Becoming a god in a low-key way in the supernatural world

Soon, the Taoist true energy still showed an extremely powerful restraining effect on the parts of the monster's body that were not protected by the iron armor, making each wound as easy as cutting butter with a hot knife!

The monster couldn't figure out what was happening, but that didn't stop it from feeling pain, and it kept making helpless howls.

"Clang!" Suddenly, a short, clearly abnormal sound of hammering rang out.

The monster finally couldn't defend itself any longer, lost its balance, the center gate opened, and it staggered backward.

The throat that had been protected all along was finally exposed to Kotegawa Kami.

Defensive!

Kotekawa Kami was unusually calm and his mind was incredibly clear. He didn't rush to thrust forward, but instead took a step forward, flipped his longsword, and slammed the tip into the monster's chest, causing it to lose its balance and stagger backward.

He then used the rebounding force to draw a Tai Chi line with his body, channeling his energy through his waist, twisting all his strength into one, and suddenly turned around to thrust back, unleashing a truly lightning-fast and unstoppable sword strike!

Xuanmen Sword: Plum Blossom Sprouts Jade!

"Pfft!"

The longsword pierced the monster's throat in an instant, and the monster stiffened, letting out a groan.

Kotekawa Kami didn't stop there; after all, his opponent wasn't human, but a monster! Who knew if he could retaliate after having his throat pierced by a sword!

The opportunity was fleeting, so he instantly changed his tactics and let out a low shout.

In the dim light, two fleeting flashes of sword light seemed to cross each other.

In an instant, the monster's head, pierced through the throat by the longsword, fell to the ground and rolled a long way.

Two swords, one kill!

The monster's body froze completely, its body collapsing limply to its knees and falling forward.

Seeing the sharp look between his brows, Kotekawa Kami brandished his longsword, pulled it back to his front, gripped the hilt with both hands, bent his knees, and thrust the sword tip downwards, pinning the monster's head to the ground!

Almost at the same time, the ancient battlefield around them shattered like a broken mirror, turning into a shower of light.

The oppressive feeling from before vanished instantly.

He returned to the familiar woods, and the fresh air made him take a deep breath.

We won!

Oh my god... May you live a long and blessed life! It's so good to be alive!

Chapter Seven: Ultimate Intent - Impermanence of the Four Directions (Part Two)

Under the sunlight, the monster's body turned into black dust inch by inch, and along with the broken sword, it vanished completely without leaving a trace.

They're dead. This time they're completely wiped out.

It's the kind of competition that even a god couldn't compete with.

Kotegawa Kami stared at all of this in astonishment.

Good heavens, if it weren't for the numerous nicks and chips on the blade of his longsword, he might have really thought he was having a nightmare!

Ok?

Kamiko Kotekawa stared blankly at the numerous large and small nicks on the blade, and the fine cracks that covered the entire sword...

In an instant, my heart ached so much that I couldn't breathe.

He had just finished his installment plan and spent nearly four years buying the longsword!

"My sword! My sword!"

The monster that he had been hacking away at for so long, using every ounce of his strength to finally kill, not only left him with nothing, but also ruined his manhood.

Get up, let's fight again!

Furutekawa Kami was driven to rage by his incompetence.

After a period of mental breakdown, he gritted his teeth, bent down with immense heartache to pick up the sword sheath, took it with him to the river to retrieve his schoolbag, and stepped out of the woods.

If his sword is broken and he encounters another monster like the one before, he'll have to die along with it.

After climbing over several fences that were over a meter high and going around the shrine, he returned to the village's territory. He plopped down on the ground, calmed his mind, and focused his attention.

If there's anything that can bring him even a sliver of comfort right now, it's probably the experience gained from killing monsters.

In the boundless darkness, four orbs of light of different colors floated silently.

Kotegawa Kami was completely bewildered.

That's strange, didn't he only kill one monster?

How come there are so many?

Could it be... that the monster being slashed was special? Did it have four lives?

Looking at these orbs of light, his eyes suddenly lit up again.

If we had that many, it wouldn't seem like such a loss! Killing one is equivalent to killing four...

No, no, no, it's too early to say. We need to see first to know...

He started checking his account...

The first ball of light flickered with a hazy blue glow, and upon closer inspection, it was the "experience" he knew best.

With a thought, the azure light shattered instantly and merged into the boundless darkness.

Soon, a big "National Day" popped into my mind.

[Merit: 11]

"Eleven? You've gone up two levels!" Kotekawa Kami's eyes widened in disbelief, overwhelmed by a sense of surprise.

For the past five years, he has been training day and night, and has spent more than half a year killing monsters and monsters. Only now has he managed to reach the point where killing just one monster has saved him more than half a year of effort.

He felt much better and looked at the second ball of light.

This ball of light was also very large, and its color was white, a color never seen before.

The white light shattered silently.

Kami Kotekawa held his breath, keeping a close eye on any new developments that might occur.

A line of ancient-style characters quickly appeared.

[Sword: Nineteen]

Kotekawa Kami was taken aback, then realized what was happening.

It turns out that the white light can enhance swordsmanship!

That monster's swordsmanship is quite strong!

It's probably because he's missing an arm and an eye that he doesn't seem that strong... which is actually a relief.

Kami Kotekawa subconsciously reached for the hilt of his sword. In an instant, many new insights and images flashed through his mind... He had figured out all the monster's moves from before.

This monster's methods are truly insidious and ruthless. It doesn't care about anything, killing for the sake of killing, and many of its methods are even mutually destructive. It's a terrifying killing technique.

Such killing skills are rarely mastered through mere hard work...

Kotegawa Kami felt slightly uncomfortable; he was a Taoist disciple and didn't have such a strong bloodlust.

A few minutes later, the third pale orange orb of light also shattered.

The ancient, large characters reappeared, but this time there were finally some new changes.

[Bow: Nine]

Kotekawa Kami stared wide-eyed for a long while before confirming that he hadn't misread it.

"Bow? Archery? Arrows?"

That monster can also use a bow and arrow?

And this strong? It's on par with his skill level!

Wow, thank goodness it only has one arm!

Kotekawa Kami felt both relieved and apprehensive.

Fortunately, the opponent was not capable of using a bow and arrow, which is why they came out to fight him. Otherwise, they could have been hiding in the shadows and a single arrow would have killed him.

Archers have always been an extremely dangerous profession.

...What exactly is that monster?

Kotekawa Kami frowned deeply, and at the same time woke up with a start.

This world is truly dangerous, the monsters are terrifying, and he is weak enough.

If the opponent has both arms intact this time and launches a sneak attack from the shadows, he really won't be able to defend against it, and he won't even have time to react before he's doomed.

"We must be extra careful from now on! There's definitely more than one of those monsters, and it's impossible for them all to be crippled!"

At that moment, Kotegawa Kami felt deeply grateful that he was still alive.

After his initial fear subsided, he shattered the last crimson orb of light.

This time, a completely new set of ancient-style characters emerges: 【极意·四方无常】 (The Ultimate Meaning: Impermanence of All Directions)

Kotekawa Kami's eyes widened again.

Even though I can't figure out what it is, I inexplicably feel it's amazing, right?

"Ultimate technique? Could it be that move from just now?"

Good heavens, what on earth is going on?

Why did killing a monster yield so many items?

He swallowed hard, composed himself, and lowered his gaze again, scanning over the newly appeared lines of ancient characters.
