Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

It wasn't about pursuing the ultimate in any particular sword technique, but rather about using every possible move to achieve victory. All of this unintentionally led to Lu Ye's Wuxinliu style.

The art of encompassing the world is the Ashina Mushin-ryu school.

Under the fierce blade's attack, she could no longer hold on, so she chose to settle the matter in one move.

This wasn't due to any competitive spirit. She simply wanted to use all her skills to further improve Lu Ye's swordsmanship.

—To fulfill the other person's wishes by doing one's own.

Lu Ye nodded and sheathed his sword as well.

Ashina Cross Slash.

The high-speed Iai Slash, with its explosive power, is an Ashina-style technique that takes rapid and powerful slashes to the extreme.

Because it is impossible to judge when the opponent will strike, it is difficult to block.

Since Yongzhen intends to use this move to decide the outcome, he should surpass it.

Snowflakes began to fall, and both sides attacked simultaneously.

The blade whistled through the air, reflecting a chilling, desolate light.

However, Lu Ye was faster.

The first strike was a horizontal slash, the explosive force of which instantly halted Emma's blade, creating a fierce spark. The second strike was a vertical slash, the sharp blade severing the side of the naginata.

[Acquired: Memories of the battle with Emma]

The woman's sword was gentle yet extremely lethal; being able to defeat her proves that one's swordsmanship has reached a superior level.

A slight tingling sensation came from my arm.

Yongzhen stared at the broken sword on the ground, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"You are truly remarkable."

"fine……"

Lu Ye looked at the wedge-shaped ball in his hand.

During this period, he did indeed feel his own improvement.

From Hanbei's ordinary slashing techniques at the beginning, to Owl's swordsmanship, and then to Ashina style... Although he quickly learned Tomoe style later using the Sculptor's Idol obtained from the shop, it was still due to Lu Ye's own good basic skills.

But Yongzhen is different.

She learned swordsmanship for the sake of a gorilla.

The image of the gorilla almost transforming into a demon left a deep impression on her, and since then she has been learning swordsmanship from Isshin.

She learned swordsmanship not to kill, but to slay demons. If one day the gorilla truly couldn't suppress her resentment, it would be too pitiful for her to die at the hands of a stranger.

However, it seems unnecessary now.

Without war, and given several more years, the gorillas will surely be able to rid themselves of their resentment and avoid turning into vengeful ghosts.

At that moment, Lu Ye heard the heavy clatter of armor.

“You’re here…” Yongzhen said.

Under the moonlight, two figures slowly walked over.

And then there's Robert's father and... Genichiro.

……

"I've already heard the details from Yongzhen."

"Inside the bamboo forest," Genichiro said.

"Right now, the only thing I can do is get this girl from Ashina Castle away. But... I have an obligation to repay you. My teacher is a woman named Tomoe, who came down from the land of immortals."

"You don't mean you want to practice with me to deal with the enemies in the Immortal Realm, do you?" Lu Ye said.

"I can't beat you." Genichiro readily admitted this. "But there is one move you must master, otherwise no matter how strong your swordsmanship is, you will only end up in utter ruin."

Lu Ye was taken aback, then suddenly remembered.

The Okami clan is skilled at controlling lightning.

Long ago, an ancient war broke out in Ashina. The beautiful female samurai Okami stormed into Ashina with her superb swordsmanship and lightning. However, the Ashina people not only discovered Okami's weakness, but also found a way to deal with lightning.

“I rushed here overnight to teach you how to deal with lightning,” Genichiro said.

"I can't ask for it."

Lu Ye gripped the knife tighter again.

In fact, Lu Ye, who had completed the game, certainly knew how to deal with lightning.

But games are not the same as reality.

Having an opportunity to rehearse in advance is certainly the best thing that could happen.

Chapter 149 The Return of Lightning and the Mizubu Village

A moment later, the two, having prepared, began their training in the bamboo forest.

"Remember the key points I told you before. This is heretical art, so don't be careless." Genichiro said, slowly exhaling a breath of stale air.

Dark clouds obscured the moonlight, making the darkness even more intense.

Genichiro's hand slowly traced the blade, yellow lightning flashing across it.

"Look closely, this is Ba Zhi Lei!"

He leaped up, the blade slashing through the air in a huge arc.

Using Genichiro's blade, Tomoe Rai was unleashed, a massive arc of golden lightning that swept away everything in its path.

The electric light covered most of the bamboo forest, blocking all of Lu Ye's escape routes.

There is only one way to deal with Ba Zhi Lei.

That is—returning the favor with lightning.

A secret technique that involves using the blade to withstand a lightning strike and return it to the user during the moment of takeoff.

In ancient times, Ashina warriors used this move to defeat the lightning techniques of the beautiful female warrior Oga.

Leap up, seize the opportunity, catch the lightning, and then bounce back.

It sounds very simple, but the difficulty involved is not small at all.

The slightest carelessness will lead to death.

Even if they weren't killed by lightning, the paralysis effect they received was enough to decide the outcome of the battle.

If he were to become paralyzed, Lu Ye would either have his heart pierced by a blade or his entire head severed in the next few seconds.

Lu Ye propelled himself up with his knees, leaping into the air and blocking the lightning with his sword just as it reached him. The lightning instantly adhered to Lu Ye's blade.

He heard a crackling sound of electricity in his ears, and he waved his hand towards the sky, deflecting the lightning force back.

[Learned: Returning Lightning]

[Description: Can deflect all lightning attacks]

Lightning swept everything away, and the bamboo tips high up were all charred black.

Genichiro's heart skipped a beat.

I actually learned it in just one try...

Ah, it seems Grandfather was right, he truly is a genius at swordsmanship.

Why are there such great differences between people?

Genichiro felt this way.

“I still have energy left, let’s do it a few more times,” Genichiro said.

Lu Ye adjusted the blade.

Hearing the continuous thunder and lightning outside, the girl on the straw mat slowly opened her eyes.

"Are you awake?" Zhi Xing came to her side with a wooden bowl. "Drink more hot water."

Violet didn't speak, she just silently looked outside.

"That kid doesn't have time to deal with you right now."

Zhi Xing sat back down and continued to silently carve the Buddha image with one hand.

"Is Violet going to die?" the girl seemed to be talking to herself.

"More or less," said Zhixing. "Yongzhen said you have at most two days left to live."

"I see..." The girl fell silent and continued looking outside.

"Hey, aren't you scared?"

The gorilla found the girl's reaction amusing; such a young child, knowing her death was imminent, didn't cry or make a fuss.

“I’m just unhappy,” Violet said. “I’ve killed people, and I know that once a person dies, they stop moving, they can’t see or hear anything anymore. If I die, I’ll never see him again…”

"Then why don't you go find him?" Zhi Xing asked curiously. "Isn't it important to you to be able to depend on someone important before you die? If he doesn't succeed, you'll just have to die under this old man's nose for the last two days of your life."

“Violet won’t look for him.” The girl stared at the figure that kept leaping up, using lightning to propel himself. “Although it’s nice to stick to him now and get his head patted, he might regret it later and be sad.”

"regret?"

"Yes, you can't undo what you've already done."

After thinking for a while, Zhi Xing understood what the girl meant.

She wasn't trying to seize the opportunity to survive, but rather placing all her hopes on Lu Ye and firmly believing that he could succeed.

She only knew that the person was working hard for her.

So she wanted Lu Ye to try his best so that he wouldn't have any regrets. That way, even if he didn't survive, at least he would have tried his best and wouldn't have any regrets.

"Considering the other person's feelings more than your own... Hmph, how foolish."

After saying this as if he were throwing a tantrum, the gorilla fell silent.
