The Incredible Swordsman

CHAPTER 25-THE NEW SWORD

His son also doubted himself that he ever can make a good sword again like his father since he’s already quit to become a blacksmith after his father gone. Towa was a little disappointed but still, there is nothing he can do now. Then before he walks away, suddenly the blacksmith’s son told him to wait.

Blacksmith’s son: “Wait…!!! Maybe I have something for you…”

Towa: “Huh?? What is… that mean???”

Then he goes inside his hut and not long after he comes out with a long box in his both hands.

Towa: ”This… could it be…”

Blacksmith son: “Yes, a sword that was made by my father. I guess this is his last legacy…”

Towa: “But… are you giving this to me??”

Blacksmith son: “I’m not a pugilist or martial-arts, so I have no use for this as well… better to give it to someone that needed it most…”

Towa: “But… this is the last memorial of him… You sure??”

Blacksmith son: “No worries… My father told me when he made this sword. He said that if he didn’t come back from Ryohyō’s place, then something might happen to him. That’s why he made this special sword, using the best material that he ever got and forged this one out...”

Towa: “I see…”

Blacksmith son: “He said if someday someone comes looking for him… Then the one must have fate with this sword. Until that day, give the sword to that person… He hopes the person can use it to serve the upright and justice, and bring down evil people like, Ryohyō…”

Certainly, after hearing those words, Towa realized this is his fate and destiny with this sword. He must use this sword to end his battle with Ryohyō, once and for all. He even asks the blacksmith's son if the sword has a name. Of course, the blacksmith's son told him since this sword is still new and no one ever uses it, so the blacksmith's son let him give a name to that sword. After thinking for a while, Towa gave the sword name as “Fūshō-Ken / Fēngxiáng-Jiàn (WindAscend-Sword)”. Then after thanking the blacksmith's son and farewell, Towa walks away. Later on, after preparing for everything, he's going to see Ryohyō, to end it. He killed some of the Ryohyō disciples but left one of them alive and wounded badly, by bringing the letter back to Ryohyō. After Ryohyō read that letter, he was shocked that the one that he killed was not actually dead, but eventually rose from the dead. Ryohyō was really shocked but he was not eventually afraid as he thought even Towa can come back alive, but still Ryohyō already severed his meridians. So what can Towa do for revenge? As Ryohyō thought, no matter what Towa is trying to do, the result will end up the same. The letter mentioned that Towa invited Ryohyō for a final duel 3 days from now at the same location when he was ambushed by Ryohyō which is the former location of Unkensō. Ryohyō accepted the invitation. 3 days later, Ryohyō finally came and Towa was already waiting for him since last night. And certainly, Ryohyō was not alone. Those 6 formidable pugilists from before, also hiding somewhere around the location and waiting for Ryohyō signal. Once the signal is on, then they will ambush together at Towa with the beast claws and finish him this time.

Ryohyō: “Huh, you’re so very lucky… After I ruined your body and threw you off the cliff, you still can survive…”

Towa: ”Let's say, God still wants me to live, so I can take you down…”

Ryohyō: “Bwahahaha…. So funny. Even if you make it out alive, but you think with your current condition, you still can fight me??”

Towa: “Nobody knows unless we try, right??”

Ryohyō: “Try for something foolish, it’s not worthy, young man… God gives you another chance to live… But you insist on doing this… I wonder whether you still have that luck or not this time…”

However, Towa already noticed those 6 pugilists' presence and asked them to come out, to let them strike him together.

Towa: “Let’s see about that… And, for your friends… Why don’t you let all of them out… It’s better for me to take down all of them rather than fight them one by one, just wasting my time…”
