204: Phantom of Time

"!" Kuromu turned his head in shock.

But there was nothing before his eyes.

"Phew..." Kuromu let out a long breath.

It was indeed auditory hallucination.

After all, someone who could appear so close behind him without him noticing the slightest movement.

Would at least be an Assassin-type Prefecture Lord of the same realm, or a High-rank Prefecture Lord.

There was no reason for such a person to be here.

Just as he thought it was an auditory hallucination, relaxed, and turned his head back.

He found that a silver-haired young man in black clothes had appeared before him at some point, with a sword hanging at his waist.

A layer of faint, dreamlike blue light lingered around his body.

The heavy rain passed through him, as if what stood before him at this moment was not a person, but a phantom.

A drop of cold sweat seeped from Kuromu's forehead.

He stared blankly at the handsome young man before him, not daring to move.

As if just moving slightly would result in instant death!

This intuition was incredibly strong!

"Shirakawa-sensei..." Ueno Harue's weak voice carried a strong sense of pleasant surprise.

When Kuromu heard this name, his pupils instantly contracted.

He knew this name.

The suspect who annihilated Beiyuan Heavy Industries, title - Tyrant!

It was actually him!

The person behind Ueno Harue was actually this ruthless figure!!

Kuromu's heart pounded violently, an indescribable panic spread through his mind, making his hands and feet cold, and his brain almost stopped thinking.

"You are already dead," the young man suddenly said, his light golden pupils glancing at him.

Kuromu didn't react.

"...Huh?"

"You are already dead," the silver-haired young man said, adding patiently.

"I already cut you just now, with this sword."

Only now did Kuromu clearly see the tachi at his waist.

The azure-green scabbard, the hilt wrapped in crimson rope, the perfect curve, the clear sword energy emanating through the scabbard... it was precisely the Family treasure that Ueno Yosuke had once spoken of.

Wait... He said he already cut me?

With that sword?

"Snap." Kuromu's arm fell off, the cut surface incredibly smooth.

"...Huh?"

Kuromu stared blankly at this scene.

The next second.

The scene before his eyes began to flip, his consciousness became blurry, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Before dying, he only heard the last sentence.

"I said, you are already dead."

Jiang Yuan said indifferently.

tachi kura kiri + Moment.

Made his cutting speed reach a terrifying height!

So much so that after being cut, the target could still survive for a period of time.

Like... a phantom of time.

"Thud." After seeing this scene, Ueno Harue completely relaxed, hugged Koyuki who had long since fainted, and collapsed onto the ground.

Jiang Yuan looked at Ueno Harue, his gaze distant.

"I have done what I promised you."

"The karmic ties between you and I should also end."

A faint spiritual light emitted from his palm.

He used mental power to invade Ueno Harue's spiritual world, controlling her to take out all the items stored in the System warehouse and throw them into Lan Lan's belly world.

Then he removed the mental imprint left in her mind.

After doing all this.

Jiang Yuan glanced at Ye and Miyata Yumi who had arrived before him, and said to Miyata Yumi, "Send them off this island."

"Eh eh eh eh eh?!!"

"You can do it, right?"

"I can, but..."

"You are unwilling?"

"Willing, willing, willing... ε=(´ο｀*))) Ah, alright."

Although Miyata Yumi was reluctant, she still accepted the task.

"Let's go, Ye."

Jiang Yuan said.

Ye nodded and followed him into the darkness of the heavy rain.

...............This night was not yet over.

The rampaging demons in the city were eliminated.

But dealing with post-disaster matters was even more troublesome and tricky.

The injured were howling, the wounded were crying in the ruins, and the non-stop heavy rain was even more irritating.

Inside a ramen shop in a certain alley.

Tonight, only two customers sat at the counter eating chashu ramen.

One big, one small.

By age, they looked more like siblings.

"Ye, do you know where we can trade and get information?"

"Is Master talking about Gokurakukan?"

"Gokurakukan?"

"Yes, that is the largest underground organization on this island, operating the largest casino and underground boxing ring.

It is an existence recognized by the Shingu family, and any kind of information can be obtained there."

"Do you know where Gokurakukan is?"

"I know."

...Gokurakukan.

"Gokuraku, Gokuraku~~" The blond young man Lian soaked contentedly in the bath filled with high-level potions, his face full of enjoyment, "After being beaten by the snake, then taking a medicinal bath prepared by Sakura, it's simply too refreshing!!"

"This is probably the value of being alive~~"

...Inside a Japanese-style room.

"This... how is this possible!"

The beautiful woman received a piece of information, her expression extremely shaken.

"What's wrong? Sakura."

The black shadow snake asked.

Sakura said, "Just now, a Ninth-Order Grand Master from the Shingu Family and Muto Tsukasa... died."

"What!" The snake was greatly surprised.

"What happened? Who did it? Could it be that..."

The beautiful woman nodded bitterly, "It should be him."

"That Tyrant."

"Shirakawa Gen!"

"Besides him, there would be no second person to do such a thing, nor would they have this ability."

The snake's tone was shocked, and he said blankly, "But... how is this possible?"

"How did he do it?!"

"I don't know.

But it seems that Young Master Lian's decision to stay away from the Crown Position Battle was correct."

The beautiful woman Sakura sighed, "That guy is less like a Tyrant and more like a Demon King.

He single-handedly plunged this Artificial Island Araya into an unprecedented storm."

Suddenly, the barrier covering the entire Gokurakukan distorted.

The beautiful woman's pretty face turned cold, and the pressure of an Eighth-rank Martial Artist erupted.

"Who is it?!"

"How dare they not use the main entrance and trespass into Gokurakukan?!"

The next second.

A tall and slender figure appeared directly in front of her.

Sakura's expression changed drastically when she saw him, becoming shocked and horrified.

"You, you are...!"

"Bai Chuan... Yuan?!"
