Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

Looking at the terrified young man in front of him, Lin Zhiyu, who had just killed someone and was still covered in blood, asked a brief question.

Ju Rikuro nodded subconsciously, but couldn't help but imagine that Lin Zhiyu was a good person and would give him freedom.

However, at this moment, another group of people suddenly came from the direction where Lin Zhiyu had just rushed from.

This group of people were fully armed and murderous. They stopped temporarily after seeing Kim Mi-jeong and Busujima Saeko.

"Hey? You can still meet beautiful women on the road?"

"Haha! What are you two beauties doing here? Are you streetwalkers? How much do you charge for a night?"

"My dick is big! Can you please not charge me?"

As expected, Kim Mi-jeong and Busujima Saeko are still too beautiful, and the people in Amidahara are all bastards. It would be strange if no one talked about Kim Mi-jeong and Busujima Saeko in this situation.

But not everyone is lustful.

"Hmph! A bunch of losers who only think with their lower body! Shut up and get out of the way!"

At this moment, a tall man in a kimono with a terrible scar on his forehead walked out of the crowd and came to the front of the team.

At this time, Lin Zhiyu also pulled Tachibana Rikuro back to Jin Miding and Busujima Saeko.

As soon as the two sides looked at each other, they knew that they were the ones in charge on their own side.

The man in kimono turned his head to look behind Lin Zhiyu at the slave trader who had been killed, and then he said to Lin Zhiyu:

"Boy, you killed the person we wanted to kill. Do you know what this means?"

Lin Zhiyu held the sword in his hand and said calmly, "I don't know what grudge you have with the slave traders behind you. I'm not interested in corpses. You can take the corpse if you want it."

"Haha, we definitely want the corpse. That guy's head is very valuable, but..."

"No buts! I haven't told you my conditions yet."

"Conditions? Are you saying that we need you to set conditions if we want to get the body behind you?"

The man in kimono couldn't help but sneer as if he had heard a joke.

The group of armed men behind him, relying on their numbers, laughed at Lin Zhiyu wantonly, thinking that Lin Zhiyu was just a pretty boy who overestimated his own abilities.

Lin Zhiyu ignored the ridicule of these people and just said to himself:

"One of you just insulted two of my friends. If you can kneel down and apologize now, and then cut off your tongue, I will let you go. You can do whatever you want with the slave trader's body out back."

"Hmph, your joke is not funny at all!" The man in kimono looked at Lin Zhiyu with contempt, then waved his hand, signaling his companions to attack.

But just as the militants behind the man in kimono raised their guns and were about to pull the trigger at Lin Zhiyu, the shadow of a giant ape suddenly appeared out of thin air and swept his arms!

Whoa!

It was like sweeping a broom vigorously through a pile of fallen leaves.

A large group of people were instantly blown away and crashed heavily into the buildings on the street, even smashing the concrete walls.

Only the man in kimono dodged the attack with incredible speed.

He then drew his sword, but found that the giant ape's shadow was gone. He looked at Lin Zhiyu with a serious look and shouted, "Who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in kimono seemed to have noticed something and immediately moved to the side.

"boom!"

The road was cracked by a huge translucent arm.

The illusion of the Monkey God was fleeting.

The man in kimono, who was almost smashed into a pulp, widened his eyes in anger and crawled up from the ground. He looked very embarrassed with his dusty face.

"Humph, you're a dying person, so you don't need to know who we are."

Jin Meiting, who easily fried the fish with the help of the "Monkey God Virtual Image", now crossed his arms and smiled triumphantly.

So the man in kimono fixed his eyes on Jin Meiting and asked in a deep voice:

"Did you summon that short-lived monster just now?"

Jin Meiting said proudly:

"What? Are you not convinced?"

Just as she finished speaking, Jin Meiting saw the man in kimono in front of her snort coldly, and suddenly bursts of black air filled the area around him.

In a short while, the black air completely enveloped the man in kimono, but then quickly dissipated.

At this time, Jin Meiting no longer had any eyes for the man in kimono.

Where the man in kimono had stood before, there was now only a black minotaur with extremely developed muscles and a wild sword in his hand!

The author says:

Author's Note: Black Swordsman Abang is the formidable foe Aniloz encounters in the Iron Witch game when she takes Tachibana Rikuro from the slave trader. Due to time constraints, this scene is not included in the anime.

Chapter 4: Eat Well and Hit the Road

Looking at the minotaur in front of her with heavy breathing and bloodshot eyes, Jin Meiting frowned, realizing that her opponent was stronger than she had imagined, so she decided to try and see what the effect would be if she used illusion.

"Come and die!"

However, the Minotaur didn't want to waste any more time talking to Jin Meiting, and immediately rushed towards Jin Meiting with a wild sword in his hand.

"clang!"

The next second, Lin Zhiyu stopped the minotaur halfway and blocked the opponent's attack with his sword.

"Hmph! A weak human dares to be an enemy of the demons? Remember, the one who killed you is me, Abang, the black swordsman from the demon world!" The minotaur said in a muffled voice, and then increased his strength, trying to suppress Lin Zhiyu.

As a result, Lin Zhiyu remained motionless with his sword raised to block the attack.

The muscles on the Minotaur Abang's arms were completely bulging, and the veins were prominent.

He had used all his strength.

But it failed to crush Lin Zhiyu with its huge force as imagined.

"Get me up!"

Suddenly, Lin Zhiyu shouted loudly, pushed hard, and instantly pushed away the minotaur Abang's wild sword.

Hit by a huge force, the minotaur Abang took several steps back before he could stabilize himself.

He couldn't believe that Lin Zhiyu, a human being, could have such powerful strength!

"Come again!" At this time, Lin Zhiyu became interested and took the initiative to attack the minotaur Abang.

The two sides then engaged in a fierce fight.

Since both of them are power-type, their sword techniques are very similar, both with a bold and open style.

Thus, on the desolate street under the cover of night, the sounds of metal clashing rose and fell one after another.

After twenty or thirty moves, Lin Zhiyu, who already knew his opponent's level, suddenly snorted coldly and said:

"I won't play with you!"

As the words fell, a knife chopped down.

The minotaur Abang raised his wild sword horizontally above his head in an attempt to block the attack. The scene was exactly the same as when the two men first started fighting, except that the offensive and defensive relationship had changed.

At this point in the fight, the minotaur Abang thought that Lin Zhiyu's strength was on par with his, and he felt that he could block Lin Zhiyu's attack.

As a result, Lin Zhiyu's strength seemed to have suddenly doubled, and he immediately suppressed his wild sword, forcing him to lean back to avoid having his skull split open.

However, under the tremendous force like a mountain pressing down on one's head, it is inevitable that one will lose balance if one leans back like this.

The specific scene presented was that Lin Zhiyu chopped the minotaur Abang to the ground with one knife.

Losing balance and falling to the ground in close combat means being at an absolute disadvantage.

Lin Zhiyu seized the great opportunity to attack and slashed down with his sword several times in a row, leaving one deep bloody scar after another on the sturdy body of the minotaur Abang until his breath stopped.

The minotaur Abang died with his eyes open, and he could not understand until his death how a human being could have such powerful strength?

While there are certainly some powerful humans in this world, they are generally "supernatural." For example, Taimanin, while skilled in martial arts, are known for their supernatural powers, which include, but are not limited to, time-stopping, shadow escape, lightning, fire, regeneration, and so on.

In terms of physical fitness, humans are crushed by demons in all aspects. This is a huge innate difference between humans and demons, two different life forms!

So it is no wonder that Abang, a minotaur from the demon clan, was so unwilling to be defeated.

To this, Lin Zhiyu could only say one thing - sorry, my stats are higher than yours.

After the battle, Lin Zhiyu did not forget to search the corpses. He collected a lot of banknotes from the corpses on the street, and then asked Jin Meiting and Busujima Saeko to leave.

Of course, there is also the prisoner Tachibana Rikuro.

……

----

The bar called "Dragon Snake Flip" is one of the many places controlled and operated by the Kowloon Club in Amidahara.

This is also the place where Lin Zhiyu had previously gone to Huang Xie to inquire about information.

It was late at night, and Ju Rikuro was brought here by Lin Zhiyu, sitting in a seat in the middle of the hall in fear and trepidation.

At this time, on the wine table in front of Ju Rikuro, there was a large glass of juice and a variety of delicacies.

"Gulu..."

Smelling the aroma of the food, Ju Rikuro, who had been hungry for a long time, couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Sitting next to him were Lin Zhiyu, Jin Meiting, and Busujima Saeko.

Seeing that Ju Lulang's mouth was about to drool, Lin Zhiyu raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, saying to Ju Lulang: "If you are hungry and want to eat, just eat it. These things were originally ordered for you."

"I...this...is it really possible?" Ju Rikuro looked at Lin Zhiyu in surprise and doubt.

He had witnessed Lin Zhiyu killing people like crazy before, and he thought Lin Zhiyu was even more ruthless than the slave traders who captured him. He didn't expect that Lin Zhiyu would actually treat him to a big meal at this time?

"Could he be a good person with a cold face but a kind heart?" Tachibana Rikuro thought so, then he carefully picked up the cutlery, forked a piece of steak and put it into his mouth.

"Eat as much as you can! Eat enough." Lin Zhiyu looked at Tachibana Rikuro meaningfully, and asked Jin Miding and Busujima Saeko to keep an eye on Tachibana Rikuro, then stood up and was about to leave.

"Ayu!" Seeing that Lin Zhiyu was about to leave alone temporarily, Busujima Saeko immediately reached out and grabbed Lin Zhiyu's wrist.

Jin Meiting blinked and looked at the two of them curiously, not understanding what was going on.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Lin Zhiyu patted Busujima Saeko's hand, then gently broke free and walked towards the back door of the bar.

Having seen the interaction between Lin Zhiyu and Busujima Saeko just now, Jin Meiting was sure that something was fishy. After Lin Zhiyu left, she asked Busujima Saeko, "What the hell are you two doing?"

Busujima Saeko looked at Jin Meiting and said helplessly:

"Too lax! Don't you know we're being followed?"

Hearing what Saeko Busujima said, Jin Meiting couldn't help but widen her eyes:

"Ah? Is that true?"

……

Outside the back door of the bar, in a dark alley.

Lin Zhiyu put his hands in the pockets of his blue denim jacket, walked slowly for a few steps, and stopped at a position where the moonlight just happened to shine in.

"call……"

In the windless and silent night, Lin Zhiyu held his breath and heard the sound of another breath above his head.

Ever since he cleared the first world and received the blessing of the Yatagarasu, his spiritual attributes suddenly increased to over thirty. Lin Zhiyu found that his perception had become much sharper than before.

At this time, Lin Zhiyu, sensing someone above him, slowly turned his head to the sky.

The next second, under the cover of darkness and moonlight, a beautiful figure appeared in Lin Zhiyu's eyes on the rooftop.

She was a beautiful woman wearing a black bodysuit and black high heels, with her slender legs wrapped in black stockings and long, smooth black hair. In short, her clothes were mainly black, but her skin was white enough to reflect light. She had a peerless beauty.

The moment he saw the woman, Lin Zhiyu confirmed her identity.

Iron Witch! Annie Lorze!
