Ghost Slayer: My Wife Kanao

"I've offended you, Mr. Urokodaki."

Sam Miller slowly pulled out his Nichirin Blade from his waist. He had been practicing hard these days, and his strength had indeed improved rapidly.

Although the strength of Sakonji Urokodaki is far above his own...

But deep down in his heart, he had always wanted to challenge him as soon as possible.

Facing Sam's challenge, Sakonji Urokodaki did not draw his sword because he had not brought one.

"Teacher, take the sword."

Sabito couldn't help but throw the Nichirin Blade from his hands.

Sakonji Urokodaki took the sword and gently stroked the blue blade, feeling its sharpness.

Then, he shook his head.

*Clang!*

The sword landed on the ground, inserted straight into it, making the sound of a sword cry.

"The Nichirin Blade is not needed yet."

He smiled and broke a branch from a tree, facing Sam, who was ready to go, squinting his eyes slightly.

Sam didn't get angry because of Sakonji Urokodaki's action, and remained calm.

With the sword held horizontally in front, Sam's body bent.

Sword stance.

On the opposite side, Sakonji Urokodaki watched this scene with a smile.

The next second...

With a gust of wind blowing, Sakonji Urokodaki disappeared in an instant.

As if he had never appeared.

At this moment, Sam's pupils shrank unconsciously, and at the same time, a strong chill came from the back of his neck.

Ghost Abilities: Hazard Warning triggered.

Almost without hesitation, his body suddenly dropped low, rolling toward the ground.

"Water Breathing: Third Form. Flowing Dance."

The figure of Sakonji Urokodaki moved at high speed like water in an instant, and several phantoms appeared along the way.

"So fast."

Just as Sam stood up, Sakonji Urokodaki's figure appeared like a shadow.

The branches crossed the air, producing ripples, like a stone falling on the surface of a calm lake, and the ripples spread to the surroundings.

Instinctive touch from the danger warning.

Subconsciously, he blocked the sword and struck it in front of him, but was blown away by the powerful force from the branch.

*Boom...*

He fell to the ground, an afterimage flashed by, and the branches waved toward him, so Sam dodged hurriedly.

A series of attacks were like a torrential rain, one wave stronger than the other, and they never stopped.

"Water Breathing: First Form. Water Surface Slash."

"Water Breathing: Fifth Form. The Merciful Rain of a Dry Sky."

"Water Breathing: Seventh Form. Drop Ripple Thrust."

One move after another, the attacks continued.

...

Before he knew it, his body ached in many places, which was caused by being hit by the tree branch.

If it had been a Nichirin Blade that hit him, he would have been bruised all over by now.

"Finished?"

Sakonji Urokodaki looked at his panting counterpart.

"Hoo hoo..."

Sam exhaled, looking at Sakonji Urokodaki. The opponent's strength was outrageous.

This is the strength of a 'Pillar.'

Compared to Kanae Kocho, who is also a "Pillar," he is almost several levels stronger, and the pressure is immense.

However...

Fighting for such a long time...

He also gradually grasped a trace of understanding.

He stood up and looked at Sakonji Urokodaki.

He inserted the sword into the sheath.

Bent over.

Bent forward.

A posture of drawing a sword.

Sakonji Urokodaki frowned slightly. Although he was amazed that Sam dodged many of his attacks, Sam still missed a lot.

If it had been a Nichirin Blade in his hand, Sam would have been bloody at this moment.

"Is it over?"

Sakonji Urokodaki looked at Sam.

And at this very moment...

*Hum!*

The sound of sword chanting made the air vibrate at this moment, and the five fingers clenched tightly.

Draw the sword.

Cut.

In an instant, it exploded with extreme speed.

For a moment, extremely powerful.

In an instant, the sword stopped near Sakonji Urokodaki's neck.

But at the same moment, a tree branch touched his chest.

"I lost."

Feeling the branch on his chest, Sam sheathed his sword and bowed.

Although he didn't want to admit it, it had to be said that Sakonji Urokodaki's branch arrived on his chest one step ahead of him.

If you lose, you lose.

Nothing can be denied.

"No, I lost."

Sakonji Urokodaki shook his head: "If it were a battle of life and death, I would already be dead, but you'd still be alive."

Sam was silent. He naturally knew what Sakonji Urokodaki meant. As a demon, unless his neck was cut off by a Nichirin Blade, he would not die. Even if his heart was pierced by a Nichirin Blade, he would recover slowly.

"It's because of Mr. Urokodaki's carelessness."

Sam shook his head.

If he hadn't been careless, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to fully charge and draw his sword just now.

"No..."

Sakonji Urokodaki shook his head: "In a battle of life and death, there is no carelessness, only life and death."

"You win."

Sakonji Urokodaki looked at Sam and, at the same time, took out a map from his pocket:

"The areas circled above are places where demons are suspected to have appeared nearby."

Sam smiled, took the map, and bent slightly at the same time: "Please take care of Kanao during this time."

"Alright."

Sakonji Urokodaki nodded.

"Thank you."

Sam expressed his gratitude, and in the next second, his toes touched the ground, and he swept toward the distance like the wind.

It's time to go.
