The River-Severing Sword, Back in the Martial World

While smashing the guitar after an electric guitar solo is a classic, rock-and-roll, hardcore act, getting your toes smashed is also a classic scene from Colombia Pictures cartoon.

But at this moment, when all of this happens to a giant who is over fifty meters tall, everything changes.

The weight of over two thousand tons caused the entire earth to tremble violently during that seemingly comical movement.

However, everyone present was trained in agility, and they could even surf in a tsunami with ease, so standing up in such an earthquake would naturally be no problem for them.

However, at this moment, the streamers and viewers in front of their screens weren't concerned about the so-called earthquake at all. What they were really interested in was this senior's sudden act of smashing his toe. Surely it couldn't just be a joke about "a move only kids use in a fight," could it?

Or rather, why would this giant jump so high just because its toe was smashed? Aren't these colossal "Weird Tale" supposed to be immune to pain?

"Wait, the Weird Tale around us have been drawn here!" Suddenly, a streamer who was using a drone with some impressive technology to take aerial photos exclaimed and handed the footage to his teammate.

Only then did the audience notice that those unusually conspicuous, dark, massive figures on the screen were changing their course.

The previous rules for the spread of the super-large Omen were simple: they radiated outwards from the center of Inner Shinjuku. Although the speed at which the super-large Omen moved varied, they could generally be classified as a radial spread.

But at this moment, almost all the massive Omen around them—at least within the drone's field of vision—changed their direction and began moving toward their location.

"What you just did, senior, wasn't it some kind of monster-gathering technique?"

"Smashing a guitar to attract monsters... isn't that so rock and roll?"

"Not just rock, but also punk..."

Several streamers huddled together, broadcasting live on the same screen (offline) with strange expressions. But just then, the Senior Expert had just angrily smashed his guitar suddenly appeared in front of them and said to the young man who had shouted "Six Forms of Ancient Zither Method":

"Can you play the piano?"

"Ah, this, I..." Although the abrupt question startled the streamer slightly, his companion, who was chatting with him, immediately raised his hand upon seeing this:

"Senior, he can! He's an amazing guitarist, he practices a truly melancholic and captivating style! And me, I can play the violin... Oh, right! Hu Xian'er! Hu Xian'er! Come here quickly!"

"You called me?" The female livestreamer, called Hu Xian'er, ran over upon hearing this, and then the person who played the violin said:

"And her, she's the most unorthodox when it comes to Erhu!"

"Why wouldn't I..." Hu Xian'er really wanted to twist the violinist's head off, but seeing that her senior was present, she immediately adjusted her voice and said in a softer, cuter tone:

"Senior, I can play the Erhu, and I practice the Thousand Transformations Cloud Mist Thirteen Swords. I wonder what it entails..."

"Just fighting isn't fun, give me some background music!"

Feng Xue gave a thumbs-up, then turned and left. Hu Xian'er grinned, struck a pose like an air stool, crossed her legs, and thrust her slender sword back into her erhu. She then looked at the violinist she had summoned—

"What's the background music (BGM)?"

"Just don't act all high and mighty like that," the violinist said, patting his still-stunned companion. The guitarist, finally snapping out of it, said with shining eyes:

"He even brings a band to fight! This senior is so rock and roll! The background music definitely has to be rock!"

"Playing rock on Erhu and violin? What are you thinking?" The two exchanged a glance, and seeing his companion's disgusted expression, the guitarist grinned slyly:

"Then let's play that song that all three of us have performed before. Doesn't it fit the background quite well?"

"Are you serious? A solo is one thing, but you want to play a duet?" Hu Xian'er acted as if she were seeing this guy for the first time, but her shrewd guitar skills revealed a crazy smile that was different from her previous shyness.

This is how we rock musicians are!

After saying that, he picked up the piano he usually played with mournful, melancholic melodies and began to strum rapidly with his fingertips...

"Damn, you went straight to orgasm right off the bat! Are you crazy?"

"I'm so incredibly unlucky to have met you!"

Although the violin and erhu were grumbling, their bows were placed on the strings, and although it was a bit messy at first, they quickly caught up with the guitar.

Three slightly discordant voices rang out behind her, then merged into one in a short time, causing Feng Xue, who was heading towards Omen, to involuntarily raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Oh ho, Croatian Rhapsody, huh? Violin is one thing, but playing this on the Erhu and guitar... well, it actually has a certain feel to it against these ruins..."

Feng Xue glanced at the ruined streets and the giant beast emerging from them. It was a pity that the sun was still directly overhead. If it were to cast a blood-red afterglow from behind these monsters, it would be a magnificent sight!

Feeling the power of the background music, the [Execution Song] also boiled over. Although summoning a mecha to fight a giant beast would be quite fitting, he was now Martial Grandmaster in Yan Country, so piloting a Gundam would seem a bit out of place.

After a moment's thought, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and the guitar Guitar Case behind him suddenly popped open, revealing a red orca leaping out of the case.

At the same time, amidst the cheerful yet subtly melancholic melody, the phantom of an orca slowly emerged behind Feng Xue. Although there was no actual sound, everyone felt that an ethereal voice merged into the background music.

[Holy crap! Orca Martial God!]

[I knew it! How come I knew he was Martial World Myth but couldn't remember his identity!]

[He looks so young after shaving!]

[So this guy doesn't only wear beggar's clothes after all?]

[No, that's a hidden technique, like a divine object indulging in self-gratification!]

[What the hell is this self-congratulatory talk? It's self-deprecation!]

Feng Xue's appearance immediately caused a stir online, to the point that even the classic scene of a monster horde attacking Tokyo Bay lost its popularity.

As the Supernatural Tale Entry to the Orca Martial God of War began to expand, Feng Xue came from a wealthy and powerful family, immediately adopted the techniques she had learned from the [Bancho] Weird Tale and poured large amounts of [knowledge] into the Supernatural Tale Fire.

However, the reason why the Boss Supernatural Tale were afraid of polluting the prize pool with incorrect [knowledge] is because they are afraid of it. As for Feng Xue, she is just burning money!

The Orca Authority expanded rapidly, and the orca phantom above his head became increasingly solid. Holding the Orca Pillow by the tail with one hand, Feng Xue suddenly took a step forward.

The strike that once severed the river with a single sword is now being unleashed once more.

However, accompanied by that familiar yet slightly strange cute whale song, the orca phantom that flew out of the cushion this time was much more solid than when the river was broken back then. The earth rolled to both sides, and everything in front of the orca was torn into pieces no larger than a fist in the next moment.

The current Feng Xue is no longer the same as before, needing the power of Phantom Object to part the river. The force of her sword strike instantly carved out a clearing over twenty meters wide and nearly two kilometers long in the densely built-up Tokyo Metropolis of Tokyo.

A clearing that has been dug three feet into the ground.
