Raiden Ei looked at the Green-haired Man who had been sent flying by her and was still struggling on the ground to get up: "Come on! This is the final blow." The demon blade zanmian in her hand was once again infused with Armament Haki.
The Green-haired Man stood up from the ground, one of the sharp claws on his hand broken. He turned to look at Raiden Ei: "Today, we brothers are unlucky, and we overestimated ourselves. Come on!" Tonight, they were just doing what they always did, who knew they would kick an iron plate? Or perhaps they hadn't encountered setbacks in too long, and had forgotten how they survived when they were weak.
The Green-haired Man began to rush forward recklessly, his steps pounding the ground, causing the floor to crack. His figure sped towards Raiden Ei, his sharp claws already poised and ready.
Raiden Ei saw that the Green-haired Man was determined to die. She stepped forward, and the distance between them rapidly closed. In just an instant, the short distance between them was crossed.
"Ahhh! Die!" The Green-haired Man roared, his sharp claws, emitting a cold gleam, aimed straight for Raiden Ei's chest. He put all his strength into this one strike; he was unwilling to die just like this.
Raiden Ei suddenly accelerated as she approached the Green-haired Man, swinging the demon blade zanmian in her hand. The sound of it cutting through the air was as piercing as the Green-haired Man's roar.
The two weapons clashed, and instantly the sharp claws were severed. The demon blade zanmian also pierced through the Green-haired Man's body. Raiden Ei appeared behind him, her demon blade zanmian unstained by a single drop of blood, still smooth as a mirror, radiating a chilling light.
The Green-haired Man's body fell to the ground due to inertia, blood streaming from his mouth. He was clearly not far from death, still muttering something.
The few nobles who had been watching from the opposite street, seeing that the battle was over and the two men were dead, with only the beautiful woman remaining, excitedly ordered their armed subordinates behind them: "Quickly, go capture her! Don't kill her, just wound her!"
"Yes, Duke!" A dozen big men, as if brainless, obeyed the commands of the nobles and rushed towards Raiden Ei with their firearms.
Raiden Ei was about to sheath her sword when her Observation Haki sensed someone approaching. She turned to see a group of people rushing towards her with firearms, their malicious intent clearly directed at her.
Raiden Ei's eyes grew cold. She said, "Fools who don't know their place. Since you also wish to die, I shall send you on your way."
The demon blade zanmian, still unsheathed, was swung in a direct horizontal slash. A Flying Slash instantly erupted from the blade, cutting towards this group of people. A slash without any reservations, its power was naturally not to be underestimated.
The slash arrived in an instant, leaving those who hadn't had time to react with only expressions of horror as they watched the slash pass through their bodies, killing them along with the nobles. She had seen those people shouting the loudest.
Raiden Ei looked around. Not even ten minutes had passed since the battle began, and dispatching this group of people was just a single sword strike. Now she wanted to see if anyone else dared to jump out and disgust her: "Does anyone else have business with me?"
The people around immediately stirred. An old man who had been watching the battle nearby walked out, but he didn't dare to be too arrogant. He could tell that this Damselette, though she didn't look old, was a true swordsman capable of using a Flying Slash.
He had run a Kendo Hall for decades and had yet to reach the realm of using a Flying Slash, which is to say, a swordsman. This showed just how strong this Damselette's power was.
The old man walked steadily to Raiden Ei, smiling: "Hehehe, Miss truly has great skill. To reach the realm of a swordsman at such a young age. My name is Fellaf, and I am the owner of a Kendo Hall. I wonder if Miss would be willing to spar with me?"
Raiden Ei saw that everyone else had left except for this old man. She sized him up: not tall, not robust, no different from an ordinary old man. He wore cloth clothes and had a Musou Isshin hanging at his waist. Aside from being very spirited and having a strong presence, there was nothing else remarkable about him.
Raiden Ei sheathed her demon blade zanmian. This old man had no ill intentions, and she also wanted to chat with him. A Kendo Hall owner, was it that Kendo Hall? She put away the cold expression she had while fighting, but her expression remained faint, as if she didn't care about anything: "My name is Raiden Ei. Is the Kendo Hall you mentioned the most famous one in this kingdom?"
Fellaf didn't mind Raiden Ei's attitude and still smiled: "Precisely! If Raiden Ei Miss doesn't mind, you are welcome to visit."
Raiden Ei: "I will. As for sparring, let's do it tomorrow! It's too late now."
Fellaf: "Alright, then tomorrow. But regarding the situation here, can Raiden Ei Miss handle it yourself?"
Raiden Ei understood what Fellaf was referring to with a thought and said directly: "What's there to handle? Just kill anyone who comes looking for trouble."
Fellaf was choked. It was his first time seeing someone so arrogant, but for his goal, he still advised: "It's not always about fighting to solve problems."
Raiden Ei was very puzzled. In all the days she had been in this world, this old man was the first person to say that killing was wrong: "Once you pick up a weapon, you must be prepared to die. I will show no mercy to those who attack me."
Fellaf... Was I telling you not to kill? I was talking about human relations. Forget it, I'll just say it directly: "Raiden Ei Miss, you wouldn't want to be constantly harassed in this country, would you? How about I help you resolve the situation here? You just killed several great nobles. If you don't handle it properly, people will come looking for you very soon."
Raiden Ei was a little disbelieving: "You!"
Fellaf: "Hehe, after all, I've been running a Kendo Hall here for decades, so I do have some influence."
Raiden Ei wouldn't believe this old man; there must be a price. She asked directly: "What price do I need to pay?"
If it was too excessive, she would just kill this old man and leave. She was starting to doubt if there were any normal people left in this world; her worldview had become a bit twisted since coming here.
Fellaf's smile grew wider as he quickly said: "Hehe, there's no price needed, just tell me how one can become a swordsman."
Raiden Ei felt this request was a bit excessive and directly refused: "I've only just become a swordsman myself not long ago, so as for what you're asking about becoming a swordsman, I'm afraid I cannot do it!"
Fellaf explained with a pleading look: "Raiden Ei Miss, I know it's difficult to become a swordsman, otherwise I wouldn't have practiced the sword for decades and still be just a sword user.
I hope you can share some experience with me and spar for a few days. I want to fulfill my lifelong dream in the last few years of my life."
