Chapter 1978 Wrong Person
"Bang..."
There was a loud bang, and two blades collided with each other.
Afterwards, I saw endless netherworld energy surging, and the sound of ghosts crying suddenly became louder.
The knife that Miyamoto Shenzang chopped out was swallowed by the netherworld energy. Not to mention hurting me, it couldn't even get close to me.
"You lose!" I appeared in front of Miyamoto Shenzang in an instant, and the soul-cutting knife in my hand was already on his neck.
Miyamoto Shenzang's pupils shrank, and his eyes were full of surprise. Obviously, he didn't expect that my knife would be so fast, so fast that he didn't have any chance to react at all.
"I lost!" He let out a long breath of foul air, and then, under my gaze, he knelt on the ground with a thump.
"My Miyamoto family is famous for swordsmanship. We have been in the island country for hundreds of years. From the perspective of swordsmanship alone, we have never lost. Today, the myth of invincibility has been broken in my hands. I am ashamed to face my family and my ancestors!"
As he said this, he pulled out a short sword from his waist, and this sword was used for suicide.
Then, he handed me the long sword Onikiri in his hand.
"Onikiri is a famous sword in the island country. It has been with me for thirty years. Today, it is yours. But before that, I hope you can introduce me to someone else!"
The so-called introduction is the title of the person who served as the finishing sword for those who committed seppuku in the history of the island country.
The reason for the sword is that when committing seppuku, the person committing suicide may not die immediately and needs to endure considerable pain.
In order for the person committing seppuku to die with dignity and honor, an introducer is needed, holding a long sword, to cut off the head of the person committing suicide in one stroke, so as to alleviate his pain and give him a quick death.
However, with the development and progress of the times, the so-called Bushido spirit of the island country has long been dead in name only, but there are still very few people who still believe in it.
And there are fewer people who believe in this way, so introducers are naturally extremely rare.
But what I never expected was that Miyamoto Shinzo actually let me be his introducer to end his life.
I squinted my eyes and looked at the Ghost Cut that he handed over with both hands, then looked at him, and then shook my head slightly: "I admire you for being able to maintain your beliefs in such a chaotic island country, but... you don't have to do this!"
After hearing what I said, he raised his head slightly, looked at me with surprise in his eyes, and then suddenly laughed.
"This is the rule of my Miyamoto family. The loser should commit suicide!" After saying this, he held Onikiri in his hands again and handed it to me: "If you can introduce me to the wrong person, I will die without regrets!"
"You are really a persistent person!" I shook my head slightly, but still did not take Onikiri from his hand, but just said: "Do you know about the demon race?"
"Demon race?" He frowned slightly, then nodded: "I have heard a little about it, but the island country is completely blocking the news, so I don’t know much."
"It’s good to know." I pondered for a while, then said: "The spiritual energy is revived, the world is changing, and in the near future, there may be a situation of gods and demons dancing in disorder on this land of China. And my human race is the weakest among these races, so the human race needs guardians."
"Spiritual energy revives, the world changes drastically? Demons are dancing in disorder...Guardian!" He murmured, chewing on my words. The next second, his eyes flashed: "You mean, in the near future, our human race may suffer a catastrophe of extinction?"
"Yes, and it will be more serious than you think. If you are not careful, you may suffer extinction!" As I said, I stepped forward and helped Miyamoto Shenzang who was kneeling on the ground, and then continued: "Now is the time for the human race to use people. Overseas countries have sent masters to China for support, but only the island country has turned a deaf ear to it. The reason for this is that the emperor of the island country has long been controlled by the demon clan and has become a puppet of the demon clan. The same is true for the shrine!"
"How could this happen!" Miyamoto Shinzo's body was shaken, and his face was stunned. Obviously, he was shocked by the information I revealed.
But then, his eyes flashed, and a firm look appeared in his eyes.
"How can my island country not have people die in China? How can no one die in the battle against the demons? I, Miyamoto Shinzo, no, my Miyamoto family, are willing to die!"
"Okay!"
I smiled after hearing this. This is what I was waiting for him to say.
Miyamoto Shinzo, if he can go to China and integrate the strengths of various families, he will definitely grow into a powerful man in the near future.
Nowadays, all the major sects in China have opened martial arts halls. Except for the top-level secret skills that require a solid foundation and cannot be practiced by ordinary people, the rest of the skills are basically open to the outside world. With Miyamoto Musashi's comprehension, if he is willing to learn, he will definitely be able to surpass his ancestor Miyamoto Musashi in the future.
"But your Excellency..." He glanced at me, then turned his head to look at the dim streets of Tokyo, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
I smiled and said, "I will return to China after I finish dealing with things here. You can go to China and wait for me first."
"I am willing to fight side by side with your Excellency!" Miyamoto Shenzang said.
But I shook my head.
I didn't want to let such a talented person fail here, so I immediately said, "This is my business, not yours, you can leave!"
Miyamoto Shinzo looked at me deeply, then saluted me with Onikiri in hand, then turned around and walked away quickly with firm steps.
Almost at the moment when Miyamoto Shinzo left, I heard the sound of "pa pa pa". I looked and saw four people walking out of the dark alley.
These four people were all wearing black tights, with veils on their faces, carrying ninja swords, and dressed like ninjas. The leader was walking forward and clapping.
"General Zhang is really good at speaking. With just a few words, he convinced the famous Miyamoto Shinzo and even made him willing to go to China to die!"
His voice was very low and hoarse, especially since he only had one eye. There was a scar on the other eye, and his eyes were tightly closed. He should be blind.
After seeing these people, I smiled slightly, then sheathed the Soul-Slaying Sword and started to move forward.
I don't need to know who is in front of me, I just need to kill all the people who block my way, that's all!
So, I didn't say a word.
"General Zhang, aren't you going to use a knife?" The leading man narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
"My knife will not kill nameless ghosts, you... are not worthy!"
After saying that, I disappeared in an instant, and when I reappeared, I was already behind one of them.
