The Warrior of Love

But this is not the end yet. The white horse pulls the chariot towards the earth at a high speed, with scorching flames covering its whole body, and it hits the ground like a meteor!

bang——

The exploding flames swept across all directions, turning the underworld into purgatory.

The astonishing fluctuations of the cursed power shook the entire realm and also awakened the other "residents" who were living in seclusion here. Countless eyes were cast on Jiang Liu in secret, with all kinds of complex and unintelligible meanings.

Jiang Liu naturally sensed these prying eyes. Although he was fearless, he felt unhappy about it. He snorted coldly and released a domineering aura that could distort the atmosphere.

hum!

The domineering aura that had almost condensed into substance was like an invisible arrow that traced back these gazes, causing the peepers at the end to feel a palpitation in their hearts, and then they all restrained themselves and turned to observe Susanoo's situation.

In the purgatory filled with flames, a burly man with red skin, who looked as if he was drunk, was standing in the middle, raising a huge wine jug in one hand and pouring wine into his mouth, with an extremely exaggerated posture of drinking.

In his right hand, he held a pure white sword, which was similar in style to the ancient Chinese sword like the "Ame-no-Murakumo" he had seen before, but the color was completely opposite.

"Gu...Woohoo!"

Wiping the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, Susanoo, whose temperament and appearance had changed greatly, grinned.

"Sure enough, the wine on the battlefield is still the best!"

His condition wasn't actually that good, as the previous attack had left many burns on his body, but he didn't seem to care much.

"This sword of mine is about ten fists long, and it's called 'Tianyuyu Zhan'!"

Chapter 740: The Speed ​​of Flowing Light

According to legend, there was a giant snake with eight heads and eight tails in the country of Izumo. Its body was as big as a mountain, so much so that its back was covered with trees and moss. Every time it moved, smelly pus and blood would flow out of its abdomen, polluting the earth and rivers.

The male god Susanoo, also known as Susanoo, who was driven out of Takama-ga-hara by the goddess Amaterasu, designed to make the Yamata-no-Orochi drink the divine wine to make it drunk, and then killed the giant snake that was causing trouble in its sleep.

The "Sky Cloud Sword" was found from the snake's tail.

The weapon he used to kill the Yamata no Orochi was the divine sword given by his father god Izanami, called the Totsuka Sword, also known as Ame-no-Habezan.

However, it is worth mentioning that this magic sword actually has no name.

In Japanese mythology, it is the first sword in the world. It was used by Izanami to cut off the head of the fire god Kagutsuchi, and was then given to Susanoo.

The name "Ten Fists" comes from its appearance - the blade is about ten fists long. This is actually a general term for a type of sword, just like a double-edged sword or a one-handed sword.

Including Ame no Murasaki and Butsu Mikami, they can all be said to be Ten-fisted Swords.

"Heavenly Snake Slash" is the name given after killing the Yamata no Orochi, because in ancient Japanese the great snake was called "Yu Yu", which translates to "Heavenly Snake Slash".

Both names are derived from later myths and anecdotes and cannot be considered real names.

But if we must give this divine sword a name, it should be "Ame-no-Ohabari" - this is the godhood that was born from this sword.

From the blood of the God of Fire that stained the divine sword Ame-no-Ohabari, eight gods related to thunder, fire, and steel - that is, the sword forging process - were derived, including the famous Takemikami Raijin.

It can be said that in terms of popularity, Ama no Murasaki is more famous in later generations, but in terms of mythological inheritance, Ama no Ohazan is undoubtedly the best sword!

This sword and the Cloud of Ten-no-Kume are both symbols of "steel". One is forged with the blood of the God of Fire, and the other is born from the skeletons of dragons and snakes. They are two kinds of "steel" with different sources but the same destination!

Susanoo, who possesses these two divine swords at the same time, is naturally also a superior steel hero god!

"It's a pity that you only have one sword now."

"That's enough!"

Susanoo's eyes were filled with madness, and his previous image of an old gentleman had been completely subverted. He was emitting fierce and violent fluctuations of cursed energy unscrupulously.

hum!

The pure white Tianyu Yuzhan swept along the ground, and a sword pressure tore through the earth and rushed towards Jiang Liu.

The black-haired man's eyes focused, and he drew out an ominous demon sword from the dark void with his backhand. He swung it down, releasing an equal or even stronger sword pressure to offset it.

"call……"

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Liu accumulated the cursed power and poured it all into the Undead Slash. Suddenly, a dark magic light leaped up like a flame. When he swung it with all his strength, it was as if he could shatter the sky. The magic light that obscured his vision dispersed the aftermath of the previous attack and swallowed up Susanoo with unstoppable force!

However, at this moment a thunderous roar sounded!

Rumble-

A huge force of thunder fell from the sky, as if hundreds of silver snakes were dancing together, fiercely counteracting the magic light.

Among the many lightning bolts, there was a special one. It seemed as if it was destined to be born, and it seemed as if its speed was too fast so it was not bound. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the constraints of lightning, thunder and waves of cursed power, and transformed into a blade of light that transcended the barriers of space.

In a moment, the extremely sharp aura had reached Jiang Liu, and his skin could even feel a tingling sensation.

However, at this moment, a dazzling flash of lightning also appeared on Jiang Liu's body -

"Zheng!"

The blazing white thunder dissipated in the void, Jiang Liu disappeared on the spot, and Susanoo's sword failed to touch him at all.

But this war god did not give up. The lightning drew an arc that violated the laws of physics and fell towards an uninhabited place. Almost at the same time, the blazing white flash condensed into the shape of a river.

Clang!

The Undying Slash and the Sky Feather Slash, two swords, one black and one white, collided with each other, stirring up a storm that stirred the clouds in the sky, and the burst of lightning ravaged the mountains and forests again.

"Ah!"

"Hahaha!"

Both of them laughed, and as the cursed power surged, they simultaneously used their divine power and disappeared into the thunder and lightning.

——So fast!

At this moment, both of them have reached a realm beyond common sense. In this world of flowing light that cannot be observed with the naked eye or captured with any sensory ability, the sharp blades of black and white collide again and again.

Only the lightning released when the metal clashed could reveal the traces they left behind.

Susanoo is a god with extremely complex attributes. He is both the god of the sea and the god of storms. With the Ame-no-Habakiri, he can also control thunder, which is the power of the ancient "steel".

Jiang Liu usurped the power from Lancelot and could transform himself into lightning without being bound by any rules.

The so-called "super speed" is not a specific value, but a relative concept, meaning a speed that is absolutely superior to that of the opponent.

Although concepts such as "light", "thunder" and "wind" are borrowed, it is not actually the speed of light.

What would happen if two "speedsters" met?

The answer is infinite paradox and a life-and-death battle on the boundary line!

Jiang Liu and Susanoo continued to surpass each other in the realm of divine speed, and kept on launching unavoidable slashes. Each fight made them go deeper and deeper on the boundary line, while the outside world could not observe their existence, as if both of them had disappeared from the world.

One second!

Although it was only a second, Jiang Liu and Susanoo felt as if several hours had passed. The two had already fought with swords for hundreds of rounds!

A second later, when the two returned to this world, hundreds of lightning flowers bloomed on the earth, bringing the baptism of lightning to the battlefield that had been ravaged in every way.

"what!"

Standing firmly on his feet, Susanoo, whose body was covered with small wounds, grinned and carried Ame-no-Habezan on his shoulders.

Jiang Liu also left the realm of super speed. The wounds on his body were not as dense as those on Susanoo's, but each wound was filled with a terrifying aura, which was the might of steel that could kill all dragons and snakes. It was also hindering the healing speed of the wounds.

But then a constellation pattern lit up behind him, and the life force hidden in Jiang Liu's body surged out, "erasing" all the wounds on the surface in just a moment!

It is the blessing of the Hydra constellation!

“Is it a draw?”

Susanoo looked at Jiang Liu who had returned to his original state, and a look of interest flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Liu said indifferently: "It's a tie in pure speed contest, but I won in sword skills."

"Hey, you little brat who won't suffer any loss."

Susanoo shook his head, apparently agreeing with Jiang Liu's opinion.

"But the facts are the facts. I never expected that you could display such exquisite swordsmanship at such a high speed. Even an old man like me who has been immersed in this art for thousands of years is not as good as you. It's incredible.

I have to admit that you win in this regard!"

Chapter 741: You can also use two swords?

The wounds on Susanoo's body were still bleeding, but he didn't care. Instead, he took out the wine gourd from his waist and drank from it in big gulps.

The wine splashed onto the ground and quickly evaporated into mist that rose into the air, as if pulling up a hazy gauze curtain.

Jiang Liu frowned slightly and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, but the mellow smell of alcohol still inevitably invaded his body. A feeling of trance came over his head, making Jiang Liu's consciousness blurred for a moment.

hum!

When the smell of alcohol met Jiang Liu's cursed power, it "burned" instantly, sweeping through every corner like a burning flame. His blood seemed to be boiling like magma, making his whole body turn "red". A feeling of swelling filled his limbs, and he had a pent-up anger that he had to get out.

But at this moment, his misty eyes suddenly focused, Jiang Liu focused his mind, and his scattered consciousness was re-condensed, turning into a sharp sword blade to cut through the alcohol barrier that surrounded his mind.

Zheng!

The sound of swords and spears rang in his ears, and Jiang Liu immediately regained his clarity of mind. His heart slowed down with a thought, and the burning blood gradually calmed down and no longer boiled.

The red color faded from Jiang Liu's skin at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon returned to its original appearance.

"What kind of wine is this?"

Jiang Liu looked at Susanoo who was still drinking. The Japanese main god had drunk so much of this strange liquor that his skin was now shaped like burning charcoal, more eye-catching than the red devil's. His skin was emitting infinite heat, and the distortion of the atmosphere made his figure look a little blurry.

I don’t know if it’s a visual error...his figure seems to be a little taller.

"Ok?"

Susanoo stopped drinking, wiped the wine with his hand, and burped in a very ungraceful manner.

"Huh...you mean this? It's wine, just ordinary alcohol, but a little stronger than the sake brewed by humans."

He shook the wine jug in his hand, and water came out of it. Although the sound was not loud, to Jiang Liu it sounded like a loud noise like a river bursting its banks.

“I love drinking the most, and people in this world seem to know this, and generally think that I am an alcoholic.

However, drinking alcohol is not something that deserves praise. Even a great hero with great achievements may lose his mind due to alcohol, and even a demon king as big as a mountain may have his head chopped off while drunk..."

Since ancient times, "wine" and "violence" have been inseparable.

In mythological epics, there are countless examples telling us how heroes, monsters, kings, and even gods were captured by wine and transformed into mad beasts.

Taking the Far East as an example, there are many similar legends. The most famous one is the "Shuten-doji" who was killed by Minamoto no Raikou because of drunkenness, and -

"The Yamata no Orochi was killed by me because he could not overcome his greed for wine."

After saying that, Susanoo looked at Jiang Liu meaningfully.

"But you don't seem to be attached to the taste of fine wine."

"What a coincidence, I have always had a physique that makes it difficult for me to get drunk." Jiang Liu smiled slightly.

Even the "wine" that can knock down the Yamata no Orochi is ineffective against Jiang Liu. In addition to his strong physique, the "Ashura o Laughing Iron Heart" among the six great protections is also a very important factor.

This blessing makes him almost immune to all mental abnormalities. Although "drunkenness" can hardly be called an abnormal state, the strong bonus to willpower makes him fearless of any trap.

"Haha, that's just right. I'm also the type that rarely gets drunk. Even though everyone calls me a drunkard, I won't get as groggy as those ghosts."

Susanoo held the Ame-no-Habezan in his right hand, and reached into the air with his left hand. A magic circle engraved with Shinto symbols flickered and lit up, and a dark rectangle stretched out from it... Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a sword hilt.

A pitch-black long sword of the same shape as Ame-no-Habakiri but with a completely different color was pulled out. It was the "Sword of Ame-no-Musakumo" that was originally in the hands of the miko Ena!

"For an old man, drinking only makes me more energetic! Hahaha!"

A high-temperature air wave swept across the battlefield. Although the scars on Susanoo's body remained, not a drop of blood had flowed.

However, that red skin is much more terrifying than being covered in blood!

With the black and white swords in his hands, Susanoo exuded a much more powerful aura than before, and even Jiang Liu was slightly moved.

"Going berserk?"

"After all, I am a guy who likes to make trouble!"

With force on his feet, Susanoo rushed forward with endless heat waves, using his two swords as axes and chopping down without any skill.

"Qiang!"

The Immortal Slash blocked the two swords, Jiang Liu's body sank slightly, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked into cracks.

So strong!
