The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1096: Since he is called the Sword Saint, then... he truly deserves the title!

The ship has been split open?

No, that’s not right!

It was cleaved in two!

After witnessing the scene on the ocean, Hanakaiin Haru, Sagaraso, the middle-aged men from the Hanakaiin Family observing from afar, and the group led by Hui Lixiang, all of them were dumbstruck where they stood.

Then, a thought simultaneously arose in the minds of these people—

Sinking a battleship with a single strike!

The sword of the ’Sword Saint’ was rumored to be invincible.

Be it castles, fortresses, or demonically possessed warships, all could be sliced in one stroke.

Now!

They had finally seen it with their own eyes.

"Is that, is that really the Sword Saint?!"

Yuli exclaimed in astonishment.

Kaoru looked at the towering figure on the distant sea with an unusual gaze.

It was pure admiration for a powerful being.

"The Sword Saint?"

Kaoru murmured to herself.

As a member of the ’Inside World,’ Kaoru naturally understood what those two words meant.

Similarly, she understood clearly what the existence of such a being in this era signified.

It was a true overlooking of all living beings!

It was the misfortune of many fighters and swordsmen.

But also, their fortune.

They would be utterly suppressed.

Yet they would be able to witness a world different from all others.

It truly was...

Wonderful!

Kaoru took a deep breath, her eyes igniting with endless fighting spirit.

She, wanted to challenge Jason!

Betting the title of ’Fighter.’

In contrast to her companion’s exclamations and overflowing will to fight, Hui Lixiang was calm.

Exhale!

She took a deep drag on her cigarette, then exhaled heavily.

Her face bore a look of expected disillusionment.

Her sister was always this peculiar.

Somehow attracting all sorts of odd and incredibly powerful individuals around her.

At first, she could accept it.

But later on?

She had to escape it.

Even having to resort to romance to numb herself.

Because it was just too crushing.

The more one learns about the ’Inside World,’ the more disheartening it is.

Former masters, fighters, and swordsmen had already numbed Hui Lixiang, and now a ’Sword Saint’ appears?

Hui Lixiang’s numbed heart could no longer stir any waves.

She, was used to it.

After blowing another smoke ring, Hui Lixiang turned off her radio.

"Let’s go."

"There’s nothing more to see."

Hui Lixiang said as such.

Yuli, led by Hui Lixiang, and Kaoru, didn’t object; their business involved more than just what was before their eyes.

Both immediately nodded, and the next moment, the hidden van merged onto the road, swiftly disappearing from sight.

Unlike the trio of Hui Lixiang, the middle-aged man from the Hanakaiin Family completely lost his composure.

"How is this possible?"

"How could it really be the ’Sword Saint’?"

"This is impossible!"

Faced with reality, the middle-aged man roared, leaning on the windowsill, like a defeated dog.

Even till now, he couldn’t grasp why a ’Sword Saint’ would appear beside Hanakaiin Haru.

And Jason!

He was clearly just an Exorcist who had been banished and hunted, so how did he suddenly become the ’Sword Saint’?

With such strength, how could he possibly have been banished and hunted?

Those people from the outside islands weren’t fools, right?

Could it be...

This was all a trap?

A trap set by the outsiders against the Hanakaiin Family?

And ’Tongshou Temple’ too!

That old Monk must also be involved, otherwise, Jason would not have such formidable strength, perhaps it was that old scoundrel playing tricks.

Yes!

It must be so!

This is an important piece of intelligence!

I must report this!

I absolutely must report this!

With that thought, the middle-aged man turned to leave the place.

His mind may have been shaken by the appearance of the ’Sword Saint,’ but his meager rationale was telling him not to stay any longer.

If he stayed, once Hanakaiin Haru came to his senses, his fate would not be good.

So, he had to leave at once.

Of course, he wasn’t fleeing.

He was going to report about significant information to the Family Head.

However, the moment the middle-aged man turned, he was startled into immobility.

A man dressed in a black suit, wearing a white mask, stood in front of the door.

Only the eyes were cut out of the mask; the rest was a plain white surface.

Such attire was all too familiar to the middle-aged man of the Hanakaiin Family.

It was the uniform of the subordinates of ’The King of Fighters Grand Tournament’ organizers.

For this, the middle-aged man held contempt.

He believed it was all ’posturing.’

As a member of one of the four great Onmyoji families, the Hanakaiin Family, he certainly had the standing to judge so.

It was the pride of being part of the Hanakaiin clan.

Now?

No exception.

"Move aside!"

The middle-aged man of the Hanakaiin Family said coldly.

He had no time to argue about why the other party had barged into his room without his permission.

Once he reported to the Family Head?

He would certainly give the other party a good lesson.

At the very least, breaking their limbs.

Humming coldly, the middle-aged man from the Hanakaiin Family walked forward. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Unlike before, the steward-like figure did not nervously step aside as usual but continued to stand still.

Immediately, the middle-aged man of the Hanakaiin Family became vigilant.

He watched the masked man in the suit with a wary eye.

His hand quietly reached for the Talisman Paper in his pocket.

But the moment his fingers touched the Talisman Paper—

Pfft!

A dagger had penetrated his throat just like that.

"Argh!"

The middle-aged man from the Hanakaiin Family looked in disbelief at the dagger in his throat, then his gaze towards the masked man in the black suit changed.
