The twisted bullet, mixed with blood, flew out from the other end of the owl's head, taking its life.
As the Lord died, the flames on Lu Ye's body slowly disappeared.
The burned parts were continuously repaired, eventually restoring their original shape.
"Not...dead?" the girl asked in a small, cute voice.
Lu Ye turned around, looked at the girl's face, which resembled a kitten's, and smiled gently.
"Yes, I'm back."
"Is this the power of the Dragon's Blood..." Xiao's voice became much heavier. "It is indeed something that Dao Xuan's 'Transformation Essence' cannot compare to. It has absolutely no side effects."
"So, ninjas from the countryside shouldn't even think about becoming famous."
After settling Violet in a safe place, Lu Ye picked up the nodachi from the ground.
"Because you will be killed here by me as an unknown nobody."
"A stranger who only knows a few rubbish sword techniques dares to spout such nonsense?!"
Xiao could no longer contain himself and charged forward.
So what if you're immortal?
How will you make up for the gap in strength? I'll kill you a few times as many times as I live, and finally embed you into the Buddha statue here!
Inside the ancestral hall, swords clashed and spears flashed; it was a deadly battle.
Xiao kept stabbing Lu Ye's body with his sword, splashing out large amounts of blood.
However, Lu Ye also caused him considerable damage, with Xiao's ribs and right hand bones suffering significant injuries.
Xiao knew that if the fight continued, even if he wasn't killed by the returning Hirata samurai, he would surely be worn down to death by this kid with immortal power!
We must finish this quickly!
But suddenly, Xiao found himself unable to extricate himself!
Whenever he tried to leave, the nodachi would follow him like a shadow, as annoying as chewing gum stuck to his feet.
What surprised him even more was that Lu Ye's attack methods had become remarkably similar to his own at some point!
"Although it's the swordsmanship of a country samurai, it's still barely usable!"
Lu Ye suddenly pulled the blade out of his chest. Although it hurt a lot, he wouldn't die.
“You…!” Xiao was shocked again.
"That's right, I just realized it. During our sparring session, I've already learned your swordsmanship."
Hanbei once said that real combat is the best teacher.
Thanks to the [Swordsmanship Manual], Lu Ye learned Xiao's swordsmanship in several battles, at the cost of being pierced by the blade.
Having understood its offensive tactics and strengths, we can naturally also understand its weaknesses.
Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.
It seems the plan has failed.
If this fighting continues, it will inevitably drag on until the Hirata clan's samurai arrive.
Never mind... running away is the best policy. We can take revenge later!
But Lu Ye saw through Xiao's thoughts, adjusted his body, and completely blocked the path from the ancestral hall to the surface.
Releasing a tiger back into the mountains—this is a grave taboo.
This treacherous old ninja must die here today!
Lu Ye slightly bent his body, held the nodachi against the inside of his right arm, and then charged forward.
—This is precisely Owl's signature move, the Giant Ninja Thrust.
Chapter 128 Martial Arts Acquired at the Cost of Death
But during the charge, Lu Ye threw a short blade.
"Drink it all!!"
The owl roared and slashed down, but the flying short blade prevented him from using "Insight".
The short blade was deflected, and Xiao immediately followed up with a horizontal slash at Lu Ye, who was rushing towards him.
But Lu Ye suddenly changed his stance, leaping into the air during his sprint.
He thrust his nodachi at the top of Owl's head, and although the attack was blocked, he used it as a fulcrum to circle around behind Owl!
That was his real purpose.
As the originator of the giant ninja thrust, Owl was certainly aware of its strengths and weaknesses.
So Lu Ye never intended to kill him with this move, but rather to use it to close the distance and get behind him.
The thrown dagger created an opportunity for him.
Although it cannot inflict fatal wounds on characters of E rank or higher, its high accuracy forced Xiao to draw his sword to parry.
Lu Ye landed steadily behind Xiao, his six-foot-long nodachi gleaming with a chilling light.
"puff!!"
The owl's heart was pierced.
"Ughhhh..." Xiao uttered a hoarse sound, "How...could this be?"
Physical strength is rapidly depleted along with blood loss, and life is slowly coming to an end.
But he didn't give up. He slowly reached his right hand towards his waist, without letting Lu Ye notice.
There is a secret medicine prepared by the physician Daoxuan. As long as it is sprinkled on the wound or taken orally, one can regain the power to fight again.
But the medicine bottle suddenly slipped from Xiao's hand, fell to the ground, and shattered.
That's a butterfly.
At the crucial moment, she manipulated transparent threads from a distance to steal the owl's medicine bottle.
Lu Ye suddenly pulled out his knife, and blood splattered everywhere.
As Xiao's body spun around due to inertia, all Lu Ye saw in his eyes at that moment was malice.
A large katana slashed through the air, emitting a mournful cry.
Even if it meant death, he would try to cut off Lu Ye's head.
Lu Ye held his sword horizontally in front of him and raised his revolver.
There was still one bullet in the chamber; I had loaded it earlier under the Buddha statue when I had some free time.
He then pulled the trigger, and the bullet pierced Owl's kidney.
At this moment, Lu Ye's ability was activated.
The 50% critical strike chance and critical strike damage bonus to the kidneys trigger simultaneously, instantly killing Owl.
But Lu Ye still didn't let his guard down.
He swung his sword, and then slashed down...
The owl's head rolled several meters on the ground before finally hitting the feet of the Buddha statue and coming to a stop.
Looking at the ninja's gruesome death, young Kuro's face showed no fear, but rather some pity.
"So you're really that eager to achieve immortality, owl... I'll miss the days when I sat on your shoulder watching the sunset over Hirata."
After the tension subsided... my muscles cramped, my bones creaked, and my whole body seemed to want to give up.
How many times did he just die? Even Lu Ye himself couldn't count.
He learned the swordsmanship that Xiao had honed over decades at the cost of physical "disability"...
This was the decisive factor that enabled Lu Ye to defeat him.
The greatsword used by the owl on the ground was covered in blood, all of it Lu Ye's.
Neck, waist, abdomen, chest, arms, limbs... almost every part of his body was injured.
But thanks to the power of the Dragon's Blood, Lu Ye survived no matter how many times he was killed.
Staring at the girl's beautiful yet somewhat dirty face, Lu Ye desperately held back her tears.
There's no other reason.
Although they won't die, it doesn't mean they won't feel pain.
He would cry simply because it hurt too much; after the adrenaline subsided, an excruciating pain would spread throughout his body.
But he held back his tears so that the girl wouldn't see him in a vulnerable state.
This is a man's last act of defiance.
……
three days later.
The morning air by the roadside was slightly chilly.
Seemingly sensing the pressure on his face, Lu Ye slowly opened his eyes, only to see the girl's worried expression.
"Hey, this is the third day already."
The accent he spoke was a bit strange, and Lu Ye felt somewhat helpless.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
At this moment, Violet was squeezing his cheeks with her palms, and his mouth was puffed up like a goldfish.
"Still alive." The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
Not far away, Jiulang was eating compressed biscuits in a sullen mood.
Madame Butterfly had vanished, while the wolf stood guard in the tree.
Three days have passed since the killing of the owl.
