One Year (7)

Since the arrival of the Gen'ei Ryodan, the battle became even more intense but nobody thought about retiring, everyone kept fighting to gain position after every continent had its rules

They hated each other so much that if a human killed a high-ranking demon and sent his head to the Emperor then he would get very luxurious rewards

It was the same for the Demon Continent since if they even reached the Head of a Beast or Human Clan Patriarch they would receive merit points that they could use in the nearby Sects of Clans

There was even one who murdered four Emperors and was lucky enough to get the attention of the fifth Demon Princess so with so many things as a reward the demons were too excited

And although they were all excited anyway they tried to stay away from Broly or any other Gen'ei Ryodan at least they valued their lives

________

In the center of the battlefield, Ichigo was moving while swinging his sword taking the lives of countless people

He did not care about the lives of these people because even he knew that everyone here already had their bloodied hands as well if he were of a weak heart then it would not make any sense that from the beginning he would think about committing these actions

The more he ran across the battlefield the more bodies accumulated while swinging his sword

He had previously had a battle against two Emperors but he didn't feel anything special because even the battle was over before he started therefore at this time he had linked the sword skills of some anime characters that he thought were great

Because he links the sword skills of Kenshin Himura, Sasuke Uchiha, Saber And Siegfried (Fate) his battle style was quite interesting in addition to something messy which caused his enemies to not even see the path of his sword while they could only be cut mercilessly

The more he got excited the more he entered a battle trance causing him to even unconsciously use his powers granting the famous Sharingan his eyes moved frantically as his enemies attacked him

These actions of his made Madara who was practically slaughtering his enemies as if he were fighting with the Shinobi Alliance to look at him before frowning.

"So it really is like that ..." Madara had already had some suspicion towards Ichigo and now noticing the actions of this man he was not dumb

He realized that Ichigo was apparently a person who could bestow and manifest powers beyond comprehension, even having the Sharingan.

Wasn't Ichigo challenging the logic?

Madara could not help raising the corner of her lips showing a slight smile, after all, she wanted power and then if he stayed next to Ichigo ... Could he not reach that power he dreamed so much?

__________

Ichigo who watched as an enemy approached and under its center of gravity as he kicked his heel right on the enemy's chin causing his body to rise from the ground

Again he went around and kicked him in the abdomen sending him to crash against others, his actions were fluid and showed experience in battle as if he had done this thousand of times

"Sword Art of the Ancient Beast - Myriad Sword Saint!"

Suddenly a somewhat old voice but full of power was heard and Ichigo immediately raised his sword blocking an incoming attack

BANG!

The huge crash caused huge fractures to occur on the floor below Ichigo while the surrounding enemies were sent flying or were mutilated only by the intention of the sword of both

"Really a powerful young man ..."

"And without saying anything about an old man as deceptive as you ..."

Both men looked at each other and lowered their swords while facing each other.

"I introduce myself ... I am the Patriarch of the Golden Eagle, I am Zung Du, you can call Du"

"I do not understand what your intention is to present to me but well, my name is Ichigo I have no last name if you need to know ... The current leader of Gen'ei Ryodan"

Zung Du's expression showed surprise when he heard that Ichigo had no last name and then when he heard 'Current Leader of Gen'ei Ryodan' he nodded as he diverted his attention to the other members of Gen'ei Ryodan causing disasters in the place

There was a muscular man with green hair with a monkey tail destroying the whole place with countless explosions ... A man with long black hair and crimson eyes who was covered with some kind of skill that showed a huge blue skeleton

And without forgetting the young woman who was practically freezing the environment and causing unprecedented deaths while sitting quietly in the air

Powerful...

Zung Du couldn't help saying that phrase within himself while then focusing his attention on Ichigo

"I can say that at least each one of you belongs to the cultivation of Martial God ... I find it strange not to feel his level of cultivation but only by the powers shown until now I suppose that I have guessed right?"

Ichigo only gave a mysterious smile as he looked at Zung Du at first he thought about eliminating this old man and continuing to practice his powers but now he was curious

"I will take your silence as a yes ... It is rare to see so many Martial God in our Continents without a doubt you must come from the Central Continent although I still do not understand why or how it is possible to cause disasters in this place without fear that the World Council represses ... "

"Go straight to the point please ..."

Zung Du smiled as he knew that he was also deviating from the subject and right now it was that he noticed that this man's eyes looked a lot like the other crimson-eyed man

"What if we first have a battle and then I can tell you what I really want" Zung Du asked politely while swinging his sword he wanted to correctly test Ichigo's strength since he needed to have the help of strong allies

If it turned out that Ichigo fulfilled his requirements then he would try to hire them to save someone very special to him

Ichigo clearly noticed that this man wanted to hire him for something and thought about it a little before accepting the battle

"Then don't blame me if you die in the process"

"If I die, it will only mean that you are much stronger than me ... If I died, my little granddaughter would be in charge of informing you about everything" When Zung Du finished speaking, he pointed to Ying Zu, who was being held by some Elders, to that she did not interfere in the duel

Ichigo nodded before raising his sword while they both looked at each other

There was a moment of silence as both had become self with their sword

BANG!

Just at that precise moment an explosion occurred in the distance and was the trigger for the movements of both

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Both had arrived instantly in front of each other while their swords were coming from the same positions below!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The movements of each one were precisely the same something that left both of them quite stunned. It was as if the two had practiced the same sword techniques.

But that was impossible!

Why would it be impossible?

It was because Ichigo had combined practically four sword styles of different anime characters so how could this be possible

Zung Du was also incredulous he had trained his sword for five hundred years and had countless meetings with millions of people and his fencing was growing as he sometimes began to introduce other fencing movements but who would think that this young man in front of him had done practically the same

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The more the swords sounded crashing into each other, the more excited Ichigo's expression was. He previously wanted to train now with this happening.

Even Zung Du felt that his level of fencing was growing in this battle and he couldn't help squeezing the hilt of his sword with passion while swinging his sword rhythmically

As Zung Du could notice the growth of his fencing experience, things for Ichigo were quite clear and soon his fencing became dominant in battle.

It was because he had not realized it before but if obtaining power at least he had to know how to use it to be able to demonstrate his full potential and now with Zung Du fighting against it he caused these powers to grow in experience within his own body

Ichigo now moved his sword more fluidly and the fragments of the skills within him merged completely into one

The most dominant of them and soon his posture and movements were very similar to Siegfried himself!

Both were in a trance as they fought fiercely destroying the surroundings with each movement of their sword

From top to bottom and on both sides the swords moved to impact each other

Either the sky or the ground was not saved from its confrontation

It's as if they felt that this battlefield was only for the two

But it was a shame because this was a battlefield which meant that there were countless people around so they had to keep their senses active in case someone else tried to attack them

And well it happened since several people threw themselves on Ichigo to be able to assassinate him taking advantage of the situation

"Don't bother! ... Ran Gekishō!" Ichigo suddenly touched the ground with his left hand causing a rumble throughout the environment

This caused confusion but instantly countless fists made of the ground shot out from the ground impacting nearby enemies destroying them and turning them into simply shredded bodies.

Zung Du showed an expression of amazement and instantly also used a skill "Martial Art of the Beast - Steps of the Snake!"

Suddenly he had disappeared while many heads began to roll on the ground while the blood overflowed, Ichigo frowned and then raised his sword to cover the back of his neck

Clang!

The familiar sound of the impact between resounding metal while Zung Du held his sword while he had almost cut off Ichigo's neck but did not think that this young man would see such an attack coming.

Ichigo had noticed it because the Sharingan was practically re-energizing the whole environment, and even if the Sharingan did not notice it, his senses were absurdly high and this type of sneak attack by a mere Martial Saint of ninth level would never work.

"I didn't think you were so cheeky ... Old Du"

Zung Du was surprised at how Ichigo had called him but he chuckled because calling him 'Old Du' didn't mean they seemed to be friends now?

"Although the strong reign in this world, attacking sneakily to see a new tomorrow is not bad either, is it?"

"If your Clan members heard your words, wouldn't you be a bad example?"

"And that's why I say it secretly among us, you can't go and tell them, or would you do it?"

They both looked at each other and chuckled, Ichigo felt that this old man was quite pleasant because it was compared to his father who usually used to be quite cheeky on certain occasions

"I really wouldn't, even if I do nobody would believe me" Ichigo shrugged as he kept his sword

Zung Du watched the action of Ichigo and felt strange, his fight was well over but the battlefield was still surrounded by countless enemies then because this young man kept his sword

"Your?..."

"Unfortunately Old Zu, apparently I have to take care of some things, we can talk later ..." Ichigo turned around as he began to levitate towards the sky

Zung Du wanted to chase after Ichigo to tell him about hiring him but suddenly he noticed how the members of the Gen'ei Ryodan positioned themselves next to Ichigo in the air and felt that something was not right

Immediately Zung Du walked away towards Ying Zu while ordering his members to go a safe distance, none understood but followed the orders of Patriarch Du

__________

"Father are you satisfied with just that?"

"Even if I'm not ... I can't keep wasting time now apparently things have come forward now" While he spoke everyone watched a beautiful crow with purple feathers float in the distance

No one knew anything about that Crow but as Tian'er noticed that Ichigo seemed worried she felt that something important had happened

Ichigo stepped forward and looked at the center of the Golden Triangle from above, right in the center is where he would create his base

But right in the center, there were many enemies still fighting and he didn't have the time to stop to play now

Ichigo raised his hand to the sky and a mystical but unparalleled power began to gather alerting everyone present who felt their hearts were clenching

Zung Du could not believe what he was witnessing ... He had thought that Ichigo was undoubtedly a cultivator in the rank of Martial God

But this young man was in the rank of Mystic God !!!

In the Central Continent, there were a different rank of cultivators and without a doubt, Ichigo was very well positioned

Legendary God, Mystic God, Ancestral God, Ancient God, Immortal Saint, Immortal Monarch, and God Sovereign Immortal

It had to be said that in this world those who reached the rank of God Sovereign Immortal would ascend to Nirvana

Or rather to a higher world where they could become Kings of some mystical place

There were countless legends and myths about that world of Kings, those Cultivators of rank Immortal Monarch still hoped one day to raise their cultivation and get to have the opportunity to witness that higher world at least once in their lives

Zung Du could not help feeling very strange to see Ichigo demonstrate such power at such a young age

But he didn't take his eyes off while watching the following actions

"Hakai-shin no Chōkidan" Ichigo pronounced the name of his ability while in his hand there was a sphere almost the same color as the magma while it rotated and his presence caused panic among all

He showed no mercy when under his hand and the sphere shot down with the intention of destroying everything in its path

There was no escape ...

It was impossible to escape ...

Even covering up was impossible ...

What else could they do?

... Just dying was his destiny

BOOM!
