Chapter 465: Opponents Decided by Each
Musashi has also said before that when she traveled through the world half a year ago, she had met Yagyu Tajima Mori Muneki in that world. Because she noticed that the opponent was very strong in swordsmanship, she was delighted to see him and took the initiative to go up to him. Provocation, but the opponent's strength was far superior to hers. She almost died under the knife because she passively shuttled back and forth at the critical moment and escaped with her life.
Her shuttle itself is unreasonable. She can only shuttle in parallel worlds within the Xingyue world, and it is not under her control. It is even impossible to go back to the worlds she has visited before.
That's right, the worlds she had traveled through before seemed to have classified her as a black sheep. After kicking her out, she would never be allowed to come back.
Therefore, after so many years, Musashi has just been on an endless journey. Her past is really just the past, and there is no possibility of reuniting with the characters in the past.
She is always forced to move forward and cannot look back on the past. The people and things she encountered in the past can only be engraved in her memory.
So when she reunited with Liu Xia in this world, it was almost a miracle in her opinion. Although she didn't say it, she actually cherished this reunion in her heart.
"It's actually the old man himself——"
All the inconspicuous expressions on Musashi's face disappeared at this moment, and he looked fixedly at the old man opposite, with countless emotions surging in his heart.
"So, I have returned to the world I traveled to before? This world is actually the world I came to in the past?" Countless doubts emerged in her heart.
"The battle with you ruthlessly peeled off the skin of this person named Yagyu Munenomi. It seems that all the Zen practice in the past decades has failed. Since then, my heart has been surging like Like evil spirits, they are prone to murderous and war-hungry thoughts..."
Yagyu Muneki looked directly at Musashi with his sword-like eyes, his eyes gradually changing from cold to hot, "It's funny like fate, right? So later that guy at Caster told me that you will return to this world sooner or later. At that time, without any hesitation, I agreed to his request to bury the murderous karma into my body."
"Because I have been looking forward to this moment when I can fight you again!" the silver-haired old man shouted.
Yagyu Munenuki and Miyamoto Musashi were both masters of swordsmanship in the Edo period. They were actually swordsmen of the same era.
Because Miyamoto Musashi founded the Niten First Class, his name has been passed down louder than any swordsman or sword master in later generations, and he is known as the most powerful swordsman. However, in this era, Yagyu Munenomi actually looked down upon him. Miyamoto Musashi.
No, it was not that he looked down upon him, but that he was hostile to Miyamoto Musashi and believed that he was a member of the Western Army and an enemy of Tokugawa.
And these two people, just like what the old man said before, have not actually fought against each other.
But in the singularity of this subspecies that is close to chopping things up, Yagyu Munenomi fought against Miyamoto Musashi for the first time, and then the calm and rational appearance he had gained through decades of Zen practice was completely destroyed by that battle. He was stripped clean, revealing his warlike and murderous nature beneath the surface.
It was the battle with Miyamoto Musashi that made him realize his true self, which also led to his extremely strong obsession with Musashi.
The reason why Yagyu Munenomi's heart beat rapidly when he saw Musashi before was because he had long been waiting for Musashi's arrival in this world, waiting for the battle with her to decide the outcome with a sword. .
This really seems to be fate. The two people had a hostile relationship in history, but here they have become a relationship of fighting each other.
"But no matter how stubborn you are, you will never have that chance."
Just when the atmosphere between the two gradually became tense,
However, Liu Xia unceremoniously intervened between the two of them, "I'm sorry, I don't have the samurai spirit to let you fulfill your wish, and you don't have the right to choose your opponent."
He walked between the two of them, blocking Yagyu Munenomi's view of Musashi, "You can understand it this way - if you don't defeat me, don't even think about fighting her."
"What an incomprehensible brat."
Yagyu Munenomi closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, his eyes that looked directly at Liu Xia had returned to the coldness they had at the beginning, "Okay, then let me take revenge for having my arm cut off before. alright."
"Hey... Ruka-chan took my opponent away."
Musashi felt a little embarrassed behind Liu Xia, with a helpless but gentle smile on his face, and let him have his way, "Forget it, with my current state, it is impossible to win against Mr. Yagyu."
"The one who cut off his arm...could it be that it was not the heroic swordsman but Ruka who sneaked into the castle tower to fight Yagyu Tajimamomo and cut off one of his hands?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at Lucia strangely and couldn't help guessing.
If you think about it carefully, that seems to be the night when Yagyu Tajima Mori first came to the rustic city, right? Liu Xia immediately ran over and attacked them?
He seemed to have exposed Yagyu Tajima Mamoru's true identity as soon as they met. Was it because he had long sensed that something was wrong with him, so he went over to attack him in the middle of the night?
Obviously no one among them noticed Yagyu Taimamomo's weirdness, but Liusha keenly noticed something was wrong as soon as they met. Although this boy is not old, he is not only extremely strong, but also has the same observation and action abilities. Unmatched.
"However, there is another opponent here..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head, putting the matter of Yagyu Tajima Mamoru behind, and looked at the female ninja who had been watching silently on the other side.
"Lord, please leave her to me to deal with."
Before they could reach the conclusion of their discussion, Fuma Kotaro came to Fujimaru Ritsuka with a complicated look on his face and requested: "I want to decide the outcome with her one-on-one. My lord, please ask Musashi-dono and Muramasa." Your Excellency, go to the top floor and save Miss Qingji."
"Is it okay? Kotaro?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kotaro intently.
"Yes, in order to live up to my master, I will definitely win." Kotaro nodded firmly.
"I understand, Mr. Musashi, Mr. Muramasa, let's go to the top floor."
Faced with Kotaro's request, Fujimaru Ritsuka just pondered for a while, then readily agreed, then greeted the two people beside him and headed towards the top floor.
On this floor, only Ruka and Yagyu Munenomi were left, while Kotaro and the female ninja faced each other face to face.
"That guy can use the inherent barrier, so don't be careless."
Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others were about to step onto the stairs to the top floor, Ruka suddenly spoke up and reminded them.
"Huh? Inherent barrier? Is that the opponent's trump card?"
After hearing his reminder, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Musashi didn't react at all. Chiko Muramasa suddenly realized it first, and then laughed sarcastically.
"I see... Then leave it to me. Just let me chop the inherent barrier into pieces with one strike!"
