Konoha's Mission Master

The two then parted ways.

Yakumo turned around and reached out to the Eternal Bliss Sect.

In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the vicinity of the ghost, and with his superb concealment skills, he temporarily hid his figure.

Yakumo's original plan was to launch the attack after sunrise.

However, believers kept coming, carrying offerings.

Looking over, Yakumo saw a girl sleeping soundly, a smile on her lips, as if she were having a sweet dream.

If they waited another night, the girl's fate... is predictable.

The pure white Nichirin Blade slid out.

He used his legs to smash through the window.

Broken bamboo pieces fell to the ground.

The surrounding pale yellow curtains were filled with the scent of sandalwood. A young man of about twenty years old sat leaning against a yellow cushion. His seven-colored eyes revealed a hint of anger, but his posture was very languid.

The curtains were covered with colorful lotus flowers, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Yakumo raised his head and looked at Doma.

With a whoosh, the white blade energy roared like a dragon!

Doma jumped up.

He smashed through the window and jumped into the nearby pool.

In an instant, the fences and wooden pillars along the way were cut down by the flash of the blade. Yakumo, like a giant bird, swooped down at low altitude and shattered the walls. The surrounding stones flew like bullets.

Doma smiled and used his fan to deflect the flying pebbles.

The enemy's figure burst through the wall, golden arcs of electricity crackling on the blade, reminding Yakumo of the Thunder Breathing user he had faced before, as the iron fan was swung.

"Blood Demon Art: Lotus Leaf Ice".

As Doma waved his iron fan, a wave of extreme cold spread outwards, and three ice crystals shaped like lotus flowers appeared in Yakumo's path.

The surrounding temperature instantly turned extremely cold.

Yakumo's powerful eyesight allowed him to spot the blood vessels within the ice crystals. These blood vessels were extremely fine, seemingly changing position with the flow of air. Yakumo instinctively recalled his past encounter with Toshiro and subconsciously held his breath.

The ice lotus flower hurtled toward Yakumo at incredible speed, the surrounding ice shards as sharp as blades, and the distance between them continued to shrink.

Yakumo gripped the blade tightly with both hands, and in his gaze, the originally pure white blade gradually turned red, like a burning flame.

—Yakumo accidentally activated the Crimson Blade.

The twin blades shattered the ice lotus like torches, sending pale blue ice crystals flying everywhere. Under the moonlight, they were covered with a silvery glow. Yakumo manipulated the twin blades to crash into the boundary formed by the ice crystals, and the surrounding ice crystals were quickly burned into white steam by the flames.

"Blood Demon Art: Scattering Lotus!"

The ice crystals in mid-air quickly gathered into scattered ice flowers, each petal as sharp as a blade. Doma waved his double fans, and the two gradually built up a boundary of ice.

"Wei Kingdom!"

The two blades crossed like claws, instantly shattering the ice in their path. The cold current swirled into a storm behind Yakumo, using the lotus as a springboard to bring the two of them incredibly close.

"Blood Demon Art: Frozen Clouds!"

Doma brandished his iron fans, unleashing clouds of icy energy containing a massive amount of ice crystals. He used this technique to force his enemies back, and the ever-advancing blades brought him a long-lost sense of pressure.

"Eternal Sleep Mist".

Yakumo spoke softly, and a thick fog rolled in, the leaden-gray mist mixing with the white clouds that were spitting out ice crystals.

Without pausing, he continued forward, the roaring blade aimed directly at Doma's neck.

Doma instantly stopped smiling, his expression turning indifferent.

At the critical moment of life and death, Doma no longer cared about putting on an act. He had never faced such a powerful enemy before, and all his attacks and defenses were being ruthlessly torn apart by the enemy.

Even his prized defenses could not stop the flaming twin blades.

"Blood Demon Art: Crystal Child".

Five clones made of ice crystals appeared in the courtyard, their appearance almost identical to that of Douma. These clones possessed similar characteristics to Douma and could even unleash some not-so-powerful Blood Demon Arts.

"Blood Demon Art: Winter Ice Pillar"

Water droplets in the lotus pond gradually surged upwards, converging in mid-air to form sharp icicles—all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Countless icicles fell from the sky!

The oppressive aura grew increasingly powerful.

A terrifying, extreme cold swept towards Yakumo from all around.

Numerous attacks converged at this moment.

Douma was very confident at this moment, believing that these few consecutive attacks would be enough to severely injure the enemy in front of him.

A white mark appeared in the air.

Those were fallen icicles.

The ice wall in front of Yakumo spread outwards layer by layer, suppressing all his room to dodge. At this moment, he was strategically cornered by Doma.

Dodging? Do I need to dodge?

When he is strong enough, he is fearless of all enemy attacks, whether it is an ice pillar falling from the sky or a wall of ice spreading wildly in front of him.

One strike is enough to... solve it!

His gaze sharpened, his fighting spirit soaring.

“Wei Kingdom”.

Yakumo spoke softly, and the burning blade illuminated the night sky. The next moment, countless blade energies spread outward, slicing through all the surrounding ice shards, the ice wall in front, and even Doma's clone.

The boiling fire melted the surrounding ice pillars.

The scorching heat was almost overwhelming.

From a distance, it looks like heavenly fire descending upon the world!

The pale white clouds were swallowed up by the thick fog.

On those crimson twin swords, Doma sensed an unimaginable sense of danger!

I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die.

Every cell in his body was reminding him that death was imminent, yet Doma's expression remained unchanged.

Without sorrow or joy, without anger or resentment.

Even death did not frighten Doma.

"Ten nights of ice burial under the moon".

Doma held his two fans horizontally in front of him, attempting to block Yakumo's extremely fierce slash. Countless fan ribs were pieced together to form a beautifully blooming lotus flower, and excitement appeared in Doma's eyes.

"Young man, you are more interesting than the world."

Ding.

As the weapons clashed, Doma was instantly astonished. His iron fan, made of steel and covered with colored gold, was easily severed by the enemy.

It felt like... a scalding hot knife cutting butter.

The surrounding ice pillars exploded and shattered at that moment.

Yakumo strolled forward and slashed straight down!

"Blood Demon Art - Mist Ice - Water Lily Bodhisattva".

This is Douma's signature technique. The surrounding water droplets and cold air surge into his body, enveloping him and creating a pale blue ice figure. Its shape resembles a Bodhisattva sitting in meditation with hands clasped together. As time goes by, the Bodhisattva's height increases to four meters. Enveloped in ice, Douma reveals a smile.

The next second, Doma's body was completely cut open.

The four-meter-tall ice bodhisattva was cut in half without any resistance, and the huge ice blocks collapsed in all directions. At the same time, the double blades swept horizontally, forming a cross-shaped blade aura.

Before Douma could react...

The head rose into the sky.

Doma's eyes were filled with shock and astonishment.

"how is this possible?"

"Was he beheaded?"

The head that had fallen to the ground murmured.

Yakumo crouched down, gazing at the corpse that was gradually turning to ashes.

This kill came far too easily; the Nichirin Blade's effectiveness against demons is far more exaggerated than imagined.

The surrounding ice gradually sank into the lotus pond, and the sound of bustling footsteps could be heard from all around, indicating that the followers of the Eternal Bliss Sect were rapidly arriving.

However, Yakumo still did not receive any notification from the game system.

"No! No! No!"

"You're so interesting, I can't die!"

The ghost head that had fallen to the ground spoke up, its body, which was turning to ashes, was gradually healing, as if death was being reversed.

What's going on?

In his perception, the enemy's aura had become even stronger.

But Kyojuro Rengoku once said that a Nichirin Blade could kill a demon by beheading it.

At this moment, he was somewhat puzzled.

Yakumo began to swing his sword... a hundred cuts in a single breath.

The momentum that was gradually gathering stopped, and the Nichirin Blade, burning with flames, pierced into Doma's body like a red-hot steel pillar.

He immediately ignited the surrounding cells that were coalescing, and as Yakumo swung his hundred swords, it was as if countless flames were burning inside Doma's body.

Even though he overcame the weakness of beheading through his own will.

However... the gap between heaven and earth still exists. Doma's physical attributes are around 40 points, while Yakumo's four attributes have exceeded 50 points.
