death of hope

Chapter 805: Wild Growth (221) Lion Splashing Ink

Saito Rinrinka was dumbfounded, and felt somewhat desperate about the difference in strength:
"That's the strength of a swordsman of the tenth level... a swordsman."

"I will remember you, the director of Nagasaki Nagatake Martial Arts Hall, martial arts master, Shimazu Seiichiro, you are qualified to be my opponent."

Chen Xing whispered the name of his opponent, expressing his respect and affirmation for his strength:
"You took money from Kondo and became our enemy. We have a grudge now. We'll see. Sooner or later I will go to Nagasaki to challenge you and beat you Satsuma Shigen-ryu to a pulp!"

Beside him, Chen Hong was bowing her head in silence, deeply saddened by the tragic death of the cyborg: "Ms. Naomi, you tried your best and worked hard... Rest in peace..."

"Damn it, we lost another game, all the battle maids were wiped out..." Yamagami Tetsuya's face was gloomy, and the pressure increased sharply: "The opponents are more powerful than each other, it will be difficult to fight from now on."

The audience was silent. Even the timid people who had been hiding behind their chairs out of fear stood up, deeply shocked by this magnificent blow that seemed like the creation of the world.

"You fought well." Kondo Isao's old face gradually relaxed, as if he had become ten years younger, and he felt secretly delighted:
(The enemy had mutated into a giant monster. I thought it was tough, but I didn't expect to win. This Shimazu product is not a fake. My money was not wasted.)
·
With the foreshadowing of the first two bloody battles, the host felt that he was gradually adapting and had some resistance.

But by the end of the third scene, the strong stimulation of the sight and smell still made her pale, her stomach churned, and she vomited all over the floor with a "wow".

Kondo Yae knelt on the ground and retched for more than ten seconds, her S socks were worn out.
Only when the mutant that had been cut into two pieces stopped convulsing and was completely dead did the host gradually recover.
He picked up the microphone with trembling hands and bowed repeatedly to the VIP seat, "Sorry... I'm being rude..."

Kondo Yae cleared his throat and said loudly:
"The third game,

Kyokushin Group representative, Shimazu Seiichiro, wins! "

The Sannokai representative, Fujiwara Naomi, died in defeat!"

·
"Yeah! Another win! Two to zero!"

Kondo Toranosuke cheered and high-fived Musashi beside him, thinking that everything was safe:
"If he wins two more games, that brat Tetsuya will be the king of tyrants and will never be able to stand up again! Hahaha!

Shimadzu, well done! Beer! 666! "

Shimazu Seiichiro noticed the fat boy grinning at him and thought;

(Such a person can be the heir. Sure enough, after Ryunosuke's death, the Kondo family has no successor. No wonder old man Kondo Isao was so angry that he wanted to avenge his son even if the senator intervened.)
The Sword Master ignored Toranosuke and rubbed his fingers towards his employer Kondo Isao, meaning that the work was done and he should remember to pay the balance.

Kondo Isao waved his hand impatiently, meaning: (You're not going to be spared, go back to the hotel and rest!)
·
The Sword Master walked towards the exit passage, and Senator Shitono Tsunesaki stood up and applauded him: "Excellent, the Kondo family is really full of talented people."

Facing such a powerful figure, even someone as arrogant as Shimazu Seiichiro did not dare to neglect him and quickly bowed 90 degrees to show his respect:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed myself in front of you, sir."

"What's that last trick called?" the senator asked with a smile.

"Lion splashes ink."

"It sounds weird, how did this move get its name?"

"This 'secret technique' has a history of several hundred years. It was created by our sect's 'Satsuma Shigenryu' master." The Sword Saint bowed and explained patiently:
"During the Kamakura period, our master served the shogun as a swordsman. One summer, the shogun went hunting in the mountains. He shot a wild boar with his bow and arrow, causing it to limp. The shogun was overjoyed and chased after it to add arrows.
Unfortunately, there was a lion lurking in the bushes, and it also set its sights on the injured wild boar.
This beast is not native to Honshu, but an alien species brought to Honshu by a Western circus. It escaped from its cage and hid in the mountains.
Since then, local mountain dwellers and foreign merchants have occasionally disappeared when passing through the mountain, and later herbalists found gnawed bones.
The authorities believed that it was the work of a 'Hokkaido wolf', while folk rumors said it was the work of a 'fox demon'. The matter did not receive sufficient attention, which laid hidden dangers.

There are no large carnivores in the mountains, and the lions hiding in the forests have no natural enemies, so they have become the veritable "king of the mountain."

Unexpectedly, the foreign "mountain king" and the local "shogun" simultaneously set their sights on a wild boar.
The lion immediately changed its target and pounced on the general's horse, gutting it.
The fallen general picked up his bow and arrow and shot the lion's eye blind, causing it to rush forward madly. It was about to follow the horse's footsteps and be torn into pieces by its sharp claws.

At the critical moment, the general's swordsmanship master, Shimazu Yoshihiro, rushed over and jumped in front of the general.

He drew out the wild sword from behind him, raised it high, and chopped it down towards the bloody mouth that was rushing towards him, cutting the running lion into two pieces.

The splattered lion blood and lion internal organs fell to the ground, forming a strange pattern.

At this time, the other accompanying personnel finally arrived and were shocked and terrified when they saw the scene before them.

The general's father-in-law, Katsushika Nansai, is a famous contemporary painter and artist.

Seeing the remains of the lion on the ground, he exclaimed "How beautiful!", picked up a branch instead of a brush and made a bloody and magnificent landscape painting.
The Shogun, whose mind gradually calmed down, was very impressed by the "painting" and drew his sword to write on the ground: "Lion splashing ink".

Because of his meritorious service in saving the emperor, the master of our school, Shimazu Yoshihiro, was promoted from a "samurai" to a "daimyo" (feudal noble lord).
He was granted a castle fief and a salary of 1 koku (one koku is about 52.5 kilograms of rice, which is equivalent to about kilograms of brown rice after threshing).

Since then, the Shimazu family has risen, and the trick of "Lion Splashing Ink" has been widely sung by storytellers.
Nowadays, ancient martial arts are gradually being lost, and I am the only one who has the strength to use this move in a real sword duel."

·
When explaining the first half of the story, Shimazu Seiichiro's tone was quite respectful and courteous. However, when he talked about the rise of the Shimazu family in the last sentence, his attitude became arrogant.

They are very proud of their family history and their own abilities, and they look down on nouveau riche like the Kondo family, treating them only as a tool to make money and not even giving them a second glance.

Kondo Isao looked at the other person's expression and felt very unhappy. He cursed in his heart: (Damn it, what is there to be proud of? He is just a warrior.

I took out a box of banknotes, and you so-called 'masters' all came running over here, wagging your tails.

Senator Shitono Tsunesaki was born in the old aristocracy system. He had a good impression of the Shimazu family, which also had a long history, and he was also generous in praising Shimazu Seiichiro:
"Thank you Mr. Shimazu for telling us this wonderful story. It was a worthwhile trip.

After that, I will work hard to promote the passage of the Terra Federation Civilization Monuments Restoration Act, and the funds will be allocated to the Shimazu family's martial arts field and castle first to protect the proud memory of our Oriental ethnic group."

"Thank you very much, sir!"

Shimazu Seiichiro made a fortune on this trip, gaining both fame and fortune, and even getting the protection of a big shot. He left the scene happily humming a little tune.

Kondo Isao stared at the sword master's back with an ugly look on his face. In front of the two famous families, 'Shino' and 'Shimazu', the Kondo family was as humble as an ugly duckling.

Kondo Toranosuke was only busy fooling around with the female secretary and didn't catch any information at all, but the scheming Musashi understood everything and thought;
(I see, Senator Shitono Tsunesaki is from the old aristocracy system and looks down on upstarts like the Kondo family.
Just now she praised the Shimazu family and even made a ZZ promise. This was all to warn the old thief Kondo Isao.
Warn him not to get carried away just because he made a lot of money from selling medicine.

Despite the rise of the new nobility, the old aristocracy still holds considerable power.)
