Chapter 143 The Outer Path of Corruption!
"So, you're saying you come from another world? You could be considered beings from a parallel universe?"

Shiba Takeru still held the hot coffee that Grandpa Koei Jiro had just brewed steadily in her hand.

Even though he had lived for so many years and seen many rare things in the world, his usually calm face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise when he heard the news, to the point that he couldn't believe it.

parallel world?

Each of these four characters is recognizable individually, but the meaning when combined is quite difficult to accept; this combination of four characters is simply too niche.

Oh no.

They must possess the ability to freely travel between parallel worlds; such people are extremely rare.

And the biggest problem is whether these parallel worlds can really be traveled through at will? Logically speaking, every universe has a barrier to prevent attraction between two universes, which would lead to chaos or destruction.

Mei Shengyuan brought the still-steaming coffee to his lips, took a gentle sniff, and smelled the unique aroma of high-quality coffee. He then took a small sip, and the smooth, silky, and lingering taste exploded on his taste buds and in his mouth. A look of pure joy spread across his face.
"Mmm... these coffee beans are top-notch... the taste is amazing."

After finishing speaking, he quickly composed himself, gently placed the coffee on the table, and then Mei Shengyuan's gaze fell on Kadoya Tsukasa. "Was what that old man said true or false? The Destroyer of the World - Decade! A Demon?"

"demon?"

Upon hearing the word "devil," Yusuke Onodera, who had been quietly drinking his coffee, couldn't help but spit out the coffee he had just drunk with a "pfft."

Upon hearing this word, Yusuke Onodera immediately recalled the scene of his first meeting with Tsukasa Kadoya.

At that time, he had just obtained the Agul Belt and was qualified to become Kamen Rider Kuuga.

It was around that time that he met Narutaki, who instilled in him the idea that Kamen Rider Decade was a demon who would destroy the world.

However, after traveling through so many worlds with Shi, he now clearly understands Shi's character. Although he is usually a bit sharp-tongued and arrogant, he is truly capable when it comes to matters.

“Shicai is not some kind of demon, this must be a rumor.” Onodera Yusuke looked at Mei Shengyuan anxiously.

Seeing how protective Onodera was of him, Tsukasa Kadoya, who was drinking coffee nearby, couldn't help but smile like a loving father.

Onodera!
Good lad! I knew I hadn't misjudged him. He truly is someone I've mentored all along, and a true friend.

If there are any compliments, please say more; I love to hear them.

Looking at Tsukasa Kadoya, who was enjoying himself immensely, Rin Higashino held his coffee cup with both hands, feeling the warmth of the cup, and muttered to himself, "Why do I have a feeling that things won't go this smoothly?"

“This guy, Shi, although he’s a bit arrogant, doesn’t pay his rent much, and always likes to get something for nothing,” Onodera Yusuke exclaimed, “those are all minor flaws. He’s been doing his best to help people in other worlds, am I right, Shi?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yusuke Onodera immediately turned his sincere gaze to Tsukasa Kadoya.

That gaze was like that of a college student, so pure and lovely.

Upon hearing Onodera's words, Higashino Rin, who had just thought Onodera was about to shower him with compliments, grinned from ear to ear. However, he managed to suppress his laughter and nudged the sullen-faced Kadoya Tsukasa with his elbow, saying, "Tsukasa, you're not coming down yet."

"Onodera!!! You...you bastard...if you can't speak, then don't speak!"

Tsukasa Kadoya's lips twitched. Good grief... is this a compliment or an insult? Is this something you can say out loud? Something you can bring to the table? It seems my reputation is ruined.
Mei Shengyuan scratched his head awkwardly, then smiled at Shiba Takeru beside him, "Speaking of which, he doesn't seem like some kind of world-destroying demon, does he?"

Shiba Takeru's gaze fell on Kadoya Tsukasa, whose face showed dissatisfaction. "That's true, but whether he is a demon who will destroy the world or not, we'll only know when we see the results."

"Of course, Your Highness. I am the most loving Kamen Rider."

Upon hearing this, Tsukasa Kadoya immediately looked up excitedly and met Takeru Shiba's gaze. As their eyes met, it seemed as if sparks could fly between them.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Xia Hai could only helplessly rub his forehead.

Okay, Shi is getting serious again.

"Alright, let's leave the topic here. Our main goal now is to figure out how to find the heretics after entering the Sanzu River."

Seeing that everyone had been talking about Tsukasa Kadoya for too long, Rin Higashino quickly interrupted the two of them. After all, there was still a primary task to be solved. After speaking, his gaze fell on the six Shinken users, "Have you mastered Inromaru yet?"

"Inron Maru?"

Ryūnosuke Ikenami looked bewildered. "What's that?"

do not know?
Seeing the reactions of the six people, Higashino Rin frowned and then looked at Shiba Takeru.

After sensing the gaze from Higashino Rin, Shiba Takeru pondered for a moment, a puzzled look on her face, "How did you guys know about this?"

Inro-maru is said to be a super disc wheel created by the first Shinkensaku based on a certain idea, used to enhance Shinkensaku. This disc wheel seems to be based on the concept of combining all the power of the Origami into one to form a more powerful force by the Shinkensaku of all generations. Unfortunately, the technology at that time was not perfect, and only a semi-finished product was created.

Shiba Takeru had only heard about the Inro-maru from Grandpa Hikoma since he was a child.

The old man had not mentioned any information about Inro Maru to the other retainers.

Moreover, these people in front of us are travelers from other worlds; why would they know these things?

In an instant, Shiba Takeru's heart was filled with doubt.

Facing Shiba Takeru's questioning gaze, Higashino Rin smiled politely, "I know some things that you True Swordsmen don't know."

"This matter is not important."

unimportant?
Shiba Takeru was slightly taken aback.

That was a trump card created by generations of true swordsmen with painstaking effort to strengthen them in dealing with heretics. But that's not important.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Ryunosuke Ikenami, though slow to catch on, finally understood the gist of it and quickly exclaimed, "Your Highness, does such a thing really exist?"

Shiba Takeru nodded, then sighed softly, "It's just that the Inro-maru is not perfect, and with our current strength we can handle the Outer Paths, so I haven't talked about it much."

“In that case,” Higashino Rin looked at Shiba Joru and her group, “you guys should wait here. Xiaoming and I will handle the Sanzu River matter.”

Ryunosuke Ikenami: "Huh? Are you looking down on us? We are the True Swordsmen of the Samurai Warriors, the Undisputed Warriors of the Realm!"

“Ryunosuke.” Shiba Joru looked at Ikenami Ryunosuke.

"Your Highness, don't they look down on us True Swordsmen? I didn't mean to."

Ryunosuke Ikenami shouted loudly, but after seeing the increasingly dangerous look in Takeru Shiba's eyes, his voice gradually faded until it disappeared.

“The Sanzu River is, after all, the stronghold of the heretics. For your safety, I hope you can understand,” Higashino said.

In terms of strength, the True Swordsman is quite powerful.

But that was, after all, the enemy's main base, and besides, Higashino Rin didn't know what would happen if a living person entered the Sanzu River.

Will they fall into the same category as the Ten Viscera and become half-heretics, or will they become something else?
Higashino Rin didn't want to create unnecessary trouble.

After all, the scene of Shiba Joru fighting nine opponents in her dark state was quite shocking, even though Super Shinken Red wasn't around at that time.

"I understand," Shiba Joru said helplessly. After all, going to the Sanzu River was within their capabilities, and he couldn't force them to do anything. "Be careful."

"Ahhh~ Ahhh~" Tsukasa Kadoya chuckled, "Trust in our strength."

"Brother Lin, what about me?" Yusuke Onodera pointed to himself. If that's the case, then he won't be able to do anything.
"You?" Tsukasa Kadoya glanced at Onodera. "Just stay here and eat and drink well. We'll be back soon."

Yusuke Onodera: "Huh???"

"Let's go." Higashino Rin looked at Kadoya Tsukasa, then summoned the Aurora Veil.

Watching the two disappear, Shiba Joru looked at Onodera Yusuke and said, "Then let's go too."

Before Shiba Takeru could finish speaking, the Shodo phone in her arms suddenly rang.

Taking out his phone and looking at what was displayed, Shiba Takeru asked in confusion, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"My lord, heretics have appeared. How many? How many?"

"More than ten thousand heretics!"

"What?!" Shiba Takeru exclaimed, her right hand, which was holding the calligraphy phone, trembled involuntarily.

"I'll come over now."

Putting away his calligraphy phone, Shiba Joru looked at Ikenami Ryunosuke.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Ikenami Ryūnosuke asked anxiously. He had never seen His Highness so nervous before.

This matter is definitely not simple.

"Anomalies have appeared, numbering over ten thousand!"

"what?!"

Several true swordsmen, including Shiraishi Mako, showed expressions of astonishment.

More than 10,000 heretics?

You must be joking.

Are heretics preparing to collectively invade the human world?
"The situation is urgent, let's go first," said Shiba Takeru. Now is not the time to dawdle.

“I’ll go with you.” Yusuke Onodera looked at Joru Shiba with a serious expression.

Looking at Yusuke Onodera, Takeru Shiba nodded.

Stepping out of the photo studio, Shiba Takeru took out his calligraphy phone and used the power of words to conjure two red horses.

"It appeared?" Yusuke Onodera opened his mouth.

Even Brother Lin doesn't seem capable of doing that, does he?

It's amazing that it can directly create vibrant life.

After leaving the Sanzu River, Bone no Shita went to the place where the seal of the fat eye was sealed.

Purple energy rose into the sky like mist, turning the entire sky purple.

The short figure of Bone Death stood before a group of Nameless People whose body color was different from that of the usual Nameless People.

Thin-skinned Tayu stood beside Bone no Shita, gently stroking the shamisen in his hand.

The melancholy notes of the zither resonated in the air.

"Long time no see, Bone of Death..."

A deep and powerful voice rang out from among the nameless hordes of decay standing before Bone Death Tai Li.

A group of nameless, corrupt people flowed to both sides, creating a path. A heretic, whose appearance was a combination of a cloth bag monk and a flat octopus, slowly walked out.

“Yes,” Bones Shita looked at the fat-eyed man, “it has been three hundred years since you were sealed by the first Shinken Red.”

“However…” Zhi Mu’s gaze fell on Gu Zhi Si Tai Li, “how did you know about my sealed land?”

"Furthermore, why was the seal broken?"

Bone Death Tai Li smiled and said, "More than ten years ago, Tong Ku fought against the Zhi Ye clan and wiped them out."

Holding a halberd, his eyes gleaming, he slammed it into the ground, causing the rubble to ripple. "The True Sword is gone?!"

"asshole!!"

"After finally breaking through the seal, that guy even lost his descendants..."

“No, no, no…” Bone Death Tai Li shook his head, “He still has a descendant alive in this world. Although the Crying Cry wiped out the Zhiye clan, he did not expect that the Zhiye clan had already preserved a bloodline.”

With a lecherous look in his eyes, he stared at Bone Death Tai Li, "So, you want to use my power to destroy the True Swordsmen?"

"What about weeping?"

"What is that guy doing?!"

As the leader of the Outer Daoist sect, Zhimu Manfu was in a similar position to Xueji Tongku in terms of status.

In addition, he also had ideas about leading non-Buddhist groups.

"Summer has arrived, and the Sanzu River is rising, so the Lamentation is naturally gathering strength," Bones no Shita chuckled.

"Hmph!" Zhi Mu sneered, "That guy really knows how to..."

"Should we refuse?" asked Bone Death Tai Li.

"Refuse?" Zhi Mu sneered, his right hand stroking the spot on his left shoulder where the first Shinken Kurenai had stabbed him. "I'm going to torture Shinken Kurenai's descendant properly."

Bone Death Tai Li smiled, "Then I wish you success, let's go... Tai Fu."

Watching the two leave, Zhi Mu let out a cold snort.

Using someone else to do the dirty work...heh...

"General, should we really help them?" The leech-like creature asked in a somber voice.

"Hehe... I've longed for that position of general among the heretics for a long time."

"It's a good opportunity to use those True Swordsmen to exercise my body, which hasn't moved in three hundred years. Besides... eliminating the True Swordsmen will also give me more reputation among the heretics."

"I see. You truly deserve to be called a great general."

"Your subordinate would like to offer my congratulations to the General."

"Hahaha!" Zhi Mu burst into laughter.

"Then... let our iron cavalry fill the world with mournful cries, venting the resentment that has been sealed for three hundred years."

"Decade, this world is your end!"

Looking down at the densely packed crowd of corrupted cultivators, Narutaki's lips curled into a slight smile.

Of course, that was not his purpose.

But...

Narutaki glanced at the multi-mouthed monster beside him; in the sunlight, his glasses reflected a sliver of white light.

……

Sanzu River
"Is this really the Sanzu River? This place is too..."

Tsukasa Kadoya frowned as he stepped onto the blood-red sand.

The whole world seemed to be shrouded in a blood-red fog, and everything turned scarlet and eerie.

The beach beneath my feet was blood-red, as if it had been soaked in blood. Along the riverbank, the blood-red water pounded against the sand, each pounding carrying in some sand and swallowing it up.

The sky was blood-red, as if countless drops of blood were flowing through it.

This place exudes an eeriness at all times.

"In legends, it's considered the dividing line between the 'living' and the 'dead,' so this is normal. If it were like the outside world, that would be abnormal." Higashino Rindo said, stepping on the sand beneath his feet.

“That’s true.” Tsukasa Kadoya nodded.

"When something that was abnormal suddenly becomes normal, that's what's abnormal."

"But how are we supposed to find it in such a big place?"

"You'll know once you experience it," Higashino Rin said with a smile. "When Brother Xiaoming was fighting that multi-mouthed monster, I also held back a few tricks."

"It's also a way of trying out something I've recently learned."

Tsukasa Kadoya was stunned. So, he was being used as a guinea pig?
Thinking of this, Tsukasa Kadoya's resentful gaze fell on Rin Higashino.

Seeing Tsukasa Kadoya's resentful look, Rin Higashino coughed lightly.

"here we go"
