Chapter 24: The Ghost of the Sword

It shouldn't be difficult to kill this person, but now people have been dispatched from all over Dongying to start chasing him.

In addition, after slaughtering a large number of sects, now according to the ranking of the seven major swordsmen, the law has been presented, and there is no need to think about it, at this time, the hidden stream hall must have been subordinated to the net, I don't know how many masters are hidden in it.

If you trespass easily, the other party will definitely not tell you the spirit of bushido, and in order to save your life, you will definitely do everything you can, and you need to use some means.

Next, Fan Zhuoyuan did not directly bring people to the door to challenge, he disguised himself as an ordinary Dongying businessman, and from all kinds of information, he already knew that Sanada Takuya called many people to stay in the gym.

Even the Silent Sword Emperor Shadow, the head of the Seven Great Swordsmen, had already arrived at this time, and was laying out a net waiting for Fan Zhuoyuan to collide with it.

At this time, Fan Zhuoyuan suddenly led people to kill several nearby sects, and in three days, the three sects were bloodied!

It was the first time that the Imperial Shadow arrived, but it was still a step too late.

This time, the person who couldn't sit steadily had become the hidden stream sect master Sanada Takuya, who was waiting for the rabbit, and he came to the scene of the incident one step later with a group of famous people in the Dongying martial arts.

When he saw that the three major sects and Taoist halls were destroyed, and the teacher and all the disciples were all miserably killed at the scene, he scolded in public.

But the Imperial Shadow knew that Sanada Takuya was hiding the fear in his heart, and he was also listed as one of the Seven Great Swordsmen of Dongying, and the Imperial Shadow was ashamed of him.

Sanada Takuya shouted and scolded: "Eight grid tooth road, we must take the initiative, we can't wait for them to come to the door, the Central Plains has a saying, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves!"

They just killed Wudangliu Normal and the others, and they should not be far away, so they can ask the city to take the initiative to use everyone nearby to search the mountains and seas, and they don't believe that they can't find them! ”

Huangying said: "Sanada-kun, please calm down......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the excited Sanada Takuya, "How can you let me calm down, these are all branch schools related to our hidden stream, and the thought stream has been cut off, and we don't want to follow in the footsteps of our hidden stream!" ”

Many samurai swordsmen on the side were discussing, looking at the hundreds of corpses of the three families, everyone was uneasy, and some people agreed with Sanada Takuya's idea that they should take the initiative to find the sword ghost.

Huangying said coldly: "There are mountains all around, and the sword ghosts and others are obviously very familiar with survival in the wild, and they will even disguise themselves. Otherwise, when the whole country is wanted, how could it be so easy to pass through the downtown area and exterminate so many sects in public? If so, do you think it's useful to search the mountains and seas? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, Dongying Wulin was not afraid of the strength of Fan Zhuoyuan and others, no matter how strong they were, they were just like a group of wild thieves, and they had no foundation of their own strength, and they were running around killing people.

As long as you can track their whereabouts, move your hands, and attack in groups, you may not be able to kill them all.

After all, at this time, the strength of the sword ghost and others was in front of the Dongying masters, and they could not reach the realm of invincibility in the world.

An old swordsman next to Sanada Takuya said: "We have a lot of Toei Mountain Range, just like those wild bandits, it is indeed difficult to find their whereabouts when they hide in the deep mountains, if they can also disguise themselves, and are quite disciplined and patient, I am afraid that even if we come into contact with them face to face, we may not be able to find them." ”

Sanada said angrily: "To say such frustrating words, that is to wait for the sword ghosts to come to the door and break us all!" ”

Huangying frowned and said: "We don't know how many martial artists die every day in Dongying due to various martial arts duels, but this kind of destruction of the inheritance at every turn, unless there is a big enmity, it is very rare, I want to know what the purpose of the sword ghost is, whether he has a bitter hatred for our Dongying martial arts world, and needs to do such a thing to retaliate." ”

"Your Excellency Imperial Shadow, listening to your tone, you seem to have a lot of respect for that sword ghost!"

Huang Ying said indifferently: "No matter what you say, the sword ghost is a strong man, and the strong man himself should be treated with due courtesy. Besides, he never draws his sword and swings his sword at someone who doesn't know martial arts, and he is definitely not a bully, but I think he may have attacked the major sects because of hatred. ”

"Hate?" Takuya Sanada was surprised, then looked at everyone and said, "That's not right! Even if it is hatred, there must be a specific object of hatred, but he is clearly targeting all the martial arts sects, what kind of hatred is this! ”

Everyone also chimed in, but Huang Ying said, "Maybe it's the hatred of all martial arts sects?" ”

A swordsman next to him frowned and said, "How can such a person exist, isn't he himself the top swordsman!" ”

"Maybe it has something to do with what you do on a daily basis."

When the Imperial Shadow said this, everyone was silent, only Sanada Takuya felt the great pressure, and still shouted to search for the traces of the sword ghost and others.

Huang Ying had no choice but to watch a group of masters in the martial arts world take their disciples to find the city lord, launch a search of mountains and seas and block the main transportation routes.

Personally, he was constantly thinking about the motives of the sword ghost and others, and he was also thinking about the sword marks on the bodies of the dead who had been killed by the sword ghost in the past few days, and imagining the sword ghost's sword skills.

He walked in the castle town market, and the citizens around him were nervous and in awe to make way for him, just because he was a samurai, and he naturally had a very high status in Toei.

In the past few days, there are many samurai in the castle town, and many samurai with great psychological pressure are on the street to enforce the privilege of beheading the imperial exemption, and indiscriminately kill civilians who unintentionally collide with them.

Just like the scene happening on the street, a swordsman has just come out of an izakaya, smelling of alcohol, walking and shaking, and collides with a merchant.

"Eight Tooth Road! You've touched the hilt of my sword! Damn untouchables, you have to pay for your rudeness! ”

This swordsman is the disciples of the three major sects that were destroyed, but he is not a core disciple, and he was not at the scene at the time of the incident, so he escaped by luck, and he used wine to dispel his sorrows in fear.

At that moment, he couldn't vent his frustration, and he happened to bump into the unlucky guy who picked up the goods and sold them, and immediately kicked him to the ground, and the goods were spilled on the ground.

The merchant obviously knew what he was going to face next, and quickly knelt on the ground and wailed for mercy.

"Samurai-sama, please let the villain go, it's really that the villain doesn't have long eyes, and offends the adult."

The swordsman drew his saber and said, "The katana is the face and dignity of a samurai, and you must pay for it with your blood!" ”

said that with the smell of alcohol, he was going to be cut off with a knife!

In the desperate and frightened screams of the merchant, the sword light finally failed to fall.

At some point, a man with an indifferent face appeared next to the swordsman, and the swordsman's knife was already in the man's hand.

"A samurai can't even hold his own sword, so should he draw his sword and cut his stomach in public?"

The man looked indifferently at the swordsman who intended to commit murder, and the other party was already furious, and hurriedly pulled out his ribs and slashed it.

However, the man with an indifferent expression was faster, he grabbed the opponent's knife and stabbed it with his backhand, seeing that he was about to stab the drunken swordsman to the core.

Huang Ying, who had been watching from the sidelines, rushed out, and with two fingers out of each hand, he grabbed the weapons of the two.

The drunken swordsman couldn't bear it anymore, but was shocked away, only the man with an indifferent expression held the katana, and still stabbed forward, but this time it was the imperial shadow who stabbed him.

The two sides held each other for a moment, and the katana suddenly broke from it.

The desert man's eyes flashed, and he said: "Good kung fu, but unfortunately the people who are not saved." ”

After speaking, he seemed to be quite jealous of the imperial shadow, and turned around to leave.

Huang Ying thought for a while, thinking of the various behaviors of the sword ghost and others, who were extremely bloody and cruel to the martial arts class, destroying the door at every turn, and seemed to be quite gentle to ordinary people, wouldn't this be consistent with the various behaviors of this person in front of him?

He immediately looked up, but saw that the desert man had already disappeared into the sea of people with light skills, and the emperor thought that this person was very likely to have a connection with the sword ghost, so he ignored it at the moment and tracked it all the way.

And he didn't pay attention to the drunken samurai behind him, looking at the broken katana, he immediately became furious, this person was very afraid of the emperor and the desert man, but he would not have any fear of ordinary people.

Immediately waved the ribs in his hand to stab the merchant to the ground, and then rode on the merchant and repeatedly stabbed him dozens of times, filling the street with the smell of blood, the surrounding people were terrified, the shops were closed, and the people took a detour.

Huangying's martial arts skills are quite high, and after asking the surrounding people, he finally tracked down the trail of the desert man and followed him to an abandoned shrine in the wilderness.

The man disappeared here, and the Imperial Shadow held the hilt of the sword, vigilant.

Suddenly, a man wearing a tengu mask walked out of the shrine and said in a playful tone, "Yo, isn't this the Imperial Shadow-sama?" How did you come to such a shabby place? ”

Huangying's intuition was keen, and he asked, "You are the sword ghost?!" Why don't you dare to see people for what they really are?! ”

The man in the tengu mask smiled: "We can offend the entire Dongying martial arts world, and we are very scared, of course we can only hide our heads and tails, after all, we are not samurai lords!" ”

Huang Ying slowly pulled out the sword of astonishment and said, "Since you have admitted that you are a sword ghost, then it is just right for you to see your Excellency's sword path." ”

The Tengu man sneered and said, "How can I fight with you in the light, we are here to destroy all the major sects in Dongying!" ”

As he spoke, several more people walked out of the surrounding shadows, all wearing masks of gods and Buddhas in Dongying mythology, holding long knives, and forming a ring around the imperial shadow.

Huang Ying was not afraid at all, he was absolutely confident in his own strength, and sneered, "This is your subordinate? ”

The Tengu man shook the long knife in his hand and said, "Dongying No. 1 swordsman, then let us see your true strength!" ”

said that he took the lead in swinging the knife and slashing away, the knife was sharp, but there was a hidden spirit of a king who ruled the world, dignified and upright, and the spirit was compelling.

But the Emperor Ying frowned, raised his sword to block, and said, "You are not the sword ghost himself!" Where is he! ”

While! With a crisp sound, the two sword qi surged, and the Tengu man was not the opponent of the Imperial Shadow, and he was shocked and retreated.

Everyone around them took turns to attack, all of them were first-class masters with sharp knives, and the most important thing was that they cooperated very well and trusted each other.

There must be fatal flaws in a single move, but they can be used together, and all flaws will be made up for by the back move, and even repeatedly set a killing trap in the middle of the flaw.

Even if it is as strong as the imperial shadow, it is difficult to crack such a killing formation for a while, and it is surrounded in the middle to deal passively.

The real sword ghost Fan Zhuoyuan was on the roof of the shrine, also wearing the mask of Amaterasu, quietly watching this battle, he was testing the strength of the imperial shadow.

The Imperial Shadow also noticed the person on the roof of the shrine, and saw the huge knife box on the back of the sword ghost, and his eyes froze, knowing that this must be the real sword ghost.

Huang Ying was originally an extremely belligerent and martial person, but at the moment he was excited in his heart and fully exerted his strength.

At this time, although he had not yet merged with the Silent Sword, nor had he realized the seven-style sword intent, the Sun Slashing Knife technique he had mastered was also incomparable.

And the internal strength cultivation is the Boundless Sword Dao, a total of four levels, from red iron, bronze, silver blue to gold, the imperial shadow has been cultivated to silver blue, the reason why it has not broken through the golden sword qi is because it has never been able to unite with the Silent Sword and the Human Sword.

Even so, under the full force of the explosion, the silver-blue sword qi swung in all directions, and the Sun Slashing Sword Technique shone brightly in the sky, and immediately broke through the siege of ten people, circled around, and easily cracked the knife in everyone's hand.

The ten people withdrew their swords one after another and scattered, allowing the imperial shadow to rush straight at Fan Zhuoyuan.

Fan Zhuoyuan did not pull out the dragon slaying knife, just because the imperial shadow at that time was not worthy of him to use the dragon slayer.

Only with the ordinary knife in his hand, he slashed down in the air!

The two swords collided, and the Emperor Shadow suddenly felt the shocking and domineering peerless sword intent, and with just one blow, the Emperor Shadow with the Silent Knife slashed to the ground, shaking the earth and reaching a radius of several zhang.

In his sun-slashing knife technique, all the subtle afterstrokes were completely useless under this blow, just like the sun in the sky, but suddenly a solar eclipse came, and the sun was no more!

And Fan Zhuoyuan returned to the roof, put the knife in the sheath, and said indifferently: "At this time, you have not yet forced me to draw the knife, go back and understand how to unite with the Silent Knife in your hand, don't let me down again." ”

Huang Ying felt that the stunned knife in his hand was trembling, this was the knife dissatisfied with the weakness and inadequacy of Huang Ying, Huang Ying also felt that the shame in his heart was beyond measure, the saddest thing for him was not to be defeated by others' knives, but not to be recognized by the knife in his hand!

He gritted his teeth and looked at Fan Zhuoyuan on the roof and said, "Jingjingren! Why don't you dare to show your true colors! As the world's first-class swordsman, are you so hidden? ”

Fan Zhuoyuan said disdainfully: "I am not a samurai, why should I follow the way of a samurai." I won't kill you today, just because I know that you have unlimited potential, and I will be able to sharpen my sword path and make it to the next level, but if you have not reached a level that is comparable to me before I destroy the Dongying Martial Arts, I will be very disappointed to punish you, including your entire royal family. ”

As he spoke, the ten people on the ground each stepped back and disappeared into the surrounding woods in a demonic manner.

Fan Zhuoyuan was also about to turn around and leave, when the imperial shadow suddenly asked, "Why do you hate Dongying Martial Arts so much!" On the contrary, it is very good for ordinary people! ”

Fan Zhuoyuan turned his back to the imperial shadow and said, "In Dongying, the class of martial artists should be wiped out!" ”

"What about you! You have such excellent sword skills, aren't you also a martial artist! ”

Fan Zhuoyuan snorted coldly, disdainful of answering this question, jumped forward, and disappeared near the shrine.

Huangying stopped in place and said to himself: "He is stronger than me, but he did not kill me, and he is looking forward to fighting with me, who can unite people and swords, and he must also be an extremely martial artist!" There must be something strange about such a person who hates me so much, in short, no matter what, I must not let him continue to kill! ”

The Imperial Shadow returns to the Dojo of the Hidden Stream, but suddenly hears that the Hidden Stream Sect Master Sanada Takuya is in the Castle Lord's Mansion and has been beheaded by a warrior with a huge sword box on his back.

This person's knife is fierce and domineering, and this attack is a sneak attack, and he goes all out, and even the stone wall outside the city lord's mansion has been cracked.

The lord of the castle sent an army to chase and kill, but the man easily escaped from the encirclement, and in the middle he killed several masters invited by Takuya Sanada, causing a huge shock.

The sword ghost's actions not only do not take Dongying martial arts in his eyes, but it also seems that even the rulers of various places regard them as nothing.

The city lord's mansion killed people in the street, and this kind of arrogance can be described as arrogant.

But the emperor said in his heart: This is already the third sword master, and the next one should be the first-class Suzuki Naoyuki!
