Oni Mutsuji: "Hahahaha, is this what a life-or-death battle is like? To take the opponent's life, you're willing to seize every opening. I've never experienced anything like this before when sparring with anyone. Well, I'll..."

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Eleven swords around him rang out, hovering in the air, ready to pierce Zatoichi!

Zatoichi suddenly changed the shape of his sword, clamping it between Oni Muzan's oni-head sword, and kicked him hard in the stomach with his wooden clogs!

—The Sword-Disarming Technique: Oni-Hitsugi!

Boom! As Kibutsuji was kicked away, the sword in his hand was pulled out and thrown into the air!

At this moment, Oni Mutsuji had no sword in his hand!

boom!

Zatoichi's wooden clogs shattered the ground as he flashed to Oni Mutsuji's side, his twin swords merging together, and the sword intent behind him transformed into a fierce tiger!

—The decapitation technique, the Tiger Head Guillotine!

In the critical moment, Oni Muzan's hand lashed out like lightning towards the back of his neck!

clang!!

Zatoichi's decapitating strike was blocked by the 'spine' that Oni Muzan pulled out from the back of his neck!

"Unfortunately, my spine is the thirteenth sub-sword of the Heavenly Sword, and..."

The twenty-four vertebrae of Oni Mutsuji's spine folded over and pierced out from his back, transforming into twenty-four swords!

Twenty-four swords flew into the sky, twelve above and twelve below, forming two circles!

"Old sir, you are now caught in the crossfire of my 'Sword Twenty-Four' offensive sword technique..."

"Meridian flow theory...!"

Buzz! The core of the roulette wheel behind Oni Muzan transformed into a dazzling sphere of light!

—The Sun!

—Light Enchantment!

The twelve swords in the distance, and the twenty-four swords close at hand, were simultaneously enveloped in the radiance of the sun!

Swish swish swish swish swish...!

Gui Wuzan's figure flashed alternately among the twenty-four swords, each flash a full-force slash as he drew his sword!

"All counterattacks are futile, because during the release of this sword technique, I will be in an 'invincible' state!!!"

—Twenty-Four Attack Sword Techniques: Limitless Slash!

*Crackling sound*...!

Twenty-four sword beams alternated in the void, slicing the space itself with glass-like cracks. With a snap, that space shattered into nothingness, and Zatoichi vanished without a trace...

call out!

Gui Wuzan's figure flashed out, the twenty-four swords transformed back into joints and were inserted back into his spine, while the twelve son swords also gathered around him.

With a sigh, he said, "Farewell, sir..."

call out! !

Suddenly... a black window opened in the sky!

Zatoichi fell, battered and bruised, saying with lingering fear, "That was close..."

Oni Mutsuji looked surprised: "Old sir, what is this...?"

Zatoichi stood up with his sword drawn: "Those users of eye techniques are skilled in a technique called Yomotsu Hirasaka. I tried to imitate it with my swordsmanship, but unfortunately, my cutting power was insufficient. After all, the difficulty of simply cutting through space is vastly different from cutting a passage between two different time-space dimensions. Fortunately, in a moment of desperation, I barely succeeded just now..."

That's right, this move is called...

——Nito-ryu o Huangquan Hirazaka!

Kibutsuji lowered his brows and murmured, "My 'sword techniques' are all capable of severing the 'vision' of eye techniques. If it's really Yomotsu Hirasaka, it won't work on me..."

After taking the last of the healing remedies, all his sword wounds were healed.

Zatoichi chuckled, "I almost let you down..."

"I'd love to fight you to the death, but you're arguing with me about philosophy..."

Oni Mutsuji laughed like a child, then quickly became serious: "I'm sorry, my attitude before was a bit arrogant..."

Zatoichi said, "That's not arrogance, that's the composure of a strong person."

Gui Wuzan sincerely said, "At this moment, I regard you as a human swordsman who is equal to me, the master of the Heavenly Sword! Let me show you the true form of the Heavenly Sword!"

Chapter 1107 Clash of Heaven and Earth, The Ultimate Sword

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!

The twelve swords of the Heavenly Sword were scattered into countless fragments. The hilts returned to their positions on the wheel behind Oni Mutsuji. With the longest hilt of the naginata at the '子' mark as the core, the gaps between the hilts were quickly filled and they became a whole!

This is the hilt of the Heavenly Sword!

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!

The fragments reassembled at the 'noon' mark into a majestic double-edged sword!

There is a three-finger gap between the two blades. The spine of the Heavenly Demon Wuzan, the thirteenth sub-sword of the Heavenly Sword, was pulled out from the back of the neck and embedded in the hollow.

The sword formed from the twenty-four vertebrae also flew up, and on the outer edge of the blade, it turned into two rows of slanted teeth!

Whoosh! As Oni Mutsuji gripped his sword, the sword aura rising from the blade transformed into a mithril-silver swordsman's robe!

The defensive capabilities of this robe surpass those of the Twelve Sons Sword version of 'Guardian Sword Style'!

Noisy!

Oni Mutsuji's pupils turned silver-gray, and his gaze seemed to transform into tangible sword energy. Any user of eye techniques who looked into his eyes would have their eyes instantly cleaved by the sword energy!

It combines offense and defense seamlessly, making it virtually invincible!

This is the true form of Ōtsutsuki Onitsuji as the ninth generation sword master of the Heavenly Sword!

Gui Wuzan remained as friendly as ever: "As you can see, this is the Heavenly Sword - its original form. It's a bit exaggerated, isn't it? Oh, sorry, I forgot, you can't see."

Zatoichi said with embarrassment, "I sensed your keen eye. Whether it's exaggerated or not is another matter, but it is indeed a divine sword that can shake the heavens and move the gods. I have experienced the sword of our Lord Shadow, the Great God of the Ninja Kingdom. Although its sharpness is not quite as good, in terms of the purity of sword energy, your Heavenly Sword is truly unique. It is the strongest sword that only the strongest swordsman is worthy of using!"

Gui Wuzan smiled faintly: "You flatter me, sir."

Zatoichi: "I have a question. Did the Heavenly Sword originally have many sub-sword forms?"

Oni Mutsuji: "No, each sword master uses the Heavenly Sword differently. I prefer to disassemble the Heavenly Sword into its parts."

Zatoichi: "Uh... why is that? Doesn't the power decrease after it's split up?"

Oni Mutsuji: "I like to explore the ultimate principles of swordsmanship. The Heavenly Sword itself is a greatsword, which is powerful and unrestrained, but lacks finesse. By breaking it down into sub-swords and using each one in its own way, we can better interpret the aesthetics of the sword!"

Zatoichi nodded: "I admire you, I admire you!"

Oni Mutsuji chuckled and asked, "Finished asking?"

Zatoichi: "Is your spine also part of the Heavenly Sword?"

Oni Mutsuji: "No, I added it myself."

"Thank you for clarifying my doubts. I have finished asking the questions!"

Zatoichi lay with his twin swords at his side, while Oni Mutsuji stood before him with his Heavenly Sword!

Their respective swordsman etiquette, one vertical and one horizontal, one heaven and one earth, are unparalleled throughout history!

In a duel between swordsmen, if they fight with all their might, the outcome can often be decided in an instant.

Oni Mutsuji: "The debate is over. What follows is a life-or-death battle. Old man, you have obtained the Death Ring, so your chakra will never run out. A protracted battle is not in my favor, so let's finish this quickly!"

—Heavenly Sword, Original Sword, Twin Wheels of Sun and Moon, All Attributes Enchantment!

Crackling sounds filled the air as various dazzling lights shone upon the Heavenly Sword, creating an atmosphere of chaos due to the sheer number of elements present.

The moment Oni Mutsuji unleashed his sword intent, day and night alternated continuously on Shodoshi Island, and various celestial phenomena occurred!

As if facing the oppression of the entire world, Zatoichi was unable to move: "What kind of powerful sword intent is this? It can even interfere with the concept of reality..."

In terms of sword intent, even under the protection of Shira Chikai, Zatoichi is no match for Oni Muzan!

But Zatoichi was well aware of the principle of using a single point to break through the whole!

"With my mind focused on the root chakra, my body becomes like a sword; even in this vast world, I will be invincible!"

chap!

Zatoichi's sword intent, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, carved out a path through the vast sword intent of Oni Mutsuji, allowing him to resume his movements!

"Ha! Brilliant! Brilliant!"

After praising him, Oni Mutsuji couldn't contain his pride and the next second, he revealed his true colors!

--"bring it on!!"

Clang clang clang clang...!!

In an instant, two curtains of swords clashed!

That was a fierce clash of sword energies unleashed by the two from a distance. Oni Mutsuji's Tenshin sword was powerful and heavy, each sword energy containing the cutting power of nine mountains and eight seas, capable of taking on ten or a hundred opponents at once. Zatoichi's twin swords were like a storm, and with his inexhaustible chakra, his sword energy was like the Yangtze River, surging endlessly!

Boom boom boom boom boom boom...!

The sword energy piled up endlessly in the void, and in a certain instant, along with the surrounding space, it suddenly collapsed into a black 'dot'!

Both of them felt an astonishing 'power' emanating from that black dot!

"not good……!!!"

The two retreated simultaneously, and suddenly, the 'momentum' contained within the black dot erupted, sword energy traversing thousands of miles, annihilating everything visible to the naked eye on Xiaodou Island, even particles at the microscopic level!

After the storm subsided, Shodoshima Island was broken into dozens of pieces, floating on the Tongtian River.

Oni Mutsuji stood on a floating island, protected by the robe materialized from the Heavenly Sword's aura during the recent baptism.

His sharp, almond-shaped eyes scanned the surroundings, but Zatoichi was nowhere to be seen.

"Old man, is he dead?"
