The Incredible Swordsman

CHAPTER 21-FIGHT THE MASTERMIND (PART 1)

At the beginning, 3 of 6 of them attacked him first from the front. The 3 of them attacked with thrusting toward him, with one on the left, one on the right, and the other one at center. Certainly, Hitokiri-Kenshi saw it coming, then he quickly spinning backward his body in the mid-air to stretch a distance between him and them, and quickly blowing the Qi-energy with his sword to strike at those 3 persons with diagonal uppercut when he just landed on the ground. Of course, the 3 of them quickly split away by jumping into mid-air. He saw a chance that he might flee away, so he quickly turned over his body trying to jump and running away. However, the other 3 of his opponents already quickly jump in to join the battle and each of them is already blowing the Qi-energy from their weapon to Hitokiri-Kenshi direction. Certainly, it's not hard for him to evade those strikes from those 3 opponents since he mastered the Mukeifūken-ryū (like mentioned before, so his speed and agility have increased), so it was easy for him. Then when he got a chance, he quickly drew Mukeifūken-ryū level 3 “Kento-Sanshū / Jiàntú-Sānqiū (SwordSlaughter-ThreeAutumns)” to blow those 3 opponents that came from the second group. Even they’re block it, but still they’re blown a few meters away by the pressure of the explosion of that strike.

Ryohyō: “Ah ha… That’s the level 3 of Mukeifūken-ryū… I knew it, this kiddo… Still want to lie, Bwahahaha…”

After fought equal for some time, they’re also release a few times of Mukeifūken-ryū on each other, since not only Hitokiri-Kenshi can use it but those 6 pugilists, all of them can also use it even until level 5 but still, all of them together with level 5 Mukeifūken-ryū is already hard to defeat. And not to mention that he was surrounded by these 6 pugilists whose skills were above Chinhō's 4 bodyguards as these guys were in the top 10. But why did they only learn until level 5? It's because Ryohyō only lets them learn until level 5 and they don’t dare to complain to Ryohyō. So, of course these 6 people are also the culprits that annihilated Unkensō and Chōbun. But for Ryohyō, he was not easy either after he learned the rest of the Mukeifūken-ryū which is the fake version. Now strange symptoms started to appear inside his body. Everytime Ryohyō used the Mukeifūken-ryū above the level 5, he would often vomit the blood and his blood circulation was flowing messy inside his body. Basically, when one pugilist learns a fake or wrong martial-arts, it will cause their body to be broken from inside. Light effect will become lunatic and worse effect, will cause death. Ryohyō can feel something wrong with his body, but he still doesn’t know what went wrong until that day he killed Chōbun. When Ryohyō and Chōbun fought each other using Mukeifūken-ryū, Ryohyō was so surprised. Because he knew that the book has only 1 in the world and that is in his hand right now. So how come Chōbun knew how to use it? He thought. That’s why he expected the book that he got from their shishō, Seimei-Sōshu, must be fake. The original one is with Chōbun. However, after Chōbun died, he still can’t find the original book. Now another miracle had happened in which he knew there is another person who also knew the Mukeifūken-ryū, and that is Hitokiri-Kenshi. So no matter what Ryohyō won’t let Hitokiri-Kenshi run away from his hand this time, until he can get the real book. Ryohyō wants to compare the book with the one that he had. Actually Ryohyō not only mastered the fake Mukeifūken-ryū but also from year to year, he already learned so many formidable martial-arts besides Mukeifūken-ryū. Ryohyō thought that learning other martial-arts may help him to press down the side-effect after learning (the fake) Mukeifūken-ryū. Not only that, he mastered the other martial-arts, so Ryohyō doesn’t need to use Mukeifūken-ryū so frequently and he can also prevent his body from getting worse. That’s why his accomplices did not dare to confront him since Ryohyō not only mastered the Mukeifūken-ryū (the fake) but also learned so many other martial-arts. Now Ryohyō can be said he is the number one in the top 10 of formidable pugilists in the pugilist world.
