"Clang!"
After Musashi and the other two stepped onto the top floor, the battle between Ryuga and Yagyuu Munematsu directly entered its climax.
Without any prelude or announcement, the two directly abandoned the useless probing at the beginning of the battle, and each of them exerted their ultimate swordsmanship skills.
Yagyuu Munematsu should have used Caster's hands to let him use some skills to strengthen his physical ability, so that his strength could reach the point where he could fight with a Hero Spirit in a short time.
Although his strength was far less than Ryuga's after the increase, Ryuga did not intend to suppress others with strength. Instead, he suppressed his strength to the same level as his opponent and competed purely with swordsmanship.
To be honest, with Ryuga's current swordsmanship, it was not surprising that he could step into the realm of swordsmanship at any time. However, compared with a real Sword Sage, he still lacked something important.
That was the heart.
The heart of a Sword Sage.
Musashi had an innate obsession with swordsmanship. He was willing to water his path of swordsmanship with his life's hard work and hardships, while Yagyuu Munematsu practiced Zen all year round to maintain the heart of swordsmanship.
However, Ryuga had nothing. He only intended to use the sword as a medium to become stronger and then fulfill his wish. That was all. There was no obsession with swordsmanship.
A long time ago, Musashi had told him that if he did not have an obsession with swordsmanship, he might be able to become a swordsman or a great swordsman in the future, but he would never become a Sword Sage.
The heart of swordsmanship was diverse. For example, the heart of swordsmanship of Musashi and Yagyuu Munematsu was completely different. There was no saying that one had to use a certain kind of heart of swordsmanship to enter the Tao. However, if one did not have a heart of swordsmanship, it was completely impossible to enter the Tao.
At the moment, Ryuga was trying to establish his own heart of swordsmanship.
"It doesn't matter what kind of heart of swordsmanship you have, even if it's fake. As long as you can step into the path of swordsmanship, it's a useful heart of swordsmanship."
In the spacious pavilion, two figures kept crossing each other, causing sword Qi to surge in all directions.
Yagyuu Munetsugu's body was filled with a cold and murderous aura. In the final battle with Ryuga, he had completely exposed his true nature. His belligerent and bloodthirsty nature was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
He looked at Ryuga with eyes full of murderous intent. There was no reason for him to do so. It was just to satisfy his inner desire to kill. The blade was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper from hell. If one was not careful, one's soul would be taken away.
However, even though his heart was filled with murderous intent, his saber did not have the slightest bit of disorder. It was still like a cold machine, and every saber was filled with a simple beauty.
His Sword Heart had already given him the ability to not be confused or hesitant no matter what situation he faced. Even if the nature that he had hidden for seventy years was revealed, he could remain completely indifferent.
"Not enough!"
As the swords clashed, Yagyuu Munetsugu shouted coldly, as if he had easily seen through Ryuga's heart. "It's far from enough, boy!"
Indeed.
It wasn't enough.
For Ryuga, who was born without feelings, to have a "heart" was as difficult as to achieve his wish and obtain the same feelings as ordinary people.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he was already in a state where he could completely break through. However, for Ryuga himself, it was still as if there was a hard barrier in front of him, preventing him from moving forward no matter how hard he tried.
This was something that could not be helped. In any case, Ryuga, who had no feelings, only had reason and no heart. In other words, it was impossible for him to achieve the Sword Heart.
"If you treat the sword as a prop, you can't win against me no matter what!"
Yagyuu Munetsugu shouted. Just from the collision of the sabers, he had already understood Ryuga's inner thoughts.
Then, his eyes became cold and murderous. He waved his sword, which was far more powerful than before.
It was like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror.
When the saber was waved, it was impossible to tell where it came from or where it was going.
"Slash!"
Ryuga didn't block the sword, causing a wound to appear on his left arm.
If he used all his strength, he could easily block 10 sabers, let alone such a saber. However, he couldn't do that now. He intended to use his sword to determine the winner, so he couldn't use his strength to suppress his opponent. Otherwise, it was bound to add a thick layer of shackles to the barrier in front of him.
"Indeed, I use the sword as a prop. I only use the sword to kill the enemy."
Ryuga was completely unmoved. He still said indifferently, "However, if you don't use the sword as a prop, you can't achieve the Sword Heart."
"Ridiculous!"
The killing intent in Yagyuu Munetsugu's eyes did not diminish, but his words were still calm and indifferent. "Then, show me!"
The moment the two were about to fight again —
"Buzz —!!!"
A violent clanging sound came from the top of the building.
A godly aura, as if a god had descended, suddenly erupted.
Then, a huge Sword Qi instantly ran through the entire attic and even the illusory castle, cutting the entire illusory castle in half!
"Are you Muramasa Doomouchi?"
Liu Xia quickly retreated, as if she had predicted the arrival of this unstoppable sword momentum. She dodged the blade that split the illusory castle in half, then raised her head and looked up.
"Ahem! Ahhhh —!!! "
Because the attic was cut in half from the middle, Ryuga, who was standing on the edge of the broken floor, could also see the scene on the top of the building.
The white-haired young man was struck head-on by the saber. Perhaps because it was only the aftershock, he was not cut into two on the spot. However, because of this, he screamed out in pain and vomited blood. His aura instantly withered.
"It's … Doomouchi …?!"
The white-haired young man's face was full of disbelief. Then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "Is that so … Mochizuki Chiyo, Shutendoji, I was destined to fail from the beginning? Damn it … Suppression … "
The so-called Doomouchi referred to the Doomouchi Broadsword, also known as the Sword of Kusanagi. It was a magical sword that Susanoo found in the tail of Yamata-no-Orochi. It was one of the three divine weapons of Japan.
Among the heroic spirits that he summoned with the Heavenly Chain Demon Technique, Mochizuki Chiyo and Shutendoji were related to Yamata-no-Orochi. They were destined to be restrained by Chiyo Muramasa.
Because of this, he was already destined to fail when he tried to summon the Heroic Spirit.
The suppression couldn't stop him from summoning the heroic spirits, but it could allow him to summon the restrained heroic spirits and then summon the restrained heroic spirits to the real world to create an advantageous situation.
Unfortunately, he didn't notice this at all. When he realized it, the battle had already come to an end.
