I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 325
pat!

Dong Ye Yu caught the sword that flew into his hand, reached out and grasped the handle, clang!
A stream of silver flowed out from the scabbard, with a hazy and clear fairy light on it. The corpse demon frowned at the sight of it, and stretched out his hand to summon the vast death energy in the battlefield to help him, but found that he summoned nothing.

Dong Yeyu said seriously, "This is my territory, your magic is ineffective."

"What realm? It's ridiculous. It's just an illusion." The corpse demon sneered.

Dong Yeyu also laughed: "Then you can try to break this illusion."

The Dream Sword embodies all of his knowledge of Tao, the universe, and the human world gained through his lifelong practice. It is the most powerful technique he has mastered so far. Apart from the huge consumption of mana, it has no other drawbacks.

In order to break it, one must have a being with higher cultivation than oneself. The cultivation here does not refer to magic power, but to the cultivation and understanding of the Tao. For example, some monsters may have become the monster king level, but their understanding of the Tao is not as good as oneself.

Of course, it is also possible to break the law with force. As long as you have a magnetic field with a force of one million horsepower, can blow up a mountain with one punch, and have a will comparable to that of the Primarch Guilliman, then the Dream Sword is indeed not enough.

After Dong Ye Yu finished speaking, his expression became serious, he held the knife in both hands and assumed the stance of Tian Lan Ittoryu.

The corpse demon looked at his posture and found it ridiculous: "Crazy fox, have you forgotten that I was a sword saint in my lifetime and I was also your teacher in swordsmanship?"

As he said this, Bizen Osafune Kunimori, who had become ordinary and dull, made a sword flower and also assumed the stance of Sky Blue Ittoryu.

"Do you really think you can beat me in swordsmanship? Naive! Even without the help of those dead evil spirits, I can still chop off your head!"

He said in a cold voice, tearing off the tattered upper body armor, revealing skin that looked no different from that of an ordinary person, even with a faint golden hue. His body was full and full of strength, and he didn't look like a person in his sixties or seventies who had been dead for hundreds of years.

Then, Dong Yeyu suddenly found that he disappeared from his sight, "Flash step?"

As soon as this thought came to Dong Ye Yu's mind, he felt a sharp breath coming from the left. He turned his head and saw that the corpse demon had appeared in the blind spot on the left side of his vision and was swinging a knife towards him.

He still didn't seem to understand the meaning of the dream sword.

Dong Ye Yu thought about it in his mind, but didn't care about it and stabbed out with the sword in his hand.

Wrong jade cutting.

The speed is extremely fast, like a sharp white line that cuts off everything.

laugh!
The corpse demon's knife cut Zhong Dongye Yu first, but there was no clean feeling of cutting the flesh in half, but rather an extremely empty feeling, as if it was cutting the air.

fake?

The corpse demon reacted the moment he realized that this was a fake body. After all, he had inherited the body of the Sword Saint. Even without the blessing of the Sword of No Thought, he was not inferior under the influence of muscle memory.

Seeing that his opponent was about to stab him from behind and he had lost the initiative, he simply ducked to dodge, while at the same time quickly pulling back the sword with his hand to try to block.

Clang!
The swords collided, sparks flew, and then, in the astonished gaze of the corpse demon, Bizen Nagasune no Kami, who had been initially soaked in his death energy, was like an ordinary object and was cut into two pieces by Higashino Yu's sword cleanly and neatly.

Hey!
The broken sword fell to the wooden floor with a dull sound.

The corpse demon holding the half-broken knife immediately wanted to distance himself from it, but just as he took a step back, Dong Ye Yu took advantage of the situation and chased after him relentlessly. His steps were extremely fast, and the long knife in his hand was even faster.

Floating boat crossing.

A beam of spiritual light chased after the fleeing figure of the corpse demon and slashed over. The sword force tore through the air with a whistling sound as it cut from the lower right to the upper left. It was extremely sharp and had the power to cut off the body in one blow.

The corpse demon immediately turned around and blocked with the only remaining half of the sword.

Clang!
The Bizen Nagasafune no Kami, which was already only half left, was cut off again. The remaining blade looked shorter than Wakizashi. The corpse demon looked at the knife in his hand, became furious with a ferocious look, and simply threw the knife at Higashino Yu.

Higashino Yu easily knocked away the katana that was thrown at him, and continued to slash out with Fufuto's second sword while catching the already broken Bizen Osafune Kunimori.

Although the corpse demons had lost their weapons, their fighting spirit was not diminished much. Some schools on the island country were good at taking the opponent's weapons without a sword, that is, taking away the opponent's weapons with bare hands in order to win.

The Sky Blue Ittoryu naturally also incorporates such techniques, but they are relatively unconventional. Although they can be practiced, their priority is still lower than that of swordsmanship.

But for the teacher himself, the swordless technique has indeed been practiced to a very high level and he has his own understanding of it.

The corpse demon inherited most of the teacher's legacy and was confident in taking the sword without a sword. At this time, he opened his hands slightly, staring at the movements of Dong Ye Yu's body, ready to seize the opportunity to snatch the sword from his hand.

This knife is a divine weapon, if you can get it, you will definitely win. The corpse demon thought so, facing the blade fearlessly, and easily seized the flaw when Dong Yeyu swung the knife.

good chance!
All the muscles in his body worked in a coordinated manner, and his speed changed from extremely slow to extremely fast. Between life and death, even the corpse demon tried his best.

He acted decisively, ducking to rush into Dong Yeyu's arms to grab the knife, but the moment he made contact, it was not a solid collision that could knock him off balance. It felt like he hit the air first, and the corpse demon subconsciously adjusted his posture. Then he felt a furry touch.
The corpse demon was stunned, and instantly understood that this was an illusion, and he had not really turned into a human! He was still a fox!

Just as he figured it out, the crossed sword lights came almost at the same time, slashing towards his chest in no particular order. The corpse demon did not dodge, but instead wanted to continue to grab the sword. He was not afraid. Although there was something strange about the knife of the kid in front of him, with his body comparable to fine steel, it would be no problem to block one or two swords.

As long as he gets the knife, he will be defeated. It is acceptable to exchange injury for victory.

puff!puff!
When the sound of a knife cutting flesh came, the corpse demon was stunned, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrong. He looked down, only to find that his copper head and iron arms that were invulnerable to swords and guns were easily cut as if they were made of paper.

Chi Chi!

A terrifyingly dense death energy wafted out from the wound, and it seemed that it wanted to corrode the magic power left by the demon slayer. The demon slayer's magic power could restrain the death energy, but the death energy was too powerful, and the two were thus caught in a tug of war. The horrifying oblique cross wound healed for a while and then split open again.

not good!

A fear of death arose in the corpse demon's heart. Everything he relied on seemed to become like a fortress built of sand on the seashore. It all collapsed when the waves came. He hurriedly tried to get away and fled in panic.

He is no longer a normal teacher, but just a new living being born from the normal teacher's body. As long as it is a living being, it will be afraid of death.

"Those who fear death will die. When faced with a desperate situation, the only way is to live towards death. Although you have inherited your master's skills, you can't even figure this out. I am really disappointed."

Dong Yeyu shook his head and chased after the corpse demon with footsteps as fast as the wind. The sound of their footsteps continued to echo in the huge dojo until they got closer and closer.

"Yan Hui."

Dong Yeyu whispered the name of the move without any concealment, as if the corpse demon didn't care whether his move would be countered. Although he said Swallow Return, the actual chop was Rice Slash - a very concise sword technique that he learned from farmers cutting rice in the normal school. There are no unnecessary movements, and everything is for killing, which is very suitable for battlefields or emergencies.

The corpse demon was also an honest man. When he heard the word Yan Fan, he dodged according to Yan Fan's moves and just bumped into the blade.

puff puff!

"Ah!!! You're despicable!"

The corpse demon was unable to dodge and his two arms were cut off by its roots. His body suddenly lost balance and fell to the ground.

He lay motionless on the ground as if he was seriously injured and dying, with no strength to resist. However, from the angle that Dong Yeyu could not see, his scarlet eyes became more and more crazy, and the deathly aura that permeated the wound began to slowly shrink and tremble.

He planned to feign defeat and lure Dong Yeyu over to detonate the death energy contained in his body. Even if he couldn't kill the white fox in front of him, he would kill all those mortals to bury them with him!
Judging from the battle Yu Shi had just had with him, his magic power would not be able to last for too long under such a strong aura of death and resentment.

This is the corpse demon's own rebirth towards death.

But at this moment, the withered soul in the corpse demon's heart, which had been suppressed and prepared to be slowly digested, suddenly resisted fiercely, using its only remaining strength to shine like a comet, accompanied by an old, firm and steady voice.

"Sky Blue Ittoryu, Arima Tadayasu, see you."

"What morality is there to talk about when dealing with an evil heretic like you?"

Dong Ye Yu muttered, holding the sword, his mind still alert, and was about to step forward to kill him - the corpse demon is something that cannot be completely killed without beheading, even if there is a demon slayer.

After beheading, the corpse left behind by the corpse demon must be burned to ashes with real fire. Otherwise, once the strong death energy and resentment condensed on its body dissipate, it will become a dead place again, and sooner or later a new corpse demon will be born here.

Just as he raised the knife, he found that the aura of the corpse demon became familiar.

Dong Yeyu did not put down the knife, ready to chop at any time, and asked softly: "Is it a normal student?"

The corpse demon turned over, and the face finally became familiar. A gratified smile appeared on the scarlet, old face: "Excellent swordsmanship, you can call yourself a sword saint. Ayu, you have to think of a wonderful title. I think the name of White Fox Sword Saint is very majestic."

Dong Yeyu was stunned at first, then speechless: "You are still talking about this at this time"

This name is really a bit difficult to understand, just like the Sky Blue Sword Saint of the Normal School. Dong Yeyu skipped it and changed the subject, asking, "How is the corpse demon?"

"I managed to suppress it, but it didn't last long."

Arima Tadayasu's arms and body were cut off, but he stood up without any effort and did a somersault.

Dong Ye Yu felt it carefully and realized that it was indeed the teacher's will that was dominant at this time, so he temporarily put down the knife.

The dojo also shattered and dissipated, and the two came to the bank of a river with a wide but shallow riverbed. There was a flat boulder covered with moss. The bright golden sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves. It must be very comfortable to lie on it and rest.

There are many wild hydrangeas growing around, and clusters of purple flowers like hydrangeas sway in the moonlight.

Opposite is an island village from the Warring States Period, with thatched houses, water wheels and working farmers. Women sing ancient songs while planting rice, while some men respond by beating gongs and drums.

These are all based on Higashino Yu's impression of the island country's Warring States period, supplemented by Arima Tadayasu's own memories, so there are no flaws to be found.

Arima Tadayasu looked around with a nostalgic look and smiled: "Fukugami River, it's a good place to bury the bones. After I leave, Ayu, you can burn the body and scatter the ashes in the Fukugami River."

"I understand." Dong Ye Yu stood aside with a sword in his hand and nodded.

"Time is running out, let's get started."

"I have committed countless sins, and I am truly ashamed. I should cut open my stomach to apologize to all living beings and the heavens and the earth."

Arima Tadayoshi knelt by the river and spoke softly, then turned his head to look at Higashino Yu with a mischievous smile and twisted his shoulders.

"But since his hand is gone, he probably can't perform a laparotomy. You, Ayu, will have to just decapitate him."

"Are you ready to stop wanting?"

"I have seen my old friend and resolved my worries. I have no more regrets. I just feel very tired and want to rest. Before I leave, it would be great if you, my disciple, could serve as my assistant."

Dong Ye Yu was silent for a few seconds, then he tightly grasped the Chengming Ichimonji Changguang and slowly raised it. The long sword with a hazy fairy light shone coldly under the sun.

Arima Tadayasu had no idea that death was approaching. His gentle eyes found a familiar figure among the girls planting rice. She was singing a ballad and accidentally stood up and met the old man's eyes.

In an instant, she seemed to understand all the emotions the old man wanted to express, so she smiled and stretched out her muddy hands.

"Let's go together, Zhong."

In a trance, the gentle and clear voice of the girl from thousands of years ago seemed to ring in his ears. The old man subconsciously wanted to walk over.
puff!
His sight swirled around, and finally settled in front of a cluster of hydrangeas.
All right, all right. Arima Tadayoshi breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes peacefully.

The Sky Blue Sword Master, rest here.

The illusion of the Fukugami River dissipated like catkins, and Higashino Yu reappeared outside the north gate of Fukuchiyama Castle. At this time, the flood had receded, the ground was in a mess and full of mud, and the city was silent and dead.

The swordsman in white also disappeared into thin air, replaced by a white fox holding a katana in its mouth.

Dong Ye Yu looked at the corpse in front of him, which had lost all its sound and was left with only a horrible aura of death and resentment. He remained silent, and kept reciting the Sutra of Purity and Tranquility in his heart.

Even though he was used to the separation and death of ordinary people, beheading his teacher with his own hands, even though this was exactly what he wanted, was still a huge shock to his soul.

Higashino Yu waited for a while at the spot and did not burn the body immediately. He thought about waiting for Arima Norimune to come over. As the descendant of the normal school and the only relative present, he should explain everything to him before taking any action.

Now that the corpse demon has been eliminated, the remaining death energy will not cause much trouble as long as it is purified properly.

Soon,
Yu Shi came back with many mortals. He had a smile on his face. He didn't seem sad about the death of his old friend, but very happy instead.
