One hundred and ninetieth chapters excess tenderness
Semi-finals, first round.
Before the duel began, Shuten Doji's opponent Slickhead voluntarily forfeited and gave up this round of competition.
However, this does not mean that it has no possibility of winning, but it is to allow Shuten Doji to retain a little more physical strength.
If the worst happens and even Yagami Sora is defeated by Otonashi Cheyuki, Shuten Douji will be Nasuno's last hope.
Under the tremendous pressure brought by Otonashi Cheyuki, all the monsters in Nasuno united together like never before.
However, even Shuten Doji himself knew that if that situation really happened, his chances of winning would be quite slim.
After all, under normal circumstances, his strength is only on par with Otakemaru, and much inferior to the Lord of Arakawa.
There was nothing he could do against an opponent who could kill Otakemaru in one blow.
Therefore, the following duel is the one that determines Nasuno's future fate!
Semi-finals, second round.
At this moment, the contestants for this round are already in place on the ring.
On the right side of the ring, Otonashi Cheyuki stood there quietly with a sworn enemy in his arms, looking harmless to humans and animals.
Opposite her, Ye Shenkong looked equally calm.
Although there is nothing in his hands, there is a sweet and lovely mermaid princess by his side.
It's obvious that he intends to fight directly two against one.
Seeing this scene, the monsters at the scene were suddenly confused.
However, what confused them even more was that neither Otonashi Cheyuki in the ring nor the Queen on Yuhu Island showed any objection to this behavior, as if they acquiesced in unison.
In other words, two against one is very reasonable.
Although the demons were a little confused about the situation for a while, there was only one thing they knew in their hearts.
The only thing that can be done now is to believe that the other party can defeat that evil human girl and protect Nasuno from her clutches!
At this moment, not only the monsters at the dojo, but also all the monsters in Nasuno who were watching this duel competition, all roared in unison, cheering them on.
"Come on, leader Yagami, defeat her!"
"I'll leave everything to you, Leader Yagami!"
...
On the arena.
Amidst the shouts and cheers of the monsters, Yagami glanced at Otonashi Cheyuki opposite and spoke first.
"I never thought it would be like this when we meet again, Otonashi Cheyuki."
In response, Otonashi Chexue sighed lightly and said.
"You don't even want to call me captain?"
"It seems that he has completely regarded me as an enemy."
Ye Shenkong said unceremoniously.
"Stop joking, since you will appear in this duel, the purpose is already obvious, right?"
"I will not let anything hurt Cai, not even the so-called justice."
Hearing this, Otonashi Cheyuki couldn't help but be silent for a few seconds, and then held the Infernal Affairs in her arms.
The blade was filled with flame-like black death energy, and in front of everyone's eyes, the complete form of Incompatible Heaven appeared in her hand again.
Holding on to the irreconcilable fate, Otonashi Chexue's eyes instantly turned cold.
"Then, before I defeat you, you will also be regarded as an enemy by me."
"Be prepared for your awakening, Yagami Sora."
Feeling the substantive pressure in the other person's words, Yashenkong couldn't help but take a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed.
"This should be what I want to say."
"When I was in Okinawa, I learned a lot of ninja skills from Inspector Kosagawa. If you underestimate me too much, you will suffer."
"Um?"
Otonashi Chexue was stunned, and there seemed to be a hint of smile in the depths of her originally cold eyes, and she said softly.
"Then, let me teach you."
On Yuhu Island, Ye Shencai looked at the figure on the ring with unconcealable worry in his eyes.
"Then, I declare a duel..."
"start."
The moment Yashencai finished speaking, Yashenkong decisively reached out to Xiji.
"Princess Xiji, give me the knife!"
"yes!"
In line with Ye Shenkong's movements, Xiji immediately crossed her hands, and the hazy light on her chest immediately reappeared.
Seeing this, Otonashi Chexue narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly.
"Don't even think about it."
Before Ye Shen Kongba refused to kill him, she raised her hand and threw out the deadly weapon in her hand without hesitation.
The pitch-black blade turned into a deadly light, crossing the limitations of space in the blink of an eye and forcing itself in front of Xi Ji.
Damn it, the other party's reaction was too fast...
Seeing this scene, Yashenkong couldn't help but grit his teeth, and then gave up the idea of drawing the sword.
A thought quickly arose in my mind and poured into the limited glove.
Whoosh!
The irreconcilable sword penetrated Xi Ji's body, and the blade sank deeply into the ring.
At the same time, Xiji's figure reappeared a few meters away from Yashenkong.
In this way, the limited gloves have two charges left.
Then, the winner must be determined before these two charges are used up!
With this thought, Yashenkong quickly turned around, looking for Otonashi Chexue's figure.
For a moment, his eyes froze slightly.
Because in his sight, the trace of Otonashi Cheyuki had disappeared without a trace.
The next moment, a slightly familiar fragrance hit his nose.
Looking at Otonashi Chexue, who was already in front of him at some point, Yashenkong's pupils could not help but dilate a bit.
Oops--
Looking at Yagami Sora in front of him, Otonashi Chexue said coldly.
"No matter how powerful you are, the human brain is always just a simple machine with a single thread."
"There is only one thing that can be thought of at any time."
"When you think about saving her, you are actually giving up on yourself. Do you understand this?"
At this moment, Ye Shenkong recovered from the shock.
He instinctively raised his hand to use the second charge of the limited glove to distance himself from the opponent.
However, Otonashi Cheyuki's movements were faster than his reaction.
The moment Ye Shenkong raised his hand, she held down Ye Shenkong's wrist.
As if he had rehearsed it countless times, he skillfully stretched his hand along the bottom of the limited glove, and touched the fingers of Yagami Sora in the limited glove.
Feeling the softness and slight coolness coming from the palm of his hand, Ye Shenkong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
However, the reason why he was stunned was not because of Otonashi Chexue's abnormal behavior.
It was because after Otonashi Cheyuki put his hand into the Limited Glove, the Limited Glove seemed to have malfunctioned and no longer responded to his thoughts.
At this moment, he realized something belatedly.
It turns out that if multiple people use the Limited Gloves at the same time, the Limited Gloves will become ineffective because they don’t know whose thoughts to respond to...
At the same time, Otonashi Chexue said softly.
"What, if this happens, you won't be able to use this treasure, right?"
"Now, it's the general."
Looking at the delicate face in front of him, Ye Shenkong's heart sank to the bottom for a moment.
What an amazing fighting talent...
With this kind of response, the opponent has definitely simulated fighting with him as an imaginary enemy...
Even if you are facing a weak person like yourself, have you made such complete preparations?
If there is no finite glove, the possibility of victory is infinitely close to zero by relying solely on one's own strength, which belongs to the weak.
But despite this, I can't just admit defeat!
Since you are a weakling, then struggle like a weakling!
In an instant, he clenched his left hand into a fist, and then swung it mercilessly towards the face of the girl in front of him!
However, Otonashi Cheyuki just looked at the rapidly enlarging fist and had no intention of dodging.
Just a second before it was about to hit her, the punch suddenly stopped.
As if he had expected it, looking at Yagami Sora with his fists trembling in front of him, Otonashi Cheyuki couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Why stop?"
"Obviously, this may be your only chance to win."
"Yeshenkong, this unnecessary tenderness will hurt you sooner or later."
"So, before that, you must learn enough lessons."
She also clenched her fists.
Bang!
A punch with terrifying force hit Ye Shen Kong's abdomen hard, and the powerful impact even penetrated the body and spread out from the back.
In an instant, Ye Shenkong's eyes couldn't help but widen to the limit.
A severe pain shot straight from the abdomen into the mind, causing severe dizziness and vomiting. It was as if even the soul had been directly punched out of the body by this punch, and the vision became pitch black.
Under this punch, he couldn't help but bend down, with a painful expression on his face.
"Pfft, cough, cough..."
Otonashi Cheyuki took back her hand and commented simply.
"Nice abdominal muscles. It seems that you are exercising seriously."
"Then, how long can you last?"
While speaking, she punched him again without mercy.
"Darling!"
Seeing this scene, Xi Ji's body suddenly started to tremble violently, and she warned sternly.
"Stop it, human, or I will—"
Otonashi Chexue turned her face sideways and gave her a cold look.
The sworn enemy who had just submerged into the ring suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared strangely behind Xi Ji, and the handle of the knife struck Xi Ji hard on her back.
Caught off guard, Xi Ji groaned and was knocked to the ground by this huge force.
Before she had time to stand up again, the deadly force had already fallen down, and the dark blade was stuck in her neck, as if it would be cut off at any time.
Looking at Xiji with an angry face, Otonashi Chexue said calmly.
"I felt it was strange from the beginning. Judging from the speed of the knife I just struck, he shouldn't be able to react."
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have given him another treasure from Yugong City, which improved his mental strength and reaction speed."
"but......"
She turned around, looked at the pale Ya Shenkong in front of her, and said softly.
"If the mental power is improved, how many times the pain will be?"
The next moment, under the gaze of all the monsters, she punched hard again.
Then the next punch.
Another punch.
Punch after punch rained down violently on Ye Shenkong, showing no signs of stopping.
Gradually, Ye Shenkong's body became limp, being beaten like a sandbag by the opponent, and he completely lost the ability to resist.
The blood spattered from his mouth fell on the hem of Otonashi Cheyuki's kimono, which was embroidered with bright red flowers.
Such a scene is more like an inhumane torture than a duel.
Finally, Otonashi Chexue stopped.
Looking at Ye Shenkong who was already kneeling on the ground, twitching and shaking due to pain, he raised his eyebrows and said.
"What, you still refuse to admit defeat?"
Ye Shenkong reluctantly raised his head, looked at the girl with layers of shadows appearing in front of him, and squeezed out a few words with difficulty.
"I...can still hold on."
Looking at the blood dripping from the corner of the other person's mouth, Otonashi Chexue couldn't help but frown and said coldly.
"After today, you must give up all this useless stubbornness and that unnecessary tenderness."
She clenched her fists one last time.
At this moment, seeing this scene, Yuzi's pretty face in the Purple Gold Palace turned pale.
Her lips trembled and she said in uncontrollable panic.
"Stop, stop..."
"Hurry up and stop, Lord Yegami, he has already..."
She is not the only one who has this idea.
Outside the barrier of the dojo, the monsters who were watching the battle were already red-eyed. They kept hitting the barrier with their bodies and roared at the same time.
"Let go of the leader of the night god, human being!"
"Let me be your opponent, come at me, bastard!"
Finally, an angry sound that could no longer be suppressed sounded from Yuhu Island, covering up all sounds.
"That's enough, please stop it!"
At this moment, Ye Shencai had already broken the armrest of the throne and stood up from the throne.
The sharp stone scratched the palm of her hand, and blood dripped to the ground.
An indescribably terrifying coercion rose from her body, and the nine long tails behind her spread out wildly, just like the jade fox statue behind her.
For a moment, the sky in Nasuno faintly changed color.
Hearing this sound, Otonashi Cheyuki paused for a moment and looked at him with cold eyes.
"Watch your words, King of Nasuno."
"With your attitude, do you want me to agree to your request?"
She then raised her fist again.
Seeing this scene, Ye Shencai couldn't help biting her lips.
The next moment, she put away that indescribable terrifying power.
Under the gaze of all the demons, she slowly bowed to Otonashi Chexue, lowered her head and begged.
"I understand. In this duel, I count you as the winner. No matter what you want, please don't continue to torture my brother..."
"I beg you, please let me go."
As soon as these words came out, the Great Fox Dojo and even the entire Nasuno fell into silence.
In an instant, all the monsters' faces became extremely shocked, and they couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with their ears.
In the Purple Gold Palace, Feng stared blankly at the scene in the light curtain.
"Wait a minute, what did the Queen call Your Excellency Yagami?"
"elder brother?"
"Could it be said that Your Excellency Ye Shen belongs to Lord Fox God..."
Outside the dojo, the charming face of the new bride was full of disbelief as she murmured.
"I see, Lord Fox God, no wonder you prefer Lord Yagami so much..."
"So he is your child?"
On Yuhu Island, White Wolf was also stagnant in place.
It wasn't until this moment that she finally reacted.
Why would the Queen leave Nasuno and go to the outside world at every turn? Why would she trust the human named Sora Yagami so unconditionally?
It turns out that she has a brother in the outside world...
Hearing this, Otonashi Chexue's eyes showed a trace of satisfaction, and then he took out his hand from the limited gloves and let go of Yagami Sora.
Without her support, Yagami Sora was like a puppet that had lost its strings, and then collapsed backwards to the ground.
However, at this moment, he seemed to have been completely knocked down by the setback just now. His eyes had lost the determination and confidence he had in the past, and he was looking at the sky with a blank look.
There was no pain on his expression, only numbness.
Otonashi Chexue glanced at him, then walked up to him, leaned down, stretched out her hand to him, and said softly.
"Get up."
"Although as your enemy, I cannot approve of you, but as the captain of the fifth team, I am very happy to see my team members perform like this."
"Here, I promise you."
"If your sister can cooperate with my actions, then I will ensure her safety."
Hearing this, Yagami's empty eyes moved, staring at Otonashi Chexue's face in front of him, and said bitterly.
"But, I still failed."
"I obviously can't lose, I obviously want to protect Cai, I obviously..."
Otonashi Chexue listened quietly, and then said softly.
"Everyone fails, even you."
"But only by swallowing the bitter pill of failure can we continue to chew the fruits of victory and become stronger."
"Yakami Sora, stand up and become stronger."
At this moment, Yashenkong stared blankly at Otonashi Chexue in front of him, with a wry smile on his lips.
"I really am... no match for you, Captain Otonashi."
He reached out and took Otonashi Chexue's hand.
Otonashi Chexue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said softly.
"Although you are indeed no match for me now, in the future, maybe -"
Suddenly, her pupils lost their light.
Under the gaze of all the monsters, she let go of Yagami Sora's hand, turned around, walked to the edge of the ring expressionlessly, and then jumped straight down.
At this moment, Ye Shenkong endured the severe pain and supported his body to stand up.
He raised his head and shouted towards Yuhu Island.
"Referees from Yuhu Island, let's announce the winner of this duel now!"
Hearing this, Bai Lang couldn't help being surprised and said subconsciously.
"But just now, Her Lady Queen has announced that the winner is that girl——"
Ye Shenkong interrupted unceremoniously.
"Let me ask you, is the winner of this duel directly determined by Her Majesty the Queen?"
"Of course not." Bai Lang responded hesitantly.
"Then, give me a new sentence!"
"Think carefully about the rules of this duel!"
Ye Shenkong took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued.
"Falling beyond the edge of the ring is considered a defeat. Accepting defeat and losing the ability to fight is also considered a defeat."
"And I neither stepped out of bounds nor gave in. I still have the strength to continue fighting."
"But looking at my opponent, he has left the ring now!"
"So, this duel is undoubtedly my victory!"
Wha...what?
Hearing this, Bai Lang couldn't help but be shocked.
"puff."
Seeing this scene, the expression on Ye Shencai's face next to her gradually changed from shock to surprise, and in the end, she couldn't help laughing.
While laughing, he wiped away his tears with his fingers and choked with sobs.
"Really, brother, do you want to win even if you go to this step? Really, really, idiot, what a big idiot..."
At this moment, the eyes of Otonashi Chexue who fell out of the ring finally regained their sparkle again.
She subconsciously turned around and looked at Ya Shenkong on the stage, with a look of disbelief on her pretty face and said in surprise.
"This...what exactly is going on?"
"I have already said that this is a skill I learned from Inspector Kosagawa."
Ye Shenkong showed her a horrible smile, and then slowly opened his left hand, revealing the mini life and death weapon inside.
Hold it in your hand and shake it towards Otonashi Chexue.
"I call it, the Detective's Shuriken."
Looking at Otonashi Chexue who looked confused, he continued patiently.
"I think Inspector Osagawa should have reported to you, Captain Otonashi, that among the treasures of Uumiya Castle, there is a treasure called the Shrinking Lamp, which has the ability to shrink things."
"Could it be that..."
Otonashi Chexue immediately understood something, and the expression on her pretty face gradually darkened.
Ye Shenkong nodded.
"That's right, before this duel started, I borrowed the shrinking lamp from Princess Xiji, shrunk the life-or-death lamp, and hid it in the palm of my hand."
"Then, I have been waiting for the opportunity to come."
"If it weren't for Captain Otonashi's unnecessary tenderness at the end, I would probably be the loser."
"So what I said before, I return to you the original words."
Yagami cleared his throat, imitating Otonashi Chexue's tone just now, and said coldly.
"Such unnecessary tenderness will hurt you sooner or later, Captain Otonashi."
Looking at that handsome face, Otonashi Chexue pursed her lips, and her slender body trembled slightly with shame and anger.
After a long while, a word came out of his mouth bitterly.
"......mean."
"There is no other way. If you don't do this, I can't think of how to defeat you." Yagami spread his hands helplessly.
"Because Captain Otonashi, you are too strong."
He raised his head and shouted towards Yuhu Island above.
"Then, Your Lady Queen, it's time to announce the real results now, right?"
"Uh-huh!"
At this moment, Yagamisai finally wiped away her tears, and then solemnly announced to the entire Nasuno.
"The winner is the leader of Igazaka, Sora Yagami."
