The small dojo downstairs was originally used by Yishin to teach Wei Mingzhong's martial arts. Since Yishin became seriously ill, no one has used it for a long time.
Even so, the hawks still kept the small dojo in good order. When Yi Xin took the lead and walked down the stairs, a hawk wearing a black feather cloak immediately knelt down on one knee to salute him.
"Isshin-sama."
"Oh, goshawk."
Isshin nodded to the hawk: "It's time, please step back. No matter what happens, you can't enter the dojo."
Goshawk paused and remained silent for a moment before replying in a low tone: "...Yes."
"Da~"
As the Eagles led by Goshawk exited and closed the door of the dojo from the outside, only Lu Xiao, Yixin and Yongzhen were left in the small dojo.
Isshin took down a special tachi hanging from the wall of the gym. This was his usual weapon when he was young. Although it did not have special abilities like the Immortal Slash, the tachi that had been tempered by countless blood and fire had reached the level of an ordinary soldier.
the apex of.
"Qiang~"
Slowly pulling out the sword from its sheath, Yishin's momentum reached its peak when he turned around to face Lu Xiao.
Yi Xin's whole body was like an unsheathed sword, and the sharp momentum oppressed Lu Xiao, making him unconsciously assume a fighting posture.
Yishin, who was seriously ill, was far from his best, but Lu Xiao did not dare to relax for a moment when facing this sword master whose life was about to come to an end.
Yi Xin spoke with a calm expression: "I have lived my life without any regrets. I have laughed heartily when friends got together and it turned out to be a big event, and I have also experienced sadness and sorrow when old friends passed away one after another."
"Ashina Country will inevitably fall into decline as our group of old thieves grow old and die. Although I lament this, I don't have as deep an obsession as Genichiro."
"We have already experienced Ashina's best era, and its future fate... will be left to the younger generation of children to decide."
"Come on, Lu Xiao."
Isshin held the sword with both hands and assumed the starting position of Wei Mingren: "I originally thought that the person who would send me on my last journey would be Genichiro or the little boy adopted by Xiao. Unfortunately, they all still lacked some firepower, so I had to kill Xiao with my own hands.
Come and see me off!"
"Pay attention! Take the move!"
Yixin's ghost-like aura completely locked onto Lu Xiao: "Don't be distracted for a moment, otherwise you will definitely die."
"clang!"
At the same time as he launched the one-word slash, Yi Xin used step steps to quickly approach Lu Xiao. A bright sword light flashed in the dojo, and the powerful and heavy one-word slash struck heavily on the immortal sword that Lu Xiao was blocking.
"Come again! Second Company!"
"Dang[无名故事www.downtxt.net]!"
Fortunately, Lu Xiao was familiar with Wei Mingren's moves. After blocking the first move, he immediately flicked the knife to release the force, and narrowly blocked Xin's swift two-stroke slash.
Wei Mingryu was created and perfected by Isshin. There is no fixed routine for the same moves in Isshin's hands. The last slash may have been a single slash, but the next slash will immediately change to the Iai Cross Slash.
In Lu Xiao's opinion, Ishin's cross-cut was no different from a single-stroke slash. The two swords he swung completely overlapped each other, and the burst of force almost ejected the Immortal Slash that Lu Xiao was blocking in front of him from his hand.
"Well!"
Lu Xiao's jaw began to bleed slightly under the impact of the successive impacts. Without the treatment of the Shroud of Eden, he could only grit his teeth and continue to persevere.
"What's wrong? Is that all?"
The corners of Isshin's mouth also began to leave blood, and the high-quality attacks he unleashed in succession put a considerable burden on his seriously ill body.
Yongzhen, who was watching the game from the sidelines, bit her lower lip tightly with her silver teeth, and red blood flowed down the corners of her mouth, but Yongzhen herself was completely unaware of it.
Yixin is one of the most respectable elders to Yongzhen, but now she can only watch this elder step by step toward death.
Ishin, who was born with divine power, did not squander his talent carelessly, and the power distribution added to the sword was extremely reasonable. Even Lu Xiao, whose basic attributes were higher than his, found it very difficult to deal with.
"Ahem!"
Yixin's body began to be unable to hold on any longer, and Lu Xiao could even see a strange blush on his originally waxy sick face.
‘Reflection?’
He put the sword back into its sheath and shouted to Lu Xiao sternly: "Don't be distracted! Watch carefully! I will only use it once!"
When Isshin sheathed the sword at this time, it was obvious that he did not mean to stop the fight. All the sword energy in his body was concentrated into the sheathed sword.
"Qiang!"
Amidst the clear sound of drawing out the sword, Isshin unsheathed his sword again and spurted out a torrent of sword energy. The simple and unpretentious Wei Mingryu took on a completely new transformation in his hands.
"Secret · Dragon Flash!"
"boom!"
A roar like the roar of a giant dragon sounded in the dojo. Although Lu Xiao was not distracted for a moment, when the flash of sword light passed by, the surging sword energy that followed still knocked him away as he was waiting for him.
Got out.
Lu Xiao was still able to block this sharp external vacuum wave after all. Although he landed in a somewhat awkward posture, at least he was not really injured in this attack.
Yixin didn't wait for Lu Xiao to regain his footing, and used the one-word slash footwork trick to teleport in front of Lu Xiao.
"Secret · One Heart!"
The dazzling shadowless combos completely enveloped Lu Xiao, who was unsteady on his feet. There were invisible small sword energies in all directions. Lu Xiao could only rely on his flexible body skills to carefully move around in a small area to avoid them.
The speed of the Shadowless Sword still left many wounds on Lu Xiao's body, but Lu Xiao avoided the vital points and failed to cause fatal injuries.
These two secret techniques represent the ultimate in strength and speed respectively, and are the final answer handed over by the sword master after he devoted his whole life to studying swordsmanship.
After surviving two secret moves, Lu Xiao immediately kicked off his feet and jumped back, using the special thrusting technique he had just learned from Xiao to rush towards Yixin.
"Ha~ Is it the owl's move?"
Yixin simply turned sideways to avoid Lu Xiao's thrust, but what surprised him was that Lu Xiao's move did not end there.
Taking advantage of the impact brought by the giant ninja's thrust, Lu Xiao took advantage of the situation and launched a set of dazzling combos.
"Secret · Flying through the swirling clouds!"
The sword movements flowed like a dance, and the crimson sword energy spread towards Isshin.
If it was Isshin in his prime, even if he was surprised by the sudden change of moves, he should be able to easily block this round of sharp knife combos.
Now Isshin no longer has the skills he had when he was young, and a serious illness has eroded his vitality. After blocking the first few swords, the increasingly weak Isshin is finally broken.
"Well done..."
"Bah!"
Feidu's last sword in the swirling cloud was used to turn around and charge up for an upward attack. Isshin, who was unable to block it, was cut through his chest by this sword. If Lu Xiao hadn't held back at the last moment, Isshin would have been split in half by his sword energy.
.
"Ahem!"
Blood spurted out, and the sword in Isshin's hand fell to the ground with a clang. Yongzhen hurriedly stepped forward to support Isshin, who fell softly to the ground.
"Haha~"
There was no sign of unwillingness or humiliation in defeat on Isshin's face. Instead, he smiled with great satisfaction and said, "I didn't expect that before I died, I would be able to see the ultimate swordsmanship of the Tomoe clan again. Was it Genichiro who taught you this?"
Lu Xiao half-knelt in front of Xin Xin, preparing to send the stubborn old sword master off for the last time.
"Yes and no. Your Excellency Genichiro only taught me the most basic technique of flying across the floating boat. This move... can be regarded as something I developed myself."
‘Although I have borrowed the secret concept of combination from Ashina Wushin-ryu in the game...’
"Okay! Ahem! Very good!"
Regardless of his serious injuries, Yixin laughed happily: "This is the essence of Wei Mingryu. He is not bound by the existing moves, but creates more new moves based on the integration of what he has learned."
"Lu Xiao, you are ready to leave."
Gladly, Yi Xin patted Lu Xiao's shoulder lightly with a dry arm full of blood: "As the founder of Wei Mingliu, I grant you the qualification to be exempted from all rumors..."
With his eyes gradually losing focus, Isshin stretched his trembling right hand towards the top of the dojo. He seemed to be able to see the sky outside the building through the sealed floor.
"Old guys, I'm here too..."
Sword Master Ashina Isshin finished his life in battle.
