The helicopter took off.
The snow spray stirred up by the propeller shimmered with tiny golden light in the sunlight.
The atmosphere inside the cabin was heavy.
Liu Zhenguo sat opposite Li Jun, wanting to speak several times, but swallowed his words back.
He didn't know what to say.
I don't know what to ask.
All he knew was that Master Li was definitely not in a good mood at the moment.
Very bad.
Wei Zhixing remained silent.
The fact that Xiao Rizhi appeared in Kunlun means...
They didn't just arrive today.
They have been here for a long time.
They've been operating in the shadows.
The Night Watch's Kunlun branch was completely unaware!
Wei Zhixing clenched his fist.
dereliction of duty!
This is a serious dereliction of duty!
He took a deep breath, suppressing the guilt and anger in his heart.
Now is not the time to blame yourself.
The most urgent task is to cooperate with Master Li to resolve those minor issues!
Li Jun sat in his seat with his eyes closed.
He appears to be resting with his eyes closed.
In reality, he was using his divine sense to continuously lock onto that direction.
He could sense that those people were desperately trying to escape.
Want to run?
A slight smile curved the corners of Li Jun's lips.
The curve was very faint.
It was so faint that it was almost invisible.
But Liu Zhenguo, sitting opposite him, couldn't help but shiver.
That smile...
it's too cold.
……
And this moment.
On the snow-covered plains dozens of miles away.
Clutching the Kusanagi Sword, Ruri staggered forward.
Her face was ashen, and the blood at the corner of her mouth had congealed into a dark red scab.
Each step he took felt like he was using all his strength.
But she clung tightly to the sword, refusing to let go.
Hattori Senzan and four ninjas stood guard on both sides, vigilantly observing their surroundings.
"Lady Ruri!" Hattori Senzaki whispered, "Can you still hold on?"
Liuli did not answer.
She just gritted her teeth and kept running.
can't stop.
We absolutely cannot stop.
They finally found the Kusanagi Sword, finally broke the seal, and finally escaped from the collapsing ice crevice.
How can we stop?
Once you cross that ridge, you'll reach the designated evacuation route.
Once you enter that area riddled with ice fissures, you can take advantage of the complex terrain to shake off your pursuers.
then……
Then you can take the Kusanagi Sword and return to the Land of Cherry Blossoms.
Returning to my hometown.
Liuli's eyes were somewhat blurry.
I don't know if it was sweat or tears.
She remembered what the high priest had said to her before she left.
"Liuli, this journey is dangerous, but you must go."
"You are the most outstanding priestess of this generation of Shintoism, and the chosen one of Tsukuyomi no Mikoto. Only you have the possibility of sensing the aura of the Ama-no-Kurakumo-no-Tsurugi."
"Find it and bring it back."
"The future of Japan rests on your shoulders."
She knelt in the shrine and solemnly kowtowed.
"Rest assured, my lord, I will not fail you."
Now, she has finally found it.
They really brought it out.
As long as I go back...
As long as I go back...
Liuli's legs suddenly went weak.
Pfft!
She collapsed onto the snow.
"Lady Ruri!"
Hattori Senzan's expression changed drastically, and he rushed over immediately.
The four ninjas stopped and gathered around.
Hattori Senzan helped Ruri to her feet and asked urgently, "Lady Ruri! What happened? Are you injured?"
Liuli did not answer.
She simply lowered her head, her whole body trembling violently.
"Lady Ruri?" Hattori Senzan felt a sense of foreboding.
He followed Liuli's gaze.
Then, he froze.
A blinding red light emanated from the collar of Liuli's dress.
The red light pierced through the thick winter clothes, burning one's eyes.
Chi Chi Chi!
Amidst the faint sounds, a burnt smell wafted through the air.
That's the smell of flesh being roasted.
"That being..." Ruri finally spoke, her voice hoarse, "It's...it's here..."
The voice just fell.
Click!
A crisp cracking sound.
The red light on Liuli's chest suddenly burst forth, then quickly went out like a candle flickering in the wind.
Hattori Senzan's eyes widened, and he suddenly looked up, glancing around.
The snow-covered plains stretched out endlessly.
There was nothing there.
But his heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, tightening more and more.
Just then.
Buzz!
A muffled rumble came from afar.
From far to near.
It's getting clearer and clearer.
Hattori Senzan stiffly turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.
Then, he saw it.
In the distance, a small black dot in the sky is rapidly growing larger.
Helicopter.
Dark green paint.
The symbol of the Night's Watch.
Hattori Senzan's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
Buzz!
The roar of the helicopter grew closer.
It got louder and louder.
Hattori Senzan stood still, watching the helicopter get closer and closer until it finally hovered less than a hundred meters away from them.
The propeller stirred up air currents, swirling up a sky full of snow foam.
That helicopter was so small, suspended a hundred meters in the air, it looked like a toy.
But for some reason, Hattori Senzan felt like he couldn't breathe.
It's like an invisible mountain is pressing down on your head.
It was so heavy that his spine was creaking.
Four ninjas surrounded them, standing back to back in a circle, each holding a katana with the tip pointing outwards.
But fear was written all over everyone's face.
Ruri was supported by Hattori Senzan and managed to stand up with difficulty.
It's completely shattered.
She knew better than anyone what this meant.
That terrifying existence...
We're on the helicopter right now.
"Lady Ruri," Hattori Senzan took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "can you use the power of the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi?"
Liuli paused for a moment, then looked down at the sword in her arms.
The sword still gleamed with a faint golden light.
Warm, and vast.
But her heart was ice-cold.
To unleash the power of the Kusanagi Sword?
She had only just acquired the sword; she hadn't even had time to establish contact with it.
Forced activation...
It will kill her.
But she seems to have... no choice.
Liuli raised her head and looked at the helicopter.
He gritted his teeth.
"able."
Hattori Senzan nodded emphatically.
"good!"
He gripped his katana tightly, his eyes fixed on the helicopter.
"We'll attack together when the helicopter lands!"
"Shoot down the helicopter first!"
The four ninjas shouted in unison, "Hi!"
however.
Just then.
The helicopter door suddenly opened.
A figure stepped out of the hatch.
Hattori Senzan's pupils suddenly contracted.
The figure stepped out of the cabin and walked step by step down from a height of 100 meters, seemingly stepping on thin air.
With each step, it felt as if there were invisible steps beneath my feet.
Steady and steady.
Take it easy.
It's like taking a walk in your own backyard.
Hattori Senzaki opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
He has lived for over forty years and has seen countless powerful figures.
The Grand Onmyoji of the Onmyo-ryo (Bureau of Yin and Yang), a Shinto deity, and even a slumbering divine being.
But he had never seen it before...
Someone can actually walk down from the sky like that.
Is this guy even human?
The four ninjas froze on the spot, forgetting to raise their katanas.
Their minds went blank.
Only one thought kept recurring:
It’s over.
It's all over.
Liuli's body trembled even more violently.
As she watched the figure descend from the sky, she suddenly recalled a line recorded in the shrine's ancient texts:
"A true god does not rely on external objects or magical implements; with a single thought, heaven and earth respond; with a single step, mountains and rivers shift."
The scene before my eyes...
Isn't it just the god described in ancient books?
In just over ten seconds.
The figure landed on the snow.
They were less than thirty meters away from Hattori Senzan and the others.
He just stood there.
Behind us, the helicopter slowly ascended and flew into the distance.
But he didn't even glance at it.
I just quietly watched the group of Japanese people in front of me.
Hattori Senzan finally saw that face clearly.
young.
too young.
He looks to be in his early twenties.
He had delicate features, wore a dark gray windbreaker, and carried an ordinary hiking backpack.
If I hadn't seen him fall from the sky with my own eyes...
Hattori Senzaki would definitely think that he was just an ordinary college student.
But at this moment, he just stood there.
Nothing was done.
But Hattori Senzaki felt difficulty breathing.
That feeling...
Like an ant standing at the feet of an elephant.
The elephant was just walking normally.
The ant felt like the sky was falling.
