"Run!"
Faced with the densely packed spikes erupting from the ground, everyone immediately scattered.
Huiqi had only one goal: drive Ken Kaneki away and put on a show of loyalty while he was at it. Doing nothing would inevitably arouse suspicion. If the ginseng already in his grasp got away, Huiqi would be furious.
He feinted with his spear, then thrust three times in succession, destroying the rinkaku on Ken Kaneki's body in an instant.
A sweeping strike followed, slicing open Ken Kaneki's chest and sending blood spraying.
"Too slow." Huiqi looked at Ken Kaneki in dissatisfaction. If this was all he could manage, reaching the ideal state would probably be difficult.
"I'm doing my best!"
Still airborne, Ken Kaneki gritted his teeth and formed his rinkaku, hurriedly putting distance between himself and Huiqi. As he moved, Ayato Kirishima seized the chance to ambush Huiqi, his ukaku whistling sharply through the air.
Several spikes abruptly rose behind Huiqi, blocking every ukaku projectile.
At the same time, Ken Kaneki had finished preparing in front of him. His rinkaku plunged into the ground, forming a cage around Huiqi, before shooting straight toward his chest.
Clang!
The tip of the Quinque spear collided with the rinkaku. Golden electricity rapidly spread along it, about to reach Ken Kaneki's body in the blink of an eye.
In desperation, Ken Kaneki hurriedly detached his rinkaku and backed away.
But Huiqi gave him no chance. He closed in, his spear flickering again and again as blood blossomed across Ken Kaneki's body. He followed up with a straight kick that sent Ken Kaneki flying.
Watching Ken Kaneki seize the opportunity to flee, Huiqi immediately fired a bolt of golden lightning, bringing the fight to an end.
With that done, Huiqi took out his phone and reported the situation.
