Demon Capital Slayer

Chapter 132, the end of a section.

A fierce wind howled, and the scene before my eyes suddenly became incredibly clear.

It's not about using your eyes, but your heart.

I saw it on my sword.

With his highly focused attention and the amplification brought by the Inugami Binding, the young swordsman used his mind or spirit to perceive the outside world for the first time.

Thus, he was able to see heaven and earth.

Her eyes, which were originally as blue and green as a jade, were now completely unfocused, like two deep pools, revealing boundless mystery in the stillness of an ancient well, as if to melt away all light.

It was quieter than ever before.

Conversely, the Dream Sword, unleashed at full power, emitted boundless light, channeling all its spiritual energy, including that transmitted from the Inugami Milo, into this Yin Yi technique.

The sword, originally limited by the techniques and its own power, began to extend beyond its limits.

However, this sword of light also became extremely unstable. Its outer contour resembled an undulating flame-shaped sword, surging and emitting dazzling white light, until it extended into a great sword of light of astonishing length, which was dragged by its master to tear through the atmosphere and ignite the sky!
What's even more difficult to look at is the will that permeates it, a vast determination that seems capable of cleaving the entire world in two!

It is the ultimate movement.

A large shadow suddenly appeared, and the rapidly falling black ship cast a destructive shadow downwards. The magic reactor could explode at any moment, at which point the entire Edo would burn and head towards its end.

This terrifying shadow also loomed over the young swordsman's lonely and insignificant figure.

Immediately afterwards, the sword in his hand burst forth with a blazing light, completely dispelling the shadow.

It's just a broken ship, watch me split it in two!
cut--

Without shouts or cries, Yu Jian silently unleashed a full-force sword strike towards the sky!
The light pierced through the shadows, as if it were about to slice through the clouds drifting across the sky!
Kara la la la la la la la la la la la la——

The armor twisted, the planks shattered, and the ship's toughest keel snapped in two, accompanied by a shower of sparks. Even the massive, heavy floating rock was cleaved open.

Within 0.01 seconds before the impact, Yujian swung his sword and severed the keel of the black ship!
Losing this crucial support, the entire floating battleship completely cracked under the influence of various factors, breaking into two pieces that brushed past Yu Jian. He could even feel the heat emanating from the burning wooden deck.

Immediately afterwards, the head of the great general, which soared into the sky like an anti-aircraft cannon or a glass ball thrown out of a child's hand, crashed into the two pieces of wreckage with a whooshing sound, knocking them away. Due to the reaction force, it itself was also quickly bounced towards the deserted wasteland on the outskirts of Tokyo.

At this point, things have developed exactly as expected.

Unexpectedly, one piece of the black ship's wreckage veered off course and did not fall into Tokyo Bay (then called Edo Bay), but instead landed in a parabolic arc towards the shore of the Edogawa River.

Yu Jian stared blankly at this scene, remaining unresponsive for a long time.

He felt as if his body was connected to a high-powered water pump, his physical strength was being rapidly depleted, and his mind was equally exhausted. He felt waves of dull pain, as if his brain was being repeatedly pounded by a hammer.

"It's not too bad, there's no one over there anyway." Milo's tired voice came from his shoulder. He was still sticking out his tongue, looking exhausted.

"But I have another piece of bad news."

"What?" Yu Jian asked blankly.

"I am exhausted."

"Huh?" Yu Jian, who had just exhausted himself, was still a little confused and didn't understand the meaning behind Milo's words for a moment.

"I can no longer fly," Milo sighed.

"Huh?" Yu Jian immediately woke up, his expression extremely serious.

"Can you fly, kid?" the dog asked, casting a hopeful look at the person.

"...No." Yu Jian slowly shook his head.

Just as the man and the dog were about to make a very embarrassing cry for help.

The sound of flapping wings came from not far away. Turning around, I saw a blonde vampire girl hugging Akemi.

Yu Jian's gaze sharpened, and Jin Mu Kui instinctively shuddered.

Then, her face flushed red, and she flapped her wings even faster, beginning to serve as a makeshift flying vehicle.

This feeling was both blissful and exhausting. She was holding the revered Akemi in her arms, but her ankle was being held by Mitsurugi, whom she couldn't refuse in any way, and Mitsurugi had the dog god Milo hanging around his neck.

The three people and the dog slowly descended in an extremely strange posture.

Before they could even land, the wreckage of the black ship heading towards the Edogawa River landed first.

With a loud 'boom,' followed by a series of explosions, countless colorful sparks shot into the sky. The fireworks prepared for the fireworks festival were ignited by the explosions, and various fireworks roared and flew in all directions, their brilliant flames painting half the sky with vibrant colors.

Then, an even more violent explosion blew countless dust particles into the sky, tumbling and turning into a mushroom cloud that enveloped all the fireworks, which were then dyed with all sorts of messy colors from the inside, looking like a giant, colorful mushroom.

Ah, the magic reactor exploded...

Suddenly, it dawned on Mikado. Such a huge 'firework' could be clearly seen even from as far away as Edo's inner castle...

"Akemi-nee, the fireworks are so beautiful!" Nishiki Aoi was stunned for a moment, then screamed like a child.

"Yes, it really is beautiful." Hayashihara Akemi, having shed her white feathers, also exclaimed in the same way.

The songstress's face was illuminated by the fireworks, making her appear exceptionally beautiful.

Then, she lowered her head and met Yu Jian's eyes.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

This scene was frozen in time.

The whole world suddenly became incredibly quiet.

"Milosan?" Yujian asked in surprise.

"The show's over!" Milo's voice suddenly rose.

"Get ready, we're leaving!"

"But which way should we go?"

"Quickly activate your spiritual power and sense the present world! The fate of this mortal realm is about to begin its next cycle, and we, as outsiders, will be highlighted. Referring to the principle of regression, as long as we seize the opportunity to sense the present world, the 'inertial attraction' from there will pull us back!"

"This..." Although he didn't understand what the principle of regression was, Yu Jian immediately did as he was told.

His spiritual power was almost depleted, but fortunately, he had recovered some of it during the time he spent watching the fireworks.

The thought flashed through his mind, and the spiritual energy controlled by his consciousness immediately began to vibrate.

The white-haired youth was surrounded by the sounds of wind and thunder.

Sure enough, an external force began to pull on the sword.

"How do you still have so much spiritual power?" Milo looked at Yu Jian in surprise.

"Too many? No, everyone grab me immediately!"

Before they could answer, the external force intensified rapidly without warning. As soon as Yu Jian finished speaking, the three people and the dog were like a spaceship entering a warp drive, flying away from this ordinary world at an unimaginable speed.

Yu Jian only had time to glance back once.

Then he saw a skeleton that was larger than he could have imagined.

It was a crane that had completely turned into a skeleton, and the Changshi that the group had just left was just a tiny bubble floating inside its skull.

Crane Woman's Fate...

The sword instantly came to mind with this word, and then he felt a familiar gravity.

"Ouch!" Jinmu Kui cried out in pain as she was used as a cushion and stepped on at the bottom.

As for the others...
Mikoto wrapped his arms around Akemi Hayashibara in a princess carry, while Milo, like an oversized white felt hat, lay sprawled on his head.

"We're back?" the white-haired young swordsman asked in surprise.

Then, he noticed several unfamiliar eyes quickly turning towards him.

[Fingerprint verification successful, authorization granted. User - Yamato Masami, permission granted to draw sword.]

"Don't move!"

With a loud shout, Yu Jian saw the gleaming tip of a blade pointed at him.

It was a black longsword with a very futuristic design, its overall shape being square and exuding a modern industrial style.

Bolts can be seen on the guard, and there is a corresponding safety locking mechanism on the scabbard. An indicator light is lit on the side, and a small LCD panel is installed, which is currently flashing red and blue lights similar to those of a police light.

"Whoa—" The white-haired swordsman, who was holding a girl instead of a weapon, exclaimed in surprise.

On the contrary, the young man holding the long knife seemed to be frightened, his body visibly trembling slightly, and he appeared extremely nervous.

"Hey, newbie, what are you doing!" Another young man with a square face stepped forward and pressed down the knife.

He had beads of cold sweat on his forehead, which he tried to hide, but he was clearly very nervous.

"So, what happened?"

Yu Jian asked in a strange tone.
