Infinite Throne

Chapter 592: I have in my heart... a natural **** of swordsmanship!

Chapter 592 There is... a natural **** of swordsmanship!

I cut many people,

cut a lot of monsters,

But,

I have never tried to chop "myself".

Oda Mai is in front of him.

is a pure black space.

At the foot of is a black water lake without waves.

Stepping on the lake, Oda Mai could neither sink, nor make too much water. Walking slowly, behind Oda Mai, a circle of black ripples swayed.

As far as I can see, about a hundred meters away, a black-haired girl in a white dress quietly stepped on the black water lake, becoming the only pure white in the black. It seems that the existence of the girl is like a white lotus that is invincible in the mud.

Ironically, Oda Mai knew very well that the "white lotus" was the most evil and should be hacked to death in the whole trial.

Hack her and it should be over.

You can go back.

"Cough cough cough."

Oda Mai coughed up a mouthful of blood.

adds a touch of blush to this pure black space.

When he was coughing up blood, Oda Mai's mind flashed through the refuge in the snow-capped mountains. The scene that flashed in his mind made Oda Mai's mouth rise slightly, as if he was smiling.

A dark-skinned figure stood opposite Mai Oda.

face to face.

That figure was wearing the same Yingshima samurai uniform that Oda Mai had in his impression. The black color blended into the background. His facial features were almost indistinguishable from Oda Mai, but his skin was a little darker.

In the hands of another Oda Mai, holding two swords, one long and the other short, posing a familiar posture of Oda Mai, like Mount Fuji, standing still.

Not long ago.

Oda Mai fought with the opponent.

She was covered in scars.

Oda Mai didn't touch even a single hair.

It was obvious that the opponent used the moves, and she was familiar with every move and every move, but the effect of the opponent's hand was a level higher than Oda Mai. In addition, Oda Mai now only has one arm and cannot perform the "two days first class" that she is best at.

yes.

That is obviously the "two-day first-class" posture that she is most familiar with and the most standard.

Why, he couldn't cut her by himself?

is not scientific.

Oda Mai was puzzled.

One after another hideous knife marks, deep bones can be seen. Oda Mai's health is approaching the brink of danger.

But all of this did not let Oda Mai take it seriously.

There was only one thought left in her mind.

An innocent thought, very much like a childhood thought.

—Hack her to death, then hack the BOSS at the back, and call it a day.

【You are too weak. 】

【Your knife can cut everything continuously. 】

【yes? 】

【Why do you keep cutting? 】

【I am not lost. 】

【I am going forward. 】

【I give up my life and forget to die. 】

【Nine mountains and eight seas, nothing is constant. 】

【But,】

【I can’t stop cutting myself. 】

Strange voices have been whispering in Oda Mai's ears since the very beginning.

Her only right arm was holding a weird knife.

This knife, she was very familiar with it.

That is the knife that her master made by herself when she was a teacher.

—【Sakura Dance】.

However, the master's knife had something on it.

is not pure.

Oda Mai originally wanted to replace it with [Onimaru Kunizuna], which is a family heirloom sword. But there is no way.

【Sakura Dance One Word】The dense eyeball on the handle of the knife and the protruding pseudopods penetrated deeply into the flesh of Oda Mai, which could not be separated or split. After coming to this place, I don't know when it started, [Sakura Mai Ichimon], and Oda Mai's hand "grown" together.

"It's so noisy."

The small ravings seemed to come from a knife.

seems to come from the depths of my mind.

"It's so noisy."

Oda Mai gritted her teeth and took a step.

ripples out.

She was lying low, low, low.

It is said that the lower the swordsman is when he makes a move, the more powerful the move.

Her knife was low and fast.

But the other party, "Black Oda Mai", was faster, higher and stronger than her.

"Second Heaven's First-Class Profound Truth, the Ten Directions All Exterminate."

The familiar profound meaning was displayed from the opponent's hands. Oda Mai is also the first time to taste the taste of his own ultimate move.

scoff!

The sharp cross-shaped sword ray, when Oda Mai just started to move, came from a distance and slashed fiercely on Oda Mai.

From the chest, all the way to the back.

Oda Mai's body seemed to be torn in half, "PIA" slammed, and a dozen streams of blood spurted from the cross-shaped wound on his chest. If there is an audience for this strange showdown at this time, then no matter who it is, it will subconsciously feel that this exaggerated amount of bleeding is definitely dead.

【I lost. 】

Oda Mai was expressionless, her sword flashed, she knelt softly on the ground, and these two words flashed in front of her eyes.

【die? 】

After a while.

Another word flashed before her, and a question mark.

...she doesn't believe it.

She didn't believe she was going to die.

never believed.

But the revolving lanterns are starting to float.

She had heard that once you get out of the lantern, you are not far from death.

What to do.

The past, the present, the past, bit by bit, her life flashed quickly before her eyes.

“…”

The picture finally freezes in front of Oda Mai.

At this moment, Oda Mai felt like she was floating in front of a marquee.

She chose one of the scenes and walked in.

It was a garden full of cherry blossom trees.

"Little Oda Mai", who is a few years younger than the current Oda Mai, is practicing the sword.

Yeah, in her whole life, it seems that in addition to knives, she is also knives.

An old man with grey hair and neat clothes squatted on the side with a smile, eating grapes and spitting up grape skins.

"Splash."

The sound of spitting out the grape skins was linked to the sound of Oda's sword breaking through the air.

"Xiao Wu, your knife is wrong."

Oda Mai was expressionless, and slowly put a question mark.

She felt that what the master said was wrong.

Master took Oda Mai's sword with a smile.

"Hey, dance, do you know? There are two types of the strongest swords in the world: swords with no distractions, and swords with distractions."

"What's the meaning."

Oda dance flat mouth.

When she was a child, she subconsciously didn't believe what her master said.

Because in her impression, the master always likes to deceive people. do not know why.

Later, Oda Mai knew why.

Because of the master, in the year the satellite fell, he suddenly turned into a strange creature called "Apostle". From that day on, the master became fond of lying, and he kept telling lies, which was extremely insidious.

"Look, the master will show you a demonstration."

Master raised his sword and waved it gently.

Smell.

The knife seemed to shake uncharacteristically.

The falling cherry blossoms were cut in half.

Whoa!

The next second, a cherry tree not far away broke obliquely, and the fracture was as smooth as a mirror.

The master cut down the cherry tree with one knife, with a somewhat smug expression on his face: "Look, in the master's eyes, there is no difference between cherry blossoms and cherry blossom trees. There is only this knife in the master's hands, eyes, and heart. Therefore, master It's so easy to cut down a cherry tree. This is a knife with no distractions."

"A knife without distractions can cut through everything."

Oda Mai was not convinced, she snatched the knife from the master's hand.

"Drawing sword flow · flash."

Smell.

Another tree also suffered.

"I can cut too."

“…”

Master finally snatched the knife back.

The tree that Oda Mai cut down just now seems to have been planted when the flowers bloomed in the spring of the previous year, which is a little distressing.

If I knew earlier, I would not take the cherry blossom tree in the yard as an example. The cherry blossom tree is obviously innocent.

"In short,"

Master gives another example.

have no choice.

Still can only use cherry trees.

After all, the head has been opened, and it is not good to give up halfway.

"Look,"

The master raised his knife again and faced another thriving cherry tree.

Oda Mai was hesitant to say anything, but in the end she didn't say much, just to see what the master wanted to do.

Smell.

The master flicked his wrist again.

Oda Mai thought at that time, when the master cut this knife. There seems to be something different.

But Oda Mai at that time didn't have time to notice the difference between the two knives.

Wash la la—

The tree fell again.

But this time, none of the cherry blossoms fell along the way. Due to the interference of the sword energy, even the speed of falling five centimeters per second did not change. It feels like a master's knife, quietly touching a cherry blossom, and finally cutting down the tree.

"This is a knife with one's heart." The master said while closing his eyes: "For the first time, in the master's eyes, hands, and hearts, there is no difference between cherry blossoms and cherry trees, they are all existences that can be cut. So the master has nothing else to do. And the second time, master... By the way, do you see any difference?"

When was about to say the answer, the master suddenly woke up. He was teaching people now, not pretending to be forced, so he randomly asked the exam questions.

"Cherry blossoms."

Oda Mai said solemnly.

"That's right." The master praised Oda Mai's high comprehension softly, put the long sword back into the sheath, and smiled slightly: "The second time, the master has cherry blossoms in his heart, hands, and eyes. So in order to protect the cherry blossoms, the master, In order to become Sakura's sword, I cut a sword faster than a sword with no distractions. This is a sword with distractions."

“…”

"I have a knife in my heart, which can cut off what I want to cut, but also what I don't want to cut."

“…”

Oda Mai looked at the broken cherry tree and fell into a long silence.

"understand?"

"Master."

"Um?"

"That tree."

"What's the matter?"

"I planted it myself on my birthday last year."

“…”

…

That year.

Oda Mai didn't understand what a sword with a "heart has a side" was called.

She only noticed at the time that there was a little difference when the master cut out the two knives, but Oda Mai couldn't see the difference, and he couldn't see through it.

But now,

At this moment, her time was like a freeze frame, and the moment when the electric light flashed for a lifetime, Oda Mai re-entered the scene, and she stared at the master's face carefully. Finally understand.

turn out to be,

When the master cut out the "heart has a side",

is laughing.

Master cut this knife with a smile.

"The heart has a side."

Black Oda Mai walked towards him step by step.

Behind Kuro Oda Mai, Gaya Geummi stared at Oda Mai, who was covered in blood, kneeling on the lake, and the corners of her mouth evoked a wicked smile.

Looking at Mai Kuro Oda who came, she seemed to see her former self.

Desperate for everything, keep moving forward, and have no distractions.

This is her "obsession".

The obsession to cut off everything.

Because the obsession is too strong, so "she" is so strong.

To hack this counterfeit to death, only, surpass your own obsession.

What can surpass one's own obsession?

"Then... just change the obsession."

A familiar smiling face came to mind.

Oda Mai stood up again in a pool of blood.

After a while, she—

smiled slightly.
