Chapter 668: 668 Chapter: I Have the Heaven-Defying Sword, Slaying Whales Across the Sea (4th Update)
Takeuchi Kiyoko swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater, and finally rescued the last person to the top of the building.
At this moment, all these Hei Gang leaders had become drenched chickens, standing on the rooftop shivering as they watched Tokyo become a vast ocean.
Some began to cry out loud, while the rest bore expressions of utter despair.
Takeuchi Kiyoko frowned, “Quiet!”
The sobbing stopped instantly.
Takeuchi Kiyoko said icily, “You are all esteemed samurai of Country R, what good does this sniveling and whimpering do?”
“But Kiyoko-sama…”
“There are no buts!” Takeuchi Kiyoko slowly drew her sword, her face grave as she looked toward the water and said, “If you don’t want to end up in the bellies of fish, you’d better pick up your swords and get ready to fight now.”
As soon as her words fell, a bizarre, large fish suddenly leapt out of the murky waters, lunging at the group.
The people closest to the water screamed in terror, but at that moment, Takeuchi Kiyoko arrived with her sword.
With a ‘puff,’ the strange fish was cleaved in two by the sword’s light.
The two halves of the fish’s body fell onto the rooftop, still struggling forcefully, until it finally died after wriggling for a while.

This scene made everyone shiver with cold fear.
“Kiyoko-sama, what are these?”
Takeuchi Kiyoko’s face was as still as water, “If I’m not mistaken, these are sea demons and fish spirits that have been hidden in the deep sea for who knows how long.”
As she spoke, Takeuchi Kiyoko turned her gaze toward the sea god standing on the head of the giant whale in the distant horizon.
“And all of this is the work of this sea god!”
Hearing what Takeuchi Kiyoko had said, no one dared to take the situation lightly anymore; they all huddled together and drew their swords for defense.
But Takeuchi Kiyoko’s inner unease grew even stronger.
In her perception, the powerful presences in the surrounding waters were becoming more numerous and dense.
This was clearly not a friendly approach.
Just then, several screams were heard not far away.
Takeuchi Kiyoko looked up.
She saw that atop the rooftop of a nearby building stood about a dozen survivors.
These people were initially huddling together, shivering as they discussed their situation.
Suddenly, a huge tentacle reached out, instantly dragging several people on the outskirts into the water.
After a moment, the churning waters calmed down, but streaks of blood emerged.
Witnessing this scene, everyone’s faces grew pale.
Takeuchi Kiyoko’s sense of unease intensified even further.
Suddenly.
Many fins appeared above the surface of the water.
“Sharks!” someone screamed in despair.
Takeuchi Kiyoko finally understood where her unease came from.
The dense and powerful presences were obviously those of the sharks.
And these sharks were clearly attracted by the smell of blood.
At that moment, the building nearby began to shake violently.
A few people, unable to stand firmly, fell into the water right away, and then the water surface erupted with intense thrashing as countless sharks swarmed over, tearing frantically at the ones who had fallen in.
The screams of the victims lasted only a few seconds before coming to a sudden halt.
Clearly, they had all fallen prey to the fish.
The remaining survivors huddled together and started to scream and cry.
And it was then that Takeuchi Kiyoko could clearly see that it was these large sharks shaking the building from underneath the water.
However, these sharks had skin that shone with a cold light, and their sizes had increased substantially.
Even when they noticed Takeuchi Kiyoko’s gaze, several sharks rose out of the water and stared at Takeuchi Kiyoko with cold eyes.
Takeuchi Kiyoko felt a chill in her heart, for in the eyes of these sharks, there was actually a hint of mockery.
“`
It seemed to say, “Don’t worry, it will soon be your turn.”
Just at that moment, the building, under the gnawing and shaking of several sharks, let out groans of unbearable strain and then began to collapse gradually.
The survivors above cried out in desperation.
Takeuchi Kiyoko clenched her teeth and suddenly let out a light shout, and her Flowing Light Sword unleashed a brilliant slash of sword light.
Thud, thud, thud.
A dozen dull sounds later, the bodies of a dozen sharks floated to the surface.
This completely enraged the shark swarm, which turned and charged toward Takeuchi Kiyoko.
All the Hei Gang leaders exclaimed in shock at the sight.
“Lady Kiyoko….”
But after releasing that sword strike, Takeuchi Kiyoko’s complexion turned pale, clearly showing signs of exhaustion.
Yet, facing the incoming swarm of sharks, if she couldn’t wield her sword, death would be waiting for all of them.
So she fiercely bit the tip of her tongue and spat blood onto the sword with a “puff,” her expression becoming even more dispirited while her Flowing Light Sword shone even brighter.
Then she fiercely swung her sword.
This sword strike was much more powerful than the one before.
With one swipe, she slaughtered most of the shark swarm.
The ones remaining became somewhat timid and reluctant to advance.
But before Takeuchi Kiyoko could catch her breath,
a voice carrying both majesty and a touch of mockery came from above.
“To slaughter so many of my subjects, mortal, what do you think I should do to punish you?”
Everyone stiffened at once, then slowly lifted their heads to look.
The giant whale had somehow emerged high in the sky and was flying as flexibly as if it were swimming through the water.
And there stood the Sea God, gazing down at them from atop the whale’s head.
Takeuchi Kiyoko’s face grew more and more unsightly, but she still clutched her Flowing Light Sword tightly.
“Huh…!” The Sea God let out a light exclamation and with a gentle beckoning, Takeuchi Kiyoko’s Flowing Light Sword wrestled free from her grip and flew straight into the Sea God’s hand.
“This sword is quite nice; it must have been forged by at least a half-step Golden Immortal!” The Sea God inspected it for a moment, then directed a strange, jeering laugh toward Takeuchi Kiyoko.
“What a pity, your swordsmanship is too weak!”
By now, tears were welling up in Takeuchi Kiyoko’s eyes, “Return my sword to me! It was bestowed upon me by my master!”
“Your master? Hehe, no, from now on, I am your master!” The Sea God said with a sinister grin.
With a stretch of his hand, Takeuchi Kiyoko found herself involuntarily floating into the air and rising higher.
“Lady Kiyoko!”
The Hei Gang leaders shouted in unison.
Takeuchi Kiyoko, feeling deeply ashamed and enraged, struggled wildly, attempting to break free from her bonds.
“It’s useless, any resistance against me is futile!” the Sea God laughed heartily.
As he pointed casually, Takeuchi Kiyoko felt her body completely stiffen, unable to blink an eye.
This time, Takeuchi Kiyoko finally fell into complete despair.
Just as she was about to be lifted into the sky, at that moment,
a calm voice suddenly came from the distant horizon.
“I hold the Heaven-Defying Sword!”
Accompanying the voice, a streak of light flew across the sky, and before it even arrived,
a sword light capable of cleaving heavens and earth struck with a roar, aiming straight for the giant whale and the Sea God.
Then the voice continued.
“Striking across the sea to slay the great whale!”
Simultaneously, as the sword light fell, blood splattered everywhere.
