Rescue

Wen Guang Yidao and on, spouting a string of words, some useful and some not.

Perhaps it was to wear down Chisaki Kai's will and fighting spirit, thereby increasing their own chances of victory?

He was carrying a knife; he was clearly a self-taught amateur.

"... After decades of honing my skills, two years ago, I finally and completely combined my 'Quirk' with my swordsmanship, forming a supreme swordsmanship that belongs only to me!"

"Come and fight! Let your blood prove once again the might of my sword!"

As Wen Guang Yidao said this, he charged forward, the sword on his shoulder somehow disappearing and pointing diagonally at the ground.

Chisaki Kai remained expressionless, maintaining his half-squatting posture. He placed his glove-free hand on the ground, and the soil suddenly surged and churned wildly, like waves, rushing towards Wen Guang Yidao's direction.

Wen Guang Yidao's eyes were filled with excitement and savagery. His dream was to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship, but unfortunately, he was defeated by an old man carrying a sword last year...

The old man didn't even draw the sword from his robes...

He longed to prove his strength, not to prove that he was still weak.

"My 'Quirk' and swordsmanship are perfectly combined to form my own supreme way of swift swordsmanship! Through constant honing, I can now unleash a thousand slashes along the same trajectory at the same spot while others are already striking!"

"I can cut through even real waves, I can cut through even the omnipresent air! Your attacks, which rely solely on your 'Quirk,' are merely superficial and cannot stop my advance!"

Wen Guang Yidao, while running, gripped the sword on his shoulder with both hands, simultaneously activating a common anime technique—time stop—and then, as he had previously stated, unleashed a swift, sweeping slash. He also shouted:

"One Slash, a Thousand Strikes!"

Thousands of swords were slashed out along the same trajectory in a single second. The air in front of the slashing point was rapidly compressed and displaced, becoming like a vacuum. Then, the trajectory was constantly adjusted by the blade, gradually turning into an arc. After the last sword was slashed, it seemed to be released from a bow.

Swoosh~

As the force generated by the thousands of sword strikes was transmitted through the air, it continuously pushed and pushed aside the air in the path of the sword. It was also affected by the air, causing the power of the thousands of sword strikes to spread outwards, becoming less concentrated and its stability to be continuously weakened. It looked as if the invisible blades that were slashed out were constantly getting longer and thicker in the air.

If it continues to fly for another ten steps or so, it will probably completely dissipate and can only be used to blow out candles.

But at this moment, Wen Guang Yidao was only two or three steps away from Chisaki Kai...

Therefore, the 'sword energy' unleashed by this strike traveled forward smoothly, like a hot knife cutting through butter, dividing the surging wave of earth into two equal halves, with the gap in the middle just large enough for a person to pass through.

The earthen waves slapped past Wen Guang Yidao, without harming him in the slightest, and he continued his descent.

However, in the next instant, the yellow waves of earth on both sides, which had not yet subsided, changed again. Countless sharp earth spikes rose up from them, interlocking and clashing in a dazzling display, engulfing Wen Guang Yidao and everything within a two-meter radius around him.

The glint of swords flashes again!

Chisaki Kai had retreated three meters away, coldly watched as the blade flashed again within the area of impact between the ground spikes, shattering them to pieces. He also coldly watched as Wen Guang Yidao strike.

He wasn't flustered at all; in fact, he almost wanted to laugh.

He hadn't gotten up yet, and his hand was still on the ground. The guy in front of him, the most troublesome one for him, had already fallen into the trap he had set.

Wen Guang Yidao, and with a single slash, a flash of cold light appeared, followed by a clang.

A half-meter-diameter pillar of earth rose from the ground, lifting Chisaki Kai high into the air, flying diagonally toward the hole in the second-floor wall they had jumped out of earlier.

The earthen pillar was severed by the sharp, cold light, but it had already fulfilled its purpose.

Chisaki Kai was unharmed and was about to fly back to the ward on the second floor where the Chief of Staff was located.

Even with his speed-enhancing Quirk, Wen Guang Yidao couldn't get back to the second floor before Chisaki Kai.

It seems that Chisaki Kai has escaped danger and gotten rid of Wen Guang Yidao's entanglement.

It seems he has already managed to use his 'Quirk' to escape from underground, leaving the unsuspecting Uraraka Shige alone here to cover their retreat.

It seems... it seems there are too many, yet none of them are real.

Wen Guang Yidao's rapid slashes, delivered in succession, had already depleted a considerable amount of his stamina. Even with his Quirk, he was still slightly out of breath.

He looked up at Chisaki Kai, who was passing overhead. He still had some strength left. He estimated that he could probably do three more quick slashes. If he had time to adjust his breathing, he could do even more.

Without hesitation, he once again unleashed a sword aura, anticipating Chisaki Kai's flight path. The sword aura flew horizontally, gradually approaching Chisaki Kai was in mid-air with nowhere to dodge.

Chisaki Kai was in mid-air, but his attention was focused on Wendao Yiguang. Therefore, he naturally noticed the scene of Bunto Kazuhiro frantically Wendao Yiguang on the ground, and he also sensed the sword energy that was breaking through the air and getting closer and closer to him.

However, he was in mid-air and had no way to change direction, so he could only watch helplessly as the sword energy gradually descended upon him...

The two intersect.

Click~

Just as the sound of a stone slab cracking rang out, the trajectories of the sword energy and Chisaki Kai both changed.

The sword energy moved to the left, while the young master moved to the right.

In front of Chisaki Kai is a cracked, diamond-shaped stone shield, which he transformed from several pieces of rubble Chisaki Kai had picked up on the ground earlier.

He had anticipated that Wendao Yiguang would attack him from the air, and those pebbles were a means he had deliberately prepared to deal with it.

The sword energy sliced through the air and continued into the distance. Chisaki Kai flew back to the roof of the building on the right... This building only had two floors. He rolled over once to dissipate the excess inertia, and then, instead of getting up, he reached out and touched the roof below him.

The rooftop suddenly opened up, causing Chisaki Kai to plummet to the second floor once again.

This is the interior of a hospital room. The sound of falling has startled the patients inside, who are now sitting up and staring intently at Chisaki Kai without making a sound, like a group of moving dolls or a group of living wax figures.

Chisaki Kai was not frightened by the horrific scene. He rushed into the corridor and then into the ward where the Chief was. He carried the unconscious Chief of the Shie Hassaikai on his back and heard the sound of running footsteps coming from the second-floor stairwell.

Without any hesitation, Chisaki Kai directly appealed to his 'Quirk,' falling from the second floor back to the first floor, and then crouching down, placing his hands on the ground to open a secret passage that hadn't existed before...
