Fang Zheng had been thinking of a way to solve the sister problem of Chi Tong and Hei Tong a long time ago. The reason was simple. Chi Tong was the first person in Fang Zheng's world to inherit the martial arts swordsmanship. Since she was the first person, she must hope that she could have a good ending.

Like those people who practice extraordinary skills in martial arts novels, they are either born with bad luck or are neither human nor ghost. What do you think they look like?

Fang Zheng actually didn't hear much from Chi Tong about the problem of the sisters. Chi Tong's serious expression, "Only one of us can survive," made Fang Zheng imagine a lot, because the sisters didn't seem to be interested in love, so they wouldn't fight to the death for a man like Tianshan Tonglao and Li Qiushui. Could it be a personal problem in the family? Or was there some secret?

After listening to Hei Tong talking so much, I can sum it up in just one sentence...

That is - my sister doesn't want me anymore!

This naughty kid really needs to be punished! !

After figuring out the situation, Fang Zheng suddenly felt that he had been wasting his feelings before!

I originally thought there was some deep hatred between them, but it turned out to be just a quarrel between sisters!

There is still no misunderstanding!

Of course, it's not that Chi Tong was wrong. She was also an honest person. Fang Zheng estimated that even if Hei Tong refused, Chi Tong would have followed if she insisted. After all, Hei Tong still valued her sister the most. As a result, Chi Tong was honest. When she heard Hei Tong said she wanted to stay, she left directly.

As a result, Hei Tong was confused, and seemed to be pretending to be an idiot - I just said something to her, and your sister doesn't want me anymore?

It doesn’t matter, even if my sister doesn’t want me anymore, I still have companions!

As a result, all his companions died.

This is also an unlucky child.

But...

"You deserve this bad luck!"

The hidden blade in Fang Zheng's hand turned into lightning and stabbed towards Hei Tong, while the girl waved the imperial weapon in her hand, barely resisting Fang Zheng's attack.

"In the final analysis, it's you who is suffering for your own pride. If Chi Tong had left, you could have just followed him and that would have been the end of it!"

"How could I do this!? I still have so many companions, I still have the Empire...!"

"Which is more important, your companions or the empire, or your sister?"

While Fang Zheng thrust out his sword again, he casually asked Hei Tong a question: "If your mother and boyfriend fell into the water, who would you save first?"

“…”

Hei Tong stopped talking immediately, holding the knife and biting his lip, staring at Fang Zheng like a little kid saying "I can't argue with you but I'm very angry, believe it or not, I'll pounce on you and bite you to death", but Fang Zheng was definitely not afraid.

"To put it bluntly, you are just too proud. You should know your sister's personality. At that time, you could have just apologized, acted cute and admitted your mistake, but it turned out like this..."

Fang Zheng could more or less guess that when Hei Tong confronted Chi Tong, she was probably still in her rebellious period, but after seeing her sister actually gave up on her, she gave up on herself.

"Yes, so what if it's like this!?"

At this moment, Hei Tong finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he clenched the knife in his hand and slashed at Fang Zheng again.

"But so what! After that, my sister never came to see me once! Not once! I only have those companions! I can only survive for the empire! I killed so many people! But my sister never appeared in front of me, even though I killed so many rebels! Why! Why is it all my fault!!"

What is this, sister, love me again?

Looking at the crazy Hei Tong, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows. Although it was very faint, he could feel that Hei Tong's emotions were very unstable at the moment, and the reason for this instability was not only from her...

Is that the thing?

Fang Zheng dodged Hei Tong's attack again and looked at the imperial weapon in her hand. He had learned from others that imperial weapons were made from the organs of dangerous species. To some extent, these imperial weapons were not really dead objects, but living organisms.

Of course, this is also a weakness. For example, Akame's Thirteen Deadly Swords are enough to bring true death to any imperial weapon - so the Murasame in her hand is no longer a threat at all.

In that case, then...

“Aaaaaaah!!”

Hei Tong once again raised the knife in his hand and swung it towards Fang Zheng, but this time Fang Zheng did not dodge like before. Instead, he used his hidden blade to block the blade swung by Hei Tong. Then he clenched his right fist and stabbed the sharp blade with the hidden blade in his hand!

“Ding ding ding!!!”

The sharp hidden blade stabbed forward with a flash of cold light and hit Hei Tong's blade. At this moment, Hei Tong could only hold the hilt tightly and endure Fang Zheng's attack like a storm. She did not notice that every time Fang Zheng swung out the hidden blade to hit her imperial weapon, the slender blade similar to Murasame would begin to vibrate at a peculiar frequency. Finally, Fang Zheng stopped abruptly, and then the hidden blades in his hands suddenly revealed their fangs like a poisonous snake and bit forward!

"clang!!"

With the strong impact coming towards her, at this moment Hei Tong could no longer withstand Fang Zheng's attack. She fell to the ground with a muffled groan. At the same time, the imperial weapon "Eight Rooms" in her hand also broke and turned into a broken sword.

“Ugh…!!”

Hei Tong fell heavily to the ground, and the broken blade spun and flew. She tried hard to stand up, but before Hei Tong could stand up, she covered her mouth and coughed violently, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"You killed her?"

It was only then that Mayin came over and looked at Fang Zheng, asking anxiously. As a member of the Night Raid, she knew a little about the feud between Chi Tong and her sister. In fact, Mayin had thought about killing Hei Tong before Chi Tong, so that Chi Tong wouldn't have to kill her sister with her own hands.

But now... the emperor is dead, and most of the instigators are dead, so Hei Tong's life or death is not that important.

"No, but her health is not good to begin with. I think it's a reaction to some drug. We need to go back and investigate... Now we have to see what happens with Akame."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned his head and looked at the battlefield on the other side.

At this moment, Chi Tong was fighting with the red-haired girl. The other party's swordsmanship was obviously much stronger than Chi Tong's, so that now Chi Tong could only barely resist, but had no power to fight back. Not only that, at this moment, Chi Tong was covered with wounds and looked quite miserable.

"I'm going to go up and help!"

“No hurry.”

Fang Zheng waved his hand to stop Mayin and Hill who were about to join the battle.

"This battle is also a test for Akame. After all, it's hard to find an opponent."

"opponent?"

Hearing this, Ma Yin looked at Fang Zheng in confusion.

"Is this woman important?"

"Well, she was once a hero."

Fang Zheng said as he looked at the red-haired girl who was fighting fiercely with Akame.

"Her name is Theresa van Astraea. She is the former Sword Saint of the Lugnica Kingdom. She once led the Lugnica army to end the Demi-Human War."

"Wait, wasn't that decades ago?"

Hearing this, Chelsea was shocked.

"She looks very young. She seems to be less than 20 years old!"

"Well, in fact, according to historical records, this sword master should have died in the process of defeating dangerous species... well..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng stared at Theresa with his eyes narrowed with interest. His investigation of Theresa was actually accidental. At the beginning, Fang Zheng was using "The Whispering Banner" to investigate the list of hunters, and then he found the name Astraea. He found it interesting so he conducted further investigation and found out that this woman named Theresa was actually Reinhard's grandmother. Not only that, she should have died a long time ago... No, it should be said that she is not alive now.

In short, Theresa was manipulated by the Witch Cult with some secret method, and survived in a strange form of the living dead. Although the Witch Cult was destroyed, the remaining Witch Cult members fled to the Northern Empire and made a comeback as the Anning Dao. Therefore, Theresa became a bargaining chip for them to trade with Minister Ernest, and then she joined the Hunter Corps.

Fang Zheng also found out An Ningdao's true identity from here, and then he went over and wiped them out.

As a former swordsman, Theresa's strength is unquestionable. Although she has not fully recovered her will and is only acting according to orders, she still managed to beat Akame so hard that she couldn't even raise her head.

For Akagi, this is also a good test.

Now it all depends on whether she can seize the opportunity.

“Drink it—!”

Having once again blocked Theresa's attack, Akahime stabbed out with the sword, and then suddenly changed. At the same time, Theresa seemed to have noticed Akahime's change of moves, and she swung the sword in her hand forward suddenly, blocking Akahime's attack at the most delicate distance.

However, what comes next is Akame’s trump card.

The Murasame in her hand began to tremble, and the breath of death gradually emerged.

fifteenth……

However, what no one expected was that just before Akame’s fifteenth sword was about to be launched, Theresa seemed to have noticed something. She suddenly jumped back, then without looking back, she turned around and left the arena, disappearing into the dark passage.

“…”

Seeing this scene, Chi Tong was also dumbfounded.

“You must be kidding!”

Marin stared at the dark passage in the distance in amazement. Thearesia was so decisive. She ran away without hesitation. She didn’t show any demeanor of a swordsman at all. She disappeared without a word…

"As expected of a former Sword Master."

Compared to the astonishment of Akahime and Myne, Fang Zheng nodded. The name of the previous swordsman was indeed well-deserved. Even if it was the first time he saw a sword move, he could sense the danger through intuition and choose to escape. Although Theresa's method was a bit embarrassing, it was indeed useful.

After all, no matter how powerful the Thirteen Deadly Swords are, they are still sword moves, and sword moves have an attack range. Even if the target is killed within the attack range, as long as the target leaves the attack range, then no matter how powerful the sword moves are, they will be useless.

At this time, Chi Tong had already sheathed her sword, her face pale. She should be thankful that the other party ran away early, and the fifteenth sword had not been released yet. If Thearesia had withdrawn when Chi Tong released the fifteenth sword, then Chi Tong might have to commit suicide by swinging the sword at herself like Yan Shisan.

But now... just let her be.

Fang Zheng took a quick glance and then looked away.

If Reinhard knew that his grandmother was here, he would definitely come looking for her. Then, wouldn't Esdeath have a chance?
