The quality of a weapon can indirectly determine a person's strength to a large extent.
"Shua——"
With the scabbard pinned to his side, Yae Ji pulled out Ying Fukiyuki, holding the hilt of the knife tightly with his palm, and the sword groaned softly, as if he was happy to see the light of day again.
The bear demon seemed to sense the sharpness of the divine weapon, and for a moment did not dare to attack again. Instead, like a crab, it surrounded Yae Ji and observed carefully.
Cut with a knife!
Yae Ji was the first to attack, and an unparalleled cherry-colored sword light burst out from the spiritual sword Sakura Fukiyuki!
"Woo~"
The bear demon was attacked and did not dare to step forward easily. The nose bones were shattered by the light of the sword, and streams of blood flowed from the big black nose.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Yae Ji waved Sakura Fukiyuki faster and faster, trying to stimulate the 'Ron Dance' and give the bear demon a long-range attack effect. When he was about to get close to the bear demon...
The bear demon roared angrily and finally chose to attack!
Yae Ji narrowed his eyes and looked up at the bear demon, which was leaping high and ready to bite.
Shadow, sunlight.
"This is the time you've been waiting for!"
Yae Ji's body exploded away, and the cherry-colored spiral knife light burst out from [Striking Slash] surrounded the bear demon and strangled it crazily!
When the bear demon landed, its whole body was covered with wounds.
But this time, the wound was no longer about chopping the fur. The fur was then torn into fat and muscle, and even more, the white bones inside could be seen.
The repelled Yaeji was in the "spring" state of instant dodge, so he drew his sword and dodged!
A black shadow penetrated the bear demon with the scarlet cherry mark, and it seemed that the whole world was quiet.
Yae Ji, who was behind the bear demon, was still swinging his sword.
The wrist is bent, and the cherry-colored arc suddenly enters the sheath!
"Click!——"
"Chihhhhhh~"
There was a penetrating wound on the chest and abdomen of the bear demon, and the black and red blood spurted out wantonly after receiving the order to sheath the blade! The brown fur was quickly stained, and even the gorgeous crystals were coated with a blood-colored film.
"Bang~"
The bear demon fell to the ground, his eyes blurred, and the air flow from his big black nose blew up the crushed lime on the ground. Every time he sucked in oxygen, a large amount of blood was squeezed out from the penetrating wound on his chest.
It's not dead yet.
Yae Ji slowly walked up to the bear demon, and a cherry-colored arc flashed. Yae Sakura, who was standing by the mouth of the valley, didn't even see her brother's movement of swinging the sword clearly.
"puff--"
Just like the previous scene where the patrol member was beheaded, the black and red blood gathered into a fountain, washing the dirty ground wantonly, getting dirtier and dirtier the more it was washed.
Yae Ji walked to the entrance of the valley, and Yae Sakura, who was hiding aside, rushed up and hugged her brother tightly.
"You're not hurt, are you? Why didn't you escape? Why?! If you leave, what will Rin and I do? What should we do?! Wuwuwu~"
Sakura's suppressed emotions seemed to explode at this moment, sobbing softly, and her petite shoulders kept shaking.
Yae Ji hugged Sakura's back with one hand and gently stroked the black hair with the other.
He knew that Sakura was actually very strong. When her mother died, she didn't even fully understand the meaning of death.
Sakura doesn't talk much, she is more willing to take practical actions. Her only smile will only be shown in front of her family.
When did she laugh the happiest? When she went to the back mountain to see the cherry blossoms the year before last. Unfortunately, he fell asleep under the tree halfway through.
Yae Ji lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance on his long pink hair, "Okay, okay, you are so old, and you still cry like a little girl. Doesn't Sakura want to surpass me? Doesn't Sakura want to become a shrine maiden who protects one side?
?”
"Uuuu~ I don't want to be a shrine maiden anymore. I just want everyone to be well. I'm very happy when my brother and Rin can be by my side."
Yae Ji heard the movement at the entrance of the valley, patted Sakura on the back, and whispered in her ear: "Someone is coming."
Sakura took a half step back and withdrew from Yaeji's embrace. She wiped away the flowing tears with her small hands, and her face returned to its usual gentle state. However, she couldn't wipe away the redness at the corners of her eyes.
Nozawa, who was exhausted, finally rushed over. When he saw that the bear demon was cut into two halves and was already dead and could no longer die, he sat down on the ground.
"Ji...Ji-sama, you are so powerful, you are worthy of being a shrine maiden of this generation."
Sakura whispered a few more words about her father into Yaeji's ear, and Yaeji nodded to express his understanding.
Not long after, Lord Yae arrived with members of the village patrol team. After seeing the bear demon being killed, there was still a strange look in his eyes.
"Captain, Kimura and the others are all dead."
"This bear demon is too strong, even those wolf demons may not be able to make a single move in its hands."
"So what? Didn't you still get killed by the miko-sama?"
"How powerful is the miko? The guards and exorcists in the big cities are not that powerful, right?"
The three or two patrol members who recovered the corpses gathered together and talked quietly. The three to five meter cracks on the ground like spider webs, the stones cut into hundreds of parts, and the black and red demon blood splashing everywhere can all prove the intensity of this battle.
.
Some people who were familiar with the dead elite members were still remembering them, while others were shocked by this battlefield and the fighting power of this generation of shrine maidens. While they were shocked, they were also full of respect for Yae Ji.
An empty space somewhere.
The Eightfold Divine Lord frowned, "Are you still going forward to explore?"
"Yes, I suspect the source is nearby. Holding Sakura Fukiyuki in hand, even if you can't defeat the opponent, there is still no problem in escaping."
Yae Sakura's face turned pale when she heard her brother's answer. She couldn't help but wink at Yae Ji, and even had a slightly pleading look like a small animal.
Lord Yae thought for a while and said, "Okay, you pick a few people. If there are too many people, it won't be of much help to you. The others will have to deal with the corpses of these monsters."
The man took another look at the sky and said: "At the latest in the evening, whether you find it or not, we will return immediately."
"yes!"
Not long after, Yae Sakura looked back three times, always worried, fearing that in the blink of an eye, she would never see the person she had lived with since childhood.
Yaeji smiled and waved his hand.
Turn around.
There were five people left in the patrol, and Nozawa was among them.
"If anything goes wrong, run away. Don't be obsessed with fighting, and don't interfere in my fight unless necessary. Do you understand?"
"Got it!"×5
They all know that Yae Ji, who is holding a spiritual sword, has a terrifying combat power. If they forcefully intervene in the opponent's battle, it is very likely that Yae Ji will be held back.
"Well, let's continue to explore forward, pay attention to both sides of the canyon, and report immediately if any monster appears."
...
Yae Ji lowered his breathing rate. The battle just now consumed him a lot of energy. After eating something, he drank a bottle of bitter Yu Bai Juice. It could be said that he barely recovered his energy.
Since the wells were dug in the village, fresh water resources were relatively abundant, and he had attached great importance to training his physical strength. At least now, he could barely control Sakura Fukiyuki for high-intensity battles.
What surprised him even more was that he did not light up the blade return on the skill panel, but found the trick through several uses in actual combat.
Is he also a genius? A late bloomer?
In the canyon, the sun is not visible and the sky is dark.
Ying Fukiyuki shook unnoticeably for a moment, and Yae Ji concentrated.
