The two Kairagi looked at Arataki Itto, who had suddenly jumped out, with utterly confused expressions.
"Who are you?"
"Are you from the Tenryou Commission?"
The Kairagi sized up Arataki Itto, frowning as they spoke.
By all accounts, the Tenryou Commission shouldn't have been able to find this place.
"Hahaha, what Tenryou Commission?"
"Listen up! I am the great boss of the Arataki Gang, Arataki Itto!"
Arataki Itto laughed loudly as he faced the Kairagi.
"If you're smart, you'll release her right now!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for getting rough!"
Arataki Itto bumped his fists together, frowning as he spoke.
"What Arataki Gang?"
"Never heard of it. Take care of him!"
The purple and red Kairagi shouted to those behind them.
Immediately, several ronin charged toward Arataki Itto!
They raised their swords and brought them down.
Arataki Itto watched the approaching ronin with a frown.
He quickly dodged to the side, evading the sword strike, then threw a punch.
The ronin hurriedly protected his chest with his arm.
Bang!
The ronin was pushed back several meters by the punch.
"Such great strength!"
The ronin looked at Arataki Itto in shock.
"Now you know how amazing I am."
Arataki Itto proudly replied to the astonished ronin.
"Attack together!"
Immediately, five or six ronin charged toward Arataki Itto.
At that moment, Qiu Bai walked out and smiled at the approaching ronin.
"Another one has appeared."
Several ronin looked at the frail-looking scholar who had emerged, their eyes gleaming with malice as they raised their swords and swung them down at Qiu Bai.
They looked as if they intended to cut Qiu Bai down.
"So you actually want to take my life."
Seeing this, Qiu Bai frowned slightly, surprised that these people were so vicious.
Suddenly, Qiu Bai eyes emitted a faint glow as he stared at the ronin before him.
Clang.
"You, you..."
The ronin, frightened by Qiu Bai gaze, dropped their swords to the ground.
They had just felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression, their bodies covered in cold sweat as they stared at Qiu Bai, unable to speak.
"Step aside, you cowards."
"A weak, skinny pretty boy without even a Vision scares you this much?"
The two Kairagi walked over, looking at the stunned ronin with disgust.
"No, no, boss..."
"This, this guy is strange..."
The ronin glanced at Qiu Bai, then turned around, sweating as they tried to explain to the Kairagi.
"Hahaha, such cowards!"
"Just one look from my brother and you're already like this."
Arataki Itto stood beside Qiu Bai, patting his shoulder and mocking the ronin.
"Strange?"
"How strange? Let me see for myself."
Hearing this, the two Kairagi smiled disdainfully and drew the swords at their waists as they faced Qiu Bai.
As the purple Kairagi drew his sword, Electro energy gathered on the blade.
The red Kairagi, needless to say, channeled Pyro energy.
The two Kairagi raised their tachi swords, assumed their stances, and stared at Qiu Bai.
"Brother Qiu Bai, be careful."
"These two are strong. Even when I had my Vision, I would have had to put in some effort."
Arataki Itto frowned as he watched the two Kairagi and warned Qiu Bai.
He also assumed his stance, facing the two Kairagi.
"Hehe."
"Don't worry, Brother Itto."
Qiu Bai smiled at this and waved dismissively.
Then Qiu Bai looked at the two Kairagi and smiled slightly.
With a slight movement of his fingertip, the two Kairagi were instantly pressed to the ground by a terrifying pressure!
"Argh!"
The two Kairagi struggled desperately, but no matter how they struggled, they couldn't stand up.
"This is impossible."
"What did you do?!"
The Kairagi moved his head with difficulty and looked at Qiu Bai through gritted teeth, speaking with great effort.
"Run, run!"
"We've encountered a ghost!"
The surrounding ronin, seeing the Kairagi pressed to the ground, shouted urgently.
They turned to flee in all directions!
"Run?"
"Where do you think you're running to?"
Qiu Bai extended one hand, and instantly, the ronin were pulled together by an immense force.
With a slight movement of his fingertip, vines descended from the trees and tightly bound the ronin together!
"As for you two..."
Qiu Bai walked up to the two Kairagi, crouched down, and murmured.
"Spare us!"
"We'll never do bad things again, please, please..."
The Kairagi pressed to the ground begged through gritted teeth.
"Just now, you wanted to kill me, didn't you?"
"In that case..."
A dangerous light flashed in Qiu Bai's eyes.
"Brother Qiu Bai!"
"Hand these people over to the Tenryou Commission."
Seeing this, Arataki Itto ran over and quickly stopped Qiu Bai, persuading him.
"Hehe, then I'll listen to Brother Itto."
"Let the law punish these people."
Qiu Bai smiled at this, stood up, and spoke to Arataki Itto.
He then waved his hand, releasing the pressure on the Kairagi.
The Kairagi were covered in cold sweat, their legs trembling.
As if they had experienced something terrifying, they took a deep breath.
Then, like the ronin, they were bound together by Qiu Bai.
"I have to say, Brother Qiu Bai."
"You're too amazing. You took care of these people in no time at all."
Arataki Itto looked at the smiling Qiu Bai in shock.
Qiu Bai methods had left him dumbfounded.
"It's nothing."
"These are just magic techniques passed down from my ancestors."
Qiu Bai smiled and waved his hand, explaining to Arataki Itto beside him.
"Oh~"
"So that's how it is..."
After listening, Arataki Itto nodded and murmured.
"Oh right, the little girl!"
Arataki Itto seemed to remember something and ran to the cage.
Using all his strength, he pried open the wooden cage and rescued the little girl.
"I want my mommy!"
The little girl walked out of the cage, crying.
"It's okay, don't cry, don't cry."
"Look at big brother."
Arataki Itto, seeing the crying little girl, quickly made several funny faces.
"Hahaha."
"Big brother is so funny."
The little girl laughed at Arataki Itto funny faces, and her tears stopped.
"No more crying, no more crying."
"Soon, we'll take you to find your mommy."
Arataki Itto patted the little girl's head, then stood up.
"Brother Qiu Bai, with so many people,"
"How are we going to take them to the Tenryou Commission?"
Arataki Itto turned around and asked Qiu Bai with some confusion.
