Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

"Xingzi, I'm going out for a while. No matter what happens, you mustn't go out."

Nohara Kyoko tilted her head, looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi with some confusion. She nodded obediently without asking why. Uesugi-kun must have his reasons for saying that.

Wearing an apron, she clasped her hands over her lower abdomen, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Please be careful on the road."

After she finished speaking, she blushed for a moment. She felt that her conversation with Uesugi Kiyoshi was like that of a newlywed couple, which made her heart flutter.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't think that much about it.

He smiled gently at Kyoko Nohara, said "I'm going out," and quietly closed the door after leaving the apartment.

Then, he took a deep breath.

He took three seconds to adjust his mindset.

The Buddha's heart has vanished, but the desire to kill remains.

He was ready to fight.

Chapter 58 Can I Borrow a Sword?

Maki Higashimoto felt a sense of despair.

She had just dealt with these men in black suits and immediately made her judgment.

These enemies are all above the level of ordinary people. They are either the elite fighters of the Twin Ghosts Group or they are occultists who have been imbued with the power of ghosts and gods.

And then there's Kuki Akane, who's always right behind him.

Maki Azuma is well aware of her own abilities. She is not without talent, but she hates fighting with others. She doesn't like the feeling of taking other people's lives, and she always feels that it would leave her with a sin she cannot bear.

Recently, her father's health has been deteriorating day by day, so she decided to change her ways and asked him to teach her more advanced swordsmanship. In the past, she would never have done that.

The second generation leader of the Dongwen Association must not be a weakling.

Kuki Akane is an opponent that even Kagura cannot defeat.

Then she has even less chance of defeating her.

Whatever comes to mind.

Just as Azuma Maki was feeling anxious, Kuki Akari behind her quickened her pace. Seemingly dissatisfied with the incompetence of her subordinates, the 1.9-meter-tall strong man casually swung his hand, and the five-foot-long nodachi in his hand was already unsheathed.

His figure flashed suddenly, rushing out from the black suit. His arm and the sword formed a straight line, and he raised the nodachi high above his head and slashed down.

Kuki Akatsuki held back; he used the back of his blade.

He needed the living, breathing Maki Tomoyuki, not a corpse.

However, using the back of the blade will not reduce the power of this strike in the slightest.

The nodachi, also known as the Ōdachi, was a weapon that could actually be used on the battlefield. During the Sengoku period, the Kamakura warriors of the Hojo clan frequently used heavy and huge nodachi to fight on the battlefield in order to show off their impressive arm strength.

Before this, samurai swords rarely proved their worth in large-scale legion battles. At that time, the standard weapon for foot soldiers was the spear—every inch longer, every inch stronger. Even the founder of the Shinkage-ryu school, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, used a spear on the battlefield.

The nodachi is a weapon that can contend with a spear. If the user is strong enough, they can easily cleave an enemy in two, spear and all.

Without turning around, Maki Azuma could hear the whistling of sword wind behind her. Her heart tightened, and she used the same trick as before, turning around and slashing down with her sword, trying to parry the opponent's sword.

She had barely turned her head when she knew something was wrong, and a bitter feeling welled up inside her.

Parrying a nodachi's slash is an extremely foolish act. There are generally only two possible outcomes: either you are cut down along with your weapon, or you are severely injured, as if struck by a blunt object.

The sword in Azuma Maki's hand was no ordinary weapon. Kuki Akari's nodachi was not enough to cut it. As a result, Azuma Maki felt a numbness in her hand, followed by a sharp pain in her wrist. She was sent flying backward by the sword and crashed into the entrance of the apartment building not far away.

There was no anticipation of a secondary impact with the wall.

Maki Azuma felt a lightness in her body, and a warm feeling, completely different from the torrential rain, came from her back.

Uesugi Kiyoshi saw this scene in the hallway, quickly took a few steps, stretched out his arm and gently caught Higashima Maki who had been knocked away, and then helped her to her feet.

He opened the black umbrella with his right hand, smiled slightly at Azuma Maki, and held the umbrella over her head.

Dongwen Zhenxi froze for a moment. The torrential rain lingered on the umbrella, creating a crisp, tinkling melody. The rain, which was slowly taking away her body heat, was kept out of reach of the black umbrella, making her feel as if she were in another world.

For some reason, she looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's profile and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

Is it just my imagination?

Before she could figure it out, she saw Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression freeze for a moment, and then his gaze toward her became somewhat strange.

The smile just now was a polite, aloof one, but now it carries a hint of complex concern.

Uesugi Kiyoshi murmured a sentence.

"Yoto Hime?"

Just now, the long-absent Hundred Demons Scroll finally showed some activity.

"The lost spirit of [Yoto Hime] has been discovered."

There was no longer the coercive measures that used to urge Uesugi Kiyoshi to retrieve the demon souls—that noise that sounded like a suona horn.

The Scroll of One Hundred Demons seems certain that Uesugi Kiyoshi, having already tasted the benefits, will not abandon the lost demon souls.

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed, realizing he had fallen into the trap set by the Hundred Demons Scroll. He suppressed his displeasure, released his hand from Higashimaki Maki's shoulder, and spoke softly.

"I apologize for my abruptness."

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

Upon hearing Uesugi Kiyoshi's question, Azuma Maki trembled and came to her senses.

With a solemn expression, she bowed slightly to Uesugi Kiyoshi and said softly, "Thank you for your help."

"Sir! It's dangerous here, I don't want to involve you."

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

Before Azuma Maki could finish speaking, Uesugi Kiyoshi rudely interrupted her, repeating his question. He didn't have time to explain much and could only ask what he wanted to ask first.

Maki Azuma wasn't angry, but she subconsciously glanced at Akane Kuki across from her, fearing that Akane Kuki might take the opportunity to attack.

She didn't want Uesugi Kiyoshi to die; she felt the boy was innocent.

But when she looked around, she saw that Kuki Akari's originally calm expression had become somewhat unpredictable. The 1.9-meter-tall strong man gripped his nodachi tightly as if facing a formidable enemy, his eyes fixed on Uesugi Kiyoshi, but he stopped in his tracks, not daring to take another step forward.

The leader stopped, and the bewildered men in black suits also halted. Facing more than a dozen enemies, Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed oblivious, simply tilting his head to look at Higashimaki Maki, waiting for her answer.

Seeing this scene, Maki Azuma felt a chill and sensed an unusual atmosphere. She then stopped insisting that Kiyoshi Uesugi leave.

She nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Please ask."

Uesugi Kiyoshi stroked his chin, sized up Higashimura Maki, and asked knowingly, "You are... Higashimura Maki?"

Maki Higashimaki was somewhat surprised to be called by name, but she still nodded in acknowledgment.

"Hmm, who are these people?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi casually pointed at Kuki Akari and the men in black suits opposite him and asked in a somewhat casual manner.

"They are the Double Ghost Group under my uncle Dong Wenyu, and the leader of the Double Ghost Group is the group leader, Jiu Gui Chi."

“My uncle plotted against my father, wanting to seize the Dongwen Society’s foundation.”

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Kuki Akane, revealing a meaningful smile.

It really takes no effort at all.

I haven't contacted you yet.

"Well, if, I mean if."

"If I can help you kill them, can you help me avoid some worries? Like the police coming to my door?"

"I don't want to be arrested as a murderer; I'm still young."

Maki Azuma stared in astonishment, unsure if Kiyoshi Uesugi was joking, but she nodded solemnly nonetheless.

“Cases involving murder in gang fights won’t go to the police. These are matters of the underworld, and they stay within the underworld. That’s the rule.”

"you"

Uesugi Kiyoshi did not give Higashima Maki a chance to ask questions.

"last question."

"They probably don't possess weapons of mass destruction."

"I mean a large number of automatic rifles, anti-materiel sniper rifles, or like those .RPGs in the movies?"

"Pistols and such are not a problem."

As Higashima Maki heard Uesugi Kiyoshi's questions getting more and more outrageous, she was filled with doubts. She felt a little annoyed at being constantly interrupted and asked questions, but she still nodded.

"No, but they are not ordinary people."

I've asked all the questions I wanted to ask.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stretched, handed the black umbrella to Higashimaki Maki, and stretched his body.

"Forgot to introduce myself."

"I am Uesugi Kiyoshi."

"My master, Kamiizumi Hidekawa, is a close friend of Mr. Azuma. I was entrusted by my master to teach swordsmanship to Miss Azuma Maki of the Azuma Society. Now that I think about it, it must be you?"

"We haven't formally become disciples, but you're practically one of my disciples."

"We Shin-Yin-Liu people are quite protective of our own; we don't have the habit of just standing by and watching our own people get bullied."

Uesugi Kiyoshi took a few steps forward, his body exposed to the torrential rain.

But the torrential rain stopped abruptly just three inches above his head. A faint gray mist, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, swirled around him, cutting off the rain and highlighting his mysterious and unpredictable aura.

Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around abruptly, smiled at Higashifumi Maki who was holding an umbrella and staring blankly, and extended his hand.

"I left in a hurry and didn't bring any weapons."

"May I borrow your sword?"
