There were no ambushes in the hole.

But there are more intense signs of vigilant men than hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers.

Even a tiger who was fisting is now holding a stick over his shoulder that he lowered to his back as his greatest vigilance. Sanlong is also unleashing his own prey, the willow leaf knife, and I can always pull my lower back sword out of my sheath.

"Oh, that's pretty strong."

"How could you be so tempted to grab a child instead of a small object?"

But on top of the numbers, there's a minute here. The man in the headscarf is any awesome arm, and there is only one. There is no way we can withstand the onslaught of the three brothers.

- It should have been.

"Nice to meet you... palace handlers"

"But you can't pull for us and our friends in the west. I want you to end up here."

It was the pair wearing yellow and green headscarves who stood in the throne blocking their hands from the pit.

He is wearing a barbarian outfit and wielding a short spear over his head.

"Call us the gods of wind and thunder."

"Come on, defeat us if you want to go through here. Most likely, our chief will never defeat us!

Superior, I'll cut you off in a minute.

When I thought so and tried to pull out my sword, Ichiti and Sanryu were already flying.

White blade light scatters sharply in a dim hole warehouse where only candle fire swings.

One tiger's stick had been received by the man with the green towel (the wind god), and the blade of the three dragons by the man with the yellow towel (the thunder god).

- Strong.

It is not an exaggeration to take these two attacks without difficulty. That was possible, except for the Emperor and our brothers, about the guiding roles and generals in the palace. If we don't hurry up,

"Go first, Si Xuan!

Trying to join the cover. No, a tiger screamed. Then Sanlong vomits the same words.

"Yeah, these guys are pretty good, but they're not us getting hit easy. It's a shame for a moment now. Just you go ahead."

"Do you think I'll let you!?

The wind god/thunder god, who shouted so with exasperation, is however forced to turn to his guardian by a wave of his two brothers all over him.

"Thank you, brother!

In that gap I slip through the wind god Thunder God. I heard you wait, but naturally no fool waits.

But it just got a little uncomfortable.

Do it with that wind god thunder god. Sure, he was an undisputed strong man, but for a captive barbarian, there seemed to be a misplaced pleasure when he did it -

No, not if you're thinking about that now.

We must hurry to save the Moon Heavenly Maru.

――――――――――――――――……

"Nice to meet you."

At the deepest part of the pit we reached, the man with the red headscarf was waiting.

Musculoskeletal greatness. Even I'm quite fit, the big man I can only look up to. The man with the red headscarf could definitely be seen as a superior warrior, even in style alone.

"Where is Moon Heavenly Maru?"

"Don't worry, I treat you politely as a guest"

And I looked closely and noticed.

Behind the man with the red headscarf, the moon heavenly circle is rolling to the ground, wrapped around with rope and bitten with monkeys. The gaze stares at the man with the headscarf in resentment above this.

"Where is polite! I can't even move and I can't believe you're a monkey... you're not treating me like a very good guest!

"Mmm!

For some reason, the Moon Heavenly Maru protest turned to us. I'm sure it means help quickly, not talking.

"You can count on it. If you want to save him, take me down."

"You don't have to tell me! Don't complain when you're dead!

I paid my sheath. I jump into the big man's pocket. You're also alarmed, he hasn't even held a weapon yet. With a machete, you can defeat it without preventing it.

"- Did you think your bare opponent could easily defeat you?

But.

My sword was bare-handed by the man in the headscarf. Besides, it is not a small craftsman called white blade removal. He took the blade by hand and didn't even drain a drop of blood.

"Shh!

And he grabs the blade of the sword, swings it around, and throws it at me against the rock wall. I was beaten to pieces with enough momentum to smash the rock floor, and I spit a bloody sputum out of my mouth.

"I just... Weaponry is a decoration. True strength is what dwells only in the flesh."

The man with the headscarf threw his upper body clothes and got half-naked. Its flesh, polished by countless scars, unleashed a swordlike prestige complete by being slapped by a hammer.

A man in a headscarf shows off his upper arm muscles and yells at me.

"Come on, Si Xuan! Let me show you the finest of the martial arts!

"Get it out, you maniac!

Having eaten up my teeth, I leap with all my strength and wave my sword down from the head of the headscarf man.

"Oh no! That's a better temper than just now! But sweet!

But the man in the headscarf even takes the slaughter easily simply by crossing his arms. It's the hardness I can only imagine the skin being made of steel.

The man shook up his arm and paid off my sword, roaring the wind and releasing his positive fist.

- If you hit it, you die.

Intuitive, I forcefully pulled the flying sword back to hand and put the blade in front of me as a shield.

And the blade was crushed by the fist as a piece of dirt.

"Guha!"

I abandoned my sword in awe and prevented my fists with both arms, but I still can't kill the shock. Once again, he gets slammed against the rock wall, his whole body snaps and his vision stains red.

"What's up...? Are we done here? It's boring. Still the son of the present emperor, who boasts of invincibility?

"Damn......"

"But I'm glad you came yourself. Honestly, I didn't know if I was going to be held hostage by a self-proclaimed Fifth Prince, whose identity was uncertain. Let's capture you here and send a threatening letter to the court again - you've already used up that moon Heavenly Maru."

A man with a headscarf turned his back on me. To walk is the bound and immobile Moon Heavenly Maru.

"... wait. What are you going to do with him?"

"What else is there to dispose of, such as hostages that are no longer needed"

The moment I heard it, I jumped on the man's back ignoring all the pain in his body. I roll my fists out at that face, but I can stop it with one hand. But...

"Well, do you still want to push me in"

"You're kidding... who do you think he is? She'll be the next emperor...?

"Fool. No. Do such false princes deserve such qualifications? I assume the court was going to ignore it, too?

"Even so!

Spin and plug a kick into the flank of a man distracted by his fist. Even the rock kicks hardness on his skeleton, but it seems to have worked just fine for his opponent.

"It's what we decided with our brothers...! It's already a sacrifice that matters to us... my sister!

"Wait, you see the dirty truth?

"Mmm!

The man with the headscarf and Moon Tianmaru pinch the objection, but it doesn't matter.

"If you're gonna get your hands on him, whoever it is, I'm gonna smash it!

It is the readiness of those who decide to be their brother, even if that is a lie.

Kick the ground and narrow your distance from the man. Place an elbow on your abs, but this arm is paralyzed on the reverse. My opponent puts his hands together in that gap and punches me in the head like an iron hammer.

It hurts and dazzles my vision, but it doesn't matter. Thanks to this I was able to snuggle up on my nose.

Fist is not what you unleash with your arms. It conveys to the fist the force sucked up from the ground by the earthquake leg.

So the most powerful thing you can do is fist over your head, diagonal to your leg. Now in that position, there is the opponent's jaw. It's the steepest place to penetrate a blow to the brain.

"Eat this monster!

Direct hit.

An ordinary man would have smashed every cranium. The impact bursts, and the headscarf worn by the man bounces off. The big man, who was properly brain-shaken, fluttered his legs about, and on the spot - he wouldn't fall.

"Hehe... that was a pretty good blow. But you haven't beaten me yet."

"Then I'll punch in as many blows as I can right now. Until you fall."

Until then, even if I die, I will come back to life. Yes. When you're exciting yourself and holding your fist back,

"Keep it around, Father. If you do any more, Si Xuan will die."

There was someone stepping into an underground cavity that was the place for the showdown. There are five shadows.

Ichiti and Sanlong, plus Erzhu, who should have been watching at the entrance. And even side-by-side, there were two thieves of the wind and thunder gods.

"Oh, Father...?

But more importantly, it was a word released by a tiger. I rub my eyes and see the face of the big man with the red headscarf floating in the dim.

The face under the headscarf that just flew...

Father. He was an emperor.
