Having already exceeded 400 meters per second, Yang Ming's speed was faster than that of a bullet. Ordinary people could not even see his figure clearly, only hear a terrifying whooshing sound in their ears, and catch a fleeting glimpse of the extremely cold blade.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have lost their composure by now.
The Five Elders are able to stand on equal footing with the Four Emperors not only because they are born into the noble Celestial Dragon family, but also because each of them is one of the strongest people in the world.
As mentioned earlier, there are countless sword styles in this world, and each style is different.
Within the Celestial Dragon family to which Jaigolusia Satan belongs, there is a swordsmanship school that has been passed down for eight hundred years. During these eight hundred years, it has not become stagnant, but rather, through the additions and modifications of successive generations of outstanding individuals, it has taken the essence and discarded the dross, making this swordsmanship increasingly perfect.
This swordsmanship is called Yinliu.
This is the ultimate swordsmanship that their Celestial Dragon ancestor comprehended after witnessing the transformations of a spider.
"Secret Technique! Tengu's Secret Technique!"
With a low murmur from Jaigollucia Satan, the airspace over this area suddenly darkened, as if a celestial dog were devouring the moon, and the surrounding area became pitch black.
The next instant, Yang Ming felt a fierce killing move, unlike any other swordsman, surging towards him.
Chapter 291 When power reaches its limit, the next test will be the human heart.
Yinliu is an ancient swordsmanship school passed down for eight hundred years by the Jaigolusia Satan Holy Family, and its level of swordsmanship differs from that circulating in this sea today.
The swordsmanship levels circulating on this sea today are those familiar to the general public, namely:
1. Listen to the breath of all things and possess the power to cut through steel.
Second, it possesses the power to cut down ships.
Third, it possesses a power that cannot be severed.
IV. The power to split the sea.
If one can reach the fourth level, one can successfully advance to become a renowned swordsman.
Within the ancient Satan Holy Family, swordsmanship is divided into three levels:
I. Elementary Level
II. Superior.
Third, all are permitted to be transmitted without permission.
This third level means gaining the qualification to tell others the name of your school of thought.
In the initial stage, one needs to practice the Living Man Sword technique.
"We win by not killing, but by not being killed."
This is the philosophy followed in the initial stage, focusing on defensive techniques.
When you reach the advanced stage, you will need to practice the Dead Man's Blade.
"If you have no doubt about the first strike, you will surely fail the second."
At this stage, the principle is that every strike must draw blood.
There are five key points: speed, strength, footwork, breathing, and the howl of a monkey.
Above this is the stage of universal transmission of knowledge. Because everyone's life experiences in the previous two stages are different, their development in this stage will also be different.
Among the Five Elders, Jaigolusia Satan has always been responsible for eliminating threats to the World Government, often referred to as doing the dirty work. This has led to his fighting style being characterized by darkness and ruthlessness.
The moment Jaigollucia Satan Saint suddenly drew his sword, the surrounding area instantly turned pitch black, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
Countless flashes of blades, like a pack of wolves lurking in the darkness, pounced madly on Yang Ming, eager to tear a piece of flesh from this delicious prey.
"Vacuum multi-layered ice wall!"
With a casual slash, Yang Ming created layers upon layers of crystalline ice walls around Hyōrinmaru. Each ice wall was hexagonal, which could withstand external impacts to the greatest extent and had a very strong stability.
The invisible blade of light struck the crystal ice wall, causing ice shards to fly everywhere, scattering in all directions. In an instant, countless cracks appeared, and soon the entire crystal ice wall shattered into countless fragments.
Amidst the pervasive chill, Yang Ming suddenly shot out, his target pointing directly at a certain location in the darkness.
The darkness alone was clearly no match for this young general.
"It's really troublesome!"
Jaigolusia Satan Saint spat inwardly, but had no choice but to step forward.
Don't assume he's a lazy bum who's lived a life of luxury all year round just because he's old and always stays in the office.
In fact, those who can stand out from their pig-like Celestial Dragon kin and be valued by Lord Im are no ordinary people. Jaigolusia Satan is one of the best among them. If he didn't want to show his face and become known to everyone, Hawkeye Mihawk's position as the world's greatest swordsman would probably be shaken.
"Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!"
In this dark environment devoid of light, Yang Ming and Jaigolusia Satan Saint's figures flashed and clashed rapidly, their speed reaching inhuman levels. Ordinary people could not even catch a glimpse of them, and could only hear a series of sounds of clashing swords.
Sparks flew as the blades clashed violently.
Feeling the immense force emanating from the blade, Jaigolusia Satan Saint frowned slightly.
Although he already knew that Yang Ming was quite strong, otherwise he would not have been able to defeat and kill Kaido of the Beasts, it was only when he came into close contact with Yang Ming that Jaigolsia Satan truly felt that the other party was unfathomable.
He's only thirteen years old. Could it be that he started cultivating from the womb?
Jaygolucia Satan Saint expressed deep skepticism on this point.
Jaigolusia Satan has lived for so many years, even with the help of new drugs developed by the World Government's research institutions, his actual age is much older than many people imagine. In the past years, what hasn't he experienced, what hasn't he met?
Such a monstrous existence has accomplished in just over a decade what others have taken decades to achieve, possessing terrifying strength and exceptional ability to manage subordinates; otherwise, his generals would not have followed him so devotedly.
If such a person could be used by the World Government, obediently wearing a collar and becoming the Celestial Dragons' watchdog, that would be an excellent thing. It would deter the endless stream of pirates on this sea, as well as other restless forces.
However, if this person harbors disloyal intentions, he will become a major concern for the World Government, far more destructive than Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
After all, back then, Monkey D. Dragon hadn't even become a Marine Admiral yet, but Yang Ming had already become a Marine Admiral, and was even a rising star in the Navy with the potential to succeed Sengoku as Fleet Admiral!
"This child must not be allowed to live!"
A murderous glint flashed in Jaigolusia Satan's eyes. His intense Armament Haki was almost tangible, giving off a sense of impending doom.
"One-Sword Style! Sarutobi Ichizatsu!"
A terrifying, earth-shattering slash suddenly erupted, the horrifying blade of light, hundreds of meters long, seemed to cleave the entire world in two. Even the unlucky souls caught in the blast were caught off guard and, before they could even let out a scream, were sliced into minced meat and vanished from the world.
The turbulent sea was split in two, and the seawater was forced to push out to both sides, opening up a wide path for the seabed. Even the creatures on the seabed were annihilated into ashes, and there was no life anywhere in its path.
Although the steel warship had intentionally avoided the core of the battle after the two clashed, keeping a distance of more than 500 meters from their location, the moment that terrifying blade of light appeared, the entire steel warship, including everyone on board, was inevitably affected.
Wave after wave crashed against the steel warship, sending up sprays ten meters high on both sides of the ship. The seawater, like raindrops, washed over the deck again and again, making the entire deck wet and almost impossible to stand on.
If it weren't for the extremely heavy tonnage of the steel warship, it would probably have capsized long ago under the impact of such unstable waves, and everyone would have been swept into the bottomless whirlpool.
Tina placed one of her slender hands on the railing and, using her Paramecia-type Cage-Cage Fruit ability, created iron fences that were inverted on the steel warship like birdcages. These fences provided a place for her comrades who were fighting the enemy on the deck to hold on, and also prevented them from being overturned by the ship's ups and downs.
After finishing her own tasks, Tina took a moment to glance at the place where Yang Ming and Jaigollucia Satan Saint were fighting. Looking at that terrifying ravine that was probably many meters long, her heart sank.
"Are the Five Elders that strong?"
Like many others, Tina mistakenly believed that the Five Elders were a bunch of good-for-nothings who only got to their positions because of their privileged backgrounds and access to resources.
Unexpectedly, the Five Elders' fighting power is no less than that of the Four Emperors.
Tina had no choice but to trust Yang Ming.
From the moment Yang Ming began his scheme to establish the Kingdom of Alabasta, Jaigolusia Satan had to die.
Otherwise, if word gets out, not only will Yang Ming die, but his generals will die, and even their immediate family members within three generations will suffer the same fate and go to the underworld together.
The practice of punishing nine generations of a family has always been a staple of feudal states.
Otherwise, the World Government would not have been able to stand until now. It is precisely because of such terrifying methods that any force or individual who dares to overthrow the World Government is afraid to act rashly.
Tina secretly felt a chill for Yang Ming, and then, together with her other generals, she took to the sky with lightning speed to engage in a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the air force flying high in the sky.
Facing another skilled knife user, Yang Ming felt a long-lost surge of excitement.
The feeling was like meeting a worthy opponent, a match made in heaven, and you wanted to do anything to kill the other person.
Yang Ming moved with the agility of a ghost, swiftly and swiftly dodging Jaigolusia Satan Saint's attacks, while simultaneously retaliating with a killing move no less powerful than his opponent's.
"Steel-cutting flash!"
"Atomic Slash!"
Flames, thunder, storms, and frost all transformed into terrible natural disasters, suddenly descending upon this sea area.
“When power reaches its limit, the next test is the human heart. Thanks to you, I was able to come to this uncharted territory. Here, the heart and soul are like a cloud, and birth, aging, sickness, and death, all things in the universe are within our grasp.”
Meeting the incredulous gaze of Jaigolusia Satan, Yang Ming cleaved him in two with a single stroke, then slowly murmured:
"Swastika!"
"Daigurren Hyōrinmaru!"
As soon as Yang Ming finished speaking, an unprecedented frost dragon suddenly appeared in the sky.
The dragon raised its head high and let out a loud roar.
"hold head high!!!"
The frost dragon suddenly turned around and swooped down onto Yang Ming. In an instant, it transformed into a pair of ice dragon wings on Yang Ming's back. The ice dragon wings unfurled freely in mid-air. The entire body was composed of twelve ice crystal lotus petals. Not only were they crystal clear, but they also emitted a zero-degree low temperature.
The terrifying zero-degree temperature emanated a chilling aura, and the surrounding air temperature dropped at a visible rate, with frost and mist spreading out due to the rapid drop.
Even Jaigolusia Satan was inevitably covered with a thin layer of frost, which was dispersed by the tremor of his powerful body.
Chapter 292 Fierce Clash with the Five Elders
The Kingdom of Alabasta, with its capital Albana.
Luffy and his crew are engaged in a fierce battle with Shuzo, with both sides exchanging blows in a lively and exciting manner.
Facing Commodore Shuzo, Luffy and his crew felt unprecedented pressure.
Even though Luffy had activated Gear Second, he still felt that the person in front of him was like an insurmountable wall of steel, giving him immense pressure and despair.
Whether it was due to the high temperature in the desert or the long, scorching battle, Luffy and his crew were drenched in sweat, their clothes soaked through, looking as if they had just been pulled out of the sea, and they looked extremely disheveled.
Luffy raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his chin, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that, having just left the beginner village of the East Sea and thinking he had mastered the second-gear technique and could roam freely across the world, he would encounter another Waterloo here.
