Chapter 165 Invitation from the Puppet Sword Demon
There is no road in the world, only when more people walk there will be a road.
Sometimes you don't need to use walking to clear a path, maybe a sword will do.
At the end of the ice road, a humanoid monster was still swinging a sword, with huge ghost faces surrounding it, adding a bit of mystery to it.
It wore thick armor, with fluffy white hair mixed with dark blue similar to the ice element. The spikes extending from the helmet looked like the sharp horns of the ghost clan, full of nobility and chill.
You can't see his face clearly under the helmet because there is a worn-out talisman stuck there.
Perhaps because it was too old, the talisman was dilapidated, as if a part was missing.
The weirdest thing is undoubtedly the silk threads all over its limbs and torso.
If Bai Luo's eyesight was not better than that of ordinary people, he would probably have ignored the faint thread.
The thread extended all the way up, seemingly disappearing into the void.
"Devil Sword Demon?!"
The other party's strange costume finally reminded Bai Luo of the monster in the mission.
Umi Luangui? No, it is much more advanced than Umi Luangui.
Not only does Little Brother Wanyu need to obtain breakthrough materials from it, but during the days when it entered the abyss, Bailuo's proficiency was not very high, and he was not used to its attack method.
How much loss did you suffer?
"Why...why is this thing here?!"
After seeing the appearance of the demon sword demon clearly, the fisherman was also surprised.
"It is usually near the head of the snake god, and as long as it is not close to it, it will not attack people at will."
The fisherman finally understood why everyone who entered Wuming Village disappeared. The origin of this puppet sword ghost was unknown, and its combat power was even more amazing.
Not to mention ordinary adventurers, even some owners of the Eye of God may not be its opponents.
"It... seems to be inviting a fight to Mr. Himura?"
Looking at the demon sword demon standing opposite Bai Luo, Zheping had a guess of his own.
If it were in the past, Zheping's performance would definitely not be as good as this fisherman who had seen strong winds and waves when faced with this demon sword demon.
But this period of training not only improved his swordsmanship and medical skills, but also improved his ability to withstand stress in disguised form.
After all, if someone stabs you in the heart every day, no matter how timid you are, you will develop a big heart.
In every sense.
"Well, it's just an invitation to fight."
Bai Luo put the reverse-edged sword into its sheath and looked at the demon sword ghost.
This sword ghost is not some kind of living thing, but a man-made thing.
It cannot make a sound on its own, but it uses the [sword] to make a sound.
And it realized that Bai Luo was one of the very few people who could "hear" the sword's words.
This sword is an invitation to fight as well as an invitation to talk.
But...I refuse
Bai Luo has no intention of fighting it at the moment.
As I said before, Bai Luo pursues safety no matter what he does.
Before he knew whether the evil spirit could affect him, he would never put himself in danger.
Digging into his pocket, Bai Luo took out a sunset fruit.
After swinging his arms twice, he threw the Sunset Fruit in his hand towards the Demon Sword Demon.
Let this thing act as the agreement between them. After finishing the things at hand, he will definitely come over to keep the appointment.
Seeing the Sunset Fruit flying toward him, the Demon Sword Demon did not swing his sword this time, but subconsciously reached out to catch the fruit.
It's not very intelligent, but it understands that this is not an attack.
Holding the fruit in his hand, the Demon Sword Demon looked at Bai Luo again.
The soaring sword intent was not concealed at all.
But Bai Luo completely ignored his provocation, waved to it, and jumped back on the boat.
After getting Bai Luo's permission, the fisherman rowed faster than before, wishing he had two more hands.
Only the demon sword ghost was left holding the sunken fruit, standing on the edge of Wuming Village, looking a little at a loss.
In the rain, the Demon Sword Demon looked at the direction the boat was leaving, and turned around and left after a long time.
"That thing shouldn't be able to eat, right?"
After returning to the ship, Bai Luo remembered another thing.
Qiqi can taste sour taste because she was once a human, so she naturally has human taste.
What about this demon sword ghost?
If your Sunset Fruit can taste sour even to the Demon Sword Demon, that would be really incredible.
The incident with the Demon Sword Demon was just a small episode. With the efforts of the fisherman, the ship arrived at a pier in a short period of time and gradually docked.
"There is a snake bone mine here. Most of Inazuma's minerals are produced from here. It was not until the shogunate and Fontaine cooperated to create the Mikage Furnace Heart that the place gradually declined. This dock was also very lively before."
After docking, the fisherman explained to Bai Luo.
Indeed, this pier may seem a bit small in scale, but it basically has everything. You can even see a small tower crane. From the various wooden boxes stacked next to it, you can tell that this place was once prosperous.
As soon as the two landed ashore, the rebels who had been hiding nearby came out of the darkness.
They had received the news and came to pick him up in advance, but they were afraid of being discovered by spies from the shogunate, so they did not dare to show up casually.
"Mr. Himura!"
The few rebels who came out were holding long guns and looked very excited.
They had already known about Battousai's arrival at Haiji Island.
It's a pity that they still need to fight in Yaoji Island and have no time to go back to Kaiji Island.
Now that they knew that this gentleman was coming to Ba Ying Island, they even took the initiative to come and greet him, regardless of the danger of the evil spirits.
One person even took off his own raincoat and wanted to put it on for Bai Luo.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's go to the military camp first."
Bai Luo declined the other party's raincoat and held his reverse blade knife with his backhand.
The scent of plum blossoms spread faintly, and everyone felt their eyes blur. The reverse-blade knife in his hand turned into a red oil-paper umbrella.
The red clothes and red umbrellas actually swept away the filth around them. Several rebels who had been suppressed for a long time by the power of the evil spirit also felt refreshed.
"Mr. Himura is truly a strange person."
It's not like these rebels haven't seen the methods of the Eye of God holders, but this is the first time they have seen this kind of knife-turned-umbrella.
Although Zheping was not recognized by Bai Luo as his disciple, he had learned swordsmanship from Bai Luo, and his status had risen sharply.
Even though his treatment was not as good as Shiro's, there were still several rebels who were courting him and asking from time to time how they could become Mr. Feicun's disciple.
Zheping also smiled bitterly at this, because even he had never been recognized as a disciple by Bai Luo.
"If you want to be my disciple, you still need one thing."
This is what Bai Luo once told him.
But Zheping still didn't understand what the difference was.
Maybe...it's the murderous intention that Mr. Bai Luo always wanted him to have, right?
The distance between this dock and the military camp was not very far, and it didn't take them long to reach Tengdou Village in the north of Baling Island.
"Mr. Himura, we meet again."
Outside the military camp, Wulang had already led a group of resistance officers and had been waiting here for a long time.
The wagging tail also indicates that he is in a good mood.
Bai Luo was also in a good mood.
