Only now has the Sword Demon completely taken over Awaya Mugi's body. However, the Sword Demon is now feeling extremely annoyed. What's wrong with this human on the other side?
No matter how much power one exerts, the opponent can handle it with ease. Most importantly, the sword opposite has a strong restraining effect on it!
Chapter 32
No! I must kill this human in front of me and then destroy this sword!
This was what the Sword Demon was thinking! It's just a pity that Fang Yan on the other side thought the same thing!
At this moment, Fang Yan began to exert his true strength. The black energy was greatly restrained by the impact of Zi Yun, which made the Sword Demon on the other side feel that he had no way to use his strength.
In particular, Fang Yan's sword speed was significantly faster than before. In addition to blocking Awaya Mugi's attacks, he also swung his Autumn Horse from time to time, stabbing fiercely at Awaya Mugi's body.
The black aura surrounding Awaya Mugi was clearly being suppressed by Akihiro, and under Fang Yan's continuous sword strikes, Awaya Mugi actually began to be injured.
This left Sato Miwako and the others speechless. They hadn't been able to hurt Awaya Mugi even with gunfire before, but Fang Yan had managed to injure her with just his sword!
Could this be the legendary sword energy?
The discovery of a super expert hidden within the school was a huge relief for Sato Miwako and her friends. Fortunately, they still had a way to deal with it; otherwise, they might have had to seek help from the military.
The consequences of using weapons of mass destruction in schools would be enormous!
Perhaps Fang Yan sensed something unusual when Minagawa Akane died, which is why Fang Yan cooperated with him when he found him, and even took the initiative to ask to help solve the case.
Fang Yan held Qiu Li in his hand, constantly inflicting damage on Awaya Mai. This was hardly a gentle scratching; every move he made caused some harm to Awaya Mai. He could clearly feel that although Awaya Mai's aura had not diminished, the ominous aura on the knife was rapidly weakening.
In fact, if Fang Yan hadn't been unwilling to reveal his full strength and had only used Qiu Li in the fight, Awaya Mugi would probably have been killed by now.
While the two sides were fighting, Inspector Megure and Shinichi Kudo arrived late. Inspector Megure was alright; he had already seen the cat demon's corpse, so seeing this scene was still within his acceptable range.
But Shinichi Kudo was completely dumbfounded! He didn't have much doubt about the strength Fang Yan had shown. After all, there were indeed many powerful swordsmen in the world. Shinichi Kudo had also heard his father say that some swordsmen did indeed have superhuman strength.
He had seen some people possess this ability before, like Xiao Lan, who could kick and break a concrete block with a single kick—something that didn't seem to be something an ordinary human could possess...
As for the purple halo emanating from the sword in Fang Yan's hand, that's understandable. With today's advanced technology, it seems normal to add some flashy special effects to swords, right?
But what about that dark figure? Was Awaya Mugi on drugs? Or did he take some kind of special potion?
Yes, that's right. Even after witnessing Awaya Mugi's extraordinary abilities firsthand, Shinichi Kudo still doesn't believe that there are any special abilities in this world!
Even in special circumstances, those are the results of high technology, and this is the restraint of a detective!
"Inspector Megure, aren't you going to fire to support Fang Yan?" Shinichi Kudo asked Inspector Megure, seeing that Miwako Sato and the others were just watching from the sidelines.
Although Fang Yan seemed to be performing very well, his opponent seemed to be wearing special armor. Even when hit by the sword, it did not seem to break through Awaya Mugi's high-tech armor, which made Kudo Shinichi worry about Fang Yan.
If Fang Yan were to be hit by the opponent's attack, he would likely be in even greater danger.
Inspector Megure frowned, feeling a sense of helplessness. At this point, they needed to be able to hit Awaya Mugi, as the speed of the two was beyond their capabilities.
Even if they found a sniper to aim at Awaya Mugi, it would probably be difficult to do so. If Fang Yan were to be injured by accident, that would be a real problem.
Not long ago, he had received a call from the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, Odagiri, inquiring about how Fang Yan had been implicated in this murder case.
She also subtly told him that if this matter had nothing to do with Fang Yan, he shouldn't bother him.
Inspector Megure knew perfectly well that Fang Yan had a powerful background. They were too busy protecting a young master like him, yet he was now on the front lines, constantly in danger. Inspector Megure felt that his job was in jeopardy.
As for shooting to help, haha, he doesn't have that ability.
Seeing that Inspector Megure didn't react much, Shinichi Kudo became anxious. He kept scanning his surroundings, wanting to help Fang Yan deal with Mugi Awaya, since he could tell that Mugi Awaya was the murderer this time.
He didn't put in much effort to solve this case, but the culprit has appeared, and the police are having little trouble with Awaya Mugi. Now it's Shinichi Kudo's chance!
Unfortunately, poor Shinichi Kudo had no idea that this was an opponent he couldn't possibly face.
Chapter 33
At this moment, Fang Yan had no mind to care about the situation of Shinichi Kudo and the others. He was just silently consuming Mugi Awaya's energy. As the battle progressed, the sword demon seemed to have lost its energy source, and its energy was being continuously purified by Akihiro.
As the battle progressed, the Sword Demon lost at least half of his power.
"Is it okay if I overreacted a little?" Fang Yan asked Inspector Megure after stepping back a bit, sensing that Awaya Mugi was also a little weak.
"The other party is a heartless murderer. Fang Yan, please ensure your safety!" Inspector Megure said hurriedly.
These words made Shinichi Kudo frown, but he didn't say anything more. He knew that Fang Yan might attack some vital points next.
Just as Inspector Megure said, Mugi Awaya is indeed a ruthless murderer, and this case can basically be confirmed.
Although judging from Fang Yan's posture, it seems that he can also dismember the body, Fang Yan has a clear alibi, and the murder weapon should be the long sword in Awaya Mugi's hand.
However, Shinichi Kudo still felt that capturing Mugi Awaya alive would be the best outcome!
As his attacks were repeatedly neutralized by his opponent, and even the malevolent energy within him was purified by the opponent's sword, the sword demon possessing Awaya Mugi began to grow anxious.
At this moment, he had no intention of running away, at least not for the time being!
Moreover, he knew that the other party would not give him a chance to escape.
With all his might, Awaya Mugi gripped the long sword tightly with both hands and slashed vertically at Fang Yan's head, as if he were about to cut Fang Yan in two.
Inspector Megure and the others nearby tried to shout warnings, but unfortunately, at this point, no matter how much they shouted, it wouldn't make much difference. They could only pray that Fang Yan could dodge the attack. At this moment, it seemed that there was nothing they could do to help.
Faced with Awaya Mugi's attack, Fang Yan showed no panic whatsoever. His eyes became extremely serious as he calmly faced Awaya Mugi's powerful slash. Qiu Li cleverly blocked the attack in front of his forehead.
This scene terrified many onlookers. Awaya Mugi was executing a two-handed vertical strike, while Fang Yan was simply blocking with a single-handed horizontal block. Wasn't he playing with his life? Unless the difference in strength between the two was immense...
Otherwise, Awaya Mugi's slash would have been impossible to block.
However, an unbelievable scene unfolded: Qiu Li steadily blocked Awaya Mugi's attack, while Fang Yan's free left hand struck Awaya Mugi squarely in the chest, causing Awaya Mugi to stagger back two steps.
No one noticed anything amiss. Most of the people present focused their attention on Qiu Li in Fang Yan's hand. Fang Yan had actually blocked that powerful and heavy slash, and with one hand at that. Just how strong was this guy?
It's worth noting that behind Awaya Mugi, there was the body of a vice principal who had been cut in half at the waist!
Fang Yan didn't give the others much time to react. He thrust his Qiu Li sword at Awaya Mai's chest. When it encountered the black energy, Qiu Li paused noticeably. However, with a muffled groan from Fang Yan, the sword shone with a bright purple light. With a "whoosh," Qiu Li pierced into Awaya Mai's chest.
"This?" Shinichi Kudo stared at the scene in disbelief. Murder?
Although he knew that Awaya Mugi deserved to die, Shinichi Kudo's feelings were extremely complicated after witnessing Fang Yan kill Awaya Mugi with his own eyes.
He didn't say Fang Yan did anything wrong; he was just acting in self-defense. If he hadn't been strong enough, Fang Yan would have been killed by Awaya Mugi.
Today's events, however, dealt a heavy blow to Shinichi Kudo.
"Phew!" Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief. So what if he was killed? It's not a big deal. The important thing is that Fang Yan was unharmed, and the killer of the campus serial murders has been found.
But before Inspector Megure could relax for long, Mugi Awaya moved again, his long sword continuing to slash at Fang Yan's head.
At this moment, he was clearly prepared to perish together with Fang Yan.
This also sent chills down the spines of others who saw it.
"An ant trying to shake a tree!" Fang Yan snorted coldly once again in the face of the sword demon's strike. With Qiu Li entering his body, the sword demon's control over Awaya Mugi also dropped sharply. It could be said that the sword demon was at his last gasp, or even worse.
Fang Yan didn't parry, or even seem to have any intention of dodging. He continued to slap Awaya Mugi's chest with his left hand, sending him flying. Under these circumstances, the long sword could no longer harm Fang Yan.
Instead, it was dropped to the ground by Awaya Mugi.
Fang Yan didn't look at Awaya Mugi, but instead focused his gaze on the long sword that had fallen to the ground. He then pressed the Qiu Li sword against the long sword, and as a purple light flashed across the Qiu Li sword, the black aura on the black sword gradually disappeared.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for defeating the Sword Demon and gaining 342 points!"
The system notification sounded.
Chapter 34
300+ points? That means this is a slightly stronger evil spirit than Aki Tomoya!
Fang Yan didn't pay much attention to this. After all, Aki Tomoya was defeated by Fang Yan using his ultimate move, while Fang Yan only managed to defeat the Sword Demon with his relatively weak swordsmanship and Qiu Li's ability to counter ghosts.
Fang Yan hesitated, wondering whether he should go for the lottery now or save up a thousand and try for a bigger one.
As things stand, Fang Yan's strength is still too weak. He is eager to enrich his combat methods. It would be nice to have a legacy like that of Ximen Chuixue. Of course, a Taoist legacy is also something Fang Yan is thinking about.
Dongjun's legacy is good, and her strength is also great, but unfortunately, this is receiving her legacy, not her coming to my side!
"Fang Yan, are you alright?" Inspector Megure came to Fang Yan's side and asked anxiously.
Fang Yan shook his head slightly, then looked at the corpse of Awaya Mugi not far away. Even with the protection of the Sword Demon, he was still dead. This should be considered the first human Fang Yan had killed, right?
Although Awaya Mugi was completely controlled by the Sword Demon at that time, this was indeed the first one.
For some reason, Fang Yan didn't seem to have much emotion at this moment.
It seems that Awaya Mugi's life meant nothing to Fang Yan.
"Fang Yan, don't worry. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to deal with such a vicious criminal. Don't worry, this matter won't involve you!" Inspector Megure, a seasoned veteran, quickly assured Fang Yan.
Just kidding. Putting aside Fang Yan's background, the guy he slashed this time was also the murderer who brutally killed three people before! In a way, Fang Yan's actions could be considered self-defense.
Moreover, now that these kinds of demons and monsters have appeared, if we can improve our relationship with Fang Yan, we might be able to ask him for help in dealing with them in the future!
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Hearing Inspector Megure's words, Fang Yan felt relieved. It seemed that this old fox was quite useful after all.
No wonder he's someone who doesn't have much ability but can still reach a middle management position!
"By the way, I don't want too many people to know about this!" Fang Yan then added, since most of the people here were police officers and no students had witnessed him killing anyone.
Fang Yan did not want to expose the fact that he had killed someone for the time being.
It's never good if this gets out!
"Don't worry about that! Our police will keep the news under wraps!" Inspector Megure quickly said.
"That's good!" Fang Yan nodded slightly, shook the blood off the longsword in his hand, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, Fang Yan!" Inspector Megure called out to Fang Yan again as he was about to leave.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yan frowned slightly. Could it be that Inspector Megure was going to cause him trouble again? Thinking of this, Fang Yan's eyes narrowed, and his aura unconsciously increased.
This sudden change startled Inspector Megure, who quickly explained, "Fang Yan, please don't misunderstand. I just wanted to ask what exactly happened with Awaya Mugi earlier?"
He then ran to Fang Yan's ear and whispered in a voice that Shinichi Kudo couldn't hear, "We've seen that Awaya Mugi had some problems before, and it seems that there are some situations that we are unaware of. But we should still report the general situation to him!"
