It simply swung its fist.

The size of the Old God's Fist and Summer Rinrei.

Just like the size of a human fist compared to that of a fly.

The immense power and oppressive feeling brought about by its size are beyond description; it is just like the swing of a giant in mythology!

In an instant, it carried countless swirling, howling fist gusts of wind and slammed fiercely towards the imprisoned Xia Rilinli.

With that punch, there was no other possibility but to be flattened and killed.

Summer's chill makes one's heart ashen.

I was careless after all. It's a pity... I didn't even get to see my sister one last time.

The colossal fist of the ancient god rapidly approached before Xia Rilinli's eyes.

But Natsumi Rinrei did not close his eyes.

She wanted to face her death in the most serene way possible, so that she could face the Old Gods without fear until the very end.

However, just as the fist of the Old God was within arm's reach of Summer Rinrei, the aura of death swept in.

The fist suddenly stopped.

A black feather gently drifted down onto the back of the Old God's fist.

Chapter 52: Summer Day Liu, the Human Butcher

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In the very center of the summer residence, there stands a temple.

At this moment, inside this simply decorated temple, a large golden Buddha statue stands.

Summer sun rose and Liu was kneeling on a cushion in front of the Buddha statue, wearing a brown monk's robe, with a kind face, constantly striking a wooden fish and chanting incantations.

Every day, except for extremely important matters, he would sit in front of this Buddha statue to repent and cleanse himself of the sins of his previous life.

He even slept on a bed in a side hall next to the Buddha statue most of the time.

He was a devout Buddhist to the extreme.

However, at this moment.

One of the top-tier C-rank butlers narrowly escaped during Rin's attack in the summer and was the first to return to the main residence.

He obtained information that Xia Rilinli had broken through to B-rank, and that her ability was clearly an extremely dangerous one, having entered the Nightmare-level bizarre realm.

The combination of these three pieces of information will undoubtedly bring him one step closer to the Summer Palace.

Once they reach the B-level, they will most likely become senior butlers.

His position as steward allowed him to proceed without hindrance, and he rushed straight into the temple where Xia Yuanliu was located.

He was excited, his mind filled with thoughts of the power he would wield as a senior butler, when he suddenly pushed open the mahogany door.

"boom!"

The door suddenly opened, and he looked at Xia Riyuanliu's back and spoke impatiently.

"Master! The young lady is in a nightmare-level monster—"

"Boom——"

Suddenly, the sound of striking the wooden fish stopped abruptly.

And then the butler's voice, which had barged in, came to an abrupt end.

His body was cleanly and neatly cut in two, and his blood was splattered on the spotless mahogany door.

This made the mahogany door appear even more reddish.

Bathed in the light of the golden Buddha, it appeared vibrant and glistening.

Xia Yuanliu's eyes opened at some point, unleashing an extremely intense and pure killing intent that enveloped the entire temple like a howling gale.

The hand that had just struck the wooden fish had transformed into a chilling blade, and was slowly returning to the shape of a hand.

He struck the wooden fish again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the killing intent gradually faded, Xia Riliu looked at the face of the golden Buddha.

At this moment, a few drops of blood were splattered onto the face of the golden Buddha statue.

Xia Yuanliu's murderous intent subsided considerably. He regained his kind expression, stopped striking the wooden fish, and then spoke softly and slowly.

"Disturbing the peace of the Buddhist temple."

"It's not a pity to die."

"I killed the intruder to protect the Buddhist temple, and I'm afraid that my merit has increased once again."

Xia Yuanliu's aged face broke into a slight smile, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes almost enough to trap a fly.

Then he thought again.

"I heard that Ryuko Shrine was recently granted the title of Saigu, so the deity it enshrines must be quite efficacious."

"When you have time, please have one of them come back to cleanse me of my sins."

Indeed, Xia Yuanliu was not a devout Buddhist.

Instead, he would invite any slightly famous deity back to be enshrined in the center of the Summer Palace, which is so large that it can still accommodate them all.

And since Ryukiko Shrine has recently become the state religion, it is natural that one should also be placed in the main residence.

In his youth, Xia Yuanliu was a notorious butcher, possessing unparalleled swordsmanship and an ability called "weapon," making him invincible.

In the end, he was forced to become an A-level.

Their combat strength is far beyond what the head of the Kujo family can match.

It can be said that before this, the Summer Zaibatsu was not as good as other top zaibatsu, but with the help of Summer Yuanliu in his youth, he forcibly stood shoulder to shoulder with the other three top zaibatsu.

However, his murderous intent made him an A-rank, but his excessively strong murderous intent also caused him great suffering in his old age.

Therefore, he worshipped all the gods.

pity……

It had no effect.

As for so-called healing-type ability users, they can only heal injuries. They can't cure things like killing intent, which is mysterious and combined with Xia Yuanliu's ability.

Then, Xia Riyuanliu turned to look at the corpse at the door, and felt only a glaring pain in her eyes.

His slightly aged voice was full of energy as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Someone is coming."

The two butlers bowed as they entered the gate, each kneeling on one knee.

"My subordinate is here."

"Take this body away, give it a proper burial, and provide the family with war-related compensation."

It must be said that Xia Yuanliu was indeed a responsible and good head of the household.

Otherwise, the Summer Zaibatsu would not have reached its current level.

The butler died because he didn't know the rules, but ultimately he killed the man because he couldn't control his murderous intent, so it's only right to comfort his family.

As for dying in battle, he certainly died in battle. Isn't fighting against oneself the same as dying in battle?

At the same time, Natsumi Yoriyuki recalled the words of the dead butler, who seemed to have mentioned Natsumi Rinrei.

Previously, he had learned that Natsumi Hanae had been kidnapped and taken to the haunted realm, but he hadn't paid much attention to it.

In his view, the marriage alliance with the Kujo Zaibatsu was merely a formality.

As long as Summer Rinrei is there, this situation can be managed.

However, it seemed that the butler's words indicated that something had also happened to Natsumi Rinrei, which made Natsumi Riyu start to think deeply.

He continued.

"He just wanted to report on something about Rinrei, and he asked someone knowledgeable to come and talk to me about it."

"My subordinate understands."

The two butlers left with the body.

Not long after, a wounded butler rushed through the gate, knelt down, and looked at the still-smeared blood around him without daring to lift his head.

He began to explain the whole story.

"Master, this is what happened. After we arrived at the Nightmare-level Ghost Realm, the young lady also came."

The butler stated that Natsumi Rinri had reached Rank B, and that her fully unleashed abilities were characterized by dragon eyes, dragon wings, and the ability to manipulate extremely high-temperature flames, almost certainly confirming that she was a red dragon.
