Chapter 655: The Scheme of Yuzu Pear and Heize

The Yellow Robe Oracle seemed to sense something, and his expression gradually darkened.

Clang——!!

A crisp sound of a blade rang out from the curtain of rain, as a boy dressed in a blue-gray floral kimono suddenly appeared in mid-air. At his waist, a deep blue long sword was drawn, slicing through the air in an arc, like a crescent moon aimed at the body of the Yellow Robe Oracle.

The Yellow Robe Oracle reacted extremely quickly. He abruptly turned around, and the yellow glow emanating from his body became blinding, transforming into two blazing golden rings of light that circled his wrists, colliding with the long sword that cut through the rain.

He dared to catch half of the 【Misty Eye】 with his bare hands, but he did not dare to grab this 【Rain Collapse】. After all, the destructive power of the former was not on the same level as the latter.

The collision of the light rings and the long sword sent a whirlwind that scattered the rain suspended in the air. The Yellow Robe Oracle stomped his right foot heavily on the ground, creating a massive pit and using the force to send Rain Palace Seihui flying backward.

Seihui’s figure lightly landed on a puddle, creating ripples, and he looked at the Yellow Robe Oracle with a serious expression.

“Number 2 Oracle, ‘Heart Disaster,’” he murmured to himself.

As a wanted criminal of 【Vengeful Ghost】 level, Seihui had a deep understanding of the Oracles. Among the seven Oracles, Number 2, “Heart Disaster,” was the most troublesome. Although he had never faced the opponent directly, he had heard some things about this Oracle from his master.

Years ago, his master had clashed with this Oracle a few times, and in the best-case scenario, they had only managed to reach a stalemate… and his master had also wielded the 【Rain Collapse】 back then.

“Seihui brother…”

Yuzuriha saw Seihui emerge from the rain, executing that magnificent slash, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.

She knew that Shichiya brother was very powerful, but she didn’t expect that Koji brother also had special powers, and even more so, she didn’t expect that Seihui was also a hidden master… In this day and age, if one didn’t have some combat power to face the Oracles, were they even worthy of being a host?

Could it be that everyone in this industry was that strong?!

Seihui turned to glance at her. “You’re not hurt, right?”

“No, I’m fine.”

Seihui nodded slightly and shifted his gaze to Koji, noticing the golden, sheathed long sword in his hand. He was momentarily taken aback, then seemed to understand something, his eyes filled with complexity.

“So, you are the sword soul of 【Misty Eye】.”

Koji smiled helplessly. “It was the sword master who asked me to hide my identity in front of you…”

“You are the sword soul, which means Uncle Kyouji is…”

“Yeah.”

Seihui fell into silence.

【Misty Eye】 was one of the two Katsuji swords once held by Yuzuri Kurotetsu. Since Koji was the sword soul, Yuzuri Kurotetsu’s identity was already clear… the manager of the Black Wutong Club, Uncle Kyouji.

Seihui had met Yuzuri Kurotetsu before, but it was evident that the latter had used the power of 【Misty Eye】 to hypnotize everyone who had seen him, concealing his true appearance and leaving everyone’s impression of him based on “Kyouji.” Even the existence of the Black Wutong Club was not entirely real.

The question then was, did Lin Shichiya, Yuzuriha, and he entering the Black Wutong Club happen by coincidence, or was it…

According to Lin Shichiya, he came to the Black Wutong Club because he encountered the kind-hearted Uncle Kyouji, who was preparing to deliver food to Yuzuriha in a secluded alley in Dotonbori. He was then brought back to the club, and after Lin Shichiya took a shower, Uncle Kyouji was stunned by his beauty, offered him a high salary, and made grand promises, thus keeping Lin Shichiya there, and Yuzuriha followed suit.

If the letter that Hanzawa Tsukasa received was indeed sent by Yuzuri Kurotetsu himself, then Yuzuriha was not involved in the trap he set, and he could not possibly drag his daughter into this dangerous vortex. After he used the power of 【Misty Eye】 to feign death and escape from the Oracle, the trap unfolded, which should only involve Yuzuri Kurotetsu, Hanzawa Tsukasa, the Black Kill Group, and at most, Seihui himself.

However, Hanzawa Tsukasa managed to find Yuzuriha’s whereabouts through the dark lines of the Kazematsuri family and forcibly pulled her into the trap, even bringing along Lin Shichiya, who appeared out of nowhere… If his daughter was dragged into this vortex, Yuzuri Kurotetsu’s instinctive reaction should have been to protect her.

In this way, Lin Shichiya and Yuzuriha’s “coincidental” entry into the Black Wutong Club made perfect sense.

Perhaps when the two of them first entered Osaka, Yuzuri Kurotetsu was already secretly watching them, and even after the Yamazaki Bridge was severed, he followed Yuzuriha all the way to Dotonbori, then pretended to find her by chance and brought her into the club.

For Yuzuri Kurotetsu, keeping his daughter by his side amidst this chaotic situation was the safest option.

Now, as Seihui thought carefully, his own journey into the club seemed too smooth. He received a flyer from the noodle shop owner, went for an interview, and was smoothly retained, even receiving a high salary…

If Yuzuri Kurotetsu didn’t intervene at all during this process, he wouldn’t believe it.

So what was his purpose in doing this?

If the ultimate goal of this trap truly pointed to 【Pure Land】 as the prophecy said, then Yuzuri Kurotetsu’s target should be the same as what Lin Shichiya thought, the fifth of the Katsuji swords, 【Black Rope】.

This sword had always been in the hands of the Hanzawa family, and Hanzawa Tsukasa had been in Tokyo all along. Tokyo lay beneath 【Pure Land】, and Yuzuri Kurotetsu did not dare to act recklessly, so he used a letter to lure Hanzawa Tsukasa to Osaka, setting up a killing trap here.

【Misty Eye】 was not a combat sword. When he released his killing intent, Hanzawa Tsukasa would surely awaken from the hypnosis, activating 【Black Rope】. The battle of the Katsuji swords would inevitably attract the attention of the Oracle, and at that point, the fact that Yuzuri Kurotetsu had feigned death would be discovered. Therefore, he needed to use a sword to kill.

Seihui did not know which swords Yuzuri Kurotetsu planned to use in this trap; perhaps it was the Black Kill Group, or perhaps it was himself… But in any case, his goal should have already been achieved.

As Seihui unraveled the layers of reasoning, the truth gradually surfaced.

So now the question was, where exactly was Yuzuri Kurotetsu?

“Where is he?” Seihui asked Koji.

Koji certainly knew who “he” referred to. “He’s trapped in the mirror world by the Number 6 Oracle and is currently in a fierce battle.”

“Number 6 Oracle?” Seihui frowned slightly. “Yuzuri Kurotetsu has a sword, right?”

“No… He was just about to pick up 【Black Rope】 when he was sealed inside by the Number 6 Oracle. 【Black Rope】 is now in the hands of the Oracle, and he only has my sword sheath with him,” Koji said bitterly.

Seihui fell silent for a moment. “I understand. You go help him… Half of 【Misty Eye】 cannot possibly defeat the Number 6 Oracle.”

“Can you handle Number 2 by yourself?”

“Perhaps not.” Seihui turned to look at Yuzuriha, who stood there in confusion, and slowly spoke, “But I feel that there should be another Katsuji sword master here…”
