Whoosh!
The powerful bow and arrow shot without hesitation. As if by command, it flew before finished speaking.
Kotaro looked on with fury, twisted his body, and swung his sword with a sharp whistle.
Twang! Sparks flew. The slash sliced Daisy’s arrow into two.
Jack’s pupil constricted and was terrified. Could the capabilities of two killers who were just two positions apart on the Azrael list be so different? He had personally experienced Daisy’s archery skills. But now Daisy’s arrows were split by Kotaro!
“Die!” After splitting the arrows, Kotaro tossed a smoke bomb and he dashed like a devil with the sword towards Daisy.
“Careful, Daisy!” Jack’s expression changed drastically and wanted to get up to help but he grunted due to his intense pain and sat back down on the ground.
In the dark bamboo forest, the leaves continued to scatter and drift down as Daisy remained calm and steady. She retreated steadily as Kotaro advanced towards her and then started shooting arrows at him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Three arrows were shot in succession.
It was as if Kotaro had anticipated it and his sword easily blocked the arrows. This difference in skills level caused Jack’s heart to sink. If Kotaro were to get close to Daisy, then her arrows would be useless. And Kotaro’s close-quarters fighting was devilishly ruthless. In fact, it looked even more effective and deadly than Brent’s skills. It would be deadly if Daisy were to fight directly with him.
Kotaro was very swift and rushed towards Daisy through the falling leaves. His entire body exuded the determination to kill them like those ninjas seen in the movies.
His lofty laughter could be heard from under his mask, “Mengpo, you’ll be dead when I get close to you!”
In the blink of an eye, Kotaro rushed in front of Daisy and his katana glimmered and whistled and swung towards Daisy’s abdomen. Daisy was shocked and immediately used the strong bow to block.
Thud! The strong impact pushed Daisy back several steps. Kotaro didn’t give Daisy any chance and swung his sword again. His katana was like a ghost and whistled as it swung towards Daisy. The reality was as Jack had anticipated. Daisy’s close-quarters fighting skills were nowhere close to Kotaro’s level. She could only use the strong bow to block and totally could not retaliate. She kept retreating and could lose out at any moment.
Although Daisy kept her cool and looked composed, terror could be seen in her eyes. Defeat could be just a moment away. When facing Kotaro’s deadly slashes, any failure to block one would mean instant death!
Twang!
The Katana impacted firmly onto the strong bow. The strong impact almost knocked the strong bow from Daisy’s hands. Daisy yelled with the impact and staggered backward.
Just at this moment.
Slash! The Katana swung towards Daisy’s neck.
That was it! Daisy’s eyes glared and her face went pale. She looked beyond the cold katana blade and could see the ridicule in Kotaro’s eyes.
Whoosh! It was a close shave. The katana which was going towards Daisy’s neck was suddenly deflected upwards.
