For a moment, Doma was at a loss as to what a normal person would do in that situation.
Should I kill my brother?
Should I kill my father?
Or should we kill them both?
"And then? Heh..." Tengen Uzui sneered, "Then I ran away! Just like that, uselessly ran away!"
Doma nodded, looking as if he had just realized something.
"Oh! So that's what a normal person should do in this situation? I've learned something new!"
"Hmph..." Tengen Uzui sneered, looking at Doma and asking, "So? How did you feel after hearing my past story?"
Upon hearing this, Doma frowned and lowered his head to think.
How should you feel at this moment?
Hmm, judging from his expression, this experience must have been unpleasant, so...
"I understand! I should sympathize with you and comfort you now!"
Tengen Uzui retorted decisively, "No! You should be happy now!!"
"Huh? Happy?" Doma, somewhat confused.
Why should I be happy?
When he told this story, he was probably more heartbroken than anything else, right?
Can't you be happy when you see others sad?
"That's right!" Tengen Uzui nodded and explained:
"Because you're a ghost! Ghosts shouldn't have compassion for humans!"
"So your focus shouldn't be on my experiences, but on my cold-blooded father and brother!"
Even if they had feelings, they abandoned those feelings!
"So, they can be said to be the same kind of people as you!"
You should be happy if you meet someone like you!
Bang!
Doma tapped his folding fan lightly in his hand.
"Oh, I see!"
After being reminded by Tengen Uzui, he already knew what he was going to ask next.
Where are your father and brother now?
Upon hearing this, Tengen Uzui hesitated for a long time before finally saying:
"Ha! You think I'd tell you their location so you can go find them and kill them?"
Doma raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Tengen Uzui, asking:
What were you struggling with just now?
Upon hearing this, Tengen Uzui remained silent for a long while before hesitantly saying:
"I was just thinking about whether to tell you to go and kill them! Because I believe that kind of family shouldn't exist in this world!"
"Then why did you stop talking at the end?" Doma asked, somewhat puzzled.
Tengen Uzui let out a deep breath. "Although I believe they shouldn't exist in this world, they are still my father and brother. I... can't bring myself to kill them, or have someone else kill them! If I did that, what difference would there be between me and them?"
"Hmm, so profound, so hard to understand!"
Doma gently rubbed his head a few times with his folding fan, then looked at Tengen Uzui and said:
"But you can rest assured when you tell me! I won't kill them! They're the same kind as me; I'll just turn them into ghosts!"
"Then I definitely won't tell you!" Tengen Uzui sneered.
Hmm, that seems to be true!
Doma gently tapped his folding fan against his hand.
"Although I know you're stalling for time, I'm still very grateful that you told me your story!"
"It's been quite a while now, could you please move aside and let me down?"
"Otherwise, I'll be in a lot of trouble if all the villagers are evacuated later!"
Tengen Uzui picked up two new stones from the ground.
"If you want to go down, then step over my dead body!"
"I knew it! But things will be different later! I won't play with you anymore!" Doma instructed.
As he spoke, he gently raised the folding fan with both hands.
With a 'whoosh' sound, the folding fan unfolded gently.
" Blood Demon Art: Cold White Princesses!"
Two ice sculptures resembling young girls appeared on either side of Doma.
As her crystal-clear lips parted slightly, a burst of icy air erupted from the ice sculpture's mouth, spreading outwards.
Is this the freezing air that Kato mentioned before?
This is also what Kato believes is a major reason why even if Gyomei Himejima defeat Doma.
Inhaling too much can cause frostbite to the lungs, severely impacting combat effectiveness.
Looking at the spreading icy cold air, Tengen Uzui frowned immediately.
He was still thinking about how to fight, but now...
As Doma controlled Hakuhime to continue spewing out freezing air, he walked towards the mountain path.
"Hateful!"
Tengen Uzui cursed under his breath, then, disregarding everything else, took a deep breath and charged towards Doma.
" Sound Breathing - Sixth Form - Rattlesnake Flash!"
A commotion arose, Tengen Uzui sped towards Doma like a bolt of lightning.
After dodging the freezing air spewed out by the Ice Princess, Tengen Uzui hurled the stone fiercely at Doma.
Doma raised a slight smile, holding the folding fan in both hands.
Blood Demon Art: Barren Hanging Garden!
The folding fan, thick with frost, faced Tengen Uzui.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...
Their figures quickly intertwined.
Whenever Tengen Uzui didn't want to go up, Doma would quickly walk towards the mountain path, forcing Tengen Uzui to bite the bullet and go on.
The chilling fog had unknowingly spread over the entire mountaintop.
The physical exertion from the intense battle forced Tengen Uzui to keep breathing heavily.
Even knowing it was bad for him, Tengen Uzui had no choice.
A chill gradually seeped into Tengen Uzui 'Tengen Uzui lungs, and his heart sank.
Their figures intertwined continuously, but Tengen Uzui's movement became slower and slower.
Time ticked by, and finally...
laugh!
The folding fan swept across Tengen Uzui's chest, and Tengen Uzui's figure was instantly sent flying backward.
No blood flowed out; the blood was frozen by the frost on the folding fan the moment it was exposed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Tengen Uzui's body slammed to the ground a few times, then dragged along the ground for a while before stopping.
"Cough cough cough..."
A violent cough came from Tengen Uzui's mouth.
He braced himself with his hands on the ground, trying to lift himself up, but failed several times.
A chilling aura emanated from his lungs, and it seemed to have infected the surrounding internal organs as well.
A continuous chill emanated from deep within his body, causing Tengen Uzui to tremble involuntarily.
Step, step...
Doma slowly walked to Tengen Uzui's side, squatted down, looked at the figure before him that was almost entirely covered in frost, and asked with a smile:
"How are you now? Do you regret it?"
