A Major Crisis at the Si Clan Pharmaceutical Company
Looking up, the Scribe's appearance was obscured by shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.
The only thing he could see clearly was a pair of eyes as cold as a winter lake.
"Ayu, where are you?"
"I have no idea."
Knowing he was doomed, the captain of the guards became much tougher.
"Scribe, no wonder you were able to kill so many. It turns out you and we are not the same species at all!"
"After the Red-light District Incident, I heard that there was a man-eating monster in the world called a ghost."
"You bastard, you're a demon disguised in human society!"
The answer to the guard captain was the sound of Nichirin Blade cutting through the wind.
With a soft thud, his left leg was severed.
In front of the head guard, the Scribe used a standard-issue knife to chop him into mincemeat.
His face was deathly pale, but the head guard still did not reveal Ayu's whereabouts.
"Don't even think about it. After issuing this order, Crown Prince Ayu left my home and went to a place no one knows!"
With a mocking smile, the head guard widened his eyes, as if he wanted to say something more.
Suddenly his eyes rolled back, and his whole body began to tremble violently.
By the time his body gradually calmed down, the guard captain's voice had changed.
"Scribe, I never thought you'd end up like this."
"Dichai!"
The moment he heard the voice, the Scribe recognized the person's identity.
"It's me, it's been so long!"
Dichai grinned, as if chatting with an old friend he hadn't seen for days.
"You don't seem to realize what you've overlooked?"
"Don't forget, this land was originally bought by Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals, but Ayu's people can stay here for a long time."
"So much time has passed, haven't you gone back to visit?"
Upon hearing this, the Scribe's pupils contracted, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.
"Yes, that's the expression, that's it!"
The expression on her face became increasingly ferocious, Dichai burst into loud laughter, her voice reaching the heavens.
"Ayu and the Shinri Family joined forces, one responsible for blocking the news and the other for taking action against Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals."
"Our era is about to begin."
"Scribe, in the grand sweep of history, you are but a speck of dust..."
Before he could finish speaking, "Dichai's" head flew off.
Ignoring the state of the head, the Scribe simply looked up and gazed into the distance.
That's the direction of Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals.
"Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals, Tamayo, a great company."
Muttering something to himself, the Scribe then took a step forward.
"It's right here! Come quick, there are corpses here too!"
Just then, a roar came from not far away, and several figures carrying oil lamps appeared.
"Where are the guard captain and the others? Why aren't they here?"
Looking at the Scribe who had his back to him, a man frowned and said.
"Why are you the only one here? Are all the others dead?!"
Who are you?
"Are you out of your mind? I'm the one delivering samples. These people behind me are desperados that Crown Prince Ayu hired on our behalf."
Taking a few steps forward, the man seemed to want to teach the Scribe a lesson.
"There were so many corpses on the way here, what happened?!"
"Didn't they say they were going to cause trouble for Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals? How come they're all dead?"
Looking up slightly, the Scribe saw several points of light in the distance.
Nearly a hundred figures moved about, steadily approaching the area.
"Know."
"Really? Who did that? Are there any survivors?"
"It's me."
Before the man's bewildered gaze, a scarlet eye appeared in front of him.
Immediately following was the whooshing sound of wind breaking through the air.
Chapter 541 The Great Crisis of Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals
The battle ended quickly.
No, this doesn't even qualify as a battle.
This was just a one-sided massacre.
Whether they were armored warriors or fierce-looking desperados, none of them could withstand a single move from the Scribe.
Many more people were shattered simply from touching the Blade Wind.
Countless mangled corpses lay scattered on the ground, and the flowing blood merged into a stream that seeped into the earth.
The night breeze blew gently, and the smell of blood in the air faded a little.
"Phew~"
Standing in the center of the corpse, the Scribe slowly exhaled.
Looking up at the moon at night, his eyes were expressionless, as if he were deep in thought.
After a long while, he lowered his head and ran in a certain direction.
When he killed Ayu's men and those desperados, he interrogated some of them and obtained some information.
This group was not the first to attack Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals; the first group consisted entirely of members from the Shinri Family.
Based on the timeline, it's about time for the plan to begin.
The Scribe could no longer stay here; he had to go back and protect his family!
Anyone who harms his family, even the Emperor, will have their head chopped off!
Shortly after the Scribe left, a figure suddenly appeared here.
Under the moonlight, the six eyes on his face were so conspicuous.
"Is this the place Muzan mentioned?"
Muttering something under his breath, Kokushibo then saw a large number of corpses not far away.
"They're all dead?"
He didn't care about the lives of humans; all he cared about was the Blue Spider Lily.
"Each corpse was killed with a single blow; I doubt anyone else could have done that except him."
After a quick glance, Kokushibo realized the strength of the person who had made the move.
At that moment, he suddenly stopped.
He sensed it; it was an incredibly familiar aura.
That was Breathing Technique created and perfected by him, and then passed on to the next person by him.
Moon Breathing: Kokushibo sensed the aura of the Moon Breathing having been used!
"It really is that kid."
A flicker of emotion flashed in the six crimson eyes, and a slight smile appeared on Kokushibo's face.
When he learned that the Scribe was using the Moon Breathing in the Swordsmith Village, he still found it hard to believe.
Only now, after experiencing all of this firsthand, has he truly confirmed his suspicions.
The Scribe is not only a user of the Sun Breathing, but also the inheritor of the Moon Breathing!
At this moment, he had no idea how long he had been waiting.
"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!"
He burst into laughter; Kokushibo hadn't felt this happy in ages.
Perhaps he has lost the chance to compete with Yoriichi on the same stage, but that does not mean that Moon Breathing has failed.
As long as Scribe is alive, his Breathing Technique, Kokushibo, no, Tsugikuni Michikatsu, will still have a chance to reach its peak!
The laughter echoed through the sky, only gradually subsiding after a long time.
Composing himself, Kokushibo knew he couldn't delay any longer.
Where are the Blue Spider Lily?
After walking a few more steps, his gaze fell on a broken bottle.
Amidst the shattered bottle, a faint blue light shone exceptionally brightly.
Bending down to pick it up, Kokushibo discovered that it was a withered blue petal.
"This is the Blue Spider Lily? How did it turn out like this?"
After Ayu's men delivered the samples to the designated location, Kokushibo arrived immediately.
The interval between them was only a few hours.
However, judging from the appearance of the petals, they seemed to have been there for months, completely losing their moisture and having no value whatsoever.
With a slight frown, Kokushibo tossed aside the flower petal in his hand and began searching again.
No matter how hard he searched, the Blue Spider Lily he found were just like that petal.
"Could it be that apart from that sample, everything else is useless?!"
With a cold snort, Kokushibo kicked a withered Blue Spider Lily.
In an instant, countless petals fluttered up and swayed in the air, like a grand dance.
A standing tombstone then came into Kokushibo's view.
"Why is there a tombstone here?"
He glanced at the tombstone instinctively, and upon seeing the words on it, Kokushibo's pupils instantly contracted.
"The Tomb of Tsugikuni Yoriichi"
His body swayed slightly, and for the first time, astonishment appeared on Kokushibo's face.
He took a few steps forward and touched the four characters with his hand, as if to confirm that he had not misread them.
His head was slightly lowered, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.
The petals of the Blue Spider Lily slowly drifted down, landing on the tombstone and on Kokushibo's body.
"Yoriichi ..."
Meanwhile, at Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals, Tamayo Masashi convened a small meeting with Yushiro and others.
Since the Scribe left, they have held similar meetings every few days to exchange information and discuss what to do next.
"No one has been causing trouble lately, has anyone?"
"No, Miss Tamayo."
