Chapter 274

Then the Book of Cang Xuan looked towards the outskirts of the city.

After a few seconds, Book of Cang Xuan turned his gaze back to the figure and gently waved his small, slender arm at it.

Instantly, the flames of the "Array of Profound Fire" boiled over, and then an invisible force penetrated into the figure's body.

As the invisible force entered the figure's body, Book of Cang Xuan's solemn and serious gaze once again became lazy and drowsy.

Then, she floated gracefully behind Fuse Midori and Tsuki.

——

District 39.

On a street with a sewer manhole cover.

Several gloomy, dark, and seemingly dangerous figures were scattered around, each pulling a heavy-looking bomb from a bag beside them.

But unbeknownst to them, the red and white feathers were quietly burning with crimson flames.

Chapter 51: One Kill!

"Since we want to end this quickly, then— Offensive Append: Thorn!"

"Pfft!"

A hissing sound rang out, and then huge blades appeared to grow from all over the tire.

The tire transformed into a cruel weapon covered in sharp spikes the moment it hit the ground.

Then, the girl gave Luo Mio a sweet smile and slowly extended her hand to Luo Mio.

"GO!"

The "Wanderer" was instantly released. With the girl's voice as a signal, the "Wanderer," which was also the tire, immediately emitted a roar similar to a shockwave engine and spun violently towards Luo Mio.

Wherever the sharpest part of the "thorn" goes, it leaves a deep mark.

Seeing this, Luo Mio took a small step back, stretched out her left hand, and as the "Wanderer" attacked her side, she grabbed the doorknob of the Unmanned Gate and slammed it hard at the "Wanderer".

"Hey."

The girl gasped in surprise upon seeing this.

Although the Unmanned Gate knocked the "wanderer" away, intense sparks flew at the moment of impact, leaving two cracks on the Unmanned Gate.

Kibito Atsuro looked at Luo Mio and introduced him with a light laugh.

"Kurumi Rika 'Hummingbird,' is one of the results of the 'New World Creation Plan.'"

"New World Creation Plan"

Originally, it was the next step in the "New Human Creation Plan," with the ultimate goal of replacing more than half of a person, and eventually the rest of the brain, with holmium-manufactured machines.

However, the project was ultimately halted due to the termination of the "New Human Creation Plan".

The girl in front of him probably had some kind of chip implanted in her brain, giving her the ability to connect with things with her thoughts and make them move as if they had consciousness.

This is also known as "Brain-Machine Interface (BMI)".

The two tires next to the girl in front of me are probably her thought-driven interface.

Kibito Atsuro chuckled, his expression gentle, showing no sign of any murderous intent.

"By the way, the 'Hummingbird' has a 100% assassination rate!"

"Another person, 'Sword is also one of the results of the New World Creation Plan.'"

After saying that, the "Wanderer," which had been sent flying, continued to drive its shockwave engine, charging towards Luo Mio like a marble.

Luo Mio watched the "Wanderer" hurtling towards her like a marble, her expression unwavering, calmly observing the "Wanderer".

Luo Mio's unmoved reaction surprised the three members of the Kibito Atsuro. They thought that Luo Mio knew that the "Hummingbird" in front of her was a member of the New World Creation Plan and knew her 100% assassination rate, so she was preparing to give up resisting.

Just as the "Wanderer" charged and bounced up in front of Luo Mio's figure dodged the "Wanderer's" attack with the utmost precision, like a ghost.

Luo Mio's figure inexplicably accelerated, and she arrived in front of the girl.

"Varied...?!"

Kurumi Rika stared wide-eyed in surprise at Luo Mio in front of her.

Kurumi Rika reached her right hand into the doll she was holding in her left hand.

"No matter how fast it is, it can't beat the speed of a sniper rifle... right?"

Luo Mio's calm tone reached her ears, and then she saw Luo Mio gently pat her palm.

What puzzled her was that Luo Mio's palm did not hit her, but stopped in front of her chest.

But in the instant she was puzzled, an invisible force of gravity struck her entire body. In the blink of an eye, before she could even think, Kurumi Rika's body was slammed heavily backward.

"Bang!"

Kurumi Rika's body smashed into the shipping container behind her, creating a huge dent.

"Ughhhhhh—!"

The immense gravity not only sent her flying, but Luo Mio's force also penetrated her body, causing pain to spread throughout her entire being, making it impossible for her to control the "Wanderer" for a moment.

It was at this time.

Luo Mio glanced slightly to the side, then lifted her foot and stomped hard on the ground.

Instantly, countless pebbles were sent flying into the air by Luo Mio's kick.

The next moment, several muffled gunshots rang out in front of the pebble, and a few bright flashes of light passed by Luo Mio's side.

Then, a fleeting glint of gunfire pierced through the stone.

However, the bullet's trajectory was slightly deflected by the stone, and the bullet grazed past Luo Mio on both sides.

However, no one appeared in Luo Mio's sight.

Luo Mio's eyes narrowed slightly.

Optical camouflage.

His eyes lowered slightly as he looked at the ground.

There were no footprints.

Compared to "Hummingbird," who is still a junior high school girl, "Swordtail Fish" in front of them is an adult with richer combat experience and awareness.

But...

Luo Mio gently waved her right hand in front of her.

"Whoosh—!"

An invisible Sword Aura flashed in the eyes of Kibito Atsuro Kurumi Rika, like a fleeting ray of light.

One second later.

"————"

The shipping containers around Luo Mio suddenly revealed sword marks.

Kibito Atsuro looked down at his feet in shock, then quickly jumped off the container.

In the next instant, dozens or even hundreds of clear sword marks appeared on the exterior of the containers, and the marks continued to expand.

"Boom--!"

The Sword Aura inside the container suddenly erupted.

The sword energy slashed out like an explosion, bursting outwards in all directions.

Seeing this, Kibito Atsuro and Kurumi Rika hurriedly dodged the indiscriminate attack of the Sword Aura into the distance.

After a while.

The Sword Aura strikes ceased.

Kibito Atsuro looked around where Luo Mio was.

Luo Mio remained calm and composed, standing in place. The dust from the explosion of the Sword Aura made the surrounding scenery extremely blurry.

After a while, Luo Mio's surroundings gradually became clearer, and the scenery around Luo Mio was revealed.

The scene was a mess, with wreckage of containers and debris from inside them scattered everywhere.

Kibito Atsuro looked at everything before him with a grim expression.

How is that possible...!

The information says that Toudo Touka needs to draw her own sword to unleash her full swordsmanship skills, right?!

But just now, he simply waved his hand lightly!

Kibito Atsuro, of course, didn't understand.

Luo Mio doesn't need a weapon to unleash a slash right now.

"Great Void Sword Qi" - Soul Quintessence!

The essence of swordsmanship!

The way of the sword is ever-changing; the sword itself is merely the object upon which it is used.

The so-called Soul Quintessence means that one can wield all kinds of weapons in the world as if they were swords, and one does not need to be bound by the shape of a sword when using them.

And just then...

Not far from Luo Mio's side.

A tall figure slowly emerged.

Kibito Atsuro looked over.

The figure was the second assassin who had used optical camouflage to eliminate his own silhouette.

Swordtail Fish, Shikaoka Juugo.

However, the current situation of Shikaoka Juugo is extremely dire.

He was seen crouching on the ground, his hands protecting his body.

A clear slash mark and several smaller sword marks were visible on his arm, and his clothes were torn to shreds all over his body. Crimson blood was flowing continuously from the sword marks.

Unlike the others, Luo Mio's gaze seemed to pass through Shikaoka Juugo's skin, looking directly into his body.

There is a holmium-coated spine on the back of Shikaoka Juugo.

The holmium-coated spine is incredibly hard, and ordinary weapons cannot damage it.

But now, in Luo Mio's view, that incredibly hard holmium spine had been cut in two.

It seems that Shikaoka Juugo's hands did not help him block Luo Mio's slash.

The Sword Aura pierced straight through his body, directly attacking his holmium-contaminated spine.

Then Luo Mio's gaze fell on Shikaoka Juugo's skin.

"By implanting nanomaterials into the skin, one can refract light at will and disappear from the sight of others."

"But..."

Luo Mio gently shook her head.

"For a true martial artist, no matter how much light is refracted to make themselves disappear, their own presence can never be eliminated."

Following Luo Mio's words, Shikaoka Juugo's body collapsed to the ground.

Swordtail fish, Shikaoka Juugo!

Chapter 52: Red and White Feather

Looking at the dead Shikaoka Juugo lying on the ground, Kibito Atsuro's face was filled with shock, dismay, and fear.

As Kurumi Rika recovered from the pain, her gaze towards Luo Mio was filled with fear and terror.

The aftershocks of the Sword Aura explosion caused by just a light swing were enough to kill Shikaoka Juugo, who was located at the edge. If Luo Mio's attack had been aimed at her or Kibito Atsuro.
