Volume 4: The Undead Chapter 251: The Battle between the Executioner and the Demon Monk (Part 1)
Before Ogata and Aotaro could decide the winner -
Chikanosuke's residence, 3rd floor -
"You may not have any other skills, but you are very skilled at escaping!"
"Who said I'm a female ninja?" Atachi replied to Yichun with a mocking tone, "'Running away' is one of the required skills for ninjas."
"Humph." Yichun grinned and sneered, "Then I want to see how long you can hold on."
After facing off against Ichijun, Atachi has not had any direct confrontations with Ichijun.
Ichijun swung his sword and she dodged - Atachi repeated this process over and over again.
The first shot fired by Atachi just now successfully injured Yijun's left shoulder.
Judging from Yichun’s current condition, the injury on his left shoulder has had a significant impact on him.
After being hit on the left shoulder by Ating, Yichun's left arm has been hanging limply at his side and he has never even lifted it up.
With one arm crippled, Yichun can only swing the sword with his right arm. Both his strength and speed are far from what they were at their peak.
At the same time——Ichijun’s enemy now is not just Atachi.
"This female kunoichi is annoying, but you two unkillable bastards are just as annoying!"
Ichijun, who was getting increasingly annoyed because he couldn't hurt Atachi at all, used his right shoulder as an axis and swung the large naginata in his hand impatiently to sweep away the two young men on his left who were rushing towards him.
These two young men were the two poor villagers that Yichun killed after climbing to the third floor.
The inhabitants of this island would turn into cannibals once they died, so as expected, the two young men killed by Yichun got up again after death and turned into cannibals that could not be killed no matter what.
The two young men who turned into cannibals, based on their instincts, constantly launched crazy attacks on Yichun and Atachi.
However, because Atachi had been intentionally using Yichun's huge body to block the vision of the two ogres, the two ogres basically only attacked Yichun.
In other words, while Yichun is fighting with Atachi, he also has to free up his hands to deal with the two ogres that keep resurrecting.
Ichijun's left arm was injured, his strength was greatly reduced + the cannibal was there to provide indirect assistance = which allowed Atachi to hold out for so long under Ichijun's fierce attack.
However, even so, Atachi gradually fell into a disadvantage in the fight with Yichun.
Even though Yichun was not in peak condition due to his injuries, every strike he made was still powerful.
If he were hit by Yichun's sword, his body would definitely be cut in two - Ating was completely confident about this.
While fighting with Ichijun, Atachi also tried to find an opportunity to use her two major melee weapons - wakizashi and kunai - to attack Ichijun.
Although Yichun is huge in size, he possesses agility that is extremely inconsistent with his huge size.
Atachi seized the opportunity to throw out a few kunai, but they were either dodged by Yichun or deflected by the large naginata in his hand.
As for wakizashi, let alone.
There is a huge difference in height between the two.
The difference in height brings about a difference in attack range.
Even if the weapons used by the two were of the same length, Ichijun's attack range was far greater than Atachi's - not to mention that Ichijun used a large naginata and Atachi used a short wakizashi.
When Atachi rushed to the range where he could chop Isshun with the wakizashi in his hand, Isshun could have used his large naginata to kill Atachi countless times.
Therefore, if Atachi wants to defeat Yichun, the only way is to use her ultimate trump card - the iron cannon.
However——A-Machi’s cannon had already been used once before.
Even though the cannon in A-Ming's hand was a new cannon improved by his father, with much higher accuracy and power than other cannons, it still had the same huge weakness as other cannons - it could only fire one round. After each round, it took a lot of time to reload .
While fighting with Yichun, A-Machi was seizing every minute and every second to reload the cannon in his hand.
Dodging Yichun's attacks while reloading the cannon - you can imagine how difficult this is.
As for Yichun - he could of course see that Atachi was planning to load new bullets and then shoot him to death with the cannon.
So from beginning to end, Yichun had been interfering with Atachi's reloading, forcing Atachi to constantly make various big movements to avoid his slashing attacks, thus affecting the loading of the bullets.
After sweeping away the two ogres beside him again, Yichun focused his attention on Ating again.
While focusing his attention back on Atachi, Yichun lowered his body's center of gravity.
“Watch your feet!”
While Yichun was yelling at Atachi in a mocking tone, he swung the large naginata in his hand and performed a "sweeping slash" on Atachi.
Looking at the blade that was heading towards her ankle at an accelerating speed, Atachi's pupils suddenly shrank.
Driven by instinct, Ating kicked off with both feet and jumped into the air.
The blade of the large naginata swept past almost touching the toes of Atachi.
After his feet landed on the ground again, a few beads of cold sweat began to appear on Ating's forehead, and he secretly thanked his good luck.
If she had reacted a little slower, several of her toes might have been chopped off by Yichun.
Omachi dodged his attack again, but Ichijun didn't seem anxious or annoyed. He leisurely put the large naginata on his shoulder again and said to Omachi:
"It seems that your strength is finally running out."
"Your movements are starting to slow down. You can hardly dodge even my ordinary move just now."
"So what?" Ating responded coldly while wiping the sweat from his chin with the back of his left hand.
"It's nothing, it just means you're going to die. Get out of here, you two!"
The first half of Yichun's sentence was addressed to Atachi, and the second half was addressed to the two resurrected cannibals who pounced on him again.
After swinging his sword to sweep away the two ogres once again, Yichun lowered his body's center of gravity again and used the same "Sweeping Slash" on Atachi's ankle.
In fact, Ating himself could clearly feel that his body was getting heavier and his hands and feet were beginning to become less obedient to him.
But now, she can still barely dodge Yichun's "Sweeping the Hall".
She kicked her feet again and jumped into the air, avoiding Yichun's attack aimed at her lower body.
However, after seeing Atachi dodge his attack again, Yichun still did not show any annoyance on his face.
Not only did he not look annoyed, but there was even a hint of...weird excitement on his face.
In a flash, Yichun suddenly threw away the large naginata in his hand.
He kicked off with his hind legs and pounced towards Ating in front of him.
Yichun was huge in size, so his speed was very long. In just two steps, Yichun successfully rushed in front of Ating.
A-Machi, whose feet had just landed on the ground, did not expect Yichun to suddenly drop his sword.
With a look of panic on his face, he tried to escape from Yichun.
It's a pity that this sudden change happened so suddenly that Ating, who was caught off guard, had no time to escape.
Yichun grabbed Ating's fair neck with his big hand, and then "nailed" Ating to the wall of the corridor.
Due to the difference in their body sizes, Atachi, who was "nailed" to the wall by Ichijun's hands, had her feet hanging in the air and could not touch the ground.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
Yichun grabbed her neck, and the strong discomfort in her throat made Ating cough loudly.
"Did you not expect that I would suddenly abandon the knife?"
Yichun didn't seem to be in a hurry to strangle Atachi to death.
His palm was bigger than Ating's face, and he pinched Ating's neck as if he was holding a toy doll.
"This move is also one of my unique skills. I have tricked countless people with this move."
Having said this, Yichun suddenly paused.
Although because of Yichun's strangulation of her neck, A-Machi's face was now flushed due to slight suffocation.
But even so, it can't hide Ating's beautiful face.
Yichun raised his eyebrows, looked at Ating's face carefully for a few times, then grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Now that I've gotten closer and taken a closer look, I realize you're quite pretty."
"Hey, you said you were a kunoichi, right?"
"How about staying with me for a few nights?"
"You kunoichi are the best at this kind of thing, right?"
"If you stay with me for a few nights, I will spare your life and forgive you for injuring my left shoulder."
"It would be a pity if someone as beautiful as you died like this."
As soon as Yichun finished speaking, Ating said without any hesitation:
"I'm so sorry, I don't want to sleep with a man like you."
“Is that so…” Even though he was rejected without hesitation by A-Machi, Yichun did not show any regret at all, “If that’s the case, then go and die.”
After saying that, Yichun slowly increased the strength in his hands.
Ating felt the five fingers pinching her neck slowly tightening, and a strange red color began to spread across her face at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even breathing felt increasingly difficult.
However, even though she could barely breathe, a meaningful smile still appeared on Ating's face.
"Death? You are the one who should die."
After saying that, Atachi suddenly raised the cannon in his hand and pointed the muzzle at Yijun's chest.
At the same time, he hooked his index finger on the trigger...
Looking at the cannon in Ating's hand pointing at his chest, Yichun's pupils suddenly shrank.
Countless thoughts flashed through Yichun's mind at this moment.
Her projectiles are fully loaded? !
When was it loaded?!
When did she load the bullets?!
How could she load the cannon properly while dodging my attacks?!
How did you do that?!
To escape!
Escape!!
…
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, and finally turned into one word: "Run!".
Driven by the desire to survive, Yichun didn't care about elegance or manners.
After quickly releasing A-Ming's neck, Yichun jumped to the side in a very embarrassed manner.
His feet finally landed on the ground, but Ating did not turn the muzzle of the cannon in his hand to chase Yichun.
Instead, he quickly threw the cannon in his hand, pulled out the wakizashi hanging on his lower back, and pounced on Yichun!
Atachi's cannon was not loaded with bullets at all.
Her actions just now were purely to deceive Yichun.
This was the tactic she came up with on the spur of the moment after being "nailed" against the wall by Yichun just now - aiming the cannon, which had not been loaded with bullets, at Yichun, making Yichun mistakenly believe that she had already loaded the bullets, so as to expose Yichun's flaws.
Fortunately, Yichun was caught.
Atachi clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, and aimed the tip of the wakizashi at the chest of Ikjun, who had just escaped from the "shooting threat" of the iron cannon.
Yichun now looked at Ating who was rushing towards him with a knife in astonishment.
A-Machi bet the outcome of the battle on this one strike.
——It must hit!
Looking at Yichun's chest getting closer and closer to her, A-Ming prayed madly in her heart.
laugh!
Ating's palm felt the familiar sensation of a sharp blade entering the flesh.
However – her knife didn’t pierce Yichun’s chest at all.
At the critical moment when Atachi's wakizashi was about to stab her chest, Yichun quickly raised his right arm, used it as a shield, and placed it between Atachi's wakizashi and his chest.
A-machi's wakizashi stabbed into Kazujun's right arm instead of Kazujun's chest.
Seeing that his life-threatening attack had failed, Ating's face turned pale.
After failing to hit the target, Atachi planned to abandon the sword and increase the distance between herself and Yichun - although it was a good idea, Yichun did not give her a chance to leave safely.
The blade pierced his right arm directly - the immense pain caused cold sweat to ooze out of Yichun's face.
Gritting his teeth and resisting the urge to cry out in pain, Yichun swung his right arm violently outward.
Ating, who didn't have time to drop his knife, was thrown away.
Yichun used a lot of force.
He used almost all his strength.
The light-bodied Ating was thrown directly into the air by Yichun, and then he drew a beautiful parabola and fell to the ground.
Ating failed to adjust his posture in time and fell heavily to the ground.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaa——!”
After falling to the ground, a piercing pain suddenly came from my right arm.
The intense pain made Ating couldn't help but let out a shrill cry.
Ating looked at his right arm - his right elbow was strangely red and swollen.
The pain, coupled with the strange redness and swelling at her right elbow, made Ah Ting realize instantly what happened to her right arm - she was unable to adjust her landing posture and her right arm was broken.
In addition to his right arm, Ating also felt pain emanating from his left ankle.
However, the pain was not as severe as in my right arm.
He was probably injured, but not to the extent of breaking his right arm.
As for Yichun on the other side, big beads of sweat slid down his face.
He endured the pain and pulled out the wakizashi that was still on his right arm and threw it aside. Then, with a gloomy face, he picked up his large naginata...
