From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 309 A Fated Burial Ground

Uesugi Kotsushi hummed a song no one could understand, and resolutely stepped into the boundless wave of corpses.

The terrifying gravity of the dark corona caused light that approached it to be distorted in an unbelievable way, just like a real black hole. Everything within the 'Schwarzschild radius' was dragged towards the center of that dark corona, where it was burned into carbon by the terrifying heat.

The heavy blade fell, slicing the corpses, carbonized by the high temperature, into pieces.

The torrential rain couldn't extinguish the burning passion in Uesugi Kotetsu's heart at that moment. Carrying a travel bag and wielding two swords, he forcefully pushed the already ashore Shimori Shio back to the beach.

Uesugi Kotsugi approached the enormous Corpse King step by step, leaving behind a trail of bones and blood.

The brilliance of the black sun grew ever brighter and hotter!
Such a powerful incantation is inherently difficult to sustain, yet Uesugi Kotsugu showed no signs of fatigue. On the contrary, he appeared to be growing stronger with each battle, advancing with an air of superiority and maintaining an overwhelming advantage. He wielded his two Tang-style swords in a circular motion, the blades cutting through the hard bones of the corpse guardians, occasionally splattering dazzling sparks, like welding rods cutting through steel.

Whenever the blade became dull, he would simply discard it and pull out a new one from his travel bag.

Every sword that Izumi no Kami Kanesada, Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, Hizen no Kuni Tadakichi, and Mikazuki Munechika drew was a priceless national treasure.

At this moment, however, the only value of those national treasures was to help him kill more corpse guards.

The discarded national treasure knives were all worn down to the point of being damaged, like dull saw teeth, and completely unusable.

Crushing bones and blood, the old man raised his head high, his dazzling golden eyes revealing supreme majesty: "You want my blood, is that it? Then come and take it yourself!"

The Corpse Guardian King that climbed ashore was as big as a whale. Its hard bones still bore the horrific wounds from the Judgment of Uesugi Erii's Word of Power. But for some reason, this Corpse Guardian King, resurrected by alchemy, had grown back tendons and flesh.

The dragon-shaped Corpse King flapped its jet-black bone wings and let out a silent roar, launching a ferocious attack against any human who dared to challenge it.

The jagged wing bones cleaved the ground like sharp knives, and cement flew out like projectiles, so sharp that it was like a giant saber, with a cruel and violent gale, as if it wanted to cut through the dense rain curtain, its target Uesugi Kotsugi.

Two-Ten Ichi-ryu - Great Kasaya Slash!
Uesugi Kotsugu combined his two swords and raised them high above his head. As he took a half-step forward, he unleashed a simple and direct downward slash.

Someone once asked this question: If an ordinary person with no sword skills had a way to defeat a master swordsman?

The answer is: Yes.

Raise the knife above your head, wait for the moment you're about to be struck, and then chop down with all your might.

The Great Kesa Slash, also known as the 'Sacrifice Technique,' is, as the name suggests, a strike that sacrifices defense and life, unleashing all one's strength.

As the blade rubbed against the air, it became as hot as lava.

Amidst a piercing roar, Uesugi Kotsushi forcefully unleashed a sonic boom, his formidable physique, empowered by dragon blood, unleashing unimaginable power.

The swords, imbued with immense force, slammed violently into the bone wings.

when! ! !
Sparks flew as metal clashed.

The bone wings, with a hardness comparable to steel, along with the two national treasure swords, disintegrated in the flying sparks.

Drawing two swords from his travel bag again, Uesugi Kotetsu exhaled a scorching breath, then slammed his foot into the ground. The terrifying force caused the surrounding area to crack and collapse. Amidst the shattered fissures, he was like a cannonball, tearing a violent wind dragon through the torrential rain. Beneath the black sun high in the sky, the enormous dragon-shaped Corpse King roared as it was dragged towards the center of destruction.

The extreme heat caused its newly activated cells to fall into destruction and dormancy once again. Its blood-red muscles withered under the black sun's rays. As if sensing the approach of death, it spread its remaining bone wings under the frenzied manipulation of alchemy and crashed into the sun with its whale-like body.

In that instant, Dragon-shaped Corpse Guardian and Uesugi Yue seemed to transcend thousands of years, simultaneously charging at each other!

Two days of first-class style, the sharpest cut from a carp's mouth!
Unlike Angers's extreme speed, Uesugi Kotsu's draw slash is more inclined towards violence.

The extreme violence, the power poured into the blade, cleaved the torrential rain in two with a single stroke. Its immense force even surpassed the surging tides, appearing from afar like a fiery red meteor with a long trail of flame. Finally, it collided with the ferocious and majestic dragon-shaped corpse guardian, instantly unleashing an unparalleled roar and shockwave.

Boom! ! !
The shockwave from the impact caused the torrential rain to vanish.

The blade struck the dragon-shaped corpse's facial bones, causing it to tilt backward. Given their combined weight, this should have been impossible, but Uesugi Kotsuki managed to do it.

This is practically like a human body trying to crash into a high-speed train.

A shockwave, clearly visible to the naked eye, spread out. The terrifying impact was like a cannonball, sending all the surrounding corpse guards flying. The Ghost-Toothed Dragon Viper was torn apart by extreme violence, its fragments scattering along with the rain.

The dragon-shaped corpse guardian roared as its facial bones were shattered, but it was crushed by the massive black sun crown. Every inch of its skin and flesh evaporated into ashes in the high temperature. Uesugi Kotsushi, bathed in blood, discarded his shattered twin swords again, drew two new swords, and roared as he charged into the tide of corpse guardians.

"old man."

Angers gazed at the dark sun, which was still advancing amidst the tide of corpses, and seemed to understand his thoughts.

“Angers, you are a devil.” Uesugi Yue’s voice came through the headset, mixed with heavy breathing and a trace of sadness: “Someone once told me that my fate was to be submerged by the black tide. I didn’t believe it. But in the end, I still couldn’t escape it.”

"What destiny? Who told you that?"

Angers was startled, but the image of the blond youth inexplicably appeared in his mind.

No wonder, from the very beginning, Uesugi Kotsugu showed an extremely unwilling attitude, as if this artificial island in the sea was a road leading straight to the underworld in his eyes.

So this was Uesugi Kotsuki's destiny, huh?

Uesugi Kotsugi, completely surrounded by the tide of corpses, had his muscular back covered in demonic dragon vipers.

These malevolent creatures used by the dragon race for execution were desperately tearing at his back, trying to burrow into his flesh, crush every bone, and devour every piece of flesh.

Not only the Corpse Guardians, but also these frenzied Demon Tooth Dragon Vipers have surged out of Takamagahara. However, they are very small and lurk beneath the dark sea surface, making them extremely difficult to detect. Now, their numbers are unbelievable, turning large areas of the seawater silvery-blue!
It's hard to imagine the kind of pain Uesugi Koshi endured to keep fighting the Corpse Guardians.

Although the Black Sun is powerful, it is not invincible.

Its effective range is limited to the user's front; the back is its greatest weakness, and Uesugi Kotsushi, who is trapped in the encirclement, obviously has no one to help him out.

Uesugi Kotsuki remained calm, gripping his twin swords, and said indifferently, "This is the place where I am destined to die!"

I wonder if the black-haired boy had foreseen this scene beforehand?
