Chapter 48 Jiro Ashina's Defeat
After a brief rest, Ashina Jiro looked at Lin Bei, who stood as upright as a pine tree, his eyes filled with solemnity.
"You're very strong!"
"He is the second strongest person I have ever met."
"I may die here today, but I would rather die fighting a strongman like you."
"I, Ashina Jiro, can die without regrets."
Upon hearing Jiro Ashina's words, Lin Bei looked at the red-clad samurai before him with a hint of regret in his eyes.
"You're very strong too."
"You're the second strongest person I've ever met."
"It's a pity we met here, otherwise we could have found a place to have a good drink."
"And what's even more regrettable is that a pure swordsman like you is going to die by my hand today."
Upon hearing Lin Bei's words, Jiro Ashina's eyes burned with fervor.
"That's quite a coincidence."
"We are both the second strongest in the opposing camp."
"But I don't think there's anything to regret."
"Although I admit you are very strong."
"But Ichiro Ashina doesn't consider himself weak either."
"The battle for survival is about to begin, and the outcome is still uncertain."
"Maybe it won't be me who dies, but you."
Despite Ashina Ichiro's tactical words, Lin Bei remained calm.
"You're wrong. I've already seen the strongest version of you."
"But you haven't seen my strongest self yet."
"I'll say it again: as long as you're willing to repent and turn back from your wrong path, I can spare your life."
However, Lin Bei's heartfelt words sounded rather harsh to Ashina Jiro.
Strong people all have their own pride.
The same goes for Ashina Jiro.
Although he had already witnessed Lin Bei's power in that attack.
But Jiro Ashina didn't think he was bound to lose.
Moreover, Lin Bei said that he had never seen him at his strongest.
But how could he have ever witnessed his strongest self?
Besides the Ashina One-Sword Slash, the Ashina family also possesses a divine sword technique that can only be activated at the cost of one's life.
Then, Ashina Jiro held his katana horizontally across his chest, one leg back and the other kneeling on the ground. He was half-crouched on the ground like a praying mantis preparing to attack, his eyes fixed on Lin Bei, exuding an unprecedented aura of danger.
Seeing this, Lin Bei understood that Ashina Jiro was still stubbornly clinging to his delusions, so he didn't bother to continue arguing.
"In that case, let's see who's the best!"
Blazing Sun - Solution - 0.2%!
Golden-red flames enveloped his hands once again.
This time, however, the golden light was even brighter, and the flames were even hotter.
"Zheng..."
A crisp and melodious sword sound rang out.
In Lin Bei's eyes, the katana in Ashina Jiro's hand, just like last time, transformed into a silver dragon and flew towards him once again.
But in an instant, Lin Bei sensed something was different.
No, it's different from last time.
This time, he couldn't see Jiro Ashina's figure; Jiro Ashina had actually transformed directly into the silver dragon of sword light.
Man and sword become one!
The thought instantly popped into Lin Bei's mind.
The next moment, he suddenly felt goosebumps.
Lin Bei's survival instincts told him this.
Run! Facing this blade head-on will kill you.
However, Lin Bei's face lit up with fervor in response to this prompting from his survival instincts.
Escape? Why would he want to escape?
Isn't this exactly what he wanted?
Only against such an opponent, only in a life-or-death battle, could he gain a deeper understanding of the essence of breathing techniques.
Only then can his Blazing Sun Force become more powerful and pure.
"bring it on!"
"Blazing Sun - Solution - 0.5%!"
In an instant, Lin Bei pulled Yan Yang Jie to the limit that he could currently withstand without any aftereffects.
In an instant, the golden light emanating from Lin Bei surged, as if he were wearing a golden battle suit.
Then, under the state of Blazing Sun - Release - 0.5%, the usually dormant Blazing Sun energy began to become more active than ever before.
With both of these factors combined, the world suddenly changed in Lin Bei's eyes.
He could see a speck of dust floating in the air and hear what sounded like the heartbeats of everyone in the underground base.
It was in this state that he finally saw Ashina Jiro, who was enveloped in a silver dragon of gleaming swords.
I saw his rapidly dissipating life force, and his eyes, a complex mix of fighting spirit and a desire for liberation.
come on!
Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish.
With a single punch, the blade flashed like a silver dragon as it fell from the sky.
Lin Bei lightly landed a punch on Ashina Jiro's chest.
But Jiro Ashina's katana was deeply embedded in Lin Bei's chest.
It was as if Lin Bei had lost this move.
However, it was Lin Bei who made the first move.
He removed his fist from Ashina Jiro's chest, then calmly pulled the katana from his chest. The stab wound in his chest was rapidly healing under the influence of his yang energy.
"Clang..."
As the katana fell to the ground, Ichiro Ashina's weak voice rang out.
"Looks like I lost in the end!"
"But this is for the best, at least I've paid back what I owed him."
"It's just a pity that I can no longer take care of my parents in their old age."
After saying this, Ashina Ichiro closed his eyes and calmly faced his death.
Seeing this, Lin Bei sighed.
"Ugh!"
"You are a worthy opponent!"
"It's a pity that they're too old-fashioned."
It turned out that although Ashina Jiro appeared to be unharmed, Lin Bei's fist had only lightly touched his chest.
But in reality, Jiro Ashina knew the truth.
That punch just now almost cooked his internal organs halfway through.
In no more than ten minutes, all his organs will completely lose their function, and even a miracle won't save him!
And although the knife he had pinned his hopes on pierced Lin Bei's chest,
However, Lin Bei dodged the fatal blow at the crucial moment, and the piercing failed to penetrate Lin Bei's heart.
Knowing that he was doomed to die, Jiro Ashina decided not to struggle any longer and simply wanted to quietly await his death.
Seeing that Ashina Jiro had quietly accepted his defeat and death, Lin Bei felt a mix of emotions.
This includes the joy of defeating a powerful enemy.
There is also regret for Ashina Jiro.
Finally, he moved his lips, but said nothing. He simply placed his palm on Ashijiro's head, preparing to give him a quick death so that he would no longer suffer the agony of his internal organs being burned.
However, at this moment, behind the corner of the passageway behind Ichiro Ashina.
A black-clad warrior and a squad of musketeers lay in ambush here.
The black-clad warrior's face was grim at this moment.
From his perspective, Ashina Ichiro and Rinho acted intimately and talked amiably.
The two didn't seem like enemies; rather, they seemed like close brothers and friends.
Just now, after hearing Oda's instructions, he couldn't believe it and thought he had misheard.
Oda, the head of the Oda family, actually let him take the opportunity to kill Ashina Jiro.
After all, everyone knows that Oda and Ashina are like father and son, and the two are almost inseparable.
Looking at it now...
"As expected, the patriarch was right. Ashina Jiro was indeed plotting rebellion."
"The patriarch sent him to kill the enemy, but he's just putting on an act with them, trying to deceive everyone."
"In that case, I will get rid of that hypocritical villain, Ashina Ichiro, for Lord Oda."
After saying that, the black-clad warrior raised his hand and waved it.
"The Musketeers!"
"Ready, fire!"
"Bang bang bang..."
