Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

Looking at the motionless remnant soul and the demonic sword, Ishikawa Ken couldn't help but stammer, "Father, what does this mean?"

Sitting on the ground, Ishikawa Shin gave a wry smile: "By absorbing other people's Qi, you can gain their abilities. What do you think that means?"

Yagyu Aiko felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and she took several steps back before sitting down heavily on the ground: "President Ishikawa, you mean, you mean that the remnant soul will become another Huai Dan Zhenren!"

Her hair was practically standing on end: "No, no, not only will he gain the abilities of Master Huaidan, but he'll also have the divine weapon Hiruzen to aid him..."

Yagyu Aiko's eyes rolled upwards, and no trace of her dark pupils could be seen. A strong feeling of suffocation gripped her heart and lungs!

Unimaginable, utterly unimaginable.

In that case, what a terrifying monster the remnant soul of the demon sword would evolve into!

Ringo clutched her chest: "Oh my god, this can't be real!"

Sitting on the ground, she was no different from a homeless woman!

Ishikawa Ken, the only one still standing among the four, was also swaying on his knees: "Father, tell me, tell me this isn't true!"

Ishikawa Shin closed his eyes in anguish: "It's true! Zhang Chulan was careless for a moment and caused a disaster!"

'Thump~~'

Ishikawa Ken could no longer hold on, and his two buttocks slammed into the boundless earth.

What does it mean to possess Zhang Huaidan's abilities and wield a demonic blade? It represents a terrifying existence that is completely beyond imagination!
Everyone present, including Zhang Huaidan himself, probably couldn't stand up to him!

Why did this happen? Why did this happen?
Shin Ishikawa looked utterly miserable: "Run! You all run!"

He suddenly turned around and looked at the group of Nadoku: "You all run! Run as far as you can! Minister Gao, go to Japan and tell my mentor that the demon sword Hirumaru is not what he used to be!"

Upon seeing the four people's appearance, Gao Lian's body trembled, his anus tightened, and he forced himself to remain calm, saying, "Chairman Ishikawa, is this really necessary? Is this really necessary? I think, I think..."

In his mind, Hu Tianbiao's voice boomed like tearing silk: "What are you looking at? What do you understand?! Run!"

Gao Lian felt as if the top of his head had been opened: 'Grandpa Tianbiao, you, you…'

'He is indeed absorbing the Qi of real people; he is indeed gaining the abilities of real people through this Qi!'

Gao Lian rolled his eyes back.

My vision blurred and I collapsed to the ground!

As for the remaining elite troops of Na Du Tong, they were all intimidated, like statues, nailed to the spot and dared not move.

A suffocatingly grim atmosphere hung overhead. Feng Baobao blinked blankly, "Are you all crazy...?"

Yagyu Aiko mocked her ignorance: "Fool, what do you know!"

Feng Baobao looked at her as if she were an idiot, then pointed at the remnant soul: "What is he anyway... He doesn't even deserve to devour Zhang Huaidan's Qi... He just thinks he's lived too long..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Ishikawa Shin suddenly turned his head, and his neck bones made a loud cracking sound as they rubbed together.

The remnant soul stood motionless, leaning on the demon sword. Golden light shone from its eyes, and an immense aura emanated from its body. However, its face was filled with pain and struggle, as if it were enduring something with great difficulty.

'Gulp~~'

Gao Lian swallowed hard and stiffly turned his head, only to see Zhang Huaidan smiling faintly, showing no intention of stopping him at all.

Ken Ishikawa, Aiko Yagyu, and Ringo Utada exchanged glances, inexplicably sensing that the aura emanating from the remnant soul was still vast, yet deeply imbued with regret and resentment.

Regret over encountering things that are completely beyond your control.

I am unwilling to accept that such a great thing is out of my reach!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The lingering soul screamed madly, screamed in agony!
Even Zhang Chulan, who had been observing carefully and hadn't made the first move, was taken aback. Was the scream really that terrible?
Who's slaughtering their pig for the New Year?
……

Ishikawa Ken, who had stood up again, helped Ishikawa Shin.

Ishikawa Shin stared intently at the remnant soul, his eyes seemingly glued to it, muttering incessantly, "No, gaining power by absorbing the Qi of others is a power that the demon sword has always possessed. There will be no exceptions, there will definitely be no exceptions!"

What happened to Zhang Huaidan this time?
The demon sword is an evil artifact that has plagued the land of cherry blossoms for hundreds of years!

Yagyu Aiko's lips trembled as she managed to utter a sound: "President Ishikawa, I think, I think the remnant soul really can't contain the power of Master Huaidan. He, he seems to be on the verge of collapse!"

Ishikawa Shin shouted, "Impossible!"

He shook his head like an angry lion: "Just now, how much golden light did the remnant soul devour from Zhang Chulan's body? One-tenth, one-hundredth, no, not even one-thousandth. Even if he couldn't obtain Huai Dan Zhenren's abilities through this Qi, how could he possibly collapse!"

Yagyu Aiko was hesitant and unable to speak.

But no matter how you look at her, she seems to be on the verge of a breakdown.

As Ishikawa Shin was still muttering, Feng Baobao gave them a strange look: "He's trying to pack an elephant in a book, it won't fit..."

Ishikawa Shin and the other three were stunned for a moment.

……

Hu Tianbiao's laughter echoed in his mind: 'A book-wrapped elephant, what a fitting description! This little girl's description is quite apt. I saw it coming long ago; that Japanese ghost couldn't possibly succeed!'

Standing up, Gao Lian, brushing the weeds off his clothes, said with a hint of resentment, "Grandpa Tianbiao, you saw through it a long time ago, but you didn't warn me, causing me so much anxiety."

Hu Tianbiao scoffed: "I did that to toughen you up, Xiao Gao. You're supposed to be in charge of the Northeast, yet you tripped and fell flat on your backside. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Gao Lian hesitated, then thought, "Never mind, it's better not to expose Grandpa Tianbiao's lie."

Hehe, just now when the remnant soul devoured the Qi of the real person, Grandfather Tianbiao's body odor was almost scared out of him, he could even smell it.

'Xiao Gao, are you making fun of me in your mind?'

"No, that's not true."

Hu Tianbiao snorted coldly, but since he had no evidence, he couldn't make a move.

……

Upon hearing Feng Baobao's words, Ishikawa Shin's pupils dilated violently: "One-thousandth of your power is enough to carry an elephant in a book? Little girl, do you think I'll be fooled by you?"

Feng Baobao glanced at him and remained silent, whether he believed it or not.

This is not a matter of power or not; the remnant soul wants to obtain Zhang Huaidan's abilities through Zhang Huaidan's Qi.

So what does he want to do? He wants to become a real person in one step!

After Zhang Huaidan attained the True Person status, every bit of his power bore the mark of that status. Even if it was only one in a thousand, or one in ten thousand, or one in a hundred thousand, the actions of a remnant soul would still bring about his death!
Ishikawa Shin was still chanting obliviously when Ishikawa Ken said in a trembling voice, "Father, the remnant soul can't hold on much longer."

Shin Ishikawa's hair stood on end. A backpack filled with an elephant—what would happen to the backpack?

A cracking sound echoed through the air!
The answer is in the schoolbag.

It's cracked!

When the sound reached Ishikawa Shin's ears, it felt as if his own eardrums were shattered, not the sword slave's.

He stared at the sword slave standing with his sword in a look of utter disbelief, his face contorted with a pain that seemed to be splitting apart, a literal sign of his disintegration.

First, the dark yellow skin cracked open, followed by a layer of pale yellow fat, until bright red muscle was revealed, beneath which lay pale bone with cracks.

Harada Yusuke, the vessel through which the remnant soul of the demon sword possessed and exerted its power, has thus spectacularly cracked open!
Ishikawa Ken spoke in a dreamlike voice: "But, having merely absorbed a tiny bit of Huai Dan Zhenren's power, is the Sword Slave's physical body already unable to withstand it and on the verge of collapse?"

No one could answer his question, and Yagyu Aiko muttered to herself in bewilderment, "This must be an illusion!"

Ishikawa Shin shuddered and his voice cracked, "No, this isn't right, it's not like that! The Sword Slave was never able to bear the full power of the Demon Blade's release. Now its physical body is collapsing, but... this is just a normal development. I understand! That's it! It has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not it absorbed Huai Dan Zhenren's power!"

Ishikawa Shin's lips curled into a smile, pleased with his clear-headed understanding!
Otherwise, no matter how powerful Master Huai Dan is, could he really split the sword slave apart with just one-thousandth or even one-ten-thousandth of his power? What a joke!
Kenya Ishikawa trembled violently: "Father is right, it must be so!"

Yagyu Aiko murmured to herself, "Is that really true?"

……

The image of Hu Tianbiao in his mind was beaming: 'You really made this old man laugh.'

These few Japanese people brought him a lot of amusement.

Gao Lian seemed to be a reincarnation of a bitter gourd; he swore he really didn't find it funny at all.

"President Ishikawa and the others are still unwilling to accept the facts. Yes, who can accept such a fact calmly?"

The power of Master Huaidan is beyond description with the dry word "terrifying"!
The infamous evil artifact that has ravaged the land of cherry blossoms for hundreds of years, the demonic sword that slaughtered countless people in the world of supernatural beings in the land of Xia decades ago and was regarded as a calamity, the Hirumaru that the remnants of the Hira ninja have been lying in wait for years to reclaim, and the major event in which the entire Northeast branch has mobilized.

The very source of all this was something that even Master Huai Dan couldn't withstand, not even a fraction of his power, and he didn't even need to personally intervene.

In the heart of Gao Lian.

The surging, overwhelming waves quickly turned into a stagnant pool.

……

Ishikawa Shin's words reached his ears, and he said decisively, "It's absolutely this..."

The sound seemed to be abruptly cut off, and after the sword slave shattered like glass, the demonic blade followed!

Ken Ishikawa's entire face was contorted!

"Father, what did I see?!"

Ishikawa Shin roared repeatedly, his voice booming like thunder: "Don't look! Don't look! Close your eyes, all of you close your eyes!"

It seemed that this would suppress the crisp sound of metal cracking.

However, it was to no avail. Ishikawa Shin's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he uttered a voice devoid of emotion, yet brimming with a torrent of emotions: "The demon sword has shattered too..."

He suddenly burst into laughter, gesturing wildly: "The demon sword has cracked! From now on, the Ishikawa family no longer needs to suppress the demon sword! That's wonderful, truly wonderful!"

He said this, but tears streamed down his face, and he stumbled and knelt on the ground.

She covered her face with her hands and burst into tears!
Isn't the Destruction Demon Blade the direction that successive heads of the Ishikawa family have strived for?
But why!
Can anyone tell Ishikawa Shin why?
Watching the demon sword being destroyed, he felt no joy whatsoever; all he felt was a deep-seated pain and desolation!

The demon sword cannot be destroyed. There is only one way to break it: hold a sword-breaking trial with the Ishikawa family.

He subdued the sword spirit within the demonic blade through pure swordsmanship, causing it to relinquish its obsession and willingly disappear.

It is obvious that in the past few hundred years, no one has been able to subdue the sword spirit through swordsmanship!
In Ishikawa Shin's vision, one day a sword prodigy from the land of cherry blossoms will emerge, achieving unparalleled success and winning the heartfelt admiration of the sword spirit!

This genius should ideally be from the Ishikawa family!
But he never imagined that the demon sword would be destroyed in such an absurd way!
Just a tiny bit of power!
A mere pittance of power!
The destruction of the sword slave's physical body affected the demon sword itself, leading this evil weapon that once ravaged a country to its doom!

Ishikawa Shin knelt down and wept bitterly, Ishikawa Ken and Yagyu Aiko were distraught, and Utada Ringo closed her eyes and lay on the ground as if she had fainted.

The four members of the Ishikawa family were all unable to accept this outcome, but the fact had already been made.

The sword slave overstepped, or rather, desecrated, the power he was not supposed to touch, and irreversibly marched toward destruction.

……

Zhang Chulan clicked his tongue, seemingly indicating that he was no longer involved, although he didn't know the specifics of what had happened.

but.

Dan is awesome, that's all!
The golden light in the eyes of the sword slave opposite him dimmed, and his face was covered with cracks, revealing flesh and bones that made him look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

He said in a hoarse voice, "This power is not yours."

Zhang Chulan smiled, hands on his hips: "Congratulations on getting it right, but unfortunately there's no reward."

"What kind of being is that?"

Sword Soul sensed it closely. Sword Slave's physical body was collapsing, the blade of the demon sword was shattering, and his consciousness was gradually fading away. The obsession that had kept him going for hundreds of years and would only grow stronger in the future was forcibly dismantled by an unimaginable force!

He didn't disperse in awe of a swordsmanship master far superior to himself; he was forcibly suppressed and obliterated by an incomprehensible being!

Zhang Chulan was slightly surprised: "You didn't know?"

Sword Soul's heart stirred, and he tried again to touch that untouchable power, immediately feeling a mysterious connection.

At the same time, his body disintegrated even faster; his left arm had completely disintegrated, and Hirumaru's sword tip was no longer there.

Sword Slave turned his head in a daze and saw Zhang Huaidan, who was calm and collected in the crowd. He was clearly in the crowd, but no one noticed him, as if he were independent of this world.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency is..."

Sword Slave's throat bobbed and then fell back down. He forced himself to take a step, as if trying to get closer, but his legs also collapsed, making him kneel in front of Zhang Huaidan as if he were hundreds of meters away.

Zhang Huaidan waved his hand, and the three grains of golden light, each the size of a grain of rice, crossed the distance and landed in his palm.

The sword slave fell to the ground, one of his eyes shattered, and the sword spirit's obsession was forcibly destroyed, leaving Hirumaru with only a sword hilt.

There seemed to be a soft 'pop' sound.

The handle was also broken.

There are no more Hiruzen in the world, and a faint thought drifts away on the wind.

'What a magnificent existence...' (End of Chapter)
