Yue Hengyi fell asleep on the table. Although he only drank some rice wine, the rice wine had a strong aftereffect. Most people would get drunk after a few bowls. It wasn't high in alcohol content and was fragrant and mellow, but once drunk, it was difficult to wake up.
However, Yue Hengyi suddenly felt the urge to urinate. It was probably due to drinking too much, so he reluctantly woke up. He didn't want to wet the bed in his sleep.
"Huh? Where did everyone go? They were just here!" Yue Hengyi lifted his head from the table and looked around, but saw nothing. The large house was empty except for him.
Yue Hengyi didn't think much of it. The other two had left, likely because he was drunk, and they didn't want to disturb him, so they had left.
"Damn it, where's the restroom? I'll go ask!" Yue Hengyi walked out the door, but suddenly remembered a serious problem: he didn't seem to know where the restroom was.
Wandering around the temple, unable to find the restroom, Yue Hengyi couldn't hold it any longer. He saw a secluded corner, walked over, unzipped his pants, and started to relieve himself.
But at that moment, a cold wind blew, and Yue Hengyi couldn't help but shiver. Half of his shoes were instantly soaked. He sobered up considerably and looked around. To his surprise, he saw several dark figures fall from the distant wall. The corner was quite secluded, and Yue Hengyi was not discovered.
"These people broke in in the middle of the night, are they trying to steal something? These petty thieves are too disrespectful, stealing even from a temple!" Yue Hengyi muttered.
Yue Hengyi thought that since he had seen the thieves, he must warn the abbot and the young monks in the temple. He couldn't let them be unaware, especially since the abbot had helped him before, and he couldn't stand by and watch them suffer.
So, Yue Hengyi immediately walked towards the main hall. He couldn't find anyone, only candles were still burning. Rats were brazenly eating offerings on the altar. When Yue Hengyi appeared, the rats immediately scattered, not daring to appear before humans at all.
"No one is here either, could they be living in the backyard?" Yue Hengyi guessed and then walked towards the backyard.
But as he approached, Yue Hengyi smelled blood and immediately felt that something was wrong. Why would there be a smell of blood in a perfectly fine temple? When he entered the backyard, he saw that the entire backyard was filled with corpses. The abbot and the young monks from before had all fallen to the ground, blood flowing everywhere. Three men were wiping their blades in the courtyard.
"You bastards, stealing is one thing, but now you dare to kill people, unforgivable!" Yue Hengyi was furious. He had great respect for the abbot who had patiently guided him, and now the abbot was dead, which immediately enraged him.
Seeing Yue Hengyi appear, the three men couldn't help but show contemptuous smiles. Then they spoke in Japanese, "I thought this coward had escaped, but it seems this guy is simply courting death, seeing us here and not running away!"
After speaking, the three men charged directly at Yue Hengyi, raising their samurai swords high.
Yue Hengyi remained silent and immediately unleashed his five-times gravity field. Instantly, the charging trio was pinned to the ground. As long as they were within the gravity field, Yue Hengyi was almost invincible, and he feared no number of enemies.
"You shall all die here. You have committed endless sins by killing so many innocent people!" Yue Hengyi said directly.
However, at that moment, white bones emerged from the body of a young man wearing a kimono. These bones gradually formed a suit of armor. With the support of the armor, the young man could barely resist the gravity and slowly stood up, continuing to charge at Yue Hengyi.
Yue Hengyi didn't expect the opponent to be able to stand up in the gravity field. He had thought they were just a few reckless petty thieves, but now it seemed that was not the case at all. The three of them were likely esper users!
The young man in armor, who was charging forward, said nothing more. His esper ability was to control bones. With strong bones as support, he could completely resist the gravity and move. Moreover, he was wearing bone armor, which also provided support.
As the samurai charged forward, he immediately swung his samurai sword. A cold light flashed through the air. If one was not careful, they would be cut by the cold light.
Yue Hengyi quickly dodged, but the effects of the alcohol kicked in. While dodging the samurai sword, Yue Hengyi lost his balance and fell directly to the ground. As he was dazed, the samurai swung his sword again and charged at him.
Yue Hengyi regretted it deeply. He wished he hadn't drunk any alcohol. Now that he was suddenly attacked, he felt his steps were unsteady even when trying to escape.
Facing the samurai's fierce attacks, the speed of his long sword increased with each strike. Yue Hengyi had no choice but to use the "lazy donkey roll." This move was not elegant, but its effect was obvious. As long as I keep rolling, you can't attack me.
After all, within the gravity field, Yue Hengyi was unaffected by gravity, but others were not so lucky. The samurai's sword swings became slower and slower, and his breathing gradually became ragged.
After rolling for more than ten meters, Yue Hengyi finally stopped. He was covered in dust, and his once clean clothes were all dirty. He stood up unsteadily and muttered to himself, "A wise man knows when to retreat. I'll go find Brother Feng and ask him for help!"
However, at that moment, Yue Hengyi suddenly felt a pain in his left leg, immediately losing his balance and falling to the ground again. He looked down and saw a bloody hole in his left calf. Blood was constantly flowing from his calf, and the intense pain made Yue Hengyi miserable.
"You are so despicable, using firearms! Shameless!" Yue Hengyi couldn't help but curse. He saw two people lying on the ground pulling out pistols and aiming at him.
Yue Hengyi realized that the samurai in the anime were fake. Who said they only used swords? Now they were using guns!
"Go to hell, I'll send you to see Buddha!" The samurai in armor charged forward, swinging his sword to finish Yue Hengyi.
In desperation, Yue Hengyi could only perform the "lazy donkey roll" again, continuing to roll away. He gradually realized that rolling on the ground made it less likely to be shot, as lying on the ground reduced the target area, and in the five-times gravity field, bullets were also easily deflected.
Yue Hengyi rolled not far from the courtyard, but he had just eaten and hadn't digested everything yet. Rolling around randomly now made his stomach churn. After rolling for two minutes, Yue Hengyi got up and vomited.
"Ugh..." Yue Hengyi vomited the contents of his stomach and felt much better. His mind also cleared up a bit, but his steps were still unsteady, and it was still difficult to fight esper users.
"Die!" Suddenly, a samurai lying on the ground shot out several steel nails from his body, pinning both of Yue Hengyi's feet and fixing him firmly to the ground. Now, Yue Hengyi could no longer perform the "lazy donkey roll." With his feet nailed to the ground, the piercing pain made him completely unable to move.
"Damn it, three against one is unfair! If you have the guts, come at me one by one!" Yue Hengyi felt his life was in danger and could only vent his anger before dying.
However, these people ignored what Yue Hengyi was saying. The samurai charging in the front swung his sword and rushed forward, preparing to kill Yue Hengyi.
At the critical moment, a gust of wind blew, and a figure from a distance rushed over at extreme speed. Without a word, he kicked out. The armored samurai didn't expect anyone to appear there, and the opponent's speed was too fast for him to defend. He was kicked directly in the chest and sent flying.
Yue Hengyi looked up and saw Shen Feng, dressed in a loose yukata, appear. Blood was flowing on Shen Feng's leg. Under the moonlight, Shen Feng's face was firm, holding a long sword in one hand and a basket in the other.
"Brother Feng, you're finally here! I was almost killed!" Yue Hengyi felt like he was seeing a relative when Shen Feng appeared, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Shen Feng pointed to his exposed thighs and said, "See these wounds? They're all your fault! If it weren't for you! I wouldn't have been entangled by thorns!"
Yue Hengyi didn't understand. How was Shen Feng's injury related to him?
At this time, the samurai who was kicked away stood up again. He looked down and saw a muddy footprint on his chest, which looked very comical. Although he took a kick, he was not injured at all.
Shen Feng could not move in the gravity field, but since Shen Feng was a wind esper, he wrapped himself in strong winds, using the winds to resist the gravity and increase his speed. Although he ran barefoot for hundreds of meters, his feet were not injured at all.
"Brother Feng, quickly, my feet are nailed down, help me!" Yue Hengyi couldn't help but say to Shen Feng, "Help me pull out the nails, and I'll help you fight!"
Shen Feng looked down and saw two rusty nails in Yue Hengyi's feet, driven into the stone slabs. He had to bend down, grip the nail heads with his hands, and pull them out with force. This operation naturally caused another unforgettable pain.
"Hiss," Yue Hengyi gasped, feeling like his feet were no longer his own. The continuous pain stimulated the secretion of adrenaline, making him much more alert in this situation.
"Bang bang..." While Shen Feng was pulling out the nails for Yue Hengyi, someone fired from a distance. However, Shen Feng was protected by the "Wind King Barrier," and the bullets were blocked by the barrier as soon as they were fired. The power of a handgun was inherently inferior to that of a rifle, unless it was a large caliber. Handguns used for assassination could not break through Shen Feng's defense.
"The battle is over, and you still have to suffer. I will stuff alcohol-soaked cotton into your wounds for thorough disinfection. You'll have to endure this pain!" Shen Feng said directly.
Yue Hengyi endured the pain of having the nails pulled out and gritted his teeth, saying, "Can I not disinfect it?"
"If you want to die, then don't disinfect it. Your resistance is weaker than that of ordinary people, and now you've been nailed by rusty nails. You're very likely to get tetanus. Be careful not to die!" Shen Feng said mercilessly.
Next, Shen Feng pulled out the nails from Yue Hengyi's other foot. Yue Hengyi was finally able to move freely, but both his feet were pierced through, and Yue Hengyi couldn't even walk.
"Little Yue, where's your weapon? Lend it to me!" Shen Feng asked Yue Hengyi. The only one who could threaten him now was the samurai holding a samurai sword and wearing armor. Shen Feng felt that his陨铁 long sword might not be useful, as it couldn't cut through iron like mud, and Yue Hengyi's 亢龙锏 would be more effective.
"I left it in the room, in that brightly lit room over there. I forgot to bring it out when I went to relieve myself," Yue Hengyi quickly said.
"I'll leave my sword with you, hold on! I'll go get the weapon!" Shen Feng didn't say much more, handed the long sword to Yue Hengyi, and then rushed towards the room with the light.
Yue Hengyi was stunned. He was drunk now and couldn't move his feet. Asking him to resist three esper users in this situation was too much!
Unfortunately, Yue Hengyi had no room to maneuver, as the person holding the samurai sword in the distance had already charged forward, and the two guys on the ground were not dead yet, still aiming and firing.
"Clang," the samurai charged forward and swung his sword down. Yue Hengyi had no choice but to block it with the long sword held horizontally in front of his chest.
