Chapter 307: Genryusai Shigekuni vs. Wang Zhi (2)

Genryusai Shigekuni is a Swordsman, yet he could slash out such terrifying fire.

All of this fire was real.

And they were also the manifestation of Genryusai Shigekuni's Sword Intent.

The fire was merely an appendage of Genryusai Shigekuni's Sword Intent.

On the path of Sword Intent, Genryusai Shigekuni had walked an unknown distance.

A Swordsman, a "Flame Style" Swordsman, was actually this terrifying.

This was unimaginable.

The slash of this sword was like a natural disaster caused by a Logia-type Devil Fruit Ability User.

If Hades hadn't blocked it, it's hard to imagine how much destructive power it would have caused.

"Ryujin Jakka" is special.

It is the strongest blade of the Flame Style, capable of fully unleashing the strength of a Flame Style Swordsman, or even greater strength.

Its forging material is Magma Essence Stone, forged from endless lava in the Magma Depths.

Besides being incredibly hard, like Seastone, it contains peculiar energy.

Magma Essence Stone contains terrifying heat.

Flame Style Swordsmen can use weapons forged from it to slash out terrifying fire.

In terms of quality, Ryujin Jakka is completely on the level of a Supreme Grade Blade.

Moreover, it is in the hands of a Monster like Genryusai Shigekuni.

Wang Zhi lost, and he lost completely.

Haki, and even physique, had a slight gap compared to Genryusai Shigekuni.

Such a gap could be bridged.

Wang Zhi, who was nearly fifty years old, had an age gap of close to ten years with Genryusai Shigekuni.

And in Swordsmanship, he lost even more completely.

This was a level he found difficult to surpass.

The great battle also lasted for half a day.

After confirming he had no chance of defeating Genryusai Shigekuni, Wang Zhi proactively conceded to avoid being too disgraced.

Until Genryusai Shigekuni returned to his seat, everyone's gaze still followed him.

Without a doubt, the strength exhibited by Genryusai Shigekuni had become a great mountain standing before all competitors.

If they couldn't defeat Genryusai Shigekuni, then the Throne of the World's Strongest Swordsman would be completely out of their reach.

Regardless of who they were, they all felt immense pressure.

This "Elder" possessed terrifying strength capable of overturning mountains and seas.

Like Roger, Shiki, and the others, they were clearly aware of just how powerful Wang Zhi's strength was.

For example, Roger was confident he could defeat Wang Zhi, but it would inevitably be a pyrrhic victory.

At his current stage, he could still grow further.

He definitely couldn't do it as easily as Genryusai Shigekuni.

"This is big trouble."

Roger furrowed his brow, thinking about how he could defeat Genryusai Shigekuni.

After all, this Swordsman had no weakness whatsoever.

His only advantage might be Hearing the Voice of All Things and Conqueror's Domain.

Of course, the premise was that Genryusai Shigekuni had already used his full strength.

However, his heart was already filled with fighting spirit.

Regarding the position of World's Strongest Swordsman, it would be best if he could obtain it, but even if he failed, he wouldn't feel regret.

Redfield held his breath and focused, seemingly also recalling how to deal with Genryusai Shigekuni.

In terms of Swordsmanship, Genryusai Shigekuni undoubtedly stood at the peak of the Sword Tournament held at the Sky Arena.

This was an undeniable fact.

His advantage also lay in overall strength, but this was a Sword Tournament, and any body technique was prohibited.

To some extent, this would affect his strength.

And his mind-reading was also a clear advantage.

Hades was also thinking.

In his eyes, the only people who could ultimately battle Genryusai Shigekuni were Redfield or Roger.

Everyone else had already been eliminated.

Even Shiki, without being able to use his Float-Float Fruit, it was uncertain if he could even reach the Top 4.

Moreover, even entering the Top 8 was somewhat difficult.

The opponents he would face next were not weak in strength.

The most crucial point was whether Genryusai Shigekuni possessed Conqueror's Domain.

He wasn't clear on this.

Without knowing Genryusai Shigekuni's past experiences, it was difficult to judge what degree his aura had reached.

Roger had not yet grown to his peak.

If Genryusai Shigekuni possessed Conqueror's Domain, then Roger would face difficulties.

Conqueror's Domain and Hearing the Voice of All Things were the core of Roger's combat system.

If Conqueror's Domain was nullified, it would be very difficult to defeat Genryusai Shigekuni, especially when already at a slight disadvantage.

The undisputed Demon King of this Sword Tournament had appeared, and the fame of Genryusai Shigekuni, and even the Yuanliu Dojo, was spreading throughout the entire World.

The fifth battle, the match between Zoro and Bylear, was much more peaceful compared to the previous ones.

This kind of performance caused people to immediately pass over both of them from the list of candidates for World's Strongest Swordsman.

It didn't matter who among the two advanced.

Compared to the previous matches, their performance was simply too ordinary, significantly worse than even the eliminated Great Pirate "Five Peaks" Wang Zhi.

However, Zoro and Bylear didn't care.

Zoro's original goal was to break through the bottleneck of becoming a Great Sword Master.

Now that he had achieved it, now, he would simply enjoy the battle and then learn from other top-tier Swordsmen.

Bylear originally didn't hold much expectation for the position of World's Strongest Swordsman, and reality was just as he had guessed.

And through the platform of the Sword Tournament, he also obtained considerable gain.

Swordsmanship, naturally, requires exchange to make progress.

Of course, the most important thing was his Disciple, Mihawk, who had broadened his horizons in this Sword Tournament.

Looking at his bright eyes, they were already filled with fighting spirit, and this was what he most hoped to see.

Compared to Bylear, Zoro, who had just broken through, still had a considerable gap in swordsmanship foundation.

However, in other aspects, Zoro was not inferior to Bylear at all, and even had an advantage.

His Observation Haki had even reached the degree of Future Sight.

This made the battle between the two somewhat inseparable.

Ultimately, Bylear was slightly superior in skill, successfully defeating Zoro and advancing to the Top 8.

With the end of the battle, everyone had twelve hours of rest time.

Considering that sleep might affect the viewing experience of others, as well as the mental state of the participants.

The Sword Tournament decided to have a half-day rest every two days during the Top 8 battles.

Five matches of the Round of 16 to Top 8 battles had already passed, and more than two days had also passed.

Without rest, there would be significant depletion of energy.
