I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 268
The drizzle was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was gradually getting brighter. However, amid the lightning and thunder, it was difficult to hear the sounds outside clearly, but the woods outside seemed too quiet.
"...Doesn't it seem a little too quiet outside?" Chang Sanwu asked in silence.
"It's a bit quiet. There are enough shikigami and our clansmen outside to take care of it, so there shouldn't be any problems..." The clansman next to him also noticed something was wrong, but felt that he might be too worried and said.
But before he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly flew out of the grass in the woods, fell heavily to the ground, dropped a samurai sword, and groaned in pain. It seemed that several ribs were broken, and gradually Passed out.
"!" Chang Sanwu and others were stunned, looking at the dark woods.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, a dark figure walked out of the woods. The power of the punch in his hand seemed to have still dissipated. The pair of eyes that exuded a chill in the darkness were so clear that he walked away alone. He came over and came to the front of Chang Sanwu.
Like a god of war, he came to them silently, but amid the roaring thunder, exuding an invincible aura.
Li Yan's raincoat seemed unable to protect him from the continuous drizzle. He was already soaked. He saw this suspicious cave at first sight. He raised his head and looked at the cave filled with fire, with traces of rain flowing on his cheeks. , secretly thinking: "It seems that this is it, I finally found it..."
"Who are you?" Chang Sanwu looked at him and asked calmly.
Li Yan withdrew his attention from the cave, then looked at the group of them, and said expressionlessly: "We meet by chance, I have no interest in telling you your names, and I have no interest in knowing who you are. I came here. In order to bring my friend Miss Sasafune back, the people guarding outside felt that I was not very welcome, so I had to come and find it myself... That's all the nonsense, I want to ask..."
Suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened a little, and the ferocity and murderous aura immediately moved the faces of monsters and people present. In the pattering cold rain, he asked: "Miss Sasafune, what are you doing?" Where was it hidden?!”
"……Ah."
Chang Sanwu sneered. He stared at Li Yan standing in the drizzle. His hand clenched the handle of the demon knife and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Mermaid is absolutely crucial to my plan. I can't put it aside." She leaves it to you."
Immediately, the shikigami behind Chang Sanwu rushed towards Li Yan. They were basically all intermediate monsters with better strength. The tribesmen used their demon swords one after another to wait for the opportunity, and surrounded him one after another, forming a pincer attack with the shikigami from both inside and outside.
In the endless darkness and the heavy rain, Li Yan suddenly took a step forward. In an instant, he broke away from the enemy's encirclement and ran quickly through the forest. His movement was like a ghost. Suddenly, he was with this group of demon slayers. He and Shikigami fought together at the end of the night.
It was just a pair of hands, a pair of empty hands, but they seemed to be carrying infinite power, displayed in front of Chang Sanwu. That person's fist struck out in the darkness, like thunder and lightning piercing the darkness, in the light of thunder. At that flashing moment, it hit the fluttering shikigami as if competing with the thunder in the sky, and it flew away with one blow, simply and without leaving any trace...
"..."
Chang Sanwu was stunned and secretly guessed the origin of this person...
"ha……"
"ha……"
…
As a result, the darkness gradually became quiet. Li Yan panted slightly in the rain. After a few ups and downs of breathing, he calmed down. His eyes stared at Chang Sanwu standing in the entrance of the cave. He walked alone and finally walked to In front of Chang Sanwu, those Chang Shi gods and tribesmen who were buried in darkness were completely silent.
There are no words between the two of them. They are both smart people. It is useless to talk too much about some things. Talking too much is nothing more than a burden.
But just like that, the murderous intention between the two people became more and more intense, and the swords were at war with each other, and they finally fought.
"It seems that something went wrong today. I encountered an incredible monster..." Chang Sanwu silently pulled out his sword, sneered, and faced him.
※※※
The sky gradually became brighter, and the drizzle gradually stopped.
Accompanied by Misaki and other monsters, Natsume Takashi and Tanuma Kaname came to the old bus stop that Tohru told them about on the phone.
"This is..." When Natsume Takashi came here, he immediately remembered that this was the place where the little monster girl who wanted to return the towel was. He did not expect that Li would be here. The last stop of Yan's investigation.
"Are you here too?" Suddenly, a cold male voice asked.
In the hazy sky, the young man with a somewhat indifferent expression, long hair scattered, and his right eye wrapped with a spell seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. He stood up from the station and looked at Natsume Takashi asked.
"Mr. Toba..." Natsume Takashi's eyes became slightly serious, he looked at him and said.
"It seems that my cousin has caused you a lot of trouble. I'm sorry..."
Shiba Jingji, a young and promising young man with a cruel and somewhat gloomy temperament, smiled and said, "But it's too late to rush over now. I advise you not to rush over."
"...My senior has passed away. Mr. Toba, how involved are you in this matter? Miss Sasafune is my friend. I will never allow anyone to hurt her. Please stop." Natsume Takashi Without giving in even a step, he looked at him and asked directly.
"I have no involvement at all, but I can't say that I haven't been involved. My cousin Chang Sanwu has been trying to kill me over the years because of family conflicts. I just heard last night that he arrested you. Do you know me?" The mermaid... It seems that he has found a monster sealed by the ancients, and now he is in trouble..."
Shiba Shizuji said with a smile.
"The monster sealed by the ancients..." Natsume Takashi and Tanuma Kaname were both stunned. At first, they didn't understand what Ba Shijiji meant.
However, suddenly, the ground began to shake slightly...
"Was there an earthquake?" Tanuma Kaname asked in surprise.
"...It seems that Sanwu has already started to take action." Chang Jingji's smile also faded, he walked out, raised his head and looked into the distance.
The ground shook slightly. When Tanuma saw Shizuji coming out to look out, he couldn't help but follow his gaze. As a result, his eyes could not clearly see the monster, but in that mountain forest, he saw A huge shadow arrived...
"Natsume, what is that shadow over there?" Kaname Tanuma became a little uneasy and asked Natsume.
Natsume came back to his senses after the earthquake. He followed what Tanuma Kaname was pointing at. As a result, he seemed to have forgotten to breathe for a moment. He showed an unbelievable expression and stared blankly at the place in the distance. A strange movement in the forest...
"what is that……"
※※※
A powerful barrier was set up at the entrance of the cave, but in an instant, Li Yan punched the empty entrance with all his strength, and the powerful barrier set up by the demon slayer was shattered like glass. , was roughly untied like this.
"Unexpectedly, there is still a way out..."
Li Yan retracted his hand, and then he felt the cold wind blowing from the cave, which was really biting.
After Chang Sanwu fought with him, and after a hard fight between them, Chang Sanwu's extremely sharp demon sword was still not as good as Li Yan's bare hand. After the weapon was knocked away, he keenly Escaped into the tunnel.
It should be, Sasafune is here.
He was about to start chasing after him when suddenly, a girl's voice whispered in his ear: "You can't go in."
Li Yan was slightly stunned, and immediately made a habitual dodge. As a result, in front of him, there was a ghost girl who looked very similar to Natsume Takashi and had once competed with him in a race.
"It's been a long time, Li." The girl said with a smile.
"...Yeah, it's true that I haven't seen her for a long time." Li Yan was silent for a while, looking at her quietly, and then answered.
At this moment, Li Yan was fighting hard several times and looked a little embarrassed. The monsters headed by Madara were still fighting with the shikigami on the outside, so they covered him in this area. At this moment, he was always ready to carry out the final beheading operation, but he was stopped by this mysterious girl. .
"However, it seems this is not the time to reminisce about old times. Li, don't go in, there is a very scary monster inside."
The girl cast her gaze into the bottomless tunnel and said seriously.
"No, no matter what is there, I have to go in. I came here to rescue Miss Sasafune." Li Yan shook his head and said indifferently.
When he was preparing to take action, Yama Ai's warning to him kept echoing in his memory.
