Great Voyage: Splitting the World from Wano Country
The Pirate World is Not Beautiful
The dusk is dim and the setting sun looks like blood.
The afterglow, like broken gold, under the illumination of the blood-red setting sun, spread out its light and fell on the not-so-quiet earth.
It was as if the Creator wanted to use the beautiful scenery of nature to cover up all the bloody scenes that had been seen and heard before.
To cover up all the sins of this cruel world.
However, those who are actually in it have no desire to appreciate it at all.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
For a moment, all Sakaki Ye could hear was the whistling of cold wind.
That was a series of rustling sounds caused by the wind blowing through the leaves in the dense forest.
It also made Sakaki feel more and more the coldness from the bottom of his heart.
Sakaki Ye is running away.
Or, to be more precise.
He is running for his life!
Originally, I came to this legendary world by accident.
He also felt that he was lucky.
After all, according to the plots shown in those anime.
This will be a magical world with ups and downs and magnificent events.
Moreover, when he first came into this world, all the people he met were very nice.
It was a happy, carefree time.
But when the short-lived joy is over.
All that is left is painful despair.
Normally, if one day, an adult has a certain idea.
If a huge change happens in a short period of time, then he must have been educated.
Not long ago, something really happened in front of Sakaki Ye.
It was extremely cruel, and it provided him with the nutrients for “rapid” growth.
Beneath the seemingly bright and beautiful surface of this world lies endless sin and madness.
Anyone who despises it will be swallowed up by the ruthless waves.
This is what is happening to Sakaki Ye now.
Like fish on a chopping board.
If you are not careful, you will become the target of those chasing you and being cut and chopped at will.
If you make the slightest mistake, you will be ruthlessly swallowed up by the cold current of death, leaving not even a trace of bones.
Well, maybe there will be a splash.
Or rather…bubbles.
In short, no one will care about these things.
Because, the people who care.
They are all dead!
The tip of the nose twitched slightly.
In the slightly cold wind, one can smell the scent of death.
Frustrated.
anger.
Sour.
All kinds of complex emotions intertwined and spread, and deeply stimulated Sakaki Ye.
Here, he truly experienced the cruel, ruthless and cold side of darkness.
That is the oppression and despair that comes from this world.
The rapidly increasing adrenaline rushed straight to his brain.
Sakaki couldn’t help but speed up his pace.
All he could do now was to run forward desperately.
Run faster.
Run, faster!
Sakaki Ye was originally just an ordinary person on the blue planet.
He was once named Shen Ye.
Living a monotonous, simple and ordinary life that is not worth mentioning.
Half a year before coming to this world, he traveled through time.
I unexpectedly came to this closed country that never receives outsiders.
It was an ancient feudal country that even sailing ships could not dock in.
The residents here habitually wear kimono clothing in the ancient island style.
It is commonly used, similar to the more traditional tone used in ancient feudal dynasties, to communicate with others.
Moreover, those people would also name those swordsmen with great martial arts skills as “samurai”.
This strange country is called Wano Country!
That’s right.
This world.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the hot-blooded anime series from the previous life, the world of One Piece!
At the beginning, when he realized that he might be Sakaki Ye who came to the world of One Piece, he was really excited.
After all, it’s well known.
The identity of a time traveler basically means the starting point and turning point when the peak of life is about to come.
Especially in a different world with special powers and legends.
He will also have the opportunity to obtain powerful forces that only appeared in his imagination in his previous life.
You can no longer live a revolving door-to-door life and enjoy the freedom and pleasure.
You will have the opportunity to become a powerful man who can travel across the world and split mountains and seas with a single sword.
This was indeed the case at the beginning.
Here, Shen Ye met a sword hall named “Gong Er” and was taken in.
And I completed the apprenticeship very smoothly.
Also officially changed his name to Sakaki Ye.
In this world, Sakaki Ye began to learn swordsmanship through instruction at a sword gym.
And he really learned the real swordsmanship that he had no chance to practice in his previous life.
He practiced the unique Itto-Ryu sword technique taught in Gong Er Sword Hall.
“Gong Er Yi Dao Liu”!
A sword school that is still unknown due to various reasons such as bad luck and the belief in inaction, but it is extremely practical.
The sword-fighting schools here are actually like the martial arts schools in martial arts novels.
The martial arts of different schools have different characteristics.
Learning swordsmanship can help you protect yourself and keep fit in peacetime.
In troubled times, it is a means of resisting bandits and protecting the countryside.
He met some very nice people here.
A calm and experienced master.
A gentle and virtuous master’s wife.
There are also enthusiastic fellow teachers.
Live an ordinary, warm and beautiful life.
However, it seems that literary works without suffering, choices, and the sublimation of thought are imperfect.
Fate is unpredictable.
Many times, ordinary people actually have no choice!
Accidents and mishaps come one after another…
All these beautiful things were ruined.
Everything is ruined!

This personal experience told Sakaki Ye everything.
The real world of One Piece.
In fact, it was an era of feudal chaos in which order collapsed and human life was as worthless as grass.
It is not like the hot-blooded anime in the previous life, where you just need to follow the travel route of the protagonist’s adventure group and there will be no chance of death in the fight.
This world is a distorted product of the feudal system, where the strong are respected and the law of the jungle prevails.
It was a cruel era of barbarism.
Many heroes rose up and wars broke out frequently.
The prevalence of betrayal and killing is a paradise for the strong, but also a hell for the weak.
Perhaps, since the lost past 800 years ago, there are still not many people who know the specific details.
The stories of the past have become taboos buried under the loess.
However, the era of pirates and naval separatism has indeed begun.
The spirit of the times is advancing uncontrollably.
The turmoil was accompanied by the momentum of the waves, sweeping madly towards people from all over the world.
Maybe, many people will feel that.
Until the Pirate King Roger went to the Navy Headquarters to surrender.
And before being pierced by two long naginatas at the execution ground in Rogue Town.
With the destiny of “One Piece”, he loudly declared.
The Great Pirate Age began after the Great Treasure Declaration was issued, which opened the Age of Discovery.
Actually, it is not.
In fact, the chaos of this world has already begun to show.
Just like before a volcano erupts.
The actual eruption will only occur when geothermal energy has accumulated to a certain level and the magma pressure is higher than a certain depth below the surface.
The blowout momentum that will come when the great pirate era arrives in the future is not simply a torrent triggered by the Pirate King’s last cry before his death.
Perhaps, many years later, when people mention this special era.
Some would say it is dark and cruel.
Some people would say that it is free and romantic.
Hot-blooded and passionate.
Bloody and frenetic.
Countless fighting spirits are aroused.
Countless negative emotions are intertwined.
Under this big wave, countless people will go to the sea.
Like a bloodthirsty wolf, it pounced into the turbulent ocean.
Countless warriors and passionate young people.
One after another, they try to create an infinitely better tomorrow through their own efforts or by relying on the so-called illusory luck.
In this almost irrational barbarity and madness.
Countless people will get their heads broken and bloody.
There are also countless ruffians who will take advantage of the situation and transform into dragons.
Supernova.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Even those who stand at the top of the new world and are called the Four Emperors, the strongest people who can shock all countries with their personal strength.
They are all the products of a major collision in the future.
Opportunities coexist with risks.
The sea is vast and magnificent.
It is changeable.
It is also dangerous and unpredictable.
Not everyone is Luffy, the proud son of heaven.
For ordinary people, going out to sea is actually like risking their lives.
Bet your own life and gamble on the future.
If you succeed, you will naturally reach the peak of your life.
When awake, he holds the power of the world; when drunk, he lies on the lap of a beauty; he enjoys endless wealth and glory.
But once you fail, you will be devastated, lose everything, and leave nothing behind.
In this extremely cruel and realistic super melting pot, those who can stand the test all have their own support.
Flowers in the greenhouse will wither when they encounter setbacks.
Only those who have truly emerged from hardships can be considered strong and immortal!
A truly powerful person who is famous throughout the world is not a clown who seeks to attract attention.
Almost everyone is moving forward step by step in the midst of blood and gore.
Each one of them relied on his own means to fight his way out of this bloody situation.
The road to the throne is littered with thorns and barbs.
Along the way, there are bound to be piles of corpses and rivers of blood.
The strong cannot be relied upon and may collapse in an instant.
The weak do not need to complain, they can also take advantage of the situation to rise up.
Nothing lasts forever.
No one can sit back and wait for work, sit back and relax, and achieve success once and for all.
In times of chaos, dragons and snakes are born from the grass.
The more chaotic the situation is, the more likely heroes and heroes will emerge.
As for what you see along the way, it is destined to be a sea of ??red tragic scenes.
Play, fight, and laugh.
Amidst the peace, laughter and joy, this journey that seems like sightseeing is ultimately just a presentation of entertainment.
In such a turbulent world.
It is undoubtedly extremely foolish to rely on the kindness of others for safety and peace.
Because, in this special wave that is raging in the wind and rain.
Ordinary people without powerful strength are like fragile lambs, who can only be slaughtered sadly.
The so-called peace and tranquility in normal times is nothing more than a superficial appearance of living in a corner and relying on the tolerance of others.
Once you encounter darkness, you will be easily crushed into the dust and it will be difficult to resist.
Even life and death are not up to us.
But if you have enough power, even if you really encounter injustice.
At least he could draw his sword and let blood splatter five steps away!
It turns out.
Reason is not a legal or regulatory requirement that works here.
A strong and powerful fist is the most powerful persuasion!
Power is principle.
Only with strength can you be reasonable!
The so-called rules are nothing more than relatively powerful ones created with all their might.
To find ways to control and enslave the weak and powerless as tools.
For the true nobility of this world.
They are all high and mighty beings.
Watching the weak chess pieces getting beaten to pieces on the chessboard with rules they set is just an interesting pastime.
Therefore, after facing the reality, Sakaki Ye has made a secret decision.
In the future, I will always follow a principle in my life and work.
Never rely on others’ pity.
The best situation is when you are in control of everything!
Only those who have their own power can control their own destiny.
And he will not entrust his life and future to the kindness of others.
Sakaki Ye has never been a bad person.
However, in this chaotic world, being weak is enough to send people to hell!
This chaotic era belongs to the great era of pirates.
Isn’t this the great era that ambitious people and heroes look forward to?
Endless chaos will bring countless blood and tears.
But the same.
Only extreme chaos can give birth to a brand new order!
One general s success is the result of thousands of sacrifices.
It is not only about the battlefield, but also about a contest of great era!
Only those who have fought their way out of the cruel waves of this world can have the power to redefine the world order.
Just like this ancient country with a closed-minded attitude.
Today, we are in a very complicated situation.
“Huh…” I calmed down a little, with mixed feelings.
Sakaki tightly grasped the hilt of the long sword in his right hand.
This will be the only thing Sakaki Ye can trust from now on.
He will face the storm of killing alone.
Although, Sakaki Ye actually felt that he was not ready to fight a life-and-death battle with others.
But, he can do it.
When you have to fight with others for survival.
Since, we want to see who is crazier and more cruel.
Then Sakaki Ye won t be afraid!
In fact, no one lacks blood.
It just depends on whether you choose to follow your heart or go against your heart when facing the affairs of the world.
Since the beginning of his escape, Sakaki Ye has always had a blank expression on his face.
At this moment, a shadow of murderous intent finally appeared on his face.
Almost there.
Almost there!
Muttering to myself.
Sakaki Ye’s eyes were filled with depth.
Looked at the path ahead.
Let s go a little deeper.
Go deeper into the dense forest.
Just a little bit is enough.
Got there.
That’s when he started to fight back.
His gaze was extremely obscure as he withdrew from the woods not far away.
An assumption quickly came to his mind.
Counterattack!
He was going to start fighting back.
Next, Sakaki Ye will take advantage of the terrain of this dense forest to kill the pursuers behind him one by one!
This densely wooded forest was not really the place where he had fled in a panic, trying to escape!
This is also the battlefield where Sakaki Ye will launch a counterattack!
This is the grave where he will bury these swordsmen in revenge!
Three Anti-Hunting (Old Version)
“Something’s happening!”
“Uhhhhhh!”
“careful!”
“There! That damned fellow!”
Along with the dense “swoosh swoosh” sound of breaking through the air, a series of metal clashing sounds also rang out one after another in the dense forest.
There were shouts of astonishment and screams of pain.
They began to rise and fall one after another, and gradually spread out in the wilderness.
Not long after, an unpleasant and pungent smell of blood gradually spread in the air.
Not long ago, everything was reversed.
Originally, it was just a hunt that was determined to win.
However, due to the swift counterattack of the pursuers, the situation suddenly became confusing.
The dense trees became an obstacle that separated the pursuing swordsmen.
The formation of those who were chasing Sakaki Ye began to be strained due to the terrain.
I originally thought that with so many people chasing after him, a mere fish that escaped the net would be easily captured.
Unexpectedly, they actually let the other party escape into the forest, and they were even covered in dirt.
whoosh!
A swordsman wearing a conical hat and carrying a sword was running through the dense forest when he suddenly stopped.
Click.
Contract your palms.
Almost as a conditioned reflex, he grasped the handle of the sword at his waist.
“…” The swordsman with the sword had a sharp look in his eyes, which suddenly froze.
His footsteps were slightly staggered.
This is to quickly adjust your body shape by adjusting your posture.
His past experience enabled him to do it very quickly and get into the best posture to draw his sword at any time.
He is not an inexperienced novice.
They are not those hangers-on who usually do nothing but swarm in like they smell blood because of a small reward.
But he had been to the battlefield and had seen the bloody soldiers.
He has taken more than one life at his disposal.
Of course, I am not too unfamiliar with the taste of death.
Therefore, since entering this area, the swordsman’s nose just twitched, and he was keenly aware of a familiar bloody smell.
It seems that more than one companion has been attacked and killed.
Really… an extraordinary opponent!
The swordsman’s eyes suddenly became heavy.
He began to consciously observe the clues on the ground.
Moss marks are traces of friction.
And human footprints!
Crash.
Suddenly, there was a series of dense rustling sounds in the woods not far away.
The swordsman, feeling the inexplicable threat, immediately raised his vigilance.
Moreover, he quickly assumed a posture to meet the enemy as if facing a formidable enemy.
Dare not be careless in the slightest.
He was seizing the time, quickly sensing the situation around him.
And search as much as possible for the enemy’s location.
The other party was obviously conducting counter-hunting.
Clang!
With the clanging sound of the blade being unsheathed.
The swordsman’s hands suddenly clenched the handle of the sword he had already pulled out.
Squint slightly.
Found it!
The next moment, without hesitation, he swung quickly to the side.
In his perception.
There should be someone in that place!
Well, then, go to hell!
A ferocious look emerged on the swordsman’s face.
There is still a hint of complacency.
He is a veteran fighter, do you want to launch a sneak attack on him?
No way!
clang!
The sharp edge of the blade even reflected a dazzling white rainbow in the air because the swordsman swung it too hard.
However, the result of this powerful attack was a feeling of emptiness in the hand.
not good!
The ferocious smile that had just appeared on the swordsman’s lips suddenly disappeared.
His brows suddenly furrowed.
Because, the blade he swung out didn’t hit the target at all!
Then…I might be in danger next!
I believe that the enemy lurking in the dark will definitely not let go of this opportunity!
The swordsman raised his eyes almost instinctively in alertness.
As expected.
In the next moment, a strong murderous intent came with a sharp edge.
The sharp sword edge made the swordsman feel very uneasy.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have time to react.
The other party didn’t give him any chance to react.
“Itsukushin-beheading!”
Some low voices also sounded at the same time.
The sharp sword shadow flashed over.
The sharp sword light swept wherever it went.
Instantly, it splashed out in large amounts of sticky, bright-colored blood.
Like dancing snowflakes, splashing out.
Puff!
The next moment, the clear sound of flesh tearing was heard.
Immediately afterwards, the swordsman, who was still vaguely shocked, was suddenly cut away by a sword that appeared suddenly.
The skill really lives up to its name.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
The huge hole in the brain was madly facing outward, spurting out a lot of blood.
The amount of blood that gushed out was like a fountain.
It was a baptism at close range, and the face of another swordsman who was close at hand was covered with it.
Ahhhh!
The swordsman whose face was splashed with blood, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip.
His expression gradually became filled with fear.
Even if he is a swordsman who has experienced many battles.
Witnessing and experiencing such a bloody and cruel scene at such a close distance was a bit unbearable.
Especially, when the object of death loses its life.
Or the companion he was talking to just a second ago would make him feel terrified.
Moreover, the large amount of blood gushing out also blocked his vision.
For a moment, he was unable to determine the possible location of the enemy.
He could only wipe his face with one hand while waving the sword in his hand wildly with the other.
The attempt is to use this to scare the other party.
If only he could quickly wipe away the blood on his face that was obscuring his vision.
As long as he can regain his sight as soon as possible
He was confident that he could take care of the guy in a one-on-one fight.
Of course, this is undoubtedly a daydream.
Because he had already been listed as a target for assassination.
The next moment, another sharp cold light swept over.
While you are sick, I will kill you!
The sharp blade that could kill with one blow suddenly pierced the helpless swordsman’s throat.
The sharp tip of the sword pierced directly and violently into the side of the swordsman’s neck.
And it came out of his throat cleanly and neatly.
With a clang, the weapon fell to the ground.
The swordsman’s eyes began to empty.
His legs went limp and he fell to the ground.
The result was that his hands were freed up and kept cramping.
Unconsciously, he touched his neck which had been pierced.
“Hehehe…” He seemed to want to say something.
However, what spurted out of his mouth was sticky blood that was hot and bloody.
There was only a faint gurgling sound mixed in, and the meaning of the sound was unclear.
Plop!
Silence was restored. ?
The broken body, covered in thick blood, fell to the ground, unable to move at all.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
What Begins in Blood Must End in Blood (Old Version)
Just like this, these two swordsmen can be considered to be experienced in many battles.
Facing the vengeful god of death who was condensed with evil spirit and transformed into an assassin, he attacked quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.
He didn’t even react to what was happening.
It was straightforward, he lost his life.
Immediately, both bodies collapsed to the ground.
It was like broken garbage dumped aside, gradually dyeing the ground red.
Completely out of breath.
“Huff…Huff…”
His chest heaved and he breathed slightly, and in Sakaki Ye’s eyes, there were sharp, cold rays flashing.
It seemed like a quick, accurate and ruthless surprise attack and kill.
In fact, it was a counterattack he had planned for a long time.
Sakaki did not become complacent because of this.
He knew it clearly in his heart.
The two men who fell were true swordsmen, and their hands were stained with blood.
It’s not that easy to kill the opponent casually.
It was thanks to the other party’s carelessness, and his arrogance that he might not take himself seriously, that he was able to take advantage of the opportunity.
Speaking of which.
This was the first time that Sakaki Ye, who had lived two lives, killed someone with his own hands.
Seeing the enemy’s throat cut by the sharp blade he had swung, blood gushed out of the wound like a fountain.
Looking at the fresh life that was taken away in an instant by his sudden attack.
Sakaki Ye would also feel disgusted and a strong sense of guilt from the bottom of his heart.
This is not the Virgin Mary.
It’s human instinct.
Perhaps, as a social life form.
Deep in the genes of the human species, there is a hatred for the act of killing one’s own kind.
If one is not born a bad species, who would be keen on killing his own kind?
As the adrenaline wears off.
A cruel and bloody scene appeared in Sakaki’s eyes…
Originally, Sakaki Ye also thought that he would feel scared, nauseous, and vomit because of killing someone.
It may even lead to resistance or even stress reactions.
But, fortunately, he didn’t.
There was just a slight depression in my heart, which was quickly eliminated by my own will.
He was mentally prepared.
This is destined to be a battle that will not be easily stopped.
Being afraid before the battle begins will only make things worse.
Therefore, at this moment, he needs to abandon all his gentleness, courtesy, frugality and modesty, and only pursue victory!
Whether it is passive or subjectively forcing yourself.
Ordinary people who don’t even dare to kill a chicken and ordinary people who will vomit at the sight of a corpse can only appear in a peaceful world without supernatural powers.
Because what they fear is not the corpse, but death and the unknown that brings death.
When you are able to know all the causes and consequences, and you have the ability to create the same scene effortlessly.
Then the physiological reaction of dry retching can be easily suppressed.
At most, there would be some physical discomfort.
When it comes to life and death issues, any physical discomfort can be quickly accepted.
Because, as long as you are not scared silly the first time.
Then, the desire to survive is enough to make people overcome these problems that should not be problems as soon as possible.
At this moment, what was surging in Sakaki Ye’s blood vessels was not only the fear and trembling that ordinary people would have.
At the same time, there is also the excitement and expectation that arises when facing a crisis.
This feeling is very wonderful and intoxicating.
It is something my previous life self has never experienced before.
I want to increase my courage and get familiar with blood.
The quickest way is to dance with death at close range.
People’s fear of the unknown all comes from their own weakness.
Taking the first step is undoubtedly the most difficult.
However, once you take the first step, all you need to do is adapt faster.
All Sakaki Ye needs to do now is to kill anyone he sees.
Since there is no way to retreat, there is no way to escape.
The only way out is to try your best and give it a try.
Fear and terror have been completely forgotten!
It turns out that leaving your destiny to the illusory world of luck is a bad thing.
It’s just the ostrich’s wishful self-escape.
The result is often not what you want.
Sakaki Ye’s character naturally determines that he will not give up his hatred easily.
I would rather die standing than live on my knees.
huff.
His breathing seemed to become heavy all of a sudden.
The whole person gave people the feeling of a ferocious beast, who had just completely cut off all the chains attached to his body!
Sakaki Ye is not the type of Madonna.
He is the kind of person who either doesn’t do anything or does it as fast as the wind.
As long as you don’t regret everything you have done.
No matter how difficult and thorny things develop next, Sakaki Ye can continue to move forward with a clear conscience!
What we need to do next is to wait for those guys to come and die.
bring it on.
I’m ready to fight.
This dense forest.
Either leave me alone today or bury me.
Between breaths, Sakaki Ye half leaned against the big tree and slightly closed his eyes.
Regulate your own breath.
Next, he will start to seize the time and recuperate.
No matter what happens next.
Maintaining physical strength and basic calmness are the most important things.
This bloody beginning was just a declaration.
It is also destined to end with an even more glaring bloody color.
5. Rough Deterrence (Old Version)
“Haha, I finally found you!”
He swung the blade in his hand quickly, roughly pushing aside the strong grass along the way.
A relatively tall and thin swordsman, with a little excitement and hostility, strode towards Sakaki Ye, who had been waiting for a long time.
Swish!
The tall and thin swordsman exerted force with his feet.
The whole person leaped up.
At the same time, he swung his arm and chopped the blade high up, viciously towards the shoulder of Sakaki Ye who was stepping back.
call!
The knife was so sharp that it made a piercing sound as if the air was being cut rapidly.
And Sakaki Ye just retreated half a step calmly.
This allows him to be in just the right position to dodge the opponent’s attack.
The attack was fruitless.
The tall and thin swordsman who landed on the ground quickly straightened his leg muscles.
Adjust your posture and be careful not to be exploited by Sakaki Ye to counterattack.
Fortunately, the opponent seemed to be frightened by his attack and momentum.
He just kept retreating and didn’t dare to fight back at all.
hehe.
Stupid guy.
Looking at the other person’s face that looks particularly childish.
The tall and thin swordsman sneered in his heart.
No wonder.
Judging from the other person’s appearance, he is probably only about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Such a naive guy, if something hadn’t happened in their sword hall, they would have been wiped out by the order of that adult.
The other party should still be in the sword gym, learning basic kendo knowledge, right?
Hehe, in that case, don t blame him for bullying the weak.
It s their fault that the sword hall is so short-sighted. Why offend anyone else but that famous person?
I guess it must have been very tiring to escape during these two days.
Then let him be a good person and send the people from the sword hall to reunite!
In a flash, such a thought flashed through the tall and thin swordsman’s mind.
While expressing some disdain for Sakaki Ye’s “submissive” fighting style, the tall and thin swordsman decided to let go.
His previous caution was completely unnecessary.
The other party is just a fish that slipped through the net.
Even if they were forced to fight, they would just be weak chickens waiting to be slaughtered by him.
It s better to finish the game early and claim the reward sooner.
Otherwise, if it drags on for too long and attracts other people, you will have to pay out part of the money.
Do what you say.
Tightening his leg muscles, the tall and thin swordsman quickly exerted force at the base of his hind legs in a short period of time.
He rushed forward with his feet and thrust his body forward.
Another knife whistled towards him fiercely.
Sakaki still did not rush to counterattack.
Just keep defending.
Or dodge.
This was no ordinary sword fight.
What is going on is not martial arts training, so we need to hold back to avoid hurting our opponent.
This is a life-and-death battle, and every blow of the knife and sword must be made without mercy.
Similarly, compared to the competition stage, you can stop and rest to relieve fatigue when you feel physically exhausted.
In a real fight, the enemy will not give you a chance to breathe.
Therefore, every use of energy needs to be considered carefully.
The enemy that Sakaki Ye needs to face is definitely not just the tall and thin swordsman in front of him.
He needs to retain enough strength to prepare for more combat needs.
The bright cold light was like a whistling cold wind, fleeting and so fast that it could hardly be captured by the naked eye.
Sakaki swung his sword with minimal effort, resisting round after round of attacks from the tall and thin swordsman.
The knife-holding posture also changed slightly during the parrying.
Sakaki adjusted his body’s center of gravity to one that was more suitable for holding a knife.
No one taught him how to do it.
It was the first time that Sakaki Ye faced off against someone for the purpose of fighting head-on. During the fierce battle, he relied on his intuition and instinct to adjust his sword skills to become more refined.
The footsteps coordinate with the body’s turns, adjusting the body’s posture to one that is more suitable for holding the sword.
The correction in his posture made his dodging easier.
He kept moving his feet to constantly drain his opponent’s strength.
The effect is still very significant.
The battle lasted for a long time without any victory.
This made the tall and thin swordsman more and more impatient.
The tall and thin swordsman’s chest rose and fell, and he breathed slightly.
Real fighting is not like playing games where you just have to keep pressing buttons to release skills.
Continuous attack consumes one’s own physical energy.
Just after that mighty downward strike, perhaps because his arms were sore or he did not stand firmly, his feet staggered slightly.
Sakaki Ye’s seemingly calm eyes suddenly froze.
At this moment, the lines on his face looked particularly sharp and cold.
The eyes were as black as a deep pool, dark and depressing.
This is the moment he has been waiting for!
Adjust your breathing.
Step in quickly.
He closed the distance between himself and the tall and thin swordsman, bent his upper body, and thrust the sword in his hand forward.
The sword in his hand moved at a speed that was fast enough to make people dizzy.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
This is an almost common knowledge.
Therefore, among all the sword skills of various schools, the sword skills that can attack the enemy first are basically stabbing skills performed in a penetrating manner.
In fact, there are no exceptions.
After all, compared to other methods, you have to draw an arc first, such as slashing and chopping.
The stab that can draw a straight line and attack the enemy is obviously faster.
During this process, Sakaki Ye’s movements were done in one go, as smooth as flowing water.
Zheng.
Sakaki raised the sword in his hand and assumed the starting stance of some kind of swordsmanship.
The dim light reflected by the blade also reflected the biting cold.
Tick-tick.
The bloody and sticky blood slid down the sharp edge of the sword.
????The relatively tall and thin swordsman in front of me.
This time, he was the target chosen by Sakaki Ye.
A cold and sharp wind blew in his face, before he could make any reaction.
There was a flash of light before my eyes.
All that was left was a sharp sound of breaking wind.
Before he could react, the tall and thin swordsman, who was already somewhat exhausted, felt a chill in his throat.
A stream of steaming liquid gushed out immediately afterwards, seeping and spreading onto the lapels.
The two men passed each other. He looked at Sakaki Ye’s profile in confusion, staggered back, his eyes wide open, and a half-foot long blood line appeared on his neck.
Then blood gushed out like a fountain!
The bright red blood splashed onto the ground, creating gorgeous blood flowers.
And there was some blood on Sakaki Ye’s cold and expressionless face.
A pair of sharp eyes, looking straight ahead.
It seemed as if nothing could stop him from moving forward.
“What a sharp knife…”
????Bang! !
????Sakaki Ye s figure left quickly.
The swordsman’s body also fell heavily to the ground.
Amid the flying dust, blood was oozing out of his mouth and nose.
Clean and neat, killing with one blow!
This is just the beginning.
On the surface, Sakaki Ye quickly became expressionless again.
However, anyone at this moment can do it very easily.
Beneath this expressionless appearance, one can clearly feel that a surge of emotions is brewing and fermenting.
It seems that there is a repressive force hidden in it…
There is someone who is truly hiding a sharp edge in the ravine.
Even on ordinary days, no matter how hard you try to cover it up with smooth dealings and an ordinary appearance.
When faced with a truly tit-for-tat situation, the hidden and dormant sharpness will inevitably break through the skin and come out.
The most realistic blood was revealed underneath.
Sakaki naturally also had some resentment that he had always suppressed beneath the surface.
Normally, he tried his best to suppress his violent and negative emotions.
But, when you can no longer bear it, you don’t need to bear it anymore!
Negative emotions such as rage and mania are transformed into the hottest heat current.
All of them were vented out at once along with the surging murderous energy.
Pah.
He stretched out his hand and pushed, looking at the corpse falling to the ground again in front of him, there was still no expression on Sakaki Ye’s face.
Only the blood-stained sword in his hand was still flashing with a strange rainbow light.
There was a murderous light in the darkness.
With a sharp blade in hand, a man should kill!
If he had to use violence to achieve his goal, he would raise his sword and strike without hesitation.
Sakaki Ye did not have any extra time, nor did he intend to do too much with the corpses.
However, killing itself is the best response to brutality.
Such a bloody and brutal deterrence.
It was enough to make the search atmosphere, which had just been going on for a short time, completely chaotic.
Six prey, or hunter (old version)
“Oh no! Matsushita-kun and Tano-kun have both been killed!”
“What! That guy actually dared to fight back!”
“Quick! Catch up with him and teach him a lesson!”
“That guy was alone, he must have been gone not long ago!”
“Actually, he has been hiding until now?”
“Damn recalcitrant.”
“Kill him and avenge them!”
In the dense forest behind him, there were continuous shouting and roaring sounds.
At this time, Sakaki Ye, who had been sneaking quietly in the woods, pricked up his ears to the side and secretly memorized the directions of these scattered sounds.
These guys, perhaps relying on their numbers, had no intention of concealing their figures.
In this way, Sakaki Ye can capture the source of the sound more easily.
Thus, the approximate location of the pursuers could be further confirmed.
Sakaki Ye had just deliberately left the bodies of the two swordsmen who had been killed by sneak attacks there, for this very purpose.
By using this to provoke the other party, they will reveal their position on their own initiative because of their anger.
In this regard, Sakaki Ye’s calculations were relatively accurate.
After seeing their side, the accomplice who took the lead in chasing was killed by the prey he was supposed to be chasing.
The bodies were also randomly abandoned in the wilderness.
This immediately angered the executioners who were accustomed to taking human lives.
Even in the eyes of those swordsmen who were chasing after them.
This is the provocation from Sakaki Ye.
This is a provocation from a prey that should have surrendered and died obediently!
You know, these people are the minions used by the rich to clean up the “garbage”.
Those hangers-on don’t count.
Just these swordsmen who have retired from the battlefield.
They don t even know how many innocent lives have been lost on their hands.
How could they possibly tolerate the counterattack from what they saw as their prey?
I have to say.
In the Wano Country, the “isolation order” that lasted for hundreds of years was really too long.
The long-standing policy of seclusion and non-contact with the outside world has strictly restricted external economic, cultural, scientific and other exchanges.
The most prominent manifestation of the policy of “closing the country to the outside world” is the various restrictive policies on overseas trade.
The most serious of these was the maritime ban.
Secondly, it is for one-stop customs clearance, and then for other restrictive policies.
The policy on maritime ban became increasingly strict. Although it played a role in self-protection, it greatly hindered the exchange and development of foreign knowledge among the people of Wanzhi.
Over the long period of hundreds of years, the people of Wano Country, from the meat-eaters to the ordinary people, have gradually become narrow-minded and arrogant.
Compared to the four seas and the people of the countries under the world government in the new world.
The people of Wano Country seem to lack some common sense.
In terms of folk customs and practices, they also appear to be somewhat tough.
Ordinary conflicts can easily escalate from verbal disputes to physical fights.
What s more, these guys are holding sharp blades?
You know, there is a saying here that “everything is inferior, only the warrior is superior.”
In order to highlight the noble status of the samurai, the Wano Country Shogunate specially enacted laws to stipulate many privileges that only the samurai class, which was the ruling class, could enjoy.
Among them, one of the most important privileges possessed by the samurai was the right to bear a sword.
The word “Wu” can be said to be one of the most important attributes of the samurai class.
It is precisely because of the samurai’s right to wear swords that the sword has become a symbol of the samurai.
At the same time, the development of swordsmanship in Wano Country also began to flourish.
This relatively long period of isolation from the outside world was also a special era when the swordsmanship of Wano Country flourished.
There are various sword schools.
No matter what time it is, there has never been a shortage of swordsmen and great swordsmen.
However, the improvement of swordsmanship does not mean that the overall level of Wano Country will rise.
A long period of isolation from the outside world will eventually bring about corresponding disadvantages.
Short-sightedness, the limitations of human beings…
All these things also restrict their vision.
It’s just an existence standing at the bottom of the well, even if it tries hard to stick its head out.
All you can see is the sky limited by the wellhead.
So, next.
What Sakaki Ye wanted to do was to anger these usually “arrogant” swordsmen and those idle hangers-on.
Detonate their anger.
This then affects their emotions.
When people are in a state of anger, they are easily affected by their emotions, causing them to become irritable and irritable.
Once a person is under stress for a long time, his or her ability to regulate emotions may decline, so that even small stimuli may trigger strong emotional reactions.
At that time, you will completely lose your normal judgment and continue to be obsessed.
In this way, Sakaki Ye can find peace in the chaos.
Get more opportunities.
As expected, these swordsmen who attempted to hunt down Sakaki Ye through encirclement and encirclement were really like enraged hyenas.
They began to gather in groups and rushed in the same direction at an accelerated speed.
There, was Sakaki Ye, who was all alone.
Next, these people will go crazy to encircle and attack the other side.
The best thing would be to let that ignorant kid feel it clearly.
What is the feeling of living a life worse than death!
For a moment, in the dense forest, evil spirit gathered and murderous intent was everywhere.
I just don t know who will kill whom in the end.
It looks like prey that is fleeing and hiding.
It is also possible to change one’s identity at any time and place, and transform oneself into a hunter waiting for prey.
The murderer will sometimes become the target of murder!
Seven Gaming Mane Dog (Old Version)
“Ittoryu – Heavy Rain!”
A clear shout, as sharp as the breaking of dawn, swept out.
The miserable and painful wails also came one after another.
There!
“Chase!”
Ahhh! Run! This guy is not that simple!
“No matter what his situation is, chase him and kill him!”
In the deep forest.
The shouts and cries of human beings came one after another, chattering endlessly.
Hysterical roars were interspersed with clanging sounds.
The sound of flesh being chopped off was endless.
Countless swords and sabers whizzed out.
The figures, arguing with each other, passed by each other.
Phew!
After a brief silence, a large amount of blood spurted out wildly from the desperate swordsman’s chest.
Generally speaking, the depth of the incision on the surface skin of the human body only needs to be two millimeters, or even shallower, which is enough to cause bleeding.
Such a big pull.
The cuts and the blood that was squeezed out were extremely thick.
However, Sakaki, who was bathed in blood, did not stop.
The body shook and the toes exerted force at the same time.
He rubbed the ground violently with the soles of his feet.
The leg muscles suddenly tensed up.
A noticeable energy surged up along with the strength in his calves.
It was injected into his waist and quickly interacted with his straight spine.
Buzz!
Qi and strength quickly condensed into one.
It poured into the arm, and then stabbed out fiercely with Sakakiye’s sword.
The evil spirit is rising!
The extremely sharp sword light made a clanging sound.
There aren’t any fancy sword skills.
There was only a simple, yet extremely practical slash.
He slashed the air in front of him with a sharp and powerful blow.
The extremely sharp sound of breaking wind makes people feel as if their eardrums are about to be cut.
Clean and neat, without any unnecessary movements.
Moreover, it is full of momentum and power.
During the time that Sakaki Ye studied in the sword gym, he really studied kendo diligently and practiced hard.
Now, all of them have turned into killing moves.
The sword striking techniques include pulling, hitting, stabbing, and poking.
The characteristics of swordsmanship are lightness, agility, elegance and grace.
Therefore, there is a saying that the sword moves in American style and the sword is as fast as the wind.
At this time, the sword tip made a slight sound.
In the air, cold flowers bloomed and whistled, as if they were going to pierce through the void.
Bloody, flying.
Sakaki could feel it.
At this moment, I am exceptionally calm.
In just a very short time, he had adapted to the current situation.
It is different from the martial arts routines of previous lives that focused on smooth movements and beautiful postures.
The martial arts of this era are truly for fighting and are very practical.
Real combat is often about determining success or failure with just one strike.
No extra flower stands.
Viscous plasma and broken bones splattered everywhere.
In fact, at the very beginning.
With the big swing, there was a feeling of large amounts of fine gravel impacting, mixed with hot and foul air, rushing towards him.
At that moment, Sakaki Ye felt that his heart was almost stopping.
In his previous life, Sakaki Ye had only seen the evil nature of human nature in books and movies.
He had only ever killed people in games and in his imagination, like a cold-blooded killer.
Even up to today, Sakaki Ye has basically only practiced sword fighting with his fellow disciples who are also disciples of Gong Er Sword Hall.
You know, when I was sparring with my fellow brothers.
They all came to spar with Sakaki Ye with a friendly attitude and did not want to hurt Sakaki Ye.
There was no murderous intent attached to their swords.
But these attacking swordsmen in front of me are also good.
Just a hanger-on who assists in the feint attack.
All of them wanted to fight with Sakaki Ye with the attitude of killing him, even if it meant getting injured.
In the past, the few confrontations that occurred were all open and aboveboard duels.
A fight between one and many.
He had never tried it before.
Therefore, there is also a lack of relevant experience.
Fortunately, Sakaki Ye adapted as quickly as possible.
Perhaps, only a heart that has experienced a true nightmare can be tempered as hard as iron.
Sakaki’s eyes narrowed.
He could naturally tell the difference between taking risks and seeking death.
Before taking action, he had already made the corresponding mental preparations.
The blood that longs for adventure flows rapidly through Sakaki Ye’s limbs and bones.
It gave him the courage and strength to face challenges.
Even the feel of holding the sword seemed to have changed.
His thoughts gradually calmed down.
Faced with a clear disadvantage in numbers.
Sakaki Ye needs to keep a calm mind, choose the right time to attack during the battle, and grasp the corresponding attack method and angle.
Sakaki Ye was very clear in his mind.
These swordsmen are very obvious “bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong”.
Their attributes are very similar to those of the bristle dog.
What he is best at is bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
When facing guys like this, he must be tougher than them.
Once you retreat, those guys will chase you more and more vigorously.
But if he could play tough.
Then, the opponent’s pursuit will become hesitant!
Mentality is also part of strength.
The more it can influence the other person’s mentality.
The more opportunities Sakaki Ye will have in the next battle.
Just as he had previously used the terrain of the dense forest to divide the battlefield.
Only by separating these guys can he defeat them one by one and take advantage of their opportunity.

Eight Insightful Talents (Old Version)
Leaning sideways, Sakaki Ye clenched his hand on the hilt of the sword, holding it in his palm.
times!
Cut suddenly horizontally.
The next second, a large amount of blood gushed out wildly.
The burst poured onto the ground.
The strong smell of blood, along with the hot air, filled his nostrils.
However, that was all blood from the enemies.
His eyes were sparkling.
Like a burst of divine lightning, it cuts through the darkness of night and the light of dawn.
The next moment, Sakaki Ye continued with his regular steps and rushed out suddenly.
????As the pace moves forward.
A powerful force rushed up from his legs, passed through his waist, abdomen, spine, surged to his back and shoulders, and then gushed out from Sakaki Ye’s arms again.
Plop!
Another hanger-on with a hideous and distorted look of fear on his face has now fallen to the ground.
Large amounts of blood, like a fountain, soaked the ground.
“What are you afraid of?” Sakaki Ye’s cold voice sounded.
Seemingly calm words.
The question seemed to be asked softly.
But it can make everyone who faces him feel the same way.
Beneath that calm, there was a heavy feeling like a tsunami gathering and a mountain towering overhead.
It was a mixture of anger and majesty.
Madness is like gravity.
It turns out that if a person wants to fall into a state of madness.
Actually, it’s very easy.
All you need is someone to give you a gentle push from behind.
People who are in it will be deeply involved in it without hesitation, and even become unable to extricate themselves.
A lot of times, that’s just the way it is.
Before making the final choice, perhaps because of the multiple options, people can’t help but worry about gains and losses and feel at a loss.
But once all the choices before you disappear, only one is left.
Then do your best to do your best for the only choice in front of you!
Survival of the fittest!
Faced with a life-and-death crisis, whose hands can remain free of blood?
What’s more, this world is not Sakaki Ye’s original world.
There is no real home for him here.
This is especially true since Gong Er Sword Hall, which had taken him in, had also been destroyed.
Sakaki Ye, who had finally settled down in this strange world, became rootless again, just like duckweed on the river.
From now on, it will be the same for him no matter where he is.
All I need is a bed to sleep in.
Sakaki Ye is not someone who cannot endure hardship.
Even if you use the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed, it is not impossible.
But.
Blood debt must be paid with blood!
Sakaki Ye seems kind, but he is also the type of person who will not offend others unless they offend me.
If someone offends him, he will bite back fiercely even at the risk of his life.
The sword tip shook, making a slight sound.
After taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, Sakaki Ye’s black pupils seemed to contain a sea of ??stars.
With his body as firm as a pine tree, he exerted force with his feet.
Sakaki Ye’s figure flashed out.
His whole body was filled with a fierce murderous aura, and he moved forward aggressively.
The sword light came out of nowhere and slashed down.
With a turn, he sternly killed a swordsman who was eager to try. ??
The long knife entered his throat, and blood mist splattered.
???It s cruel, yet has a strange sense of beauty.
The whole action was neat and clean.
There was no drag at all.
Then, the footsteps became staggered.
Sakaki’s eyes suddenly froze.
His wrist moved flexibly as his body turned.
He dodged sideways and the sword was about to strike with force.
The other party’s movements seemed to slow down in his eyes.
Following Sakaki Ye s gaze.
The bodies of the living creatures moving around him will become transparent.
In this state, Sakaki’s own movement speed, attack prediction and avoidance capabilities will be significantly improved.
It’s even like seeing through, the blood flow in the opponent’s body can be clearly seen.
This is the talent that Sakaki Ye possesses.
After coming to this world, it seems like I was born with a powerful talent.
Or it could be said that it was a special posture controlled by him.
In this posture, Sakaki Ye can also clearly grasp the frequency of his muscle contractions according to his needs.
He can also accelerate perception so that the enemy’s actions will appear to slow down in his eyes.
On the first day of traveling to this world, Sakaki Ye had already awakened this terrifying ability that was almost innate.
As long as he wants.
From Sakaki Ye’s perspective, every organ and vital part of the other person’s body can become clearly visible because of his almost X-ray ability.
This is not a product of this world, but more like a reward for traveling through time and space.
This is Sakaki Ye’s talent!
In battle, the effect of this talent is very significant.
Sakaki Ye is able to detect the slightest flaws in his opponent at the moment of fighting.
When Sakaki Ye was fully focused, the opponent’s body was covered with black lines and graffiti-like cracks. ?
By cutting these veins, the opponent can be led directly to death.
As long as he can really capture the opponent’s flaws, break the opponent’s defense, and implement his attack on the opponent.
Then it is not impossible to display the sword master’s demeanor of killing one person every ten steps and leaving no trace in a thousand miles.
At that time, it would really be possible to kill everything like a whirlwind.
Of course, although this ability is powerful, it has limitations that can be called fatal.
That is, only by cutting into the flaw line can the effect of the ability be exerted. ?
In other words, even if you can target the opponent’s weaknesses, it can cause terrible enough damage.
But if you can’t hit it, it will be of no use.
9 Even if you kill someone by mistake, you must never let him go (old version)
“ah!”
A thin man in front of him raised his head and screamed.
There were obvious scars on his chest.
The whole person fell face up to the ground.
It was already a breath, and it quickly dissipated.
Go to hell!
Just as Sakaki killed the thin man cleanly and neatly, a man in black, with his waist bent, arms open, and a ferocious face, rushed towards Sakaki.
What he was best at was taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack when his companions were entangled with the enemy.
At this time, the opportunity created by the death of a companion will not be wasted.
Especially when facing multiple enemies.
If the other person is alone.
If you are entangled and blocked, you will definitely fail!
Faced with the black-clad man’s attempt to hug him, Sakaki Ye’s reaction was very simple and direct.
He used his left foot as a fulcrum and kept his grip on the ground.
The right foot swept out like a powerful python.
Boom!
The surging force broke through the air, bringing about a series of roars.
Bang!
The next second, the man in black groaned.
He felt that what fell on him was not a leg, but a hammer weighing thousands of pounds!
Ka-ka-ka!
The man in black flew out horizontally like a kite with a broken string.
All over his body, he could still vaguely hear the sound of bones cracking, like frying beans.
By the way, a companion who was trying to pounce on him from the side was also knocked to the ground.
Sakaki Ye exerted force on his feet and his figure flashed out quickly.
Puff! ?
With a tearing sound like silk tearing, the sharp blade sank into the muscles of a pair of arms, easily cutting through them and passing through everything. ?
The bright red blood and the powerful arms flew into the air at the same time and fell to the ground. ?
The man let out a hysterical, howling cry.
The broken part of the arm was gushing out a large amount of blood like a fountain. ?
That scene was extremely bloody and cruel. ?
For ordinary people who still live in peacetime and are under the protection of our great motherland.
Such a scene was enough to make his face pale and suddenly lose color. ?
However, Sakaki Ye remained indifferent from beginning to end, and his eyes and expression were calm to a terrifying degree. ?
His face was stained with blood. ?
A shrill cry of pain echoed in my ears. ?
Under such circumstances, Sakaki Ye didn’t even stop.
He spun around as he brushed past the enemy who had lost an arm.
Without hesitation.
The blade cuts the enemy’s throat.
The sword blade pierced through the enemy’s body.
Sakaki Ye was not afraid at all of the sharp swords that were struggling to swing towards him.
He had the courage to face the falling blade.
Powerful skills must be matched with powerful forces to be effective.
Sakaki Ye simply moved forward, following the loopholes he saw and attacking without hesitation.
Those noisy and roaring pursuers all fell down and died under his sword.
The quality of these swordsmen who were chasing him was very mixed.
Some are veterans who have experienced battlefields.
Some of them may have just learned a low-level martial art from a sword gym.
There were also those who were urgently summoned, but they were just local hangers-on who had learned a few tricks.
The level of those guys is more than enough to deal with ordinary people who don’t know any martial arts.
If they really had to deal with him, the martial artist with real skills would be immediately caught off guard.
Sakaki Ye made another backhand cut.
With a “puff” sound, blood filled the air.
Another swordsman who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack had a small piece of flesh on his wrist cut off by the sword.
Drops of cold sweat continued to seep out from the swordsman’s forehead and back.
He covered his arms and staggered back.
Relatively agile skills, coupled with a quick enough reaction speed, mean that you can make every attack of the enemy miss and be able to counterattack.
Now, Sakaki Ye’s body seems to contain extraordinary potential.
At least, up to now, he was facing enemies whose numbers clearly outnumbered his.
Sakaki Ye doesn’t feel too much pressure yet.
On the one hand, Sakaki Ye used the terrain to divide the enemy’s numerical advantage and weaken it as much as possible.
The smoothness when swinging the sword is also gradually improving.
During the battle, he constantly adjusted the way he exerted force to make his sword movements easier and smoother.
Gradually it became smooth and seamless.
Swish, swish, swish!
Sakaki Ye is not a good person.
She is not the kind of saint who can’t help but feel compassion for the miserable people when she sees them.
With the idea that “even if he is killed by mistake, he must not be let go”.
Every time Sakaki Ye slashed out, the force of his blows was all he could muster.
The sword flower blooms.
A cruel and violent murderous intent has transformed into materialized weapons, whistling out.
When he first started killing, Sakaki Ye might have seemed a little awkward.
However, as time goes by.
Sakaki Ye’s sword-swinging movements became more and more coherent.
The traces left by the sword striking through the void were becoming more and more skillful.
Under the chopping, one could even faintly hear the sound of breaking wind.
Rotate left and right.
He cut and slashed from the side, then chopped again, the whole movement was smooth and flowing.
The sticky blood spurted outward from the fracture like a crimson fountain.
And when the headless remains fell to their knees, the empty gap left by the severed head, which still had some vitality, made a shrill sound like that of a ghost.
Phew.
The wrists kept shaking.
Sword flowers flashed out.
From the moment he decided to take revenge, he had made all the mental preparations and would face the storm calmly.
??With one slash of the sword, all the enemies were killed.
Those who came to chase but were defeated one by one by Sakaki Ye’s sneak attack all showed expressions of unwillingness and despair on their faces. Their bodies fell limply to the ground, and blood continued to flow out of their mouths and noses.
Sakaki lowered his eyes and looked gently at the ground.
Pieces of broken swords and spears were scattered under the bodies of the lightly-armored swordsmen.
The scarlet blood and mud mixed together, showing an extreme tragedy.
Shi Wei will repay it with blood and sharp sword! (Old version)
The chaotic fighting came to a temporary halt.
The swordsmen and hangers-on who chased after him in batches were all knocked down by Sakaki Ye one after another.
At this moment, Sakaki Ye still had a stern face.
Looking down from above, I saw this scene.
His whole body was cold as he moved along the limp bodies lying on the ground one by one.
Check all the way through.
Click, click.
The knife fell with no mercy.
He was finishing off everyone one by one.
Anyone who was still able to breathe was stabbed to death by him.
Tick ?
A drop of blood dripped from the blade held by Sakaki Ye, staining the ground red. ?
This brief game, a battle that cost one party’s life and ended with the death of one party, ended. ?
Killing someone is such a simple thing. ?
As long as there is a weapon in hand.
Then, it only takes a moment to take away a living life.
Raise your arms and drop them.
It’s that simple. ?
Sakaki Ye always believes in one principle, which is: don’t kill innocent people!
However, he will not have any mercy on those who are not good to him or those who do bad things.
From a certain perspective, his belief is somewhat similar to that of a certain punisher, “as long as you are guilty, you must die.”
However, no one is as extreme as the Punisher, who has to kill all the evil people and bad guys with his own hands.
After all, there are too many people in this world who deserve sympathy.
Sakaki Ye will never restrain himself with the common and vulgar views of good and evil in the world.
The world doesn’t allow him to do that.
People standing on the edge of a cliff often feel extremely fearful, let alone standing in an environment that may collapse at any time.
As long as it is not in a place with truly peaceful asylum and relatively strict legal system.
Then the life and death of the weak can only depend on the so-called illusory luck.
Perhaps, there is also mercy from the strong.
Past decisions, present results.
This is their fate!
He took a deep breath, wiped the blood off his face, and shook off the blood drops on the sword. ?
Sakaki Ye’s expression seemed unusually cold.
Because he had absolutely no sympathy for these cancers that depended on the dark world.
Since these people participated in the manhunt, none of them is innocent.
The current Sakaki Ye actually hates this place very much.
Because it is mixed with too many unpleasant memories.
When it comes to being ruthless, Sakaki Ye is never vague.
Although, compared to other animals in nature.
The reason why humans can eventually stand at the top of the food chain in nature.
One of the reasons is probably because they know how to learn and think.
Don’t let desires easily control your brain.
Animality is necessary for a race to maintain its aggressiveness.
Human nature is the foundation for establishing order.
However, in this orderly world dominated by chaos, if you want to carve out a peaceful and orderly world, you must fight violence with violence.
When facing evildoers, you must never show even a trace of cowardice.
Once these jackals discover your flaws and cowardice.
Then, they will really turn into jackals, extremely greedy, and eat you up completely, skin and bones.
Some people become numb to life after seeing so much death.
But some people will value life more because of this.
Reflected in Yu Sakakiye’s clear pupils are the memories of the past.
It was a familiar building surrounded by blazing flames.
The day when Gong Er Sword Hall was destroyed.
What vaguely rang in my ears was the helpless howling in the face of massacre.
On that day, blood flowed everywhere like streams, depicting a scene of purgatory on earth.
Wherever the eyes went, everything was dyed red and black.
Familiar figures fell one after another.
The rolling crimson flames licked the earth madly.
The black smoke with a strange odor released by the burning broke through the sky like the soul of a giant python.
The bloody smell of death.
The dark haze and shadow are burying everything.
At that time, he was calculating the pros and cons from the perspective of a time traveler.
In fact, Sakaki was wrong.
Because he forgot the most important point.
He is no longer a passer-by in this world.
But part of this world.
He regarded himself as a detached time traveler.
You will subconsciously become selfish and arrogant.
At the beginning, Sakaki Ye often felt complacent about his God’s perspective.
The cruel reality dealt him a heavy blow.
The bottom of order is only blood and sharp blades.
The sky is filled with murderous intent, and the stars are moving.
The earth is filled with murderous intent, and dragons and snakes emerge from the land.
When people have murderous intentions, heaven and earth will be in turmoil.
Once the door of killing is opened, there is no turning back for those who are inside.
You can only keep swinging the blade until you die.
destiny
If there really is such a thing as destiny in this world.
So, when the so-called wheel of fate starts turning, everyone is immersed in the long river of fate.
Birth, separation, death and parting.
Become a puppet and go with the flow.
As the wheel of fortune turns, it can never stop!
All this is just the beginning!
Repay kindness with kindness and repay hatred with hatred.
Regardless of past or present lives, his temperament has always been like this.
The flame of revenge burns fiercely in Sakaki Ye’s heart!
And spread quickly!
He wants to… carve out a clear and bright future!
The revenge for the other party’s massacre of the sword hall can only be paid with blood and sharp swords!
These guys are just the beginning.
Eleven Newtons’ coffin lid can no longer hold it down (old version)
“this…”
“How is that possible?”
When the swordsmen who were chasing and surrounding them turned out of the dense forest in groups of three or five, they saw corpses lying on the ground.
Those bodies either had their throats cut.
Or, a sword pierces the heart.
Except for a few swordsmen, there were traces of fighting left on their bodies.
Almost all of those hangers-on were killed in one blow.
Moreover, these people obviously did not discover their real enemy until they died.
The expression frozen on their faces was one of confusion from beginning to end.
That scene was enough to make every swordsman tremble with fear.
Fourteen bodies.
Five swordsmen and nine hangers-on.
Each of them is holding a sharp weapon.
Plus the scattered ones that were killed before.
The number of people who have been eliminated on their side has exceeded twenty.
But not even a hair of Sakaki Ye was left.
We don t know how many more people will fall next.
You have to know the other party, but there is only one person.
There are so many of them, but they are not really here to fight to the death.
If you want money, you have to be alive to spend it.
It felt as if all of them suddenly fell into an ice cave at the same time.
It chills one to the bone.
“That guy is simply like a natural executioner…” Everyone looked at each other and couldn’t help but grit their teeth.
Now, they actually let such a dangerous person hide in the dense forest and follow them in circles, playing hide-and-seek.
That feeling is simply… terrifying.
No!
It’s terrible!
It’s really too scary!
“We must find him at all costs!”
So, the swordsmen, along with their equally hateful hangers-on, stepped over the bodies of their companions and continued to advance deeper into the jungle.
Crash!
The dense jungle makes it easy to lose your way.
In order to avoid this situation, the swordsmen subconsciously quickened their pace as they walked.
The long sword in his hand was also waved wildly.
The flowers and plants that were close to it were destroyed and fell to the ground.
Then it was crushed by the soles of the feet and stepped into the soil.
In the shadow, Sakaki Ye was like a silent sculpture, motionless.
His eyes were filled with cold and violent murderous intent!
Sakaki Ye was lying in the bushes, concentrating on his work.
The sticky blood splattered all over his face.
The smelly blood flowed and spread on his body like ugly earthworms.
Sticky.
It’s very uncomfortable.
But, it can be tolerated.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and in his heart, a hidden switch suddenly released.
Hunters who are really good at tracking and killing should basically have one common sense.
That is, when hunting, a proper retreat is for a better attack.
Just like what the most skilled boxers should all know.
If you want to deliver a powerful enough punch, you should first retract your fist.
A really strong and powerful punch.
Only after it retreats and strikes again will it have enough destructive power.
Next, there are still many areas where he needs to spend more effort.
In Sakaki Ye’s heart, he clearly realized that it would be difficult to fight his way out of the front relying on his own ability.
Knowing that the situation is extremely urgent, everything must happen against time.
What he needed to consider was no longer the duel between him and his fellow disciples in swordplay as he did when he was learning sword in the sword gym.
What Sakaki Ye needs to do now is to gain practical experience in how to knock down the opponent in the shortest time possible.
Fortunately, Gong Er Sword School itself has a relatively tough and fierce sword style.
The sword moves taught are also very suitable for fighting and fencing.
As his thoughts raced through his mind, he pursed his lips and his body slightly changed direction to the left.
A forward roll relieved the impact of the fall.
The whole person landed steadily on the ground.
He lowered his body again.
With fingers supporting the ground, the body is in a cat-like posture.
Crawl over slowly.
If someone followed Sakaki Ye, they would find that his movements in this low space were extremely flexible and effortless.
Sakaki even seemed to have adjusted his entire bone marrow to become like a cat, so his athletic ability was not reduced at all by lying down.
On the contrary, you can tense your body at any time and achieve the effect of instant acceleration.
These are also the knowledge gained by one of my fellow disciples who used to be a scout and is good at tracking.
I just didn t expect that the first time I put it into practice, I would use it for revenge.
While he was surveying the nearby terrain, forest conditions and routes, he memorized them in his mind and decided on a route of advance and retreat.
Soon, Sakaki Ye realized that it would be difficult for him to fight his way out by relying on his personal ability when faced with so many swordsmen chasing him.
With his thoughts racing in his mind, he wisely gave up moving forward and changed direction slightly to the left.
He sighed secretly and rolled forward again.
After removing the impact of the fall, the whole person landed steadily on the ground.
A unique gait, different from normal walking where one hardly uses any effort on the toes.
When walking, there should be an obvious “grabbing” or “digging” movement on the sole of the foot.
His spine also needs to sway gently along with this force, not only to balance the body’s center of gravity, but also to serve as a boosting force.
He accelerated forward while exploring the situation and routes nearby.
Memorize it in your heart.
Decide on a path of advance and retreat.
As Sakaki’s body shook, the grass on the ground shook slightly.
suck.
Sakaki Ye slightly exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and twisted his body flexibly.
The whole person formed a strange arc.
He quickly touched the ground with one foot and bounced up with the force.
The other foot was like a steel nail, nailed firmly to the ground.
The bent knee seemed to be fixed by a steel plate and did not shake at all.
His gaze was extremely dark and focused, like a beast lurking in the darkness, quietly watching its prey.
A brilliant divine light burst out from Sakaki Ye’s pupils.
He is not blindly arrogant.
Even though, at this time, he had already killed several swordsmen with his own hands.
However, Sakaki Ye knew that it was still very dangerous when facing multiple enemies.
Two fists are no match for four hands.
Once he is caught in a dilemma of losing sight of the big picture, especially when the enemy is wielding sharp weapons.
No matter how much you struggle, you are still flesh and blood.
If you are hit in the vitals by a knife, you will die!
Just like in the past, with the rise of firearms and the rampant use of guns, no matter whether one was a master of Hung Gar or Tai Chi, they were all just mortals and could not possibly be hit by a few bullets.
In anime and cartoons, those characters who can still be alive and well after being stabbed or shot are all lies.
As long as the vital parts are hit, it will be a hit.
Normal people, except for those monsters, have basically lost their ability to fight.
I really don t know what kind of weird physiological structure those people have who can continue to fight back after being shot in the arm or stabbed in the chest, or who survived being shot dozens of times.
Of course, there are also powerful monsters in this world.
The coffins of people like Newton, Galileo, and Einstein who were slapped in the face were pried open again.
In front of those real monsters, Newton lay back calmly and obediently pulled the coffin lid shut.
It means that you have gotten used to it and don’t bother him for such trivial matters next time.
12 There is no immortal creature (old version)
Da da da.
Just as Sakaki Ye was calmly analyzing the battle situation, the sound of chaotic footsteps once again reached his ears.
“Have they caught up?” Sakaki’s eyes drooped.
His ears were shaking slightly at a special frequency.
My whole body and mind entered into a wonderful state.
When faced with unknown dangers and pressures, Sakaki Ye stimulated his potential and observed the movements around him with full concentration.
The speed is really fast.
It seems that there are experts with tracking skills among them!
Sakaki was a little surprised.
However, his hands and feet did not stop at all.
With a flash, he disappeared into the jungle nearby.
After hiding in the bushes, he picked up a branch and gently washed away all traces behind him.
He reached out again and picked up a long strip of cloth.
He wiped it quickly and casually on the body on the ground.
Then, he threw the blood-stained piece of cloth aside.
I went around to the other end.
He lowered his body and sneaked into the bushes, like a wolf eyeing its prey.
Just to drive the blade in hand into the heart of the prey. ?
A true wolf warrior is not the kind of assassin that would flee thousands of miles away if it misses a strike.
On the contrary, his patience and perseverance are simply outrageous!
With keen observation, single-minded focus, attention to detail, and unremitting patience, Wolf Warrior can always successfully hunt prey.
“Damn! That guy can really run!”
Different from the ferocious looks at the beginning, the swordsmen who had just been tricked by Sakaki Ye again looked a little embarrassed at this time.
These people had varying degrees of injuries on their bodies, and their numbers had also been reduced.
Such an embarrassing appearance made the faces of the swordsmen who claimed to be hunting and killing Sakaki Ye filled with anger.
“The bloodstains on the ground stop here!” One of the swordsmen noticed the situation on the ground.
“Search for me!”
Another swordsman, who was obviously the leader, whispered an order.
“Since the blood trail stops here, the other party is very likely nearby!”
These words cheered up the swordsmen, and the hands holding their swords tightened.
After being severely tricked by Sakaki Ye, these swordsmen were anxious to get back at their former foes, and their minds and nerves were tense and fearful.
However, they were not in a hurry to move forward step by step.
In the end, Sakaki Ye was involved in twenty lives.
The degree of threat and deterrence is still quite high.
The hearts of these people were beating like drums, especially the eyes of those hangers-on, which were full of vigilance.
A trace of sweat trickled down their vests.
“Oh, right, tell the people behind them to find some big wolfhounds to catch that guy faster.”
“yes.”
The group continued to grope forward.
Just then, I passed a corner.
At this moment, a certain god of death who had been dormant, hiding himself in the corner suddenly stood up.
However, before the swordsman could open his eyes wide and scream subconsciously, a hand reached out from behind him and covered his mouth.
It was not until this time that the figure belonging to Sakaki Ye appeared from the darkness.
With a “puff” sound.
Penetrating wound, sharp and penetrating.
Throw the opponent’s body on the ground.
Hiding in the jungle again.
Next, Sakaki used a piece of cloth stained with blood as bait.
Constantly leading the pursuers in other directions.
He himself continued to use sneak attacks, suddenly emerging from the bushes again and again.
The sharp sword in his hand pierced through without mercy. ?
When one of the people who was attacked fell down, the other hangers-on who came after hearing the noise noticed the corpse on the ground.
When they surrounded him angrily, Sakaki Ye had already slipped back into the bushes nearby.
Those guys, one by one, were wandering around like enraged beasts. ?
Like a hunting venomous snake, it continues to capture targets one by one, waiting for its chance to strike. ?
Such skilled and decisive actions did not seem like those of a “newcomer” who had just begun to engage in killing.
Lurk, lure, and kill.
All in one go.
Sakaki Ye completely transformed himself into a killer, causing his pursuers to fall in a pool of blood with hatred. ?
As the killing continued, Sakaki Ye suddenly realized that he was gradually becoming more proficient in how to fight. ?
No.?
To be more precise, it is not the way to fight that one gradually becomes proficient in, but the way to kill people more efficiently. ?
It was as if the dark side hidden deep within Sakakiye’s heart was being brought out.
Sakaki Ye gradually understood.
What should I do to better kill the prey that is full of flaws in my eyes? ?
It’s like…he’s a born executioner, and even the methods he uses are becoming more and more skilled.
For example, you might first try to cut off your opponent’s hands and feet, thereby rendering him powerless, and then you can make the final move.
During the confrontation, he can kill the enemy with one strike.
In terms of how to kill the opponent, Sakaki Ye has made visible progress. ?
Everything has its life and death.
This concept is not even limited to living beings.
Those dead things will also have their own death date. ?
Fire will eventually burn out.
Water will evaporate into gas at some point. ?
Steel will also rust and decay. ?
These are their death dates.
As long as we find the flaw, there is no absolutely immortal creature.
Marco, who possesses the Phoenix Devil Fruit, can’t do it.
The future Pirate King Roger can’t do it.
Whitebeard, who will be known as the strongest man in the world in the future, cannot do it.
The world’s strongest creature, Kaido, who takes pleasure in pursuing death, can’t do it either!
As long as I can be faster and stronger.
Then, the sharp sword in your hand will be able to cut anything.
Nothing can be cut!
In his presence, there will be no more immortal creatures.
Of course, Sakakiye still has a long way to go before reaching that step.
Adjust your mindset quickly.
While summarizing, Sakaki Ye took the time to quietly adjust his breathing and recover himself.
Thirteen Swords, how can it be inconvenient? (Old version)
The sound of straw sandals rubbing against the ground suddenly came from the right side of Sakaki Ye!
Sakaki subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw several swordsmen wearing conical hats running towards him quickly!
bring it on!
He was not panicked because he had killed people with his own hands.
How could it be possible that one would panic in such a situation where one was mentally prepared?
This is an inevitable war.
Sakaki Ye is not the kind of person who is fussy.
When it is time to be decisive, you will never let a fleeting opportunity slip away.
He is not a pure samurai, and he has never received any teachings on the samurai spirit.
?A warrior is loyal to his duty until death, and it is an honor to die on the battlefield.
Swordsmen do not follow rules, they only pursue efficiency.
The means of killing can be said to be dazzling, and everything is just for winning.
The sword blade swung out with a sharp sound of breaking wind.
On it, the sharp sword light flashed.
The sound of the sharp sword cutting through the air could be clearly heard.
Swish!
Along with the sound of the grass being pulled aside, Sakaki Ye rushed out like a sprint.
It was just a simple step, but Sakaki Ye shot out like an arrow.
His figure flashed quickly.
Between movement and stillness, the whole person is like a bow drawn to its full strength.
His body is as fast as an arrow and his steps are as fast as the wind, showing his strong foundation.
While swinging the sword, shake your whole body quickly.
Waist, leg bones, back and shoulders.
The elbow, wrist, and palm, together with the sword blade, seem to be one, and the movement and stillness are completed in one go!
His eyes were focused and solemn, and there seemed to be endless stories hidden in his dark pupils.
Those swordsmen surrounded Sakaki Ye and moved forward.
He wielded the sword in his hand fiercely, slashing viciously in different postures and directions.
At this moment, both sides have only one goal.
That is to bring death to the other party.
At this moment, the blade in his hand was so cold.
But his heart is so warm.
The sword tip trembles.
Sakaki Ye continued to step forward.
Several swordsmen attempted to force Sakaki Ye to retreat by means of siege.
However, reality has completely shattered their fantasy.
In other words, fantasy is always so full, while reality is always so skinny.
Sakaki Ye’s reaction has become more decisive.
The charging figure lowered slightly.
This caused his waist and abdomen to contract, like a bent longbow, and when he was about to collide with the swordsman on the opposite side, a force rose from his feet and hit his equally bent spine.
At the moment the spine was straightened and stretched, a violent force was condensed using the momentum.
A powerful force was shaken out along Sakaki Ye’s instantly tensed and straightened body.
The whole person seemed to be stretched into a straight line.
As Sakaki Ye threw a punch, it was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, ready to kill.
How can the sword be an inconvenient thing?
Every punch and kick can be used as a sword.
With a bang, the swordsman in front of him saw black.
The next moment, there was a flash of sword.
The waist strike is the waist strike!
The magic power is to kill in a flash, and the body, steps, hands and sword are as fast as lightning.
This strike is the first strike of the sword.
Sakakiye used his right foot and right hand to cut the snake, moving forward and attacking its scales.
whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Facing the swords that were coming at him.
Sakaki Ye’s figure is like floating cotton wool.
The waist and abdomen contract.
Dodge left, turn right.
He dodged the sword’s attack with impossible moves.
Then, after blocking, take a step and turn.
Swing out and aim at the opponent’s lower ribs and armpits.
Speed ??is power.
Ding ding bang bang!!
????In just a moment, the sword blade collided with the three knives one after another.
Although he was fighting one against three, Sakaki Ye was still able to handle it with ease.
The two sides went back and forth, swinging their weapons at each other in swift and smooth movements, with their bodies flashing, their waists and abdomens contracting, and they moved around.
The swords in his hands also turned into afterimages, sometimes colliding with each other and separating at the touch.
????The sharp blade whizzed past.
It easily cuts off branches and leaves without leaving any trace.
The sword technique is composed of eight basic movements: lifting, stabbing, intercepting, blocking, collapsing, chopping, wiping, pulling and wrapping.
The slashing moves can be divided into three main variations: chopping from top to bottom, slashing from left to right or from right to left, and slashing from bottom to top.
Self-confidence can really improve a person’s ability level!
When Sakaki Ye believes that this attack can hit the target, his attack will be more determined than usual, and the process of attack will be smoother.
The sword is a deadly weapon, and swordsmanship is a way of killing.
No matter how beautiful the rhetoric, it cannot cover it up.
This is a fact.
Just like, no kendo master is taught by hand.
Killing is the best nourishment.
Between life and death, unleash your potential.
Sakaki Ye is getting stronger during the fight.
His speed was also getting faster and faster.
How fast can a living thing be?
It takes an average human being about 12-13 seconds to run 100 meters.
On paper, the world sprint champion’s 100-meter record is 9.58 seconds.
According to scientists’ tests, the maximum speed that ordinary human muscle tissue can withstand is about 7.5 seconds per 100 meters.
The cheetah, the fastest animal on land, can run 100 meters in just 5 seconds.
After special training, Sakaki Ye’s muscle and bone structure have changed, and he can now run short distances at speeds comparable to that of a cheetah.
??As Sakakiye pushed the ground hard, dust flew up.
The whole person was like an arrow shot from a bow at high speed, shortening the distance between the two sides.
“How is it possible… so fast!”
????Staring at the unlucky guy in front of him with an extremely shocked look, Sakaki Ye just had a blank expression on his face and slashed out with the sharp knife again!
A captivating light began to flash from his pupils.
I felt my blood flow faster and my whole body felt like it was about to burn.
This is not numbness, but habit.
Just like he was used to this life of killing, Sakaki Ye had become accustomed to the fighting of this era.
You have to get used to it, because you have no choice but to move forward.
In some matters, even if you don’t want to leave, there will be other people pushing you, and then you have to leave, just like the current situation.
“I can go even faster.”
His words were sonorous and his eyes were clear.
It demonstrates an indomitable momentum and a rock-hard swordsmanship.
As he moved, the sword flashed.
The knife drew a shadow in the air, and a flowing curve froze in the air.
He became a little more comfortable than in the fight not long ago.
Killing people was easier and easier for him, and there was almost a bloody scene around him.
Those, all came from those corpses.
Sakaki Ye will also try to exploit his opponent’s weaknesses in seemingly dishonorable ways.
Anyway, now it is not a fair competition, but a fight of life and death.
When fighting, there are naturally no taboos and no scruples.
“Hehehe…” Another embarrassed swordsman fell to the ground in front of Sakaki Ye.
The swordsman covered his throat with all his strength and made a hoarse sound.
However, this gradually weakening struggle obviously could not stop the blood from gushing out.
It will only make his death even uglier.
The heavy body collapsed to the ground.
In the last moments of life, only meaningless twitches and spasms remained.
Fourteen Loyal Warriors (Old Version)
The shadow of the branch sets to the west.
Amid the ups and downs of the clouds, the sun finally reluctantly fell towards the horizon.
He used up the last bit of glory in his body to paint the end of the earth a deep red.
The last afterglow burned the clouds brightly and transparently.
The warm orange light gave every figure a faint golden edge.
Amid the grandeur, a touch of desolation is added invisibly!
It’s like the calm before the storm.
“asshole!”
“So many of you came together, but you were all killed by him alone. You are simply embarrassing me!”
The angry voice was very deep.
He has an equally burly figure and a rough voice that one can tell is that of a tough guy even if one isn’t even in sight.
Nanase Matsushita.
This is a powerful swordsman who can be called a samurai by outsiders!
He is also the first person in charge of the plan to lead people to hunt down Sakaki Ye, the only survivor of Gong Er Sword Hall.
At this moment, his face was livid.
His eyes were as cold as the biting wind blowing from a glacier.
A long distance away.
Those hangers-on he gathered could all feel the vague murderous aura!
Everyone’s faces were all shocked.
He quickly leaned over and made way.
Nanase Matsushita’s expression was very calm.
He saw awe in these people’s eyes, as well as a hint of fear buried deep in their hearts.
In fact, he also knew that Sakaki Ye had just suffered an unexpected disaster.
In other words, the entire Gong Er Sword Hall, which had been destroyed, was just unlucky.
Sato Yasuto, the current daimyo of the Hime region.
He is also the lord of swordsmen like Matsushita Nanase.
He is their lord whom they must protect and support at the risk of their lives.
Indeed, at this age, Sato Yasuto, who had ascended to the throne of daimyo so young, was not a good lord.
Although, still very young.
But since he took over his deceased father’s mantle, succeeded the Daimyo of Hime and became the new ruler of the Hime region, Sato Yasuto has already revealed his brutal nature that is beyond description.
When Sato Yasutoshi’s father was still alive.
Sato Yasuto’s brutal nature has been more or less restrained.
But after his father died, no one could tell him what to do anymore.
This guy completely revealed his brutal side.
There are countless absurd, cruel and unbridled acts that have come out of his hands.
Matsushita Nanase, who followed Sato Yasutoshi, was naturally very clear about all of this.
However, Nanase Matsushita doesn’t care about these things at all.
Because the most noble virtue of a samurai is “loyalty”.
Secondly, it is the so-called “bravery”.
The butt determines the head.
Different angles will naturally lead to different views.
He didn’t need to think about those questions.
Loyalty is innocent.
Regardless of right or wrong, they swear to be loyal to their master until death.
These are the values ??generally recognized by the samurai of this era.
Therefore, no matter what evil things our lord has done.
As a warrior loyal to his lord, he would not have any complaints.
You must swear allegiance to the death, even if it means risking your own life to protect the lord and complete all the orders issued by the lord!
If the ruler wants his subject to die, the subject must die!
When the master spoke.
Then there are only two possible outcomes for the opponent.
Or, be hunted directly on the battlefield.
Or, they would be tortured in a dark death cell and subjected to all kinds of inhuman torture as a punishment.
Then he was executed silently.
Finally, like a dead dog, it was thrown into a stinking gutter.
If that guy Sakaki Ye really obeys his fate, he will surrender.
Death is the end of everything.
It is possible that he would even pay tribute to the other party and collect the other party’s remains.
However, the other party chose to fight back.
This is Sakaki Ye s fault.
The other party is also innocent?
In this sick age where human life is worthless, ordinary people may even be executed for eating a mouthful of rice.
Famine is also everywhere.
If you don’t kill people, you will be killed!
Problems that are truly well known to people are not problems.
This is because those are some information that can be deliberately released by those in power to solve the root causes of the problem.
Only those in a higher position are likely to know what they want the people below to know.
If they don’t want people to know, they will just misinterpret it into another topic and method that is easier to accept.
Unless there is a large-scale resistance or conflict, we will consider using another method to deal with it.
However, the probability of an accident like that happening is really quite small.
Of course, the greatest innocence is having no strength.
If you don’t have the ability and still offend a noble person, you deserve to die!
“I really don’t know what that guy is doing. Those inferiors should just die obediently!”
??Nana Matsushita stretched lazily and looked up at the setting sun.
After dusk, even the fiery clouds had dissipated.
When the cold wind blows, a chill comes towards you.
The weeds around it, which had grown to knee-high, swayed from side to side.
The leaves in the lush forest were also rustling.
Anything further away can no longer be seen clearly.
It’s getting late.
Those scattered hangers-on had already taken out the torches they had brought with them, lit them up as quickly as possible and started a fire.
The bright firelight illuminated everyone’s face.
On the ground, there were some places that were so dark that they could not be seen, but dried and scarred blood scabs were faintly visible, shaped like traces left by evil spirits.
The scattered samurai swords were thrown messily on the ground.
It was stained with large amounts of blood and dust.
How can such a situation be called brutal?
You know, there is only one person on the other side!
“Hehehe.” Matsushita Nanase laughed angrily and couldn’t help but sneer out loud.
This feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.
Anyone who is used to winning will not like the feeling of losing.
??If you really want to be like Dugu Qiubai, he only exists in those vernacular novels.
Under normal circumstances, anyone who seeks failure out of boredom is probably a masochist…
Desperadoes will eventually have no way to retreat.
Then, the rest can be dealt with by sword.
His relaxed posture seemed out of place compared to the tense faces of the people around him, and even seemed like he was strolling in the garden.
He casually picked up a knife blade that had a cut on it.
It’s just the most commonly used samurai sword.
It has no name and is consumable.
This kind of samurai sword originally has a thin blade.
It is only suitable for cutting wounds and is easily damaged when encountering hard blows. It is normal to damage a knife in a fierce battle.
Of course, this is limited to ordinary samurai swords.
A truly famous sword is the result of thousands of tempering sessions.
Even if they collide violently with each other, they will still be very strong.
“Sakaki Ye… Sakaki Ye… Hehe.”
His eyes fixed, and his sharp gaze swept around.
Matsushita Nanase summoned his swordsmen and the hangers-on who had followed to assist in the search, and announced the orders one after another in clear words.
When the last order was issued, he took a deep breath and shouted angrily, “Let’s make a concerted effort and wipe out that guy right here in one fell swoop!!”
“Yes!” everyone shouted in unison.
Fifteen Accidental Finds (Old Version)
Woof woof woof!
The roars of the wolfhounds also joined the roars and noises of the swordsmen’s pursuit.
Breathing heavily, several hunting dogs accelerated their pursuit.
The urgent calls and the howling of hounds intertwined together.
The air was filled with tension.
There was a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
These guys already have the support of the local daimyo forces.
Again, in the name of the local shogunate, a group of large wolfhounds that were good at tracking were urgently dispatched very easily.
The man who was running in front and pulling the dog deliberately loosened the chain in his hand.
The big wolf dog, having lost its restraints, suddenly ran wildly, growling and barking, and rushed towards Sakaki Ye, chasing him.
A discovery!
“Over there!”
The swordsmen following behind him were immediately cheered up.
It seems that these big wolfhounds that were urgently mobilized are indeed very efficient.
The enemy’s traces were discovered so quickly.
This trained wolfdog is huge in size.
When standing up completely, it is as tall as a normal adult.
Even the ferocious beasts in the wild would probably dare to go up and tear off some meat!
“Damn it, they actually used wolfhounds to lock onto my scent.”
“It seems that I have to find a way to get rid of these hounds.”
He curled his lips and faced the wolfhound that was flying towards him.
A cold murderous intent also flashed in Sakaki Ye’s eyes.
He never harbors any active malice towards anyone.
But for those who want to harm you, you will make them pay the most painful price.
The same goes for animals that may pose a threat!
Next, he would need to make use of the dense forest to continue fighting with these pursuers.
Therefore, the threat posed by these hounds is too great.
We must find a way to solve this problem.
Woof woof woof!
Those big wolfhounds, with their muscles taut and as tall as a man when standing, were quite fierce.
He opened his bloody mouth and sucked in the cold air, wishing he could tear Sakaki Ye into pieces and swallow him immediately.
With a mouth full of sharp canine teeth and a pungent fishy smell, he was about to knock Sakaki Ye to the ground.
Then, they start hunting, gnawing and biting.
This is how they are usually kept in captivity.
These hounds are really used to hunt prey.
They even…have chased and bitten humans to satisfy the daimyo’s evil taste.
Naturally, there will be no resistance to biting people.
“Bang!”
Then, suddenly, Sakaki Ye moved.
He dodged sideways to avoid the vicious dog that was rushing towards him.
One arm extended.
It’s like breaking a wooden pole.
With a snap, he broke the tailbone of the big dog that was rushing towards him.
The big dog howled miserably, and its four paws loosened in pain.
The fingers look slender, but they possess powerful explosive power and agility that is totally inconsistent with their appearance.
Bang!
He suddenly dragged the big dog to the ground.
The next moment, Sakaki Ye quickly spun his body again.
His right leg suddenly kicked out into the air.
Just like a bowstring pulled into a full moon, the arrow shot out is as fast as the wind and as fierce as thunder!
Ouch!
This kick directly caused the skull of the hundred-pound wolfdog to explode.
He only had time to let out a sharp whimper.
He rolled on the ground and flew backwards more than two meters away.
The falling limbs twitched and were completely silent.
Woo woo woo!
Originally, the other hunting dogs were barking fiercely at Sakaki Ye.
But when it saw this scene, its upright tail was instantly tucked up.
The subconscious barking also stopped abruptly.
These hunting dogs are used to having smooth sailing and they rely on the power of their masters.
Now that he realizes that he is being chased, Sakaki Ye is not like those poor humans before, so he will naturally be afraid and stop moving forward.
“Asshole!”
The hangers-on and swordsmen swung their swords in anger and slashed at Sakaki Ye’s neck viciously.
However, Sakaki Ye did not retreat but advanced instead.
Before those long swords could hit him.
Sakaki Ye’s agile body bounced out like a spring rubber band that was stretched and then released.
He accelerated straight ahead and crashed hard into the arms of a burly hanger-on in front of him.
The impact caused the hanger-on’s chest to collapse and his bones and tendons to be broken.
Blood spurted out of his mouth and he flew backwards.
The long sword in his hand was unsteadily held and flew into the air, where it was caught by Sakaki Ye with his backhand.
With sword in hand, a surge of blood rushed up.
Sakaki Ye suddenly turned around and looked at a gray-clothed hanger-on who was approaching with a sword.
The murderous intent in his eyes, as if he had killed several people in a row, made the gray-clothed man, who was planning a sneak attack, feel cold in his hands and feet.
He suddenly stopped where he was, not daring to move forward, unable to advance or retreat!
Compared to Sakaki Ye’s calm expression, the expressions of these people were undoubtedly much more serious.
“Kill!” But Sakaki Ye did not hesitate at all.
With strong arms, he held the long sword weighing several kilograms as if it were nothing. With a cold light flashing on the blade, he chopped down the gray-clothed man on the head!
The powerful outburst and the casual and direct swing of the sword are already unstoppable.
“Ahhh, block it!”
The gray-clothed hanger-on’s eyelids twitched, and he quickly raised his sword to block.
Crack!
The swords collided, and a huge force crushed down, and the fragile sword broke immediately.
The long sword chopped down straight, and with the help of powerful arm strength, it killed the opponent like a hot knife through butter.
“Hah!” Just when Sakaki Ye had just used up his old strength and had not yet generated new strength.
A swordsman seized the opportunity and rushed out at full speed.
Clean and neat, without any unnecessary movements, full of momentum and power.
This crazy shouting is by no means a meaningless howl.
In Kendo terminology, these loud shouts are called “Kiai” and are the key to increasing momentum and exerting force smoothly when attacking.
Just as the internal martial arts say, “When you make a sound, your qi can be focused, your strength will naturally be relaxed and penetrating, and the sound must come from your dantian. The movement is powerful because of the responsiveness of qi. Your courage will naturally increase, and your enemy’s qi will be doubly discouraged.” This is the truth.
This man’s roar was not an ordinary weird cry.
This strange cry of his has a scientific name, called “Qihe”.
To put it simply, it is to make a huge roar by sinking the qi into the dantian to help yourself exert strength, and at the same time to intimidate the enemy through the roar.
The energy flows through the voice, the sound is loud and powerful, and the strength can be naturally exerted smoothly.
The sound comes from Dantian, which means that the abdomen needs to exert force to make the sound smoothly. Therefore, the upper and lower limbs can rely on this to make movements naturally.
The sound and action echo each other, and your own courage will naturally increase, while the enemy’s momentum will also be weakened.
With a ferocious smile.
The swordsman firmly believed that after continuous fighting, it was impossible for Sakaki Ye to be completely exhausted.
Like a piece of wire.
It can be bent once and easily reset.
But if you bend it repeatedly.
Even if it is reset every time, it may break directly if it happens too many times.
On the left and right sides of the swordsman, there were also people rushing over to surround him.
But it doesn’t matter.
At this moment, deep in Sakaki Ye’s heart, the emotions were so intense that they were like a violent whirlpool.
His body accelerated and shot out, revealing his sharp edge.
There is a saying that a tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves.
But at this moment, he only needed to hold the sword tightly in his hand and fight desperately.
As for the question of whether you will die if you lose the war.
Sakaki Ye didn’t care much about this.
This kind of shouting had no effect on him.
The previous fights also allowed Sakaki Ye to continuously accumulate combat experience.
Speaking of which, Sakaki Ye’s mentality at the beginning was “If I can drag as many people to death as possible, I will drag them to die with me.”
Now, he is even more happy to have the opportunity to complete his revenge further.
After swinging his sword to block the attack from the swordsman, Sakaki shook the sword to block the opponent’s sword, then adjusted the direction of the sword and chopped towards the opponent.
As expected, Sakaki Ye’s counterattack was blocked by the swordsman.
Seeing that his attack missed, Sakaki Ye took two steps back, widening the distance between him and his opponent again, and threw away the long sword in his hand.
He only knows how to use one sword now.
It is better to focus on one weapon and fight, so that you can better exert your combat power.
In battle, having an extra sword does not necessarily increase your combat effectiveness.
The attack and defense between the two was completed in just a few seconds.
Sakaki Ye did not slow down, but moved his feet towards the other party, closing the distance between himself and the other party.
The swordsman instantly tensed every nerve in his body.
His eyes were fixed on Sakaki Ye, not missing a single move Sakaki Ye made.
At the same time, he was silently calculating the distance between himself and Sakaki Ye.
He calculated how much distance he had left before he could enter Sakaki’s attack range, and how much distance he had left before Sakaki entered his attack range.
This swordsman is not simple either.
Three steps left.
The swordsman thought to himself.
Only… two steps left…!
At the same time, he silently gripped the sword, which was already clenched very tightly, even tighter.
One step left!
When the swordsman confirmed that he was only one step away from entering Sakaki Ye’s attack range, the swordsman’s eyes changed.
laugh!
A strong sound of breaking wind was heard.
The tip of the sword in Sakaki Ye’s hand stabbed straight towards the swordsman’s chest.
How is that possible?
There’s still one step
The swordsman’s pupils dilated subconsciously.
I was stunned and shocked.
The swordsman was caught off guard by Sakaki Ye’s sudden attack and his eyes widened.
The corners of Sakaki’s mouth rose slightly.
It turned out that the swordsman did not miscalculate his steps.
Instead, Sakaki Ye used some little trick.
The moment he approached his opponent, he moved his sword-holding hand slightly downwards.
The normal way to hold a sword is to gently press the guard of the sword with the base of the hand holding the sword.
And Sakaki Ye had just grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands.
This allows the hands holding the sword to move down a little and hold the very bottom of the hilt.
In this way, the attack range of the sword is increased by nearly the length of the hilt.
It is easy to catch the opponent off guard when caught off guard.
If you catch someone off guard, it can have unexpected results.
At the moment, Sakaki Ye also relied on the trick of “suddenly increasing the attack range” to successfully trick his opponent.
Of course, this move also has a flaw, that is, once you hold both hands at the bottom of the hilt, it is easy to lose control of the direction, strength and speed of the sword.
If you are not careful and cannot control yourself, accidents may easily happen.
Fortunately, since they were in a fighting state, Sakaki Ye didn’t need to have such concerns.
This time, Ogata used the technique of “suddenly increasing the attack range” and successfully launched a surprise attack on the swordsman.
The sharp tip of the sword quickly cut through the air and stabbed straight into the opponent’s chest.
Even though Sakaki Ye held the hilt of the sword at the very bottom, the thrust he released was still full of power.
In such a hurry, the swordsman had no chance to block the surprise attack launched by Sakaki Ye.
The tip of the sword hit the swordsman’s chest accurately.
Sixteen Kills to Frighten the Enemy (Old Version)
Plop.
The swordsman fell to the ground with a stiff expression.
He looked down at the torn clothes on his chest.
Mottled blood also seeped out and spread, revealing despair.
The opponent’s sword attack just now was too fast.
Even before my thoughts caught up, I felt a long-lost chill somewhere in my body.
By the time he reacted, the sword had already pierced his chest.
After stumbling back a few steps, he fell heavily to the ground.
Failure means death.
Everything happened in a flash of sparks.
“Huh…” Sakaki Ye let out a light breath.
Although there was no long-lasting and fierce fight between them.
However, after seeing his opponent finally fall to the ground, Sakaki couldn’t help but feel relieved.
The cold wind whistled past.
The sound of rustling caused by the wind blew rapidly through the dense forest like waves on the sea.
The faint light and shadow coming in from outside was shaking slightly.
However, at this moment, those hangers-on and swordsmen involved.
They could all feel very clearly that there seemed to be something horrible lurking in the light and darkness, coveting their lives.
Death is always with us.
The harder you squeeze the spring, the greater its rebound force will be.
Sakaki Ye had no intention of letting them go.
On his stern face, the shadow that seemed a little creepy because of the coldness had not yet dissipated.
He won’t give up until these guys are completely killed.
Now, the offensive and defensive situation has begun to change quietly.
This is where Sakaki Ye s advantage lies.
Taking advantage of the dense forest’s geographical advantage, Sakaki Ye can act freely on the battlefield and no one can stop him.
He was like a tiger waiting to hunt, crouching quietly in front of the other person.
The moment his opponent was about to make a move, he would pounce on him and bite his throat hard.
Tear the opponent’s throat.
With unstoppable force, we can crush everything in our path.
He just needs to combine it with the one-way advantage brought by the asymmetric combat.
It was a battle in which, even if one fought to the death, there was a high probability that one would suffer from multiple injuries.
All the difficulty has decreased significantly since then.
The enemy has suffered heavy losses.
Faced with death, those swordsmen were all men who lived on the edge of a knife and had already been mentally prepared for this situation.
However, when they saw clearly, Sakaki’s eyes flashed with that gaze.
Subconsciously, I slowed down my pace!
How should I describe that look?
There was a cold light in his eyes.
The murderous intent that had been suppressed for so long suddenly erupted.
The temperature around me dropped rapidly, and I could faintly smell blood.
There was a flash of murderous intent in Sakaki Ye’s eyes.
He knew that when fighting one against many, the most important thing was not to show weakness, otherwise the enemy would be like a shark smelling blood, and he had to strike hard to create a deterrent and undermine their morale!
Although these swordsmen and hangers-on all have firm beliefs, they are also ordinary mortals.
They will be afraid too.
And what Sakaki Ye wants is to scare these people!
Make them afraid!
“Kill!” he shouted.
?The sound of breaking air rang out again.
The oncoming sword tip cut through the air flow, which was enough to make one’s scalp tingle even if it was still at a distance.
The light is cold and chilly.
As Sakaki Ye’s feet suddenly exerted force, he pushed the ground.
He shot out like an arrow, as fast as thunder and as ghostly as a ghost.
A burly hanger-on who was his target also had a fierce and fearless look on his face, and he slashed at him with a knife.
No tricks were used.
Only fast and ruthless.
He originally thought that he should be able to chop his opponent’s body by accelerating, but then the look on his face suddenly became one of surprise.
????Because, Sakaki Ye actually used a sliding step to the side in advance to avoid the trajectory of the machete.
It was as if he saw through everything, and responded with a cool and sharp sword, slashing out at an extremely fast speed!
????The sharp sword blade can be used to take advantage of any gap.
He quickly passed through the seemingly smallest gap and slashed the throat with one blow!
The true meaning of swordsmanship lies in speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.
The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed.
It’s so fast that the opponent can’t react in time.
The meaning of precision is that it can break through the opponent’s tiny defensive loopholes.
The final ruthlessness is the penetrating power that is enough to break through all defenses.
???Sakaki Ye s sword speed is constantly increasing.
Allowing his sword to hit the opponent at a faster speed.
? Be careful, he s very fast!!
???Two more swordsmen, with gloomy faces, came into battle together.
????From a visual point of view, Sakaki Ye is indeed very fast, because he can always dodge attacks and counterattack!
clang!!!
????The collision between the blades is like a single touch and they separate instantly.
????While the other two were still buffering, Sakaki Ye had already recovered from the shock.
Moreover, relying on his inhuman extreme reaction speed, his eyes once again aimed at the weaknesses of the two.
From the beginning to the end, during the confrontation, Sakaki Ye’s posture remained stable, as if he was a solid rock and could not be shaken.
However, even though his feet were as immovable as a rock, Sakaki’s feet were not completely nailed to the ground.
His feet were still moving.
It allows you to step forward or backward quickly while keeping your posture stable.
???”You are already a dead person!!”
Sakaki Ye’s voice was low, and he turned the blade in his hand around and stepped forward. The cold blade was placed on the throats of the two men, and he passed between them and slashed them with force.
puff!!!
The knife cut his throat, taking away his opponent’s life.
The two swordsmen’s pupils shrank into needle points and they had no time to react.
They all covered their throats, the blood flowing uncontrollably, opened their mouths, and collapsed to the ground unwillingly.
Sakaki Ye’s eyes were as ferocious as a beast ready to devour people. He also stared at the other swordsmen and hangers-on one after another, and rushed over again swiftly.
These vicious dogs who have eaten human flesh do not deserve any mercy.
“Come on!! Bastards!!!”
The swordsmen looked at him and felt their scalps tingling.
As a last resort, he could only rush forward and roar in anger.
All of you, go to hell!!
With one blow, the knife slashed fiercely in the air.
The next moment, Sakaki Ye dodged sideways like a ghost, put one hand on the opponent’s shoulder, and the sword in his hand turned in the air, like a vicious poisonous snake, pouring straight into the opponent’s throat.
The blade extended from the back of the man’s head.
Mottled bloodstains sprayed out.
Once again, a quick and clean kill!!
Dodge attacks, target weak spots, and strike!
During this period, there was not even a single unnecessary movement.
kill!!
The man opened his mouth, his eyes full of fear. A line of blood appeared in the middle of his body, and then it broke apart. His body was split into two halves from the abdomen and fell to both sides.
Blood and internal organs were all over the ground, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air, making the frightened hunting dogs howl miserably. The scene was extremely chaotic.
This is undoubtedly bloody and shocking enough!
Generally speaking, beheading a person with one strike requires extremely strong arm strength and deliberate practice.
Even those executioners sometimes fail, and with one blow from Sakaki Ye, it was as if he split a person in half like chopping wood.
Even those swordsmen who had not fallen yet, all of whom dared to fight and kill, could not help but be shocked.
But seeing Sakaki Ye in front of them, like a ferocious god, killing many people in a row with thunder-like methods, most of them were frightened and their hearts were pounding.
Some people’s hands and feet began to tremble unconsciously.
The numb body collapsed to the ground, revealing a delicate yet cold profile.
The blood-stained blade was drawn out, and the trembling blood merged into the soil.
Turning around, those icy black eyes seemed to be staring into the abyss!
Faced with the crazy attack from Sakaki Ye, the pursuers were defeated one by one and fell to the ground.
Fresh blood gushed out from their wounds.
They overestimated themselves and underestimated the threat posed by Sakaki Ye.
The other side is not unarmed and can only allow civilians to be bullied and slaughtered by them.
Aware of the loss of hope, aware of the approach of death.
They couldn’t help but wail out loud.
“Strange…monster…hehehe…”
His body collapsed heavily to the ground and he died.
The remaining people subconsciously paused, looks of horror on their faces.
The pursuers, who were already somewhat doubtful, were shocked by this most primitive and brutal way of attack.
And an atmosphere of panic quickly began to spread among them.
Human beings are inherently a contradiction, both fragile and resilient.
This guy… this guy
How could he kill so easily?
Even those swordsmen couldn’t stop Sakaki Ye from exploding in this state.
Those hangers-on, who already had little sword skills, were in even greater disarray.
Not to mention defending or counterattacking, he didn’t even have time to scream out in pain before he was killed by Sakaki Ye.
Sakaki Ye is different from those warriors who always like to fight back and forth and fight with swords for three hundred rounds.
If the enemy is not a match for him, he will hardly give the opponent any time to react. He can kill with one strike and will never need a second strike!
Because, on the battlefield, it would undoubtedly be foolish to still think of holding back.
In a real fight, either you die or you are destroyed!
He wiped the blood off his face.
Sakaki’s hair was a little messy, and there were corpses lying at his feet.
The stern face, illuminated by the firelight, looked like a deadly ghost.
Upon seeing this, the remaining two or three swordsmen and the hangers-on quickly stepped back.
At this moment, they were already bloodless.
Cold sweat kept coming out from their foreheads, backs, palms and even every part of their bodies.
Everyone felt their hands and feet go cold, and they couldn’t help but look horrified.
Even though Sakaki Ye has started to breathe heavily, it can be seen that he still has enough strength to continue fighting.
After killing more than half of the people they were chasing, the courage of the remaining swordsmen and hangers-on had all been broken by Sakaki Ye.
They have all witnessed with their own eyes what happened to those who went on the field to fight against Sakaki Ye.
Almost everyone lowered their heads, their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, not daring to look at Sakaki Ye.
At this moment, they seemed to feel that the other party was not rushing towards them alone.
It seemed as if countless wronged souls with unfulfilled ambitions were entangled around Sakaki Ye.
These wronged souls danced wildly, howling and crying violently with endless resentment and unwillingness.
They blocked out the sky, blocked out the sound, and were about to devour their chosen people.
And the person who is chosen will be you!
This guy…is simply not a human!
He is a ruthless executioner!!
He is Shura!!!
The hangers-on, unable to hold back any longer, chose to retreat without any prior agreement.
As the roar became hysterical and even insane, the gaze got closer.
The person who fell behind paused again and stopped involuntarily.
No, that’s not a beast!
That’s the evil ghost that escaped from hell!
From a distance of a few steps, looking at Sakaki Ye who was chasing after him from behind, he felt his soul trembling.
He gritted his teeth, swung his sword fiercely, and slashed at his teammate beside him!
Sometimes, running fast is also a way to save your life.
When you encounter danger, you don’t have to run faster than your enemy, but you must run faster than other people who are trying to escape.
Although this statement sounds selfish, it is true.
This is especially true when these guys were frightened by Sakaki Ye’s killing.
There is no need to say more about the next battle.
When fighting with someone, if you lose your composure, everything is over.
The defeat was like a landslide, and it is not just a casual statement.
Seventeen Never-Ending Battles (Old Version)
“Huff…”
Sakaki Ye panted heavily and stopped chasing and killing.
After several consecutive battles, it is ultimately a big test for a person’s physical strength.
????Whether it is a knife fight or killing people, it will be tiring.
In particular, the series of battles that Sakaki Ye had today were not the kind of friendly exchanges that he usually had with his fellow disciples in Gong Er Sword Hall.
But if you are not careful, it is very likely that you will be injured or even killed in a brutal battle.
Every opponent that Sakaki Ye faced.
They all went to fight Sakaki Ye with the belief that they would not give up even if they had to chop him into a cripple or kill him directly.
Therefore, Sakaki Ye had to tense every nerve in his body and not dare to be careless for a moment.
It is inevitable that the constant tense nerves and continuous fighting will lead to increased consumption of physical energy.
Even though Sakaki Ye had paid too much attention to this issue, he tried his best to fight the enemy with the least consumption.
By the end, Sakaki Ye had begun to feel that his spirit was beginning to become a little tired, and his concentration was beginning to become a little unfocused.
Therefore, he did not completely leave those people behind.
It is better to let some of them, who have escaped the net and dispersed, to escape.
After all, Sakaki Ye is not a superman.
Even in this life, his physical fitness is far superior to the otaku body of his previous life.
But, after all, we are still mortals.
Also tired.
You will also get hurt.
Judging by the standards of ordinary people, the physical fitness of this body is quite acceptable.
But it is still far from being a real monster.
Especially when the body and mind are in high-frequency combat and highly tense state, it is easy to accelerate the depletion of physical energy.
Coo coo coo.
A series of battles had pushed his physical strength to its limit.
It was not just physical fatigue and pain. After a series of high-intensity battles, Sakaki Ye also gradually felt a vague feeling of hunger in his stomach.
After relaxing, the feeling of fatigue immediately came back like a tide.
Fatigue, like a rag soaked in water, tightly wrapped around Sakaki Ye’s entire body.
Airtight.
Because of the fierce battle just now, Sakaki Ye’s nerves have been in a highly tense state.
Instead, it made him less sensitive to negative emotions such as fatigue and pain.
It was not until now, when he had solved the problem of the pursuers and relaxed his nerves, that Sakaki Ye suddenly realized how tired he was.
call
Sakaki let out a long breath.
Hiss… After fighting for such a long time, although the injuries are not serious, it is really painful!
It seems that I have to find some time to exercise my physical fitness in the future… While kneading the slightly sore muscles in his arms, Sakaki thought to himself.
In his previous life, Sakaki Ye always regarded the saying that if you practice martial arts without practicing your skills, it will all be in vain when you grow old as a golden saying.
No matter how well a person has practiced his moves, if he cannot improve his strength and speed, he may not even be able to touch the enemy.
In that case, even if he had the talent to detect the enemy’s killing line, it would be of no avail.
As for the scars on the body, they are also a price to pay.
Any weak person who tries to resist the strong can only gamble with his life.
If you fail to win the bet, then only death awaits you.
As I said, this world is full of the law of survival of the fittest.
The strong survive and the weak die.
There is no justice or reason at all.
Sakaki Ye is not an innocent idealist who has never experienced the world. He has seen the cruelty of society and knows clearly what he should do.
Because of the tense muscles, the Qi and blood are briefly stimulated, and their rapid circulation impacts the internal organs, bones, and muscles, causing minor injuries everywhere.
Now, pain surged up all over his body like a tide.
However, he seemed to be completely unaware of the pain as he held the knife across his knees, shaking it slightly.
Trying hard and slowly to adjust your breathing.
It’s not enough.
Clearly feeling the poor condition of his body, alarm bells began to ring in Sakaki Ye’s heart.
Now, adjusting my breathing method alone is no longer enough to replenish my physical energy.
It’s time to eat.
Fortunately, those hangers-on carried some food in their backpacks.
After all, in the wilderness, food and water are the top priorities for survival.
In a dangerous situation with danger everywhere, if you don’t find food to replenish yourself while you still have the strength, you will become weaker and weaker. Then when you encounter danger, you will be slaughtered without any resistance and become a delicious meal for other creatures.
Baji, Baji.
As he swallowed big mouthfuls of food, streams of warm currents rose from Sakaki Ye’s abdomen and then flowed into his limbs and bones, eliminating the pain in his body and quickly returning his weak body to normal.
The surging heat flows through the body, and various minor injuries inside the body are gradually repaired with the nourishment of the heat brought by the food.
After eating and drinking, he sat cross-legged again.
Eyes look at the nose, nose looks at the mouth, mouth looks at the heart.
The whole person is fully focused and enters a very quiet state.
The breathing became steady, and each breath was extremely long.
“call “
Let out a breath of foul air.
I feel full of energy, refreshed all over, and my blood is surging.
I don t know if it s an illusion.
Sakaki Ye clearly felt that his strength had increased significantly.
I shook my ankles and it seemed that my flexibility had improved.
The whole body seemed to contain a vast amount of energy, strong and powerful.
The inner feeling is that one’s own physical strength is also growing rapidly.
It seemed as if I had endless energy, and my sub-healthy state was completely swept away in an instant.
The whole person becomes full of energy and vigor!
Is it because of the food?
It is possible.
It seems that in the original work, Luffy was able to recover quickly by eating.
Um.
Also in Navy CP9, there is a move called Life Return.
It seems that by eating a lot and taking in a lot of food in a short period of time, the body can quickly gain weight, and then use the life return to digestion to lose weight.
After that, you can control any organ in your body such as hair and internal organs at will.
Lucci, who has a leopard form, has a sturdy physique and amazing strength in human-beast form, but his speed is mediocre.
After changing into a leopard, his speed increased dramatically, but his power decreased a lot. Life restoration perfectly helped him solve the defect of this ability.
In the human-beast form, Lucci activated the life return, absorbed the original huge body, and transformed into a martial form that could only point guns.
This kind of life-returning utilization not only retains the destructive power of his original human-beast form, but also perfectly calls upon the mobility of the pure beast form, making the physical enhancement effect of the animal fruit even higher.
In other words, although Life Return seems to be controlling the body’s organs, if used properly, it can be combined with the ability of the Devil Fruit to achieve advanced control.
In that case, you can give it a try.
Frowning slightly.
After thinking about it, Sakaki Ye continued to stuff food into his mouth with clean water.
Gurgle gurgle.
Watering.
The food was swallowed into the stomach mouthful by mouthful.
It was as if a furnace had been built in his stomach, forging all the food into pure heat that flowed through Sakaki’s limbs and bones.
He kept clenching his fists and opening his fingers, feeling the wonderful sensation of his limbs being free and relaxed, and he couldn’t help but grin.
It seems that there are still many secrets of my body’s potential that have not been discovered!
As the saying goes, if the tendons grow an inch longer, the strength will increase by a thousand pounds.
Even after a crazy killing spree, Sakaki Ye felt inexplicably good.
It s like drinking a bottle of iced Sprite in the hottest days of summer, feeling cool and refreshed.
From the inside out, every cell in the body is cheering.
He is growing.
Rapid growth.
Some young people may need certain protection and growth under guidance when they first face a setback.
But for other young talents, putting heavy pressure on them can actually stimulate them to grow and transform faster.
What a person is afraid of is not a poor foundation, but poor learning ability.
For example, some geniuses in school were muddle-headed in their first and second year of high school and just muddled through the two years.
In his senior year of high school, he suddenly changed his personality and started to work hard, and ended up getting high scores just like those hard-working students.
This is the characteristic of strong learning ability.
Any gap in skills can be quickly made up through learning ability and hard work.
However, there is no logic to explain talent!
People with average talent are the most common people in the world.
Not everyone is a genius, mediocre people are the majority.
A good talent in the rough is already an outstanding genius.
Such people, as long as they are willing to work hard in a certain area, can achieve something with a little guidance and polishing!
Facts have proved that there is a gap between talented people and mediocre people that is difficult to make up for by hard work!
Sweat cannot make up for the gap in talent.
The saying that hard work will lead to success is only useful if you have a certain level of talent.
Of course, even if you have that talent, it doesn t mean you have the ability to do so.
It still takes hard work and sweat to show this talent.
Talent can only determine a person’s future height, but laziness and arrogance will lower this height infinitely. When you want to work hard again, it may be too late, because talent will also be consumed.
Fortunately, Sakaki Ye did not waste his talent.
After recovering his strength, Sakaki Ye prepared to leave.
This counterattack is just the beginning.
Later, he will target that daimyo.
Until the old grudges are completely resolved.
“Um?”
The next moment, Sakaki Ye, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him.
The hair suddenly stood up.
The pores dilated, as if countless fine needles were slowly piercing into me.
This made his heart beat faster and adrenaline secreted.
He took a deep breath and looked around vigilantly.
If you are careless, people may die.
The fear for his life constantly reminded him to stay calm.
At this time, you must concentrate and pay attention to every suspicious point.
Knock knock knock.
The sound of slow but powerful footsteps was heard.
The firelight along the way illuminated the cold face of the visitor, and he gently stroked the hilt of the sword.
Clearly, before this, his men were screaming in agony, but he seemed to hear nothing.
Nanase Matsushita appeared.
In fact, he had already arrived.
But he had to watch his men die tragically one by one.
It’s not that he can’t lend a hand.
It’s just that he doesn’t want to.
In Matsushita Nanase’s eyes, these people were not worth his rescue.
When they are hired to come, they should be prepared that they will die if they are not as skilled as others.
For Nanase Matsushita, there is no mercy in this world.
But there is self-esteem and pride.
Perhaps it is disdain for the weak, or confidence in one’s own strength.
No matter what the reason was, there was only one simple reason why he appeared here.
Since these swordsmen have hangers-on, they are not worthy of being used.
He was unable to defeat Sakaki Ye and was instead beaten to pieces.
Then he would do it himself.
As long as the result is the same, what does it matter how many people die in the process?
“…This guy is very strong.”
As soon as Matsushita Nanase appeared, she attracted Sakaki Ye’s great attention.
This guy’s aura is different from those swordsmen before him.
There is a very strong aura around the other person.
Even Sakaki Ye had an inexplicable enlightenment.
I may, probably, not be the opponent’s match.
This is an illusion.
It s also an intuition.
It’s mysterious, but it really exists.
Eighteen Super Reflex Arcs (Old Version)
“Who are you?” Sakaki Ye perked up again and asked in a low voice.
“Are you Sakaki Ye? So that you can remember the person who killed you. He is Matsushita Nanase, a samurai under the command of Daimyo Sato.” Matsushita Nanase’s tone was cold.
He decisively told Sakaki Ye his name.
In the end, Sakaki Ye was able to stop more than forty swordsmen and hangers-on, and killed most of them.
Got the approval of Nanase Matsushita.
The other party may be qualified to know his name.
The battle did not end there.
It’s just the beginning.
Sakaki Ye restrained his body and carefully looked at the powerful enemy in front of him.
Speaking of which, in Sakaki Ye’s eyes, Matsushita Nanase is considered to be relatively short.
However, compared with men of the same age of the same era, Matsushita Nanase’s height is considered average.
Moreover, although he is not tall, he has a very strong build.
Even through the loose kimono, Sakaki Ye could feel the bulging and solid muscles on Nanase Matsushita’s body.
That was the predecessor of the kimono.
What is even more eye-catching is the other person s strange head shape.
That is, the moon head!
The topknot can be said to be the most popular hairstyle among the samurai class in Wano Country during this period.
There is no other like it.
About eight out of ten warriors have this hairstyle.
Its general appearance…can even be understood as a variant version of the “Mediterranean Sea”.
Shave off all the hair on the top of your head.
Only the hair on the back of the head and the temples is left, and then the hair on the back of the head and the temples is braided into a bun and placed on the shaved head.
Because the “?” at the back looks like a tea whisk, it is also called “tea whisk ?” or “Da Yuedai tea whisk ?”.
This hairstyle is cool and convenient to wear with a helmet. When fighting with others, you don t have to worry about your hair blocking your vision.
On the other hand, because it could be used to divide people into different classes, it first became popular among the samurai class, and then led to a large number of common people also starting to grow this hairstyle.
Fortunately, I don t have to have such a weird hairstyle.
Sakaki Ye was very glad that he had traveled through time and space and did not have such a strange hairstyle.
Looking down, there was a two-finger-long scar on the other person’s cheek.
A fierce light flashed in his light brown pupils from time to time.
There was a strong murderous intent in his cold eyes.
Even if you just look into its eyes, it feels like being stared into the abyss.
It makes people feel endless helplessness and fear… It gives people the feeling of a rebellious madman, as if he would draw his knife and chop people if he disagrees with something, and he is extremely violent.
“I thought he was some kind of character…” Matsushita Nanase curled her lips as she looked at Sakaki Ye who was a little dazed in front of her.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared.
He casually placed his left hand on the scabbard of the sword at his left waist and walked towards Sakaki Ye with slow steps.
Danger!!!
????And Sakaki Ye, who was standing opposite, suddenly had his pupils shrink and his hair stood on end. He could only move sideways with incredibly fast movements to be on guard.
This definitely has dangerous implications.
His body now has super strong reaction ability.
????The reflex arc that people often talk about actually refers to the five senses and reactions.
This type exists independently of the body, is not affected by other parts of the body, and cannot be significantly improved through training.
Because there are some things that people are not born with and will never have in the future.
This is also called talent!
????No matter how small the movement is, it cannot escape Sakaki Ye s eyes.
Even a ninja’s hidden weapon sneak attack could not cause any harm to him as long as he could free his hands.
????It can be understood that Sakaki Ye can bring his own [danger] word reminder.
Plus the anti-human super strong mental reflex arc.
As long as he is fast enough, he can easily see through the opponent’s moves and remain invincible!
“Tsk, what a scary look!” He sneered.
“It seems that you really intend to fight to the end?” A playful smile appeared on Matsushita Nanase’s face.
“bring it on.”
Sakaki Ye’s powerful voice rang out clearly.
The sword was raised.
The feet are turned inward.
Be in a posture where you can attack or defend.
At this point, Sakaki Ye has calmed down.
In fact, whenever something serious happened, he was able to stay calm.
Because he knows that negative emotions in emergency situations will only push himself into the abyss, so he always keeps his composure.
Holding the sword in his hand, he stared at the enemy with his dark eyes and took an attacking stance.
Even if they really have to fight to the death, Sakaki Ye will never be perfunctory. He doesn’t need to consider whether he can beat the opponent.
He only needs to consider how to fight the enemy.
Anyone who dares to hinder his revenge is his enemy.
Because it only takes a short time to kill a person.
No matter who you are, if you lose your head you will die.
Nineteen Sword Slashes (Old Version)
“…” Concentrate and hold your breath.
Sakaki Ye quickly cleared his mind of unnecessary thoughts and distractions, and then quickly concentrated his attention.
He put all his heart and soul into the current confrontation with Matsushita Nanase.
While moving his feet, he constantly adjusted the distance between himself and Matsushita Nanase, looking for the best time and position to attack.
In order not to reveal his flaws, Sakaki Ye kept his eyes fixed on Matsushita Nanase.
At the same time, make sure that no matter how you move your feet, your body is always facing Matsushita Nanase.
So that we can be prepared to defend ourselves in time at the first opportunity.
This is definitely a powerful swordsman.
Facing this guy, Sakaki Ye cannot and dare not relax at all.
Once you relax, the other party will definitely not mind chopping off your head.
The crisp sound of a blade being unsheathed was heard.
A cold light flashed.
The snow-white blade reflected a cold light, which flashed and covered Sakaki Ye’s eyes.
The temperature in the forest at this moment was not that cold.
But the cold light reflected by the bright white blade seemed so icy and creepy.
Sakaki’s eyes narrowed slightly.
That’s sword drawing!
A burst of slashing sword skills.
The long sword in his hand was unsheathed.
The next moment, Matsushita Nanase shot out like an arrow from a bow and like the aurora.
From under his feet, a layer of smoke and dust visible to the naked eye was also shaken and blown away.
Only a circle of irregular traces was left.
There was a loud explosion in the air.
The oncoming blade tip cut through the airflow sharply.
Even at a distance, it makes one’s scalp tingle. ???
Sakaki’s gaze was fixed.
The pupils are dilated.
The scene in front of my eyes gradually became slow.
????But fortunately, the speed is still within an acceptable range.
His eyes could still clearly follow the speed and trajectory of the opponent’s sword swing.
And locked.
Therefore, he could fully discern the trajectory of the opponent’s sword.
Moreover, it seems that there is still enough energy to fight back! !
????clang!!!
????It happened in a flash, and Sakaki Ye also drew his sword.
????clang!
The two swords collided fiercely in mid-air, making a deafening sound of metal clashing.
Blades collide with blades.
A perfect counterattack!
???? Sakaki gritted his teeth and fought with his sword at an oblique edge, avoiding most of the enemy’s suppression force.
The continuous shock force is inevitably transmitted to the hands and torso.
Sakaki Ye couldn’t stop himself and took a step back to relieve the force.
Sizzle.
clang clang clang.
The sound of blacksmithing is crisp and pleasant.
The swords collided, sparks flew everywhere.
Sparks flew.
Those were the sparks that were caused by the friction.
????The strong wind blew each other’s faces.
????A strand of hair on Sakaki Ye’s forehead was also fluttering in the wind.
The core idea of ????drawing the sword and slashing is to strive to kill the enemy with one strike.
Use the instant high-speed sword attack to deal an unexpected blow to the enemy.
In short, it is a sneak attack tactic.
Being able to seize the initiative is called the first song.
Fortunately, Sakaki Ye s speed is not slow.
The latecomer arrives first.
In terms of speed, one thing is talent, and the other is the starting and sprinting techniques.
Sakaki Ye has a pretty good talent in this area.
After blocking such a fierce blow to the head, Sakaki Ye’s originally tense nerves relaxed a little.
It was not until this moment that Sakaki Ye realized that the back of his clothes had been slightly soaked with cold sweat at some point in time.
?This was nothing like the duel he had imagined.
Matsushita Nanase’s pair of narrow eyes couldn’t help but narrowed when she looked at Sakaki Ye’s figure.
He is a soldier who has been working hard on the battlefield all year round.
He was like an executioner who had killed people without hesitation, and his aura was enough to bring great oppression to people.
I thought that I could get rid of Sakaki Ye with just that one sword-drawing move.
Unexpectedly, it was blocked.
???The sneak attack has not yet succeeded, so you have to continue to use your sword.
Muttering something unlucky to herself, Nanase Matsushita twisted her neck.
The other party’s luck seems to be extremely good.
??The grip loosened, and the arm holding the blade loosened its strength.
He pushed the ground hard and quickly created some distance.
????The two sides separated at the first touch!
Looking at Sakaki Ye who suddenly tensed up his body, Matsushita Nanase shouted again.
At the same time, he clenched the knife in his hand.
The calm air was instantly torn apart by the sharp edge.
The strong airflow also swept over violently.
The cold light rolled back.
There was a sound of swords clashing together, and then there was a loud bang.
“Hmm…”
Just as the two swords collided in mid-air, colliding violently and producing sparks, the next moment after Sakaki Ye subconsciously let out a low cry of pain.
And this cry of pain carried with it some unbelievable changes.
Sakaki felt as if he had hit a solid brick wall.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t push the “blade” in front of him.
This guy is so strong!
There is some pain in the base of the thumb.
??Fast, fierce and accurate.
A burst of powerful and swift cuts and slashes.
The afterimages flitted and sparks flew.
But after hearing the clanging sound of iron hammering, the two sides once again distanced themselves from each other.
Sakaki Ye moved slightly, and the five fingers of his right hand, which were numb from blocking Matsushita Nanase’s attack.
At the same time, he thought bitterly in his heart that it was a difficult problem.
If it were an ordinary street fight or conflict, then at this moment, neither of the two people in confrontation would back down.
When one side is standing forward, it means coercion.
The other party’s counterattack should also be to take a step forward violently, so as to bring the distance between the gunpowder and the sparks closer.
????No words.
The two looked at each other from a distance.
They kicked their legs in unison again.
Step on the ground and get closer again.
Clang clang clang, clang clang clang! ?
In an instant, the sound of swords clashing continuously resounded around. ?
Sakaki Ye and Matsushita Nanase were both slashing at each other at a dizzying speed.
Sharp weapons collided repeatedly.
Sparking up sparks one after another. ?
The sound of swords clashing and the heat of iron forging.
??The two men fought with swords again.
Swords and knives, sparks flying.
????No one retreated or gave in!
The swords were entangled and suddenly held together.
The force was concentrated on the waist, and they wrestled with each other.
The so-called sword guard, which is commonly known as the hand guard or sword guard in modern times, is the main accessory of the knife.
In addition to protecting the palm, it is also a necessary part when drawing the sword.
Just put the blades of the samurai swords together tightly.
It is not easy to open and close.
In the end, it will naturally become a state of confrontation and wrestling like it is now.
Crunch.
Sakaki Ye and Matsushita Nanase confronted each other with their swords separated by their swords, competing with each other.
In such a stalemate, whoever runs out of energy first will lose his head.
Sakaki Ye stumbled.
In the previous confrontation, he was not able to defeat his opponent.
Sakaki Ye is best at speed, not strength.
Therefore, he gradually realized that he was not at an advantage if he competed with Matsushita Nanase in strength.
So, Sakaki quickly twisted his body.
The force coming from the front was released sideways, with the intention of getting rid of the current confrontation.
Matsushita Nanase, who saw through Sakaki’s intention, would not let Sakaki get his wish.
Whenever Sakaki Ye wanted to release the force to the sideways, Matsushita Nanase would also release the force to the sideways in the same way.
After all, he has more experience in this area than Sakaki Ye.
So, the two of them kept their swords crossed and ran horizontally on the ground.
????Thump, thump, thump.
Both sides were sliding on each other.
The bodies of the two men were separated by the weapons they used to fight.
They moved relative to each other on the spot, and then there was another powerful collision.
Each of them was also shaken by the power.
????Zhengzhengzheng.
Sparks flew and Sakaki’s arms felt sore and numb.
Just as the two swords collided again, Matsushita Nanase quickly loosened his hand that was holding the hilt of the sword and grabbed Sakaki’s right arm that was holding the sword.
Looking at the left hand extended by Matsushita Nanase, Sakaki’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink suddenly.
He quickly pulled his arms back and narrowly avoided the opponent’s big hand.
This is also a very common offensive method in wild fights.
While the enemy is unprepared, try to reach out and grab the enemy’s sword-holding arm to control the enemy’s movements.
Only those who have been on the battlefield would fight like this.
Sakaki Ye dodged the attack from Matsushita Nanase, tightened his grip on the sword again, and pounced on the opponent fiercely.
He pursed his lips, also aware of the thorny situation.
Sakaki’s eyes became deep and his expression became solemn. He tightened the sword in his hand and stared at the swordsman who was full of desire to attack.
Move slightly.
Moved out enough to maintain a safe distance.
After blocking the opponent’s sword once again, Sakaki Ye retreated several steps and put some distance between himself and Matsushita Nanase.
The reason for doing this to distance himself from Matsushita Nanase was, on the one hand, to adjust his disordered breathing.
Another reason is to give yourself enough time to replan countermeasures.
I took a deep breath to relieve the pressure on my body, and felt the numbness and soreness in my arms. A lot of my physical strength was also consumed.
???The knife just now made his hand numb.
???Not only is it very fast, it is also very powerful.
????It was a close call.
Fortunately, he has become stronger.
I couldn’t find any flaws in Matsushita Nanase.
It’s simply…like an unshakable mountain.
This is Sakaki Ye’s truest thought at this moment.
My breathing became a little rapid.
It was the first time that Sakaki Ye encountered such a strong enemy, so he couldn’t help but be on his guard.
His eyes were fixed on Matsushita Nanase opposite him, not daring to even blink.
Sakaki Ye could clearly sense a hint of murderous intent.
That kind of pure will that looks down on everything and despises everything, without the slightest emotion.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the other party, killing is as casual as eating and drinking.
Simply, a devil.
This is his usual style!
A pair of scarlet eyes stared at Sakaki Ye, revealing viciousness and murderous intent.
Just like a pack of wolves that have found their prey, they are often not in a hurry to hunt, but will slowly wear down the patience and stamina of their prey.
Nanase Matsushita is also enjoying this process.
After all, prey that breaks into the hunting ground can only be hunted at will by hunters.
As for the thoughts of the prey itself?
hehe!
Who would care?
Push off the ground with your feet.
He rushed forward again, as fast as a ghost, and swung the blade in his hand down mercilessly without hesitation!
A rush of gravel.
The cold wind is howling.
There is no need for much words between soldiers.
So, what followed was only the collision of swords and knives, and the fight of blood and fog.
However, from beginning to end, Nanase Matsushita firmly believed that she was the ultimate winner.
He hasn’t even started to exert his strength yet!
Twenty to Die (Old Version)
In order to avoid the knife light, Sakaki Ye rolled over, and his ears moved slightly without getting up.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air from behind him.
A glance from the corner of my eye.
The blade in the opponent’s hand was turning into a dazzling blade light, and it swept towards Sakaki Ye fiercely.
Sakaki swung his arm forward and thrust his sword hard, preparing to push away the blade in front of him.
Looking at the sharp tip of the knife that was getting bigger within his field of vision,
Sakaki narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then, he quickly turned his hands holding the knife and shook them.
The sword in his hand, at a strange angle, accurately intercepted the tip of Matsushita Nanase’s knife that was coming towards him with great force.
Sakaki’s wrist twisted.
Immediately, the sword blade fell.
This also caused Matsushita Nanase’s sword to completely deviate from its original trajectory.
Sakaki Ye used exquisite techniques to block Matsushita Nanase’s blade and then aimed it at his chest.
Penetrate with great force.
A glimpse of beauty.
Even when facing a swordsman stronger than himself, Sakaki Ye is not at a disadvantage at all.
Without giving in, he took or dodged every attack from Matsushita Nanase and launched a counterattack even more fiercely than the attack he had already launched.
“How brave!”
With a loud shout, he blocked Sakaki Ye’s attack, and Matsushita Nanase’s slender eyes were immediately filled with murderous intent.
As he moved, his shoulders unconsciously shrank inward.
Always protect the weak points of the chest and abdomen, like a vigilant tiger.
Matsushita Nanase’s breathing seemed very long.
With every breath, it seemed as if every part of the body was trembling and resonating in a rhythmic manner.
It was as if there was a complete circulatory system in his body.
This allows Nanase Matsushita to possess the ferocious physical strength of a wild beast during a fight.
The other person’s current breathing is not like that of ordinary people, who breathe in and out at a very regular rhythm.
Instead, he breathes in a rhythm that is…regular, but quite strange.
So, can I learn from it?
He began to subconsciously adjust the frequency of his breathing.
Swish.
At the same time, after re-positioning himself, Matsushita Nanase did not continue the confrontation with Sakaki Ye for too long, and stepped directly back to the ground.
His figure turned into an arrow shot from a bow, and he rushed towards Sakaki Ye fiercely.
There was a series of sounds of metal hitting each other and exploding continuously.
Struggling to fight back.
Sakaki bit his lips tightly.
The two swords collided heavily again.
However, this time, the two men’s knives did not separate immediately.
The swords were fiercely crossed together, and the owners of the two swords wrestled with each other.
In this struggle, Nanase Matsushita gradually gained the upper hand.
Sakaki Ye, who was originally standing well on his feet, was suppressed little by little by Matsushita Nanase.
His hind legs gradually bent.
Finally, I had to squat on the ground.
“What’s wrong?” Matsushita Nanase smiled ferociously across the crossed swords of the two.
“Yo yo yo, are you…out of strength?”
Sakaki Ye ignored Matsushita Nanase’s sarcasm.
He took a breath, and just stared at the other person mockingly through the knives of the two men.
“Huh… I’m just… preparing to kill you in one go.”
After saying that, Sakaki Ye, who was originally half-squatting on the ground, holding Matsushita Nanase’s knife tightly and enduring the huge force from the opponent, suddenly dodged to the left.
He flashed to the left side of Matsushita Nanase with his sword and withdrew from the wrestling.
He ended the wrestling with his opponent and immediately swung out the sword in his hand.
“Huff!” The sword shadow passed through the air, accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, and the sword tip slashed down swiftly.
The sword tip shook in the air, and in an instant, three sword flowers appeared.
The tip of the sword kept shaking, making it difficult to tell whether it was real or fake.
The sharp blade went straight towards Sakaki Ye.
The long sword continued to move forward with unabated momentum, rubbing against the back of the blade, rubbing against each other, the edge of the sword rubbing against the back of the blade.
Sizzle!
Suddenly, sparks flew.
Taking advantage of the gap when the blade had not yet been retracted, Sakaki Ye cut straight in and continued to push with the hand holding the hilt.
Stab straight into the opponent’s chest.
Unfortunately, because of his rich experience, even though his body was relatively clumsy, he still managed to block the stab with the back of the knife at the last moment.
Regretfully, Sakaki Ye did not continue to fight, but decisively took a half step back and drew back the sword.
“No gambling!”
Sakaki Ye made a decision in his heart, and the blade that was slashing towards the opponent’s neck suddenly changed direction and slashed sideways towards the opponent’s waist and abdomen.
Sakaki Ye’s reaction was very quick.
He moves as fast as the wind.
The sharp sword in his hand whistled out.
Stab up and pick down.
Cut horizontally and chop vertically.
In his hands, he could use the weapon as easily as with his own arms. His attack was like mercury pouring out on the ground, continuous and endless.
However, the results were not good.
Nanase Matsushita on the opposite side seemed like a stubborn rock standing in the river channel, and could remain unmoved no matter how turbulent the river was.
His swings seemed to be random, but each one was like hitting a poisonous snake’s vital point, shattering the incoming dazzling sword lights and shadows time and time again.
Rapid attack and defense, with dense sounds.
It’s enough to make people dizzy.
It’s like dancing on the edge of a knife, dangerous and intoxicating.
The sword blade was raised upright to block the opponent’s horizontal slash.
“What do you think? Sakaki Ye, I told you you have no chance.” Matsushita Nanase curled her lips and looked at Sakaki Ye.
A tiger, however, will not be afraid of an old and weak sheep.
However, Sakaki Ye’s tenacious resistance also won him respect.
Putting the contradiction aside for now, Matsushita Nanase really admires Sakaki Ye’s enthusiasm.
Because, not everyone can continue to muster all their strength, cheer up and keep moving forward after repeated setbacks!
“Don’t struggle in vain. Surrender as soon as possible. I can still give you a quick death and save you from pain.”
“There’s no point in saying more. I won’t surrender even if I have to die, even if you’re Sato Jingyuan’s lackey.”
“Running dog?” Sakaki Ye’s words seemed to anger Matsushita Nanase.
Matsushita Nanase’s face darkened instantly.
“You are a remnant of the traitors, yet you are still speaking nonsense here!”
“I’m different from people like you. I’m a true warrior who stands tall and proud!”
“A real samurai?” Sakaki Ye looked as if he had heard a very funny joke.
He chuckled a few times and said in a serious tone, “You help the tyrant and willingly serve as a lackey for a beast. Is this also called a warrior?!”
“Then you are truly a noble breed!” Sakaki Ye paid more attention to the last few words.
“What do you know?!” Matsushita Nanase roared in a voice that was no less loud than Sakaki Ye’s.
“Forget about right and wrong, good and evil, and be loyal to your lord wholeheartedly. This is Bushido! This is a true samurai!”
“Really?” Sakaki curled his lips in disdain.
“So, even if you follow a beast, you can still be complacent?”
“Then you are really excellent!”
After saying this, Sakaki Ye held his sword horizontally in front of him and slightly tilted it.
Stand on tiptoe with your left foot and step forward.
The steel plate covered with sand and gravel under my feet sank slightly.
The blade looks like falling snow, shining brightly in the sunlight.
In fact, he was still somewhat nervous.
Only when a person recognizes that another person is a formidable enemy will he try to use words as a sword or a spear in the battle.
Only when people feel that the enemy they face is difficult to defeat will they use words to try to encourage bravery for themselves.
After all, language has always been the sharp sword and spear that mankind is proud of.
Possesses the power to defeat the strong with the weak and defeat powerful opponents in unexpected battlefields.
“Sakaki Ye, you and I hold completely different beliefs! No matter how much I talk to someone like you, it’s just a waste of time!” Matsushita Nanase also understood Sakaki Ye’s intentions.
“Haha, Ichidairyu – Xialiu!”
With a clear shout, Sakaki Ye’s eyes turned cold.
It doesn’t matter, he has already finished charging.
The attack that was ready to be launched suddenly exploded.
This move is a relatively explosive skill in Gong Er’s sword style.
Its name is Xiali.
It is said that the name was taken from the carp and crucian carp in the river, which swing their tails and dive.
This move can gather all the strength of the whole body and concentrate it on one point, creating a momentum like thunder and tail.
Through the collision between weapons, they are released in one go.
The more powerful the burst, the more upright the torso should be, the more stable the legs should be, and the more flexible the arms should be.
Use your force to pull your center of gravity up from the ground, imagine your hands as the tail of a crucian carp, and swing them out hard.
There was a sudden sound of breaking air.
Faced with the sudden attack, Matsushita Nanase was not surprised at all.
He reacted extremely quickly, pushed off the ground with his feet, and flew into the air.
There seemed to be an endless amount of flexible shock force on the knife. When it was chopped down with a strong and domineering sword, it was easily shaken away by the blade.
The amplitude of the vibration was not big, just like a shake of the hand.
However, Sakaki Ye’s originally coherent moves were immediately disrupted.
Even if I can get back into shape, I will always feel upset.
This can be considered as an immature behavior as a warrior.
The energy to think about random things on the battlefield should only belong to the strong ones who are good at fighting and have a grasp of the overall situation.
And those immature novices always forget that they should always focus their thoughts and attention.
Anyone with experience knows that if you keep fighting like this for a long time, your flaws will be exposed one after another.
Therefore, Sakaki Ye also adjusted himself in time.
He took two big steps back in a row, once again decisively, and widened the distance between himself and Matsushita Nanase.
As the saying goes, the layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details.
This is a test, but also a way to hide the possibility of a sudden attack being launched in the next moment.
Sakaki Ye’s next steps were similar to the small steps in fighting.
The steps under your feet can be moved slightly within a short distance to adjust the best position for attacking or counterattacking.
Keep your weapon hidden and wait for the right time to act.
A kendo competition is not like a fighting match, which requires a long period of back and forth.
Victory or defeat is often decided in an instant, like the sound of spring thunder.
A hideous and terrifying shadow gradually appeared on his face.
“You can’t stop me, so why bother?” Matsushita Nanase said with a ferocious smile.
The tone contained a cold murderous intent, like a piercing cold wind blowing through people, making people shudder.
Nanase Matsushita represents the samurai thought of the old shogunate era.
People like them have a deep-rooted sense of hierarchy.
People like them attach great importance to the relationships between superiors and subordinates, and seniors and juniors, and they also believe that the strong are respected.
When he realized that Sakaki Ye was no match for him at all, he relaxed a lot.
There was an obvious air of disdain in his words.
Sakaki took a deep breath and quickly moved his right wrist that was holding the sword.
“I have never been a kind person.”
“If someone wants to take my life, no matter what his reason is, I will not sit and wait for death.”
“So, if you want to kill me, then I’ll have to trouble you to be prepared to be killed by me.”
At this moment, Sakaki Ye was full of fighting spirit.
What emanates from his body is the strong will of a swordsman.
It is the determination to live towards death.
It is the unrestrained attitude of repaying kindness and revenge, transcending oneself, and fighting to the end.
A true swordsman can face anything with ease.
The joy of revenge.
Indulge yourself.
When faced with people who are ignorant of the current situation, there is no need for him to swallow his anger even if he is a king or a minister.
In his previous life, Sakaki Ye once felt sorry for those who committed suicide because of being bullied.
Since we all have the courage to face death, why don t we have the courage to do something else?
In the past, he was a good citizen who abided by the law and obeyed the rules.
Now that the peace of the past is gone, we naturally need the power to protect ourselves.
He already has.
So, with a ferocious beast in front of you, how can you suppress the urge to draw your sword?
If you fight with someone with the intention of killing him, you must also be prepared to be killed.
Sakaki Ye is a man of great determination. No matter how great the difficulties are, he will grit his teeth and face them head-on.
This is the swordsman’s awareness.
The way of a swordsman is to live towards death.
The Power of Ryuo (Old Version)
The sword in Sakaki Ye’s hand cut across.
As expected, it was easily blocked by Matsushita Nanase.
The sword blade was bounced into the air and Sakaki’s wrist was numb.
????However, he was not panicked at all.
Quickly lean over and move sideways.
After gaining some distance, he jumped up into the air with his nimble body.
He turned 180 degrees in the air, and the sword in his hand became even colder.
Like an arc of light from a meteor, it strikes down!
Swing your arms and chop again!
Nanase Matsushita stepped hard on her hind legs.
Dust and smoke flew from the heel of the back foot.
He pushed the ground with his back foot, then used his waist to transfer the force to his arms, and then all at once, he passed the force along the blade.
“What you feel you can rely on is just the sword skills you learned in the sword gym?” Matsushita Nanase once again intercepted Sakaki Ye’s attack and blocked the sharp sword tip with her blade!
???? Making a sizzling sound.
The friction between the blades produced tiny sparks.
His gaze swept towards Sakaki Ye.
“Huff, you can’t crack it either, right?” Sakaki Ye’s eyes were firm. He took a breath and looked fixedly at Matsushita Nanase.
“Haha, it’s just swordsmanship. There has never been an unsolvable trick in the world. As long as a person can swing a sword, there will be a way to crack it!” Matsushita Nanase curled her lips.
“The so-called unstoppable moves are nothing more than the enemy being too weak and too slow!”
“Haha, it seems like I have to show off some of my real skills.”
Matsushita Nanase curled her lips and revealed a silent grin, which contained the ferocity of a carnivore.
“You’d better try your best to kill me, and I’ll kill you with all my strength!”
After saying that, he lowered his body, his heartbeat speed increased rapidly, and he entered the most manic fighting state again.
As the words fell, a dark cloud appeared from Matsushita Nanase’s palm.
????However, it is not pitch black in the sense of color.
Instead, it was covered with a layer of pitch-black substance from the inside out.
This layer of light black substance flowed along Matsushita Nanase’s palm and covered the blade in his hand.
This is
????Sakaki Ye was stunned for a moment.
Is this the armed color?
This must be the armed color domineering!
Sakaki widened his eyes subconsciously.
As the most familiar special power in the world of One Piece.
Domineering is definitely a topic that cannot be avoided.
??However, the original work does not seem to explain in detail how to cultivate domineering aura.
Even though Sakakiye had watched the animation One Piece, he only knew this.
Domineering is a hidden power that everyone in this world possesses.
This kind of power is an innate ability.
Just like “momentum” and “deterrence”, it exists like an instinct.
However, most people are unable to realize this power or are unable to bring it into play throughout their lives.
And when it includes momentum, murderous intent, fighting spirit… and manipulating these invisible feelings, willpower can be transformed into weapons.
This powerful force is called domineering by the vast majority of people in this world.
However, for ordinary people, the domineering power is deeply hidden in their bodies and cannot be erupted at all.
???? Domineering, can be divided into three types in detail.
This includes possessing the “qualifications of a king” and the “domineering” aura that can shock or scare the enemy with one’s own “spirit”.
It can increase defense and attack power, and can touch the “armament color” domineering of the entity of the “natural system” fruit ability user.
And the “Observation Haki” domineering that can predict the opponent’s next move and position.
In this world, except for “Conqueror’s Haki” and “the highest level of Observation Haki”, ordinary people can obtain this power through practice, and can continue to practice to enhance it.
However, after reaching a certain limit, one can reach a higher level under extreme conditions of actual combat.
Only some special guys can naturally awaken their domineering nature.
Of course, this kind of awakening only applies to the Observation Haki or Conqueror Haki.
Even though he has been in this world for some time, Sakaki Ye has not found any training methods related to armament color.
Without any clue, it is natural that one will never be able to find the direction of practice.
However, this seemingly powerful swordsman in front of him was actually so domineering!
“It seems that you also know this power.” Matsushita Nanase grinned.
From Sakaki Ye’s expression, one could see his visibly solemn expression.
“That’s right! This is the power called Ryusakura!”
The corners of Matsushita Nanase’s mouth curled up.
This was a powerful force passed down to him by Lord Shinheng Jianhao, the most powerful right-hand man under the command of the daimyo Sato Jingyuan, to whom he was loyal.
Although, he has not yet fully mastered this power.
However, at the critical moment, it is enough to kill the enemy.
In the Country of Wano, Armament Haki is called “Ryu Sakura”, which means “flow”.
It can improve one’s own defense and attack power, and gather the domineering energy that was originally in a useless place on the fist for attack.
The Ryuo Haki of Wano Country is very famous even in the New World.
There was a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Ripples of black substance appeared on the sword.
In addition to strengthening one’s own physical fitness, Armament Haki can also be wrapped around weapons to increase attack power.
He said directly to Sakaki Ye: “The so-called tactics are actually prepared for opponents of equal strength.”
“But when a tiger faces a lamb, letting the lamb see the tiger’s sharp and powerful claws is already a kindness to the lamb!”
“I want you to know the difference between you and me!”
“See? Only fools would ignore the essence and pursue fancy moves. The truly powerful people don’t even need sword moves. They can kill people with just one sword!”
After saying this, Matsushita Nanase suddenly leaped towards Sakaki Ye at a low altitude gliding posture!
As he jumped up, he quickly changed his posture to holding the hilt of the knife with both hands.
And, quickly switch to the upper stance.
The attack came too fast and too violently.
clang clang clang!
The two knives collided with each other, making a clanging sound and sparks flying as they continued to collide.
The cold wind seemed to stop at this moment.
The air around him began to solidify as if it had suddenly taken on substance.
When a person’s strength reaches its limit.
Even if he simply swung his sword, it would still be a powerful strike!
????When a person’s speed reaches its limit, he can also bring about a series of strong winds and raging fires.
That was also a cut!
With the attachment of armed color domineering.
His tactics suddenly became much more radical.
He opened and closed his hands vigorously, as if he was pouring all his strength into every strike.
It was precisely because Matsushita Nanase’s attacks were so fierce that Sakaki Ye had to devote his heart and soul to every defense and dared not be negligent in any way.
Sakaki clenched his teeth, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Bang bang bang!
His heart rate was increasing.
Adrenaline is also continuing to surge.
Brilliant blood splashed out.
This time, Sakaki Ye couldn’t resist any more.
?Human power is, after all, just human power.
With a swish, Sakaki Ye was immediately cut by the sharp tip of the knife.
Fortunately, when Matsushita Nanase attacked, she kept the blade flat before thrusting.
Because the width of the blade is larger than the gap between human ribs.
If you stab with the blade upright, it will easily scrape the bone, but if you just hold the blade flat, you can easily insert the knife into the deepest part between the ribs.
This is also what gave Sakaki Ye some opportunities.
The sword blade deflected the opponent’s blade.
it hurts!
Sakaki Ye now only felt a burning sensation on his left shoulder.
At the same time, I felt the clothes on my left shoulder slowly becoming wet.
The blood flowing from the wound on his left shoulder soaked Sakaki Ye’s clothes in an instant.
I don’t even know how to use words to describe the gap between the two.
There is a world of difference.
This is the only relatively appropriate adjective that Sakaki Ye can think of in his mind.
huff huff.
Sakaki lowered his eyes slightly.
Swallowed hard.
He reluctantly moistened his slightly dry throat, which had been so focused on the battle that he didn’t even have time to swallow his saliva.
A bit embarrassing.
It’s like clear water flowing into dry ground.
The warm saliva moistened Sakaki’s dry throat, making him feel a slight sore throat, but also a little more comfortable.
Sakaki’s heart was beating at an unprecedented high frequency, and he felt that the air around his body seemed to become stickier and heavier.
Because the air became sticky, Sakaki found it difficult to breathe.
Sure enough, if you want to reach the top, the body is the foundation.
It is very obvious that if one’s physical fitness is not up to standard, one will only die faster when facing a strong enemy.
His face turned pale and cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead due to the pain.
He took a few breaths and adjusted his breathing, which had become a little disordered due to the pain.
Matsushita Nanase raised the blade in her hand, and invisible waves were lingering on the blade.
This is the entanglement of armed color.
It is also the most basic of the four ways to use Armament Haki.
Entanglement, hardening, externalization, and internal destruction.
These are the names of the four different armament colors.
In fact, there is no strict distinction between high and low, just different ways of usage.
Of course, the power that can be exerted is very different.
But in fact, the difference is at the technical level, just like the difference between using the same gunpowder to make firecrackers and bombs.
The true level distinction of Armament Haki essentially comes from the comparison between quality and quantity.
It doesn’t mean that the internal destruction of the armament color is necessarily stronger than the hardened one.
The armed color of internal destruction.
This technique is the most difficult and strongest way to use Armament Haki that we know of.
In the waters of the New World, armament color has long been everywhere, and any pirate with a little fame can use this domineering aura skillfully.
However, 99% of pirates only know how to use entanglement or hardening techniques.
The flowing armament color is already rarely known, and even fewer people can use it.
There was a deafening sound of metal colliding.
Although, Sakaki Ye managed to block Matsushita Nanase’s sword with great effort.
But there was also an extra scratch on his body.
Spots of blood were drawn out by inertia from the tip of the knife that had cut Sakaki Ye’s body.
Sakaki Ye gritted his teeth, used his left foot as the axis, turned his body counterclockwise, dodged Matsushita Nanase’s new attack by turning around, and staggered backwards using the centrifugal force.
Twenty-two: The Suppressed Sakaki Ye (Old Version)
“How about it, have you seen my power?” Matsushita Nanase narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Sakaki Ye with a meaningful look.
A ferocious smile was revealed.
“Then just die in peace!”
Crack, crack, crack!
Matsushita Nanase turned stillness into movement, holding the long sword in both hands, kicking the dust on the ground, and rushed straight towards Sakaki Ye with viciousness!
He swung his arm again, using all his strength to chop down fiercely with the knife.
The swords rubbed against each other, making a series of sharp crackling sounds.
Sparks of friction emanated from the blade.
This time, Sakaki did not respond.
Because what Matsushita Nanase said was right.
In terms of head-on strength, he really cannot beat Matsushita Nanase who has Armament Haki.
He didn’t have the energy to retort.
His chest was rising and falling violently like a blower.
Sakaki Ye’s breathing is now completely disordered and he is unable to adjust his breathing rhythm back to a normal level.
I just feel like I have to be on edge all the time.
If you are distracted for the moment, all your efforts will fail.
At that time, Matsushita Nanase would definitely chop off his head without hesitation.
The atmosphere fell into silence, and there seemed to be the sound of burning fire in the air.
The blade in Sakaki Ye’s hand was also full of pits.
As time passed, Sakaki Ye could clearly sense that he was slowly falling into a disadvantage.
There is no other reason.
His physical strength could not keep up with the opponent’s hacking.
Whether attacking, dodging or defending, it consumes physical strength.
Especially when he was blocking Matsushita Nanase’s attack which was attached with Armament Haki and seemed increasingly heavy, the amount of energy required to be consumed increased exponentially.
Every time he used the sword to block an attack from Matsushita Nanase, he would be met with a recoil force.
The recoil force would directly make his arm slightly numb.
After one or two times, you will naturally recover quickly.
However, if the combat frequency is high, Sakaki Ye will have no time to recover.
As time went by, Sakaki gradually felt that his physical strength was no longer enough.
In comparison, Matsushita Nanase has plenty of physical strength and spirit.
In other words, the condensation of Armament Haki also requires a certain amount of physical strength, so Matsushita Nanase will only fully condense Armament Haki and exert pressure when her sword collides with Sakaki Ye’s.
Otherwise, Sakaki Ye would be in even greater trouble.
whoosh.
The sharp tip of the knife quickly cut through the air, making a sharp sound.
Sakaki Ye rolled to the right.
He dodged in time before Matsushita Nanase’s sword stabbed him.
In fact, Sakaki Ye’s rolling was not aimless.
The sword in his hand was now half-broken due to the fierce collision and was no longer suitable for use in fierce battles.
Sakaki Ye specifically rolled towards a katana that was stuck in the ground to his right and looked still quite intact.
He rolled, ducked, threw away the heavy sword in his hand, turned around and quickly grabbed the knife that was still intact and stuck in the ground.
The action is done in one go.
For the swordsmen of the island nation, swords and knives are inseparable.
Sakaki Ye had just stood up again with the new sword in his hand when a new round of attacks came from Matsushita Nanase’s side.
Matsushita Nanase showed no mercy and stabbed Sakaki Ye in the chest again.
The blade stabbed out again, as if compressing the surrounding atmosphere, and it came down fiercely with a terrifying momentum.
The expression on Sakaki Ye’s face became extremely serious and solemn.
He didn’t dare to take Matsushita Nanase’s attack head-on.
Sakaki’s pupils suddenly dilated and he stared at the tip of the gun that was getting closer and closer to him.
When the tip of Nanase Matsushita’s knife was about to pierce him, Sakaki took a deep breath and dodged to the side swiftly, leaving Nanase Matsushita with no choice but to pass by Sakaki in vain.
Seeing that Sakaki Ye had dodged his attack again, Matsushita Nanase’s brows couldn’t help but jump slightly in surprise again.
“Huff.” Sakaki Ye took another deep breath.
A drop of sweat ran down his forehead.
I’m in trouble.
He kept passively dodging the attacks from Matsushita Nanase, but he was unable to defeat the powerful enemy in front of him.
If you defend for too long, you will lose.
Sakaki Ye couldn’t just defend himself.
Therefore, after dodging Nanase Matsushita’s attack, Sakaki Ye immediately stomped the ground hard, and like a bull, he accelerated towards Nanase Matsushita, trying to get close to Nanase Matsushita.
However, Sakaki Ye had just taken four or five steps forward when he saw Matsushita Nanase also retreating a step with ease.
The sharp blade stabbed towards Sakaki Ye again.
If Sakaki Ye rushed forward again, he would be stabbed into pieces by the knife.
So, Sakaki Ye had to stop and jump to the side again to avoid the attack from Matsushita Nanase.
“It seems that you are much more capable than I thought…” With a cold face, Nanase Matsushita quietly adjusted his knife-holding posture.
Matsushita Nanase was confident enough in her swordsmanship and domineering power that she thought she only needed to make a few more strikes to end this guy’s life.
But now, he found that the opponent in front of him did not seem so easy to deal with.
Matsushita Nanase silently adjusted her stance and thrust the blade in her hand forward again!
Seeing that Matsushita Nanase had launched another attack, Sakaki Ye also held his breath and concentrated.
He stared at the tip of the knife which was rapidly enlarging within his field of vision.
Although Matsushita Nanase has two major advantages over herself, namely strength and domineering suppression.
However, through constant sword fighting, Sakaki Ye also noticed a disadvantage of Matsushita Nanase.
Nanase Matsushita’s sword speed is not that fast.
Although his sword was powerful and strong, its speed was not very fast.
Therefore, Sakaki Ye, who possesses extraordinary dynamic vision, can easily capture the trajectory of every sword attack from Matsushita Nanase.
Whoosh whoosh.
Nanase Matsushita swung the long sword like a windmill.
At this moment, he is the axis of the windmill, and the whistling blades are the blades of the windmill.
A flick.
Swing again!
The long sword drew a beautiful arc and launched two consecutive sweeps towards Sakaki Ye from a distance!
When the long sword swept over for the first time, Sakaki Ye dodged it narrowly.
But after the long sword swept over for the second time, Sakaki Ye no longer felt so lucky.
Sakaki Ye’s retreat speed was a little slow.
The tip of the knife swept across Sakaki’s chest.
Suddenly, a long blood mark appeared on Sakaki Ye’s chest.
Sakaki Ye immediately jumped back several steps to increase the distance between himself and Matsushita Nanase, then looked down at the wound on his chest.
Fortunately, the wound on his body was not very deep. It only cut some flesh and did not hurt the bones. It was just an ordinary skin injury.
Woo !
Matsushita Nanase’s blade cut through the air and attacked Sakaki Ye fiercely again!
Sakaki Ye hastily raised his eyes and stared at Matsushita Nanase in front of him with an extremely solemn look who was stabbing at him again.
Nanase Matsushita is now acting like a cannon that keeps firing.
The blade in his hand is his cannonball.
The powerful blows allowed him to stand still and poke Sakaki with the blade, and occasionally use a range attack like “sweep”, while Sakaki could only passively take the beating.
Without the chance to get close, he would not be able to launch an effective attack on Matsushita Nanase.
Failure to launch an effective attack on Matsushita Nanase…means final defeat, and it is only a matter of time.
Now Sakaki Ye can still use the adjustment of his steps to continuously dodge the attacks from Matsushita Nanase, but his physical strength is not unlimited.
There will always be a time when he is exhausted and no longer has the strength to dodge Nanase Matsushita’s attacks.
Sakaki Ye tried to open his eyes wide, watching the trajectory of the opponent’s blade, trying to find any flaws that could be exploited.
After careful observation, Sakaki Ye actually discovered that there was a place that might be worth paying attention to.
Matsushita Nanase’s main attack targets have always been Sakaki Ye’s neck, chest, abdomen, etc. Once stabbed or chopped, even if he doesn’t die on the spot, he will be left half dead.
However, from time to time, Matsushita Nanase would lower the sword’s force and attack Sakaki’s lower body, trying to injure Sakaki’s legs.
Lower plate
Sakaki Ye, who noticed Nanase Matsushita’s attacking style, chewed on the word “lower body” in his mind.
Perhaps, there are still some opportunities.
I just don’t know when I can find that opportunity.
Sakaki felt extremely tired.
It’s not just the body that is tired, it’s the mind as well.
In a battlefield that has never experienced such cruelty, fighting against a powerful and flawless enemy requires sufficient physical and mental strength.
Sakaki Ye has clearly realized that his opponent is superior to him in strength, speed, explosiveness, and agility.
The opponent’s only weakness may be his skills, that is, his tactics.
All of Matsushita Nanase’s attacks rely solely on pure speed, strength and explosive power, without too many changes, so Sakaki Ye can only hold on until now by relying on various complicated changes in moves.
Sakaki took a deep breath of cold air.
His eyes were fixed on Matsushita Nanase’s blade, and his mind was so highly concentrated that Sakakiye didn’t even blink.
Be calm…
Waiting for the opportunity…
Wait for the opportunity.
Sakaki Ye no longer tried to rush up and get close to Matsushita Nanase whenever there was a gap in her attacks as he did before.
Instead, he put all his energy into dodging.
The whistling sound continued.
Matsushita Nanase, who was obsessed with killing Sakaki Ye as soon as possible, kept swinging the blade in his hand wildly like a whip.
The sharp blade tip kept shrinking and stabbing out, like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, revealing Sakaki Ye’s ferocious venom and sharp fangs.
The tip of the blade passed over Sakaki Ye’s side, tearing the fabric of his clothes on his side.
In fact, Nanase Matsushita was also a little fluctuating.
He originally thought that the outcome could be decided quickly, but unexpectedly he and Sakaki Ye ended up in a stalemate here.
This made Matsushita Nanase feel a little impatient and unhappy.
However, he had already judged that even if he eventually defeated Sakaki Ye, he himself would definitely pay a heavy price.
Nanase Matsushita doesn’t want to get too injured or become disabled in order to defeat Sakaki Ye.
After fighting time and time again in various environments, the fighting instinct has been engraved into Matsushita Nanase’s bones.
Even after a long period of relative peace, it has not been erased.
He is not a flower in a greenhouse. He has experienced more hardships and knows that being too impatient will easily lead to missing opportunities and putting himself in a passive position.
Therefore, Matsushita Nanase also kept a close eye on Sakaki Ye, thinking about a good strategy to deal with the enemy.
Calm down…wait a little longer…
The blade swept across and almost cut a gash in Sakaki Ye’s chest.
It s not time yet wait a little longer hold on a little longer!
hateful.
If I continue to waste time like this, I will definitely lose.
Sakaki Ye, who has made up his mind to take a gamble, is still struggling and waiting with gritted teeth.
Waiting for the best opportunity to put into practice the idea that just popped into his mind.
If his idea could succeed, he would be able to get close to Matsushita Nanase in one breath!
It happened in the blink of an eye.
The opportunity that Sakaki Ye has been waiting for… has finally arrived!
Matsushita Nanase, who had been launching fierce attacks on Sakaki’s vital points, suddenly took a step back and slightly increased the distance between himself and Sakaki.
Then he lowered his body and slightly lowered his center of gravity, while at the same time lowering the blade in his hand, with the tip of the blade pointing diagonally to the ground.
After changing the sword’s momentum smoothly, Matsushita Nanase launched a thrust towards Sakaki Ye’s right foot!
Looking at the blade heading straight for his ankle, a dazzling gleam immediately flashed in Sakaki Ye’s eyes.
Just as he observed.
This guy Matsushita Nanase would attack his lower body from time to time!
Here we come!
Stare intently at the blade that is flying towards you at a rapid speed!
At the moment when the opponent’s sharp blade was about to cut his right ankle, Sakaki Ye suddenly clenched his teeth, took a wrong step, and turned his body to the side.
The next moment he dodged to the left and avoided the slash from Matsushita Nanase.
He also swung his sword and slashed.
It fell on the blade that had not yet been retracted, pressing Matsushita Nanase’s blade to the ground!
Then, he followed the blade all the way to catch up.
Matsushita Nanase didn’t even have time to swing her sword.
The sharp cold light is right in front of you.
He could clearly feel the coolness of the sword brushing against his cheek, taking away a few strands of hair.
The two figures crossed each other in a tit-for-tat battle, and the fierce attack seemed to be in vain.
The tip of the knife turned, and he stepped on the ground, leaving cracks on the ground.
With the force generated by this, Matsushita Nanase actually overcame inertia, turned in the air, and stabbed again, faster and stronger than before!
For a moment, Sakaki Ye, who was in the middle of it, felt like a sapling that could be blown down by the wind at any time…
Twenty-three: A big breakthrough between life and death (old version)
The sound of “whoosh whoosh” breaking wind is endless.
The knife flashed.
Just listening to it makes your scalp tingle.
If Sakaki Ye was not careful and got hit on the head, his head would probably be split from the forehead to the throat.
With a “clang” sound, Matsushita Nanase’s right arm suddenly pressed down like a taut bowstring.
Covered with a pitch-black substance, the knife fell with a sharp movement.
A sharp whistling sound of breaking wind was heard.
The air was cut, and the blade turned into a needle-like sharp light.
Matsushita Nanase had a forced smile on her face and pounced towards Sakaki Ye with overwhelming momentum.
If the speed of the jump just now was like an arrow leaving a bow.
The speed he is bursting out now is like a cannonball flying out of the barrel!
Taking advantage of the gravity brought by the falling body, the blade was aimed at Sakaki Ye’s head.
He turned over and chopped sideways, then swung out fiercely, a diagonal slash with great force and power!
Sakaki gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and then jumped to the side with all his strength.
Not that he flinched.
His palms were broken and he couldn’t hold on any longer.
Every time the blade of Nanase Matsushita chopped down and hit the knife in his hand, Sakaki Ye felt an irresistible force transmitted from the blade to his hand.
My arms felt numb as if an electric current had passed through them, and I took a half step back uncontrollably.
Nanase Matsushita is known for her “strength” and is able to focus on practicality and overwhelming the opponent’s momentum and strength during combat.
After adding the Armament Haki, his fighting style became more violent.
Matsushita Nanase quickly switched the blade in her hand to an upper stance.
Taking advantage of the inertia of the forward charge, he swung the knife fiercely at Sakaki Ye’s forehead as if he wanted to chop the opponent into pieces in an instant.
When Matsushita Nanase rushed towards him, Sakaki Ye’s gaze suddenly focused.
He spread his legs, held the knife with both hands, and raised it horizontally above his head.
Brilliant flames burst in the air.
There was also a sharp sound of metal colliding with each other.
Crack!
There was a sharp and harsh sound of metal friction.
With the added support of the opponent’s armed color domineering, he already possesses overwhelming strength and speed. If he continues to distance himself, I’m afraid his sword will be knocked down in one breath.
Facing the powerful and heavy blow.
Sakaki Ye’s actions were somewhat cautious.
Some of his moves were distorted, and he couldn’t use many of his powerful moves.
Blood splattered.
Sakaki Ye jumped back in time and avoided the fatal blow from Matsushita Nanase.
But at the same time, the tremendous force made Sakaki feel that his arms were gradually losing sensation.
Nanase Matsushita is indeed a samurai who has gradually built his reputation through his fierce fighting achievements.
At this moment, a sufficiently powerful attack force erupted.
There was a flash of knife.
Flash again.
The thrusting blade created a gust of wind, and the force contained in the sword made Sakaki Ye open his mouth slightly and let out a silent exclamation.
The strong explosive power of her lower limbs made Matsushita Nanase’s slash extremely powerful, and it was so fast that Sakaki Ye didn’t even have time to react.
Thump thump thump.
Unable to resist this huge force, Sakaki Ye staggered back several steps.
His face flushed slightly.
That feeling is a bit like the red-faced state of having a conflict or dispute with someone in later generations.
When an argument ends, the heart often beats violently and the hands shake uncontrollably.
Sakaki lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the arm that had just been chopped.
The wound was not deep, but it was not shallow either.
The blood flowing from the wound flowed down his arm and onto the ground.
The arm issue can be dealt with later.
The most urgent task is to adjust your breathing as quickly as possible.
Sakaki took several breaths in a row, adjusting his breathing which had become extremely disordered due to the severe pain caused by the injury to his left shoulder.
The cold wind blew towards me.
Sakaki Ye took a deep breath, and instead of retreating when facing the sword tip, he advanced while exerting force with his feet.
As if dancing on the edge of a knife, he spun his body rapidly.
After the attack missed, he quickly took a step back, and then with swift but elegant movements, he switched his knife stance to a mid-range stance.
The next moment, he took a quick breath and tensed the muscles in his back and body.
He quickly accumulated strength and then jumped with all his might.
He dodged the incoming sword almost by the arm, and then used the twisting centrifugal force to deliver an equally powerful blow.
Gong Er’s sword style–round dance flash!
With a twist of the wrist, the tip of the knife flips again.
It looked like the same movement as before, but when he stepped on the ground, there were no longer cracks.
This time, the land where he stepped on turned into powder.
Moreover, there was a huge noise, and it seemed that even the ground shook.
To be honest, Sakaki Ye already felt very tired.
His current physical strength is far from sufficient.
His breathing was now disordered.
I swallowed hard and could vaguely taste the faint smell of rusty blood in my throat.
In contrast, Matsushita Nanase’s breathing was still very steady, with only a little sweat on her forehead.
Even so, Sakaki Ye did not intend to give up.
When a person makes up his mind, has some realization, and his mentality changes, it can indeed transform him completely.
The moment he raised his arm, Sakaki drew his sword.
The sword was raised and struck, attacking him from the front.
This fatal downward strike was deflected.
Take a step forward before you can get your movements in order.
Another clean downward strike.
It collided heavily with the heavy blade.
They rubbed against each other, creating intense sparks.
At this moment, Sakaki Ye’s body had a clear tendency to lean backwards.
But in the next second, the abdominal muscles suddenly tightened.
The seemingly inconspicuous abdominal muscles suddenly bulged out like steel bars, and the body was pulled back just by the strength of the waist.
I immediately felt my blood flow speed up and my mind became highly active.
Between life and death, there is great terror.
Time seemed to slow down.
It’s not a breakthrough in mental power, nor is it a cheat like suddenly opening a genetic lock.
He is simply a young man who thinks he is not afraid of death but is actually not as brave as he imagines. When death is at hand, his brain tries its best to save itself, resulting in a phenomenon of high mental concentration.
The passage of time slowed down due to the intense concentration brought about by the fear of death.
Is this what they call a fight to the death where all the muscles and nerves of the body are tense?
Whether in his previous life or in this life, this was the first time that Sakaki Ye had experienced such high-frequency fierce battles.
This kind of fierce fight makes people dare not even breathe.
He was concentrating completely, his whole body tense, not daring to be careless or distracted in the slightest.
A complex emotion mixed with stubbornness, excitement, etc. surged into Sakaki Ye’s heart.
In a life-and-death fight, any small mistake could lead to irreversible consequences or even death.
You must concentrate and focus on how to defeat the enemy in front of you.
You have to rack your brains to think of a strategy to defeat the enemy.
Faced with the enemy’s endless attacks, one can only wait anxiously for the best opportunity to counterattack.
All of the above experiences were things that Sakaki Ye had never experienced before.
At this moment, Sakaki Ye only felt in his heart…
There is a strange feeling of pleasure!
He had never experienced such a satisfying feeling before, and he even felt like the blood in his body was burning!
times.
There was a friction sound from the knife tip and blood splattered everywhere.
There was also a deep wound on Sakaki Ye’s chest. The severe pain made his teeth chatter and veins bulged on his forehead.
You can imagine the pain in this.
All the color had gone from his cheeks and lips.
His body was convulsing and shaking uncontrollably, and he was sweating profusely.
The blood flowed out from the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye, dyeing most of his body blood red.
However, the opponent’s attack was also blocked.
Facing the “fierce slash” from the opponent, he took a step back.
At this moment, his steps were nimble, like a goat jumping on a cliff.
Retreat, not to give in.
Rather, it is for a better breakthrough.
In this world, some people are able to adapt quickly and evolve, while others are left hurt and miserable.
Although Sakaki Ye was traumatized, he felt extremely excited, thrilled, and his blood was boiling.
I have to say, this feeling of walking on the edge of a knife, dancing at the door of death, the pleasure of sublimating life in fear.
Fascinating.
In life, you have to be a little ruthless to live happily!
When he is not as skilled as others, he at least has the courage and will to try his best.
If you die standing, at least you can still see hope.
The sad thing is that even the will and courage are gone, and the spirit is gone.
My heart was beating fast and my adrenaline was rushing.
Sakaki Ye calmly turned sideways, leaning out his injured left shoulder, and stood in a right-lower-level sword-holding posture, confronting Matsushita Nanase motionlessly.
breathe.
One breath in and one breath out.
That kind of intense oppression and thrill that comes from between life and death, which is fascinating.
This is what a swordsman dreams of, because only at this moment can he feel that his life is sublimating.
As the saying goes, a wise man knows that a major breakthrough is often the difference between life and death.
Only by truly experiencing the collision and enlightenment that transcends life and death can the human spirit and body be further sublimated and reach another mysterious legendary realm.
There are thousands of ways to surpass yourself in this world, and the ways to the end are also different.
Just like crossing an ocean, some people choose to swim, some choose to drive a boat, and some people just fly across it in a plane.
The end result is the same, but the speed varies.
Between life and death is the shortcut to transformation.
Death is the greatest fear hidden in human instinct.
Survival is the strongest desire hidden in human instinct.
Without facing the desire for life and the fear of death, a person may never know whether what he insists on and what he expects can really override the most instinctive desires and fears of human beings.
As the saying goes, there are things we desire more than life, and there are things we hate more than death. This is a will that overrides human instincts and desires.
He licked his lips subconsciously.
Taking a deep breath, he realized that the next step would be to test his willpower.
The strange thing is that Sakaki Ye no longer felt the slightest bit of nervousness. All he had was a heart beating rapidly with excitement. He felt that he was in a very good mental state.
It has never been better!
But human power is limited, and facing repeated attacks, his body can no longer bear it.
We must force a quick victory!
Sakaki Ye raised the sword high above his right shoulder, then swung it violently to the lower left, completely ignoring how Matsushita Nanase would counterattack or defend next.
He didn’t think too much about his attack and what would happen if it missed.
In short, put all your strength, all your life’s learning, and even your life on this one strike, and chop the knife out with all your might, regardless of your own safety!
The so-called “one-stroke cut” should be a “one-stroke cut” that returns to simplicity and nature.
For example, a wooden sword can cut through steel, a flying sword can be used to cut through the sky, and mountains, rivers, and grass can all be used as swords, but it is not a simple one-stroke cut using force.
His eyes were red and the corners of his eyes were trembling constantly.
At this moment, Sakaki Ye was like a beast that was forced into a desperate situation. He was determined to die and was fighting a desperate battle with everything he had.
When there is no hope of winning, you can only try your best and use all your skills!
Even if it is disgusting, it must leave some psychological trauma on the other person!
Twenty-four Samurai’s All Out (Old Version)
As if he had already anticipated Sakaki’s counterattack, he leaned back lightly and dodged Sakaki’s knife.
Taking advantage of the momentum of her body leaning back, Matsushita Nanase quickly stepped back.
As he stepped back, he pointed the tip of the knife at Sakaki Ye.
Woo!
The tip of the knife stabbed towards Sakaki Ye in mid-air.
A series of sparks flew.
The fierce clash between the swords was accompanied by flying sparks.
A long, eerie, cold, terrifying and violent sword light was dragged out in the air, and with swift steps, it fiercely slashed at the sword that Sakaki Ye raised towards him!
Click, click, click.
The broken blade was thrown away.
The next moment, the long sword in Sakaki Ye’s hand was actually cut off by Matsushita Nanase!
The chilling wind from the knife passed by, cutting a long gash in Sakakiye’s clothes from his shoulder to his ribs.
Faintly, there were traces of blood coming out.
“hehe.”
Hehehe
Hahahahaha!
At this moment, Sakaki Ye couldn’t help but let out a low laugh in his heart and out loud.
After being chopped off by Nanase Matsushita, he fell to the ground in a mess. He shook his head, supported himself with both hands, and slowly got up from the ground.
As he stood up, Sakaki Ye grabbed a katana that happened to be next to him.
At this time and place, on this battlefield that had just experienced a large-scale bloody battle, the thing that was most abundant on the ground was the various swords scattered everywhere.
Nanase Matsushita, who was sitting opposite, raised her eyes little by little as Sakaki Ye slowly stood up.
An expression slowly appeared on Matsushita Nanase’s face, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
He… this guy, is actually laughing…?
Although Sakaki Ye’s face looked expressionless at first glance.
However, after looking closely, one can see that the corners of Sakaki’s mouth are slightly raised.
There was a faint smile in the pupils of his eyes and at the corners of his mouth.
It was a crazy smile!
Matsushita Nanase subconsciously leaned back slightly, trying to stay away from Sakaki Ye.
Because he could feel a strange aura emanating from Sakaki Ye.
madman.
This guy is crazy!
Speaking of which, Matsushita Nanase had often felt the powerful aura from some masters before.
For example, the master who taught him the power of Armament Haki.
The swordsman who once had several exchanges of moves with the now famous Lord Kozuki Oden.
However, the aura he had felt from those masters before was nothing compared to the aura emanating from Sakaki Ye at this moment.
The two are obviously completely different.
The former’s aura is that of a strong man, an aura that makes people unable to help but feel fear.
The aura revealed by the latter at this moment…gave Matsushita Nanase a feeling of powerlessness.
It is a feeling of powerlessness…of standing at the foot of a high mountain, looking up at the peaks that reach into the sky.
For some reason, this feeling of powerlessness made Matsushita Nanase feel a surge of fear in his heart.
At this moment, waves of fear appeared and gathered uncontrollably on Matsushita Nanase’s face.
However, before these expressions of fear could gather and form, a fierce light flashed across Matsushita Nanase’s eyes.
What the hell?!
What is there to be afraid of this guy!
The angry shout from the heart was like a blow to the head, stopping the look of fear that was spreading on Matsushita Nanase’s face.
Of course, it is normal for him to be shocked by Sakaki Ye’s current strength.
After all, who could have thought that Sakaki Ye’s strength had increased to the point where he could not be treated as a normal person?
Taking a deep breath, Nanase Matsushita perked up.
“Katsuragi Ichidairyu.”
“Nanase Matsushita!”
Not daring to show any contempt for Sakaki Ye, who was now emitting a strange aura, Matsushita Nanase solemnly reported her name.
Embrace your own name solemnly.
In a duel between warriors, this is a signal that they value their opponent and are willing to give it their all!
Seeing that Matsushita Nanase performed the samurai etiquette to him this time, the crazy smile on Sakaki Ye’s face became even more intense.
He quietly held the knife in front of him.
“Gong Er Ittoryu.”
“Sakaki Ye.”
The moment they both performed the salute of a warrior, they moved at the same time!
Nanase Matsushita swung his blade from bottom to top, raising layers of smoke and dust all around!
As for Sakaki Ye, he swung his sword from top to bottom, causing sword flowers to fly in the air!
The sword and the knife collided violently in mid-air.
The air waves emitted dispersed the smoke and dust around!
Although he was very excited, Sakakiye’s mind remained calm.
Different sword-fighting schools often have different styles.
Some schools are good at attacking, some are good at defending, some advocate “not killing”, and some can only be used for fitness.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the blade that was slashing towards him from top to bottom. Not willing to be outdone, the opponent quickly adjusted his stance to the lower part, with the blade facing upwards, and chopped the knife upwards from bottom to top.
The two blades collided right above Sakaki Ye’s head, creating sparks.
This guy is particularly good at using footwork to confuse his opponents, so… I have to put more pressure on this guy’s lower body and suppress his footwork…
Matsushita Nanase felt that she had figured out Sakaki Ye’s fighting method, and for a moment, she lowered her center of gravity a little lower, and at the same time, she also lowered the sword a little lower.
As Matsushita Nanase did this, he lowered the blade and the center of gravity of his body.
Moreover, after subconsciously attacking the footwork that Sakaki Ye was good at using to dodge, Sakaki Ye clearly felt that his movements were not so handy anymore.
Sakaki’s left foot had just taken half a step to the left.
Expressionless, neither dodging nor avoiding.
He raised the long sword in his hand, his muscles and bones vibrated, and a twisted and sharp sword light was once again raised!
Over there, Matsushita Nanase’s white blade was swinging rapidly, brushing the ground, as if being pulled by an invisible thread.
The air was filled with smoke and dust.
As soon as Sakaki Ye’s feet stopped, Matsushita Nanase’s slash stopped at the place where he moved away.
The blade was constantly swinging and approaching, forcing Sakaki Ye to step back his right foot half a step, preparing to slightly increase the distance between him and Matsushita Nanase.
But the opponent’s knife tip once again followed his steps and swung over.
In other words, as time goes by, Matsushita Nanase has become more and more able to adapt to Sakaki’s attack rhythm.
He had even begun to be able to keep up with Sakaki’s steps, forcing Sakaki’s movements to become awkward and distorted.
As for Sakaki Ye, he had to hold his breath, concentrate his whole body, and barely dodge or defend against the attack from Matsushita Nanase.
Such tremendous psychological pressure and mental exhaustion caused Sakaki Ye’s already limited physical strength to begin to be rapidly consumed at several times the usual rate.
“I really don’t know how to turn the tables. It looks like I’m almost done for.” After muttering this with a wry smile, Sakaki Ye suppressed the strong discomfort in his feet and forced himself to stand up from the ground again.
The next moment, Sakaki Ye’s hand was so fast that he quickly pulled out the wakizashi from his waist.
As the wakizashi was unsheathed, the blade quickly reflected the sunlight, which was enough to make people feel the dazzling cold light.
Wakizashi, also known as ?wakizashi.
Its length is generally between 30 cm and 60 cm.
This was used as a backup weapon for the samurai.
The wakizashi is usually worn on the left side of the waist together with a tachi or utachi, forming a “big and small sword” combination.
Among them, wakizashi is called “small knife”. ?
The Ittoryu technique alone was no longer enough to stop Matsushita Nanase’s intensive attack.
You can only use your left hand and flank finger to provide backup defense.
He doesn’t know how to use two swords yet, but he can hold the sword in his left hand and defend himself.
Taking a deep breath, Sakaki Ye rushed forward like a raging wave and slashed quickly.
One knife, one knife, and another knife.
Continue to launch fierce attacks on Matsushita Nanase.
His blade and Nanase Matsushita’s sword drew out two streaks of light, colliding again and again, and the sparks that kept flying out repeatedly illuminated the faces of Nanase Matsushita and Sakaki Ye.
If Sakaki Ye is allowed to continue attacking like this, he will gradually master the battle rhythm that makes him most comfortable.
In order to disrupt Sakaki Ye’s rhythm, Matsushita Nanase began to actively counterattack.
With a wrong step, his murderous intent was revealed. With a flash of the white blade, Matsushita Nanase took advantage of the gap in Sakaki’s attack and slashed diagonally towards Sakaki’s left thigh.
No matter how hard he hurried, Sakaki Ye’s steps were still a little slow, and the blade swung by Matsushita Nanase left a three or four centimeter long cut on his left leg.
Fortunately, the wound is not deep. Although it hurts, it will not have much impact on Sakaki Ye’s strength.
Getting hurt is inevitable.
Sakaki Ye has gotten used to it.
Bite the bullet.
Without even looking at his injured thigh, he adjusted his posture and breathing, and attacked Matsushita Nanase again simultaneously.
Who says that people who are not domineering are definitely no match for those who are domineering?
At least, before a person’s domineering nature becomes strong enough, it can be compensated to a certain extent through other means.
Observation Haki can predict the opponent’s actions through perception, but the prerequisite is that your body must keep up. If you can’t keep up, it will be useless.
Armament Haki.
Although it can enhance defense and attack by attachment, it can serve as an invisible armor.
It can even block some abilities, but it would be too arbitrary to say that having armament color can definitely defeat others.
Twenty-five Observation Haki (Old Version)
The sword flashed.
Sakaki Ye heard several sounds of breaking wind.
That was the sound of the blade cutting through the air.
It turned out to be Matsushita Nanase who jumped diagonally to the right, dodging a certain distance, and at the same time assumed a right upper stance, and her sword slashed towards Sakaki’s already injured left shoulder like a meteor.
His sword strike was powerful and heavy.
If it really hits.
Not to mention a sharp sword, even a direct hit from the sword would break the shoulder bone.
Sakaki Ye felt as if his back… no, to be more precise, it was as if he had eyes and ears all over his body.
Your five senses are unprecedentedly sharp.
Just use the stepping motion and step to the right.
As if he had used a ruler to make precise measurements, the distance that Sakaki Ye stepped to the right was just enough for him to dodge all the sword lights coming towards him.
As if it was calculated precisely, the distance that Sakaki Ye’s head was buried was just enough for him to dodge the fierce slash.
After dodging the slash, he stepped on the ground, bent his knees, and slashed forward.
The middle sword force attacked Matsushita Nanase’s wrist, but Matsushita Nanase retreated dangerously and deflected the sword to the side.
Matsushita Nanase’s attack did not stop. He raised his sword and held the upper position. Sakaki Ye’s figure was completely exposed within his sword circle.
Because of Nanase Matsushita’s fierce attack, Sakaki Ye was unable to adjust his disorganized center of gravity.
It was too difficult to move and dodge when his body’s center of gravity hadn’t been adjusted yet, so Sakaki Ye had no choice but to raise his sword to block.
When Matsushita Nanase showed the gesture of wanting to chop down with the sharp blade, Sakaki Ye took a deep breath, suddenly lowered the tip of the blade, and changed to the lower sword stance.
Two sharp sounds of swords swinging occurred almost simultaneously.
Sakaki Ye and Matsushita Nanase swung their swords at almost the same moment.
Nanase Matsushita’s sword, from top to bottom.
Sakakiye’s sword, from bottom to top.
The two men’s swords collided in mid-air, then passed each other.
Sakakiye’s upward slash successfully deflected Matsushita Nanase’s downward sword strike, and it did not hit Sakakiye’s body.
But, in the next moment, Matsushita Nanase once again delivered a new attack.
He strode forward and passed by Sakaki Ye. At the moment when their bodies met, their bodies seemed to be tightly pressed together. The blade in Matsushita Nanase’s hand drew a sharp light that swept across Sakaki Ye’s side.
Nanase Matsushita’s offensive is not over yet!
“I wonder how many times you can block it!”
In the fleeting moment when the two people passed each other, Matsushita Nanase used the toe of her left foot as the axis, turned her body suddenly, rotated half a circle, and then swung the sword rapidly with the momentum of the turn.
The first sword was charged by Nanase Matsushita, who swung the sword upwards from the lower right position, quickly slashing Sakaki Ye’s back, and then swung the second sword.
The second sword move was to chop the knife back along the original path.
He slashed hard from the upper left to the lower right, but was blocked by Sakaki Ye.
In just a few seconds, he chopped three times, but Sakaki Ye still failed to block one of the attacks.
Sakaki Ye turned around hastily and faced Matsushita Nanase. While being wary of Matsushita Nanase’s attack, which might not have stopped yet, he took continuous steps backwards, widening the distance between himself and Matsushita Nanase in one breath.
Now, Sakaki Ye just felt that his head was empty.
To be more precise, I feel that the chaotic thoughts in my head have almost disappeared.
Although within Sakakiye’s field of vision, there were flowers, grass, soil, sun and all kinds of messy things.
However, Sakaki Ye only felt that there were only two things left in the world before his eyes: the knife in his hand and Matsushita Nanase opposite him.
He couldn’t match Nanase Matsushita’s every blow.
Then just wander around.
Anyway, if Matsushita Nanase wanted to inflict effective damage to him, she had to first aim at his vital parts such as the head, chest, and abdomen.
In this way, as long as Sakaki Ye can aim at Nanase Matsushita’s hand and chop, the path his sword needs to travel will inevitably be much shorter than that of Nanase Matsushita who is aiming at his vitals.
As the battle between her and Sakaki Ye continued, Matsushita Nanase’s eyes were gradually filled with shock.
Sakaki Ye’s physical fatigue became more and more severe, but his spirit became calmer and calmer.
Originally, his breathing had been so rapid that he needed to open his mouth wide to breathe in air in order to barely meet his body’s current demand for oxygen.
As a result, I have gradually entered a state of extreme inner peace, as if I can feel every moving muscle in my body and the airflow caused by every breath I take.
At this moment, his mind became clear.
Not only does it become clear.
Sakaki Ye even felt that his field of vision had suddenly expanded several times.
His perspective seemed to have suddenly changed to that of a third party in the game.
From the sidelines, he watched his body standing there, swinging the sword again and again to resist the chopping blade.
“This feeling…”
????Sakaki himself also felt that this feeling was very strange.
????This was the first time he entered this state.
All the previous battles and training were unprecedented.
In this state, Sakaki seemed to be able to observe every detail of the changes in himself.
This is a state where every muscle and every bone in the body can be perfectly controlled in detail.
?The body that originally felt as if it was filled with lead now became exceptionally light.
The special power of Observation Haki.
Rather than saying it is the potential of the human body, it is better to say that it is a kind of power that is ignored by people in most cases.
????For ordinary people, they are too weak because of their physical bodies.
The observation Haki that he could possess was also extremely weak, so weak that it was almost ineffective.
???even so.
Even many ordinary people, when faced with a death crisis, when faced with the moment between life and death, will feel that time seems to become extremely short.
There are even people who, on the battlefield, can briefly but clearly see the trajectory of a bullet fired at them.
In fact, when people are on the verge of death, their spirit is strongly stimulated, causing their observation Haki to be completely aroused in an instant, resulting in the feeling that appears.
????certainly.
Ordinary people can only display their Observation Haki for a moment because of the thrill of being on the verge of life and death.
Afterwards, it is probably impossible to recapture that state.
And the temporary outburst of Observation Haki will quickly calm down.
But for people like Sakaki Ye who use swords as sharp weapons to fight, what they need to do is to observe the existence of Observation Haki under normal circumstances and master this power thoroughly!
Sakaki Ye now feels that his physical condition is very strange.
I was clearly feeling extremely tired from fighting too much just now.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he would fall into a deep sleep.
As a result, I feel very energetic now.
In addition to the spirit, the body no longer felt as heavy as before.
My hands and feet seemed to have regained their flexibility and strength.
The wounds all over my body seemed to have healed instantly and I no longer felt so painful.
His physical condition was so good that even Sakaki himself was surprised.
He tried his best not to be affected by this strange state of mind, to keep his heart calm at all times, and to observe his every move.
At this moment, he truly experienced what it was like to enter a state of selflessness.
If you were to ask Sakaki what he feels after entering this state.
So, his only feeling was that as long as he could stay in this state, he would not lose no matter what.
????It was unknown how long had passed, but under this constant mechanical repetition, Sakaki Ye suddenly observed a strange thing lingering on his body, like an air flow.
????Um?!
????Sakaki Ye s mind was suddenly shaken.
He instantly lost his completely calm state, and the strange airflow also instantly disappeared from his perception.
A hint of excitement quickly appeared in his eyes.
He did not feel depressed about having exited that state.
Because as long as you can observe it the first time, you can definitely observe it the second and third time.
That, should be the observation Haki!
????When he is fully aware of the existence of Observation Haki, he will be not far from controlling and using this power!
This didn’t hit him either… Matsushita Nanase gritted her teeth and made the blade, which had been deflected by Sakaki’s defense, spin half a circle in the air.
Then, it drew an arc.
And from a very tricky angle, it swept towards Sakaki Ye’s chest fiercely.
In this attack, Matsushita Nanase also used all his strength.
There is a tremendous amount of force interwoven on the blade.
Like a cirrus cloud and a strong wind, it stirred up the air flow in the air, making a humming sound.
Sakaki Ye’s body tilted sideways, allowing Matsushita Nanase’s blade to pass through the air beside him again.
This guy was able to make such remarkable progress in battle in such a short time!
Matsushita Nanase found it difficult to face this fact, and her eyes widened like bells.
He couldn’t believe it…
He actually knew that there were super geniuses in this world who were gifted and could make rapid progress while fighting with the enemy.
But he couldn’t believe that the guy he was chasing was actually this kind of dragon among men…
The violent fluctuations in emotions gradually cast a layer of impetuous color on Matsushita Nanase’s actions.
In the blink of an eye, Matsushita Nanase had already appeared in front of Sakaki Ye.
He swung the blade in his hand horizontally quickly, and slashed at Sakaki’s neck with the momentum as if he wanted to decapitate Sakaki.
The blade of Matsushita Nanase suddenly stopped when it was only two or three fingers away from Sakaki Ye’s neck.
The back of Sakaki Ye’s sword moved to the defensive position in time and blocked Matsushita Nanase’s sword.
When Matsushita Nanase’s blade had already reached Sakaki Ye, the wind created by his sprint blew on Sakaki Ye’s face.
The blades of their swords were once again crossed, neither of them giving in.
He gritted his teeth and launched a frantic attack on Sakaki Ye. Each of his attacks contained a fierce murderous intent of “Go to hell”.
In fact, Matsushita Nanase shouldn’t have swung the knife with such emotion.
Swinging the sword with emotion… will only give his opponent an opportunity to take advantage!
I saw Matsushita Nanase step forward and chop directly at Sakaki Ye’s neck.
The knife was swung with anxiety… the angle was a little crooked!
Seeing this golden opportunity, Sakaki Ye’s eyes lit up and he suddenly raised the blade in his hand from bottom to top.
The knife is also sharp and unstoppable!
This swift blow broke the knife that was slashing down from above at an angle, and then the remaining force continued to slash straight towards Nanase Matsushita’s face!
Matsushita Nanase’s pupils suddenly shrank and she quickly turned her head to the side.
Puff
The sound of tiny pieces of flesh being cut was heard.
As if being bounced away, the two of them quickly staggered apart.
Tick-tock, tick-tock
A few drops of blood slid down Matsushita Nanase’s cheek and onto her chin.
Then, it dripped from the chin to the ground.
Matsushita Nanase dodged in time and successfully avoided Sakaki’s fatal blow.
The opponent’s blade only grazed his forehead, leaving a small wound two or three centimeters long.
He didn’t suffer any serious injuries…but the expression that Matsushita Nanase revealed at this moment was as if he had been beheaded.
He stared at Sakaki Ye with his eyes wide open.
His expression was a little dazed at first, and then the daze quickly turned into anger, hatred and… a hint of fear.
Then, everything broke out.
Watch me kill you in one breath!
Sakaki Ye clearly saw this implication in Matsushita Nanase’s expression.
After taking the powerful downward blow from Nanase Matsushita, Sakaki Ye still felt waves of pain in his shoulder that made his entire arm feel numb.
After landing, Sakaki Ye flipped sideways again.
He supported himself on the ground with his palms, exerted force suddenly, and managed to stand up.
But even so.
The huge impact force still caused Sakaki Ye to stagger violently.
“Cough cough…Puff.” He started coughing violently and large amounts of blood gushed out of his mouth.
Twenty-six Armament Haki VS Observation Haki (Old Version)
Hoo Hoo
Under the violent attack of Nanase Matsushita, Sakaki Ye suffered more and more wounds, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
He entered a mysterious realm.
To use the words from fantasy novels I read in my previous life, it is the state of enlightenment before breaking through.
In Matsushita Nanase’s perception, Sakaki Ye’s aura did not become stronger, but it became clearer.
Matsushita Nanase’s speed was still too fast to be seen clearly, but the trajectory of her attack became clearer and clearer.
To be honest, Sakaki couldn’t count how many wounds he had on his body.
He only knew that his body was heavy now.
My hands and feet feel heavy, my eyelids feel heavy, and my head feels heavy.
As his head felt heavy, he also felt dizzy.
Sakaki felt his vision go dark and thought it was because something got into his eye.
However, no matter how he rubbed, his vision could not return to normal, instead it became darker and darker.
It was only then that Sakaki realized that it wasn’t because something was stuck in his eyes, it was simply because he was about to reach his limit…
However, even so, he still fought.
The shaky body still stands.
“…” Looking at Sakaki Ye on the opposite side, whose shoulders and chest had begun to rise and fall violently due to physical exhaustion, but who was still stubbornly staring at him with a fiery gaze, Matsushita Nanase’s gaze was fixed.
He was really getting more and more confused.
The guy opposite
“Even though you were completely defenseless after being beaten by me, you don’t seem to be that depressed at all.” Nanase Matsushita asked the question in her mind.
What good does being depressed do?
Sakaki Ye said casually.
He pursed his lips.
While using words to delay time, he also took advantage of the time to constantly feel the feeling of the suspected Observation Haki that had just appeared.
The physical sensation that just appeared made Sakaki Ye suddenly realize that a turning point in the battle might have appeared.
My life doesn’t have to be thrown away here.
If nothing unexpected happens, this might be his only hope for a comeback.
He must seize the opportunity, adjust himself as quickly as possible, try to master this power before he is completely out of strength, and then make a comeback.
High-end hunters often appear as prey.
Sakaki Ye was covered in blood, but he became more and more courageous as the battle went on.
The flashes of swords and sabers flashed across the void.
In front of Sakaki Ye’s eyes, there seemed to be an illusory door, looming.
Still closed.
However, this door does exist and is not just an illusion.
Nameless omens have already gathered in my heart.
He could clearly feel that as long as he raised his hand, he could touch the door.
The door is waiting for the latecomer to push it open.
He can master this power!
Sakaki Ye’s eyes turned a little pale.
A huge amount of information continued to emerge in Sakaki Ye’s mind.
His spirit, however, floated and dispersed unconsciously.
It seems that at this moment, it has penetrated deep into the soul and touched the things hidden in the deepest part of the soul.
Miracles seem to be emerging restlessly.
Use the power of breathing rhythm to break the destiny.
In the midst of despair, the most dazzling light bursts out!
Plant a seed, and then continue to work hard to nurture it and take care of it.
The seeds gradually sprouted, broke through the soil, grew branches and leaves, and then one day grew flower buds.
However, it never bloomed.
Until now, the storm is coming.
The stubborn flower bud raised its head.
My nerves, which had been tense ever since I was forced to flee, finally reached their limit.
It seemed as if a string in the mind was finally broken under tension, or as if a thin membrane hidden in the soul was violently punctured.
There were no signs.
Suddenly, a huge amount of information that was difficult to sort out emerged in Sakaki Ye’s mind!
Countless familiar yet unfamiliar scenes appeared before his eyes one after another.
That’s the view of dense forest all around!
At this moment, a 360-degree viewing angle without blind spots appeared in Sakaki Ye’s mind.
Those seemed to be his perceptions, but they were not effectively controlled for the moment, so they gathered towards him from many angles and directions.
As the scene changed, chaotic, overlapping, and indistinguishable sounds rang in his ears.
“Uh uh uh…” A soft moan of pain came from Sakaki Ye’s mouth.
These noisy voices gathered together to form a deafening sound, the roar echoed repeatedly in his mind, bringing great pain.
It was huge and messy, and like a clip from a movie, it all poured out at this moment and churned in his mind.
It seemed as if it was going to make his head explode!
The floating feeling is getting stronger. I want to stay, but I move away faster.
The feeling of stalling and weightlessness gradually came, and a lot of noises appeared in my ears.
It sounded like the roar of a moving train, and also like the sound of countless people chasing and shouting.
The huge amount of chaotic data gradually exceeded the upper limit of the consciousness’s ability to analyze. The pitch-black darkness in Sakaki’s perception gradually turned into pure light that covered everything.
Light, pure and blazing light.
It came from chaos and permeated his body.
This guy.
The look in Matsushita Nanase’s eyes when she looked at Sakaki Ye became more and more confused.
“call…”
This process takes a very short time, perhaps only a few seconds.
Sakaki Ye’s spirit has gradually recovered.
A tingling and numb feeling quickly spread throughout the body.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that the world seemed no different from before, but also seemed a little different.
He couldn’t figure out what was going on.
However, the condition is unusually good.
Full of energy.
For the first time in his two lifetimes, he found that he could control his movements so precisely, and his thoughts were so pure and focused.
Don’t let your imagination run wild.
Once you decide to focus on one thing, you can do it without distraction.
And if you work a little harder, you can multitask and still maintain sufficient focus.
Then, gather your will into the body.
Feel the invisible fluctuations hidden in every part of your body, identify and recognize their true effects, and what a powerful force can be unleashed!
Sakaki’s eyes fixed, and there seemed to be a stream of light spreading in his bright pupils.
An excellent swordsman does not depend on how strong his body is, how fast he is, or how good his swordsmanship is, but on how much control he has over his body!
As long as you can, you must learn to control your body and use every muscle to complete the movements you want to do.
Even if one is unable to react smoothly, one can still unleash considerable power.
At the critical moment, Sakaki Ye finally awakened his observation Haki.
Put yourself in a desperate situation and then you can survive.
This is not just some lucky accident.
But it was the feedback he had earned at the cost of his life.
The more benefits you get, the more price you have to pay. In the adult world, there is no such thing as getting something for nothing, only equal exchange.
Maybe there is an element of luck, but luck only favors those who work hard.
Or it may end in a bleak and bloody ending.
Or evolve and become stronger, becoming a grassroots hero.
Until there is a real solution to this problem, Sakaki Ye will have to fight and struggle desperately like a poisonous insect.
Fortunately, he won the bet.
And finally, under the stimulation of external pressure, he successfully activated the power of Observation Haki.
The bigger your heart is, the bigger the world you can explore will be. What doesn t destroy me will make me stronger.
Sakaki grinned and struggled out of the situation between life and death. As long as it made him stronger, there was nothing he could not endure.
As we all know, domineering power may be rarer outside the New World.
However, in this most brutal sea area of ??the New World, basically anyone who dares to survive on the sea has some knowledge.
Even the navy minions in the New World can be said to be “armed”.
There is indeed a certain “talent threshold” for Armament Haki and Observation Haki, but this threshold is not high.
The former great pirate Rocks believed that even a person with ordinary talents could break through his own shackles and catch up with the so-called “talented players” in these two aspects of domineering through hard practice day after day.
This is what he believes is “70% depends on hard work”.
His original words were, “Arrogance is like the sea, giving everyone the most equitable power. No matter if you are a gifted person or an ordinary person, if you want to reach the top of this road, you need to pay persistent patience and concentration. The starting point of this road may be high or low, but everyone can reach the end!”
Now, Sakaki Ye has also mastered the power of Observation Haki.
So, now it s armament Haki VS observation Haki!
As soon as Matsushita Nanase launched the attack, Sakaki Ye could subconsciously know where to land.
Although his body was becoming heavier, he only needed to make very small movements to avoid it.
It was as if he was looking at a prey that had walked into a trap, his teeth were white and cold.
Next, he would chew up this tough opponent, Nanase Matsushita, completely, including bones and skin, and swallow it into his stomach.
Twenty-seven Reverse Slash (Old Version)
The two men looked at each other.
It was as if two wild beasts were testing each other’s eyes before deciding on the final fight and attack.
Attack and connect quickly.
The battle entered its final intense stage.
After activating his Observation Haki, Sakaki Ye’s counterattacks became more and more frequent.
In comparison, Matsushita Nanase, who had previously relied on the power of armed color domineering and was extremely tough, now seemed a little restrained.
If he is not careful, Sakaki Ye might disrupt his attack rhythm.
Sakaki Ye’s seemingly casual sword strike was able to just happen to disrupt the prelude to Matsushita Nanase’s next attack.
As time passed, Nanase Matsushita felt more and more depressed.
I have strength, but I don’t know where to use it.
And the more upset he was, the more opportunities he gave Sakaki Ye.
After all, once your mentality goes wrong, it will affect your performance.
In the worst case, it may even cause deformation of movements.
Matsushita Nanase’s moves became more and more messy as his moves changed.
Sakaki’s eyes were fixed on the incoming blade.
With his mind highly concentrated, he felt the whole world slow down.
The opponent’s blade’s movement speed slowed down.
Develop a sense of confidence that you can intercept it halfway.
Thinking of this, he really did it.
Keep your arms tense.
Raise it vertically at the abdomen, and swing the shield-like blade out.
Blocked in front of himself.
Although it seems as if he had anticipated the opponent’s actions, on the other hand, it can be confirmed that Matsushita Nanase’s moves are a bit old-fashioned and it is not easy to change them, which is what is often said that his hands cannot keep up with his brain.
On the other hand, Sakaki Ye was also trying to test the other party’s current strength.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to launch a final counterattack after confirmation.
There was a dull thud and he took two steps back, but he did block the opponent’s attack.
There was still a warm smile on Sakaki Ye’s face.
“Your strength has weakened.”
But his voice was like the whisper of a devil, sending chills down one’s spine.
“Then it’s my turn.”
He showed his snow-white teeth and licked his bright red lips, looking very cold and murderous.
“So what, Sakaki Ye, stop struggling! Just go to death!” Matsushita Nanase was also unwilling to lose her power, and her roar revealed madness, as if she wanted to turn the world upside down.
Let s make some noise!
The two kept fighting, and at the beginning it was back and forth, which was very exciting to watch.
But these are all desperate fighting styles that involve exchanging injuries for injuries, and cannot last long.
Sakaki Ye took a deep breath, seized the opportunity, and flew towards Matsushita Nanase.
The raised blade has the power to smash and sweep away everything.
Whether it is the interlacing of footwork, or the slashing, straight stabbing or horizontal cutting of the sword.
Sakaki Ye’s speed is getting faster and faster.
Even the previous move has not been used yet.
The next move has already followed.
If at the beginning, there were traces of Sakaki Ye’s swordsmanship in each move, then now it is as natural as an antelope hanging its horns.
There were deep wounds on Nanase Matsushita’s arms, thighs, and chest.
Amidst the blood, you could almost see the white bones.
Sakaki was also panting.
All the time, I force myself to exert all my energy and mobilize every potential of my body and brain.
In the brief gap of time, I saw the other person open his mouth, revealing his white teeth covered with bloodshot, which looked like a happy smile, but also like a ferocious smile.
For ordinary people, after their bodies have been abused, beaten, and continuously overloaded, their bodies’ subconscious instincts will produce various thoughts of slacking off and stopping.
Although Sakaki Ye’s brain consciousness could receive the negative feedback from the body at this time, he was still able to ignore the warning signals and move forward firmly as if operating a machine.
“One Sword Style – Reverse Wheel Slash!”
Sakaki swung his arm in a circle and slashed with his sword.
Under normal circumstances, the smaller a person’s movement range is, the faster his reaction ability will tend to be.
For most people, the reaction time for a slight action like moving the index finger is only between 0.2 and 0.3 seconds.
Large movements require longer reaction time.
Normally, if you want to shorten your reaction time, you need a lot of training.
You need to make your body and muscles remember the movements, which in itself requires a process and time accumulation.
This is why so many athletes have to train intensively every day.
Sakaki Ye is not a masochist from a hot-blooded comic book.
Shen Ye did not have the middle school mentality of “the stronger the opponent, the more interesting I find it” and “take advantage of the opportunity to reap the rewards”.
He finally had a chance to turn the tables, so how could he not seize it!
Ultimate Iai, Ittoryu!
A breaking sound was heard.
The cold light was shining, and the air along the way was compressed madly.
Then it was torn into two!
The knife was like a waterfall flowing in the opposite direction, sweeping towards Matsushita Nanase from bottom to top.
Nanase Matsushita reacted instinctively without even adjusting her body posture.
Subconsciously, he used the knife in his hand to block the sword light coming from bottom to top.
Although Matsushita Nanase managed to block Sakaki Ye’s sword.
But his knife broke.
Because Sakaki’s attack came too fast, Matsushita Nanase could only use her sword to block it, and had no time to adjust to the best defensive posture and direction.
So, it appeared.
In a hurry, Matsushita Nanase only had time to use the blade of the sword to block Sakaki Ye’s attack.
The blade is the most vulnerable part of the knife.
Once the blade is attacked, the knife will break very easily.
Matsushita Nanase only had time to block with the blade of her sword, and although she successfully blocked Sakaki’s attack, the sword in her hand also broke.
Only about half of the blade remained.
At this moment, Sakaki Ye was like a ferocious lone wolf.
Once you find a flaw, bite the enemy’s throat and never let go. A chill ran down Nanase Matsushita’s spine all the way to her neck.
He took a step back and looked around with a look of doubt, as if someone was going to hurt him.
But at this time, the other party was still several meters away from him.
His pupils couldn’t help but shrink slightly because of surprise.
Nanase Matsushita did not expect that Sakaki Ye’s movements could be so fast.
A new slash came rushing in.
One-sword style – cut off the dragon’s tail.
Cut off the dragon’s tail.
It is the horizontal slashing technique in Gong Er’s sword style.
Sakaki Ye’s sword is like the tail of a giant dragon flying through the wind.
From left to right, he swept towards the opponent’s belly with incredible speed.
It’s like falling directly from the bleak autumn into the deep winter swallowed by the cold current.
Nanase Matsushita can guarantee that she did not blink or let her guard down just now.
I have been staring at it with my nerves tense.
However, even so, his eyes could not keep up with the opponent’s speed.
Although the attack was blocked, Sakaki Ye did not become discouraged or frustrated, nor did he stop or take a breath.
Instead, he immediately launched a second attack.
Whoosh!
Sakaki Ye turned the direction of the sword that was raised from bottom to top.
From the original posture of the blade rushing up, it suddenly changed to the posture of the blade rushing down.
Then.
Gong Er Ittoryu-Waterfall!
The waterfall that was originally flowing upstream has turned into a waterfall flowing upstream!
no!
It s too late!
Looking at the blade coming towards his head, Matsushita Nanase’s only conclusion was that he had no time to raise the blade to block it.
Driven by a strong desire to survive, Matsushita Nanase gritted her teeth.
He raised his left hand and grabbed Sakaki Ye’s knife with his left palm!
The sound of the blade entering flesh was heard.
Sakaki’s blade cut straight into Matsushita Nanase’s left palm, and then in one breath, it chopped off Matsushita Nanase’s left armpit. The power carried by Sakaki’s blade was finally completely offset.
Matsushita Nanase barely blocked Sakaki Ye’s downward attack at the cost of having her entire left arm cut in half.
The blade cuts from the left palm all the way to the armpit.
Matsushita Nanase’s entire arm was cut into two halves by Sakaki Ye’s single blow.
You can imagine how painful this is.
Nanase Matsushita almost fainted from the pain.
He bit the tip of his tongue so hard with his teeth that he almost bit it off.
Nanase Matsushita finally managed to stay awake.
However, he didn’t even have time to scream.
Because, Sakaki Ye’s third attack is coming!
After her left arm was almost cut in half by Sakaki Ye’s sword, Matsushita Nanase felt dizzy due to the severe pain.
He could only raise the half-broken katana in his right hand by feeling.
Maybe it was really good luck. Matsushita Nanase was just randomly raising the knife based on her feeling and successfully blocked Sakaki Ye’s fall.
However, his defense only delayed the time of his death slightly.
Because his left arm was cut in half, Matsushita Nanase could only use his remaining right arm to block Sakaki Ye’s attack.
However, even though Matsushita Nanase has both arms intact, he is only able to compete with Sakaki Ye, who also has two arms and has activated his Observation Haki.
With only one arm left, there was no reason why he could block Sakaki Ye’s downward attack.
He could no longer withstand Sakaki Ye’s full-strength strength.
Moreover, the constant severe pain from the broken left arm made it difficult for Matsushita Nanase to concentrate, and he was unable to exert the full strength that he should have exerted.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly turned around.
The broken sword of Nanase Matsushita that blocked Sakaki Ye’s attack sank little by little…
Sakaki Ye clenched his teeth and transferred all his strength to his right arm, pressing down on Nanase Matsushita’s knife, and pushing it towards Nanase Matsushita’s neck little by little.
Looking at Sakaki Ye’s blade getting closer and closer to her neck, Matsushita Nanase couldn’t help but speak anxiously.
“Ahhhh, Sakaki Ye, you better think carefully! You know that if you kill me… the Daimyo won’t let you go.”
In response to Nanase Matsushita’s advice, there was no fluctuation in the expression on Sakaki Ye’s face, and he remained calm.
“My future is none of your business.”
After saying that, Sakaki Ye continued to press down, silently increasing the strength of his hands.
Nanase Matsushita can hardly hold on any longer.
Sakaki Ye’s sword has completely suppressed Matsushita Nanase’s sword.
Unable to withstand Sakaki Ye’s strength any longer, Matsushita Nanase was forced to kneel on one knee.
The sharp blade had already cut into the flesh of Matsushita Nanase’s neck.
Drops of blood began to flow out of the wound.
The anxiety on Matsushita Nanase’s face became even more intense.
“You really have to think it through!”
“Even a great swordsman like Kozuki Oden-sama can’t easily attack a local daimyo.”
“It’s easy for them to wipe out a little warrior like you!”
“You can fight against dozens of us chasing you alone, can you fight against hundreds or thousands of people alone?”
Nanase Matsushita was breathing rapidly.
“Not only you, I will also cut off the head of that cruel daimyo to sacrifice to the souls of those who died unjustly.” Sakaki Ye said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Matsushita Nanase looked at Sakaki Ye with horror.
“Are you crazy…”
“Perhaps.”
Sakaki Ye’s blade had already cut deeply into Matsushita Nanase’s neck.
More and more blood was flowing out of the wound.
Nanase Matsushita has already felt it.
Feeling the deadly chill.
If Sakaki’s blade had cut a little deeper, he would have been dead.
Wait, wait!
At this time, Matsushita Nanase’s tone had become almost pleading.
“Sakaki! I…I, I understand!”
“Calm down for a moment!”
“I think we still have a chance to talk slowly! We still have a chance to talk slowly!”
“How about you put the knife down first?!”
“Sakaki Ye! I, I, I, I give up! I give up! I have already given up! I will never draw my sword against you again.”
“Please calm down, calm down for a moment! Wait wait wait a minute, ahhhh!”
Sakaki Ye’s blade mercilessly cut into the left side of Matsushita Nanase’s neck.
Until the very end, Sakaki Ye ignored Matsushita Nanase’s pleas for mercy.
Twenty-eight Weakness and ignorance have never been an obstacle to survival (old version)
A large amount of sticky blood spurted out.
Sakaki Ye pulled out the sharp blade from Matsushita Nanase’s neck.
Matsushita Nanase had completely stopped breathing, but her cloudy eyes were wide open, still filled with strong disbelief.
He couldn’t believe it until his death.
After being so powerful for more than ten years, I actually died like this.
He died under the sword of Sakaki Ye, which he thought he had in his hands.
Unfortunately, when people are killed, they die.
He was indeed completely offline.
Never get up again.
Looking at Nanase Matsushita’s face, Sakaki Ye murmured softly, “…It’s really ugly, the high and mighty samurai-sama.”
Especially when Sakakiye said the word “Samurai-sama”, he emphasized the tone.
“So… even an invincible swordsman would be so scared that he would beg for mercy when facing death?”
Sakaki Ye curled his lips.
He picked up a piece of rag and clamped the blade of the katana in his right hand with it. He used the rag to wipe off the blood, fat and other substances on the blade.
At the same time, he was also secretly dissatisfied.
However, Sakaki’s heart kept beating.
Not fear, but excitement.
At the end of the decisive battle, it is often just a matter of life and death.
And after that, the feeling of anticipation and eagerness to try surged into my heart like a tide.
Such as fear and dread.
There were also some trembling, excitement, and even complex feelings such as relief, melancholy, and happiness, which all surged up at once.
Instead, it made his expression dull.
After a while, he took a deep breath and clenched his teeth.
I did it.
Glancing at Nanase Matsushita’s body.
Sakaki Ye felt emotional.
Weakness and ignorance have never been obstacles to survival.
Arrogance, that’s it!
This feeling made him almost unable to hold back from laughing out loud.
While trying hard to hold back his laughter, Sakaki Ye let out a low chuckle, which sounded a bit like the villain in the movie planning some conspiracy.
hiss!
Halfway through his laugh, he slightly curled his lips.
At this moment, he felt severe pain all over his body.
After the battle, injuries and fatigue mixed together and turned into a torrent, impacting Sakaki Ye’s body.
His body was in so much pain that he could hardly keep holding the sword.
Sakaki was trembling all over.
I just felt like every muscle was melting and shaping.
It seemed as if every vein was being torn apart and reorganized.
Sakaki opened his mouth slightly.
This is just a result of muscle spasm.
But with his observation Haki as his foundation, he was still able to control the last bone in his body, the larynx.
From beginning to end, Sakaki Ye did not shout out.
A swordsman lives for the sword and dies for the sword.
Only those who are mentally strong and fearless of danger can be called swordsmen.
After the fierce battle, Sakaki Ye could barely be considered a qualified swordsman.
He had endured enough pain.
A tingling sensation flowed through my body like an electric current.
Then this feeling became more and more exciting.
Finally, it turned into pain.
It feels like thousands of needles are piercing every corner of the body.
Fortunately, he won.
In the previous battle, Sakaki Ye’s clothes were soaked with sweat and blood, and his hair was disheveled, hanging weakly on his forehead, looking a little embarrassed.
However, the calmness in his eyes now contains countless unknown emotions.
He had never been so embarrassed in his life.
He had never been so powerful in his life.
The morning sun gradually rises in the distance, and the sunlight pours down on the earth.
This seemingly beautiful weather makes people feel happy.
Sakaki clenched his fists.
His life was finally in his own hands and he could give it a try instead of letting others control him.
This battle is over.
The death of Nanase Matsushita completely put an end to the continuation of the battle.
The swordsmen and hangers-on who had originally gathered together and were planning to continue the resistance, also scattered like birds and beasts.
Before, it was the strength of Matsushita Nanase that gave them the confidence to turn the tide of the battle!
And now… with the death of Matsushita Nanase, their last bit of fighting spirit and morale have completely vanished.
Regardless of whether they were swordsmen or hangers-on, the pursuers who remained on the battlefield began to flee in panic.
A true defeat.
Almost no one dared to stay and continue fighting.
They rushed forward, running like headless flies.
Sakaki Ye did not chase after them.
After such a long and hard fight, his physical strength was almost exhausted.
Even if he activated his Observation Haki, it would be impossible for him to recover his strength.
Not to the point of using such a big cheat.
Huff, huff huff huff
Sakaki Ye looked around, his eyes sweeping over the body of Matsushita Nanase at his feet and the surrounding enemies that had all retreated.
“It seems that it is completely over… ahem…”
Suddenly, a sour and tingling sensation came from deep within Sakaki’s eyeballs.
The sudden sore and numb feeling made Sakaki Ye subconsciously let out a low cry of pain.
Then he raised his hands to cover his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Sakaki found that his normal vision had returned.
I can no longer “overlook” this land.
I can no longer see those strange “air currents”.
Now, the effect of his Observation Haki no longer persists.
It was as if a light that could see through everything gradually dissipated from my pupils. I only felt sore muscles all over my body and felt extremely exhausted. I wished I could go home and have a good sleep immediately.
However, Sakaki Ye did not dare to relax.
There are still faint shouts and screams in the distance!
Um?
All the thoughts in Sakaki Ye’s mind were gone.
All his fatigue seemed to be completely frozen at this moment.
After a while, he let out a long breath.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his backhand.
Exhale. Inhale.
Then exhale and inhale.
With every breath, the air flows quickly through the nasal cavity and trachea to reach the lung lobes, bringing a comfortable friction feeling.
At this moment, the blood vessels expand and contract with your breathing.
Fresh blood with oxygen first supplies the internal organs with nutrients for their activities.
Then, it carries the remaining oxygen and nutrients supplied by the internal organs and quickly circulates throughout the body, giving slight stimulation to the muscles, skin, and bones.
Finally, exhale through the mouth and nose along with the waste gas, creating a feeling as if the body is being cleansed from the inside out.
Sakaki could so clearly feel the beating of his heart, the breathing of his lungs, the emptiness of his stomach, the unconscious peristalsis of his intestines, and the circulation of blood throughout his body.
The feeling is so strong.
It’s even like building a model of the body in the consciousness.
This model changes from blurry to clear, corresponding to every change of the flesh and blood body.
Synchronized breathing, synchronized heartbeat, synchronized blood vessel dilation.
Then, under the intentional or unintentional guidance of Sakaki Ye, the virtual body model and the real body became one.
Twenty-nine Sir, are you willing to be the executioner? (Old version)
“Oh…”
Sakaki exhaled slowly.
Let all your feelings settle down and calm yourself down quickly.
Raise your head quickly.
His sharp eyes swept towards the dense forest next to him.
“Why is it never ending?” Sakaki Ye put his hand back on the hilt of the knife.
Two warriors with swords walked out from the dense forest.
Both of these guys were wearing full sets of black hats and cloaks.
It also looks very imposing.
Sakaki’s eyes narrowed, and a depressing aura permeated around his body.
“As expected of a swordsman who can fight many enemies alone, you are indeed very perceptive.”
“Don’t misunderstand me, sir. We are not the subordinates of that cruel daimyo.”
“We are here to wait for an opportunity. If you are really no match for Matsushita Nanase, we will also help you.” The two looked at Sakaki Ye and bowed.
Having witnessed the entire fighting process of Sakaki Ye with their own eyes, these two warriors also gave Sakaki Ye considerable respect.
For a warrior, strength is the ultimate measure.
Especially in Wano Country, powerful swordsmen are the ones who deserve the most respect.
This is also why Kozuki Oden was able to single-handedly fight his way into the chaotic Kuri a few years ago.
He cut the Gordian knot and became one of the most powerful samurai in Wano Country, and began his heroic journey.
He subdued Kin’emon and Denjiro, two hooligans who used to hang out on the streets.
Defeated the water monster “Kappa” that was causing trouble in the river.
He subdued the random people who ruled the mountains, and finally defeated the gang leader of Jiuli, “Asura Boy”.
He transformed the entire Jiuli into a peaceful place and was therefore awarded the title of “Jiuli Daming”.
From then on, his name spread throughout the country of Wano.
To raise the reputation of the Kozuki family again.
It has attracted countless people to follow and admire it.
Because Kozuki Oden proved himself to be powerful.
It is precisely because of his strength that he is obeyed by countless warriors from the bottom of their hearts.
People with ability will eventually win the respect of others.
Those who remain undaunted in desperate situations are the ones who unleash their potential.
After all, there is only one in a million.
It s like, for most people, the potential that is temporarily stimulated often results in a moment of inspiration.
But it s hard to keep holding on to it.
People like Sakaki Ye, who can decisively grasp their potential the moment it is stimulated, are definitely rare true geniuses.
Treat the strong as you would treat genius.
Of course, we also need to have a different attitude.
“Really? I wonder who sent you to find me? And how did you know me?”
“We are here on the orders of the family elder to monitor your actions.”
“Patriarch?” Sakaki Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.
If we were to say, who is the top leader in the Himalayan region nowadays.
There is no doubt that it is the ruler here, Daimyo Sato Yasuto.
Even if you go out on the street and ask a hundred people, they will definitely give the same answer.
But if you ask a hundred people on the street who is the second-in-command in the Hime region, they will definitely give the same answer: the second-in-command is the family elder – Kurasaemon.
A wise old man.
The current Hime region is faced with a monarch like Sato Yasuto who is indifferent to state affairs and extremely cruel.
Logically speaking, the breakdown of order should have occurred long ago, with countless people rioting and even revolting.
Results, so far.
Here, the overall stability is still maintained and there is no major unrest.
The reason for this is all due to the 56-year-old Kurasaemon family elder.
This “ordinary person” was not mentioned at all in the original book.
With his own strength, he managed to barely maintain stability in the Hime region, which was in turmoil due to Sato Yasuto’s rampages.
Sakaki Ye was also a little curious about this man.
Therefore, Sakaki did not refuse Kurasaemon’s invitation.
After thinking about it, he nodded and said this to the two of them in a tone that was neither salty nor bland.
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes. Sakaki-kun, please come with us.”
The two young warriors led Sakaki Ye through a shortcut into the city.
Turn left and right at the castle town.
Finally, they stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.
Looking at the wide gate in front of him, Sakaki paused for a moment and asked the two people in front of him, “So, do you want me to hand in my sword?”
“Need not.”
“I see…”
As Sakaki Ye spoke, he slowly pulled out the katana hanging from his waist.
Then, switch to using your right hand, and gently hold the sword and sheath together.
One of the two young warriors took two steps forward.
After whispering a few words to the two servants who were guarding the gate, the two servants pushed open the wide door of the house.
“Sakaki-kun, please.”
“Yes.” After nodding to the two young warriors, Sakaki Ye slowly walked into the patriarch’s mansion under the guidance of the two men.
After Sakaki Ye and others entered the patriarch’s mansion, the two servants who were guarding the door closed it again.
The door slowly closed, soon isolating the mansion from the outside world again.
“Sakaki Ye…” he murmured.
When Sakakiye stepped inside, the family elder Kurasaemon’s eyes immediately fell on him.
In fact, Kurasaemon had also heard of the name Sakaki Ye.
According to the rumors Kurasaemon had heard before, this Sakaki Ye seemed to be a genius swordsman that was rarely seen in the Miyaji Sword Hall in ten years.
Kurasaemon has always scoffed at such rumors.
Kurasaemon, who has seen a lot of the world, knows one thing very well, that is, the martial arts of the samurai here in Shimei are not that outstanding compared to real monsters.
Sakaki Ye, who was praised by Miyaji Sword Hall and was known for his superb martial arts skills, would probably be just an ordinary person in Wano Country.
Sakaki Ye was praised as the genius of Gong Erjianguan, who appeared once in ten years.
In Kurasaemon’s eyes, it was like a group of monkeys who, without ever seeing a tiger, called the strongest monkey in their group the most powerful existence in the forest.
Therefore, Kurasaemon did not agree with the rumor that “Sakaki Ye is a kendo genius” at all.
Until… he learned that the dozens of swordsmen and hangers-on sent by Sato Jingyuan were unable to capture Sakaki Ye in a whole day and night.
He dispatched his ninjas to investigate the situation.
Thus, Sakaki Ye caught his eye.
And, naturally, it became his goal.
“Sakaki Ye-kun, first of all I have to apologize to you.” Kurasaemon apologized slowly.
“I also know that you just went through a fierce battle and are exhausted both physically and mentally. You should have taken the time to rest, but you still bothered me to come here.”
“Master, you don’t need to apologize.” Sakaki shook his head.
“If you have something important to tell me, please go ahead. I’m all ears.” Sakaki Ye said slowly.
Kurasaemon stood up and straightened his clothes.
“Then I won’t waste time and will get straight to the point.”
Kurasaemon suddenly raised his eyes.
With an extremely serious look, he looked directly into Sakaki’s eyes.
” Sakaki Ye-kun, are you willing to be the executioner?”
“…” After the room was immersed in the eerie silence for a long time, Sakaki Ye’s belated “ah” finally broke the silence.
“……Ah?” Sakaki Ye subconsciously widened his eyes and looked at the family elder Kurasaemon with a surprised look, who still had a serious face.
Kurasaemon’s face was stern and serious, as if declaring that what he just said was not a bad joke.
He is quite serious.
Executioner.
This word seemed a little unfamiliar to Sakaki Ye.
However, he also understood the meaning of this word.
“Executioner…are you asking me to kill someone?” Sakaki murmured to himself.
“That’s right.” Kurasaemon on the opposite side nodded.
“Uh, who do you want me to kill?”
“Sato Yasuto!”
” ah?”
This was the second sound uttered by Sakaki Ye, containing complex emotions mainly of astonishment and shock.
As someone who has a blood feud with Sato Yasuto, of course he knows who he is.
However, at this moment, Sakaki Ye was wondering if he had heard it wrong.
Elder, you just said who do you want me to kill? Sakaki thought for a moment and repeated the question in an incredulous tone.
And Kurasaemon repeated his previous answer: “Sato Yasuto.”
It seemed as if he was trying to convince Sakaki that he had not heard wrong.
Kurasaemon paused and continued, “I hope you can help us to assassinate the daimyo of the Hime region, who is our nominal lord, Sato Yasuto!”
Thirty Years of Hardship (Old Version)
In the Ximei region, somewhere in a dense forest.
“Tsk tsk tsk, my luck today is really bad…”
A young man with a frighteningly pale face said in a seemingly calm and indifferent tone.
“After a whole day of chasing, I didn’t kill even one prey.”
The young man was currently sitting on a warrior who was lying on the ground.
The warrior lowered his head and supported himself on the muddy ground with his hands and knees, turning his back into a “chair” for people to sit on.
And the pale-faced young man was just sitting on the warrior’s back so carefree.
Even the warrior under his crotch was already sweating profusely due to fatigue.
My hands and legs began to tremble slightly.
However, the pale-faced young man sitting on his back showed no intention of sympathizing with him.
The young man kicked him to the ground.
Then, he swaggered and sat on the back of another warrior.
In front of him, warriors knelt on one knee on both sides.
These warriors are the young man’s personal guards.
There are more than a hundred people.
Every time he went out hunting, the young man would bring out his more than one hundred guards, so that these one hundred guards could protect him closely at any time and anywhere when he was hunting.
This young man is none other than the current daimyo of the Hime region, Sato Yasuto, who came here to hunt today.
After hearing Sato Jingyuan’s complaint about not being able to catch any prey, many of the guards around him began to break out in cold sweat on their faces.
At the same time, their heads, which were already drooping, were buried even lower.
Looking at this posture, it seemed as if these warriors wished they could bury their heads into the soil.
Because they have seen too many times that Sato Jingyuan took his anger out on other people because of his bad hunting…
In order to avoid being targeted by Sato Jingyuan, the lord who may go crazy at any time.
They, the followers, had to lower their heads as much as possible and curl up their bodies.
To reduce your own presence as much as possible.
My Lord.
At this time, a sturdy warrior who was closest to Sato Jingyuan but did not have to kneel down spoke slowly.
“It’s getting dark now, so let’s stop hunting today.”
This sturdy warrior is none other than the top warrior under Sato Yasutoshi in the Hime region, and also his personal bodyguard, Shin Hengyisuke Jianhao.
At the same time, he was also one of the few people who could speak up and give some advice to Sato Yasuto.
After hearing what Shin Heng Yisuke said, Sato Jingyuan looked up at the sky which was almost dark.
” Well, let’s go back.”
After saying that, Sato Jingyuan stood up and walked towards the horse tied next to him.
“It’s a good opportunity to see if that guy Matsushita Nanase has brought back the head of that remnant.”
Sato Yasuto’s voice gradually faded away.
Seeing that Sato Jingyuan was finally going to go back, most of the guards, especially the guard who had just lay down and served as a “chair” for Sato Jingyuan, and the guard who was kicked to the ground, all breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, at Kurasaemon’s house.
“Assassination… Sato Yasuto…?”
Sakaki Ye was slightly stunned.
Then, he uttered each word of the sentence one by one.
” Elder, let me confirm, are you joking when you said that just now?”
“Of course I’m not joking.” Kurasaemon said seriously.
“I’m quite serious.”
Due to the impact of the huge amount of information, Sakaki Ye now feels his head is a little swollen.
“I don’t understand. I want to kill Kurasaemon because I have a blood feud with him and I have reasons why I must kill him.” Sakaki thought for a while and asked.
You know, this Kurasaemon is the patriarch of Sato Yasutoshi.
Such a person would actually ask me to kill Sato Jingyuan?
But what should you do if the other person is deceiving you?
If someone wanted to kill me, he could have just let someone do it in the dense forest.
Sakaki Ye’s brows furrowed.
He couldn’t figure out the other party’s intentions for a while.
However, he might as well subconsciously raise his vigilance.
When Sakaki Ye raised his hand to rub his forehead, trying to relax his head which was a little tense due to the impact of the huge amount of information.
“Sakaki Ye-kun, I know that what I said may be hard to believe for you.”
Kurasaemon thought for a moment and continued, “Although you have heard of and witnessed the lord’s cruelty, in fact, you have not really experienced the lord’s cruelty. I can guarantee this.”
“Please wait a moment.”
“In order to explain to you more conveniently, and to further explain my motives for assassinating the Lord, I decided to let you… meet someone first.”
After saying that, Kurasaemon tilted his head slightly and shouted outside the room: “Qing Yuan!”
“Master Elder! I’m here!” As soon as Kurasaemon finished speaking, a short young man dressed in black ninja clothes and somewhat unremarkable in appearance pulled open the paper sliding door next to him.
The young ninja knelt on one knee on the ground.
“Bring Rodin here for me.”
“yes!”
After the ninja Qingyuan responded loudly, he closed the paper sliding door that he had just opened and disappeared from the sight of Sakaki Ye and Kurasaemon.
Not long after, Qingyuan came back again.
However, Qing Yuan, who had returned once again, did not come back alone.
Instead, he returned with a thin, dull-looking boy.
Sakaki Ye remained calm and looked the young man up and down several times.
The boy’s clothes were quite neat.
It also looks quite clean, as if it had just taken a shower.
However, his eyes made Sakaki Ye feel a little uneasy.
Because, this young man s eyes have no spirit at all.
Just…like a pair of dead people’s eyes.
Led by the ninja Qing Yuan, the young man knelt on the left side of Sakaki Ye.
After the young man sat down, Qing Yuan took a few steps back and knelt on one knee beside the young man.
“Mr. Samurai, nice to meet you…” The young man took the lead and introduced himself to Sakaki Ye.
“My name is Rodin.”
After the young man called Rodin finished speaking, Sakaki Ye hurriedly turned his body, which was kneeling on the ground, to the left, so that his body was facing Rodin.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Sakaki Ye.”
“Sakaki Ye-kun.” At this time, Kurasaemon also spoke from the side.
“This child was born in a common village called Hideyoshi in Hime.”
After listening to Kurasaemon’s additional introduction to Rodin, Sakaki Ye couldn’t help but secretly said in his heart.
Why did the family elder Kurasaemon let someone with such a scary look come to see him?
As soon as Sakakiye mentioned his idea, Kurasaemon immediately took the initiative to add to his thoughts.
A sentence that made Sakaki’s heart almost skip a beat: “Two months ago, Hideyoshi ceased to exist.”
Ah? Sakaki turned his head and cast a surprised look towards Kurasaemon.
“Gone? What happened?”
Kurasaemon pursed his lips, paused for a moment, and said, ” Since Lord Ajita ascended the throne, he has been imposing excessive taxes on villages to satisfy his own selfish desires.”
“Two months ago, the villagers of Hideyoshi Village revolted because they could not stand the harsh taxes.”
Then it was quickly put out.
“It took only two days from the start of the uprising to its failure.”
“Sakaki-kun, you must be confused now, right? Wondering why you have never heard of this uprising.”
Hearing Kurasaemon’s words, Sakaki’s pupils shrank slightly.
Because what Kurasaemon said just now accurately hit the nail on the head for Sakaki Ye’s thoughts.
Just now, Sakaki Ye was wondering why he had never heard of this.
“The reason why you, Sakaki, didn’t hear about this is because we did our best to block the news of ‘Hideyoshi Village launching an uprising’ and ‘Hideyoshi Village uprising failed’.”
“There are two reasons that force us to do this.”
“The first reason is that the peasants in a certain village in the territory could not stand the harsh taxes and started an uprising. Such disgraceful news should naturally be known to as few people as possible.”
“As for the second reason…” Kurasaemon suddenly fell silent.
The hands that were originally placed naturally on the legs slowly clenched.
The emotions in his eyes gradually became complicated.
“The second reason… is because the lord has dealt very cruelly with the villagers who were captured because of the failed uprising…”
Kurasaemon’s words seemed to have some magical power.
As soon as the words fell, Rodin had a strange reaction.
Rodin clenched his teeth suddenly, clenched his fists, and his body began to tremble slightly, as if he wanted to break his teeth and scratch his palms until they bled.
And Sakaki Ye looked at the other person thoughtfully.
Next. Kurasaemon sighed softly.
“Let Rodan tell you what his lord did to Hideyoshi’s villagers…”
Sakaki’s gaze turned towards Rodin.
Rodan took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.
Then, he opened his mouth and uttered a hoarse voice: “…Sato Jingyuan, that bastard…is not a human…”
“He took everyone in the village… to a dojo in the city, and the women were taken to other places…”
“That bastard… loves to see close relatives and friends killing each other, and then calls it the purest form of ‘competition’.”
“That dojo… is where that bastard went to watch the fights.”
“The reason why we were brought to that dojo was to watch us and our families and friends kill each other.”
“He gave each of us a knife…”
“Only one person can survive in each duel.”
“And my first opponent… is my brother!”
Having said this, Rodin could no longer control his emotions, and tears began to roll down his eyes uncontrollably.
“If there is no winner in every duel, both of them will be killed by that bastard!”
“I don’t want to kill my brother…”
“But I don’t want to die either.”
“In the end, my brother took the initiative to die…”
“Then… my second opponent… is my father!”
“My father also ran into my knife in order to keep me alive…”
“After that… I killed many of my friends in the village…”
“I killed my brother, killed my father, and killed almost all of my friends before I finally survived.”
“I hate myself so much… I killed all my relatives and friends just to survive… I am so despicable!”
“But I hate that bastard Sato Jingyuan who forced us to do this even more!!”
Rodan pounced on Sakaki and grabbed his arm tightly.
“Master Samurai! Please help me! Help us!”
“Please help us kill that bastard Sato Jingyuan!!”
Rodan held Sakaki’s right hand tightly with both of his hands.
At this moment, Sakaki Ye could clearly feel the strength of the other party’s hands.
And…the boundless hatred hidden in Rodin’s body.
He could relate to this so well.
Moreover, compared to this tearful request, what made Sakaki Ye feel even more uneasy were Rodin’s tears.
Originally, Rodin’s tears were an ordinary transparent color.
Especially, as Rodin continues to elaborate on his own previous experiences.
His tears gradually began to change.
It changes from transparent to light red slowly.
Finally…it turned into the current scarlet red…
Scarlet tears.
No, it can no longer be called tears.
It should be said that blood kept rolling out of Rodin’s eye sockets and then dripping down.
To Sakaki Ye, the glaring blood beads were as hot as sparks, burning his entire body.
It seemed as if goose bumps appeared uncontrollably all over his skin.
Looking at Rodin shedding tears of blood, Kurasaemon couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
“Qing Yuan… take him away to rest…”
Ninja Qingyuan helped Rodan, who was still howling, out of the room.
Sakaki stared blankly in the direction where Rodin left.
I was speechless for a long time.
Sato Yasuto, what that guy did is truly beyond description!
Thirty-one books can endure the darkness (old version)
“This is the game that the lord likes to play the most…” Kurasaemon said in a deep voice with a slightly hoarse voice.
“My lord, he amuses himself by watching his closest relatives and friends kill each other.”
“Everyone in Hideyoshi Village has become a toy in the game played by the lord.”
“In addition to the villagers of Hideyoshi Village, there are many people trapped in the lord’s castle, all of whom are forced to participate in this game of life and death…”
“Of the nearly 100 male villagers in Hideyoshi Village, only Rodin and a few others survived because of the cruel game played by their lord.”
“Because those who survived are no longer relatives or friends, they can no longer play this cruel game, so the lord ordered the release of Rodin and others.”
“After the lord released these people, I adopted them as homeless people.”
“But… those who survived couldn’t bear such a blow, and some went crazy…”
“Some of them committed suicide quietly when we weren’t paying attention…”
“Among these survivors, only Rodin is still able to maintain his normal sanity…”
I have to say that the word “barely” that Kurasaemon mentioned just now is very accurate.
As for Rodin, his current mental state can be considered normal.
At least he can still talk to people properly, lead a normal life, and won’t do anything crazy or incomprehensible.
But if you say it’s abnormal… then it’s extremely abnormal.
Rodin’s mind had long been occupied by thoughts of revenge.
If Sato Yasuto was standing here, and Rodin had a knife in his hand…
No, maybe it doesn t matter whether there is a knife or not.
As long as Sato Jingyuan stood here, Rodin would definitely rush over regardless of the consequences and kill Sato Jingyuan even if it meant dying together with him.
Sakaki wanted to speak to Rodin and say something.
However, the words were on the tip of his tongue, surging to Sakaki’s lips, but he couldn’t utter anything.
He didn’t know what to say to Rodin in front of him…
Because he knew it clearly.
Any words of comfort will seem extremely pale in front of the survivors who are now trapped in the tragedy that has already happened.
In fact, Sakaki Ye could understand this feeling.
He is able to empathize.
Because, Sakaki Ye is also the only survivor in Gong Er Sword Hall…
That day, in the sword hall filled with dead bodies, Sakaki Ye was the only one left.
Originally, on that day, all the masters and disciples in the sword hall gathered here, preparing to hold a reunion banquet.
So, that day.
When tragedy struck, everyone was caught in one fell swoop…no one survived except Sakaki Ye.
That day, the hysterical Sakaki Ye was alone and busy for several hours, from dusk until dawn, before he successfully completed the burial of all the victims of the tragedy.
That day, Sakaki Ye cleaned the huge sword hall alone.
Moreover, he looked at everything in the sword hall very carefully, as if he wanted to engrave all the objects and details inside into his mind.
It was only after that day that Sakaki Ye realized it clearly.
If you are weak, you will be bullied.
However, the weak should not be bullied as a matter of course.
It’s this world that’s wrong.
People with strength can do whatever they want, but the weak can only suffer the consequences.
People without strength can only go with the flow.
Normally, you need to pray that nothing will happen to you.
Once something happens, you will be at the mercy of others.
Because, where there are people, there are ambitions.
Where there is ambition, there is bound to be conflict.
Where there is dispute, there will be killing.
There will be death.
The short history of mankind is just a tiny moment for this planet.
But even in such a short period of time, it was still full of war, killing and death.
Any rules are made by the strong.
Any truth, at the beginning, can only be made clear with fists.
Sakaki Ye once said in his previous life that one can endure darkness, but only if one has never seen the light.
It is precisely because we have witnessed the peaceful and tranquil times of later generations, the beautiful years of a true great power.
What Sakaki Ye could not tolerate even more was the mess and dirty things that happened in this world and this chaotic era.
Kurasaemon was not in a hurry to ask Sakakiye for an answer.
I know that Sakaki Ye had just gone through an intense battle and was in a daze, so he needed a good sleep.
So, after taking Sakaki Ye to meet Rodin, he asked someone to take Sakaki Ye to the guest room that had been prepared in advance and let Sakaki Ye rest first.
Because his body was truly too exhausted, Sakaki Ye did not object to the offer of staying overnight.
After entering the guest room, he just lay down on the bedding and closed his eyes. The next second, Sakaki fell into a deep sleep.
No words were spoken that night.
During this sleep, Sakaki Ye slept until the sun was shining on his butt.
He stretched lazily.
Sakaki Ye yawned. He dared to guarantee it with his own life.
Last night was definitely the best night of sleep he had ever had since he came to the world of One Piece.
I took a nap and slept until almost noon.
In the middle of the process, I didn’t even have a dream.
He sat up, and after his brain, which was a little confused from waking up, gradually regained its clarity, Sakaki Ye stood up swiftly.
After neatly folding the bedding that the family elder Kurasaemon lent him last night, Sakakiye slowly walked towards the courtyard connected to the house.
Wait!
Near Kurasaemon’s main courtyard, two gatekeepers looked at the young samurai with a wary look.
“No one is allowed to approach!”
“Please both of you inform the elder of the family.” The young warrior said softly, “Just tell him that Sakaki Ye is here to visit.”
“Sakaki Ye?” The two gatekeepers exclaimed in unison.
The two of them had received instructions before.
If a young samurai calling himself Sakaki Ye comes to visit, report it immediately.
I understand. Please wait here for a moment. After leaving these words, a gatekeeper hurried into the yard.
Not long after the gatekeeper left, he turned back and signaled to let them pass.
Sakaki Ye followed him along the path in the courtyard and came to the main hall.
“Sakaki-kun…you’re awake.”
In the reception hall of the mansion, Kurasaemon, who was ready to go, sat opposite Sakaki Ye.
When he met Sakaki Ye again, Kurasaemon did not exchange any pleasantries with Sakaki Ye.
“Are you… ready?” Kurasaemon looked at Sakaki Ye and asked with a serious expression.
There is no need to say more words.
The fact that Sakaki Ye chose to come and see him as soon as he woke up already shows his choice.
Next, you just need to confirm the other party’s will.
“Well, I’m prepared.” In response to the question from the family elder Kurasaemon, Sakaki nodded and answered without thinking.
“Okay, but if you really choose to be an executioner, your fate will be one of death.” Kurasaemon took a deep breath, his eyes fixed, and looked directly at Sakaki Ye.
“Sato Yasuto is a local daimyo with many samurai under his command and strong men to protect him. If you want to plot against him, it will be a fierce battle.”
Kurasaemon stared with his sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through Sakakiye’s inner thoughts.
“Even so, Sakaki Ye-kun, are you willing to join us in upholding justice?” Kurasaemon took a deep breath and asked again in a serious voice.
And Sakaki Ye did not show any weakness either, and looked at Kurasaemon with a powerful gaze.
“I don’t really care about justice.” Sakaki Ye said with a determined look on his face.
“From the beginning to the end, I just want to cut that guy Sato Jingyuan into pieces. This is my only goal!”
“Even if I am destroyed in the end, I will fight to the death to utterly kill that traitor!”
Every sentence is powerful.
Kurasaemon looked directly at Sakaki Ye with an expressionless face.
But after hearing Sakaki’s firm words, a faint smile slowly emerged from Kurasaemon’s slightly upturned mouth.
“Hahahaha, light ape!”
Kurasaemon chuckled and then shouted outside the room.
“Yes, sir.” As soon as Kurasaemon’s voice fell, the ninja Qingyuan, who had been waiting outside the room, immediately opened the paper sliding door.
“Hahaha, go tell Ichiro and the others quickly that a new warrior has joined us!” Kurasaemon laughed heartily.
“Yes!” Qing Yuan bowed, turned around and jumped onto the beam, speeding away.
After Qingyuan left quickly, Kurasaemon turned his gaze back to Sakakiye.
“Come on, Sakaki Ye-kun, have breakfast first, and then I’ll take you to meet the other patriots.”
Sakaki nodded.
“I really want it, I dare not refuse it!”
Thirty-two Free Permissions (Old Version)
After breakfast, Kurasaemon led Sakakiye along the winding corridor of the mansion and passed through a small path.
Continue walking towards the depths of the mansion.
Sakaki Ye, who had been following Kurasaemon all the way, observed the situation around him and asked Kurasaemon, “Family elder, I remember you told me before that, besides me, there are only eight people who are willing to wield the sword to kill Sato Yasuto, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Eight people… even if you include me, there are only nine people in total… Elder, in comparison, the number of people on our side is too small, isn’t it?”
“Alas… now that the world has been at peace for a long time, the warriors of the past have gradually become lazy in their martial arts training.”
“In this day and age, it is indeed very difficult to find a warrior with reliable strength.”
Powerful samurai had either defected to local daimyo and become their retainers.
Or they would become bandits, seize control of a territory, and abuse their power.
There are very few swordsmen who are truly capable of fighting and are willing to abandon everything and fight to the death.
“It is even more difficult to find warriors who are not only reliable but also willing to sacrifice themselves for justice…”
In fact, in those days, except for the retainers and private servants kept by the daimyo or local nobles, it was actually very difficult for ordinary samurai to find a job.
Because many positions are unwilling to hire warriors.
There are even quite a few jobs that strictly prohibit warriors from participating.
If you were a warrior and wanted to go to a construction site to move bricks or wood, the foreman would probably not pay much attention to you.
After all, because of the class divide, in the eyes of most civilians, samurai are just a bunch of troublesome uncles, and they would rather leave their hands empty than hire samurai.
The only things a samurai can do, besides killing people, is guarding the house.
In order to maintain order, some singing and dancing venues will also arrange some powerful swordsmen and warriors to sit in the central area.
Of course, this does not mean that the status of samurai is low.
Apart from the special class of court nobles, the society of Wano Country can actually be roughly divided into two types of people.
The warriors were the ruling class, and the common people were the ruled class.
As the ruling class, the samurai, whose social status was superior to that of the common people, had a lot of unscrupulous privileges.
One of the most shameless privileges enjoyed by the warriors was “begging without courtesy”.
The so-called “rude asking” means being a warrior who has the “right to bear a sword”.
If a warrior felt that a commoner had insulted him, he could simply draw his sword and kill the commoner cleanly and efficiently.
And if the reason is justified, there is no need to bear any criminal responsibility.
Because of this, many common people have a fear of samurai.
When you encounter a samurai on the street, people will basically automatically make way for him to avoid trouble.
That’s exactly why.
Therefore, in the eyes of many common people, a warrior running fast on the street is like a running bomb.
If you accidentally bump into a warrior, you might knock his sword crooked or dirty.
The warrior happened to be extremely irritable and reckless. He only needed to yell, “You rude man! You have defiled my soul!” and then draw his sword to kill the civilian who bumped into him.
After killing someone, the warrior may even have a chance to get away with it, and may even be praised by others, “Good job, you have the demeanor of a warrior! A warrior should be so cool!”
This kind of thing is not uncommon in this day and age.
The ruling class in the feudal era could be so unreasonable.
Of course, samurai can use the privilege of “rude request” to kill commoners who are disrespectful to them, but this privilege is not completely omnipotent.
And those warriors, after using “disrespectful punishment” to kill commoners, must have sufficient evidence to prove that the commoner he killed insulted you.
If you can provide evidence, it will be easy.
Samurai, no problem.
If no evidence is produced, the warrior will be arrested and punished for murder.
Therefore, many warriors would abandon the right to “ask rudely” because they found it too troublesome.
“Except for you, these eight people are also people with lofty ideals that I finally found after spending a lot of effort.”
After saying that, Kurasaemon stopped in front of a huge paper sliding door.
“Sakaki-kun, we’re here.”
“The rest of the warriors are practicing sword skills inside now.”
Kurasaemon slowly opened the huge paper sliding door.
Behind the paper sliding door is a simple dojo.
Although the area seems a bit small compared to the front yard, it is large enough to accommodate more than ten people practicing swordsmanship.
Right inside the dojo, there were eight warriors of varying ages.
Without exception, these eight people were sweating profusely at this moment.
They all held wooden swords in their hands and seemed to be practicing swordplay.
In addition to these eight people, there is another person in this simple dojo, and that is Qing Yuan.
At this time, Qingyuan was standing respectfully at the door of the dojo. When he saw the family elder Kurasaemon coming, he immediately knelt on one knee.
When the eight samurai noticed that the person coming was Kurasaemon, they all bowed and saluted him.
“Everyone!”
Kurasaemon clapped his hands.
“Qing Yuan should have told you just now that we have a new companion!”
After saying that, Kurasaemon took half a step to the side, allowing the eight samurai in the dojo to see Sakaki Ye’s face standing behind Kurasaemon more clearly.
“Hello.” Sakaki Ye also bowed to the eight warriors standing in the dojo, and then greeted them in a neutral tone, “Sakaki Ye. Thank you for your guidance.”
“What style of swordsman are you from? Do you have any certificates listed above?” One of the eight warriors asked Sakaki Ye.
“Miyaji Ittoryu.” Sakaki Ye answered.
“No need to allow it to be spread.”
“No need to worry about spreading the news?!”
Is this true
“Great… This time we actually have a swordsman from Menxu Jiechuan joining us…”
Sakaki Ye’s words immediately caused exclamations to be heard one after another in this simple dojo.
In the dojo, the various schools of swordsmanship will award certificates or scrolls of different stages according to the strength of the disciples.
The certificates or scrolls awarded by most sword-fighting schools are, from low to high, paper cutting, catalog, and free permission.
The Miyaji Ittoryu that Sakaki Ye learned was based on the procedures of the sword hall and adopted this order of certificate levels.
The lowest level of certificate is “paper cutting”.
The highest level of certificate is no permission required for all .
Regardless of the order in which each school of thought adopts to award certificates, the highest-level certificates are basically passed on to everyone without permission.
So, what does it mean to have the permission to borrow and transmit from a certain school?
This means that in the future when you go out to fight someone in a duel, as long as you take out your certificate of no permission to fight, your enemy may be so scared that his legs will tremble.
The value of the “Exemption from Permission” certificate is quite high, which means it is quite difficult to obtain.
Take Gong Er s Ittoryu as an example.
In fact, since the establishment of the Gong Er Sword School where Sakaki Ye works, no one has successfully obtained the Menxu Kaiden certificate.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Gong Er Sword Hall is also a young sword hall.
Only a few years have passed since the museum was built.
Sakaki Ye himself can be regarded as one of the first disciples to enter the Gong Er Sword School after its establishment.
In short, no matter which school it is, anyone who can obtain the school’s certificate is undoubtedly a strong swordsman.
Of course, the previous Sakaki Ye might not have had this ability.
Now after the intense fighting, it is indeed worthy of the name.
Sansanjiu Lang (old version)
At this time, the tallest warrior among the eight warriors walked slowly in front of Sakaki Ye.
“Nice to meet you, Sakaki-kun. I’m Ichiro.”
After saying that, the samurai who called himself Ichiro turned sideways and helped the other seven samurai introduce themselves one by one.
“This is Jiro.”
“This is Saburo.”
“This is Shiro.”
“This is Goro.”
“This is Mukuro.”
“This is Shichiro.”
“This is Hachiro.”
“…” Listening to Ichiro’s words, Sakaki’s complicated gaze swept across the faces of the eight warriors one by one.
“So… the eight of you are eight brothers?”
“No, Sakaki-kun, it seems you misunderstood.” Seeing this, Ichiro hurriedly smiled bitterly and explained to Sakaki.
“This is not our real name, it’s just a nickname.”
“Another name?”
“Yes, it’s just a temporary code name.”
“Sakaki Ye-kun, since you have already joined us, you should also know that the few of us probably won’t live long.”
Although the words he said were so heavy, at this moment, Ichiro continued speaking in a relaxed tone, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
“However, what we are about to do is something that will go down in history books.”
“We could all die trying to assassinate Sato Yasuto.”
“If you see someone you know or a friend collapse, no matter who it is, your mood will most likely be disturbed.”
“So, we need to make sure our relationship isn’t too intimate.”
“This ensures that if one person falls, the others can still concentrate on completing the task.”
“Since we don’t know each other’s names, we can only use nicknames for convenience, which is a good way to keep a distance from each other.”
“Besides, it’s convenient for us to call each other by name.”
“I see…” Sakaki nodded slightly and smiled.
“Then I’m the ninth person to join you, so my nickname is ‘Jiulang’, right?”
“That’s right.” Ichiro nodded.
Sakaki looked around.
“This dojo may be small, but it has everything it needs… Were you eight practicing swordplay here just now?”
“Yeah.” Ichiro continued.
“The eight of us have now completely abandoned our respective jobs, families, and… our futures.”
“From the moment we made the decision, we moved into the mansion of the patriarch. Since then, we have been practicing sword skills here wholeheartedly, always preparing for the action that may come at any time.”
Every time a new person comes, they are just like us.
“Is that so… Well, do you still have enough energy to continue practicing?” Sakaki nodded and slowly pulled out his cuffs as he spoke.
“I want to start practicing sword skills right now. Is there anyone willing to practice with me?”
“Haha, of course, the eight of us still have plenty of physical strength!” Ichiro smiled slightly when he heard that and said generously.
“After all, our battle is destined to be one of defeating the many with the few, so physical fitness is of utmost importance.”
“Come on, Jiulang, I’ll practice with you! By the way, let me see the power of Menkyo Kaiden in the legend!”
“Well then, I’ll leave this to you all.”
Kurasaemon is, after all, the family elder of the Hime region. Especially when Sato Yasutoshi was idle and traveling around, the work that needed to be done by him every day was like a mountain.
Kurasaemon found Sakaki Ye and told him that he could use this dojo to practice sword skills as much as he wanted during the next period of time.
If there is anything unclear, you can ask Ichiro. Then Kurasaemon led the ninja Qingyuan and hurriedly left the dojo.
Before launching the final attack, he had to find a way to delay Sato Jingyuan.
On this side, Sakaki Ye, who had tied his sleeves, slowly walked to the knife rack.
After casually taking a wooden sword from the knife rack, Sakaki Ye began to look around.
“Is there no short wooden sword here?”
“Yes, I do…but what do you want the short wooden sword for?”
As Ichiro spoke, he took out a short wooden sword from a wooden box placed in a corner of the dojo and handed it to Sakaki.
Sakaki Ye first took the short wooden sword and weighed it a few times. After confirming that there was no problem with the center of gravity, length, and weight of the short wooden sword, he turned his head and looked at Ichiro.
“Ichiro, could you please spar with me?”
“sure!”
“Okay, thank you very much.”
After saying that, Sakaki Ye held the short wooden sword in his left hand and raised it high, and held the long wooden sword in his right hand and made an ordinary mid-section stance, which is the starting gesture of a two-sword style.
“…” Looking at Sakaki Ye holding two swords, everyone in the field, including Ichiro, couldn’t help but frown.
“Jiulang!” Ichiro asked in confusion.
“Didn’t you say you were the Menkyo Kaiden of Miyaji Ittoryu? But your stance is… Two-Sword Style?”
“As a samurai, it’s normal to know some different sword techniques.” Sakaki shook his head.
He still can’t use two swords.
However, he wanted to use this opportunity to try out his Observation Haki.
“Two-sword style… This is the first time I’ve seen it…” Ichiro nodded. As he spoke, he raised the wooden sword in his hand and assumed a mid-range stance.
Sakaki Ye and Ichiro stood facing each other.
“Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that the style I studied is Kawashin Ittoryu.”
After saying that, Ichiro also cheered up, let out a shocking roar, and quickly attacked Sakaki Ye.
Sakaki Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and stared closely at Ichiro who was attacking him.
Long before the battle began, Sakaki Ye had already tried to adjust his own aura and entered a state where his Observation Haki was activated.
Sakaki Ye’s body twisted slightly.
The next moment, he swung the short wooden sword in his left hand at lightning speed to block Ichiro’s knife.
The moment he swung the dagger in his left hand to block Ichiro’s attack, Sakaki’s right hand also moved quickly according to his own sensitivity.
He swung his right hand holding the long wooden sword.
The next moment, the long wooden sword in Sakakiye’s hand was firmly placed on Ichiro’s neck.
Left hand defends, right hand attacks.
The whole action seemed to be done in one go.
Thirty-four Time is running out (old version)
So amazing
“Jiulang was able to defeat Ichiro so easily…”
“I didn’t expect Jiulang to not only master the Menkyo Kaiden of the Ittoryu Sword Technique, but also have such a deep attainment in the Two-Sword Sword Technique.”
The beautiful double-sword coordination demonstrated by Sakaki Ye immediately aroused everyone’s admiration.
“Jiulang!” As the person involved, Ichiro, who was fighting with Sakaki, was the first to widen his eyes and asked Sakaki.
“What style of dual-wielding are you using? You can actually strike back after the opponent attacks?”
“This is not dual-sword technique. I don’t know how to use dual-sword technique.” Sakaki Ye shook his head, ignored the praise from several people, and took back the knife in his hand.
“Come on, let’s continue.”
“Let me take the next one! I want to learn Jiulang’s swordsmanship!”
Sakaki looked at the new man who had come on stage.
If, if he remembered correctly, this man’s code name should be Shiro.
After getting into a fighting stance again, Sakaki stared at Shiro in front of him.
“drink!”
A clear shout came from Silang’s mouth, and then he took a step forward.
Then, he quickly stabbed the wooden sword in his hand towards Sakaki Ye’s chest.
What happened next was almost exactly the same as what had just happened.
He simply raised his arm slightly, and with the wakizashi held in his left hand, he blocked Shiro’s sword the moment he turned around and raised his arm.
Then, he lowered his body and began to counterattack Shiro with his wooden katana.
With lightning speed, he placed the tip of the katana firmly against Shiro’s chest.
I have to say that the power of Observation Haki is indeed a practical weapon.
If the opponent had not activated his Observation Haki, he would not have been defeated so quickly with his swordsmanship.
At least, it would take dozens of fierce battles before Sakaki Ye would have a chance.
Instead of being like it is now, it would be possible to quickly see through the opponent’s flaws in just an instant.
Sakaki Ye’s talent for seeing through everything, combined with his observation Haki, really greatly improves his strength.
Sakaki took a deep breath and said loudly: “Next, I want to spar with two people at the same time!”
Sakaki Ye gradually began to try one-on-many confrontations.
He wanted to take this opportunity to quickly hone his Observation Haki power, which had been activated but not yet flexibly used.
After moving his wrists slightly and relaxing his tense muscles, Sakaki looked at Ichiro and the others again.
“Come on, keep going!”
“Jiulang…” Ichiro couldn’t help but look hesitant.
“You’ve just fought several people in a row, don’t you really want to take a break first?”
“No.” Sakaki shook his head.
“Time is precious, let’s quickly start practicing again. This time, I want to challenge more people, please four people!”
Accompanied by clear shouts, everyone started fighting again.
That night, in a room in Kurasaemon’s mansion.
Sakaki Ye was staring at the food in front of him in a daze.
Rice, miso soup, chopped radish, a salted fish, and a small bowl of pork.
At this time, Sakaki Ye and eight other patriots were sitting neatly in a simple room.
In front of everyone, there was a table filled with delicious food.
According to Ichiro and the others, this room is where they usually eat.
Just when Sakaki was surprised by the food in front of him, Kurasaemon suddenly flashed into the “dining room” of Sakaki and others, and waved his hand, indicating that everyone in the room did not need to greet him.
“Sakaki, eat as much as you can. It is necessary to store up your energy for the next action.”
Kurasaemon continued with a smile.
“Meat is not only delicious, but also a great way to replenish your physical strength.”
“Everyone.” Kurasaemon moved his gaze and scanned the faces of the patriots in front of him one by one.
“I have important information to share with you. Please listen to me while you eat.”
Since Kurasaemon said so, Sakaki Ye and the others, who had been starving for a long time, didn’t act pretentiously. They hurriedly picked up their chopsticks and started to wolf down the food.
Kurasaemon slowly knelt down on the tatami, then looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: “Our action…will probably start at the end of this month…or next month.”
Kurasaemon’s words made Sakaki Ye and others immediately put down their chopsticks.
Kurasaemon then continued, “My lord, he loves hunting very much.”
“At the same time, he also extremely hates cold and dry environments.”
“So after September, the lord will no longer go out of the city to hunt.”
“If we want to assassinate the lord, our only chance is when he goes out of the city to hunt.”
“My Lord’s next hunt will probably take place at the end of this month or next month.”
“And the next hunt should be the lord’s last hunt of the year.”
“That is to say, the next time the lord goes out of the city to hunt, it will be our last chance to assassinate him this year.”
“If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait until next year.”
As soon as Kurasaemon finished speaking, someone immediately raised his question.
“Master, do we have to assassinate Sato Yasuto before the end of this year?”
“That’s right.” Kurarimon nodded.
“Why, can’t we wait until next year to assassinate?” The man thought for a moment and continued to ask.
“This way, we will have more time to prepare, and maybe we can recruit a few more people who are willing to risk their lives with us.”
“No.” Kurasaemon shook his head, “It’s too late…”
“You may not know that the lord has many eyes and ears in the Hime region.”
“I also spent a lot of effort to conceal the existence of the nine of you and my plan to assassinate the lord.”
“But with so many eyes and ears on the Lord’s side, I’m not sure if I can keep it a secret.”
“If our plan gets out, we’ll all be doomed.”
“So, the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.”
“We must kill the lord before others discover our assassination plan!”
I see
Sakaki nodded and stretched hard.
“Well, it seems that… I have to work harder… and try to become stronger before the operation begins.”
“Sakaki Ye-kun…” Kurasaemon cast a complicated look at Sakaki Ye.
“I heard from Qing Yuan…You practiced sword skills very hard today…”
“Although it is a good thing to practice sword skills diligently, you also need to learn to take good rest, Sakaki Ye-kun.”
“Also, although practicing sword skills diligently now can indeed make my sword skills a little better, it won’t improve much.”
“No matter how much you practice, Sakaki Ye-kun, you can’t become an unrivaled swordsman, or even a great swordsman, in just one month.”
“So, Sakaki Ye-kun, don’t try too hard.”
“If you hurt yourself before the action begins, it will be troublesome.”
In response to Kurasaemon who gave him this advice, Sakaki straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully to Kurasaemon.
“Yes, I will pay attention to it.”
Although his tone was very respectful, Sakaki Ye was just trying to please Kurasaemon…
After all, Sato Yasuto is protected by a powerful swordsman.
Nanase Matsushita was able to make him fight to the death.
As a swordsman, Sakaki Ye was not sure.
“By the way, Sakaki Ye-kun, this is for you first.”
After saying that, Kurasaemon waved to Qingyuan beside him, and Qingyuan immediately handed the thing that he had been holding in his arms since a while, which was covered with a white cloth, to Kurasaemon.
“Sakaki Ye-kun, this is a knife I prepared specially for you.”
After saying that, Kurasaemon tore off the white cloth, revealing the things inside: a new katana and a wakizashi.
“I spent a lot of money to buy these two knives.”
“A sword mates a hero. Whether a sword is useful or not has a huge impact on a swordsman.”
“However, the weight, curvature, and length of these two swords are all different from the swords you originally used, Sakaki Ye-kun.”
“So during these days, Sakaki Ye, you should practice more and try to become familiar with these two swords.”
“Thank you, elder.” Sakaki Ye was not pretentious. He bowed to Kurasaemon frankly and took the knife handed to him by Kurasaemon.
Get up and leave.
“I know that the swordsman is very powerful… Well, I hope you can make a breakthrough. If not… I can only take a risk and give it a try.”
Thirty-five are all trying to become stronger (old version)
Sakaki Ye looked at the eight people in front of him with an expressionless face.
At this moment, the eight people standing in front of Sakaki Ye were naturally Ichiro and others.
Seeing Sakaki Ye becoming more and more aggressive, Ichiro and the others also became tense.
Holding the wooden sword in their hands, they half-surrounded Sakaki Ye.
This time, it was also the umpteenth time that Sakaki Ye tried to fight eight people alone.
There are wins and losses.
If Sakaki Ye were to seize the opportunity, these eight guys would be defeated one by one.
Therefore, despite having a huge advantage in numbers, Ichiro and others still looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy when facing Sakaki Ye. They held their breath and dared not even breathe.
The first person to move was Sakaki Ye.
Sakaki Ye kicked his back foot and rushed straight towards Shiro who was standing opposite him.
He quickly pulled out his wakizashi with his left hand and blocked Shiro’s sword.
The katana in his other hand stabbed quickly and hard into Shiro’s chest.
With extremely smooth movements, he knocked the opponent down directly.
Drink!
“ha!”
Two loud shouts came from both sides of Sakaki Ye.
Jiro and Shichiro also raised their swords high and slashed fiercely at Sakaki Ye who had broken into their formation.
Sakaki Ye raised his two swords and blocked the attacks of Jiro and Shichiro respectively. Then he waved his hands and shook off the two men’s swords. Then two more sounds of breaking wind were heard at the same time.
Sakaki Ye’s figure flashed out, and he swung the two swords in his hands quickly, almost at the same time hitting Rokuro and Goro who were standing on his left and right sides.
However, without giving Sakakiye any time to catch his breath, Ichiro swung his knife towards him.
Sakaki Ye’s feet shifted and he subconsciously retreated quickly with a strange step.
However, an accident occurred at this time.
Sakaki Ye subconsciously stepped back quickly and bumped into the wooden wall behind him.
With no way to retreat, Sakaki Ye could only watch helplessly as the tip of the opponent’s knife pressed firmly against his chest.
Jiulang The other party smiled at Sakaki Ye.
“You lose.”
“Hmm…” Sakaki Ye smiled bitterly, “Yeah… I lost again. In this confined environment, it’s really hard to fight one against many…”
If it was a guerrilla attack on a large scale, Sakaki Ye could easily defeat the eight people without any injury.
But once the space becomes smaller, he cannot withstand the simultaneous attack of eight people.
Still have to keep practicing.
Ichiro also came over and said with a smile.
“However, as long as the space here is spacious enough, Jiulang, you can rely on roaming to continuously create a one-on-one environment.”
“In a one-on-one fight, the eight of us are no match for you.”
“As long as you can turn one-on-eight into eight one-on-ones, then we will be the losers.”
The reason why Sakaki Ye lost every time was surprisingly the same, because the venue was not spacious enough and he did not have time to dodge the knives coming from different directions.
Although they lost the game again with a one-on-eight ratio, Sakaki Ye did not feel that depressed.
To fail now is like to fail on the battlefield.
After all, the other side is bound to be outnumbered. If it is difficult to fight against eight people at a time, wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing to face hundreds of enemies?
At that time, failure meant death.
It would be better to make good use of the time and let him become as familiar as possible with how to face the pressure from multiple swordsman masters at the same time.
His observation Haki also improved faster during this process.
“Sakaki Ye-kun…are you…training a little too hard?”
After finishing his official duties and returning to the dojo, Kurasaemon looked at Sakaki Ye who had just finished another round of training, and couldn’t help but ask with concern.
“Even if you want revenge, you can’t tire yourself out!”
Kurasaemon let out a long sigh.
“My dear elder, it’s okay. Please don’t worry. I know my own body well.” Sakaki Ye wiped the sweat off his face while panting.
Since he has come to this world where the strong prey on the weak, Sakaki Ye must adapt to this world.
He has no interest in taking advantage of his power to rob others.
But he also didn’t want what happened in the past to happen again and become the target of predation by others!
Only by possessing powerful strength can one be truly free and detached from the world!
He must seize the time and make himself stronger.
“By the way, elder of the family, can you find some information for me about the swordsman next to Sato Jingyuan?” Sakaki Ye thought for a while and said.
As someone who is relatively familiar with One Piece, Sakaki Ye has never relaxed.
There is still a big gap between a swordsman and a swordsman.
In the world of One Piece, the professionalism of a swordsman is mainly reflected in his techniques and moves.
In other words, a qualified swordsman should be proficient in sword skills and sword moves based on the sword.
The degree of proficiency in swordsmanship is not entirely determined by strength.
Instead, it depends on the character’s skill in using the sword.
In the original plot, in the Thriller Bark arc, Luffy once clearly stated that he could not use a sword.
However, after being infused with the shadow of the navy swordsman, Luffy can also use delicate knife skills to cut trees into thin slices.
Cutting a tree is not difficult, but slicing it into thin slices is a technical job.
Later, when Luffy was fighting against Oz in the form of Nightmare Luffy, his flash that looked very handsome was at the level of a professional swordsman.
After the shadow left, he immediately took off the useless knife behind him.
And Franky has absolutely no skill in using a sword, but his “sword skills” are evaluated by the enemy as “poor, but dangerous.”
In contrast, as a professional swordsman, Zoro has extremely strong control over the sword and can use the sword to block sudden and subtle attacks. This delicate work is difficult for his non-swordsman companions to do.
There are sword moves based on swords, and the power of the moves depends on the weapons rather than the ability of the fruit.
Sanji of the Straw Hat Pirates is also skilled in the use of swords, but he is not a swordsman.
Because he did not have any skills that could support the use of swords, he relied on the kicking skills of his legs to travel around the world.
Even when he was a child, he learned how to use a sword. When he grew up, he also mastered the knife skills through practicing cooking.
But even so, Sanji, who is very good at using a sword, is not a swordsman, but a “foot man”.
This is because all of his attacking skills consist of kicking techniques with his legs.
Hawkins and Law, who rely on the power of devil fruits to fight with swords, are not swordsmen.
Looking at the swordplay in One Piece, it s quite interesting.
Compared to ability users and physical skills, it has a very complete school.
The lowest level is the swordsman.
Only when one has the power to cut through iron can one be called a swordsman.
A powerful swordsman could even cut a mountain in half with a single strike.
The most direct manifestation is to use Sauron as a reference.
When he first went out to sea, Zoro didn’t know how to use sword energy. Although he was extremely powerful and had a strong offensive ability, his realm was too low and he couldn’t even cut iron. He could only be called a swordsman.
Even so, it is possible to defeat pirates with less than 70 million.
You know, the supernovas at that time were just over 100 million.
In a sense, it can be said that Zoro’s development path is very strange.
He definitely had the strength comparable to that of a swordsman at that time, but he lacked the most important realm.
After defeating Crocodile, Zoro entered the realm of swordsman for the first time. He made an immediate leap forward at this stage. Later, when he fought on the Judicial Island, we could also see that he already had the strength to defeat the major admiral at this time.
However, due to his lack of training, his understanding of swordsmanship was still too shallow and he did not display much attack power.
The waters at the swordsman level are too deep.
For example, the swordsman Ryuma, the legendary swordsman who can slay dragons, can easily defeat most swordsmen by relying only on the memory of his body, without a corpse of any realm or school.
When fighting the Snow Girl, Zoro was even able to cut the person in half without killing him.
Even if the enemy is of the Nature type, he is unable to recover, because he has transcended a certain level. When fighting against cadres with the Fruit of the Earth, he can easily cut a giant as tall as a mountain into small pieces.
Therefore, Sakaki Ye wanted to obtain information about the new Hengyi Zujianhao.
If possible, he would certainly like to master the power of Armament Haki.
Unfortunately, I didn t feel it.
There is no idea of ??cutting iron either.
We can only think of solutions from other aspects.
Of course, in fact, things like Armament Haki are not necessarily more powerful the earlier you master them.
As long as the foundation is laid solid enough, mastering Armament Haki a little later will not delay your pace of becoming stronger. Ultimately, it still depends on the person.
Some people are born with strong physiques, so they can master Armament Haki at an early age.
Some people are born with weak constitutions, and it will take them a little longer to master Armament Haki, but they may all reach the top in the end.
Armament Haki has only two functions. The first is to increase the hardness of the body to enhance attack and defense power!
Second, a strong enough armament color can attack users with natural abilities!
To sum up, that’s why Rayleigh said that Haki is a means to fight against people with special abilities!
Of course, domineering does not mean being invincible…it is just a plus point for overall strength.
What determines strength is still a combination of physical skills, domineering, devil fruit development, combat IQ and other factors!
Because the next time Sato Jingyuan goes out of the city to hunt, that is when their actions will begin.
The other party may go hunting at the end of this month, or next month, I don t know when.
It is precisely because they don t know when the action will begin that these patriots have a deep sense of crisis.
Everyone practiced sword skills more diligently in the dojo.
Everyone is trying to make themselves stronger, trying to increase the chances of success in the upcoming shocking action even a little bit.
The nine people including Sakaki Ye are currently living in Kurasaemon’s mansion.
There are only a few things I do every day: eating, going to the toilet, sleeping, and practicing swordsmanship.
At least two-thirds of the day is spent in the dojo.
Time passed by little by little, and everyone really risked their lives.
Among them, Sakaki Ye is the most hardworking.
During this month, Sakaki Ye had heard countless times from Kurasaemon, Ichiro and others words like “That’s enough, you should take a rest soon” and “You should take a rest soon”.
Unfortunately, he still hasn’t been able to master the power of Armament Haki.
The Giri of the Thirty-five Samurai (Old Version)
In order to conceal the existence of Sakaki Ye and others, Kurasaemon drew a big “circle” with the living room of the volunteers and the training dojo as the center.
Kurasaemon issued a strict order, not allowing any servants in the palace to enter this “circle”.
At the same time, in order to reduce the risk of exposing their identities, people like Sakaki Ye would not be allowed to easily leave this “circle”.
Three meals a day, fruits, and equipment that needs to be replaced are also delivered to each other by Qingyuan.
The only people who can enter and exit this “circle” freely are Kurasaemon and Kyusaru.
All Sakaki Ye and the others need to do is to train and practice wholeheartedly to improve their own strength.
Time is passing by bit by bit.
Scratch.
Until this day, the paper sliding door of the dojo was pulled open from the outside.
At this moment, the person who opened the door from the outside and entered the dojo was none other than Kurasaemon with a sullen face.
And, the light monkey who followed Kurasaemon closely.
Before Sakaki Ye and the others had the chance to greet Kurasaemon, Kurasaemon said in a deep voice, “Everyone, there is a new piece of news. The lord… will set out tomorrow to hunt in the Wild Boar Forest!”
As soon as Kurasaemon finished speaking, the pupils of Sakaki Ye and others in the dojo shrank.
Is it finally coming The first person to speak was Ichiro.
However, Sakaki Ye did not express any emotion.
He just clenched the wooden sword in his hand.
His eyes narrowed.
An undisguised cold light burst out from it.
“You all, follow me.” Kurasaemon nodded and looked at everyone in a deep voice.
“We should prepare for the combat meeting.”
Everybody, sit together.
On the tatami in the center of the crowd, there was a huge, detailed map.
“This is the map of this hunting area, the Wild Boar Forest.” Kurasaemon stroked the map with his big, withered hands, looked at everyone, and continued.
“Because there are a lot of wild boars in this forest, it is called the Wild Boar Forest. It is also one of the lord’s favorite hunting places.”
“Qing Yuan and I have collected reliable intelligence. The lord will lead his servants to the Wild Boar Forest to hunt tomorrow morning.”
“Are we going tomorrow… Elder?” Hachiro suddenly said softly.
“Before that, may I ask a question?”
“You ask.”
“How many guards will Sato Jingyuan bring with him when he shows up to hunt tomorrow?”
“One hundred and seventy-eight people.” Kurasaemon gave an exact number.
“Although some of the lord’s guards were killed or injured in the accident a month ago, the lord has selected a group of new guards from his peers to serve as his guards this month.”
“The lord’s current guards total 178 people, and there is Xin Hengyi’s assistant swordsman, a total of 179 people. This number is absolutely correct, I can guarantee it.”
“So many?” Shilang, who was standing beside him, couldn’t help but let out a slightly timid exclamation.
In the month since Sakakiye joined the team of volunteers, Kurasaemon has never stopped recruiting new volunteers.
But as Kurasaemon had said privately to Sakaki before.
Nowadays, it is very difficult to find powerful warriors who are capable enough and willing to sacrifice their lives to support justice.
Although Kurasaemon never slacked off during this month, he still failed to recruit a new volunteer.
That is to say, in the assassination tomorrow, Sakaki Ye and his companions can only fight with a mere nine people against Sato Yasutomo who is protected by 178 guards…
What’s more, there is also a powerful new Hengyi assistant swordsman.
“You don’t have to be too scared.” Kurasaemon said.
“Among the more than one hundred guards of the lord, most of them have mediocre martial arts skills.”
“Among those 178 people, at least 100 of them are inferior in swordsmanship to the nine of you.”
“The only one who can be considered the biggest trouble is that swordsman.”
“Besides, this is not a battle of eight against one hundred and seventy-nine.”
“The action we are going to carry out tomorrow is not a head-on battle.”
“It’s an assassination.”
“Our goal from the beginning to the end has only been one, and that is the name of Sato Yasuto.”
“We just need to charge in the direction where he is and kill this daimyo. It doesn’t matter whether the rest of the people live or die.”
“Moreover, in terms of equipment, the nine of you are far superior to the lord’s guards.”
After saying that, Kurasaemon looked at Qingyuan beside him.
“Qingyuan, go get all those things up.”
“Yes!” Qingyuan quickly left from everyone’s sight.
Then, he quickly came back with a bunch of things.
Because there were too many things, Qingyuan made three trips back and forth alone before he successfully brought all the “things” that Kurasaemon referred to to Sakaki Ye and others.
The “things” that Kurasaemon was referring to were nine sets of chain mail.
“When the lord goes out hunting, he usually sets out in the morning and returns to the city in the evening. The guards also have to follow him in the wild for a full day.”
Kurasaemon spoke in a deep voice.
“If everyone were to wear chain mail, all the guards would be too tired to stand in less than half a day.”
“So with the lord’s permission, the guards will not wear chain mail when escorting the lord out hunting.”
“You should all wear these nine sets of chain mail tomorrow so that you will be well prepared for the coming battle.” Kurasaemon gently stroked the set of chain mail closest to him.
“It will definitely come in handy.”
“We won’t know exactly how to act tomorrow until we get to the scene. So Ichiro, after the nine of you launch the assault, you will be the overall commander.”
“When to start the attack, who will be the main attacker and who will be the auxiliary attacker – these things are all up to you to decide.”
“Yes!” Ichiro nodded and responded loudly.
As for Kurasaemon, he paused for a while when he said this.
After a while, he spoke again in a faint voice:
“It is now close to the end of the month. According to the Lord’s habit of never going out hunting in autumn and winter, his hunting trip tomorrow will be his last hunting trip this year.”
“Therefore, tomorrow is also our only chance this year…”
“So… tomorrow will determine our future… and the future of the Hime region.”
“I hope everyone will work together.” Kurasaemon took a deep breath, stood up solemnly, and bowed deeply and solemnly to the nine people including Sakaki Ye.
“I also wish you all…good luck in martial arts.”
That day.
Late at night.
Kurasaemon’s room was still brightly lit.
“Master, are you unable to sleep?”
Hearing the shouting, he hesitated for a moment and decided to push the door open. Seeing Kurasaemon holding a wooden sword in his hand, Sakaki raised his eyebrows and asked.
“I really can’t sleep.” Kurasaemon also smiled bitterly when he saw Sakaki Ye.
“I couldn’t sleep anyway, so I thought I might as well practice swordplay.”
“But…” Sakaki Ye cast a helpless look at Kurasaemon.
“The more you practice like this, the more excited you will become, and the more you will find it harder to sleep.” Sakaki Ye said as he walked forward.
He certainly didn’t come to visit me so late at night just because he had nothing to do.
There are some questions that need to be clarified before you officially set off.
“My lord, to be honest… ever since you summoned me to your house and asked me if I wanted to be an ‘executioner’, I have always thought that you are a strange guy.” Sakaki Ye considered his words and finally asked to express the doubts in his heart.
Now, there are only Sakaki Ye and Kurasaemon here, no other outsiders.
Therefore, Sakaki decided to bury the words and questions that he had always wanted to tell Kurasaemon but never had the chance to say deep in his mind.
Let’s talk it all out with Kurasaemon tonight.
“Strange? What place are you referring to?” Kurasaemon was a little confused.
“Master, it’s the same question again. You planned to assassinate Kurasaemon.”
“But you still call the person you want to kill ‘Lord’.”
“It’s like speaking honorifics to the enemy who killed my father, who I’m about to kill. It’s quite weird.”
“So, Elder, why do you still insist on calling Sato Yasuto your Lord? If you put your heart into it, you can correct it, right?”
After hearing Sakaki Ye’s question, Kurasaemon pursed his lips subconsciously.
Then, Kurasaemon silently put the wooden sword in his hand back on the sword rack, then walked beside Sakakiye and sat side by side with Ogata.
“Yeah…” Kurasaemon smiled bitterly.
“Because, even I myself… I feel that I am very contradictory…”
“I clearly wish that Sato Jingyuan would die right now…”
“But I always disobey my orders and use honorifics for him…”
“My determination to uphold justice and the concept of loyalty that I have upheld since I can remember have combined to create the contradictions I have now.”
Kurasaemon’s mouth twitched, revealing an ugly smile.
“I too… after an unimaginable struggle, finally made up my mind to uphold justice…”
“I told myself this countless times in my heart after Sato Yasuto became the Nozomi daimyo and his brutal nature was exposed.”
“‘I am a samurai, I must be loyal to my lord, no matter what ridiculous things my lord does, I cannot be disloyal to him’.”
“I say this sentence countless times in my mind every day…”
“Only in this way can I feel at ease ignoring Sato Yasuto’s atrocities.”
“Until… around the middle of this year… I saw the lord hack a poor little girl to death…”
“From the beginning to the end, the poor little girl did nothing wrong. She just accidentally bumped into Sato Jingyuan’s carriage, and he ordered his men to chop her into two pieces, and then threw her on the side of the road like garbage.”
I just happened to be there at the time.
“I can’t even describe how I felt when I saw the tragic death of this little girl.”
“I only clearly remember a voice ringing loudly in my mind: I can’t bear it anymore.”
Kurasaemon pulled out the katana from his waist.
Then, open the scabbard and slowly pull the blade out of the scabbard.
The unsheathed blade reflected a cold light that just covered Kurasaemon’s pupils, illuminating the gleam of light in Kurasaemon’s eyes.
“At that moment… I finally woke up…”
“I am a warrior, but I am also a man.”
“When the sky falls and the earth breaks, there are always a few men who stand up.”
“If you succumb to darkness and don’t sacrifice yourself for justice, you’ve wasted your life as a man!”
“Sakaki-kun, I’m going to tell you the truth.”
“When I decided to assassinate my lord, I made up my mind – I launched this assassination as a man. In the end, I will end it as a samurai.”
“Whether the assassination succeeds or fails, I will commit seppuku to apologize.”
“Assassinating the lord is for the sake of justice. Committing seppuku to apologize is for the morality of the samurai.”
“Use the blood from my belly to cleanse my soul that has become unclean due to betraying my master.”
After saying that, Kurasaemon slowly put the knife back into the scabbard, causing the cold light that had originally enveloped his eyes to gradually fade away.
Thirty-six Heroes (Old Version)
Early in the morning.
A team of more than two hundred people marched out of Ximei City in a mighty and aggressive manner.
This team was none other than the daimyo Sato Yasuto, who was planning to go to the wild boar forest to hunt.
Accompanying him, in addition to Xin Hengyi’s assistant swordsman and the hundreds of guards, there were also dozens of busy helpers.
Almost at the same time, when Sato Yasutoshi and his group had just left the city, Kurasaemon and his group also began their actions.
Before the action, Kurasaemon gave a large sum of money to Sakaki Ye, Ichiro and others.
This money can be considered as resettlement expenses and… pensions for Sakaki Ye and others.
However, Sakaki Ye has no relatives in the world of One Piece now.
The masters and fellow disciples in the former dojo have all passed away, so he kept the money for the time being.
Everyone accelerated forward.
Secretly following Kurasaemon’s news, he followed closely behind Sato Yasuto’s team.
There are only a few hunting grounds that Sato Jingyuan often goes to.
Therefore, Kurasaemon had long ago asked Qingyuan to scout the hunting grounds that Sato Yasuto often visited.
It was also because of Kurasaemon that Light Monkey was sent to conduct reconnaissance long ago.
Therefore, Kurasaemon and his men knew exactly where the hidden paths and places to stay were in the wild boar forest.
This time, their first destination was an abandoned temple outside the Wild Boar Forest.
We re here. Kurasaemon wiped the sweat from his face, looked at the dilapidated and abandoned ancient temple in front of him, and let out a breath.
The speed of Sato Jingyuan and others was not very fast.
After all, he was the only one who had a horse to ride, and the rest of the people could only walk.
This made the team following Sato Jingyuan move at a speed no different from walking.
Therefore, there was no need for Kurasaemon and his group to follow on horseback.
Moreover, if they rode on horses, the noise would be too loud, which would not be conducive to their tracking.
Therefore, Kurasaemon and his group had to rely entirely on their legs to track.
This is also one of the reasons why Kurasaemon chose this abandoned ancient temple outside the Wild Boar Forest as their first destination.
This allows Sakaki Ye and others to temporarily settle down in this abandoned ancient temple and recover the physical strength lost due to the tracking.
After leading everyone into the ancient temple, Kurasaemon immediately called out to everyone, “Those who feel thirsty, drink water quickly!”
“Those who need to eat should hurry up.”
“If you feel your feet are sore, sit down and rest!”
“Qingyuan, quickly take out the chain mail and give it to everyone!”
“Everyone hurry up and put on your chain mail!”
Last night, Kurasaemon asked Qingyuan to store the chain mail that had been prepared in advance in this abandoned ancient temple overnight.
If Sakaki Ye and others were asked to track Sato Jingyuan while wearing chain mail, it would consume too much of their physical strength.
In order to avoid unnecessary consumption of physical strength, Kurasaemon asked Qingyuan to transport the chain mail equipped by Sakakiye and the other nine people into this abandoned ancient temple overnight.
The next day, they settled down in this abandoned ancient temple and recovered their strength, then took back their chain mail and put it on together.
This is the second reason why Kurasaemon changed his first destination to this abandoned ancient temple.
Qing Yuan took out the chain mail hidden in the wooden floor of the temple one by one and distributed it to Sakaki Ye and others.
After everyone put on their chain mail and checked that there were no problems with their knives, Kurasaemon’s command sounded again.
“Qingyuan, next… let’s proceed according to the original plan.”
“Yes, elder.” Qingyuan smiled at Kurasaemon.
“Then I’ll go ahead.”
After saying that, Qing Yuan rushed out of the ancient temple without looking back.
The light monkey, who is good at stealth, went to scout Sato Jingyuan to see if he had started to rest.
According to Sato Jingyuan’s usual practice when hunting, when he starts to rest, his hundreds of guards will disperse and stand guard in various directions.
In fact, there were not many guards who stayed by Sato Yasuto’s side and accompanied him to rest at all times.
This is their best opportunity to assassinate.
Qing Yuan is constantly monitoring Sato Jingyuan’s current actions.
When Sato Jingyuan began to rest, they quickly returned to the abandoned ancient temple.
Then, Sakaki Ye and others who were preparing in the abandoned ancient temple began to take action.
This is the plan of Kurasaemon and others.
Looking at Qing Yuan’s departing back, Wu Lang couldn’t help but mutter and ask, “Family elder… that Sato Jingyuan is protected by a full one or two hundred samurai…”
“Speaking of which, can Qing Yuan really sneak in and get information…?”
“Don’t worry.” Upon hearing this, Kurasaemon’s mouth corners suddenly twitched, revealing a confident smile.
“Kirusaru is a ninja from a ninja village. Although he is not good at assassination, he is extremely good at stealth and intelligence gathering. He will definitely come back safely.”
Ninja
Sakaki murmured softly.
In the world of One Piece, there are naturally ninjas.
However, it s different from those guys in Naruto.
The real job of a ninja is to work in the shadows as a spy.
They are basically responsible for collecting intelligence, carrying out sabotage and infiltration tactics.
Although their existence is also important.
But after all, it has never stepped onto the stage, nor can it become a national combat force, and can only serve as an auxiliary.
The main fighting force of a country is still the warriors.
At this time, the social structure in Wano Country was actually somewhat similar to that of medieval Europe.
The highest commander is naturally the general of Wano Country.
Then, there are the daimyo of each region, who are similar to princes with titles.
Samurai are analogous to professional soldiers.
In this society, samurai became an important part of the social class by virtue of their military force and personal dependence on the daimyo.
And those ninjas?
Nothing, just an ordinary soldier who is a little bit special.
“Ninja Village?” Goro at the side twisted his tongue and forced himself to say words that he was not used to saying at all.
“It’s a ninja force with a base located in the Kuri area,” Kurasaemon explained.
Sakaki Ye was also a little curious.
Because in the original One Piece world story, the image of “ninja” only appeared around the Wano Country arc.
There aren’t many real characters.
In total, there are only Raizo, Konin, and the thirteen members of the Oniwabanshu.
“Although I don’t know that the ninja village has a long history since its establishment, because they usually act in a low-key manner and never show off, most ordinary samurai and ordinary people don’t know of their existence.” Kurasaemon continued to explain.
“It’s a ninja village…” A hint of longing appeared on Shichiro’s face.
“I wonder if there are any beautiful female ninjas there.”
“You think too much.” Saburo on the side said unhappily.
“Those beautiful female ninjas only exist in the mouths of storytellers. Even if there really are beautiful female ninjas, they won’t be attracted to you.”
The conversation between Qilang and Sanlang is hilarious.
Everyone was amused by the conversation between the two, and the laughter of the others diluted the originally solemn atmosphere.
This period of waiting for Qingyuan was undoubtedly long and torturous.
For Sakaki Ye and his group, this period of time is equivalent to the last bit of time before they die together.
However, they were all prepared.
However, when this moment really came, they couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Sakaki Ye is eating.
He took big bites of the beef.
He wasn’t actually very full.
Don’t eat too much.
Otherwise, it will not be suitable for activities. Being 60% to 70% full is enough.
Moreover, they eat high-calorie meat.
Others were also eating or drinking.
Sweat was constantly oozing out of my hands and feet.
This forced Kurasaemon to wipe the sweat from his palms with his haori every once in a while.
Finally, the voice that Sakaki Ye and his group had been waiting for finally sounded from outside the ancient temple.
“Family elder!”
Qing Yuan shouted as he rushed back into the ancient temple, sweating all over.
“Huff, huff… Sato Jingyuan and the others… are starting to rest! His more than 200 guards have now dispersed.”
“There are only about twenty elite soldiers left around him, as well as guards including Xin Heng Yizhu!”
“These are the maps I just drew. I have marked the location of Sato Yasuto on the map, as well as the best infiltration route!”
After hearing Qingyuan’s words, Sakaki was surprised to find that he hadn’t been so nervous for a long time.
There is a feeling of relief.
As for Kurasaemon, after hearing what Qingyuan said, he just nodded slightly.
Kurasaru. Kurasaemon said softly.
“Take out the drinks and glasses that I asked you to prepare and give them to everyone.”
Last night, Kurasaemon asked Qingyuan to store something in this abandoned ancient temple.
In addition to the nine sets of chain mail, there was also a bottle of sake and eleven wine glasses.
Under Kurasaemon’s order, Qingyuan handed the sake glasses to Sakaki Ye and others in turn.
The wine is good wine.
As Qing Yuan just unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle, the sweet aroma of wine spread out, filling every corner of the abandoned ancient temple.
Similarly, Kurasaemon, holding a wine glass full of wine, stood in front of Sakaki Ye and others.
Everyone.
Kurasaemon’s voice was a little low.
“Sasaru and I have done everything we could…”
“The rest…I’ll leave it to you!”
“Qing Yuan and I will be waiting here for your victory news!”
“I wish you…good luck in martial arts!”
After saying that, Kurasaemon drank the wine in the glass in his hand, then threw it to the ground with force, making a loud cracking sound.
And the moment Kurasaemon finished drinking the wine in his glass, Sakakiye and the other nine people also raised their glasses.
Just like Kurasaemon did just now, drink up the wine in the glass and then smash it to pieces.
Come on, everyone!
Kurasaemon and Kyosaru looked at each other and watched Sakaki and his group leave.
In later generations, during the peaceful and prosperous times, the people were prosperous, well-fed and well-clothed, and enjoyed the natural beauty.
All living beings are immersed in material desires, or are living a mediocre life, or are born and die the same day, trapped in a corner or area, and content with being ordinary.
However, no matter what era, there are always people who go against the tide, defy the trend of the times, fight for miracles, and risk their lives.
Like a bright lamp in the dark night, like the stars in the sky, they add different colors to this mottled world.
Such people are called people with lofty ideals.
Thirty-seven touched Sato Yasuto (old version)
The wild boar forest in the early morning should have been a quiet place.
However, today’s Wild Boar Forest has become unusually noisy due to the arrival of a group of uninvited guests.
Sato Jingyuan, who had just successfully hunted a wild deer with a bow and arrow with the help of his swordsmen and a group of helpers, was sitting contentedly next to a big rock.
While taking sips of the tea that had just been specially prepared by the helpers below.
At the same time, he casually said to Xin Hengyizhu who was standing next to him: “Haha, today is a good start.”
Shinheng Yizhu nodded.
This powerful swordsman seemed to have gotten used to Sato Yasutoshi’s personality.
At this moment, there are only about twenty elite soldiers around Sato Jingyuan, standing around him, as well as the swordsman Xin Hengyi.
The rest of the guards had dispersed over a wider area, guarding every direction to see if there were any thieves or wild animals approaching.
“ha “
In the distance, a bearded swordsman yawned loudly, then said to a slightly fat companion standing next to him, “It’s so boring. How long have we been standing here?”
This bearded swordsman and the fat swordsman are also among the many guards under Sato Jingyuan.
After Sato Jingyuan and his twenty elite soldiers began to rest in the back, they dispersed together and guarded all directions.
The location that the two of them were responsible for guarding was somewhere southwest of Sato Yasuto.
After listening to the bearded swordsman’s complaints, the fat swordsman couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
He just took a quick look at the sky, and then continued, “It should be a few incense sticks of time…”
As soon as the fat warrior finished speaking, the bearded swordsman couldn’t help but sigh: “I don’t understand…what is there to be wary of?”
“There’s no way those wild animals would get close to a place with so many people. There’s no need to be on guard against wild animals.”
“We are mainly on guard against assassins.” The fat swordsman said with a wry smile.
“Assassin?” The bearded swordsman sneered.
“Who has the ability to assassinate a daimyo who is protected by hundreds of samurai like us?”
“That’s right.” After saying that, the fat swordsman adjusted his stance so that he could take a lazy rest, and then continued, “But there are always unexpected events in the world, right?”
“Stop talking nonsense and be on guard. If the adults find out that you are not taking your guard seriously, you will never be forgiven.”
When the bearded swordsman heard the word “sir” from the fat swordsman, his shoulders shrank and a hint of fear appeared on his face.
Even his subordinates kept their distance from the cruel daimyo Sato Yasuto.
“Oh, forget it, let’s not talk about this for now. Just keep an eye on it for me. I’m going to take a piss over there and I’ll be back soon.”
“Well, go and come back quickly. If the adults find out that you have left your post and actually took the time to go pee, they might just kill you with a sword.”
“I know. I will empty my bladder quickly.” The bearded swordsman quickly went to a big tree not far away to relieve himself.
The fat swordsman continued to hold the samurai sword at his waist and looked around.
Because the bearded swordsman had gone to the bathroom, the fat swordsman’s ears were suddenly free.
Just as the fat swordsman was reveling in the long-lost tranquility, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the bearded swordsman.
Brother, you ? The fat swordsman turned his head and cast a puzzled look at the bearded swordsman.
“What s wrong with you?”
Originally, the bearded swordsman, who was supposed to be peeing while standing facing the tree trunk, now knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed against the tree trunk.
“Brother? Brother?” The fat swordsman called out several times in a row, but got no response from the bearded swordsman.
The fat swordsman, feeling an ominous premonition, tensed his muscles and walked slowly towards the bearded swordsman.
After coming to the side of the bearded swordsman, the fat swordsman’s eyes immediately widened in horror.
The bearded swordsman was lying on the ground with his carotid artery cut open.
Large streams of blood were gushing out from his cut wound.
Soon it was soaked, staining all the clothes of the bearded swordsman below the neck red.
Anyone with a little common sense can see that the bearded swordsman is now dead.
The bearded swordsman, whose throat was cut, had his eyes still wide open.
The bearded swordsman’s eyes, which had lost their luster, still retained a hint of fear and confusion.
Looking at the bearded swordsman who died in a tragic way with his eyes open, the fat swordsman immediately felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground.
However, the fat swordsman is a strong swordsman after all.
But he still reacted quickly and steady his body which almost fell to the ground.
“Yes…” The fat swordsman immediately opened his mouth and shouted loudly.
However… before the fat swordsman could shout “Something’s happening!”, he felt an extremely powerful hand reaching out from behind him.
And directly, he covered his mouth tightly, preventing him from making any sound.
Then, the fat swordsman felt a sharp blade approaching his neck and then slashing it fiercely.
After feeling something sharp quickly scratching his neck, the fat swordsman immediately felt a sharp pain in the place where he was scratched by the weapon!
Although because of the perspective, the fat swordsman could not see the condition of his neck.
However, the fat swordsman was sure that his neck was cut open by the sharp blade.
Warm blood must have gushed out of the wound on the neck like a fountain.
The strong desire to survive caused amazing power to burst out from the fat swordsman’s body.
He began to struggle frantically!
However, the man standing behind the fat swordsman and restraining him was also very strong.
The opponent was in a preemptive situation, and no matter how the fat swordsman struggled, he could not break free from the control, let alone make a sound.
After a few seconds, the fat swordsman’s strength slowly weakened.
The unwilling look in his pupils slowly dissipated.
Finally, his hands dropped limply and he stopped struggling.
The person standing behind the fat swordsman and slitting his throat was none other than Sakaki Ye.
After making sure that the fat swordsman was completely dead, Sakaki Ye gently laid him flat on the ground.
Shakes his arms.
He wiped away the blood on the wakizashi that he had used to cut the necks of the bearded swordsman and the fat swordsman, and put the sword back into the scabbard.
Then, Sakaki Ye drew out the katana from the fat samurai and continued to walk slowly towards a swordsman who was yawning with his back to him not far in front of him.
The two swords currently worn on Sakakiye’s waist are exactly the precious swords that Kurasaemon prepared for him.
Although it is a precious sword, no matter how precious it is, it is still a consumable.
It is neither the Twelve Techniques of the Supreme Great Sword nor the Twenty-One Techniques of the Great Sword.
Even, as the most powerful among the nine people, Sakaki Ye, the only one who wields the excellent and fast sword Fifty Work–Qingming.
Therefore, it is very necessary to reduce the wear and tear of your knife as much as possible.
Depend on the enemy for food.
Fight to support war.
Borrow the enemy’s knife.
It is also an extremely useful method to reduce the loss of your own tools.
Sakaki continued to crouch, lower his body, and tightly grasp the katana of the fat samurai.
Step by step, he approached the warrior who still had his back to him.
He stretched out his hand and covered the swordsman’s mouth, then used the sword in his right hand to slash the carotid artery in the opponent’s neck.
After laying the completely soundless swordsman in his arms flat on the ground, Sakaki turned around and made a gesture behind him.
As soon as Sakakiye put down his gesturing hand, Ichiro and others immediately flashed out from the bushes not far away.
“According to the map given by Qingyuan, we should be almost reaching Sato Yasuto’s location…” Ichiro said in a deep voice.
As soon as Qingyuan discovered Sato Jingyuan’s location, he conducted the most thorough investigation.
Not only is it marked on the map, but his location is also marked.
He also drew out the easiest route for everyone to sneak in.
Moreover, Qingyuan’s drawing skills are quite advanced.
Even people who have little experience in reading maps can easily understand the map drawn by Qingyuan.
The infiltration process was much simpler than Sakaki Ye had imagined.
The reason was that Sato Yasutoshi’s guards were too lax.
Almost everyone believed in their hearts that it was impossible for Hime Daimyo Sato Yasuto to encounter any danger.
Therefore, one by one, no one cared much about the alert mission.
Some were in a daze, some suddenly slipped away to relieve themselves, and some even fell asleep.
Thanks to these lax guards, Sakaki Ye and others were able to infiltrate extremely smoothly.
Sakaki Ye still held the sword he had just snatched from the fat swordsman in his hand. He hid in a dense bush with the others and continued to move forward.
There are large areas of bushes in the wild boar forest.
These dense bushes also provided considerable help to Sakaki Ye and others in their stealth movement.
Just at this moment.
“stop.”
Ichiro, who was walking in front, stopped and signaled everyone behind him to stop.
He originally thought that there was another swordsman on guard ahead.
But who would have thought that Ichiro in front of him said in a deep voice: “…We have already met…Sato Yasuto…”
Hearing Ichiro’s words, the pupils of Sakaki Ye and others shrank slightly at the same time.
Sakaki Ye continued to crouch down, moved forward a few steps, and quickly came to Ichiro’s side.
Pinch two fingers and use them to open a gap in the bushes in front of you.
Through this gap, Sakaki Ye clearly saw that in the open space outside the bushes where they were hiding, Sato Jingyuan was sitting on a rock drinking hot tea with a leisurely look on his face.
Just as Qingyuan said.
At this moment, there were only twenty swordsmen, including Ichisuke Shinken, guarding Sato Yasuto.
Even the positions of the twenty swordsmen were scattered.
There were only five swordsmen on their side!
There were only two swordsmen beside Sato Yasuto!
Ichiro. Sakaki Ye couldn t help but speak in a deep voice.
“What should we do?”
As soon as Sakaki Ye finished speaking, everyone else, including Sakaki Ye, focused their attention on Ichiro.
Kurasaemon had already clearly confirmed this at last night’s combat meeting.
This time, Ichiro will be the commander-in-chief after the operation begins. After entering the wild boar forest, Sakaki Ye and others must obey Ichiro’s command.
The appointment made by Kurasaemon was not groundless.
Because Ichiro was originally one of Kurasaemon’s staff, and was a rare talent who was both literary and martial.
It is indeed quite appropriate to entrust the task of front-line command to Ichiro.
Looking at Sato Yasuto who was still leisurely sipping tea outside, and Shinsei Ichisuke and others beside him, Ichiro was silent for a long time before finally speaking: “… Jiulang, are you sure you can kill the two swordsmen standing in front of Sato Yasuto as quickly as possible?”
Sakaki looked at the position of the two warriors, nodded and replied: “I am absolutely sure.”
“Okay then.” Ichiro said in a deep voice.
“Ichisuke Shintsune is undoubtedly the most threatening person… So, everyone except Shichiro and Hachiro who will cooperate with Jiulang in the sudden action, including myself, the rest of you should go to intercept him.”
“I don’t expect to cause any harm to Xin Heng Yizhu, as long as I can delay him, that will be enough.”
Ichiro and his men attached the highest importance to the famous swordsman, Shinheng Yisuke.
They didn’t even think about killing each other. All they needed to do was to delay the opponent and buy time for Sakaki Ye to deliver the fatal blow.
“And Shichiro and Hachiro are responsible for stopping the reinforcements approaching Sato Yasuto from other directions, and Jiulang, you will be responsible for dealing with the other two swordsmen.” Ichiro continued to assign the tasks.
“At the same time… you are also responsible for beheading Sato Yasuto.”
“Until you succeed in beheading Sato Jingyuan, we will definitely hold the others back.”
I see. Sakaki nodded and responded softly.
“Good plan.”
Thirty-eight Raids (Old Version)
In a sense, the plan formulated by Ichiro is actually a variation of the “Tian Ji Horse Racing” tactic.
The six people including Ichiro, who belonged to the middle horse, were going to hold back Xinheng Yizhu, who belonged to the upper horse.
Qichilang and Balang blocked the others.
Sakaki Ye, the top horse, took advantage of the fact that the others were delayed to eliminate the enemy’s middle and lower horses, as well as their ultimate target, Daimyo Sato Yasuto.
Therefore, the other patriots also gave their approval to this plan, nodded in agreement, and expressed their appreciation for Ichiro’s plan.
“Okay, since everyone agrees with my plan.” Ichiro pondered for a moment and slightly raised the thumb of his left hand that was resting on the scabbard.
The sharp sword was quickly pulled out of his scabbard.
“Then, when I count to three, we will start together…” Taking a deep breath, Ichiro looked at everyone for the last time.
“Everyone except Qilang, Balang and Jiulang, follow me closely.”
“Jiulang, your mission is to rush straight towards Sato Jingyuan without hesitation. No matter what happens on our side, you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Jiulang…I’ll leave everything to you…” After a pause, Ichiro looked at Sakaki Ye with a serious expression.
Ichisuke Nihiro is a famous swordsman and a well-deserved master of swordsmanship.
The six of them were ready to fight to the death, using their lives and property to delay until Sakaki Ye had the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and assassinate the emperor.
Yes, fighting with your life at stake is just a way to delay the opponent.
The gap between a swordsman and a swordsman is still somewhat obvious.
I understand. Sakaki Ye also took a deep breath, nodded, and tightened the katana in his hand.
“Sato Yasuto, leave it to me…”
He also knew the weight of Ichiro and the others’ words.
However, he had no other choice.
Sakaki Ye was also unable to undermine the confidence of the swordsman Shin Heng Yisuke, so in order to ensure that the assassination was foolproof, he had no choice but to agree.
All he could do was not to let down the opportunity that Ichiro and the others had fought for with their lives.
As for whether or not they will fail, whether or not they will die
We can only leave it to fate.
Man proposes, God disposes.
At the same time, the others also pulled out their katana from their scabbards.
This was the last calm before the assault.
Bang bang bang.
Everyone, at the same time, tightly grasped the hilt of the knife with their right hand, letting their hearts beat wildly and sweat pour out.
Everyone has a tacit understanding.
Next, the most brutal battle.
It will definitely explode completely at that moment!
“three “
Ichiro, who had already started counting down, tightly gripped the hilt of the knife in his hand.
“two “
Everyone started to put their strength into their hind legs at the same time.
“one!”
Ichiro raised his head and howled.
The last “one” that came out of his mouth was in the form of a direct roar.
This momentum seemed to pour all the strength in the body into this roar.
rush!
As Ichiro roared, everyone kicked their hind legs and rushed out of the bushes like an arrow.
Ichiro and the others rushed in the direction of Shin Heng Yi Zu Jian Hao.
Sakaki Ye rushed straight towards Sato Yasuto.
Shichiro and Hachiro, one on the left and one on the right, followed closely behind.
Just after Sakaki Ye and his group rushed out of the bushes, Sato Jingyuan, who was resting, and Shin Heng Yisuke and others beside him, were stunned.
Then…Xin Heng Yizhu was the first to react.
“There’s an assassin! Protect the lord!” While shouting, he drew the katana from his waist.
Sakaki Ye ignored what was happening behind him.
He soon heard the sound of metal clashing not far from him.
He knew that this was the sound of fighting between Ichiro and others and Shinheng Yisuke.
However, from beginning to end, Sakaki Ye did not go to watch the battle between Ichiro and others.
His eyes were fixed firmly on Sato Jingyuan from beginning to end!
Qilang and Balang had also stayed behind to stop the other five swordsmen.
At this time, there were two swordsmen guarding Sato Yasutoshi.
When Shintsune Ichisuke was stopped by Ichiro and others, and when Shichiro and Hachiro intercepted the other swordsmen, Sato Yasuto was left with only these two swordsmen!
kill!
The two swordsmen drew their swords without hesitation and rushed towards Sakaki Ye.
From beginning to end, Sakaki Ye never stopped and slowly lowered his body’s center of gravity.
Raise your left hand, press the part of the scabbard close to the guard, straighten your thumb and press it against the guard.
Push forward with force, and push the blade out of the sheath about an inch.
Clank, clank, clank
At the same time, Sakaki Ye exerted force with his right arm and pulled the knife out of the sheath inch by inch, making a crisp sound like raindrops hitting stone.
A light reminiscent of a solar halo emanates from the unsheathed blade!
A cold flash of knife light appeared.
Flash again!
With two simple and sharp strikes, the two swordsmen were killed instantly.
Too strong.
As Sakaki Ye adapted to one-on-many combat, his combat power increased sharply.
These two swordsmen were unable to even slow down Sakaki Ye’s pace by a bit.
After killing the two swordsmen, Sakaki Ye successfully rushed to Sato Yasuto.
“Go to hell!” Sakaki Ye stretched out his arms with all his strength.
He stabbed the sharp tip of the knife straight into the chest of Sato Jingyuan, who still had a dazed look on his face!
The feeling of the sharp blade entering the flesh was transmitted from the handle to Sakaki’s palm.
However… Sakaki Ye’s knife did not pierce Sato Yasuto’s heart.
Instead, it stabbed the chest of a young man who was serving Sato Jingyuan.
At that moment, one of the nearest hangers-on rushed over and pushed Sato Jingyuan away, trying to block the knife.
It was precisely because of this hanger-on’s blocking of the knife that all of Sakaki Ye’s stabbing attacks missed.
“My lord… run away…” The hanger-on muttered while spitting blood foam.
“Damn it…!” Sakaki Ye hurriedly pushed aside the brainwashed hanger-on who didn’t know whether to praise his loyalty or criticize his foolish loyalty, along with his knife, and immediately drew the knife from his waist.
Just now, the knife he used was the one he got from the fat warrior.
After discarding this knife, Sakaki still has his own knife at his waist to use.
I could hear shouting and footsteps approaching from afar at a very fast speed around me.
This was the sound of Sato Yasuto’s guards rushing back to defend.
From the mouth of Shin Hengyisuke, he began to shout, “There is an assassin! Protect the lord!!”
Up to now, more than ten seconds have passed.
This seemingly short period of time was enough for some guards who were closer to Sato Yasuto to return in time.
Not daring to hesitate any longer, Sakaki Ye quickly drew out his katana, raised it high, and chopped down.
A second attack was launched on Sato Yasuto, who was still sitting there.
The sharp blade, carrying strong wind and huge power, whizzed towards Sato Jingyuan’s head…
Then, there was a deafening sound of metal clashing.
“What ?!”
Sakaki’s eyes suddenly widened.
When his knife was only a fist’s distance away from Sato Yasuto’s head, it was blocked by a knife that stretched out from his right side.
The person who blocked Sakaki Ye’s sword was the one who was supposed to be entangled, Shin Heng Yisuke!
At this time, Shinheng Ichisuke was resting his left shoulder on Sakaki Ye’s right shoulder.
Holding the knife in his left hand, Jishin Hengyi extended the knife forward with his right side and blocked the timely blow with the back of the knife before Sakaki Ye’s knife could officially hit Sato Jingyuan’s head.
“Hmph!” Sakaki Ye snorted coldly, then suddenly pushed to the left, knocking away the person standing on his left.
After quickly increasing the distance between himself and Sakaki Ye, he swung the knife towards Sakaki Ye’s neck.
Sakaki Ye raised the knife in his hand and accurately blocked the knife of Shinken Ichisuke.
While blocking the knife of Xin Heng Yizhu, Sakaki Ye was also anxiously thinking in his heart: Damn it! Why is Xin Heng Yizhu here?
He had a bad feeling.
While Sakaki Ye was shouting anxiously in his heart, he quickly glanced at the place where Ichiro and others had just fought with Shinken Ichisuke.
At that place, only the bodies of Ichiro and six others were left.
The six people, led by Ichiro, who were responsible for entanglement with Shinheng Yisuke, are now all dead!
That s too exaggerated, it only took a dozen seconds!
However, the sharp-eyed Sakaki Ye noticed that the way Ichiro and the other six died was very strange.
Only Erlang, Wulang and Liulang were stabbed in the neck or face and were killed in one blow.
Ichiro, Saburo, and Siro all had no knife wounds on their bodies.
Instead, there was a thin object inserted into the throat.
Those were thin arrows that were not even as long as an adult’s little finger.
After pushing Sakaki Ye away and slashing at him but being blocked by Sakaki Ye with his backhand, Shin Heng Yisuke did not pursue him, but quickly pulled up Sato Jingyuan and retreated rapidly.
“Protect the lord! Protect the lord!!” At this moment, his voice was loud enough to give people the illusion that it could be heard throughout the Wild Boar Forest.
At this time, a large number of guards had already rushed back.
These guards who ran out from all over the forest were like small streams, shouting and converging towards Sato Yasuto and Shin Heng Yizhu.
In a blink of an eye, more than forty guards gathered around Sato Jingyuan, and the number was still increasing at an alarming rate.
When the lord was attacked, all the guards ran back like crazy.
“Wait a minute!”
Sakaki gritted his teeth, picked up his sword and prepared to chase after Shinichi Ichisuke and Sato Yasuto.
However… Sakaki Ye had just taken two steps forward when five swordsmen came towards him from five different directions.
“Get out of my way!”
Sakaki Ye swung the knife in his hand, his figure flashed, and five knife lights were drawn out in an instant.
Using the Ittoryu sword technique, he took care of the five swordsmen who came towards him one by one, killing them all with one strike.
Before Sakaki Ye could turn his gaze back to Sato Jingyuan, three more guards came towards him roaring.
Three more knife lights flashed, and three more corpses appeared on the ground.
“That’s it!”
At this moment, the loud shouting from the opposite side reached Sakaki Ye’s ears.
Sakaki Ye looked in the direction of the voice…
However, after seeing the scene in front of the voice, Sakaki Ye’s pupils shrank uncontrollably.
Because, around Sato Yasutoshi, there were already densely packed swordsmen standing.
The eight warriors just now only held Sakaki Ye back for less than eight seconds from beginning to end.
But it was precisely this less than eight seconds, plus the more than ten seconds wasted when Sakaki and others rushed out of the bushes and when Sakaki’s first assassination attempt failed.
In total, it was only about twenty seconds, which was enough for the guards scattered around to rush back to Sato Jingyuan.
Although a small group of Sato Yasutoshi’s guards had been successfully killed just now and when they sneaked in, according to the information collected by Kurasaemon, there were as many as 178 guards of Sato Yasutoshi.
Therefore, even though a group of Sato Jingyuan’s guards had just been killed, there were still hundreds of guards around Sato Jingyuan.
At this time, hundreds of guards drew their swords and firmly guarded Sato Yasutoshi and Shinkenga Ichisuke, forming a “circle” with Sato Yasutoshi and Shinkenga Ichisuke as the center.
Ichisuke Shinheng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Sakaki Ye.
“I’ve seen the sword technique you used just now… It’s Gong Er’s Itto-ryu, right…”
“You have a long haircut… and you use Gong Er Ittoryu… Heh, I know who you are.”
“You are Sakaki Ye from the Gong Er Sword Hall, right?”
“The person who obtained the Menkyo Kaiden of Gong Er Ittoryu more than a month ago.”
“Are you here to avenge your master and your fellow apprentices this time?”
“How stupid!”
“Put down the knife!”
“Just put the knife down and I can try to plead for you!”
Sakaki Ye ignored the noisy Shinkenichisuke.
Instead, he turned his gaze slightly and looked at the bodies of Ichiro and others not far away from him.
If Ichiro and the others could help him hold back Shinken Ichisuke for even one more second, Sato Yasutoshi would have been killed.
However, Sakaki had no intention of blaming Ichiro and the others.
Because he knew that Ichiro and others must have tried their best.
Although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I saw the battle between Ichiro and others.
But Sakaki Ye is sure that Ichiro and others who have given up their own future in order to kill Sato Yasuto will definitely fight with Shin Heng Yisuke, whose realm is far above them, just to help Sakaki Ye buy as much time as possible.
What a pity.
Success is at hand!
