Zongman, starting from the invasion of the Red World Demon King

The last time such a great battle took place, the first generation Flame-Haired Burning Eyes sacrificed themselves to temporarily release all the power of the God of Punishment, allowing his true form to appear and defeat all the Red World Demon Kings in one fell swoop, including the strongest Red World Demon King under the Demon God - the Ring of Hades Yasis.

Shana, who has not even caught up with the first generation in terms of combat power, also has this trump card, but once the time comes to use this power, the probability of death is so great that the God of Punishment cannot imagine.

(In the first volume of the novel, the trump card Jiuling Siqi Ba Er 8 was still used. Although the Hunter should not be as strong as the Ring of the Dark World, Shana is not as strong as the first generation now, and there are no other Fire Mist teammates to help her. In the eyes of the God of Punishment, the difficulty is still hellish.)

Shana's eyes showed determination, and she grasped the pendant on her chest with one hand: "...! I will use it when necessary!"

In the pendant, the will of the God of Heavenly Punishment fell silent.

Even if the God of Punishment did not tell Shana the prequel - the tragic record of the first generations.

But obviously this huge commotion also made this clever child realize that the hunter who used this technique could no longer be dealt with simply by relying on his half-baked strength.

"..."

……

Bang! In the center of the other battlefield.

"It's over - Heroic Spirit, Sasaki Kojiro!" The hunter endured a huge burden, but with a smile of victory on his lips, he even started to open champagne at halftime.

"Although due to insufficient torch preparation, I can only half-unleash the spell to cover the entire city, but in the face of the immense power of existence gathered in this city—! The strength of an individual is far too insignificant. Let me witness your final, pitiful struggle, and amidst your wailing—celebrate my Marianne's rebirth!"

The original ritual was intended to be shared with Marianne, to reach eternity together, but now - it didn't matter - as long as his beloved Marianne could still be a real life, it was enough to give it all to her alone!!

Chapter 75: This child's future could have been a life of eternal fame! (Additional update)

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being so unreasonable. You could have communicated in a more peaceful way." The hunter's tone was extremely indifferent.

He'd temporarily stopped eating humans, just wanting to leave! These heroic spirits were just like the fire mist, chasing him like mad dogs! So, he'd die here.

Afterwards, a rain of fire flew up into the sky and continued to gather towards the hunters below. Within the seal, countless cities visible to the naked eye began to shatter and turned into the power of existence and were absorbed.

This horrific scene made people forget that they could even breathe, and they could only look trembling in fear.

The scene before our eyes, as if the world was about to be destroyed, was far more shocking than the grand scene when the hunter took action before!

"You bastard--! Stop it!" Bang, Shana, who had arrived at some point, slashed at the Red World Demon King in mid-air with a sword.

The divine tool in his hand burns with flames that carry the judgment of the God of Heaven's Punishment. It has the power to specifically attack the apostles of the Red World and is even the only power in the Red World that has the legal basis for the concept of killing gods.

but--

"Blue Sky (Azure Ring)——!" The hunter elegantly extended his index finger wearing a white glove, placed it to his lips and gently gestured for silence. The next moment, the ring on his finger emitted a halo!

Crash~!! The flames that were supposed to strike the hunter were forcibly dissipated, and the blade was deflected.

"What?!" Shana was stunned.

At this moment, she had begun to fall from mid-air and became a sitting duck. The hunter waved his hand and countless bullets rained down on her.

Yan flashed and slashed upward into the air, blocking the attacks.

"Be careful... - He has a treasure in his hand that can avoid fire. Let me do it. The power of your fire mist is completely restrained by it." Yan smiled back at him and winked at him at an angle that others could not see.

The next moment, his inner voice was conveyed to Shana through the Dharma of Freedom.

"It's me, Saigo Homura."

Shana and God of Punishment: "?!" x2

In this form, Yan's spirit base has taken possession of a new hero? Does he have some special physique?

Wait, who is that young Mozart over there?

After confirming with their eyes, they realized that the Mozart they knew was not someone they were familiar with. This should be the real Heroic Spirit Mozart. That matter no longer mattered. Now—

Shana said stubbornly: "——!! I want to fight with you! Subjugating the disciples is my mission, and it has nothing to do with you!"

The God of Heavenly Punishment also spoke majestically, "This child's original future... could have been an artist of eternal renown, a prominent politician of a nation, a valiant general, a criminal guilty of heinous crimes... or even the mother of any of these people... This child is precisely the noble being who will possess the power to harbor the existence of the King of Heavenly Tribulation Fire, transcending time and space! Xi... cough, human, rest assured that she will fight behind you. She is far more resilient than you imagine!"

The old father, the God of Heavenly Punishment, had long recognized the talent of Saigo Homura. Originally, he was a little worried whether Shana could defeat the hunters who launched the city-devouring attack alone, but now he is very protective of his child.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with Yan's overprotection and underestimation of his contractors, fearing that Yan would look down on the cabbages he grew.

I acknowledge you, but if you underestimate our girl and underestimate the vision of the God of Heaven's Punishment - your old father will be angry too!

Hearing these words, Yan closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again, his heart overflowing with joy. Perhaps it was just right—!

The Shana he knew was always such a fearless and brave girl.

Even in the face of a terrifying enemy, she will bravely stand up and face it with you. She is a lovely girl who is worthy of your trust and your life.

Yan drew his sword and pointed it at the hunter in the sky: "Then - let's fight together!"

Ding~!! The bell rang again, as if the mythical battle had begun again.

The amount of fire rain in the sky has increased tenfold. This time it is really like facing a rain attack from tens of thousands of Noble Phantasms.

"Come on if you can keep up!"

After saying that, Yan brandished his sword again and took the initiative to meet him, and Shana followed closely behind with determination.

If it was the original Shana, facing this terrifying AOE, she could only passively take the beating, but this time with Yan in front blocking most of the attacks, she - can do it!

Thousand Hands Wushuang was activated again! Shana then cooperated to cut down those blind spots that Yan couldn't take care of. Under Yan's control, Mozart finally took action and began to increase the status of the two!

"As expected—you're here too, Fire Mist Warrior! To defeat our nemesis. You can still withstand such an attack, but what about them?"

The hunter's eyes turned to the humans in the colorful areas.

Those who were targeted felt terrified for a moment!

"A sealed world can be repaired later using the power of existence, but individuals who can still move within this causal barrier are truly dead once they die, with no possibility of resurrection. Do you want to try? Protecting so many innocent and vulnerable lives from my attack..."

"Despicable!" Shana gritted her teeth.

"No, facing the God of Heaven's Punishment's Contractor and two heroes from human history, I am the one who wants to cry out for injustice. So—! Are you ready to accept the greatest test, human?"

He suddenly opened his eyes and revealed an extremely sharp and cold look. Although the hunter looked like a very polite nobleman, in fact, he was still the king of the red world who did not regard human life as human life.

It's just crushing a group of insects. If I can kill my enemy because of the lives of these insects, then it can be considered that my work has been valuable.

Crash~~!

This time, the entire sky lit up, no longer targeting Yan and the others alone, but also ordinary people and buildings in the colored area.

"What?!" The humans below felt the threat of death and screamed like crazy.

After hearing this, they seemed to understand. After all this time, it seemed that the person who was enveloped by the time-stopping red barrier from the beginning was the lucky one?

Originally, when they saw those people being enveloped and unable to move, and unable to avoid the attacks, they felt a little pity for them.

Unlike them who can still be protected by Sasaki Kojiro, those people can only die silently and cannot even control their own lives. It is really sad!

result--?

The situation has been reversed - the 9 flags of the Air Parachute Cage are the clowns.

At this moment, these people seemed to understand why Sasaki Kojiro only saved them when he saw the hunter's attack affected their side, but completely ignored other places.

This sole loophole, this dissonance, this point that I had not thought about carefully before, finally had an answer.

Chapter 76: The strongest and undefeated versus the weakest and unwinnable, is it a ghost behind the scenes?!

“Ahh, don’t… don’t kill me…!”

"Someone, someone can come and save us!"

"Woo woo, I'm still young, I don't want to die yet--!!!"

It would be fine if they didn't know anything, but knowing that they were killed by time stop might mean they could be revived. How could these people bear this feeling of disappointment?

——! Suddenly I didn't want to die anymore. Forefathers, help me! Lord Sasaki Kojiro, help me! At this moment, everyone's face was ashen, as if they wanted to cry for help but were too embarrassed, regretting it so much that their intestines turned green.

Wow~!

Fire rain fell from the sky at the same time.

Through the camera screen, many viewers on the other side of the island country saw this and fell into a dead silence.

Before, Sasa Kojiro had to use his amazing martial arts of Thousand Hands to barely block those attacks, but what about the situation now?

People felt that they shouldn't ask for too much. Lord Kojiro had already done his best. Even with the mysterious girl who had just appeared and the fire mist warrior who specifically targeted the Red World, the two of them could only barely block the barrage of bullets that was ten times more powerful.

In this situation where it is difficult for humans to protect themselves, they only hope that Lord Sasaki Kojiro can preserve his strength and kill that so-called Red World Demon King. This is the best outcome.

And countless people, including the parties themselves, have tacitly accepted that the desperate outcome is death.

At this time, a figure stood out again, and he broke the large sword in his hand into two.

Then he held the two broken sections of the blade with one hand each, and did not let go even though the sharp blade pierced his hand and it was bleeding.

"...!"

"Divine Tool—Re-refined!"

Has it reached its limit? No, that's not the case.

He had anticipated similar scenarios long ago. However, his strength template was not at all vulnerable to such a large-scale competition. Even if the force was multiplied a hundredfold, as long as it wasn't concentrated on a single, brutal force, he could withstand it!

Thousand Hands Unparalleled wasn't the limit. In battle, he had already evolved to the next level, almost there—! Yan felt like he was on the verge of fully mastering this power template.

Let this storm become a stepping stone for his evolution.

A fiery fighting spirit flashed in Yan's eyes, and Shana seemed to see something.

Yan had told her before that when the spirit base is in possession, the body will have an adaptation phase, and once it is fully adapted, it will be able to master all of its power. Could it be that this time the spirit base still has some spare power that has never been displayed?

Wow! (VIII) Chat with a private tutor!

At this moment, the new divine tools have turned into two small swords, one long and one short, with one bright red handle and the other azure blue handle.

"This, this posture——is it?"

Anyone familiar with local Bushido and Japanese kendo would recognize it—the weapons of varying lengths, the opening grip of the sword—it was simply too familiar! The look of despair gradually faded, replaced by astonishment.

Not surprise, but astonishment.

As the place where the sword master Miyamoto Musashi and the legendary swordsman Sasaki Kojiro fought each other, there is a scenic spot in Japan called Ganryu Island!

There are still two sculptures on the island holding weapons and attacking each other.

The one holding the huge katana - the famous 3-foot-3-inch sword Bizen Nagafune Nagamitsu, making a vertical chopping gesture is Kojiro, but at this moment, Homura, as Sasaki Kojiro, shows the gesture of another person.

"That is... could it be?"

"No, that's impossible. Isn't that the famous move of Kojiro-sama's nemesis?"

"Two days and one class!!!" Some people were shocked and lost their voices. For ordinary people, this scene was too shocking.

Young Mozart spoke again, "Mastering countless martial arts, facing thousands of battles without a single victory, this man never seeks a rematch afterward. He sees no honor—only the sheer power of becoming stronger! No one knows... his strength has already, unknowingly, surpassed countless those who have defeated him."

"Since we've seen this move before, it's only natural that we can use it again. Given that man's will, I'm afraid he'll continue swinging his sword as a ghost even after death, trying to master his opponent's moves and surpass them!"

How can it be?

But—it was amazing. Even someone as sharp-tongued as Mozart was praising it so much that it was rare. People looked at the scene with a feeling of being touched.

Is this why he can become the strongest?

Yan also spoke at this moment: "If one knife is not enough to intercept, then use two! If a thousand hands are not enough, then use ten thousand hands--!!!"

"Ten thousand... hands?" Marian in the hunter's arms gritted her teeth and lost her voice. Time and time again, are the heroic spirits such monsters that people can't see the limit and can still break through? Can her master really get the final victory?

"Even a loser like Sasaki Kojiro can do this—keep swinging your sword. If you keep doing this—one day, you'll succeed... I've been doing this all along, and before I knew it, I'd already come all the way here."

“——You bastard!”

The rain of fire that was about to fall along with his thoughts hesitated.

I originally thought I still had the upper hand, but when faced with a mere human, I had the illusion that I might be defeated!

Doesn’t this guy call himself a loser? He has failed in his first challenge against countless enemies.

But facing the Red World Demon King who is beyond the reach of humans, they have to win their first victory against him in one go.

——How arrogant!!

The small bell in his hand creaked, and the hunter's face became even uglier.

Marian, who was in his arms, saw this and shouted, "Master will definitely win. You definitely will. You've never lost a battle before. You killed the Red World Demon King, who was invincible to the Fire Mist Warriors. While the other disciples were regarded as prey by those tools, you became the one who hunted the Fire Mist Warriors! That's why those tools fearfully call you the Hunter! You always win! You, the strongest and undefeated, will never lose to the weakest and undefeated loser!"

The strongest is invincible? The weakest is invincible? This example was heard not only by the Demon King but also by everyone else, and they all felt a sudden gloom in their hearts.

Marian's encouragement made the hunter smile knowingly. That's right - he was the strongest and undefeated, while the opponent was the weakest and unwinnable!

I will not lose, Marianne - the enemy is just bluffing.
