Chapter 385: The Heroic Swordsman's Seventh Round Wins the Third
Who is Senko Muramasa?

A swordsmith from Kuwana, Ise Province, whose title during the Bunki era was Uemon-no-no-jo.

He is regarded as the first generation of a family of swordsmiths who were able to create the sharpest and most outstanding swords during the Warring States Period.

More importantly, there is a legend about the sword forged by the Muramasa clan - it is a demon sword that will harm the Tokugawa Shogunate.

The sword that killed Ieyasu's grandfather, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, the sword that wounded his father, Hirotada, the sword that killed his eldest son, Matsudaira Nobuyasu, and the sword that wounded Ieyasu himself...

It is said that the inscriptions on these swords are all [Muramasa].

It is both a famous sword and the evil sword that killed Tokugawa.

The terrifying Muramasa appears as a blood-stained demon sword in many kabuki and lectures.

Putting aside the history of [Muramasa], the skills of Sengo Muramasa, who is known as Muramasa, are so high that they can reach the level of [Divine Realm].

What is the [Divine Realm]? It is the realm of the gods, a skill that transcends the limits of human beings.

The clues can be seen just from the swords scattered throughout the thatched hut, and there is also the sword that killed Hozoin Inshun -

This forging skill is exactly what Li Ye needs.

Li Ye can use projection to project empty shell-like weapons, but they have no effect.

After all, the projection magic of the Heroic Spirit Emiya is actually a branch of the inherent barrier [Infinite Blade Works], which is not the same as the real projection.

How can a projection played by a decent person copy the history and all the values ​​of the Noble Phantasm?

This means that unless Li Ye manually adds magic, it will just be an empty shell.

But this sword of Sengo Muramasa made Li Ye see a different style.

Click click click.

Under the gazes of Musashi and Li Ye, the nameless sword in Sengoku Muramasa's hand broke into pieces until it turned into fragments on the ground.

"This knife is not something special, it's just a sample."

Chiko Muramasa let go of his hand and said with a hint of regret: "It's just that I didn't succeed in making it this time. It was scrapped after just one swing."

"Swordsmanship? But—"

Musashi, with a stern look on his face, whispered, "The sword was damaged after just one blow?!"

"It's so annoying. They made it like this on purpose. It's not a defective product."

Qianzi Muramasa curled his lips, and soon noticed the abnormality on the field, and said: "Compared to this kind of thing, look ahead, ahead! How come that guy is still alive and kicking?"

Following Sengo Muramasa's reminder, Musashi saw it.

The figure of the dead soul who should have died——

Hozoin Yinshun, whose upper body was cut off by Senko Muramasa's sword, stood up again, as if he was not injured at all!
"It's no use—"

Baozangyuan Yinshun, with an indifferent expression, whispered: "Our bodies are like bloodless and fleshless mechanical puppets. No matter how fierce the skills or the mysterious blades are, they cannot touch our soul cores."

"That's it."

Upon hearing this, Sengo Muramasa swung his sword again. Even if he killed Hozoin Inshun again, he could still return like lightning.

Seeing this scene, even Chiko Muramasa couldn't help but reveal a tricky expression: "What's wrong with this guy? It's extremely tricky."

"Don't worry, forger."

Hozoin Inshun stared at Senko Muramasa and said, “How can the blade you forged have any meaning, because the blade of man cannot stop us, because the power of man cannot stop us.

Before coming to this thatched hut, I had already massacred three villages!
Kill men, kill women, slaughter all living humans, men, women, young and old alike—"

The murderous intent contained in the words shocked Musashi.

It is simply impossible to understand why Hozoin Inshun would massacre civilians.

"Whether it's true or not, let's not talk about it."

Sengo Muramasa looked at Hozoin Inshun with disdain and said, "You are a monk, but you are quite crazy. Even the Ikko sect in troubled times would not attack civilians.

Or what? Is your monk's robe just a bad joke?"

“Hahahahahaha, this body has already turned into purgatory!”

Baozangyuan Yinshun laughed and said, "Without mercy for all living beings, all research on guns has disappeared. Every piece of flesh and every drop of blood has turned into the karma of [all kinds of killing]!

If you want to stop me, kill me! Crush me! Not a speck of dust will be left! Even if only an arm or a finger is left, I will take thousands of lives in an instant!"

"It's really hard to ask..."

Helpless about this, Senko Murasaki closed his eyes, as if he was worried about the trouble that was about to come.

Musashi faced Hozoin Yinshun directly, and said to Li Ye: "Please assist me. Although this is a duel without money or fame, I will not show mercy and will never stop."

"Come on, Musashi-kun."

Li Ye, who was clapping, smiled and said, “That’s how I support you.”

He can handle it. Even if he doesn't use Instant Death, he can still perform [Assassination] with Li Ye's current sword skills.

The next step is the fire bombardment released directly by magic power.

But compared to solving it quickly himself, Li Ye wanted to see the martial arts of Musashi or Hozoin Yinshun more.

Seeing Li Ye watching the show so comfortably, Musashi showed a helpless expression: "In fact, I wanted to live as easily as possible and avoid those overly troublesome duels as much as possible -

But I can't say that now. The opponent is not only extremely powerful, but also a monster that can survive even if his head is chopped off. He also wants to take our lives. So I can only give up and fight. Since the existence that is willing to fight at the cost of his life is blocking me like a barrier, I can only do my best to cut off this endless sin——!"

The terrifying sword intent burst out from Musashi, instantly causing the surrounding swords to resonate.

And at this moment, Musashi also saw the existence of the demon sword.

It is a magic sword that is extremely suitable for now and can cut off this sin!

Without thinking, Musashi grabbed the handle of the knife and shouted, "Grandpa, lend me this knife!"

The sword was unsheathed, and the cold sword light looked like a bright crescent moon in the dark night.

What followed was waves of stabbing pain, and the spiritual energy flowing from the hilt made Musashi feel pain.

This also made Musashi marvel at the power of this sword.

Definitely not an ordinary thing!

But it was this action that made Chiko Muramasa lose his composure, and he quickly said, "No, wait, no, no, no, this is a failure! I am saying this entirely for your own good, but don't use this knife!"

Although this sword can easily cut through rocks, armor, and even diamonds, it is not something that humans can use at all. It is a real great item! It has reached the realm of the devil.

It's a knife that is so twisted that you can't throw it away even if you want to!"

"Hey, that's it."

Musashi looked carefree and said with a smile: "That's perfect. My opponent is a monster, and I am just a mortal. If I can't overcome some of my own impulsive behavior, how can I win?"

"Ha - no matter what kind of weapon it is, it's meaningless!"

Hozoin Inshun laughed loudly: "There is no sword that can cut off the swordsmanship of our heroic spirits! Come and try if you dare, Musashi, and that man!

Since you are the primary threat to our master, can you show enough strength to challenge us, the Heroic Sword Master?"

The appearance of Hozoin Inshun was not groundless. It was under the guidance of someone that Hozoin Inshun, who had been transformed into a Heroic Swordsman not long ago, arrived at the thatched cottage alone to test someone.

Although it only provoked Musashi to take action in the end, it was of no importance to Hozoin Inshun.

Now, all he expects is——

"Although I advocate not to fight a war without benefit, this is ultimately a personal interest. If there is benefit, then it is another matter!"

Musashi, who was ready to fight, stared at Hozoin Inshun, whom he met for the first and last time, and said, "Why on earth do I practice swordsmanship? Why do I swing my sword, split, and cut, and continue to move forward in stagnant time?"

Traveling through different worlds time and again, Musashi never found the meaning of fighting clear.

Compared to fighting, she prefers a leisurely daily life——

But this is one-sided, and the real answer may have been pointed out long ago.

The swordsman's declaration was not loud, but it was full of firm will.

“It’s all about reaching the pinnacle, it’s all about moving towards the empty space that no one has ever stepped into.

Therefore, I want to fight with you. A real fight with a skilled swordsman is a benefit more valuable than gold.

I, after this duel, will gain knowledge that is better than a thousand meditations and ten thousand battles.

Unfortunately, the opponent has become a transformed being and has never seen the true side of Hozoin Inshun. Although he is still an enemy that he cannot defeat in this life, this way he has a chance of winning! "

Astonishing sword energy was bursting out, and Musashi's words also reached their climax: "Come on, monster! I will use my fifth force to completely smash your gun to pieces!"

"That's the kind of momentum we need! Come on, come on!"

Hozoin Inshun yelled, "Under the name of [Star Satan]!"

As the words fell, astonishing magical power erupted, and a world comparable to the inherent barrier of great magic expanded.

"Oh? Inherent barrier?"

Li Ye looked at the blooming miniature world with a surprised look on his face, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is this something that Treasure Court Yinshun brought with him?"

"Appear, our polar region where blood flowers bloom, a stage for a death battle where mountains of corpses and rivers of blood absorb and devour the souls of the defeated!"

With red eyes and even tears of blood, Hozoin Inshun roared, "My blade's name is [Lancer Purgatorio]!
The true name of my corpse is Hozoin Inshun!

Come on, come on, come on!! Wake up, Shinmen Musashi, the unknown man, be upright! "

In response to this declaration, Musashi declared with a fighting spirit: "Let's fight it out!"

The moment Li Ye was actively pulled into the stage of the death battle, the light of swords and spears were intertwined.

The spearmanship practiced by Hozoin Inshun even surpassed the 15 outer moves created by his predecessor Inrong. It was the opposite of the 11 inner moves created by Hozoin Inshun - [Oborozuki Eleventh Move].

It is even praised as "this gun can reach the realm of gods and Buddhas."

This type of moves compiled by Yinshun can deal with various enemies and various moves.

The precise shooting did not involve any unnecessary movements by anyone, and all of them were fatal moves. It even transcended the realm of mortal eyes and was an invisible gun!

Ding-ding-ding-ding.

But if the swung Tenmonji Spear is an invisible spear that reaches the realm of gods and Buddhas, then the sword light that cuts through the spear is a sword that can even cut through gods and Buddhas.

It is not the sword skills that have many kinds of sword skills, or even reach infinity, but the sword skills that abandon everything and move towards the empty point and the infinite zero.

Even to cut off karma and destiny——
