Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 84 Slash
Musashi stepped forward again and swung his sword, cutting open the cloak.

Instantly the cloak returned to normal.

At this moment, Musashi understood that Lu Chen must have other methods that he didn't know about. Wouldn't he be willing to kill him in this way? What was his scruples?

Musashi then spoke: "It seems you have some tricks I don't know about. Before, some officers gave me trouble, and I killed them easily. So now I am a gangster. I am different from other people in this world, so don't worry about the trouble of killing me. Every time I hold the sword, I am determined to die. Show your determination to kill me. That is the greatest respect for me. And I will also be determined to kill you."

Musashi already had the intention to leave, but he still would not let go of any opponent in front of him.

He likes to fight wantonly, he likes to slash, he likes the feeling of cutting through people's bodies with a sword.

Lu Chen nodded and replied, "I've killed many people before, using bullets, knives, and every other method I could think of. So next I'll use all the methods I have."

Musashi laughed loudly. "I really like you. Now you can be called a swordsman. You have stepped into the Tao."

"How can I be called a sword master if I don't even have a sword?"

"How can a sword be so inconvenient? Everything is a sword. Naturally, everything has its own Dao. You have your own Dao, so you can naturally be called a Sword Saint. This is a recognition from the unparalleled in the world. From now on, you can proudly call yourself a Sword Saint."

"Okay, I'll call myself the Sword Master when I introduce myself later."

Since he had said that he would give it his all, Lu Chen also began to use his Stand ability. Now that Musashi had the ability to kill him, Lu Chen would not hold back.

The cloak split into two flowing swords.

Musashi was extremely shocked by this operation: "You actually know witchcraft? You are really powerful."

Pique had no idea what was going on. He had been in a daze since a while ago.

"I won't hold back from now on."

Musashi raised his sword and said, "Come on." At this moment he had the confidence to win.

When the flowing sword touched Musashi's sword, it did not collide as Musashi had imagined. Instead, it immediately enveloped Musashi's sword. Then, it flowed downwards, binding Musashi's hands.

The substitute Mind Steel punched Musashi in the back, causing him to stumble and collide with another sword that was approaching him.

The sword instantly became extremely sharp and pierced through Musashi's chest with ease.

Musashi was spitting blood from his mouth. For the first time, he experienced what it felt like to be cut by a sword.

He had always been the one to kill others, but today it was finally his turn to experience that feeling.

"So it was you who grabbed my sword back then." Musashi finally understood why he couldn't kill Retsukaiou. The sudden punch from behind made him realize a lot.

Musashi continued to ask, "So you are the incarnation of the gods and Buddhas on earth? Does my unauthorized resurrection violate the [Order]? No wonder I can't see what's behind you. So you are here to maintain order in the world."

The two swords began to flow and turned into cloaks again.

Lu Chen put his cloak back on and replied, "I'm not some god or Buddha. You may have really violated some [order]. But it has nothing to do with me. I just want to challenge the strong."

"Oh, I see. Are you planning to leave too?"

"Yes, I will be leaving soon. I will leave this world after I challenge the strongest person in the world."

"How greedy! Even the title of unrivaled in the world can't satisfy you. But the strongest person in the world is indeed very strong. You will go to see the sights that I have never seen, right?"

“There should be something incredible.”

Then Musashi looked at the sword in his hand and said to Lu Chen reluctantly:
"I wish I could see those incredible things. I give you this golden sword. I know that by following you, I will not tarnish its reputation."

"I don't know any swordsmanship. And my cloak is more than enough."

"The so-called kendo is a lifelong career that one chooses and pursues. You have already made up your mind to follow the kendo path. And fighting is just that simple." Lu Chen shook his head and rejected the suggestion: "You can keep it. I can bury it with you. After all, this sword belongs to Miyamoto Musashi. It does not belong to me."

It would be better to use your cloak than to hold a weapon that is not very flexible. The cloak can also be transformed into a sharp blade when necessary.

After saying this, Musashi fell to the ground due to his serious injuries.

He lay on the ground, holding up his precious sword Jin Zhong, looking at the sky and saying:

"The times have abandoned me. This era doesn't need unrivaled warriors. I was merely resurrected to serve as a tool for self-affirmation. From the very beginning, there has been only endless darkness behind me."

Musashi's words were not without reason. From the beginning, all the fighters thought about was how to defeat him. No one cared about what an ancient person would think when he came here.

However, Lu Chen understood that Musashi would never abide by the modern order from the beginning, even if someone cared about him.

"Don't you enjoy it? You don't care about any of this. You just want to practice your ideas."

"Yes, it turns out that I brought all this upon myself. Hahaha, cough cough." A large amount of blood suddenly gushed out of Musashi's mouth.

Lu Chen looked at Musashi who was laughing wildly and said, "If you are willing to learn, it is possible to integrate into modern society."

"But that wouldn't be Miyamoto Musashi. I, Miyamoto Musashi, am not someone who would hide my identity. I can die, but I cannot abandon the name of a samurai."

"Then you have at least lived up to your own principles and challenged your future opponents. Should that satisfy you?"

"At least I still have my sword to keep me company. You're a perfect opponent. You're also an outcast. You and I don't belong here after all. I can see the murderous intent in your eyes."

"I also fought with all my might before. Just like you in that era, I could be killed if I wasn't careful."

"It's nice to lose to an opponent like you. Will you go see warriors from other worlds for me?"

"Of course. I will continue to see different scenery."

Musashi's hand, which was holding the sword high, suddenly dropped.

Unrivaled in the World - Miyamoto Musashi dies.

Lu Chen's fingers suddenly trembled slightly, but Lu Chen reached out and touched it, not knowing what had happened. There was the remains of the saint in this location.

Musashi is a criminal who fled into the mountains, so no one will come here to look for him for a while, and therefore no one will bother Lu Chen because of this matter in the future.

And this time is enough for Lu Chen to finish the rest of the things.

Pique, who was in the sewer nearby, also came out at this time. After seeing Musashi being killed, he came over to take a look.

Lu Chen waved at Pico and said, "Help me take Musashi to the sewer and hide him. Someone will come looking for him later. Don't eat him."

Although Lu Chen thought that Musashi would not care about this.

“I don’t want to eat…”

"Well, thank you. Goodbye then."

Pieck grabbed Musashi's body and weapons and ran into the sewers.

Lu Chen watched as Pieck disappeared into the sewer.

The next step is to challenge Yujiro.

All grudges should be written off.
