The tenth type of water breathing is the flow of life.
This is a sword skill in which the power of the slash will increase slightly every time you turn around and charge up.
Like the overlapping waves, the blade overlaps one by one like flowing water, and finally turns into a waterfall-like impact of great force.
And Tomioka Yoshiyuki.
From a very far distance, the moment he barely spotted the hand ghost with his sight, he started to turn around and accumulate strength.
…
…
in the forest.
"...Damn it, damn it."
The hand ghost gnashed his teeth and muttered, and his huge body moved forward slowly.
The expression on his face was vaguely angry, and his anxiety made him scratch his body vigorously, and blood marks appeared on his body.
This is the first time that Linlong's little devil has been allowed to run away.
No, the most important thing is——
The hand ghost's eyes narrowed slightly, and the arms wrapped around his neck to protect his neck tightened unconsciously, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
That kid knew his purpose and existence.
Troublesome guy…
Maybe soon, someone will come to Tengxi Mountain for screening.
It seems that I need to hide for a while these days.
but.
The hand ghost's anxious mood disappeared, and he thought about it again, his yellow eyes curled up with a smile, and the joy of revenge welling up in his heart.
——That guy Lintaki will definitely know through that kid what has become of the "talisman" he made for his disciples over the years.
"...Hehe." He chuckled strangely, and the whole ghost swayed slightly. Nothing would make him happier than letting Linglong collapse:
"Be sad, collapse, everyone died because of you... Hehe..."
"Everyone looks like you killed them yourself...it's just too..."
Just when the hand ghost was talking to himself excitedly in a low voice.
Wow——! !
A strange sound suddenly flooded into his ears.
He was slightly startled as his ears surrounded by arms could not hear the sound clearly.
wind?
The hand ghost's expression was stunned. The strange sound was getting closer and closer. He stayed where he was. His huge body prevented him from fully observing his surroundings for a while.
No.
He turned his head sideways, his eyes becoming serious.
It's the sound of water!
This sound was extremely familiar to him. Having eaten thirteen water-breathing swordsmen, he could instantly recognize the sound of the water-breathing swordsmanship taught by Lintaki.
But the sound just now was different from the sounds I heard before.
Before Hand Ghost had time to think clearly.
Wow——! !
A blue reflection faintly flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the reflection.
He only had time to see clearly behind him, and the trees in that direction had long been cut in half into a road that was heading straight towards him!
Uh-huh!
A foot stepped hard on his abdomen!
"Pfft!!" Hand Ghost's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked down suddenly, a stream of blood spurting out from his covered mouth.
The figure wearing a two-color feathered fabric took advantage of his strength, stepped on his body, clenched the handle of the knife, and jumped up high!
Subconsciously, he followed the leaping figure and looked above him.
Under the moonlight.
Giyu Tomioka jumped out of the tree canopy. His back was to the moon, and the backlight made it impossible for the hand ghost to see his appearance clearly.
The sun blade raised high reflected the cold light, carrying the waves with great smoothness, and formed a ferocious roaring dragon head at the edge of the blade.
Reflected in the hand ghost's widened pupils.
next moment.
Tomioka Giyuu tightened his arms and slashed with all his strength!
"Roar--!!"
Perhaps it was an auditory hallucination, but the hand ghost seemed to see the roaring water dragon rushing down with the horizontal slash of the blade.
Uh-huh!
It opened and closed like a roar, biting his neck violently.
The sharp blade was also at this moment, easily slicing through the arm he was using to protect his neck.
Poof!
Momentarily stunned!
The stunned head of the hand ghost flew high in the moonlight.
Then Gululu rolled to the ground.
behind.
Snap.
Tomioka Yiyong landed on the ground and crouched slightly to relieve his strength. He slowly stood up and flicked the blood stained on the blade that gradually turned into ashes.
He turned slightly sideways and looked condescendingly at the hand ghost who had rolled to the ground and was gradually looking at him.
"What..." Hand Ghost looked at Tomioka Giyuu in a daze, he was just murmuring something.
Everything happens in an instant.
He didn't even have time to react before his head was cut off smoothly.
When his brain was in chaos, his eyes were in a daze, blinking hard and looking ahead.
Taking advantage of this moment, he saw clearly the pattern of the haori on Tomioka Yoshiyuki's body.
!
See this.
"Do you know him?" Tomioka Giyuu looked at the hand ghost with only one head left, and he raised half of his feather fabric.
This half of the haori has the same pattern as the rabbit.
The other half belonged to his sister.
The two halves of the haori were sewn together to form the current Tomioka Giyu.
The hand ghost stared at the pattern of the feather fabric, and the memory suddenly emerged in his mind - it was the strongest person among the people he had ever eaten. How could he forget:
"That little fox..."
The words he gritted out through gritted teeth were unable to utter even half of his words.
Uh-huh!
The sharp knife light suddenly passed across his face, quickly cutting it into several parts!
Click.
After putting the knife into his scabbard.
Tomioka Giyu slowly opened his mouth, exhaled a stream of white steam, and stared at the hand ghost on the ground that was gradually turning into ashes:
“…go to hell.”
After quietly watching the hand ghost completely dissipate.
He looked around, imprinting everything around him in his heart.
Uh-huh!
It turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.
…
In the wisteria forest.
"...Where are you?" Yin held up the light, frowned, looked around carefully, and moved forward little by little.
Put your other hand behind your back, ready to set off fireworks to alert your teammates down the mountain if something goes wrong.
At this time.
Uh-huh!
The familiar breeze blew across his face again.
Yin was suddenly startled, turned his head left and right and shouted:
"Ah! Ah!?"
…
…
soon.
Saagiri Mountain.
The wooden house where Rintagisa lived in seclusion for the first time.
Boom boom.
There was a dull knock on the wooden door.
Lintaki, who couldn't fall asleep for a long time every night, was naturally awake now. He pushed open the wooden door and looked outside the house.
"...Yong." Linlong opened his mouth slightly.
outside the door.
Tomioka Giyuu was lowering his head, his eyes like deep pools not knowing what he was thinking.
Sniff.
The tip of Linlong's nose twitched slightly, and a breath of extreme sadness was flowing from the disciple in front of him.
See this.
He didn't say anything more.
He just took a slight step forward, stretched out his hand, hugged the disciple into his arms, and gently patted the top of his head with his rough hands.
Just like six years ago when he saw Tomioka Giyu come back alive.
sand…
In a trance.
Several illusory figures appeared all around along with the fog.
They circled closer and hugged Lintaki together.
The one leaning in the middle is Qiu Rabbit, who has taken off his mask.
And another girl with long hair and green eyes.
Among the people.
"Ahem...ho..."
Tomioka Giyu, who had always been expressionless, finally clenched his sore teeth at this moment, choked with sobs, and tears poured out of his eyes.
Snap.
The dripping tears reflected the moon in the night sky and fell on Qiu Rabbit's feather fabric, soaking it all.
