I formed the strongest swordsman group

——What is this...?

Prajna's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

The scenes he just saw all happened in a flash... No! "Instant", "Moment", "Flash" and other words are not enough to describe Qing Deng's swift slash!

After Qing Deng and Kiryu Boss both took the Iai stance and Qing Deng's aura suddenly changed, the following time seemed to be cut and taken away!

Obviously Prajna did not blink, his eyes were always fixed on Qing Deng, without any slackness.

But even so, he still couldn't keep up with his speed!

He didn't even see how Qing Deng approached him.

He only saw Qing Deng suddenly came in front of him, drew his knife, and the white blade flashed.

On the other hand, Prajna... his long Sone Kotetsu was still in the sheath, and he didn't have time to draw it out!

Although his heart was filled with extremely strong shock, the severe pain from his chest announced the fact that Prajna could not accept.

The huge cut extending from the right rib to the left shoulder was broken like a shell.

According to the amount of bleeding and the depth of the wound, it is not difficult to see that Prajna's ribs and chest have been cut off, and the liver, spleen, lungs and other internal organs have all been severely damaged.

At this point... the winner is decided!

"Cough, cough cough...!"

Prajna staggered back several steps, and the blood like a fountain splashed all over the ground.

Under the instinctive reaction of "craving for battle", he subconsciously stepped on his heels, trying to stand up again and continue fighting with Qing Deng.

However... With such injuries, there is no possibility of fighting again.

He was seen shaking from side to side for a few times before collapsing.

First, his knees softened, and then he fell on his back, stirring up a layer of light dust.

……

……

[Ding! Scanning for talent]

[Talent successfully copied: "Innate Selfless Holy Body +7"]

[Talent introduction: It is easier to enter the "selfless state" than ordinary people]

The cold mechanical sound without any emotion came as expected.

A rare new talent.

And it is a god-level talent with amazing power!

"Innate Selfless Holy Body +7"...Although I feel surprised, I am not surprised.

Based on Prajna's talent and ability, no matter what kind of talent is copied from him, Qingdeng will feel it is reasonable.

It is certainly gratifying to get another god-level talent.

But Qingdeng has no time to experience this joy now.

Looking at Prajna who fell to the ground with a knife, Qingdeng was slightly startled.

After coming back to his senses, he immediately squeezed out a dry gasp from his throat.

"Haa...! Haa...! Haa...! Haa...!"

An indescribable feeling of fatigue wrapped around his whole body like a soaked towel.

Although he didn't have time to open the system interface to check, Qing Deng dared to conclude that the moment he swung his sword just now, the eternal talent "Eight Banners without Confusion" was activated!

It's been a long time since I last saw it... Since the battle with Luosha, Qing Deng has never been able to successfully activate this talent again.

The reason is not complicated, it's all because the activation conditions are too harsh.

Only when the mind and spirit are united and there is no confusion in the heart can you use the strongest attack like the Eight Banners Daimyojin possessed... After two successful experiences, Qing Deng has figured out the mechanism.

Here, "mind and spirit are united, and there is no confusion in the heart" does not only refer to concentration, but also refers to the unshakable determination to defeat the opponent!

The reason why Qing Deng was able to hit this strongest attack at the critical moment just now was thanks to the help of Boss Kiryu.

He was thinking about "fighting with Prajna".

If Boss Kiryu hadn't suddenly stood behind him and gave him great courage and encouragement, he would never have been able to restore his state of mind to clarity.

Therefore, this victory was not so much the result of Qing Deng's own efforts as the result of the joint efforts of the master and the apprentice.

In the duel with Luosha, the moves Qing Deng used were just ordinary flowing light.

This time, the knife he slashed was the secret of flowing light, "Moment"!

Pour all the muscle strength, body weight, and potential energy after running at full speed into the knife at the waist... Although it is difficult, the power is really amazing.

Apart from anything else, its power alone is worthy of the name of the secret!

To be honest, Qing Deng himself can't remember what happened just now.

I only remember that I concentrated all my strength on my toes and rushed straight towards Prajna... After that, Prajna fell to the ground covered in blood.

He listened to the teachings of the boss Kiryu, threw away all distractions, and slashed as he wanted-then he naturally used "Moment".

While there were still some memories in his mind, Qing Deng tried to recall the feeling of swinging the knife just now and absorb nutrients.

He had a premonition... no, he had a certainty: from now on, "Moment" would no longer be a move that he was unable to master!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The sudden cough made Qing Deng subconsciously turn his sight and look at Prajna not far away.

He saw the other party cough a few times, his chest rose and fell violently a few times, and then gradually calmed down.

Until now, Qing Deng still had an inexplicable sense of unreality - this powerful enemy that made him and Boss Kiryu suffer so much finally fell.

He once considered letting Prajna live.

In any case, the other party was his senior brother and Boss Kiryu's first apprentice.

There is no doubt that Boss Kiryu absolutely treats this person as his own son.

Killing Boss Kiryu's son with his own hands... How could Qing Deng not be a careless plant?

However, Prajna's strength far exceeded his expectations.

Even if Qing Deng tried his best, he could only fight him on equal terms, with no room for mercy.

If Qing Deng had been kind-hearted just now, or had hesitated for a moment, he would not have been able to activate the "Eight Banners of Infinite Confusion".

By then, the person who would have spurted blood and fell to the ground would probably be him.

Qing Deng looked at Prajna lying flat on the ground, and his facial expression became complicated.

Prajna's breath gradually weakened, and his chest almost stopped rising and falling.

Anyone who saw it knew: It won't be long before he will leave the world forever.

At this time, Qing Deng suddenly heard the sound of floating footsteps coming from behind him.

Looking back, he saw Kiryu Boss dragging his weak body and staggering towards Prajna...

...

Somehow, Prajna felt the pain in his chest gradually fade away and dissipate.

He felt neither pain nor tiredness.

Because he was lying flat on the ground, Prajna's face and sight were facing the blue sky.

It is the end of summer, and the sky today is full of summer atmosphere.

The sky is clear and dotted with soft white clouds, which makes people feel happy just by looking at it.

——Huh? Is the sky so vast?

Prajna looked at the clear blue sky with surprise like a child who had just come into the world.

At this time, he realized that he didn't know when he stopped looking at the sky or other beautiful scenery leisurely, and was thinking about practicing, getting stronger, and getting the recognition of his master.

——It was really... a powerful sword... I lost...

Although he felt unwilling to lose this time, he didn't have any resentment in his heart.

He and Qing Deng were in a fair duel, and the conditions of both sides were almost the same.

The same "selfless state".

The same tricks.

If there is any difference, it is probably the "off-field assistance" of Kiryu boss.

Boss Kiryu stood behind Qing Deng, said something to him, and held Vairocana lightly in the same Iai stance, and Qing Deng's aura suddenly changed... Boss Kiryu's existence must be the key to Qing Deng's transformation.

However, Prajna did not resent it.

He asked himself: Even if he and Qing Deng were swapped, and he and Boss Kiryu worked together to perform the "Master and Disciple Iai Slash", he would never be able to replicate the speed and power of Qing Deng's slash just now.

He was defeated thoroughly... He was convinced... He could not find any reason to resent him at all, and he could only blame himself for being weak.

Suddenly, this should be the so-called revolving lantern. Prajna suddenly saw countless images passing by his eyes.

Even if he didn't look closely, he knew that these were all kinds of memories since he was born.

Although the amount was not small, most of them flashed quickly, and the pictures were very blurry, and he couldn't see what they were at all.

In a moment, an image was frozen in front of his eyes - a faint nostalgic color suddenly appeared on Prajna's cheeks.

At the moment when all memories have faded, only this image is still very emotional, as if it happened yesterday - this is the day he met his master.

...

"Kid, what are you doing?"

"Catching cicadas."

"Catching cicadas?"

"Don't you know? It's the kind of insect that keeps chirping in the summer."

"No, I know what a cicada is. I'm just curious. As far as I know, you are a lonely child who is not good at communication and only knows how to practice swords all day long. I didn't expect you to have such a hobby."

"Catching cicadas is one of my few hobbies, because cicada meat is delicious... Old man, who are you? You have been talking to me since just now. If you are a human trafficker, then you are out of luck. , you've found the wrong person."

"Old man... what an impolite name. I'm a relative of your adoptive father Yoshitomo, so I'm also your relative."

"Father's relative? Are you also from the Yamada Asaemon family?"

"This kind of thing is not important. Child, I'll get straight to the point. Your adoptive father asked me to accept you as a disciple. Are you willing to follow me?"

"Ah ah? Accept me as a disciple? You?"

"What? You don't want to?"

"I don't want to! I want to practice with my father!"

"Child, even if I don't say it clearly, you should know that Yoshitomo is a disciple of the Yamada Asaemon family. He... doesn't have much time left."

"..."

"I can understand your feelings. Birth, aging, illness and death are the common sense of the world. We can't do anything about the death of relatives and friends, and can only accept it calmly."

"...Old man, did my father really ask you to take me as his apprentice?"

"If you don't believe it, we can go and confirm it with him now."

"Since the master asked you to take me as his apprentice, you should have some ability, right? I'll be frank with you, don't look down on me just because I'm a child. I'm very strong, and ordinary people are not qualified to be my master."

"Ha , so you are doubting my strength. "

"Of course, I don't want to see my master is a rotten old man with a golden appearance and a rotten heart."

"In that case... then I will show you my skills on the spot. I respect your wishes. After seeing my swordsmanship, if you still don't want to recognize me as your master, you can turn around and leave, and don't have to pay attention to me anymore."

After saying that, he lowered his waist, held the sheath with his left hand, the handle with his right hand, and slowly took the Iai stance——

...

So far, the scenes of the first meeting with the master ended when he drew the sword out of the sheath.

The dazzling blade light that filled the vision and dimmed the sunlight in the sky was deeply reflected in Prajna's eyes and engraved in the depths of his mind, lingering.

——This is the starting point of everything... It turns out that so much time has passed...

When he thought of this, the nostalgic color on his cheeks became a little stronger.

Master probably never thought that the blade he swung to show his strength back then would have such a huge impact on me.

There are such strong old people in this world.

There are such strong and so... beautiful slashes in this world.

That day, I first saw the breadth of the world.

That day, after "becoming the unparalleled for a thousand years", I had a new goal.

I worked hard to practice, thinking about becoming stronger, and even betrayed my master, broke with my master, and joined the notorious Fazhu Party. What was all this for?

Was it because I longed for the blade of Vairocana?

No!

Although Vairocana is a peerless sword, the quality of the "best great works" such as Nagasone Kotetsu, the first generation Tadayoshi, and the first generation Kunihaku is not inferior to it.

A mere sword is not worth such a huge sacrifice for me.

Am I greedy for the title of "master"?

No!

I don't even care about the position of the head of the Yamada Asaemon family, so how can I care about a master who only has me as an apprentice?

Am I trying to become "unparalleled for a thousand years"?

No!

If I want to become "unparalleled for a thousand years", why should I care about the evaluation of the master, I can just walk my own night road bravely.

Vairocana, the master's mantle... they are just a symbol.

They are the symbol of the master, the symbol of "Ryuko Hachiman".

Master, I practice with all my strength, even if I make you sad and upset, and I also want to hear your recognition of me with my own ears, just wanting... wanting...

wanting to be you.

…

…

Prajna felt that time had passed for a long time.

In fact, from the time the revolving lantern appeared in front of his eyes, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the light around him dim.

He opened his eyes with difficulty and looked intently - an extremely familiar old figure suddenly broke into his eyes.

Although his internal strength was rapidly draining away, and he didn't even have the strength to vibrate his vocal cords, he still struggled to squeeze out a hoarse voice from his throat:

"Master..."

Boss Kiryu knelt beside him, lowered his head, and looked at him without saying a word.

Due to the influence of the backlight, he couldn't see the master's facial expression, but only a dark shadow.

At the moment when my life is about to pass away, what last words do I have?

At this point, what else can I say to the master?

All kinds of thoughts ran through his mind.

Finally, his lips moved naturally:

"Master... do I still have a chance... like when we were kids... to catch cicadas with you...?"

"..."

At this moment, Kiryu boss's waist seemed to have lost its support, and it bent into a bow shape, and his head drooped on his chest.

"... Prajna... No, Keji, if there is an afterlife, let's be master and apprentice again."

"..."

"Keji?"

Kiryu boss stretched out his hand and gently touched Keji's body.

"..."

"..."

The long silence was both Kiryu boss's silence and Keji's eternal sleep.

Qing Deng walked forward slowly and stood quietly beside Kiryu boss.

"... Ju Jun, did Keji hear what I said just now?"

Qing Deng nodded gently:

"Well, he must have heard it. Look, he has closed his eyes peacefully."

Hearing this, Kiryu boss looked in the direction of the sound - Keji closed his eyes, his expression calm.

"Is that so... That's good."

After saying that, Kiryu boss supported himself with his hands and tried to get up.

But when he just straightened up, he fell straight to the ground like a robot that had lost power.

Qing Deng saw this and immediately stepped forward and held Kiryu boss with his hand.

But at this moment, a strong sense of dizziness attacked Qing Deng's brain.

The strange light in Qing Deng's eyes had disappeared just now.

No need to guess, this is the side effect of the "selfless state" after the effect is lifted.

According to Kiryu boss, the "selfless state" will bring a great burden to the body.

When this state is lifted, you will suffer from indescribable fatigue...Qing Deng has experienced it personally.

The dizziness that occupied the entire brain did not gradually dissipate with the passage of time, but instead became more and more intense.

Perhaps because it was the first time to enter the "selfless state", the body was far from accustomed to it, so Qing Deng only felt that the whole body was hollowed out-this is not an exaggeration, but a realistic description.

He hasn't fainted from exhaustion for a long time.

In a moment, his steps began to stagger, and then he fell to the ground with Kiryu Boss, who was supporting him.

Looking at Kiryu Boss again - due to physical fatigue and strong mental shock, he had fainted before Qing Deng.

When he was about to fall to the ground, Qing Deng squeezed out the remaining strength in his body and barely managed to do a body, so as not to hurt himself and Kiryu Boss from falling to the ground.

Qing Deng tried to be strong, even biting the tip of his tongue with his teeth, but it was still useless.

His upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and the darkness from the corners of his eyes gradually covered his vision.

- Damn it... At least wait until I take Kiryu Boss to a safe place...

Just as Qing Deng was complaining in his heart...something strange happened.

He suddenly saw a tall figure jumping down from a branch not far away, and then walked towards him and Kiryu boss slowly.

——Who is it?

Qing Deng thought so, and raised his eyes.

The person who came was not short, about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a light green haori, but the color was much lighter than the Shinsengumi uniform, and there was no mountain pattern embroidered on the cuffs, just a solid color haori that can be seen everywhere in the market.

The most eye-catching thing about this person is the mask on his face - a red Tengu mask.

Looking at this person, Qing Deng suddenly recalled the story that Mr. Gu Mu had told him.

"Kyoto... Tengu...?"

Qing Deng whispered this name with his last strength.

PS: Although the book does not clearly describe it in detail, after joining the Fazhu Party, Hannya did a lot of unscrupulous things for the organization, so it is not an exaggeration for Kiryu boss to say that he went astray.
