The Incredible Swordsman

CHAPTER 11-THE FIRST TARGET ENDED

The Mukeifūken-ryū was not only strong formidable sword skill but also very unique. The unique thing about Mukeifūken-ryū is that all of the techniques obviously have his own fixed-pattern but for the finishing blow or how to strike, it still depends on how the user wields it. So, the techniques are not stiff on one pattern or so on. To bring the techniques to maximum power it’s depending how the user improvise it. With that strikes, all of the Shinyū disciples are blown away and fall to the ground and die. Shinyū is surprised when he sees that skill, it reminds him of Mukeifūken-ryū but he’s not sure about it because he never saw level seven of Mukeifūken-ryū. Even Ryohyō only learned it to level five as it was the original part, but for the remaining of the level, it’s all fake. So, above the level five that Ryohyō learned from the book was all fake but still Ryohyō didn't master it as well until level nine. Neither Ryohyō or Hitokiri-Kenshi, both of them only learned until level eight. It can be said, the level seven that Ryohyō learned will be completely different from Hitokiri-Kenshi level seven even though it is still a little similar.

Shinyū: “Is that… from Mukeifūken-ryū???”

Hitokiri-Kenshi: “You don't need to know as this is your last day…”

Shinyū: “Who… are you exactly??”

Hitokiri-Kenshi: “Die…!!!”

Then Shinyū knew something was not right, so he tried to run away. He hopes he can reach Ryohyō so he can tell if someone might also learn Mugen-Keisho as well. However, Hitokiri-Kenshi won't let him run away from here alive. So he tried to outrun Shinyū by jumping away faster with his Qi-energy, just like he was flying in the air. In one moment, he was already in position side by side with Shinyū. Then he strikes his Qi-energy blow from his sword to Shinyū's direction to prevent him from running anymore. Certainly, when Shinyū saw it coming, he definitely paused his movement and slid backward. When Shinyū just stood on his feet, Hitokiri-Kenshi already stood in front of him then quickly release “Kento-Sanshū / Jiàntú-Sānqiū (SwordSlaughter-ThreeAutumns)”, by creating 3 shadows at the same time then 4 of them (including the real user) rushing toward the enemy by keep changing position from the real user and those shadows to confuse the enemy. When it gets near enough to the enemy, those 3 shadows will eventually disappear like smoke whether the enemy strikes the shadows or not, then the real user will come from behind and stab his enemy on the chest after his shadows are gone. With this skill, certainly Shinyū can’t block that sword skill and meet his doom. The Hitokiri-Kenshi sword finally stabs through Shinyū's chest to his back.

Shinyū: “You… where you… learn this… Mukei… fūken-ryū???” (with blood come out from his mouth),

Hitokiri-Kenshi: “From my Shishō, Chōbun…”

Shinyū: “What??? So… you’re… Chōbun…”

Not yet finished with his words, Shinyū fell down to the ground and died. In just one night, all Shinyū disciples are slaughtered to end. No one was left alive. The local government was also shocked and surprised by what happened. Then they gave the information to Ryohyō. A few months later, Hitokiri-Kenshi received another job again. This time was also similar as the target was Ryohyō comrades as well. However, this time the target was 2 persons, as they were siblings. They both didn’t own any sect but eventually they owned an escort agency business. They are “Kyokō (Xǔ-Kāng)” and “Kyoshō (Xǔ-Zhāo)”. Kyokō was the older brother and Kyoshō was the younger one. However, these 2 people might not be as bad as Shinyū but still they were doing a lot of bad things in the past as what Ryohyō asked them to do. They’re even eliminating other strong escort agencies which are considered a threat to them as they wanted their escort agency to be the only one the best in the mainland. It was just at that time, their agency was in trouble and in deep debt. Later Ryohyō came to them and through the Ryohyō connection then the debts can be paid. So they owed so much to Ryohyō and when Ryohyō asked them to join forces to fight Unkensō, they agreed to help without any conditions. But if they’re not agreed, then they have to return all the money back to the Ryohyō connection. At that time, they had no choice but to join. They’re not pure innocent, as Kyokō also pursues Mugen-Keisho for himself so he can learn all the martial-arts from the book to strengthen his agency. In the pugilist world, only money and power can help them to survive. After Unkensō is gone, Kyokō has no chance to learn from that book as Ryohyō didn’t allow it. This is something that he still holds the grudge against Ryohyō but nothing that he can do. No matter what, they’re still Hitokiri-Kenshi's enemies and he won't let them live. If somebody paid him to kill, then he would do it without question.
