Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

Butterfly, panting heavily, looked on expectantly: "You must control Hiruma, not be controlled by him. Do you remember what I taught you since you were little? Use your spiritual power to suppress the sword spirit within Hiruma!"

Harada Yusuke managed to speak with difficulty: "Grandma..."

Butterfly's voice was soft: "I'm here, Yusuke."

To bring the demon sword Hiruma back to light, Cho has been hiding in the northeast for decades.

In order to cultivate a new demon who could wield the demon sword, Cho poured a lot of effort into Harada Yusuke, showing him more affection than even her own grandson.

At that moment, her eyes shone with loving light: "Grandma believes in you, you can definitely do it..."

Harada Yusuke squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "You're so noisy...it's really annoying..."

Butterfly was somewhat stunned, and suddenly realized that, without her noticing, Harada Yusuke's eyes were now filled with only cruelty and tyranny, so unfamiliar, completely different from the innocent child she remembered.

'Whoosh~~'

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the air, slicing across her left shoulder without any hesitation before the butterfly could even react.

The humming of the leech conveys a sense of pleasure in slaughtering life.

Not a single drop of blood stained the downward-pointing blade.

The loving expression on Butterfly's face froze. She lowered her head in a daze, suddenly realizing that her gaze was uncontrollably drifting away.

A red line is rapidly becoming more prominent, running from the left shoulder to the right waist.

With a 'thud,' the butterfly was cleaved in two by Harada Yusuke, and both halves of its body fell to the ground at the same time.

The last image of those loving eyes shows Harada Yusuke wielding his demon sword, slaughtering the remaining members of the Hiei ninja clan.

Did I do something wrong?

Butterfly's mind was rapidly turning cold. She thought about how she had wasted her life without getting Hirumaru and died unwillingly in a foreign land, and she also thought about how she could die generously after being captured by Natoku and gritting her teeth without revealing any information.

But she never imagined that she would be cleaved in two by Harada Yusuke, who was closer to her than her own grandson.

Between moments of blurred consciousness.

A dark shadow, like a beast unleashed from its cage, devoured her remnant soul.

"Yusuke, what are you doing? Stop it! I'm your Watanabe brother, you've forgotten... Ah!"

"Harada Yusuke, I order you to stop, stop... No!"

"Baka! We're in cahoots! You killed the wrong person... Ugh!"

With Hiruma in hand, Harada Yusuke pounced on the remaining members of the Hiei ninja clan, like a tiger among sheep, slaughtering them all!

The worst thing about the demon sword Hirumaru is its sharpness.

With each swing of the blade, a mere graze resulted in injury, and a single touch was fatal; the efficiency of the slaughter was astonishing.

For the dozens of remnants of the Bihe Ren clan present, even escape became a luxury. Limbs and broken arms flew everywhere, and all sorts of voices faded away.

……

The onlookers were shocked, and Zhang Chulan gasped, "Holy crap! Which side is he on?"

Ishikawa Shin said with a sorrowful expression, "Perhaps because he hasn't drawn his sword for decades, Hirumaru is far more insane than before. This man has had his mind taken over by Hirumaru. He is no longer the master of the sword, but has become a pathetic slave to the sword."

Zhang Chulan shook his head. It was clearly a sword, so how did it produce a sword slave? The Sakura Kingdom really is famous for not being able to distinguish between swords and knives.

Alarm bells rang in Gao Lian's mind. Harada Yusuke's fighting prowess in killing his own men was astounding. If it were the elites of Nadoku, they probably wouldn't be much better than these remnants of the Bihe Renmin.

'Grandpa Tianbiao, what do you think?'

Hu Tianbiao's voice was also quite solemn: "That sword harbors an extremely powerful and extremely evil soul! So far, this Japanese man hasn't even unleashed one-tenth of the demon sword's power!"

Gao Lian was deeply shaken upon hearing this.

Zhang Chulan clicked his tongue: "What do we do now? He's killing his own people indiscriminately. Won't he run away after he's done?"

Ishikawa Shin shook his head: "No, under the control of the demon sword, the sword slave will continuously create carnage and challenge the strong until he dies from exhaustion."

At this time, all the remaining members of the Higanbana clan had been killed by Harada Yusuke.

He stood amidst the severed limbs, suddenly turned around, and on his blood-covered face, a pair of savage eyes shone with a ferocious gaze. Without saying a word, he drew his knife and charged towards the crowd.

Zhang Chulan stepped forward: "Sister Bao'er, can you cover for me?"

Feng Baobao nodded, and Zhang Chulan greeted Harada Yusuke, his body enveloped in a smooth golden light.

Before they even exchanged blows, Harada Yusuke's body swayed slightly, and an identical layer of golden light appeared on his body!

Zhang Chulan was taken aback: "Golden Light Mantra!"

This is truly an international joke! A strange person from the land of cherry blossoms actually knows the Golden Light Spell!

Ishikawa Shin's heavy voice sounded from behind: "Zhang Chulan, you must not let your guard down. Those who die at the hands of the Demon Blade will have their souls devoured by the Demon Blade. The sword master or sword slave will then have the ability to use the supernatural powers of those who have been devoured."

Zhang Chulan frowned deeply. Didn't this mean that an ancestor from Longhu Mountain had died at the hands of this demonic sword?
As the blade swung, he ducked, still feeling a chill run down his scalp. Yang Wu Lei unleashed his power, striking Harada Yusuke's head like a scorpion's tail.

The blade was faster than the lightning, easily shattering the Yang Wu Thunder. Specks of white light fell on the Golden Light Mantra, leaving Harada Yusuke unharmed.

'Truly impressive!' Zhang Chulan thought to himself.

They attacked from both sides, and for a time they were evenly matched.

'To be able to withstand both my and Bao'er's attacks simultaneously, truly impressive... Wait, if that's all there is to it, mobilizing the entire force against the remnants of the He Ren clan is a bit of an overreaction!'

Zhang Chulan is a very self-aware person. His alliance with Feng Baobao is indeed formidable, but that's about it.

In a moment of surprise and doubt, I suddenly noticed that the golden light on Harada Yusuke's body had become thinner, and the aura he exuded with every move he made was somewhat similar to Feng Baobao's, whether it was an illusion or not.

"middle!"

A white snake hit Yusuke Harada's vest!

A patch of charred remains appeared instantly, the air filled with the aroma of roasted meat, and Harada staggered uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan could hardly believe it!
Harada Yusuke's brutal slaughter of the Hiei ninja just now was terrifying, but now he has become incredibly vulnerable!
A flood of doubts filled his mind: 'How did I suddenly become so much weaker!'

Just as he was thinking this, a slight crackling sound came from the tip of Hirumaru's sword, and a spark of lightning burst out!
The blade struck, more than ten times stronger than it had been moments before!
Zhang Chulan was terrified, but luckily his Xunlei Super VIP membership was still active, allowing him to narrowly escape the attack.

He exclaimed inwardly, "Yang Wu Lei!"

Although Harada Yusuke's move was a sword technique, it clearly incorporated lightning magic, making it as fast as lightning!
Zhang Chulan found it unbelievable that even a high-ranking official from the Celestial Master's Mansion had died under the Demon Blade, and that the Celestial Master's Mansion's secret technique, Yang Wu Lei, had been learned by a Japanese man!
Upon closer inspection, Zhang Chulan calmed down considerably: 'No, this isn't Yang Wu Lei, it's a simulated Yang Wu Lei. The path is completely different, with no upward potential.' Just as he was thinking this, Zhang Chulan witnessed a scene that made his jaw drop.

The Hirumaru blade flashed with the light of Yang Wu Lei, and suddenly entered Harada Yusuke's body along his wrist, causing his speed to increase dramatically!

Zhang Chulan blurted out, "Damn! Isn't this my Xunlei VIP membership?"

His hair stood on end as he stared at Harada Yusuke as if he'd seen a ghost.

...

…a moment ago.

'Strange, why has this demon become weaker?'

Gao Lian, who was keeping a close eye on the situation, heard Hu Tianbiao's self-talk in his mind and immediately thought it was a joke.

But Grandfather Tianbiao wasn't one to joke around. He examined him closely and indeed found something amiss.

How could Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao possibly be on par with this demon?

If the demons were so easy to deal with, wouldn't all the efforts the Northeast Branch has made recently have become a joke?
It wasn't that he thought Zhang Chulan was weak; he was just stating the facts.

Outstanding young people are, after all, young people.

At this moment, Harada Yusuke's performance is at best on par with the top three monsters.

'Grandpa Tianbiao, did you see it?'

Hu Tianbiao did not answer. Gao Lian's heart stirred. Just because Grandpa Tianbiao could not see the clue for the time being did not mean that others could not.

"Master Huaidan, what's going on?"

Zhang Huaidan smiled and said, "The demon blade devoured Feng Baobao's Qi and imitated Feng Baobao's moves, but obviously, there are some things it cannot learn."

Before Gao Lian could speak, Ishikawa Shin couldn't help but glance at him. As expected of someone who had attained the status of a true master, Hirumaru's secrets were completely exposed in his eyes!
Gao Lian was somewhat confused: "What kind of explanation is this?"

Shin Ishikawa explained, "Minister Taka is unaware that Hiruma can not only devour the souls of those he kills and use their abilities, but also, in battle, Hiruma can devour the Qi of others and imitate their moves."

His gaze was extremely solemn: "This is the most terrifying aspect of Hirumaru. Minister Gao, please consider this: everyone who has fought Hirumaru, even if they are not killed by him, will provide Hirumaru with resources for growth, making it stronger and stronger!"

Gao Lian was astonished: "What kind of strange knife is this!"

Even though he couldn't believe it: "This is simply unscientific. Devouring other people's Qi can be attributed to the evil nature of the sword itself, but what about imitating other people's moves? If other people's moves were so easy to imitate, every superhuman could become a grandmaster!"

Gao Lian, who considered himself knowledgeable and experienced, was at a loss. This was impossible for a living person, let alone a knife!

It should be noted that even Ding Shian, one of the two heroes in the world of supernatural beings and a master of all arts, learned them through study, not by simply imitating others' moves in combat!
Ishikawa Shin sighed softly, "This involves the secret of the demon sword's birth. The sword spirit within that sword is the embodiment of the most outstanding swordsmanship talent in the history of our Sakura Kingdom! The terror of that person's talent is probably no less than..."

He glanced at Zhang Huaidan.

Gao Lian's eyes flickered uncertainly. So that's how it is!
It's still hard to accept that a mere remnant soul could see through and learn other people's methods through combat. If it were a living person, what would happen!

Ishikawa Shin continued, "If it weren't for the remnant soul within the sword, Hirumaru would just be a slightly sharper weapon."

As they spoke, lightning crackled across the Hirumaru blade. No matter how much Gao Lian didn't believe it, he had nothing to say in the face of the undeniable facts.

In such a short time, they've even learned the thunder magic of the Celestial Master's Mansion!

Even though it's just a superficial simulation, it's enough to show how terrifying the demon sword is!
Ishikawa Ken narrowed his eyes slightly: "Father, that woman is very strange. She is clearly no weaker than Zhang Chulan, but the demon sword becomes weaker when it simulates her."

Ishikawa Shin was also baffled.

Hiruzen thrives when facing strong opponents and dies when facing weak ones; Feng Baobao's performance is astonishing.

“Firm”.

Ishikawa Ken stepped forward: "Father, I will defeat the Sword Slave!"

Ringo cupped her hands around her heart: "Young Master, be careful."

Ishikawa Ken nodded solemnly. At this moment, Zhang Chulan was in complete defeat, and if it weren't for Feng Baobao's support, he might have been in mortal danger.

"Zhang Chulan, step back. Defeating the Sword Slave and suppressing the Demon Blade is the mission of the Ishikawa family!"

With Ishikawa Ken joining the battle, Zhang Chulan felt much less pressure. He tried to give him a heads-up, but Ishikawa had already drawn his sword and was about to attack Harada Yusuke.

In an instant, the simulated Yang Wu Lei that had caused Harada Yusuke's speed to increase dramatically vanished.

The two samurai swords clashed in mid-air and fought several rounds in the blink of an eye.

Upon closer inspection, Ishikawa Ken and Harada Yusuke's moves are remarkably similar, almost as if they were made from the same mold.

When Ishikawa Ken swung his sword, his expression was extremely calm. His sword strikes appeared fierce, but in reality, there was not a trace of killing intent.

Harada Yusuke was the same, but his face was extremely ferocious, as if he was struggling to suppress something.

……

Zhang Chulan stepped back and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "There wasn't a trace of killing intent. What a strange swordsmanship."

Ishikawa Shin shook his head: "This is not swordsmanship, this is swordsmanship, a Buddhist sword specially created by our Ishikawa family ancestors to subdue the demon sword."

Zhang Chulan asked curiously, "The Buddha Sword, can it make one a Buddha?"

Ishikawa Shin sighed, “You may not know this, but Hirumaru and our Ishikawa family have a long-forgotten past. Every generation of the Ishikawa family head has taken it upon himself to seal Hirumaru away.”

"Is there such a thing?"

"The remnant soul within Hirumaru is too bloodthirsty. When two swordsmen fight, they will inevitably stir up each other's bloodthirstiness. Therefore, Hirumaru can only be a temporary master of the sword. No matter who it is, they will eventually be corrupted by the bloodthirstiness of the remnant soul within Hirumaru. It's just a matter of how long it takes."

"The essence of the Buddha Sword lies in not killing. It uses pure swordsmanship to subdue the remnant soul within Hirumaru and suppress his killing intent. If it can be completely subdued, Hirumaru will fall into eternal peace and no longer wreak havoc on the world."

Zhang Chulan glanced at him: "President Ishikawa, if I'm not mistaken, Hirumaru is a weapon from hundreds of years ago, and it still exists today. Does that mean..."

Ishikawa Shin gave a bitter smile: "You're right. None of the previous heads of the Ishikawa family have been able to let Hiruma rest in peace. At most, they could seal it away for a period of time. Every time, it was taken away by some 'superhumans' who coveted power and were so arrogant that they thought they could control Hiruma. Higashi Ninja is such a group of people."

Zhang Chulan remained calm and reserved, offering only one side of the story.

Gao Lian said in a deep voice, "Chairman Ishikawa, let's not beat around the bush. How confident are you, or rather, how confident is the Ishikawa family right now, in bringing peace to the remnant soul in Hirumaru?"

Ishikawa Shin's gaze wandered.

Ringo suddenly exclaimed, "Young Master!"

Ishikawa Ken was no match for him. (End of Chapter)
