Lin Yu's determination to destroy Japan greatly disappointed Mutō Hide.
"As the emperor, you should have compassion for all living beings. The world belongs to everyone, and we Japanese are also human beings with the right to survive!" Muto Ei tried to persuade Lin Yu.
“The weak have no choice, just like we were three hundred years ago when we were weak. Mutō Hide, I admire you and appreciate you, but I'm sorry, human nature is unpredictable. Faced with the future fate of the entire human race, I can only choose cruelty!”
"Why bother with this? Extermination of a race—this sin is destined to become an obstacle on your path to becoming the Human Emperor. As the Human Emperor, you should firmly believe in cause and effect!"
"As the emperor, I naturally believe in cause and effect, but I care more about my own Dao heart. If I don't destroy Japan, my Dao heart will not be late, and how can I achieve the Dao? As for the future cause and effect, hehe, as the emperor, oh, I'd rather go to hell. Who goes to hell? Besides, if killing a million people can save ten million, I think this karmic burden is worth bearing!"
Upon hearing this, Muto Hide's eyes filled with utter despair.
At the same time, it aroused boundless awe.
We only discuss the mind of Tao, not cause and effect; we discuss the mind, not the actions.
He suddenly realized that perhaps this was the true path!
If one's mind is clear and free from selfish desires, what harm is there in killing?
Killing one person is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand is heroism!
Killing a million people makes one a hero among heroes!
The young man in his twenties in front of him was a man of great ambition, just as he had made up his mind when he first met him.
"It seems I was right about you!"
Muto Hideyoshi sighed deeply.
"Back then, I gave you a head start in life, hoping that you would remember this kindness today, but unfortunately..."
Muto Hide slowly gripped the hilt of the sword, his eyes gradually sharpening.
Having reached this point, there is no room for luck, no room for hesitation.
There is no other way but to fight.
Although this was the last thing he wanted to see.
But how could a samurai's life escape a life-or-death duel?
To die in battle is the only fate for a samurai!
Lin Yu, however, didn't think that much about it. In his mind, only by destroying Japan could his Dao heart be clear and he could become a true immortal. Otherwise, talking about achieving the Dao was just a joke.
People are born with a mission, and with a mission comes a stance, and with a stance comes right and wrong!
As far as the strong are concerned, my stance is right, and my fist is good!
One person comes, to kill; ten thousand come, to slaughter; millions come, to carnage!
Evil will not be eradicated, and the killing will not cease!
Whew!
Suddenly, a gust of wind arose, and a thousand piles of snow fell. This snow came very strangely, making it feel like late autumn had turned into the cold winter.
The two remained silent. Muto Hide gripped the hilt of his sword and stood in the wind and snow for a full quarter of an hour.
"You didn't draw your sword back then, are you not planning to draw it today?" Lin Yu was getting impatient, or rather, he was quite impatient. He respected a strong person like Mutou Ying and was looking forward to seeing that amazing sword strike. It was because of his anticipation that he was impatient.
Muto Hide's gaze remained unchanged as he spoke calmly, "I have practiced the Itto-ryu style for sixty years. My sword has only one strike, so I must be cautious!"
"That's because your swordsmanship is flawed. The true way of the sword is to act freely and spontaneously. Hesitation will only cost you your life!" Lin Yu offered a different perspective.
Muto Hide smiled slightly, "Born into a humble family, I have always been cautious in my actions since childhood. This is the reason why I have been able to survive among the ronin samurai. I admit that this has had some impact on my swordsmanship, but it is also the foundation upon which I rely for survival, and it is also my attitude towards the strong. I will not draw my sword unless I am absolutely certain of victory!"
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. What he was saying was like bullshit. Had this old guy already admitted defeat?
Da da da!
The wooden clogs turned around, and Muto Ei chose to face away from Lin Yu.
In a duel between masters, much like a predator hunting, leaving one's back exposed to the enemy is undoubtedly a foolish act.
Because you might turn around in a second and be facing a tiger!
Lin Yu is not a tiger, but a five-clawed golden dragon, so he naturally disdains to attack people from behind.
Just as he was about to try and trick the other person a few more times, swish!
As the silver moon approached, the sharp blade was already close to Lin Yu's head.
"What a fast strike!"
It was simple and unadorned, without even any airflow fluctuations, as if it had been cut in a vacuum.
There were no special effects added.
But at that moment, Lin Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his eyelids twitched as well, as if he sensed a tiny bit of threat.
Then, Lin Yu was split in two.
Half of him is Lin Yu, and the other half is also Lin Yu.
However, Muto Hide did not show any surprise.
Instead, his pupils contracted again and again, until they finally dimmed completely.
Da da da!
He turned around and faced one direction.
Lin Yu stood there, neither happy nor sad, calm as still water, as if he had always been there without moving.
However, the two halves of Lin Yu gradually blurred and disappeared.
"This is impossible!" Muto Hide muttered to himself in disbelief.
"What's impossible?"
"No one can dodge my blade, no one can outrun my blade, not even the immortals can ignore it!"
As he said this, his tone was filled with deep confusion!
Lin Yu did not refute it. Although the other party's cultivation had not broken through to the Longevity Realm, he had to admit that the other party's understanding of the Dao of the Sword had reached an extremely high level.
This realm has already subtly surpassed the limits of humanity and is capable of influencing the operation of the Heavenly Dao.
Of course, this effect is very subtle and small, but it is still quite remarkable because it can affect those who live long lives.
