"Ha, what you said is too naive. I think you might as well turn around and go back as soon as possible to avoid dying." The ugly Taoist sneered again.
"That's why I need help from my seniors." Chu Xiang said.
"No need, I don't want to die with you." The ugly Taoist said, closing his eyes.
Knowing that he could not convince the Taoist priest, Chu Xiang could only give up.
Among the people on the boat, only Chu Xiang, Wuseng, Luotuo Han and the ugly Taoist priest had Dan Jin cultivation level. At this level, their senses have become so meticulous that they can capture all the slightest movement. They can see each other's emotions from their breathing or even swallowing saliva. With cultivation, it is difficult to hide one’s strength.
In addition to these three people, Chu Xiang does not want to recruit more people. According to the information provided, there are twelve listed Danjin masters in Japan. There are also many other hidden Danjin masters. Chu Xiang plans to gather the power of four people. , destroy the opponent's elixir one by one, and wait for the opportunity to eliminate the opponent's rising star. If too many people act, it is easy to leak their whereabouts.
The frigate cut through the wind and waves, and ferocious big fish attacked from time to time, but they were all killed by the firepower armed to the teeth on the ship. No ferocious beast could pose a threat to the frigate. Five or six hours later, the captain informed that the destination was about to be reached, and a dozen soldiers on the bridge moved out boxes one after another.
Assembling everyone involved in the mission, the majestic colonel in charge took out a chocolate-like object from the box and said to everyone: "Compressed high explosives. The power of one piece is equivalent to five kilograms of ordinary TNT. It is not afraid of water and fire shocks. Just pull it off." This fuse will explode in five seconds." As he said that, the colonel pulled out the fuse of the explosive in his hand and threw it far to the stern of the ship. As soon as the explosive hit the water, there was a roar and the water column shot into the sky, even fifty or sixty meters away from the explosion point. Feel the powerful shock wave.
Everyone looked at each other and suddenly dispersed. With such power, if someone throws a piece of it into a crowd, more than half of the people will be killed. If it is within five meters of the explosion range, Chu Xiang may not be able to guarantee that he will survive.
"I don't want to die, and you don't want to die inexplicably. If there is any grudge, you can settle it slowly after leaving the ship." The colonel officer had already expected such a situation, and said with an indifferent look on his face, showing no fear at all.
Everyone stepped forward to receive the explosives. The colonel shouted: "Those who received the explosives, put the explosives in your trouser pockets and raise your hands." Everyone understood the danger and acted according to the rules. Everyone who got the explosives raised their hands. Hands, they stood far away from the side of the ship, keeping a distance from each other. Chu Xiang also received twenty pieces of explosives. The twenty pieces of explosives in total were not as big as two fists, so he just stuffed them into his pockets.
Most people took the explosives, but some did not take them. Wu Monk, Luo Tuo Han and the Ugly Taoist Priest did not take them. Seeing this, Chu Xiang said to the colonel: "They don't want it, I will take more."
The colonel glanced at Chu Xiang and nodded.
Chu Xiang took another twenty yuan, just enough to fill his four pockets. These are good things and can be used as hidden weapons. If the opponent is not guarded, even a master of Danjin will be killed on the spot. It is really a must-have treasure for home travel, murder and arson.
"Are you ready to surrender before it even starts?" The big man Luo Tuo stood next to Chu Xiang. When he saw Chu Xiang raising his hand, he made a sarcastic comment, disdainful of what Chu Xiang did.
The words of Luo Tuo Han aroused the hatred of many people, but looking at Luo Tuo Han's calm and steady posture, no one dared to irritate him.
"This is called showing weakness to the enemy." Chu Xiang said with a smile, not taking it seriously.
Soon the frigate arrived at the scheduled location. The wind and waves were very strong, so the frigate did not anchor. It was probably because it was afraid of being discovered by Japanese ships and engaging in firefights. It was difficult to escape after anchoring, leaving the ship swaying in the waves.
As soon as the boat stopped, everyone jumped into the sea, stepped on the waves, or swam, and dispersed in all directions. Chu Xiang understood that these people wanted to leave the crowd as soon as possible, fearing that someone with a bomb would go crazy. The faster they left, the less likely they would be attacked.
After almost all the crowd left, Chu Xiang took off his shoes and shouted: "Let's go." He jumped off the frigate and walked on the waves.
This place is still more than a hundred kilometers away from the nearest island in Japan. It is not close or far. Taking off shoes will make it easier for Chu Xiang to walk on the waves and save his energy. After all, no one knows what is ahead. What's waiting, maybe hundreds of cannons.
After Chu got off the boat, Wu Seng and Luo Tuo Han also jumped into the sea one after another. The three of them were all masters of Dan Jin, and they walked on water as if they were walking on flat ground. The tall man was walking with his hands behind his back, with a look of disdain. The monk's clothes were fluttering, and he was indescribably free and comfortable. Chu Xiang's four pockets were bulging, and the long knife was hanging on his waist. He looked a little strange with his hands behind his back. .
The ugly Taoist priest fell at the back of the crowd. His thin body swayed on the undulating waves. He looked as light as nothing. There was an elegant feeling between the rise and fall of his figure, as if he was in harmony with the way of heaven.
Following the others, Chu Xiang was not in a hurry. He saw that the posture of the person in front of him when treading water was not correct, and he gave some pointers. When it was about to break, he finally saw the dark island in front of him.
"I have a suggestion." Chu Xiang said.
Wu Monk and Luo Tuo Han did not speak.
"If you want to steal treasures or destroy the Yasukuni Shrine, you will definitely attract the opponent's masters to besiege you. How about we eliminate the opponent's masters one by one, which will be more proactive." Chu Xiang said.
"It makes sense." Wuseng said.
The burly man remained silent, not knowing whether he agreed or disagreed.
"Our goals are all in Tokyo. It's better to act separately. After all, the goal of three people together is too obvious. Let's meet again when we get to Tokyo." Chu Xiangdao.
"Okay." Luo Tuo said, obviously not wanting to cooperate with Wu Seng.
"Well, this place is quite far from Tokyo. We are scheduled to meet at the top of Mount Fuji in the early morning ten days later." Chu Xiang said.
After setting a rendezvous time, the three of them went their separate ways. Chu Xiang changed direction and approached Shangdao from other directions. There were no mountains of swords or seas of fire waiting on the island. When Chu Xiang came to the island from the north, everything was quiet. There seemed to be no people on the island, and there were a few broken boats floating on the shore.
This island is not small, about two or three kilometers long from north to south. It should have been much larger before the great change. There are only a few families on the island. When Chu Xiang passed by, the few remaining people had been killed by those who came to the island first. The entire island was The island truly becomes a dead island.
The people who occupied the island did not intercept each other as Chu Xiang expected. They each occupied a corner and did not interfere with each other. Chu Xiang grilled some fish and ate an unknown small animal. He did not stop on the island, stepped into the sea, and continued towards the Japanese mainland. When it was dark, Chu Xiang landed on Kyushu Island, Japan.
There are many more people here than Chu Xiang imagined. There are endless fishing boats coming and going in the offshore, the harbor is full of boats, lights are on everywhere, people are coming and going, and it is very lively. Most of the people working there are porters and fishermen, and many of them are barefoot. If you don’t look carefully, they are no different from Chinese people. Most of the people walking on the shore were men with knives and swords. Most of these people were dressed as samurai, wearing loose samurai uniforms, with swords stuck at their waists. They had beards and had their hands in their sleeves. They walked slowly and firmly step by step.
Standing in the dark, Chu Xiang waited until there were no more people in the night before he came out. After listening for so long, I didn't hear anyone speaking Chinese. They all spoke Japanese, and I couldn't understand it at all. There was no way, he couldn't find anyone who could speak Chinese or English, so Chu Xiang had no choice but to find a store selling clothes by himself.
After searching for half the night, he finally found a clothing store in a shopping mall. He put on a samurai uniform similar to the people here, wrapped the explosives in his pockets in a tight-fitting waistband, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked out of the street in a swagger.
Because of the language barrier and the inability to communicate, Chu Xiang had no choice but to catch some game and roast it. Fortunately, Chu Xiang still remembered the English word for salt on the package, otherwise he would have eaten tasteless barbecue.
After a night's rest, Chu Xiang appeared in the crowd at dawn and looked expressionless, looking to see if he could hear anyone speaking English or Chinese. There are a lot of people here, bustling and no less crowded than Wucheng. Maybe it’s because it’s too cold in the north of Japan in the winter, so everyone comes to the south.
The strength of the Japanese is not bad. Many samurai have Yijin-level auras. The expressions on the faces of the people coming and going are colder than those in Wucheng. When greeting acquaintances, they are respectful and meticulous.
While Chu Xiang was observing the passers-by on the road expressionlessly, the passers-by in front of him suddenly gave way. A young man with an arrogant face walked slowly, holding the handle of a knife in his hand, not squinting. He looked like he was only in his early twenties, and radiated from him. Judging from his aura, he has the strength of the marrow level, but his aura is a bit impetuous, and it is obvious that his realm is not yet stable.
A rising star, a young genius, Chu Xiang thought about it and walked straight up to meet him. When Chu Xiang was still dozens of meters away from the arrogant man, a man from the store next to him pushed open the door and walked out. Judging from his aura, he also had marrow refining skills. It seemed that he was heading towards the arrogant man.
The man who pushed out the door was also a young man. He looked slightly older than the arrogant man. He had two swords on his waist. He stood in the middle of the street and looked at the arrogant young man who was walking slowly.
Chu Xiang originally wanted to challenge the arrogant young man on the street to kill the arrogant young man in order to dampen the spirit of the Japanese. But now he saw that he wanted to catch them all. Both of them were rising stars. After they decided the winner, it was not too late to find a way to kill him. By the way, Take a look at their sword skills so you can imitate them and kill them later.
The Japanese are no different from the Chinese. Seeing the excitement, they all immediately gathered around. Soon the street was filled with people, and the upper floors on both sides were full of people, pointing and talking.
The two stood still, their eyes met, and the atmosphere in the place became tense. After a while, the two bowed to each other, pressed their hands on the handles of the swords, and slowly approached. The battle was about to begin, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. All the onlookers stopped talking and looked at the two people in the field quietly.
The approaching two people moved slowly. Every time their staggered footsteps fell, they were trying to find each other's weaknesses. After a moment, the arrogant young man howled, drew his sword and slashed, the sword light was like lightning, the weapons were handed over, and the two swords were like a man. Blocking it with one knife, he cut across the waist of the arrogant young man with one knife. The arrogant young man's slash seemed sharp, but it was a feint. The two knives separated at the touch. He used the drag technique to rush down, blocking the waist slicing knife, and then cut the opponent's legs in reverse.
The arrogant young man's sword skills were very radical. He didn't test him at all. He attacked with all his strength. His moves were simple and strange. I wonder if the two of them had fought against each other before and knew each other well, so there was no need to test anymore.
The young man with the double sword has a steady swordsmanship. The sword goes with him, and he can defend more and attack less without revealing any flaws. The arrogant young man's sword skills are very strange. He specializes in the bottom lane and is unpredictable. Sometimes he feels that a certain trick will definitely not work, but he just uses it without any feeling of stagnation.
Chu Xiang secretly paid attention to the two people's sword skills. The Japanese's sword skills were indeed somewhat different from those in China. They were more flexible in changes and focused more on the efficiency of their moves. There were very few feints. The arrogant young man's sword skills were terrifying, simple and sharp. If Dan was The master of Jin uses it against himself. If he doesn't check it for a while, he may die.
The two exchanged several moves, and the arrogant young man was a little impetuous. He was careless and fell into the flaw of the man with the double sword. The sword flashed and half of his shoulder was cut off, and blood suddenly poured out like a fountain.
Excessive blood loss made the arrogant young man's face as white as paper, and he stared at the young man with the double sword. Suddenly, the arrogant young man raised the sword with both hands, inserted it into his abdomen, stirred it hard, and fell to the ground dead after a moment.
What a proud man, he does not allow himself to fail, failure is death.
The crowd cheered, chanting some word that was probably the name of the winner. No one pities the dead, they all celebrate the victory of the winner. Probably in their view, death is the end of everything, the inevitable result of failure, and they are not qualified to be pitied.
The man with the double sword sheathed his sword, bowed deeply to his opponent on the ground, and turned to leave.
Chu Xiang followed the man with two swords from a distance. After a while, the man with two swords bought two fish on the shore and carried them back. The man with the double swords lived in a relatively remote place. Chu Xiang followed him for a while and saw that there was no one around. He no longer concealed his figure and went straight towards the man with the double swords.
Feeling Chu Xiang's approaching hostility, the man with the double sword turned to look at Chu Xiang. He instantly understood that this was a challenger and immediately put down the fish in his hand.
Chu Xiang didn't speak, so of course he couldn't speak. Once he spoke, his secret would be revealed. Press the handle of the knife with your hand and bow to the opponent at 90 degrees, like an arrogant young man.
The man with the double sword shrank his pupils and his eyes changed, becoming the same as during the duel just now. He pressed the handle of the sword with his hand and bowed at the same ninety degrees.
Chu Xiang was approaching, and he drew his sword and slashed. It was a feint. The man with the double-sword style blocked with his left sword, and wiped his right sword towards Chu Xiang's waist. It seemed to be the same move as before, but it hid another change. Unfortunately, even if he It was useless to hide a hundred changes. Chu Xiang progressed along with the trend. The long knife pressed the opponent's left hand knife and dragged it across. The man with the double sword could not keep up with the speed of his changes, and was cut off from the chest by Chu Xiang's knife.
The man with the double sword stared wide-eyed, not believing that he was killed with just one sword.
Of course he didn't expect that if Chu Xiang didn't want to leave traces of the same moves as the arrogant young man on his sword, he wouldn't even have a chance to draw the sword.
After killing the target, Chu Xiang quickly left the scene and returned to the busy market.
Wandering aimlessly, Chu Xiang discovered that the area of Kyushu Island that was submerged by seawater exceeded his expectation. After walking for a while, he had already reached the other side of the sea after only five or six kilometers. The former urban area of Kagoshima was already huge. Part of it was sunk in the sea, and only the tall buildings refused to bend and endured the erosion of the sea.
Walking north along the coast, most of the trees on the shore are in a state of destruction. It is obvious that there have been many disasters such as typhoons and tsunamis. Chu Xiang looked like a ronin. No one wanted to provoke such a person, and Chu Xiang didn't want others to provoke him. He had no choice but to speak the language. As soon as he spoke, others would know that he was Chinese, which was his Achilles' heel.
Chu Xiang has been thinking about how to understand the situation in Japan. Communication is cut off and travel is inconvenient, resulting in extremely limited domestic understanding of Japan. A lot of information is brought back by lurkers here, and it is often out of date.
