"You...!"
Seeing Luo Zhen actually standing in front of him with such an unconcerned look, completely disregarding Ikki, who was covered in wounds and could be killed at any moment, Shizuku became unusually furious.
"Move!"
Shizuku raised the splashing short sword in her hand and issued an icy warning to Luo Zhen.
"I refuse."
Luo Zhen remained just as languid and careless as ever. He gave Shizuku a half-smiling expression and responded in that manner.
At that...
"Water Prison Bullet!"
Shizuku attacked Luo Zhen without hesitation. At the tip of the short sword pointed at Luo Zhen, the splashing water turned into a stream, and the stream turned into a cannonball. Using Shizuku's Evening Rain as the cannon barrel, it was released with a boom and shot straight toward Luo Zhen.
Its target was Luo Zhen's face.
This was a Blade-Breaker Technique developed specifically to target the weakness of human beings.
Once the water cannonball known as Water Prison Bullet struck an enemy's face, it would firmly cling to the enemy's head, causing them to suffocate and collapse, unable to continue fighting.
Since Water Prison Bullet was made of water, once it clung to someone's face, struggling would be useless no matter how hard the enemy fought.
Trying to grab it with their hands would only make their hands pass through the water on their face.
Attacking it with a weapon would not allow them to cut it apart, either.
Thus, although this Blade-Breaker Technique was simple and straightforward, it was still an effective method against humans who needed to breathe.
Unfortunately...
"That little trick won't work on me."
As Luo Zhen declared this, a silver-white chain shot out like a long whip and slammed into the incoming water cannonball.
"Bang—!"
Amid the muffled explosion, the water cannonball was smashed
