper:
"Wolf... your skills... have improved..."

Higanbana pulled out the knife, held up Mrs. Die's body, and gently placed it on the ground.

The battle is over.

Challenge succeeded!
