I am a female swordsman.

"shut up!"

A cold, burning rage flickered deep within Sephiroth's handsome, turquoise eyes. He didn't want to listen to the traitor; what he needed to do now was…

Clang!

The gleaming Masamune was drawn swiftly, its sharp blade, wreathed in chilling aura, pointing directly at Sakura Yomi. This malevolent weapon, which had once drunk the blood of humans and monsters, now pointed directly at Sakura Yomi, causing her to immediately feel the air temperature plummet.

“I remember teaching you this, Sephiroth. If you point your blade at something, you must be prepared to take its life. Driven by anger, do you really have that preparation? The preparation to kill me?” Sakura Yomi glanced around subtly.

"Why betray him?" Perhaps out of a lingering sense of past affection, Sephiroth did not immediately make a move.

"Haha, now you want to know the answer? If we're talking about betrayal, it's you who betrayed us, it's all of you. Sephiroth, and the Shinra pursuers." If she could control her body's changes, believe me, Sakura Yomi would become the [Shinra Chairman] in a heartbeat and let these annoying guys know they've committed a crime.

"nonsense."

"It seems my guidance to you hasn't been enough." Sakura Yomi looked at Sephiroth and sighed inexplicably. Having accepted Mado Yomi's identity, she hadn't been able to do what she was supposed to do.

He neither guided Sephiroth away from tragedy nor truly allowed him to enjoy freedom.

"It's alright, we have one last lesson. Come, Sephiroth, let me teach you how to fight powerful enemies."

With a flick of his left hand, a magnificent cherry-colored longsword materialized!

The sword, named Divine Light, is three feet and four inches long. Its speed surpasses all that can kill, and it can even destroy the abyss. This legendary weapon, said to be invincible and unstoppable, was once the beloved sword of Sakura Yomi. Neither life nor death, time nor space could hinder its will to remain by its master's side. And once Sakura Yomi manifests this sword, it means she will defeat her enemy with the utmost seriousness!

"Ridiculous, you are nothing but..."

Whoosh!

Sephiroth, who had just opened his mouth, immediately felt a sharp pain in his cheek. When he came to his senses, he felt an unfamiliar sensation on his face. It was a little stinging, a little itchy, and something seemed to be burrowing out from under his skin. Finally, Sephiroth realized he was injured…

Since its birth, no one has been able to leave a scar on it, but now it has been broken by its own assistant.

"What am I? A hero's assistant? Or just a nobody? Don't forget, I'm the one who's in control right now!"

Holding two swords in each hand!

Enveloped in rings of dazzling cherry blossom-colored sword energy, Sakura Yomi's magnificent and swift figure reached Sephiroth in the blink of an eye! The roaring, swirling sword light was like a giant millstone, threatening to drag the arrogant [One-Winged Angel] into it and crush him!

Two swords against a single blade!

Sephiroth instinctively raised his Masamune to block, but as if she had seen through his every move, Sakura Yomi's change of tactics was extremely abrupt, instantly retracting her sword light and freezing it on [Divine Light]. Sephiroth witnessed the poignant scene of cherry blossoms scattering!

An upward slash sent the enemy flying! The sword light surged, and the continuous aerial attacks sent scattering cherry blossom petals everywhere!

Sephiroth and Sakura Yomi plummeted towards the ground with lightning speed! Sephiroth had to admit, his assistant was truly formidable!

Chapter 115 Heavenly Punishment

The Masamune sword continuously emitted a sharp, captivating whistle. From afar, within the deathmatch cage where sword energy intertwined, a ball of silver light and shattered cherry blossoms were entangled together.

They were biting and tearing at each other fiercely, as if they wanted to destroy their enemy completely!

It wasn't a competition or a friendly exchange; it was a ruthless act, a desire to completely erase the other from this world. What should have been a beautiful and poignant scene was inexplicably filled with ferocity!

Sephiroth had to admit...

Mado Yomi, she's really strong!!

Whether it was her intuition to anticipate the enemy's moves, her grasp of the timing of her attacks, or her unwavering fighting spirit, all of these were the pinnacle Sephiroth had ever witnessed. It was as if this woman before him had experienced countless battles filled with carnage, and every move she made was so precise that it seemed almost innate.

That is the realm of [nothingness], [emptiness], and [nature].

But Sephiroth didn't think he could be defeated so easily! After all, he was an arrogant man who looked down on everyone except that woman!

Eight slashes in a flash!!

From within the scattered cherry blossoms, one terrifying blade of energy after another was unleashed with deadly force. The seemingly beautiful yet incredibly deadly cherry blossom sword light was shattered, these eight strikes coalescing in a flash. This was Sephiroth's prized combat technique, an impossible feat achieved through the combination of a human body and unwavering will.

If it is a normal sword strike, the slashes of a single sword must have a specific sequence.

No matter how swift, fast, or elegant a sword strike may be, the subtle sequence of movements becomes a weakness in the enemy's defense.

If the muscle is like this, then cutting it at the same time can erase this flaw.

That's what Sephiroth thought. Unlike normal humans, common sense held almost no sway over him. So by the time he realized what was happening, he had already mastered the multi-dimensional sword technique. This god-like skill had thus been acquired by him.

Within Sakura Yomi's perception, each of the eight sword energies contained a blade capable of slicing through gold and jade.

It is applied to the body simultaneously, without distinction of before or after.

In reality, this combat technique is beyond evasion and cannot be avoided. To survive this technique that allows one to reach the realm of gods from a human body, one must accurately shatter all eight strikes simultaneously; otherwise, if even one strike succeeds, all eight will arrive at once!

However, Sakura Yomi is unwilling to play by the rules; her birth environment determines that she will often do amazing things at crucial moments.

"A chaotic burial of flowers!"

Faced with the perilous prospect of eight swords striking simultaneously, Sakura Yomi wielded her twin swords with a flick of her wrists, weaving through the gaps between the eight strikes with astonishing energy control, beginning an embroidery. Indeed, as the swords danced, a three-dimensional flower was embroidered using the eight swords as its skeletal framework.

This flower is so lifelike.

She uses her opponent's moves as a basis, transforming them into her own sword style, and locking down the opponent's attacks. It should be said that she truly deserves the title of "Sword Master," as even the most ordinary sword techniques can be made into countless variations in her hands.

Can you do this?

Sephiroth hadn't expected that Sakura Yomi would be able to lock down the dangerous folding slash in such a clever and effortless way. This was skill, wasn't it? Skill honed through countless life-or-death experiences, possessing a perilous beauty akin to walking a tightrope over an abyss, making one's heart race involuntarily!

But that's not all!

Just as the flower was about to take shape, the eight descending sword energies trembled simultaneously, like a raging dragon destroying the cherry-colored sword energy that had been restraining and confining them! Then, as the sweeping sword energies descended, they created a gust of wind!

Eight Blades in One Flash: Returning Wind!

"Um?!"

A flicker of surprise crossed Sakura Yomi's face. Her instincts, honed through countless life-or-death battles, compelled her to move away from the ground without hesitation. The next moment, she looked down and saw the ground tearing apart and converging into a single blade of energy, whistling as it swept towards the sky!

'So that's how it is...'

Swipe!

The soaring sword energy, like an inverted waterfall, was like a natural disaster, causing the earth to groan and tremble. Even the sword energy cage set up by Sakura Yomi was torn open by this soaring sword energy.

The aftershocks reduced all the flames and smoke within a hundred miles to nothing. Sephiroth's complete eight-sword technique was tightly linked, with each link filled with deadly intent.

"Is your power over?"

With graceful strides, his figure moved like a phantom towards the center of the swirling wind. Sephiroth's cold pupils gleamed with an eerie blue light, and the demonic energy within his body was brewing a new and terrifying attack.

"Being sharp-tongued and quick-witted is not a good habit."

Retaliating without hesitation against Sephiroth, Sakura Yomi emerged unscathed from the cascading aftershocks. This earth-shattering, sky-piercing attack, like a phantom, hadn't harmed her in the slightest. This outcome was undoubtedly unexpected; she had cheated by dodging the returning wind.

"What incredible talent! You can create such moves just by feeling, without anyone teaching you."

Sakura Yomi's meaningful words made Sephiroth raise an eyebrow.

He could sense that Sakura Yomi was intentionally leading him to ask certain questions. This was nothing more than a pointless stalling tactic; today, no matter the cost, he would cut off this despicable traitor's head!

He stretched one hand towards the sky.

A hint of intoxication appeared on Sephiroth's godlike handsome face, and his boundless Mako energy surged and roared like a tsunami! Centered on Sephiroth's outstretched hand reaching towards the sky, thick, dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, obscuring the sun, and faint, dying rays of light fell from the gaps in the swirling clouds.

"Never forget this pain, Yomi Mado."

The terrifying energy, equivalent to a thousand Mako Stones detonated simultaneously, was being unleashed. The azure-green ionized energy was pulling and pulling, causing a colossal, despair-inducing crimson phantom to take shape in the void. As it formed, it rapidly approached the Sakura Yomizu below the material world!

Even if Sakura Yomi was usually very composed, her lips twitched at this moment.

That bastard!

That was a meteorite! Although it's unknown how Sephiroth did it, he did indeed use a massive amount of Mako energy to pull a meteorite from the void and smash it down on the cherry blossoms below!

Falling at an astonishing speed of ten kilometers per second, it burns and glows from friction, and its speed continues to increase. The moment this meteorite breaks free from the pull of space, it will crash directly onto the earth. Its energy will be more powerful than a small atomic bomb explosion, enough to grind Sakura Yomi into utterly pulverized dust!

Mako Technique: Heavenly Punishment!

Chapter 116 Evil Must Be Killed

The meteorite that struck from the void turned the sky a fiery red, like a burning cloud.

Its quality is incalculable.

Plunging at a suffocating speed of ten kilometers per second, if it weren't still within the realm of gravitating void, the very prelude to this meteorite would have been enough to make all living beings on Earth kneel in worship of this divine punishment. This scene reminded Sakura Yomi of a certain destructive black technology from Shinra—the Gravity Well!

I might really die...

Sakura Yomi couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, I was originally planning to keep this trump card to myself and trick her, but now it seems I have no choice but to use it." While Huang Quan was making preparations, Ying Huang Quan was also secretly preparing. She originally wanted to give Huang Quan a big surprise at the last moment, but at this moment, facing the divine punishment of the falling meteorite, it would be difficult to defeat it by relying solely on the power of the wandering samurai before it was awakened.

Putting everything else aside, the shockwave from the meteorite's weight alone could have killed her.

But...

It could be done with the power of two, or even three, different professions. That's right, when Sakura Yomi once roamed the Arad continent, she only possessed the power of the [Wandering Samurai]. At that time, the system abandoned her, and with almost all her memories worn away, she could only push the [Wandering Samurai] profession to its limit in order to survive.

Therefore, Sakura Yomi is already extremely familiar with the "Wandering Samurai".

The process of gradually restoring her past life's power was indeed underway, but it didn't consume all of Sakura Yomi's energy. While controlling this body, she secretly deduced the lineages of the [Sword Master] and [Demon Contractor] based on the traces of the transferred energy, ensuring that she could use some skills of these two professions.

Furthermore, they devised a pseudo-awakening technique.

With her crimson eyes reflecting the oppressive flames overhead, Sakura Yomi quickly devised a plan to break free from this divine punishment within a very short timeframe.

Sephiroth wove a traction spell with Mako energy at its core. If she can shatter and destroy the spell before the meteorite leaves the void, then the celestial punishment, now without traction, will continue to be lost in the void.

[Wandering Samurai] Combat Skill: Five Elements Gathering! [Wandering Samurai] Combat Skill: Returning to the Origin!

The Five Elements Convergence technique unleashes one's potential by circulating internal energy through the meridians, removing most of the body's limitations. Theoretically, as long as the body can withstand it, one can unleash unlimited potential. In her previous life, Sakura Yomi was able to repeatedly win in desperate situations largely due to this divine skill.

Returning to one's origin, on the other hand, involves developing the brain, allowing one's internal energy circulation and techniques to be simplified to a point of minimal complexity. With all artifice removed, all techniques are reduced to their essence.

With these two combat techniques activated, Sakura Yomi's aura became almost imperceptible.

Like a banished immortal, he drifts away from the world, seemingly detached from its ways, with the potential to ascend to heaven at any moment.

Next up is the power of the Swordmaster!

What Huang Quan had always wanted to do but never had the chance to do was to fuse the two most compatible classes for female ghost swordsmen. However, the Huang Quan in the "what if" scenario, Sakura Huang Quan, accomplished this before her. The cherry-colored, fluttering sword light turned into a deep blue, and after simulating the magic vein, the internal energy within Sakura Huang Quan's body began to transform into incomparably sharp sword energy!

Although both [Sword Master] and [Wandering Samurai] are swordsmen, their differences are quite obvious.

Both originate from the same source and utilize energy transfer.
