Under the night sky, the purple water flow and the red flames collided continuously, and the two moved extremely fast. Even so, Su Yu, who had opened his Sharingan, could see their movements clearly.

"Breath of Water·Shape of Land·Twisting Vortex!"

"Breath of Fire, Form of Four, Uzumaki of Shengyan!"

With another collision of breathing techniques, the originally evenly matched situation changed. One of Hiiragi Yuan's arms was chopped off by Purgatory Xinbei. He wanted to take this opportunity to directly chop off the opponent's head, but failed.

Hiiragi Yuan used the blood ghost technique in time to avoid the fatal blow from Purgatory Xinbei. However, he escaped this time, but will it happen again next time?

The two of them fought for more than an hour at a time. Logically speaking, Purgatory Xinbei's physical strength should have been exhausted long ago, but he used breathing techniques to reduce his physical consumption to a minimum, so he was able to maintain an even match.

, and even occupy some advantageous situations.

There is still nearly half an hour before dawn. If the fight continues like this, Hiiragi Abyss may not lose to Purgatory New Taipei, but the rising sun will burn him to ashes.

Moreover, who knows if the Demon Slayer Corps has sent other pillars to support him? Just one pillar is enough trouble. If two pillars come at the same time, will he still have a way to survive?

Therefore, Hiiragi Yuan's best choice now is to escape quickly. However, escaping from under the nose of Purgatory New Taipei is not an easy task. He must use some less than honorable means.

Looking around with his eyes, he finally selected Hiiragi Shirin as his target, because he was the weakest person on the field, and using him to attract Purgatory New Taipei's attention would be a very good choice.

"Vampire Art·Water Pattern Rotation!"

He launched the blood ghost technique without any hesitation. Purgatory Xinbei originally thought that the target of his attack was himself, so he put on a defensive posture. However, what he didn't expect was that the moment the blood ghost technique was formed, Hiiragi Yuan actually instantly attacked him.

The target switched to Hiiragi Shirin not far away.

A horizontal vortex of water shot out like an electric drill. Faced with this sudden attack, Hiiragi Shanlin was not prepared for it. By the time he reacted and tried to use his sword skills to defend himself, it was already too late.

A strong sense of fear surged into my heart at this moment. Hiiragi Shanlin, holding the Nichirin Sword, stood motionless, as if he had lost the ability to move.

At this critical moment, Purgatory Xinbei, who was the first to react, stepped out. His body turned into a blazing bolt of lightning and moved forward rapidly. In an instant, he flashed in front of Hiiragi Shanlin and faced off against the whirlpool of water.

"Breath of Fire, Form of Four, Uzumaki of Shengyan!"

After a low cry, Purgatory Xinbei swung his sword horizontally, and a spiral of flame slashes suddenly appeared in the air.

When the flame slash came into contact with the water vortex, the two powerful energies suddenly reacted violently, like an out-of-control machine, constantly bursting out sparks.

As the two energies gradually dissolved, the crisis was finally resolved. However, when Purgatory New Taipei's sight returned, they found that Hiiragi Abyss had already escaped to a far away location.

It was definitely too late to pursue him, so Purgatory Xinbei could only give up. Although he failed to kill Hiiragi Juyuan, he saved Su Yu and Hiiragi Shanlin. This incident alone was enough to make him proud.

"It's a bit of a pity that that guy escaped." Purgatory Xinbei put away the Sun Blade, and the next second, his mood suddenly rose, "But it doesn't matter! Even if you don't succeed this time, there will definitely be a next time!

It won’t be too late to kill him then!”

After saying that, he turned to look at Su Yu and Hiiragi Shanlin: "You two are very good. I recognize your strength, so please become my stepson."

The stepson is a team member trained by Zhu himself. If you want to be qualified, you must be recognized by Zhu himself. Otherwise, no matter how hard you beg, the other party will not agree to you.

"What a resemblance..." Su Yu stared at the back of Purgatory Xinbei. Although they were not from the same era, he was so similar to Purgatory Xingjulang. Whether it was appearance or personality, they were carved from the same mold.

But... let's forget about being a stepson. Su Yu doesn't need it, so he shook his head and responded: "Sorry, I don't really want to be your stepson."

Hearing this answer, Purgatory Xinbei was not angry: "Really? Since you said so, I won't force you."

"So, where is this young man? Do you intend to become my stepson?" His copper bell-like eyes stared at Hiiragi Shanlin, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Of course he knew how rare it was to become Zhu's stepson, but what should I say... he always felt a little resistant to it.

"You should be a child of the Hiiragi family. I have met your father. I wonder how your uncle is doing now?" The topic in Purgatory New Taipei suddenly changed, which surprised Hiiragi Shanlin.

Ever since the Hiiragi Abyss turned into a ghost and killed most of the direct clan members of the Hiiragi family, the Hiiragi family, which was originally rich in water pillars, was completely transformed overnight, and was even expelled from the Demon Slayer Corps as a shame.

At that time, the head of the Hiiragi family was killed. As his only heir, Hiiragi Shanlin's father was ordered to take over as the head of the Hiiragi family.

He was determined to kill Hiiragi Yuan and wash away the shame of the Hiiragi family, and vowed to return the Hiiragi family to the Demon Slayer Corps sooner or later.

In order to achieve this goal, he practiced sword skills day and night, but the result was counterproductive. Because of the excessive training, he suffered from a serious disease and completely lost the ability to hold a sword and fight.

Knowing that he could not achieve the goal he had set, he could only place all his hopes on Hiiragi Shanlin. But the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Hiiragi Shanlin was no match for Hiiragi Ayuan, at least for now.

That's right.

Ghosts have infinite growth potential, but their growth rate is not as fast as humans. Hiiragi Shirin may surpass Hiiragi Abyss in the next few years, or he may be killed by other ghosts before then.

If he has a better training environment, his strength will definitely grow faster. Therefore, becoming the stepson of Purgatory Xinbei is his best choice now, if he regards killing Hiiragi Yuan as his goal.

"My father is suffering from a serious illness and can no longer hold a knife to fight evil spirits. However, his body is not seriously injured, but his mental state is not as good as before."

"I see. I have only met that senior twice, but his spirit of vowing to wash away the shame of the family deeply attracted me. Although this request is a bit unreasonable, I still hope that you can become my stepson."
