Chapter 107: Underworld Sword Technique
In Ueno Park in the early morning, only fishermen, dog walkers and people doing morning exercises like the two could be seen.
Most of them are elderly people who have nothing to do after retirement.
Since Yi Xing comes to this lake every day to practice swordsmanship, some of the tourists who often appear nearby are already very familiar with him. There are even people who come to watch him practice swordsmanship every day, enjoying it because of the excellent viewing experience.
Yoshiyuki only brought Erina with him on his first visit to the park. Later, she refused to join them because she was too lazy to exercise.
Therefore, after seeing him bring Xiaoji with him, the onlookers all made gossips that made Yoshiyuki a little irritated.
"Why didn't the young man practicing swords come alone today?"
"What a cute girl, and she carries a real knife!"
"Who is that? His girlfriend? She looks a bit young."
"By the way, I remember that he brought another girl here before."
"Is this happening?"
"That's her."
"No, no, that's not right. That one has white hair and is not that young."
Yoshiyuki frowned.
Xiaoji naturally heard this.
Her expression didn't change at all. She just looked around, quickly wrote a sentence, and raised her notebook.
[Dad, do you know these people? 】
"There is no communication." He shook his head and said: "Don't pay attention to their gossip, they are just watching the fun. Come on, Xiaoji. The warm-up ends here. Draw your sword."
Demon Sword Girl nodded.
Then, he pulled out the demon knife.
The moment it was unsheathed, a rich demonic aura erupted.
The blade of that sword is as exquisite as the scabbard.
The surface of the blade is engraved with fine scarlet textures, which resembles the flower of the other side, and also resembles some kind of spell seal.
"...What a beautiful knife." Yi Xing looked at it and couldn't help but admire it.
However, what amazed him even more was yet to come.
Xiaoji's strength perfectly met his expectations, and was even stronger than Yoshiyuki imagined.
Her sword skills are extremely exquisite, and her strength and speed are not inferior to Yi Xing's.
Moreover, her age advantage also resulted in Demon Sword Princess having extremely rich combat experience. Yoshiyuki soon discovered that even with full concentration, it was difficult to parry Xiao Ji's attack.
Although the two of them did not use powerful moves in order to avoid hurting each other, Yoshiyuki could feel that if this was an actual battle, the unflinching Xiao Ji might have killed him long ago.
The movements of the two people gradually became so fast that ordinary people could hardly see it. As a result, the initial cheers from the spectators were interrupted one after another as if they were being choked in their throats.
They seemed to have forgotten what they originally wanted to say, and could only hold their breath and concentrate, trying to capture their movements with the naked eye and see clearly the two people's moves.
It wasn't until Yi Xing was exhausted and announced that the competition was over that they finally let out excited cheers.
These spectators have always annoyed Yi Xing - but this is a public place, and he can't stop people from watching.
Unless you are practicing swordplay in a completely quiet place, any passerby who sees such a fierce battle scene will easily take a second look.
"Huh... I haven't practiced so freely for a long time." Yoshiyuki panted and wiped his sweat. Looking at Xiaoji who didn't sweat and didn't seem to feel tired at all, he couldn't help but feel proud: "Xiaoji, you are really So powerful! Do those sword skills just have names?"
Xiao Ji nodded and held up the notebook.
【Underworld Sword Technique】
"That's it." Yi Xing nodded and praised: "It's very artistic. Does it mean that this sword technique uses the power of the underworld?"
【no. This swordsmanship was named after my mother. She said that my swordsmanship is so fierce that I can quickly send people to hell. That’s why it’s called this. 】
Ah this!
Yi Xing suddenly felt that it made sense.
Afterwards, I complained in my heart that the eldest lady's brain circuit was indeed as strange as ever.
The reason why Ji-chan is so powerful and why Yoshiyuki is so happy actually has something to do with finding a new master.
Although that person was his daughter and could not really become a disciple, the help she could provide was definitely no less than that of He Hong.
No matter in terms of strength or experience, Xiaoji is a perfect teacher.
After Yoshiyuki asked Xiaoji to teach him swordsmanship, Demon Sword Girl nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Afterwards, he also raised his notebook, which contained such words that surprised Yi Xing and made him feel warm in his heart.
[Many of my fighting skills were taught by my father. Xiao Ji will teach her father again. 】
"Xiaoji..." Yoshiyuki said softly, unable to hold back his tears, he hugged her.
However, he soon realized that many people were watching here, and he quickly let go.
Gossip can be very scary.
He didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
On the way home, Yoshiyuki bought Xiaoji a chiffon cake to eat.
Because the time was perfect, the cake had just come out of the oven and was still warm. It is the most delicious and creamy state.
And this also successfully woke up the eldest lady who was lying in bed.
At first, Yoshiyuki refused to get up no matter how he called her, but when he shook the bag containing the chiffon cake over her head, Erina suddenly woke up.
She seemed to be led by the fragrance, her eyes glowed, and she got up instantly.
According to Yoshiyuki's experience, this alone can only wake up the eldest lady, but it is not enough to make her energetic. Still yawning profusely.
But the sweet chiffon cake paired with the sweet Xiao Ji is the best.
Erina hugged Hime with her arms around the dumplings, ate a bite of cake, and rubbed the little demon sword. It was really refreshing, and she suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic.
After the meal, she even threw Xiaoji down on the sofa, held her in her arms and had a good time. Xiaoji didn't resist at all, but looked happy because of her mother's embrace.
While Yoshiyuki was busy packing the prepared lunch boxes, he heard a particularly concerned LINE notification tone from the eldest lady’s cell phone.
"Who is it, uncle or aunt?"
"Yes. It's my dad." Erina looked at the screen and said with a smile: "It's nothing special. It just means that the blessings I made some time ago were sold out."
This blessing noodle was made a few days before Erina came to Tokyo.
Every year on the days of the spring and autumn equinoxes, Erina casts a spell on a special Noh mask that she has made in advance before it is completed.
This blessing noodle, like all the nōmen created by Erina, has the appearance of an evil spirit.
Although it looks ominous, it can ward off evil spirits, pray for blessings, and protect the family within a two-year validity period. It can also be used in major ceremonies.
Its miraculous effect, coupled with the rarity of only two being produced every year, has led to many prominent families snapping up the products, and the prices at auctions have been extremely high.
"How much did it cost?" Yi Xing asked while guessing in his heart.
"Two hundred and thirty million."
