Chapter 33

"Swish..."

Amidst the sound of the blade sliding out of its sheath, Kuchiki Raiki slowly drew his katana.

"Raiki?" Arakawa Kibito voiced out in surprise.

"What are you planning to do?!" Nishikata questioned Kuchiki Raiki.

The surrounding samurais exchanged glances, looking at each other in confusion.

Even Fang Li, seeing Kuchiki Raiki's actions, was momentarily at a loss, not knowing what this guy was up to, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Ignoring the reactions of the people around him, Kuchiki Raiki stepped forward, pointing the blade in his hand at Fang Li, his eyes becoming sharp.

"Do you want to save these two Kabane-ri?"

Kuchiki Raiki's words made Fang Li's brows furrow even deeper, but he still answered truthfully.

"At the very least, I won't let these two die at your hands."

Whether it was Mumei or Nishikata, they had only known Fang Li for less than an hour.

This short period of time was barely enough for them to get acquainted.

Logically, Fang Li had no reason to care about Mumei and Nishikata. If he just obediently followed the samurais' orders, he could return to the Main God Space safely with rich rewards.

However, Fang Li had to get involved in this matter.

Fang Li, who was indifferent to death, naturally did not feel any sympathy and thus did not intend to save the innocent Mumei and Nishikata.

But Fang Li had to repay a favor to Mumei and Nishikata.

Without Mumei, it would have been questionable whether Fang Li could have reached the garage and boarded the Koutetsujou, let alone the fact that Mumei later covered for Fang Li, allowing him to slaughter the Kabane army and gain significant rewards.

Without Nishikata, Fang Li would have been bitten and turned into a monster when he was caught by the Kabane, and he might have been overwhelmed and killed by the incoming Kabane army.

To put it bluntly, Fang Li's survival and the acquisition of over 20,000 exchange points, as well as the completion of the main mission, were all thanks to Mumei and Nishikata.

This favor, Fang Li had to repay.

"Besides, I already promised that little girl that I would take care of the rest."

Fang Li looked at Kuchiki Raiki and spoke, word by word.

"So, I will protect these two."

The entire scene suddenly fell silent.

Nishikata's gaze towards Fang Li had completely changed.

It was filled with gratitude.

Kuchiki Raiki's expression, however, remained unchanged from the beginning. Upon hearing Fang Li's words, his gaze became even sharper.

"If that's the case, you'll have to get past me first."

Saying this, Kuchiki Raiki gripped the hilt of his katana with both hands, his sharp gaze piercing Fang Li like an arrow.

"You still owe me a match."

Hearing this, Fang Li finally understood what Kuchiki Raiki intended to do.

"Indeed, a simple and brutal method." Fang Li chuckled, his hand reaching behind him to grip the dagger. "What if I win?"

"I won't interfere with this matter anymore." Kuchiki Raiki said coldly. "As for whether you can convince the others, that's not my concern."

"Raiki?" Arakawa Kibito was taken aback.

"Raiki!" The samurais exclaimed in shock.

To this, Kuchiki Raiki only gave the samurais one sentence.

"Don't interfere. This is between him and me. After the match, you can do as you please, but before that, no one is to intervene!"

Everyone was speechless.

At the same time, the somewhat familiar system prompt arrived late.

"Agent 11273 has triggered a B-class side mission: The Long-Awaited Match."

"Mission Content: Duel with the character Kuchiki Raiki."

"Victory Reward: 5000 exchange points."

"Failure Penalty: None."

"Note: In the副本 world, only the failure of the main mission will result in punishment. The failure of side missions will not be penalized, but depending on the situation, the failure of the mission will also trigger the actions of the characters."

"Reminder to the Main God Messenger: If you fail this mission, you will be considered an enemy by the character Kuchiki Raiki and will be shot along with the characters Mumei and Nishikata."

The prompt from the space made Fang Li's eyes also become sharp.

"Wait!" Nishikata couldn't help but step forward and shouted at Fang Li, "This has nothing to do with you. You don't need to go this far for us!"

"Does it matter?" Fang Li smiled ambiguously, shook his head, and said, "Whether it matters or not is not up to you, but up to me."

With that, Fang Li didn't give Nishikata a chance to speak and stepped forward, coming to stand in front of Kuchiki Raiki.

Just like the confrontation on the stage three days ago.

Fang Li and Kuchiki Raiki's gazes met, sparking a fierce intensity that had not been present before.

"Let me remind you," Kuchiki Raiki said coldly. "This time, even if you block with your hand, I won't stop."

"Then let me remind you," Fang Li silently drew his dagger, looked up, and met Kuchiki Raiki's gaze. "This time, I won't hold back either."

The moment these words were spoken, Fang Li's eyes suddenly turned into icy blue magic eyes.

Deadly Magic Eyes! Activate!

"You...?!" Kuchiki Raiki's eyes widened in shock. "Your eyes..."

Fang Li's lips curled slightly, matching the icy blue magic eyes, giving him an extremely sinister appearance.

"You'd better be careful. These eyes can definitely take your life!"

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Li was already in motion.

"Snap——!"

With a crisp sound, Fang Li suddenly stepped forward, his figure instantly dashing out like a blurred shadow, charging straight at Kuchiki Raiki.

His speed was naturally much faster than the previous match.

After all, compared to the last time, Fang Li had gained a skill, increasing both his movement speed and attack speed.

Kuchiki Raiki, who was unaware of this, had another thought upon seeing this scene.

"He really did hide his strength!"

Thinking this, Kuchiki Raiki suddenly raised his katana, not retreating but advancing, also stepping forward and dashing out to meet Fang Li.

Compared to Fang Li, Kuchiki Raiki's speed was not inferior.

Thus, the charge of both sides instantly closed the short distance of a few meters.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Li and Kuchiki Raiki met.

"Roar——!"

With a shout, the sharp dagger and the sharp katana simultaneously cut through the air.
