"I don't want to fight you."

Natsuki's tone was helpless, but his movements were not slow. He pulled out his Raikiri and easily slashed in front of him, cutting off the incoming ice pick.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Esdeath asked curiously, her eyes flashing slightly, and she jumped slightly along with the voice. She jumped off the horse, pulled out the noble sword from her waist, and slashed at Natsuki.

"It's no good and a waste of time."

Natsuki said solemnly.

Clang.

Reacher waved.

The two weapons collided together, sending sparks flying.

But the next moment, Natsuki's power burst out, knocking Esdeath back a few steps.

Immediately after taking a step, a 'whoosh' sound broke through the air, and Natsuki's figure disappeared from the spot. He rushed behind Esdeath with lightning speed and slashed out with a sword.

The attack was as fierce as thunder. Even though Esdeath was experienced in combat and had quick reactions, he was unable to block Natsuki's powerful and sharp slashes for a while.

puff.

Blood gradually fell to the ground.

A wound appeared on Esdeath's descendant.

A sharp pain came from Esdeath's back.

However, the pale face could not help but show no fear at all. At this time, it could not help but lick its lips and show an excited smile. "You are indeed very strong, but the stronger you are, the better. Come and fight me with all your strength. The empire is very boring now."

"You're bored. I have other things to do. Fighting with you is a waste of time."

Natsuki's tone was still helpless.

"It doesn't matter. If you beat me, you can do whatever you want. It won't be of any benefit to you, right?" Esdeath smiled excitedly.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xia Shu said with great interest. "Is anything okay?"

"of course."

Esdeath licked her lips, her delicate face coupled with this action was inexplicably tempting, and her voice was slightly teasing. "Anything is fine."

"If you say that, I suddenly became interested."

A smile appeared at the corner of Natsuki's mouth, and he looked at Esdeath's body unabashedly, his eyes gradually becoming sharper.

"It's this look...the look of a strong man."

Esdeath smiled more and more excitedly and said. "Come on, let's fight."

The sound fell.

Esdeath slammed her right foot onto the ground.

Immediately, a streak of blue frost swept away from the ground, until Xia Shu's feet suddenly bulged out, turning into sharp ice spikes that pierced through easily.

However, Xia Shu seemed to have had a premonition and twisted slightly to avoid the ice spike.

Then he took a step forward and rushed to Esdeath.

"Jokudōryu-Demon Slayer!"

Swish.

Black slashes erupted, and there was a vague roar of evil spirits in fear, disturbing the mind.

This slash exploded with unparalleled power.

Esdeath couldn't help but look cautious, and waved her hands suddenly.

Blue light appeared in the palm of his hand, and a thick ice wall suddenly formed in front of Esdeath.

The slash fell, and the ice wall was split open. But then another wall of ice formed, and this time it finally blocked the slash.

"Powerful swordsmanship."

Esdeath sighed in admiration, and at the same time took this opportunity to act quickly and decisively.

Just when the slashing attack was blocked, ice thorns stabbed at Xia Shu's feet again, extremely fast, as if they were going to pierce Xia Shu in an instant.

But fortunately, Xia Shu reacted quickly and turned around to avoid it.

But Esdeath seemed to be waiting for this opportunity. He stepped in front of Natsuki and struck with his sword.

Clang.

The sword fell on Natsuki's chest, but there was no sound of flesh and blood being cut as Esdeath imagined. Instead, it was like a collision with a weapon.

When Esdeath took a closer look, she realized that the person in front of her was covered in a layer of deep black energy, as if it were solid iron.

"What is this? Teigu?"

Esdeath frowned slightly.

"A power you don't know and can't know."

Natsuki's voice was calm. He bounced Esdeath's weapon away with a slight shock, and then slashed towards Esdeath with a sword. The sword energy exploded with surging momentum.

Esdeath's face changed slightly, she quickly jumped to avoid the slash, and sprinted towards Natsuki from another direction.

At the same time, he waved his left hand.

There was an icicle rising from the ground on the left, turning into an ice spike, turning sharply, moving with Esdeath, and stabbing Natsuki.

"Useless work."

Natsuki said solemnly, with a calm look on his face, he held Raikiri tightly in his right hand, pulled out his sword-drawing ability, and when Esdeath was about to approach, he suddenly shouted. "Draw your sword and kill!"

Swish.

A stream of light flashed.

Esdeath opened her eyes wide, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face, which seemed a little unbelievable.

puff.

A deep wound appeared in Esdeath's abdomen, and all the ice spikes that were about to stab Natsuki beside him were shattered.

Natsuki's figure appeared behind Esdeath at some point, holding Raikiri in his right hand and saying calmly. "You don't seem to be my match."

It turns out that the reason why Natsuki found Esdeath difficult to deal with was because of Esdeath's ability, Mokobotemo.

It's a move that freezes time.

But then Natsuki remembered that Esdeath had not yet developed this ability. This move seemed to have been developed by Esdeath in the future to allow Tazmi to escape.

Esdeath, who does not have this ability, is a good opponent for Natsuki, but he is not as big a threat as imagined.

"The battle is not over yet."

Esdeath grinned. Although he was injured, he had no intention of stopping. Instead, the look in his eyes became more and more crazy.

He touched the wound with the palm of his right hand, and frost suddenly condensed there, freezing it and stopping the flow of blood from the wound.

Then, Esdeath's momentum suddenly exploded.

Biting cold air rose from Esdeath's body.

Frost suddenly condensed on the ground beneath my feet.

There was also cold air emanating from the long sword in Esdeath's hand.

"The real battle begins now."

Esdeath said coldly, and as soon as his voice fell, an ice dragon roared to the right of Esdeath, rising from the ground, and roared towards Xia Shu in the blink of an eye.

Xia Shu frowned slightly and slashed out with the sword.

There was a slashing attack, and the ice dragon was split in half with one knife.

But at this time, Esdeath had already arrived, exuding a biting cold air, which made Natsuki feel a little uncomfortable for a while. However, when he saw Esdeath's slashing sword, he still raised the sword to block it without any delay.

Clang.

Weapons collided, sparks flew.

But at the same time, the cold air emanating actually caused Raikiri to freeze, and the ice froze the two weapons together, and continued to spread and cover, as if starting from Raikiri, Natsuki's entire body was frozen.

"It's an interesting ability, but it's far inferior to the natural devil fruits."

Natsuki whispered in his heart.

With a slight shock, the power of the spiritual blade exploded.

The ice instantly shattered.

Although Esdeath can freeze time later, other than that, her own abilities are still much inferior to Aokiji's.

Swish.

Natsuki slashed away with a backhand slash.

The sword suddenly appeared, and the slashes burst out.

Esdeath quickly dodged.

But the slash split a deep gash in the ground behind Esdeath, which shows the power of this slash.

Natsuki did not stop his attack. Instead, while Esdeath was dodging, he kicked out suddenly and hit Esdeath in the abdomen.

While kicking Esdeath's frozen wound open, it also kicked Esdeath's whole body away.

With a 'bang' sound, Natsuki stepped forward and gave chase.

Raikire waved, with an indomitable momentum erupting, followed by slashes.

"A strong man."

The corners of Esdeath's mouth raised, showing an excited smile.

With a wave of his right hand, a wall of ice suddenly rose up, blocking Natsuki's path.

At the same time, Esdeath also stabilized her body, twisted around, and used the momentum of flying out to convert it into power, quickly stepped out, and rushed out.

The ice wall shattered and was split open by Natsuki's knife.

Ice cubes scattered in all directions, falling in the air, somewhat blocking the view.

Esdeath quickly rushed in front of Natsuki, swung the long sword in his hand, and hit Natsuki's neck directly. He used all his strength to cut off Natsuki's head with one knife.

But Natsuki, as if he had foreseen this scene, took a step back and dodged the attack.

When Esdeath's long sword passed across the front of his neck, Natsuki slashed out with his backhand.

puff.

A wound appeared again on Esdeath's abdomen.

Blood spurted out.

A sharp look appeared in Natsuki's eyes, and he kicked out fiercely, knocking Esdeath to the ground. At the same time, he stepped forward and rushed in front of Esdeath, with Raikiri in his hand directly on Esdeath. on Si's neck.

"you lose."

Natsuki said calmly.

"Haha...hahaha."

Esdeath laughed, and her face became even paler because there were several deep wounds on her body.

"Yes, I lost." Esdeath raised an excited smile on her lips, stared at Natsuki with a burning gaze, and grinned. "You are such a strong man, can you tell me your name?"

"In all the years I have been in the Imperial Capital, I have never heard of a swordsman as powerful as you."

Natsuki put away Raikiri, lifted his cloak and hat, and said calmly. "Natsuki."

When fighting Natsuki before, Natsuki had been wearing a cloak.

Although part of his face is occasionally revealed, it cannot be seen clearly.

At this time, Esdeath could see Xia Shu's whole face clearly, and couldn't help but blinked and was stunned for a while.

After coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but smile and said. "I didn't expect you to be quite handsome."

Xia Shu twitched the corner of her mouth and said. "Is it important?"

"It's important."

Esdeath, who looked cold on the outside, showed a playful smile and said. "Haven't you heard? A handsome person can be eaten. Your face will ensure that you will have no shortage of food and drink in the future."

Natsuki didn't respond, just stared at Esdeath.

Feeling Natsuki's calm gaze, Esdeath raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. "If you win, you can kill me, why don't you do it?"

"There's no point in killing you."

Sitting cross-legged next to Esdeath, Natsuki said calmly. "You are a general of the empire. If I kill you, there will be some trouble for the empire. What's more, in my eyes, you are still valuable."

"Oh?"

Esdeath asked with interest. "What's the value?"

"The value of dealing with revolutionary armies and foreign nationalities."

Natsuki looked into the distance and spoke slowly. "For the revolutionary army and foreign nations, you are the first step to stop them. Without you, they will have a huge obstacle. Without you, they may have a greater chance of defeating the empire."

"It's just a chance." Esdeath said with a smile.

Natsuki shook his head and said. "I'm not going to gamble."

If Esdeath was dead, how could he let Esdeath lead the imperial army to consume the fighting power of the revolutionary army and foreign nations? Although killing Esdeath will make him have one less powerful enemy in this world in the future. But that was in the future, not now. He knew very well how far Esdeath's strength could be improved in the future.

But his strength will also improve in the future, but to what extent he can improve it, Xia Shu himself doesn't know.

What is certain is that it is definitely stronger than Esdeath.

After all, Natsuki has this confidence.

Relying on the ability of one's own golden finger, coupled with the spirit blade, as long as there is a certain amount of time, improving strength is not as difficult as imagined.

What's more, there is the existence of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce. Even if he is not Esdeath's opponent in the future, it will not be difficult to surround Esdeath.

Therefore, Natsuki will not kill Esdeath now.

of course.

It is not ruled out that Natsuki has the idea of ​​recruiting Esdeath to join the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.

This woman is a hunter who loves hunting.

In the future, sooner or later, her favorite prey will not appear in this world.

By then, Natsuki will be able to take her to find new prey, and therefore, there is a certain possibility that Esdeath will make Esdeath his subordinate.

Esdeath blinked her dark blue eyes and stared at Natsuki, the corners of her mouth raised. "Xia Shu, I am becoming more and more interested in you. Since you don't kill me, I will come to you again in the future."

"When the time comes, I might kill you myself."

With that said, Esdeath stood up holding his wound, his tone was cold and murderous.

heard.

Natsuki glanced at Esdeath and laughed 'haha'.

"Hey, what do you mean by your laughter? Are you looking down on me?"

Esther suddenly spoke angrily, her eyes widening.

"No."

Xia Shu also stood up and said calmly. "If there is a chance to meet again in the future, let's talk about it then."

"As for killing me..."

"You're still early."

Finished.

Natsuki didn't intend to stay here any longer, but took a step forward and headed into the distance. His figure kept flickering, moving forward quickly, and soon disappeared from Esdeath's sight.

"Interesting man, young...and strong."

Staring in the direction Natsuki left, Esdeath's eyes flickered. "It seems to have the ability to predict my attacks, powerful swordsmanship, and unknown energy armor... Hehehe, I will find out your identity."
