Chapter 27 There are so many people in your house
Honestly, it was a painful blow. The accumulated anger had been immense, and he'd used every ounce of force in that blow. But since he'd been the one who'd been attacked, it was only natural that he'd suffered.
That's what I said, but.
"The strength... is a bit too much... If I had that much strength, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Lin Guang felt the bones click as they were slowly put back into place. He wiped the dust off his face and reached out to support himself on the ground to stand up again. He reconnected his broken leg before landing so that his feet were firmly on the ground.
Although it is very painful, the pain will only remain in the memory after the wound heals. There are too many memories made up of pain, and Lin Guang has learned a little trick to quickly forget these things that occupy a narrow memory space.
For example, now, instead of recalling the useless pain, Lin Guang would rather feel the real sensation of his feet stepping on the ground to confirm that there is nothing wrong with his body.
Although playing with Coke does involve taking such risks, it also helps me grow to some extent.
If he had been hit like this before, it would not just be a simple matter of breaking his arms and legs. That stick would have directly broken him into two pieces.
The process that sounded very long actually happened in just a short moment. When Lin Guang stood up, even the dust stirred up by the collision had not yet dispersed. The sound of Coke floated from a distance, and there was a reason why Lin Guang did not respond immediately.
Because there are outsiders entering.
There's more than one.

"Ah, it's all because the old man yelled too loudly just now, and attracted the ghost hunters."
Iron clashed, and a violent wind blew up. The Ghost Swordsman's sword and staff collided, while the other side nimbly dodged the attack of the palm-leaf fan.
"We finally caught you, evil ghost!"
Rinko knew that Ghost Swordsmen could use breathing techniques, but he had very little practical experience in this area. Because Muzan never let him face the battlefield directly, his only chance to witness the scene was during the clearing many years ago. However, at that time, Rinko's role was also positioned as a lookout bird that had just left the nest. There was nothing he could do except watch from afar.
As for the Breathing of the Moon, that was another matter. He had personally experienced it so many times that he was no longer curious about it.
As the long sword was swung, wind and thunder surged, and there was a feeling that the accumulated anger and Coke were fighting with themselves. The sound of two lightning bolts colliding was a bit harsh, and the sound of two gusts of wind colliding was a bit noisy. It was a lively battle both in appearance and in reality.
The more intense the fighting on the battlefield, the safer it was for Lin Guang to hide nearby. Hantengou's position wasn't difficult to find, especially after a long period of time, when the opponent had already developed a good habit.
"Ah, here."
Lin Guang found his target from the gaps between the rubble and tiles, and as expected, he ran to him the moment he noticed a human approaching...
The little Hantengou crawled out along the outstretched palm and hid in Rinko's sleeve. Only after confirming that Hantengou was hidden did Rinko have time to look over there.
"This is what's called breathing, right? It looks like it's wind and thunder?"
After accumulating strength, he jumped high, then Lingguang landed silently on the eaves, squatting on a high place to watch the battle below.
The two ghost hunters' fighting styles were different, yet they seemed somewhat similar. But to be honest, all breathing techniques were essentially similar.
After all, it's all about killing ghosts.
Ji Nu and Coke are not easy to deal with, and Ling Guang is very qualified to give such an evaluation.
But that doesn't mean there are no opportunities.
Ghosts, after all, lose their heads. And rage, like cola, has a flaw: it requires charging. Both the palm-leaf fan and the staff have a short charging time.
Lin Guang rarely sensed hostility or danger from ghosts. Most of the time, it was the sharp and crisp sound of the iron rings colliding that told him to move. The rest was simple: run. Lightning didn't spread across the entire battlefield in an instant, so running fast enough would dodge it.
It is easier said than done. If Rinkou had not been avoiding a "demon" like Kokushibo before, it would have been difficult for him to get the upper hand over Ji Nu.
For ghost hunters, this is even more difficult.
Most ghost hunters were killed before they had time to react or think. Some were quick-witted, but their physical prowess wasn't up to par. The few who were lucky enough to avoid the initial lightning strike and realize they needed a chance would be shattered by Coke's fan, leaving them with a bitter end...

"Thunder Breath, Form of Freedom, Far Thunder."
It was just a blink of an eye, a very brief moment. The distance he had gained by dodging the lightning a second ago was wiped out in the blink of an eye. Ji Nu realized his intention, raised his staff, aimed at the impact point, and prepared to attack.
"Breath of the Wind, Second Form, Claw Claw, Koto Wind!"
The blade hit the staff, but this time it was not the harsh friction sound after the collision of iron objects, but the crisp sound of one of them breaking.
Wonderful reactions and beautiful coordination are probably the greatest advantages of human beings, far surpassing the unity of ghosts.
The two ghost heads separated from their bodies and flew high into the sky.
"Thunder Breathing... looks really bad... I feel like I'll be easily caught by this ghost swordsman."
Lin Guang complained softly, not at all worried or bothered by Cola's head taking off.
"Even if our heads are chopped off, we won't die. Isn't that amazing—"
"Very impressive... Ah, so Hantengou's head is the one that can't fall off."
"That's right, Little Bean learns very quickly, so you have to keep an eye on him during the battle. After all, the old man is the weakest, just like you, Little Bean, so you have to protect him."
That being said...
But it is not easy to find a mouse that runs faster than a rabbit in such a huge battlefield.
When Lingguang thought of this, he couldn't help but flick the old man on the head in his palm. The old man, who was trembling with fear, could only shiver and mutter "bad guy, bad guy".
"How delightful! I haven't been out to play for a long time!"
A high, resonant bird song rang out, along with the unfamiliar sound of flapping wings, a bit like cola. When Lin Guang raised his head, a gust of wind swept past his head.
"Ah...it can fly."
Lin Guang's eyes lit up.

This time, the one responsible for catching the rabbit was not Ji Nu but the new little bird.
"It's such a small fellow. Ji Nu, have you finally decided to raise a child to play with?"
Kongxi circled in the sky and looked around twice before he simply grabbed and lifted Lingguang from the beam and threw him towards Aijue with malicious intent.
Ai Jue tilted his head slightly to look at the boy who was falling straight towards him. He raised his spear, twisted the spear with his wrist and turned it half a circle, then used the spear head to steadily hold the falling child.
"At such a young age, he's already become a ghost... How pathetic."
"What's there to be sad about? This is really wonderful. He's such a young child, but he's a little bit--quite capable. If it weren't for the old man, there would be no chance of discovering him."
Kong Xi landed on the ground, folded his arms and observed the boy who was quietly hanging on the tip of the gun. It was the first time he saw another ghost around them.
"Hey—are you scared, little kid? Why aren't you talking?"
Cola took the silent Rinko away from the two of them and shook him by the back of his collar.
"Hello—hello—are you listening? Little Bean—"
"Listening."
Lin Guang finally uttered his first words while shaking.
"Then why didn't you answer me, little one? Are you scared?"
"Of course not. I was just wondering..."
Lin Guang paused appropriately, his gaze shifted from Coke to Ai Jue, then swept across Kong Xi and Ji Nu, and finally returned to Coke.
"Your house... there are so many people."
A familiar silence briefly surrounded Lin Guang, and the clear sound of his heartbeat rang in his ears.
Has he seen this scene before?
