Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 522 This is how the three villains do things (Seeking monthly votes!)

Five days later, the fruit of the Great Sun Sect shattered on the ground.

In the western lands of Japan, lies the Hidden Sword School.

"Plop!"

A homing pigeon spread its wings and circled in flight. When it reached this spot, it suddenly turned sharply and plummeted downwards.

Until a hand caught it.

Those hands were as white as jade, without any calluses from martial arts practitioners, so perfect they were almost otherworldly.

At this moment, the moonlight was hidden deep within, and the night was as dark as ink.

The dense forest of the Hidden Sword School's dojo was brightly lit, and the faint sounds of string and wind instruments drifted through the air.

Inside the room, the lights were dim and the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

Moonlight streamed through the carved window, revealing Hayato Ten'in sitting on the tatami mat. He was soothing the carrier pigeons, then took down the letter. After reading the contents, he suddenly looked up.

It was a face wearing a mask.

Even if you can't see his expression, you can still feel his emotional changes.

“Strange!” Hayato Ten'in said coldly. “The letter says that the trip to Buyeo went smoothly and that they have returned with the ‘Azure Dragon Relic’.”

He lowered his head, the light and shadow on his mask dappling his face, his tone growing colder: "Why, then, do I feel so uneasy?"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew into the room, gathering energy into a shadow that transformed into a sharp sword aura. The floorboards cracked, leaving a sword mark that stretched straight towards the room.

"Hmph, what a sight!"

Hayato Ten'in unleashed a powerful palm strike, capable of shattering even a small mountain with a single blow.

As soon as the palm strike was unleashed, the guards outside the door cried out in alarm, their figures flying backward and crashing to the ground, spitting out blood.

Inside the room, Hayato Ten'in had already withdrawn his palm, his expression as calm as a mountain: "Sword intent reaches the heavens and spreads far and wide!" He looked up at the sky, "I can feel this soaring sword intent approaching me step by step."

"You felt it too, didn't you, old friend!"

As they were speaking, a clanging sound suddenly came from their side.

"Damn!"

A magnificent Japanese sword was trembling incessantly, seemingly excited by the arrival of its opponent.

“There are countless divine weapons in the world.” He placed the Japanese sword on his lap and gently stroked the blade. “Whether it is the Jingji of the East or the Hero Sword, the Peerless Sword, and the Snow Drinking Saber of the Central Plains martial arts world, they are all astonishing.”

"However, the only weapon that can excite you so much," Hayato Ten'in changed the subject, "is that 'divine sword'—the Dragon Slayer!"

With a clang, the sword was drawn from its sheath.

The knife was like a pool of autumn water, reflecting the frost that filled the room.

"Battle Spirit, Battle Spirit!" Hayato Ten'in sighed, stroking his sword. "Three hundred years ago, you followed Yagyu Sword Saint and defeated the Central Plains Sword Saint."

"Now that an even more powerful sword god has arrived, it's time for you to make your fortune!"

Just then, a samurai lifted the curtain and entered, saying, "Sect Master, Elder Da Ri and Elder Yue Mei have arrived with Musashi Mori."

"Oh, they're back?" Hayato Ten'in sheathed his sword and asked casually.

"Yes, I'll wait outside."

Were they injured?

The samurai thought for a moment and said, "The three of them are all breathing heavily and their faces are pale. Musashi Mori's hair has been burned off, so he's bald."

Hayato Ten'in smiled and said, "Let them in."

The samurai bowed and turned to leave.

A moment later, footsteps were heard, and the beaded curtain was lifted high as Dainichi Sōka and the other two filed in.

Hayato Ten'in stared intently and saw that everyone's breathing was unstable and their faces were pale.

Looking at Musashi Mori again, I almost couldn't hold back my laughter. He had a shiny bald head and one eye staring straight at me.

Hayato Ten'in looked at Daihi Munaka and smiled, "Just got back?"

Dainichi Sōka stood with his hands behind his back, without replying.

Instead, Moon Spirit Duck Wing chimed in, "Just arrived, just arrived!"

Hayato Ten'in looked at her: "You're injured, what are you doing here so late?"

Moon Spirit Fu Xi countered, "What are you doing in the study so late, sir?"

Hayato Ten'in smiled and said, "Just a bit unsettled."

"Oh? Is something on your mind, sir?"

Hayato Ten'in said, "An enemy is coming from the west."

"West?" Moon Fairy Fu asked. "Isn't that the Divine Land?"

“That’s right!” Hayato Ten'in nodded. “I sensed it. The one who came was none other than the Sword God of the Central Plains!” He looked at Tsukime Fuxi. “You fought against the Three Fiends in Fuyu Kingdom?”

"They fought." Yue Mei Fu Xi shook her head and sighed, "If we hadn't run fast, we probably would all be stuck there!"

"So powerful?" Hayato Ten'in frowned and turned to look.

Dainichi Soka remained standing with his hands behind his back, and Musashi Mori continued to stare blankly at him.

Hayato Ten'in asked in surprise, "Elder Daihi, why haven't you said anything?"

Da Ri Zong Guo raised his eyes and said calmly, "Elder Yue Mei can handle it."

"Is that so?" Hayato Ten'in sneered. "You usually don't allow anyone to show off in front of you!"

Da Ri Zongguo fell silent for a long while before spreading his hands and saying with a wry smile, "Little beggar, I told you long ago that I am not good at this. It is easy to change one's form but difficult to change one's mind, but you still didn't believe me."

Musashi Mori, scratching his bald head, chimed in with a憨声 (honest and simple) voice: "Me too!"

Snapped!
Moon Spirit Fu Xi slapped her forehead, her voice becoming sweet and cute: "You two, one's clueless, the other's grumpy. What a waste of the cripple's 'Dual-Tone Technique' ability to change appearance!"

"The ability of the Dual-Sound Technique to disguise oneself is indeed undetectable," Da Ri Zong Guo said with a clear voice, hands on his hips, "but I don't lie, which is inherently contrary to infiltration. Such 'incongruity' naturally leads to failure!"

"Hmph! You're right no matter what I say!" Yue Meifu snorted coldly, her delicate voice contrasting sharply with her ugly, tree-bark-like face, sending chills down one's spine.

Hayato Ten'in, gripping his War Soul Blade, slowly rose and frowned, asking, "Who exactly are you?"

Dainichi Sōka removed his straw hat, revealing a handsome and refined face: "Since you asked so sincerely..."

Moon Spirit Fuxi leaped higher, revealing a beautiful smile: "I will mercifully tell you."

Musashi removed his blindfold, revealing thick eyebrows and large eyes: "We are swordsmen from the northern frontier."

Ren Shaoyang said, "We are heroes who roam different worlds!"

Hongxiu proudly declared, "We will follow the path of sincerity and compassion."

Ding An chuckled and said, "A cute and charming protagonist."

Ren Shaoyang.

"Ren Hongxiu".

Ding'an raised his hand and said, "Ding'an!"

"The Three Fiends Who Travel Through the Chaotic World of Time and Space."

"A seeker in pursuit of the greatest secret of the chivalrous hero!"

"Eeeeee!" A rolling cry came from afar.

Hayato Ten'in coldly asked, "Are you the Three Fiends?"

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "It's the real deal."

"Now that you're here," Hayato Ten'in said with his eyes closed, "Dainichi Sōka and the others should be dead."

“Absolutely!” Hongxiu blurted out, “They died a horrible death.”

"So," Hayato Ten'in opened his eyes, "you're here to eliminate the threat completely?"

“Of course.” Ren Shaoyang stepped forward and said calmly, “If Kou can go there, so can I.”

"What a vengeful bunch!" Hayato Ten'in frowned. "You don't seem like righteous people at all. You're more like villains than I am!"

"We're the main characters!"

Ding An chuckled and said, "Besides, that's how the Three Fiends do things. You'll get used to it."

Hayato Ten'in sneered, "You think you can control me by killing Dai Ri Zong Guo and the others?"

Hongxiu smiled and said, "Is that not allowed?"

Hayato Ten'in coldly replied, "Naive."

As soon as the word "Heaven" was uttered, the person disappeared. As the word "True" was uttered, a huge wave of fire suddenly appeared, letting out a sharp whistle, and shot towards Hongxiu like a flying shuttle.

"I'll go!" Ding'an calmly stepped in front of Hongxiu, hands on his hips, facing the firelight.

boom!
With a loud bang, flames erupted and smoke billowed out, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

The smoke of battle had not yet dissipated when Ding'an's loud laughter rang out: "Old man, let's go again!"

"Insanity!"

With a clang, Hayato Ten'in drew his katana, the blade blazing with fire. He slashed forward, and whoosh, a fire dragon swam away, shaking its head and tail.

"Playing with fire with me?" Ding'an shouted, "You're showing off your skills before an expert!" He slapped his hand.

"Buzz!"

An air shield appeared in the air, blocking the fire dragon's attack. The flames poured down like a long river, scattering in all directions.

"Take this!"

Just then, Hongxiu leaped out from behind Ding'an, her demonic blade trembling as hundreds of sword energies materialized like shadows and slashed fiercely towards him.

Upon seeing this, Hayato Ten'in strode forward without dodging or avoiding, and swung his sword backhand!

Whoosh! A massive burst of flames crashed straight into the demonic blade.

Poof~!

The expected golden sound did not come out, and the little beggar disappeared without a trace, like a bubble.

"Ah!" Hayato Ten'in frowned. "Transformation of Qi into Form?" His expression changed, and he suddenly swung his sword again.

In an instant, the room turned red!
when!
The War Soul and the Red Candle Flower collided.

Two streams of blood-red sword energy surged forth, like an unparalleled, domineering demon.

With a loud bang, the entire room exploded, sending wood chips and bricks flying everywhere, killing and injuring many disciples who rushed to the scene.

Hongxiu and Ding'an both exclaimed "Eh!" at the same time.

Ding An drew his sword and said in a deep voice, "My 'Residual Flame Sword Technique'!"

With her red sleeves adorned with crossed swords, she sneered, "This heroine's 'Sleeve Divine Sword'!"

Their expressions darkened, their nostrils flared, and they demanded in unison, "You little devil, where did you learn that from?"

"Ha~!"

Hayato Ten'in suddenly raised his sword to the sky and shouted, "Look at this sword! What is it?!"

Suddenly, a strange change occurred in the sky, with dark clouds churning and swirling.

Hooray!
A bright white thunderbolt struck from the sky.

Hayato Ten'in pointed his sword, and with a hiss, lightning struck the blade of the War Soul, flickering and shimmering. The flowing lightning fell around him, snakes of electricity crackling, plunging the earth into darkness.

"Heavenly Sword Collapses Mountain?!"

The two exclaimed in unison again, turning to look at the white-robed man.

Ren Shaoyang's eyes finally showed a ripple, and he clapped his hands and sighed softly, "What a 'Myriad Paths of the Underworld'! You've actually turned our trump card into yours!"
