Chapter 149: Nobles? People who follow their hearts!
By the time Ji Guoyuan and the other sailors heard the noise and walked out of the tavern, the street was already in a mess.
"A. Monster!!"
"Lord Wenwenbully was killed!"
"The army is coming, run!"
When the nearby residents saw this horrifying scene, they didn't dare to stay on the street any longer. They didn't even have the mind to watch the excitement. They shouted and ran away in all directions.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's attention was instantly attracted by the corpse under the meteorite, and he looked over intently.
It was a middle-aged man, whose lower body was crushed by the meteorite. His whole body was now wrapped in flames. Although his clothes were burning, the man was wearing gold and silver on his hands, and was obviously a rich man.
Listening to the cries of the fleeing residents, the person who was crushed to death under the meteorite must be a prominent figure, perhaps a noble in the Cuiluan Principality.
There was no doubt that there was only one person present who could create such a commotion and turn the battlefield into this state.
While thinking, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi looked at Yixiao. At this time, Yixiao was surrounded by a group of strong men, and his "guide stick" was already in his hand.
Holding the guide stick with both hands is like holding a sword.
"It's a blessing to be blind. There are so many filthy and vile people in this world that it's unbearable to look at them!"
Yixiao, who was surrounded by people, suddenly spoke out. While speaking, he grabbed one end of the guide with his right hand and pulled out a long knife from it, and swung the long knife towards the group of men around him.
"boom!!!!"
Instantly, a loud crash erupted from the ground, and a bottomless hole inexplicably appeared beneath their feet.
The men surrounding Yixiao had never expected such a situation to happen. They had no time to dodge and screamed in fear. They fell directly into a bottomless hole and disappeared completely.
Even their cries for help disappeared as their bodies fell.
"What's this?!"
"Devil Fruit power?"
At this time, the Marines also rushed out of the tavern, and happened to see Yixiao taking action. A young Marine was stunned and couldn't help but cry out.
Seeing Yixiao's ruthless attack, Cyrus frowned immediately, drew out the long sword on his back, grasped it directly in his hand, and asked loudly:
"What are you doing?!"
"Killing someone in the street? How dare you be so lawless?!"
As Cyrus questioned, his figure quickly disappeared from Yunyi's side, and he attacked Yixiao directly with a sword in hand.
However, Cyrus obviously wanted to subdue his opponent. When he attacked Yixiao, he did not chop him, but instead raised the hilt of the sword and hit Yixiao's lower abdomen.
Cyrus and Yixiao are of similar height, but judging from their body shapes alone, Cyrus is more robust. Although the other party is suspected to be a devil fruit user, Cyrus has no fear when faced with the crime of killing people in the street.
The opponent was a blind man, and Cyrus was confident that he could subdue him with one blow.
"Snap!" However, when Cyrus's sword handle was about to hit Yixiao's lower abdomen, Yixiao, who was holding a knife in his right hand, quickly stretched out his left hand and grabbed Cyrus' wrist directly, blocking Cyrus' attack.
"Marine?"
"I'm just cleaning up the world's filth. There's no need to trouble you, the navy!"
Yixiao grabbed Cyrus' wrist with his hand, preventing Cyrus from getting any closer. However, Yixiao did not continue to attack Cyrus. Instead, he said this to Cyrus.
"Cleansing the world's filth?"
"If you say it's dirty, then it's dirty?"
"Now that I've seen something like this, I absolutely cannot just ignore it!"
"I'll tell you the truth after we return to the navy!"
Cyrus obviously would not be fooled so easily by a smile. He was an upright man and would never sit idly by and watch such a thing happen.
Killing people in the street, and then trying to get away with it with a casual "cleaning up the mess"? That's too much of a disregard for the navy!
Cyrus quickly broke free from Yixiao's grip, raised his foot and kicked directly at Yixiao's head. Just as Yixiao raised his hand to block again, Cyrus' pupils shrank slightly, and the hilt of the sword in his hand also coordinated with the attack of his leg, hitting Yixiao's lower abdomen again.
It was a very sharp combo of physical skills. If it were an ordinary person, Cyrus' attack would definitely be successful.
But his opponent was a smile.
“Bang!!!”
Just when Cyrus' attack was about to hit Yixiao, an inexplicable gravity was suddenly exerted on Cyrus. At this moment, Cyrus seemed to be carrying a mountain on his back.
Caught off guard, he fell to the ground with a thud. The terrifying gravity affected the area where Cyrus was. A huge dent appeared on the ground beneath Cyrus.
"Devil Fruit User!!"
“This power.”
Cyrus raised his head with great effort, looked up at Yixiao who was standing in front of him, and desperately supported himself on the ground with both hands, trying to stand up again. Under the pressure of gravity, all the bones in Cyrus' body made slight noises when he tried to get up, as if they were about to collapse under the weight.
Yixiao seemed to have noticed Cyrus's struggle, and slowly put the knife back into the sheath, kindly reminding him:
"I don't want to go to the Navy with you."
"Don't try to resist this force. Your bones, muscles, and internal organs won't be able to withstand it."
"I don't want to hurt you."
As the long sword was put into the sheath, Cyrus suddenly felt the inexplicable gravity on his body suddenly dissipate. Cyrus himself did not control his own strength well, and jumped into the air at the moment the gravity dissipated.
Cyrus in the air obviously did not give up the idea of catching Yixiao. He held the sword in both hands, adjusted his posture with the moon steps in the air, and then fell rapidly, slashing directly at Yixiao with the sword in his hand.
"clang!!!"
The long sword chopped down, and Yixiao just raised his guide stick and pulled out a blade that was only a dozen centimeters long from it, directly blocking Cyrus' attack. A crisp golden sound was heard.
Cyrus's attack failed, and as he fell back to the ground, he quickly jumped back half a meter away. Then he bent his knees slightly, pointed the tip of his sword, and smiled. Just as he was about to charge forward to attack, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's voice came directly into the battlefield:
"That's enough, Cyrus."
"You are no match for him."
As the voice reached the battlefield, a figure appeared in front of Cyrus, blocking Cyrus who was about to charge and attack with one hand, and stopped him.
"Yuichi, but he..."
Cyrus did not lower his stance. He raised his head and glanced anxiously at Jigoku Yoshiichi. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when Yoshiichi shook his head and interrupted him:
"Mr. Yixiao."
"Although this is the first time we meet, my intuition tells me that you are not someone who kills indiscriminately."
"What happened? Can you tell me?"
Hearing what Yunyi said, Yixiao slowly put the knife back into the sheath, tapped the ground with his cane, and said to Jigoku Yunyi:
"Because I accidentally got in their way, they planned to kill me."
"Filthy people, you deserve death!"
Yixiao leaned on his "crutch" with both hands, speaking in a resolute tone. His clothes fluttered as he spoke, and a powerful aura emanated from him. His words also startled the navy present.
Killing someone just because they're blocking the road? Who is so overbearing?
Hearing this, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's gaze subconsciously turned to the corpse that was crushed under the meteorite not far away. At this moment, the corpse had been burned to charcoal, and the flames on the meteorite had gradually died out.
Although the body had been burned beyond recognition, the gold rings inlaid with gems on his hands still sparkled in the sunlight.
