Chapter 126 Subduing the Eyebrow-Painting Pill

Is it ineffective again?

Looking at Taiichi a few meters away, Huameiwan frowned. Although he had already prepared to attack, he suddenly felt a reluctance to move.

Am I scared?

With her eyes wide open, Huameiwan could hardly believe her current physical condition.

In his 16 years of life, he was accompanied only by death and killing.

In order to inherit the name of Garan's Eyebrow-Painting Pill, he closed off his heart and abandoned human emotions.

Whether he wins or loses, he believes in fighting if he can win and retreating if he can't. He has always adhered to this principle well.

But the fear, the subconscious fear, was something I felt for the first time.

"Is it a biological instinct? In other words..."

"Is the opponent's strength, or even his level of existence, far superior to mine?"

How could that be? Aren't we all human beings?

"Try again. If it still doesn't work, then I'll..."

Stop daydreaming, kid!

boom!

Taiyi grinned and shouted, and then a cluster of flower petals suddenly burst out from where he had been standing.

The next second, a cluster of flower petals burst out in front of Huameiwan's eyes, but immediately afterward, a long sword pierced out from inside, and the tip of the sword instantly reached his throat.

"What kind of witchcraft is this!"

Tilt your head back and throw a hook punch.

As he parried Taiyi's sword thrust, Huameiwan trembled violently, goosebumps spreading all over his body. This incomprehensible attack made him want to flee immediately.

"It's not sorcery." Taiyi chuckled, his grip on his wrist increased dramatically, and his entire right arm suddenly swelled up. Without flipping the sword, he slammed it down.

Bang!

White sand, mud, and gravel flew everywhere, creating a large pit between the two.

[Ninjutsu: Fire Infusion: Lightning Disc]

Hua Meiwan retreated rapidly, and the instant she touched the ground with one foot, she simultaneously twisted her waist and kicked out horizontally.

He then kicked all the splashing debris back, each time accompanied by a layer of flames.

"fight!"

Although Taiyi remained in a bow stance, he looked up and saw the attacks coming his way. He snorted coldly, then formed a hand seal with one hand. A violent sonic wave immediately spread outward from his mouth like a hurricane.

The flames were extinguished instantly, and all the rubble and dirt turned into dust. When Huameiwan saw this, her eyes twitched.

No need to think about anything anymore, let's go!

"Do you think you can leave? My mansion is not a place where you can come and go as you please?"

"If you can't withstand the following moves, you're dead!"

Taiyi tilted his head, exerted force with his feet, and instantly transformed into flower petals and disappeared. He then appeared in front of Huameiwan and casually waved his hand, but what appeared were four sword energies of four colors: red, blue, white, and brown.

Huameiwan stopped advancing and suddenly moved to the left, shrinking her body into a ball in mid-air to reduce the area vulnerable to attack.

But just as he dodged it, Taiyi immediately transformed into flower petals and disappeared, then reappeared in front of him with four more sword energies.

I dodge, but the sword energy hits me head-on; I dodge again, but the sword energy hits me head-on once more.

"He didn't mean to kill me, but was he... toying with me?!"

[Ninja Art: Fire Mage]

The anger rising from the bottom of his heart overshadowed all his fear, and at this moment, Huameiwan went completely berserk, his whole body bursting into colorful flames.

"Hahaha! That's wonderful! That's the posture, that's the flame, how beautiful!"

Taiyi raised his eyebrows high, his mouth stretched wider and wider, and he was in a state of extreme excitement.

Looking at the flames that contained five colors: red, white, blue, brown, and cyan, he felt extremely happy.

Just as I thought, just as I thought!

The body-refining techniques of Shiyin Village truly involve refining the Yang energy to comprehensively temper the body.

This kind of knowledge is a waste to leave in a village; I'd better carry it forward!

"Once it's confirmed, we can end it here."

"Eyebrow Pill, I must obtain all your...knowledge!"

Taiyi no longer held back and activated the "Shrinking Earth" effect again, directly arriving in front of Huameiwan.

Before the opponent could even make a move, relying on his own attributes—even without transformation, his absolute suppressive power was still more than 1000 points higher than the opponent's—he pierced through the flames with one hand and grabbed the opponent's neck in an instant.

Taiyi closed the distance between himself and the other person, their noses almost touching. Looking down at him, he grinned maliciously and whispered:

"Shh... keep it down."

Call ~

The flames vanished just like that. Huameiwan looked on in disbelief. No one had ever been able to withstand a fire mage's burning flames for more than three seconds!

But the man in front of me was not afraid of my flames at all. He not only forcibly dispelled them, but also instantly took control of me!

Breathing became difficult, and even though she gripped the other person's wrists with both hands, she still couldn't break free.

Huameiwan's face began to flush red, and the veins on her forehead bulged. Her bloodshot eyes stared intently at Taiyi.

"Don't resist, listen to me."

"Whether in terms of influence or strength, I far surpass that famous lord (village chief) who has been deceiving you all with illusions."

"Join me, and I guarantee you and your wife can live a normal, peaceful life."

"Furthermore, I can also heal her face."

"In the name of the strongest human being, and the title of the greatest warrior in the world, I assure you."

Her pupils contracted instantly, and Huameiwan, who had been holding Taiyi's hands, unconsciously released her grip.

The image of his wife, Ah Jie, and all the little moments they shared in the past flooded his mind.

My dear husband, I long for a peaceful and ordinary life to begin soon.

There's no need to always cover your face with your hair; I don't care about that.

Oh, is that how it is? Then I won't block it anymore, but don't get scared!

Are you really afraid of this kind of thing?

......

The fingers gradually loosened, and the arms slid down limply. Taiichi's arms also moved downwards as the other's legs bent, until Huameimaru knelt on the ground.

Yes, the other party is the greatest samurai in the land, a hatamoto with a stipend of 3000 koku. He would surely keep such a promise from such a noble person...

Seeing that Huameiwan had given up all resistance, Taiyi released his neck and then healed the finger marks he had left behind.

To subdue someone like Huameiwan, you have to use both fists and reason.

"Alright, don't be afraid. This is the first time I've formally taken on a retainer. On our first meeting, I'll give you a gift."

Taiyi stroked Huameiwan's hair, a slight smile curving his lips, while slowly channeling his own true energy into her body.

A little earlier in time, in Yoshiwara...

On the banks of the Black Tooth Canal, Daki was constantly dodging the long swords swung by the Demon Slayer Corps samurai opposite her.

"Ugh, so annoying! If it weren't for that devil Taiyi, I would have cut him into eight pieces already!"

Her teeth were grinding together, but apart from dodging, Daki really didn't dare to make a move.

On the contrary, the Demon Slayer Corps samurai on the other side, seeing the bikini-clad beauty in front of him being forced to retreat repeatedly by his own attacks, was further ignited by his own sense of justice.

"Damn evil spirit, it even preys on corpses, die!"

Damn it!

Upon hearing about eating corpses, Daki's eyes instantly bulged with blood vessels.

Looking at the swords that were about to pierce him, he inexplicably thought of the needle that Taiyi Qi had taken.

"That damned Taiyi! Not only did he humiliate me, but he also keeps inserting that thing into me!!!"

"This is infuriating..."

Bang!

The Demon Slayer Corps samurai in front of them suddenly turned into a cloud of blood mist, with severed limbs flying out in all directions.

Daki stood there, staring blankly at Akaza, who had appeared in front of her with his back to her and was slowly pulling his arm back to his side.

"An Upper Moon demon!"

"what?"

Akaza turned his head to the side, his eyes full of contempt, and continued, "Why can't you even deal with such a weak human?"

Are you really a ghost?

Looking again at the half-eaten corpse not far away, he turned around, his brows furrowing, and asked incredulously:

"Also, why do you want those things instead of eating all these living people? Do you have some kind of fetish?"

I......

Before Daki could speak, flesh began to writhe at the base of her neck. Then Gyutaro appeared, grabbed her head, and stared at Akaza with a sinister look, saying:

"Don't speak ill of my sister or question us. Why don't you go find that samurai named Taiichi?"

"Hmm? Do you know where he is?"

Akaza's lips curled into a slight smile as he watched Gyutaro and the other two demons with great interest.

“Look.” Gyutaro gestured toward the Ueyashiki area with his chin, then continued:

"Go over there, and look for the place with the plaque that says 'Number One Under Heaven' hanging at the entrance. That's where he lives."

"Haha, interesting."

Akaza looked the two demons over once more, then leaped into the air and disappeared into the night.
