The Sword Gate Sect has a history of nearly 150 years in Japan. Since the founding of the sect by the "Sword God" Taro Hase, there have been nine sect masters, many of whom are master-level masters who can compete with the top swordsmen in China.

.

Fujiwara Keihiro showed outstanding talent in swordsmanship as early as a child and was selected as the next generation successor of the Sword Sect. He was obsessed with swordsmanship, and until the Sword Sect was defeated by the Xuanzang sect, he always concentrated on practicing swordsmanship and did not care about worldly affairs. He did not

Not living up to his talent, even his uncle Matsuoka Morimasa, who started training seventeen years before him, lost more than he won when competing with him. It can be said that he is a martial arts wizard that has been rare in Japan for decades.

After he and Matsuoka Morimasa were exiled to the sea, he always relied on the Ghost Dragon and the Dragon Blood Fire Thunder to defeat the enemy. In recent years, he rarely fought against people in person. Now that he was forced into a desperate situation by Lan Qiao, he had the soul of a warrior that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

, can't help but burn like the sky-burning karma fire on Longjian Mountain again.

The pine pattern sword is the sword of Taro Hase, the founder of the Kenmen sect. It passed through the hands of generations of Kenmen sect masters and finally passed to the hands of Fujiwara Kagehiro. It was regarded as a treasure by Fujiwara Kagehiro. Although it has not been unsheathed for several years, it has

Always carry it with you.

"It's time." Fujiwara Kagehiro glanced at Matsuoka Morimasa, slowly drew out the pine pattern sword, and approached the blue bridge step by step.

Matsuoka Morimasa understood, and also pulled out a strange long sword with a slightly slanted blade, and in coordination with him from another angle, almost simultaneously with Fujiwara Kagehiro, he rushed towards the blue bridge.

The two of them had such a tacit understanding many years ago that they remained calm in the face of the siege by the masters of the Xuanzang sect and escaped from the disaster of annihilation.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, the Jianmen Sect is not inferior to the Central Plains Sword Sect. Even seventy-six years ago, their sect leader Endo Ichiro went to the Central Plains to challenge and even defeated Dou Mu, the leader of Huashan at the time, in one move. Afterwards,

Dou Mu left Huashan angrily and passed the position of head to his eldest disciple Jin Zining, who would later become Shen Xinliu's mentor.

So when Fujiwara Kagehiro and Matsuoka Morimasa used the swordsmanship with a long history of swordsmanship at the same time, even top masters like Ye Wen and Murong Ying had to deal with it with all their strength, let alone Lan Qiao, who knew very little about Japanese martial arts?

Therefore, facing the sword light that flashed from the hands of Fujiwara and Matsuoka, and the heavy murderous intent that preceded the sword light, Lan Qiao's first thought was: he underestimated the strength of his opponent.

The reason why he dared to intercept and kill Fujiwara Kagehiro here alone was because he thought that Fujiwara Kagehiro's skill should be similar to that of Yoshikawa Souichi and Okazaki Zaemon, who were both from the Kenmen Sect but were defeated by him, even if they were stronger, they would not be the same.

After passing too many levels, he didn't realize how wrong he was until Fujiwara Keihiro's pine pattern sword was right in front of him.

The swordsmanship of the Jianmen Sect focuses on momentum and pursues absolute speed and power at the same time. There are not many dazzling feints and changes, and there are no dense and complicated defensive positions. Every time you attack, you always use your all, even if you can't win with one blow, usually

It can also make the opponent unable to fight back, and eventually be overwhelmed by the gradually accumulating momentum.

Fujiwara Kagehiro had not made a move for several years, but when he did, he used his sect's secret skill "Crane Spreading Wings". The pine pattern sword made two undulations like flying birds, and stabbed Lan Qiao's throat from an angle unimaginable to ordinary people.

Morimasa Matsuoka and Kagehiro Fujiwara have been working together for many years, and they quickly bullied Ahmashi to his side, slashed hard with their swords, and struck Ahmashi's left ribs with their long swords.

The two of them seemed to have forgotten the urgency of escaping for a moment, and regarded killing Lan Qiao as their top priority at the moment.

Lan Qiao knows that when fighting against such an opponent, he must not have any distracting thoughts in his heart. If he only thinks about delaying time, he may not be able to stop him with ten moves. He must completely put aside the outcome of life and death before he can concentrate with absolute concentration.

Find life in it.

His flowing light sword swung forward without retreating. The moment he dodged Matsuoka Morimasa's long sword, he also crashed into the shadow of Fujiwara Kagehiro's sword. The flowing light sword was so wonderful that it landed on the tip of the Matsumon sword.

The two of them were shocked at the same time, and then passed each other.

Lan Qiao had to make a new assessment of Fujiwara Kagehiro, because not only did this man find a new way in swordsmanship, but his skill was not inferior to the masters such as Xu Wuchen Border City Arrow he had encountered in the Central Plains.

Matsuoka Morimasa threw his sword into the air, and immediately turned around to pursue again. His long sword passed by Fujiwara Kagehiro and stabbed Aimiao on the right shoulder.

This is their common method of joint combat. When Fujiwara Keihiro has just fought with Aimiao, Matsuoka Morimasa quickly takes over. This not only gives Fujiwara Keihiro time to regain his breath, but also further oppresses the opponent.

.

Lan Qiao had not recovered from the confrontation with Fujiwara Keihiro, and his right arm was numb. Seeing Matsuoka Morimasa's long sword attack, he hurriedly turned around and pressed the dagger hidden in his left sleeve against Matsuoka Morimasa.

On the political sword.

With the sound of "ding", Matsuoka Morimasa was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that there was a soldier hidden in Lan Qiao's sleeve. Then he shouted again and stabbed Lan Qiao's arms with his long sword.

At the same time, Fujiwara Kagehiro, who had already adjusted his breath, struck again. This time, the pine pattern sword made three undulations. Each time it made a undulation, the speed increased by one point, and finally struck at the back of Lanqiao's neck like a bird pecking.

.

Lan Qiao took half a step away and used "Xia Man Dongfang". Although he barely blocked the sword moves of the two men, he was shocked by the zhenqi on their swords as if he had been hit by two heavy punches. He staggered and could not retreat.

Xiaman Dongfang is good at resisting attacks from multiple angles and all directions, but it is not very effective against attacks concentrated on one point. Because the moves themselves consume a lot of power, it is difficult to fully resist the attacker's energy coming from one point.

The mountain fire gradually burned up.

"Young Master, let's go, leave this kid alone, there is no need to die with him." Matsuoka Morimasa saw that the blue bridge had retreated to the entrance of the cave, and advised Fujiwara Kagehiro.

Fujiwara Keihiro also knew that if the mountain fire burned up the cliff, they would all be buried here, so he snorted and walked towards the cliff first.

Lan Qiao saw that the two of them wanted to leave, so he suppressed the zhenqi that was still surging in his meridians. He moved Xiyue Wuyun with his Liuguang Sword. He followed the sword and suddenly increased his speed. Halfway through, Lan Qiao changed his move into steaming clouds and rosy clouds, creating a wonderful line.

The arc struck Fujiwara Kagehiro's lower back.

At this time, he had completely disregarded life and death. He only knew that if the master and servant of the "dragon" were allowed to leave, thousands of people along the southeast coast would never have peace.

Fujiwara Keihiro and Matsuoka Morimasa turned around at the same time, using both swords to force Aimiao back. However, when they were about to climb off the cliff again, Aimiao clung to them like gummy candy, chasing the two of them to fight.

The north cliff is steep. If you want to climb down, even an expert has to be extremely careful. How can you allow the enemy to wait on your side?

The three of them pulled and pulled several times and saw the mountain fire getting closer and closer. Fujiwara Kagehiro finally realized that Aimiao wanted to risk his life and dragged them until the mountain fire burned up the north cliff.

With a ferocious face and a hoarse voice, he said to Matsuoka Morimasa: "Kill this kid first, otherwise none of us will be able to leave."

Matsuoka Morimasa responded yes, and turned around to kill at Lanqiao. Fujiwara Kagehiro once again used the unique skill of the Kenmen Sect. In the gap between Matsuoka Morimasa's moves, he used his sword like the wind, and killed him with extremely sharp sword moves.

Lanqiao was tired of coping and was surrounded by dangers for a while.

Lan Qiao fought and retreated, but suddenly felt a blazing heat behind him. It turned out that the mountain fire had burned to the open space on the cliff, and spread into a sea of ​​​​fire behind him, leaving him with no way to retreat.

Screwed up.

This was Lan Qiao's new idea at this moment, and even he himself found it a bit funny. He was originally a hunter, but because he underestimated the enemy's strength, he was forced into a desperate situation by his prey.

Behind him was a blazing "wall of fire". In front of him, Fujiwara Kagehiro and Matsuoka Morimasa were getting closer and closer. Even if he promised to let them leave now, the other party would not agree.

They will only use all their strength in the next few moves to kill themselves or at least beat them to the point of being unable to move, and then leave before the mountain fire devours the entire North Cliff.

But is he willing to surrender to fate?

So what if he doesn't accept his fate? Does he still have a chance to turn defeat into victory? With what he is like now?

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking an unrelated person, and scenes of past events flew through his mind.

From the first time he learned to hold a sword, he looked back on his short life in a flash. Thinking that he had saved the day in dangerous situations many times, he couldn't help but feel regretful that he had "badly played a good game of chess" today.

The tongues of fire behind him were getting closer and closer, constantly licking the blade of the shining sword. The dry and hot air burned the corners of his clothes and hair. The hair of Fujiwara Kagehiro danced wildly in front of him, turning into a blur of black.

The shadow, against the backdrop of flames, looks like the reincarnation of Shura.

He recalled the scene when he and Feng Yeling parted ways in the village a few hours ago. At that time, Feng Yeling looked calm, as if she had never thought that that might be the last time she looked at Lan Qiao.

Then he thought of Bai Xueyin again, and the difficult days when he and she went to Hexi and were trapped in the treasure.

Sorry to disappoint you, my good junior sister.

Then Li Jingshu and Hua Yuxi entered his mind respectively. The two figures gradually came closer, and finally overlapped in one place. They were so far away and so close that it was difficult to distinguish. She danced gracefully among the mountains and forests with light steps, and her toes lifted.

The rising water splashes reflect the dazzling sunlight like pearls.

Because thousands of miles away, someone is waiting for your return.

He thought of her gift words, and his heart suddenly stirred, as if he was making a final resistance to the arrangement of fate. At the same time, a wonderful phantom appeared in front of his eyes. The half volume of "The Ten Directions of Void" taken from the Xixia treasure was like an invisible hand.

His hands moved, turning page after page before his eyes.

Although Lan Qiao had already memorized this half volume of secrets, he still had only a partial understanding of many of the sentences in it. Apart from understanding the luck secrets of the "Qi Excitation Technique", he had never benefited from it.

However, at this moment, a quote from Lao Tzu recorded in the secret book "The Ten Directions of Ashes" suddenly stopped in front of his eyes.

Between the heaven and the earth, it is like a chariot (tuo2yue4)? It is empty and unyielding, and it gets stronger when it moves.

He still didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, let alone its connection with martial arts. At this moment, he was holding the hot flowing light sword, and felt that all the energy in his body was drained by a strange force, and then there was a strange feeling.

came from underfoot.

It felt like he had stepped into water, and the cool water flowed all the way up his legs, moistening his whole body and then entering his heart and lungs.

He was so suffocated that he could only vaguely see the shining light on the shining sword, which was so bright that it was dazzling.

Suddenly, he felt a tremor, and the strange light on the shining sword broke out of the sword, shooting towards the figure in front of him like lightning piercing the night sky.

After a loud noise, the sword light disappeared, and Lan Qiao woke up, no longer feeling the sense of emptiness and depression he had just felt.

With a "clang", Matsuoka Morimasa's long sword fell to the ground. He put his head in his hands and pulled his hair desperately while looking at everything in front of him in disbelief, looking at "Fujiwara Keihiro" who fell to the ground.

Lan Qiao looked along his gaze, but where could he see the shape of a human being?

Where Fujiwara Keihiro fell, there was clearly only a piece of burnt black coal left.

Looking at my feet again, I saw that within a few steps, the flowers were withered and the weeds were withered. Even the snakes, rats and mosquitoes driven out of the forest by the wildfire seemed to have their vitality drained out in an instant, and they died everywhere.

Lan Qiao's eyes turned to Matsuoka Morimasa again, as if he wanted to ask him what happened just now.

Matsuoka Morimasa didn't say a word, only opened his mouth in fear, looked at Lan Qiao as if he saw a ghost, and kept backing away as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
