Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Saijo previously said that Sano had a weapon advantage, which was pure nonsense. Perhaps the black sword is indestructible, but it's as if that thing can cut through the opponent's sword. However, now it really is a weapon advantage.

Its sharpness allows it to cut through anything.

Whether Sano could actually cut through iron is no longer important; the sword could.

After a moment of stunned silence, Saijo retreated in horror.

...How could that be? I use only the finest swords.

How could it possibly be cut in half by a wooden sword?!

"Quick, get the demon sword Muramasa!!"

Saijo screamed in horror. Sano, who was about to finish him off, heard the words that sounded like "Go to the Western Paradise and ask Buddha for help."

But he paused, then stood there motionless.

Seeing this, Conan and the others who were watching couldn't help but have strange expressions.

...Was this deliberately left to give Saijo a chance to retaliate?

I really don't know whether to call it confidence or arrogance.

Fortunately, the Yoshitsune school didn't keep Sano waiting for long. In just a few seconds, a long sword was thrown from the air towards Saijo with a cry of "Master!"

"Clang!"

Saijo leaped up to catch the sword; the blade was drawn, gleaming coldly.

Chapter 632, Chapter 635: Hello 110, I need to call the police! A horse is speeding!

Demon sword Muramasa.

This name sounds familiar.

It appears frequently in Japanese films and television shows, so much so that even if you're not from Japan, if you're online a lot, you've probably heard of it to some extent... but you just don't know what this cursed sword, Muramasa, is.

Is it genuine or not?

If so, then what's the difference between it and a regular knife?

Could it be that a demon possesses him and then uses the same sword energy as him?

Considering that Yoshitsune-ryu is an ancient school... although it doesn't seem to have much history, judging from the level of these disciples, they are not rubbish.

They shouldn't be using counterfeit products, right?

Are we finally going to see new superpowers besides witches?

Driven by curiosity and anticipation, Sano gave Saijo time to reveal his trump card. However, one thing puzzled him: if Saijo had such powerful equipment, why didn't he use it from the beginning?

Is it because they're like themselves, or are they just reluctant to use it?

"Suffer to death!"

Having obtained his trump card, Saijo seemed to regain some confidence and charged at Sano again.

Sano slowly raised his sword to meet the cursed sword Muramasa.

It was less that Sano was parrying Saijo's slash, and more that Saijo was deliberately slashing at the black sword in his hand, with the aim of testing his skills.

"Ding!"

And in the instant the two knives crossed.

With a crisp sound, half of the blade flew into the sky.

"...The Muramasa demon sword, like the Yoshitsune school, is utterly vulnerable."

Sano swung his black sword dismissively in the air, before the surrounding audience could even react in shock.

Yuji Suwa suddenly realized something was wrong.

"That is...?"

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, a red line gradually spread across Saijo's neck.

Blood beads seeped out.

Saijo tried to look down, but found he couldn't.

"Come on."

After a soft popping sound like a bubble bursting, Saijo's head suddenly shrank a little... or more precisely, it shifted a little to his lower left.

"...In addition to severing Muramasa, they also severed his neck!?"

Yuji Suwa had barely uttered his incredulous voice when Saijo's head fell to the ground, rolling as the headless corpse tumbled down with a thud.

"what!!!"

After a brief silence, the Yoshitsune-ryu disciples cried out in surprise.

"Monster! This guy is a monster!!"

"Master is dead! Master is dead!!"

"Run! Run!"

"There's no escaping him, let's fight him to the death!!!"

"..."

The situation became chaotic in an instant, on a scale that was already severely tilted.

The most important factor in the Yoshitsune school has been lost.

Therefore, the entire scale would naturally be impossible to balance.

Those who should be terrified and run away, those who should be desperate and give up, kneel down, and those who should be broken and lose their minds try to strike first and kill Sano together.

The group's previous well-organized siege had failed to do anything to Sano, so what use would this chaotic siege be now?

Not to mention that Sano now is not on the same level as before.

"Shh!"

With just a simple circular slash, the Yoshitsune-ryu disciples who had surrounded him from all directions stopped in their tracks at the same moment. An invisible force tore at their necks, and in an instant, a fountain of blood shot into the sky, with a dozen round heads at the top.

Blood fell like rain.

Sano took two steps and immediately covered several meters, launching another dash attack.

Those Yoshitsune-ryu disciples who stayed put and waited to die followed in the footsteps of their predecessors, and then came the last group to escape.

It wasn't until this moment that Suwa Yuji came to his senses and exclaimed in shock.

"This is... sword energy!?"

...At the very beginning of the battle, Sano relied on an indestructible wooden sword.

Use it as a stick.

It's somewhat plausible that someone could be beaten to death by relying on superior swordsmanship.

Then he used a wooden knife to break the real knife.

Despite his shock, Yuji Suwa could not completely accept it.

But after breaking the ancient and famous sword Muramasa, it also broke Saijo's neck.

That's not quite right.

Unlike the previous bone-breaking, this is a spatial separation type of break.

This is beyond what swordsmanship and strength alone can achieve.

Even now, Sano is still slashing... or rather, cutting off the heads of more than a dozen people from several meters away. This makes Suwa Yuuji, who thought that the previous operation of cutting off Saijo's head was achieved by the opponent slashing a second time at a speed that he could not see clearly, or rather, could not see at all, after cutting off Muramasa, he can no longer deceive himself.

That's right.

In Saijo's attack, Sano did unleash a second strike.

Instead, at the same time as cutting off Muramasa, he also severed Saijo's head from half a meter away.

Sword energy.

This could only be the legendary sword energy!

Conan glanced at Yuji Suwa. Although he couldn't see Suwa's face through the mask, he understood Suwa's feelings from the low exclamation he had just heard... After all, he felt much the same way.

However, there is the theory of sword energy.

Conan finds it hard to agree.

The previous idea about "mind's eye" was already absurd enough, but Conan wasn't entirely unable to accept it based on intuition. As for sword energy...

That would be very unscientific.

impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

It must be some kind of cutting-edge technology!

"That guy, he took a bow?"

Maya's doubts brought everyone back to their senses.

Looking up, I saw Kurosawa, who had already sheathed his sword at his waist, hook his foot and picked up a bow from next to a corpse. As he caught it, he hooked his foot again and stood the quiver upright on the ground.

...The number of Yoshitsune-ryu disciples remaining is less than a quarter of the original number.

Besides those who fled immediately after Saijo's death, there were also about ten Yoshitsune-ryu disciples who were further away because they were using bows and arrows.

It might still be possible to catch up, since Sano's basic attack can be used for ranged attacks.

But if these guys get separated later, that would be too troublesome.

On his right thumb, the thin, black, round ring had transformed back into an archery thumb ring.

After casually picking up three arrows, Sano drew his longbow.

"call out!"

Three arrows pierced the air and struck the back of the heads of three Yoshitsune-ryu disciples who were facing away from Sano, killing them instantly. However, their bodies had not yet fallen.
