The golden light that exploded above the holy land slowly dissipated. Jialin Sheng and Zhan Guo looked at the bottomless ravine in front of Ji Guoyuan and stood there in a daze.
Shanks' figure disappeared without a trace, and his breath had completely disappeared from the holy land.
Zhan Guo looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment, feeling that what was happening before his eyes seemed a little absurd.
Shanks is extremely powerful. Even without the ability to see and kill, he can still cause great trouble to Sengoku just by relying on his Conqueror's Haki. But even such a person can't withstand a single blow from Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
Compared to the last time I met Yuichiro Tsugakuni, Yuichiro Tsugakuni's strength has improved significantly now.
This kind of thing is actually incomprehensible in the eyes of Zhan Guo. He has been traveling across the sea for so many years and has seen countless geniuses, but this is the first time he has seen someone as brilliant as Tsugumi Yoshiichi.
The growth of anyone's strength cannot be endless. There are limits to the physical body, the limits to the development of devil fruit abilities, and the limits to domineering power.
The reason why humans are human is that they have limits. There are always some things that humans cannot accomplish no matter how hard they try.
In this world, there is always a state that humans cannot reach through hard work.
However, the shackles of human talent seemed to be non-existent on Tsugakuni Yoriichi. At least, in Sengoku's impression, he had never seen Tsugakuni Yoriichi's strength stagnate.
He is making progress every day. Since the day he met Yuichiro Tsuchikuni, Yuichiro Tsuchikuni has never stopped moving forward.
To the extent that by now, Tsugakuni Yoriichi's terrifying strength has far surpassed the strong men in this world, and has basically reached another dimension.
Even a powerful pirate like Shanks couldn't withstand a single move from Yoriichi Tsugakuni. Sengoku simply couldn't imagine who else in this world could compare to Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
Even if the legendary prophecy is true, and the legendary Joy Boy will return to this world in some way, can that legendary person really be more powerful than Tsugikuni Yoriichi?!
Zhan Guo had no idea what kind of power in this world could stop Tsugakuni Yoriichi. It was precisely because of the terrifying power that Tsugakuni Yoriichi had now displayed that Zhan Guo began to have some doubts about the prophecy he once believed in.
If Joy Boy was really as powerful as Yoriichi Tsugakuin back then, how could he possibly fail?!
If Joyboy is really that powerful, and the Celestial Dragons defeat Joyboy and seize this world, then how powerful will the enemy that Yoriichi Tsugumi will face next?!
Is that kind of strength truly something humans can achieve?!
At this moment, Zhan Guo had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Yoriichi Tsugakuni had no idea that there were so many strange ideas in Sengoku's mind. If he knew, Yoriichi Tsugakuni would probably agree with one of Sengoku's ideas.
For example, his current strength is actually beyond the reach of humans.
Strictly speaking, Tsugikuni Yoriichi is no longer a human being in the orthodox sense. His body grew from the tree on the Holy Spirit Island.
His existence itself is the devil fruit itself, the embodiment of the good wishes of the ancestors of the Holy Spirit Island, and the body born in response to prayers.
In fact, even Yoshikazu Tsugakuni himself was surprised at the huge potential of his body. When his soul and body were perfectly integrated, his strength also grew explosively.
Even Yuichiro Tsugikuni himself doesn't know how strong he is now and what his limit is.
However, there is one thing that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni is certain of, that is, Im may have very strange abilities, but his hard power is probably not as good as his own.
Otherwise, Im would not have appeared so weak in the previous battles with Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Similarly, if Im possessed strength far beyond her own, she would probably not have sat idly by and watched the New Navy grow so big and become a huge force that would cause headaches for both the World Government and the Naval Headquarters.
"Escape. We absolutely cannot stay here any longer!!"
Garin Sheng came back to his senses from the shock of Shanks being killed instantly. He looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi with deep fear in his eyes. He had no thought of resisting at all. Now he just wanted to leave the battlefield as soon as possible.
But just as this thought came to his mind, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's gaze swept towards him without any hesitation.
Shanks is dead, and Tsugakuni Yoshiichiro finally did not hold back and killed the person he once considered a friend with his own hands.
But at this moment, there was no sadness in his heart, not even any regret.
He and Shanks chose different paths. Both strangers were fighting for their dreams and ideals. Yoshiichirō won and Shanks lost, that's all.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni had no way of blaming Shanks with the mentality of a superior. That was his choice, and he should pay the price for his choice.
In order to commemorate the friendship between the two of them, Jiguo Yuanyi is also planning to take some risks at this moment and eliminate this guy Jialin Sheng as well.
"Shanks, I'll find someone to accompany you."
"He summoned you to the Holy Land. Now that you are dead, how can he survive alone?"
Ji Guoyuan muttered to himself, and his eyes looking at Jialin Sheng became unusually cold.
"I"
Just a glance at each other, and Jialin Sheng felt his body tremble slightly involuntarily. A strong murderous aura instantly overwhelmed him. He opened his mouth, but before he could utter a complete sentence, Jigoku Yuichi's figure suddenly turned into a golden stream of light and disappeared in front of Jialin Sheng in an instant.
A flash of light came in an instant, Ji Guoyuan held the long sword in one hand, and his figure crossed with Jialin Sheng. A pitch-black head flew out directly from Jialin Sheng's body.
Jialin Sheng only felt a flash of golden light in front of his eyes, and then the sky was spinning, and the night sky inexplicably appeared in his sight. As his sight turned, the figure of Jiguo Yuanyi reappeared in front of him.
The long sword was slowly put back into the sheath. Ji Guoyuanyi stretched out his left hand and held Jialinsheng's head steadily. He lowered his head slightly, and the eyes of Ji Guoyuanyi and Jialinsheng met again.
“.”
Silence. At this moment, Jialin Sheng had no idea what was happening until he felt that there was something wrong with his perspective. He actually had to look up at Tsugikoku Yoshiichi before he realized what was happening.
The feeling of fear filled Jialin Sheng's heart.
“No no!!!!”
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, you can't kill me! I'm useful. I know where Im is. I have a lot to offer you."
The strong desire to survive made Jialin Sheng start to speak without thinking at this moment. He urgently wanted to prove his worth in front of Jiguo Yuanyi, but what greeted him was still Jiguo Yuanyi's indifferent eyes.
Gently shaking his head, Ji Guoyuan instantly covered Jialinsheng's head with golden flames in his hand and interrupted softly, "You are of no use to me."
"Not only is it useless to me, it's also useless to Yimu."
"Otherwise, she wouldn't have watched you die in my hands."
The left hand with the pure gold ring embedded into the flesh of Jialin Sheng. Under the burning of the golden flame, Jialin Sheng's head quickly returned to its human appearance.
It seemed that he was unwilling to give up, or perhaps the power hidden in Jialin Sheng's body took effect on its own.
Black flames flowed out from the seven orifices of Jialin Sheng, almost sticking to Jialin's skin and wrapping his head inside.
Perhaps it was because Garin Saint was very close to Im at this time, the power of the black flame became extremely strong, far beyond the intensity used by the Five Elders on Fishman Island.
The black flames actually blocked the burning of Tsugumi Yoshiichi's golden flames, isolating Tsugumi Yoshiichi's golden flames outside of Jialin Sheng's head.
Garin Sheng did not feel his vitality fading in the hands of Jigoku Yoshiichi. After calming down a little, Garin Sheng also found that his head was wrapped in the black flames of Lord Imu. Jigoku Yoshiichi's power was simply unable to break through the black flames and hurt him at all.
This discovery also made Jialin Sheng overjoyed. The fear on his face disappeared, replaced by the madness of being able to survive.
“Ha! Hahahaha!!”
"I'm alive?!"
"Hahaha, Lord Yimu is protecting me! Tsugikoku Yoriichi, you can't kill me, you can't kill me at all!"
"No matter what you want to do, you won't be able to succeed as long as Lord Yimu is here!"
"Countless powerful people are buried in the holy land. You are not the only one, and you will not be the last!"
"Ha! Haha. Huh?"
Jialinsheng's crazy laughter stopped abruptly.
Ji Guoyuan threw his left hand lightly, and the long sword at his waist flew out of its sheath quickly. In an instant, he had slashed hundreds of times, directly dismembering Jialin Sheng's head. The sword light instantly penetrated Yimu Heiyan's protection, and the golden flame penetrated, wrapping every piece of Jialin's broken bones.
As the decomposed brain of Jialin Sheng fell, Jiguo Yuanyi gently slapped it with his left hand, and Jialin Sheng's head turned into ashes in Jiguo Yuanyi's hand and disappeared without a trace.
Behind Yuan Yi, Jialin Sheng's energetic body became stiff the moment his brain was destroyed, and his body temperature quickly dissipated. His lively body had become lifeless and completely devoid of vitality.
Even creatures like the Five Elders cannot survive after their brains are destroyed.
Looking back at Jialinsheng's fallen body, Ji Guoyuan withdrew his gaze and walked towards the entrance of the underground palace in the ruins.
All those who were hindering me have been dealt with, and now it’s time to get down to business!
Yim, the woman hiding in the dark, no longer has any minions, and no one knows what abilities and means she has that she doesn't know about.
"Yuichi"
Sengoku thinks that Tsugakuni Yoriichi's methods are a bit cruel and cold. He thinks that if Tsugakuni Yoriichi wants to kill his opponent, he can just give him a quick death. There is no need to insult his opponent in such a way. Sengoku realizes that the current Tsugakuni Yoriichi is somewhat different from the Tsugakuni Yoriichi he knew back then.
Just as he was about to remind Tsugikoku Yoshiichi to "keep his original heart", his eyes were attracted by the figure of Jialin Sheng who suddenly stood up again not far away.
"Yuichi!!!!"
Warring States let out a loud roar, reminding Tsugikuni Yoriichi in this way.
But his warning seemed to be a step too late. Jialin Sheng's headless body was suddenly enveloped by black flames, and a bud sprouted from the wound on his neck.
In just a moment, the bud grew into a head that looked like a young girl.
An old but sturdy body, and a young girl's head.
The corpse, which was re-injected with vitality, regained its vitality. Wrapped in black flames, the corpse moved with the wind, as if teleporting, and appeared directly behind Tsugakuni Yoshiichi. Its palm was in the shape of a thorn, and it stabbed directly at Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's vest.
A corpse without any life force could actually attack him?!
Before Zhan Guo shouted, Jigoku Yoshiichi had already noticed something unusual. Without turning his head, he quickly put the long sword in his hand behind his back and blocked it directly behind himself.
"clang!!!!"
The hand of Jialin Sheng that was stabbing at Ji Guoyuan's back directly hit the sword of Dawn. As their domineering auras collided with each other, a crisp golden sound was heard above the holy land.
Yunyi glanced back slightly and was about to fight back, but suddenly found that the ground a few meters in front of him suddenly bulged rapidly, as if something was trying to grow out of the ground.
"Imu, can't you hold it back?!"
Ji Guoyuan frowned slightly, as he seemed familiar with this strange scene.
With a turn of his body, Jiguo Yuanyi swung the long sword in his hand backwards fiercely. However, at this moment, the corpse of Jialin, whose face had grown into a girl's, burst out with a speed that he had never possessed even at his peak. He instantly distanced himself from Jiguo Yuanyi, causing Jiguo Yuanyi's attack to miss.
Yunyi wanted to give chase, but at this moment, something unexpected grew on the ground in front of him.
It was an extremely large yellow straw hat, which looked 99% similar to the one Roger wore back then, except that the one that appeared in front of Ji Guoyuan was just a little bigger.
The straw hat has an "ancient" feel, a little torn, but also intact. The moment it appeared, a terrifying domineering aura that Yoshikazu Tsugakuin had never sensed before was instantly released from the straw hat. In a breath, this unprecedentedly powerful domineering aura had enveloped Yoshikazu Tsugakuin.
“?!”
The sudden appearance of the domineering aura made Yoshiichi Tsugikuni pause. At this moment, he felt as if he was at the bottom of the sea ten thousand meters deep, with his whole body being oppressed by an inexplicable pressure. Whenever he wanted to move, he would feel a strong sense of stagnation.
It was as if an ordinary person was swimming in a swamp, and his entire body was enveloped by this sudden domineering aura.
"Such a powerful domineering aura!"
"Was this released by that Straw Hat?!"
Ji Guoyuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he was secretly surprised.
