Chapter 999 Heroes from ancient times are like beautiful women, no white heads are allowed in the world!
Source Musashi!
Hearing this name, everyone in the venue was stunned for a while. It took a long time for someone to react and murmured: "Senior Kurosaki, are you talking about... is it the legendary swordsman who became famous a hundred years ago?"
In the world of Japanese swordsmanship, Sword Master is the supreme title and the goal that countless swordsmen pursue throughout their lives.
As the saying goes, the king cannot see the king!
In the same era, there can be countless swordsmen, but the title of "Sword Master" can only be won by the strongest person.
Therefore, every generation of "Sword Master" is the invincible number one in the art of swordsmanship.
However, to many powerful people present, the current Sword Master Gen Musashi is a very unfamiliar name.
Because as early as a hundred years ago, Minamoto Musashi had retired from the world and could not go out in seclusion.
Since then, there has never been any news about him.
The entire Japanese martial arts world has forgotten the existence of such a sword master.
"Senior Kurosaki, you are not old and confused, are you? That swordsman has disappeared for a hundred years, and he might have died of old age in the mountains long ago! Even if he really lived to this day, he would still be more than 150 years old.
He is old, his energy and blood are exhausted, and his body is haggard. I am afraid he can no longer even hold a sword!" someone questioned.
"presumptuous!"
Kurosaki Yuuo shouted loudly and refuted: "You ignorant juniors have never seen the power of Minamoto Musashi-sama, how dare you criticize yourself here? Minamoto Musashi-sama is the most amazing martial arts genius in the history of Japan.
He learned swordsmanship at the age of six, and by the age of eighteen, he was already the strongest in Japan's swordsmanship, defeating all the heroes!
In order to pursue the ultimate in martial arts, he went to China and fought against the strong. He was invincible and conquered! Within one year, he defeated ninety-nine martial arts in China and had no defeat in his career! When he returned, the huge
In the Japanese country, no one can take a move from him!
Later, Minamoto Musashi-sama became the emperor's kendo teacher, teaching him kendo and the art of war. The emperor also gave him the Amancongyun Sword, one of the three sacred weapons. For a time, he was so popular that even the great priest of Ise Jingu Shrine
He respects me very much!"
Hearing these words, everyone in the venue looked shocked and their hearts were surging. They never expected that this little-known swordsman would have such a brilliant record that year.
"Senior Kurosaki, since the Sword Master is so powerful, why did he retire from the world?" someone asked.
"No one knows the specific reason except the Sword Master himself! However, some people speculate that he is practicing a peerless swordsmanship that prevents him from leaving seclusion! Once he masters it, it will be enough to shake the world. Gods can kill gods, and Buddhas can kill Buddhas.
!" Kurosaki Yufu explained.
"But...since Lord Sword Master can't come out of seclusion, we can't find him even if we dig three feet into the ground!"
"You don't have to worry about this!" Kurosaki Yuuo said decisively: "My master was a close friend of the Sword Master back then, and he knows where he is retreating!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes were filled with unconcealable ecstasy, as if they had seen a life-saving straw.
…
The next day.
Led by Kurosaki Yuuo, more than a dozen martial arts masters came to a valley near the Izu Plateau.
After trekking all the way, I finally found a hidden natural cave. The space inside was cramped, the light was dim, and the long-term sedimentation made the cave full of stalactites and stalagmites. On the top of the cave, there were countless bats hanging upside down, which was eerie and terrifying.
"This is Ten Thousand Bat Cave, we have arrived at our destination!"
Kurosaki Yufu shouted excitedly, and then quickened his pace, followed by others.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the group finally reached the deepest part of the cave, and a huge boulder about ten feet high appeared in their sight.
On top of the boulder, a haggard figure sat.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
The next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Looking closely, I saw that the man was wearing a shabby gray shirt, which was covered with dust, as if it had not been washed for hundreds of years.
The old face is covered with wrinkles, the ruthless marks left by the years. His eyes are closed and motionless, like a stone statue, blending into the surrounding world.
The aura on his body was extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the strong wind, which might be extinguished at any time.
No one can connect this dying old man with the legendary swordsman who is invincible and dominates the world.
For a moment, the faces of many warriors showed disappointment.
In their opinion, it is impossible for Minamoto Musashi in front of them to defeat Ye Beichen!
&
nbsp;Anyone on the court can defeat him if he takes the field.
…
At this time, Kurosaki Yuuo walked quickly to the front of the boulder, raised his head, and said in an unusually respectful voice: "Katori Shinto Master, Kurosaki Yuuo, pays homage to the Sword Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man on the boulder opened his eyes slightly and said slowly: "It's Little Kurosaki... ahem... I haven't seen him in a hundred years..."
His voice was intermittent, and every word seemed to use up all his strength.
Hearing the name "Little Kurosaki", everyone else in the venue had strange expressions on their faces.
You know, Kurosaki Yuuo is also a hundred years old, and he has a senior level in the Japanese martial arts world. When ordinary swordsmen see him, they have to bow to him as a junior. Who dares to call him that?
However, what Sword Master Gen Musashi said is exactly right.
"You came to me...ahem...why?" the old man asked.
"Master Sword Master, we are not talented enough to defend the glory of Japanese martial arts! I came here this time to ask you to come out and deal with a Chinese warrior!" Kurosaki Yufu explained.
"Chinese warrior?" Minamoto Musashi raised his voice slightly.
"Lord Sword Master, you once went to China, defeated ninety-nine martial arts, and established unparalleled power! But this time, a strong Chinese man emerged from the sky, named Ye Beichen, and invaded our Japanese country! He
He is a master of martial arts and can trigger a tsunami with one sword, and has bloodbathed many sects. Even the three major kendos and two major ninja clans were destroyed in his hands!"
"oh?"
This time, Minamoto Musashi's voice finally made some waves, saying: "There are talented people from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years! Do you come to me just because you want me to deal with that Ye Beichen?"
"That's right!"
Kurosaki Yongo said: "Master Sword Master, you are our only hope. If you don't come out, no one can stop Ye Beichen, and the Japanese martial arts world will fall! By then, we will all be sinners, and I am afraid we will have to commit seppuku.
Committed suicide!"
Having said this, Kurosaki Yuuo paused and continued: "Master Sword Master, it is rumored that you are in retreat here to practice a supreme swordsmanship! If you face Ye Beichen, what are your chances of winning?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the venue looked at Minamoto Musashi with great expectation.
Even though Minamoto Musashi looks like a dying old man, they still hold on to the last glimmer of hope and look forward to a miracle!
Under the gaze of everyone, Minamoto Musashi slowly opened his mouth and said:
"I have been sitting here for a hundred years, and for a hundred years... I have not held a sword!"
…
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the venue.
Including Kurosaki Yuuo, many warriors had incredible expressions on their faces, and they couldn't believe their ears.
It took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses, and then a feeling of despair spread in everyone's hearts.
Even if you are a brilliant genius, if you don't put in the effort, you will eventually be lost to the public.
For a swordsman, if he does not wield his sword for a day, he will feel guilty in his heart. If he does not wield his sword for a month, his swordsmanship will become rusty. If he does not wield his sword for a year, his strength will plummet.
But now Minamoto Musashi said that he has not held a sword for a hundred years, so his current strength may have degraded to the level of an ordinary person, even worse than a novice who has just practiced swordsmanship!
Since ancient times, heroes are like beauties, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world!
No one could have imagined that the all-powerful Japanese God of War would sink to this level.
At this time, a scar-faced swordsman sneered: "Tsk! What a bullshit swordsman, he's just a person who has gained a reputation in vain!"
"Bold! Don't be rude to the Sword Master. Apologize quickly!" Kurosaki Yufu angrily scolded.
However, the scar-faced swordsman looked arrogant, looked up at Genmusashi on the boulder, and shouted: "This bad old man with no power has simply tarnished the name of 'Sword Master', why not replace him with me?"
!”
As he spoke, a flash of murderous intent flashed in the scarred-faced swordsman's eyes. He actually pulled out the long sword at his waist and performed an incredibly fast Iai Slash.
"Whoosh!"
The refined sword energy was three feet long, tearing apart the sky and striking towards the top of Minamoto Musashi's head, as if it was going to split him in two.
Facing this attack without warning, the warrior next to him had no time to stop it and could only watch the tragedy unfold.
At this critical moment, the haggard Minamoto Musashi suddenly opened his eyes.
