Great, we're doomed now!

Expansion! Healing! Tearing!

An ordinary human body undergoes a painful transformation process, undergoing a complete metamorphosis within just ten minutes. When it stands up again, it has a completely different perspective.

This is a small giant who is at least two and a half meters tall. There is almost no intact skin on his body. His well-defined muscles are exposed like hard armor, protecting his relatively fragile internal organs.

The pale, sharp bones sprouted long, pointed spikes, from the ribs, elbows, knees, and top of the head, as if they were covered with short knives and daggers. If one tightened their arms and legs, they would transform into a wheel of blades that could strangle everything.

The sparks from the helicopter explosion ignited a large-scale fire, and the forest was gradually being swallowed up. Half of the sky was dyed red, just like a blood-red fog that was about to engulf the world!

—The ferocious and arrogant man opened his eyes amidst the raging flames, his white hair flying in the heat, revealing a demonic face that was completely unlike any human.

Ryomen Sukuna (Sukuna Oni)!

The priests' corpses lay scattered to one side, their deaths gruesome but all fatal from a single blow. Sukuna first eliminated these empty shells, then chose a physical body with a stronger spiritual energy.

And then a helicopter happened to fly overhead—proving that this thing really is easy to fall off~

For this evil spirit that once dominated a region in ancient times, its physical body is not something that can be replaced at will, because each transformation consumes a large amount of its remaining demonic power.

But now he spared no effort, transforming the priest's body into the form most suitable for him to unleash his power, because he had a premonition—

It's coming soon!

A duel that was destined to happen is about to begin!

Since ancient times, whenever demons and monsters have tried to wreak havoc on the human world, there have always been samurai or onmyoji who stand on the side of ordinary people, and the two sides will use all means to fight to the death on this land!

It is an extremely ancient spirit, and this is not the first time it has encountered humans who have come to challenge it.

In most cases, it is the victor, but a single mistake can plunge it into eternal damnation...

It will not repeat the mistakes of hundreds of years ago!

Having finally awakened in a prosperous era, it is determined to make everything it touches its own!

Kerala~

Stretching his stiff neck, Sukunaki casually pulled out a slender Tang-style straight sword from the open long box—the sacred shrine escorted by the priests. Originally a ceremonial sword, its blade alone was over two meters long, and not something ordinary people could wield.

However, this exaggerated form actually suited Sukuna, whose height and arm span far exceeded those of ordinary people.

"Gulp...uh...no, don't..."

Beside the wreckage of the helicopter, a man in uniform lay dying, his eyes devoid of fear, numbly watching the monster slowly approach him.

His mind was in complete disarray. Not long ago, someone in the crew had suddenly lost their mind and started attacking others, including the captain. Low-altitude night flight was dangerous enough, but this unexpected incident had exacerbated the situation. In the ensuing struggle, the helicopter lost its balance and crashed.

He cannot be considered a survivor, as his lower limbs have been lost and the massive bleeding has left him feeling incredibly cold despite being surrounded by heat.

"You...you're the one...who did this?"

The man moved his neck with difficulty, glancing at Su Na Gui with a blank expression.

"I never expected it to be... a monster, hehe..."

Sukuna looked down at the man who was destined to die, without any reaction. After all, killing or eating people was a very common thing for him.

"Hundreds of years ago, humans still needed horse-drawn carriages to travel, but now we can create iron birds that can fly in the sky... These little tricks are ultimately useless. No matter when, humans will always be an extremely weak existence, and only a few will become strong."

puff!

The long sword pierced the man's body from top to bottom, through his collarbone.

"And you, the value of the weak is to become bait for the strong!"

The man's eyes lost their luster, while the rusty ancient sword was gradually covered with red veins like blood vessels, making the murder weapon look as terrifying as if it had just been drawn from a furnace.

"In this way, I will have everything I need."

Sukuna Oni drew his longsword, but not a single drop of blood was spat out; it was all absorbed. The longsword itself was completely transformed, its blade now a blazing golden-red, radiating a heat that seemed to distort the very air.

It casually swung its sword a few times, and the blade stirred up visible, semi-transparent ripples wherever it passed, which greatly pleased Sukuna Oni.

Of course, this is not because the sword itself is made of particularly high-quality materials.

As it turns out, this Tang Dynasty straight sword, which had been worshipped as a divine vessel for hundreds or even thousands of years, possessed no special power whatsoever. Although it did have the added benefit of faith, it was not something an evil spirit could exploit, so it was simply ignored.

It's simply using human flesh and blood as a medium to "enchant" the ancient sword.

Actually, it's just a random piece of rotor fragment you find on the ground, and the enchanted effect is probably better than any ancient sword or blade!

My obsession with Gujian is simply a matter of personal preference.

"Isn't one person's flesh and blood enough? To forge a true demon sword, it would probably require the blood of a hundred people."

Feeling the pulse in my hand, it was as if I were holding not a weapon, but the beating heart of another.

That familiar feeling of dominating everything is back!

And in this peaceful era, no powerful samurai will ever again cause trouble!

"Hehe...ha...hahahaha! A physical body! I've finally obtained a decent physical body!"

Next comes the hunting—"

Boom!

The atmosphere seemed to be struck hard, and invisible ripples spread across the surface. The scorching armor-piercing bullet pierced through Sukunaki's jawbone and blew off half of his chin!

What is this?!

Sukuna-ki smiled across his scarred face, his tall and strong body immediately lowered, and the next second he shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

They actually...they actually came to find me on their own initiative!

Although they still use such cowardly weapons, it seems that there are still warriors in this era!

Boom!

Boom!

Large-caliber sniper rifle bullets are enough to penetrate thin armor; even Sukuna would be injured if hit. Yet, his steps were unimpeded, like an undead zombie, seemingly unconcerned about his horrific wounds, continuing his relentless charge like a rabid, hungry dog.

This is the terrifying aspect of being "inhuman"!

If it were Sukuna's true form, let alone bullets, even naval cannons would have difficulty penetrating its defenses. However, although this one is modified from a human body and lacks the ability to withstand armor-piercing bullets, its bones are as hard and resilient as an alloy.

No matter how much flesh is blasted off, as long as the skeleton can still move, the wounds will heal, and it will continue to hunt its prey!

Huhuhu~

The mountain scenery receded rapidly, and Sukunaki swiftly located Yoru, who was hiding in a tree providing long-range sniping. Seeing the boy's panicked expression, Sukunaki grinned maliciously and charged forward—

boom!

boom!

It's unclear what they touched, but two bursts of intense light suddenly erupted from beneath Sukunaki's feet.

The scorching flames, as hot as magma, and the lightning that emitted blue aftershocks, mercilessly devoured it!

"Aaaaaah! You despicable coward! You dare not fight me head-on? Is this what you call a samurai?!"

Ye Shou suddenly calmed down, turned the gun around, and fired a bullet, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow.

Boom! ! !

Amidst the interplay of lightning and fire, Sukuna-ki's forehead exploded like a ripe fruit!

Despicable? How can one become a sword saint without using the Ashina style?!

Chapter 24: Lightblade Technology, Old Deng!

laugh!

The rising flames split in two like water breaking apart, Ye Shou's pupils shrank sharply, and he fell backward.

Using the strength of his waist, he flipped over and landed steadily, while the tree branch he had been riding on fell silently, its cut surface perfectly smooth.

Sword pressure? It's more troublesome than I imagined.

The dark figure, accompanied by a blast of hot air, broke through the flames and took two large strides, about to crush Ye Shou like a wild boar!

In that instant, Ye Shou's attention was extremely focused. His [Ghost Brain] flashed through a series of images, presenting the results as if predicting the future.

—It's the Kasaya-giri!

With a side lunge and a prone stance, the body, honed through long training, is far more flexible than that of an average person. The movements are as natural and swift as those of a gymnast, and almost as if a sharp gust of wind sweeps past from above in the blink of an eye.

He successfully dodged the attack that was originally meant to cut Ye Shou in half at the waist!

At the same time, the dark, cold muzzle of the gun was once again pointed at Sukuna's head—

boom!

The shot, fired at point-blank range, left the demon with no chance to react. Unfortunately, the angle couldn't be adjusted perfectly in time, and it only hit the throat, blowing open half of the neck, tearing apart the muscles and exposing the bare bones.

Even so, Sukuna-ki still stood firm!

When the two-and-a-half-meter-long crimson blade swept over, Ye Shou didn't hesitate to abandon his cumbersome sniper rifle, rolled away from Sukuna's left, and distanced himself from the enemy from the rear.

A gust of wind suddenly blew through the woods—

The hair at the back of Sukuna's head was blown away, and a hideous demon face opened its blood-red maw. Blazing white flames shot straight toward Ye Shou like a pillar!

Ye Shou barely managed to dodge to the side, but was still grazed by the aftershock, and half of his clothes quickly burst into flames.

He remained calm and tore his coat and shirt apart with a forceful tug, then twisted his wrist to form a ball and threw it forward.

Sukuna-ki could see clearly from behind, so he turned around and swiftly cleaved him in two with a single sword strike—

boom!

The exploding flames, like the breath of a dragon, instantly engulfed it!

——【Scorched Earth Grenade】

In the instant he tore his clothes, Ye Shou treated the "clothes covering his wrists" as a pocket, opened it only about twenty centimeters wide, and then threw out whatever fell in, without caring what it was.

It seems like we hit the jackpot – a high-powered grenade!

Whew~ Whew~ Whew...

With a brief moment to catch his breath, his heart began to pound rapidly, and all sorts of emotions suppressed by the [Ghost Brain] surged up, causing Ye Shou's hands to tremble slightly.

The impact of a real life-or-death battle is undoubtedly the strongest. Even though he had repeated the SAO simulation battles many times, he still felt an excitement rising from the depths of his soul!

……excited?
