"Your grandfather?"

I don’t know whether Mikawa Miya selectively heard only the first half of the sentence, or because Genichiro was so nervous about the second half of the sentence that his voice was too hoarse when speaking.

After all, the word "Sword Master" did not enter his ears.

After all, Genichiro never thought that he would see the familiar old man again so soon, but the way was not very good, and the two sides were still in a hostile state.

"Immortal River, please don't act rashly."

Genichiro reminded Fusukawa who was eager to try, but the latter obviously didn't listen.

He thought that Genichiro was affected by the vampire spell and felt guilty, so he was unwilling to attack his close family members, so he looked for excuses.

"I know you can't bear it, I will deal with him as soon as possible."

Genichiro glanced sideways: "..."

Looking at the one-eyed old man in front of him, who had gray hair and a face full of age spots, and even looked a little sick, but had an extraordinary demeanor, the Immortal River did not notice any threat at all.

Therefore, Immortal River just grinned, and flew out like a cheetah with a knife, hoping to tear it into a splash of water as soon as possible, then resume the previous division of labor between the two, and then go to find trouble with the smelly snake.

Now she has turned into a slippery worm, hiding in the water, and is even more difficult to deal with than before.

"Anyway, as long as it's not the one riding the horse, everything will be fine!"

Immortal River's thoughts are so simple.

Genichiro stretched out his hand to stop them, but it was already too late. The charred phantoms of the Demon Slayers surrounded them again, and he had to wave the Iron Zhao Lei to push them back one by one.

Genichiro must concentrate on dealing with these phantoms. He can only disarm them or knock them into the water, and then wait for them to regain their strength.

Once he accidentally eliminates them while distracted, he will be one step closer to death from a heart attack.

And the other side.

Ashina Isshin's face was indifferent, as if someone had woken him up from his sleep. His one eye was slightly narrowed, as if he was calculating something.

When the Immortal River was still three or four meters away from him, Ashina Isshin suddenly raised his withered and slender arm and raised the long sword in his hand above his head.

It looks like a standard Su Zhen practice posture, rather than a preparation for facing a strong enemy.

In the eyes of kendo experts, this kind of starting movement that completely exposes the vital points of the body is full of loopholes.

And that slender but thin body, like a broken old tree that can be broken by a gust of wind, cannot withstand the slightest pressure from the outside world.

But among the two Ichiki present, only Genichiro understood that everything was just an appearance to confuse the enemy.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

That body looked old and decayed, but it contained unparalleled fighting skills.

After all, when grandpa pretended to be a tengu and killed the Lone Shadows, it was just two swords.

It was not what Genichiro expected.

Sure enough, someone was fooled.

"What a huge flaw!"

Looking at Isshin Ashina who was about to strike, Fusukawa thought this.

Although the upper attack is very powerful, it is usually used only when it is confirmed that the opponent has no ability to counterattack (being beaten hard), almost completely sacrificing the possibility of returning to defense.

Most of the previous phantoms, except for the Oni-shaped part whose attack range could be extended with the machine tube, waited for him to get close before launching their offensive.

But the phantom of Genichiro's grandfather seemed to have acted a little too hastily.

With the speed of the wind's breathing, I'm afraid the old man wouldn't even be able to chop down the knife, and he would kill him directly.

"That's good, it should be solved faster!"

The Immortal River aimed at Isshin Ashina's completely unprotected waist, exerted force on his feet, and accelerated suddenly again, hoping to cut the opponent with a sharp wind blade directly before he could react.

However, things were different from what he thought.

Isshin Ashina kicked his foot, and like a ghost shrinking to an inch, he directly crossed a distance of two to three meters and suddenly came to the side of the Immortal River.

Almost at the same time, the sword blade carrying the majestic vacuum wave was slashed downwards, or it would be more appropriate to smash it out!

Because the force carried by the sword has exceeded the scope of ordinary slashing, and there is absolutely no similarity between it and ordinary downward slashes except for the movement.

This is the core move of Ashina's swordsmanship - Ashina's one-word slash.

It was from top to bottom, as powerful as crushing rocks, like a thunderous blow weighing over 1,000 pounds.

Different from the sharp sword energy that comes with ordinary slashes, this move is designed to put pressure on the enemy and their weapons.

Let the enemy block you, and then you will end up with your personal sword destroyed.

It's also a trick that Genichiro can't learn no matter how hard he tries.

"Peng——"

This is the sound of the uniform behind Immortal River being exploded by sword energy!

Although he hadn't been hit yet, Immortal River could already feel the severe pain as if his spine had been shattered.

And this pain also successfully reminded him of what a terrible desperate situation he had fallen into in the blink of an eye!

"This is impossible!"

"How could he be so fast?!"

Immortal River clearly saw that the old man only took one step forward!

It's just one step away, how could it be so far?

This speed is actually faster than him who is proficient in wind breathing. It is simply incredible.

However, the urgent situation did not allow him to think too much. With the lightness and changeability of the wind's breath, he instinctively turned over in mid-air and raised his knife to resist before a single slash cut into his body.

"Three Types: Seiran Fuki!"

As the body rotated, three rays of light cyan sword energy shot out, but were instantly wiped out by the air wave generated by a single slash.

However, the Immortal River's goal has been achieved, which is to use his Nichirin Sword instead of his back to meet the coming attack.

This is the first time in several years that Immortal River uses the breath of wind like a normal swordsman.

That is to use its mobility to defend and neutralize attacks, rather than slashing in the face.

After flipping his body over, the thin Nichirin sword in Immortal River's hand became the only barrier between his body and the thick sword energy!

"Bang!"

The next moment, Immortal River was smashed into the water with both men and knives, like a tennis ball being smashed on the field, or a comet falling from high in the sky.

The knee-deep lake water could not even resolve the landslide-like pressure, and the buoyancy did not play any buffering role. As a result, Immortal River's body collided heavily with the underwater rocks, and his shoulder blades almost shattered.

Not to mention the mouth and nose that are choked with water.

However, Ashina Isshin's attack is not over yet.

Because what he uses is not a simple one-word slash, but two consecutive strikes that catch people off guard! The first strike destroys the opponent's weapon; the second strike completely destroys the opponent's body bones.

Immediately afterwards, the second attack seemed to have never stopped, and with the silver sword energy in the air, it suddenly fell.

Even before the blade touched the water, the latter had already been separated on both sides by the impact that arrived in advance, exposing the frightened River of Immortality underneath.

Under the previous blow, the tiger's mouth of the Immortal River had cracked and the blade had been deflected.

He even had a vague intuition that as long as he took one more blow from the old man, his hip bone would be directly shattered together with the knife in his hand.

"Absolutely don't get hit!"

He used all his strength, hoping to drive his body, which was in severe pain, to respond.

Ding!

At this moment, a sharp arrow flew from a distance, only slightly slowing Ashina's slashing speed.

The archer is Genichiro who has temporarily escaped the phantom entanglement of the Demon Slayer Corps. He is buying time for the Immortal River.

But at this critical moment, the Immortal River gritted its teeth and quickly rolled to the side, and then rushed out of the water like a drowned dog, thankful that it survived the disaster.

Although the gesture was very inelegant, it still saved his life.

After Ashina Isshin's sword fell, it shattered the rocks under the water like a bomb, setting off a terrifying wave of water that hit the top of the cave. Water splashed all over the sky, and even the black snake in the distance felt it.

The moisture, and the impact brought by the ripples of the water.

"Ah! Ah! Fortunately, such a strong guy is not my enemy. He is even more exaggerated than the guy on horseback just now!"

She looked at this scene and spat out the letter happily in the water, leaving only her yellow eyes floating on the water, and glanced at Genichiro who had put away his bow and arrows.

"But, who is that kid? I won't say anything because he can hurt me on his own. He also has strange medicine that can restore injuries. He can take out bows and arrows from nowhere in an instant. There are also things like this that are better than stringing a ghost.

What a fierce grandpa!”

"If this were night, if I were stronger, I would really want to catch him and question him! If I could turn his grandfather into a ghost, your lord would definitely value me more!"

"If we dig a little deeper into his guilt, we don't know who will appear."

As she said this, she still felt a little regretful.
