Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

His figure stood still, facing a servant coming towards him with a knife. Facing the numerous weapons, he used his flesh and blood body to grab the blade and pulled it into his arms.

The servant whose long-handled weapon was taken away was stunned: "Huh?"

The naginata changed direction and was held by Fan Yu, who slashed it out in an instant.

A sharp blade flashed before everyone's eyes, and a strong wind whistled through the leaves on both sides of the yard, causing them to fly everywhere...

The red maple leaves swept up from the air, bringing with them a gorgeous and beautiful feeling of flying all over the sky. At the same time, a line of blood appeared between the eyebrows of the Kanjo Bugyo, whose blade was taken away by Fan Yu.

puff!

The next second, the servant's body instantly split into two halves.

4 Beheading

Scarlet hot blood flowed from the broken parts of the body on the ground, quickly dyeing the stone bricks on the ground red, and the red maple leaves became even darker.

The pungent smell of blood soon reached the nostrils of everyone present, causing them to frown subconsciously.

The people in the Kanjo Bugyo stared blankly at the bloody scene before them, unable to come to their senses for a while.

"This……"

The flash of the knife just now was so fast that in the blink of an eye, the body of their companion was torn apart.

At this moment, those Kanjo Bugyo servants who were besieging Fanyu at close range were completely frozen in place, their hearts filled with fear and cowardice. Compared with Inazuma's truly elite soldiers, they were just ordinary servants who were responsible for maintaining order on a daily basis. How could they have ever seen such a bloody scene?

At this moment, they could neither advance nor retreat... They stood there stupidly and at a loss.

Some of them were new recruits. When they saw such a bloody scene and smelled the pungent smell in the air, they vomited on the spot.

Shinsuke Hiiragi, the head of the Kanjo Bugyo, stared at the scene in astonishment. The pungent smell of blood in his nose made his stomach churn. However, he had seen many battles in his youth and recovered quickly.

Thinking about the situation he would sooner or later face after his secret deal with those people from the Zhidong Kingdom, his expression gradually calmed down, and he immediately shouted, "What are you standing there for? Take him down quickly."

Faced with Shinsuke Hiiragi's words, many of the Kanjo Bugyo servants remained dazed, only a few veteran soldiers woke up as if from a dream, and they attacked Fan Yu.

The naginata, like a spear, thrust straight at Fan Yu from two meters away. It flashed with a sharp cold light, and it seemed that it was about to pierce Fan Yu's body completely with several holes.

At that moment, their bodies suddenly froze in place, and the sudden thrust stopped them.

Before Shinsuke Hiiragi could reprimand them for stopping, he saw the arms and long handles that the servants had thrust out were all separated from their limbs and scattered directly on the ground.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

A shrill scream of pain suddenly resounded throughout the place.

The servants covered their broken arms with wounds, expressions of pain on their faces.

Fan Yu turned his gaze to Hiiragi Shinsuke: "Why do you think I would wait here quietly for you to regroup before attacking?"

He held a blood-stained naginata in his hand, silently proving the truth behind the broken arms of the servants. It wasn't the fault of the Kanjo Bugyo servants who didn't react, but rather that Fan Yu's speed wasn't even on the same level as theirs.

The current result is a natural outcome.

Fan Yu took a step forward and walked towards Shinsuke Hiiragi... The Kanjo Bugyo in front had lost the power to stop him and could only watch him move forward step by step.

Shinsuke Hiiragi's body stiffened and he stepped back subconsciously, but halfway back he felt that he had lost his dignity as the head of the "Buyo".

He suppressed his inner fear and calmly pointed at Fan Yu, "Back off! Don't come any closer. You may be strong, and the troops on the outlying islands are no match for you. But you must know that behind Fengxing is the general of Inazuma."

That lord was a powerful being who participated in the Kanreya War 500 years ago and is the most powerful Thunder God among the Seven Rulings of the Earthly Realm!

Fan Yu: "So?"

"So, do you know what you're facing?" Hiiragi Shinsuke warned earnestly, "When you attack me, it's a provocation to Inazuma, a provocation to the general's decree..."

Before he even uttered the word "war", Shinsuke Hiiragi's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

In his field of vision, the finger he was pointing forward suddenly separated from his palm, and a streak of blood flew out from the wounds on both sides of the fracture, followed by a tingling sensation, and the pain became more intense.

Shinsuke Hiiragi groaned in pain and looked at the other party with disbelief in his pupils: "It's that invisible slash again!"

"No, it's not that you can't see, it's just that your physical fitness is too poor to keep up." Fan Yu said lightly, the blood-stained naginata in his hand, like a toy stick, flying in the air.

When he came in front of Shinsuke Hiiragi, the long handle of the naginata just fell and was tightly grasped by Fanyu's hand.

Facing the flashing blood-red blade in front of him, even the calm and composed Hiiragi Shinsuke couldn't help but frown: "Are you... going to commit an act of disobedience?"

"Who are you disobeying?"

Hiiragi Shinsuke: "Eh?"

"I won't give people like you time to retaliate and make the situation more troublesome." Fan Yu looked at the other party very calmly, raised the naginata in his hand, and slashed it horizontally.

Chi!

The sharp blade flashed an arc of light in the air and went straight through Shinsuke Hiiragi's neck.

Then——

Shinsuke Hiiragi's head rolled directly from his neck to the ground, and the expression on his face still showed the shock before death.

Shinsuke Hiiragi, the head of the Hiiragi family, who controlled the finances and was one of the three magistrates of Inazuma, died here.

In the field.

It fell into deathly silence.

Fan Yu slowly retracted his naginata and threw it aside.

His eyes fell on the face of the maid who had just come over to remind him, and he slowly walked over: "Is there anything to wipe it?"

The maid nodded dully and held out her handkerchief.

Fan Yu wiped the blood from his palms with a clean white handkerchief and said to her, "Thank your eldest daughter for me. For the sake of delivering the message, kill this official and everything will be settled."

The maid stared at this scene blankly, not knowing how to respond: "..."

Fan Yu did not wait long, and left Kan Ding Fengxing's residence on his own at the doorstep where everyone was shocked.

There was no answer here that he wanted.

in situ.

As Fan Yu's figure disappeared into the distance for a long time, the people in Kanding Fengxing finally came back to their senses from their fear.

"Master Fengxing..."

They looked at the head of Shinsuke Hiiragi rolling on the ground. Many people present felt their scalps tingling when they saw the pair of astonished eyes that were still open after death.

Whether it was for the retainers of the Hiiragi family or the Kanjo Bugyo, this was absolutely a devastating thing.

It was neither assassination nor poisoning, but in a fair and open environment, the leader who symbolized one of the three power centers of Inazuma was beheaded by an outsider at his doorstep.

If the General does not interfere in external affairs, this will definitely become a major event that will cause turmoil in the entire Inazuma.

And those of them caught in this turmoil will undoubtedly become pawns at the center of the storm...

"Go and inform the young lady!"

The typo Tong→Zhong has been corrected. The next update will be in the evening.

5 new ships

The warrior was stunned, not understanding the connection.

But the warrior was shaken by what Fan Yu said.

[Is that gentleman really dead?]

He has been devoted to martial arts since he was young and has never slacked off, but for various reasons he lost the opportunity to serve the public, deviated from the right path and became a ronin of the Nobushi clan.

Only that adult gave him the choice to start over!

Even though he was merely a link between that adult and the Fatui, and was responsible for handling some matters that that adult could not handle openly, he believed that, as that adult had said, it was for the betterment of Inazuma.

The last time we saw each other was several months ago, and when I heard from him again, he was already dead?

"I do not believe."

Rage drove the flames of the blade in his hand, burning even more fiercely.

He rushed towards Fan Yu's neck, slashing and killing him.

Fan Yu raised his right arm with a backhand upward gesture, and the silver-white sword collided with the flaming blade, striking out a crimson flame. The scorching air wave spread from the center point to the front of the two people, as if they were in a sea of ​​fire.

Ding!

Another collision.

He swung upwards to avoid the block and then switched to the thrusting form of his long sword.

The cold light of the sword flashed from the tip of the sword, and the sword he held slashed towards the warrior like a blade.

This strike had no technical content at all; it was simply a counterattack after a defensive move. However, at the point of contact between the two sides in hand-to-hand combat, such an attack was very useful.

The warrior's expression changed slightly beneath his helmet. He had previously felt the force of Fan Yu's sword, how heavy it was to face it head-on. But now, at such close range, avoiding it was impossible.

Blazing flames emerged from his blade, making it look like it had completely transformed into a torch. The warrior raised the blade and poured all his strength into the attack.

boom!

The blades clashed repeatedly, but this time the sound was no longer the crisp sound of before, but rather like the collision of two fists. The warrior who took the blow saw his flaming blade shatter on the spot the next second.

The right arm suddenly dropped down as if dislocated, and half of the blade held in the hand fell directly to the ground.

Zhi——!

White smoke rose from the ground.

Fan Yu held a silver-white sword in his hand and pointed it at the opponent's neck.

The warrior felt the sharp cold light from the sword, and his body trembled. He subconsciously raised his head, staring directly at the man who had defeated him from beneath his helmet. However, the moment he met Fan Yu's golden eyes, he felt his vision being completely absorbed.

It wasn't some special effect, but simply a feeling of being overwhelmed by the other person's demeanor, unable to move. His knees softened and he knelt down involuntarily.

"I'm defeated." The warrior lowered his head and admitted defeat.

Fan Yu looked quite surprised. He had rarely seen anyone admit defeat so decisively.

But he did not retract his sword: "You are just a discarded pawn, no matter whether the people you see are dead or not."

The warrior raised his head in surprise: "What did you say?"

Fan Yu looked around. It was an uninhabited island with only the salty and humid sea breeze blowing. The occasional smell of vegetables wafting over his head silently told a fact.

"When you truly value a person, no matter how weak or humble he is, you will never let him wait in such a barren place." Fan Yu said lightly.

The only possible scenario is that the target needs to endure hardships and infiltrate the enemy.

However, the warrior in front of him was acting like a black glove, waiting to kill him when the truth was revealed.

The warrior listened to Fan Yu's words in silence.

He didn't have Fan Yu's intelligence, but humans could intuitively sense whether someone liked or valued him through their behavior. Deep down, he naturally knew the answer.

"Okay, let's put aside the boring topic. Since it's difficult to wear a mask, do you know where to find a boat to go to Inazuma Castle? No... just having a direction is enough." Fan Yu said seriously.

The warrior was stunned for a moment, then he said subconsciously, "In two days, someone from the Fatui will come to deliver supplies. If you want to go to Inazuma Castle, that's an option."

Fan Yu: "Thank you."

"As a defeated general, it is a blessing for me to be alive." The warrior's tone was a little confused. He lowered his head to pick up the broken sword on the ground and suddenly stabbed it into his abdomen.

puff!

The sudden sound caught Fan Yu off guard.

The warrior in red armor knelt on the ground, his hands covering his abdomen, his body tilted to the side out of control.

"This is...the ending...that I deserve."

The warrior finished his sentence with difficulty, blood came from his mouth under the helmet, and his breathing gradually stopped.

Fan Yu looked down, his face expressionless.

He didn't like the spirit of Bushido, but he wouldn't interfere with the other party's decision. He just felt a little regretful that he hadn't asked all the questions.
