?Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Tachi Kiri-ma_1 Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Tachi Kiri-ma_1 “Boom!”

The moment Xu Fan stepped forward, the void under his feet trembled, sending ripples outwards in concentric circles.

His figure, shooting out like a bullet, violently pushed the air to either side, instantly creating two powerful airwaves.

Xu Fan, like lightning, charged forward.

Behind him, the sound of sonic booms, like distant thunder, rang out.

In an instant, he was upon Shuten-doji.

But the latter, facing the overwhelming momentum, did not dodge or evade, instead he burst into loud laughter, slowly raising his palm in front of his chest.

“Boom!”

A thunderous explosion resonated, causing the sky to tremble incessantly.

The resulting Qi Force waves, like rolling billows, dispersed the clouds above, and moonlight cascaded down.

Amidst the sound of the explosion, Xu Fan hastily retreated, his expression becoming grave.

This punch, the opponent had actually taken head-on without a scratch.

After achieving Foundation Establishment, Xu Fan’s strength had undergone an explosive increase, enough to split mountains and cleave rivers, but the opponent had blocked it directly.

Xu Fan felt it was unbelievable, and he dared not to be careless anymore.

He was taken aback, but so was Shuten-doji, his expression frozen for a moment.

In his eyes, Xu Fan was merely in the early stages of being a Divine Ninja, someone he didn’t take seriously.

Yet upon the first clash, he realized the strength of the opponent was like a vast and mighty power.

For a while, his expression also became serious.

Xu Fan did not follow up with another attack, but instead sized up the situation.

The opponent’s system was different from that of the Ancient Martial Artists of Yan Country.

Although Xu Fan did not know the full extent of his abilities, the strength, he supposed, should be greater than that of the corresponding Heavenly Venerable bigwigs in the Ancient Martial System.

Then again, he thought, it made sense, after all, the opponent had lived for over a thousand years.

Such a long time, not to speak of cultivation experience and combat skills, even wisdom, insight, and fighting spirit were extraordinary.

Shuten-doji’s judgment was naturally sharp and precise, and he no longer dared to underestimate this Ancient Martial Artist from Yan Country.

He said in a cold voice, “People of Yan Country, if you persist in this, you’re on a path to death, retreat quickly!”

Xu Fan couldn’t help but smirk contemptuously.

His own judgment was nothing to scoff at, and he had seen the hint of wariness in Shuten-doji’s demeanor, so he taunted, “A mere monster dares to speak big.

What, you think my move wasn’t strong enough?”

“Hmph!

Don’t get cocky.

Your strength may surpass that of an ordinary Heavenly Venerable, but I still don’t take it seriously.

Confess your origins honestly, and perhaps, considering your background is no small matter, I’ll leave you a whole corpse.”

Seeing that Xu Fan had no intentions of retreating, Shuten-doji knew a fight was inevitable.

Some intimidating words might instill fear in the opponent, reduce his will to fight, so he spoke sternly.

And it was indeed the truth.

In his thousand years, he had clashed with many Ancient Martial Artists from Yan Country, but Xu Fan was the most unique, at least in terms of strength that did not follow conventional wisdom.

Of course, what he really meant was that Xu Fan possessed an unparalleled bearing capable of overlooking Qiankun with an unfettered and vast aura that commanded respect.

Such a bearing was something he had never encountered on any other Ancient Martial Artist.

Regardless of what doubts Shuten-doji held inside, Xu Fan was oblivious, and with a slight frown, he said coldly, “You, a man near death, are worrying too wide.

Want to know where I come from?

Wait until you become a vengeful ghost and ask again.”

“Hahaha~!”

Xu Fan couldn’t help but let out a wild, unrestrained laugh.

When his laughter subsided, he clenched the void with one hand, and the space trembled, slowly tearing open a crack from which endless dark light seeped out and converged towards his body, instantly covering him in a black glow.

“Yan Country brat, you sure talk big.

But today, Shuten-doji will make you understand, the price of arrogance is death!”

After speaking, the thick, dark glow surrounding him emitted a faint light, swirling and transforming into a long, ink-black Tachi that radiated an extremely evil aura, as if the very air around had become the domain of malevolence.

With Totsuka no Tsurugi Aikatsu in hand, Shuten-doji couldn’t resist running his fingers across the blade.

Flicking it with a finger, the blade vibrated with a “clang” sound, trembling at an extremely high frequency and causing the surrounding air to tremble and whimper.

His eyes were filled with a sinister, bloodthirsty crimson light as he coldly sneered, “You probably don’t know, I was beheaded with this sword a thousand years ago.

Now, it is mine.

It used to be called Totsuka no Tsurugi Aikatsu, but I prefer to call it Demon-Slaying Blade.”

“Over the years, Demon-Slaying Blade has beheaded countless masters from various countries, drinking abundantly of their blood.

It has long become a notorious sword.

Are you ready to die now?”

Once he finished speaking, he swung the Tachi violently downwards and with a roar, a black python ten zhang in length burst forth from the tip of the blade, its visage ferocious.

As a legendary sword, Totsuka no Tsurugi Aikatsu possessed its own spirit.

After its master had perished and his vital essence had dissipated, the sword, having drunk the blood of Shuten-doji—who did not die—by a strange twist of fate, became his life-bound weapon.

After recovering from his injuries abroad, Shuten-doji returned to the Island Country several centuries ago and swapped it with a fake sword.

In other words, the Totsuka no Tsurugi Aikatsu that had been collected by that Dongjing museum from the very beginning was a counterfeit.

Nourished by the blood of various creatures for hundreds of years, not only had Totsuka no Tsurugi Aikatsu become an evil sword, but it had also deeply merged with Shuten-doji, almost becoming a part of his body, its power now incredibly formidable.

However, Xu Fan, witnessing the black python lunge towards him, produced the Four Symbols Creation Flag with a flip of his hand.

“You’ve said so much, aren’t you thirsty?”

Xu Fan flicked the small flag in his hand, placing it before him, and said coldly, “The White Tiger Heavenly Slaughter and Earth Subjugation Formation of the Four Symbols Creation Flag!”

As his voice fell, the small flag suddenly released a brilliant glow, casting a mysterious light over the twilight.

“Aooo!”

As if from very far away, a rough tiger roar was heard.

Immediately after, Shuten-doji felt an intense murderous aura enveloping and suppressing him, giving him a sensation of being overpowered.

It couldn’t be helped; it was an innate suppression.

The aura of the Four Symbols Creation Flag was emitted by divine beasts, and Shuten-doji, being merely a demon, was naturally suppressed.

He was actually faring quite well; if he had been a more common demon or beast, just the White Tiger’s aura alone would have likely caused it to be subdued and flattened on the ground.

In his astonishment, Shuten-doji saw a fierce tiger stepping on rolling thunderbolts, leap out from the small flag and grow to over ten meters long in the wind.

Although smaller in stature than the black python, its presence was more majestic and astonishing.

The White Tiger let out a long roar and charged at the black python, leaving behind trails of golden light where its paws touched the ground.

With a “boom,” the two collided, causing a massive sound.

????0.??

The shockwaves radiated out, causing even the void to crack.

The giant black python twisted its body in pain, letting out a ghastly scream.
