Upon hearing this, Emma's expression turned strange, and she directly refused, saying, "I'm afraid I can't help with this matter. No one in Ashina is a match for Shura."
Qin Jie shook his head, "There is."
He pointed to himself, "Right here."
Emma was slightly taken aback, then a faint hint of anger appeared on her face, "Mr. Qin, please stop joking."
Not long ago, she had fought with Qin Jie. Although Qin Jie indeed had some strength, he was somewhat disheveled even when facing her with a severed arm. Now he was saying he wanted to challenge Shura. How was this any different from seeking death?
Tsk, why couldn't she understand him?
"It doesn't matter. You just need to tell Genichiro that I intend to seize Immortal Severance. Then, you can all observe from a distance. If I die, you run. How about that?"
This... Emma was silent for a moment. "Mr. Qin, I don't wish to see you die."
Qin Jie almost laughed in exasperation. "Can't you wish me well? Alright, you go inform Genichiro. Oh, and remember to tell him that I only want the red Immortal Severance."
"Within four hours, I hope to hear Genichiro's reply. I trouble you with this," Qin Jie requested.
Emma looked deeply at Qin Jie, then sighed, "I understand."
Then, she opened the cellar door and walked out.
Qin Jie remained quietly in the darkness, then pondered what he should do next.
The red Immortal Severance could obtain the Sakura Dragon's Tears and also slay bug attachment, but Qin Jie estimated that drawing this thing would require a lot of vitality. He wondered if he could withstand it.
As for the black Immortal Severance, it was Opening Gate. Qin Jie knew that with Genichiro's stubborn nature, his craving for the black Immortal Severance was unparalleled.
Because the black Immortal Severance could summon the deceased, the strongest in Ashina, Isshin Ashina, by sacrificing oneself.
Qin Jie's goal was obvious. He not only wanted to seize the red Immortal Severance but also to deliver the black Immortal Severanceinto Genichiro's hands. Whether he used it or not would no longer be Qin Jie's problem.
However, the other party would probably wait until Qin Jie had dispelled the Shura's immortal state before summoning Isshin.
Qin Jie waited quietly in the darkness. About three hours later, Emmaopened the cellar door again and said, "Lord Genichiro, he agreed. He promised that if you can defeat Shura and seize Immortal Severance, he will help you suppress Shura."
It was as Qin Jie expected.
"I understand."
"Then let's not waste any time. I'll go find Shura now. Do you have any information on Shura's location?"
Emma knew she couldn't dissuade Qin Jie. Since things had come to this, she could only say, "Shura is at the castle gate, fending off the Ministry army."
Then, she handed Qin Jie a package. "Inside are some medicines. I hope, Mr. Qin, you take care."
Qin Jie took the package and saw that it contained various types of supplies. The majority were pills, along with two extremely precious God-devouring items, and medicinal powder for healing fire wounds, among others.
"---Thank you."
---At dusk, the wind and snow outside the castle were somewhat weaker than before, but sporadic snowflakes still fell under the dim light of the setting sun. Ashina Castle at this time looked particularly desolate and dilapidated.
Qin Jie looked up and saw towering flames already burning in the distance, as if a second sun had risen far away. Qin Jie gripped the sword in his hand, then walked towards the direction of the flames.
Emma stopped, then bowed deeply to Qin Jie.
"Shura is ahead, Mr. Qin. I can only accompany you this far. If you truly manage to suppress Shura later, Lord Genichiro will bring people to support you."
"I understand."
Qin Jie nodded, then walked towards the burning flames.
The wind began to carry the wails from afar. The further he walked, the clearer the wails became. Not only that, but the air also carried the stench of bodies burning in flames.
For some reason, Qin Jie's heart began to feel inexplicably irritated. Looking at the towering Flames of Hatred, he always felt a beast roaring in his heart, seemingly urging him to kill.
[Detected entry into the burning range of Flames of Hatred. One layer of Demonfall Mark has been stacked.]
[Demonfall Mark is a negative effect of Flames of Hatred. The maximum number of Demonfall Marks a Hunter can withstand is determined by willpower.]
[Detection successful. The Hunter can withstand 23 layers of Demonfall Mark.]
[Please note, when Demonfall Mark stacks to its limit, the Hunter will fall into Shura.]
It seemed that these Flames of Hatred indeed had the effect of disturbing the mind, and because the Flames of Hatred were burning fiercely at this time, Qin Jie's mind had already begun to be interfered with.
It seemed he had to speed up.
At this time, large piles of corpses were stacked together around him. Flames of Hatred also burned on their bodies. Most of them were killed by an extremely precise slash, and some had shriveled faces, as if they had lost their vitality. These were killed by Immortal Severance.
He felt it. Shura was nearby.
It had been 12 hours since he arrived in this world, and Qin Jie's shield had also been stacking for 12 hours. According to the current gluttony ring's shield stacking efficiency, Qin Jie's shield had now reached 330% of his maximum health.
After sprinkling himself with fire-extinguishing powder, Qin Jie activated Hunting Perspective, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Shura was rapidly approaching him!
It seemed that not only Qin Jie, but the other party also sensed Qin Jie's presence.
Here he comes!
A soaring black-red Saber Qi suddenly tore through the piles of corpses and the sea of fire beside Qin Jie, directly slashing at Qin Jie, and this attack was blocked by the shield.
Qin Jie checked.
Hmm, the shield dropped by 17%, which was within an acceptable range.
"Whoosh!"
A grappling hook suddenly shot out. Qin Jie dodged to the side, only to see Shura's figure, burning with specks of fire, rapidly rushing over. The shorter Shinobi Prosthetic sword, kusabimaru, in his hand slashed directly at Qin Jie.
"Clang!"
Qin Jie parried with his sword. The two weapons clashed at this moment, emitting a large number of sparks, and this attack triggered a Parry, directly sending Shura flying.
