Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

"You did it!"

The man in the suit spoke somewhat unclearly, his words were ambiguous and barely comprehensible.

It was obvious that he recognized Narumi Shingo, the boy who hadn't accepted his sermon the day before, and had even labeled him a "blasphemer."

Narumi Shingo's emotions remained largely unchanged; he even found it somewhat amusing.

Their god is the Lord of Arakawa, so he is the one who blasphemes against the Lord of Arakawa.

what is this?

I'm criticizing myself?

It's really funny.

The mocking smile on Narumi Shingo's face was the fuse that ignited the man in the suit's rage.

His throat was gurgling, making a sound like a fish blowing bubbles in the sea, or like the desperate cry of a drowning person about to have liquid poured into their trachea.

The man in the suit's body is undergoing bizarre, strange, and frightening changes.

The muscles on his face gradually twitched, as if countless tiny insects were writhing beneath his skin. His eye sockets became deeply sunken, and his pupils became large and protruding. His skin turned grayish-green, and his body surface gradually became smooth, seemingly shimmering when drenched in the heavy rain.

His mouth was stretched almost to his ears, his teeth were protruding, and there were several irregular slits on his neck and below his mouth, with no blood flowing out, somewhat like fish gills.

At the same time, his five fingers were almost joined together, and tough membranes grew between his fingers, like the webbed feet of an amphibian—physiologically he had transcended the human realm.

At first glance, this person looks exactly like a fish-man from a Western fantasy story, a fish-man wearing a suit.

Narumi Shingo took in this strange change, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"What is this? Is it a water spirit?"

"Impossible! How could there be a water demon in this Arakawa that I've never seen before? It doesn't have any demonic aura on it either. What on earth is this thing?!"

"Logically speaking, such a weak monster should have been sealed tightly within the dream world. How could it have escaped?"

"Could they be messengers of some god? No, that can't be. They wouldn't abandon their own god and worship my name instead!"

The "fishman" opposite him didn't give Narumi Shingo much time to think.

"Tear you apart! Tear you apart!"

"Your entrails are a gift offered to our Lord!"

The hoarse, grating sound, like the scraping of metal, sounded particularly eerie on this quiet, rainy day.

Narumi Shingo shook his head dismissively.

"Don't offer them to me—human organs are not on my menu."

Narumi Shingo's cold voice rang out, accompanied by the resounding sound of swords being drawn.

The fish-man seemed to thrive in this weather. His exposed skin was covered in scales that blended seamlessly with the heavy rain, making him as slippery as an eel. He grinned maliciously as he lunged at Narumi Shingo.

His sharp webbed feet gleamed with a cold light, and he moved so fast that he left afterimages. He really wanted to disembowel Narumi Shingo.

He was greeted by a flash of gilded light.

Narumi Shingo unsheathed the Sea Kingdom Sword in an instant, without any fancy "mirage" or "supernatural power".

It was merely a mortal body using simple "force" to drive this strike.

If this strike has any distinctive feature, it's its speed and precision.

The knife sliced ​​horizontally, cutting off half of the two webbed feet, then made intimate contact with the grayish-green skin covered in fish scales, penetrating the body without any resistance and easily cleaving the upper body of the "fishman" in two. Blue, eerie blood splattered all over the ground, gradually merging into the rain.

Those intimidating scales and sharp webbed feet were like paper, utterly useless.

What Uesugi Kiyoshi saw was this one slash.

He was an expert, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to make such a cut.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, based on what he had just witnessed, among all the swordsmen he had ever seen, only two could handle such a sudden attack at that speed, strike ruthlessly, and cut the enemy in two with a single stroke.

Dongwen's demon sword, and his junior sister A-Lin.

An ordinary swordsman would probably have been disemboweled by the monster before he could even react, his internal organs spilling out onto the ground.

Narumi Shingo would not.

The demons of Arakawa have been known for their violent nature and love of fighting since ancient times, leading to frequent bloody battles and the endless cycle of birth and death of demons.

The Lord of Arakawa is the strongest among them.

It is a sword technique honed through countless battles against water demons, born solely for the purpose of fighting, and is highly efficient and incredibly powerful.

Amid Uesugi Kiyoshi's exclamation, Narumi Shingo suppressed his barely perceptible killing intent, and their eyes met in mid-air.

Then, the two of them were stunned almost simultaneously.

Narumi Shingo was somewhat dazed because he seemed to recall something from the past. He frowned and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi, pondered for a long time, and then sighed softly, "There is a familiar feeling, but I should never have seen this face before."

The reason why Uesugi Kiyotsugu stayed was quite simple.

"Unknown spiritual fluctuations detected - matching in progress."

"Match complete".

"This is a deity, on the whitelist. Capture operation canceled."

"His name is—Lord of Arakawa!"

Chapter 168 A Flash

What's this new gadget?

Uesugi Kiyoshi was now used to the strange antics of this scroll depicting a hundred demons.

At first, he didn't find it strange. That's how it's always written in novels: the protagonist transmigrates and is reborn, gets a cheat code, and then reaches the pinnacle of life.

Now that he has successfully completed the process of time travel and rebirth, it wouldn't be surprising if he also has a cheat system to rely on.

However, as he gained a deeper understanding of and experience of the extraordinary, he discovered that the Scroll of One Hundred Demons was not as simple as he thought.

Shuten-dōji said that the so-called Hundred Demons Scroll is a symbol of the Demon King, a roster of demons in the Night Parade, and a collection of the "monsters'" beliefs.

Based on his few words, it can be inferred that Uesugi Kiyoshi's Hundred Demons Scroll once belonged to a great figure in Heian-kyo.

Then the problem is coming.

It's like a game called Onmyoji: The Card Game, with its formulaic and modern prompts, and that so-called whitelist.

It doesn't seem to fit the Heian period at all.

Could it be that this thing also evolves with the times?

It seems that figuring out the previous owner of the Hundred Demons Scroll needs to be put on the agenda urgently.

Hopefully, that book, The Tale of Genji from the Edo period, will bring him some surprises.

Narumi Shingo's face still held a hint of wariness and hostility, but when he saw Ueno Mitsuishi following behind Uesugi Kiyoshi, his hand holding the hilt of his sword gradually relaxed.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was not aggressive; his gaze was immediately drawn to the seascape in Narumi Shingo's hand.

"Good knife!"

Swordsmen all love their swords, and Uesugi Kiyoshi is no exception.

This sword, crafted by the Sea Kingdom, is made of an unknown material. Its surface shimmers with light, as if water ripples are flowing within it, with a faint golden glow mixed in, adding a touch of mystery. Washed by the heavy rain, it appears dreamlike and has an excellent appearance.

Of all the swords Uesugi Kiyoshi had ever seen, only the Onikiri in his hand could rival it.

He looked at the knife, then at the person.

A faint smile appeared on Uesugi Kiyoshi's face.

"I've lived in Arakawa for so long, and I never realized there were so many hidden talents here—how could a swordsman of your caliber be so unknown?"

"Ah, my apologies, I didn't introduce myself. I am Uesugi Kiyoshi, the Shinkage Nadeshiko. Nice to meet you."

He nodded, a gesture of greeting, his tone and expression conveying goodwill.

The people the Hundred Demons Scroll acknowledges are probably not his enemies. Kyoko, Maki, and Liu Longren all prove this point. Even Shuten-dōji, who was given a capture order, behaved himself after being defeated and did not resort to any unnecessary tricks.

Narumi Shingo responded with half a sentence in his usual indifferent tone.

"Shingo Narumi, please."

He couldn't finish the sentence, but Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes narrowed and he bowed instantly.

His figure became eerily blurry, as if washed away by the heavy rain, disappearing in an instant.

The next second, he brushed past Narumi Shingo.

This wasn't because his "speed" was too fast for the eyes to detect; it was more like he used some kind of magic to "teleport."

At the same time, he drew his sword from his waist.

The blade cleaved through the rain, creating a whistling sound.

The mirage danced and boiled on the blade, then transformed into a blazing red light.

Behind Uesugi Kiyoshi, the phantom of Inugami flashed by.

"Evil will be killed!"

The "fishman" that was originally cut in two by Narumi Shingo strangely melted in the water, turning into a viscous liquid, and then reassembled, gradually forming its original shape.

He silently parted his mouth, revealing fine, sharp teeth that jutted outwards, and his arms, like serpentine tendrils, aimed straight for Narumi Shingo's back.

He met a sword that was just as sharp.

The Evil Slayer is a sword specifically designed to slay ghosts and gods. When this dazzling red light touched the fishman's body, it was as if ice and snow were being engulfed in flames, melting away rapidly.

Uesugi Seiichi slashed out with his sword, then the blade turned back, making a blood-vibrating motion before he straightened up and sheathed his sword.

Most of the merman's body had already been evaporated by the evil-slaying and warding-off power attached to "Evil is Slayed".

Only some fragmented body parts remained, which still seemed to be alive and would occasionally twitch in the rain, giving one a chill.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's Hundred Demons Scroll has revitalized two of the paintings.

Yaodao-hime and Shuten-dōji.

This is the Hundred Tales of the Demon Blade Scroll, and it's the only card that's been lit up so far after the Demon Blade Princess's demon soul returned to its place.
