Chapter 109 Water Ghost
“…Is that so…”
Busei's pupils trembled slightly as he stared in amazement at the wolf swinging the wedge pill to launch a crescent-shaped slash.
Tianyin even covered her mouth, stared at Wolf who sheathed his sword with wide eyes, and asked Busei who was standing beside her.
"Why can Mr. Hirata use the breathing method of Upper Rank One?"
In response to Tianyin's questions, Busei, whose brain was no longer working, made a series of strange noises.
"Uh... hey... ah?!"
After a moment, he came to his senses and responded to Tianyin with a trembling voice.
"How do I know!"
Then he carefully recalled the wolf's previous blow, comparing it with Kokushibo's slash in his memory, and finally he found something wrong after racking his brains.
"No, the crescent has become smaller..."
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Busei murmured something subconsciously. The wolf not far from him naturally heard the murmur and explained expressionlessly.
"Well... after all, the physical strength of ghosts is different from that of humans... but it may also be because I only saw it once..."
"..."
Busui could understand the first half of this sentence, but the second half almost made his brain crash again.
However, Wolf felt that his words were quite normal. The Moon Breathing Sword Form that he imitated seemed quite crude to him, and was far inferior to the moves he had learned after countless life-and-death battles with rare strong men when he was in Ashina.
Therefore, even though he had learned the breathing method of Busei and others, he did not show it. In battle, using unfamiliar moves would only make him die faster.
The reason why it is revealed now is simply because we are afraid of losing morale among the people, and also because of our own interest.
Regardless of Busei's dazed look, he took a pen and paper from the cart beside him and quickly wrote down his entire understanding of the Moon Breathing Sword Type he had seen, vividly describing it with words and pictures.
In less than ten minutes, the wolf stopped writing, threaded the paper with a thin string, and rolled it into a long and neat scroll.
Looking at the blank paper envelope, the wolf paused when he was about to put down the pen, hesitated for a moment, and then wrote on it.
[Cheats? Breath of the Moon]
Then he handed it to Tianyin who had been watching quietly beside him.
"…If Yuichiro is really not suitable for Breath of Wind…let him try this."
He took the scroll solemnly, but his heart was not as calm as he appeared to be.
When Wolf was drawing the scroll just now, she was watching the whole process. The content of the secret book was very detailed, with both pictures and texts. It didn't look like an impromptu work at all.
But after a few days of getting along, Tianyin also realized that Lang was definitely not a arrogant person who lied.
Then... the truth of the matter is obvious...
After coming back to their senses, Busui and Amane looked at the wolf who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, with complicated expressions.
It turns out... the real genius is right beside us... Fortunately, he is undoubtedly our partner.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt relieved of the complicated feelings in their hearts. Tianyin smiled helplessly and took out some dry food from the car and distributed it to Wolf and the three children who were arguing on the other side of the camp, while Fuzukawa carefully flipped through the scroll drawn by Wolf.
Time passed quickly, and not long after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the wolf slowly stood up, headed towards the direction he had explored before, and spoke calmly to everyone.
"lets go……"
Everyone quickly picked up the debris on the ground and put it on the cart. Seeing that his brother was in a low mood, Muichiro took over the job of pulling the carriage, while Youichiro just looked at him for a moment without saying much.
The team quickly set off, following the lakeshore, and everyone had to go around to the other side of the lake, from there leaving the mountain, and soon after that they would reach the hidden place of the priest family's ancestral home.
Now we can only hope that there is a way to restore Minako hidden in the ancestral home of the priest family.
Walking in front blankly, Busei still felt surprised, especially when he asked the wolf whether he had learned the Breathing of Wind.
Without answering, the wolf simply wrapped his arms around the whirlwind, and Busei understood everything.
The lake is very large, and it takes some time to walk around the lakeshore to the other side to find the exit. But during this time, the sky gradually became overcast.
Large patches of dark clouds gathered above everyone's heads. Without the warmth of the sun, the lakeshore became particularly cold in autumn and winter.
They walked for a while in the cold, but after they had walked most of the way, they stopped to drink some stored water and take a breath.
Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky to the ground, wetting the soil and creating ripples on the surface of the lake.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Just as Busei was frowning and was about to turn around and tell everyone to take shelter from the rain first, a water arrow shot out from the lake and headed straight for Tianyin, the weakest among the crowd!
The sudden change startled everyone, but fortunately, Busei was in front of Tianyin at this moment. He drew out his sword in an instant, and successfully blocked the water arrow by placing the sword horizontally in the path of the arrow.
But then several water arrows shot out from the lake, hiding in the falling rain and killing the three children. At this moment, Busei, who had just blocked an attack, had no time to turn around.
Faced with the overwhelming water arrows, although Inosuke had an amazing sense of touch and noticed the moment they were shot towards him, his body could not keep up with the speed of his brain. The Tokito brothers just saw it at this moment, and just when they widened their eyes, thinking that they were going to die.
A red figure rushed over and stood in front of the three people. He swung his left hand, sparks flashed, and then he waved his left arm, and the iron pieces that were originally fan-shaped were spliced together.
A huge iron umbrella was formed to block the three people.
Ding! Ding! … Ding!
The sound of water arrows hitting the iron umbrella was endless, but Wolf held the iron umbrella and stood in front of the three frozen people without retreating a single step until the vibration of the umbrella subsided.
Click.
The huge umbrella was retracted into the wolf's prosthetic hand with the sound of the mechanism turning. A few water arrows that were deliberately not blocked shot through the wolf's hair and hit the ground, raising dust and leaving a deep hole.
The wolf glanced sideways calmly, and through the depth of the small pit, he determined the power of the attack. He looked straight at the lake, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he wanted to see through the dark lake surface.
"There's a ghost in the water! Tsk, trouble!"
With an unhappy click of the tongue, Busei was just thinking about how to lure it out of the lake and deal with it, but the wolf's voice sounded first.
"If there is any danger on land... I'll leave it to you..."
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
Hearing the wolf's voice, Busei was about to ask, but the wolf had already started to act!
As he approached the lake, he took out a piece of Divine Flying Snow from his arms and sprinkled it on his head. The purple-pink divine paper fell around him like cherry blossoms, and the blade of Ushimaru ignited with flames.
But how could the evil ghost do as the wolf wished? The surface of the lake exploded again, and countless water arrows shot towards the wolf!
I thought the wolf would use the strange iron umbrella to resist again, but there was no need to protect Wuichiro and the others. The wolf just waved the knife in his hand and blocked most of the water arrows, turning them into water splashes falling to the ground.
Then he rushed forward, taking a step to leave the remaining water arrows behind him. The water arrows slammed into the ground, making potholes in the earth. The wolf took this opportunity to assume a humming posture, and two white rays of light flew out from his heart.
The red words [A Gong] appeared behind the wolf, and then his figure suddenly jumped up again and rushed straight into the lake!
