Chapter 36.63 Xue Qing and Confrontation
I found Juncheng’s right hand, and then I planned to look for Xun.
I had sensed Xun’s aura just now.
But just as I was about to go find Xun, Xun’s voice appeared in my mind.
There were only two sentences in total.
“Don’t come looking for me.”
Before I could ask, the second sentence followed.
“Protect my soul.”
I remembered Xun turning into a hair monster that day. Back then, ‘she’ had taken Xun’s soul from me.
Perhaps the same situation had happened again.
This time, she couldn’t succeed.
Xun told me not to look for her, so I would not look for her for now.
What’s next?
I already had the right hand I wanted the most, but I was also a little interested in other parts.
I could also go collect the other parts.
Or rather
I remembered the old man I met earlier. He said that the ghost was also in this city.
Although I no longer hated it and had let go of my obsession with it, I still had to settle things.
So, I would get back to my old business.
I would clean up the ghosts in this city until it appeared.
“Meow! Where are you going, meow? Don’t leave Xiao Yu behind, meow~”
I had stripped off the clothes the cat-eared girl was wearing, and she wasn’t a maid anymore.
So, she had simply turned back into a cat and was following me.
I thought about it and asked her.
“Why are you following me?”
“Meow, meow, this place is too dangerous, meow. I think it’s safer to stay by your side.”
Like this, it was casual.
Seeing that I didn’t refuse, the cat wagged its tail happily.
I looked at it. Because my walking speed was too fast, it had to trot to keep up with me. I stopped and thought for a moment, then squatted down and extended my hand to her, saying,
“Do you want to come up?”
“C-Can I, meow?”
“Yeah.”

Seeing me nod, the little cat no longer hesitated. It climbed up my arm to my shoulder, curled up its body, and leaned against me.
It was soft and fluffy, very comfortable.
“What’s your name?”
“Meow~ Xiao Yu, my name is Xiao Yu, meow~”
“Mm, Xiao Mi.”
No! My name is Xiao Yu!
“Meow~~~”
I can’t remember it. Whatever.
Well then, first, I’ll find and deal with the ghosts hiding nearby one by one.
Just then, suddenly, not far ahead, a vast, cold aura, and mixed killing intent emerged.
It was ghosts, a group of ghosts.
Ghosts are cunning creatures, living in all sorts of dark corners, clapping and laughing at others’ misfortune, twisted and ugly creatures.
Only Xun lived openly.
She was different from them; Xun was the best ghost in the world.
Even if they were willing to possess humans and create murderers, they wouldn’t easily reveal their true forms.
A disorganized mob.
Why were they gathered together?
This is a good opportunity.
I used Oniification and accelerated towards the source of the ominous energy.
Before arriving, I saw a light that pierced the sky, cutting from top to bottom.
A single blade had killed many ghosts, and the killing intent of the other ghosts was directed at her.
Friend?
No, the person her blade finally pointed at was…
It was Zi’ai.
Enemy.
Doubts surfaced in my mind, but now was not the time to ponder them.
Classifying her as an enemy, I reacted immediately.

I drew my sword, placed the little cat on my shoulder on the ground, pushed off the ground, accelerated, and initiated a sword strike.
It was heavy.
Even though I had been Oniified, I used all my strength to block this blow.
“Xue Qing!”
Teacher Lily was also here. Her legs were gone.
Did this nun do this?
Unforgivable.
I’ll punish you for Juncheng.
“How many people have you killed? So many…”
“Noisy. I’ll kill you.”
The nun was fast. She blocked my attack with her greatsword held horizontally in front of her, not retreating an inch.
A fleeting intuition prompted me to immediately follow up with a spinning kick, kicking her greatsword and forcing her back.
If I hadn’t done that, I would have been cut in half.
This nun is so strong.
“You’re here just in time. If it weren’t for you, all three of us would have died here. By the way, why are you wearing a maid outfit?”
“My clothes are gone.”
“I see. That’s very cute. Juncheng would definitely love it if he saw it.”
But that nun was staring at us, so I had to be vigilant.
“It’s not appropriate to talk about this now. We’ll have plenty of time to chat later. Xue Qing, we’ll leave this to you. We’re taking off.”
“Eh? Are we leaving?”
Teacher Lily looked energetic, which was good.
Losing her legs didn’t seem to bother her.
I wanted to hug her.
“Nonsense, of course we’re leaving. We can’t help anything by staying here. On the contrary, we’d only be a burden to Xue Qing, forcing her to exert more effort to protect us.”
But…
“Alright, stop being so wishy-washy. We have things to do too, kiddo. Let’s get out of here.”
“You’ve completely treated me like a porter.”
This is a good thing.
She must have had something she needed to do.
Helping Zi’ai is not wrong; she can be completely trusted, just like Juncheng.
“Xue Qing, stay alive.”
“Mm.”
I will live.
You take care too.
We have to see each other again.
“Xue Qing…”
“Teacher Lily, you’re very beautiful right now too.”
“Huh? Um, no, thank you. Thank you.”
I nodded and got into a fighting stance.

The three of them slowly retreated, then turned and left.
The nun did not interfere throughout the entire process, as if she had been disconnected.
The other ghosts were wary of us and didn’t dare to attack, but they also didn’t dare to escape, only hiding in various places to watch us.
After a while, the nun sighed and said,
“You have a soul as pure as mine, yet why have you chosen to kill?”
“It’s none of your business.”
No matter what, I will absolve your sins and bring back the three who escaped.
“You’ll have to get past me first.”
First strike.
Slash left, slash right, slash up left, slash up right, and finally, a thrust.
All missed.
The nun, wielding a greatsword, spun lightly in mid-air, and her greatsword cleaved down from above my head.
Block.
Light exploded.
So heavy.
The greatsword continued its downward arc. As it reached my side, I continued to block.
I was directly sent flying by the sword, like a home run!
I crashed into the wall of the opposite building, breaking through the wall and flying into the building.
“It seems like I’m stronger in terms of weight class.”
I stood up and dusted myself off.
“It’s too early.”
I’ve met many people stronger than me.
Ji Lianbing is one.
But it’s better to be faster than her.
Strengthening speed, I might not be able to cut through, but at least I should be able to leave a wound.
Aerial slash,镰鼬, three consecutive attacks.
Caught up to the previous镰鼬, within cutting range.
Draw and slash.
Cut water with a draw, a waist cut.
“Very fast, but there is nothing faster than light.”
A flash of light appeared before my eyes.
I couldn’t see it.
My body was injured, my thigh was bleeding, not severely, but it slightly affected my movement.
Her speed is also faster than mine.
But I still have technique. I’ll catch her here.
Oniification, perfect dismemberment.
Instant Nine Strikes.
During the time called ‘instant’, while I was attacking, I was counterattacked.
All my blades were in place, but I couldn’t sever any part of her body. I only managed to cut her shoulder.
And I was cut in the abdomen.
A large amount of blood flowed from the corner of my mouth.
I was the one who attacked, but my injuries were more severe.
Automatic counter? Or was it predicted?
Late by first, wins by arrival?
So strong.
This is the first time I’ve encountered something like this.
I have to admit, she is stronger now.
