I directed the mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 173: Mahadeva
Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau
Although everyone had heard Miyamoto Musashi's speculation about Sasaki Kojiro's current identity, they seemed quite indifferent to the true face of the spider monster, their minds still deeply immersed in the previous duel.

"What just happened?"

When the two were talking before, everyone could still guess the situation, but when the two sides officially started fighting, the ensuing battle scene made them confused.

"If I saw it correctly, it seemed that Miyamoto Musashi launched the attack first?"

"How is that possible? You must have seen it wrong. It should be Sasaki Kojiro who tested it first!"

"No, you are wrong. Both sides attacked at the same time! That's why the road and buildings in the middle were destroyed when the attacks intersected!"

Minister Miki listened to the various opinions below, frowning, and turned to the priest beside him and asked: "Your Excellency, did you see the confrontation just now?"

The priest looked helpless, pointed at himself, and shook his head, indicating that he was powerless.

"I am just an ordinary priest. It is really difficult for me to analyze the battle between two extraordinary swordsmen. I just saw a flash of light and then smoke and dust. When I came to my senses, I saw Sasaki Kojiro covering the wound on his abdomen and healing it."

"It seems that it is because of the fast speed?"

As soon as Minister Miki finished speaking, the voice in the screen partition suddenly became clear. It was Ryuji Takasaka's voice.

"Just now, it was indeed Sasaki Kojiro who first launched a tentative attack!"

When Minister Miki heard this, his ears instantly pricked up and he listened attentively.

After all, compared to them, Takasaka Ryuji is not only an extraordinary existence, but also has a certain understanding of kendo, so they can undoubtedly see his inner self better!

"As Miyamoto Musashi said before, Sasaki Kojiro's current identity is actually a spider monster. He probably uses the identity of Onikiri as a cover, but the ability he actually uses is to transform the spider's silk threads into sword blades to launch slashing attacks!"

"That's why he can complete hundreds or even thousands of slashes in one move."

"That attack is to use countless silk threads to launch slashes at the same time, forming an overwhelming offensive!"

Finally, Takaoka Ryuji looked at the two of them, his heart filled with excitement that was difficult to calm down.

"You can actually come up with such an ingenious way to further enhance the power of your sword-drawing slash! Is this what the other party mentioned when we first met, to combine physical advantages with swordsmanship!"

Ryuji Takasaka was amazed and stared at Miyamoto Musashi with a complicated look in his eyes.

"What Miyamoto Musashi performed just now is most likely the spiritual attack that has appeared before!"

"And what's even more surprising is..."

He paused for a moment, as if searching for the right words to describe it.

“That perception area seems to cover the entire city!”

[How will Sasaki Kojiro deal with Miyamoto Musashi's tricky perception area? 】

Ryuji Takasaka couldn't help but put himself in Sasaki Kojiro's shoes.

[Facing the sensing area, long-range attacks are almost ineffective. Once you attack, the opponent will find your weakness, and then Miyamoto Musashi's slashing blow will be enough to tear everything apart! ]

[So, what if we choose close combat?] He thought to himself, but immediately rejected the idea.

[No, it's absolutely not possible! ]

Miyamoto Musashi's Spirit Slash requires almost no prelude. It can be launched instantly as long as a trace of the opponent is captured. This is undoubtedly the most difficult to use in close combat.

Recalling the terrifying experience he had before, which seemed to be able to separate his body and soul, Ryuji Takasaka shuddered involuntarily.

[If there is a sudden stalemate in a close combat, it is almost certain to be declared a failure! ]

After a brief period of substitution, Takaoka Ryuji discovered that no matter which side he substituted with his own strength, there would only be one result in the end!
That means a complete defeat!
[Is this the world's top swordsman? ! ! ]

……

At the moment when Miyamoto Musashi revealed Sasaki Kojiro's true identity, the latter chose to remain silent and closed his eyes again, apparently preparing for the next round of confrontation.

Seeing this, Miyamoto Musashi stopped asking questions and instead assumed a fighting stance again.

This brief break gave many staff members the opportunity to review the details of previous confrontations.

"I see! By the way, I remember that Miss Misaka Yana also made a move as if she was slashed!"

"I also remembered that I was paying attention to the situation in the sky above Kyoto at that time. Miss Misaka Yana did make the same action as Mr. Takasaka Ryuji and touched her neck!"

"Hiss! Could it be that even at such a long distance, Miyamoto Musashi could hit her with his Spirit Slash?"

At this moment, a staff member was sitting in his seat, staring at the data on the screen. Suddenly, he subconsciously covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he saw!

What is displayed on the screen is the 3D location map of the many supernatural beings observed in Kyoto!
"Miyamoto Musashi and Misaka Yana, the height difference between the two sides is about one thousand meters, and the distance on the ground is one thousand seven hundred meters!"

Among the people present, those with quick thinking had already quickly calculated the actual distance between the two!

"Oh my God! This means that Miyamoto Musashi's perception area is at least two kilometers wide!"

"So, as long as we are within 2,000 meters of him, we will be affected by his attack?"

If I were to fight Miyamoto Musashi, wouldn't that mean...

You know, the effective range of the Barrett sniper rifle is roughly around 1,800 meters, and that also requires considering the sniper rifle's air stagnation time, precise aiming angle, and ensuring that there are no obstructions!

However, compared to a sniper rifle, Miyamoto Musashi only needs to think and, without any prerequisites, he can launch an instant attack on enemies far within the range of the Barrett sniper rifle!

In fact, this may not even be his limit!
"Wait! There's new movement from Sasaki Kojiro!"

Except for the staff who were busy recording, analyzing data, everyone else's eyes were once again focused on the screen!
……

"The long-range attack is limited by speed and cannot break through his defense; the close-range attack will be cut by his spirit..."

Kojiro Sasaki pondered for a moment, then suddenly moved slightly and stepped back.

At the same time, his hand tightened around the hilt of the knife again.

"Mr. Shinmen Musashi! You know what? After reincarnating into this body, I seem to have discovered a new world!"

"Compared to a sword, the silk thread extending from the body is more satisfying."

"Compared to swords, silk threads that can be extended at will have a greater range."

"Compared to a sword, being able to control the split and thinned silk thread makes it a sharper cut!"

Hearing this, Miyamoto Musashi's eyes became more serious. He was no longer preparing to attack, but instead held his two swords in front of him in a defensive posture.

"Is it coming? Yan Fan!"

……

Hearing the name "Yan Fan", everyone held their breath involuntarily, fearing that their actions would interfere with the subsequent situation.

According to legend, Sasaki Kojiro traveled to various countries in order to improve his martial arts and eventually founded his own school.

The long sword he used had a longer blade and a wider range.

It was based on these weapon characteristics that he created the unique sword-drawing slash - Swallow Return!
Throughout history, whenever Kojiro used this sword skill, no one could escape unscathed, so "Yan Fan" has not been passed down.

Unfortunately, he was defeated in the final battle with Miyamoto Musashi, and this sword skill was not passed on to his disciples.

From then on, "Yan Fan" became a legendary sword skill.

However, at this moment they were fortunate enough to witness this long-lost sword skill with their own eyes!

In the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau, those seconded police officers who had a foundation in kendo were so nervous that they clenched their hands tightly, their fingers digging deeply into the flesh, and they didn't even dare to blink, for fear of missing any of the next moments.

[I can see the long-lost "Swallow Return" again with my own eyes? ! ! This is worth dying for! ]

Wait? What happened?
The police officers couldn't help but rub their eyes, unable to believe what had just happened.

On the screen, I saw that Sasaki Kojiro had already...

He removed his fingers from the hilt of the sword and turned his body to face the direction of the Great Master.

"Mr. Shinmen Musashi, one to one!"

The next moment, the scene changed suddenly!

Sizzle! ! ! !

Within a radius of 3 kilometers, all the buildings in Kyoto were instantly separated from each other.

They tilted at a subtle angle, and the buildings above began to slide slowly to the ground as if they were placed on a giant slide!

Countless buildings are built at the same time, in unison.

This scene is like using sharp silk thread to cut pieces of tofu in half.

Although the silk thread had passed through, the tofu had not yet reacted due to the fast speed and still maintained its original shape until the force gradually dissipated and it collapsed.

Gao Banlongji felt the building under his feet vibrate slightly and begin to move with friction. He knew that the building was about to slide down.

So he took this opportunity and leaped forward with all his might.

At the same time, countless gusts of wind were summoned from Tianyu Yuzhan and surrounded him, providing him with temporary support.

Recalling the blow just now, Takasaka Ryuji couldn't help but tremble.

Compared to Ryomen Sukuna's violent attack, he was more afraid of this almost impossible to dodge move.

[This is a completely different level of slashing! ]

[If Ryoumen Sukuna's attack is like a violent storm, a divine power that destroys everything! ]

[Then, Sasaki Kojiro's sword uses its speed to the extreme, and one strike will kill! ]

"If the masked man's spatial ability can be used to dodge Ryomen Sukuna's slash!"

"Then, facing this attack, he will definitely be defeated before he can dodge in space!!"

...Miyamoto Musashi savored the blow just now, and an unprecedented excitement bloomed on his face!
[So, your sword is made of silk thread? ]

[No wonder you can deliver such a powerful attack with distance, speed, and lethality! ]

[Is this the new return of the swallow? ]

pat!

At this moment, the sword in Miyamoto Musashi's hand suddenly made a sound, and a large number of cracks began to appear on the sword.

Kara!

With a crisp cracking sound, the two swords scattered like broken glass, turning into countless sharp fragments.

Immediately afterwards, Miyamoto Musashi couldn't help but stroke his left hand on his chest.

At this moment, he seemed to be aware of it belatedly and felt a sharp pain coming from the right chest.

A terrifying crack quietly appeared, then quickly expanded until it extended to the shoulder.

His right hand lost its support and slid downwards helplessly like a broken lotus root.

From a distance, the upper half of Miyamoto Musashi's body formed a shocking "V" shape.

thump!
Miyamoto Musashi felt the wind blowing past him, his body falling backwards continuously, and finally lying powerlessly on the ground.

However, he was still thinking about the return move just now.

Then a large number of memories emerged before my eyes like a kaleidoscope.

[First time holding the hilt]

【Decisive Battle of Yanliu Island】

【Falling Pen Five Rings Book】

[The modern age of drunkenness and extravagance]

【Buddha sculptures filling the house】

as well as……

【The Last Swallow Returns】

Suddenly his eyes widened, as if he felt that the whole world was merging with his body, and the energy in his body was like an extension of his body.

This is an unprecedented feeling.

The slash can be sharper!

Perception can go further!

The spirit can be stronger!

Sensing this, Miyamoto Musashi showed a hint of relief on his face.

Huanhuan closed her eyes.

[Did I break through before I died? I was able to see a higher realm! ]

【This experience...】

【You can definitely use it next time! 】

……

【Bathroom】

"Lord God, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Kira Yoshimitsu's eyes were shining, as if he had witnessed Yamagami Tetsuya's breakthrough for the first time!
[Martial Arts (Features: Energy Activation, World Transparency, Perception Field, Great Freedom)] lv3
Because Kira Yoshimitsu can receive all the subordinate forces with martial arts abilities.

Therefore, we must first break through it to level three!

Great freedom?

This was an unprecedented level of terror that Kira Yoshimitsu had experienced.

At the moment of contact, he seemed to be able to sense that the terrifying energy hidden in his body began to surge wildly and become abnormally active.

It is not an in-depth exploration of abilities, but a leap in realm.

Perhaps, this can be called...the unity of man and nature?

For Kira Yoshimitsu, who is able to display numerous abilities, the percentage increase in this realm is almost comparable to the huge benefits brought by reaching level four!
He turned his gaze to Miyamoto Musashi who was in his field of vision.

In Kira Yoshimitsu's special vision, he could penetrate the flesh and see directly into Miyamoto Musashi's soul at that moment.

At that moment, a hint of deep appreciation could not help but flashing in his eyes.

“What a beautiful soul!”

In Kira Yoshimitsu's vision, the soul in Miyamoto Musashi's body was not milky white like the soul of an ordinary mochi, but transparent like nothingness, with a hint of brilliant color.

"It's such a waste to hide such a high-quality soul in such a body!" Kira Yoshimitsu said regretfully.

"In that case, let me witness your last dance!"

At this time, Miyamoto Musashi felt that his body began to float continuously, and his soul seemed to be separated from his body.

Is this what death feels like?

It's a pity that he didn't experience it carefully and integrate it into his kendo during his lifetime!

Suddenly, Miyamoto Musashi seemed to sense something in front of him.

He couldn't help but open his eyes.

Then his spirit, which had begun to collapse, became active again!
"Oh my god, what is this?"

From his perspective, looking from bottom to top.

The huge body that reaches from the sky to the earth stretches out its four arms slowly in all directions.

The other party seemed to be concerned.

next moment!
A golden light surrounded Miyamoto Musashi.

[So warm! ]

you are?

Looking at the other person, my thoughts seemed to be illusory.

It’s like the brain is afraid and doesn’t want to remember it!

Quickly and slowly close your eyes.

In the dark vision, only a pair of eyes that seemed to be happy and angry remained!

Miyamoto Musashi had a special feeling, that is, he already knew the other party's identity.

[That Day in Isher]

Or call it... Mahadeva!
[A little concern from the gods and Buddhas? ]

[I am so lucky...]

------

Kojiro Sasaki couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at the great wizard who was caught in the massive flow of water in front of him. He was about to swing the sword in his hand to help free him.

Suddenly his pupils contracted and he looked behind him as if facing a great enemy!

In the ruins, Miyamoto Musashi's body seemed to be pulled upwards!

The remaining body slowly pieced together!

The hands without weapons were clenched in vain.

It seems that the two swords still exist!
Then a terrifying aura ignited!

"This is?"

Miyamoto Musashi's golden airflow continued to extend upward.

An illusory figure emerged, with a strong and powerful body and naked upper body.

The four arms hold two swords.

Then the lower pair made a horizontal slashing gesture, and the upper pair raised their swords high!
The phantom's face looks intimidating without even showing any anger!
Buzz!

An invisible pressure sinks down from the sky!

Boom! ! !

Kyoto sank slightly in an instant!

From top to bottom, the ground of Kyoto looked like shattered porcelain, with dense cracks everywhere!!!
Miyamoto Musashi slowly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Sasaki, it's a pity that this duel ended with only a glimpse of the return of the swallow."

“You might as well try to feel it.”

"The last two days and one class of my life!"
