Death's Slash

Chapter 91

Xue Xin easily asked for leave from Shishiro Ukitake, assigned part of the team affairs to Toru Qingyin, and then followed Tsubaki Baemon to Beirukon Street.

Saragi District is the eighty district of North Rukon Street, which is the farthest area from Seireitei.

From here to the [-]th district of Beiliuhun Street, it is a long way. They use Shunbu to travel, and it will take at least one day.

Oni Yancheng Kenpachi had set off two days ago, but with his character, he would not use Shunpo to rush at all, and it would take at least five days to get there with the night rest.

So Yukinobu and Kotsubaki Baemon didn't use Shunpo all the time, and sometimes slowed down.

At noon on the first day, the two met Gui Yancheng Jianpachi on the way. He had no sense of concealing the spiritual pressure, and was easily spotted.

But the two didn't go over to say hello, because Gui Yan Cheng Jianpachi is not a good person to get along with, and he himself doesn't think much of the other captains, he is arrogant and disregards discipline.

One hundred and one years ago, there were two captain-level meetings, one with Urahara Kisuke as the captain and one with Seireitei's accident, and he didn't attend even one of them.

On the contrary, Saraki Kenpachi would attend the meeting, and he was rarely absent. Even Kuchiki Ruki Adam became the captain ten years later, and he also went.

Of course, he walked in the wrong direction and walked around Seireitei before reaching the main team building.

Xue Xin and Master detoured and crossed Gui Yancheng Jianpachi, Xue Xin asked curiously: "Master, who do you think will win the battle between Saraki and Captain Gui Yancheng?"

Tsubaki Baemon snorted coldly, and said, "If it was the two before, Onigenjo Kenpachi would be slightly better, but now, Saraki will definitely win."

"Why?" Xue Xin wondered why Master was so decisive.

"That's what I want to tell you too."

Tsubaki Babaemon paused for a moment, and said, "Because Oni Yanjo Kenpachi, I forgot the most important thing to be a swordsman. But you need to observe it yourself."

. . .

The two kept on their way, and took a break on the way. On the next morning, they passed through Caolu District, No.70 District Nine, and arrived at No.80 District, Saraki District.

"It's here."

Kotsubaki Baemon took Yukinobu into the Saraki area.

All I saw was a piece of thatched cottages, and occasionally there were wooden houses, which were also dilapidated.

Not only that, but the Saraki area is close to the foot of the mountain, and there are some caves near the mountain.

When the two of them entered the Zaraki area, there were many figures in the dark, slowly approaching.

Xue Xin immediately alerted, put his hand on the Zanpakuto handle, ready to fight back at any time.

But when Xue Xin thought they were going to do something, these people backed away slowly.

"It's the god of death, it's better not to provoke him."

"What happened to the god of death? Are there still few gods of death who came here to be defeated?"

"These two are different, they are vice-captains, we are not rivals."

"Stay away from them."

"It's just that I don't know what they are going to do in Saraki Ward?"

The people around whispered and slowly backed away, hiding in the darkness again.

Yukinobu and Kotsubaki Baemon are wearing Shiba costumes, they are Shinigami from Seireitei, most people are afraid of trouble, and are unwilling to take the initiative to provoke them.

Occasionally, a few people are arrogant, not afraid of the god of death, even seeing the god of death, and want to win honor by defeating them.

But after seeing their adjutant badges, these people all left.

"Are they also swordsmen?" Xue Xin asked curiously.

"These people who only spy in the dark and bully the weak and fear the strong are just a bunch of wild dogs at best." Xiao Tsubaki Babaemon said lightly: "Your opponent will not be them.".

"Then where is the person we are looking for?" Xue Xin looked at Tsubaki Baemon and asked curiously.

"It's already here."

Tsubaki Baemon said softly, and with his voice, an old man appeared not far away, with a hunched body and a long knife on his waist.

"Little Tsubaki, what are you doing here?" the old man said in a hoarse voice, looking at Xiao Tsubaki Baemon.

Tsubaki Baemon said with a smile, "Senior Zhoufang, I'll bring my apprentices here to pick a few good players and compete."

"Your apprentice?"

Zhou Fang looked at Xue Xin, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "I have already become the vice-captain at a young age, and my talent is outstanding."

Tsubaki Baemon said with a smile, "He inherited my mantle and defeated me."

"is it?"

Zhou Fang was a little surprised, and then said: "Being able to defeat you, few people here will be his opponents. Could it be that you want to take your apprentice to challenge that guy Zaraki? You should remember him, right?"

"of course I remember."

Tsubaki Baemon narrowed his eyes, and then said helplessly, "Of course I won't let my apprentice challenge him. I also hope that Senior Zhoufang can choose a few stronger opponents to compete with my apprentice."

"That's easy to say." Zhou Fang nodded and said, "Come with me."

"Let's go."

Tsubaki Baemon called Yukinobu, and walked to the thatched hut on the side.

But after walking a few steps, Tsubaki Baemon suddenly said, "Onigan Castle is coming to Saragi District."

"What did you say?"

Zhoufang stopped suddenly, and looked at Tsubaki Baemon in disbelief.

The latter said with a smile: "Isn't this a good thing? You can see the battle between two strong men."

"But they'll destroy Saraki Ward."

Zhou Fang said coldly, and with staggering steps, he led the two of them into the cottage.

The thatched hut is not big, but there are already two people inside, one is a decadent middle-aged man leaning against the wall, and the other is a child of thirteen or fourteen, sitting there with his legs crossed.

"Xiao Chun, it's you, how long has it been since you came?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised to see Xiao Chun Baemon.

Tsubaki Baemon looked at him, frowned, and asked, "Masaka, where's your left arm?"

Only at this time did Xue Xin realize that the middle-aged man's left arm had disappeared, only his sleeve was empty.

"The one who failed in the competition with others was cut off." Zhengxing said casually.

"You suck."

Tsubaki Baemon snorted and said, "The guy who can cut off your arm can let my apprentice avenge you."

"I've already killed it." Zheng Xing lay there reclining with a calm expression on his face.

"is it?"

Tsubaki Baemon was slightly taken aback, and then said: "I originally brought my apprentices here to find some good players to compete with, including you. But your arm is broken, let's forget it."

"Is he your apprentice?" Zheng Xing squinted at Xue Xin.

"I met Senior Zhengxing." Xue Xin finally found a chance to say hello.

Tsubaki Baemon said, "That's right."

"You're already the vice-captain." Zhengxing raised his eyebrows, a little surprised at Xue Xin, and then his eyes burst into a fighting spirit, and he said, "So what if you lose an arm? I want to see if your disciple has any A bit of strength. I will compete with him."

"Then I'll trouble you." Tsubaki Baemon bowed solemnly to him.

"Thank you, Senior Zhengxing." Xue Xin hastily thanked him.

After Tsubaki Baemon and Yukinobu sat down, he said again: "But one opponent is not enough, at least we need to pick a few more. Masayuki, Zhoubo-senpai, are there any good opponents in Saraki-ku now?"

"Are you good?"

Zhou Fang frowned, and said: "If Masayoshi is used as a benchmark, there were four or five others a few years ago, but one was killed by Masayoshi, and the other was killed after failing to challenge Saragi. One left the Saraki area to wander, and there were A rookie called Kun Ichikawa is better. But none of them can compare to you."

"It's a bit too little." Tsubaki Baemon frowned.

The two opponents are not as strong as themselves, and they cannot let Xue Xin get a comprehensive understanding.

Zhou Fang said helplessly: "There are not many in Zaraki District who can play a role in tempering your apprentice. You were only defeated by Zaraki back then."

"Actually, there is another one." Zheng Xing interrupted suddenly.

Zhou Fang looked at him and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Masayuki said with a smile: "Have you forgotten the guy who followed him to the Saraki area after being defeated by Saraki? How many brushes does he have to survive under Saraki's hands?"

"That kid is really good." Zhou Fang's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Follow Zaraki with a shameless face, and said he wanted to follow him, but he was not killed by Zaraki, and he lived next to the room where Zaraki lived. That kid , Defeating several good players in a row, lacking in technique, but not weak in strength, speed and response."

"Under Saraki's hands?"

Tsubaki Baemon said in surprise, "Who is he?"

Zhengxing thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be called the corner of Madarame."

"A corner of Madara's eyes?"

Xue Xin was a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet him here.

But if Oniganjo and Saraki will have a battle here, then at this time, the corner of Madarame has indeed vowed to follow Saraki.

"Then choose him."

Xiao Tsubaki Baemon looked at Yukinobu and said, "Then there are three of your opponents this time. Their strength and speed may not be as good as yours, and their mastery of moves is not your opponent. But in a real fight, they have The ability to defeat opponents stronger than them, so I don't allow you to underestimate them."

"Yes."

Xue Xin quickly replied.

Tsubaki Baemon nodded, turned his head to look at Zhoufang, and said, "Senior Zhoufang, don't you mind if we stay here for the next few days?"

"That's not for nothing." Zhou Fang said coldly.

Tsubaki Baemon took out a bag of coins, handed it to Zhou Fang, and said, "This is our reward, isn't it enough?"

Do you need so much money?

The money in these purses can probably live in Ruukon Street for a long time, even in Seireitei, it can live for as long as a month.

Xue Xin felt a little surprised that he was given so much money for only five days.

"enough."

Zhou Fang took the money bag, threw it to Zheng Xing, and said, "Go to other districts to buy some food. If I go with the money, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

"understood."

Masayuki took the money bag, stood up, left the house, and disappeared in Saragi District.

Next, Tsubaki Baemon introduced these people to Yukinobu.

The old man is called Zhoufang Kangping, the one-armed swordsman is called Masahiro Oguri, and the young man is called Chengshu.

Zhou Fang Kangping was a well-known swordsman 200 years ago. A hundred years ago, he was defeated by his master in his middle age. In the future, he often sparred and discussed swordsmanship with each other.

With the growth of age, Zhou Fang Kangping's strength has degraded a lot, his swordsmanship level is not weak, and his prestige and deterrence are both there.

But if you have a lot of money, you may be robbed by some people, and you will flee Zaraki District directly to other areas.

Masayuki Oguri was Master's opponent a hundred years ago. He was still young at that time, and after a brief confrontation with Master, he regretted losing.

Over the past hundred years, the combat power has definitely improved, but if an arm is broken, the strength will be greatly weakened.

Xue Xin's first opponent is Masahiro Oguri.

After that, he will take the initiative to challenge his second opponent, Ichikawa Kun, and Madarame.

As long as he challenges, the two must face it, which is the rule of Saraki Ward.

In addition, Xue Xin is not allowed to use the Zanpakuto ability, and can only rely on swordsmanship to fight against the enemy.

Xue Xin is looking forward to these three opponents, some are masters who have competed with Master, some are rising stars, and some are characters from the original novel.

"Your apprentice is also a student of Shinto Jingxinliu?" Zhou Fang asked suddenly.

"Yes."

Tsubaki Baemon nodded and said, "He is also the only successor, and he will definitely surpass me in the future."

The current Yukinobu's level of swordsmanship is not as good as Tsubaki Renemon's, but he is still young and can continue to improve.

In the foreseeable future, Xue Xin will surpass him as a master.

Zhou Fang asked again: "Then, does your Shendao Jingxinliu incorporate Beichen's school of skills?"

"Unable to fuse."

Xiao Tsubaki Babaemon shook his head and said, "Over the years, I have been trying to incorporate the techniques of the Hokuto Issou-style, but I can't do anything."

The Shinto Mirror Heart Flow is the fusion of the Shinto Wunian Flow and the Mirror Heart Wise Flow. The strength of the former and the body position of the latter are all fused into it.

But it couldn't be integrated into Beichen's one-sword style, which is a representative skill.

Zhou Fang asked with a smile: "So you handed over the responsibility of fusion to your apprentice?"

Xue Xin was taken aback for a moment, Master didn't say anything about merging Beichen's one-sword style.

"I didn't let him do that."

Tsubaki Renemon shook his head and said, "His Zanpakuto ability is not suitable for continuing my school. So I hope that he can develop a new sword suitable for himself based on the Shinto mirror heart flow." Law."

When Tsubaki Baemon said this, he felt a little regretful, but more of an expectation.

He is his own apprentice, not just the basis for the inheritance of the genre.

Shinto mirror heart flow is not suitable for him, and Kotsubaki Baemon did not continue to let him go on the wrong path for his own ideas.

Moreover, he may not necessarily complete the things that he has not done in a hundred years.

So Tsubaki Baemon didn't even have the idea to tell Yukinobu.

Through the dialogue between the two, Xue Xin figured out the reason, was moved in his heart, and said seriously: "Master, I will find a suitable successor to pass on the Shinto mirror."

Since it is not suitable for me, I will not continue to walk on a path that is wrong for me.

But I will not let the genre be cut off, I will choose a suitable apprentice, pass on the genre, and then carry it forward.

"It's enough with your words."

Tsubaki Baemon patted Yukinobu on the shoulder, very relieved.
