This thing is powerful enough to "bomb" a person; its power is comparable to that of some machine guns.

Maki Higashimaki was pushed aside by Kiyoshi Uesugi and fell to the ground. Before she could react, she was splattered with warm blood.

That was Uesugi Kiyoshi's blood.

Then she saw her prospective master, the benefactor who had saved her life, lying on the ground, lifeless.

At this moment, a multitude of thoughts surged through Maki Azuma's mind.

Guilt, anger, and sadness were all brewing in my chest.

She said it herself: the Twin Ghosts couldn't handle heavy firearms.

As a result, Uesugi Kiyoshi was assassinated right before his eyes.

what is this?

Did I kill him?

He saved me even as he was dying.

Maki Azuma clenched her fists instinctively, her nails digging deep into her palms.

"yes."

I hate fighting, I hate killing, I hate bloodshed.

"I selfishly acted according to my own whims."

"But what did I get in return?!"

"My father's fate is unknown, Kagura is seriously injured, and my savior died on the spot?!"

"If I had listened to my father earlier and taken over the Dongwen Association, none of this would have happened!!"

The huge gap between her beautiful ideals and the cruel reality made her heart sink to the bottom, and countless negative emotions raged and surged in her heart, as if to drag her into an abyss.

Maki Higashimoto's body trembled violently as she murmured to herself, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Her expression was a mix of crying and laughing, as if she were insane.

Another person has died because of her.

This person had recently made a prophecy that "countless retainers who follow you will die unjustly because of your naivety."

Now, this scene has actually unfolded before her eyes.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's collapse was the last straw that broke her defenses.

Previously, she only doubted her own beliefs.

Now, the cruel reality delivers a relentless and unforgiving denial.

She gritted her teeth, her pretty face contorted and terrifying by the intense emotional turmoil. She gripped the reverse blade of the ship, stood up, and her eyes were resolute and unwavering.

She was going to avenge Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Success would be best, but even if it fails, one can atone for the mistakes made by dying.

Maki Azuma was completely overwhelmed by her emotions; she was in a state of utter disarray, and it wasn't impossible for her to do something incredibly crazy.

This state has a specific adjective among extraordinary individuals.

This is a "precursor to ruin".

At that moment, Maki Azuma's expression froze.

She opened her small mouth wide in disbelief, her big eyes widening in astonishment.

To her horror, Uesugi Kiyoshi, whom she subconsciously believed to be dead, struggled to prop up his half-intact body and uttered a hoarse curse.

"grass!"

"It fucking hurts!"

This is in Chinese.

After he finished cursing, countless thick mirages surged out of his wounds, transforming back into the phantom of the dog god.

The Inugami that appeared this time, like Uesugi Kiyoshi, was missing half of his body.

However, Inugami showed no sign of pain; instead, he laughed wildly.

With that arrogant smile, a massive amount of mirage energy swirled around the Inugami's wounds, rapidly repairing his body.

On the Hundred Demons Scroll, another will-o'-the-wisp beside Uesugi Kiyoshi is extinguished.

Hyakumonogatari.

The Inugami Scroll.

Secret technique.

The value of bonds.

In Onmyoji: The Card Game, the shikigami Inugami is characterized by "resurrection" and "growth," with his terrifying attack and defense capabilities being secondary.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's improved physical abilities correspond to "growth".

And among the cards he owns in Onmyoji Arena, there are naturally cards corresponding to "resurrection".

For example, this card, "The Value of Bonds".

The effect is simple, straightforward, and powerful—"Restores all physical injuries suffered by Inugami."

In other words, as long as the soul remains, using this card is equivalent to a resurrection.

There are two ways to completely destroy the soul of a superhuman. The first is to kill them in a dream.

The second possibility is that he suffered brain death in reality—if that shot had blown Uesugi Kiyoshi's head off, it might have worked.

But now?

Under the cover of dusk and in the rain.

A thick, pungent smell of blood filled the air. Flowing blood, throbbing organs, and fresh chunks of flesh, drawn together by the mirage, gathered and dragged, as if they themselves were wriggling, gradually re-aggregating onto Uesugi Kiyoshi's body.

In the blink of an eye, the dog god formed from the mirage behind Uesugi Kiyoshi had returned to normal.

Uesugi cleaned up his tattered clothes, leaving his exposed upper body completely unharmed.

His gaze turned incredibly terrifying and sinister as he scanned the direction from which the bullets had come, looking towards the rooftop of a six-story residential building not far away.

With his superhuman eyesight, he took in the figure of a man in black.

"My house is on the first floor, you go hide!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't turn around, but yelled at Higashimaki Maki.

Overwhelmed with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, Maki Higashiwagi instinctively asked, "Uesugi-kun, where are you going?!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi paused, his lips twitching to his ears, an exaggerated and manic smile appearing on his handsome face stained with blood and rain.

"Is there even a need to ask?"

"Of course I'm going to kill that bastard who shot me!"

Chapter 67 Beheading

Only the echo of his words remained. Uesugi Kiyoshi stared intently at the residential building not far away, his bloodshot eyes filled with barely suppressed rage. He rushed out, picked up a wakizashi from the ground, and dashed away like lightning.

By the time Azuma Maki finally realized what Uesugi Kiyoshi meant, she could only watch his retreating figure from afar in her apartment building.

"."

"Is he going to brave sniper fire to kill people?!"

Maki Higashimaki bit her lip, feeling both worried and bewildered. Uesugi Kiyoshi's resurrection could be explained by "extraordinary power"—this ability was rare, but not without precedent. However, this ability shouldn't be able to work twice in such a short period of time, right?

If I get hit again, I'll die!

Uesugi Kiyoshi did not lose his mind. In the instant he was shot and fell, he thought about many things. After his body recovered, he even planned his route of action.

Are anti-materiel sniper rifles powerful?

It was enormous. He had experienced it firsthand. Although he didn't know if such a powerful weapon could threaten the humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, his small body, enhanced by the mirage, was easily carried away by a single shot.

So, is he afraid?

I'm not afraid.

If the enemy uses a Vulcan cannon to suppress him from a high vantage point, he will not hesitate to find cover, become a coward, and call for reinforcements.

That thing is truly "3,600 revolutions per second, bringing immeasurable merit to save all beings," and he didn't want to go and die.

But with just a sniper rifle, there's a lot more room for maneuver.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Uesugi Kiyoshi's abnormal eyesight had already taken in the entire scene on the rooftop of the residential building.

The masked man in black was disassembling a weapon; he was the one who had just sniped me!

The gunman was clearly careless—but you can't blame him, because that shot really shattered Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart. Who would have thought he would still be alive?

Uesugi Kiyoshi seized the moment when the black-clad gunman bent down to disassemble his weapon, and had already closed the distance considerably.

The straight-line distance between him and that residential building was only a little over a kilometer.

He casually tested his 100-meter speed yesterday, which was around ten seconds, the standard for a provincial-level athlete in China.

Of course, this wasn't his full strength.

Now, his strength and speed have reached their peak, fueled by the anger and lingering fear of having been killed once.

Emotions are a catalyst for humans to unleash their full potential.

The awakening of extraordinary individuals is mostly accomplished under extreme emotional conditions.

Now, Uesugi Kiyoshi is at full speed, his whole being seems to have turned into a blur, like a ghost wandering in the rainy night, one second he is on the horizon, the next second he is right in front of you.

The man in black, who was slowly and gently tidying up his weapons on the rooftop, caught a glimpse of a figure rapidly approaching. He looked up, his hand trembled, and he slammed his two-meter-long SOP anti-materiel sniper rifle to the ground.

He was so shocked his jaw almost dropped to the floor. How could this be!

He would swear on his life that the 14.9mm armor-piercing round he just fired hit the kid's left chest with absolute accuracy. Even if his heart was on the right side and he avoided the vital organs, half of his body was blasted into bloody foam, and he would have no chance of survival.
