The Shisei of Kuryuu Island 7 -Taikoubou Gives the Karyuuhyou to Kou Tenka- [170] KouTenka: This is a paopei which can control the earth! KouTenka: Let us deal with this guy! You older folks give your attention to the vortex there. KouHiko: Right! That guy's powers of regeneration are very strong, it's best to get rid of him first! KouTenka: Gotcha~~!! [171] KouTenka: I'm coming!! Youshin: Take that!! KouTenka: Eh!? [172] KouTenka: Aaack!! KouTenka: Damn it!! I can't get any closer!! KouTenka: Ah! [173] Youshin: The show hasn't even begun yet! KouTenka: Aaah!! [174-175] KouTenka: Oi...that was dangerous... KouTenka: Aiyah!! KouTenka: Aargh!! KouTenka: Aaah... [176] Tenshou: Brother Tenka!! KouFamily: Tenka!! KouFamily: !? KouHiko: Aiyah!! KouHiko: Everyone!! Kouyuuken: Youshin! It is not seeming for a sennin to kill a normal human!! (I killed before too.) Youshin: Oi! I didn't mean to... [177] Youshin: The only disadvantage of our paopei is.... The power is simply too strong, and can only be used against powerful armies. Using them on a smaller scale will lead to inevitable casualties... Bukichi: Every...everyone, are you all right? GoKen: You... Youshin: ! KouTenka: I know you didn't mean to, But if I don't kill you quickly... [178] KouTenka: I might lose those who are important to me... Taikoubou: Wait, Tenka! KouTenka: Shishu... Taikoubou: Heheheh...I finally regained some freedom. KouTenka: Good for you... Taikoubou: Listen, Tenka! Your Bakuya no Houken is only good for close-quarters combat. So I'm going to give you another paopei... [179] KouTenka: What is this? Taikoubou: It's a paopei of fire, Karyuuhyou! KouTenka: But, our training is incomplete, using another paopei would waste energy! Taikoubou: It's all right, you are gifted with using weapons. Taikoubou: So, I'm off for now! KouTenka: Shishu...you kinda look like a spider... KouTenka: All right! Since it's mine now... KouTenka: I might as well give it a try!! [180] Youshin: Karyuukyou!? Youshin: Argh!! Taikoubou: Oh! He's not bad!! Such random directions are the real powers of the Karyuuhyou. Youshin: Flames... KouTenka: This is kinda fun! [181] KouTenka: This way, we will be able to win easily!! Youshin: Don't be careless! Youshin: ! Youshin: Damn! The flames are keeping me from getting closer to Tenka! Kouyuuken: Hey! Don't worry Have you forgotten what my paopei is!? Kouyuuken: Water! Come forth!! [182] KouTenka: Hey~~~! My flames have been put out!! Taikoubou: .......... Forget about it... Taikoubou: Buseiou!! KouHiko: ! [183] KouHiko: Everyone, let's get out of here!! KouFamily: Eh!? How are we going to escape? KouHiko: Look! The water in the field is lessening! It was used up to extinguish Tenka's flames!! KouHiko: Even I could break through this!! Kouyuuken: Oh no!! [184] KouHiko: Then, we are getting out of here first! Tenka can deal with the enemy on his own!! Youshin: No! We must not let Buseiou escape!! For the sake of Bunchuu-sama... Youshin: !! KouTenka: Heh heh... I can finally make use of this Bakuya no Houken to fight... Youshin: When did you get here!? [185] Youshin: !!! KouTenka: Heh heh... KouTenka: No one has ever defeated me in close quarters combat!! Volume 5.
