Path Of Blood - 82 Chapter 74

Weiss charged straight towards Haruki. But before she could reach him, a shadow blocked her strike and kicked her back towards her teammates.

They finally noticed the two shadows that was hiding behind Haruki. Then as they were going to charge once more, they felt a towering presence behind them. They felt choked from the sheer pressure she was emitting.

They slowly turned around and saw a Girl wearing a White Fang mask, with a great sword strapped behind her back. They could see the grin plastered on her face as she stood behind them imposingly.

“Oi Oi, You can’t just attack the boss right away now can you?” Kurenai said as she released her bloodlust towards the Four of them. Team RWBY could barely stand from the sheer pressure. They stood readily waiting for the next attack to come.

But before Kurenai could even do anything an even more stronger bloodlust dominated the area. “Kurenai get back here…” Not a single one of them could utter a word except the twins. “Yes, Master…” Kurenai instantly appeared beside Haruki and so did Yushu.

Weiss frowned even further. She thought to herself, ‘What more is he hiding? Who are these two?’

The white fang members stood in front of Haruki, He and Roman boarded the train since it has started moving. Kurenai and Yushu followed suit. Leaving the grunts to deal with Team RWBY.

“If you can’t even deal with this small fry don’t even think on getting to our master!” Kurenai bellowed as she taunted them. This irritated Yang even Further. She wanted to charge towards Kurenai and “gently” ask some questions.

Blake stopped Yang on her tracks and as Yang looked towards Blake, she shook her head. “Yang, don’t… She’s right we’ll catch up to them eventually.”

Weiss on the other hand started clearing out the White Fang small fry. She created glyphs surrounding the White Fang Goons. She dashed from one enemy to another. Slashing them till they faint. Yang opened her eyes wide, Weiss is clearly pissed.

In a span of few seconds the White Fang goons, have already fallen down to the ground. Weiss created glyphs as a platform to step on to catch up with the train. She looked behind her, “Are you guys coming or not?”

They woke up from being in a daze and quickly caught up to Weiss. “Uhh Weiss? Are you okay?”

Weiss nodded Her head, “I’m perfectly fine…” She sounded calm but the deep rage she held deep within could be felt by her teammates. They finally caught up to the train. They jumped on the platform on the furthest end of the train.

Roman looked towards Haruki, “This is the part where I bail kid. See you around!” He bowed towards the direction of Haruki, then he jumped off immediately.

Yushu looked towards Haruki, “Are you sure you want to just let him escape?” Haruki nodded towards her question. “It doesn’t matter, what matters is that those four stop the train from being delivered.”

Yushu started walking towards the furthest cart of the train. Kurenai followed after her sister. “Hope they don’t disappoint us! They are, after all your apprentices of sorts.” She looked back towards her master. Haruki smiled towards her question, “Learn to hold back now you two.”

“Bahh, Master~ You’re no fun~~” Kurenai walked away while putting both her hands behind her head. Yushu on the other hand rolled her eyes, “Ugh, what a pain…It makes me want to die…”

Haruki climbed up the top of the train. He wanted to take his time and look around the train without being spotted. He would switch the bombs with duds so the Grimm don’t swarm Vale. He used lightning form and zipped across the entire train. Checking the insides of the carts thoroughly.

————-

Team RWBY charged through the carts quickly, defeating all the White Fang Goons that stood in their way. Weiss created a large glyph under the carriage that they were in. Freezing it.

They quickly jumped over the next one and severed the carriage. “Weiss! You’re using too much of your aura.” Blake immediately told off Weiss and held her shoulder. Weiss gripped her blade and breathed slowly. “You’re right Blake. I need to calm down.”

As they were about to move on to the next, Ruby furrowed her brose and spoke. “Hmm, There’s no more White Fang Members around. This could only mean one thing… I’m aweso- -”

Suddenly Yang pulled Ruby back, away from the door in front of them. A few seconds later multiple blue arcs slashed towards their direction. The Train Doors were cut into pieces, revealing two beautiful yet intimidating girls in front of them. One was holding a blue scythe, while the other was holding a massive red Great sword over her shoulders.

“I didn’t get a clear look earlier, but you four are our masters apprentices right? Hmm… I guess you guys would do…” Kurenai said as she scrutinized the four of them. Weiss furrowed her brows, “What do you mean by your master? How long have you guys been trained by him?”

Yushu stopped Kurenai from telling the truth by raising her hand. “We were only trained by him for only a few days. It’s seriously a pain…” She said dejectedly as she swung her scythe once more severing the cart that Team RWBY was on.

“Hey! Wait!” Weiss immediately chased after the two and her teammates followed suit. As they landed on the open carriage. Explosions resounded behind them. They all looked back at the carts they were previously on and it was on fire. They all thought who detonated the bombs? But then they saw the white fang members they supposedly defeated running towards a door that was hidden behind a huge rubble.

A few Grimm emerged from the holes created by the blasts. The white Fang goons were nowhere to be seen, So the Grimm targeted the moving train. They chased after it like a pack of rabid dogs.

On top of the Train was Haruki and he narrowed his eyes, “Tch, I was too late to stop those huh?” He Turned into his Lightning Emperor form and created hundreds of lightning Spears.

Below the carriage Haruki was standing on was Team RWBY and The Twins. That’s why he immediately eliminated the Grimm that were following them. Hundreds of lightning Spears illuminated the darks tunnel. Following it were the dying screams of Grimm being electrocuted and burning to death. Followed by the sound of bats eating away at the fallen Grimm.

Weiss noticed that Haruki was probably on top of the train, she wanted to climb up but the two twins in front of her were strong enough to crush them without even trying.

Yushu them spoke towards their direction, “Master has started already, How about we start the fight too? I still have to play my games. Ugh! What a pain…” Kurenai giggled beside her sister as she swung her massive blade. The entire carriage was cleaved in half. Team RWBY instantly ducked as they sensed the danger from her swing.

Haruki had no choice but to flip onto the next roof. The roof of the carriage he was standing on before flew towards the Grimm.

*Boom!* Another explosion resounded. Before the roof exploded he saw a bomb stuck on it. When Kurenai cleaved it, it was probably because she saw it. Haruki was wrong. She swung her blade to show them her strength. Yushu on the other hand Knows what Kurenai did and just shrugged her shoulders.

Yang immediately charged towards Kurenai after the explosion, “You can’t swing that massive blade if you don’t have enough time!” Kurenai only smirked towards her, and blocked her strikes with one hand only. She was parrying off Yang’s strikes like it’s nothing. Yang kicked towards her face, But Kurenai took the blow while grinning. She struck Yang in the stomach with the handle of her blade. Sending Her back towards her teammates.

Blake followed suit as she dashed towards Kurenai, Kurenai immediately swung her blade and struck Blake. But the one she struck crumbled into rocks as the real Blake tried to kick her in the back of the head.

Yushu immediately stepped in and punched towards Blake’s incoming kick. The two collided and they both stepped back. Ruby quickly charged towards Kurenai swinging her scythe diagonally. Kurenai flipped and left her sword stabbed on the trains floor platform.

She cracked her knuckles, “Fine, Hand to Hand combat it is then. I can’t swing my blade anyways so you guys just have to get beat the old fashioned way.”

Kurenai and Yang moved at the same time, sending a punch towards each other. They exchange blows, each strike gets faster and stronger each time. Dodge then strike, rinse and repeat. Kurenai felt something was amiss every time Kurenai hits Yang, her strikes gets even more stronger.

“Hooh, So that is your power huh? Not bad… Not bad at all…” She grinned like a madman. She kept on Striking Yang even Faster this time. To make her even stronger. They were immersed in their own battle. Not noticing the other three sneak by towards Yushu.

Yushu on the other Hand was focusing solely on the three that snuck by, “Your friend… she’s not bad, to be able to make Kurenai smile like that… Her power is something else entirely. Too bad your opponent is me. I don’t like enjoying fights and I want to finish this instantly.” She drew a line between them and Herself. She raised her hand and urged them to come at her.
