"What the hell!" Shinichi Kudo pouted, feeling somewhat resentful, but chose to leave with Inspector Megure and the others.
How could he possibly feel at ease without witnessing the murderer being apprehended with his own eyes?
......................................................................................................
On the other side, Fang Yan was running quickly toward the sound of gunfire. Along the way, many classmates were running in the opposite direction, and some girls were even screaming.
This scene is somewhat reminiscent of Ultraman, where a monster arrives and the foolish Earthlings flee in panic.
However, faced with this situation, Fang Yan was more like a retrograde, going against the tide, heading towards wherever there was danger.
Soon, Fang Yan arrived at the scene where the gunshots had broken out. Seeing the situation there, Fang Yan's expression turned serious.
This time, the opponent is not a being like Daikokuten, but it still doesn't seem easy to deal with.
"Is this Awaya Mugi? No, is he being controlled right now?" Fang Yan saw a figure shrouded in black mist.
Although the other party's appearance was obscured by the black aura, Fang Yan still recognized him. The long sword in the other party's hand was also emanating a strong black aura.
Fang Yan could clearly sense that the long sword was emanating an ominous and evil aura!
Awaya Mugi was completely affected by this aura. Fang Yan could even sense that the long sword actually had a soul, and that the sword had bewitched Awaya Mugi.
Behind Awaya Mai lay a greasy, bald middle-aged man. Fang Yan was familiar with this man; he was the vice principal in charge of personnel at their school.
However, he was already dead at this moment, and had even been cut in half at the waist by Awaya Mugi. What a deep-seated hatred and grudge this must have been!
At this point, Fang Yan had more or less guessed the truth of the matter! It seemed that this matter was inseparable from Minagawa Akane. Awaya Mugi was also Minagawa Akane's sycophant, and he probably knew some things about Minagawa Akane. Coupled with the influence of the evil spirit inside the long sword, this led to the current situation.
The black aura that Fang Yan saw earlier was also closely related to this long sword.
Originally, Awaya Mugi was just an ordinary, normal person, just like Fang Yan. But now, Awaya Mugi is clearly different. Even ordinary firearms seem to have no effect on Awaya Mugi. The bullets are blocked by the black gas when they get close to Awaya Mugi.
"Fang Yan? What are you doing here? Get out of here! You might be one of his targets!" Fang Yan's arrival quickly attracted the attention of people nearby, and Sato Miwako immediately warned him.
Although Fang Yan and Minagawa Akane seem to have no relationship, it's because Fang Yan and Minagawa Akane have a rumored romance!
Now, not only is Minagawa Akane gone, but two other men who were connected to her are also dead. Awaya Mugi himself was also connected to Minagawa Akane, and they are worried that Fang Yan is also within Awaya Mugi's scope of revenge.
"Fang Yan? Since you're here, then don't leave!" Unfortunately, Awaya Mugi also noticed Fang Yan, and her eyes flashed with green light. A terrifying aura swept towards Fang Yan like a tidal wave.
"Watch out, Fang Yan, get out of here right now! We're buying you some time!" Sato Miwako quickly fired several shots at Awaya Mugi.
However, these bullets were not very effective against the black aura emanating from Awaya Mugi.
“No need!” Fang Yan sighed softly. Under the incredulous gazes of many, a long sword appeared in his hand, with a whisk-like “tail” at the hilt.
What everyone found unbelievable was that the sword was surrounded by a purple aura and exuded a mysterious aura.
Chapter 30
"This?" Sato Miwako was completely shocked; this scene was truly unbelievable!
That sword glowed!
Fortunately, something even more unbelievable had already happened before: the black aura surrounding Awaya Mugi was so strong that even bullets couldn't penetrate it!
Moreover, at this moment, Sato Miwako also remembered that some kendo masters seemed to have extraordinary abilities.
About two years ago, a gang angered a kendo master, who then stormed into the headquarters alone and single-handedly took down more than a hundred people.
This is something that's hard to understand, and the sword master doesn't seem to have been severely punished; he's still alive and well.
Perhaps Fang Yan is also the kind of master who keeps his skills hidden, or even a reclusive expert.
"Die!" While Sato Miwako was lost in her fantasies, Awaya Mugi had already arrived in front of Fang Yan with a long sword and slashed down at Fang Yan's head.
Faced with this attack, Fang Yan also took out Qiu Li to block it. He felt quite helpless. He just wanted to hide behind the scenes and be a cunning old fox, but now it seemed that he had no choice but to become high-profile.
There was nothing he could do; after all, he himself was one of Awaya Mugi's targets.
The main reason Fang Yan rushed over was that if he didn't come over on his own initiative, Awaya Mugi would go to his classroom and cause him trouble!
This is not the situation Fang Yan wants to see; he doesn't want his own problems to affect others.
Fortunately, the area has been mostly cleared out, and there's not much else around except for some police officers. If we can finish dealing with Awaya Mugi's matter as soon as possible and let my father talk to them, I should be able to return to a normal life for a while.
Fang Yan was unaware that a bob-haired girl was watching him with concern beside a cherry blossom tree not far away, though it seemed no one could see her.
Mugi Awaya didn't have it, Miwako Sato and the others didn't have it, and neither did Fang Yan.
This person was none other than Kato Megumi, and this was not the first time Kato Megumi had seen Fang Yan fight against such a monster.
This further convinced Kato Megumi that Fang Yan was indeed a hero secretly protecting the world. Otherwise, why would he have rushed over?
"Clang!" Faced with the powerful slash of the long sword, Fang Yan used Qiu Li to parry.
Seemingly sensing the evil and ominous aura emanating from the longsword, Qiu Li also emitted an even richer purple gas, gradually dispelling the black energy.
It not only prevented the black energy from corroding Fang Yan through the sword, but also seemed to have a certain purifying effect.
"Heh! As expected?" A smile appeared on Fang Yan's lips. Qiu Li truly lived up to its reputation as a famous sword of Taoism. In a sense, Qiu Li was a sword that contained the ultimate principles of Taoism!
It seems perfectly normal to dispel some evil influences.
"It's stopped!" Officer Shiratori, who was standing to the side, also looked horrified when he saw this scene. They had personally witnessed Awaya Mugi killing the vice principal. The vice principal was cut in half at the waist by Awaya Mugi without any resistance.
But now Fang Yan has stopped him, and it seems he hasn't even had to use much effort.
"Damn it! What's going on?" Awaya Mugi was also shocked. He had just gained the power of "invincibility" and that even bullets could not harm him. However, Fang Yan, the one who deceived Minagawa-sensei's feelings, blocked it. This was something he simply could not accept.
Most importantly, the aura emanating from the opponent's sword made him extremely uncomfortable.
He launched a series of attacks on Fang Yan, using slashing, chopping, and hacking techniques.
Fang Yan: Meow meow meow, I deceived Minagawa Akane's feelings? You must be joking?
"Blind arrogance after suddenly gaining immense power?" Fang Yan chuckled, occasionally dodging Awaya Mugi's attacks with nimble footwork, and sometimes positioning Akari in a position to counter the longsword's attack.
However, his heart was far from calm, as Awaya Mugi's strength was growing stronger and stronger!
No, to be precise, as the battle progressed, Awaya Mugi completely lost her rationality and was instead controlled by the sword!
Fang Yan had no intention of saving Awaya Mugi. Being controlled was one thing, but equally important was that he had indeed killed someone and even tried to kill Fang Yan. Fang Yan had no intention of redeeming him.
His primary concern was to completely eliminate the potential dangers posed by the knife.
He wanted to completely destroy what was inside the knife!
"Amazing!" Sato Miwako exclaimed as she watched Fang Yan easily deflect Awaya Mugi's attack.
"But why doesn't he retaliate?" Officer Shiratori asked, frowning.
"Could it be that they're worried about retaliating and accidentally kill the other person?" Sato Miwako asked uncertainly.
"Perhaps, maybe!" Shiratori hesitated, but as things stand, that seemed to be the only reason.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Niao said loudly to Fang Yan, "My friend, please don't hold back. This kind of special case can be handled specially!"
(It's been so long since I've written anything about the Qin Dynasty that I almost confused Qiu Li and Xue Ji! Sigh! My unfinished business!)
Chapter 31
"Fang Yan, please be careful!" Sato Miwako reminded Fang Yan.
At this moment, in Sato Miwako's eyes, Awaya Mugi could no longer be considered a real human being. Under such circumstances, Fang Yan's safety was naturally the more important issue.
Moreover, if Fang Yan is defeated by Awaya Mugi, and since bullets are ineffective against Awaya Mugi, they don't know how to fight back against her.
Fang Yan didn't pay much attention to Sato Miwako and the others' worries. Qiu Li kept clashing with the long sword, and his own body was spinning, jumping and twisting, showing his mobility to the fullest.
Dongjun isn't particularly skilled in swordsmanship; she's more adept at Yin-Yang seals. However, this doesn't mean Dongjun's strength with a sword shouldn't be underestimated. After all, it's a world teeming with swordsmen, and even the Yin-Yang School knows swordsmanship, though they aren't particularly skilled at it.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a technique like "gathering energy to form a blade."
"Clang! Clang!" The long sword and the Qiu Li sword clashed repeatedly. Awaya Mugi kept attacking Fang Yan, while Fang Yan parried and countered. This battle was beyond the reach of Officer Shiratori and Sato Miwako.
Even at this moment, they dared not fire at Awaya Mugi. They could hardly guarantee that they could hit Awaya Mugi. If they hit Fang Yan, that would be a real problem.
"Your strength is getting greater and greater. Are you Awaya Mugi or a sword now?" Fang Yan, facing Awaya Mugi's slash, twisted his body to dodge the attack. Then, with a flick of his Autumn Blade, he easily deflected Awaya Mugi's blade and said in a deep voice.
"Damn it!" With just this one strike, Awaya Mugi sensed something was wrong. It seemed that she was indeed suppressing Fang Yan in the attack, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that it was only her side that was attacking, while Fang Yan was dodging and blocking.
At this point, even the most obtuse person would have noticed something amiss.
Just like that previous counterattack, Awaya Mugi felt a sense of threat. The opponent's strength was definitely not just that, at least not like before when he could only take a beating.
Moreover, as the battle progressed, Awaya Mugi became increasingly violent, and his rationality gradually disappeared.
Fang Yan had no intention of saving Awaya Mugi. Not only would saving her be a thankless task, but he also needed the swords' energy to farm points. Furthermore, he had no connection to Awaya Mugi, so there was absolutely no need for him to try and save her.
Most importantly, for some people, living is worse than dying. Regardless of the reasons, Awaya Mugi did kill three people.
Fang Yan is not a saint; at this moment, he chose selfishness!
"Roar!" With a roar from Awaya Mugi, the black aura around his body became more and more substantial, especially the long sword in his hand, which exuded an incomparably terrifying aura, as if the long sword had come to life.
With that roar, Awaya Mugi completely lost consciousness; to be precise, he was now completely controlled by the longsword.
The terrifying aura made Sato Miwako and Officer Shiratori, who were preparing to support Fang Yan not far away, breathless. Was this really a human?
Undoubtedly, what happened today has truly overturned their worldview.
This is a monster!
"Finally out?" Fang Yan murmured, as a large amount of true energy began to flow into the Qiu Li sword. Through the previous battle, Fang Yan had clearly felt that the Taoist principles on the Qiu Li sword had a great restraining effect on the black energy on the longsword.
The weapon's ability to counteract the longsword alone was extremely effective, and as Fang Yan continuously channeled his true energy into it, the purple aura on Qiu Li became increasingly intense.
Although the Yin-Yang School is not skilled in using swords, we should not forget that they originally originated from the Taoist school.
Even though Fang Yan didn't feel a particularly good connection with Qiu Li when using her, Qiu Li didn't resist him. In fact, at this moment, Fang Yan could feel that he and Qiu Li seemed to become more compatible.
"Roar!" Seeing this situation, Mugi Awaya on the other side also panicked. At this moment, he could be considered a sword spirit, no, to be precise, a sword demon.
It has always been sealed within the family heirloom sword of Awaya Mugi.
He was sealed for a long time, and with the revival of spiritual energy, the seal gradually loosened. Especially during this period, Awaya Mugi seemed to be full of resentment, which he gradually absorbed.
Yesterday, after learning some of the truth about his teacher, Mugi Awaya's resentment erupted continuously. Under the spell of the sword, he began to kill people with it, and the sword demon began to possess Mugi Awaya's body.
