The Incredible Swordsman

CHAPTER 27-THE END OF REVENGE

In fact, the one that Towa learned was the true original of Mukeifūken-ryū. However, Ryohyō still doesn't want to surrender to his fate as he still doesn’t want to admit it. He doesn't want to believe that the book that he got wasn’t the original one. He is still trying to lie to himself even though he knew that he might lose everything after this battle. So, he risks everything that he has just for the last strike.

Ryohyō: “Now… Let’s see which one of us mastered the real level 9 of Mukeifūken-ryū, hyaahhh…”

Without talking anymore, Ryohyō quickly turned over his body to face Towa’s direction and immediately released the level 9 of Mukeifūken-ryū that he still denied of what he learned was the fake one. Maybe this is the desperation of someone when he’s going to lose everything. Certainly, Towa doesn't want to lose either and quickly using the real level 9 of Mukeifūken-ryū, “Kutsurugi-Kiichi / Jiǔjiàn-Guīyī (NineSwords-ReturnedAsOne)”. In just a short moment, the level 9 that came from Ryohyō couldn't match with the real original level 9 from Towa. One by one, the shadows that were created from the level 9 of Towa, hit on Ryohyō’s body one after another. And for the last strike, a big astral sword s***h coming from the sky and hit Ryohyō until passing through to the ground then caused a big explosion around Ryohyō. Still not stopping from there, the astral swords still flew over Ryohyō's body with a crescent shape and hit the wall behind Ryohyō which was a few meters away from him. After that, Ryohyō fell to his knees on the ground without moving at all but still breathing. The blood is not just coming from his mouth but also coming out from his forehead. Ryohyō knows this is his last day on earth, as he’s not only wounded badly by the blow from Towa, but also the side-effect from learning the fake Mukeifūken-ryū, his body can’t hold it anymore. He's just waiting for the angel of death to come to bring his soul away. Towa realized the battle between him and Ryohyō had finally ended after he saw the fire in Ryohyō’s eyes had already faded away. Just like a man without a soul. Then he turned his body away from Ryohyō and started to walk away from him slowly by slowly. However, the fighting spirit inside Ryohyō’s body was not faded yet, so with his final breath, he forces himself to get up and do all his best by thrusting toward at towa but certainly, towa already notices it so he quickly turn over his body by facing back at Ryohyō, and release one last time of Mukeifūken-ryū level one sword-skill, “Ikken-Fūkon / Yījiàn-Fēnghún (OneSword-SealedSoul)”, by slashing over through Ryohyō’s neck. Now they both position facing back to back at each other and none of them are moving yet. Later on, Ryohyō’s blade started to fall from his hand and his body slowly fell to the ground as well with his throat cutting open. With this Ryohyō finally breathed his last and left. Now the battle has really ended. Towa left the crime scene and left all his enemies' bodies there without being noticed by anybody else. Since then, Ryohyō’s empire is gone. His sect and his remaining disciples also dismissed slowly by slowly, as no one was powerful enough to take over the reign of Ryohyō. And for Towa, he abandons his past including his golden age when he once was the famous and fearless Hitokiri-Kenshi. After finding some remaining ex-disciples of Unkensō, he started together with them to re-build the sect. Even though it takes time, they build it slowly. No matter what, Unkensō was already gone for quite a long time ago, so to build it again back to its golden age, it’s not easy for them. There are so many things to do. After the sect quite settles down, Towa decides to leave even though they're not allowed to. They even requested Towa to be the sect leader but he refused. However, they kept pushing him because if not him then who? No one is more deserving than him, they said. After that, he has no choice but to agree. However, he said he needs to go for his new journey to find his identity. So for now, the sect was in charge by someone else who was appointed to be the “directing-sect leader” during the absence of Towa. Now he became a wandering swordsman by travelling around the world that helped the weak and eradicated the evil people.
