A foreigner's journey

Kill instantly with one knife.

There was silence, and then the audience burst into applause and cheers. Even though Qiang Baibing was a fallen swordsman infected by Bo Dao's poison, he still had a high status in the hearts of the people. After all, he was legitimately the "strongest in the country".

The two corpses of Oni Subuqi were quickly cleaned up from the martial arts arena by the shogunate staff. A large amount of water was poured on them and more than a dozen people cleaned them together. The martial arts arena quickly returned to normal, but there were still some signs of damage on the surface.

Even though he saw Heather sitting on the altar, with two beautiful black mikos surrounding him carrying fruit plates and wine bottles, they were enjoying the appearance of Susano'o. But if the time between each battle is too long and the god is dissatisfied, no one present thinks that they can withstand the thunderous thunder in the sky.

Soon, the second competition was about to begin, and the two knife-wielders were already standing on both sides of the martial arts arena.

Nishiki still looks soft and frail, holding the kunai-shaped evil knife on her chest with her hands folded. Together with her beautiful, fair and intoxicating appearance, the audience can't help but think "Knife this woman." It is simply a crime without blood and tears] This kind of thinking.

"Qihua, is your sister really as strong as you say?" Rin Qishi's "feminine beauty" even made Jiu'er, who is also a woman, swayed.

Qihua just stared at her sister Qiushi, and answered Jiuer's question somewhat absentmindedly: "Well, I have never defeated my sister even once."

"But Qi Shi's physical condition is too bad. Just relying on the familiar 'Void Sword Style Sword Technique' cannot fight against that metal armor." Jiu'er was rarely angry at Qi Hua's perfunctory tone. After all, it was about his own family. Even a person as indifferent as Shichika would feel anxious and worried about her sister's life-and-death showdown.

"On the contrary..."

Qihua still stared at her sister Nanami, and gradually frowned:

"Sister's body... seems to be different?"

At the same time, standing at the other end of the martial arts arena and facing off against Rong Qishi was a completely different type of guy.

A man who was two meters tall and could be called a 'giant' compared to today's Japanese men was standing there with his arms folded. Let's just say he is a man, because it is completely impossible to tell his gender by his appearance. It's just that he calls himself a man and his voice is rough and wild, which is not as soft as a woman's.

This man's whole body was completely covered in armor. It was not the head armor that had been passed down in Japan since ancient times, but the most powerful type of armor for Western swordsmen. The metal armor that reflects sunlight tightly wraps around the entire body, leaving no trace behind. Not only the movable parts at the joints, but also the connections between the metal parts are perfectly overlapped and covered by other parts.

The burly figure shining with a dull silver brilliance under the sun was like a huge, heavy piece of iron.

The leader of the Satsuma Armor Pirates and the de facto leader of Zuoyin Port, he calls himself the ‘Kyushu Man’ – Hoshino Kurabi!

Under the awning in the corner, Negative Ji slowly shook her fan: "Xiao Cang Bi, I have heard of him, the great pirate who rules Zuiyin Port. I wonder if he will show mercy to a beauty like Rong Qishi?"

"Won't."

Standing next to her, Todaemon Zaemon said:

"Xiao Cang must be a complete pirate who acts as he pleases without any taboos. The evil deeds he committed are enough to get him beheaded ten thousand times. This kind of thing is impossible for him."

"Oh, this is quite an interesting man." Negative Ji chuckled and slowly shook her fan.

Before the referee announced the start, Xiaocang Bi looked at Rong Qishi from a distance and suddenly said:

"Are you the biological sister of the tall man over there? It's not like that. It doesn't look like they are the same species. Speaking of which, such a stupid boy can actually have such a beautiful woman. Should we say that he is stupid and blessed? Hello? , persuade that boy for me to let me have the white-haired woman next to him? In return, I will spare his life in the subsequent battle."

He was talking about Qihua and Jiuer.

"well……"

Rin Qishi sighed softly: "Is this a process that must be followed? There is really no need to talk nonsense before starting a war."

"No, no, I don't want to use this method to sway Xie. [Win the victory justly and win the favor of the gods]. This is my strategy!"

School Cangbi burst out laughing, his voice making a buzzing sound in the dull armored iron can:

"Master Susanoo is the god in charge of storms. If I get the favor of this great god, my pirate group will be unrivaled on the sea! Hahahaha!!"

"..." Rong Qishi turned to look at the referee and asked in a cold voice: "Excuse me, can the game start?"

The referee in black estimated the time and nodded, raised the small flag in his hand high and waved it downwards——

"Kami-mae Swordsmanship Duel! The winner and loser in the second round - [School Cangbi] vs. [鑢Nichimi]!"

"Let's fight openly and honestly to determine the winner!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavily armed Xiaocang Bi rushed towards Rong Qishi with heavy steps, causing the ground to tremble slightly with every step he took. Unlike his appearance, his speed is surprisingly fast!

"Wahahahaha! Nothing can penetrate the absolute defense of this [Thief's Sword and Armor]! Kill Xie first! Then kill Xie's silly little brother and take away the white-haired girl next to him!"

Bang bang bang! The speed of Xiaocangbi is getting faster and faster, and the wild laughter spreads through the metal armor throughout the stadium and the audience:

"That fragile little girl is not even qualified to be a maid in our pirate group. She will be broken just playing around! She has been well protected from the malice of the world, and such a girl actually dares to act openly. By participating in a grand gathering of men, I will make Xie's death extremely painful!"

Clang! I saw that the armor all over Xiaocang Bi's body was flashing with cold light, and every part of the armor shell was a shining sharp blade! The school warehouse, which is completely covered with a jungle of sharp blades, must now be a sharp fortress moving at high speed.

The gravel and strong wind became more and more agitated as Xiaocang Bi ran wildly, and actually formed an almost substantial impact wind pressure.

"[The Thief's Sword's Limited Secret: The Sword's Skull]!"

Caught in the wind pressure, the school barn will roar towards Qishi, getting closer and closer. Some viewers who were charmed by Rong Qishi's beauty even screamed, unable to bear to see such a weak and beautiful girl being brutally torn apart.

"Weeds grow uncontrollably and arrogantly, and they will eventually be pulled out."

The corners of Rin Qishi's mouth slowly raised, forming an extremely evil smile. He held the kunai-shaped evil knife in his hand and pointed it at the school Cangbi from a distance.

Jiu'er exclaimed: "No! [Thief Sword·Armor] has absolute defense. As long as he is still in contact with the earth, the impact force he receives can be transmitted to the earth to the maximum extent. Qishi's attack is It’s impossible to break through the armor of a thief’s sword!”

Qihua was ready to rush forward at any time, but she still forced herself to endure it out of trust in her sister: "My sister must have thought of it, but she is still very confident... Is it because of that [evil knife]?"

The school warehouse must be getting closer and closer to Qishi, getting closer and closer. The wind pressure caused Nanami's kimono to dance, and just when the sharp blade on the armor was about to touch her fair and delicate skin,

Rin Qishi moved.

Her whole body turned into a gentle wind, no, more like paper swaying when the wind blows. She was weak and boneless, and narrowly missed all the sharp edges that attacked her.

[Six Styles·Paper Painting].

At the moment of avoiding it, the evil knife in Qishi's hand drew a stream of sparks on the metal armor on the surface of Xiao Cangbi's body.

boom--! ! The edge of the field was hit by the school warehouse that was too late to stop its momentum, and a large gap was created, filling the air with smoke and dust.

"Hahaha! That little kunai can't even leave a single scratch on my armor! I said, this is absolute defense!"

What Xiao Cang must have said is right, the evil knife in Qishi's hand did not leave even the slightest trace on the surface of the knife. The surface of the thief's knife is still shining, without any scratches.

"Yeah?"

Rin Qishi stood a little further away, covering his mouth and nose with his left sleeve, and with his right hand tucked into his sleeve, he gently fanned the dust in front of him. After slapping him for a few times and seeing no effect, Yan Qishi turned to look at the referee: "It's time to announce the result. Remember to clean the venue, I hate dust."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the field.

"Asshole! Huh...huh...huh?"

Xiaocang Bi was furious and just about to attack Rong Qishi from behind, he took two steps but stopped hesitantly. He raised his hands in front of his eyes in confusion, and saw metal bubbles protruding one after another on the surface of the thief's knife, as if the armor all over his body came to life.

Suddenly, Xiaocang Bi's whole body froze, and countless intertwined and dense dull puncture sounds came from inside the thief's sword armor.

Tick-tock, tick-tock... Countless blood seeped out from the tiny gaps in the armor.

With a bang, Xiao Cangbi fell heavily onto the martial arts stage, causing large cracks. His body twitched slightly from time to time, and there were still intensive puncture sounds coming from inside the armor, and the blood gradually dyed the ground beneath him red.

"Aren't you going to announce the verdict?"

Rong Qi, who had already reached the edge of the field, looked at the referee with his big, cold eyes and tilted his head slightly.

"Ah...yes! Yes!"

The referee trotted to School Cang Bi and squatted down to check. He was horrified to find that the armor actually had the 'activity' that only living things can have. This living metal armor was excitedly 'gnawing' at School Cang Bi. Through the gap, You can vaguely see the body that has turned into meat paste inside.

The referee shivered and returned to the outside of the field, waving the small flag in his hand vigorously——

A swordsmanship showdown in front of the gods, the winner and the loser. winner——

Yin Qishi!

[Mythical Weapons Catalog], new weapons are registered, the category is [Knife].

[Evil Knife] - Inserting an evil knife into a living body can forcefully activate the body (burning life to gain powerful strength) or calm the body (to extend life). If it is covered with a concept, it will be temporarily promoted to the [Divine Evil Sword], which can consume thought energy to temporarily activate the inanimate objects it touches. The maximum number of inanimate objects that can be activated depends on its size and quality. The activated inanimate body will be absolutely obedient to the holder of the [Godly Evil Sword]. You can also insert the [Evil Sword of God] into a corpse with a preservation degree of more than 80% to activate it, thereby achieving temporary 'resurrection of the dead'. Additionally, this knife seems to have many more uses.

PS: Regarding the plot of Elden’s Circle, I’ve pretty much checked it out in the past few days. But the old thief is really good at hiding. Not to mention the branch plot, the most critical one, 'Mikayla', is directly hidden from the plot. The general plot direction and ideas for Heather's time traveling to this world are already in place. Should I wait for the old thief to release DLC and complete Michaela's plot before writing it?
