However, what made the Emperor even more excited was that he had a hunch that a battle with the sword ghost Kagami Ren would inevitably make another breakthrough in his martial arts, which he had not advanced for many years.

Since Emperor Shadow obtained the Silent Sword, although Imperial Shadow has used it many times to challenge many swordsmen and achieved the title of the first of the seven great swordsmen, he still feels that he cannot control the Silent Knife as he wishes.

It was only because the human sword failed to communicate with each other that his cultivation had not progressed for many years.

Before being invited by Emperor Jimmu to investigate the matter of Kagami Ren, he stayed in front of the Silent Sword like a madman all day long, not eating or sleeping, just to gain the approval of the Silent Sword.

In order to retrieve the imperial shadow, his wife and daughter also decided to fight with the knife and stayed by the emperor's side.

It wasn't until seven days later that the Imperial Shadow's daughter Akiko was unable to hold on and cried and begged the Imperial Shadow to go to dinner, but the Imperial Shadow was still stunned.

The daughter was about to starve to death, but the Imperial Shadow was still indifferent, and it was at this time that Emperor Jimmu came to visit and explain the matter of the sword ghost Kagami Ren, which aroused the interest of the Imperial Shadow.

His wife and daughter were thus spared the tragic end of starvation due to a knife fight.

Huangying also knew that if he continued to persevere at that time, with the stubbornness of his wife and daughter, he would almost definitely die, it was definitely not what he wanted to see, if he could achieve a breakthrough through a battle with Kagami Ren, and even the integration of human swords, it would fulfill his long-cherished wish to climb to the pinnacle of kendo over the years.

After leaving the Yanagawa Honjia Gym, the Imperial Shadow already knew that the sword ghost's target seemed to have been placed on the Seven Great Swordsmen of Dongying.

Although Soichiro Yagyu is powerful, he can only rank at the bottom of the seven great swordsmen.

There are also Kamiizumi Kashikasai of Shinto Stream, Miyamoto Musashi of the second day, Naoki Suzuki of the One Knife Stream, Takuya Sanada of the hidden stream, and Kashima Yonseimori of the Nian Stream.

If the sword ghost has now begun to act according to the ranking of the seven great swordsmen, then the next one should be Nianliu's Kashima Yin Semori!

Kashima is not very far from Kyoto, and the Imperial Shadow immediately returns home, and he has to inform Emperor Jimmu first, and then rush to it as soon as possible after taking the horse himself.

But along the way, I remembered some contradictions found when investigating the sword ghost Kagami Ren in the past few days.

It is that although the sword ghost and others are ruthless to the major martial arts sects, they will destroy the martial artists at every turn and cut off their inheritance.

But among the people, they often seem to be chivalrous and righteous, and they have saved many ordinary people.

Such actions were really incompatible with their bloody killing methods, and it made people feel puzzled, and the Imperial Shadow tried to find out their motives from the actions of the Sword Ghost and others, but he was at a loss.

The Emperor had returned home in the drizzle of rain and saw his wife waiting at the door.

"Satomi, what are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for you to come back."

Huang Ying didn't think so, took off his hat and handed it to his subordinates, and said, "I'm going to Kashima, the new Yin Stream has been extinguished, and the next one should be Nian Stream."

Satomi grabbed the Imperial Shadow's clothes and begged, "Can you not go, let's go back to our old lives, okay?"

The Imperial Shadow was originally a royal family, and he had never even touched the scabbard before he was twenty years old, until he went out with his wife and daughter but was robbed by robbers, and saw that he was about to die under the sword of a thief, but fortunately Yanagi had no hope of saving him.

Since then, he has been worshipping Yanagi as a teacher, but his kendo is extremely talented, and the moment he holds the sword, the emperor knows that his future life will be dedicated to the sword!

With this qualification, after only practicing the sword for more than ten days, he has achieved what Liu Sheng has learned all his life, and has reached the realm of being free from passing it on.

Only a few years later, he challenged his mentor, who had already achieved great swordsmanship at that time, but he couldn't control his sword momentum, and although he had no hope of defeating Yanagi, he accidentally killed his mentor.

Since then, his heart has become more martial and indifferent, and he is no longer as emotionally invested in his family as he used to be, but after receiving the Silent Knife, his wife feels that her husband has completely changed, and repeatedly wants to redeem him.

Emperor Ying replied indifferently: "Although the sword ghost is a terrible swordsman, he is also a rare opponent, I have been lonely in Dongying for a long time, and my skills have not been improved for a long time, being able to fight with the sword ghost to improve the way of the sword is the only pursuit at the moment, Satomi, don't stop me."

Satomi gritted her teeth and said, "Then you don't even care about Akiko? Akiko said you hadn't hugged her in a long time, since you held the knife!"

The Imperial Shadow paused, did not speak, changed his clothes, informed the Emperor of the investigation, and on the same day changed to a fast horse and headed straight for Kashima.

But as soon as he came to Kashima, Kashima Yin Shishou's house was slaughtered!

Nenryu is good at using the wild sword, and the representative figure is Zuo Zuo Mu Kojiro, but this swordsman was killed by Miyamoto Musashi, the first-class founder of the two heavens, and now he is the head of the Kashima family, Kashima Yin Semori, who replaces Zuo Zuo Wood Kojiro and enters the list of the seven great swordsmen.

This person is not only a well-known swordsman, but also the lord of Kashima, and has a large number of elite samurai under his command.

Its residence was a well-guarded fortress, and now the Imperial Shadow could smell the strong smell of blood when he stood at the door, and when he walked into it, it was a scene of Shura's hell.

Hundreds of samurai stationed there were forcibly entered and killed, but the merchants who lived in the fortress did not suffer.

The Imperial Shadow mentions a merchant who has scared several families mad and asks, "How many people are here?"

The merchant muttered, "All demons...... Terrible demons ......"

The Imperial Shadow slapped him, but he still couldn't wake him up, so he could only ask others.

One of the merchants hiding in the house finally told the Imperial Shadow, "There are only eleven people here, and I can confirm that they are all wild warriors!" The man at the head had a very heavy knife on his back, but he had never seen him pull it out and use it.

When they entered, they demanded a duel with the lord of the city, and the guards besieged them.

As a result, these demons drew their swords and went all the way inside, and hurried to see the castle lord, and in the morning I saw them burst into the castle tower, and half of the castle tower was shattered!"

The Imperial Shadow knew that he was a long day late, and since the Sword Ghost and the others had already arrived in the morning, it was naturally impossible for the battle to last until now.

He immediately ran towards the castle tower, and along the way there were samurai who had been slain, and just looking at the sword marks, it was certain that eleven different people had done it.

When I came to the castle tower, there was a strange dead silence here.

Soon he found the castle lord Kashima Yin Semori in a group of retainers, and to the surprise of the imperial shadow, Kashima Yin Semori was cut off from his right shoulder to his waist, and half of his body was torn apart, and he still had a breath to hold on.

Huangying hurriedly squatted down with the intention of healing his wounds, but seeing the amount of blood flowing from the wound, he was shocked to realize that it was a miracle that Kashima Yin Semori had been able to survive until now, and there was no hope of saving him at all.

Kashima Yosemori saw someone coming, as if he had returned to the light, and he said, "Imperial Shadow! Help me!"

The Imperial Shadow said in a deep voice, "Please speak!"

"Sword Ghost...... It's the most terrible swordsman I've ever seen, and in front of me, he killed all the core descendants of my Nianliu, and the mystery of Nianliu's swordsmanship is about to be lost!"

"If there is a successor, please tell me where he is, and I will protect him immediately!"

Kashima Yin Semori grabbed the Imperial Shadow's arm tightly and said, "You duel with me, I am not your opponent, you should already know Nianliu's moves, but the sword intent...... In a stone cave behind the cliff, there are sword marks left by the ancestors, and they are all stored by the mystery of my recitation.

The younger disciples are not good, none of them have this talent to comprehend the mystery of the ancestors' swordsmanship, and now the Nianliu is about to cut off the inheritance, please Huangying, you must realize the sword intent for me, and the inheritance of the Nianliu in the future will be please......

As soon as he finished speaking, Kashima Yin Shishou couldn't hold on anymore and died of anger on the spot.

With a heavy heart, the Imperial Shadow bowed his head in silence for a moment, and then examined the wounds of the deceased.

He looked at the sword mark that almost cut Kashima Yin Semoru in half, and frowned slightly.

"It's strange, the killing momentum is indeed fierce, but there is room for strength, not to go to extremes, it is different from the sword mark residual sword intent that I saw in the Yagyu Dojo before, it shouldn't be the same person......

Huangying looked at Kashima Yin Shishou's corpse with some sympathy, and said in a deep voice, "Yin Shishou Teacher, the one who fought with you...... Maybe it's not the sword ghost himself at all......

He sighed and snapped to his senses.

"The sword ghost himself is not at war with Yin Shishou, maybe he has seen it

Yin Shishou and Yagyu Soichiro are similar in strength, and with his ability to easily break through the thirteen-style killing method of the Yagyu family, he may not look down on the heirs of Nianliu.

And letting others fight with Yin Shishou may also be training his subordinates...... This guy! With such swordsmanship, why is it difficult to start a sect! Why do you specifically cut off the inheritance of other sects! What is his purpose?"

While thinking, the Imperial Shadow came to the stone cave that Kashima Yin Semori had mentioned, and sure enough, he found a wall carved with sword marks.

Although a long time has passed, the sword marks are still as new, even if the wall next to it is covered with moss, but the sword marks are not a single grass, and the sword intent has survived from the Warring States Period for a hundred years, which shows how powerful the ancestors of the original Nianliu were.

Huangying, who loved swords and was obsessed, immediately watched and comprehended with his heart, and the sword marks seemed to come to life and turned into a complete set of swordsmanship.

Huangying immediately pulled out the Silent Knife and practiced in the stone cave, and after a short time, he learned all the swordsmanship left by the ancestor of Nianliu.

"Sure enough, it's worthy of the swordsmanship of the Warring States Period, every move and style is aimed at killing, even if it is done with a wild sword, it won't be too bad in my hands!

Yin Shi Shou Teacher, I will definitely look for good talents and pass on the kendoism of your sect, this promise will never be violated!"

Just when the Imperial Shadow learned the Nian Liudao Technique, in a deserted village in the mountains......

This was originally a den of wild thieves, and when Fan Zhuoyuan and others came here, it naturally became a place for them to live temporarily.

As for the dozens of wild thieves, they had already been killed and thrown away at this time.

The hostages who were kidnapped by the wild bandits, as well as the women who came to vent their captives, were given money and food to return home on their own.

During this period of time, although Fan Zhuoyuan led everyone to bloody sweep the major sects, he did a lot of chivalrous acts against the people and weak people in Dongying, and did not regard them as hostile and wanton killing.

Therefore, although the name of the sword ghost caused a great storm in the Dongying martial arts, even Emperor Shenmu paid attention to it.

But the people at the bottom are regarded as thieves who eliminate violence and peace, and even many nameless people who were helped by Fan Zhuoyuan and others prayed for them in the temple.

There is a lot of grain stored in the Huangcun stronghold here, and even chickens and ducks are raised, and eleven people take grain on the spot to kill chickens and cook.

Fan Zhuoyuan looked at the prince with a bonfire and said, "Although you won today, you can't satisfy me."

The prince lowered his head, and the other nine didn't dare to make a sound, just silently doing their own things.

"I passed on your sword technique, the core is to kill with one blow, and the last knife, you hesitated in your heart, so the knife momentum has not been exhausted. If it weren't for the fact that the Nianliu Sect Master hadn't carried a short knife with him, he would have died with you by simply drawing his sword."

The prince remembered today's battle with Kashima Yin Shishou, and he still had more than one season in his heart.

"Master! I will never make the same mistake again next time!"

Fan Zhuoyuan said indifferently: "The life in the imperial city will inevitably make you more emotionally rich than ordinary people, you have not experienced fighting, and you have not experienced power and intrigues, it is very normal for you to have this kind of mentality.

Swing the sword a thousand times, and you must learn this lesson in the next battle!"

The prince did not dare to argue, so he came to the windward place at the entrance of the village with a knife, and began to wield the knife silently on an empty stomach.

During this period of time, Fan Zhuoyuan was like this, either to inquire about the information of powerful sects in various parts of Dongying during the day, or to directly challenge the destruction of its inheritance.

Then he hid in the night, and then instructed everyone on the deficiencies of martial arts.

The ten of them followed themselves to learn basically the sword technique and the fist palm technique, and through this combination of actual combat and cultivation, they made extremely rapid progress in just a few months in Dongying.

The ten people also admired Fan Zhuoyuan's ability, in addition to winning every challenge and being able to retreat with everyone's body, he was extremely good at all kinds of disguise and hiding, listening to intelligence, etc.

Following Fan Zhuoyuan's side, he learned more than just martial arts.

After Fan Zhuoyuan pointed out the shortcomings of everyone's martial arts, they scattered to the side, either practicing by themselves, resting, or setting up posts on duty.

There were two people chatting nearby, their names were Ding Mao and Jia San, and they were on weekdays

is inseparable, and they like to tear down each other and sing against each other, which has the feeling of talking about cross talk, and the things they are talking about at the moment are very interesting.

Ding Mao said: "Hey, I have killed a lot of Dongying dogs during this time, how do you feel that they can't even scold people, and the most heard sentence is Bage Yalu, which can only scold people and stupid?"

Jia San smiled mysteriously, "Hey, that's what you don't understand, you think it's just a stupid person, but in fact, according to my investigation in Kabukicho, this word is *** dirty."

"Tell me what you mean."

"Yaga, you already know, the degree is called a stupid person, and the degree is important, it is called a stupid bird.

But the word Yalu has a origin, and if you don't go to Kabukicho to play with women, you won't understand what it means." Saying that, Ding Mao smiled mysteriously.

Jia San's eyes widened and he pushed the other party, "Say it quickly, what else is it selling!"

"Yalu is written as Yelang, Yelang is a male prostitute, translated, Baga Yalu is a stupid thing that sells *eyes*, I remember people scolding you like this, and you still laughed very happily."

Everyone who was listening immediately burst out laughing, and even Fan Zhuoyuan couldn't help laughing.

Everyone is alone overseas, making enemies everywhere, and there is a miserable end of being besieged and destroyed at any time, because since the landing on the island to kill people and practice knives, the atmosphere of the team has been relatively depressed.

It's also thanks to the fact that these two people like to play some live treasures on weekdays, which very relieves the oppressive atmosphere in the team and alleviates people's morale.

Fan Zhuoyuan, as the leader, not only brought them here to wreak havoc, but also was responsible for the safety of each of them.

Next, he began to think about the next target to deal with, Takuya Sanada Sanada, who ranked fifth among the seven great swordsmen of Toei.
