Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 531: Imperial Shadow (Ten Thousand Rewards and More)
"Oh no, that's not good." At this point, Sanada Ryumasa suddenly realized something and shouted, "Oh no!"

Ryomine Sadayoshi asked, "Dazai-sama, what happened?"

"Since Shenwu Xiongba and his son have experts to help them, it means that the ambushing Erosion Ghost and his men are in danger."

Mo Zhaonu said: "Go and support them quickly, I hope it's still in time."

"Ah."

The three rushed to where the Eclipse Ghost was, and saw only corpses on the ground.

Ryumasa Sanada found the body of the Eclipse Demon among the pile of corpses.

"What a domineering swordsmanship." Mo Zhaonu stepped forward to check it out and took a breath.

Sanada Ryumasa commented: "Ergui fought back vigorously, but was killed by the attacker with a single blow, and even the precious sword in his hand was broken by the opponent's sword energy."

Ryomine Sadayosuke saw the clue based on the lingering sword power on the broken blade, "In the Japanese martial arts world, there are only a handful of people who can have such a level of cultivation. Looking at the broken blade of the Erosion Ghost Sword, the lingering melancholy reminds me of someone."

Mo Zhaonu had not been back to Japan for a long time, so he naturally did not know the changes in the Japanese martial arts world over the years. He asked, "Who?"

"The best master of the Japanese royal family, Huang Ying." Ryomine Sadayosuke slowly read out a name.

Sanada Ryumasa looked unhappy, "It turned out to be him. Even he has surrendered to the Soul Burial Emperor."

"Dazai knows this person."

"Huang Yinglai is from the royal family. Before he was twenty years old, he had wealth that ordinary people could not even dream of, and he also had power over everyone else."

“But all this changed in one day.”

Mo Zhaonu asked, "Is this change due to the ghost sacrifice?"

Sanada Ryumasa admitted, "That's right. That day, Huang Ying took his wife and children out for a walk to relax. When they came back, they saw corpses all over the ground and the demon festival's men."

"Although Huang Ying fought back, he was no match for Gui Ji's elite soldiers. His wife was killed and his life was in danger. Fortunately, he was saved by the master Liu Sheng Wu Wang. From then on, Huang Ying, who had escaped death, realized his own weakness and that everything he had was nothing but a passing cloud. So he took his savior Liu Sheng Wu Wang as his master, and in just ten days, he learned all of Liu Sheng Wu Wang's lifelong martial arts."

At this point, Sanada Ryumasa asked Mo Zhaonu, "Do you know what the first thing Huang Ying did after he left the sect?"

"Challenging my own master, Yagyu Hopeless."

"That's right." Sanada Ryumasa confirmed Mo Zhaonu's answer and continued, "His mentor Liu Sheng Wuwang was defeated by Huang Ying and killed by him. This was also the first person he killed.

"Then, Huang Ying, who was in his twenties, heard that a family in a certain place in Japan had forged a rare magic weapon called the Jingji Sword, so he went to ask for the sword. No one in this family had ever been able to wield this sword, so the head of the family told the warriors who came to see it that whoever could wield the Jingji Sword would own it. However, the ten fingers of the mediocre swordsman who rashly wielded the sword were immediately broken by it. In the end, Huang Ying successfully wielded the Jingji Sword with his unique courage and skills, and received the Jingji Sword Inheritance. He then disappeared for a while. When he reappeared, he killed Gui Ji and defeated all the masters in Japan. After that, he fell silent."

"Next, let me tell you." Liangfeng Zhenyi revealed a secret that no one knew. "After Huang Ying got the Jingji Sword, he couldn't control it as he wished. The reason was that he and the sword couldn't communicate with each other, which made Huang Ying's cultivation stagnate and it was difficult for him to make any progress. After much confusion, in order to communicate with Jingji, Huang Ying stayed in front of the Jingji Sword day and night, without sleep or food. His only son gave up Jingji to impress Huang Ying and stayed by his side. Due to not sleeping or eating, his son actually starved to death."

"But Huang Ying never changed his mind. The death of his only son made Huang Ying believe that the knife was his only life."

"After his only son died, Huang Ying did not feel sad at all. He thought hard for three days and three nights, and even thought until his forehead burst. Then he suddenly realized that his heart could no longer accommodate anything other than the Jingji Knife. Huang Ying realized that emotions, wealth, and fame were all burdens for practicing the knife. Only by giving up everything and having nothing can he match the knife. In the end, Huang Ying gave up everything and communicated with the Jingji Knife. He realized the seven styles of knife meaning, which are: chaos, sorrow, pride, stupidity, tranquility, coldness, and anger. In order to cut off the last trace of distracting thoughts in his heart, he found the man who had destroyed him. The family's ghost festival, when the military god annihilated the ghost festival army and the Kirigakure Castle. There was no general left in the ghost festival army. No one could stop Huang Ying, and he was killed all the way to the ghost festival's residence. The ghost festival then fought fiercely with Huang Ying, and in the end, the ghost festival died under Huang Ying's sword. After breaking the knot in his heart, Huang Ying's strength increased greatly, so he challenged a group of famous masters in Japan, but no one was his opponent. "Until the end, he met the sword saint Yagyu Kenying. After a fierce battle between the two sides, although Huang Ying broke the third form of the sword saint's "Ten Thousand Gods", he was stopped by the sword saint because he was not sure he could take on the fourth form of the sword saint. "

"How did you know this?"

Ryomine Sadayoshi said: "I was with the Sword Saint at the time. After Huang Ying found the Sword Saint, he told him all his experiences to show his respect for the Sword Saint and his own martial arts spirit."

Mo Zhaonu sighed: "What a terrible and respectable enemy."

"This also shows how deep the secret deployment of the Soul Burial Emperor in Japan is. Even masters like Huang Ying can be controlled by him, not to mention the father and son of Shenwu Xiongba and the two masters who have never been seen."

The more he understood his opponent's strength, the more frightened he became. Sanada Ryuzheng asked Mo Zhaonu, "Mo Zhaonu, is the Soul Burial Emperor really just a powerful person occupying the Eastern Wulin?"

"In fact, I just learned that the true identity of the Soul Burial Emperor is the crown prince of the Purple Glory Dynasty, the incarnation of Lord Shaoyang."

"Shaoyang Jun, you mean that the Soul Burial Emperor is just an incarnation of this person, and that Japan is already facing the danger of national destruction."

"Although I don't want to admit it, it is true. Even in such a difficult situation, it is still necessary to reverse the situation to show the ability of Lord Dazai. Just like when Lord Dazai arranged for the Eight Soul Sword to be given to Mo Zhaonu in the past."

"I did make a mistake regarding the Eight Soul Sword." Sanada Ryumasa knew he was in the wrong, and now he had to join forces with Mo Zhaonu to fight against the terrifying Soul Burial Emperor, so he admitted his mistake immediately.

Liangfeng Zhenyi also said: "Mo Zhaonu, I wonder if you have any way to stop the impending war."

"It is not the right time yet, so I cannot speak clearly. However, I have some ideas about the injuries on the God of War."

"What method?"

Mo Zhaonu uttered three words, "Shenye Mountain."
-
Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
Within the Netherworld’s Dark Spring, the Ghost Night Mother Liaona, along with the Beheaded Ghost Dharma and others, absorbed the rich demonic energy of the Dark Spring.

At this moment, a loud noise was heard, accompanied by a strong vibration, which made the water in Youquan spring restless.

"Yes, enemies are coming." Liaona led the evil spirits out.

The visitors were none other than Wuming, who led the army of Ziyao Dynasty.

"Devil, be punished."

Liaona laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Hahahahahaha, I didn't expect that blood food would be delivered to my door. The Ghost Night Mother can only refuse it disrespectfully."

As soon as he finished speaking, reinforcements arrived. They were the Buddha-Swallowing Boy and Silver-Handed Tattooed Warrior sent by the Otherworldly Demon Realm.

The nameless person said, "The Buddha-devouring boy, the silver-tipped and tattooed warrior, it turns out that the demon world is colluding with the Ghost Night Mother."

Thanks to Wu Mengsheng for the generous reward.
