Chapter 39 Sea of Fire
Through the air distorted by the high temperature, everyone saw the figure of Wolf in the sea of fire. He raised his right leg, held up the wedge pill, and stepped towards the place where the Busei River was before! Cut it down!
boom!
The earth shattered under these words, and sand flew into the air and was melted by the scorching Shura fire. However, before the blow landed, Busei escaped from the spot with the help of Xingming.
The attack missed, but the wolf had more than one move!
He twisted his waist to gather strength, and the red flame attached to the wedge pill at this moment. Then it was released like a fully drawn bowstring. The sharp blade of the wedge pill rolled up a raging sea of fire and killed the two pillars of Fengyan!
Shura-Ashina Ichimonji? Two in a row!
boom!
"Hide behind me..."
Facing the raging sea of fire, Xing Ming stepped forward and spoke calmly to Busikawa and the Butterfly sisters.
Then he bulged the muscles in his arms and swung the chains to drive the meteor hammer around his body, spinning it violently, creating hurricane-force winds that blew up the corners of his clothes and shook the sea of fire.
Breathing of rock? Form three? Skin of rock!
clang!
The dancing meteor hammer blocked the wolf's slashing sword, but it could not stop the sea of red fire brought by the sword!
laugh!
The scorching flames penetrated the airtight hammer shadows and bombarded Xingming's body. His hair became dry and twisted in an instant, and his skin became charred under the high temperature!
Ke Xingming did not show any sign of pain and remained calm. A line of tears appeared in the corner of his eyes, but in an instant, flames began to rise.
"Amitabha..."
His tall body protected everyone behind him, without being stained by a single spark.
"Mr. Xingming..."
The Butterfly Sisters looked at Xingming's tall back with worry and sadness, while Busei Kawa widened his bloodshot eyes, staring straight at the wolf with flames wrapped all over its body, and whispered through gritted teeth.
"You bastard! Without a knife, I will smash your bones and knock you down!"
After a while, the sea of fire finally dissipated, leaving only pieces of embers and flickering sparks on the ground. At this moment, Xing Ming, who was burned badly by the high temperature, moved his body slightly and clasped his hands together!
Snapped!
Tears streamed down his somewhat charred cheeks.
"Poor man... I feel your sorrow from this flame, let us save you..."
"Amitabha..."
"Lord Yanzhu!"
Without waiting for Shinobu Kocho to stop him and apply burn medicine on him, Xing Ming's huge body had already leaped up with the meteor hammer and the broad axe. It was hard to imagine that a person who was so seriously injured could still do such a move.
He leaped into the air, his arm muscles bulging and veins covered, swung the chain, and smashed the broad axe at the wolf like a meteorite.
clang!
With a flash of sparks, the Broad Axe was knocked away by Wolf's Wedge Ball, but Xing Ming's attack had not stopped yet!
In mid-air, Xingming retracted his arm and pulled the chain, carrying the broad axe high into the air. At the same time, his other arm swung the chain and smashed the meteor hammer at the wolf's head while looking downwards.
"The River of Immortality."
"Here it comes! Die, you bastard!"
There was no need for Xingming to remind him specifically, as his combat instinct as a Pillar had already made Busei know how to act.
He tensed his leg muscles and took a step forward. In the blink of an eye, a white figure appeared in front of the wolf and punched it in the chest!
Of course the wolf would not just stand there and take a beating, he raised his sword to chop off Busei's hands, but the red [Danger] sign above his head flashed again, and the meteor hammer had already hit the wolf.
Without time to dodge, Wolf's sword that was slashing towards Busei was forcibly twisted above his head!
clang!
The attack with [Danger] could not be blocked, so the wolf could only try his best to throw the meteor hammer away from his side and hit the ground, splashing a large amount of dust.
Before the wolf could rest, a bony fist pierced through the dust and hit the wolf's chest!
"Haha!"
With a roar, the wolf's body flew backwards after being hit by a punch. It rolled on the ground, then stood up using the force and looked at Busei who was looking at him proudly.
Noticing the look in the wolf's eyes, Busei hissed with a hideous grin.
"My next punch will break all your teeth!"
Behind him, when Beimingyu Xingming was about to continue his attack with the broad axe and chain in his hand, a figure wearing a butterfly scale wing feather robe stood beside him.
It was Butterfly Kanae with a sad face who looked at the wolf not far away who had become a stranger for some reason, and then spoke as if she was talking to Xing Mingti or to herself.
"When Mr. Sekiro faced me and Shinobu before, he briefly regained his sanity, so... I want to try again!"
Xing Ming, who was beside him, hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and finally put down the broad axe in his hand and twirled the Buddhist beads hanging around his neck.
"Really? I see..."
Seeing Xingming put down his weapon, Kanae breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes gradually became firm as she walked towards the wolf. After taking a few steps, she seemed to think of something and turned her head to look at Shinobu Kocho who was following her behind her.
"Shinobu...don't go."
She paused and lowered her head when she heard Kanae's words, so that no expression could be seen.
"My sister is always like this...Whenever something dangerous happens, she leaves me behind to face it alone..."
"Shinobu..."
Kanae's eyes were a little complicated. She didn't want her sister to be in danger. She didn't have a strong body nor superb talents, and she couldn't even cut off a ghost's neck.
The next moment, Shinobu Kocho raised her head, her big purple eyes filled with tears.
"I would be very worried about my sister! If the wolf hadn't been there this time, my sister might have already..."
Having said this, she bit her lip, tears dripping from her eyes. She looked at Kanae with a proud look and refused to back down.
"I won't listen to my sister this time!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shinobu Kocho saw Kanae walking towards her with her head down and silently.
She closed her eyes and held her head high. Even if her sister wanted to teach her a lesson this time, she would face the danger together with her sister!
She didn't want her heart to... continue to hurt.
The footsteps stopped in front of her, and the expected scolding did not come. Instead, there was only a warm embrace waiting for her.
I opened my eyes and saw my sister's smiling face with red eyes, and said with a choked voice.
"I'm sorry, Shinobu. I didn't take your thoughts into consideration and made you worry."
As he spoke, he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Shinobu's eyes with his fingertips, and turned around with her to face the wolf that was fighting with Busei.
It was more of a one-sided fight between the wolf's violent output and Busei's frantic dodging than a fight. Fortunately, Busei was agile enough that he was not killed by the wolf.
But there were still many wounds on his body, and the Shura Fire attached to them was burning his vitality bit by bit.
"Damn it..."
He felt extremely aggrieved. When had Fushigawa Shimoya ever felt so aggrieved before? Just when he was about to punch the wolf in the face even if he got hurt, a hurried voice came from behind him.
"Buzukawa! Stop first. Shinobu and I will fight the wolf. This may have a better chance of awakening his sanity."
Looking at the two people with determined expressions, he could tell that they were serious. He then looked at Beiming Yu Xingming who was standing silently behind them.
Do you agree...
Then he asked Kanae carefully.
"Just the two of you, can you do it? If not, I'll help you!"
"cut."
Without waiting for Fushigawa Minoru to finish his words, Shinobu made a disdainful sound. Among the nine pillars, the one she hated the most was the new Wind Pillar who had a fierce appearance and a bad temper.
Because this guy often comes to the Butterfly House to harass her sister, and now he even looks down on her and her sister!
