The man’s voice was very majestic, but his eyes were sad when he looked at Akeno.
“Uncle …”
With trembling voice, Akeno covered her lips as she looked at the appearing man in disbelief.
Although she has long known that the Himejima Family has been pursuing her, what she did not expect was that it would be this person.
The Himejima family is a long-established Shinto family. Akeno’s mother is also from the main family and she is a priestess of the shrine. The old man in front of them is the elder of Akeno’s mother, her Uncle, and he is also the contemporary family lord of Himejima Family!
Of course, the other practitioners in the yard are also members of the Himejima Family …
Walking towards Akeno, her Uncle suddenly bent down:
“Sorry, my girl, I will not let you escape again.”
“You are the stain that the Himejima Family, we must wash away this stain, do you understand?”
Her Uncle’s voice was painful and sad, and Akeno, who heard the sound became even paler and her figure was crumbling.
She is just regarded as the stain of the Himejima family …
“Akeno, you are you, you are not a stain.” Holding up Akeno, Tenraku looked at the girl’s eyes and spoke softly.
Despite the simple movements and simple words, the originally confused and painful girl gradually calmed down, and the sadness on her face was replaced by a touch of firmness.
Yeah, she is her, not anyone’s stain!
As if growing up a lot in a flash, the girl directly faced the man who was looking toward her, the family lord of Himejima Family, the so-called uncle and then she shouted:
“I want to live!”
“Don’t you understand, even if you can live, your life will only be filled with misfortune and pain.”
Shaking his head, her Uncle seemed very disappointed with Akeno’s answer but Akeno sneered and the last trace of blankness in her eyes disappeared, leaving only the complete coldness.
For the sake of this family reputation, they not only killed her mother but they also wanted to wipe her out completely, this is her so-called clansmen!
However, the more they are like this, the more she wants to live just so that she could spite them!
“You have become stubborn …”
Seeing Akeno’s reaction, her Uncle sighed, and his eyes became fierce and cold.
With a wave of his hand, the practitioners behind her Uncle all pushed forward to surround Tenraku and Akeno.
“Young man, this is a matter for our clan, it has nothing to do with you. Leave if you want to remain alive” Looking at Tenraku holding his sword and standing in front of Akeno, her Uncle said coldly.
“If you want to hurt Akeno, you have to go throw me!”
With a cold smile, Tenraku did not give in and stood in front of him.
“Tenraku …”
Akeno looked at Tenraku’s eyes with endless tenderness, but when he turned to her Uncle, her face became cold and ironic again.
“Humph, let’s get started!”
It seemed that Akeno’s Uncle has lost his patience he no longer hesitated, he gave a command of attack to his subordinates with a snort.
His Spirit Qi surged, and a group of practitioners immediately rushed towards the two. The little Imps rushed out of Akeno’s cuffs while spitting wind and fire and attacked the group of practitioners. The fight has become a mess right from the start.
Looking at each other, Tenraku and Akeno also acted.
Crack…
Akeno condensed two beams of light in her hands, and then she threw them at the group of practitioners. With a dazzling light, the electric light rapidly expanded and continued to flow around, and suddenly the sound of screams rang out throughout the temple.
Tenraku’s eyes were as bright as electricity and determination filled his eyes. He seized the opportunity to rush forward and quickly knocked down a group of practitioners paralyzed by electricity and light.
“Your Thunderlight is already so powerful? If I let you grow, I’m afraid you will surpass me one day sooner or later.”
Looking at the electric light in Akeno’s hands, her Uncle sighed, but in the next moment—
“However, you won’t have the chance to grow!”
The sword in his hand slammed on the ground and a powerful Spirit Power was released from her Uncle’s body. Not only did the electric light become scattered, but Akeno and her few Imps also flew out.
“Akeno!”
With a flash of red in his eyes, Tenraku rushed towards Akeno’s uncle, desperately stirring up the little Spirit Qi inside him.
Qiāng QiāngQiāng Qiāng Qiang! ! ! ! !
In a few moments, the Longsword in Tenraku’s hand had collided with the Sword in Akeno’s Uncle hand for more than a hundred times. Even Tenraku, with his final effort, could only push the other man back by several steps.
“Hā … Hā …”
Tenraku’s hands were shaking as he gasped for air and Akeno’s uncle looked at Tenraku with a little appreciation.
“You have amazing Swordsmanship Abilities.”
He is such a great Swordsman even at this age. This is by no means a talent. It requires a tough will and unimaginable effort.
Although he greatly appreciates Tenraku, the Uncle will not let Tenraku go. The stains of Himejima Family must be wiped out, no one can stop it!
“Young man, take my one move!”
With a loud roar, the thin sword in Akeno’s Uncle hand flashed and then pierced in Tenraku’s direction.
As the attack came, Tenraku could only resist this attack by his sword, but the next moment, Tenraku felt a great force pushing him and the Longsword in his hand broke off, and the whole person flew out towards the rear.
“Tenraku !!!”
After just easing up and crawling off the ground, Akeno saw Tenraku’s scene of being shot and flew out of the air. He suddenly lost his face and ran towards Tenraku desperately.
“Tenraku, sorry … sorry … sorry …”
Tenraku, who was smashed to the ground, lifted himself up. The girl had burst into tears, and her expression was full of endless guilt and distress.
“Akeno, don’t cry, I’m fine …”
Stroking the girl’s forehead, Tenraku wanted to smile to comfort the girl, but bright red blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
“Akeno, give up on struggling, everything is over.”
Looking at Tenraku and Akeno, her Uncle’s face was filled with complex expressions. The other practitioners also restored their ability to move one after another and stood behind Akeno’s Uncle and stared at them indifferently.
“Kill me if you want to kill, don’t hurt Tenraku anymore!” Looking at Tenraku struggling behind him, the girl shouted pitifully.
“I can promise you this request. So—”
“Farewell, Girl.”
He lifted the sword in his hand and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes but it was eventually replaced with a touch of firmness.
The stains of the Himejima Family must be removed!
The sword fell with a roaring wind, and when Tenraku was about to push Akeno out of the way, a voice filled with Magic Power sounded out in the area:
“Stop!”
The sword stopped in midair and a bright red figure of the girl walked in from outside.
Tenraku finally breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the girl who came in.
You finally come–
Rias Gremory!
