Chapter 30 An absolute powerhouse! A genius who can't lose!
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ji stood with his sword across his hand.
One person, one sword.
They blocked one side of the narrow valley, the only entrance.
The rock walls on both sides are steep and sheer, and the moonlight falls through the narrow crack overhead, like a spotlight, illuminating the desolate landscape.

In that instant, one man and one sword faced hundreds upon hundreds of ferocious beasts of various shapes and sizes, their eyes as red as blood—
The scene immediately presented an extremely magnificent visual impact.
And then there's that suddenly powerful, catchy theme music.
At this moment, the comments section actually got a bit creepy:
"Holy shit!!!"
"Playing this cool? Hagiwara!"
"One man, one sword, guarding one place alone! Damn, this is getting exciting!!!"
"You rascal! You managed to pull it off again!"
"Silent God is awesome!!!"
It's also fortunate that this rift is only D-level, and the highest-ranking beast inside is only a second-tier void beast.
Even if stimulated into a frenzy by drugs, the increase in strength is ultimately limited.
As for Saki—
Below the third rank, he is invincible.
This is a gap that cannot be filled by numbers.
After all, no matter how much garbage there is, it's still just garbage.
No?
"roar--!!!"
The first few wolf-shaped phantom beasts, accompanied by a foul stench, pounced first!
Sharp claws tore through the air, aiming straight for Qi Ji's throat!
Sakiji moved.
It wasn't an earth-shattering burst of energy, nor was it a dazzling display of sword light effects.
It's just the simplest, most direct, and most deadly thing—
cut!
"Whoosh—!"
A cold, silvery-blue arc of light, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, flashed by in the moonlight.
The three shadow wolves that pounced at the front suddenly froze in mid-air.
The next instant, the head and body separated along the smooth cut surface!
Fresh blood gushed into the sky like a fountain!
Before their corpses even hit the ground, Qi Ji's figure had already shifted half a step to the side like a ghost, and Wu Xiang Sword swept horizontally in the same direction!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
Three more Deinonychus pounced from the side, only to be cut in half by the sword light!
At the cut, the internal organs gushed out, emitting a pungent, fishy smell.
Qi Ji's movements were so fast that they were just afterimages.
With every step, he could perfectly dodge all attacks.
Each swing of the sword inevitably takes the lives of several virtual beasts.
There were no unnecessary movements, and not a single ounce of effort was wasted.
The efficient and precise killing was like a dance, incredibly elegant.
The comments section was filled with amazement:
"Elegant! So damn elegant!"
"Haki, are you going to dance too?"
"Kamishiro Seigen: Brother Ji, how's my sword going for you?"
"Musou-chan, the most important thing is that you and Saki are living a good life together!"
Sword light swirled, and blood blossomed.
Saki stood there, like an unshakeable reef.
The beast tide surged in like a torrent, but he cleaved it in two with a single sword stroke.
All the ethereal beasts that rushed towards him, whether thick-skinned or agile, were as fragile as paper in front of this man and his sword.
Limbs, severed heads, broken carapaces, splattered sap...
It formed a nauseating yet incredibly awe-inspiring wave, cascading wildly to both sides with the rugged terrain as the dividing line.
The long line he initially drew under his feet seemed to truly possess the magic of "no passage."
Not a single virtual beast was able to cross this boundary.
Those who had already run far away couldn't help but turn around to look when they heard the shocking noise behind them.
Then they witnessed a scene they would never forget.
All I saw was—
In the distance, beyond the narrow valley, a surging tide of beasts seemed to devour the heavens and earth.
In the center of that destructive torrent, a slender yet upright figure stood against the current.
His back view was slender, yet it gave the impression of being as majestic as a mountain.
The moonlight, like a waterfall, stretched his long, narrow shadow on the ground as he held his sword.
Clothes billowed, longswords danced, and blood, flesh, and shattered armor splattered everywhere.
Centered on him, death spreads rapidly and magnificently, like a living ink stain.
Nothing could stand where the sword's light reached.
The clamor of life and the silence of death achieved a strange and awe-inspiring harmony within a three-foot radius around him.
for real--
One man can hold the pass.
All beasts,
All of them shall be executed!
……
Everyone was dumbfounded.
incredible.
Only awe.
original……
One person, one sword...
It really is that powerful.
It’s just...
Monster!
……
"He's even more impressive than I imagined, kid."
At some point, Tsukimi-sensei, who had been standing aside all along, actually put down the romance novel she was reading.
He tilted his head slightly, looking at the lone figure bringing up the rear in the distance with admiration.
Upon hearing this, the girl's long-suppressed dissatisfaction and anger instantly found an outlet.
He immediately retorted sarcastically:
"Heh, this person, as a teacher, not only didn't protect his students when they were in danger, but actually hid behind them. How shameless!"
Upon hearing this sarcastic remark, Tsukimi was not angry at all. Instead, a smug smile, almost as if she thought the boy was teachable, appeared on her face.
He casually crossed his legs and swung his toes.
"Shameless? Setsuna, you just don't understand."
Being shameless is actually a very good quality.
Since you call me teacher, I'll just give you a free lesson in the philosophy of life.
Tsukimi glanced at the students around him, whose expressions varied but were mostly filled with anger, and slowly began to speak:
"Take that little devil over there wearing a mask, for example."
A lone figure holding off the beast tide and protecting his companions sounds incredibly cool and impressive, right?
But—
It's this kind of person who habitually shoulders responsibility, the expectations of others, and the so-called "right thing"...
Often, they are the ones who die first.
"It's better to die a glorious, early death than to be surrounded by a crowd of people, grateful and expectant..."
Tsukimi paused, spread her hands, and revealed a smile that was almost shameless and self-righteous.
"What's wrong with choosing to be a 'shameless' person, living a long and uneventful life?"
"Saki-kun... he won't die!"
Liuli, who had been somewhat silent since the beginning, suddenly spoke up.
The girl's usual top student smile was nowhere to be seen at this moment.
She couldn't stand Yuejian's seemingly curse-like words and couldn't hold back.
Huo Mu also spoke up immediately, clenching his fists in rebuttal:
"Tsukimi-sensei, you're wrong!"
Saki-kun...
He is an absolute powerhouse! A genius who will never lose!
Therefore, he is bound to win!
"Heh." Yuejian chuckled, withdrawing her gaze from the distance and returning it to the novel, as if the conversation had just been a boring diversion.
He casually turned to a page, his tone suddenly turning cold:
"That's right, that's how you should think."
Doesn't it make you feel much more relaxed if you think about it this way?
Because there was an absolute powerhouse standing in front of them, because there was a genius who would never lose who shouldered everything...
So you can comfortably dump all the dangers, all the responsibilities, and all the pressures onto his shoulders, and then run away without looking back, right?
You're saying I'm shameless?
As my students, you've learned my shamelessness quite quickly and well.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Huo Mu's cheeks flushed instantly, not with shame, but with anger at being misunderstood and insulted.
"Tsukimi-sensei, I don't agree!"
We are not shirking our responsibilities.
Instead, they were following Saki's instructions!
Here, right now, Saki is the strongest, the most accurate in judgment, and the smartest!
Therefore, our responsibility is to trust him unconditionally and listen to everything he says!
He tells me to run, and I'll run; but if he says I need to stay and fight alongside him, I won't hesitate for even a second!
At this point, perhaps realizing the enormous gap in strength between himself and Saki, Hōki gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"Of course, I probably don't have the right to say such things right now, do I?"
But one day, I will become strong enough!
I'm so powerful that even the strongest of them all, Saki, would need me.
When the time comes, I will shoulder my responsibilities and fight alongside Saki-san!
At this point, Hōki raised his head and looked directly at Tsukimi:
"So, the only one who has truly shirked responsibility from beginning to end is you, teacher."
