Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

Chapter 266 The Last Diary

There's nothing else interesting to see.

It was like an absurd silent play. The demons, having lost their leader, were scattered one after another. Some fought to the death and were suppressed and sealed, while others, seeing that the situation was hopeless, covered the retreat of their subordinate demons.

In short, they were utterly routed.

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt very frustrated.

How to describe it? It's like you're playing an RPG online game and you're fighting to the death with a rival guild, and suddenly the GM intervenes and deletes your guild leader's account—who would accept that?

That's just how reality is.

While it might be a bit shameless to praise himself like this, Uesugi Kiyoshi, having just observed the battle from a swordsman's perspective, believes that the Lord of a Hundred Demons' chances of winning are actually ridiculously high.

The reason is simple: his enemies were all in name only, going through the motions without putting in any real effort.

The demonic Tamamo-no-Mae was locked in a fierce battle with a little boy who looked eight parts like Liu Longren; it was simply outrageous.

The Fujiwara clan's Onmyoji were primarily defensive; even the Genji's Kibei could only tremble before the oni of Mount Oe.

The other group of Onmyoji didn't even make a move; they just came to watch and went through the motions.

The Aragami of Takamagahara never showed its face, except for the glow of its divine power.

Although Izanami is a true goddess in Japanese mythology, controlling the unclean waters of the underworld, she was clearly at a disadvantage in her battle against Minamoto no Kiyomasa, the lord of all demons.

That sword was like a venomous snake, slithering around Izanami's vital points. Its blade shimmered with light, impervious to the waters of the underworld and unshattered by divine power. It was indestructible, and its power was unpredictable and elusive.

This truly broadened Uesugi Kiyoshi's horizons.

He can also do this in a duel with a swordsman: anticipate the opponent's moves, strike first after being attacked, and use his sword to block the enemy's movement path, making them feel restricted at every turn.

However, in battles involving supernatural powers, he mostly resorted to using force to suppress others.

The Hundred Demons Scroll and the vast mirage are his winning weapons.

On the contrary, he rarely used swordsmanship skills.

Because you can predict a swordsman's moves, but it's very difficult to predict the changes in the abilities of a superhuman or a ghost.

But the Lord of a Hundred Demons can.

He accurately predicted the movements of the Yellow Springs water.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was certain that Izanami would be defeated within half an hour at most.

Then the Lord of a Hundred Demons abruptly stopped moving, as if a pause button had been pressed.

He was then severely injured in a single blow and died.

He couldn't accept this result.

Because that is him.

While he was thinking, the two mirrors in front of and behind him dimmed simultaneously and returned to nothingness.

A faint voice reached his mind.

"That's it, my strength is exhausted."

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but that's not something I should worry about."

"There are some things I haven't mentioned, but they're all written in that Edo period Tale of Genji. It's a backup of my memories."

"What I can show you has been unsealed inside. What hasn't been unsealed is what you can't know. Those things will automatically appear in that diary when you understand who our enemy is."

"."

"I'm finally free. Uesugi Kiyoshi, it's up to you now."

Take care.

Uesugi Kiyoshi snapped out of his daze and realized that he had somehow ended up holding the book "The Tale of Genji of Edo" in his hand.

I subconsciously opened the cover, and the fluorescent Chinese characters shimmered on the paper.

"I designed the Hyakki Yakou in the Hyakki Scroll. You haven't forgotten our old profession back in China, have you? I'm quite good at writing logic programs."

"To prevent you from having no memories of your past life and stepping into the extraordinary realm without a guide, I set up the Hundred Ghosts Scroll as a guide, making it as easy for you to become stronger as playing a game. Killing monsters and leveling up, it's not hard to understand, right?"

"Um"

"Using the power of the hundred ghosts under our command is not our specialty. Those ghost kings can use the power of their subordinates to some extent, depending on the contract. In short, those powers will not do you any harm."

"The ability to grow stronger by absorbing mirage energy is one I acquired from our enemies. When Minamoto Kiyomasa used it before, there were side effects, but I used some methods to minimize the side effects when Uesugi Kiyoshi used it."

"How should I put it? This ability is like the ability to slay demons and gods. It is very conspicuous. The demons and gods of the Heian period regarded me as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and this is more or less the reason."

"Think about it, if there is someone who can kill them at will and absorb their life's accumulation and turn it into their own power, anyone would probably be filled with fear and have no peace of mind."

"So when this news was deliberately spread, I was already an enemy of the whole world."

"On the day of the decisive battle in Heian-kyo, I arrived quickly, and they didn't have time to react. Otherwise, I probably would have faced more than just those enemies."

"Forget it. There's no point in saying all this."

"I sealed away your memories and your sword heart together. Awakening your sword heart is useless to you. I did something similar a thousand years ago."

"The so-called Mirror of Enlightenment and Seed of Sword Heart are nothing more than tools to stimulate enlightenment, infinitely amplifying inner desires, thereby causing a qualitative change in spiritual power. It is not a profound method, but it is efficient and simple, so many people use it."

"When you return to the mortal world, you will inherit my sword heart, sword intent, and qi. Of course, there will be some loss, but it will definitely satisfy you. With the physical strength enhanced by the Hundred Ghosts Scroll and the systematic swordsmanship training you received, you should be able to bear this power."

"Let me think, is there anything I've forgotten? I've never written anything like a will before, I have no experience, I'll just write whatever comes to mind, just bear with it."

"Oh, by the way, I left something for you in Kyoto. Shiba is guarding it for me there, so it shouldn't get lost. If you go to get it, keep an eye on any information related to [Inugami], and you should be able to find it."

"Also, the ability to slay ghosts and gods, and the ability to absorb mirage energy, did have side effects before, but they should be fine now. You can use them with peace of mind, but don't rely on them too much. The most important thing is your own strength."

"."

"If there's anything else, it's making more friends."

“Initially, I had no means to resist a large number of ghosts, gods and monsters. Although I became a god myself, I was still helpless. So, I changed my strategy.”

"I might as well just go and befriend ghosts and gods."

"The results are remarkable!"

"Some ghosts and gods are truly kinder, more trustworthy, and more loyal than humans."

"What we are going to do cannot be accomplished without the help of many friends; a lone wolf can hardly succeed."

"Alright, that's enough rambling."

"The diary also contains three separate chapters, which tell the stories of Xing, Achai, Qingxing, and me."

"If you have some free time, you can take a look."

"."

"Farewell, Uesugi Kiyoshi."

May you never forget your original aspirations.

Chapter 267 Sword Qi

This world.

The backyard of Uesugi Seidokan.

The atmosphere was unusually heavy.

The pressure came from the smartphone that Ken Yagyu was holding up.

Uesugi Kiyoshi knelt with his eyes closed, a sword shrouded in mist placed in front of him, and further ahead was a three-foot square testing stone.

Beside him, Uezumi Rin sat properly, vigilantly surveying his surroundings, dutifully protecting the Dharma.

On the phone screen, several faces that didn't look young had already gathered around.

The first to be affected were naturally Kamiizumi Hidekawa and Yagyu Teppei.

In addition, there were several middle-aged men who were clearly wearing kendo uniforms, and they were also gathered around them.

Outsiders might not be able to tell, but if Uesugi Kiyoshi were to wake up now, he would recognize them at a glance as renowned swordsmen, even sword masters who could suppress a region.

The intense sword intent in his eyes cannot be faked.

Especially for extraordinary swordsmen, their mysterious sword intent and killing aura can be truly detected.

At this moment, both Kamiizumi Hidekawa and Yagyu Teppei looked rather grim, their expressions quite serious.

A middle-aged swordsman next to him frowned and muttered to himself.

"It's been three hours already, hasn't it?"

"Hey, Ito, how long did it take you to awaken your swordsmanship back then?"

The swordsman called Ito pondered for a few seconds and said softly, "My talent is limited, and I have only undergone half an hour of sword heart training."

"Logically speaking, the longer one's sword heart is tempered, the clearer the awakened sword heart will be, the more intense the enlightenment will be, and the brighter the future will be."

"But...three hours."

"Isn't this taking way too long? Won't something go wrong?"

"You should know that so far, even the most outstanding swordsmen in history have never awakened their sword heart for more than an hour."

Upon hearing this, the muscles on Kamiizumi Hidekawa's face twitched violently, but he remained silent.

Instead, Yagyu Teppei gently nudged Izumi Hidekawa's shoulder.

"Hey, Xiuchuan, there's absolutely no problem with that sword heart seed."

"How can you still sit still? You understand, right? The human spirit has its limits. During the awakening process, the brain is overdeveloped, which can easily damage the brain. At best, it can turn you into an idiot, and at worst, it can kill you on the spot!"

"That's enough, let's stop."

"You should go back and check on this. Something must have gone wrong. Logically speaking, after training this kid for so long, it's impossible that he can't even pass the Sword Heart Awakening stage."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't value him so much."

Uezumi Hidekawa subconsciously clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it, revealing his palms soaked in cold sweat.
