The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 630: Iga Ninjutsu? Overpass Acrobatics?
Qufu, Mount Ni.

The morning mist is quiet, reflecting the lush green of the mountains like smoke; the wind blows through the leaves, making the sounds of insects and birds sing.

Several people walked in the light smoke and mist of the deep forest of Mount Ni, as if they were in a misty fairyland, riding on the winding clouds.

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "Although I just arrived here, I already feel that those mundane disputes are like things from my previous life. Living here, even a layman like me can become a refined scholar."

Nangong Ling said, "When my foster father was alive, he always wanted to live here in seclusion, but unfortunately he was very busy throughout his life, so this wish could only be realized after his death."

Chu Liuxiang asked, "Do you miss him a lot?"

Nangong Ling said that Ren Ci was very kind and gentle, and without Ren Ci there would be no him.

Jin Banhua didn't say a word along the way, just looking straight ahead, and then he soon saw the person he wanted to see.

There is a cliff ahead, more than ten feet wide on both sides, with only a stone beam connecting the middle.

On the stone beam which was less than two feet wide, there was a man sitting cross-legged. The mountain breeze blew his clothes, making them rustle, but he had his eyes closed and did not move, as if he was fast asleep.

This man had waxy yellow eyes, thick eyebrows, an aquiline nose, and was barefoot. In front of him lay a pair of high-heeled wooden clogs, and in front of the clogs lay a Japanese sword.

Chu Liuxiang had sharp eyes and could see eight large characters embroidered on his robe that fluttered in the mountain breeze: The sword of death, no mercy for those who are struck!
"Who is this?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

Nangong Ling shook her head.

"Is Madam Ren's residence just across the street?" Chu Liuxiang asked again.

Nangong Ling nodded.

Chu Liuxiang understood, so he stepped forward decisively, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Friend, can you lend me a hand?"

The man didn't respond.

Chu Liuxiang raised his voice, "Friend, could you lend me the way so I can wait for you?"

The man still didn't respond.

Chu Liuxiang looked back and smiled, "This friend is almost saying, 'I built this mountain, I planted this tree, if you pass by here, please leave me some money to pay for your passage.'"

The man really opened his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice, like sharpening a knife, "The world is so big, there's nowhere you can't go. Why do you two have to go this way?"

Chu Liuxiang's mind moved, "What is your name?"

The man said indifferently, "Tian Feng Shisi Lang."

Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed, "Are you not from Middle-earth?"

The man's eyes swept across Chu Liuxiang's face like knives, "My family is from Iga Valley, Dongying Province."

Chu Liuxiang was startled and asked, "Could it be that you are the Ninja Hero of Iga?"

Jin Banhua curled her lips, "A ninja is a ninja, a ronin is a ronin, and a pirate is a pirate. I have never heard of a ninja being called a knight. He is indeed a lone thief who knows how to support his peers who cannot stand the light of day."

One sentence offended two people. Liao Gang and Ye Jin were terrified and wanted to cover Jin Banhua's mouth, but it was too late.

Chu Liuxiang certainly didn't care, and Tianfeng Shishilang seemed not to have heard it either.

Nangong Ling ignored Jin Banhua and took a step forward, bowed and said, "The Iga Ninja Hero, the Invincible Dragon, was once seen in Fujian and Zhejiang more than 20 years ago. Could he be the senior?"

Tianfeng Shishilang said, "That's right."

Next, Nangong Ling asked Tianfeng Shishilang how long he had been there, and he said five days.

Nangong Ling asked him to make way, but Tianfeng Shishilang angrily stopped him, saying that he had endured the humiliation of Ren Ci for Qiu Lingsu and returned to Japan twenty years ago. Now that Ren Ci is dead, no one can see Qiu Lingsu.

Chu Liuxiang naturally would not give up and was ready to give it a try.

In order to shock Chu Liuxiang, Tian Feng Shi Silang showed off his ability of breaking trees with a silver ring, which flew back and forth, which was indeed strange and mysterious.

"This is the 'Death Scroll Technique' from the Nine Secret Ninjutsu. What if that tree replaced your neck?" Tian Feng Shishilang laughed grimly, "Why don't you leave quickly? Do you really want to die?"

Chu Liuxiang really wanted to try. So Tianfeng Shishilang made a move, and Chu Liuxiang's body moved like flying, and his body flashed faster than the silver ring. Finally, a few black stars popped out of his hand, and he knocked the silver ring down, breaking the opponent's ninjutsu.

"How dare you break my 'Death Scroll Technique'! Well, now look at my 'Heart of Alchemy Technique'!"

Tian Feng Shi Silang pushed out a purple mist with a little purple star in it. When Chu Liuxiang dodged it, there was a loud "bang" like lightning and thunder. A big tree behind him was split into two halves, and the wound was like charcoal.

While Chu Liuxiang was secretly frightened, he had already landed on the stone beam, only a few feet away from Tianfeng Shishilang.

Nangong Ling reminded, "Iga ninjas have great powers, Brother Chu, you have to be careful."

Jin Banhua said loudly, "He used boomerangs and secret gunpowder. All the jugglers in the capital are good at using these two, but this guy used the things we use for fun to kill people!
By analogy, he might be able to crush rocks with his chest, hold a gun tip in his throat, walk on a tightrope, spit fireballs, change his face, and perform other acrobatics that could protect himself or kill people!"

Nangong Ling still didn't go to see Jin Banhua, but her face turned pale and blue, and it was obvious that she was not in a calm mood.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help laughing, "Thank you, Brother Jin, for reminding me. I'm also familiar with the methods used by those artists in Beijing. I will be careful."

Jin Banhua nodded, "Don't die, you still owe me the white jade beauty!"

Chu Liuxiang said helplessly, "I know..."

Tian Feng Shishilang's mouth twitched, "Do you also think that my nine great ninjutsu are just acrobatics?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Everything in the world has the same principles. There are many martial arts in the Central Plains that are inspired by animals, such as monkey fists, eagle claws, tiger claws, etc. Why should you be so particular, especially..."

"Besides what?"

"Besides, I want to learn how to use your sword to kill people."

Tian Feng Shishilang said in a broken voice, "Do you want to see my 'Windward Blade Slash'?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded. "Even if you let me go now, I won't go. I am more interested in you than in Madam Ren. After learning your 'Wind-facing Blade Slash', I want to have a good talk with you."

There seemed to be a strange light in Tianfeng Shishilang's eyes. "This 'Windward Slash' is the essence of swordsmanship. Once the sword is out, it will kill without mercy. After you have seen it, you will never talk to others again."

Chu Liuxiang didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on the knife, and he smiled without saying a word.

Tianfeng Shishilang stopped talking and grabbed the long sword and drew it out of its sheath.

The two stood facing each other.

Tian Feng Shisilang was as solid as a rock, and he enveloped Chu Liuxiang with his murderous aura. Chu Liuxiang did not move at all, and did not reveal the slightest flaw.

Whoever moves first will be at a disadvantage.

After a moment of stalemate, Tianfeng Shishilang moved first. He moved forward barefoot, trying his best to keep his body still.

Chu Liuxiang still didn't move.

Tian Feng Shi Silang attacked first with his scabbard, and Chu Liuxiang was forced to retreat. Then Tian Feng Shi Silang slashed out with his fatal sword!

He calculated that Chu Liuxiang had no way to retreat, so he concentrated all his energy and spirit to strike out with this fatal blow. He thought that this blow was an invincible one that contained the essence of swordsmanship and the wisdom of facing the enemy.

A smile appeared on his face, and he believed that Chu Liuxiang would die.

Then Chu Liuxiang fell down and fell off the stone beam.

Tian Feng Shisilang slashed in the air with his sword, and with a "ding" sound, it hit the stone beam.

However, Chu Liuxiang had already climbed up from the side, showing off his extraordinary lightness skills. He then grabbed Tian Feng Shi Si Lang's hair and said, "Where else do you want to go..."

The next moment, Chu Liuxiang's laughter stopped because he found that what he was holding in his hands was just a wig and a mask.

However, Tianfeng Shishilang had already rolled down the cliff. A silk thread popped out from his sleeve and nailed into the stone wall of the cliff. After floating for a few times, it ran to the bank of the flowing spring under the cliff.

"Chu Liuxiang, do you think this Iga 'Sky Cicada Technique' is the best in the world?"

In response, Jin Banhua explained, "Isn't this the fancy swing that Li Xiuniang is doing under the overpass?"
