Chapter 70 Let me do it

"Duel in front of the emperor?"

When Yae Shinko heard the sound coming from outside, he was startled.

If she remembered correctly, at this point in time, the only person who initiated the duel in front of the emperor should be Manye's friend.

"Will you come with me?"

When General Lei Dian stood up and walked outside, he did not forget to speak to the Eightfold Son of God behind him.

"Then go...to see?"

As General Raiden walked out of the castle tower, Yae Shinko saw a man with tawny hair and wearing a ronin windbreaker standing in the audience with a knife in his hand and an Eye of the Thunder Element God on his waist.

Judging from this outfit, even if Yae Shinko had never seen him in person, she knew that the other person was most likely Manye's friend.

General Lei Dian stopped at the stairs and did not go any further.

Although he was wondering why Yae Kamiko and General Raiden appeared in the castle tower today instead of in the rebel base, Yain Island, Kujo Sara would not show it in public.

Yae Shinko looked at the man who saluted her and said with interest: "Interesting little guy, what's your name?"

"Sara."

"Wait a minute, let me do it."

Manyo's friend naturally recognized Yae Kamiko, but he did not expect that the opponent in the duel in front of the emperor would be the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine.

"You?" General Lei Dian frowned.

Kujo Sara: “?”

"Not really. Then come on."

The duel before the emperor is solemn and cruel. To Inazuma, it is a ritual that is above all else. As long as one wins the duel before the emperor, even the traveler who is known as the eternal enemy can walk out of the castle tower alive with this honor, not to mention anything else.

"exist!"

Yae Shinko suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing the words of the Eightfold Divine Son, Kujo Sara paused slightly.

General Lei Dian nodded slightly, then looked at Kujo Sara who had been waiting not far away.

"Master Palace Administrator, please enlighten me."

"Lord Palace Secretary."

"What, you don't believe me?"

General Thunder: "..."

General Thunder: "..."

Yae Shinko walked down the stairs slowly, and said to General Lei Dian behind him: "It seems that you are not so rigid."

"It's up to you..."

"General, I want to challenge you to a duel in front of the emperor."

Manye's friend did not answer, but instead assumed a fighting stance and stared at the other party with a serious face.

Yae Shinko looked at the other person's serious expression, but his mind became active.

If he wins this duel in front of the emperor, Manye's friend will definitely be killed by General Raiden's sword.

This is also the rule of Inazuma. The loser will face Wuxiang's sword as divine punishment.

Although Manye's friend Yae Shinko didn't know him well, she admired him very much for being able to challenge the emperor to a duel with the determination to die at this time.

If I were not here today, General Thunder would have struck me, but I happen to be here today.

Such a talent cannot be killed by General Lei Dian's sword. But I am different. My current strength can completely resist General Lei Dian's sword. After inheriting the power of Zhen, the Eightfold Son of God who obtained the power of thunder naturally has the ability to be immune to thunder elements like Ying.

This is also the reason why Yae Shinko offered to come forward and duel in front of the emperor.

Because Kujo Sara couldn't withstand that sword either, so Kujo Sara would definitely defend his honor to the death and fight the opponent seriously.

Thinking of this, Yae Shinko raised her hands, put her fists together, and followed her movements.

A purple pirated dream knife was grasped by her right hand and pulled out from her left hand.

In an instant, the originally clear sky was covered by dark clouds, the wind was howling, and long purple snakes were rolling in the dark clouds.

When Manye's friend saw this, his pupils shrank.

At this moment, the person in front of him was like a god descending to earth. Just by drawing his sword, he could bring out such a powerful pressure.

In an instant, Manye's friend's hands holding the long sword were soaked with cold sweat, but he did not retreat, and his eyes were fixed on the Eightfold Son of God in front of him.

Yae Shinko held the knife in one hand and made a gesture of invitation to Manye's friends.

Wan Ye's friend's eyes focused, and the Eye of God hanging on his waist suddenly burst out with a strong purple light, and his figure rushed towards the direction of Yae Godson like lightning.

clang!
Yae Shinko blocked the attack of Manye's friend with one hand and looked at him with a smile.

Although the opponent's movements were very fast, in the eyes of Yae Shinko they were as slow as a slide.

However, Yae Shinko did not taunt the opponent like a villain. She just pushed the hand holding the knife forward lightly, and Manye's friend was pushed away by Yae Shinko as if he had suffered a heavy blow.

Manye's friend rolled in the air and stabilized his body, but because the opponent's strength was too strong, even after he landed, he was still pushed back a long distance by the power of the Eightfold God Son.

The Okujita clan and the shogunate troops led by Kujo Sara who were watching this duel in front of the emperor all shook their heads and sighed.

The disparity in strength between the two is too great.

None of them thought there was any chance that Manye's friends could win.

In this solemn and dignified duel before the emperor, the people watching on the sidelines did not talk privately.

Dang Dang Dang——!
There was a crisp metallic sound of weapons clashing on the field. Yae Shinko still held the knife in one hand as before, with his left hand behind his back, calmly resisting the attacks of Manye's friends.

Even her feet did not move at all. She just responded to the opponent's moves and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

After a while, Manyo's friend who had been attacking was already out of breath.

"Huhuhu——!"

After being repelled once again by Yae Shinko, Manye's friends were no longer as at ease as before.

He knelt on one knee, the long knife in his hand was already stuck in the ground, and he was breathing heavily.

The whole person was completely soaked in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.

At this moment, she clearly felt the other party's strength, a strength that made people despair.

Although they knew they were doomed to fail, Manye's friends did not give up.

Instead, he stood up again, and his gaze towards the Eightfold Son of God became firm again, as if he could sense the emotions of its holder. The Eye of God, which had originally dimmed a lot, suddenly emitted a dazzling light as if it sensed his belief.

"Perhaps, when you face me, you may be able to win with this power, but you are facing Lord Gongsi who is as powerful as Lord General, alas..."

Kujo Sara looked at his friend in Manyo who seemed to have unleashed his final blow, his face full of regret.

Even though the other party was the target of the Eye Hunting Order, Kujo Sara felt very uncomfortable when he saw this moment.

The other party was obviously also an admirer of General Raiden like himself.

It's just that what he admires is General Lei Dian himself, while what the other party admires is the [Unthinking Sword] of General Lei Dian's martial arts mechanism.

It can be said that this is the state that all Inazuma samurai want to reach.
