Jiangnan.
Coastal town.
The town is extremely prosperous, not only because it is close to the sea, and trading ships have to pass here to replenish fresh water food or transfer goods, but also because it is the chief helm of the "Giant Whale Gang", the largest gang on the coast.
Twenty years ago, during the Battle of Taihu Lake, the vitality of the eight major sects was severely damaged. While they were recuperating, the Giant Whale Gang took advantage of the situation to rise and expand rapidly.
The Giant Whale Gang was highly valued by the court for helping to eliminate Japanese pirates and pirates that were raging along the coast, and for relieving victims of natural and man-made disasters.
With the support of the imperial court, the Giant Whale Gang expanded rapidly. Twenty years later, it has become the largest gang on the coast. Nowadays, in terms of wealth and disciples, it is still above the eight major sects. It's just that there is a lack of masters and insufficient foundation.
Three years ago, the Giant Whale Gang spent a lot of money to recruit masters from the Japanese Shinin Sect and Iga-ryu, and taught the gang members martial arts to deal with Japanese pirates and use barbarians to control barbarians.
The Iga-ryu people sent out elite disciples headed by Kobayashi Masaru, but the leader of the Shinin sect, Yagyu Taimamomo, traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains in person.
Under the guidance of Iga-ryu and Shinin-sect, the strength of the Whale Gang was significantly improved, and the casualty rate in the encirclement and suppression of Japanese pirates was greatly reduced. Therefore, Iga-ryu and Shinin-sect stayed together for three years.
…
This is a dry landscape courtyard with Japanese style, unique style.
A beautiful shadow is standing in the courtyard.
This is a stunningly beautiful girl with delicate appearance. She wears a princess cut, and her jet-black hair is tied with a red rope and draped behind her back.
The girl has a goddess-like appearance, although she wears a Japanese samurai uniform and carries a katana sword on her waist. But her slender waist, less than a handhold, was like catkins fluttering in the wind, which made people feel the desire to protect her.
But the residents in this small town all know that this woman is not as weak as she appears, and her katana is even more powerful. In terms of martial arts and sword skills, even Iga-ryu's Kobayashi Masato is no match for her, second only to the 'Head of the Shinin Sect' Yagyu Tajima Mamoru.
And this woman is Yagyu Tajima Mamoru's daughter - Yagyu Piaoxu.
Liu Shengpiaoxu's beautiful eyes suddenly opened, revealing a sharp light. Her jade hand held the hilt of the samurai sword, and her whole body immediately revealed a sharp beauty. It could not be played with from a distance, but her grace was enough to fascinate any man.
choke!
The samurai sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sharp and cold sword energy overflowed. The sword light swept across, bright and cold, making the entire yard turn white.
Liu Shengpiaoxu's swordsmanship is superb. Not to mention the small country of Japan, even in the entire Central Plains, there are not many people in the younger generation who can compete with her. This is not only because of her extraordinary talent in martial arts and Yagyu Taimamomo's teachings, but also because of her own hard training.
The sleeves of the girl's robe were flying, and her graceful figure was like flying into the sky, but the katana in her hand struck out like lightning, blooming with dazzling brilliance.
For a moment, the sword flashed with lightning, the sword energy surged like a surge, and the entire courtyard was filled with a chilling aura.
I don't know how long it took, but Liu Shengpiaoxu finally sheathed the sword. The originally white and crystal clear face was slightly dizzy after exercise, making it even more attractive.
"Very good, Miss Piaoxu is not only beautiful, she is also very good at wielding a knife. It's worth my coming all the way."
Suddenly, a clear sound of praise and applause sounded at the same time.
Yagyu's beautiful eyes flashed with light, and his body suddenly spun around. The katana in his hand was unsheathed again, and the sword light swept out like a long river.
However, this knife that was meant to never fail was struck in the air.
"It's just that his murderous intent is a bit stronger, and he draws his sword at every turn."
The voice came from the other side again. Liu Shengpiaoxu turned around and saw a young man in black, looking at it with a smile.
Yagyu Piaoxu didn't say anything, but he was like a thunderbolt, and the samurai sword came out again, creating a lightning bolt.
The figure of the young man in black seemed to move, but also seemed not to move, and then the sword failed again. The subtlety of this was beyond description in words.
The young man smiled and said: "My 'Tianwaitian' is not a righteous sect, so accepting a female devil like you is exactly what we complement each other."
Liu Sheng's eyes stared at the young man in black, and his voice was clear: "Who are you?"
After these two blows, she realized that the opponent was a master, perhaps even an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, and she couldn't help but become serious.
The young man in black smiled lightly and said: "My name is Yu Liancheng, you can also call me Number One Tianzun."
Liu Sheng Piaoxu said: "Yulian City? Your Excellency and I are strangers to each other. I don't know why you broke into Piaoxu's house?"
Yu Liancheng smiled and said: "I have established a strength called 'Tianwaitian', but I don't have many experts, so I want to recruit talents, and you are the one I like."
"You want to recruit me?" Liu Shengpiaoxu frowned.
Yu Liancheng smiled and said: "Not bad."
Liu Sheng's Piaoxu jade hand gently smoothed a hair, but his expression was still shrouded in a layer of chill: "What if I don't agree?"
Yu Liancheng smiled and said: "There is no deal in the world that cannot be negotiated, and there is no corner that cannot be dug."
"ah!"
"idiot!"
"Who...ah!!"
At this moment, appalling screams suddenly came from outside the hospital, weapons were clashing, and a bloody smell floated down the wind. It seemed that there was a fight not far away, and people died from time to time.
Liu Shengpiaoxu asked anxiously: "What happened outside? Was it your doing?"
The people living in this area were all disciples of the New Yin Sect, and she had already heard the miserable howls from many of her fellow disciples. It was obvious that they were being attacked, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
Yu Liancheng said calmly: "I am just settling the accounts they have committed in the past. Don't worry, I will definitely do the calculation very clearly and fairly. No matter how big a mistake you make, you will be punished accordingly. I will never... rarely kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Liu Shengpiaoxu snorted coldly, spread out his body skills, and was about to rush out of the yard.
But her eyes flashed as she was blocked by Yu Liancheng. She smiled and said, "You haven't agreed to my solicitation yet, how can I let you go?"
There was a "choking" sound, and the long knife in Liu Sheng's Piaoxu palm was unsheathed again. The strike was as fast as lightning, but it also carried the power of wind and thunder. The air around him seemed to be swept away by this knife.
A fallen leaf just flew above the knife and was instantly smashed into a ball of powder.
No one could have imagined that Liu Shengpiaoxu's slender and soft body could burst out with such terrifying power.
Yu Liancheng praised: "This sword is also very good."
With just one strike, he knew that Liu Shengpiaoxu's martial arts skills were definitely not inferior to those of the protectors and elders of the Demon Sect. He spoke in his mouth and pinched lightly with two fingers.
This clamp was just between lightning and stone fire. There was only a "clang" sound, and Liu Shengpiaoxu felt that the blade sank, and the bright silver light of the blade disappeared inch by inch.
Liu Sheng Piaoxu's pretty face couldn't help but change color. Even if her father took action, he would never be able to take the sword with just two fingers. She circulated her Qi and tried to pull out two fingers of the knife, but it seemed to be rooted.
Yu Liancheng smiled slightly, shook his wrist, and loosened his fingers. The surging force came from the sword body. Liu Shengpiaoxu couldn't help but trembled, and staggered back two steps, his blood surging.
"Ordinary sword skills are not the slightest threat to me. Use your father's teachings about Snow Falling on the World or Killing the God with one strike."
