Having just finished his shift, the ordinary-looking individuals wore expressions of fatigue, lacking the energy to carefully observe their surroundings. In contrast, Dai Yu Yi appeared more alert, his eyes scanning the area with vigilance.
The leading demon glanced around; even if the ordinary humans were not tired, they could be easily dealt with. However, those wearing Hakama were more challenging to handle. The demons spread out, taking positions in various directions.
Dai Yu Yi placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, sensing that something was amiss, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He looked around but saw no movement. Just as he turned to check another direction, the bushes he had just observed rustled ominously, and three demons lunged toward him.
"Total Concentration Thunder Breathing! Thunder Breathing Second Form! Inazuma!"
Taking a deep breath, he swiftly drew his sword from its sheath and slashed at the three demons in an instant, arcs of lightning crackling along the blade. Since he had attacked without knowing what kind of demons they were, he only managed to sever a few arms and legs; one demon lost its lower half entirely. The remaining three could only muster a pair of hands before they quickly fled.
As he watched them escape, a sense of unease washed over him. Suddenly, a scream pierced the air behind him.
"Ah! There's a demon! Lei, help me!"
Turning around, he saw several demons grabbing hold of a person, biting and dragging them away. The other two individuals wearing Hakama had already awakened during the thunderous attack; after all, Thunder Breathing made quite a noise.
The three exchanged glances and immediately assumed fighting stances, charging toward the direction where the demons had fled. Among them, Lei was the fastest.
Before his sword could fully exit its sheath, arcs of lightning erupted forth.
"Total Concentration Thunder Breathing! Water Breathing First Form! Thunderclap Slash!"
Lei moved like a bolt of lightning through the trees, striking the neck of the demon at the front. Meanwhile, another whirlwind surged toward a different demon.
"Total Concentration Wind Breathing! Water Breathing First Form! Dust Whirlwind Slash!"
This was one of those wearing Hakama—Yuuya.
At the back was Liu Yu, wielding the Water Breathing technique. His physical prowess was not as strong as the other two, yet with a single Water Surface Slash, he managed to take down the last of the demons trailing behind. Having just dispatched three, the remaining demons lunged at the trio.
Caught off guard, only Lei reacted swiftly, evading the demon's attack by moving out of the way. The other two were not so fortunate; they were beset by several demons. As one was repelled, another would immediately take its place, leaving them with scratches.
However, once they regained their composure, both charged outward.
"Total Concentration Wind Breathing! Wu Type! Cold Autumn Mountain Wind!"
Yuuya transformed into a fierce gale, propelling himself forward and injuring a demon that obstructed his path.
"Total Concentration Water Breathing! San Type! Liu Liu Dance!"
Liu Yu became a swift flowing stream, weaving through the demons. Although his speed was not particularly fast, he attempted to strike at a nearby demon's neck; yet it managed to evade his attack.
The demons turned their attention to the three, breathing heavily. The concentrated breathing technique was still taxing for them at this moment. Some ordinary participants they had captured were quietly making their escape.
All those who could utilize a Breathing Technique for rapid movement were doing so.
"Water Breathing! Qi Xing! Water Droplet Ripple Strike!"
Water Breathing proved itself to be the most commonly used and easiest to learn of all Breathing Techniques, with far more practitioners than any other technique.
