A beam of light drew him in, and he suddenly appeared above Gui Wuzan's head, his two swords merging together to strike down!

—Godslayer Dual-Sword Style: River of Oblivion!!!

"Oh... swordsmanship that leaps through space? And the cutting power is quite astonishing!"

With a sigh of admiration, Oni Mutsuji raised his sword with one hand and blocked Zatoichi's attack with both swords!

"This downgraded version of the One-Sword Style once severely injured our Shadow Lord. The power of the Two-Sword Style is a hundred times greater than before, yet you caught it with one hand. You are truly a monster..."

Zatoichi grinned: "However..."

Ta-da!

He made hand seals using the wooden clogs he was wearing!

—Earth Release: Super Heavy Rock Technique!

Buzz...!!

Zatoichi's own weight increased more than a thousandfold!

"Ok?"

Feeling the sudden increase in force on his hand, Oni Muzan frowned and took a step back!

boom!!!

Zatoichi landed heavily, clashing with Oni Muzan using his twin swords!

"These little tricks often have unexpected effects. Now it's your turn, Mifune..."

Swish!

Mifune raised his sword horizontally, transforming into a streak of black light, and launched a 'backstab' at Oni Mutsuji!

—Pluto's Strike!

"This is my strongest thrusting technique. What will you do when you're attacked from both sides?!"

As Kibutsuji twirled his naginata, he turned around and softly uttered two words: "Ghostly nonsense..."

No sooner said than done, this action only takes place in milliseconds!

Suddenly, the naginata drew a purple trail, and Zatoichi, along with the sword, inexplicably moved from in front of Oni Mutsuji to behind him, following the trajectory of the naginata's pull!

"Huh?" Even the battle-hardened Zatoichi was caught off guard by the sudden display of skill.

chap!

Mifune's sword, unable to be stopped, pierced Zatoichi's chest and exited through his back.

Zatoichi smiled belatedly, "So... this move is called 'Nonsense'? It really is nonsense!"

"Ugh!!" With that, a handful of blood gushed from his mouth!

Fortunately, Zatoichi was tall and strong, so the stab wound was not fatal. Moreover, Mifune sensed something was wrong and subconsciously pulled back at the last moment, which saved Zatoichi's life!

After drawing his sword, Mifune stood frozen in place, bewildered: "Teacher!!"

Behind Zatoichi, Oni Mutsuji asked with concern, "Old man, are you alright? That teamwork just now was truly brilliant; I found it very interesting..."

Zatoichi, standing alone with his sword, said with embarrassment, "Is that so... To receive the strongest swordsman's 'interesting' evaluation is truly an honor!"

Gui Wuzan pondered for a moment, then reached into his robes and took out a porcelain bottle. He said solemnly, "This is a secret medicine specifically for treating sword wounds. As long as it's not a fatal injury, it will heal in the blink of an eye. Quickly, let's continue our discussion..."

Zatoichi: "Is it really that amazing that it can treat sword wounds?"

Oni Mutsuji: "Why don't you try and see?"

Zatoichi took the porcelain bottle and poured out a pill.

Mifune hesitated, "Teacher, that was given to us by the enemy!!!"

"If Mr. Onibutsuji wanted to kill, he didn't need to go through all this trouble..."

Having said that, Zatoichi swallowed the secret medicine!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

The sword wound inflicted by Mifune healed in the blink of an eye!

"This medicine is indeed miraculous..."

Zatoichi exclaimed in admiration and returned the medicine bottle.

Oni Mutsuji said, "No need to return it, I don't need it."

Zatoichi then stopped refusing.

Oni Mutsuji said, "Then let's continue our discussion. I'll say it again: if I get bored, I'll kill you all..."

Shock and humiliation were mixed together, causing Mifune's hand holding the sword to tremble uncontrollably!

Zatoichi: "Disciple, do not waver. Through this battle, carefully measure just how great the gap is between us and the strongest..."

Mifune: "Teacher..."

"This time, I'll take the lead!"

Zatoichi stood there with his sword drawn, his entire aura completely transformed, like a sleeping tiger awakening!

Chapter 1102 A Battle Between Heaven and Earth, a Painful Effort

Boom!

Zatoichi leaped into the air in his wooden clogs, took a deep breath, and gathered his swords, transforming his sword intent into a demon with wings on its back and horns on its head!

During the battle in Kenjuku, in the fight against Zatoichi's Riki, I was impressed by Riki's ghostly movements combined with his rapid slashing techniques!

Despite relying on the power of the 'Godslayer Blade Chasing the Sun', he managed to defeat Li Shi with a narrow escape from death!

But Zatoichi knew that in order to continue to advance in the field of swordsmanship, he had to overcome his own shortcomings!

Therefore, he absorbed the essence of the Li-style 'Divine Sword Technique' and combined it with his own characteristics as a human to create his own unique 'Heavenly Yaksha Style'. The evil spirits that embody his sword intent behind him are the manifestation of the Heavenly Yaksha Style!

Oni Mutsuji raised an eyebrow: "Oh? I can sense that your sword intent contains a powerful aura like a raging ocean...!"

*Sizzle!* A small, circular array appeared beneath his feet!

—Guardian Swordsmanship: Blank!

Clang! He then placed the naginata to the side, and the sword's power was activated, forming a cylindrical protective barrier with white sword energy!

——Guardian Sword Style: Heavenly Sword, Sub-Sword, Empty Wheel, Unenchanted, Naginata Form!

This barrier can even sever the 'sight' of a pupil technique, surpassing even the Dragon Style's Heavenly Totem!

Oni Mutsuji eagerly said, "Come on..."

Swish swish!

Zatoichi wielded his twin swords rapidly, while the Tenyasha behind him simultaneously flapped its wings!

—A past life of Vishnu, the Deva Yaksha!

Hundreds of sword lights overlapped, cascading down like a raging torrent!

boom!!

Oni Mutsuji's protective sword technique immediately became blurred and showed signs of disintegration under the impact of subsequent sword light!

Mifune exclaimed excitedly, "The gap between you and Oni Mutsuji isn't insurmountable!!"

Oni Mutsuji exclaimed, "Impressive! Although I haven't been able to spar with human swordsmen due to being confined to my home due to the family division, I know that your skill level among humans must be at a level that is almost divine..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sundial-shaped dial behind Oni Mutsuji unlocked the 'Chen' mark, and a short 'sword hilt' flew out from the corresponding slot!

Cha-cha-cha-cha...!

Several fragments were combined to form a small katana, two feet and five inches long, with a curved shape!

—Heavenly Sword, Sub-Sword, Empty Wheel, Unenchanted, Small Katana Form!

Within the flickering, candle-like barrier of the Guardian Sword, Oni Mutsuji raised his eyes and said, "I... I must return the honor to you, sir..."

"Don't even think about disturbing the teacher!!"

Mifune crouched down, his knife plunged into the ground!

—Netherworld Earth Wave!

Kibutsuji glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "A sword technique that channels sword energy into the ground to attack the enemy directly from under their feet, huh? Well, I can also use ground wave..."

chap!

He then plunged the small katana into the ground!

——Ground wave!

Mifune's Netherworld Earth Wave was neutralized, and at the same time, an even more powerful Earth Wave burst forth from beneath Mifune's feet!

Almost simultaneously, Oni Muzan drew his sword and pulled!

—Ground wave o nonsense!

Mifune, who was located southeast of Oni Mutsuji, was pulled directly to the northwest by the sword wave. As the sword energy dissipated, the resulting shockwave caused him to fall to the ground covered in wounds.

Oni Mutsuji said, "All my sword techniques can be combined with 'Oni Twist'."

Mifune used his sword to support himself as he stood up, still shaken: "If he had dragged me into Zatoichi-sensei's attack, I would have been torn to pieces in an instant!"

Oni Mutsuji laughed, "Didn't I say that as long as you don't bore me, I won't kill you? So, keep up the good work, Mishima Taro!"

Mifune: "My name is Mifune!!!"

Boom boom boom boom boom...!

Amidst the cascading flashes of sword light, the Guardian Sword System teeters on the brink of collapse!

Oni Mutsuji chuckled and said, "However, the old man is really strong, so I'll have to add a little something extra..."

—Fire attribute enchantment!

hum!

The small katana in his hand was now in a quenched state!
