Chapter 567 Ninja, Sword Master
As the king of ninjas, Kotaro Fuma is already fast enough. No one in the younger generation of the Jakaki Hachi family can match him. Even the young boy Nagamoto is slightly slower than Kotaro Fuma in terms of speed and reflexes. .
However, the mysterious swordsman who suddenly jumped out from behind Lu Mingfei was as fast as Fuma Kotaro. Fuma Kotaro subconsciously made a preliminary judgment on the ability of this mysterious swordsman. This was due to the powerful force. With such directness, the speed of this mysterious swordsman is even higher than his own!
However, what surprised Fuma Kotaro even more was that the opponent's strength lay not only in speed, but also in his judgment of timing.
The opponent's control of timing is so precise that it is quite terrifying. While ninjas train speed, agility and reaction, the control of timing is also one of the compulsory subjects for becoming a qualified ninja. The more experienced the ninja is, the more experienced he is. The more senior ninjas can judge in a shorter time when to attack the enemy, when to dodge, when to defend, and when to evacuate...
As the king of ninjas, Fuma Kotaro is undoubtedly a master who has studied this way extremely deeply, but in Fuma Kotaro's eyes, the mysterious swordsman who suddenly appeared at this moment is also terrifyingly accurate in his judgment of timing... If he had taken action a moment earlier, he would have had the opportunity to change his moves. If he had taken action a moment later, Ju Yimonji Zong's blade would have cut open Lu Mingfei's chest.
But the opponent was able to hit Fuma Kotaro's Iaichi slash at the last moment, and stopped Fuma Kotaro's blade with ghostly speed... He had definitely reached the level of family leader. This person must be someone The hidden sword master!
After a while, the clear sound of swords clashing reverberated through the entire spring flower room, and the sound was as harsh as the buzzing of a swarm of bees.
"Master Fuma, what happened!" Nanami Sakurai hadn't realized what was happening at the other end of the long table. "Did someone else suddenly appear? Is it an enemy?"
The room was too dark. Apart from the sound of blades clashing, Sakurai Nanami could only follow her subconscious intuition to judge that Fuma Kotaro's offensive was stopped by someone, while Lu Mingfei sitting at the other end didn't seem to make any move... ...Then besides the three negotiators, there is a fourth person in this room. He blocked Fuma Kotaro's attack on Lu Mingfei. From this, we can judge that this person should be the enemy!
Sakurai Nanami was about to take out the pistol from Kimono's arms, but Fuma Kotaro's next voice interrupted her action.
"Master Feng Mo, don't act for now!" Feng Mo Kotaro said sternly, "This man is very strong and extremely fast. He is not a guy who is afraid of gunfire. Your bullets will not pose a threat to him!"
"Then I can at least act as a deterrent to Lu Mingfei!" Sakurai Nanami quickly loaded the pistol, "It's too much for the Feng Mo family master to deal with two people at the same time!"
"No, Lu Mingfei's condition is not right." Fuma Kotaro reminded Nanami Sakurai, "Don't shoot at Lu Mingfei. I don't know why he looks quite weak now...your bullet will kill him!"
Hearing Fuma Kotaro's words, Sakurai Nanami was stunned instinctively, and for a moment she didn't know whether to raise the loaded pistol.
Just when Sakurai Nanami was stunned for a moment, the second confrontation had already begun.
Fuma Kotaro's wrist suddenly exerted force, and a force of skill was used on Kikuichi Monji Norimune's sword. The mysterious swordsman stood between Fuma Kotaro and Lu Mingfei, blocking Fuma Kotaro from attacking Lu Mingfei. The blade was washed away by this force. Shake open.
Fuma Kotaro quickly took a step to his side. His original posture of holding Kikuichimonji norimune with both hands changed to holding the sword with one hand. His other hand quickly flipped in the air, and the shuriken quietly moved like magic. Appeared between the old man's slender fingers.
Fuma Kotaro shook his wrist and twisted his fingertips quickly. The old man used a technique like flying leaves and picking flowers. In less than half a second, several shurikens were struck from Fuma Kotaro's fingertips at strange angles. Laser pops up.
Fuma Kotaro's fingertips are all hard cocoons. How many years of continuous practice day and night will it take to become a ninja king famous in the world of killers?
The sound of the shuriken cutting the air is sharp and harsh, just like the stinging poisonous bees being released from the cage by the beekeeper, and what is even more mind-numbing is the reason why these shuriken shots make such weird sounds. , because their trajectory in the air is not a straight line at a uniform speed, nor an arc... but a very strange curve, and even each shuriken shot has a different speed, and some are even faster and slower!
What kind of superb technique is this? What kind of weird trick is this? The speed of the shuriken suddenly became extremely fast, and the enemy was unable to judge its impact point, direction, and trajectory, so there was no way to set up defenses or avoid it.
The moment he threw these shurikens, Fuma Kotaro also raised his sword and slashed at the figure that suddenly appeared. His speed was extremely fast, and the standing slash was actually from the bottom up. Rather than saying that, this was Traditional swordsmanship is more like a ninja's magical skills.
This is an almost unsolvable killing move. If the opponent's sword blocks Fuma Kotaro's blade, then several shurikens will hit the enemy. And if the opponent is tired of dealing with the shurikens, then Fuma Kotaro's fatal slash will be instantaneous. Split his body in two... Fuma Kotaro created a difficult choice situation for the enemy. At this moment, the dark shadow protecting Lu Mingfei seemed to be walking on the tip of a knife, with a mountain of swords in front of him and a beast behind him, making him in a dilemma.
But the next moment, before Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami could react, red sword light slashed out horizontally and vertically, densely spreading in all directions of the black shadow amid the electric light and flint.
Tangzhu, cassock chop, reverse cassock chop, left cross cut, right cross cut, upper left cut, upper right cut, headwind, thrust... all nine cutting methods in Japanese swordsmanship were used, in less than half a second. time.
Fuma Kotaro was right. Being able to perform basic sword skills so beautifully and fiercely, this mysterious swordsman must be a powerful sword master... However, what is shocking is not only the superb sword skills of this man. , it’s more about his actions.
The mysterious swordsman's movements were so fast that Fuma Kotaro could only see the opponent's sword, and the man's whole body was filled with the light of the sword. There were at least a dozen slashes. These dozen slashes The attacks look like they are all coming out at the same time.
Fuma Kotaro's movements are already fast enough, and the movement of the sword is as unpredictable as a ghost, but compared with Fuma Kotaro, he is more like a shadowless ghost... His speed even surpasses the king of the ninja family!
The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword swung away all the shurikens in an instant, so fast that even the sound of collision was not heard. However, the threat of the shurikens was removed, and Fuma Kotaro's sword was not retracted. Ichimonji no Sect's blade came as promised, approaching the mysterious swordsman's neck.
At the last moment, Fuma Kotaro's speed suddenly accelerated again. The old man actually broke through his own limit at the critical moment, and his speed burst out again.
Although this is not an Iai slash in the traditional sense, the speed of this sword is indeed comparable to Iai's limit!
This was an attack from the king of ninja that went beyond the limit. The blade was just a hair away from the opponent's throat. Even if he spent the entire mixed race world, he could not find a few people who could escape from this near-death situation, even if they were carrying the blood of the emperor. Yuan Zhisheng was definitely not immune to serious injuries in this situation.
However, the mysterious swordsman's next move was completely beyond Fuma Kotaro's expectations.
The seventh level moment...one hundred and twenty-eight times the speed of the attack!
If Fuma Kotaro's one-line slash can be completed within 0.01 seconds, but 0.01 seconds is slowed down 128 times to 1.28 seconds... For a swordsman with superb swordsmanship, more than one second It was enough for him to do a lot of things.
Visual inspection! Breathe! Cut off the carp's mouth! Pay it forward! Cut it off! Blood vibration! Take the knife!
Iai's beheading! The strict law of Iai's beheading! The real Iai experience!
The light of the sword seemed to appear out of thin air in the blink of an eye. The arc drawn by the blade was as beautiful as a girl's eye pattern. The blade of the long sword was bent due to the high speed approaching the extreme. Fuma Kotaro's slash that exceeded the limit was eclipsed by this sword. .
In an instant, the effect of the sonic boom swept through the entire spring flower room, and the roar stung people's eardrums. The lingering sound of the previous blade cleansing the shuriken was covered up, and the frequency of the air vibration exceeded the speed of sound.
The extremely fast blade struck hard at Kikuichi Monmonori Mune's sword. The action force and the reaction force collided with each other. Fuma Kotaro and the mysterious swordsman each took a step back, and their jaws were so painful that they were shocked. Blood slowly left from the crack in the palm.
"Speed-cutting? Iai's ultimate intention?" Fuma Kotaro looked at the figure not far away and said in a surprised tone, "Is your word spirit 'setsuna'?"
"Fuuma-kun, what's going on now?" Nanami Sakurai endured the tinnitus caused by the sonic boom and asked loudly in the direction of Fuuma Kotaro, "Are you injured? Who is the other party? How is Lu Mingfei?"
Fuma Kotaro did not answer Sakurai Nanami's question. He just stared at the figure in the dark, his eyes full of surprise, horror and disbelief.
"Inuyama...kun?" Fuma Kotaro asked tentatively, "Are you the head of the Inuyama family?"
"Lord Feng Mo." An old and familiar voice sounded, "We haven't competed for many years. I didn't expect Feng Mo's swordsmanship to have improved to such an extent."
"It's actually Inuyama-kun!" Fuma Kotaro gasped.
Although Fuma Kotaro has already guessed the identity of the other party in his heart, because he has such fast speed, such superb swordsmanship, and possesses the "Word Spirit Setsuna", he can also use Iai's ultimate intention. In all of Japan, except for Inuyama He Du couldn't find the second person.
In fact, Fuma Kotaro should have discovered it a long time ago, because Fuma Kotaro caught a glimpse of the opponent's old palm, combined with the posture of holding the sword and the sword stand during hostility, it is very likely that the opponent is Inuyama Ga, and the sword's light is red. Isn't that Inuyamaga's Demon Blade and Onimaru Kunitsuna's sword... But Fuma Kotaro has been subconsciously denying this possibility in his heart.
Because at the moment the negotiation broke down, Lu Mingfei was automatically classified as the enemy by Fuma Kotaro, and anyone who was willing to protect Lu Mingfei at this moment was naturally regarded as an enemy by Fuma Kotaro... someone who was an enemy of the family. How could a person be from the Sheqiba family? Or a certain head of the Sheqiba family?
Moreover, today is clearly the day for negotiations between the Snake Qihachi family and representatives of Kassel Academy. Why did Inuyama Ga appear in Takamagahara?
Lu Mingfei at the other end of the long table slowly picked up a candle that had been cut off by Fuma Kotaro. He lit the candle with a match, and the candlelight once again illuminated the dark spring flowers.
"Inuyama-kun?" After seeing the black figure behind Lu Mingfei clearly, Sakurai Nanami was stunned, "Master Inuyama, why are you here?"
"Master Fuma, Master Sakurai, you are well." Inuyama Ga nodded to Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami.
"You're all right?" Feng Mo Kotaro's expression ranged between anger and confusion, "Feng Mo, why do you appear here, and why are you with Lu Jun... Regarding all of this, I I think you should give us a reasonable explanation."
"Fuuma-kun, I have been in the dark room of this Japanese-style room from the beginning, so I heard the whole conversation between you and Lu-kun." Inuyama Ga said to Fuuma Kotaro, "Fuuma-kun, what I have to tell you is , Lu Jun’s words..."
"Inuyama-kun!" Sakurai Nanami interrupted Inuyama He sternly, "We don't want to hear you defend the family's enemies. We want to ask you why you are here and why you want to protect Lu Mingfei. We ask you for help." Asking for a reason that can convince us is not a request, we need you to prove to us whether you have betrayed the Snake Qiba family!"
"Master Sakurai, you are all confused. The fundamental question now is no longer about who betrayed the family and who is loyal to the family." Inuyama Ga looked at Sakurai Nanami with burning eyes and said in an extremely serious tone, "I know that you, Master Sakurai, and Fuma-kun are completely loyal to the family... but what if the family's policy was a mistake from the beginning?"
"Is the family's policy a mistake?" Fuma Kotaro and Sakurai Nanami looked at each other, and both of them frowned deeply.
"Inuyama-kun, do you mean that the family did the wrong thing by killing the 'god'?" Sakurai Nanami stared closely into Inuyama-ga's eyes, "Now that things have happened, do Inuyama-kun want to tell me that all this time? , the families who want to kill the 'god' are all wrong, but the fierce ghosts and Lu Mingfei who are trying to resurrect the 'god' are right?"
"No, I didn't say that the fierce ghosts are right, or that this matter has nothing to do with right and wrong at all, nor is it a matter of stance like the Fuma family and Sakurai-san said." Inuyama Ga said quietly. Sakurai Nanami looked at each other, "I didn't say that the Fuma family and the Sakurai family are doing the wrong thing, but have you ever thought about it... what if you were deceived from the beginning?"
