Qihua and Jiuer, who were flirting, were startled and stood up at the same time.
Rong Qishi sighed, stood outside the door and said softly:
"Enough is enough, Shichika."
"well?"
"There must be a limit to childishness. You are already an adult, shouldering the title of the seventh generation head of the Void Sword style. I believe that Miss Jiu'er can use your Void Sword well, so I can trust you to her."
,The results of it?"
Rong Qishi looked at Qihua indifferently, without any warmth in her tone:
"Not only did you not become stronger, but you became weaker. Is it because of Miss Jiu'er?"
Saying that, Qishi turned his gaze to Jiu'er.
Jiu'er immediately felt goose bumps all over his body, which was the natural fear of weak prey when facing predators at the top of the food chain.
Before she could explain to Qi Shi, Qi Hua's tall figure had already stood between her and Qi Shi.
"...Sister has always been like this, talking in a condescending manner and talking to herself."
The woman he loved was threatened. Even though the other party was his sister, whom he depended on for life, Shichika still put on the stance of the seventh form of the Void Sword style [Du Ruo] with a serious face.
Rong Qishi actually smiled, although the temperature contained in this smile was close to zero:
"That's because I'm better than you, Qihua. In the six months since you left the island, have you made any progress? You defeated Zhenting Bat and Yulian Silver Pavilion, and defeated the frozen sky and cracked ice. This makes you complacent and feels that you can win.
Have you passed me, Qihua? You are so stupid..."
Her eyes were like a bottomless black abyss, looking directly at Qihua——
"I only need to [take a look] to understand your state."
Faced with his sister's almost harsh words, Qihua pursed his lips subconsciously. Subconsciously, he respected his sister Qishi, was attached to his sister Qishi, and was afraid of his sister Qishi.
Those eyes, Qihua knew very well, were not a 'skill' that ordinary people could possess.
"Are you afraid? I thought you would fight hard to protect Miss Jiu'er."
Jin Qishi took another step forward, her smooth and white jade feet stepped on the floor silently, but she was so frightened that Jiu'er behind Qihua trembled. Zhuan Qishi's eyes seemed to have passed through Qihua's body,
He locked onto Jiu'er:
"Miss Jiu'er, it seems like it was a mistake to entrust Qihua to you. You clearly said that I can just leave it to you without any worries."
"How I use my sword is my business, isn't it!?" Jiu'er was not frightened into speechlessness, but instead became more motivated to fight.
"That's true."
Qi Shi tilted her head and looked back at Qi Hua:
"Shichika, I need to teach you a lesson before the official duel. It's a long-awaited lesson, but this time you have to add a small bet if you lose."
"...What bet?"
"This kid has obviously guessed it and wants to ask again."
The corners of Yan Qishi's mouth gradually rose up, revealing a wicked smile:
"Of course it's [Miss Jiu'er's life]."
This time, Qihua really felt the malice and murderous aura emanating from her sister, and quickly put into attack stance, ready to attack.
Jiu'er didn't want to see the scene of brother and sister fighting each other, so he quickly said: "Wait a minute, Miss Qishi, now both of you sister and brother are contestants in the swordsmanship showdown before God. God will not allow you to attack the future without permission in advance.
Rival?"
Rong Qishi showed an ambiguous smile: "Ah, he...has already agreed, regarding my [abstention]."
When? When did Heather and Rin Qishi...wait, Mount of the Dead?
Jiu'er's face gradually turned pale, and his voice trembled slightly:
"You had contact with Susano'o when they were at the Mount of the Dead... Are you his divine choice?"
Yan Qishi smiled even more charmingly: "You know better."
This makes sense. The [Evil Sword] is far more powerful than other Shikisaki Kiki's variant swords, the god's laissez-faire attitude towards her, and her suddenly improved physical condition... Nanami and Tsuruga Camouflage
In the same way, he became the chosen one by the great God Susano-o!
Qihua looked in disbelief: "Sister, why on earth..."
"I don't want to see such a weak head of the Hollow Sword style. Qihua, fight me with all your strength next, with the belief of killing me. Otherwise I will kill Miss Jiu'er in front of you, you
You know I don't like joking."
"Even if my sister says so, I still..."
"As expected, you have become lax. You clearly feel my murderous intent, but you still look weak. If you are afraid, just get out of the way. My sister will let you go after killing Miss Jiu'er. You can rest assured."
"...Even if you are a sister, there is a limit to how you look down on others! Hey, Jiu'er!"
"well?"
"The signal is up to you."
Although he was confused about this duel, Jiuer calmed down and raised one hand towards the ceiling:
"The duel—begin!"
As Jiuer's arm waved down, Qihua rushed towards Qiushi. He did not use the subtle restraint movements he used when fighting against frozen air and cracked ice, because he knew very well that these small movements were not even a joke in his sister's eyes.
Under the gaze of my sister's eyes, all small actions are unnecessary.
"Are you just going to attack us directly? Very good, you've made some progress." Facing the charging Qihua, Qihua didn't even put up any attack or defense posture, and still stood there with many flaws.
"No matter how talented you are, no matter how powerful your eyes are, you can't see through anything without weaknesses!"
Shichika firmly believes that the final secret [Shikabashi] created by herself, which combines and applies the seven secrets of Kyūto-ryu, can definitely——
Suddenly, at the moment when Nanika used [Shichikabashi] on Nanami, Nanami calmly said:
"Disappointed, you are no different now than you were half a year ago. You are still much weaker than me. Let me show you a little bit... Void Sword style, starting with [Hina Poppy] and ending with [Shen Dinghua], mixed strike skills Continue—”
Qihua looked at her sister in surprise. His body was lying on the ground, facing the ceiling, with a dull look on his face.
Jiu'er on the side didn't even realize what happened.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. With her eyesight, she could not catch the movements of Qi Shi, and she did not even see how Qi Hua fell.
She only heard fierce and loud blows that were too fast to count, and then Qihua lay on the floor. But looking at Qihua, she didn't suffer any harm at all.
Bang, Qi Shi stepped on Qi Hua’s belly:
"By the way, this is the application of [Ninjutsu: Ashigaru]. It is a ninjutsu obtained from the Shinwa Ninja Army. It eliminates the impact and weight of all blows. If I had that thought, you should have been there when you fell. He died two hundred and seventy-two times."
Shichika had a dull look on his face and didn't come to his senses. He didn't really count, but since his sister said that, then Shichika had been hit 272 times, right?
"It looks like you didn't notice it, Qihua?" Qishi took her foot back from Qihua's belly.
"……well?"
"That's great Shichika. The enemies you encounter along the way are not strong. It's such an obvious weakness that everyone can see through."
"Weakness...what on earth is sister talking about..."
"Originally, I ran away from the island to tell you this, but I met that evil-minded god halfway. But seeing that you are so hopeless, I changed my mind - is this something that others should tell others?"
Qishi still kept his hands hanging down casually, without any posture. That was the posture of [Kyuto-ryu No. 0: Fig], and he walked slowly towards Jiu'er:
"You lose, then...it's time for me to take away the bet."
