Li Mo couldn't see the flow of elements in the Abyss Mage's shield, but he understood that if this kind of shield-type skill had a flaw and was broken, the shield would be broken.
Focus on one thing and reach the pinnacle.
"Secret Sword: Return of the Swallow"!
The knife is unsheathed.
Arcs of light appeared in the rain. Was it one? No, three.
Three tracks appeared in the rain in the air at the same time. They were the veins left by the Japanese sword in the air. And each blade light finally slid across the shield, cutting the same straight line and the same place.
The peak strength of human beings, the extremely sharp Tenmoku Kage Katana, and the ultimate swordsmanship that compresses space.
Immediately, a crack appeared on the Abyss Mage's shield. Then in an instant, the crack spread like a spider web.
Shield broken!
In an instant, the Abyss Mage was hit back and fell into a coma.
A sharp blade flashed, and the Abyss Mage's head flew up. The health bar above its head was emptied in an instant.
In the rain, Teshima looked at the young man who had landed on the ground, as if he had seen the highest level of swordsmanship.
In the rain, a figure looked over here and witnessed everything.
Chapter 89: Follow-up
"Inazuma nowadays should not welcome foreigners. But as the people of Inazuma, we do not object to visits from foreigners."
Teshima, who had just been fighting alongside him, spoke up.
Li Mo sat opposite him.
The two of them were sitting in Teshima's house. The decoration inside the house was very simple, and there was nothing unnecessary to see.
"Uncle Teshima, how did you know that?" Li Mo asked.
After this battle, the two became closer, and Li Mo's "reputation" in Gantian Village also rose a lot.
Teshima said: "The swordsmanship you used earlier does not look like Inazuma's swordsmanship... Inazuma's swordsmanship can be traced back to the naginata technique passed down by the general. So I guessed that you might be a foreigner.
Of course, it's just speculation. There are always geniuses in the world."
"Uncle Teshima, can you even see this?"
"Your swordsmanship is too obvious. Almost all warriors aim for the neck. Even though it is a gap between the armor and is very weak, few people will go straight for it.
Secondly, your behavior is different from that of the Inazuma people, or the vast majority of Inazuma people,” Teshima commented.
Li Mo fell into a brief silence. Ordinary warriors have many weaknesses that can be attacked. Apart from the neck, the head, heart, spleen and stomach can all become fatal weaknesses.
But ghosts are not like that.
Li Mo's swordsmanship was inherited from Yuichi Tsugikoku, and was honed from killing demons. It was certainly not the same as Inazuma's swordsmanship.
"However, your last move reminded me of a move."
"Hmm? What moves?"
"'Tengu Sho'!" Teshima said, "That is the supreme swordsmanship of the 'Iwakura Style' of Inazuma Castle. It is a legendary secret sword that can defeat the Tengu flying freely in the sky. The core of it is speed, and only absolute speed can suppress the lightning-fast Tengu."
Li Mo fell silent again.
Ordinary swordsmen cannot see that the core of "Secret Sword: Swallow Return" is not speed, but space compression. If you think about it carefully, it is outrageous. What kind of swallow would use Yasuo's space skills?
Now there is one more answer. Maybe the target is not the swallow, but the tengu?
Throwing away the random thoughts in his mind, Li Mo asked: "I can clearly say that the one I used at the end was not the so-called "Tenguchao", but its name was "Yanfan". "
"Is that so? Come to think of it, the last time I saw Tengusho was decades ago. When I saw you use this move, I really thought I saw that sword technique again." Teshima said.
Then, Teshima told Li Mo the story of "Iwazo-ryu". This school has a long history and is closely related to the head of the Tenryo-buyo Kujo family.
The swordsmanship passed down from generation to generation in the Kujo family is now inextricably linked to the "Iwanzo-ryu".
"The child of the Shibato family is here to see you. Let's stop here. I won't see you off." Teshima said, "Secondly, if you want to enter Inazuma Castle, try not to use the identity of a foreigner."
"But my swordsmanship."
"Most people can't tell." Teshima said, "As an old man, the only thing I'm good at is my eyesight. In Inazuma, there are no more than ten people who can tell that your swordsmanship is unique. Secondly, even if someone asks you, you can say that this is your own original swordsmanship."
Li Mo said, "Is this feasible?"
"There is no shortage of geniuses in this world. After so many years of development, Inazuma's swordsmanship is already very different from the naginata taught by the general. If it weren't for your answer, I wouldn't be so sure. Next time, just disguise yourself better."
"Thank you."
Li Mo left Teshima's house.
This uncle Teshima really has a good eye. He can see through the difference between his swordsmanship and Inazuma's swordsmanship. Come to think of it, he is a master swordsman with a divine eye after all.
Thinking about what Teshima-san said earlier, half of it was exposed by me. My vigilance has dropped a lot.
——Yes, the atmosphere in Konda Village is really good.
Then he met Ichiro Shibamon.
"The people from Tianling Fengxing have already left. Mr. Li."
"Aren't they going to ask me about it?"
Some time after the battle, the Tianling Fengxing people came over. The rest of the game was left to them. Even if there was some conspiracy behind the Abyss Mage, it should be handled by such an official organization. On the contrary, it would be better for me, a foreigner, to hide for a while.
"Mr. Yasuda in the village is a retired Tenryo Bugyo. Everything will be easy if he comes forward. Secondly, everyone in the Tenryo Bugyo knows about the existence of Uncle Teshima. He is a big shot who has the God's Eye." When Ichiro Shibamon talked about the God's Eye, his whole body was shining.
"Eye of God?" Li Mo whispered.
When I was playing the game, I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, every character I controlled had the God's Eye. Many people I met also had the God's Eye. But in fact, the "God's Eye" is absolutely rare.
Samurai who possess the "Eye of God" can easily join the magistrate and become managers directly if they wish.
"Ichiro, do you want to join the Tenryo Bugyo?"
When the topic shifted to Tenryo Bugyo, Shibamon Ichiro said that he might join the Tenryo Bugyo.
This made Li Mo feel very strange.
——Isn’t it strange that you, a former Kairanki, are appointed as the local magistrate?
Li Mo couldn't understand.
Shibamon Ichiro said, "Sir, it is not difficult to enter the Tenryo Bugyo. As long as you are not a wanted samurai, even if you are a wandering samurai, you can enter through the connection.
I am not on a wanted warrant.”
Li Mo nodded and said, "Then why do you want to join Tianling Fengxing?"
He didn't ask Shibamon what connections he had. The old man Yasuda whom he had met after the battle was a retired Tenryo Bugyo. The kid from the Imaya family next door was also a Tenryo Bugyo. Everyone in the world helped each other, so how could he not find a connection?
What he cared about was why Shibamon Ichiro wanted to join the Tenryo Bugyo. After meeting him, he felt that he wanted to retire and return to the countryside. He just wanted to focus on farming at home.
"Sir, I find myself feeling a bit restless at home. After seeing your fight with Uncle Tejima, I feel like it's hard to be away from my sword. Every day feels like a year."
"Is Kairangui's technique okay?"
"The God Technique is also circulated among the Tenryo Bugyo, but people usually don't use it. Even Uncle Teshima knows how to use it, so don't worry about it."
"Congratulations, Ichiro."
"My lord, where are you going next? If you want to go to Inazuma Castle, you can come with me. But before that, my lord, you have to learn how to disguise yourself."
Li Mo looked at the sky. After the battle, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed and the weather cleared up.
Li Mo said to Shibamon Ichiro beside him, "I want to go to the shrine at the entrance of the village. I can go alone."
Chapter 90: Flowers scattered
If you walk along the road from Konda Village towards the outlying island, you will see a shrine. It is called a shrine, but it is actually a statue of a fox.
That was the place Li Mo was going to. A few days ago, when he came back with Shibamon Ichiro, Li Mo paid special attention to the fox statue. If his memory was correct, that should be the place where the traveler and Hanasari first met.
——He remembered it so clearly because Hanasari was related to foxes. Li Mo was very interested in foxes. Come on, who wouldn’t like a big sister with a fox tail?
Even though the nine-tailed fox is demonized and is synonymous with beauty causing trouble, from a man's perspective...
It seems like the train of thought has gone to a strange place.
Li Mo put his hands behind his back and slowly approached the place. Soon, he saw a short-haired girl standing in front of the fox statue from a distance. Her clothes were red and white, and she was obviously a witch at first glance.
"Excuse me, were you the one watching us before?" Li Mo walked forward and asked.
As early as the battle, when Li Mo used "Swallow Return", he felt that there were multiple eyes watching him. One of them was shot from outside the village.
Whose sight was that? Li Mo didn't know. It could be the people in the wild, or it could be other Abyss Mages.
——But, maybe it could be Miss Hanasari?
He had heard the story of "the girl who appeared on a rainy day" from Aunt Shibamon, also known as Shibamon Eri. I think the main character of this story is Hanasari. And during the previous battle, although it was not a rainy day, it was also a rainy day. Dark clouds covered the sky, and Li Mo thought it would last for the whole day.
Who could imagine that the weather has cleared up now?
"Hmm? How did you know this, stranger?"
"I just asked by the way, I didn't expect it was really you." Li Mo said with a smile, as if he was happy that he had tricked the other party.
Hanasari said, "I see, I was watching your fight earlier."
Li Mo saw the other person's face - she was wearing a mask. He could make a judgment based on this look.
——The other party is Hanasari.
"Excuse me, do you need my help?" Li Mo asked immediately. Then, he could feel that the witch across from him was a little hesitant. She probably didn't expect that the topic would jump so quickly.
"Yes. Stranger, I hope you can help me. There is a charm inside the statue of the fox here. It is said that only those who are appreciated by "Thunder", brave and cherish friendship can take it out."
Hua Sanli is very familiar with what it means to ask for help. If you don't say something good about others first, how can others help you? Especially when she can hardly pay anything at the moment.
The curve of Li Mo's mouth froze, and he said in a low voice: "Well, I can't activate the lightning element now... How about I study the talisman paper technology first?"
Damn, this feeling is really annoying. I boast that I can do something, but when the other party asks me to do something, alas, I can't do it at all. That's embarrassing.
He can use the Breath of the Sun to attract the fire element, and he can also use the Godly Technique to attract the fire element. But he cannot attract the lightning element...
Li Mo had the spoils of war seized from the Sea Ghost Lei Teng - the thunder element talisman paper made with the Godly Technology. He could use that to activate the thunder element.
