Chapter 770: Chapter 617: The Child_2 Chapter 770: Chapter 617: The Child_2 The light within the cave flickered on and off, and only when it brightened did they realize that those exchanging words beside the blood-red cocoon were not the bodies of the Ran’ei Divine Master and others.
Instead, they were Tengu of various forms.
They had differentiated from the Blood Vessels distributed around them.
Each of them was a part of the Tengu Divine Master, sharing mories, emotions, and power.
“Hurry up, I can’t wait to shred that traitor.”
“He is not the focus, he never has been.”
“If he’s not, then who is?”
“Could it be that Roger?”
“Roger? Who’s Roger?”
“Oh… it’s that guy who’s always causing trouble for Ran’ei.”
“Get out of my head,” Ran’ei Divine Master snorted coldly.
“What do you an ‘your head’?”
“Our emotions and mories are connected, I’ve said before what’s yours is mine, and mine is naturally yours.”
“Haha, I just found out, it turns out you suffered such a big loss, getting stepped on by that guy.”
“Wrong, if he hurt you it ans he hurt , he is our common enemy!”
“Shut up,” Ran’ei Divine Master said impatiently.
“I said I’ll deal with it myself.”
“I will find him and kill him before we completely fuse.”
Having said this, his body withdrew back into the Blood Vessel, vanishing in the cave.
Boom boom boom!
The cocoon contracted, and inside erged a blurry figure, one that seed human in outline yet had horns on its head and wings.
…
Qinglu Mountain.
Returning here once again, Roger felt a sensation of things and people being different from the past.
The scenery remained the sa; even without the lively Girls’ Festival, one could still see the bustling crowds on the streets.
Roger originally planned to secretly help Yuan Guanghai inquire about Red Sparrow’s recent situation, but not long after he entered the city, soone took the initiative to find him.
“What are you doing here?” Miyanori Chiyoko’s gaze at Roger was full of scrutiny.
“What’s the matter, is it that Funiu Sword Pavilion’s territory does not allow others to enter?” Roger retorted.
“Others may, but you are the exception!” Miyanori Chiyoko snorted coldly.
Roger frowned.
Last ti he had controlled the Elder of Shadows to cause a massacre in Funiu Sword Pavilion’s territory, though Miyanori Chiyoko had not caught him red-handed.
But with her intelligence, she had likely pinpointed him, just unable to find evidence back then. Plus, due to Hankawa’s influence, she had no choice but to let him leave.
However, even so, Roger always felt that Miyanori Chiyoko’s reaction was sowhat overreactive; moreover, the speed at which she sought him out was unbelievably fast.
Roger smiled, “If I say I was just passing by…”
“I’ve said this place doesn’t welco you!” Miyanori Chiyoko interrupted Roger rudely.
The smile on Roger’s face disappeared.
“This is considered Funiu Sword Pavilion’s place, out of respect, I can accept so of your requests, but at least give a reason that’s not so perfunctory.”
“Also…” Roger’s expression turned cold.
“I do not belong to Funiu Sword Pavilion, and I really don’t need to tolerate your attitude.”
“Tolerate?”
Miyanori Chiyoko raised an eyebrow.
“My power is stronger than yours, in Everworld this is the ultimate rule, so it’s not tolerance, it’s obedience.”
“The weak obey the strong.”
Miyanori Chiyoko surveyed Roger.
“I once gave you advice, young man. What allows you to stand here and talk to as equals is Sword Master Cold Crow, not you.”
“The level at which you can discuss matters with as an equal, you are still far from it.”
Roger looked at Miyanori Chiyoko with a mockingly polite smile.
“I don’t think so.”
“Arrogant.”
“You’ve learned Sword Master Cold Crow’s disdain without his abilities!”
“Get out of here!”
As Miyanori Chiyoko spoke, she reached out to grab Roger.
The two were currently on the outskirts of the city at the foot of Qinglu Mountain. Although there weren’t as many pedestrians as in the downtown area, it was still much more prosperous than the towns below Hankawa.
Roger really hadn’t expected Miyanori Chiyoko to choose to make her move here.
However, he quickly realized there was an issue, a matter of perspective.
It had been over two months since his last visit to the Funiu Sword Pavilion, a duration considered short even by the standards of Sunrise Cultivators.
Miyanori Chiyoko’s opinion of Roger was probably still based on their last encounter.
At that ti, Roger had just entered the middle phase of the Fourth Tier.
She hadn’t anticipated that in just over two months, Roger’s strength would skyrocket, entering the late phase of the Fourth Tier.
And coming infinitely close to that special level.
With Nekomata consolidating Nine Tails, Roger was confident in calling himself the strongest Fourth Tier below the rank of Sword Master.
The Funiu Sword Pavilion had considerable combined strength, but aside from Sword Master Funiu, the others couldn’t strictly be considered on par with a Sword Master. Now, Roger had the grounds and strength to claim equality.
It was precisely because of this overpowering strength that Miyanori Chiyoko had chosen to strike here.
After all, compared to others, Roger was only slightly stronger, so the location of the confrontation beca less important.
But in the next mont, Miyanori Chiyoko found her casual grab co up empty.
Roger’s figure flickered, breaking the air beneath his feet, as he instantly appeared a dozen ters away.
“Co back!”
With her expression turning serious, Miyanori Chiyoko made another move, but the outco remained unchanged.
“I think you should calm down now.”
Although it wasn’t a direct fight, the simple act of dodging twice was enough for Miyanori Chiyoko to discern sothing.
What Roger hadn’t expected was that after two consecutive failed attempts, anger surged onto Miyanori Chiyoko’s face. She turned around swiftly, and the next mont, a large sword appeared in her hands.
“What are you so pleased about? Do you really think you’re worthy enough to converse with as an equal?”
Miyanori Chiyoko’s temper was fiery. Indeed, students tend to resemble their teachers, and Red Sparrow was much the sa in this regard.
A woman like Miyanori Chiyoko, when emotional, wouldn’t consider the consequences. Roger didn’t want any unnecessary conflict, but at this ti, it was unlikely she would cool down and communicate with him.
Once such a woman had made up her mind about sothing, she would follow through to the bitter end, even if it ant suffering bruises and bloodshed, she would stand up and stubbornly press on.
In her mind, Roger was a weakling, and the weak were ant to obey.
To resist was to invite punishnt.
Unless Roger did nothing and allowed himself to be at the rcy of Miyanori Chiyoko.
But clearly…
As Miyanori Chiyoko drew her sword, the Sword of Destiny appeared in Roger’s hand, he descended rapidly, raising his sword to strike.
An ordinary looking sword strike, but at the very instant he moved, Roger located the strongest part of Miyanori Chiyoko’s defense.
He chose not to avoid, but to et force with force!
The power erupted from within him, and for a mont, Miyanori Chiyoko’s face changed dramatically.
She could sense that it was the energy of a late-phase Fourth Tier, on the verge of reaching its limit, combined with Roger’s swordsmanship.
Their last battle at the mountain top had left a deep impression of Roger’s swordsmanship on Miyanori Chiyoko, to the extent that even Sword Master Funiu believed that Hankawa would see the rise of a second Sword Master Cold Crow.
At the ti, they believed this would happen in ten or twenty years.
What Miyanori Chiyoko had not anticipated…
Was that just two months later, their predictions were about to co true.
Miyanori Chiyoko had been far too careless. Even though she had placed considerable importance on Roger, she had never imagined that in just two months, his strength would increase so significantly.
Her slight disdain affected her own strength, but Roger didn’t think about it too much. The Alder Sword Seal instantly enveloped the entire space.
Imdiately after, intense power flooded the area.
In the build-up and collision, the power intensified, then erupted precisely where Miyanori Chiyoko’s defense was strongest!
The Funiu Sword Pavilion was renowned for its defense, and naturally, Roger’s attack wasn’t enough to break through their defense at a single stroke. But Miyanori Chiyoko, unprepared, had suffered greatly.
She tried to move back but then realized her surroundings, and what was more terrifying was that the Alder Sword Seal had locked the space around her.
Even if she wanted to retreat, there was nowhere to go.
The trendous force ca crashing down, and at the sa ti, other parts of her body were under attack.
Her knees buckled, and although Miyanori Chiyoko managed to block Roger’s attack, she was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and now fell forward ungracefully.
Just then, a voice suddenly ca.
“Miyanori was impulsive.”
Recognizing the voice of Sword Master Funiu, Roger took the opportunity to withdraw, imdiately lifting the pressure off Miyanori Chiyoko.
But what he hadn’t expected was that Miyanori Chiyoko, still struggling against the force exerted by Roger, lost her balance instantly as he withdrew his power.
Thud!
A dull impact sounded.
Miyanori Chiyoko lay on the ground in a rather seductive pose.
Looking down at the woman lying at his feet, Roger blinked.
“This pose could easily give people the wrong idea about .”
