The wind became stronger and stronger, and the vortex formed by the black clouds overhead continued to swirl.
Tsuruga Camouflage looked at the man not far away, and his breathing gradually calmed down.
She squatted down, lifted up the stone slab, dug up the soil, and a knife gradually revealed its true form.
The blade is two feet four inches long, the back is made of pickaxe with three pillars, the blade pattern is small and the scabbard is bright red.
A sword whose appearance is identical to the Thousand Swords carried by the Black Witches at their waists, but its strong presence is unmatched by other Thousand Swords——
This is the original prototype of [Thousand Swords·铩], the most special one.
As Tsuruga drew his long sword, more and more black shrine maidens quietly appeared around them. They all carried identical thousand swords on their waists, and quietly moved toward the battlefield where Heather and Tsuruga were.
Approach quietly.
Clang! The black miko at the front pulled out the perfectly crafted Thousand Swordsman from her waist, inserted the blade downward into the stone slab at her feet, then threw the scabbard aside and turned away without looking back.
Then came the second black miko, who also pulled out the thousand swords from her waist and inserted them upside down not far from the first thousand swords.
Then the third, the fourth...
More and more black witches are placing thousands of swords on this vast battlefield in various postures. They are inserted upside down on the stone floor, tied to tree trunks, inserted diagonally outside the wooden walls of houses, and hung upside down on the eaves.
Down, hung on the torii gate, placed on the roof... The battlefield is occupied by a thousand swords.
Heather just gently touched the handle of the knife at her waist with her fingers, showing no intention of stopping the black witches.
In the end, the nine hundred and ninety-nine Thousand Swords were arranged on the battlefield. It seemed chaotic, but Heather could see that this was in line with Tsuruga Camouflage's usual habit of wielding swords and moving them, so that she could use them anytime and anywhere.
Thousand swords slashed.
Heather laughed: "I see, it is not limited to taking the opponent's sword for one's own use, but taking all the swords on the battlefield into one's own hands. This is called Thousand Sword Style."
"[Terrain Effect·Thousand-Knife Tour]."
Tsuruga in camouflage holds the original Thousand Swords, pointing at Heather from a distance, his black hair fluttering in the strong wind:
"If it is predicted that we need to face a large number of invading enemies, I will have the witches prepare the layout two to three days in advance."
"Aren't you going to hide? This tactic requires you to continuously carry out sneak attacks from your hiding place, right?"
"Your Majesty did not interrupt the Thousand Swords Patrol's arrangements. At least I can choose to fight you as an upright swordsman at the beginning of the war. Of course, I can't guarantee it after that."
Tsuruga Camouflage also smiled:
"This Izumo Mountain has become the territory of the Thousand Sword Patrol. Sekiro, surrender is allowed in the rules. I hope to avoid useless killings."
"I'll give this to you."
Heather moved her shoulders with one hand, twisted her neck and made a dull sound: "Can we start?"
Huh... Tsuruga Camouflage closed his eyes, clenched the long knife in his hand, and slowly exhaled:
"Izumo Oyama Santo Shrine..."
She opened her eyes suddenly——
"The twelfth generation leader of Sento-ryu, Tsuruga Camouflage!"
"No sect, no sect, no restraint..."
Heather held the handle of the knife on her left waist with her left hand and said with a slight smile:
"Outlander, Heather."
The moment the words fell, the two figures disappeared from the place at the same time.
Heather, who was rushing forward, tilted her head slightly to avoid the long knife thrown by Tsuruga Camouflage towards her head. The thousand knives rotated at high speed and flew past Heather's ear, making a harsh whistling sound.
"One sword, one word to kill!"
Suddenly a bright sword flashed next to Heather. Tsuruga Camouflage came to Heather's right side at an extremely fast speed, aiming at his right side which was full of holes due to his missing right arm. He casually grabbed a Thousand Swords and aimed at Heather.
Cut it off.
Qiang! I didn’t see any movement from Heather, but the left hand holding the handle of the knife at the waist was suddenly blurred for a moment, and the light of the knife that struck him and the sword body were neatly chopped into pieces!
It's not bounced, but broken into pieces.
Thousand swords·铩, the quantity is reduced by one.
Is it the Iai Slash!? You couldn’t even see the movement of the sword. He slashed at a speed that exceeded the limit of human vision, and used that shabby sword to destroy Shikizaki Noriki’s twelve most peak completed transformations.
One of the body swords!?
There was no time to continue to be stunned, Tsuruga Camouflage took advantage of the momentum and slid to the side, grabbed two thousand swords and slashed towards Heather's back.
"Two Swords·Ten Monograms!"
This time, she only felt huge force coming from her hands, and the two thousand swords were smashed into pieces by the invisible Iai Slash, and even the Tsuruga camouflage was sent flying backwards by the strong impact.
Not only did she not find a way to stop her castration, but her toes hit the ground and she accelerated and flew backwards again. At the same time, her hands continued to turn into shadows, and one thousand knives were pulled out along the way, turning into huge high-speed spinning gyrations.
The shuriken continued to attack Heather.
"Flying knives, random words and flying flowers!"
Heather tilted her head, and walked towards the direction where Tsuruga's camouflage flew, at an unhurried pace. This time, he pulled out the tattered long knife from his waist, although the scabbard and the knife were
The handle was in tatters, but the flawless blade reflected the cold light and was very meticulously maintained.
This time, Heather's swing of the sword was so slow that even the black witches could match it, but every movement he made could hit, split, knock away, and cut away the thousands of swords flying towards him.
The blade shattered, debris flew into the sky, and the crisp sound of metal impact echoed continuously in Santu Shrine.
The Tsuruga camouflage flew backwards into the forest next to Santu Shrine Square with the force of the impact, and immediately hid his figure.
What's going on? Didn't he want to conquer the sword? Why did he show no concern about the damage of a thousand swords?
Her eyes were filled with astonishment. It was a sword skill that was definitely not something that a [human] could wield. It instantly switched from extremely fast to extremely slow, and every slash she swung had huge destructive power like artillery bombardment.
, but the power can be accurately controlled within a very small range, and will not even affect the stone floor under your feet.
The only thing that was damaged was the [Thousand Swordsman] that attacked him.
Even the Black Key of the Sword Master Qiang, who was known as the "Full Sword" twenty years ago, could not achieve such a freely retractable slash.
How did a down-and-out ronin with no family, no sect, and no inheritance develop such amazing sword skills?
However, this kind of power still cannot be called [capable of destroying the shogunate].
Almost in the blink of an eye, Heather knocked away all the thousands of knives that were attacking him, and easily walked into the forest holding the long knife upside down.
Click! As a silver snake-like winding thunder branch spread across the sky, a heavy rain struck.
A strong wind blew in the dark forest, and leaves were scattered all over the sky. The whistling sound of tree branches intertwined with the wind was mixed with the sound of heavy rain and the sound of Tsuruga camouflage, making it difficult to determine its true location:
"Sekiro, I admit that your sword skills are the most powerful I have ever seen in my life. However, this is far from the absolute power that can overthrow the shogunate..."
Tsuruga Camouflage could no longer speak.
Because, her eyes were completely attracted by the strange sight that appeared in the sky.
