Chapter 14: Sneak Attackers!

Battlefield Plane, Day 5.

Now that the task of the title of Jianhao has been achieved, the time has come for Zhao Futu to set out to challenge Yanagi Zongyan.

For this challenge, it can be said that he took great pains to mobilize nearly a thousand ronins to go to Yanagiso. His ultimate goal is to kill Yagyu Soyan, which means that any method is fine, but according to the habits of the nightmare space, it is undoubtedly the highest evaluation of the task obtained by the head-on challenge. Others, whether they are poisoned, trapped, or beaten, are likely to reduce the completion of the task.

Therefore, this killing mission is also a challenge for Zhao Futu to himself, and when facing those really strong plot characters, he wants to know how much he has the certainty of a head-on confrontation.

To this day, he had almost remembered the vague force value of Yanagi Zongyan in his memory!

Yanagi Zongyan is one of the great swordsmen of the Warring States Period, and his own force value is second only to the ancestor of the sword stream, Ito Yidaozhai, and the target's force value is about 96 points, if you count the bonus of the title of swordsman, then his strength and agility are likely to reach a very amazing 106 points! This is an attribute that Zhao Futu is very jealous of, because the other party is very likely to be the kind of plot character whose strength and agility break through the peak of 50 points at the same time!

The deviation is too great.

On the other hand, Yagyu Soyan was also the owner of Yagyu Village, a place similar to an independent armed village, which was almost equivalent to a small town, and was inhabited by hundreds of families, with a size of nearly two or three thousand people. And Liusheng Zongyan is also the leader of this Zhuangzi, his subordinates not only have the villagers in the village, but also have disciples who learn under him, and the number of such disciples is as many as hundreds, which means that if Zhao Futu wants to kill him, he will definitely not only face Liusheng Zongyan alone!

If he goes alone, then after he can't kill Yagyu Sogen in a short time, he will have to face the siege of the samurai ronin in the entire Yagyu Village. You must know that Yagyu Zhuang is equivalent to an independent small force, and the core figure of this small force is Yagyu Zongyan, and the aborigines of those local plots rely on his reputation as a sword hero, so that they can live better than the aborigines in other parts of Japan's Warring States period.

For example, they don't have to pay taxes to the lord, because the reputation of Yanagi Zongyan is also a well-known signboard!

In this way, assassinating Yanagi Zongyan would not be easier than challenging him head-on.

This is what Zhao Futu thinks!

The head-on challenge of another new swordsman, Yanagi Zongyan could not refuse no matter what, after all, this matter was related to his reputation, and it had long been known to all directions.

In other words, under Zhao Futu's arrangement, Liu Sheng Zongyan already had to fight with him alone!

But.

For the sake of insurance, Zhao Futu still brought a large number of people over, that is, the ronin subordinates he collected, after all, his final goal was to kill Yanagi Zongyan, and if Yanagi Zongyan died, those ronin warriors in Yanagizhuang, including those disciples he accepted, were likely to avenge him! In this way, if Zhao Futu goes over alone, it will be pure and looking for death!

Not only the group of ronins, but also a lot of Koga-ryu's ninjas were secretly sent, after all, Zhao Futu now has a good relationship with Koga-ryu, and the two belong to the kind of mutually beneficial partners, and Koga-ryu doesn't want Zhao Futu to have any accidents after challenging Yagyu Zongyan. From Chanako's mouth, Zhao Futu already knew exactly that Koga Ryu was going to bet heavily on Oda Nobunaga, and now it was not far from the time when Oda Nobunaga went to Beijing.

In fact.

By the time Zhao Futu came to Liushengzhuang with his people, the number of people gathered here had already exceeded his expectations.

He completely underestimated the influence of his meteoric rise, as well as the reputation of Yanagi Sogan's veteran swordsmanship, and the pursuit of personal prowess by the ronin samurai of Japan's Warring States plane. Not only the Ronin Samurai in Yagyu Village came, but there were also many famous ronin samurai from all over the world, and even some famous historical generals also rushed over.

For example, Oda Nobunaga...... Ahem...... Let's just say it's his men. It is quite famous in the town of Beijing, and Keiji Maeda, who has been wandering among the wanderers all year round, also came. This guy rode his beloved horse Songfeng, and his figure was also quite rare in the Warring States Period, with a full appearance of nearly one meter seventy-two, although it was slightly worse than Zhao Futu, but when he appeared, it was still quite eye-catching!

This guy is very sassy, and he is also the kind of character who likes independent characteristics, and he is very fancy, and it is difficult for Zhao Futu not to notice him.

"That's Keiji Maeda? He rode that horse quite well! Zhao Futu's eyes immediately locked on the horse that the other party was riding, Japanese horses are very short, but the horse in Maeda Keiji's hand is very tall, it seems to be a horse breed of foreign blood.

-- Famous horse songfeng.

Zhao Futu silently wrote these down.

Not only did a lot of ronin samurai come to this battle, but even the local daimyo of Yamato Koriyama Castle also came, and an open arena was specially prepared for the two of them.

This is within the boundaries of Yamato country, not far from the lair of the Iga-ryu ninjas, there is a Yamato-gunyama castle nearby, the lord of the city is the governor of the Tsutsui family, the name is Tsutsui Shunkei, Zhao Futu first saw him, and noticed his shiny big bald head. The identity of the other party is a monk, but the Japanese monk has a good life, and the monk in front of him is the kind with a samurai temperament.

It stands to reason that the battle between the two swordsmen should not be in such a chaotic environment, but Zhao Futu's early momentum was very successful, and it has turned it into a head-on challenge!

When Zhao Futu saw Liu Sheng Zongyan for the first time, his whole body couldn't help but feel cold, as if he was being targeted by a hungry wolf.

The other party is looking at him, and he is also estimating Zhao Futu's strength!

Yanagi Zongyan is a middle-aged man with a thin face, about thirty-five years old, compared to Zhao Futu's sharpness, the other party's momentum is very calm, in the early years, Yanagi Zongyan also traveled all over the world to challenge the masters, until he met Kamiizumi Nobuoka, and was defeated by Kamiizumi Nobuoka's men. Yanagi Zongyan has fought with people no less than 100 times so far, and he is a veritable great swordsman, and his strength is second only to the sword saint Kamiizumi Shinoka!

"Is this the top plot character in this plane? What a strong momentum! Zhao Futu stared at Liu Sheng Zongyan not far away, and said secretly.

The other party's gaze is very sharp, like a sword blade, and the essence is exposed!

Zhao Futu absolutely couldn't weaken his momentum at this time, and immediately activated the 'Three Flowers Gathering Top' and used the reconnaissance technique towards the other party.

A gleam flashed in his eyes, and Liu Sheng Zongyan glared at Zhao Futu viciously as if he had sensed something. Obviously, the other party's perception is not low, and he actually noticed Zhao Futu's reconnaissance technique peeping, and sensed the malice in it! If he was simply hostile to Zhao Futu before, then what he is now exposed in his eyes is a complete murderous intention!

The properties of the target are as follows:

β€œ**! It has 60 points of strength! And so many more skills! Zhao Futu just glanced at it, and he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

For the contractor, the title card can only be equipped with one, but for a plot aboriginal like Yanagi Zongyan, his title card is almost the same as the rank of the lower ninja and the upper ninja, which belongs to the effect that can be superimposed! As one of the swordsmen, although the other party has not mastered so many ninjutsu skills, he has mastered many advanced swordsmanship abilities, including the secret meaning of the new Yin Stream!

Zhao Futu couldn't help but take a deep breath and secretly comforted himself: "Fortunately, it's only the strength that has reached 60 points, not the peak attribute of strength agility breaking through 50 points at the same time!" Otherwise, my chances of winning are probably very low! ”

The power of 60 points is just to suppress himself a little in terms of strength, and Zhao Futu's strength is also 58 points, and there is only a 2-point gap between the two, but if Yanagi Zongyan is the kind of plot character whose dual attributes of strength and agility break through the peak of 50 points, then it will be very difficult for Zhao Futu to kill him! As long as the other party does not break through the peak of 50 points with dual attributes, then Zhao Futu still has a chance of winning about fifty percent!

Half against half!

At this time, Zhao Futu slowly pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and a sense of battle couldn't help but rise in his heart.

It's a pity that in front of everyone, he can't use the sword of the Han people, otherwise, he can improve his chances of winning by another point or two!

Carry all before one.

It's the middle of September, and the air is still quite hot.

The whole martial arts arena is very wide, the ground is paved with flat stones, Yanagi Zongyan is also one of the local tyrants, and there is a row of people kneeling on the other side of the martial arts arena, all of whom are the disciples he has accepted over the years. For Zhao Futu, who came to challenge Yanagi Zongyan, these people were undoubtedly very hostile, and they glared at Zhao Futu with fierce eyes, as if they wanted to put pressure on each other in momentum.

Zhao Futu didn't care, there were more people behind him, and the ronins who were in the dark were all sitting on their knees.

The two sides were about fifteen meters apart, and they bowed slightly to each other.

An autumn breeze blows.

Zhao Futu rushed forward, his figure ejected out like an agile cheetah, and the chrysanthemum text in his hand was instantly unsheathed, and then a knife light appeared, because the speed of the knife was too fast, and even a piece of knife light was refracted under the sunlight, and this knife light was deliberately arranged by Zhao Futu, directly shining on Liu Sheng Zongyan's eyes, because the sun was quite dazzling, the other party couldn't help but squint slightly.

- Boom!

There was a gasping figure all around, Liu Shengzongyan's figure did not move at all, and he used his backhand to block Zhao Futu's attack, and then he stomped his foot violently, and the stone slab under his feet was torn apart, and he let out a loud shout: "Death!! ”

This explosion was like thunder on the ground, and everyone watching the battle around seemed to have burst into their ears, and suddenly the whole brain was buzzing, and for a while, they couldn't hear the sound on the field clearly. At this time, the katana in the opponent's hand also instantly turned into a slashing shadow, slashing towards Zhao Futu in the air, and the fierce sword qi raged out, leaving sword marks on the stone slab on the ground!

At the same time, Zhao Futu also received a prompt tone from the nightmare space:

"Contractor No. 1013 is affected by Yagyu Zongyan's drinking skill! …… Mental Immunity Judgment! …… Spiritual Immunity Verdict Passed! …… Immunity to the effects of this deafness! …… Perceived Exemption Verdict! …… Perceived Waiver Verdict Passed! …… Immune to the effects of this sonic blast! …… Will Immunity Judgment! …… Will-free verdict passed! …… Immune to this Horror effect! ……”

Zhao Futu also felt a thunder ringing in his ears, but his ears were only buzzing slightly, and his head was not a little blindfolded like the others, and some even jumped up directly and inexplicably, and the weapons in his hands couldn't hold them.

"Isn't this a weakened version of the Lion's Roar?" Zhao Futu was shocked in his heart, but the speed of the shot was not satisfied at all, and he split out the Ju Yiwen with his backhand, and used the roundabout slash trick in the Silver Cross swordsmanship, if Liu Sheng Zongyan continued to force up, his sword could disembowel Zhao Futu, but Zhao Futu's sword light would also cut him directly in half!

This is a life-threatening style of play!!

Liu Shengzong Yan hesitated for a moment at the speed of his move, but then quickly drew his sword and back, blocking Zhao Futu's attack.

The other party wants to fight for his life, but he doesn't have such an idea, this kind of life-for-life play, the purpose is to force him to draw a knife to defend! The two of them quickly exchanged more than ten moves, and the ground centered on the two of them almost all of them were shattered inch by inch because of excessive strength, and there was even a small pit in the middle, and the sword qi that raged out one after another drew many sword marks on the ground.

The more Yanagi Zong beat him, the more surprised he was in his heart, although the other party's strength was slightly lower than his, but the other party actually seemed to be not afraid of life and death, and he didn't care about defense at all. Where was Liu Sheng Zongyan willing to exchange injuries for injuries like this, and had to draw his knife again and again to defend himself, but as a result, he obviously had the upper hand in strength, but he was pressed by Zhao Futu and couldn't raise his head.

This is Zhao Futu's biggest advantage!

The injuries on the contractor's body can be completely repaired after returning to the nightmare space, but Yanagi Soyan, who is a native of the plot, has too many concerns!

- Boom!

The two sides clashed again, Liu Sheng Zongyan was pressed by Zhao Futu and beaten for a long time, and a wave of anger also came out of his heart, he roared suddenly, and the muscles on his body bulged one by one, as if the master in the hard qigong was exerting strength, and the whole person's body and chest seemed to swell a few points, and then he was slashed down with a knife like a long rainbow!

- "Vajra Force! ”

- "Assault! ”

Zhao Futu instinctively felt the cold hairs rise, and the skin on his body was instantly tense, he roared, and suddenly fell to the ground, a trace of essence light flashed from him, and then his body also swelled a few points like Yanagi Zongyan, he changed from holding the sword with one hand to holding the sword with both hands, and slammed the opponent's attack, and then as if with a strange rhythm, with an incomparably ingenious skill of four or two thousand catties, the sword light from Yanagi Zongyan was directed elsewhere, and then he turned around and slashed it down!

- "Three flowers gather at the top! ”

- "Vajra Force! ”

- "Return!" ”

The two cards in Zhao Futu's sleeves instantly turned into a streamer, and then a special force turned into a stream of heat surging into his whole body, a scorching aura traveled along his meridian meridian strange veins, and the other rushed straight up along Ren Du's second vein, and finally reached his double pupils! In an instant, the sword move that Yanagi Zong Yan slashed out was grasped by him, and he quickly blocked the opponent's attack, and then turned around and slashed out with a sword!

The sword light directly took Yanagi Zongyan's head, but when the other party faced Zhao Futu's incomparably powerful sword, his expression was extremely calm, he took a deep breath suddenly, and the whole person's figure instantly tensed, as if he was standing on the surface of a calm lake, without any force, his feet actually floated strangely from the ground for nearly five centimeters, and then he slashed down with a strange arc as if he was drawing a knife and breaking water!

――Floating Boat LVMAX [Secret Mysteries]!

Sonorous!

Flashes of light!

The Ju Yi text in Zhao Futu's hand was broken into two on the spot, and the weapon in Liu Sheng Zongyan's hand was also shattered instantly!

- "Flutter! ”

A stream of blood spurted out, and Zhao Futu's figure flew upside down on the spot and landed on the ground, and Zhao Futu spit out a large mouthful of blood with a wow.

Liu Sheng Zongyan was still standing in place, the disciple behind him looked at Zhao Futu who flew out upside down, and suddenly let out a cheer, but then Liu Sheng Zongyan's mouth also spurted out a blood sword, and then his arm holding the remnant blade trembled slightly, "plop" and half knelt on the ground, from his chest down, a deep bone scar slashed down, as long as he went deeper into it for half a minute, he could easily take his life!

Yanagi Zongyan used the remnant blade to support his body from falling, and the blood had already stained the ground red!

Behind him, there were exclamations from those disciples, and those disciples wanted to rush over to support him, but Liu Sheng Zongyan stopped them with a sudden wave of his hand, he gasped violently, looked at Zhao Futu, who was also covered in blood and struggling to get up, and said slowly: "We're tied!" ”

"What a fast sword! …… Ahem! ......" As soon as Zhao Futu finished speaking, he coughed violently, and the other party's sword qi injured his lungs, and he now felt a pain every time he breathed.

Zhao Futu was very unwilling!

Because he was using Fuso's katana in his hand, if he was using his own sword, then he would definitely not be so seriously injured by the move just now!

Tie?

It's a tie like that?

Zhao Futu supported his body with his remnant sword and stared at the opponent in front of him, his injuries were very serious, and his own injuries were also very serious, and both sides had almost lost the ability to fight again. However, Zhao Futu is a contractor, as long as he takes out a recovery item to use, then he can get out of the state of serious injury, and killing the Yanagi Zongyan in front of him is completely easy for him! But the problem is that the battle at this time is not just the two of them, if he reveals the identity of the contractor at this time, then all the efforts he has made before can be said to be in vain!

Kill?

Or not kill?

Zhao Futu had a trace of hesitation in his heart, he had to admit that the opponent in front of him was really strong, if he hadn't just launched the Sanhua Gathering in advance, then he might not be able to dodge the opponent's killer sword!

"It's a tie!" Zhao Futu gasped and glanced deeply at his opponent.

The strength of the two sides is almost the same, and if you look at the competition, they are indeed tied.

After Zhao Futu finished saying this, he let out a long breath of turbidity, and then slowly stood up. The resilience of the contractor is not comparable to those plot aborigines, if it is a swordsmanship test, then the two sides are indeed tied, but if it is a life-and-death fight, Zhao Futu has already won. Although he was seriously injured, he still had some combat effectiveness, but it was difficult for Yanagi Zongyan in front of him to even stand up.

Since it's a competition, and since it's a tie, then we can only stop here and wait until we have the opportunity to kill him again in the future. Zhao Futu's next sword was already in a state of serious injury, and his health was less than 20 left, even if he rushed over and killed Yanagi Zongyan, he might not be able to escape. Moreover, if he does this, he will undoubtedly sweep away his prestige in this plane, and may even cause those aborigines of the plot of Yanagi Zhuang to desperately want to keep him.

With his current injury, if he forcibly killed Yanagi Zongyan, it would not be so easy to kill him again.

There are still many opportunities to kill Yanagi Zongyan, he is a contractor, his own recovery power is amazing, he can recover from such an injury in only half a day, but Yanagi Zongyan does not have more than half a month of cultivation, it is absolutely impossible to fully recover. In this way, as long as he endured the impulse of this moment, the next thing he needed to face was only a seriously injured Yagyu Zongyan.

At that time, whether it was assassination or forcible killing, it was easy for him!

At this time, there were many ronin warriors in Yanagi Village, and even there were many historical generals, and Zhao Futu didn't dare to take the risk of forcibly killing Yanagi Zongyan in the past, so he could only quietly take out a needle and pierce it into his own artery! Although Liu Sheng Zongyan's figure did not move just now, Zhao Futu knew that his injuries would not be lighter than his own at all, or even more serious than himself!

It is difficult for the other party to recover in a short period of time, as long as it takes half a day, as long as he can recover!

………………

At this time.

When Liu Sheng Zongyan saw Zhao Futu who was slowly getting up, he couldn't help but show a trace of shock on his face.

He didn't expect that the other party's physique was so strong, and he could actually stand up so easily after bearing his sword qi of 'Floating Boat [Secret Mystery]' head-on, if this wasn't a competition, he should already be a dead man by now. However, at this time, he couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief, this was an open competition, and the reason why he said a tie in advance was because he also saw that the other party did not have much combat power.

The killing machine in the eyes of the other party is too strong!

Liu Sheng Zongyan could see that the other party really wanted to kill himself and make a name for himself, so he said this sentence in advance, and insisted on not letting himself fall, after all, judging from the scene, Zhao Futu, who flew out upside down at that time, was undoubtedly more seriously injured. But in fact, he knew that his injuries were even more serious, because the other party had already lost his strength in the process of flying out upside down, but in order to maintain the apparent advantage, he forced his own injuries down.

As long as he said a tie in advance, then the other party would never dare to kill him in full view!

Because if you kill him, the other party may not be able to leave Yanagisoso alive!

………………

"Bang!"

But at the same time that Liu Sheng Zongyan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, on the roof of the southeast corner of Yanagi Village, which was about three hundred meters away from them, a dull sniper gun suddenly sounded, and then Liu Sheng Zongyan was shocked, and a blood arrow shot out, and there was an extra blood hole on his forehead in an instant! Immediately after, Yanagi Zongyan's corpse fell to the ground with a bang, and several cards that emitted a faint light were suddenly scattered on the ground.

"Bang bang bang!"

After killing the seriously injured Yagyu Sogen with one shot, the dull sound of a sniper gun rang out again!
