Chapter 531 Cracked

Ishikawa Goemon's expression hardened, and he tried to pull the sword back from Qi Ming's hand.

However, with all his muscles tense, he couldn't pull the sword out even a fraction of a distance!

Although he now has a way—that is to let go of the sword and engage in close-quarters combat.

But he can't.

Once he releases his sword, it means that he, as a samurai, has lost.

Therefore, he cannot let go of this sword!

Ishikawa Goemon suddenly felt that he should train some more.

For example, dual-wielding.

Wouldn't it be much more useful if he had another sword wrapped around his waist right now?

Qi Ming had no idea what Ishikawa Goemon was thinking. He kept his sword tucked under his arm without changing his expression, but his eyes were flashing with other colors.

Just like Ishikawa Goemon discovered that Qi Ming was a numerical monster.

Qi Ming also discovered that Ishikawa Goemon was a strange character.

Just now, he noticed an exclamation mark suddenly appearing on his backpack.

Upon checking his backpack, Qi Ming noticed that the sword he had used during his sword fight with Ishikawa Goemon was now flashing red.

The durability is completely gone.

Although he only had brief contact with Ishikawa Goemon's sword, its durability has now dropped to 0.

Good heavens, so the fact that he can cut down anything is actually part of his character design!

That means if he had touched Ishikawa Goemon's sword again just now, his sword would have exploded.

Qi Ming turned off his backpack and scanned Ishikawa Goemon.

Although his physical abilities are far superior to those of ordinary people, they have not reached the level of Makoto Kyogoku.

The truly extraordinary aspect lies in the way Ishikawa Goemon wields this sword.

His Zantetsu sword, when scanned, could only be described as a rare quality, but it became a different story when used by Ishikawa Goemon.

【Item Name: Zanetsu Sword】

[Item Description: This is the best sword in the whole village; it can even cut through steel!]

Item attack power: 167~230

[Hint: When Ishikawa Goemon uses this sword, his attack power will be greatly increased, and he will gain the skill: Nothing Can Be Cut]

...And what a load of crap, it's a weapon-specific weapon!

It also depends on whether your equipment has a durability setting. If it's another local native, even if they're holding an adamantium sword, they'll be cut in half.

Qi Ming and Ishikawa Goemon were locked in a stalemate, but fortunately, they weren't the only two present.

Besides the swordsman, there was also a gunman.

“Mr. Qi Ming, you, Ishikawa Goemon, might as well have opened your eyes and looked around earlier. Now, why don’t you turn around and look at yourself?”

A soft voice came from behind Qi Ming, and only then did Qi Ming come back to his senses and turn his head to look.

Daisuke Jigen didn't just stand by and watch; instead, he stood behind Qi Ming with a gun, pointing it at Qi Ming's head.

"You seemed to have said something earlier, right? That a gun is faster than a sword. I actually think so too."

"Let go, or I'll shoot."

"..."

Ishikawa Goemon always felt that he should find time to have a battle with Jigen Daisuke when he got back.

Do you really think your gun is faster than mine?!

"A gun is faster than a sword, I did say that."

Qi Ming tilted his head and responded with a smile.

Because he saw that Ishikawa Goemon possessed the ability to cut down anything, Qi Ming glanced at Jigen Daisuke.

Similarly, their physical fitness was just so-so; the problem lay with the gun.

However, his gun is not a dedicated weapon; it is simply marked that when Daisuke Jigen uses the gun to attack, he can hit the target every time, regardless of distance, unless there is an obstruction in between.

MD is another strange mechanism.

However, this person's skills are still not as formidable as Ishikawa Goemon's.

Besides, numbers are king!

"Then shoot, and see if your bullet is faster than mine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ming suddenly felt a jolt in his feet.

Upon seeing Qi Ming's action, Daisuke Jigen, though unsure of what Qi Ming intended to do, immediately pulled the trigger.

boom!

"What about people?"

Smoke rose, bullets flew, but at the same time, Daisuke Jigen's surprised and doubtful voice also rang out.

Because right in front of him, Qi Ming had vanished without a trace, and the bullet was flying towards Ishikawa Goemon!

"cut!"

With a flick of his wrist, Goemon Ishikawa's sword flashed, and the bullet fired by Daisuke Jigen was cut in two.

Ishikawa Goemon twirled his sword and sheathed his Zantetsu sword, speaking calmly.

"Although it was another boring thing that was cut down, it seems that your bullets are still no match for my sword."

"...Ishikawa, what's the point of saying all this now?"

"I am merely stating the facts."

Ishikawa Goemon opened his eyes again, but it was only then that he noticed Qi Ming standing behind Jigen Daisuke.

"Dimensional Realm, Lord Qi Ming is behind you!"

Ishikawa Goemon, having prepared to draw his sword, shouted at Jigen Daisuke, his heart filled with astonishment.

He has excellent dynamic vision; he can even track the trajectory of a sniper rifle bullet.

Now that I think about it, even I didn't realize exactly when Qi Ming moved!

"...Do you think there's any point in saying this now?"

Ishikawa Goemon's warning rang out, but Jigen Daisuke had already thrown away his gun and raised his hands.

A cold touch came from the back of his neck, and Daisuke Jigen knew very well that Qi Ming was now holding a gun to the back of his neck.

"I think you're absolutely right, a gun is faster than a sword."

"But now look behind you, what do you see?"

"..."

It wasn't enough that he was imitating Ishikawa Goemon's way of speaking earlier, now he's trying to imitate his own way of speaking?

"Humph."

Before Daisuke Jigen could even speak, Goemon Ishikawa's fighting spirit was already fully ignited.

The dust beneath his feet trembled slightly, and his body transformed into a blur, instantly appearing behind Qi Ming.

With the sword pressed against Qi Ming's neck, Ishikawa Goemon said in a deep voice.

"Now, sir, take a look behind you."

"..."

Qi Ming turned around and gave Ishikawa Goemon a disgruntled look.

This person is actually imitating me!

With a flash, Qi Ming disappeared. Ishikawa Goemon was still unable to fully react, and at that moment, a sharp blade was pressed against his neck.

"Then take another look behind you."

"...Your speed is truly incredible; you were able to teleport right behind me right in front of me."

"Heh, you're not simple either."

Ishikawa Goemon once again flashed behind Qi Ming.

"what about now?"

"..."

Qi Ming felt that if no one stopped them, the two of them could play here all day.

After thinking it over, Qi Ming sighed and turned to Ishikawa Goemon.

"Don't worry, my technique is quite good. If the sword breaks, I can just glue it back together."

Ishikawa Goemon felt that Qi Ming's words sounded familiar.

It seems like that's what I said when I told Qi Ming to go to the hospital because his hand was broken.

Before Ishikawa Goemon could reply, Qi Ming placed two fingers on the Zantetsu sword and then exerted force.

pat-

The tip of the knife made a crisp sound as it hit the ground.

Qi Ming was lying; his methods were completely ineffective.

The blade of the Iron-Cutting Sword cracked, creating numerous fissures of varying sizes.

And it wasn't just the Zantetsu sword that cracked, but also Ishikawa Goemon's heart.

"..."

Ishikawa Goemon was completely dumbfounded.

"My iron-slaying sword!!"
