Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

Chapter 47 Ashina cuts with one sword

Lin Bei looked at the red-clad warrior standing in the passage, and a glint gradually appeared in his eyes.

The previous ambush was far too simplistic for him.

Lin Bei was so bored that he became somewhat sleepy.

But as soon as Lin Bei saw the red-clad warrior, his boredom and drowsiness completely vanished.

He sensed a familiar scent emanating from the red-clad warrior.

He had also smelled this scent on Urokodaki Sakonji.

It was an extremely pure aura of a powerful being.

Although the aura of the red-clad samurai was like a firefly compared to the bright moon compared to Urokodaki Sakonji.

However, the red-clad swordsman possessed a different aura that was even purer than that of Urokodaki Sakonji.

That was the aura of a master swordsman.

It is an aura of utmost sincerity and dedication to the way of the sword.

So Lin Bei put aside his laziness and spoke to the red-clad swordsman.

"Someone like you shouldn't be here."

"This place will tarnish your sword heart."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in the red-clad swordsman's eyes.

He never imagined that the first person to truly understand him would be his enemy.

So he put away his previous indifference and spoke to Lin Bei in the same solemn tone.

"I am Ashina Jiro, and I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

"As for what you said, Ashina himself is aware of it."

"But loyalty and righteousness are my duty, and Ashina has been entrusted with this task, so I have no choice but to stop you here."

"Your Excellency is no ordinary person, having managed to infiltrate this place single-handedly."

"A hero with courage and integrity."

Ashina was deeply impressed.

"However, Ashina would like to offer you a word of advice: Ashina himself is already deeply mired in a quagmire and cannot extricate himself."

"But you have only just gotten involved, and you still have a chance to extricate yourself."

"Otherwise, even if you can get past Ashina, the final hurdle is one that no human can overcome."

Hearing the advice from the red-clad samurai who called himself Ashina Jiro, Lin Bei understood.

Lin Bei understood that the red-clad warrior wanted to warn him of the great danger ahead and persuade him to leave.

Lin Bei had no doubts about what this person he was meeting for the first time said.

Because he knew that swordsmen like the red-clad warrior, though they didn't show it on their faces, were extremely proud.

Such a person may fail or die, but will never deceive.

Therefore, Lin Bei believed what he said, but he did not want to back down.

So Lin Bei spoke up.

"Just like there's a reason why I have to be stopped here."

"I also have reasons to keep moving forward."

"At the same time, I also want to tell you..."

Blind loyalty is not true loyalty, and pedantic righteousness is not true righteousness.

"You know better than I how dark and filthy this place is, and what kind of demons the people you are loyal to are."

"For a place like this, for people like this, you're going to die by my hand in a minute. It's not worth it at all."

However, Lin Bei's words did not persuade the red-clad warrior.

He silently drew his katana, lowered his body, and pointed the blade forward, expressing his determination through his actions.

Unlike Lin Bei, who received a modern education from a young age, Xiao Rizi from the island nation received a distorted and outdated education and concept of loyalty and righteousness.

Their loyalty was absolute.

Their righteousness is false.

They are good at small manners but lack great virtues; this perfectly describes them.

The reason Lin Bei wanted to persuade the red-clad warrior to turn back was because there were very few people in Japan with such a pure sword heart, and it would be a pity for him to die in such a place.

If we could persuade him to turn back from his misguided path and send him to the Demon Slayer Corps to learn Breathing Techniques, he would at least become a Pillar.

But since the other party was stubborn and Lin Bei was not a compassionate monk, he decided to take action.

The only thing we can do is send them on their way.

Therefore, when facing the red-clad warrior, Lin Bei also demonstrated his determination through his actions.

Blazing Sun - Solution - One in a Thousand!

Flame Fist!

A layer of golden light appeared on Lin Bei's body. His eyes were cold as he beckoned to the red-clad warrior.

"In that case, let me see your swordsmanship!"

The next moment, the two moved almost simultaneously.

Lin Bei pushed off with his feet, and with the huge reaction force, he rushed towards the red-clad warrior like an arrow. His fist, which was flashing with golden light and had a ball of golden-red flame on it, went straight for the red-clad warrior's upper body.

The red-clad warrior was startled when he saw the golden light emanating from Lin Bei's body and the flames on his fist.

This reminded him of the man he had seen that night, who had lost an arm while trying to kill the monster known as the ghost.

That person could kill a ghost with just one strike.

It seemed like that person was also covered in flames.

Although the two flames are different, they raised the red-clad warrior's assessment of Lin Bei's threat level to a new level.

Therefore, he dared not slack off in the slightest and used the Ashina family's signature technique against Lin Bei, who was rushing towards him.

Ashina One-Sword Slash!

In an instant.

The blade flashed like a silver dragon as it flew towards Lin Bei.

next moment.

Lin Bei's Flaming Fist clashed with the Red-Clad Warrior's Silver Dragon.

"Hiss..."

"Thump..."

Flames surged, and blades hummed.

The collision of a fist and a knife produced an effect similar to an explosion of a cannonball.

In an instant, the earth shook and the air surged.

It was as if the entire underground passage began to tremble.

"Tap tap tap..."

After the collision, both of them were thrown backward by the force of the other's impact.

At this moment, dust rose between the two, obscuring their vision like a fog.

This made both sides hesitant to make any rash moves.

After a while, the dust settled, and both sides were able to see each other's condition clearly.

Lin Bei stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold and stern, his whole being like a tall and strong pine tree, as if the collision had no effect on him at all.

Where the red-clad warrior couldn't see, Lin Bei had a gruesome wound on his right hand, which was behind his back, almost cutting his entire palm open.

However, under the influence of yang energy, the wound is beginning to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, the red-clad samurai stood tall, holding his katana upside down, his eyes cold, exuding a sculpted beauty.

However, the twisted katana in his hand and the large hole burned in his clothes clearly showed that he was not as calm and collected as he appeared.

In their first encounter, both players had their share of wins and losses, and neither gained a significant advantage.

At this moment, Lin Bei looked at the red-clad warrior and was somewhat alarmed.

"This person has a fast and sharp knife."

"I tried to dodge, but I couldn't."

"I could only use the Flame Fist to harden it, and as a result, I almost lost a hand. Fortunately, I had yang energy."

"It seems that before the Flame Sun Release reaches 10 per thousand, we still cannot use our physical body to directly withstand weapons."

However, what Lin Bei didn't know was that the red-clad warrior was even more shocked than he was.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone withstand a steel blade with their own flesh and blood.

Moreover, the flames on the opponent's fist just now, even if it was only for a moment of contact.

But he clearly saw that the flames instantly turned his katana red-hot.

If it hits you directly, the consequences are unimaginable.

At this moment, the two men facing off had the same thought in their minds.

This knife/this punch cannot be taken head-on.
