Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 386: The Seventh Battle of the Heroic Swordsman: The Fourth Battle of Killing is Not Killing People

The best way to hone and improve a warrior is undoubtedly to fight to the limit or even beyond the limit.

Li Ye is very clear about this.

After all, he had fought with many heroes along the way, whether they were at the pinnacle of human skills or those who had reached the realm of gods, he had fought against them all.

But Li Ye did not reach the end of the sword path.

The last time he improved significantly was when he fought against the two great heroes Siegfried and Karna. The pressure forced Li Ye to improve, but he still had not reached the realm of God.

Knowing that he couldn't force things, Li Ye just steadily honed his skills, but today, Li Ye saw a different possibility.

The sword skills displayed by that girl were so——【Beautiful】.

Thrust, swing, slash, hit; every shot of this deadly spear is called [Oborozuki Eleven Styles]. This technique alone can elevate it to the level of a treasure.

The monk who had fallen into the state of a demon acted swiftly, simply and efficiently, without leaving a single flaw. His movements, combined with his self-created Cross-Character Spear, were a powerful combination, and the martial arts he displayed amazed Li Ye.

Even though he didn't fight with him, Li Ye could benefit a lot from those actions.

Li Ye, who possesses the Holy Spear Rongominiard, has also done some research on spearmanship.

Although he is not as good as the Heroic Spirits who mainly use spears, he can be said to have some experience. However, he seems a little immature when facing spearmen like Hozoin.

But this is not a big deal. After seeing the eleventh style of Oborozuki, Li Ye was able to absorb many skills and use them for his own benefit.

Compared to the eleventh style of Oborozuki, which is worthy of being praised as being in the realm of gods and Buddhas, the blooming Tianyuan flower is what makes Li Ye feel amazed and even praised.

In just a few tens of seconds, or even less than a few minutes, Musashi's swordsmanship had improved significantly compared to his previous fight with Li Ye.

The true meaning of kendo gradually revealed itself in her firm will, and the vacancy she had pursued all her life seemed to have truly appeared at the end.

Unlike Hozoin Inshun, who is a heroic spirit, Musashi, who walks the world as a living being, is an individual with infinite possibilities, and his skills have unlimited growth potential.

And this infinity is also revealed at this moment.

Ding-ding-ding-ding——

Blood flowers were blooming, that was not the blood of Hozoin Inshun, but the blood of Musashi.

Even as he continued to make progress, his mind was constantly analyzing the spear of Hozoin Yinshun, in order to find the flaws of the spear of the god and Buddha that he encountered for the first time.

But Musashi still couldn't get closer to Hozoin Inshun during this period of time.

Even though Hozoin Inshun's spear was tainted and no longer had that clear technique, it was still an astonishing martial art, and the pressure on Musashi was unprecedented.

My spirit was extremely tense and my heartbeat was like the sound of a huge bell, exploding in my ears again and again.

The swung sword tore through the air, confronting the incoming spear head-on.

The almost irresistible force forced the body to adjust and relieve the incoming force.

The sword skills acquired over the years were now fully utilized and grown to their full potential. The pleasing progress made Musashi's vision gradually blurred.

External factors gradually disappeared from the senses, and only that person remained.

Hozoin Inshun, a truly strong man.

His spear skills were so superb that even Musashi became obsessed with them.

If he hadn't fallen into the state of a demon, Musashi couldn't think of a way to defeat him on his own at this moment.

The sweat drifted away with the wind.

And the girl named Shinmen Musashi no Kami Fujiwara no Genshin also has her eyes fixed on a single target.

That is a special mystical eye called the "Heavenly Eye", which is regarded as the "power to achieve one's goal".

Once you decide to accomplish something, you will devote yourself to it to ensure that your goal is achieved.

It can also be said that it is the ability to entrust one's entire existence to the sight and project it towards the destination, but Musashi only uses the Heaven's Eye for things like "Destroying this Place".

What she wanted to cut off at this moment was not the body of Baozangin Yinshun, nor his spirit, but - [destiny], to cut off the fate of the person named Baozangin Yinshun!
Cut off his immortal fate!

hum.

At the moment when he tried his best to break the Jumonji Gun in Hozoin Inshun's hand, Musashi grabbed the demon sword he got from Muramasa.

“That is——”

Li Ye, who was watching this scene, was stunned and exclaimed with great joy: "Musashi, what an amazing achievement and skill——"

Just like slicing off the reflection of the moon on the water, the blade slashed through [something] smoothly.

It is neither a heart nor a soul, but something more ambiguous, yet necessary in the world - a destined fate, like a fatalistic existence, that has been severed.

puff.

Horrifying blood flowers bloomed, and although there was no obvious injury, the completely powerless Baozangyuan Yinshun fell backwards, laughing: "Ha, ha - the decisive move, it is indeed a remarkable thing."

Even though he fell into the state of a demon, Hozoin Inshun's knowledge had not diminished, and he could still see the beauty of Musashi's swordsmanship.

"This is the blade that can hit my soul core hidden in the distance without any deviation—"

The cursed Hozoin Inshun is, as he said, nothing more than a corpse armor. The soul core, which is the core of the servant, has long been taken away, making his pseudo-immortality possible.

But Musashi's sword can even hit the spirit core in the distance!
"Excellent, Musashi."

Li Ye, clapping his hands and sighing, walked slowly over, looking at the Hozoin Yinshun who had been completely killed by Musashi, and said: "It's not about killing people, how wonderful it is."

"Oh, you can see it!"

Musashi, holding the demon sword in one hand, grinned, breaking away from his immersion in the battle, and said with a smile: "I will definitely win the next competition!"

Musashi gained a lot from the battle with Hozoin Inshun, which was an amazing battle she had never encountered before.

The opponent is someone who has reached the realm of gods and Buddhas. The pressure of life and death causes Musashi to achieve a breakthrough in swordsmanship at the critical moment.

Even cutting off the invisible thing——

It's not just Musashi. Even though Li Ye, who did not experience the battle personally and was just a bystander, also got some of the essence of both.

With his current observation skills and insights, he is fully capable of following the battle between the two and even making comments.

This made Li Ye even more excited to see Musashi continue to grow.

For Musashi as a living being, there is no doubt about the possibility.

What is needed is a mortal enemy like Hozoin Inshun.

With such thoughts in mind, Li Ye cast a glance before Hozoin Yinshun, who was killed by Musashi, completely disappeared.

But it is not the person who is observing this dissipation, but the deeper [curse]

It was inflicted on Hozoin Inshun, causing him to degenerate into a demon, and even becoming the source of all creatures.

"The source of the witchcraft——"

Li Ye, who had taken note of the ominous aura flowing in the corpse of Hozoin Yinshun and was ready to use it to find other heroic swordsmen, clapped his hands, then smiled at Musashi and Sengo Muramasa, "Do you want to take a break now?" Before he finished speaking, the night retreated, and a light like the morning soon covered the sky.

With the death of the heroic swordsman Baozangyuan Yinshun, this sudden attack by Huasheng came to an end.

"Eat, eat, grandpa, I'm so hungry!"

Musashi groaned as he touched his belly, "By the way, Grandpa, does your sword have an inscription? It really can cut through iron like mud!"

As he spoke, Musashi took out the demon sword that he could not throw away. The demon sword that Muramasa regarded as an ominous one, and Musashi was very satisfied with it.

If it weren't for this magic sword, she wouldn't have been able to successfully cut off Baozangyuan Yinshun.

Kendo is not just about technique, the coordination of equipment is particularly important.

If he could reach the divine realm by relying only on an ordinary sword, or a large sword as long as a clothesline, his sword skills would even surpass those of many heroes. He must be a true [Sword Saint].

As he spoke, Musashi couldn't help but swing the magic sword in his hand, and the cold sword light flashed in front of Li Ye's eyes.

Feeling the lightness of the object in his hand, Musashi said excitedly: "In addition to this lightness, no, the feel and weight are very solid, but it is lighter than a feather when wielded! Grandpa! This sword is really great! It fits the hand so well that it is unbelievable!
Although I decided not to bring a fifth knife, but this one - well, it's too unusual, maybe it's okay!"

"Really? What?"

After returning to the thatched hut and preparing meals for Musashi and Li Ye, Chiko Muramasa said inwardly, "One moment you are quiet, the next you laugh. You are really an uneasy girl. You are not as straightforward as that boy."

"Huh? Me?"

Li Ye, who followed Chizi Muramasa into the thatched hut, was using the letter paper constructed by the projection to write a letter of apprenticeship. Hearing this, he looked up at Musashi and Chizi Muramasa and smiled faintly: "I'm actually very honest!"

"Is this writing a letter?"

A Feng, who was kneeling beside him, came over curiously, wanting to see what Li Ye was writing.

A Feng, who had never seen these things before, was curious about everything.

Seeing this, Chiko Muramasa also put on a gentle smile: "No problem, take it. This can be regarded as a thank you gift for you protecting Afeng and the others here. If this sword that should not be used by anyone can be regarded as a thank you gift, I would be more than happy to accept it."

"Hey, are you really willing to give it to me?"

Although she expressed her love for the demon sword, Musashi did not seem to expect that Sengo Muramasa would give her the sword so easily.

"That's what I said, I won't break my promise."

Chizi Muramasa's eyes wandered as he said, "I have said this just now, right? This is a failed product, a replica of a demon sword that accidentally touched the realm of the devil.

The ultimate knife that I pursue is not the one that can cut flesh and break bones. After all, other things can do this, such as axes, kitchen knives and the like. But for humans who have dedicated their entire lives to knives, it is impossible to be satisfied with things of this level.

After all, what I am pursuing is to settle the grudges - a famous sword that cuts off cause and effect, cuts off fate, and cuts off karma.

Anyway, if you can't even do these things, how can you shamelessly call yourself a knife maker?"

"Muramasa, you are raising the industry standards now!"

Li Ye, who was writing furiously, shouted, "It will be very difficult for others to survive now!"

"Even karma, fate, and karma can be cut off. So that's how it is. It means I am freed from karma."

Musashi understood and said, "So, Lord Hozoin Inshun seems to have mentioned this, so it's no coincidence that this sword can kill him, even though you said it was a failure.

But at least I was able to kill the undead monster that was filled with karma from killing people!"

At this point, Musashi revealed a faint shy smile: "Although I relied on this sword to kill him, it was not my own strength that killed him!"

"Hey, do you think you won thanks to the knife?"

Hearing this, even Chiko Muramasa smiled faintly: "You are quite knowledgeable, you really are quite knowledgeable.

Hmm, do you want to stay here? I will not only prepare the food, but also the bed."

At this time, in Li Ye's view, Qian Zicun was just an old man who was happy to be praised for his work.

After a brief moment of joy, Chiko Muramasa continued, "Having said that, it still doesn't change the fact that this sword is a failure. A sword alone cannot cut off karma and fate. Or can we say that the user's level is pretty good, right?

As for the sword inscription you asked about, if I must say it, it would be [Myojinkiri Muramasa]. "

----

After a rest, while Musashi was full of energy, Li Ye also prepared to go to the Tuqi Castle that Sengoku Muramasa had mentioned to check it out.

If necessary, we should also visit the legendary Katori Shrine.

But before they set off, they gained a new and incredible partner.

"Go to the city, go to the city!"

With an excited look on his face, Afeng carried his younger brother Tian Zhu on his back, feeling happy and full of imagination about the upcoming trip to Tuqi City.

There were no other obstacles on the road to Tuqi City. Although the speed was limited by Afeng's leg strength, the distance itself was not far. He arrived at the town called Tuqi City in less than an hour or two.

It was difficult for Li Ye to connect the community in front of him to a city, but since it was called Tuqi City, he would just call it that for now.

The rest of the customs and habits in the Tuqi City are easy to deal with. The moment Li Ye stepped into the Tuqi City, he noticed the reactions of more than one servant!
Such a large number of Servants gathered together, it was truly——

Exciting!
Although he was unable to detect any ominous aura similar to that of the Heroic Swordsman, with the reactions of so many servants, Li Ye gained a lot from this trip.

With this thought in mind, Li Ye took Musashi and Afeng to the nearest heroic spirit.

Tread.

“The city is so big!”

The still lively Afeng showed extraordinary vitality that adults like Li Ye did not possess, and he moved quickly even with Tian Zhu on his back.

until--

"Oh wow, little sister is very happy?"

The good wife fox named Tamamonomae appeared in front of Li Ye again and touched Afeng's little head with a smile.

"Tamamonomae?"

After confirming through the spirit base reaction that the target was correct and that there was no ominous aura like that of the Heroic Sword Master, Li Ye asked in surprise, "Are you an ownerless or possessed fox?"

"It's an ownerless fox."

Tamamonomae let go of her hand and smiled faintly: "Do you know her? But the name Tamamonomae seems a bit too exaggerated. Why not call me Xiaoyu?"

"Okay Jade, no problem Jade."

Tamamonomae curled her lips and continued, "It seems that you are also from other places, right? Actually, I am too. I traveled a long way from Edo, crossed rivers and mountains, and finally came here half a year ago.

Then you also saw it, such a magnificent castle, it looks like the emperor's castle, worthy of being the rustic castle of the emperor's domain, and you also know that this castle is ruled by Lord Matsudaira, a blood relative of the Tokugawa Shogun, right?"

"The Servant who appeared half a year ago—"

Li Ye stroked his chin, stared at Tamamonomae in front of him, and said with a smile: "Can you tell me the information about the Heroic Swordsman?"
