Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

The demonic sword's blade reflected a clear, shimmering light, and Ishikawa was absolutely certain: 'Zhang Chulan is doomed...'

But then a 'clink' sound was heard, a crisp sound like an echo from a dream!
Shin Ishikawa blinked, then rubbed his eyes. How come Zhang Chulan wasn't cleaved in two by the sword?

Ishikawa Ken was speechless: "Father, is this really true?"

Ishikawa Shin murmured as if in a dream: "About what?"

Ishikawa Ken couldn't speak; the blood and tears he had shed had dried, but he felt his jaw slip out of his body's control.

Aiko Yagyu, standing nearby, stammered, "It's...it's still..."

The peerless prodigy within Hiruma awakened, unleashing such a pure and powerful strike, yet it still failed to break through Zhang Chulan's protective golden light.

It didn't even stir up a string of sparks; it was like a gentle breeze brushing against my cheek...

No, even a gentle breeze can stir the fine hairs on your cheeks.

But this strike did not achieve anything.

The arena was completely silent. Even the remnant soul that had awakened was shaken, its eyes filled with confusion, and it muttered to itself in its native dialect, "Why?"

suddenly.

Ringo screamed, "Master, Young Master, Miss Aiko, this can't be real! This can't be real!"

Ringo shook her head wildly, her hair now disheveled, looking like a homeless person begging for food on the street.

Ken Ishikawa was taken aback. Ringo was his servant since childhood, and they had a very close relationship.

Ignoring the shock in his heart, he pressed down on Ringo's shoulder: "Calm down."

Ringo's body was still swaying, and a tremendous force was faintly visible. Ken Ishikawa felt that he was not holding down Ringo, but a ferocious beast that was ready to devour its prey.

"Ringo!"

Utada Ringo stared blankly up at the blood and tears that had congealed on Ishikawa Ken's face, and felt a surge of grief: "Young Master! It's impossible, it's really impossible. That strike, that strike was the pinnacle of swordsmanship!"

Her eyes darted around violently: "No one, no one in this world can withstand that blow!"

Kenichi Ishikawa said softly, "I know, I understand. In short, calm down."

Ringo lowered her head silently: "I will listen to the young master."

Kenichi Ishikawa breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. His father, Shinichi Ishikawa, and his fiancée, Aiko Yagyu, were still in a state of confusion.

Ringo could see the power of that strike, and the two of them naturally felt it too; it was indeed a strike that no one could block!

However, the truth was so absurd, so absurd it was terrifying, that even with that slash, Zhang Chulan's protective golden aura remained completely undamaged.

Yagyu Aiko's voice trembled: "Even if we can't completely break through that golden light, at least leave some marks!"

Ishikawa Ken looked around, but there was no mark.
Ishikawa Shin gritted his teeth: "I suspect that the main power of that strike was not in destroying the protective measures, but in other aspects. There is a Chinese idiom in Xia that says 'hitting a cow across a mountain,' and this strike must have passed through this layer of protective golden light and seriously injured Zhang Chulan's body!"

Ishikawa Ken's eyes lit up: "That's right, Father, it really is possible!"

Aiko Yagyu realized: "That explanation makes much more sense!"

……

Hu Tianbiao's laughter echoed in my mind: "Did you hear what those little Japanese devils said? They really made this old man laugh."

Gao Lian couldn't muster a smile: "Grandpa Tianbiao, what about that slash just now?"

Hu Tianbiao's laughter stopped abruptly. If that knife had struck him, he would have been half-dead, if not killed.

Gao Lian was utterly shocked: 'What exactly is that golden light emanating from Zhang Chulan?!'

Hu Tianbiao sighed deeply: "The methods of a true master are far beyond our comprehension."

Originally, he had felt a little uneasy about introducing Zhang Huaidan to the patriarch, but at this moment, it all vanished completely.

Such methods are simply unheard of, unseen, inconceivable, and awe-inspiring!

After the remnant soul within the demon sword awakened, it completely merged with Hirumaru, and the aura it exuded made Hu Tianbiao feel a chill run down his spine.

This is a terrifying existence that is absolutely no weaker than him, and may even be stronger than him!
However, even a single strike that combined all the skills of a lifetime could not break Zhang Chulan's protective golden light. If that were the case, it would be alright.

The key point is that not a single trace was left!
To be honest, although Hu Tianbiao mocked the Ishikawa father and son, he was also trying to release his own pressure through the mockery.

It should be noted that the evil spirit that was about to self-destruct, comparable to a demon king, was destroyed by Master Huai Dan, which had a severe impact on Hu Tianbiao.

As for this time, Hu Tianbiao felt somewhat numb.

After all, Master Huai Dan at least made a move last time, but this time, he didn't make a move at all!

As he pondered this, Hu Tianbiao shuddered. Despite no longer having a physical body, he still felt a chill run through his body and dared not think any further.

……

The eyes of the Ishikawa father and son gleamed with admiration!

Ishikawa said firmly, "Father's analysis is absolutely correct. I see that Zhang Chulan is standing still now, which clearly means he has suffered extremely serious internal injuries!"

Ishikawa Shin nodded slightly, and Utada Ringo also calmed down: "Zhang Chulan's meridians may have been destroyed and his internal organs may have been ruptured!"

From the perspective of a swordsman of extraordinary skill, the greatest power of that strike was not its destructive force, but the supreme swordsmanship attached to it!
If it were Ringo herself, she would even be willing to be killed by that one strike, just to see the ultimate realm of swordsmanship in its entirety!

Zhang Chulan might not understand the swordsmanship involved.

The destructive power of that strike.

That's enough to decide everything!
Ishikawa Shin let out a soft breath, a warm smile on his face: "It seems my guess wasn't..."

The smile froze on his face.

Ishikawa Ken's mouth gaped open, his jaw threatening to drop again, and he stammered, "Father, does Zhang Chulan... does he look like he's seriously injured?"

But Zhang Chulan reached for the demon sword's blade with one hand, and the remnant soul's pupils shrank sharply. Naturally, he wouldn't let Zhang Chulan grab it. As he drew his sword and flew back, his other hand clenched into a fist and slammed it into the sword slave's left cheek with the force of a thunderbolt.

The sword slave broke out a few more teeth, but this time it was a remnant soul that had awakened, and it could clearly feel the pain coming from this body.

Slightly surprised and angry: "You!"

"What am I?"

Zhang Chulan chuckled: "Didn't you eat? You're swinging your sword with no strength at all!"

This sentence not only failed to enrage the remnant soul, but the look of shock and anger on his face vanished completely, leaving him even colder than the clear light of a blade.

Zhang Chulan's expression remained unchanged, still looking like he deserved a beating.

He was secretly alarmed.

As expected of an "old devil" from hundreds of years ago, provoking him is probably harder than defeating him!
The situation returned to normal, with Zhang Chulan using his unbreakable golden protective light to chase after the remnant soul.

However, the remnant soul's movements were truly exquisite; Zhang Chulan couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes, and he didn't launch another attack, but simply frowned as he observed Zhang Chulan.

"What the hell are you?"

The remnant soul couldn't help but ask the question a second time.

Zhang Chulan yelled, "You're the scum! Your whole family are scum!"

There was no anger on Canhun's face, only his brows furrowed deeper: "Your martial arts skills are clearly inferior to those of a three-year-old child..." As someone who had slaughtered an entire generation of swordsmen in the Sakura Kingdom, Canhun's vision was far beyond what others could imagine.

Before he even woke up and spoke, he was already assessing the strength of his opponent, Zhang Chulan.

They quickly concluded that this was not only a worthless opponent, but fighting against him was tantamount to insulting themselves!

So he prepared to end it all with one stroke.

Unexpectedly, nothing was accomplished, forcing me to reconsider.

At this moment, his conclusion remained unchanged!
Zhang Chulan is practically riddled with weaknesses, to the point of being unbearable, making the remnant soul feel deeply uncomfortable.

However, the truth is that he was powerless to fight back!

Subconsciously touching the large bump on his head, the remnant soul's thoughts vanished, and the only answer emerged in his mind.

Zhang Chulan relied solely on that layer of protective golden light!
Countless memories flowed, and a layer of golden light appeared on the remnant soul, flowing onto Hirumaru's sword and reflecting a dazzling golden light.

……

In a daze, Ishikawa Kenji saw the golden Hiruzen and exclaimed, "Could it be...?"

Ishikawa Shin was still reeling from the shock of Zhang Chulan remaining unharmed when Yagyu Aiko gasped, "Zhang Chulan is radiating golden light, and the remnant soul of the demon sword also emits golden light. Could we possibly counter golden light with golden light...?"

Ishikawa Ken's heart contracted. As the saying goes, opposites attract and likes repel. Is it possible that the remnant soul of the demon sword could neutralize the golden light on Zhang Chulan's body?
Thoughts.

The remnant soul's gaze narrowed to a single point: "Slash!"

The Hiruma Slash, imbued with golden light, struck Zhang Chulan. In an instant, the golden light shattered, the blade vibrated violently, and it almost slipped out of his hand.

The remnant soul ducked, dodging Zhang Chulan's counterattack, and once again used its graceful steps to create distance, its face ashen.

Zhang Chulan laughed and said, "Do you think your Golden Light Mantra is the same as the one I have?"

With an imposing air: "Don't run away if you dare, take this punch!"

……

Yagyu Aiko gave a wry smile: "What am I thinking?"

Ken Ishikawa lowered his head. Yes, how could the golden light of the two be the same thing?

Glass is transparent, and so are diamonds.

Is glass a diamond?

At this time.

With a 'rip' sound, a muscle jutted out of the sword slave's arm, accompanied by a spray of blood!

Ishikawa Shin snapped back to reality with a start: "The sword slave's physical body is about to give way!"

Ishikawa Ken opened his mouth: "Physical body..."

Ishikawa Shin said in a deep voice, "With the demon sword fully unleashed, Harada Yusuke simply cannot contain it. It's only a matter of time before his physical body collapses."

"Even now that his remnant soul has awakened, he is still no match for Zhang Chulan. Once his physical body collapses, the demon sword will ultimately be nothing more than a sword."

Ishikawa Ken was speechless with shock. Yagyu Aiko said softly, "Chairman Ishikawa, our goal is to suppress the demon sword. Shouldn't we be happy with the current situation?"

Ishikawa Shin's face was full of bitterness: "Yes, we should be happy."

Ishikawa Ken's face showed pain: "But why can't I feel happy at all?"

The remnant soul has only awakened once or twice in the records of the Ishikawa family, and each time it came at an extremely heavy price!

Now it's like a pitiful stray dog ​​running around everywhere, unable to even bite back.

Yagyu Aiko said softly, "There's nothing we can do. Master Huai Dan is too powerful. He's so powerful that he can easily suppress the awakened demon sword without even lifting a finger..."

Ishikawa Ken's astonished and frightened voice interrupted Yagyu Aiko!
"What is that remnant soul doing?!"

Yagyu Aiko stared wide-eyed at the arena.

Despite taking two punches from Zhang Chulan, the remnant soul gripped his hand tightly, and a strange purple aura suddenly erupted!
Ishikawa Shin asked in surprise and doubt, "What does the remnant soul want to do?"

……

The remnant soul's large hand was like an iron clamp, firmly gripping his palm. Zhang Chulan felt the scorching heat that burned his heart. He struggled to shake it off, hearing a series of cracking sounds from his bones as they broke. Even so, the remnant soul still held onto his hand.

Zhang Chulan's expression changed slightly as he sensed the extremely powerful Qi surging within the remnant soul, and a devouring force spread towards him.

At this time.

Ishikawa Shin screamed, almost howling, "Zhang Chulan, get rid of him! Quickly! Get rid of him at all costs!" He jumped up, shouting, "Don't hesitate! If you can't get rid of him, cut off your hand! Zhang Chulan, cut off your own hand!"

Zhang Chulan was completely dumbfounded. "You're crazy!"
Why don't you cut off your own hand!

While he was in a daze, the remnant soul voluntarily let go of his hand.

Zhang Chulan took a closer look and gasped. Two or three tiny pits, the size of rice grains, had appeared on the protective golden light on his arm!

'My protective golden aura is formed from Brother Dan's 'energy,' which he couldn't destroy with his knife, but the devouring power he just experienced could…'

……

Seeing Zhang Chulan's bewildered expression, Ishikawa Shin muttered to himself, "Hirumaru is forcibly devouring other people's Qi. Zhang Chulan is too careless. This protective golden light will definitely be devoured!"

The next moment, Ishikawa Shin blinked: "What's going on?"

Ishikawa Ken opened his mouth: "Father, was the golden light on Zhang Chulan's body swallowed up?"

Just as Ishikawa Shin was having an existential crisis, two golden lights suddenly flashed in the eyes of the sword slave!
The remnant soul, leaning on the leech, swayed as if drunk, then suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly: "This isn't Qi? No, this is Qi! There is such pure and refined Qi in the world, it's mine! Hahahaha!"

Accompanied by wild laughter, a powerful, almost boundless, aura of Qi rushed towards us!

Everyone present had a very ominous premonition!

The image of Hu Tianbiao screamed repeatedly in his mind: 'What's going on! What just happened? His Qi, his Qi! I couldn't even muster the will to resist!'

Gao Lian's heart was pounding like a drum.

"Grandpa Tianbiao, what should we do? What should we do?!"

……

Shin Ishikawa's eyes were lifeless as he slumped to the ground with a thud: "It's over!"

Kenichi Ishikawa and Aiko Yagyu were shocked!

"Father!"

"Chairman Ishikawa!"

Ishikawa Shin's lips trembled: "The demon sword can devour the soul of the slain to gain the slain's abilities, and it can also analyze the opponent's abilities through the opponent's Qi."

Ishikawa Kenji was as if struck by lightning, his face ashen white!

"Just now……"

Ishikawa Shin muttered to himself, "It devoured the Qi of True Immortal Huaidan..." (End of Chapter)
