- "No, I didn't rely on the Whirlwind Formation to defeat the Sword Demon in the end. Miyamoto Musashi faced Mulan's insistence and said in a calm voice.

"However, since you can easily break through the Whirlwind Array. It's time for me to use the power I used to defeat the Sword Demon. ”

The spring ripples in the original spiritual land, and the light and shadow wander in the open hall. The wind, the more it blows, the more urgent, the palace, is still very quiet.

The cherry red petals flutter lightly around the waist, and three of them still shine brightly. And Mulan was staring at Miyamoto Musashi, a smile flowed from the corner of her mouth, and the giant sword Cangxiao was clenched tightly in her hand.

The blue ribbon swayed violently in the wind, but the sharpness of the sword mark in his left eye remained calm, and Miyamoto Musashi let go of the hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and his gaze became more aggressive.

He stared at Mulan, then closed his left eye.

Looking at Miyamoto's subtle movements, Mulan's calm gaze revealed a slight flaw.

Breath, an inexplicably powerful aura is pouring out of Miyamoto Musashi's body.

When Miyamoto Musashi's left eye narrowed, the sight of his eyes was black and white, and one light and one dark pierced into his vision, and his yin and yang were reversed at this moment.

Miyamoto Musashi's gaze was no longer fixed on Mulan, and at this moment, he sank into his own world.

The demonic blue energy of the whole body spontaneously surged in the meridians, and the terrifying demonic pressure began to rise wildly, distorting the air and light around Miyamoto Musashi with a powerful and irresistible force.

"Awakened...... Hua Mulan stood quietly, watching the changes in Miyamoto Musashi at this moment, and couldn't help but have a trace of solemnity in her eyes, "It feels a little strange......"

Miyamoto Musashi didn't move, only his wildly rising magic pressure continued to distort the air and light until it shook the space around him.

However, at the moment when the space trembled, the inexplicable power that gushed out of Miyamoto Musashi's body suddenly became concrete, and then, something beyond natural common sense happened.

In the void around Miyamoto Musashi, dozens of narrow cracks suddenly tore open, and it was in those black spatial cracks that strange crimson wooden blocks flew out of them and appeared on Miyamoto Musashi's side.

Under the traction of some kind of magic, those crimson wooden blocks spontaneously connected, pieced together, and built and assembled along Miyamoto Musashi's side, while more crimson wooden blocks kept flying out of the spatial cracks, connecting upwards, and continuing to be spliced upwards.

Soon, hundreds of crimson pieces of wood flew out of the void cracks, splicing around Miyamoto Musashi into a square rectangular box, completely enclosing Miyamoto Musashi's body inside, and from a distance, it looked like ...... It's like a crimson coffin!

"This ...... Is this a coffin? Mulan stared at the nine-foot coffin that appeared out of thin air and then completely sealed Miyamoto Musashi, with a look of shock on her face.

Even if she is as experienced as she is, she can't understand what the coffin that appeared out of thin air is about. She didn't understand, she obviously saw Miyamoto Musashi hiding the light in her left eye, and she also sensed the breath of Miyamoto Musashi's awakening, but why Miyamoto Musashi didn't have the slightest awakening flame on his body, but the whole person was sealed in a red coffin!

But the facts are happening right in front of you. Miyamoto Musashi had been completely enclosed in a crimson coffin, and the spatial cracks around it began to recover rapidly after completing their mission, and Miyamoto Musashi's aura gradually weakened or even disappeared under the closure of the coffin.

As far as Mulan's eyes could see, only the coffin remained!

- "Have you heard?" Three days ago, someone entered the sword shrine! ”

"I know, I know! I heard that it was a Fuso man. ”

"What? He doesn't want to die! There's that terrifying sword demon in the sword shrine! ”

"Yes! I heard that in the past, the imperial court sent a lot of officers and soldiers into the sword mound to catch the sword demons, but none of them came out again! I can't see a corpse. Later, it was useless to even bring people from Dali Temple! I really don't know where that Fuso man got the courage to go in? ”

"I think I've heard...... That Fuso man entered the sword mound to find a sword demon to duel......"

"Duel? How many lives did his mother give him? Dare to duel with the Sword Demon in the Sword Shrine! ”

"What do you say...... Can he still come out......"

"Still out? I'm afraid he won't even die! ”

As the sun set, the inn at the east end of Lihua Village was full of bare-chested villagers who had come to relax late, talking about the sword mound ten miles to the east, and the Fusang man who dared to enter the sword mound.

In fact, it's not just them, in the past few days, almost the whole country has been talking about the sword mound, and almost everyone is rumoring that a lifeless Fuso man has entered the sword mound to find the sword demon to duel.

Such a surprising event has a great attraction for ordinary people, so everyone excitedly talks about what they say, and they don't care whether what is said is right or wrong. It wasn't until the red sunset finally dimmed and the inn closed that the people dispersed.

But at this moment, a lonely figure swayed across the yellow sand road and walked slowly from the east.

He had unkempt black hair covered with ash, was dressed in a blood-stained linen silk coat, half of his trouser leg was torn on his left foot, and blood was dripping from his dangling right arm.

He walked in front of the people, and in the midst of the people's astonishment, he only lowered his head and walked forward silently.

It wasn't until someone with vision stared at his waist and saw two wagging swords that he was startled.

"Yes, yes, yes—it's him! The Fuso man who entered the sword mound! ”

As soon as the words came out, the people around exploded in an instant, staring at the man and discussing, and at the same time spreading out in fear.

However, the man did not care, and walked his own way quietly.

"What? You're not mistaken...... How could anyone come out of the sword mound alive? ”

"No, I'm not mistaken...... Look at the two swords hanging from his loins...... It's exactly the same as the rumors...... He's the one who entered the Sword Shrine! ”

"But...... But...... How did he come out? ”

"Do you mean...... Could it be that he defeated the Sword Demon? Oh my God, that's unbelievable......"

However, at this time, the man stopped his pace amid the sound of people's discussions, and immediately frightened the crowd to kneel on the ground and shout for mercy.

But the man slowly raised his head, revealing a face full of stubble, and in the last afterglow of the remnant sun, the sword mark of his bloodstained left eye was reflected.

"Go to the police...... The Sword Demon is dead, so let someone clean up the sword mound. ”

After Miyamoto Musashi said this in a low, weak voice, he moved his steps and dragged his badly injured body away.

Only the horrified people were left behind.

Miyamoto Musashi, who left home half a year ago, went to the decisive battle with the Sword Demon as promised. However, although he obeyed the agreement, the Sword Demon Man abandoned the agreement and did not appear.

However, his passion for winning and kendo never stopped, so it took him three months to find the sword mound, force into it, and start an earth-shattering battle with the sword demon, and he finally defeated the sword demon.

After this war, he will be famous all over the world, Miyamoto Musashi knows in his heart. After all, he can be regarded as solving the big trouble of the sword mound for Tang Cao's court.

But the remnants after the bloody battle made Miyamoto Musashi, who had been adrift for a long time, suddenly think of his hometown and the woman he loved, Atong.

Pinching his fingers and calculating, he has been out for more than half a year. Haruka remembers that he had promised Ah Tong that he would return home in three months at most. But now, he's more than double overdue.

It's time to go back, Miyamoto Musashi thought, long overdue......

So he didn't delay any longer and immediately set out on his way home.

But the road is far away, when Miyamoto Musashi returned to his hometown of Fusang after a long absence, it was already a month later, at this time his deeds of killing the sword demon had spread all over the country of Tang Cao, and the prestige of the Fuso Sword Saint began to spread all over the world, and even the Tang Cao court immediately included him in the key supervision files.

But all this Miyamoto Musashi didn't care about, because something even more shocking than all this happened, Fuso was destroyed!

When Miyamoto Musashi returned to this small country located in a corner of Tang Cao, which was only a hundred miles away, he was faced with a scorched earth full of devastation and ruined land!

Along the way, there was a tragic scene full of mutilation.

"What's wrong...... What the hell is going on!! Miyamoto Musashi looked at the terrible devastation in front of him, and he couldn't imagine what had happened.

At the time of his departure, everything was still fine, although Fuso was only a small country without a political power, not rich and not lively, but it was on the one side and had a very pure serenity.

He never thought that Fuso would become like this, he never thought about it. It looked as if it had experienced terrible wars and massacres, almost the entire realm had been destroyed, and everything that had been beautiful and peaceful had been turned into the scorched earth of that place.

"Who is it! Who did this! Miyamoto Musashi let out a roar, his pupils flushed with blood, and the sword mark in his left eye cracked with burning pain.

Miyamoto Musashi's fists clenched fiercely, as if he immediately wanted to find some enemy, and drew his sword to slash it. But looking at this devastated Fuso, he suddenly realized something that scared him extremely - "Atong! ”

Atong's safety!

Miyamoto Musashi's heart suddenly trembled, he wanted to go back, he wanted to go back to his former home, to find Atong. He prayed in his heart that he would see his wife intact and safe in this ruined world!

But this is clearly unrealistic.

When Miyamoto Musashi returned to the small village where his family was located, he saw an even more terrible sight - the fire roared across the land, stretching for miles, the woods, the wooden houses, the bridgeheads, the fields, everything was burning, and the whole village was burning. In the frenzied, stormy flames, there were countless corpses and rivers of blood.

The village was still burning, indicating that it had just been attacked, but it had finally been destroyed.

When Miyamoto Musashi finally walked back to his house, he was faced with a wooden building that had collapsed in the fire, and his house was gone. The pitch-black smoke and scorching air rushed into his face, but Miyamoto Musashi stepped into it head-on, and he rushed into the flames like crazy, completely ignoring the danger of being burned.

"Atong!! Atong !! Miyamoto Musashi shouted his wife's name, and the whole person was like a demon, he must find his wife. To live to see people, to die to see corpses!

But just as he rushed into the flames regardless of life and death, the wooden building that had been burning for a long time finally collapsed unsupportively, the beam structure completely collapsed, and the flames roared up in an instant, and the huge hot air force pushed Miyamoto Musashi out violently, and then the entire wooden building collapsed into a raging fire.

Miyamoto Musashi scrambled up from the ground, and although his body had been burned by the terrifying temperature of the flames, he still looked at the huge fire with a frantic expression. He's going to go in, he's going to find his wife, but he can't get in.

But he would not admit defeat to a ball of flames, he drew the sword at his waist, and with a sharp shout, a fierce whirlwind slashed in his face, and the whirlwind roared upward, and actually swept out the burning fire.

Miyamoto Musashi ran forward desperately, but even if the fire was extinguished, the entire house had already burned down, and all that was left was a charred black ruin, and it was impossible to tell what was what, even if Miyamoto Musashi turned this scorched earth upside down, he couldn't find Atong's body.

Everything burned out.

"Atong...... Atong ......" Miyamoto Musashi stared at everything that had been burned, and his heart twitched. He repeated his wife's name, his eyes becoming hollow.

He remembered his wife's gentle smile, so touching, so real, everything seemed to have happened yesterday, but now he couldn't find his wife, no one alive, no corpse dead. In front of him was a pile of scorched earth that burned into ruins, which was his former home. If all is still calm, then his wife should be sitting at home waiting for him now......

Once upon a time, she always waited for him silently, always at home, and although he was always out dueling, she could see his wife's smile whenever she was at home......

But the terrifying flames still surrounded him, fluttering and whistling, eating away at everything that could be burned on the ground, burning every inch of his homeland, and even wanting to devour him with him. The village was burning more and more, and he was already falling weakly......

At this moment, he felt as if he was in a different world, the pictures of the past and the reality began to intersect and roll in his mind, the scenes in front of him were so miserable, but the scenes of the past were so beautiful and clear.

But in the end, everything was gone, and in the end, all that remained in Miyamoto Musashi's memory was the endless flames that entangled in all directions, burning all the good flames of his past.

The flame was a nightmare, burning forever around Miyamoto Musashi's body and never going away......

- The moment he was enclosed in the coffin, Miyamoto Musashi saw the flames burning around him again.

The past flew by under his eyes, but Miyamoto Musashi had not wavered, and after stepping out of the burned Fuso, he was even more determined to abandon the past and be born alone in the sword. Now, he can only see the enemy in front of him!

As a result, a crack appeared on the closed crimson coffin.

Mulan has been staring at the mysterious crimson coffin, always waiting for something more unbelievable to happen. However, without warning, there was a soft sound in the calm air, and a crack appeared on the coffin.

Looking at the crack that appeared on the coffin, Mulan's eyes became more and more solemn. Along the crack, there was an extremely terrifying aura overflowing outward.

It's time to get up the coffin, Mulan thought secretly in her heart.

Immediately after, under her gaze, the gap suddenly cracked into a deep sword mark, and at the same time, another sword mark appeared on the sword mark.

Then, it's a split second.

Along the two interlaced sword cracks, the strange red light flashed away, and the crimson coffin shattered into countless fragments at this moment, scattering in all directions.

Mulan witnessed the explosion of the coffin, her eyes were frozen to the extreme, she had already seen the new appearance of Miyamoto Musashi, and also heard the deep words that echoed in the wind.

"Epic Soul - Oni Warrior!"

Dressed in a crimson carcass armor, a grinning demon mask on one side, the evil aura overflowing from the whole body, and a burning soul. The ghost warrior Miyamoto flashed the white eyes of the evil ghost, stared at Mulan's cold face, and said hoarsely:

"It's time for you to show your hole cards...... Otherwise...... It's going to die a terrible death. ”
