The legend of Tiga

laugh!laugh!laugh!
It was like a basin of cold water being poured on a red-hot iron block.

The light released from Tiga's lightsaber and the contact with the negative energy in the body of the vengeful spirit are exactly the same as this.

The violent reaction caused the vengeful spirit to twitch all over, and he couldn't even hold the knife anymore. It fell to the ground with a clang. The stained blood on the surface quickly faded away, revealing the patterns engraved on the surface, which combined into ancient characters.

"Demon-slaying sword!"

Tiga immediately recognized these symbols. He had seen them on the demon-slaying sword of Iida Iiryu before. In other words, the sword held in the hand of the vengeful spirit was actually the demon-slaying sword possessed by Iida Iiryu.

It’s no wonder that Tiga didn’t recognize it at first. It was actually the demon-slaying sword of Iida Iryuu, and its style was very popular.

This is also due to the limitations of the times. In ancient times, not only was the smelting technology not very developed, but the designs were also not as diverse as they are today, and the swords basically all looked the same.

The biggest difference between Jingtian Jinglong's demon-slaying sword and other ancient swords, and also its most notable feature, is that there are many patterns engraved on the blade of the demon-slaying sword, which are combined into the style of characters. These are the runes and spells passed down by Jingtian Jinglong's master, and they have a strong inhibitory effect on demons and monsters.

Initially, Chiba Makoto had wanted to learn these mysterious spells. After all, who wouldn't want to be an "expert"?

But after actually learning the "inside story", I was greatly disappointed.

How should I put it, it is indeed effective against demons and monsters, but its power is hard to describe in a few words.

Not to mention compared with Tiga's palm light arrows, even the laser fired from the Victory Team's Hyper gun is more powerful than 99% of the talismans.

As for the remaining 1%, the great power is bought at a priceless price.

Take Jingtian Jinglong's demon-slaying sword for example. Just to forge it, Jingtian Jinglong spent most of his life's wealth, so that Jingtian Jinglong wandered for half his life and was still poor.

As for the Victory Hyper rifle, it was mass-produced in the factory, but not everyone had one. It was not because TPC could not do it, but because it wanted to prevent the proliferation of high-powered weapons.

Of course, there is no such concern and restriction now. Not only have the Brest rifles used for self-defense by the Super Victory Team already been in widespread use, but heavy weapons that are more powerful than the Brest rifles are also being produced and deployed on a large scale.

Therefore, the spells for slaying demons and eliminating evil in ancient times are like the swords in martial arts novels that can cut through iron like mud. In the ancient times when technology was not well developed, they could be invincible. But in modern times, I am afraid that even rebar can compete with the swords.

Not to mention, if you want to slay demons and eliminate evil, not only do you have to practice for ten or eight years before you can get started, but it also requires extremely high talent, which is difficult to pick out even in a million miles.

But as for laser guns, anyone can use them as long as they have eyes and hands. After ten days or half a month of training, they can be deployed to the battlefield. Even if their power is a little weaker, they can be used in large numbers.

The over-convenience and simplicity of technology is one of the reasons for the decline of "demon slayers". Another reason is the loss of inheritance. Five thousand years ago, demon hunters could kill huge creatures that could be called monsters with a sword. However, with the passage of time and the "tradition" of cherishing one's own wealth, too many unique skills were lost, which made demon hunters worse from generation to generation. Eventually,
Therefore, this once powerful demon-slaying sword was not passed down to Chiba Makoto, but was taken away by Yamada. It continued to serve as the abode of the remaining soul of Jingtian Jinglong, waiting for its enlightenment (disappearance) in this quiet mountain village.

But who could have expected that he, who thought he was going there to retire, would end up falling into the hands of the vengeful spirit that had been sealed by Jingtian Jinglong, and becoming the other party's sword. What was even more terrifying was that he was contaminated by the strange blood light that spewed out of the vengeful spirit's mouth.

Until now, there has been no sound from Jingtian Jinglong, which makes Tiga feel bad. Could it be that
Thinking of this, Tiga no longer cared about the vengeful spirit that was almost scared to death. He immediately took two steps forward, bent down and picked up the demon-slaying sword.

As soon as I grasped the hilt of the sword, my heart suddenly turned cold.

Because Jingtian Jinglong is gone, the Demon-Slaying Sword has lost its charm, which means that Jingtian Jinglong is no longer in it.

The soul is gone, could it be that it has dispersed? !
It was originally a remnant soul, and the fact that it had persisted for so long without disintegrating was a testament to its profound power.
As soon as he thought of this, he felt a strong wind coming, and Tiga subconsciously dodged.

As soon as his legs and feet moved, they followed like a shadow, leaving a series of afterimages in the air, and in an instant they were hundreds of meters away.

Looking back, I saw two thick vines whipping in the air.

Tiga had run so far before the whip-like vines fell to the ground with a loud 'bang', breaking the boulders and raising dust.

And this vine came out from the ground. As for the ice sculpture, only an empty shell was left. The scattered vines inside broke through the weak point at the bottom, then drilled into the ground to escape from the frozen area. When Tiga bent down to pick up the sword, the vines burst out from the ground and tried to launch a sneak attack, but Tiga dodged it with his extraordinary agility.

However, Tiga's gaze was not on the seemingly living vines, but through the scattered gaps in the vines, he saw the vengeful spirit whose body had become distorted, like a broken sculpture.

The red armor that originally covered the entire body has now turned into messy lines, mixed with the gray-white sludge and purple-black smoke that poured out of the vengeful spirit's body. There is no longer any majesty or domineering aura, only disgust and ugliness.

But in this mix, there was a little gold, not even as big as Tiga's little finger, but it was so conspicuous in the dim color that Tiga could see it at a glance and couldn't take his eyes off it.

Because in this golden color, a human figure could be vaguely seen.

Ida Iryu!

The tangled vines rushed towards the muddy puddle of evil spirits, as if they wanted to weave themselves into a net bag again, wrap up the "mud" and reshape it.

It is obvious that this vengeful spirit uses vines as its bones and muscles, which enabled it to transform from nothingness into solidity, and gain super-strong defense like steel and iron and fast healing like an immortal body.

However, the vines were frozen by Tiga's freezing air, and the vengeful spirits were almost driven away by Tiga's light, which is why the whole thing became a mess, revealing everything inside and out.

And now, the vengeful spirit is reshaping itself, the vines are drilling into its body, and the spirit is quickly regaining its physical form in the process.

"Aim here and stab me."

A weak but steady voice appeared in Tiga's mind. The golden light that was about to be obscured by the surging "mud" and intertwined vines suddenly became brighter. Then Jingtian Jinglong's voice sounded again: "This is its core, the stasis point of resentment. I have brought it out, but it will not last long. Please hurry up."

"Mr. Iida, but you..."

Before Tiga could finish, Jingtian Jinglong said in a calm tone: "I have spent my whole life slaying demons and eliminating evil. Rather than disappearing in the dull days, I would rather die in a vigorous battle. Please fulfill my last wish.

Besides, I have lived for so long and have seen the world a thousand years later, which is enough; and I can take away such a powerful vengeful spirit, which is worth it. Hahaha."

When he finished speaking, Jingtian Jinglong actually laughed heartily, without any fear about life and death.

".Mr. Iida!"

Tiga turned his wrist and thrust the demon-slaying sword heavily into the ground. Then he raised his arms and crossed them in front of his forehead. With a brilliant silver light, he immediately transformed into a composite form.

The hanging arms were clenched into fists and pulled to the waist, then stretched forward with force and crossed in front of the body. Then the ten fingers were straightened and the arms were spread apart.

As Tiga moved, the colorful timer on his chest burst into dazzling light. Billions of light particles gathered from all directions, condensed into light chains, and wrapped into a blade-like light band. As Tiga's arms were stretched to their maximum, the light attached to Tiga's arms.

"Bye now!"

Tiga slammed his left hand and right elbow together so hard that a few sparks flew, but the light was immediately drowned out by the dazzling golden light.

A brilliant ray of light as bright as that made of gold was released from Tiga's upright right arm, like a rain of light all over the sky, shooting towards the vengeful spirit in front. It was the golden Zaperio ray.

All the golden light on Tiga's body flowed to his right arm like water, turning into a gorgeous golden light that was emitted and accurately hit the light spot emitted by Jingtian Jinglong with his last strength.

The several-meter-thick vines blocking the middle, when touched by the golden Zaperion light, were like ice and snow touching a red-hot iron block. They melted and vaporized in an instant, leaving no ash behind. They were completely annihilated.

"Thank you for helping me!"

When the golden Zaperio light hit the vengeful spirit, in the bursting sparks, it seemed that the figure of Jingtian Jinglong was seen, wearing a hard leather armor, wearing clothes with ancient characteristics, holding a sheathed long sword in his right hand, and said with a smile: "Goodbye, Qianye, I am glad to meet you, man of light, the future belongs to you!
Go ahead, Tiga!"

boom!
The flames of the explosion surged and spread, and in an instant they were about to engulf the phantom of Jingtian Jinglong, and also caused this smoky phantom to sway and quickly dissipate in the shock wave.

But before his figure completely disappeared, Jingtian Jinglong's eyes revealed an unconcealable sadness, and his gaze turned to the right, as if he was missing someone or regretting.

"if."

This low sigh had just begun to sound when it was drowned out by the earth-shaking explosion, and the subsequent words could no longer be heard.

But maybe it didn’t have a sequel.
The flames were surging, the air waves were spreading, the dust was flying, the earth and the sky were shaking, but only Tiga dropped his arms with a sense of loss, silently watching the flames rising into the sky, rolling straight into the clouds, and in the blink of an eye it reached a height of tens of millions meters, like a giant flaming monument, expressing reluctance with its roar and parting with its heat.

"Strong people are often lonely - but they are not so lonely that they ignore the people they love - to protect the people they love throughout their lives, this is also the mission of the strong!"

The words that Jingtian Jinglong spoke to himself in the last moments were still echoing in my mind. They sounded like a self-analysis monologue, and also like a warning to future generations.

Jingtian Jinglong lived a lonely life and was alone until his death.

Not only does he put all his heart and soul into slaying demons, but he is also worried that if he has any concerns, he will be targeted and become a weakness.

But from the last words, he seemed to no longer think so, just...
It's too late to regret!

Tiga followed the direction of Jingtian Jinglong's last gaze and saw a barren forest outside Xingye Village. The branches were dry and the leaves were withered, and it had lost its vitality.

Then in an instant all the dead trees disappeared as if they had collapsed, leaving only pools of ashes on the ground.

The flames gradually dissipated as they rolled, the heat waves gradually subsided as they rolled, and the dust gradually settled as it flew.

Finally, everything fell silent, leaving only the dimness in the eyes. It was already dusk.

Under the setting sun, transport planes were running back and forth, and medical staff were shuttling back and forth.

The dazed people were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Three more Hercules helicopters lifted the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma and flew slowly to the nearest airport, where they performed simple repairs, restored their ability to take off, and then returned to the TPC headquarters for detailed inspection and repairs.

"Three planes were lost at once."

Toshiyuki Koda sighed, their crash rate was already higher than the winning team, which made him feel very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.

"Compared to this, rescuing everyone is the most important thing." Kihiko Tsunade was quite open-minded and still had the leisure to joke around.

According to the news from the medical team, preliminary examination of the trapped people showed that they were physically fine, but mentally weak. It was speculated that they were being controlled to have nightmares in order to squeeze out their negative energy.

Most people only have external injuries, and some have internal injuries, but none of them are particularly serious. They just need to rest for a while and then they can be discharged from the hospital.

This was the best news, but the bad news was that Makuo Kirino was not found, which meant that he was still missing. However, Katsumi Ikuta was found lying in a deep pit after the explosion of the vengeful spirit, with a crooked nose, slanted eyes, dull gaze, and drooling, looking like an idiot.

The diagnosis showed that his condition was not optimistic. He had already suffered a severe mental trauma and it took him a long time to recover. Now it happened again, adding insult to injury.

Based on the scene, it is not difficult to judge that Katsumi Ikuta, whose brain waves are different from those of ordinary people, is used as the center to connect these missing persons, so that the effect of controlling one person can control everyone.

It is equivalent to a master control switch, but this also resulted in Katsuma Ikuta's brain being in a state of severe overload as he has not been able to fully awaken his super powers. This has lasted for so long that the brain damage is quite serious. No one dares to guarantee whether it can be cured. He can only do his best, and the rest depends on his own luck.

There is bad news in good news, and there is good news in bad news.

Kibi Kosuke was filled with emotion. He did not expect that in this technological age, such "unscientific" things would still happen.
