Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

Chapter 281 Perfect but boring

Otsutsuki's legs were slightly bent, with Murasame pressed against one of his hips. He leaned forward slightly, ready to launch himself with all his strength at any time.

The second cursed bullet brushed past his shoulder and exploded into the building beside him. The bright light of the explosion illuminated the faces of both of them for a moment.

Yu Gong's face was calm as he looked down at the Stone Ryuu below.

The other person's hanging hand was trembling slightly with excitement, and the cigarette was wrinkled.

"Otsutsuki! Come on--" The abundant cursed energy instantly surged throughout his body.

Otsutsuki Yuta suddenly spread his legs apart, and with the reaction force, he dived down, while slowly holding up "Murasame". Behind him, countless cursed shells were still scattered, as if meteorites were falling.

Shi Liulong looked fanatical as he looked up at Okkotsu Yuta who was rushing towards him. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously as he clenched his right fist. The rising cursed power completely enveloped it in an instant. He aimed at the opponent and was about to punch.

Otsutsuki, who was approaching him at an extremely fast speed, shifted his body at the moment before the two were about to touch. He leaned at an angle that went against common sense and narrowly passed by Shi Liulong.

At the same time, Otsutsuki raised "Murasame" diagonally, and the extremely sharp blade left a shallow mark on the latter's shoulder, and bright red blood exploded instantly.

Before Shiliulyu could react, the third cursed energy shell that had been following Ogatsune had already hit him in the face.

Shi Liulong slightly widened his eyes, but did not panic. He swung out his right fist with force and hit the cannonball that was filled with surging cursed power.

boom!

The aftermath of the cursed energy dispersed by the shell instantly enveloped Shi Liulong's entire body, and he opened his mouth and exhaled hot air.

Yuta Okkotsu stepped on the pipe on the roof, turned over and landed steadily.

The smoke and dust behind Shi Liulong gradually dissipated, revealing a body that had been thoroughly baptized by the cursed bullet.

Otsutsuki looked at it carefully. Shi Liulong tilted his head back, and white air came out of his mouth. He slowly turned his head to look behind him, grinned and said, "Otsutsuki, you are a "strategic" type——"

Okkotsu Yuta also saw the guy's condition clearly.

Even though you could see some shallow bruises on his skin, they were nothing to write home about.

Shi Liulong glanced at the shoulder that was just scratched by "Murasame". A thin streak of blood was oozing out. He said with a little surprise: "Your sword is really a good cursed tool... Modern magicians are really talented."

Otsutsuki made his judgement quickly.

——Shiliulong does not have a "reversal technique".

Instead, there is an astonishing output of cursed energy and physical strength.

Shi Liulong slowly turned to this side, seemingly not in a hurry to continue fighting. He picked up the cigarette that had just been crumpled, "Otsutsuki, my life, although I have nothing to be dissatisfied with... but it is too dull--"

He held the cigarette between his lips, with the tobacco oozing out from the tip.

Otsutsuki remained calm.

——He never gave his name.

He also didn't think that he would be famous enough for magicians from hundreds of years ago to hear his legend in the underworld.

…Okay, that’s not a very appropriate example.

The fact that these guys can successfully "reincarnate" today proves that over the past few hundred years, their souls have been kept in the world by special means of nooses and have not undergone "reincarnation".

In addition, it is obvious that the two people in front of me know me.

...at least I know the name.

The most reasonable and most likely inference is naturally "noose".

——I became part of the "bond" between the Nose and these two.

Over there, Shi Liulong lit a cigarette and said to himself, "Otsutsuki, you know - this cigarette will have a hint of sweetness at the end."

"Sorry, I don't smoke. As for brands, the only one I know is Marlboro--" Otsutsuki responded calmly.

Even the global brand "Marlboro" was something he only knew about because of Miss Ienori.

...After all, she is the master's wife.

Shi Liulong was stunned for a moment, and a small piece of ash accumulated on the tip of the cigarette.

He then leaned back and laughed.

Otsutsuki remained expressionless.

However, he admitted that he was indeed not as good as Teacher Su in this regard.

Even though Teacher Su doesn't smoke, he seems to know many cigarette brands.

Although he himself said that he would "make sure that we are well prepared when receiving various distinguished guests"——

But, it's obvious.

...It's just a polite remark.

Otsutsuki exhaled slightly to adjust his breathing, and at the same time put Murasame into the sheath at his waist.

——After all, Teacher Su knows a lot more than just cigarettes.

It covers everything...even the inner gears of a hand-cranked ice cream machine.

Shi Liulong laughed so hard that he could barely control himself.

Then, his expression unexpectedly turned lonely. He spit out the cigarette in his mouth and slowly said: "I just want to say that my life is at the end-"

Otsutsuki took a stance.

...is coming.

Shi Liulong said in a gentle tone, "...there is a lack of dessert."

When the last word fell, the figure had already disappeared. A burst of air explosion sounded beside Otsukoshi's ears.

Otsutsuki raised his right arm to block almost as a conditioned reflex. The next moment, a huge force suddenly came from the point where the two of them had contact. The abnormal force made his forearm numb almost instantly.

Shi Liulong immediately threw the next punch, and Yu Gong raised his left hand to slap the opponent's wrist, while slightly raising his right fist to hit the opponent's lower abdomen.

Snapped.

Shi Liulong steadily caught Yu Gong's sneak attack and turned his wrist forcefully. Yu Gong took advantage of the momentum to jump up, turned sideways in the air and kicked out with force.

Pass!

The whip kick, packed with amazing cursed power, landed heavily on the side of Shi Liulong's neck. He tilted his head and clamped Yu Gong's feet.

——It was like kicking a mountain.

Without hesitation, Otsukotsu used his toes as a fulcrum, turned around and quickly approached Shi Liulong, while delivering another punch.

Shi Liulong grabbed Otsutsuki's leg and threw it downward. Otsutsuki lost his balance instantly, and his fist and palm hit the ground. He suddenly raised his body and rolled in the air to create distance.

Shi Liulong didn't give him any chance to breathe. The moment he threw Otsutsuki away, he pushed forward and the floor beneath his feet caved in. He raised his fist to his waist and hit Otsutsuki's ribs hard.

Otsutsuki, who had just fallen, barely raised his forearm and used the angle and curse power to barely neutralize the opponent's punch. At the same time, he moved to the side.

The Stone Ryuulong cut in diagonally from behind him, and with a little inertia, Ogon couldn't change direction completely, so he mobilized all his cursed power and slammed heavily into the person behind him.

Shiliulong, who was also facing the enemy with his back, looked happy. His cursed power suddenly expanded and he headed straight for Otsutsuki who was charging at him.

Boom! !

A very dull thud was heard immediately, and the ground beneath the two men's feet instantly sank deeply, with long and narrow cracks extending all the way to the edge of the roof.

"puff--"

The next moment, Otsukoshi's blood and energy were disordered, and he flew out from the edge of the roof.

——Sure enough, the opponent’s physical strength is almost unparalleled in the world.

Okkotsu adjusted his direction in the air, trying to find an excellent landing point.

On the side, Shi Liulong took big steps and followed closely behind Yu Gongzi.

——Otsutsuki relies on a vast amount of cursed energy, which is almost bottomless.

Shi Liulong suddenly ducked and jumped, falling rapidly from the air, landing upside down in front of Yu Gongzi. The two were only five meters apart.

"Granida Shockwave! !"

In an instant, terrifying magical power gathered in front of the stone dragon's head and shot towards Otsutsuki.
