I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 307 Unreasonable Decapitation, Even Demons Feel a Chill! Seed Battle Champion—Uesugi Tetsu!

The Guiyuan Sword light, capable of erasing everything, was much faster and much more powerful than before.

The countless sword lights were all equivalent to the sword that had struck Erchi earlier, or the celestial light that had slain the great demon in the mountains at night.

But all those terrifying sword rains vanished.

The figure wearing the red hannya mask disappeared.

Before Yuan Jingshui could react, she was slammed onto the arena floor by a violent force that seemed to come from nowhere, pressing the entire arena several inches into the ground.

It far surpasses the previous Qi circulation, but it can only barely keep the body from being crushed in an instant.

I have to go...

Although she didn't understand what had happened, Yuan Jingshui prepared to enter the spatial sea of ​​matter without thinking, hoping to gain a chance to catch her breath.

But before this thought could even form, it was swiftly cut in two by Kaga Kiyomitsu's sword.

The viscous white and black liquid split the still water in two from the middle of the neck.

Beheaded.

Its speed was so fast that even Xiao Jiaben's sword couldn't react in time.

Where are we? What have we done?
This bizarre scene even sent chills down the spines of the ghosts and gods on the high platform who had recently been elevated by the aftershocks of the wave.

Because the speed of the knife was too fast and too unpredictable.

Even they wouldn't dare say they were 100% confident in dealing with it.

Below the realm of ghosts and gods... is there anything that can threaten them?

The worldview of some newcomers to the old school of ghosts and gods, who have been taught since childhood that "ghosts and gods are invincible," is beginning to waver slightly.

It took them decades, even centuries, some giving up everything, others abandoning everything before, to barely become the gods and spirits they longed for.

But now, someone is actually demonstrating through their actions that ghosts and gods are not necessarily absolutely superior to ghosts and gods...

"The spatial sea of ​​matter, you didn't enter?"

It was extremely rare for Yuan Jingshui to pause for a moment during the battle.

The next moment, she realized that she had been beheaded without even knowing when.

In the vision of the still water, the eyes beneath the mask of the red Hannya were devoid of joy or sorrow, as if they had seen through all the truths of the world. Kaga Kiyomitsu's blade shook off drops of mercury-like blood, its silver light sharp and cold.

It was truly overwhelming violence.

She sighed softly to herself.

Compared to me, Uesugi-kun is more like a demon.

My eldest sister's judgment is as accurate as ever.

Yuan Jingshui suddenly remembered that she had actually found herself again in the sea of ​​tribulation just because of a simple "Go for it".

So the girl couldn't help but laugh.

"So... I'm still a child."

Kaga Kiyomitsu's blade fell, aiming straight for Minamoto Shizumi's brow.

The unexpected incident made Uesugi Tetsu realize that finishing off an opponent was always necessary.

The blade tip had just pierced Yuan Jingshui's skin when it was firmly grasped by a hand wearing a black leather glove.

It's Nanjo Manami.

At the same time, the very familiar voice of the demon referee rang out: "The championship match is over!"

"The winner—"

The referee deliberately dragged out the sound, giving the audience ample time to react.

Then, with an extremely terrifying voice, he roared out this last, and only, name.
"Uesugi Tetsuya!!!"

“Uesugi Tetsu…Uesugi Tetsu…”

The referee's words echoed throughout the Sky City Arena, lingering for a long time.

The audience in the stadium were still stunned, seemingly not yet having reacted.

They looked like they were about to have a three-hundred-round battle, how did it end so suddenly?
—But some people have already expressed different sentiments.

Ririko squinted, recalling the dramatic ten or so seconds that had just passed, and clicked her tongue twice.

These two are only three and a half stars... How can ordinary demons, who are also three and a half stars, bear this?

Below her, Saito Ryuichi looked completely relaxed.

As expected, his strategy of "befriending Uesugi Tetsu" was correct from the very beginning.

He simply doesn't have many opportunities to speak with Uesugi Tetsuya, which has led to them only barely being acquainted.

He Maohui was overjoyed.

His lips were practically curled up to the sky.

If it weren't for so many people watching, he would have even wanted to jump up from his seat and sing a song.

Didn't you see that even Minamoto Shizumi, the fourth daughter of the Minamoto family who was almost transformed into a demon, was utterly defeated by Uesugi Tetsu, the current champion of the seeded battle?
—It's only natural that he, who had played all his cards, was defeated by a monster like Uesugi Tetsu! In fact, he lasted even longer than Minamoto Shizumi!

Win! Win big!

In this way, even if someone in the family has a reason to criticize him,

In the dim light, Yagyu Akira and Akechi Yuya both looked up at the man who was the center of attention on the stage.

One feels joy, the other feels admiration.

"Holy crap! Girl, did you see that? Uesugi-nii can win like that!"

Tamamo cheered, her arm around Chisa's neck, not even noticing her phone slipping from between her legs and falling to the ground: "She just instantly killed the opponent! Isn't that unbelievable! Who would have thought!"

"Cough cough cough! Sis... let go, I'm going to suffocate!"

After a long struggle, Chisa finally broke free from the strong man's naked chokehold.

Tamamo, who was standing nearby, quickly grabbed her phone, pulled out a photo of herself and Uesugi Tetsu, and pointed at it to the people around her, showing off, "Look, look, this is me!"
Then he received the comment from a passerby: "Whose little potato is this?"

Chisa's determination to become an apprentice deepened.

She understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a crossroads in her life, and a crucial turning point in her destiny.

Chisa has made up her mind—

No matter how difficult the challenges or obstacles Uesugi Tetsuya presents her with, she will do her best to overcome them!
Hozoin Inari, standing next to the girl, was stunned and even forgot to eat the snacks in his hand.

What the hell?

In a matter of seconds, he increased his strength to a level that even he couldn't comprehend, and then it was over.

The young monk's throat bobbed involuntarily.

Uesugi benefactor, Minamoto benefactor.

These two benefactors are truly... a bit too delicious.

—Motonobu Okabe didn't speak, nor did any surprise flash in his eyes.

Che is still as strong as ever.

It was stronger than anyone expected.

This is him... or rather, this is who he is.

It is only natural that the Great Onmyoji Che will win.

Motonobu Okabe never doubted the power of "Teresa".

She was just wondering, since Cheqiang was so powerful, why did he refuse to help his lord in his time of need?

They didn't even want to see each other one last time.

The four adjacent seats in the same row truly embodied the idea of ​​four seats, four ideas.

……

The afterglow of the setting sun once again filled the room after several months.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Ye Chun sat calmly in front of the large screen.

Only the index finger that left an afterimage on the left mouse button, the golden rocket that Kuku flew up, and the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress could prove that Ye Chun was in a great mood.

"I don't know if all these gifts I gave him will be of any help to him."

Ye Chun was somewhat worried.

Since we can't give anything else, we can only give money.

"—Ryuji, prepare a gift... no, two gifts."

Tokugawa Motoyasu chuckled, as if he himself were standing on the stage, having won the seeded tournament. The old man said unhurriedly, "One copy for Riko, and one copy for young Uesugi. They should be kept together."

"Yes, great grandfather."

Tokugawa Ryuji did not look to the side.

……

Nanjo Manami released her grip and skillfully reattached Minamoto Shizumi's head from her body, silencing the restless Hotarumaru who was standing nearby.

She explained in passing,

"Uesugi-kun, if you were to strike, it would be very difficult for me to save people..."

Before Nanjo Aimi could finish speaking, a drop of hot, sticky blood splattered onto her cheek.

blah blah...

Nanjo Ai used her other hand to wipe her face and then looked up.

Blood trickled from Uesugi Tetsuya's eye sockets, but then more blood overflowed from the edges of Akahana's mask.

In the blink of an eye, Uesugi Tetsuya in Nanjo Manami's eyes became a blood-soaked figure, with blood uncontrollably flowing from his pores every moment.

It was as if something had turned against me.

— This scene was quite exciting for the audience; they never expected the champion of the seeded battle to have such a powerful metabolism.

Noticing Nanjo Manami's gaze, Uesugi Tetsu sheathed his sword and explained casually,
"Slightly, a bit overloaded."

—The first time he obtained the Hundred-Eyed Demon incarnation, he opened all one hundred of his eyes without any preparation.

Physically, they can barely hold on.

But this was the first time Uesugi Tetsu had ever used telekinesis and he was going all out. It was also the first time he had ever "seen" the world through the eyes of Doumeki.

The sheer volume of information almost overwhelmed him.

Uesugi Tetsu closed all of the Hundred-Eyed Demon's Eyes, then withdrew the Hundred-Eyed Demon incarnation and took a breath.

The feeling of omnipotence vanished, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly overwhelmed me.

a little?

"At a time like this, it's best not to say such boastful things, right?"

As Nanjo Manami spoke, she subtly supported Uesugi Tetsuya's body as he was about to collapse, pretending to be giving him normal treatment.

In just a dozen or so breaths, Uesugi Tetsu recovered from the intense backlash and sense of disorientation.

"Nanjo-nee... thank you."

"It's nothing, go collect your prize, I won't bother you anymore."

Looking at Nanjo Aimi who wasn't even breathing heavily, Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but mentally mutter a complaint.

Nanjo's healing skills are far superior to those of the previous doctor, Oni-shin... Just like her combat abilities, she's a true all-rounder.

As he was healed, Yuan Jingshui, who had been beheaded, touched his unharmed neck and sat up again.

After staring at Minamoto no Shizumi for a while, whose expression surprisingly wasn't too disappointed, Uesugi Tetsu removed his red Hannya mask and addressed her by her first name.

"Yuan Jingshui, why didn't you continue your breakthrough to the Ghost God realm just now?"

"—Because I don't want to."

To Uesugi Tetsu's surprise, Minamoto Shizumi reached out and picked up Hotaru, who had fallen to the side: "In this world, why are there so many whys?"

"My elder sister's words of encouragement helped me find myself again when I was about to lose my way in the sea of ​​troubles... It was then that I suddenly understood."

Genji Shizumi lowered his head, gently inhaling the lingering, sticky smell of blood emanating from Hotaru.

"It turns out that I haven't grown at all all these years."

Uesugi Tetsu listened to her,

"If you want to catch up with your elder sister, you can't just make her your target; you have to surpass her."

"—That's why I refused the wrong promotion."

These words reminded Uesugi Tetsu of the sword light that had just flown in from the horizon.

It came like thunder, but fell as lightly as a feather.

And that speed at which it went from the edge of the field of vision to right in front of you in an instant... you don't even know where the sword was swung from.

Uesugi Tetsu opened his mouth, but finally asked the truth: "What if you, Ms. Gen, can never surpass your older sister in your entire life?"

"Then we can't surpass it."

To his surprise, Yuan Jingshui, who was determined not to lose, was surprisingly open-minded.

Minamoto Shizumizu stood up from the ground and smiled when she saw his expression: "Uesugi-kun, I just want to hold onto the possibility of surpassing that Minamoto Shinsui, that's all."

"After all, no one can predict the future."

He narrowly escaped death because of a single word of encouragement, and also gained the key to the gate to the supernatural through that same word.

But now, Yuan Jingshui has deliberately discarded this key.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Tetsuya suddenly asked,
"What if Lord Yuanxinshui didn't say 'Keep it up,' or if that 'Keep it up' didn't come, or if it came too early or too late?"

"Then I'll die."

Yuan Jingshui's eyes held a tranquility born from having witnessed the immense terror between life and death: "Once you fall completely into the sea of ​​calamity, no one can save you."

In other words, different from others.

What Yuan Jingshui faced was real death.

"People must pay the price for their choices and bear the corresponding consequences."

Yuan Jingshui said, "In order to win, I am prepared to face death."

"I didn't know that a simple 'keep going' would have this effect, and I'm afraid even my older sister doesn't know..."

Maybe she just saw how hard I was working and decided to give me some encouragement on a whim.

At this point, the girl smiled with relief.

"So, the fact that I'm still alive and able to talk to you, Uesugi-kun, is just pure luck."

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head: "Good luck is also a kind of strength."

"If Uesugi-kun says so, then it must be so."

Yuan Jingshui did not argue with him.

She deflated like a punctured balloon, her aura returning from the so-called "half-step ghost god" level to three and a half stars.

However, it did not cause any aftereffects of failing to break through to the spirits.

Luck...

Uesugi Tetsu touched the golden ball bell hanging at his waist, then looked at the referee and the audience in the stadium who were staring at him intently.

He was about to take a step forward when he heard a voice calling out from behind him in a rising tone.

"Uesugi-kun."

Yuan Shizumi, cradling the motionless Hotaru, smiled radiantly at him, her cheeks flushed.

"It's been a pleasure fighting you to this point."

"Ah."

Ignoring the flood of pop-up notifications, Uesugi Tetsuya replied just as sincerely.
"Me too."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the piercing referee and the very center of the stadium.

Because of the end of the seeding battle, countless notifications suddenly popped up in Yu Guangli's mind.

The mountain of proficiency increases, even breakthrough prompts, attribute boosts from the Bloodlust of the Crimson Prajna, strange changes in the gacha pool after obtaining the three-star Half-Eyed Demon incarnation, changes in sword skills and sword principles, and even rewards from seed battles...

There are so many more.

But these hints won't disappear; they'll just stay put and wait quietly, so they're irrelevant for now.

Now, the important thing is—

Uesugi Tetsu walked slowly to the referee's side, and then to the first seat in the rankings, which was now bathed in golden light and located in the very center of the arena...

No, it should now be said that it is next to the throne.

The remaining 127 seats were arranged around him, like stars in a row.

Uesugi Tetsu calmly looked up.

Hundreds of thousands of spectators stood up and cheered like a tsunami.

The leader has returned to his position, and all the stars are gathered around him!
