Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 174 Swordsman, Zanpakuto?

He...grabbed Hirumaru?!
Amidst the torment of the poison, Eita vaguely saw this scene unfolding in the distance. He was momentarily dazed, then revealed a sinister smile.

Fool! Utterly foolish! Hirumaru is an unparalleled sword, a demonic blade that only those who have undergone rigorous training dare to wield! To grasp Hirumaru so casually is certain death!
What kind of greatest sorcerer in the world can't even see the special characteristics of Hirumaru! What kind of god of Japanese swordsmanship can't even kill a guy like this!

Go to hell, all of you! Go to hell, all of you!
Hirumaru, devour his mind, let him kill everyone present, and pay with your lives!
Eita cried out in his heart, but the next moment, he saw Guan Yi, who was holding Hirumaru, calmly twirl the sword and lightly measure it in front of him.

"...?"

A crimson aura enveloped the demon sword Hirumaru, like a blazing fire that could burn the soul, sending chills down the spines of everyone who saw it.

The demon sword Hiruma was created many years ago by the son of a mountain swordsmith in Japan.

He was a true genius. He learned to wield a sword in order to better forge swords, and before he knew it, his swordsmanship had reached a high level. In his ignorance, he continued to challenge various martial arts schools in pursuit of higher realms, which angered several sword saints at the time, and he was besieged and killed.

Surrounded and killed not only by swordsmen, but also by ninjas and Onmyoji. He poured his resentment into the sword, turning it into a demonic blade! Every owner of this demonic blade is influenced by the swordsmith's unwilling will, and most even transform into a demonic being who only knows how to kill!

In the midst of carnage, the demonic sword absorbs the profound essence of all those who perish, allowing its host to grow stronger with each battle. However, this also leads the host increasingly astray into more and more bloody carnage!
But at this moment, the demon sword Hirumaru showed an unprecedented level of obedience in Guan Yi's hands.

The crimson aura showed no intention of eroding Guan Yi; instead, following his grip, it directed all its sharpness towards Xin Mianxu Yi opposite him.

"Impossible! Impossible! Hirumaru!" With a wail, Eita finally faced death.

"Such a thing can happen."

Xinmian Xuyi also murmured in surprise.

Even he never considered taking the demon sword Hirumaru, partly because he was devoted to the way of the sword and disdained to rely on external tools, and partly because he was wary of Hirumaru's 'demon' nature.

Fighting with bare hands is ultimately a disadvantage. Guan Yi hasn't had time to temper his physique in recent years, and his physical strength is vastly different from his counterpart in the Kengan world. The power of Shinmen Kōichi's sword is something his current body cannot withstand.

Thank you to my friend Eita for the weapon.

I'll gladly accept this demonic sword!

buzz-

Guan Yi held the knife with both hands, and the Samadhi True Fire, ignited by the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, flowed around the blade like chains, merging with the dark red baleful aura.

The fact that it was unaffected by the demonic sword was naturally thanks to the Samadhi True Fire! Resentment and unwillingness—all of this ultimately stemmed from the 'remnant soul'!
But the Samadhi Fire is specifically designed to burn the soul!

The demonic sword trembled in Guan Yi's hand, its crimson blade rapidly turning white, as if being washed away with the sins accumulated over the past hundreds of years.

As the blade returned to its grayish-white color, the lingering resentments of its original owner and all subsequent hosts were almost completely washed away, leaving only a wisp of the blade's inherent sharpness. With the infusion of Guan Yiqi, the blade was imbued with a new hue.

Its depths are like black iron, seemingly able to absorb light. Near the hilt, a multi-layered nested Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams formation is slowly engraved!

The divine weapon possessed a spirit, and was then refined by true fire.

After its original host was burned to ashes, it automatically recognized Guan Yi as its master and accepted the soul of Guan Yi, which was contained in the Samadhi Fire, and poured it in!
'I haven't gotten a Zanpakuto yet in the Bleach world, but I did manage to get one in the Under One Person world.'

Guan Yi muttered to himself, raised his sword, and slashed down!
"The character '巽' - Gale Slash!"

hum-

A whirlwind gathers, and the spell is activated.

Under Guan Yi's slash, a crescent-shaped wind blade sword aura suddenly tore through the earth, slashing towards Xin Mianxu with an indomitable spirit!

Xin Mianxu's expression changed slightly.

what is this?
Swordsmanship, combined with magic?
clang--

He parried with his twin swords, but the moment he touched the fierce wind's slash, his body jolted and he staggered back two steps, feeling a slight soreness and numbness in his arms.

More powerful than a single fist or a single spell! Is that so? Compressing magic into a sword and unleashing it in a manner similar to martial arts, bringing the power of accumulated moves!
Swordsman? Spellsword master?
His opponent, after acquiring the sword, had actually created an unprecedented style before his very eyes? Shinmen Kyōichi took a deep breath, lowering his center of gravity. Niten Ichi-ryū: Spinning Eight-Headed Serpent!
Inazuma Bone unleashed his full power, and Shinmen Kōichi charged forward to Guan Yi, his twin swords dancing in a circular motion, each strike leaving a clear trace of Qi in the air.

When the eighth strike was unleashed, all the Qi traces were activated, forming a blade wind barrier several meters in diameter around Guan Yi. The violent sword light tore everything apart, determined to shred Guan Yi.

Guan Yi raised his blade, and a burst of flames enveloped the newly born Hirumaru.

"Separation - Blazing Slash!"

Boom——

The sound of the explosion was deafening, and all the Qi traces that Xinmianxu had created were burned away by the flames. The two swords clashed, creating a dazzling sharpness.

The two then shot backwards in opposite directions. Shinmen Kyoichi brandished his sword and attacked Guan Yi again, while Guan Yi's blade lightly tapped in mid-air.

"Dui Character - Shadow Reflection Sword Formation".

hum-

Nine silver mirrors suddenly appeared around Guan Yi, forming a rapidly rotating mirror Qimen formation.

As Guan Yi struck, the blade light was no longer a single beam, but split into nine, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, all slashing towards Xin Mianxuyi.

Xin Mianxu repeatedly used the Empty Slash to destroy Guan Yi's sword formation nodes, but when he clashed with Guan Yi's sword, he felt a slight chill and pain in his shoulder.

His old haori was torn, and a small bloody gash was cut on his shoulder. Although it only injured the skin, it meant that he had not fully withstood Guan Yi's attack.

Were those nine strikes all real?

Bang! Clang! Boom!
The two continued to collide, producing various echoes that sent the rubble and dust from the ruined valley soaring several meters high.

This collision was more intense and longer than any of the previous ones. Crimson and golden-red light mixed with dust shot into the sky, as if a volcano had been ignited!
More and more people gathered around.

With Eita's death, the remaining ninja were gradually killed as well. Their dying struggles under Dan Shi did not have the effect of threatening the ninja leader, only causing minor injuries to a few of them.

The powerful members of the Tang Clan and the skilled fighters of the Lü Family watched from afar as Guan Yi and Xin Mianxuyi engaged in this epic duel, their hearts filled with turbulent emotions.

Guan Yi completely integrated the Wuhou Qimen magic into his swordsmanship. He no longer stood firmly on his feet in the center, but instead used his sword to easily unleash miniature Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams formations.

The four spells of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God were used in turn, and the power of the stars, the power of the four beasts, and the power of the earth veins were completely integrated into his sword light!

Shinmen Xuyi also brought the Niten Ichi-ryu swordsmanship to its extreme, but he still couldn't keep up with the infinite variations of Guanyi's techniques!

Sizzle! Sizzle!
The sound of clothes being torn occasionally broke through the collisions. Shinmen Kyōichi's haori was gradually cut into rags, and sword wounds continued to accumulate on his body.

If he hadn't been able to judge that he probably wouldn't have been able to last ten seconds in such an intense battle, no one could believe that the person Guan Yi was suppressing with his sword was the recognized number one swordsman in Japan in this era, a man known as the God of Swordsmanship!
"After this battle, the young clan leader Zhuge will probably no longer just be the leader of the younger generation. Looking at the world of supernatural beings in China, including all the sects and factions, he also has the ability to compete for the title of the strongest."

The old man sighed, "Should we stay here and watch, and grant his wish, Master?"

Tang Bingwen gently shook his head: "No need. He's just a Japanese devil who invaded our land. Clan Chief Zhuge doesn't need any achievement like 'single-handedly killing the Japanese swordsman' to bolster his record, nor can we give this devil a chance to fight back in his death throes!"

Boom——

When they collided and separated again, Shinmen Kyoichi almost dropped his katana from his left hand, while the blade of his right sword plunged into the ground. He knelt on one knee, panting heavily, a trickle of blood from his internal injuries flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He looked up at Guan Yi opposite him, whose face was also pale but whose condition was better than his. He laughed loudly and was about to leap up and fight Guan Yi again, but at this moment, he stopped.

Intense pain surged from within him, and cracks spread across his body. He didn't scream; he just paused for a moment, then turned to look at the Tang Clan members, and at Tang Bingwen, who was retreating after using the Pill Devouring Technique, a look of regret on his face.

"Poison? Our battle should indeed be fought at a more appropriate time and in a more appropriate place."

"Go complain about your 'adults' back home when you're in hell." Guan Yi's figure swept past him, her sword flashing.

*Thud*—A head was tossed high into the air!
Shinmen Kyōichi, the contemporary Japanese swordsmanship god and the strongest superhuman, is dead!
