"Cough...cough cough...! Cough cough cough!" Kamino opened his mouth and vomited out a lot of blood.

The burning and severe pain in his chest made Kamino almost faint. His consciousness and thoughts became fragmented due to this severe pain.

His leap back just now saved his life.

Just when Qingto's sword was about to strike down, Kamino reflexively stopped his body that was continuing to pounce forward as quickly as possible and jumped back quickly.

Although Qingden's knife still hit him...but because he was slightly away from Qingden's attack range, Qingden's knife just didn't cut hard, and only the tip of the knife hit his body.

Thanks to this, he was not killed on the spot and still managed to breathe.

However... although he was not killed on the spot, Kamino only had half his life left.

Qingden's "falling from the sky" blow just now struck him from his left shoulder to the right side of his abdomen.

It was a huge wound that almost cut open his entire upper body. The amount of blood loss alone could be described as "horrifying".

The huge amount of blood loss made Kamino's face and lips now horribly white.

I don't know how many sternum and ribs were severed and injured... The left lung seemed to be injured as well. Every time he took a breath, the pain was so painful that Kamino almost screamed.

Of course - blood loss, broken ribs, injured lungs... these are not what make Kamino feel most desperate.

What made Kamino feel most desperate now... was that he suddenly felt the light around him dim.

He raised his eyes and looked up - Qingto and Mai Kinoshita were walking on the wooden bridge one after another, walking towards him at a leisurely pace.

Qingdeng's face didn't show a trace of emotion. With an expressionless expression, he just quietly held the sword in his hand and walked towards him quietly. The sword that naturally drooped and dragged on the ground scratched out on the wooden bridge.

"Chu-cha-cha" harsh sound.

His figure, stretched by the moonlight, was pressed against him like a mountain. "Wait, wait!"

It was clear that his lungs were in severe pain, and the huge amount of blood loss had made Kamino feel weak all over. But for some reason, after seeing Qingden walking toward him with his sword in hand, an invisible force suddenly surged into his throat, making him

Although it was a little stuttering, it was very loud...begging for mercy.

"You win...I surrender." "Please...please spare my life!" "I swear, our anti-barbarian group will never attack you again!"

"From now on, our anti-barbarian group will not cause any trouble to you again!"

Kamino's words were fragmented... he just said whatever came to his mind, without any hierarchy or logic.

He was incoherent and racking his brains to say all the words he could think of to beg for mercy. He fell into a quagmire called "fear"... As Qingdeng gradually approached, he fell deeper and deeper into this quagmire.

.

Along with "fear" comes a strong "desire to survive."

The fierce and heroic look he had just before when he started a life-and-death duel with Qingdeng has disappeared.

What is left here in front of me...is a poor man who is constantly begging for mercy, driven by "fear" and "desire to survive".

While begging for mercy, Kamino crawled on his hands and knees in a direction away from Aoden. Fortunately, he was so seriously injured that he still had the strength to move.

He could only crawl on the ground like a bug, so it was naturally impossible for him to get rid of Qingden, who was still able to walk normally.

Qingto's attitude toward Kamino's begging for mercy was to completely ignore it.

He and the anti-barbarian group have already had a deadly feud, and the relationship between the two parties has long been a life-or-death relationship. How could he spare his life because of Kamino's words...

What's more, Qingden didn't believe what Kamino said, "We will never attack you again from now on."

The only people who would believe such a lunatic who cares little about human life...are probably the only mentally retarded people.

Qingto, who was unmoved by Kamino's begging for mercy, said nothing. Everything that needed to be said... was all said in the fierce duel just now.

Qingden stepped out of the small bridge, stood on the river bank, walked to Kamino's side, and then without a moment's hesitation raised the sword above his head, preparing to give Kamino the final blow.

The long and narrow shadow of the knife hit Kamino's face, which was filled with fear.

At the moment Qingden was about to swing the knife down... a sudden change occurred! Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah!

In an alleyway far behind Shenye, in the darkness where the moonlight could not reach, a group of black shadows suddenly squirmed quickly!

This rapidly squirming black figure suddenly rushed out of the alley that was as dark as thick ink! It shot towards Qingdeng like an arrow from a string! The sound of fast footsteps on the ground made the area just recovered.

The space that had been quiet for a short time once again burst into a tense atmosphere!

The speed of the black shadow was extremely fast. In just a blink of an eye, he crossed most of the street and rushed to Qingdeng.

Poof - a silver snake popped out from the black shadow's left waist, biting Qingdeng's neck in an arc! The sudden change made Qingdeng's pupils shrink suddenly.

The knife that was originally raised above his head quickly and reflexively retracted in front of him, and then a huge force spread along the blade and spread throughout his body.

clang!

The blade of the knife rubbed against the blade, making a sharp noise that was close to tearing the eardrum.

Sparks flew... Another small gap appeared in Dingguishen's sword. "Oh... it was able to block my sword..." A young male voice with a hint of joking came from in front of him.

Qingdeng's expression suddenly became solemn, he raised his gaze, looked past the two swords that were being held together, and looked at the face that was very close to him.

This is a very young face with ordinary features, the kind of face that people forget once they see it.

Compared to this person's face... it was this person's knife that attracted Qingdeng's attention more.

The arc of this man's sword is very large. Qingdeng's Dingguishen is a kind of sword with a large arc, but the arc of this man's sword is even higher than that of Dingguishen.

The arc is so large that the sword is more like an enlarged version of a sickle than a sword. Kinoshita Mai, who was standing behind Aoto, was stunned for a moment by the change in front of her.

The moment she regained her composure, Kinoshita Mai's face darkened, she took a step forward, twisted her slender waist like a water snake, used her waistband legs, and aimed a high kick at the chest of the mysterious man.

The mysterious man glanced at Kinoshita Mai's kick from the corner of his eye, used both arms to shake off Qingto's sword, and then jumped back quickly, Kinoshita Mai's toes scraped the air in front of his chest in vain.

Pass.

"Good leg skills." The mysterious man briefly praised Kinoshita Mai's kick in an understatement.

Let him dodge and only hit the air with his kick... Mai Kinoshita, whose face fell slightly, quickly retracted the kicked leg, and then looked at this young man who did not know his background and origins with Qingden next to him seriously.

.

The expressions of Ayoto and Mai Kinoshita... were particularly solemn now, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Whether it was the speed with which this person approached Qingteng just now, or the sharp knife he slashed at Qingteng, or the movement he used to avoid Kinoshita Mai's kick, it all pointed to one thing - this person is a master who cannot be underestimated!

…

Are they from the anti-barbarian group? As soon as this idea popped into Qingdeng's mind, he heard Kamino, who was staring at the mysterious man with a blank look on his face, murmuring in a shocked tone:

"Kama\Kama Itachi-sama...?"——Sir?

Qingteng keenly discovered that Kamino actually used honorifics to address this mysterious person, and the tone he used was also very humble.

To be able to make Kamino, the leader of the anti-Yi group, use honorifics in such a respectful manner...——Isn't he a member of the anti-Yi group... Qingden's eyelids sunk slightly, and the look of solemnity on his face became more serious.

A bit richer.

"..." The mysterious man...that is Kamaita glanced at the dying Kamino at his feet, and then withdrew his gaze.

He ignored Kamino's call and didn't look at Kamino again.

I just sneered in my heart: The person that Rakshasa guy wants me to protect has such a moral character?

Although he doesn't want to obey Rakshasa's orders, Kamitachi is also a person who is willing to accept defeat.

Since they had already agreed that "if Rakshasa wins this battle, he must listen to Rakshasa", then no matter how reluctant Kamamitachi is, he can only bite the bullet and accept the task of "secretly protecting Kamino".

It's just that - although he made an agreement with Rakshasa that he would secretly protect Jinye, he did not agree that he would "do his best to save Jinye".

Therefore, Kamitachi, who has no enthusiasm for this task, has always maintained a mentality of "doing the work but not doing anything". He doesn't care about Kamano's life or death.

He, who had been hiding not far away and quietly watching the duel between Qingto and Kamino, even thought, "I might as well just watch this guy get hacked to death."

However - after a fierce ideological struggle, and seeing Qingden holding the Dingikishin high, preparing to deal the final blow to Kamino, Kamano finally decided to show up to rescue Kamino, whose life was hanging by a thread.

It's not because I suddenly became passionate about this task.

Instead, he suddenly had an idea and wanted to disgust the Rakshasa he hated so much!

Didn't you ask me to protect this person secretly? Okay, no problem. But it's a pity that the enemies this guy faces are too strong, and I don't have time to rescue him. As you know, I'm not like Lord Otakemaru.

Due to my strong strength, it was already too late when I discovered that Kamino was in danger, and I only rescued one body in the end.

Anyone with a little knowledge of medical knowledge knows that the injuries Kamino is suffering from now are irreversible, even if the most advanced Western medical techniques of this era are used to save them.

If Kamano's body was thrown in front of Rakshasa, and then he said the above words to Rakshasa righteously... Kamaitachi was very much looking forward to what kind of expression Rakshasa would show!

As long as he insists "I am indeed too late to rescue", then Rakshasa will definitely be blameless towards him.

Although his rank is much lower than that of Rakshasa, Kamitachi is still one of the cadres of the Punishment Party.

No matter how capable Rakshasa was, he could not criticize him, a fellow cadre, without any concrete evidence.

This strategy that can disgust Rakshasa... is simply great! Kamitachi can't wait...

He couldn't wait to use the plan he just came up with to disgust Rakshasa!

Whether this plan can succeed or not, Kamino's body is the key.

If Qingto, who is an official, is allowed to kill Kamino, then he will definitely recover Kamino's body...

Kamino was the leader of the anti-barbarian group, and it was impossible for the government to let his body be exposed in the wilderness like this.
To be continued...
