Bab 64: CHAPTER 64 SECRETLY
"Uh—-?!"
"Ah—-?!"
"Mm—-?!"
"Uh————?! "Echoed the startled cries of the Samurai, accompanied by the chilling screams that reverberated in the air. Within the confines of this space, the relentless slashes of Fang Li's dagger splattered the surroundings with blood, one Samurai at a time.
The Samurai warriors fell victim to swift and fatal strikes, their hearts impaled or their throats mercilessly slit open.
Their bodies seemed as fragile as paper, succumbing to a single graceful stroke of Fang Li's dagger, which effortlessly tore through their skin and muscles, extinguishing their lives without hesitation.
At this moment, Fang Li resembled a ferocious wolf let loose amidst a flock of sheep. His dagger became the scythe of a vengeful deity, while his figure embodied the very essence of the wind, deftly maneuvering through the Samurai ranks.
With each move, he effortlessly extinguished their lives, leaving a trail of agonizing cries echoing through the train carriage.
As the Samurai from the front carriage finally arrived, they were met with a horrifying spectacle of carnage.
"We… we found him!"
"Damn it!"
"He actually killed so many people!"
The group of Hunters' Samurai were abruptly stirred, their spirits heightened. They raised their Steam Guns one after another and unleashed a barrage of bullets.
"Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang————!"
Gunshots resounded, transforming the carriage into a storm of bullets that Fang Li valiantly endured.
However, before the bullets could reach him, Fang Li had already claimed the life of the last Samurai.
"So, you're too late!" His words rang out, laced with a mixture of triumph and mockery. Fang Li swiftly lunged forward, rushing into the next carriage and delivering a heavy kick to its door.
"Bang————!"
The door shut forcefully, colliding with the frame.
"Clang clang clang clang————!"
The barrage from the pursuing Samurai bombarded the steel door, causing sparks to erupt fiercely, leaving behind a series of bullet holes.
"He… he escaped?!"
"Chase him!"
"Don't let him get away!"
Without hesitation, the pursuing Samurai continued their relentless pursuit.
…
The scale of the Hunters' Hayajiro was grand, with each carriage boasting considerable space.
Within the expansive carriage, Fang Li transformed into an arrow, hurtling forward like a bullet, his sights fixed on the final carriage.
"Bang bang bang bang bang————!"
The pursuing Samurai fired relentlessly from behind, bullets raining down around Fang Li, their trajectories leaving conspicuous traces in air.
However, for Fang Li at this moment, the speed of the bullets was a mere crawl.
No, that's not quite accurate. It wasn't the bullets that were slow.
Rather, compared to the speed at which Fang Li moved, the Samurai were undoubtedly slower.
Hence, it was not the bullets that seemed sluggish, but rather the Samurai shooting them.
From pursuit to raising their guns.
From raising their guns to taking aim.
From taking aim to firing.
Within these intervals, Fang Li's speed allowed him to accomplish an array of tasks.
Consequently, not a single bullet fired by the Samurai found its mark on Fang Li. At the precise moment when they aligned their sights on him, he had already vanished from that position, rendering it impossible for them to strike him.
Additionally, Fang Li's swiftness surpassed that of an ordinary Samurai by a significant margin. Even Mumei and Amatori Biba, prodigies among the Kabaneri would struggle to match his agility.
Gradually, the group of pursuing Samurai found themselves left far behind by Fang Li's relentless pace.
Of course, the fact that the Samurai from behind failed to catch up did not imply that those ahead would not attempt to intercept him.
Let us not forget that the Hunters' Hayajiro was teeming with Samurai guards stationed throughout the train.
Thus, as Fang Li propelled himself forward at an extraordinary velocity, Samurai warriors continually materialized before him.
"There he is!"
"Stop him!"
The Samurai raised their guns in unison as they spoke.
Unfortunately, it was already too late for them to take aim.
With his ice-blue Mystic Eyes wide open, Fang Li's lips curled into a slight smile as the dagger materialized in his hand. He seamlessly blended into the crowd, moving like a whirlwind.
"Pu Chi—— Pu Chi—— Pu Chi——!"
The sound of flesh being torn resonated wherever his sharp dagger made contact.
Ordinary Samurai were no match for Fang Li in his current state. The Hunters' Samurai found themselves incapable of impeding his progress; instead, they became sacrificial lambs, falling one by one under Fang Li's relentless onslaught.
When the pursuing Samurai caught up once again, all they beheld was a ground littered with lifeless bodies.
In this manner, Fang Li eluded their pursuit and the bullets that were fired from behind while ruthlessly dispatching the Samurai who charged at him from the front. His figure remained unceasing in its advance toward the final carriage.
Yet, for all his might, the situation was not particularly favorable for Fang Li.
"The wounds… they're starting to ache once more…"
It was only natural.
Fang Li's injuries had not yet fully healed, and engaging in such strenuous movements under these circumstances proved to be a genuine challenge.
"And I must accomplish my objective before the true elite Hunters locate me."
The Hunters' ranks did not solely consist of ordinary Samurai.
As the saying goes, "Experts emerge from the weak, and even greater experts emerge from the experts."
Just as there was Konochi Kurusu, an exceptional Samurai among the rest at Aragane Station, the Hunters also possessed individuals even more formidable than the average Samurai.
Just how formidable were these individuals?
Mumei served as a prime example.
Mumei was one of those elites.
Considering this, if it were these elites who caught up to Fang Li, his situation would indeed become perilous.
Fortunately, fortune smiled upon Fang Li.
Shortly after Fang Li burst into the next carriage, the scenery underwent a sudden transformation.
Within this carriage, the lighting dimmed significantly compared to the others, and it contained several peculiarities absent from the rest.
There were steel cages here lined up one after another.
This carriage, except for the central area, was lined with cages on all sides.
And within these cages were imprisoned figures.
Figures with ashen-gray skin, pallid irises, and hearts that emitted an eerie glow.
"AaahAaahAaahAaahAaahAaah————!"
Numerous Kabanes were locked inside these cages, roaring at Fang Li as he ventured further. They resembled ferocious beasts stripped of their freedom, exuding an exceptionally terrifying aura.
Within the Hunters' Hayajiro, a surprising number of Kabane were held captive.
But this wasn't mere captivity.
Amatori Biba had raised these monsters for the purpose of research, creating Kabaneri in large quantities and even weaponizing them for attacks and raids.
These monsters were precisely Fang Li's target.
"I've finally found them."
Fang Li let out a sigh of relief and approached one of the cages.
The pursuing Samurai followed suit, taking up positions near the carriage's entrance.
"We've finally found you!"
"You sought refuge in such a place?"
"Unfortunately, there's no escape for you here!"
"Prepare to meet your end!"
Amidst the Samurai's shouts, Steam Guns were once again raised, primed for action.
