Chapter 473 The Step to Heaven

This is not an isolated case, the same scene happens frequently in the Sword Attendant clan.

Father and son, brother and brother, husband and wife.

They didn't say goodbye, but told each other.

Even children as young as five or six years old took up arms and used them to the best of their abilities.

A young girl in her prime received a token from her sweetheart. The two exchanged their feelings and parted after a hug, rushing to their respective battlefields.

Even the members of the cursed Sword Attendant clan dragged their deformed bodies to the front line.

This is the last war for the Sword Warrior clan.

Lu Mingfei is the only hope they have waited for for decades.

If this time ends in failure, they will really sink in the darkness until there is no longer a surname of Sword Attendant in this world.

So, they have to go all out.

The houses in Izumo Country were empty, and there were no clan members in any of them.

They had no deserters.

"That's it."

Kazama Liuli made a reassuring gesture.

Mai Shutoku nodded and looked at the elder.

The elder was shrouded in black robes, and in the shadow of the torch was a terrifying monster.

"child."

"give it to you."

Mai Shutoku raised a confident smile.

Except when she is in front of her boss, she is the queen the rest of the time.

Oh and potato chips.

Well, there is also Lu Mingfei.

Shutoku Mai dismissed the distracting thoughts in her mind and waved her hand.

"burn!"

The sword servants who were already in position bent their bows and set arrows, with flames burning at the front of the arrows. Following Mai Shutoku's command, the majestic archers' eyes narrowed, and they released their fingers, and there was a continuous sound of "shuss" piercing the air. one slice.

The flaming arrow shot into the dense forest of the demon's lair. It was already dry in winter, and Mai Shutoku had already poured fuel on it, so the fire was successfully started.

A raging fire ignited in the dense forest, and they heard Deadpool's roar. A pair of turbid golden eyes loomed in the fire in the dark night, looking at Izumo Country with malicious eyes.

Shutoku Mai secretly clicked her tongue.

She whispered to Kazama Ruri.

"You can really deal with such a big fire, don't brag?"

Fengjian Liuli nodded reservedly.

"Don't worry, although the Fierce Ghosts are not as good as the Sheqi Ba family, they can still do such a small thing."

Mai Shutoku pouted.

What big talk are you talking about? This is the 21st century. An exaggerated matter like burning a forest can be dismissed as a trivial matter, so how can it be called a big deal?

Do we have to shoot the sky tree with machine guns?

With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Mai Shutoku did not say anything. The first step of the plan had been implemented. She stared at the burning demon lair. Time passed by. The golden eyes of the demon were still shadowy in the dense forest and had not yet entered Izumo. Kingdom, Mai Jiudoku breathed a sigh of relief. It was as expected. Before that incident happened, the dead servant of the Demon's Lair decided not to step into Yun Kingdom. This was the deterrent of Tian Cong Yun Sword.

The real fierce battle happened after that incident.

After Lu Mingfei took the sword.

Suddenly, a vicious aura came overwhelmingly.

Every member of the Sword Servant clan standing on the front line was alert at the same time.

"This feeling is..."

"coming soon!"

"Be careful, don't die."

Mai Shutoku looked at Deadpool who rushed out of the jungle with his crazy golden eyes.

With the existence of Tian Congyun Sword, these demons and ghosts cannot be suppressed.

And now, they have entered Izumo Country.

That is to say...

Master, get your sword!

Mai Shutoku took a deep breath.

"bring it on!"

…………

The red cloth covers the Tiancongyun sword.

Lu Mingfei looked at it for a long time.

He had a vague feeling, as if the sword covered with red cloth was a living thing.

The sound of a powerful heartbeat seemed to echo in my ears.

Tian Cong Yun Sword...

Lu Mingfei put his hand on his sword.

The world around him left him in an instant.

Lu Mingfei was in pure lightless darkness.

There is no up or down, no left or right. If someone else were here, they would have already begun to fall and lose themselves in this never-ending fall.

Lu Mingfei didn’t.

This is a test of a person's human nature. The weak follow the trend, while the strong create the era.

There is no doubt that Lu Mingfei is the latter.

No up, down, left, right, no problem.

Lu Mingfei stood firmly in the void.

His eyes were clear and firm, even if they didn't ignite the golden pupils, they were still brighter than the golden pupils.

Where I stand is down.

The opposite is true.

I look at the place, for money.

Vice versa.

My finger is on the left.

The opposite is right.

This was the voice that sounded in Lu Mingfei's heart.

It is his declaration to the world.

It is also his order for this world.

His declaration must be heeded by the world.

Because he is Lu Mingfei.

The darkness of pure nothingness began to take shape.

There's up and down, there's front and back, there's left and right.

Hence the past and the future.

The concept of existence is thus established.

The world exists because of Lu Mingfei's existence.

A faint red light lit up somewhere, vaguely reflecting Lu Mingfei's face and the road in front of Lu Mingfei.

There is no end in sight to the left, no end in sight to the right, one step at a time, with pottery figurines standing on the left and right, holding sharp blades, stretching all the way to the highest sky.

Above the sky is a huge and majestic throne, surrounded by an indescribable black shadow.

Lu Mingfei looked at the black shadow.

Scarlet thunder exploded, as if God was also angry at Lu Mingfei's rudeness.

Lu Mingfei raised the corners of his mouth.

"What a grand display."

Behind Lu Mingfei, a shadow of a world lit up. There was a yellow road, a winding river, a bridge over the river, eighteen consecutive palaces, and countless ghosts, ghosts, demons, and monsters, all looking up. .

"Bold maniac! Why don't you kneel down!"

The shadows roared, the thunder roared, the river of forgetfulness surged, and the world was hopeless.

Everything stopped at this moment.

Lu Mingfei stepped onto the steps.

The shadow of the underworld behind him disappeared.

It was replaced by a shadowy fire.

There is also a huge black shadow connecting heaven and earth.

"Let me," give you a moment.

…………

The dusk light shines into the stained glass window, and the boy on the cross opens his eyes, shining with golden light.

The trembling Drogunir almost broke the seal.

"Should I say it's you, brother?"

The boy laughed and closed his eyes again.

Pale thunder rumbled outside the church.

Even more shocking than the thunder are the horseshoes.

"Just let me buy you some more time."

"elder brother."

…………

"Wow!"

Since arriving in Akihabara, Xia Mi's mouth has not been closed.

Chu Zihang kept listening to the girl muttering words like "heaven".

Although he didn't quite understand why Lu Ming had to come to a place like this.

Xia Mi said it plausibly.

"You don't know that, huh."

Xia Mi pretended to be Teacher Xia, backing away with her hands behind her back, her face as smug as a cat.

"Senior, senior."

"Investigation is not about killing and killing, first put your Murasame away, put it away!"

A boy with colorfully dyed hair whistled and approached, reaching out to put his hand on Chu Zihang's shoulder, but somehow he took it back.

"brother!"

"This knife is good."

"Which anime was it restored to? Bleach? Why don't I remember a Zanpakutō with this style?"

"Forget it, it's not important."

He smiled broadly.

"How about it? How much is it? Just tell me a price and I'll buy it."

Chu Zihang asked Xia Mi.

"What is he saying."

Although Chu Zihang suddenly learned Japanese for this trip to Japan, daily communication is still a bit reluctant. However, what is surprising is that Xia Mi's Japanese level is surprisingly high, and he can even serve as a translator.

It's just that this time when faced with Chu Zihang's question, Xia Mi's expression was a little subtle.

"Hahaha, it's nothing."

Xia Mi took Chu Zihang's hand and left quickly.

The man with colorful hair wanted to say a few words, but for some reason he suddenly shivered all over his body and his heart beat violently. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

"What's wrong with me?"

He scratched his head and thought of the boy and girl who were so cute before. The shudder came over him again. He quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He took no more than two steps forward when the ground suddenly shook and the masonry shattered. He was caught off guard and stepped on his foot, falling into the sewer.

Pedestrians around them all cast surprised glances, and there was a commotion. Although Japan is a country with frequent earthquakes, such a small and precise earthquake like today is really unprecedented.

This could all fall into the sewer. I don’t know whether I should call this guy unlucky or lucky. Chu Zihang glanced back, and the commotion over there caught his attention. Unfortunately, the crowd was too dense, and Chu Zihang couldn't see clearly what happened.

"Senior, senior!"

Xia Mi was furious.

"You're distracted!"

"Did you hear what I just said?"

Chu Zihang nodded.

"You mean, with Lu Ming's non-character, he will definitely appear in Akihabara."

"bingo!"

Xia Mi snapped his fingers.

"Believe me, my vision will definitely not go wrong. Let me tell you, senior, even if I haven't seen an S-class before, I already know this person very well just by listening to your description!"

"where is this place!"

"Akihabara!"

Xia Mi opened his arms and turned around, completely ignoring the looks from passers-by.

"This is a paradise for otakus."

"As a person like S, I might as well be enjoying the service of a maid in a maid cafe right now!"

"Like a knee pillow or something hehehe."

Xia Mi's words were so graphic that Chu Zihang couldn't help but imagine that the maid in white stockings and black leather shoes bowed deeply to Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei was holding coffee with a smile on her face. Chu Zihang suddenly felt, It's really possible that Lu Mingfei is in Akihabara.

Imagination is imagination, Chu Zihang's perception of the surroundings has not dropped at all.

Xia Mi didn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Zihang asked Xia Mi.

Xia Mi, who was looking deeply at the sky in a certain direction, slowly spoke.

"Senior, didn't you notice?"

Chu Zihang secretly held Murasame tightly.

"What."

Although his tone was calm, Chu Zihang was indeed ready to take action at any time.

that……

Xia Mi stretched out his finger.

Chu Zihang cast his gaze in the direction of Xia Mi's finger.

"Look, senior."

"Um?"

"That cloud doesn't look like a piece of poop."

"Um……"

Chu Zihang blinked, his face expressionless.

He turned to look at Xia Mi.

This girl, who is prettier than a movie star, is holding her chin in one hand, taking the indicated thinker pose, and gazing at the clouds in the sky.

She was still mumbling words such as "Really", "How could it be", "Strange" and so on.

It's just a cloud with a strange shape. Why do you pretend to be studying a legendary level alchemy problem?

An indescribable sense of familiarity emerged in Chu Zihang's heart.

This feeling of déjà vu... Yes, it must be right.

You are Lu Mingfei's twin sister, right?

"Senior!"

"What do you mean by that expression!"

Xia Mi jumped on his feet, looking extremely indignant.

"Is there a problem, is there a problem, is there a problem!"

"Just say it!"

Xia Mi pointed at the cloud.

"Doesn't it look like it?"

Chu Zihang looked at her, at Yun, and then at her.

Finally, he nodded with difficulty.

Xia Mi snorted and raised his arms proudly, looking like a general returning from victory.

Only occasionally when she glances into the distance, deep in the eyes of this beautiful girl, there is always a touch of solemnity that cannot be removed.

The Throne of Bronze and Fire?

But Norton...

Who is it?

A bright light flashed in Xia Mi's eyes.

I heard that Norton died in the hands of S-class...

…………

The last trap was broken.

Mai Shutoku breathed out a heavy breath and sweat appeared on her forehead.

She pulled out her two swords and pointed forward.

Ahead was Deadpool rushing towards him like a surging tide.

Fengjian Liuli rushed forward and blocked the front.

The blade pointed diagonally at the ground, Fengjian Liuli chuckled.

"This road is blocked."

All the members of the Sword Warrior clan looked at the club in unison.

No matter what, we must stop these monsters even if we die.

You must... you must buy time for Lu Mingfei!

…………

Dark void, stairs to the sky.

The moment Lu Mingfei stepped on it, the pottery figurines on both sides buzzed and vibrated, dust fell off, and lightning-like sword light pelted towards Lu Mingfei.

The pottery figurine transformed into a peerless swordsman and wanted to take his life.

Lu Mingfei moved his body to let the sword light pass.

The electric light and flint struck the pottery swordsman's wrist, and he grabbed the sword in his hand.

Lu Mingfei kicked another pottery swordsman away, and the sword in his hand followed closely. In the blink of an eye, two heads were thrown up high, and Gululu rolled to the ground.

The shackles that were vaguely attached to the body disappeared.

Lu Mingfei looked upward, his eyes sweeping over a pottery figurine, thoughtfully.

The first time he stepped onto the steps, Lu Mingfei felt blessed. He realized that he could not move forward without killing the terracotta swordsman.

Recalling the fight just now, Lu Mingfei evaluated the clay warrior swordsman. He was considered a good player among mortals, but not good enough for him.

Lu Mingfei walked up the steps to the second floor.

The sword light came instantly.

Two dings

Lu Mingfei parried the sword and slashed with the force, throwing up two heads.

The two pottery figurines fell to their knees weakly.

It's faster, about twice as fast.

What about behind?

Three flights of stairs.

Lu Mingfei beheaded the pottery figurine, thought for a moment, and nodded.

Sure enough.

The speed is still increasing, and the amplitude is doubled.

Lu Mingfei looked at the gradually dimming golden eyes on the fragments of the pottery figurine's head.

Dragon’s blood?…

Lu Mingfei raised the corner of his mouth.

It's getting more and more interesting.

Let me see how much faster you can increase it.

Lu Mingfei continued upward.

What he never noticed was that as each pottery figurine fell down with the killing, a little golden fire flew out from the remains of the pottery figurines, flying towards the hazy firelight and the black shadow of the huge monster behind Lu Mingfei. .

The hazy shadow seemed to be separated from Lu Mingfei by a whole world, and gradually became frozen in time as the firelight merged.

The speed increase stops at thirty-two times.

Then comes strength.

Each pottery figurine has a pair of golden eyes, and their extraordinary qualities seem to be related to these eyes.

Seven flights of stairs.

Lu Mingfei dodged and defeated two pottery figurines.

He looked thoughtful.

Instead of continuing to increase, the speed of the pottery figurines has returned to the same level as the first level of steps.

At the same time, the power of the seven steps increased.

Same speed as one step, twice the force.

So, could it be that the eighth floor is...

Sure enough, Lu Mingfei collided with the eight-story pottery swordsman, and the power he felt was twice that of the seven-story pottery warrior.

Lu Mingfei threw away the knife with a pitted blade and picked up the giant sword with eight layers of pottery figurines.

Lu Mingfei weighed it in his hands, and it seemed to be a good one.

If the pottery figurines with one level of steps are regarded as the basic type, the five to six levels are the speed-enhanced type, and the seven-level and above are the strength-enhancing type.

Their differences also lie in their weapons.

The speed-enhanced pottery figurine uses a tachi, and the strength-enhanced pottery figurine uses a giant sword.

Nine flights of stairs.

Lu Mingfei waited quietly for the pottery figurine to wake up and did not try to move forward.

·The huge sword slashed down, Lu Mingfei planted his horse firmly and raised his sword diagonally.

The two collided violently, shook violently, and stepped back at the same time.

Lu Mingfei thrust his huge sword into the ground, pulled it out after stabilizing his body, and continued to wrestle with the pottery figurines.

It's like two foot fighters trapped in a gladiatorial arena.

And Lu Mingfei faced two enemies.

But the final victory in this battle undoubtedly belongs to Lu Mingfei.

How could he stop at this place.

After killing the second pottery figurine, Lu Mingfei let out a breath.

He stood for a while, held the giant sword again, and swung it back and forth.

Lu Mingfei nodded.

Sure enough, the strength increased.

Speaking of which, compared to the beginning, my speed also increased a lot when I stepped on a step.

Is this absorption?

Lu Mingfei glanced at the remains of the pottery figurines on the ground.

No, that's not right.

Although my speed and strength have increased, they have not reached the exaggerated level of thirty-two times.

Rather than absorbing, this feeling is more like...

Lu Mingfei clenched his fists and felt the changes taking place in his body.

Yes, it feels more like unlocking than absorption.

Lu Mingfei's eyes flashed with an extremely noble golden light.

Unlock the power that is mine.

A word naturally jumped into Lu Mingfei's mind.

Awakening.

The awakening of hybrids is to tap into the power within the dragon blood flowing in their bodies.

perhaps……

Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at the steps that extended to the sky.

And the huge throne with black shadow in the sky.

This is my path to awakening.

The huge black shadow behind became more solid.

Ten flights of steps...

Lu Mingfei held the sword in both hands, opening and closing it widely.

The pottery figurines look as fierce as monsters.

Lu Mingfei was even more vicious than him.

The so-called Yama was not invincible to Kyushu from the beginning. Lu Mingfei had also encountered evenly matched opponents and had experienced life and death.

But in the end, he survived.

There was never any argument that because he was Yama, he deserved victory.

Quite the opposite.

It is precisely because Lu Mingfei was able to win again and again, and survive again and again, that the name of Yama can shock the entire Kyushu.

Therefore, life and death decisions are commonplace for Lu Mingfei.

Life is shattered, blood flows down the pipes, and every step you take leaves a bright red footprint.
