The momentum lasted for a full fifteen minutes before gradually subsiding.
At this moment, the frail old man has completely transformed into a spirited young man!
"Sigh, it still fell short in the end..."
As a young man, Muto Hide couldn't help but mutter to himself, his tone slightly regretful.
"Master, what do you mean by this?" Longyu Zhenzi was puzzled. The master had clearly reached the pinnacle of skill, so why was he still feeling sorry for himself?
Muto Hide shook his head and said, "The realm of martial arts has no limit. I have only reached the limit that I can exhaust, not the limit of heaven and earth!"
"The limits of heaven and earth?" Long Yuzhenzi looked surprised.
Muto Hide continued nodding, "That's right. In the distant ancient times, heaven, earth, and man were not separate, nor were they primary or secondary; they were simply equal. The limits of man were the limits of heaven and earth, so man did not live under heaven and earth. But now the world has reached the end of the Dharma era, and man lives under heaven and earth, bound by the rules of the Heavenly Dao. No matter what, man cannot break the limits of heaven and earth!"
"Then, did Lin Yu break it?" Long Yuzhenzi asked hurriedly.
Mutō Hideki was silent for a moment, "He was the Human Emperor, on par with heaven and earth, he was the limit, what's the point of fighting! However, he is now a reincarnated body, and may not have the same glory as his previous life!"
"So, you have the strength to fight!" Long Yuzhenzi was both nervous and excited.
She was nervous because both Mutō Ei and Rin Yū were the most important people to her, and she didn't want them to both suffer.
The exciting thing is that Mutō Hide's breakthrough could very well save the fate of the Japanese.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Everything is preordained. I will do my best!"
With a determined look in his eyes, Mutō Hide said, "The Human Emperor is someone I greatly respect. Back then, I could see a glimpse of his origins and knew that he was the chosen one. Who wins or loses is no longer important. As long as I do my best, that is the greatest respect we can show each other!"
"Your Highness!"
His gaze gradually turned to Long Yuzhenzi, and he said with deep emotion, "It's the first watch of the night now, and the moon will be fullest at the third watch. The moon is bright and the stars are few. I may not be able to return when the moon is fullest! I promised your mother that I would protect you in this life, but if I fail, please remember to send a bouquet of lilies to your mother's grave next year when the peach blossoms bloom, and say sorry to her!"
"master……"
Long Yuzhen choked up, her vision gradually blurring.
Muto Hide nodded with a smile, then suddenly nodded at him, and then disappeared from the spot.
"Master Muto! Master Muto!! Muto...Dad!"
In the end, she collapsed to the ground like a child, murmuring the title she had lost for twenty years.
...
Yandu, Xiangshan.
The frost-touched leaves are redder than the flowers of February, and the biting spring breeze is like a pair of scissors.
A tall and straight figure stood atop Zijin Mountain.
Beneath the dome, a breathtakingly beautiful scene unfolds, with figures resembling celestial beings, as if they have vanished from the mortal realm.
"The hustle and bustle of everyday life can never compare to the scenery outside the mountains. Being here feels like stepping into another world!"
He muttered to himself, as if telling others about his feelings.
A young and resolute figure emerged from the silence, his wooden clogs creaking on the fallen leaves, exuding a composed air.
"You've arrived?"
"I am coming!"
You shouldn't have come!
"But I came anyway!"
"What a boring opening!"
"I've also read Gu Long's novels. The dialogues in his novels are simple yet concise, and the martial arts scenes are even more captivating!"
"It's just a novel after all!"
"I've always been curious!"
"What are you curious about?" "Are those magical martial arts in your Great Xia novels really real?"
"For example?"
"For example, with the One-Finger Divine Skill, a single poke will send a golden light piercing through a person, leaving them severely injured!"
"is that so?"
Chirp!
After saying that, Lin Yu poked at a distant mountain peak, and the mountaintop disappeared instantly.
Muto Hide paused for a moment, a look of regret appearing on his face. "Just kidding. Two mountains of equal height, and now one of them is gone. It's such a pity!"
"Since ancient times, there has been no first place in literature, but there is no second place in martial arts. Reality is often more exciting than novels, and it's lonely at the top!" Lin Yu said meaningfully.
Mutō Eiji was taken aback again, then suddenly laughed, "Master Lin, is this a subtle dig, a warning to me?"
"beat?"
Lin Yu turned around, stared into his eyes, and said with a playful expression, "Ten years ago, Master Muto Hide was the most outstanding martial artist in the entire country of Japan. No one could match him. Even I was no match for him back then. As a junior, how could I possibly put you down?"
Muto Ei's face turned awkward, and he said somewhat guiltily, "Look at you, lying through your teeth! I clearly didn't even dare to draw my sword back then!"
“Although you didn’t draw your sword, you drew it countless times in your heart! Am I right?” Lin Yu said calmly.
Muto Hide looked slightly surprised, then smiled wryly and said, "So you already knew back then?"
"Of course, I'm not stupid. Although your cultivation level was higher than mine at the time, my intuition told me that I was no match for you!" Lin Yu said confidently.
Muto Hide nodded and admitted frankly, "You're right. Back then, in terms of martial arts level, I was far superior to you. But when I mentally simulated what it would be like if we were at the same level, I could defeat you. The answer is, impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"So, you didn't draw your sword because you look down on me?" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.
Muto Hide shook his head. "I just want a fair duel!"
