Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 393, Section 85: The Stitched-together Monster (Part 1)

Jin Ziyue narrowed his eyes slightly. The warning signs that had been lingering in his mind since earlier were becoming increasingly intense.

The person in front of me is a complete monster.

Because Jin Ziyue saw eight destiny words in him.

Although the energy of the eight destiny words is very weak, they can complement each other when mixed in one body.

It turned out to be the case.

Jin Ziyue understood the purpose of organizing the experiment.

Normally, a soul can reside in one destiny word. However, by using the blood of the destiny master as a container and the soul as a guide, the experimenter's soul is ruthlessly broken into countless fragments. Each fragment attracts a destiny word to attach to, and then they are fused back into a whole.

It was an experiment that was a blend of genius and madness.

Even more surprisingly, Yuichi Kamikawa actually survived and was reborn, gaining monstrous power.

Jin Ziyue's fortune-telling skills naturally allow him to see through eight different fate predictions.

[Defend Yourself] Reduces damage taken while increasing defense.

[Hidden Edge] Reduces damage; each instance of damage reduction is released together at the final critical value.
[Ghost Blade] A swordsman skill that randomly causes the user to lose sight and conceal the trajectory of their blade;
【Jun Yang】Each attack randomly deals additional damage in multiple hits; linear attacks can have an area-of-effect effect.

【Dragon Dance】Moves like a wild dragon, moves like lightning, greatly increases the agility limit;
[In Calamity] Attacks randomly inflict curses such as: blood loss, fainting, dazzle, exhaustion, and fear.
【Swallowing soldiers】"Swallowing" means slow, converting potential energy into kinetic energy. The slower the speed, the stronger the explosive force.

[Lone Phoenix] When her beloved dies for her, her combat power doubles.

Each definition appears somewhat vague, which is a sign of weak wording and unstable performance.

However, Yuichi Kamikawa was able to mobilize the energy of the entire Destiny Word, so that the energy of eight Destiny Words could simultaneously support one Destiny Word to exert its effect, which greatly amplified the effect of a single Destiny Word.

Even ordinary edicts written over several decades, when combined, amount to nearly five hundred years.

In other words, he was facing eight enemies who had used the same five-hundred-year-old prophecy in rotation.

Qi Tongli naturally recognized the person before him; it was the samurai of the eldest son of the Chixing family. But his appearance here at this moment—

Soon, news came through his earpiece that Kamikawa Yuichi had killed Akahira Raku.

The head of the Qi family was clearly stunned when he first heard the news.

Jin Ziyue immediately drew his hidden sword, lowered his body, and launched a preemptive strike like a tiger leaping out of its cage.

A sudden gust of wind swept up, the force of which splattered Chen Ruolan's face. Her eyes were filled with incomprehension, and her bangs were lifted up, revealing her bright forehead and high hairline.

Kamikawa Yu was not intimidated at all. He also raised his long sword to his side, the slanted tip of the sword like a snake's fang aimed at Jin Ziyue's heart. In an instant, it flew over like a dragonfly skimming the water, leaving a trail of air that cut Jin Ziyue in two like a bolt of lightning.

At this moment, Jin Ziyue clearly realized that the other party's target was Chen Ruolan.

It's likely that the NA organization already knows most of the secrets about this girl.

In the blink of an eye, the two clashed head-on. Jin Ziyue clearly sensed that the opponent's command phrase had changed, now displaying the effect of [Dragon Dance].

Their unrestrained swordsmanship was like a strong wind and sturdy grass. The two moved quickly while slashing each other, advancing and retreating, evenly matched. In just one exchange, the frequency of their arm swings had become indistinguishable to the naked eye.

With both knives in his hands, Kamikawa Yuichi and Jin Ziyue's hidden blade flashed amidst the clanging of metal.

Jin Ziyue went all out from the start, and there was no warm-up when facing this monster full of ferocity.

In his "Dragon Dance" state, Kamikawa Yuichi's swordsmanship is unrestrained. His long sword moves like a dragon stirring up the water, each strike creating a giant screen of sword shadows. The blessing of the five-hundred-year-old destiny makes the angles of "Dragon Dance" tricky yet perfectly natural, with the elongated sword shadows being impenetrable.

Jin Ziyue's muscles bulged, and his sleeve sword, only a foot long, moved nimbly between the longswords, each inch shorter and more dangerous, yet he held his own against the whirlwind of attacks. His light and agile point-and-shoot technique broke through the surface, frequently blocking the inevitable path of the longswords, forcing Kamikawa Yuichi to interrupt and restart his attacks.

The two paused midway, retreated simultaneously for less than two seconds, and then simultaneously fired at each other again, their blades clashing, edge to edge, like ferocious beasts, their sharp teeth biting and leaving no room for mercy.

In an instant, sparks clattered like showerheads, illuminating the space where the two were rapidly moving, creating a scene resembling fireworks.

Yuichi Kamikawa's command effect had already been switched to [Jun Yang].

The expected "surprise attack" did not work; Jin Ziyue's keen perception of the words of command left the opponent's strategic changes exposed.

The longsword slashed down swiftly, and the amplification effect of [Jun Yang] allowed it to contain multiple bursts of hidden force within a single strike. During the slash, the opponent's wrist and weapon were more likely to suffer greater damage.

While defending, one must guard against the continuous, hidden force coming from the blade, the number of times and the strength of which are unknown, forcibly disrupting the opponent's rhythm and making it impossible to defend against.

Jin Ziyue remained steady and methodical, maintaining the same level of force as his high-speed variable frequency strikes. Kamikawa Yuichi knew that his opponent was holding back out of caution, but the prerequisite for holding back was having enough power to withstand such a continuous and relentless force.

Even with both sides moving at high speed, changing positions several times in a second, when they retreated again to catch their breath and adjust their gazes, they looked at each other and saw the fierce tiger hidden in each other's eyes.

Both of them had injuries.

Meanwhile, Jin Ziyue's carbonization was slowly healing, and the opponent's mysterious material was also slowly taking effect.

Jin Ziyue judged that the opponent's command switching time was within half a second, and the healing effect was not to be underestimated. It would probably be difficult to achieve results without heavy weapon bombardment.

Qi Tongli and the old butler, Huagang, exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

It wasn't just because of Kamikawa Yuichi's exceptional bravery, but also because of Jin Ziyue's skill.

"Even among the White Walkers, he is a top-tier expert, comparable to some old ghosts who have been immersed in martial arts for hundreds of years."

This is Hanaoka's evaluation.

Qi Tongli frowned and remained silent, observing the situation in the arena, lost in thought for a moment.

Chen Ruolan sat obediently on the ground to the side, watching the two fight with a bored expression, and even thought about getting a bag of bear-shaped cookies.

Qi Tongli looked at Chen Ruolan, his eyes lingering on Chen Xingtong, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

A voice shouted through the earpiece; it was the Twelve Demon Moons, who were about to arrive, pleading with Qi Tongli to hold off the invaders.

"We can't delay any longer," Qi Tongli said to the old butler, Huagang, beside him.

The old man nodded in acknowledgment, took a step forward, and the next second he was already between Jin Ziyue and Shangchuan Youyi.

Without any visible movement, he abruptly ended the upcoming clash between the two.

Boom! Crack! Crack! —

The violent air currents raged and swirled, as the sword energy that the two had barely managed to stop was split and repositioned in different spaces by the Seven Star Array, thus dissipating its force.

The old man stood in front of Kagawa Yuichi, and when he looked up, a glint of light flashed in his glasses.

He stopped him, brushed the dust off his suit with his black gloves, and said to Yuichi Kamikawa:

"Your opponent is me."

The following chapters will be a few days later; I'm out of drafts...
