Chapter 125 Someone else
pat.
With a thud, in the dim light, a slender, white-haired young man dressed in ninja attire and wearing a neck brace that partially covered his face could be seen kneeling in the courtyard.
"Brother Taiyi, what is this...?"
This outfit...
Taichi stretched out his hand again, signaling to Sōchi not to panic. He slowly tilted his head back, squinted his eyes, and said in a calm tone:
"Galan's Eyebrow-Painting Pills?"
"Yamada Asaemon Taichi?"
When asked the same question, Huameiwan was stunned for a moment, while Taiyi grinned and laughed heartily, glancing at the hourglass out of the corner of his eye.
Then he abruptly straightened his head, draped one arm over the coffee table, leaned forward, and grinned maliciously:
"You've come here... to take my head?"
At this moment, Huameiwan had already stood up, her eyes devoid of any emotion. She tilted her head, one hand slowly moving to her lower back, and said calmly:
"That kind of thing doesn't matter, as long as you're dead... that's enough!!!"
Whoosh!
【Ninja Technique: Thousand Needles】
A bundle of a hundred thin steel needles, each about the length of a little finger, was instantly thrown out by Huameiwan, heading straight for Taiichi and Sakichi.
The flying needles, which flew from the courtyard into the main house, through the darkness and into the light, and gradually dispersed, resembled stars in the summer night sky in Taiyi's eyes, each point of light carrying a deadly threat.
"A Thousand Needles, why don't you call it a Rain of Pear Blossom Needles!"
Bang!
With a slap on the tea table, Taiyi advanced instead of retreating. The moment he leaped out, he pushed the bottom of the sword hilt with his left hand, causing the hilt of Futsu no Mitama to suddenly move to his right hand.
The instant he gripped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, Sakiri beside him swiftly pulled out the scabbard, allowing Taiichi to draw the sword smoothly.
【Four Qi Governing the Divine - Fire - Burning Heaven Wheel】
From the moment the sword is drawn from its sheath, every inch it is pulled out is enveloped in flames.
Once all the swords were drawn, an arc of burning flames, carrying an aura of incineration, melted all the steel needles that were about to hit it, and then continued to sweep towards Huameiwan.
Hmm? Is it the same flame as a fire mage's?
Huameiwan's pupils contracted, and two bright beams of light were reflected in her dark pupils.
Just before he made contact with the sword energy, he leaped high into the air, tore off his mask, and unleashed a burst of flame from his mouth at Taiyi, who was closely following behind the sword energy.
[Ninja Technique·Fire Bridge]
"Little Marco... a ninja, dares to show off his skills before an expert!"
【Four Qi Governing the Divine - Metal - Piercing the Rainbow】
Taiyi's gaze was resolute. Instantly, white Gengjin sword energy covered the sword. Although there was no contact, the sword energy, like a laser beam, split the flame in two and went straight for Huameiwan's head.
"not good!"
In a flash, Huameiwan instinctively tilted her head, but she was still a step too slow.
A white sword aura severed the white hair, leaving a bloody mark on his face.
Upon landing again, he exerted force with both legs, kicking up large swaths of white sand beneath his feet, while his entire body moved like a ghost, constantly shifting left and right as he approached Taiyi.
As the opponent drew closer, Huameiwan's tension increased.
"As expected of the world's number one, he can actually use sword energy that separates from the body!"
"I'm no match for him in ranged attacks, so let's switch to melee!"
What makes Hakumaru the strongest is not his throwing ninjutsu, but his close-combat ability.
Having mastered the body-refining techniques of Shiyin Village to their highest level and successfully broken through to new heights, he can be described as invulnerable to blades and spears, a true invincible warrior!
He could break a tree as thick as two people, and he could punch through a stone wall half a meter thick.
Once you get close, you can use your agile movements and lightning-fast punches.
He believed that no one could survive such an attack from him!
"With such a tall stature, his agility must not be as good as mine!"
"Yamada Asaemon Taichi, I'm taking your head!"
In an instant, the image of his wife, Ajie, appeared in his mind, as if after this mission, the two of them would live a simple life in seclusion in the countryside.
"Die to me!"
He ducked to dodge Taiyi's horizontal sword strike, then aimed a punch at the opponent's dantian and delivered a powerful blow.
[Warning: Your condition has not yet reached its peak. Forcing yourself into battle will cause physical damage.]
Seeing the fist about to strike his abdomen, Taiyi remained calm and ignored the system's warning, instantly forming the "Lin" seal with his left hand.
He immediately concentrated all his inner energy in his lower abdomen, straightened his back and assumed a horse stance, and took the punch head-on.
Bang!
scold......
Taiyi plowed two furrows into the white sand with his feet. Although he was pushed to the back, he was completely unharmed.
Because the opponent's punch didn't even touch his skin; it was blocked by the protective aura formed by the outward release of his true energy.
Although he was not injured, his protective energy had dissipated completely due to the two opposing forces canceling each other out.
"The body-refining techniques of Shiyin Village are indeed exquisite; they can actually train your body to this extent."
Taiyi exclaimed in sincere admiration.
My next step is to refine my physical body by gathering the five elements and refining my form with the sun. If I can obtain the body-refining techniques from Shiyin Village, then the cultivation methods generated by the system will greatly improve my abilities!
We must get our hands on it!
It would be a waste to give this stuff to other people to refine!
Taking advantage of the pause in the attack, Taiichi carefully examined Huameimaru and also activated the system to check the opponent's data.
【Name: Huameiwan】
【Age: 16】
[Lifespan: 51]
[Essence: 329.4]
[Qi and Blood: 461.2]
[Soul: 4.8]
"Another set of abnormal data? It seems to be due to the cultivation technique as well."
Taiyi narrowed his eyes, pondering to himself.
The data for Huamei Wan is similar to that of Lu Taro. Although his blood and qi values are slightly lower, his essence is much higher, which is probably due to the cultivation technique.
Otherwise, if someone like Lu Taro relies entirely on their own development, their lifespan and vital essence will certainly be very limited.
This data also proves that he is really resilient.
In the original work, Lu Taro could shatter Wei Shan, the number one ranked swordsman of the Shiichi-ryu style, with a single slap, but when he slapped Hua Mei Wan, he made Wei Shan vomit blood, which shows how tough Hua Mei Wan's body is.
At the same time, if the spirit and soul level is not above 5, the trajectory of qi cannot be observed.
However, the reason why one can see the effects of their own moves is because their own energy has been condensed so thoroughly that it can influence reality.
"In the original story, characters like Huameiwan were able to quickly comprehend Qi and grow rapidly. If I were to implant a fake Qi core in them..."
Thinking of this, Taiyi grinned, revealing a sinister smile. Then, his true energy surged again, and he charged forward with his sword once more.
"I'll beat you into submission first, then implant a fake Qi pill in you. That should help me hold out until the cooldown period ends."
I turned my head slightly and caught a glimpse of the hourglass running out of the corner of my eye, which meant that my body would soon be fully adjusted.
The reason for this idea is that after Taiichi met Huameimaru, even though he still had the upper hand after two moves, his impulsive feeling did not change.
In other words, even if the eyebrow-drawing pill poses no threat to him, he is still in danger.
So... tonight's opponent is actually someone else!
