Chapter 169: Ibaraki-doji, the Unrivaled Warrior

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Crackling!

The Oni Army and the Demon Army have already gone to war, and under the leadership of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the power displayed by the Oni Army is so terrifying that it inspires endless fear. No! It should be said that this is not even on the same level of power.

If the former Oni Heroes were only skilled in a particular style of swordsmanship and could unleash its power, then the current Oni Heroes are like awe-inspiring war gods, displaying a strength that seems capable of devouring everything.

And this is the astonishing power that the Oni Heroes under Minamoto no Yorimitsu's command could unleash.

Snapped!

Snapped!

The demon, wielding two swords, faced Minamoto no Yorimitsu's fierce attack. He grinned and said menacingly, "Boy! You're not bad, are you? But if that's all you've got, I'll just take your life like this. It seems your story ends here."

"Humph!"

With a faint smile, Minamoto no Yorimitsu calmly said, "You think you can defeat me with just your strength? Don't be ridiculous! Even the most ordinary demon from Mount Ooe is far stronger than you, compared to a weakling like you!"

"what?!"

"Humph!"

The two exchanged a glance and instantly attacked. Their longswords clashed, exchanging blows in a terrifying back-and-forth. Their attacks were incredibly fast, like a series of terrifying afterimages intertwining rapidly. The result of such speed was self-evident: the extreme attacks naturally resulted in a collision of terrifying power. In a short moment, their clash had already destroyed the surrounding area.

but!

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's encounter was indeed brief, after which he gradually retreated, proving he was no match for him! There's nothing to deny; his opponent's strength was formidable, a near-general level powerhouse comparable to Kurozumi Seramaru. For Minamoto no Yorimitsu to be able to fight such a powerful opponent for such a short time already demonstrates his own considerable strength.

after all!

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's time of passing on his legacy is still very short. It will take time for the power of the legacy to continue to be exerted. As for now? The power that can be exerted is far too little. Under such circumstances, there is naturally no need to say more about the power that Minamoto no Yorimitsu can exert.

but……

Today's battlefield is not simply about Minamoto no Yorimitsu's own strength, but about showcasing the power of the Oni Heroes. The strength that Minamoto no Yorimitsu has shown so far is enough. Let the ocean see just how powerful Minamoto no Yorimitsu truly is.

"kill!"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu slowly raised his long sword and brought it down. In an instant, terrifying power erupted. As if infected by this power, a large number of demon soldiers displayed astonishing strength. This scene was indeed very surprising. However! As the power of the demon soldiers gradually unfolded, they gradually suppressed the demon army.

This is the power of the Oni Heroes, or rather, this is the true power of the Oni Heroes. Only in the hands of Minamoto no Yorimitsu can the Oni Heroes unleash their true power, a power that shakes the entire world.

That!

Under the leadership of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the Oni Heroes once nearly flattened the entire Mount Oe and severed the head of the Oni King, Shuten-dōji. This was the true power of the Oni Heroes. In the past, no matter who held the power, the Oni Heroes could not unleash its true power, which was only natural. It would be very strange if the power of the Oni Heroes could be unleashed so easily.

And as it turns out! The power that only Minamoto no Yorimitsu could unleash (ccaf) was shining brightly on the entire battlefield at this moment, completely displaying an invincible posture, as if it was about to sweep everything away.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Each member of the Ghost Soldier Corps displayed astonishing power. Such astonishing strength is truly unimaginable unless one has experienced it firsthand; it is just how terrifying that power is.

Snapped!

Snapped!

With each deafening roar, it seemed as if everything was stunned, as the Ghost Army and the Demon Force, these two terrifying forces, were unleashing their astonishing power.

……

"Hmm~"

Seimei pondered for a moment, then said, "The Oni Heroes under Minamoto no Yorimitsu's command have indeed displayed even more astonishing power!"

Seimei observed the battlefield, watching the Oni soldiers' cooperation, tacit understanding, and combined efforts! In fact, their unique teamwork was indescribable.

but!

One thing that absolutely must be acknowledged is that the power unleashed by the Oni Heroes under Minamoto no Yorimitsu's control was the most astonishing power. You have to admit just how astonishing this power was. It is undeniable that the strength displayed by the entire Oni Heroes was many times greater than before, and now it was on a completely different level.

Seimei's eyes were calm as he secretly admired, "As expected! The Oni-Bō (Demon Soldiers) belong to Minamoto no Yorimitsu's power, just as only Ōtakemaru could truly awaken the power within Suzuka Mountain. Many treasures and powers can only be awakened by the right people."

Mount Suzuka!

With its very special power, Suzuka Mountain has always been known as a treasure trove. In fact, gold, silver, and divine weapons are countless in Suzuka Mountain. However! For Ōtakemaru, he will not give them to anyone. It's very simple. For Ōtakemaru, every blade of grass and every tree in Suzuka Mountain is everything to his family, so naturally, he will not give any of them to anyone else.

It was precisely because of Ōtakemaru's mindset that Suzuka Mountain increasingly recognized and empowered him, making him the most special member and the true master of Suzuka Mountain. Only Ōtakemaru could unleash the true power of Suzuka Mountain.

This!

That is the very core of it all. If you didn't truly know it, who could imagine it? Just like right now, the Oni-Bingbu possesses immense power, but in the hands of others, they might only be able to unleash 30% or 50% of that power. However, in the hands of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, it can truly unleash absolute power, and that kind of power is what makes people feel most terrified!

This is the root of everything, the core of everything. With the bursting forth of this true power, the entire Ghost Soldier Department seemed to become a unified whole.

boom! ! !

A jet-black column of energy shot into the sky, the astonishing power generated by the Ghost Soldier Corps. This overwhelming power seemed to devour everything, transforming into a terrifying demon that was roaring madly.

"Hahaha~~~"

Faced with such an offensive, the demon showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he laughed loudly and said, "Come on! Let me see if this is the elite of Wano Country. Just how powerful you are, don't disappoint me!"

"Roar!"

The demons also let out bloody roars, and terrifying auras surged from their bodies. This power fell on all the demon soldiers, and the terrifying auras grew wildly again at a visible speed, resulting in astonishing enhancements.

boom!

boom!

A fierce clash ensued between the two sides, and Seimei, who was watching the battlefield, exclaimed in admiration, "Their opponents are indeed very strong, but! The fact that no one on the entire ocean knows about such a force clearly indicates something very special!"

"Hmm~"

Ibaraki-dōji looked at the battlefield before him and casually said, "Although the opponent's strength is not bad, it's because Minamoto no Yorimitsu is currently unable to unleash the full power of the Oni Heroes. Otherwise, everything would be much simpler than it is now."

"Oh~~~"

Seimei's lips curled into a smile. He hadn't expected that the Oni Soldier Corps' strength could become even stronger, or rather! This wasn't the full extent of the Oni Soldier Corps' power; the Oni Soldier Corps possessed even more astonishing strength.

but!

Thinking about it a little, it seems to make perfect sense. After all, the strength of the Oni Heroes is undeniable. Such strength is beyond question. No joke! The Oni Heroes destroyed Mount Oe and beheaded Shuten-dōji in a real, direct battle!

While there are some issues surrounding Shuten-dōji's beheading, it also demonstrates the strength of the Oni-bō (Demon Soldiers). If that were all there was to it, it wouldn't have been so easy; at the very least, they wouldn't have been able to unleash such power.

Seimei stood with his hands behind his back, quietly observing the battlefield, and said with a smile, "Ibaraki, do you want to enter the battlefield?"

"what?!"

"Of course I want it!"

"Humph!"

Ibaraki-dōji grinned menacingly and said, "Although I'm extremely dissatisfied with joining forces with Minamoto no Yorimitsu, I'll use the blood of these guys to show the world my power!"

"Hahaha~~~"

With Ibaraki-dōji's hearty laughter, he leaped up, transforming into a blur as he rushed into the distance. His astonishing aura burst forth from his eyes, and he transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the battlefield.

Seimei quietly observed the battlefield. Ibaraki-doji had just been summoned, but he had already consumed 20 Devil Fruits to directly upgrade Ibaraki-doji to its maximum potential. However! Although Ibaraki-doji had been upgraded to its maximum potential, it was estimated that it would be unable to advance any further in the short term.

Every powerful shikigami faces numerous limitations in its attempt to break through to the SP level.

Yaodao-hime needs to break free from her inner limitations and unleash her former power; Hana-maki needs to follow all the paths her creator walked before she can advance further; and Yuki-onna needs to wait for the Flower of Immortality to mature.

and!

Suzuka Gozen, needing nothing more, needs to activate her dragon bloodline and wield the Sea Shell Halberd to become something akin to an SP shikigami. As for Ōtakemaru, he needs to truly integrate himself into Mount Suzuka.

Regardless of the type of shikigami, any shikigami that can break through requires a very complicated and special power. This complicated and special power is very troublesome and difficult to achieve. As for Ibaraki-doji, it goes without saying that it is to retrieve his lost demon arm. Once he retrieves it, he can take another step forward.

Chapter 170: Adam's Furious

pity!

Some things are easier said than done, and you'll find that they're not easy at all, in fact, incredibly difficult, because that's reality!

After much persuasion, Yaodaoji gradually broke through her own inner barriers, undergoing a gradual transformation and finally unlocking her sealed power.

As for Ibaraki-dōji?

Ah!

All I can say is that this is really difficult. First of all, you need to draw Onikiri from the gacha. Secondly, Onikiri's power needs to be released, which means that the demon arm belonging to Ibaraki-doji needs to be returned. In this case, Onikiri will die in battle, which is an extremely difficult thing in itself.

Of course, under such circumstances, if Onikiri could be reforged, his strength would be greatly enhanced, his origin would be improved, and thus his strength would increase. In short, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

"Master Harumi!"

Hana-chan pondered for a moment and then said, "In the past, the people who attacked us were always very complex and complicated, seemingly a mixture of various forces. But this time, it seems that they have all come together to form one side."

"Ok!"

Yaodao-hime nodded in agreement, saying, "Lord Seimei, that is indeed the case! In the first few attacks, I could sense that the enemy's offensive was very special. Most of them were not from the same group at all; it would be more appropriate to call them allies. But this time, they are all enemies."
