Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

He only saw two savages swinging their knives at the old man, then the old man deflected the attack and killed the savages.

After reading it, Lu Ye immediately understood the old man's approach.

Because the knife was broken, the old man was at a disadvantage in terms of attack range.

He moved to the left not to avoid an impending attack, but to make up for his disadvantage.

Taking that step to the left placed the old man between the two savages, meaning the two savages would be closer together.

This way, the disadvantage of a broken sword can be compensated for. As long as the opportunity is seized, one can simultaneously withstand the attacks of two people.

Moreover, Lu Ye observed a small detail.

In fact, the old man used the wider back of the blade for his first strike, because this would prevent the broken knife from breaking under stress. When he returned, he held the knife with his hand reversed, back of his hand facing up. The back of the blade, which was originally facing the savages, became the sharp blade, thus killing them.

Lu Ye suddenly understood.

He opened the panel and saw that his basic swordsmanship had leveled up to LV2, but this level was not considered high.

The earlier levels are all easy to level up.

He wouldn't be considered a beginner until he reached at least the advanced level of swordsmanship.

Everyone present seemed to realize that this old man was not someone to be trifled with.

Although it is true that one can kill someone by finding a flaw, who can catch a trace of a sword flying at high speed?

Or they have exceptional dynamic vision.

Or perhaps it's through countless life-or-death battles that the body has firmly memorized that feeling.

He hones his swordsmanship with his own body and fights for survival with his own intuition.

Human life is both strong and fragile; life and death can be separated by a mere instant.

This is the allure of close combat: pure blood and violence.

"Make way, let me do it."

A savage with his hair in a topknot and wearing a half-mask slowly drew his sword; he was larger than the other savages.

It was a nodachi, about six feet long.

He stepped forward slowly, raised his katana above his head with both hands, and his narrow eyes were filled with a fierce look.

The old man stared at the other person and pulled the hilt of the broken sword back a little.

At a distance of about five steps, the two moved at the same time, and the savage swung his katana down with domineering force.

But to everyone's surprise, the old man lunged at him head-on.

How can a broken sword possibly contend with a wild dachi? Lu Ye frowned.

Even Violet couldn't help but slightly widen her eyes, which were hidden under her straw hat.

If she had simply dodged or parried normally, given her speed, she might have been able to rescue her in time.

But she couldn't catch up with the old man's sudden act of suicide.

Lu Ye understood this very well and had experienced it firsthand.

Sometimes, just a split-second difference can make all the difference.

Just like in the Great Hall of Leiden, when he was about to be cut in half by Osinlid, he used his special ability to buy himself a second of opportunity, and it was this opportunity that allowed him to turn the tide in the subsequent battle.

The old man's body was cruelly split open, from his shoulder all the way to his chest; the wound was horrific.

However, in contrast, the savage wielding the nodachi also had a broken blade attached to his abdomen.

The blade had completely disappeared into the body, leaving only the hilt sticking out.

Neither of them fell; they each relied on the blades inside the other's body for support.

"Why...why..." the savage asked haltingly.

"Great Upper Class... You must be very confident, right? At this distance, coupled with the nodachi... it's impossible to parry, and there's nowhere to dodge. Therefore... there's only one strike, and that is to aim for the abdomen." The old man actually still had the strength to speak.

But that's not what the savage asked.

Generally speaking, the act of knife fighting exists in order to injure the opponent while ensuring one's own safety.

This old man... seemed to have come with the determination to die together with others, and he actually did it.

But the savage could no longer speak, because the old man pulled out the broken blade, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Zhengji was still in shock.

But the remaining savages had already charged towards them.

The old man was already severely injured and had no power to resist. Once they regained their senses, the first thing they wanted to do was kill everyone.

Lu Ye sighed inwardly and took out his revolver.

He originally only wanted to observe the duels between samurai to improve his swordsmanship, but in the emergency, Violet came to his rescue.

But the old man seemed not to give him a chance, exchanging the savage's life for a suicidal attack.

“Violet, let’s go,” Lu Ye said.

Although the old man's life could not be saved, Zhengji's life could be saved.

Lu Ye attributed this incident to his own immaturity.

But just as Violet was about to make her move, the old man's body suddenly moved again!

How is that possible...?!

The eerie sight forced the savages to abruptly stop in their tracks.

Because they saw it clearly...

The old man's shocking fracture was slowly healing, and the wriggling of some kind of long-legged worm could be vaguely seen inside his body.

“How could this be… He was indeed… cut down…” Zhengji was speechless.

Lu Ye wasn't as surprised as Zheng Ji; he just instinctively felt something was off.

"Who are you?!" The savages panicked.

"I... am a person from the other side, without a name," the old man slowly rose, gripping his knife. "I don't know when I was first addressed as such..."

"Immortal... Hanbei!"

(PS: In ancient times, people who lived to be over sixty were considered old. Judging from his appearance, Hanbei was only around forty or fifty years old.)

Chapter 107 The Erosion of Parallel Worlds

Due to the limitations of lifespan, and the suffering caused by illness.

Therefore, many legends of immortality circulate in this world.

Ashina, on the other hand, is a land where the legend of immortality prevails.

"The old man...was indeed killed!"

Zhengji was dumbfounded.

How could a murdered person be brought back to life?!

This was something he never even dared to dream of!

"Is there anyone... capable of killing me?"

Hanbei said those words again in a hoarse voice.

Even though blood was flowing freely from his chest and abdomen, an unknown and powerful regenerative force "pieced" him back together.

Who are you?

Among the savages, a seemingly composed man stepped forward, his face also covered with a half-mask.

Judging from appearances, this person is their leader.

In fact, Lu Ye had noticed him a long time ago. Just now, when everyone else wanted to kill Hanbei, only he didn't move.

He was very cautious and would not personally intervene until he was certain that Hanbei was completely dead.

"'The Undying,' some call us 'Insect-Binders'...but that doesn't matter."

Hanbei, holding the broken sword, stood up again.

Let's... continue!

“Violet, go help him, but make sure your own safety is your top priority,” Lu Ye said.

The girl nodded, drew her sword, and charged out.

Zhengji cheered himself up: "I'll go too..."

"Are you going to your death?" Lu Ye grabbed him. "Stay with me, I'll protect you!"

"You?" Zhengji stared at Lu Ye suspiciously.

Lu Ye didn't speak, gripping the revolver tightly in his hand.

He was very clear about one thing.

If he didn't have his revolver or Violet, he would have no choice but to run away in this situation.

Watching Hanbei fight Violet, his desire to become stronger grew even stronger.

After a brief exchange, three more savages died.

Violet emerged unscathed thanks to her exceptional agility and innate combat instincts.

Although Hanbei was once stabbed, his powerful immortality allowed him to continue killing enemies.

Finally, the savage leader made a judgment: "There's no point in staying here any longer. Let's go and retreat quickly before we alert that thing!"

The plan to raid the village failed, and the savages retreated along the river.

—It seems that the savages won't dare to invade the village anytime soon.

Just as Masayoshi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to thank Lu Ye and the others, Hanbei, who called himself "the Insect-Binder," collapsed without warning.
