The power of this sword seemed to penetrate the light curtain and chop down head-on. The overwhelming golden light forced Guo Haihuang to take a step back.

"Huh, this blow...isn't it beyond the capability of a human to bear?"

After taking a long breath, Miyamoto Musashi realized that he was sweating profusely.

"Yujiro, didn't you say Xi'er was very strong? Want to take a few of her blows?" Miyamoto Musashi pointed at the God in the sky and laughed loudly. "How does this sword compare? Can you catch it?"

"Ah……"

Yujiro, who was usually so arrogant, unexpectedly did not refute. He just lowered his head to look at the cup in his hand, sneered, and raised his head to take a big gulp of wine.

Everyone knew clearly in their hearts: even if Yujiro was the strongest human, he would not be able to withstand the blow from the "non-human" god in heaven.

Not just him, even if all the powerful men in Japan, no… the entire world combined, they would definitely not be able to stop him. No matter how strong a mortal is, they cannot escape the limits of flesh and blood. Even if they train this body to the extreme… they are still just mortals.

How can mortals compare with gods?

To put it more clearly, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big.

"Star gods all have their own messengers. So, if that's the case, are these seven generals the messengers of the patrolling star gods?" King Liehai suddenly asked.

Judging from the existing forces in the light curtain, the only real person of the level of a commander is Ms. Black Tower - but unfortunately, the commander herself is not in the space station, and the puppets under her command probably cannot reach the level of a commander.

After all, it seems that no one has ever seen a figure of the "Envoy" level take action.

"That's a possibility," Guo Haihuang reconsidered. "The marshals and six generals commanding the six immortal ships are collectively known as the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow... It's very likely that they are all envoys. If we were lucky enough to witness General Jingyuan of Luofu take action..."

Before Guo Haihuang finished speaking, expectant eyes appeared on everyone's faces.

In Beloberg, Xier and Jeppard's skills are enough to surprise all the masters. The strong ones at the "Envoy" level... Even just thinking about it makes King Lie Hai excited.

"But from behind the curtain came the general's chuckle: 'What good is a thorough plan if the entire army isn't united?'"

His voice was very nice, and when transmitted through the light curtain, it had a charm that penetrated and touched the heartstrings.

Shinobu Kocho slowly raised her head.

She should have had a thousand thoughts in her mind, but her most immediate feeling at that moment was: so handsome.

She was discussing General Luofu with several other officials, imagining that a man who could command an entire ship must be a burly and aggressive general. However, he was completely different from what everyone imagined.

Although it was just a monotonous paper-cut picture, one could see that he was wearing a long robe, silver armor and black boots. Although he was leaning lazily on a lion, one could still see that he had a straight waist, broad shoulders and long legs, and was very elegant.

His white hair obscured half of his face, including his eyebrows and eyes. Even so, the graceful lines of his nose, the gentle smile on his thin lips, and the demeanor of a man who was in control of his plans and tactics, instilled a deep affection in one's heart.

Is this really a general? An envoy?

Shinobu Kocho felt a little confused.

"A piece fell, and with a 'pop' sound, the single 'king' moved forward one square, forming a pincer attack with the other pieces on the board."

"I will definitely live up to your trust, my fellow Cloud Riders!"

"Hmm, this move...as expected." Guo Haihuang lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying confidently, "This game has the same structure and rules as Xiangqi, so the gameplay should be similar as well."

"Oh? Is there any legend behind this chess game?" Miyamoto Musashi was very curious.

"This is the general advancing five steps forward. In chess, it symbolizes the emperor personally leading the army," Guo Haihuang said. "This move reveals the general's attitude toward his soldiers. He is definitely not someone who hides behind his soldiers, manipulating their lives at will. He will fight shoulder to shoulder with them on the front lines."

"As a strategist, you personally go to the front lines to fight?"

Miyamoto Musashi was a little bit unbelievable. He was born in the Japanese Warring States Period and had served countless daimyo who coveted him. But in his impression, those in high positions would never risk their lives and go to the scene in person. Even the general would make arrangements from a safe place.

"This is simply crazy... Isn't he afraid of death?" Miyamoto Musashi laughed. He didn't expect that this general looked steady, but was actually extremely arrogant.

"Perhaps he is confident enough that the enemy can do nothing to him." Guo Haihuang reminded, "He is most likely a Commander, and Commanders often receive gifts from Star Gods."

"The scene shifted, and countless soldiers, armed with battle swords, shouted in unison: "The Immortal Boat soars, the Cloud Riders always triumph!"

"The immortal boat soars, the cloud riders always triumph!"

“…”

"This military appearance is truly magnificent." Cocytus exclaimed in admiration.

Although the Supreme Lord can use the magic of the undead to create a similarly organized army of skeletons, it is magic after all. All the skeletons have no individual thoughts and will only obey a single order.

Anyone who has commanded an army knows how difficult it is to keep it uniform and moving in unison.

In Cocytus's opinion, regardless of other military abilities... at least in terms of commanding the army, this General Xianzhou is several times stronger than him.

Cocytus unconsciously felt a hint of joy - as expected, his suggestion to the Supreme Lord was correct. There were indeed things worth learning from the light curtain. As long as they learned and borrowed from them reasonably, the strength of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick would be further improved!

But at this moment, the light curtain suddenly dimmed.

After watching the PV of the Seven Generals of the Imperial Bow, Chen Yue clicked on another one with great interest.

Animated short film - Flying Light! Start!

Chapter 77 "Animated Short: Flying Light"

"The wind howled, and the world was filled with murderous awe."

"This place is filled with ruins, desolate and dilapidated. Only a white-haired woman, holding a longsword, stands alone atop the rubble."

"She is brighter than the moon, yet also more desolate."

"Under the cold light reflected by the solid ice, there lay a very young face, a face that could captivate a nation. But the radiance in her eyes was no longer youthful, but reflected a dead silence."

"Perhaps her eyes are already dead, staring blankly at the man slowly approaching her, sword in hand, among the countless frozen Cloud Knights not far away."

"Oh! Isn't this the general from Luofu?" Xu Tark recognized him at a glance.

"It seems that this time the light curtain wants to show just how powerful General Jing Yuan is." Xiu Tark showed an expectant expression. "Hehe... He's a powerful general at the level of a general. If he starts fighting, who can stop him?"

"Xiutark, don't just watch, learn more about their close combat skills." Fulilian reminded.

At first, she wanted to remind Hugh Tucker to learn more of Seele's close combat moves, perhaps they would be useful against powerful monsters in the future. But every time Seele appeared, the boy couldn't help but glance at her long white legs... This often made Philen angry, and finally she simply stopped him from looking at Seele when she appeared.

There can't be any mistakes this time, right?

"Under the red aurora, the woman stood expressionlessly on a high place, looking down at Jing Yuan from above."

Jing Yuan raised his head slightly, looking at the face that hadn't changed in a thousand years, and a flash of memories flooded his mind.

"once……"

"There was still light in her eyes, those bright, lively eyes, serious yet smiling at the same time."

"By this oath, we, the Cloud Riders, will guard the immortal ship like a cloud covering the sky! Draw your swords!"

"The woman stood in the hall, before many cloud riders, and drew the sword from her waist."

"And the child in front of her was actually... Jing Yuan as a child."

“Yes! Master!”

"Little Jing Yuan's momentum remained undiminished as he drew his sword, but as the sword's light shone, the light dissipated... The scene from his childhood seemed to merge with the present him, and he slowly raised the formation knife in his hand."

"We, the Cloud Riders, are like clouds covering the sky, protecting the immortal boat!"

"He once drew his sword to follow his master. Now he wields his knife to kill his master."

"He raised his blade, and the woman tapped her foot. In an instant, he heard a sharp, piercing sound, like the cry of a crane in the clear sky, like a feather thorn, piercing the air."

"Faster than sound, it's her sword!"

"How fast!" Cocytus wanted to shout when the woman moved slightly. But the thought only flashed through his mind before he saw the woman had already rushed to Jing Yuan's side.

The flying figure was like lightning, incredibly turning forward. Behind her was a glow... like the dress of the Moon Goddess, so all over the sky and the ground, shining like shooting stars!

"Could she be the messenger?" Demiurge gently adjusted the frame of his glasses on his nose. A rare look of surprise and confusion appeared on his face. "This speed..."

"Shalltear, haven't you sparred with the Kingdom's swordsmen?" Demiurge asked. "How do you think you compare?"

After his reminder, Shalltear barely remembered that there seemed to be such a person in the kingdom. When she attacked the bandit mercenary group, a swordsman named Brian rushed out. She had praised his manicure at the time, but compared to this woman...

A world of difference... no, that might be an exaggeration, but Shalltear couldn't think of a more appropriate adjective.

"Hehe." Shalltear forced a bitter smile. "I think she can kill me with one sword."

"Even in fully armed form?" Demiurge couldn't imagine the scene of Shalltear being killed instantly. After all, the Supreme Lord had spent a lot of effort to successfully defeat Shalltear.

Now that she admits that she will be killed instantly, doesn't that indirectly mean she is stronger than Lord Ainz?

Demiurge felt a surge of discontent at this thought, and raised his voice a few notches. "Don't you have a dropper spear? As long as you can hurt her, you can continuously restore your strength, right?"

"That's true, but the premise is... I can hurt her."

After saying this, Shalltear's skin, which was already as white as wax, seemed to become even paler.

At this moment, on the other side of the Demon Slayer world.

Several of the pillars were already standing there in astonishment, their mouths hanging open, but their eyes fixed on the fight between the woman and Jing Yuan.

...It's completely one-sided suppression.

In their opinion, Jing Yuan, holding the formation knife, was already quite powerful. Although he had no time to organize an offensive, but... being able to avoid being killed in one blow at such a speed was itself a symbol of strength!

"Xingming... Can you see clearly the moves of both of them?" Xiao Banei asked the Rock Pillar, who was recognized as the strongest.

"No, I can't... I can't see clearly and I can't remember."

Although he was blind, the scene on the light screen was directly projected into Rock Pillar's mind. He did not ask for too much, but just tried to barely remember a few moves of the woman... but it was still too fast!

Among all the breathing methods, Thunder Breathing is known for its "super speed". The body movements brought by the first form are as fast as lightning. Its principle is to compress the muscles through breathing methods to form a short burst of power.

However, all the Lightning Pillars of all generations knew that the One Form could not be used for a long time and at a high frequency. The reason was the limit of human beings - muscles would get tired, and this was an iron rule that no one could overcome.

But this woman...

Every time she swung her sword, it was faster than the Ichi-no-Kata of Thunder Breathing. Moreover, her speed was even getting faster and faster, and the murderous intent in her eyes was getting stronger and stronger, as if she would never get tired.

"Under that torrential onslaught, Jing Yuan found it increasingly difficult to withstand it and appeared quite embarrassed."

"With Jing Yuan's roar, his time seemed to have returned to the twilight of the past."

“Hold tight!”

"Facing the sweat-drenched little Jing Yuan, who had been swinging his sword all day, the woman simply urged him sternly, "As a Cloud Rider, you can't let your weapons drop and your body become unfocused!"

“Yes, Master!”

"But back to the present... Jing Yuan's sword was as swift as the wind, but what met him was the sword tip of a woman who lightly touched the ground with her toes and then leaped up again."

"The cold air hits me like snow in the first month of the year."

"And this sword flashed like light, pointing directly at Jing Yuan's face."

Hugh Turk trembled as he watched.

"Aren't they master and apprentice? Why are they so deadly?" Xiutark said with a tearful expression. "Also... how am I supposed to learn how to fight the way they do?!"

Chapter 78 "Animated Short: Flying Light O2"

"Hey, were you...excited just now?"

In the present world, inside Urahara's shop.

Urahara Kisuke leaned forward, his eyes fixed on the tanned young woman on the sofa. "I haven't seen you this excited in a while... The last time I saw Seele, you didn't have this expression."

"Of course, because Xi'er's body movements are more immature... She is a natural talent, more talented than I was when I was young."

"Oh? What about this one?" Kisuke Urahara pointed at the white-haired woman in the light curtain with his ramen chopsticks.

"She..."

Shihouin Yoruichi sat down across from him, thought for a few seconds, and then folded her arms across her chest. "...I'm not sure. When she was fighting Jing Yuan, the movements she used were very similar to Shunpo, but there were subtle differences. Hmm... how should I put it? More like an instinctive reaction?"

Ye Yi's eyes narrowed like a cat's. "If it's instinct... then this woman must have experienced a lot of fighting. Without going through countless life and death battles, she wouldn't have developed such reaction speed."

"It's really rare to be praised by 'Shunshin Yoruichi'."

Urahara Kisuke leaned back on the sofa, lazily crossing his legs. He still had a cynical smile on his face, but his hat brim concealed a look of concern.

"Are you worried?" he asked. "To be distracted during such an exciting battle? That's not like you."

"Well, I'm just a little curious."

Shifengyuan Yoruichi showed an expression of confusion and regret: "Jingyuan is her disciple, and she is the master. Judging from the current battle situation, she has trained this disciple very well... I just don't understand why she would spare no effort to kill such an excellent disciple?"

"Besides, his disciples have all become generals, making them the pillars of the Immortal Ship. According to modern parlance, these are considered... 'outstanding graduates,' right?"

"I'm not sure about that." Urahara Kisuke shrugged. "Looking at her murderous expression, I guess she's been controlled by something. Looking at her eyes when she was young... well, they were quite pure."
