ancient and modern first thief

Chapter 357 Master Demeanor
Hanbei Takenaka was a little unsteady when he received the battle report from the front line, so he pulled himself together and asked, "How many reserves do we have?"

The lieutenant replied with a puzzled face: "There is only one guard guarding the City Lord's Mansion left, and the rest have been transferred to other battlefields!"

"Send me the first line of defense. Be sure to stick to it for a day." After the order, his heart was bleeding. These are the backbone of the ancient city. Even if one person is lost, he feels at a loss.

It was still dark the next day, but the enemy troops were pressing in across the board. No matter how powerful they were, they couldn't take care of a defense line that was several miles long.

Just when the enemy rushed to the position, a small team rushed into the battlefield.It took less than 2 minutes to call them back.

Miyamoto Musashi personally led the guards to chase down the remnants...

After two days of running wildly, Ji Xiaoliu was not far from the main rudder of Wuji Kendo Sect, and the surrounding defenses were also extremely lax, as if it would not be attacked here.

Ji Xiaoliu was worried that they were setting him a trap, so he sneaked into the city carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it. He muttered, "Do they really think I'm incapable of taking this place?"

It doesn't help to think too much, you can only keep your own mind.

After wandering around the city for nearly two hours, I finally came to the city lord's mansion.The surrounding guards were completely different from the outside. Not only were all of them full of energy, but their temples were also slightly bulging, which looked like stubble.

Searching around carefully, he put his mind at ease and used his stealth to the extreme, carefully entering through the weakest guard.

It was too big inside, so I searched many places but couldn't find the room where the leader was. In the end, I had to arrest a servant without any martial arts skills to extract a confession.

"So you are also afraid of death! This is just a cover-up. He is really hiding in the small martial arts gym in the west of the city!" After receiving useful information, Ji Xiaoliu did not kill her, but knocked Qi unconscious.

Appeared outside smoothly, found the right direction and rushed there quickly...

At this time, there were less than 2 people left on the first line of defense, which could not stop the enemy's crazy attack. Fortunately, Oguchi Daito and Miyamoto Musashi were brave enough to kill more than [-] enemy sergeants. As a result, the enemy had no command to hold the line of defense.

The tired-looking general suddenly said: "We have held on for two and a half days. If we continue to resist like this, everyone will die here!"

"General Kinoshita, I have never thought about what you said. However, since we have promised the city lord to stick to it for three days, even if the last soldier dies in the battle, we will not be able to retreat." Although Yoshikawa Kenichi did not give a clear order, his tone was It's a little heavy, and those generals who want to retreat can only choke back.

Miyamoto Musashi had a cold face, glanced at those people with unfriendly eyes, and shouted: "For everyone to live a good life, the city lord always rushes to the top in every battle. I want to ask you, are you worthy of doing this?" Is he worthy of the wives, children, and children in the city?"

His question left everyone speechless, and many of them bowed their heads in shame.

The retreating enemy has not yet been fully repaired, and the whole line is pressed again.

"Brothers, it seems that we are going to go on the road together today! If you are not afraid of death, follow me!" Xiaokou Dadou led a group of people into the distance.

Yoshikawa Kenichi hasn't charged much recently, but now he is following behind him, and the rest of them can only bite the bullet even if they are reluctant.

The enemies who came to attack were also stunned by the shocking shouts of killing. At this time, they were clearly charging, so why did the enemy give up the natural danger?

Many sergeants were worried that they were cheating, and their charge slowed down unconsciously.

The "suspicious" tactic of small mouths and big fights was used just right, not only reducing the casualties for one's own people, but also maximizing the breakdown of the enemy's psychological defenses.

As soon as the two groups came into contact, the enemy was slaughtered like wheat. The enemy general did not react until nearly one-fifth of them were killed.

"Retreat, retreat!" Someone yelled, and the enemy fled back to their side.

The people in the ancient city didn't chase after them, and hurried back to the position to study the follow-up defense plan...

Ji Xiaoliu had arrived outside the martial arts hall at this time and found that there were no guards around. He quickly found the two best retreat routes around and walked in swaggeringly.

Come to the central location, where there is a huge martial arts arena.At the very edge, sat a man with his back turned to him.Turning around slowly, he said, "You're still here!"

"The Promise Sword Master - Master Yi! What's the meaning of this?" Ji Xiaoliu couldn't find a trace of negative aura in him, but a peaceful and sacred aura surrounded him.

Master Yi stood up, sighed and said: "We have been living in the pursuit of fame and fortune, completely ignoring the state of mind that a warrior should have. If Yasuo hadn't been killed, I wouldn't have realized this at all. I'm here to wait for you today. , I just want to settle the grievances between us with you."

The enemy was so magnanimous, Ji Xiaoliu couldn't say anything, the two swords appeared in his hands, and he shouted: "Come on! Let's fight to the death!"

Master Yi didn't move, and suddenly disappeared when the air around him changed.

Ji Xiaoliu was so frightened that when she put on the ice shield, her swords were still dancing airtightly.

when!He was hit in the back, but found no cracks in the ice shield.

"Why let me go?" Ji Xiaoliu couldn't help asking after thinking of several possibilities.

Master Yi was moving at a high altitude at this time, and replied: "You are the hope of the mainland, I don't want to kill you like this. Next, be careful!"

There are solid shadows all around, and if Ji Xiaoliu can't tell which one is his real body, even if Ji Xiaoliu uses ghost steps, he is likely to be killed instantly.

He quickly calmed himself down, his perception spread instantly, and he found that the surroundings were all phantoms, and his body had long since disappeared.

The Yuchang Ancient Sword surrounded him, and a third line of defense composed of sword energy appeared, and blood-red light gradually glowed on the Endless Blade.Seeing that he was about to finish charging, Master Yi suddenly shouted: "Alpha raid!"

Ji Xiaoliu suddenly felt the breath around him change, and quickly used ghost steps to save the attack, but the Infinity Blade precisely penetrated into the opponent's body.

"Master, why don't you hide?" He really couldn't figure it out. Although the attack just now could create some trouble for him, it was impossible for the other party to avoid it. The only explanation was: he was willing to accept this sword!
With a faint smile on the corner of Master Yi's mouth, he said: "If the people want to live a good life, our sects have to be destroyed. Before you came, I had already cut my belly, and death is only a matter of time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he could no longer stand still and slowly sat on the ground, with a relieved smile on his face.

Ji Xiaoliu didn't dare to come forward and disturb him. After nearly ten seconds, he still didn't speak. He quickly took a breath and found that he was already dead.

"This is the true master. For the sake of the world, he would rather give up his own life and the foundation he has built over the years to fulfill an outsider like me." He bowed as he spoke.

He wanted to stay a little longer, but someone heard from outside: "Master Yi was killed, Master Yi was killed!..."

Ji Xiaoliu was frightened before. After thinking about it carefully, he muttered in admiration: "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey! Master, on behalf of the soldiers and people of the ancient city, I thank you for your righteousness!"
