Chapter 999 Since ancient times, heroes have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world!
Source Musashi!
Hearing this name, everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, someone reacted and muttered, "Senior Kurosaki, what did you say...... Could it be the legendary Sword Master who became famous a hundred years ago?"
In the world of Japanese swordsmanship, the sword saint is the supreme title, and it is the goal pursued by countless swordsmen all their lives.
As the saying goes, the king does not see the king!
In the same era, there can be countless swordsmen, but the title of "Sword Saint" can only be won by the strongest person.
Therefore, each generation of "Sword Master" is the first person in the invincible kendo.
However, for the many powerhouses present, the current Sword Saint Source Musashi is a very unfamiliar name.
Because as early as a hundred years ago, Minamoto Musashi had already retired to the rivers and lakes and could not go out of retreat.
Since then, nothing has been heard about him.
The entire martial arts world of the Wa Kingdom has forgotten that there is such a sword saint.
"Senior Kurosaki, shouldn't you be old and confused? That Sword Saint has disappeared for a hundred years, maybe he will die of old age in the mountains and forests long ago! Even if he really lives to this point, he will be more than one hundred and fifty years old, his qi and blood are declining, and his body is withered, I am afraid he will not even be able to hold a sword!" someone questioned.
"Presumptuous!"
Yuo Kurosaki shouted loudly and refuted: "You ignorant juniors, you have never seen the divine power of Lord Minamoto Musashi, and you dare to criticize yourself here? Lord Minamoto Musashi is the most amazing and brilliant martial arts genius in the history of the Japanese Kingdom, he learned swords at the age of six, and at the age of eighteen, he was already the strongest in Toei Kendo, and he was defeated by the group!
In order to pursue the ultimate in martial arts, he went to Huaxia again, fought against the strong, and was invincible and invincible! Within one year, he broke through 99 kinds of martial arts in Huaxia in a row, and his career was undefeated! When he returned, no one in the huge Wa Kingdom could take his move!
Later, Minamoto Musashi-sama became the emperor's kendo teacher, teaching kendo and the art of war, and the emperor also gave him the Celestial Cloud Sword, one of the three artifacts, and for a while he was in the limelight, even if he was the great priest of Ise Jingu, he also respected him!"
Hearing these words, everyone in the audience showed a shocked look on their faces, and their hearts were surging, they never expected that this little-known sword saint would have such a brilliant record back then.
"Senior Kurosaki, since the Sword Saint is so powerful, why do you want to retire?" someone asked.
"The specific reason, except for the Sword Saint himself, no one knows! However, some people speculate that he is practicing a peerless swordsmanship, so he can't go out of retreat! Once he has practiced, it is enough to shake the earth, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!" Kurosaki explained.
"But...... Since the Sword Saint can't come out of retreat, even if we dig three feet into the ground, we won't be able to find his old man!"
"You don't have to worry about this!" Yuo Kurosaki said categorically: "My master is a close friend of the Sword Saint back then, and I know the location of his retreat!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes were full of unconcealable ecstasy, as if they had seen a life-saving straw.
......
Following.
Brought by Yuo Kurosaki, more than a dozen martial arts powerhouses came to a valley near Izu Kogen.
After trekking all the way, I finally found a hidden natural cave, the space inside is cramped, the light is dim, and the long sedimentation makes the cave full of stalactites and stalagmites, and on the top of the cave, there are countless bats hanging upside down, which is eerie and terrifying.
"This is the Ten Thousand Bat Cave, we have arrived at our destination!"
Kurosaki shouted excitedly, then quickened his pace, with the others following in close behind.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the group finally came to the deepest part of the cave, and a huge stone with a height of several feet appeared in their sight.
On top of the boulder, sat a withered figure.
"Whew!Whew!"
The next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
When I looked closely, I saw that the man was wearing a shabby gray shirt, which was covered with dust, as if it had not been cleaned for hundreds of years.
The old face was full of wrinkles, the ruthless marks of the years, and his eyes were closed and unmoving, like a stone statue, merging with the surrounding heaven and earth.
And the breath on his body is extremely weak, like a candle flame flickering in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time.
No one can connect this dying old man with the invincible and legendary Sword Master.
For a while, the faces of many warriors showed disappointment.
In their opinion, it is impossible for the source Musashi in front of them to defeat Ye Beichen!
Anyone in the field can defeat him.
......
At this time, Kurosaki Yuo walked quickly to the front of the boulder, raised his head, and said in an unusually respectful voice: "Katori Shinto Legend-Kurosaki Yuo, meet the Sword Saint!"
As soon as the words fell, the old man on the boulder opened his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "It's Xiao Kurosaki...... Ahem...... I haven't seen ...... in a hundred years."
His voice was staccato and staccato, and every word seemed to exhaust all the strength of his body.
Hearing the name "Little Kurosaki", the faces of the other people in the venue showed strange colors.
You must know that Yuo Kurosaki is also a hundred years old, and he has a junior level in the martial arts world of the Japanese Kingdom.
However, it is appropriate for the Sword Saint Source Musashi to say this.
"You came to me...... Ahem...... What is the matter?" asked the old man.
"Lord Sword Saint, we are not talented, and we have not been able to keep the glory of the martial arts of the Wa Kingdom! I came here this time to invite you out of the mountain to deal with a Chinese warrior!" Yuo Kurosaki explained.
"Huaxia Warrior?" Yuan Musashi raised his voice slightly.
"Lord Sword Saint, you once went to Huaxia back then, broke through ninety-nine kinds of martial arts in a row, and established an immortal might! But this time, a strong man in Huaxia was born, named Ye Beichen, who committed my war! He is a martial artist, a sword caused a tsunami, and he also washed many sects in blood, and even the three major sword ways and the two great ninja clans were destroyed in his hands!"
"Oh?"
This time, Yuan Musashi's voice finally set off a little wave, and said: "There are talented people from all over the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years!
"That's right!"
Kurosaki Yuo said: "Lord Sword Saint, you are our only hope, if you don't go out of the mountain, no one will be able to stop Ye Beichen's pace, and the martial arts world of the Wa Kingdom will fall!
Speaking of this, Kurosaki Yuo paused and continued: "Lord Sword Saint, it is rumored that you are in retreat here to cultivate a supreme sword technique!
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience looked at Gen Musashi with extremely expectant eyes.
Even though Gen Musashi looked like an old man who was about to die, they still held on to the last glimmer of hope and hoped for a miracle!
Under the watchful eye, Gen Musashi slowly spoke:
"The old man has been sitting here for a hundred years, and there are also a hundred years...... I never held a sword!"
......
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the field.
Including Yuo Kurosaki, many warriors had incredible expressions on their faces, and they couldn't believe their ears.
It took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses, and then, a sense of despair spread in everyone's hearts.
Even if you are a brilliant genius, if you don't put in the effort, you will end up in the dark.
For a swordsman, if you don't swing the sword for a day, you will feel guilty in your heart, if you don't swing the sword for a month, the swordsmanship will become rusty, and if you don't swing the sword for a year, your strength will plummet.
And now Gen Musashi said that he has never held a sword for a hundred years, so his current strength may have degraded to the level of ordinary people, and he is even inferior to a novice who has just practiced swords!
Since ancient times, heroes have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world!
No one could have imagined that the powerful God of War would fall to such a point.
At this time, a scar-faced swordsman sneered: "Cut! What a bullshit sword master, it's just a wasted person!"
"Don't be rude to the Sword Master, apologize quickly!"
However, the scar-faced swordsman looked arrogant, looked up at Gen Musashi on the boulder, and shouted: "This bad old man who has no power to restrain the chicken has simply tarnished the name of the 'Sword Saint', why don't I replace him!"
As he spoke, a touch of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the scar-faced swordsman, and he actually pulled out the long sword at his waist and performed an incredibly fast Juhe slash.
"Huh!"
The refined sword qi was three zhang long, tearing through the sky and slashing towards the top of Gen Musashi's head, as if to split him in two.
In the face of this blow without warning, the warrior next to him had no time to stop it, and could only watch the tragedy happen.
At this critical moment, Minamoto Musashi, who described the withered tree, suddenly opened his eyes.
Mutation, suddenness!
