Chapter 97 Farewell ([-])
"Why did Master Zongfan withdraw his sword and retreat?"

Outside Lingshi County, the snow has fallen all over the mountains and fields.This style has the flavor of my hometown in the north.

The old man took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly.My thoughts raced, and I thought of the smell of the wine cellar in my hometown, which especially warmed my body and mood on winter nights.

I think back in those days, there were many young and strong men singing loudly into the mountains to hunt bears.How much passion, a night of raging fire, drunken dancing with swords, and laughter filling the sky.Now, 50 years have passed by in a hurry, and looking back on life is always a pleasant experience.What else do you want? !
"I hand this knife to you!"

The old man answered the question calmly and leisurely, and threw the famous sword that had never left his body for decades to the young woman opposite.

The woman's face was astonished, and she hurriedly knelt on the snow, lowered her head respectfully, and continued to stand with her hands raised high.

Her arms were white and reflected in the moonlight like brilliance against the snow on the ground.The scabbard of the knife was jet black, as if it had been stained with the enemy's blood, and it had a murderous aura under the moonlight.

"Master..." The woman wanted to ask urgently.The old man sighed softly, and with a gentleness he had not seen in 40 years, he said slowly and thoughtfully: "You are the only successor I recognize. Now I order you to kill me with this knife!"

The woman's expression was in deep pain, her whole body was shaking, and she knelt still.

"You dare to resist my order?" the old man scolded.

"Disciple dare not——" the woman's voice was sad: "But if the disciple wants to kill the master, he would rather die."

"Sigh! You loser——" the old man got angry and cursed: "Pull out the knife and see what's carved on it?"

The woman fell to her knees and sank to the ground, and with her right hand trembling, she drew the knife Yingyue.

The sword has bright red words on the blade: Calm life and death is the way of martial arts!
"Forty years ago, as a teacher, I was defeated by Yu Ao's Lightning Knife. It was a big mistake for me not to commit suicide to challenge martial arts. Forty years later, I was defeated by the third generation descendant of the Yu family's Lightning Knife, and it was even worse that I failed to die from this blade. It's a pity." The old man angrily rushed into the mountains and fields: "Now, I can't even die from my own sword. Isn't it a great shame?!"

The woman's whole body was shaking, and she couldn't swing the knife even half an inch in her hand.

The old man raised his eyebrows angrily and scolded: "I want you to kill me tonight so that you can inherit the essence of my last swordsmanship, Yagyu, and become the true successor - if you kill a master before you see him, you will become a god of death! If you are soft-hearted and my swordsmanship, Yagyu, is extinct, then let I will kill you to prevent future generations from slandering my reputation——"

The old man was yelling and scolding, and he slashed through the air with another long knife at his waist.The blade passed by, rolling up all kinds of flying snow, showing no mercy!
The woman was filled with grief and fear, so she tried to block him with the knife given by the old man. She only dared to block but did not dare to attack.The old man became even more angry, and Kuang Dao said angrily: "If you don't kill me, how can you be qualified to kill the descendant of the Yu family's lightning knife with the Tianxin Death Sword?"

He performed seventeen killing swordsmanships in a row. The woman tried her best to avoid it, but the old man still cursed: "If you can't kill Yu Huan, how can you have the dignity to let Yagyu's swordsmanship live?"

"Master, why must you die?" the woman asked back in panic.

"Because only by killing me can the hatred in your heart complete Tianxin's ultimate killing skill." The old man shouted: "Only by facing death can the sword of Taixu be broken!"

Now that my heart has died, I am too empty.

I am too weak, and the law is for my use!
The woman still couldn't do it; the old man was furious, suddenly jumped up and shouted in the air: "I'll kill you, you loser -"

Under the sword, the mania is unspeakable, and the color of heaven and earth really changes!
The woman tried her best to block the attack with her knife.

But, a blade was inserted into the master's throat!
The woman exclaimed, and then she realized that there were four or five highly venomous "red bead nigger" spiders in the tree behind her, jumping to bite her neck.But the master dropped his sword and turned from slashing to sweeping, killing them all with snipers and saving his own life.

The regret in her heart was unspeakable, and she looked into her master's eyes not knowing what to do.There was peace in the eyes of the old man, and no sound could be made from his throat, but there was a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"You will be the daughter God gave me from now on, my heir."

The woman's thoughts were in a mess, and she suddenly remembered that when she met her master for the first time, she almost starved to death in the ice and snow.

In the coldest and coldest time, a pair of rough but warm hands picked up the less than seven-year-old self from the snowdrift, with a gentle voice like a father: "From now on, you will be the daughter God gave me -, I The descendant——."

I remember clearly that the master raised his head in the sky, looked at the bright moon, and laughed loudly: "You are my flesh and blood in life, you are my flesh and blood in swordsmanship, and your name is Yagyu Suigetsu!"

Yagyu Suigetsu, the Yagyu clan, the second generation descendant of the Tenshin Death Sword!
