I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 305 The Infinite Health of the King of the Ninja! About to be defeated... Breakthrough to a Demon God in five seconds?

Is Uesugi Tetsu's shikigami still alive?
Then kill him.

It's just a minor issue.

Yuan Jingshui's idea is simple, direct, and useful in most cases.

This can be seen from the fact that before Renou's first attack even landed, Yuan Jingshui had already riddled her body with more than a dozen holes.

But this time, it's different.

Even though his two-foot-tall body was in a tattered state, his movements did not slow down in the slightest.

Stab it!

With a flick of her wrist, Minamoto no Shizumizu easily dismembered the cross-shaped spear that was about to touch her head, allowing Hotaru, who was originally only good at mid-to-long-range combat, to do so.

His swordsmanship was highly skilled, which speaks volumes.

The one who could respond to the still water was the two-foot-tall man, who, even when empty-handed, did not back down at all but instead became extremely excited.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Niou exclaimed in admiration, his hands, which had been gripping the spear shaft, now clasped together.

All gathered together, about to fall!
—He's not much stronger than before, so why does he act like nothing happened even after suffering such a serious injury?
Furthermore, Hotarumaru is almost unable to absorb anything from this shikigami named Nishaku.

Yuan Jingshui frowned deeply, wanting to retreat, but he hesitated because of Uesugi Tetsu, who was standing still a little distance away.

The answer is "invincible time".

Because of the new talent "Illusory Vajra Body".

Not only does Erchi have no vital points, but within ten seconds after triggering "Diamond Body" when its health reaches zero, all external damage received will be reduced by 99%.

Just now, when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, Erchi took the initiative to use the "Renwang" talent to reduce his health to zero. So the next moment, he transformed into "Eight-Foot Renwang" with 50% health.

In this way, Minamoto Shizumi would have to deal 50 times the damage of a two-foot-long full health bar in Nioh form to barely kill her.

Until then, Erchi's combat power will remain at its peak!
Within ten seconds, Erchi, with such a bug-like ability, is practically immortal!

Therefore, Yuan Jingshui's set of deadly moves hit all the targets, causing Erchi to lose 3% of his health.

In the past, that would have been enough to kill her five or six times over.

Not only that, Er Chi's health is constantly recovering... the lost health is almost instantly restored.

Yuan Jingshui was unaware of these things.

She attributed it to the fact that her sword was not fast enough or sharp enough.

Just a second before Niou's fist landed, Genji Shizumi remained calm and thoughtful.

—Uesugi Tetsuya didn't move, which meant he was waiting for me to enter the spatial sea of ​​matter.

When Uesugi Tetsu enters his explosive state, he can use an ability similar to "pre-reading" to detect his own movements.

If one tries to avoid entering the spatial sea of ​​matter here, it's tantamount to falling into a trap.

Yuan Jingshui had already made up her mind.

—Then, let's turn the tables and completely eliminate Uesugi Tetsu's shikigami here.

Hotarumaru raised his hand and slashed into the very center of the mallet formed by Nichi's two hands in an instant, then cleaved Nichi in two with lightning speed!
Such injuries are beyond the help of even the gods and spirits!
In Ke Yuanjingshui's eyes, the pale gold fingers that separated and then healed in an instant continued their momentum, still heading straight for her right shoulder.

The blade did indeed have the tactile feel of cutting into solid matter.

I should have definitely split that shikigami in two!

—That last strike could have killed the previous two feet twice over!

boom!
The hammer fell, creating a small gap in the circulation of Qi on Yuan Jingshui's body, causing her to kneel on one knee, unwilling to enter the spatial sea of ​​matter.

Spiderweb-like cracks erupted from her knees, extending for tens of meters.

Blood trickled from the corner of Gen Shizuku's mouth and was quickly absorbed by the incantation.

Seeing that Erchi had made a difference with his single blow, he understood.

Conjurious weapons consume health points, and it's simply not worth trading your health for a weapon that will be instantly shattered by Minamoto no Shizuku before the ten-second invincibility period ends!
Now, she herself is the best weapon!

Niou smiled blissfully, as if he had discovered a new continent, and used this to suppress wave after wave of pain that felt like it was tearing his body apart.

—The Vajra Body can reduce 99% of damage, but the pain will not be reduced.

—It may be overcome by the will of Niou.

"I will subdue you before Lord Che makes a move."

Faced with Niou's declaration, Minamoto no Shizumi remained noncommittal.

The firefly trembled.

The azure glow densely covered every inch of a two-foot-tall adult's body within one-hundredth to one-thousandth of a normal person's breathing time!
A hundred swords in an instant!
His entire body had been slashed over a hundred times, inside and out. Even ten Grand Masters would have been dead by now.

But what gave Minamoto no Shizusui the answer was Niou's fist!

boom!
Boom boom!

Boom boom boom!
The health bar gradually decreased under the shimmering sword light, then rapidly increased as the peripheral vision caught the breath of Uesugi Che.

Ignoring the constantly erupting azure light, the pale golden fist slammed into Yuan Jingshui's body again and again.

Her face gradually turned pale, and she couldn't help coughing up blood repeatedly.

"Come on, Miss Yuan!" Niou's fist fell like a machine gun firing 3,600 revolutions per second. "You think you're so good at cutting down enemies!"

Yuan Jingshui, unwilling to retreat an inch, was sluggish, but the firefly in her hand shone even brighter.

They want to seize this opportunity to usurp this body, which is one in a century and has unlimited potential!
"Get back!"

Yuan Jingshui once again cleaved the two-foot-tall man into more than a dozen pieces, ignoring the dull pain from his internal wounds, and unusually opened his mouth to roar.

Those eyes, which were usually as calm as ice crystals, were now tinged with a hint of madness.

Without warning, a breathtakingly dark sword light suddenly appeared.

"die!"

The black light swept across Nioh's body and instantly devoured nearly half of her current health, more than 30%!
The two-foot-tall man was startled, but he still did not stop what he was doing.

It's like a pile driver that never stops!
You won't die from this?
Even ordinary ghosts and gods would probably be unable to withstand this sword strike without injury.

The slightly weaker punch slammed Yuan Jingshui's astonished gaze back to the ground, causing the girl's head to wedge into the earth, completely disrupting her balance for the first time.

So Uesugi Tetsu stepped forward and entered the battlefield at this perfect moment.

A righteous two-on-one battle has begun.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Yuan Jingshui is now at a disadvantage.

But what's the reason?

The audience neither knew nor cared; they simply erupted in waves of cheers that grew louder and louder.

Chisa and Tamamo were stunned. They had thought that the delicate girl who had been following Uesugi Tetsuya was just there to create a good atmosphere, but they never expected her to be so fierce!
On the contestant's stand, Higashiyama Kei, Aonosuke, and a group of Onmyoji who had contracted with their shikigami couldn't help but look at their shikigami and shake their heads in disappointment.

Look at them, and then look at you!

Other people's shikigami can withstand hundreds of blows and still beat up Minamoto no Shizuku with great vigor. You guys, let alone withstand five or ten blows, can you even survive three blows without dying?!
The shikigami remained silent.

Even if we had ten lives, we couldn't do that...

Ye Chun, who was slurping instant noodles in front of the screen, was stunned and didn't even realize what was happening, his glasses dangling in mid-air.

This is... that little Erchi who carried himself in the tunnel?
She blinked, finding it hard to connect the muscular giant, radiating gold and laughing wildly, with the girl in the white dress who barely reached her thigh.

Long time no see... Everyone has changed.

……

Before being beheaded, Yuan Jingshui retreated into the spatial sea of ​​matter.

She can only stay in the spatial sea of ​​matter for a maximum of three seconds at a time.

Going to lose.

We're going to lose.

dying.

"This is what Yuan Jingshui thought to himself, his right eye vacant."

Just because of that utterly wrong decision made a few seconds ago.

But she quickly dismissed the thought as soon as it crossed her mind.

—These things are all in the past, and there's no point in dwelling on them.

"Giggle..."

Hotarumaru's seductive, distorted voice echoed in Minamoto Shizumi's mind for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

It mocked,
"Useless trash, give me your body... I can win..."

"Shut up."

Yuan Jingshui's other eye, soaked in blood, was cold.
"If you keep making noise, even if I die, I will throw you into a corner of the spatial sea, so that you won't encounter a living thing for thousands or tens of thousands of years."

Hotarumaru's long, narrow blade trembled slightly, and he fell silent.

He's behaved now. One second later.

After a brief yet lengthy period of deliberation, Yuan Jingshui, having made up her mind, held the blade horizontally before her.

"If you want your body, I'll give it to you."

The firefly trembled violently.

"But you must always remember."

Yuan Jingshui lowered her eyes and said, word by word,

You can only take what I give you.

On the stage, three seconds pass in the blink of an eye.

Uesugi Tetsuya, who had already determined the landing point of Minamoto Shizumizu a second earlier using his future vision, had already completed charging up his power and swung down Kaga Kiyomitsu.

clang!
Then the azure blade appeared, striking first despite being behind, and with unprecedented and bizarre force, it knocked Uesugi Tetsuya backward.

Not right.

Uesugi Tetsu immediately thought.

Even without using any secret techniques, Genji's power should not have increased against the trend after being injured.

—She's not Prajna!
Under his intense gaze, the girl suddenly looked up, revealing empty whites of her eyes and a smile that seemed to carry the viscous scent of blood.

Off the field, Nanjo Manami looked up at the sky and thoughtfully uttered an "oh".

"Breaking through in the heat of battle shows they don't even consider our Uesugi-kun human."

Kujou Oborozuki couldn't help but laugh.

The ghosts and spirits around him had their own opinions, but none of them expressed their approval.

In the darkness, Yin Yang Quan Zhu watched the girl fighting to the death and sighed helplessly.
"Still waters..."

"Yuan Jingshui, they've changed people?"

—Has Hotarumaru turned the tables and taken control of you?
This was Uesugi Tetsu's first thought upon seeing such a smile.

But he immediately rejected it.

Because... there was a gradually changing, eerie feeling emanating from Yuan Jingshui, who was laughing wildly and fearlessly fighting two opponents.

It is a kind of fundamental change.

But it's different from Ririko's breakthrough.

Under the influence of the over-limit state, Uesugi Tetsuya's mind worked very quickly, and he understood everything in just a moment.

Genjiro Shizuku is attempting to break through the barriers between spirits and deities!
Originally, there was absolutely no way she could have done such a thing in a battle with herself.

Because Uesugi Tetsu didn't consider himself to be the kind of villainous NPC who would obediently watch the other party complete their transformation before making a move, like in magical girl anime.

But with Hotaru, it can be done.

The protective energy instantly dispelled the numbness in his arm, and Kaga Kiyomitsu added another small wound to Minamoto Shizumi's skin.

Despite the increasing injuries, "Yuan Jingshui's" attacks became even more fierce and skillful.

It's like gradually adapting to this new body.

Although Uesugi Tetsu didn't understand what was inside Hotarumaru, after only a second or two of contact, he felt that the swordsmanship was even more experienced than that of Minamoto Shizumi himself.

And it is insane and evil.

If it weren't for Uesugi Tetsu's superior stats and the fact that Minamoto Shizumi hadn't suffered many injuries, he would probably be the one suffering a series of defeats right now.

"To separate the mind from the body..."

Uesugi Tetsuya's thoughts raced, his hands never stopping.

If one practices breathing techniques in an attempt to transcend the realm of ghosts and spirits, it is to subject oneself and soul to the "ephemeral sea of ​​suffering."

Humans are like mayflies, crossing the sea of ​​calamity.

—If one fails, at best one's cultivation will regress significantly, and one will be entangled by calamities and inner demons for life; at worst one's spirit and soul will collapse, turning into a part of the so-called "Sea of ​​Calamity".

Typically, after reaching this peak, samurai would spend a great deal of time seeking a place where their body and mind were in perfect harmony before attempting another breakthrough.

Those who have the means will use calming items or even have real ghosts or gods back them up, so that they can escape with their lives if they fail to break through.

However, it is almost impossible to find a demon or god who can break through in battle like Minamoto no Shizumizu.

Because those who did that all died.

In order to win, Yuan Jingshui will stop at nothing.

Even if it's my own life.

They are a worthy opponent.

"Two feet, come here."

Uesugi Tetsu said in his heartstrings, "Make a shield."

The Vajra Body technique will end in 0.5 seconds.

Upon receiving the order, the two-foot-tall man, who had been attacking from behind Minamoto no Shizumizu, swiftly moved to stand in front of Uesugi Tetsuya.

Then Niou opened his arms, wanting to hold Minamoto Shizumi tightly.

boom!
"Yuan Jingshui" grinned maliciously and kicked the two-foot-tall man to the other side of the arena, shattering her plans.

That's enough.

The pale blade pierced through the azure sky, thrusting towards Yuan Jingshui's temple.

呲呲.

The firefly spun, changing from vertical to horizontal, forcefully pushing Kaga Kiyomitsu to a slight angle.

The blade pierced through Minamoto Shizumizu's left ear.

But this minor injury has absolutely no effect on Yuan Jingshui now!
"Hey!"

With their faces almost touching, "Minamoto no Shizumizu" released Hotarumaru's hand for the first time.

With his five fingers clenched into a fist, he swung that pure black fist toward Uesugi Tetsuya's chin.

Guiyuan...

Uesugi Tetsu's pupils contracted.

Can't escape.

At the very least, I can't save my chin.

At the same moment, he could feel the aura of the nearby Yuan Jingshui rising violently exponentially!
Before the fist even landed, the sheer aura alone was enough to bind Uesugi Tetsuya to the spot.

A breakthrough is imminent!
Only a few seconds have passed, and the breakthrough of the demon god has come so quickly!
Before Uesugi Tetsuya could even process his astonishment, the violent and surging aura suddenly stopped.

Then, it plummeted back down as quickly as it had come.

Before their eyes, "Yuan Jingshui's" fist stopped, and his originally manic face turned regretful and mocking.

Uesugi Tetsu blinked.

Genjiro Shizumi, did he fail?
"Pity."

"Yuan Jingshui" murmured hoarsely, staring at Uesugi Tetsu with his remaining pupils, and suddenly felt that there was nothing left to fight.

Anyway, Yuan Jingshui is going to die.

"Minamoto no Shizumizu," or rather, Hotaru's will, controlling her body, said softly.
"I think……"

Before the last words could be uttered, Yuan Jingshui swallowed them back.

"Shut up..."

The will of the young girl whimpered and roared.

She hasn't lost yet.

Hotaru remained silent, merely absorbing the fragmented portion of the receiving source, still water, so that it could become a small part of her.

Like countless owners in the past.

But at this moment.

A magnificent and dazzling beam of light suddenly appeared from the dark depths of the sky, traversing an arc dozens of miles long in the blink of an eye, and arriving at the open-air space of the venue.

As the astonished gazes of the ghosts and gods, it plunged straight down!

A thousand miles away, a sword comes from the west!
The intense light shrank rapidly to the size of a finger as it fell, eventually landing lightly on the edge of the arena steps.

They were only half an inch away from the protective shield.

That familiar, aloof sword intent, so familiar to Yuan Jingshui, rose powerfully, and after meeting everyone, it transformed into two simple words.

--come on.

　In the next chapter, the sweet, soft, and adorable Hyakume-chan will be here!
