"Something bad happened. Lord Yagyu Jubei was killed by Battousai."
"Batōsai is a murderer. She is not a hero at all."
"Master Yagyu is such a good person, how could he kill Battousai?"
"The executioner is the executioner. Her killing methods were so cruel before. I said how could she be a hero?"
The next day, as new notices were posted all over the city, the entire Heian Kyo became lively again. Battosai, who had been sought after by thousands of people just a few days ago, and who wished he could be directly praised as the savior of Japan, was still the protagonist of the topic this time. , but this time her reputation has completely reversed.
And all this was just because of the death of Yagyu Jubei.
Unlike Battousai, who had just left the house in the past two days, Yagyu Jubei was a veteran swordsman, and he was also one with a very high reputation.
She had been traveling around the island in the past few years, acting bravely when she saw justice. She didn't know how many people had benefited from her. But now that her benefactor was killed like this, many people were immediately upset.
They were really not familiar with the Battōsai stuff, and the hero titles were announced on notices posted by the Chinese. Ordinary Japanese witches were not very interested in what the Chinese grandpas announced, thinking that it might be a hype. What.
The more grandpas praise them, the more disgusted they become.
And now, the good swordsman who was truly recognized by the public died at the hands of the person who was praised before, which makes people think of various conspiracy theories.
Therefore, for a moment, Battousai, who had been praised to the sky before and had not yet firmly sat on the altar, fell directly into the sewer and became a street rat that everyone shouted to beat.
"Hehehe, miss, your hero experience card has expired."
Next to a notice board outside a certain village, among the indignant villagers, Wen Wen turned to look at the eldest lady beside him and said teasingly.
Dorothy didn't feel much about this. She had long expected such a day.
"Nothing to worry about, let's go."
The house witch just shook her head, then wrapped her black robe tightly around her body and turned around to leave.
Seeing her like this, another figure also wrapped in a black robe quickly followed.
"I'm sorry, Lord Tsukimi Hei, I've caused trouble for you."
After the three people left the crowd, the hooded man in black robes raised his head and said apologetically to Dorothy.
This is surprisingly the Yagyu Jubei who was rumored to be dead.
Time goes back to yesterday.
After Dorothy slashed with her sword, Yagyu Jubei was stunned.
To put it bluntly, the so-called swordless attack means using the sword with nothing. It requires inserting into the flaw in the opponent's sword move at the right time, and then directly seizing the opponent's weapon.
The principle is this and it is not complicated. The real difficulty lies in how to find and seize the opponent's weaknesses.
But how can opponents of the same level be so easily caught by you? Who dares to make a mistake in a duel between truly equally matched masters? A mistake often means death.
Therefore, the swordless attack is actually not a move that can be used on opponents of the same level, but is used exclusively for torture.
To put it bluntly, it’s because I am much stronger than my opponent. In my eyes, my opponent’s attacks are like a child’s play and I can manipulate them at will.
The strongest swordsman is not the sword move of no sword at all, but the swordsman who uses no sword.
The secret of this move is that your swordsmanship must be several levels better than your opponent's.
Others didn't know much about it. They just saw that the swordsmen of the Yagyu family could easily defeat their opponents with no sword every time, so they passed it on and became the secret skill of the Yagyu Shininryu.
However, Yagyu Jubei's no-sword attack is different from other people's no-sword attack that can only be used to torture vegetables. Hers is truly of practical value. It can not only torture vegetables, but also opponents of the same level. She can easily handle opponents who are a little more powerful than herself.
This move is the real secret sword to her.
And here's the secret.
Well, actually the secret has nothing to do with the swordsmanship, but the eyes.
It is well known that Yagyu Jubei is a one-eyed swordsman. There are many rumors about why she has one eye.
Some people say that she was attacked by gangsters when she was doing chivalry and accidentally injured one of her eyes.
Some people also say that when she was competing with her mother, because her talent was too high, her mother was frightened and accidentally used all her strength. As a result, she lost her strength and injured an eye.
In short, there are different opinions.
The fact is that she awakened a magic eye the day after tomorrow. The right eye under her eye patch is a magic eye, and it is also a very powerful diamond-level magic eye.
The Demonic Eye of Mianqie, this is the name of her Demonic Eye.
The ability of the magic eye is also very simple. She can see through other people's flaws at a glance.
As long as the gap between her and the target is not too big, then relying on the ability of this magic eye, other people's attacks will be full of loopholes in her eyes.
And this magic eye and the skill of swordless attack can be said to be a perfect match. When someone strikes with a knife, she will just see it and follow the opponent's flaw to launch a counterattack.
This demonic eye was not born with her, but was awakened the day after tomorrow. At that time, she was still young and practiced with Teacher Tsukahara in the mountains. As a result, she accidentally encountered the overlord of the mountains, a winged tiger demon.
As soon as the tiger demon saw her, he executed a small combo of tiger leap and tiger pounce, but she followed it with a sliding shovel, and with her backhand, she directly used the knife in her hand to disembowel the tiger demon.
It was at that time that the Demonic Eye of Jianqie awakened.
Yun Conglong, Feng Conghu, the winged tiger demon's attack was carried by the force of the wind, extremely fast, far beyond what she could compare to when she was still young at that time. At that time, she didn't react at all, and then she was When the tiger claw was less than one centimeter away from her, everything in her eyes suddenly became slow, and then the tiger demon's movements were broken down and outlined bit by bit.
A thread that only she could see emerged from her sight, and Jubei Koyagyu raised the knife in his hand with great joy and drew it along the thread. In this way, he completed the achievement of killing the tiger with a sliding shovel.
But now, the ability of this magic eye has long been developed and used by her to perfection. Except for Tsukahara-sensei's flawless Ichinotachi skill, all other people's sword moves have flaws in her eyes.
This is true even for my mother and grandmother, the two great swordsmen who have been famous for longer.
If she doesn't look at magic power and only competes with swordsmanship, her mother and grandmother are actually no longer her opponents.
However, now, Miss Jianhao encounters a special situation that she has never seen before.
In her eyes, Battousai's slashes were all flaws. This slash really couldn't be called swordsmanship. If an apprentice in his dojo dared to slash like this, Yagyu Jubei would definitely scold him. Then I asked that guy to practice the nine swords and thirteen postures of basic swordsmanship thousands of times. This basic skill was a mess, and I couldn't even stand it.
Anyway, the flawed threads that Jianqie's Demon Eye saw were no longer just a matter of a few, they were as densely packed as a ball of yarn.
But it was obviously a sword full of flaws, but when Yagyu Jubei really wanted to follow any flaw to take it out without a sword, she was shocked to find that the thread just disappeared.
No, it can't be said to have disappeared. It should be said to have been displaced, from this position to another.
And when she tried another one, the same thing happened again.
This line of weakness of Battousai is really like the ball of wool in a cat's paw. You can't find where the thread is because it may change at any time.
It is obviously full of flaws, but because of the constant changes at this moment, it seems that there are no weaknesses.
This is really the first time I have seen Miss Jianhao in this situation.
However, Yagyu Jubei is not the kind of waste who can only rely on the magic eye. Without the magic eye, she is directly vulnerable. After realizing that the magic eye is invalid, she simply closed the magic eye and prepared to directly use her own hard training for many years. Use your swordsmanship to fight against the enemy.
After all, she was a real swordsman, and the Battousai opposite didn't look very old. Anyway, he was probably younger than himself, who was already in his sixties this year.
Facing a swordsman who is younger than herself, Miss Swordsman does not feel that she will lose in swordsmanship.
However.
The truth came so quickly.
It was okay to rely on the magic eyes to observe before, but when he switched to the swordsmanship perspective, Yagyu Jubei immediately saw the true power hidden in this sword.
The existence called Sword Soul.
Sword spirit is not unusual for swordsmen of the swordsman level. Yagyu Jubei himself also has a sword spirit, which is the sublimation of the living sword spirit passed down from generation to generation in the Yagyu family.
This living sword soul can greatly enhance the deterrent power of their swordsmanship, dispel the hostility and fighting spirit of the opponent, and achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.
In addition to the sword souls of the Yagyu family, she has also seen the sword souls of other Japanese swordsmen, such as Tsukahara-sensei's Zen-Hearted Soul of the Sky, or Kamizumi-sensei's Sword-Only Soul.
But
"Can this damn thing be called a sword soul?"
Yagyu Jubei had never seen such a special sword soul as Battousai before.
At this moment, in her eyes, the thing that was slashing towards her was not a sword at all, but an entire civilization.
It was a place where all races were harmonious and the world was united. It was as beautiful as Fantasyland in a fairy tale world that deceived children.
In the phantom of the sword soul, Miss Swordsman saw witches and demons drinking happily, angels and dragons laughing together, orcs and elves can be lovers, and winged men and sea people can become friends.
The entire world will no longer be respected by blood. All living beings are equal. Everyone will only assume different responsibilities based on their abilities. Their positions may be higher or lower, but human rights are equal to all living beings.
She saw that all the ethnic groups with different races and cultures were all gathered together in one place.
emmm, okay, it’s really a hammer.
Everyone gathers under a hammer, and is united under the guidance of the laws and rules engraved on the hammer. Everyone has only one goal, and that is to build this home that belongs to everyone better and better. .
However, just when Miss Jianhao was dazzled by this prosperous and prosperous scene that she had never dreamed of, and couldn't help but want to sink into it, suddenly, all the people of all races in Fantasyland came together. He turned to look at her.
"Sister, are you sure you want to stop us from building our home?"
"Sister, do you really want to be our enemy?"
Countless people shouted in unison, and the questions were like thunder, hitting her heart like a hammer, torturing her heart.
At this moment, Yagyu Jubei already understood the meaning of the question that Miss Battousai asked her just now, and also understood the true pursuit in the heart of this seemingly cold and crazy swordsman.
That is the great wish of the world to be unified, everyone is for one, and I am for everyone.
This is not a sword soul at all, it is clearly a torrent of humanity rolling in.
The scene of Gensokyo praised by all nations is not an illusion at all. It is the most sincere desire and prayer deep in the hearts of countless people who have suffered and been oppressed throughout the world.
This world is an idealistic world, and the power of the heart is infinite. Even now, all kinds of violence and desires have taken over the mainstream, suppressing the desires of hundreds of millions of weak people and being unable to stand up for the time being.
But this people's will is unstoppable. Quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. Sooner or later, this powerful and unstoppable force will break through all seals. At that time, as long as there is a little spark to ignite, it will turn into the sun and moon that dares to be called. The blazing fire that changes the sky turns everything upside down.
Just like the sword intention of Battousai now.
The vision of Gensokyo in her heart was just an introduction. What really made the sword intention so terrifying was the rolling desire for humanity that was attracted by the resonance of the sword intention.
Even if it only attracts the tip of the iceberg of the great wish of humanity, this force is already unstoppable.
Yagyu Jubei realized this in his heart.
There is no way she can block this sword, and the sword that carries the vision of all people is simply not something she can capture.
Let alone seizing the sword, even if Battousai took the initiative to hand over the sword to her, Miss Swordsman didn't think she could grasp it.
She was afraid that if she hadn't just taken the knife, the next moment she would be directly shocked by the wish of all people, she would roll her eyes, drool, and be a fool who only knows "Aba".
The water for this sword was too deep, and she really couldn't grasp it.
Fortunately, Battousai didn't have any killing intention towards her, and this sword didn't even use magic power, so although she couldn't catch it, she could completely avoid it.
However, just when Yagyu Jubei was about to dodge to the side to avoid the sword and admit defeat at the same time.
She felt a sudden pain in her heart.
Miss Jianhao looked down and saw a sharp long knife sticking out of her heart.
Damn, her mind was so absorbed by Battousai's sword intent just now that she didn't realize that someone had sneaked up behind her.
At the end, Yagyu Jubei turned around and saw the identity of the sneak attack.
It was a figure that was very familiar to her.
She didn't come alone to block the way to Battousai today. She also brought a confidant, her junior sister-Takaji Kaori.
But now, her most trusted junior sister wanted to tell her something that was deep in her heart.
"Senior sister, please forgive me. I am also forced to do nothing. I will go down to accompany you soon."
This junior sister who had actually always admired her said this with tears in her eyes.
But that sword that pierces the heart is really fast and accurate.
As expected of the junior sister who was taught by me, her swordsmanship is really good.
Miss Jianhao thought so in her heart.
She believed that the junior sister was indeed forced to do nothing. After all, she knew how kind this junior sister was in daily life.
So who forced her?
Yagyu Jubei sighed, and finally she suddenly realized something.
Yes, some things really have nothing to do with good or evil, and their existence itself is a mistake.
Miss Jianhao is enlightening.
Well, it's the last day, vote.
