Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 283 Not worth mentioning!
Xia Ye and Xu Xin both knew that the most important thing to destroy the demon sword was to get rid of the "sword spirit" inside it, which was also the source of the demon sword's power.

It can be said that the reason why each generation of "Demons" is so powerful, in addition to their own talents, is because of the power of the "sword spirit". They are not the masters of the demon sword, but on the contrary, the demon sword "Hirumaru" is the real "master".

The simplest way to destroy the demon sword, besides forcibly killing the sword spirit with its unbearable power, is to let the "sword spirit" attach to one person, and the other person fights with it in a sword duel and defeats it.

There is no doubt that the former is still very easy for Xia Ye, but if he wants to do so, there is no need to bring Xu Xin with him. As expected, Xu Xin chose to solve it by himself, which is also expected.

then……

Xia Ye walked forward, observed for a moment, and after confirming that there would be no problems, he bent down and picked up the demon sword "Hirumaru".

Wow!
At this moment, his eyes flashed, and he felt his consciousness being pulled into a black and white space. In front of him was a pitch-black figure, which was the spirit of the swordsmith that resided in the demon sword "Hirumaru"!
……

……

Speaking of which, this swordsmith has quite a story. He comes from a swordsmith family in Japan, and he himself is a rare genius... a sad soul.

His father was a famous swordsmith at the time, and many powerful warriors would ask him to forge swords for them. Because of this, this genius had opportunities that ordinary people rarely had since he was young, and was able to come into contact with countless powerful people.

Although he inherited the legacy of a swordsmith, he was very fascinated by swordsmanship, so he took this opportunity to learn from the strong men who came to ask for swords. The reason was:

"Knowing how to wield a sword makes for a better sword."

The warriors all agreed with this reason, and out of gratitude to his father for forging the sword or for other personal reasons, they were all willing to teach him some basic skills when he took the sword.

Even though it was just some basic sword skills, this genius was very satisfied. Apart from the training required to inherit his father's skills, he was immersed in wielding the sword he made for himself. This was everything in his life.

As time passed, his father, the warriors, and even the genius himself...no one noticed. Gradually...

A monster is born!
Later, the genius's father passed away, but he still grew up, inherited his father's skills and status, and continued to forge swords for warriors all over the world. The swords he forged were also better than his father's.

However, by this time, his sword skills had already been perfected, and he wanted to confirm his own worth, so whenever someone came to take the sword, he would challenge them and ask for their advice.

It was from this time that everyone truly realized that the child they had never cared about had become a swordsman far superior to themselves. Even the famous masters could not defeat him, and a huge shadow loomed over them.

Obviously, this genius was not satisfied with just challenging those who came to take his sword, as that was too passive, so he began to travel around the country, challenging each dojo...

And defeat all the famous swordsmen!
"We can't let that guy continue to mess around!"

When one famous swordsman after another was ruined by the challenge of this young man, the entire samurai world reached a consensus.

Therefore, a group of top swordsmen, led by the "Sword Saint" of the time, gathered together and set a trap for this genius. They specially invited him to compete and were ready to attack and kill him in a group.

The genius was naturally very excited about the "Sword Master's" invitation to compete. He immediately made preparations and set off.

At this time, Ishikawa Masaru, the head of the "Ishikawa Ryu", learned about this and realized that it was a trap. Because of his upright nature and incompatible with other masters, he immediately chose to go forward to stop it.

When Ishikawa Masa arrived, the war had already begun. He then discovered that these guys had even lost the dignity of a swordsman. Not only did they not go into battle themselves, they also specially invited a large number of ninjas and sorcerers to set up this killing spree.

He wanted to go forward to help, but he was a step too late. The genius had already fallen and was in a desperate situation.

however……

"why why!"

"I... just want a good opponent to swing a sword against."

"I don't want to die... I don't want to die!"

"I won't accept this! I won't accept this!"

When this genius was dying, his strong will of unwillingness miraculously turned into a force that enveloped his soul and injected his soul into the knife in his hand.

"You despicable fellow...I won't accept this! I...hate you so much!"

Just like that, his soul, resentment and obsession with swinging the sword were all integrated into the "Sword Spirit"!
After this……

Ishikawa Masa, who witnessed his death, rushed forward, cursed these guys for being shameless, and prayed that this genius could rest in peace.

However, when he picked up the genius's knife and wanted to bury it with the body, a force surged out of the knife and controlled his body.

He saw the genius standing in front of him again, laughing at him.

He became the first "demon".

Soon after, Ishikawa Masa, holding the magic sword, killed all the sword saint and his followers, and then turned into a monster that looked for people who wielded swords to kill, with only the sword in his eyes.

Not only that, people also discovered that once a person was killed by a demon, the demon would take away his secrets. The famous swordsmen at that time were all in danger, and they called the sword in the demon's hand "Hirumaru".

In order to resolve the crisis, everyone united and hired ninjas and sorcerers to hunt down the "demon" and "Hirumaru", but they were both severely injured and escaped...

Not only because the "demon" is powerful, but more importantly, all the people who have united together actually have their own ulterior motives and want to take "Hirumaru" for themselves.

Later on, some of the ninjas and sorcerers even began to worship the power of "Hirumaru", and those people were the predecessors of the later "Higashi Ninja".

but……

Among all the people who fought against Hirumaru, there was one person who was a little different, and that was Ishikawa Masaru's younger brother, Ishikawa Gonnosuke.

He was also the only person who was defeated by the "demon" but not killed, because at that time Ishikawa Masashi still had a trace of rationality in his heart, but he knew that this would only be temporary.

So, after returning home after being defeated, in order to save his brother and destroy "Hirumaru", Gonnosuke began to hone himself constantly and developed a sword skill specifically targeting the opponent's weapon - "Buddha Sword".

This sword technique can only damage the weapon without hurting the opponent. As long as it can be fully mastered, it will definitely free my brother from the constraints of "Hirumaru".

Unfortunately……

He never succeeded in his life, and "destroying Hirumaru head-on with the Buddha's sword" became the greatest mission of the descendants of the "Ishikawa School"...

Even now, the "Ishikawa Ryu" has become the "Ishishinkai", but it has never been forgotten.

……

……

"Ha ha……"

The moment this spirit appeared, it grinned and looked at Xia Ye as if he was looking at "prey", with a smile on his face.

"After so many years, someone finally picked up the Hiruban again."

He laughed wildly, as if he didn't care about Xia Ye's reaction at all.

"..."

However, in fact, Xia Ye really didn't react. With his current abilities, if he was really affected by such a sword spirit, he might as well give it up and start over.

Although one has to admit that this guy's soul power and consciousness are really strong, strong enough to influence most people who wield a knife, but for "Jueding"... it is really meaningless.

"Let me ask you, do you want to die or live?"

After a moment's silence, Xia Ye started to ask when he saw that the other party had finished his madness and was trying to take over his body.

"Uh...ah?" When he spoke, the other party was stunned for a moment. Dao Ling opened his mouth, thinking that he had heard something wrong.

"I said, do you want to die or live?"

boom! ! !
The next second, as Xia Ye's voice fell, the soul power as terrifying as the abyss of the ocean suddenly rushed up, causing the entire space to vibrate.

"Well???"

Feeling this intimidating aura and tremendous pressure, the sword spirit realized how powerful the person in front of him was, and his forward steps suddenly stopped.

"For the last time, do you want to die or live?"

Seeing this guy's reaction, Xia Ye couldn't help but smile, but at the same time his eyes turned cold, and there was indeed murderous intent in them.

For him, he had no intention of letting this guy go. At his level, a small magic sword was no longer worth his study.

The reason why he did this was to help Xu Xin. He could see that Xu Xin's talent was definitely more than that. If he could solve his problem himself, perhaps he could improve further.

"wait wait wait!"

"You have a problem with this question!"

Seeing this, the sword spirit waved his hands repeatedly and retreated continuously.

"I'm not here for life or death, I just want to duel with a master of swordsmanship!"

"Oh?"

Xia Ye raised his eyebrows when he heard this and paused for a moment.

"Then what kind of duel do you mean?"

“It’s not only about distinguishing between superior and inferior, but also about life and death?”

"If I could meet a swordsman who is better at swordsmanship than me, I would be willing to die at his hands. This is my lifelong vision!"

Speaking of this topic, Dao Ling immediately became serious, his face sank, and he suppressed his original fear.

"My existence, or rather the existence of 'Hirumaru', is to pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship. Unfortunately, I have not yet met anyone who can match my swordsmanship. This is a pity!"

"Ah……"

"This guy from such a small country is so arrogant!"

Hearing this, Xia Ye couldn't help but sneer.

But it can be seen from the serious look on the other side that he really thinks so. He who is familiar with the original plot can understand it. After all, this guy is indeed a rare swordsman genius in the history of his childhood.

"In that case, I understand."

After saying that, Xia Ye took the initiative to leave this world of swords. With a light wave of his hand holding the sword, all its influences were dissipated.

"Senior Xu, if you are ready, I will let this 'Sword Spirit' possess my body, and you can use it as you wish..."

As he said this, he also gave Xu Xin a look and transmitted a message through Qi to let him rest assured.

"Haha, no problem!"

Seeing this, Xu Xin immediately understood what he meant. He smiled and shook his palm, and a long and thin dagger appeared in his hand.

"However, people in my Tang Sect never use swords, so I'll use this instead!"

in this way……

Seeing that Xu Xin was ready, Xia Ye also relaxed and took the initiative to surrender his body.

Of course, even so, all the initiative is in his hands.

And this time...

"I didn't expect that someone would lend me his body completely, and he didn't covet my power at all..."

"I don't know who you are, nor do I know what your purpose is, but I am extremely grateful that I can still hold Hirimamaru after I die!"

Looking at Xu Xin opposite him, the "Sword Spirit" spoke slowly, then bent ninety degrees and saluted him, being quite polite.

"..."

Xu Xin did not react at all to his behavior. He hated this group of Japanese devils from the bottom of his heart and was too lazy to say a word.

"bring it on!"

The next second, as if he understood what the other party meant, the "Sword Spirit" suddenly stood up and raised the sword in his hand. He could feel the strength of the person opposite him, and this strength was familiar to him...

"Are they the guys from the Tang Sect?"

After a moment's recollection, he understood.

But it was obvious that for him now, it didn't matter who his opponent was. All he wanted was a fair fight. Seeing this, Xu Xin didn't hesitate and raised the dagger in his hand and pointed it at him.

only……

"hey-hey……"

The next second, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Xu Xin's face. He was a member of the Tang Sect, and the Tang Sect... had never had the concept of "uprightness".

Using any means necessary to achieve the goal is the way of an assassin!
wow——

In an instant, his mind moved, and the space in front of him instantly twisted, and an invisible projectile condensed, and the "Sword Spirit" suddenly glared...

"This is?!"

He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, but when he wanted to dodge, he found that his body could not move.

"No, this is not what I want..."

Ping!
The next moment, a crisp sound was heard, causing the figure of the "Sword Spirit" to stop abruptly, and "Dan Shi" hit the blade of "Hirumaru".

Click!

Immediately afterwards, the demon sword "Hirumaru" broke, which shocked the Japanese martial arts world for countless years. The inheritance of the magic weapon and the name of "Demon" were completely cut off at this moment.

Swish!
In despair and unwillingness, the "Sword Spirit" dissipated. He did not get what he wanted, and in front of Xu Xin and Xia Ye, he was not worthy at all.

Afterwards, Xia Ye regained control of his body and threw the broken knife in his hand to the ground. He killed innocent people at will just because of his obsession, even if he had a tragic past...

This dignity and honor...

Not worth mentioning!
