Chapter 1 Return to Normal
Ashina Province, the land of reeds.
White reeds grow wildly on this open space, turning the land into a white ocean.
clang! clang!
Now the noise of swords clashing echoed over the reeds, and sparks flickered among the swaying reeds.
"Hmph, drink aaaaaah!"
The old man's thunderous roar, accompanied by the sound of a spear cutting through the air, exploded in the reed field.
“My blood is boiling!”
"I'm going to fuck you, wolf!"
The old man in a blue robe with his chest open and a warrior helmet swung the sickle spear in his hand. The spear tip picked up a piece of reed and swung it fiercely at the ninja in front of him.
Faced with this powerful and deep shot, the ninja in the somewhat worn orange linen clothes did not dodge or evade, but simply quickly raised the katana wandamaru in his hands with both hands.
clang!
The sound of metal clashing appeared again. Although the attack failed, the old man was not discouraged. The black long sword with a lotus blade in his right hand slashed towards the ninja he called Sekiro with lightning speed.
Ping!
Raise the knife to block again!
Seeing this, the fighting spirit in the old man's eyes seemed to turn into a raging fire that was about to burn Sekiro to death.
"drink!"
With a low growl, he rushed towards Sekiro again and fought with him!
"Isshin-sama..."
Sekiro whispered as he fended off Isshin's frantic attacks.
But when he saw the raging fighting spirit in the old man's eyes, he understood. His eyes were determined, and when he once again blocked Yi Xin's sword, he used both hands to push the long sword away, and sparks flew between the two swords!
Yi Xin also paused because of the momentary imbalance, and seizing this opportunity, Uekimaru slashed the old man's chest with a knife, adding another scar to his chest that was already covered with scars!
Touching the wound on his chest, Isshin smiled happily at Sekiro who had cut him, and roared at him again.
"Here we go! Sekiro!"
"Yes..."
From time to time, there were flashes of swords and sounds of muskets firing as the two men began an extremely fierce battle in this huge reed field. Every careless mistake could cost them their lives.
Not far away from where the two were fighting, a small figure was lying weakly among the reeds, with a long cut on his chest. The black aura and the pink cherry-like strange power were fighting for sovereignty over the wound.
Tears slowly fell from the corners of his eyes, but what made him cry was not the painful wound, but the two people fighting in the reed field.
"Wolf... and Isshin-sama... please, please stop..."
The weak prayer of the Son of God would certainly not reach the ears of the two people who were fighting intensely, but at this moment the sound of fighting stopped, and what followed was the sound of swords piercing into flesh and blood.
This voice made the Son of God's pale face reveal a sad expression again.
However, the expected sound of a body collapsing to the ground did not come, instead, what came was the rumbling sound of thunder exploding in the sky!
Although he couldn't stand up and see the duel between the two, he still saw from the peripheral vision the golden thunder attached to the sword and the gun attacking Sekiro.
Thunder of Ba.
He had seen it in the Son of God's residence when Genichirō was fighting against Wolf. The astonishing power was still fresh in his memory. He didn't know how Wolf defeated him and saved himself.
Thunder and lightning exploded everywhere, and the sound of Yixin fighting with the wolf continued to reach the ears of the Son of God. Finally, because of the injury in his chest, the Son of God closed his eyes tiredly and fainted.
But the fight between the two did not stop!
Lightning kept flashing back and forth between the two men, and the wounds on their bodies kept increasing. Blood splattered and the high temperature of the lightning evaporated the blood.
At the last moment, the young ninja still defeated the old swordsman!
The indestructible katana once again knocked Isshin off balance, but this time Isshin was unable to regain his balance. Instead, he tiredly bent his back which had been straight all his life.
Seizing the opportunity, Sekiro stabbed Isshin in the heart! Even so, the old man did not die.
Pulling out the wedge pill, the old sword master took a weak step back, blood spurting out of his heart, and Wolf now turned around and slashed at Isshin once more!
He used up his last bit of strength to block the blow, but in the end, he was no match for Sekiro's full-strength swing and was deflected by the huge force. The blow slashed across his abdomen, causing blood to spurt out.
Kneeling helplessly in the reed field, the old man squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body and straightened his bent back. This was his last dignity as a sword master!
"Click!!"
This roar is so majestic!
Behind him, Wolf looked at the elderly man quietly with a complicated expression. He didn't know what to do facing the old man who taught him Ashina-ryu swordsmanship.
But looking at him kneeling there motionless, he looked like he was ready to be killed.
Wolf made up his mind, drew out the simple long sword that he had been carrying on his back, and unsheathed the Immortal Slash!
The bloody karma madly dissipated from the blade, plundering all life force around it!
As if sensing the huge karma behind him, Yixin growled.
"Do it!"
Without saying anything more, with a heavy face, Wolf held the knife in both hands, raised it high and slashed at his neck!
Blood splattered out, and Isshin's sitting figure slowly collapsed.
"Well done... Sekiro..."
The Immortal Slash was put back into the scabbard. The sword master, who had spent his whole life as a soldier, conquered all directions, led the war to steal the country, and was pulled back from the underworld by his grandson using the Immortal Slash to "open the door" after he died of old age. At this moment, he died in the fight to the death that he had been pursuing all his life.
"…Goodbye forever."
With a cry of mourning, the wolf, running out of time, immediately searched among the tall reeds for the unconscious Son of God.
Finally, under the guidance of the pink dragon power floating in the air, they found the Son of God buried in the reeds.
He lay in the reeds with his eyes closed, but when the wolf slowly lifted him up with its right hand, he seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes, his voice a little weak.
"Wolf..."
Looking at the weak Son of God in front of him, Wolf couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He was so young and shouldn't have to endure all this pain. Hearing the Son of God's call, Wolf spoke gently.
"I'm right here with you."
He used his strangely shaped ninja prosthetic hand to reach into the package beside him, and took himself to the Palace of Origin to fight the Sakura Dragon, and used the red Undead Slash "Bai Lei" to obtain the Dragon's Tears.
And go back to the memory of three years ago to defeat his adoptive father, the giant ninja owl, and take back the evergreen cherry blossom that was stolen by him.
Looking at the pink light in Renyi's hand, and then at Shenzi's pale and painful little face, Wolf no longer hesitated and put his hand to Shenzi's mouth.
"...Please take the dragon's tears."
After swallowing the dragon's tears, the Son of God took one last look at the wolf. He seemed to know what was going to happen next, and fainted after choking with sobs.
He gently put the Son of God down and drew out the great sword of immortality from behind again. The red karma wrapped around the bumpy blade of "Bai Lei".
"I will deal with... the last of the immortals."
He placed the knife across his neck, took a last look at the Son of God whose complexion had gradually recovered, and tightly clenched his hands around "Bai Lei".
"Please live on as a human being."
With a powerful wave, the cherry blossoms flew and scattered in the air, and the headless wolf slowly fell in front of the Son of God.
------------
Japan, Taisho period, in a town.
It was raining heavily, and raindrops kept falling from the inky sky to the ground. No one would go out in such weather, and naturally no one noticed the little beggar who was lying lifeless between the two houses.
Raindrops continued to hit his thin body. Perhaps it was due to the collision of the raindrops or for some other reason, but his eyelids were trembling slightly!
At this moment, crystal clear pink cherry blossoms appeared from above his body and slowly floated towards him. Finally, above his thin body, the pink words "Resurrection" appeared out of thin air!
! !
At this moment, his eyes suddenly opened, he propped himself up and slowly stood up in the rain, looking around blankly.
"...Where is...?"
