I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Flesh and blood gradually faded away, replaced by cold metal. Every inch of skin transformed into armor, like stars falling to earth, forging this immortal body.

His upper body was covered in golden armor with irregular engravings, and a pair of huge golden horns on his head pointed straight to the sky.

The silver belt around Mingxian's waist was the finishing touch, with golden light bursting from the center like the first ray of dawn, celebrating the birth of new life and foreshadowing the upcoming battle.

hum!

The belt made a buzzing sound, which then seemed to resonate.

A war melody resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The melody was passionate and stirring, burning like a raging fire in every inch of the air, sweeping away the surrounding chill and fear.

“Ahhhh————!”

The evil spirits of the underworld on the playground let out mournful howls under the impact of this music. They seemed to feel a tremor from the depths of their souls and could not withstand the baptism of this extremely powerful and yang sound.

Seeing this, the Shinomiya family members seized the brief opening and struggled to break free from the clutches of the evil spirits of the underworld, fleeing in a disheveled but determined manner from the place that was about to become a battlefield.

Under the sky ignited by war music, Hayasaka Ai's mouth was slightly open.

what is this?

The situation was completely beyond her expectations.

The supernatural event was now clearly unfolding before their eyes.

Mingxian flashed forward, his arm armor emitting a golden light, and threw a punch at a Yellow Spring Demon.

boom!

With just one punch, the evil spirit was shattered, turning into golden light and vanishing from the world.

These evil spirits could not be defeated unless they were hit in vital areas such as the head or heart.

However, now it was shattered instantly with just one punch.

Mingxian slammed his right foot off the ground, his body leaping into the air, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, and instantly arrived in front of the horde of evil spirits from the underworld.

His flesh, now made of steel, exuded terrifying power. His spine, hidden beneath his armor, stretched out like a great dragon, and a dragon's roar erupted from his body.

Once the dragon's spine is opened, the world will be turned upside down!

As the dragon's roar resounded within his body, Mingxian's left leg suddenly shot up, tearing through the air and kicking a demon so hard that its soul was scattered.

After landing, it did not stop, but like an angry lion, it delivered a heavy punch to the evil spirit next to it.

The fist whistled, and the evil spirit shattered in response.

The sounds of punches and kicks rose and fell, never ceasing.

Under the terrifying power of the zither, the hordes of evil spirits from the underworld were as fragile as straw and were instantly wiped out.

Upon seeing this, the three-meter-tall Ugly Woman of the Underworld also reacted immediately.

The ugly face twisted into a grimace, its foul mouth gaping open, a breath of foul air billowing between its sharp teeth, which it suddenly exhaled toward Mingxian.

The aura of the underworld spread like a black, demonic mist, quickly enveloping the entire playground.

The earth's vitality was rapidly fading, and the surrounding vegetation withered in the blink of an eye, as if the end of the world had already arrived.

The string seemed oblivious to the sound.

As the demonic mist of Yomotsu Hirasaka enveloped the entire playground, stealing away all the light, it became difficult for people to see anything.

The dense aura of death also affected the senses.

boom!

The ugly woman from the underworld immediately took action.

Fast, very fast.

It was like a bolt of lightning, its speed beyond the reach of the human eye, even surpassing the capabilities of high-speed cameras.

Such speed is completely inconsistent with her size.

This is the power of a divine beast. A complex of buildings like Shuchiin would probably be completely crushed by a single claw from this ugly woman of the underworld.

Mingxian's compound eyes lit up with iridescent light. He shifted his body to the side, his steps tracing a smooth path. His elbows, like ancient wooden shields, were both tough and flexible, skillfully deflecting the Huangquan Ugly Woman's sharp claws.

With a swift turn, he cleverly used the power of the opponent's claws to complete an incredible maneuver in an instant, like a shooting star streaking across the night, arriving swiftly and silently beside the Ugly Woman of the Underworld.

With a backhand claw motion, his fingertips seemed to carry invisible sharpness, tearing towards the soft waist of the ugly woman from the underworld.

呲!

The ugly woman from the underworld had her skin pierced instantly. Skin that could withstand the power of machine gun fire was as fragile as tofu in front of the fingers that transformed from a zither string into an axe.

Despite being attacked, the Ugly Woman of the Underworld showed no sign of pain, remaining like an unconscious corpse.

With a tremor in his body, he took a step to the left as if Mount Tai had fallen to the ground, dissipating the force. At the same time, his left hand emerged from under his right elbow, and a series of sharp and rapid sounds, like the cry of a hawk, exploded and soared into the sky!

The sharp claws aimed at Mingxian's face.

Zizi!

The piercing sound caused pain to the eardrums of those around them.

The ugly woman from the underworld could easily tear apart the chariot's claws, but she couldn't budge the face of the armored figure covered by the zither; it only emitted a piercing sound.

The waist and hips work together, the shoulders and back move as one, and all the strength of the body gathers in the right elbow!

His elbow, as sharp as a cannon, struck the ugly woman from the underworld.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the ugly woman from the underworld was blasted backward, her body tumbling in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

Mingxian stood still, surrounded by the invisible roar of a dragon.

Golden runes appeared beneath its feet, resembling blazing golden flames.

The runes resembled lotus flowers and sharp swords.

The black fog that had enveloped the playground dissipated instantly.

It was defeated.

Although the scene was completely unrelated, in Hayasaka Ai's eyes, it inexplicably felt as if something had been shattered by the golden runes.

Under the golden light, the Shinomiya family members, who were on the verge of death from inhaling the demonic mist, miraculously regained their life.

This is the Golden Sword.

He was a subordinate god of Mithras.

This is the sword of wisdom.

It is also a sword that slays demons.

It can shatter karmic obstacles, sever divine power, and tear apart divine status.

The power of the evil spirits of the underworld was shattered.

It can sever the power of divine forces on all things, eliminate destruction, or heal others.

Zheng!

The horns on its head were fully extended.

The three pairs of horns resemble lotus flowers, or perhaps a crown.

The battle hymn that echoed between heaven and earth reached its climax. The sound was like a nail, fixing the evil spirits of the underworld in place, unable to make any move.

The power of the golden runes was fully injected into his body. Mingxian stomped his right foot on the ground, his body soaring into the air, and kicked towards the ugly woman from the Yellow Springs!

It looked like a golden comet streaking across the night sky.

A tremendous force swept in.

Suddenly, a sound echoed from the earth.

"This is troublesome. I can't let you ruin the sacrifice I arranged for my mother."

The ground ahead rose up in waves, like small mountains rising abruptly from the earth.

Countless mountain peaks sprang up like bamboo shoots, blocking Mingxian's way.

boom! boom! boom!

All the hills were smashed through, but the attack of the String was slowed down. Suddenly, a huge hand reached out from the ground beneath the ugly woman of the underworld and grabbed her, pulling her into the depths of the earth.

boom!

The entire earth trembled from the aftershocks of the zither's kick.

Mingxian's feet landed on the ground, but due to inertia, they still managed to slide a distance, the friction between the ground and his feet creating white smoke.

The fully extended horns on its head did not retract, and Mingxian looked down at the earth.

Divine power.

The fluctuations of divine power were sensed.

In an instant, the earth seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, and a majestic figure emerged from the ground, like a mountain awakening, carrying an invincible majesty.

A "hand" made of rocks, without the delicacy of fingers, just a huge rock stuck together, crashes down toward the zither.

The hammer-like "hand" struck Mingxian, and the air seemed to freeze at that moment, with only the sound of rocks rubbing against the air audible.

Clang!

Mingxian felt as if an arrow had struck his chest with a series of thuds. The force of the giant rock hand shook his golden breastplate, sending his body flying two hundred meters away. Yet, his feet remained firmly planted on the ground, carving two deep furrows into the earth.

A giant, hundreds of meters tall, rises from the ground, with only its upper body visible, while its lower body is buried deep underground.

The giant was made entirely of stone, covered with some mud, resembling a small mountain that blended into the land, with several trees growing on its back.

Upon seeing the other party, the horns that Mingxian had unfurled emitted light.

The Golden Sword discerns its true nature.

"The body of the mountain."

"Exactly!"

The giant spoke in a voice like that of a Noh actor: "I am Ōyamatsumi!"
