Song Changli is a man who came from the war years, so the fighting and killing of this scale in the Longcheng boxing ring is nothing to him.
He simply asked Yang Sheng calmly, "Young man, even at a point like this, are you still going to continue fighting?"
"certainly."
Yang Sheng said calmly, "The outcome outside the arena has been decided, but the life-and-death struggle on the arena is far from over."
Yagyu Shinichi was kicked by Yang Sheng, and his internal organs were in excruciating pain, while a slightly sweet taste rose in his throat.
But the murderous intent in his eyes intensified, and with a sudden tap of his toes, he leaped into the air.
The loose kimono concealed the blade, making it impossible for Yang Sheng to discern where the knife had struck.
Yagyu Shinkage-ryu Nainden: Tengu Shou!
Yang Sheng closed his eyes and raised his sword to slash horizontally.
The place where the killing intent and malevolent energy were most intense was precisely that spot!
The moment the swords clashed, a cold white light flashed from the Imperial Guard's saber.
With a loud 'bang', the samurai sword in Yagyu Shinichi's hand, the 'Kotetsu', which had been crafted by a master craftsman, shattered!
Imperial Guard Saber: Sharp Edge!
As the battle drags on, its sharpness increases, enabling it to cut through all weapons of rarity or lower!
Yang Sheng did not know the quality of Yagyu Shinichi's katana, but it was clearly rare.
Yagyu Shinichi twisted his body, narrowly avoiding Yang Sheng's blade, and fell to the ground.
However, his chest was cut by fragments from the shattered Tiger Tess, and blood seeped out, submerging a blackish-green jade pendant on his chest.
Soaked in Yagyu Shinichi's blood, the jade pendant vibrated, and wisps of black malevolent energy instantly swirled around Yagyu Shinichi.
As the almost tangible black aura gradually coalesced into a phantom of a samurai clad in tunic armor, it attached itself to Shinichi Yagyu's body.
As Yagyu Shinichi raised his hand, the illusory samurai also raised his hand, black flames swirling around it, transforming into a black flame samurai sword that appeared in the illusory figure's hand.
Yang Sheng remained silent for a moment before uttering a single word.
"grass!"
This is supposed to be traditional Chinese martial arts combat, what is this thing in front of me?
Strangely, the people around the boxing ring didn't seem to see it. Only Song Changli, who was closest, sensed something was wrong from the gusts of cold wind, but everything in front of him was very blurry.
"Worldline fluctuation anomaly alert!"
The world is experiencing power fluctuations exceeding its limits, which could cause fluctuations in the worldline and distort parallel worlds once again.
Temporarily grant the current reincarnator exploration privileges.
The cold, mechanical voice conveyed urgency, yet its tone remained completely unwavering.
At the same time, a red light flashed before Yang Sheng's eyes, and lines of blood-red text appeared.
Name: Shinichi Yagyu
Strength Assessment: Late Stage of Nine Revolutions (Temporary Enhancement)
Specializations: Shotokan-ryu Karate specialization 87%, Yagyu Shinkage-ryu specialization 90%.
Status: Possessed by a ghost
(Yagyu Jubei commissioned an Onmyoji to create a magical artifact that seals the evil spirit of a samurai. Once it comes into contact with the blood of the Yagyu family, it will possess the spirit and kill its opponent.)
The cost is the continuous depletion of vital energy and blood; prolonged use will cause irreversible damage to the host.
The eyes of Shinichi Yagyu, who was possessed by a ghost, turned crimson.
As the ghostly spirit slashed down, Yang Sheng raised his sword to block, but was blasted away by a powerful force, as if he had crashed into a dump truck.
When Yang Sheng obtained the Imperial Guard Saber, his strength was assessed as mid-stage of the ninth level.
This assessment should be a combination of his own strength, expertise, or other factors.
At this time, Yagyu Shinichi was already at the late stage of the Ninth Rank, and his power was so great that it had already exceeded the limits of normal people!
Yang Sheng struggled to his feet, but Yagyu Shinichi slashed at him again, forcing Yang Sheng to roll and dodge on the ground.
After being possessed by a ghost, Shinichi Yagyu seemed to have lost most of his rationality, and he was even unable to use the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu.
However, the power after being possessed by a ghost is too strong, so techniques and the like are no longer important.
Moreover, every time Yang Sheng dodged, he felt a cold, sinister force seeping into his body, causing him to slow down more and more.
In the end, Yang Sheng was unable to dodge in time and was cleaved in two by the sword, crashing into the ropes of the ring.
Blood slowly seeped from the hand gripping the Imperial Guard's sword. Yang Sheng looked around.
He knew he couldn't kill the thing on his own, so he wanted to see if Chai Jiu and his group had dealt with Limpy Hao and get a gun to try it out.
If all else fails, use hand grenades and rocket launchers; these things are not uncommon in Kowloon Walled City.
He refused to believe that this thing couldn't be exorcised through physical exorcism!
However, at that moment, as Yang Sheng's blood seeped into the hilt of the sword, a golden light burst forth from the Imperial Guard Sword.
Golden light grew and swirled around Yang Sheng, transforming into a phantom image of a golden-armored warrior.
The Spirit of Soldiers!
Whether it was stained by Yang Sheng's blood or stimulated by the ghostly spirit of the warrior before him, the soldier's spirit on the Imperial Guard's sword finally erupted.
"When everyone is of one mind, even mountains can be shaken!"
Loyalty and righteousness are the highest virtues, reaching the heavens and the earth!
My lord is more loving to me than my own parents!
Those who violate military law will not be free!
The commands are clear, and rewards and punishments are readily apparent!
Despite the dangers of water and fire, how dare I linger!
Report to the Emperor above, and save the common people below!
"Slay all the Japanese invaders, and I'll seek a title of nobility!"
One voice, seemingly countless, faintly emanated from the soldier's spirit, exuding unparalleled power and soaring battle intent!
The spirit of the soldier within the Imperial Guard Saber was not left by a soldier of Qi Jiguang's army, but rather by the spirits of its successive owners who died fighting against Japanese pirates and remained within the saber.
