Chapter 496 - 320: Neon Swordsman (Part 3)
Suddenly!
A violent shaking caused Xina to scream and almost fall off the bed!
Her face instantly turned pale, and her eyes were filled with fear!
Instinctively, she tightly grabbed Lin Lang’s arm and said with a trembling voice:
"Lin Lang, what’s happening? What’s going on?"
Lin Lang remained calm, gently patted Xina’s hand, signaling her not to panic.
He slightly closed his eyes, and his Divine Sense spread out like a tide, quickly comprehending the external situation—
[Giant Squid]
[Combat Power: S++]
[Ability: Infinite Tentacles (Level 10); Self-Healing (Level 10)]
Then.
He slightly curved his lips into a relaxed smile and said:
"It’s nothing, just a little monster. There are plenty of experts on the ship, they won’t even need me to step in."
As soon as he finished speaking, noisy shouts and sounds of fighting could be heard outside.
...
On the deck.
A man dressed in traditional Neon attire slowly stepped out of a room.
He had a tall and slender build, with an ancient Samurai Sword hanging at his waist.
His face was stern, and his eyes exuded a cold iciness, as if nothing in the world could stir him—
[Tono Taro]
[Combat Power: SSS]
[Superpower: Iaijutsu (Level 10); Hurricane Blade (Level 9); Earth Escape (Level 8)]
Tono Taro steadily walked toward the edge of the deck, his gaze like a hawk, locking onto the rampaging Giant Squid:
"Move aside."
People around him quickly made way, their eyes filled with anticipation and awe.
He slowly extended his right hand, gripping the hilt of his Samurai Sword.
The muscles in his arm subtly tensed, and a powerful aura emanated from his body, as if the surrounding air had solidified.
"Hah!"
Tono Taro unleashed a deep, low growl from his mouth!
Simultaneously, his arm drew the Samurai Sword from his waist like lightning.
A dazzling flash of blade light streaked by, so fast it was almost impossible to catch.
With this flash, a powerful force surged forth!
Like an invisible sharp blade, it directly charged at the Giant Squid—
In that instant, time seemed to freeze.
Everyone held their breath, eyes fixed intently on the flash of the blade.
Only to see the massive body of the Giant Squid slowly split into two halves under that flash of the blade!
The cut was smooth and sleek, without any extra marks.
Then!
The two massive halves slowly sank into the sea, leaving behind only a patch of red blood on the surface, testifying to what had just transpired.
"This... this is incredible!"
A burst of exclamations erupted from the crowd.
Everyone was whispering to each other, praising Tono Taro’s strength without end.
However.
Tono Taro didn’t linger at all.
He expressionlessly sheathed his Samurai Sword and turned to walk back to his room.
His steps were steady and decisive, as if what just happened was merely a trivial matter.
...
Millian had been watching the chaotic scene with amusement from the side.
But the moment Tono Taro made his move, her eyes lit up instantly as if she had seen a rare treasure.
Her lips curled into a meaningful smile, and without hesitation, she followed after Tono Taro.
Seemingly having developed a deep interest in this mysterious and powerful Neon Swordsman.
...
Tono Taro walked with steady steps into his room, and the door behind him clicked shut softly.
He had just stepped into the room, not even seated, when there was a gentle knock on the door.
Tono Taro’s brow furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
He disliked being disturbed while on a mission, especially after just experiencing a battle.
"Who is it?"
His voice was low and cold, as if wrapped in winter frost.
"It’s me, Millian."
From outside came Millian’s cheerful voice, tinged with a bit of playfulness.
"Sir, your splendid Sword Technique just now truly amazed me, may I invite you for a drink?"
Tono Taro did not respond immediately, and the room fell into a brief silence.
Millian tilted her head slightly, maintaining a confident smile as she patiently waited.
Suddenly!
With a "whoosh," a cold gleam pierced through the door panel!
It was Tono Taro’s Samurai Sword!
The sharp blade tip stopped precisely at the tip of Millian’s nose, a mere fraction away from her skin:
"Leave."
Tono Taro’s indifferent voice sounded once more.
This time.
The tone carried an undeniable firmness.
Millian’s pupils contracted sharply, and the smile on her face instantly stiffened!
But just for a moment, she returned to normal.
She wasn’t panicked at all, her eyes even flashed with a hint of admiration.
She took a small step back, away from the sharp blade, her lips curling up again, shrugging slightly, and said:
"Alright, I guess I was presumptuous."
With that, Millian turned around and left with a light, airy gait.
Her retreating figure seemed carefree and at ease, as if the dangerous scene just now was nothing more than a trivial episode.
Meanwhile, in the room, Tono Taro slowly withdrew his sword.
His expression remained cold, unchanged by his recent actions.
