Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 456 You said your name is Martial God?
"Who fired the shot!?"

The sound was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear, like thunder that had been suppressed for a long time, gently falling into everyone's ears.

The voice sounded extremely calm, so calm that no emotion could be discerned, yet it was full of energy, as if every syllable contained a burst of anger about to erupt.

The next second, the mercenary square, which had been noisy and full of whispers, fell into a deathly silence, as if all the air that could transmit sound had been suddenly sucked out.

At that moment, everyone could hear their own rapidly beating heartbeat.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound.

Then came Wo Yin, who was known as the "Silver Light Blade".

I'm already standing on the edge of the crowd.

The man was covered in spotless armor, his hand resting on his longsword, his face cold and stern.

You can still vaguely sense the undeniable anger lingering between the other person's brows.

When you hear the silent yet powerful, thunderous sound of his boots stomping on the ground.

No one was giving orders.

But at this moment, everyone seemed to be of one mind, and spontaneously made way for the swordsman, clearing a straight path for him.

It's as natural as swinging a long sword at the sea and the seawater parting in response.

However, the next moment.

Luo Yi's somewhat languid voice broke the silence.

"I own it, so what?"

"It's just a pastime after meals!"

"No one was killed."

"Does this town have some kind of rule I'm unaware of, such as 'no shooting'?"
-
After uttering those words.

He watched as Woyin walked towards him with unprecedented momentum.

Luo Yi simply tilted the short gun he was gripping tightly in his hand towards Wo Yin.

Then, he moved the muzzle of the pistol to his lips and blew on it.

It was as if it were blowing away some non-existent gunpowder smoke.

After completing these actions, he ignored Woyin who was approaching.

Instead, she calmly and slowly greeted Fang Yi with the standard etiquette of a reincarnator.

"His marksmanship is actually quite decent."

"You are entitled to know my name."

"Li Yi, 452nd Medal of Honor."

"What about you?"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Yi's black overcoat bulged out abruptly.

The surrounding air seemed to have split apart.

A silver streak, like a shooting star, suddenly appeared in the sky.

Trailing a blinding trajectory, it surged forth with thunderous battle aura, suddenly bursting through the air.

"Thorn-"

The sound of the air being sliced ​​apart was so clear it was chilling.

Followed by.

"Crench."

A crisp, cracking sound rang out.

An endless crack, seemingly defining the boundary between life and death, had appeared on the ground beneath Luo Yi's feet.

The gap is straight and fine.

So small that if you don't look closely, you'll just think you're seeing things.

The cut is so smooth, like a meticulously polished metal surface, giving it an unusual aesthetic appeal.

But the darkness that reveals the bottom also demonstrates the true power of this magnificent sword strike.

Wo Yin's subsequent words were also tinged with obvious coldness.

"A pastime that didn't result in any deaths?"
"Then I'll join in for some fun too."

Only then did the onlookers, who felt cold sweat slowly trickling down their temples, realize something.

That silver light wasn't sword energy being emitted.

Instead, the moment Wo Yin drew his sword, an invisible and incredibly sharp fighting spirit emanated from his body!
This led to his reputation as the "Silver Light Falling Blade," a signature technique said to be able to cut through anything.

[One-Line Slash]
-
They realized that this swordsman was just one step away from becoming a "legendary" swordsman.

Having already used his signature technique.

Sensing the growing tension, the crowd instinctively took a few steps back.

To avoid being caught in the crossfire, Fang Yi, Luo Yi, and Wo Yin cleared a large area of ​​land for their opposing sides.

He glanced at Luo Yi.

After labeling it with the consensus that "going against Lord Woyin has led to a narrow path," it was revealed that this was a widely accepted claim.

He then turned his gaze to Fang Yi, who showed no reaction.

He muttered to himself to himself.

[Besides those who have wandered onto narrow roads, what's this idiot who doesn't know what's good for him?]

[How dare you stand there? Aren't you afraid of being caught in the crossfire?]

But clearly, no one dared to break the silence and say those words.
-
When Luo Yi looked down, he noticed the fine cracks rubbing against his toes.

Despite having notified the AI ​​to label that Woyin as "the one who provoked the protagonist" and classify him as someone who needed to be eliminated.

But not a trace of anger was visible on his face.

Instead, he shook his head at Fang Yi with a helpless expression.

He said with some regret.

"It seems we need to resolve some minor issues involving tedious rules before we can continue our conversation and have some fun."

Before he finished speaking, an even more magnificent silver light, shattering the air, rose up again and flew towards Luo Yi.

Clearly, Woyin is serious this time.

Wo Yin's chilling words echoed in the air once more.

"Rules? Boring!?"
"It seems my warning just now gave you some unwarranted misconceptions!"

"Then you should see it."
-
But in the next instant, Luo Yi did not dodge in a disheveled manner.

He just stood there motionless.

He tilted his head slightly, letting the approaching silver light freeze a mere inch in front of him.

Or rather, it's not that the silver light stopped.

He moved.

Luo Yi gently extended his left hand, his five fingers naturally spread out, and recklessly grasped at the silver light.

It may seem random, but it is the optimal result calculated by the AI.

puff--

The wind suddenly stopped, and gravel and dust exploded in front of him.

As the silver light faded, a wound appeared on his palm, deliberately revealing the skin and flesh, and beginning to bleed slightly.

But he didn't even frown.

"Well, since it's just for fun."

"Isn't this taking things a little too seriously?"

He slowly lowered his head, looking at the wound on his palm caused by the high-density battle qi.

He chuckled and shook his head at Wo Yin, whose expression had become unusually serious.

"Your sword strike... was quite sharp."

"If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be split in two."

As he spoke, his dark coat billowed, revealing a fine metallic pattern emerging from beneath his skin.

"It's a pity though."

“I am not one of them, even though I am a ‘God of War’.”

As Luo Yi's shoulder twitched slightly.

In the dim light, everyone seemed to see a blurry phantom of a giant beast emerge from behind him for a moment.

All who caught a glimpse of that phantom felt a deep, visceral tremor.

At this moment, Luo Yi no longer seemed like a "human being".

It's like a fighting machine wearing human skin, or a beast that has absorbed all of the beast's nature.

A strange beast, suddenly awakened within this body, has opened its eyes and is intent on hunting.

He moved his right hand slightly, and the short gun in his hand deformed in a very short instant.

The gun barrel had been transformed into a gauntlet and attached to his right hand.

A ferocious beast originating from interstellar aliens that once ravaged high-dimensional battlefields.

Later, it was imitated, understood, absorbed, and reconstructed within the Starry Sky Martial Arts System by that [Martial God].

The astonishing skills he 'mastered' through inheriting memories are ready to be unleashed.

Luo Yi looked at Wo Yin, a dangerous smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Your name is [Silver Light Blade]?"
"That sword strike was indeed impressive, living up to its reputation."

"Then I need to respond as well."

Sensing the abundant energy within my body.

Luo Yi delivered the verdict in a very calm manner.

"Therefore, I will not name this move."

"Because my action was merely a reminder to you not to draw your sword at me without reason again."

Having said that, he suddenly took a step forward.

The person instantly lost their physical form.

It obscured the exact outline. Boom!!!
Luo Yi threw a right punch.

It was as if stars had fallen here, and a colossal beast had suddenly descended.

The earth trembled violently.

The entire square, centered on Luo Yi, suddenly sank several inches.

In the blink of an eye, it was transformed into a depression equivalent to a miniature basin!

The bodies of the crowd who had been watching with their heads held high collapsed instantly, as if struck by a giant beast.

His shoulders and knees groaned as he struggled to bear the weight.

Even worse, some had blood trickling from their mouths and noses, and felt an extremely uncomfortable burning sensation throughout their bodies.

That's a sign of damage to the organs in the abdominal cavity.
-
But Woyin didn't have time to swing his longsword again.

He was forced back head-on by a powerful punch that felt like a meteor impact!

The armor on his body emitted a mournful metallic scraping sound, and the stone bricks beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.

He was forced back a step before he regained his balance.

However, Luo Yi, who had thrown the punch, did not press his advantage.

He simply twirled his wrist and moved his right hand around.

The words he spoke were unusually understated.

I'm holding back a bit.

"But next time, there's no guarantee we can keep it under control."

After saying that, he showed off his deliberately injured left hand.

He gestured towards Woyin with his lip.

"I was stabbed in the left hand."

"I think this is a fair and reasonable punishment, don't you think?"

Seeing Woyin's increasingly unpleasant expression.

Despite his disdain for the other party, he did it for the sake of his upcoming plans.

He still cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Woyin, showing a slight sign of yielding.

To avoid completely enraging the other party here.

"At the same time, since I have come here to participate in an important gathering."

"I now know that there are strong individuals like you here who set the rules."

"Then I am willing to abide by the town's rules for the time being."

"After all, the most urgent task is to proceed with the rally."

"Am I right, Captain Woyin?"

Hearing Luo Yi's conciliatory reply...

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Wo Yin gripped his sword but did not strike again.

Instead, he looked at Luo Yi and then glanced at the mercenaries around him who had come because of the gathering.

Finally, he put down his sword and replied stiffly through his nostrils, "The assembly will begin in ten minutes."

He then looked apologetically at Vaughn, who was still terrified, before preparing to leave.

Clearly, this garrison captain wanted to save face for his nephew.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, they were unwilling to engage in a full-scale war with the other side.

To wage a meaningless battle.

With the departure of Woyin.

The people around included many reincarnators and townspeople.

In that instant, he understood why the other party was able to stand there so openly.

This man, who calls himself the 'God of War,' is a true monster, whose strength is at least on par with that of Woyin.
-
After doing all this, he demonstrated some of his own strength and forced Luo Yi of Woyin to retreat.

The crotch area was already wet when he pulled it up.

Sma was incoherently shouting at Luo Yi, "Monster! Monster! You are a monster that crawled out of the shadows like those in the dungeons!"

He then turned to look at Fang Yi, who stood motionless in place, completely unaffected by his [Bionic Martial Arts].

He greeted them with great interest.

They began a performance that could be described as flawless.

"You are indeed different from those vulgar people; you are a respectable and powerful individual."

"Even I have to say, they are no less than me."

After praising the other party, Luo Yi then performed his 'goodwill' towards the other party and the group of reincarnators.

"So, could Captain Fang Yi possibly do this during the time before the rally begins?"

"Tell me the whole story of this dispute involving 3000 [old gold coins]."

As Luo Yi was speaking, he caught a glimpse of someone squeezing out of the crowd and a group of reincarnators behind him.

They even deliberately raised their voices.

"After all, even if it's a disgusting dog."

"As far as I'm concerned, as long as they follow me..."

"Then I have to give him a reasonable explanation!"

After setting the tone, Luo Yi kicked Sima while speaking, and then adopted a very peaceful attitude towards Fang Yi.

"Of course, for Captain Fang Yi."

"I would prefer this time before the rally begins."

"Try to resolve this feud by turning big issues into small ones and small issues into nothing."

"Let's turn hostility into friendship and take this opportunity to get to know you."

After lowering his stance, Luo Yi offered a seemingly plausible excuse to gather the reincarnators.

"After all, in this very strange mission, our biggest competitor is 'the other side' (the main god)."

"We need to work together with one heart and one mind to seize the greatest benefits."

"do you think so?"

This is a very reasonable demand.

They had conducted a 'soul search' to determine the location of the 'God of War'.

Fang Yi sensed a hint of malice emanating from the man, but unlike in the past, he did not readily accept the peace talks.

Instead, after flexing his hands, he gave a rather indifferent response.

"You said your name is Martial God?"

"Then I need to respond as well."

Luo Yi smiled and nodded, then assumed a punching stance, becoming humble.

"Although he is a God of War, it is just a somewhat far-fetched and empty title."

"You want to spar with me?"
"I won't refuse, nor will I use the rules of the space to impose punishment."

Using your fists to hide your true strength? Isn't that underestimating me?

Luo Yi had just finished speaking.

boom!
A crisp sound echoed in the air.

As Fang Yi's right palm transformed into a fist, forming a unified "Fangzheng Fist," he swung it forward into the air.

The body has spontaneously completed the 'external three harmonies' of hand and foot coordination, elbow and knee coordination, and shoulder and hip coordination.

It made my body leap with joy, giving rise to an extremely wonderful feeling of omnipotence.

He unleashed the "This Fist, Only the Right Method," a technique he had not yet fully mastered.

Furthermore, with the blessing of "Martial Arts Without Limits," he began to utilize "Remote Power Transmission" and "Gradual Acceleration" derived from other boxing techniques.

It is attached to the deceptive perception of "not for personal glory".

He unleashed a burst of energy, silently approaching Luo Yi's body.

Begin to probe for any abnormalities in the other person's body.

At the same time, Fang Yi also activated the [Human Elixir Technique], indicating that this [Relic] should record the other party's information.
-
[An unknown energy is approaching you and will hit you in 0.1 seconds. You have not reacted.]

[Immediately, I will take a self-disciplined action based on the principles of the [Martial God Database] and [Concealing One's Abilities].]

Hearing the prompt in his ear, Luo Yi had not yet made a move.

The body then began to move naturally.

【Bionic Martial Arts: Tai Sui Approaching the Abyss】

But before he could throw the punch, he felt a sudden pain in his raised right hand.

The bionic skeleton in the arm emitted a very ominous cracking sound, indicating that it was about to break.

Luo Yi was startled.

[It actually managed to fool my senses!?]

What kind of move is this?

How could you be faster than me!

The next moment, he heard Fang Yi's very calm response.

"It seems you're right."

"The title of 'Martial God' is indeed just a far-fetched and empty name for you!"

Hearing Fang Yi's response.

Luo Yi felt a surge of anger rising within him and instinctively clenched his fists.

The next moment, a reincarnator stepped out from the crowd and uttered these words.

But it instantly calmed him down and suppressed his anger.

"Turning swords into plowshares? Cooperating wholeheartedly under a bizarre mission."

"As a businessman who can profit from this, I am willing to pay some price to act as the middleman to resolve this feud."

"To facilitate this collaboration."

It was Li Zhi, who was smiling as he looked at Luo Yi, who had once made a promise to Fang Yi at that temporary base that he would repay the favor.
