Chapter Forty-Eight: Endless Flowing Water (More for the Helpless Alliance)
Hattori Hanzo hasn't seen the 'Sakura Ke' shot, but someone has seen it.
So far, no one has survived the Sakura Guest, and no one has been able to make the Sakura Guest do more tricks, but there are still many people who have watched from the sidelines.
When Sakura Ke and Yanagi Stream's suzerain, Yagyu Fuji, and the one-sword-flowed ronin Chiba Shinichi, they all watched from the side. There is also no shortage of samurai and ronin who have a strong foundation in martial arts.
But those people could only say that Sakura Guest made the first move every time, but then made a move, and the victory or defeat was decided in an instant.
Hattori Hanzo knew that this was a completely new field in martial arts, and it was neither a one-of-a-kind 'static braking, but a new world of martial arts that was indescribably self-contained.
In the face of such a strong opponent, he had to be deep.
From the bottom of the mountain to the summit of Mount Fuji, it was a mile long, and Hattori Hanzo set himself an expectation that he would be at the 3,600th step of the year when he was the most suitable time to strike at the Sakura guest.
Hattori Hanzo starts from Momijidai and crosses the sea of trees in Aokigahara, and each step is just a time to breathe, starting with the exhalation, landing for the inhalation, and the turbidity is discharged with it, which happens to be a cycle.
The internal force is also in this cycle, more and more quintessential and endless.
The sky was still the same, but what he saw was even more vast.
The ground was still like that, but he seemed to hear the sound of earthworms churning the ground.
The chanting of insects in the forest pulled his thoughts to an infinite and distant world.
The turquoise water is getting farther and farther away, and the snow is getting closer.
The cherry blossoms rise in the wind and fall in pieces.
Some fall in the water of the lake. Some fell on the dirt.
Seems ruthless. It seems to be affectionate. It's ruthless after all.
The tiptoes touched the mud on the wet shore, crushed the cherry blossom fields, the grass spilled to the knees, and finally landed in the soft, icy snow.
At the 3,500th step, Hattori Hanzo finally saw the rumored Sakura guest.
He is not tall, but he seems to stand up to the sky.
He is not strong, but his shoulders seem to be able to carry mountains and mountains.
It feels as if he is a legendary warrior who has finally met the Demon King after a lot of hardships.
But is he, the warrior, the real protagonist?
The Demon King will be hit by the Warriors. But before that, the Demon King had already killed countless warriors.
Can he be the luckiest protagonist?
The bits and pieces of the past flowed in his heart, and since the thousand-mile chase of the Honnoji Change, he has never felt hopeless, and he has always been calm and confident.
But this time his confidence was not so strong.
There are still a hundred steps, and after walking this hundred steps, he will not even be afraid of gods and demons, and his momentum will be filled to the extreme.
The sword qi will be abundant in the body, and eventually it can't help but burst out of the body. Destroy everything in front of you.
As long as he completes these 100 steps, he will step into an unprecedented realm of martial arts. He can even become the first person in the history of Fuso martial arts.
is not the first person in the world, but the first person in the past.
But can he complete these 100 steps?
At this moment, any hesitation in my heart was shattered by the sword intent in my heart, and any weakness no longer appeared.
His eyes grew cold, as cold as the snow beneath his feet.
one-step
Two steps
Three steps
Ninety steps
Ninety-one steps
Ninety-two steps
Ninety-three steps
Ninety-four steps
Ninety-five steps
Ninety-six steps
Ninety-seven steps
Ninety-eight steps
Ninety-nine steps
At this moment, Sakura suddenly spoke, and his gaze was as distant as the heavens.
He stood up and said lightly: "Have you seen this stream?" ”
The last step still hadn't been taken, and Hattori Hanzo said, "I've seen everything here." ”
Li Zhichang said: "I just saw it." ”
Hattori Hanzo said, "I not only saw the flowing water, but also saw the mystery of the flowing water. ”
Li Zhichang said: "What a mystery. ”
Hattori Hanzo said: "The water is endless, endless, and eventually flows to the lake at the bottom of the mountain, but the process is ever-changing, but it is also endless. ”
Li Zhichang sighed and said, "Then can your knife cut through the flowing water?"
Hattori Hanzo said, "No." ”
Li Zhichang said again: "Then why do you think your knife can cut me off." ”
This sentence is not loud, but the tone is stern and.
fell in Hattori Hanzo's ears, but it was like a thunderbolt in the nine heavens, and the sentence 'how can you cut me off' has been lingering in my ears.
Suddenly, this day, this place, this mountain, and this flowing water are all cherry blossom guests, and cherry blossom guests have also become this heaven and this place. This mountain, this flowing water.
His sword is capable of shattering stones, but it cannot cut through mountains.
His sword can make long marks on the ground, but it cannot split the earth.
His sword can shoot down birds in the sky with sword energy, but it can't cut through the sky.
His sword can ride the wind and waves, but it can't cut through the water.
He can make moves against Li Zhichang, but he can't defeat Li Zhichang.
It doesn't matter if you take this step or not.
Because before he could make a move, he was defeated.
Defeated so unexpectedly, so completely.
He used 3,599 steps to condense his momentum, but his body was shattered by Li Zhichang's words, and there was no worse blow in this world.
Hattori Hanzo's expression changed from red to white, and from white to red.
It is clearly a sign of internal qi disorder.
But in the end, it all turned into a long roar, the sound of the heavens and the earth, the sound of the forest and the sea, and the sound of the five lakes under Mt. Fuji.
This step has finally been taken.
Every hair of his body stood up one by one, which was the true qi in his body, and if he couldn't vent it, it leaked on the hair.
A straight knife slashed towards Li Zhichang, without any mysterious trajectory, just a simple knife.
The knife is full of internal strength, and the power is unimaginable.
Li Zhichang couldn't help but be moved, he didn't expect that Hattori Hanzo, who was disintegrated by him, would be able to break and stand up, and enter the wonderful realm of having a knife and no knife.
Some are the shape of the knife, and what is not the move on the knife.
This combination of presence and absence is almost the realm of the great master.
If Hattori Hanzo doesn't die, he is even qualified to peek into the mysterious way of heaven and man in the second half of his life.
But he is only qualified to spy on the way of heaven and man, and Li Zhichang in front of him has already entered the way of heaven and man.
Although Li Zhichang is not a deity at the moment, the comprehension of that realm is still there.
He is the real pinnacle of martial arts, the heaven of martial arts in this world.
Wonderful ginseng creation, no tricks and no sword, things and I forget each other, assimilation in the meantime.
If Hattori Hanzo's knife can be called the best in the world, Li Zhichang stretches out his hand and flicks it lightly, and it seems to be omnipresent and indestructible.
Cangjie made words, the heavens and the earth changed color, and the ghosts and gods cried, because the words revealed the secrets of heaven and earth.
And Li Zhichang's flick of this light flick actually got the most mysterious truth in heaven and earth, and a thunderclap sounded from the sky.
It seems that even heaven and earth are amazed by this move. (To be continued......)
