She didn't even use a sword.

Although Uesugi Kiyoya defeated Kuki Akara, who was of similar strength, he used a Hyakumonogatari card, which was nothing compared to the effortless ease of Izumi Rin.

Kamiizumi Rin tilted her head, muttering to herself in confusion, "Dead?"

"So fragile."

"What are these stinky fellows up to by showing up near Qing's house?"

"Dad said Qing has recently offended some ghosts and spirits, hmm."

"Never mind, take it to Qing to have a look."

Kamiizumi Rin stood up, grabbed Kuki Ao by the collar, and dragged the 1.9-meter-tall, muscular man's corpse along the ground to Kagura's side.

Kagura was so surprised that her mouth gaped open—her small mouth was huge, big enough to fit an apple.

She wasn't unfamiliar with strong individuals, but the contrast between the two, one before the other, was so stark that it left her somewhat bewildered.

When everything went black, she found that Izumi Rin was already in front of her.

Many thoughts raced through Kagura's mind, until only one option remained.

Dragging her injured body, she struggled to kneel on the ground, performing a proper dogeza (a deep bow) for Izumi Rin, and loudly pleaded, "Thank you for your help!"

"Kind lady! Could you please help Miss Maki? Our Dongwen Association will always remember your kindness!"

Kagura didn't have much hope, but she still said it: if this incredibly strong girl was willing to help, the young lady would definitely be saved!

Rin Kamiizumi blinked and said softly, "The Tobunkai? Miss Maki?"

"Are you Uncle Jue's men? Is Maki here? Where is she? Is she in danger?"

Kamiizumi Hidekawa and Higashi Bunkaku were close friends. It was the Higashi Bunkaku faction that found Kamiizumi Rin's whereabouts after she was kidnapped and notified Kamiizumi Hidekawa.

Rin Kamiizumi had met Kazumi Higashi, and had also met Maki Higashi a few times. They weren't close friends, but just acquaintances.

But she knew that Uncle Jue had done a lot to save her back then, and now that his daughter was in trouble, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Kagura was stunned for a few seconds, then said urgently, "Yes! There's a traitor within the Dongwen Society plotting to kill the young lady. They've gone after them!"

From the way Kagura addressed Kamiizumi Rin, she could tell that this was probably not an enemy. She carefully examined Kamiizumi Rin and felt that she looked familiar. She should have seen her before, but she couldn't remember which one it was.

This did not prevent her from seeking help.

Kamiizumi Rin looked in the direction Kagura was pointing and frowned.

"Qing lives there."

"What a coincidence? Could it be that Qingye has been dragged into this as well?"

"Or is this a trap set by those occultists?"

Kamiizumi Rin pondered for a moment, thinking about a question she would never normally consider, and then nodded to Kagura.

She said softly, somewhat apologetically, "I understand, I'll go take a look, but I'm sorry to offend you."

Kazumi Rin held Kagura's shoulders and gently lifted her up.

The petite Kagura was then hoisted onto her shoulder.

At the same time, there was a grinding sound of bones dislocating—Kagura's shoulder was fractured by Izumi Rin's casual lift. Intense pain spread, and she rolled her eyes and fainted.

Kazumi Rin was not surprised by this outcome. She sighed, carefully supported Kagura with one hand, lifted her up, and dragged Kuki Ao's corpse with the other, striding towards the alley not far away.

Almost simultaneously, in the alley, Uesugi Kiyoshi cleaved Kuki Akane in two.

Maki Azuma took in the scene, as if recalling that night she had experienced five years ago.

That was the first time she had ever been on the battlefield where superhumans and demons fought.

Hiding behind her father, she witnessed firsthand how Uezumi Hidekawa, armed with a katana, stormed into the religious headquarters guarded by hundreds of believers armed with firearms, unleashing a bloodbath where even the seemingly powerful ritualists perished under his sword.

The swordsman dances on the edge of a blade, reaping lives with his dazzling swordplay, fearless of gunfire and even ghosts and gods.

Since then, and still now.

In Higashifumi Maki's heart, Kamiizumi Hidekawa surpassed her father and became a synonym for "powerful".

Now, the backs of the two swordsmen seemed to overlap in front of her.

The swordsmanship and the cold expression when drawing the sword were exactly the same, as were the ruthless and merciless swords and the opponents who died with resentment.

Maki Azuma jolted awake from her reverie.

She took a few steps forward hastily and spoke anxiously.

"Uesugi-kun! Could you please go and save Kagura?!"

“Kuki Akane has an equally powerful younger brother named Kuki Ao. He’s being held back by my friend Kagura. Kagura’s specialty is assassination, not direct combat. I’m afraid she’s in grave danger!”

"It's right outside this alley!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced back at Kuki Akari's body to make sure he was dead, then met Higashimaki Maki's eager gaze for a few seconds, nodded, and strode towards the end of the alley.

Now that things have come to this, let's go all the way. The death of Kuki Akane just now caused a lot of mirage energy to flow into his body. Now, if he gets another portion like this, he couldn't be happier.

Who knows, all of Inugami's cards might be lit up today; he's kind of looking forward to what will happen then.

He had only taken a few steps when he stopped in surprise.

He saw Kamiizumi Rin carrying one child and pulling another, looking like she had just returned from a big grocery shopping trip.

"Rin, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as Izumi Rin turned the corner, she saw Uesugi Kiyoshi and immediately showed a gentle smile that had never appeared on her face before.

"Qing, I'm so glad you're alright."

"I'm here to freeload a meal, and this is a gift~"

With a single gesture, Kamiizumi Rin tossed the limp, mollusc-like corpse of Kuki Ao in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Did you do this?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi swallowed hard, looking at Kuki Ao's miserable state in disbelief—he had originally thought that with the Hyakumonogatari, he would be able to suppress Kamiizumi Rin.

Now it seems

He seems to be overthinking things.

P.S., I'd love some recommendations!

Chapter 65 Gunshot

Uesugi Kiyoshi subconsciously felt that there was something strange about Izumi Rin in front of him.

Although she was smiling, her smile now felt completely different from her smile before.

The current Izumi Rin inexplicably gives off the feeling of a refined lady from a prestigious family.

Uesugi Kiyoshi thought he must be crazy. This girl who could give him a concussion with one punch, who was greedy and playful, who would run around outside after school, whose greatest pleasure was chasing cats and dogs in Shiba Park, and who taught a group of children swordsmanship, how could she be associated with being a lady?

"Yes, I did it. This big guy was a complete idiot, too weak to fight back. I accidentally killed him. I was thinking of leaving him alive for you."

"Ah, I'm sorry, after the shackles were removed, I found it difficult to control my power."

"Hmm, Qing, what's going on here? Why are there mystics causing you trouble?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Girl, where did you come from, female version of Long Aotian? This attempt at being cool is quite refreshing and natural.

So, the enemy who forced me to use Onmyoji Arena couldn't even withstand two punches from you?

Uesugi Kiyoshi was surprised, but he didn't seem suspicious; Izumi Rin never lied to him.

He took a breath in disbelief and slowly shook his head.

"No, it's not aimed at me. Someone in the Dongwen Society is plotting a rebellion, colluding with ghosts and gods, and has sent a ritualist to attack the second-generation leader of the Dongwen Society. That's roughly it."

"Rin, what happened to the shackles being removed?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi astutely grasped the key point in Izumi Rin's words.

Kazumi Rin paused for a moment, blinked, and asked in confusion, "Hmm? So it's the shackle that seals my power?"

"What? Didn't your dad tell you?"

"What? This old man is so unreliable. He went out, so the only one who could help me put on the shackles was Qing, and he just left without saying a word!"

Rin Kamiizumi took a breath, puffed out her cheeks, and looked chubby and very cute.

Seeing that Uesugi Kiyoshi was still confused, she continued to explain, "Kiyoshi, you should know my abilities, right?"

Uesugi nodded; finally, something he could understand was coming up.

"My abilities may seem ordinary, but they are secret techniques passed down from my ancestors, inherited from the Sword Saint's Mirror of Inheritance."

"This ability has one characteristic."

"It means there are no limits."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart was once again shaken.

In those novels and movies, shouldn't transmigrators like me, who also have something like a system, always be the protagonists?

Girl, you look more like the main character than I do!

No limits?

Any ability that is described as having no limits can be directly equated with being powerful.

The infinity is a dreamlike existence that humanity has always pursued but can never attain.

"Yes, as long as I eat, I can increase my physical strength. The effect was particularly obvious at the beginning, but the growth rate gradually slowed down later, but this ability never failed."

“Right now, I might need to eat for several days to gain even a tiny bit of strength, but I know that as long as I have time, my physical strength will keep increasing, and there is no end in sight.”

"Look, this big guy's nodachi can't hurt me at all."

"I ate this for five years, and this is what happened~"

Kamiizumi Rin spoke calmly and methodically, explaining her abilities to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"My power has become stronger, but my control has not kept up. I often lose control of my power and go berserk, damaging furniture and even injuring innocent people."
