Facing the Different Dimension Oni God
A terrifying aura emanated from Oni Jūjirō's half of the field, and the heavy mental pressure made it difficult for Muneyoshi to even move.
However, Muneyoshi was not afraid; on the contrary, he was extremely excited.
This was his second direct encounter with the Different Dimension Asura Path.
However, compared to the helplessness and weakness they felt when facing Byōdōin at the beginning.
At this point, he had already reached the first stage of the field.
Such oppression was nothing to him; he was completely powerless to resist!
"The mental pressure is indeed very strong, but I'm only at the first stage now, so it's not like I can't fight."
Saeki Muneyoshi's gaze remained as resolute as ever, though Oni Jūjirō's sudden outburst made him sense danger.
But now he was no longer the helpless opponent he had been when facing Byōdōin.
"Come on, Senior Ghost! If this is what hell is, then you're really just talking big!"
"Good!"
A hint of admiration flashed in Oni Jūjirō's eyes; at this moment, he had completely recognized the qualities and willpower displayed by Saeki Muneyoshi.
Swish!
The tennis ball was simply tossed upwards, Oni Jūjirō's arm veins bulged as a sharp, piercing sound filled the air.
Bang!
He drew a dark gleam from his racket, and the tennis ball arrived in an instant, carrying an extremely sharp wind pressure.
"Haha, great!"
Oni Jūjirō unleashed a powerful punch imbued with the power of Asura Path, compressing the air to the side with terrifying force.
The dense black light, like an arrow, rushed towards Saeki Muneyoshi's half of the court.
Muneyoshi quickly ran to the left, his figure rushing directly into the path where the tennis ball would inevitably land.
"Darkness Domain - Ghosts and Goblins, Spread!"
As soon as Muneyoshi finished speaking, the Darkness Domain, which had been condensed to its extreme, surged forth like a wild horse.
The radiance trapped around Muneyoshi began to transform into various forms, carrying all sorts of negative emotions, and opened its mouth wide to bite at Oni Jūjirō and the flying tennis ball.
In a short time, the power of the tennis ball was greatly diminished.
Bang!
"Falling Bright!"
As Muneyoshi returned the ball, the tennis ball seemed to be surrounded by countless ghosts, rushing towards Oni Jūjirō once again.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Oni Jūjirō didn't hesitate at all. The Oni God behind him stretched out a hand and overlapped with his arm.
After Oni Jūjirō jumped on one foot, he smashed the ball back with both hands.
Zhui Ming was defeated by Oni Jūjirō once again.
Moreover, a dense black and red light appeared on the tennis ball, pressing down on Saeki Muneyoshi's feet with immense pressure.
Boom!
"Senior Ghost, holding back isn't a good habit for you!"
As he spoke, Saeki Muneyoshi, who was already at full power, slipped, turned sideways, swung his racket, and quickly pulled the ball up.
Bang!
With a light tap of the racket and a flick of the wrist, he instantly spun the tennis ball back with terrifying power.
"Hmph, let's see how many balls you can withstand!"
"Black Tomahawk!"
A dark purple light surged from the ghost's body once more, and then another arm was extended from the Oni God's body.
Suddenly, a huge mountain-splitting axe appeared before Muneyoshi, carrying a terrifying aura and a sharp, heavy presence as it cleaved down towards Muneyoshi.
Danger!!!
The Darkness Domain surrounding Muneyoshi instantly transformed into a massive vortex under his manipulation.
At the same time, the previously gathered Dark Radiance dispersed once more.
At this moment, each ray of Darkness Light transformed back into its original wraith form, and the wraiths changed again, all turning into burning Light Ball.
As Muneyoshi swung his racket, the Darkness power surged forth, precisely seizing Oni Jūjirō's Black Battle Axe.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
Then, the moment they made contact, an enormous and irresistible force rebounded from the racket.
The terrifying spin and ferocious power were tearing at every string of Muneyoshi's racket.
"Holy crap!!!"
With a low growl, the Darkness Light expanded once more. Muneyoshi exerted force with both arms simultaneously, pulling up and sending the tennis ball flying back.
"Shadow Sever - Ghost Dance!"
With Muneyoshi's swing, this time he not only returned a tennis ball, but also a barrage of black, ghostly Light Ball.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
The tennis balls rained down like countless shooting stars, completely surrounding Oni Jūjirō.
"Good timing!"
However, Oni Jūjirō was not frightened, but instead shouted.
Saeki Muneyoshi's attack reminded him of Byōdōin, and its power filled him with joy.
Tap tap!
As Oni Jūjirō ran wildly, the Oni God who had been standing at the gates of hell jumped out and truly descended.
Its enormous body carried an aura of unbearable oppression and terror.
Oni Jūjirō leaped vertically into the air, and the Oni God behind him did the same.
"This height!"
Tanegashima Shūji's expression changed drastically; this was the same move that Oni Jūjirō used against the France captain in the previous World Tournament.
"Danger!"
Irie Kanata's expression changed at this point; he hadn't expected the match to have progressed this far.
However, neither Mifune Nyudo nor Byōdōin Hōō, who were standing beside him, spoke at this moment.
They knew that at this point, neither side would stop fighting.
"Golden Jack Knife!"
Ha!
Oni Jūjirō roared in mid-air, and the terrifying figure behind him also let out an angry roar.
A dazzling golden light emerged from his racket, and its terrifying and violent aura enveloped the entire Heart's Cliff.
Bang!
The dazzling golden light and the terrifying, tyrannical aura instantly stirred up a strong wind.
Boom!
The tennis ball flew out with tremendous force, creating swirling air currents and a distinct ring of air spreading out from the racket.
A Great Folding Knife fell towards Saeki Muneyoshi.
Muneyoshi tried to dodge, but the terrifying speed and power, as well as the overwhelming aura that could suppress his breathing, made it impossible for him to move an inch.
Muneyoshi only heard a loud bang in his ear, and his whole body was swept away by the shockwave like a falling leaf.
A huge cloud of smoke rose up.
On this irregularly shaped, simple court, countless tiny stones flew everywhere. Muneyoshi struggled to his feet and swung his racket to block several incoming stones.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, he was shocked to discover a large, broken, fan-shaped area behind him.
Oni Jūjirō's golden Great Folding Knife left behind an incredibly destructive force.
The entire backfield was completely destroyed.
15-0.
"Saeki Muneyoshi, prepare yourself for death!"
Oni Jūjirō didn't pause at all; the next instant...
Bang!
The loud sound of the ball being struck rang out again, and through the still-lingering dust, a dark purple light flew towards Saeki Muneyoshi once more.
"Hey, I've had that kind of awareness for a long time, the Chaotic Flower Burial..."
Saeki Muneyoshi's eyes flashed, and he quickly chased after the tennis ball in the direction it came from.
The black blade flashed again!
"What good is a tiny blade like yours! Watch me chop you to pieces with an axe!"
Bang!
30-0.
Bang!
"Game, Oni Jūjirō, 3-3!"
Now free from his restrictions Oni Jūjirō's momentum grew stronger with each battle, and he was now completely excited.
Bang!
The Sakura Falling Slash was broken in one strike.
Oni Jūjirō scored another point.
Bang!
Even Ghosts and Goblins were useless; they couldn't withstand the combined attack of Oni Jūjirō's multiple paths and the combined power of the Oni God.
Oni Jūjirō scored another point.
Bang!
Muneyoshi used his "Descent of Light" technique, but the tennis ball had barely crossed the net when it was immediately returned by the catching-up Oni Jūjirō.
"Game, Oni Jūjirō, 4-3!"
Muneyoshi's attacks and techniques were all countered by Oni Jūjirō.
Those tennis balls, each carrying a terrifying aura, made his heart pound.
Facing the Oni God from Different Dimension, Muneyoshi never expected it would have such a profound impact on him.
Is this the true power of the pinnacle of a first stage?
Very nice!
That's really impressive!
After catching his breath, Muneyoshi stood firm again. The match wasn't over yet, so he hadn't lost.
Amadeus had already inflicted a crushing defeat on him.
Does he intend to allow Oni Jūjirō to do it again?
No way!
At this moment, Saeki Muneyoshi's eyes were completely filled with darkness.
Only the ever-burning Glowing Flame and the increasingly sharp aura revealed the determination in his heart.
P. S.: "Thank you so much for all the monthly votes! And thank you to the readers of Penguin Reading. Here's the fourth chapter for today. The bonus chapter will also be released today, but I'll probably have to wait until after work to write it. It should be posted around midnight tonight!"
Thank you so much for your monthly votes!
I originally thought it would take a while, but I didn't expect everyone to be so supportive, making it so easy to break 1,000. Also, a special thank you to the friends on Penguin Reading for the monthly tickets, especially the ten monthly tickets from "Wave on the Crest".
Originally, I planned to release three or four chapters today depending on the situation. I was even thinking that if possible, I would treat this chapter as an extra chapter, intending to be a little sneaky.
However, seeing everyone's enthusiasm, I felt I couldn't do that. I should keep my word. Today's four updates are considered a regular bonus update.
The two extra chapters will be written with high quality and quantity. I can write a little during the day while I'm at work, but I'll write most of it after work in the evening. They should be released around midnight, no later than 12:30, because Danyang also needs to go to bed early and get up early. I usually get up around 5 a. m. to write.
Thank you again for your support!
