Konoha's Bizarre Adventure

Unlike Musashi and Bobekei, when Miyuki came to the main peak of the "Three Wolf Peak" where Yixin lived, what he saw was a familiar temple.

Yes, a temple, and a very large, majestic temple at that.

The places where Musashi and Shobenkei lived were just log cabins made of rocks and wood, but it was this huge temple that Isshin lived in.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the moonlight poured into the interior from the surrounding windows. Against the backdrop of snowflakes, it was like mirrors sprinkled with broken silver everywhere, shining brightly.

In the deepest part of the temple stands a resplendent Buddha statue, surrounded by a large number of small wooden Buddha statues that are obviously hand-carved.

There are so many small wooden Buddha statues that almost all the space in the temple is occupied by them except for a three-meter-wide walkway.

Frankly speaking, it was the first time for Yuxing to enter here, and when he fought Yixin before, he was only outside the temple, so he didn't know that there would be such a scene inside.

"coming"

When Yu Xing came to the depths of the temple, the old figure standing in front of the huge Buddha statue said without looking back.

Yixin was very old, his body looked very thin, as if he would fly away when blown by the wind.

But even so, the moment he saw Yishin, Yu Xing couldn't help but stop, and the tips of his fingers were trembling slightly.

What's going on? I'm scared.

After realizing this, Yu Xing immediately clenched his fists violently, and a surge of fighting intent immediately blew away the weird atmosphere that permeated the air.

"Do you know what these are?" As if he didn't feel anything strange about Yu Xing at all, Yishin pointed at the small Buddha statues around him and said expressionlessly.

"Are these all Buddha statues carved by you? I guess... they were carved for the people you killed."

After secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Yuxing turned around and looked around at the small Buddha statues around him, but the more he looked, the more numb his scalp felt.

He once heard that some warriors would carve Buddha statues to worship the people they killed, but there must be too many Buddha statues in this temple.

Look carefully, from the ground, to the walls, to the ceiling, there are densely packed small Buddha statues, densely packed, I don't know how many thousands.

The faces of these Buddha statues were all facing the position where Yu Xing was. Although he was staying in Baoxiang's solemn temple at this time, he felt as if he had come to the hell with the wind blowing, and his back was chilling.

"A total of three thousand six hundred and twenty-nine people. This is the number of people I have killed with my own hands in my lifetime...but I may have to add one more today."

At this time, Yixin was talking, and picked up a piece of wood at his feet, and threw it into the air.

Draw your sword and slash. Yuxing could barely see the movement of his sword, only saw a burst of sawdust falling, and a small Buddha statue appeared in Isshin's hand.

"This is yours." After placing the Buddha statue, whose appearance was somewhat similar to that of Goyo, on the altar in front of the big Buddha, Isshin held the "Shuju Maru Tsuneji" and slowly walked towards Goyo. .

Oops...I really want to back away.

With Yu Xing's eyesight, he could naturally see that Yishin's body was extremely weak at this time, but when the old man walked towards him, his first reaction was to retreat.

No, if he retreats, everything will be over... His "heart's ultimate" must be broken from the front.

Immediately, Yu Xing could only withstand the huge pressure and force his body to move forward slowly, while he was constantly thinking about the way to deal with it.

In the past two years, Yu Xing has thoroughly learned the "Extreme Sword Fighting Skills" and the "Extreme Dragon Hammer of Body", but he has only scratched the surface of this elusive "Extreme Heart".

Judging from Yu Xing's understanding after dozens of failures, the "extreme heart" is not a very precise technique or ability, but a state, a mental state that is completely integrated with the nature of heaven and earth.

Whether it's daily walking, sitting, sitting or lying down, or before, during, or after a battle, Yixin seems to maintain this state all the time, which makes him reach a state of transcendence and holiness.

The heaven and the earth are like me, integrated into one body. When Yixing walked towards Yuxing, his body seemed to be integrated with the big Buddha behind him, seamlessly fitting together, without any flaws at all.

If I guess correctly, the core of entering this state is..."breathing".

After taking a deep breath, Yuxing walked slowly towards Yixin while adjusting his breathing.

One exhale and one inhale are inevitable physiological activities for humans, and they are also the "metronome" of movements.

A skilled samurai can judge the opponent's movements by observing his opponent's breathing. Of course, Yu Xing has also reached this level. In other words, as long as he is aware of the existence of this "metronome", he can respond to the enemy's movements. reaction.

However, if the other person's breathing has no rhythm at all, it's like... blending in with nature.

After so many battles with Yishin, Yu Xing has also realized this, that is, the old man's breathing is almost silent, and he can't even feel that he is breathing at all... like a dead man.

This is the difference between living creatures and nature to a large extent. As long as human beings stop breathing and become dead, they have actually become a part of nature.

But Yixin is not dead, he has become a part of nature in a living state, so he is completely unaware of his movements.

Escape into darkness and become light.When Yuxing walked forward in the dark corridor, his figure seemed to merge with the surrounding night, and his breathing gradually became almost disappearing.

"Natural breathing method", Yu Xing didn't know the name of "the ultimate heart", so he called this similar state like this.

Ever since, in this dim temple, the two figures slowly approached each other.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters...the distance between the two sides kept getting closer, but no one made any other movements, just walked towards each other at an extremely slow speed.

But in the next second, a bright knife light cut across the icy night, and slashed directly at Yu Xing's neck.

This sword has no advance, as if it flew out of thin air, and its speed and angle are impeccable. If it hits the target, it will definitely dismember the enemy's head.

No, there was no killing intention. Although Yishin did make a move to kill Yu Xing, there was no aura emanating from him.

Although he was beheading people, this scene looked like he was chopping firewood, without any emotional fluctuations. This is also the scariest thing about this man.

However, such a strange knife did not hit the target.

The moment before the blade slashed across, Yu Xing's body moved sideways for a distance as light as a feather, and then avoided this seemingly calm but actually fatal blow with a slight margin.

"You escaped...little devil."

After the sword failed, Yi Xin said expressionlessly, but at the same time as he blurted out the last ghost word, several slashes had already appeared on Yu Xing's body.

There was no warning, even with my "white eyes", I couldn't see how he made a move at all, and every blow was exactly on the "beat" I was preparing to fight back, making it impossible for me to fight back.

Because he has fought with Yishin for more than twenty times, Yu Xing has long been accustomed to this kind of traceless slashing, but getting used to it is one thing, and whether he can handle it is another matter.

In the dark temple, the last light had been extinguished by the wind of the knife just now, but this dark environment had no effect on the old man who was swinging the knife at all.

Collar, chest, wrist... As Isshin's sword became more and more violent when attacking, Yu Xing's body also had more and more scars. It was obvious that he could not completely dodge these attacks, and There was no way to fight back.

After seeing the blood, the old man's pupils gradually turned crimson, as if he had returned to the all-powerful warrior world back then.

And in that world, people called him... "The Killer Ghost".
