One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 476: Supreme Swordsman Li Yuan

So, even though they realized how terrifying Barrett was and knew that the World Government was at an absolute disadvantage and that they might even die in the next moment, they still did not retreat.

No eggs will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned. Even the Celestial Dragons know this truth. Once they retreat, the World Government will be defeated like a river bursting its banks. In the end, they still cannot escape the liquidation of the Pirate Alliance.

The only way now is to stabilize this battlefield and wait for Im, the king of the world in the sky, to defeat Li Yuan. Then Im will naturally kill all these pirates, and the final victory will still belong to them, the Celestial Dragons!
"Qingjiao's opponent is interesting. I haven't fought enough yet, so I'll choose him!"

After Barrett adjusted his condition, he looked around and chose another opponent, who was Qingjiao's opponent at the moment.

In his opinion, Qingjiao is undoubtedly stronger than his opponent, and defeating him is only a matter of time.

But now on the battlefield, what is most lacking is time.

The best result is to win this war as quickly as possible, and then combine all the strength of the Pirate Alliance to fight against Im together with Li Yuan!

Although he believed that Li Yuan could defeat Im without their help, he would not forget that the World Government still had the trump card of the Ancient Weapon King.

Therefore, no matter whether Li Yuan needs their help or not, it is very necessary for them to get rid of the people from the World Government as quickly as possible and then disperse the personnel to prevent them from being caught in one fell swoop by the King of Heaven!

"Damn it, Barrett is targeting me!"

Eduardo Sanchez, who was fighting with Green Pepper, noticed that Barrett was rushing towards him, and his face suddenly turned black!

His battlefield was close to Barrett's original battlefield. After Antonine's death, he had been paying attention to Barrett's actions, secretly praying in his heart that Barrett would not choose him, but he did not expect that Barrett really chose him!

“Hahahahahaha, Qingjiao, let’s team up and beat this guy to death!”

Barrett rushed over and said to Qingjiao with a laugh.

Originally, Qingjiao wanted to defeat his opponent alone, but now Barrett came to compete with him for the opponent, so Barrett naturally had to say hello to Qingjiao.

"No problem, let's join forces!"

"Eight Punches·Cone Head!"

Green Pepper naturally had no objection to this. He flew up in an instant and rushed directly towards Sanchez with the cone head on his head.

"Eight Punches, Eightfold Strength!"

After seeing that Green Pepper agreed, Barrett sandwiched Sanchez from the other side.

"Damn it, bastard, I'm not that clown Antoné!"

Sanchez was very tough in words, but his body fled from here at the fastest speed. He could barely survive even hitting a green pepper, and he would definitely die if he added a Barrett.

So when he realized that Barrett was coming for him, he immediately prepared to escape.

As for where to escape to, the only thing to do was to not let him face two enemies alone. He still understood Dong Yin, the source of trouble.

However, his little thoughts had long been seen through by Green Pepper and Barrett. The two of them tacitly surrounded Sanchez and did not give him any chance to escape!
Above the sky:

"A rat who wanted to steal the throne of the king of the world is dying, and now you are the only rat left!!"

Im's cold voice came from the body covered in darkness.

"If I were a rat, then you would be rat shit that has lived for eight hundred years. You have been ruining the throne of the king of the world for eight hundred years. But rat shit is still rat shit after all. It is something that comes out of a rat's ass. Now that the rat has returned, it's time for the rat shit to give way!!"

Li Yuan had never lacked the ability to use words, but most of the time, he had neither the target nor the opportunity to use them. Because most of the time, before he could even finish his words, he had already chopped off the enemy's head.

Having said that, Li Yuan still entered the human-beast form as soon as possible, and the Seven-Star Sword appeared from his body into his hand.

Countless amounts of blood gushed out of his body, and the blood condensed into blood-red armor worn on his body. This was very similar to the state in which Im wrapped his entire body with the power of darkness.

It’s just that Li Yuan’s blood power is not as strange and overbearing as the opponent’s dark power. His blood power is more about enhancing internal body strength rather than external destructive power!

"cut!!"

Perhaps stimulated by Li Yuan's words, he had not yet uttered the last two words when the dark slash that frightened the golden lion had already split the sky.

When facing Im's dark slash personally, Li Yuan finally understood why this slash was so powerful.

In addition to the great swordsman's top-level sword intent and the power of darkness, the most important thing is that the dark slash was integrated with Im's extremely domineering armed color domineering.

This kind of Armament Haki is simply incredibly powerful. If the world's top Armament Haki is liquid, then Im's Armament Haki is completely solid.

This kind of Armament Haki is a level stronger than their Armament Haki, and Im's skills in using Armament Haki are extremely superb. At least Li Yuan can't understand what techniques that kind of Armament Haki is used for now, but he can bring the power of Armament Haki to the extreme!

Facing Im's dark slash, even though Li Yuan had the speed to dodge it, he still didn't dodge at all. This was the arrogance of being the world's number one swordsman. No one in the world was worthy of being able to dodge the slash!

The moment he clenched the Seven Star Sword with both hands, an extremely powerful sword intent burst out. This sword intent has surpassed the scope of sword intent in this world. It can't even be said to be sword intent, but sword soul!

After completing the ninth level of Sword God Body Tempering Technique, Li Yuan completed his blood training and developed a true Sword God Body.

His three sword intents: Wuji Sword Intent, Haiyuan Sword Intent, and Xueluo Sword Intent, also further transformed on the basis of having already reached the peak.

However, at this time Li Yuan did not choose to transform the three sword intents at the same time. After all, the original Haiyuan Sword Intent and Xuelu Sword Intent were derived from the Wuji Sword Intent. They can be said to be two extreme manifestations of the Wuji Sword Intent.

Taking advantage of the transformation, he transformed the Blood Slaughter Sword Intent and the Sea Abyss Sword Intent into nourishment for the Wuji Sword Intent, pushing the Wuji Sword Intent to a new peak once again, and then letting the sword intent enter his soul and transform into the Wuji Sword Soul!
If one can become a great swordsman after possessing sword intent in this world, then Li Yuan has now transformed sword intent into sword soul, making him the first supreme swordsman in the world to possess sword soul!
"Infinite Sword Soul, Blood Moon Soaring into the Sky!"

As the Seven Star Sword slashed down, the Infinite Sword Soul, the Armament Haki, and the power of blood completely merged, and a blood-colored moon slashed up into the sky, like a blood moon with a soul flying into space.

When the Dark Slash and the Blood Moon Slash collided in the air, the power of the two slashes completely exploded, and the terrifying might swept across the entire world.

Layer after layer of earth-shattering aftermath of the impact spread out from the air. Even though the two slashes collided ten thousand meters in the sky, Mary Geoise ten thousand meters below was still hit by the shock wave and turned into a category twelve hurricane. Even Mary Geoise, which had originally turned into ruins, had even larger and countless cracks because of this!

If the Golden Lion's last crazy move "Heaven and Earth Burial" was equivalent to a cannon explosion, then the collision between Im and Li Yuan was like the power of a dynamite rock exploding. The two were completely not on the same level!

The dark slash carried Yimu's sword intent, but it was easily destroyed in front of the Wuji Sword Soul. However, Yimu's Armament Haki was too strong, and the devouring power of the dark power was too strange. Li Yuan's Armament Haki was not as good as Yimu's Armament Haki, and the power of blood was not as good as the devouring power of darkness, so the two slashes were deadlocked in the air.

"Tear!!!"

But the stalemate only lasted for a moment. As the Wuji Sword Soul destroyed the sword intent in the dark slash, under the power of the Wuji Sword Soul, the dark power and armed color domineering that left Im's body were all destroyed by the Wuji Sword Soul. Even the Blood Moon Slash still slashed towards Im with great force and invincibility.

"This is a completely new sword intent. No, it should be said to be a completely new sword art that transcends the boundaries of the world!"

Seeing that his dark slash was defeated, Im looked at the oncoming blood moon slash with some surprise. He saw something in this slash that far exceeded his own sword intent.

He was very familiar with that thing, because his Armament Haki was also based on the original one, and after surpassing the limit, it became one of his strongest powers today!

"But this is not enough to defeat me!"

Im's surprise disappeared in an instant. Facing the oncoming attack, he did not retreat. He raised his hand and punched out.

Kendo is just a branch of his power system, his strongest weapon is still his fist!
"Crack!!!"

Im's pitch-black fist smashed into the huge Blood Moon Slash. In an instant, the entire Blood Moon Slash was shattered by Im's punch and turned into countless fragments that dissipated in the air.

"Interesting power!"

Im looked at his fist with great interest. His fist was obviously wrapped in extremely hard armed color domineering, and the dark power was attached to absorb all damage. His fist did not suffer any injuries from the Blood Moon Slash, but he clearly felt the long-lost pain from his fist.

When he saw that his fist was not injured at all, he knew that the pain did not come from his body, but from his soul.

In other words, the slash just now hurt his soul. Although the damage was not great and he could recover easily, it was true that Li Yuan had hurt him. This was the first time he had been injured in eight hundred years!

Marijoa Battlefield:

"Is this the power of Li Yuan, the world's number one? It's too terrifying. Is this really a power that humans can control?"

The collision between Li Yuan and Im ten thousand meters in the sky shocked many top warriors fighting on Mary Geoise.

Even though it was so far away, it could still cause such a huge shock to Mary Geoise. Even the aftermath caused many people to be injured. It was simply incredibly powerful.

“How can this sword intent be so strong? This is clearly not sword intent, but an existence at a higher level than sword intent. Otherwise, it would not be possible for my sword intent to be blocked!”

Compared to other strong men, those great swordsmen were the ones who were truly shocked. They thought that sword intent was already the highest realm of swordsmanship in this world, but they did not expect that there was a higher and stronger power above sword intent!
This made many kendo masters feel both fearful and excited, because there was a new breakthrough in kendo, which meant that there was no upper limit to the path of kendo, it was just that they had not reached that level.

Among the many great swordsmen, the one most affected was undoubtedly Nasu Shoulangsheng, one of the Five Elder Stars. At the moment when the power of the Infinite Sword Soul burst out, the sword that Nasu Shoulangsheng was about to strike out suddenly revealed a flaw!

"Follow me like a shadow!"

Wei Zhuang seized this flaw and used the power of the dark night to instantly appear behind Nasu Shoulangsheng.

"Horizontal Sword Technique: Crossing All Directions!"

As the sword was slashed out, it was as if eight swords were slashing at the same time. The eight Wei Zhuangs transformed by the power of shadow used eight different horizontal sword techniques from eight different directions to completely cover Nasu Shoulang Sheng.

"not good!!"

Seeing this situation, Nasu Shoulang Sheng wanted to dodge in the air, but the power of shadow had already locked him in place, and he had no choice but to take Wei Zhuang's sword!
"Crack!!!"

In desperation, Nasujuro Sei used the first generation of Kitetsu and his own superb swordsmanship to block Wei Zhuang's four swords, but four swords still hit him.

The horse skeleton body was immediately chopped into pieces by Wei Zhuang. Every hard bone was cut in half by the sword, and Nasu Shoulangsheng fell directly from the air to the ground.

But Wei Zhuang knew that although it seemed that Nasu Shoulang Sheng was seriously injured, in fact, for Nasu Shoulang Sheng who possessed an immortal body, this injury was not fatal at all.

"What is that thing that transcends sword intent?"

After Nasu Shoulangsheng stood up from the ground, his broken horse bone body began to heal itself, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Zhuang.

He is one of the Five Elder Stars who stands at the pinnacle of world power, but at the same time, he is also a senior swordsman.

He is also persistent in his pursuit of kendo.

Now that he has seen the new pinnacle of swordsmanship, he naturally wants to know what it is.

As the son of Li Yuan, the founder of Kendo New Peak, Wei Zhuang must know what that is!
"That is the sword spirit. Above the sword will is the sword spirit, and it is also the new pinnacle of the sword path!"

Although the two sides are enemies, the other party is also a great swordsman who pursues kendo. Wei Zhuang naturally did not hesitate to answer such questions.

In fact, he had known about the existence of the Sword Soul for a long time. After Li Yuan's breakthrough, he let his son and daughter experience the existence and power of the Sword Soul firsthand.

But till now, Wei Zhuang still cannot break through to the level of the Great Swordsman and reach the realm of the Supreme Great Swordsman.

That realm was too vast and ethereal. Even though he had felt the power of the Sword Soul Realm several times, he still had no idea how to break through.

Even if Li Yuan told the key to the breakthrough, actually achieving the breakthrough is another matter!

"Sword Soul?"

“But even if Li Yuan breaks through the blockade of sword intent and reaches the sword soul realm, he is still no match for Lord Yimu. Lord Yimu’s power is far beyond your imagination!”

Nasujuro Sei said firmly.

The Five Elders have complete faith in Yim's strength. No one in this world can defeat Lord Yim who has lived for eight hundred years. Even Joey Boy eight hundred years ago was defeated by Lord Yim. Li Yuan eight hundred years later will also not be able to win.

"Humph, there is no one that cannot be killed by my father's sword. The King of the World has already reserved the location of the souls that will die under my father's sword!"

Wei Zhuang snorted coldly.
