Infinite: Start as a ghost

"Thunder Breathing, Sixth Form, Lightning Strike..."

"Water Breathing, Sixth Form, Twisting Whirlpool..."

"Secret Technique: Flame Breathing, Ninth Form... cough cough cough..."

Upon hearing the cough, Kuwajima and Urokodaki's expressions changed again, but it was too late to stop their attacks.

The four figures intertwined, Kaigaku was unharmed, while Urokodaki, Kuwashima, and Makijuro suffered a slash to the chest.

"Hahaha, you old fogies are really getting old." Kaiyue laughed triumphantly.

"Damn it, I'm too badly injured to unleash my ultimate technique," Makijuro said, kneeling on the ground, unwilling to accept his fate.

Because of his prosthetic leg, Sangdao fell down.

Only Urokodaki managed to support his body with his Nichirin Blade, remaining upright and not falling.

"No, I can't just give up like this." Makijuro forced himself to stand up.

"Since you can't use your ultimate technique, I'll give you all my other skills."

"Breath of Flame, Eighth Form, Eight Directions Blaze..."

Although Urokodaki wanted to conserve his strength, the current situation clearly prevented him from making that choice, so he could only grit his teeth and continue the attack alongside Makijuro.

"Water Breathing, Form Ten, Life Flowing..."

Kuwajima struggled to his feet: "Thunder Breathing, Sixth Form, Lightning Strike..."

"Heh, overestimating yourself." Kaiyue sneered, choosing to confront them head-on.

"Thunder Breathing, Second Form, Inari Soul..."

Instantly, five lightning blades rushed towards the three.

Makijuro was the most seriously injured; only one lightning blade was shot at him.

The other four routes split into two, heading straight for Sangdao and Urokodaki.

But at this moment, their teamwork and combat experience played a very important role.

They anticipated the trajectory of the lightning blades and avoided them all, leaving only Makijuro's lightning blade unscathed.

Kuwajima's attack broke through the only remaining attack, and in Kaigaku's astonished eyes, Makijuro set his sights on his body.

Urokodaki missed everything; he just kept spinning.

This move is very special; the initial attack is very weak, extremely weak, and not as strong as any of the other moves.

But the more it spins, the stronger its attack power becomes.

As long as the body can withstand it, and given enough time, the attack power of this move can be said to have no upper limit.

After using their moves, Kuwashima and Makijuro were temporarily exhausted and collapsed.

Kaigaku was hit for the first time, and it was the Flame Breathing technique with the highest attack power, which also forced him to use the Eighth Form.

In an instant, his body was torn to pieces; the sudden slash made him forget to cry out in pain.

However, as an Upper Moon, as long as his neck wasn't cut, there was no problem; it just meant his recovery would take a little longer.

"You..." Kaigaku, now recovered, was furious: "You will all die!"

During the time he was recovering, Urokodaki had already spun around five times!

Chapter 121 Dawn

"Thunder Breathing, Fifth Form, Heat Realm Thunder"

Although Kaigaku was furious, he chose to attack Urokodaki.

Kuwashima and Makijuro have already fallen and are no longer a threat, so the priority is to eliminate Urokodaki, who is still capable of fighting.

However, to his surprise, when he clashed with Urokodaki's sword, his own moves were repeatedly defeated.

"What?" he exclaimed. "How is this possible?"

His advantage stems from the power of his physical attributes.

And this advantage was actually suppressed.

"Die!" Urokodaki roared, once again cleaving Kaigaku into pieces.

The blade was already aimed at Kaigaku's neck, but he managed to dodge it in a moment of desperation.

"I want you all dead! I want to kill you all!" Kaigaku went completely mad.

"Even this isn't enough?" Urokodaki began to despair: "We've failed."

"Kill you all, kill you all!" Kaigaku said as he recovered, glaring fiercely at Urokodaki with resentment and malice in his eyes.

At this moment, Urokodaki had exhausted all his strength and collapsed weakly to the ground.

After a while, Kaigaku fully recovered. He squinted at Urokodaki and said, "I'll deal with you first to quell my anger."

Just as he raised the knife in his hand, an attack suddenly came from behind him.

"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderclap Flash..."

The attack was launched by Zan Island.

"What?" Kaigaku was shocked, as the blade was heading straight for his head.

He hurriedly raised his knife to block, but due to his physical exhaustion, Sangdao's attack, which was originally aimed at his head, suddenly changed its trajectory.

The sword swung downwards and, by sheer coincidence, severed Kaigaku's right hand.

After the attack, Sangdao fell again.

"You old bastard, you're still alive and you still have the strength to attack me?" Kaiyue roared in anger.

Having only one hand severed is nothing to Upper Moon; it heals in an instant.

"Don't forget about me." Maki Juro stood up, panting, and laughed wildly, "Old man Kuwajima, well done! You knocked his Nichirin Blade away!"

"Flame Breathing, First Form, Shiranui..."

He also launched an attack, but his target was not Kaigaku's neck; instead, he aimed directly at the Nichirin Blade!

At first, Kaigaku didn't react. Upon seeing Makijuro's attack, he instinctively jumped to the side to avoid it.

When he saw Makijuro's actions clearly, his expression changed drastically.

But it was too late. His Nichirin Blade shattered into countless tiny fragments under Makijuro's attack.

"Hahaha, hahaha, without the Nichirin Blade, let's see what you're capable of!" Makijuro laughed wildly.

Kaigaku's face was extremely ugly. He was very unwilling because he had been too arrogant and hadn't even had a chance to use his Blood Demon Technique.

Kaigaku's Blood Demon Art is unique; it makes the blade even sharper, adds real lightning attacks, and even has a real electrothermal effect.

It's not the kind of artistic special effects we had before.

Without the Nichirin Blade, his combat power was reduced by 90%.

At that moment, Kaigaku suddenly felt that the surrounding environment was becoming brighter.

"Oh no, it's almost dawn." His expression changed again: "Hmph, you're lucky. You won't be so lucky next time."

After saying that, he fled the scene.

Of the three, Makijuro was still able to stand still, while Kuwashima and Urokodaki were completely unable to move.

However, Makijuro had actually used up all his strength and couldn't move at all. He could only stand there and try to scare Kaigaku.

After Kaigaku left, he collapsed.

The three of them were unconscious for half a day. When Makijuro woke up, it was already noon.

Although he was the most seriously injured, he was the youngest and in the best physical condition among the three.

He quickly woke the two of them up.

The three of them could barely sit up, and all fell silent.

"What do we do? If he comes again tonight, we're doomed," Sangdao said.

Urokodaki said, "We have no choice but to leave this place."

"How do we get there?" Makijuro smiled bitterly. "The three of us can't even stand up now."

Urokodaki gritted his teeth and said, "Squeeze out every last bit of strength to leave. No matter what the outcome is, even if the outcome doesn't change anything, we absolutely cannot compromise with the demons."

The two were taken aback. Makijuro nodded firmly: "That's right. Even if we can't escape this calamity in the end, we can't bow down to the demons."

“Well said.” Sangdao laughed heartily. “We can’t just sit here and wait to die.”

Urokodaki barely managed to stand up: "Let's go, let's go now. We'll leave the Nichirin Blade here to reduce the burden."

"Anyway, there's no one here. If we survive, we can retrieve the knife later. If we don't make it through the night, there's no point in taking it with us."

"Okay." The other two also struggled to their feet and began to move around.

"Which way to go, to headquarters or to Makijuro's dojo?" Kuwajima asked.

“Let’s go to the dojo,” Urokodaki said. “Kyojuro is strong enough to deal with him, and it’ll be closer to us.”

“No,” Makijuro objected, “there’s a place closer.”

"Where?" the two asked.

Makijuro smiled mysteriously: "Let's go to a clinic; it's closer to us."

Chapter 122 Chase and Escape

"A clinic?" Sangdao asked curiously, "What kind of clinic?"

Makijuro laughed and said, "Miss Tamayo and Mr. Oni run a clinic. All we need to do is find a way to get there before dark."

Urokodaki chuckled, "So it's the clinic run by Lord Earth Pillar. Why did he suddenly become interested in opening a clinic? Could it be that he and Miss Tamayo..."

He ignored what Urokodaki said next, knowing he was joking.

Makijuro's expression became somewhat complicated upon hearing the words "Lord Earth Pillar".
