Just then, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the silent forest, very light but also very obvious.

"Father ..."

"Koushirou.…"

Two surprised voices stuck in their throats because they saw a tall figure with a mask on his face.

The demon sword held in his hand was dripping blood, and the pupils of his eyes were glowing with a scarlet light.

"Who are you? Where is my father?" Kuina shouted in agitation.

"Red-eyed guy, where did you take Koushirou-sensei?" Zoro also shouted with clenched fists.

"He's strong!" A raspy voice came from under the mask, "If you look around the world, he ranks in the top three of all the swordsmen I've ever fought."

"So, he's dead!"

"Dead, dead?" Kuina was struck like lightning; the body trembled and leaned toward Zoro, "Liar, it must be a lie!"

"Dead, and dead to the ashes!" The masked man said indifferently.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Zoro rudely pushed Kuina to the side and then casually picked up three branches on the ground, attacking Apophis furiously.

Apophis stretched out his right hand and flicked his fingers, instantly sending Zoro's small body flying dozens of meters away.

"Zoro!" Kuina let out a cry of alarm and then braced her weak body and likewise picked up a branch and rushed towards Apophis.

"Are you two, juggling?" Apophis flicked out another aura, knocking Kuina away.

Zoro, who was getting up from the ground, was hit by a human cannonball and fell again.

"Damn it, it's not in the same class at all." Kuina rubbed her head that was a bit swollen.

"You're heavy, Kuina! Get up off my face." A dull voice came from beneath her.

It was only then that Kuina realized that someone was actually under her ass.

"Ah! Sorry." Kuina moved her body away in a hurry.

"Whew! Saved!" Zoro breathed in the fresh air with a grateful face.

"You two, are you really that man's daughter and disciple?" Apophis asked.

"What? You have a problem with that?" Zoro retorted, stroking his mossy green head.

"It's too weak, it's too weak to be true!" Apophis said indifferently, "This canyon in front of you is the blow he struck by putting his life on the line and trying to pull me down with him."

"But you guys, you can't even cut through the rocks!"

Kuina and others can't help but breathe; they can't imagine that this kind of power of nature can be done by human power.

What's even more frightening is that such a landslide blow could not kill the monster in front of him.

Not to say kill, it seems that it can not do even serious injury.

In the end, this masked man can powerful to what extent ... even if the mentally tough as Zoro, also can not help feeling a burst of powerlessness.

But he quickly adjusted his mind, patted his body, and stood up, "Isn't it just cut the rock? I'll chop it for you now!"

Zoro discarded two branches and held them in both hands, charging again in Ittoryu's stance.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

"Although I promise him that I will spare you, it does not mean that I will ignore your repeated provocations."

Apophis lifted Nidai Kitetsu high in the air, "Since you want to die, then ..."

"Zoro, run away!" Kuina shouted in despair; she naturally knew that they were not hurt before, solely because the masked man did not want to be bothered with them.

Once the other side gets serious, ten lives are not enough for them to die.

Zoro also felt great fear, that is the body's instinctive reaction, but he is still determined to charge forward.

He doesn't want to retreat, even if it's better to die than to run away!

Snip!

Nidai Kitetsu's blade grazed Zoro's ear and stabbed into the dirt.

"I didn't die?" Zoro breathed heavily; this experience of passing by with death is too thrilling.

"Are you going to stop me? Holy Lance Longinus?" Apophis drew his demon sword and looked up into the silent night sky.

Kuina and Zoro could not help but follow his gaze towards the sky; through the moonlight, they can vaguely see the golden light hovering in the night sky.

It seems to be an incomparably powerful foreign beast, and on the back of that foreign beast, there stands a tall figure.

"Red Swordsman Apophis, I thought that you, who was called the Dark Knight, was only upholding justice in your own way, but to my surprise, in the end, you are just a scum who doesn't even spare children!"

"Don't joke!" Apophis said with a crooked head, "As long as you pick up a weapon, you are on the battlefield, and there is no distinction between adults and children, men and women on the battlefield."

"If you don't have the consciousness of certain death, don't stand out and show off."

"Minos, go down."

After getting the order from Longinus, Minos appeared on the ground like lightning.

At the same time, Longinus had an additional one of green algae head in his hand.

See Zoro was "saved", Apophis also do not care, watch coldly with folded arms.

Longinus jumped down and put Zoro, who started losing his mind, on the ground.

"Solon, it's really good that you're okay." Kuina first lightly exclaimed, then looked aside and saluted, "Uncle, thank you very much indeed!"

Longinus shook his head slightly, "Kids, can you tell me what's going on?"

"It was this bastard who killed ..." Zoro got stuck in the middle of his sentence, and by the looks of things, Koushirou-sensei probably died in defeat in a fair duel of swordsmen.

This kind of thing is a very normal thing in a duel of swordsmen.

As a disciple, he could naturally take revenge for his teacher.

But if the matter is turned to outsiders, it will turn out that their teacher cannot afford to lose, and if word gets out, it will bring shame to the teacher's reputation.

So, Zoro held back the sentence for a while, "Nothing."

Kuina also thought of this, while biting her lips firmly without speaking, her father's revenge naturally can only be avenged by herself.

"Is that so? Then be careful, this man, is a vicious criminal!" Longinus said in a deep voice, "Next, it's between me and him!"

"Uncle, don't be impulsive! This guy, is a superb swordsman who can even take the attack that cut through the mountain range!" Kuina warned.

"Yes, Uncle!" Zoro also looked grave, "Just now, when he chopped down with that blade, I could not even dodge."

"Two idiots! I'm the one in trouble right now." Apophis said in a cold voice, "That guy beside you is a powerful person who can be ranked in the top few in the whole world."

"Even at my peak state, I wouldn't necessarily be able to beat him, let alone, the current me being hurt badly by that last slash of your teacher."

Kuina and Zoro looked to the side incredulously; this looks at most 20 or 30 years old uncle is such a powerful character?

Surprisingly, even the masked man who had defeated their teacher/father had admitted to himself that he was no match.
