Chapter 69 - Demon Sword Maiden (Part 2)

“Although she’s a female ninja, I can’t be fooled by her tender appearance! Her competence’s equal to Akira. Moreover, she could have more strange tricks up her sleeve!” That was what Lily reminded herself. 

The deep moonlight shone over the yard, rising a silver, faint mist. Steam arose from the murmuring hot spring not far from it. The courtyard was beautiful and silent, but now, it was about to become a battle arena between two female martial art practitioners. 

“Hmph, if those guys weren’t useless, I wouldn’t want to attack a woman,” Shiu looked down at Lily from her height. 

“Well, you’re talking as if you’re not a woman. As you’ve ordered your henchmen to do such operations, even if your hands are clean, your soul is already contaminated!” Lily snapped back. 

“Stop talking nonsense! Although it’s a pity I have to take your life, this mission is very important to me! You should cooperate so as you don’t need to suffer!” Shiu suddenly set her position, her hands moving as fast as a shadow. 

"Swish!”

She threw three shurikens at the same time. 

As the three shurikens were aiming at Lily, it wasn’t easy to dodge. 

Lily sent her spirit power to the sleeves of her kimono. That was how she could keep the large kimono’s sleeves flexible and extremely tough. Now they were unbreakable! 

Lily’s red sleeves flung like a dancer. “Swish!” She got rid of the three shurikens. 

“Demon fury?!” Shiu saw the red energy from Lily, which made her startled. “This is not some common Demon fury… You, your competence is surely not of a middle-class samurai. You, who are you after all?” 

“I myself also want to know that! But at least, I don’t like meaningless killing. Especially, I don’t want to kill women. You and I don’t have any grudge against each other. Why should we kill each other for a little commission?” Lily’s eyes turned cold. The Seiwa Tamashi shielded in front of her, releasing beams of sharp light. 

“You don’t understand! The samurais have their principle. And we ninjas have our ninja’s belief! When we receive the mission, we will not bring our affections or personal resentment while taking the mission, whether it’s evil or not! It’s a ninja’s belief!”

“Clang!” Silver light flashed. Shiu drew her straight sword. 

Her slender but vigorous thighs flexed then jumped really high like a swallow rolling in the sky.  

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!” Three other shurikens came. 

Lily flipped her sleeves, dodging and deviating the shurikens. In this moment, Shiu stepped in the void, creating a bursting mass of air like a mist. From the sky, she borrowed the force and plunged toward Lily. 

Lily had almost been unable to defend this. What kind of trick did she use to borrow force in midair? 

"Clang——!"

Lily’s Seiwa Tamashi and Shiu’s straight sword, Shirakawa Buta, clashed. In the dark night, they sparked dazzling red and white light. 

Spirit power shot from this impact! 

Shiu used the coiling force to roll backward, getting away from Lily’s attack range. Then, she dashed to one side. 

Lily chased after her. 

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" Shiu continuously threw bunches of shurikens, which came in a set of three shurikens each. 

Lily set her sword vertically to shield. Changing her footstep to chase after Shiu, she also dodged the shurikens. However, her pace wasn’t slower than the other. 

Lily’s pace had astonished Shiu. She turned around to face Lily behind her, slashing her sword. 

This time, Lily was prepared. She wielded the Seiwa Tamashi to parry. 

"Clang!” Light flashed. The ground shook.  

Shiu was blown backward. Luckily, she stepped in the void and jumped once, not to let her body bump into a tree. Then, she spun, landing on a pine tree’s branch. 

“That Penetration Force was so powerful!” Shiu was astonished. The Shirakawa Buta in her hand was still vibrating, her arm numb. Was it really true that big-breasted women always had strong competence? She put her hand on her chest to self-assess her breasts. They were normal, neither big nor small.  

However, while she was studying Lily, she saw Lily wield her sword. 

While being skeptical, she saw the air turning into waves of red light, flying fast toward her. 

"What!" Shiu was frightened. It was the sword wave! 

She hurried to jump aside. The sword wave immediately cut off the big branch then continued to fly up into the night sky. 

As Shiu was about to land, she was surprised to find that Lily was dashing toward her. The sharp light of the Seiwa Tamashi twinkled in her hands. 

Shiu didn’t dare to parry Lily’s attack anymore. Reluctantly, she landed then hastily leaned aside to dodge Lily’s slash. 

Lily didn’t want to let Shiu escape. Her left hand let go of the sword’s handle and drew the scabbard from her waist. 

"Pat!" She whipped Shiu’s bottom. 

“Argh!” Shiu felt a sharp twinge at her bottom. She screamed then flew away. She fell on the ground rolling several times before she could stop. 

Panting, she covered her butt and got up. She was both enraged and embarrassed. “You, how could you use the scabbard! That’s a long sword, how could you hold it with one hand!”

Lily didn’t attack the normal way. Shiu got hit and lost her face at the same time. 

Lily threw the scabbard aside. “Still want to fight?”

“You, don’t you dare look down on ninjas! Hmph, you big-breasted samurai, do you think a battle between ninjas and samurais is merely about swordsmanship and strength?!” Shiu shrieked angrily. 

Shiu unfolded her five fingers, revealing several small, purple balls. 

“Swoosh!” She threw them toward Lily. Since the balls didn’t fly fast, Lily dodged them easily. 

However, after they fell around Lily, they exploded, creating purple mist.  “Boom! Boom!” 

Taking in bits of that mist, Lily suddenly felt hot. Her breathing became short and her legs felt unstable. 

Lily hurriedly ran out of the area of that mist. Blushing, she covered her nose, asking. “What, what is that?!”

Shiu smirked coldly. “Hmph, it’s the secret ninjutsu of the Mido Clan from Wind Demon Clan. Why would I tell you! When a woman takes in the purple mist, it will be like she has inhaled something ten times stronger than aphrodisiac. She will turn jello and dizzy, craving to be taken care of or conquered. There’s no way to stop it. She will lose her fighting strength and the only option left is to let the opponent tie her hands!”

"Ah. . ." Lily was startled. How could they have such an evil technique! But did the other just tell everything again? 

“Hmph!” Shiu looked at Lily’s troubled posture, smiling contentedly. “Let alone a female samurai like you, even if I carelessly inhale this mist, I will also turn into that unbearable obscene appearance!”

“Eh?” Lily was bewildered. “So you don’t have an antidote?”

“Hmph, you stupid woman, this is a secret ninjutsu that has been passed through many generations. How could you get the antidote that easily! Stop talking nonsense. Just taking in a bit and you’re already like this. Your persistence is nothing special. It’s a little cunning to use this trick to deal with a woman, but I have to win at any cost!”

Shiu took out more purple balls, throwing them toward Lily. 

She didn’t aim at Lily but her surrounding area. Then, no matter where Lily came to dodge, it would be within the mist’s coverage. 

“Despicable!” Lily could only choose a random direction. However, she couldn’t avoid the effect when the ball exploded. Even while holding her breath, she still took in bits of mist. 

“Ngh…” Even Lily’s breathing had turned self-conscious. 

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Shiu anchored her hands at her waist, laughing. “You brainless big-breasted samurai. Is this your level? Just inhale the mist several times more and you can’t move anymore!” 

Then, Shiu hopped on a rock. Her hand flipped and showed more purple balls. 

“In that case, I must end this battle soon!” Lily’s eyes turned solemn. Her spirit power caused her black hair to flutter around her body. Although she felt hotter and her face blushing, her eyes turned more beautiful and sharper, just like the twinkling stars in the velvet night sky emitting red halos.
