Chapter 15 A chilling killing intent
Chapter 15 A chilling killing intent
The source of this malice is none other than Kaigaku, the only known flesh-bud parasite at present!
"What tricks is Kaigaku up to now?"
As he spoke, Li Ke closed his eyes and began browsing through the memories of the parasitic flesh bud, wanting to see what Kaiyue was up to.
This ability was actually developed by Li Ke unintentionally; it's considered an additional ability of the Blood Demon Art: Parasite.
It turns out that the parasitic flesh buds created by the Blood Demon Art: Parasitism are essentially part of Li Ke's body.
But in some ways, this parasitic granulation tissue can be considered a unique form of life.
As an alternative life form, it naturally possesses the instincts and memory abilities to live.
Thus, Li Ke frequently borrowed Kaigaku's body to learn and experience the Thunder Breathing Technique and its accompanying sword skills.
Naturally, they realized that in addition to having the instinct for life, the parasitic granulation tissue also possessed the ability to remember.
Using this characteristic, Li Ke successfully developed the ability to indirectly spy on what the parasite of the granulation tissue had gone through by parasitizing it.
Li Ke was initially very interested in this newly developed capability.
Every now and then, he would check the parasitic buds on Kaigaku's body to see what Kaigaku had been through recently and whether he was plotting some kind of conspiracy.
As it turned out, Kaigaku was unusually honest, so Li Ke reduced his attempts to spy on what Kaigaku had been going through lately.
But I didn't expect that Kaiyue was indeed dishonest, and he actually did so many little tricks when I wasn't paying attention.
After learning the whole story, a murderous glint flashed in Li Ke's eyes.
Kaigaku actually knew that Muichiro was jealous of him, to the point that he wanted to kill him.
Therefore, he ordered Kaigaku not to attack the Muichiro brothers.
However, unexpectedly, although Kaiyue dared not make a move openly, he did so in secret.
First, he took Muichiro's older brother down the mountain under the pretext of buying supplies, and showed him that man-eating demons really exist.
He then secretly revealed many suspicious points to Ichiro, leading Ichiro to realize with horror that Li Ke might be a cannibalistic demon. In the end, he escaped from there with his younger brother.
Throughout the entire process, Kaigaku remained hidden behind the scenes, concealing himself very well, since it was Ichiro and Muichiro who made the decision to escape.
If Li Ke didn't have the ability to examine the memories of the flesh buds, thus indirectly seeing what the flesh bud parasites had recently experienced, he might actually have been deceived by Kaigaku.
He simply believed that Ichiro and Muichiro had discovered the truth that he was a demon, and in the end, he escaped with his younger brother before being killed by Kaigaku.
"This Kaiyue is so cunning; we really shouldn't underestimate anyone."
As he spoke, Li Ke closed his eyes again to see what Kaiyue was doing.
Why did you leave without saying goodbye?!
Kaigaku, who blocked the two, asked the question knowingly, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
Having plotted for so long, he could finally eliminate Muichiro. The killing intent in Kaigaku's eyes was no longer concealed.
Simply because he absolutely cannot allow anyone to be better than him, or more talented than him!
"The training is too tiring. We don't want to be samurai anymore. We want to go home."
Ichiro took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice, while protecting Muichiro behind him.
"If you want to leave, then leave openly and honestly. If you're going to sneak around like this, you must have discovered something."
With that, Kaigaku placed his hand on the hilt of his katana.
He now carries two swords with him, one is a Nichirin Blade and the other is a katana.
The purpose was to prevent the Nichirin Blade from killing the demon and ultimately failing to obtain the demon's blood essence.
After all, after Kaigaku was parasitized by the flesh bud, not only did Li Ke need the essence of the demon blood, but he also actually needed the essence of the demon blood.
The more ghost blood essence he obtains, the more parasitic buds can grow and penetrate into more of the body's meridians, making his physique stronger and giving him more internal energy.
Of course, obtaining the essence of demon blood does not mean having him eat the blood or flesh of evil demons raw.
In reality, after defeating the demon, the parasitic granulation tissue inside the body is stimulated when the flesh comes into contact with the demon's blood.
The stimulated parasitic granulation tissue will instinctively grow at an accelerated rate, eventually penetrating Kaigaku's skin.
It transforms into tubular tentacles that pierce into the bodies of defenseless demons, consuming the essence of their demonic blood to grow stronger.
This act of consuming the essence of ghost blood is far more bizarre and inexplicable than Li Ke's act of swallowing the essence of ghost blood with his mouth, sending chills down one's spine.
Of course, Kaigaku thoroughly enjoyed it, simply because he absorbed the essence of each demon's blood.
He could clearly feel his physique getting stronger and stronger, and his internal energy increasing.
Therefore, he is actually quite enthusiastic about ghost hunting.
"That Li Ke is a cannibalistic monster!"
Ichiro said this with certainty, then looked at Kaigaku with an angry expression.
"You tricked us into coming here, and then eliminated us under the pretext that we couldn't keep up with the training progress."
"Nominally, the orphans who are eliminated will be sent to an orphanage, but in reality, they'll end up in Li Ke's stomach!"
"It seems you did indeed sense something, which is why you defected tonight, betraying the organization!"
After a pause, a chilling smile curled at the corner of Kaigaku's mouth.
"Traitors must die!"
Sensing the chilling killing intent emanating from Kaigaku, Ichiro and Muichiro felt as if they were being watched by a tiger, their hair standing on end.
"Don't even think about hurting my brother, Muichiro! I'll hold him off, you get out of here!"
With a roar, Yuichiro gripped his wooden sword and slashed at Kaigaku's neck.
"First Form: Thunderclap Flash!"
Upon seeing this, Kaigaku's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"Sword techniques without the support of breathing techniques are meaningless!"
As Kaigaku finished speaking, Ichiro's tegu and shikigami were severed by Kaigaku in an instant.
Kaigaku did not kill Ichiro.
He killed Muichiro only because he needed another witness to prove that the two men had defected voluntarily.
No one is more suitable to be this witness than Ichiro, so Kaigaku will not kill Ichiro.
thump!
The sound of someone collapsing to the ground rang out, and blood seeped from the wound, staining the ground red with raindrops.
Upon seeing this, Muichiro's pupils contracted, and he gripped the wooden sword in his hand tightly.
"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!"
As Muichiro spoke angrily, a large number of misty illusions appeared on the wooden sword.
The fog illusion was so thick that it obscured Muichiro's figure, leaving him shrouded in it.
"This is?"
Kaigaku's eyes widened in shock, filled with disbelief.
Muichiro actually used an unknown breathing technique, and it was clearly a technique that Muichiro created himself!
Thinking of this, Kaigaku could no longer hide his jealousy, and his killing intent spread wildly in his heart!
"I'll kill you, I must kill you!"
I will never allow anyone to be more talented than me!
