Volume 1, Chapter 143 - Imminent Peril (Part 2)

Translator: Snoring Dragon

Dark, gloomy skies, and chilly winds blew!

The samurai of the Hojo family shouted and rushed towards Lily and the Saionji family.

“Open fire!” Kotoka was by no means a docile woman. She ordered decisively at this critical moment.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” More than a dozen of Saionji’s foot soldiers opened fire with their cannons at the same time.

Several samurai from the Hojo family tumbled down. However the Sword Master and High-Tier Samurai led by Nagasaki easily moved to one side and dodged the iron cannon volley.

At this time, the samurai were closing in! Several samurai directly slashed their swords to kill Saionji’s foot soldiers. They immediately scattered and did not have enough time to reload.

“Ah!”

“Help!”

Saionji family’s soldiers let out a series of screams. One after another, they were cut down.

Though the Spirit Power of Low-Tier Sword Master such as Nagasaki and Sakata were inferior, they were fierce enough to charge at Lily and attacked her with their katana.

“Ma’am, Nanako, step back!!” Lily shouted as she lowered her centre of gravity to one side and clenched the hilt.

Sakata glared at Lily and his thick arm slashed his katana at Lily’s shoulder.

Lily’s eyes turned cold.

That Hojo Dijon thought too highly of himself and deigned to fight against Lily. Even if there was no chance of success, Lily didn’t want to give up!

Lily nimbly took a side step. Sakata’s katana swept past Lily’s shoulder by an inch. At this time, Lily suddenly moved her sword.

“Clink!”

A light that stunned Hojo and Hachiro flashed!

The three-foot-nine-inch long sword had clearly streaked across Sakata, but it looked like a phantom and didn’t have any effect on Sakata.

At this moment, Nagasaki who was next to Lily attacked her from the back while she had turned around to face Sakata.

Nagasaki was a powerful low-tier Sword Master. He had a keen reaction but even he couldn’t tell if Sakata had been slashed. Seeing the gap created by Lily, he responded with a strong charge!

At the critical moment where she faced attacks from four blades, Lily adopted an approach not used in normal circumstances.

She held the hilt tightly with both hands, together with an elegant and powerful swivel motion, she aimed at the blade of the four katana and carried out a full-power horizontal slash!

Normally speaking, this was a risky move. The strength of both sides were almost on par. Even if the first blade was parried, how could the remaining three be resisted!? It was like seeking death!

However...

Lily’s three-feet-and-nine-inches long Crescent Moon contained the power of a bizarre Spirit Power and monster sword aura!

“Clink—!”

It was like a blade sweeping through a bamboo forest.

All the four Sword Masters’ katana were broken!

“Puff-!!!”

Shortly after, blood threads that were almost linked together were formed!

All four Sword Masters had a deep wound in the center of their chest with a shallow cut at both sides!

The blood bought out by the blade was like a misty red curtain. It coagulated at the tip of Lily’s blade and flowed along with the blade, slowly dripping to the ground.

One after another, four Sword Masters toppled powerlessly into the pool of blood formed by their very own blood!

This scene sent everyone into a daze regardless whether they were Hojo, Taira Hachiro, Yagyuu Munesaki, Imagawa, or all other samurai!

He thought that arresting Lily was as easy as eating a pie. In front of Hojo Dijon, how could this little woman dare to resist? She should have already been scared and gone soft in the legs!

But unexpectedly, six Sword Masters were lost in a face-to-face confrontation! They were the assets of the Hojo family!

Even that Demon Hound didn’t kill so many experts of the Hojo family!

Dijon was furious and burst forth with vigorous Spirit Power that caused the wind to blow all around him!

At this time, he didn’t care about arresting Lily alive and interrogating her. He only wanted to kill this hateful and vicious woman with one strike!

The roar of the Hojo Dijon resounded through the Suruga town!

“Kagami Lily!”
