Eighth Crown

Although he already knew the true face of Liu Sheng Zongju, Liu Xia did not act immediately. This old man has other values, and it would be a pity to die now.

After turning around in the Tianshou Pavilion again and not finding other characters who were suspected to be heroic swordsmen, Liu Xia left the Tianshou Pavilion and returned to the hotel in the dark.

Everyone in the hotel was fast asleep, but Liu Xia still didn't disturb anyone, and silently returned to her room.

…………

the next day.

"Hey, have you heard? It seems that an assassin broke into the Tianshou Pavilion last night, and even Lord Tajima from Edo was cut off by the assassin!"

"I heard about it. It is said that the assassin originally planned to attack Master Matsudaira, but he didn't expect to collide with Master Tajima."

"Ah, it's been really uneventful recently..."

Before everyone went out, they heard the story from inside and outside the restaurant. The geisha and the servants were talking about it, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

In just one night, the assassin attacked the Tianshou Pavilion and cut off a hand of Yagyu Tashou, which spread in this rustic city at an astonishing speed, and also spawned many strange rumors.

"real or fake?!"

During the breakfast, after hearing about this incident, Musashi immediately showed a look of surprise, "That old man is a juggernaut who can't even compare to me, and he was actually taken by an assassin? It won't be a heroic sword How dare you move your hand?"

Musashi's strength is actually quite strong, even a second- or third-rate Servant can fight against it, but the possibility of defeat is high. After all, the decisive difference between humans and heroic spirits cannot be made up by practicing swords. .

And according to her statement, the Liusheng Zongju she once met was able to defeat her within a few tricks, indicating that the swordsmen in the sword saint realm did have the possibility to fight with their servants.

They have a level of consciousness far beyond that of ordinary people in the use of power, the method of breathing, the adjustment of steps, etc., and it is not impossible to fight with some Servants who are not too restrained by them.

But on the other hand, if you want to defeat this kind of Sword Saint, and even cut off one of his arms in front of his face, almost no one can do it except the Servant. After all, this kind of person has already stood on the top of the human race. , The secret skills that have been learned, not to mention monsters, even fantasy species have the possibility to match.

"How about we go to the Tianshou Pavilion today to check the situation?"

Fujimaru Rika thought for a while, and suggested to a few people: "If it is really a heroic swordsman, then we must not sit idly by and let them go on, and I don't know how many people will be killed."

The Hitachi Kingdom was destroyed by a single Ba Yuqian.

The ghost knows if the remaining few heroic swordsmen will go crazy like her, and then let countless people in a country be buried in purgatory, how many couples, children, and old people living peacefully in this era are just The thought of them being buried in the mouth of the weird is enough to make one shudder.

"I trust the judgment of the lord, but how do we get in?"

Fengmo Kotaro asked a question, "The castle guarded by the general guard of a country is probably not something that we wandering warriors can easily enter."

In this era, they are just some wandering warriors. Although they are respected and feared by the common people, they are not in the eyes of some dignitaries. They have raised many warriors who are willing to work for them. .

"Well, it depends on Lixiang!"

Musashi snickered like this, and cast a narrow look at Fujimaru Rika, "After all, the daughter-in-law regards Rika as a person of destiny, and it should be easier to get in!"

When the orange-haired girl heard the words, an extremely helpless look appeared on her face.

"Ryuxia-chan, do you want to go together?" Musashi looked in the direction of Liuxia.

The rumor of the assassin was true, but Liu Xia was the party involved, and the truth of last night couldn't be clearer. After all, the so-called assassin was himself, not a heroic swordsman at all.

"Just go, the familiar will follow you, I have other things to do."

Liu Xia didn't plan to go to the Tianshou Pavilion with them, it was just a waste of time, and it was all useless. Besides, he just felt that he had made a breakthrough, and it was too late to go deeper into cultivation, and he would not go out with them to run. .

Anyway, after knowing the true face of Liuyu Zongju, his skill value enhancement task has basically been confirmed to be completed. Just wait for the black hand behind the scenes to emerge and then wipe out all at once, then we can solve this singularity and complete the Noble Phantasm value enhancement task, so there is no need to rush. It is necessary to kill the heroic swordsman.

Even if something really happened, he could know it through the familiar and rush to it quickly. Anyway, the hotel is only a few kilometers away from the Tianshou Pavilion, and he can arrive in half a minute.

"Really, then we're off!"

After breakfast, Fujimaru Rika, Musashi and Fumo Kotaro went to the Tianshou Pavilion together, while Yinshun of Treasure House remained in the hotel.

Liu Xia found an open space in the backyard of the hotel and practiced his sword on his own.

The so-called swordsmanship does have incredible power, and others don't know it, but the sword in Liuyu Zongju's hand really has the power to cut through everything.

"The strength of the heart is not enough."

Liu Xia has already clarified his own problems. He doesn't know what other kendos are like. The only thing he has learned from the battle with Liuyu Zongju is that Kenshin must be strong.

It is true that Liu Xia's will can be regarded as firm, but the heart and the will are not the same thing. The will is reflected in firmness, and the heart is more of a kind of determination, guarding yourself and not being disturbed by any foreign objects. , as extreme as the moon in the water.

Liu Sheng Zongju achieved the purpose of tempering his mind through Zen meditation, and Liu Xia almost had his own ideas, just waiting for the time to come.

The way he wants to walk is similar to the way of the sky, and it is also close to the extreme intention of the new Yin Liu, but in the end, the way he understands is probably not any of these two ways, but a specious thing.

And Liusheng Zongju is his last whetstone.

Yagyu Zongju couldn't die until that time came, so he just let him go last night.

That time is already near.

…………

When the noon approached lunch, Fujimaru Rika and the others returned to the hotel, each with a solemn expression.

"I got the accurate information. I didn't expect that a heroic swordsman broke into the Tianshou Pavilion last night and tried to assassinate."

The first words that Fujimaru Rika said to Liu Xia made him not care, but then, her words made Liu Xia look sideways.

"The other party seems to have left a notice letter, saying that he will come again tonight for assassination, and the target is not the general manager of Matsudaira, but his daughter Qingji!"
