Chapter 27

As Hyouka Sengoku dispatched an enemy, she looked around and realized that the other three enemies had already been taken care of by Aoba.

She saw that all three had been beheaded with a single slash, and after effortlessly killing the three, Aoba even had the time to leisurely watch Hyouka Sengoku finish off the last enemy.

Thus, the only one left in front of them was the leader of the Tsuda-gumi.

"You, you don't come any closer," the leader of the Tsuda-gumi, who had years of experience in the underworld, was now a bit frightened, his legs trembling involuntarily.

"Alright, this one is yours to deal with!" Aoba said, discarding the gun he had just taken and spoke to Hyouka Sengoku.

"Alright, I'll take care of it!" Hyouka Sengoku nodded and walked towards the leader of the Tsuda-gumi, clearly unable to suppress her desire to repeat the process of torture and killing.

Aoba, however, looked at the leader of the Tsuda-gumi, who was retreating in fear, with a meaningful glance, smiled without saying anything, but followed Hyouka Sengoku, maintaining a distance of only one or two steps behind her.

The leader of the Tsuda-gumi, as if scared out of his wits, kept retreating, even bumping into many things along the way.

Hyouka Sengoku watched the leader of the Tsuda-gumi like a cat playing with a mouse. She had never thought before today that this notorious leader in the area would be so frightened by her.

Thinking about how she would sever his limbs and watch him scream until he died, Hyouka Sengoku felt an uncontrollable excitement.

But what happened next was beyond her expectations.

The leader of the Tsuda-gumi, who she thought was already scared out of his wits, suddenly reached into the lampshade after bumping into a table lamp and pulled out a black pistol, pointing it at Hyouka Sengoku.

In that instant, cold sweat broke out on Hyouka Sengoku's body. She began to regret her overconfidence, completely forgetting who she was facing, thinking he would be as easy to deal with as an ordinary yakuza. She was too naive.

But at the same time, the thrill of facing life and death excited her even more. The feeling that she might die at any moment was almost irresistible.

"Who are you?" The leader of the Tsuda-gumi, perhaps feeling that everything was under control, did not rush to kill them but asked.

Clearly, he took them for assassins sent by a rival organization.

"It doesn't matter who we are; what matters is that we are here to kill you," Aoba said, stepping forward and patting Hyouka Sengoku's shoulder, looking at the leader of the Tsuda-gumi.

"Kill me? What a joke. How are you going to kill me now?" the leader of the Tsuda-gumi sneered.

"With a sword, of course," Aoba said with a smile.

"Let's see if your sword is faster than my gun," the leader of the Tsuda-gumi said, his finger moving to release the safety.

"Give me your sword for a moment," Aoba stepped forward, standing in front of Hyouka Sengoku, and asked.

Hyouka Sengoku hesitated slightly but still placed her sword in Aoba's hand.

"Fire, let's see if my sword is faster than your gun," Aoba said, waving the sword slightly.

However, the leader of the Tsuda-gumi, still hoping to get some information from them, hesitated.

"Are you not going to fire? Then I'll make my move," Aoba said, seeing that the leader of the Tsuda-gumi was not reacting, and took a step forward, walking leisurely towards him.

With the distance between them, it would take at most seven or eight steps for Aoba to reach the leader of the Tsuda-gumi.

The leader of the Tsuda-gumi, no longer hesitating, pulled the trigger, and a bullet shot towards Aoba.

In that instant, Aoba's eyes narrowed, and he slashed the air with his sword, producing a metallic clanging sound.

Aoba continued walking forward, but in front of him, a bullet split into two halves fell to the ground, making a slight bouncing sound.

The leader of the Tsuda-gumi looked at this scene in disbelief and, without any thought for information, continuously pulled the trigger, sending bullets towards Aoba.

Aoba, however, continued to walk leisurely, his sword continuously slashing, producing a series of metallic clanging sounds as bullets were split into two halves and fell to the ground. In a short time, the path Aoba walked was littered with split bullets.

When the leader of the Tsuda-gumi's gun could no longer fire, Aoba was already in front of him.

The leader of the Tsuda-gumi looked at Aoba in a daze, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if his entire worldview had been overturned.

But the truth was indeed so. The act of splitting bullets with a sword was something he had never even heard of, let alone seen.

"It seems my sword is a bit faster," Aoba said calmly, and then, in the leader of the Tsuda-gumi's dazed eyes, he slashed, a gush of blood shooting up, and a headless body fell to the ground.

Aoba twirled the sword in his hand, shaking off the blood droplets, and then turned to look at Hyouka Sengoku.

At this moment, Hyouka Sengoku was looking at Aoba as if he were a monster. Although Aoba's ability to make corpses disappear had shocked her, it was a means she could not understand, so after the shock, it was just that.

But the scene of splitting bullets with a sword was something she could understand! Because she could understand it, it was even more unbelievable.

What kind of strength was needed to split bullets with a sword? How was that possible?

"Surprised?" Aoba asked, looking at Hyouka Sengoku.

"Yes," Hyouka Sengoku admitted frankly.

"You need to understand that the world is vast and full of many incredible things. If you don't learn to restrain yourself and indulge in your desires, you could run into trouble at any time," Aoba said, slowly walking towards Hyouka Sengoku.

"I understand, I will be more careful," Hyouka Sengoku nodded.

"No, you still don't understand! The things that can bring you trouble are not just incredible powers. Have you thought about it? If I hadn't been here, would you have been able to resist his gun?" Aoba walked to Hyouka Sengoku's side, returning the sword to her as he spoke.

Hyouka Sengoku pursed her lips and said nothing.

"I had already noticed his hidden gun long ago, but I didn't tell you, hoping you would realize this! The world is full of dangers. You might be feeling smug one moment, but the next, you could die unexpectedly! Before you have absolute power, if you don't change your habit of torturing and killing, you will easily give your opponents a chance to turn the tables! The world is not so naive that you can act without restraint," Aoba said, walking towards the door and lecturing Hyouka Sengoku.

"Hai, I understand, thank you for your guidance," Hyouka Sengoku said, bowing her head in gratitude behind Aoba, without any hint of dissatisfaction.
