He switched from the Breath of Wind sword technique to the Breath of Thunder sword technique, and then to the Breath of Fire sword technique. However, no matter what sword technique it was, it could not do anything to Yagyuu Munematsu.
His swordsmanship wasn't outstanding, but it had reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Any swordsmanship was at his fingertips. When he faced off against Liu Xia, his eyes didn't relax in the slightest, and his expression didn't change in the slightest.
As a result, Ryuga directly switched to the Breath of Sun sword technique. This was the strongest sword technique that Ryuga knew. Even he could not modify it much. It was a move that had reached the extreme of the technique.
After using the Breath of Sun sword technique, Yagyuu Munematsu's eyes finally changed.
Before, he had only thought of him as a lowly thief and a junior. Now, his eyes had changed into praise for a fellow practitioner.
However, he still maintained his extreme calmness. He was not moved at all, nor did he show any intention to fight. His posture was like the moon in the water. It only existed there but could never be touched.
However, his sword still steadily blocked Ryuga's sword.
During the fight, Ryuga had been observing Yagyuu Munematsu, trying to find traces of the so-called Tao of the Sword from him.
At first, he could not see any clues at all. However, as his sword technique continued to improve, Yagyuu Munematsu had no choice but to reveal more of his strength. In his eyes, Yagyuu Munematsu's blade quickly showed some differences.
It was not a change in technique. In terms of sword technique alone, Yagyuu Munematsu was not stronger than him. There was no special force technique. Yagyuu Munematsu's strength was much weaker than his.
However, Yagyuu Munematsu's blade was still firmly above his. There seemed to be an indomitable momentum on his blade. It was as if everything in front of him, regardless of whether it was flesh, steel, magic, or spells, could be cut with one strike.
This man seemed to believe that there was nothing that he could not cut.
His sword seemed to be able to cut through endless numbers, break through infinity, and reach the ultimate and only zero.
"I see. This is the Tao."
Ryuga vaguely felt that she seemed to have understood something. She felt as if she had been enlightened all of a sudden. It was as if she had found a way forward. Her morale rose from being at a loss.
If the previous Realm of Dao was like a thick coffin that locked him inside, then this coffin had become a layer of fine sand in front of him.
As long as he could push aside this layer of fine sand, he would be able to push aside the fog and see the formation of the Sword Dao.
"Form Thirteen!"
Ryuga's eyes narrowed rapidly. Then, with a twist of her feet, she spun the blade in her hand in a circle, forming a blazing sun-like circular blade light. Then, she quickly coordinated her body, executing the twelve sword techniques of the Breath of the Sun smoothly in a short span of time, combining them into one move.
As if he had seen the power of this sword, Yagyuu Munetsugu's eyes released some hidden heat. Then, his eyes became calm, as if he had entered a state of meditation without thoughts. His sword heart did not move, and then he slashed out with his blade.
"Clang!"
As if he had comprehended the sword to the extreme in the gap between life and death, his sword blocked the path of Ryuga's sword at the critical moment, causing the Form Thirteen to die in the womb.
Layers of sweat appeared on Yagyuu Munetsugu's forehead.
This thief's swordsmanship was much higher than he had imagined. Although he had not stepped into the realm of "Emptiness", he had reached the extreme in the field of skills. If he had not entered the state of "Sword Zen" in time, he might have been beheaded.
"Clang!"
However, just as he loosened his grip, a huge force suddenly came from the blade, causing his expression to change. Then, he was pushed out of control by the other party. His wooden clogs slid on the floor for more than ten meters.
Before he could recover from Ryuga's sudden outburst of power, he suddenly found that his vision darkened.
A dark figure came in front of him at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people, and slashed down with a blade.
"Slash!"
The next moment, blood splattered, and an arm suddenly fell from his arm and fell to the ground.
At the critical moment, Yagyuu Munetsugu's hand that was holding the blade was shaken away. The numbness from his arm made him unable to wield the blade in time to defend himself. He could only subconsciously raise his uninjured left arm and block in front of him.
Therefore, after the slash, his left arm was directly cut off at the elbow, and a large amount of blood sputtered out.
"Master!"
The moment his arm was cut off, a female scream came from outside the training hall. Then, without permission, the other party rushed into the training hall and pounced on Ryuga.
"Hurry up! Over here! "
The warriors patrolling outside finally noticed the abnormality and quickly surrounded the training hall.
Ryuga's eyes flickered slightly. Then, she quickly gave up on Yagyuu Munetsugu, who was reorganizing himself, and ignored the female who rushed over. She directly walked out of the training hall.
Not long after, her figure blended into the night and disappeared in front of them.
"Master!"
When the female who rushed over saw that Ryuga had escaped, she could only reluctantly give up the chase. Then, she came to Yagyuu Munetsugu's side and saw his shocking severed arm.
"Master, the patrolling warriors will be here soon. Please return as soon as possible before that …"
It was a woman with long black hair tied into a high ponytail behind her head. She had a red scarf around her neck and wore black tights that subtly revealed part of her thighs. If one looked at her appearance alone, she looked like a ninja.
When she saw Yagyuu Munetsugu's severed arm, she could not help but warn him.
"Quiet, be careful with your words."
However, before she could finish speaking, Yagyuu Munetsugu cast an indifferent look at her. After he spoke in a low voice, she swallowed the rest of her words back into her stomach.
"… Yes, I understand."
The female ninja lowered her head and did not act on her own.
"Lord Danma Shou …"
"No way!"
"Even Lord Danma Shou …?!"
"What kind of thief has invaded!"
After the warriors who came in later saw Yagyuu Munetsugu's severed arm, they all looked inexplicably shocked. Their faces were full of disbelief.
…
Outside the training hall.
Ryuga hid in the dark and used the Invisible Magic to hide his figure. He looked at Yagyuu Munetsugu's eyes in the training hall. He did not know when they had turned into a golden color. He had activated the ability of Future Vision.
From his point of view, once he counterattacked, the old man would instantly restore his severed left arm under a wave of black flames. Just like the previous two heroic swordsmen.
"Sure enough, ordinary people can't have such exuberant vitality … Your acting skills are really good, Yagyuu Munetsugu Munetsugu. Unfortunately, you're still one step behind. You can't hide from me."
The reason why he had cut off his left arm was to verify it at this moment.
