Chapter 178: Escape

Although what Richard said was true, Moonlight Gale still looked at him with hostility.

After looking at Richard with an unkind expression for several seconds, he continued: "Don't think that just because you teach Xiyan sword skills, you can make me trust you."

"I didn't trust you before, I won't trust you now, and I won't trust you in the future!"

Richard didn't take Moonlight Gale's words to heart.

Because if there are no other accidents, Moonlight Hayate will die soon.

"I don't need you to trust me!"

After saying that, Richard came to the door of the apartment and knocked gently.

Boom, boom, boom!

Not long after, Uoyuki Xiyan, wearing home clothes, opened the door to the apartment.

After seeing that Richard was not the only one standing in front of the gate, but also Moonlight Hayate holding flowers, Maoyue Xiyan showed an unexpected expression.

Although Moonlight Hayate is her real boyfriend, she did not invite Moonlight Hayate tonight.

This was not because she had begun to change her mind, but because she knew that Hayate Tsukiko would be the examiner for the third round of the Chunin Examination.

Although the third Chunin Examination will not begin until a month later, as the examiner, Hayate Hayate has many things to be busy with, other than just being present at the scene as a referee.

It was precisely because of this that she did not invite Moonlight Hayate.

However, unexpectedly, after seeing Yue Guangfeng coming to her with flowers, Uoyue Xiyan still showed a happy expression on her face.

She doesn't have many hobbies.

To be precise, there is only one, and that is flower viewing!

Knowing that she likes flower viewing, Moonlight Hayate always goes to the flower shop to buy fresh flowers every time she comes to see her.

"You are here, come in, dinner will be ready soon!"

Maoyue Xiyan said to Richard and Yueguang Blast.

Neither Richard nor Yue Guangfeng spoke, they nodded and entered the apartment.

In the living room.

Richard and Moonlight Gale said nothing, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

As for Maoyue Xiyan, she was busy in the kitchen.

Because she didn't expect Moonlight Hayate to come, she only prepared dinner for two people tonight.

With the arrival of the moonlight blast, she planned to prepare two more dishes.

Time passes little by little.

After several minutes like this, Richard took the initiative to break the silence and said to Moonlight Gale: "I heard from Xiyan that you have developed a secret evasion technique that can hide your body and facilitate your investigation."

"If you have time, let me see it."

After hearing what Richard said, Moonlight Gale immediately frowned.

He knew that Mao Yue Xiyan had a good relationship with Richard now, but he did not expect that Mao Yue Xiyan would tell Richard that he had mastered the escape.

After being silent for a few seconds, he slowly said: "I heard from Xi Yan that you have also developed a secret technique called heat ray that emits high-temperature rays from both eyes. I also want to see it."

"Since everyone is interested, let's find a time to discuss it."

Richard said casually.

Although the penetration developed by Moonlight Hayate is not the blood successor limit, but the ninjutsu version of transparent invisibility, he still has some interest in penetration.

If other superpowers were not restricted from use, he would not have any interest in escaping, because he himself has the superpower of being invisible, and it is not an invisibility superpower that only targets visual effects.

"Just tonight, find a place to spar after dinner!"

Moonlight Hayate said quickly.

He knew that his strength was far inferior to Richard's.

But he would never be willing to fight against Richard again.

In other words, even if he couldn't win against Richard, he still wanted to leave a "deep" impression on Richard to prevent Richard from continuing to have Mao Yue Xiyan's ideas.

"no problem!"

Richard replied.

Maoyue Xiyan would never have thought that Richard and Yueguang Gale would suddenly agree to fight tonight.

More than ten minutes later.

Maoyue Xiyan finally prepared dinner.

Just like last time, she prepared some very common Japanese home-cooked dishes tonight.

Moonlight Hayate sat next to Uoyue Xiyan, and Richard sat opposite Uoyue Xiyan. The three of them ate and chatted, as if they had met many old friends.

Although she was unhappy with Richard, Moonlight Hayate did not show it in front of Maoyue Xiyan.

He didn't want Uoyue Xiyan to think that he was a man who was easily jealous of others and stingy.

After dinner, Richard and Moonlight Hayate left Uoyuki Xiyan's apartment together.

Although Moonlight Hayate and Uozuki Xiyan have been together since early in the morning, they do not live together.

Not only that, they haven't even slept together.

This is not what Maoyue Xiyan told Richard.

Although their relationship is good now, it's not that good yet.

The fact that Maoyue Xiyan was still a virgin was discovered by Richard himself.

For him, who has super eyesight, he can confirm whether Uoyue Xiyan is a virgin or not by just looking at it.

After coming out of Uoyuki Xiyan's apartment, neither Richard nor Yueguang Hayate spoke, and walked towards the park near the apartment in tacit agreement.

In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, they did not choose a park with many pedestrians at night, but found a park with few pedestrians on weekdays.

After arriving at an open space in the park, Moonlight Hayate pulled out the long knife on his back without saying a word.

After seeing his actions, Richard also took out the wooden knife from the system space.

Without any surprise, Moonlight Gale immediately showed an angry expression on his face after seeing that he was going to fight with him with a wooden sword.

In his opinion, Richard was looking down on him by fighting with a wooden sword.

Richard saw Moonlight Gale's anger, but he did not intend to change a sword. He said slowly: "Don't waste everyone's time, just do it."

"Xiyan said that your Konoha style swordsmanship is better than hers. I hope she is telling the truth."

Moonlight Gale did not answer him, and immediately shot at him with a long sword.

In just a blink of an eye, Moonlight Gale came in front of Richard, and the sharp long sword attacked Richard's neck directly.

Richard did not dodge or retreat. He raised the wooden sword in his hand calmly, and then struck back and chopped the blade of Moonlight Gale's long sword.

Although this is much more troublesome than normal blocking, there is no other way.

Without using magic to cover the wooden sword, the wooden sword in his hand could not fight against the long sword of Moonlight Gale.

Even if the long sword in Moonlight Gale's hand was made of ordinary metal, it could still cut off the wooden sword in his hand.

After the attack was resolved by Richard, Moonlight Gale did not retreat, but turned his wrist and continued to attack Richard with the long sword.

Although he did not perform the Three Moon Dance and the Secret Sword Moon Shadow at this time, he was still performing the orthodox Konoha swordsmanship.

But even so, his attack was still no threat to Richard.

Richard stood in place, waving the wooden sword in his hand casually, easily resolving all the attacks of Moonlight Gale.

When Richard easily blocked all his attacks, Moonlight Gale finally retreated and looked at Richard seriously.

From the scene, he and Richard were evenly matched.

But this was not the case.

From beginning to end, Richard stood in place without moving.

Although he was very unwilling, Moonlight Gale had to admit that Richard's swordsmanship was indeed very strong, far superior to his.

When Moonlight Gale confirmed this, Richard also confirmed that Moonlight Gale's Konoha style swordsmanship was indeed much stronger than Uzuki Yugao.

After realizing that ordinary attacks could not hurt Richard at all, Moonlight Gale began to perform the secret of Konoha style swordsmanship, the Three-Day Moon Dance.

Under Richard's gaze, he first summoned two shadow clones.

Then, the main body and the shadow clone shot towards Richard at the same time.

Moonlight Gale and the two shadow clones attacked from three different angles, trying to defeat Richard with the Three-Day Moon Dance.

But soon, Moonlight Gale found that he had thought too much.

Before he and the shadow clone approached Richard, Richard's eyes flashed red light.

Heat ray!

Bang! Bang!

The heat ray containing astonishingly high temperature hit the two shadow clones of Moonlight Gale twice, and easily destroyed the three-day moon dance that Moonlight Gale was about to perform.

"Didn't Xi Yan tell you that I can easily see through the real body and the shadow clone?"

Richard said to Moonlight Gale.

He didn't use the heat ray to attack Moonlight Gale's real body, not because he couldn't lock the real body, but because he deliberately held back.

Moonlight Gale has not yet performed the transparent escape.

If Moonlight Gale is seriously injured now, he will not be able to "copy" Moonlight Gale's transparent escape.

Although Richard does not have the Sharingan, with the perspective and super insight given by super vision, as long as Moonlight Gale performs the transparent escape, he can "copy" it.

Even if he can't perform it on the spot, he can spend some time studying it after returning and master the transparent escape thoroughly.

"Xi Yan is not as boring as you think. She rarely mentions you in front of me!"

Moonlight Gale replied quickly.

"Really?"

"But she told you that I can use heat rays!"

Richard continued.

Moonlight Gale did not continue to answer Richard, thinking about whether to perform the Transparent Escape immediately.

Now that the Three-Day Moon Dance was easily resolved by Richard, his trump cards are only the Transparent Escape and the Secret Sword·Moon Shadow.

The so-called Secret Sword·Moon Shadow refers to the fact that when performing this move, he will create several moving and extremely realistic afterimages that make it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake when he moves in the instant state. At the same time, when the enemy is distracted, he will kill the enemy with a lightning-fast sword.

Although the Secret Sword·Moon Shadow and the Three-Day Moon Dance are two completely different moves, the power of the Secret Sword·Moon Shadow is not as good as the Three-Day Moon Dance.

The Three-Day Moon Dance at least has a shadow clone to attack together.

The afterimage created by the Secret Sword·Moon Shadow has only the function of distracting the enemy's attention.

Richard can easily see through the shadow clone, so it will be even easier to see through the afterimage of the Secret Sword·Moon Shadow.

Moonlight Gale didn't think for too long and made a decision quickly.

Under Richard's gaze, he decisively performed the Transparent Escape.

In just one or two seconds, Moonlight Gale disappeared as if he had become invisible.

However, he did not disappear from Richard's sight.

So that's it!

After Moonlight Gale performed the Transparent Escape, Richard immediately recorded the handprint of the chakra running route of the Transparent Escape.

There are two effects of the Transparent Escape, one is to hide one's breath, and the other is to become transparent.

Although there are two effects, the principle of the Transparent Escape is not complicated.

To put it simply, the Transparent Escape is to completely wrap oneself with chakra.

Like general chakra covering, the chakra used to cover one's own chakra has the effect of optical invisibility, so it gives the caster a transparent effect.

As for concealing one's own aura, the principle is simpler.

Because the whole body is wrapped in chakra with optical invisibility effect, his own aura is naturally hidden.

Although the principle of Translucent Escape is not complicated, Moonlight Blast can develop Translucent Escape, and it does have some abilities.

After using Translucent Escape, Moonlight Swift Wind sneaked up behind Richard and tried to launch a fatal blow behind him.

However, before the long knife he swung came down, Richard turned his back to him and stabbed out the wooden knife in his hand, hitting him in the chest.

Bang!

Although Richard didn't use much strength, he still easily knocked the Moonlight Blast away.

Moonlight Gale fell heavily to the ground, and the effect of translucency disappeared.

"You lose!"

Richard turned around and said to the moonlight blast.

Moonlight Gale looked at Richard with surprise: "You..."

He originally wanted to ask Richard how he could see through his escape, but he suppressed the urge.

Under Richard's gaze, he felt like he was being hit by a running bison. Moonlight Swift Wind stood up.

Then, without saying a word or looking back, he left the park and walked towards his apartment.

…

Five days later.

Richard learned about the murder of Yue Guang Feng from Mao Yue Xiyan.

Konoha Hospital.

Morgue.

Uoyuki Xiyan looked at Yue Guangfeng lying on the metal bed with a sad expression on her face.

Although she was also a ninja and knew that ninjas could die at any time due to missions or other accidents, she still couldn't control her tears at this time.

Richard stood beside Mao Yue Xiyan and said nothing.

He knew that the person who killed Moonlight Hayate was the Jonin Maki of Sunagakure Village, but he had no intention of avenging Moonlight Hayate.

Unless Ma Ji took the initiative to provoke him without knowing his life or death, he would never take the initiative to trouble Ma Ji because of Moonlight Blast.

After staying in the morgue for more than ten minutes, Richard and Uozuki Xiyan left Konoha Hospital.

After coming out of the hospital, Mao Yue Xiyan said to Richard: "I really want to drink now, can you go with me?"

"sure!"

Richard quickly replied.

After hearing his answer, Maoyue Xiyan immediately used the teleportation technique without any hesitation.

Soon, the two of them arrived at an izakaya not far from Uozuki Xiyan's apartment.

After arriving at the izakaya, Uzuki Xiyan went straight to the bar and said to the bartender inside: "I want the strongest soju in your store."

Although it was obvious that Uoyuki Xiyan was in a very wrong mood, the bartender didn't say anything. He took out a bottle of soju and two wine glasses from the wine cabinet and placed them in front of Richard and Uoyuki Xiyan.

Just when the bartender was about to ask them if they wanted any other snacks, Richard took the initiative and said, "We will call you again if necessary."

The bartender nodded and began to greet other customers.

At this time, Mao Yue Xiyan had already poured the wine and handed one of the wine glasses to Richard.

As soon as Richard took the wine glass, she raised her slender neck like a swan and drank her glass in one gulp.

Not long after, her cheeks, which had rarely drank before, immediately turned crimson.

…
