Life Return?

Outside the Barutus Town.

Snowflakes were falling heavily, and as far as the eye could see, there were only empty, desolate hills and snowfields. Three figures walked silently in the wind and snow, one in front and two behind, until the man in front stopped.

"How about we meet here, ladies?"

Tengen Uzui turned around with a bright smile, seemingly unaware of the tense atmosphere around him.

"Fine."

"You have two choices now: either surrender or be crippled and taken away. If you're unlucky, you might just die here."

One of them, a beautiful woman with a slender figure, a large bust, and short white hair, touched the peculiar gauntlet on her right hand and warned with a cold look in her eyes.

The girl next to her had short purple hair, but her appearance was that of a child with a large penis, which was quite incongruous with her innocent girlish appearance.

However, her slender figure revealed the beautiful fact that she was not young at all.

"I thought it would be those people monitoring me who would make a move, but it turns out to be you two 'glamorous' beauties. At least my time wasn't wasted!"

Unconcerned about the other party's unfriendly attitude, Tengen Uzui openly rubbed his chin, admiring the two people's beautiful features without giving off a lewd feeling.

"But may I ask your names first?"

"By the way, my name is Tengen Uzui. I already have three wives, and a little devil is about to be born~"

He actually revealed the number of his wives directly, and his tone was very natural, even carrying a hint of happiness. However, these words did not sound good to Modai and Chikushi.

The former's already cold gaze became even more dangerous, while the latter glared angrily at Tengen Uzui.

Although most nobles in this world have many wives and concubines, many commoners still adhere to the rule of monogamy.

Coincidentally, both of them came from humble backgrounds.

Modai already has a beloved lover, so Tengen Uzui's words are like a scumbag showing off the number of women he has.

"You don't deserve to know. If you've finished speaking, then I'll take that as your choice to refuse to surrender."

As she spoke, Modai slowly walked towards Tengen Uzui.

Her main concern was capturing him alive, and she also sensed that the latter's aura was not weak, so she acted cautiously and kept a close eye on his muscle condition.

Chikushi remained where she was, holding a uniquely shaped pistol, ready to fire.

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, Tengen Uzui raised his hand and shouted, which made Modai stop in her tracks. She then softened her tone and looked at them helplessly.

"No, why are you arresting me? I don't think I've done anything wrong. And who are you, and what right do you have to arrest me?"

"If you want to fight, at least give me a reason!"

His main concern was how he had been exposed. Was it because he was too handsome?

Modai and Chikushi were taken aback by these words. After thinking about it, they realized that it made sense. However, the former quickly recovered and said in a cold voice.

"You infiltrated the Empire's territory without authorization through some kind of portal with spatial capabilities. Don't tell me you came here for tourism, so I'm taking you back to learn more!"

"Um?"

Tengen Uzui was quite surprised, not expecting the Star Gate to be exposed so quickly. He thought to himself, "The fact that they were able to find me so accurately means that they knew what I looked like beforehand. The others must have been targeted as well."

He now suspects that the other party either possesses some kind of ability to Future Sight, or has extraordinary means to monitor the entire country.

With this thought in mind, he made a decision immediately. While slowly drawing the Black-Gold Twin Blades from his back, he maintained a gentle smile, extending a sincere invitation to them like a refined gentleman.

"I see. In that case, I would like to invite you two to our place for some hot tea or something. What do you say?"

"Snort!"

Upon hearing this answer, Modai stopped arguing and kicked off the frozen ground with her right foot, instantly disappearing from the spot in a blur.

The next moment.

A graceful and agile figure appeared in front of Tengen Uzui with a strong whooshing sound, and her right fist, enveloped in a layer of visible wind pressure, slammed forward.

[Duang!]

"Impressive momentum!"

Tengen Uzui casually caught Modai's punch with the end of the hilt of his sword in his right hand, and at the same time, the ground beneath his feet cracked as the force was transmitted.

"How is that possible!"

Modai's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her fist, which was unable to advance an inch, and her opponent's unmoving body. She had always been very confident in her Physical Arts, and this punch of hers had even used the power of 'Emperor's Shingu: Destruction King'.

"Um?"

At that moment, Tengen Uzui also looked at the beautiful face so close to his with surprise, because he felt a strange force seeping into his body through the hilt of his sword.

Although the power wasn't great and didn't cause any damage, it was because he had used Armament Haki to protect himself.

"This seems to be Internal Destruction technique of Armament Haki?"

Although he didn't know the technique yet, he had heard about its general effects.

[Bang! Bang!]

Just then, two bullets, accompanied by loud gunshots, flew past Modai's ears. Tengen Uzui initially turned his head to dodge them without paying any attention.

But the next second her expression changed drastically, and with a speed that was difficult for the Modai eye to detect, she suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Shave!"

The Setsuna his figure disappeared, the two bullets flew back and then whizzed past Modai's ears again. The whole process happened so fast.

"Not good!"

Modai was shocked. When she realized that there was no one in front, to the left, to the right, or above her, she immediately turned around to look behind her. With a muffled thud, she saw Tsukushi being struck on the back of the neck by Chikushi Tengen Uzui with the hilt of his sword. She immediately rolled her eyes back and fainted on the snow.

"What an amazing marksman! The bullet can even fly back. Wait, that doesn't seem to fall under the category of marksmanship, does it?"

Tengen Uzui looked at Chikushi's overly beautiful body with lingering fear. If it weren't for his Observation Haki detecting her in time, his temple might have been pierced by a bullet.

The reason I say "possibly" is because there is still a chance that I might be able to use Armament Haki to Hardening my vital points and defend myself at the critical moment.

But who knows if the enemy's bullets might have some other dangerous special effects?

[Boom!]

At this moment, Modai charged forward, swinging her fist, still as menacing as ever, her terrifying fist wind transforming into an almost tangible layer of vacuum.

In terms of sheer power, this punch is comparable to the Rokushiki's Rankyaku or the Star Sword's Flying Slash.

"You're beautiful, but you're too fierce!"

Tengen Uzui suddenly felt that his three wives at home were still better, but he did not hesitate at all. He used his arms to slash the specially made Nichirin Blade forward.

"First Form, Boom!"

The moment the golden blade, tearing through the cold wind, touched the Setsuna of the fist, a violent explosion, Huoguang, and deafening sounds erupted between the two.

"Teigu"

In the Setsuna that Modai was engulfed by the Huoguang, smoke, and sound waves, she subconsciously thought of the Teigu. Just as she was enduring the pain and trying to back away to create distance...

A long, slender leg burst through the Black Mist, hurtling towards her abdomen at incredible speed. Her instincts warned her that if it struck her, she would be incapacitated.

The next moment.

Modai's short hair grew at an incredible speed, transforming into a hand made of snow-white strands, attempting to stop Tengen Uzui's heavy leg.

"Hey, Life Return?"
