C547 Pursue the Great Dao

Matumoto Kiyu only felt that this strike was purer than any of the previous ones. There was nothing he could do to stop it. He was almost ready to embrace a victory that was brought about by death. Blood splashed everywhere. It was extremely painful and wonderful.

"Clang!"

The voice that came over made an irrefutable note for reality.

Kang Louhao's long sword met Matumoto Kiyu's blade in midair with an even more terrifying speed. When Matumoto Kiyu swung his sword in the air, it appeared out of nowhere on the way. He hit the blade with the spine of the sword.

Matumoto Kiyu felt proud of himself for not being able to get his sword out of his hand after suffering such a powerful blow.

Unfortunately, in the next second, he was thrown into the ice river by the cold feeling in his throat. He fell to the bottom of the ice river.

He was only thinking about one thing. His opponent had used a stroke of divine stroke by chance. Only then did he restrain his move? Or was it because the opponent's strength was much higher than his, so he waited until he used his ultimate move... Only then did he cleanly defeat him, making him look like a firework. In the midst of the dazzling blooming, he welcomed his demise.

The coldness in his throat only lasted for an instant, then disappeared without a trace. Everything happened too quickly, to the extent that many people didn't even know what had happened.

Matumoto Kiyu knew that he had lost, and it was a very, very miserable loss.

Moreover, the other party only meant it for a moment, as if he didn't even bother to take his own life. Matumoto Kiyu's expression was gloomy, and then a resolute expression appeared on his face.

He pulled out a short knife from the scabbard on his left side, raised it high, and then suddenly stabbed towards his abdomen. He could use his own method to resolve this matter. He would never drag things out.

However, on this day, everything seemed to be destined not to go according to his wishes.

It was still the same sword from before. It appeared out of nowhere once again and sent his dagger flying with a single strike.

"You! You can defeat me, you can insult me. However, if I want to protect my honor, cutting myself in half is the only way. This is the spirit of a warrior in Japan, I don't need you to interfere!"

Matumoto Kiyu's face carried a trace of ferociousness, persistence, and fanaticism.

"Is that so? I really don't know. But I just want to tell you that sometimes, death is easy. Living is even harder. That's why dying like this is a truly cowardly act. You just lost to me, and you want to commit suicide? Won't you admit that you'll never be able to defeat me?"

This was the first time he had heard such a statement, and it made Matumoto Kiyu, who had always thought that cutting the abdomen to commit suicide was the only way to redeem his honor, somewhat confused and confused. However, it also seemed to have shattered something in his heart. It had given him a different understanding of life.

That's right. Was the Martial Path the Martial Path or the Dao Path? He had always been obsessed with the Martial Path, but did he really have a correct understanding of the Martial Path? What a fierce battle, victory and defeat. Could it be called the correct Dao?

Matumoto Kiyu had a respectful expression as he deeply bowed to Kang Louhao.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Kang. If you don't hear me, I can't die yet. Since that's the case, I think I should continue to pursue the Great Dao in my heart. Perhaps in the future, I'll have a chance to ask Master Kang for guidance."

Hearing his calm words, even though there was still a trace of confusion on his face, his eyes were already like a pool of autumn water, without any waves of joy.

"Mister Matsumoto, there's no need to be polite. I hope you can find the Great Dao in your heart as soon as possible. At that time, I will be very interested in exchanging pointers with you. Also, I must say that my surname is not Kang. My name is Zhang Jingxuan."

When they heard this name, the crowd couldn't help but become noisy. Recently, the two most famous rebel kings had gathered together. Zheng Mingyan had actually guessed this earlier when he heard this voice, but at this moment, he was still unable to suppress his excitement. If it wasn't for Pang Yueluo still holding him back, he would have rushed to Zhang Jingxuan's side.

The reason why Zhang Jingxuan didn't come here with his original appearance was because he had his own thoughts. In the past period of time, he had experienced many things. It was enough for him to grow. Furthermore, although the doubts in his heart had been solved a little, but he still felt that there was something hidden under the water that gave him an indescribable sense of oppression and doubt. Therefore, he was unwilling to let go of any opportunity to seek help, but he also did not want to rush forward. He did not want to expose himself to the public.

Thus, he borrowed this identity. The Kang family had also received great kindness from Lee Yuming. Zhang Jingxuan pretended to be Lee Yuming's disciple, took out the token, and revealed his Transverse River Sword Technique. Naturally, he gained the trust of the Kang family.

When he arrived in Hangzhou, he realized that this so-called distinguished meeting was a competition between second-rate characters. Some of the most powerful people in the sects did not participate, not to mention the people of the four big families in the Jianghu. Therefore, Zhang Jingxuan also observed carefully to see what was going on. In any case, it would not be peaceful.

As expected, the expert from the Qing Dynasty, Cong Yepan, initiated the challenge. Basically, he was strong enough to crush these so-called experts. Zhang Jingxuan was patient enough this time. He wouldn't stand out until the last moment.

His patience was indeed right. Lee Hongji appeared at the last moment of crisis, shining brightly. Even Zhang Jingxuan, who was very familiar with him, was surprised by his sudden improvement in martial arts. It felt like the difference between the heavens and the earth.

But even so, he was still no match for Cong Yepan. He was actually relying on Lee San, who had attacked first. Lee San's true ability was definitely not inferior to Cong Yepan's. He only wanted to hide his true ability. In order to give credit to Lee Hongji, he did not hesitate to injure himself. However, he planted a "seed" in Cong Yepan's body.

Cong Yepan had been in the north for a long time, so he did not pay attention to Lee San's secret technique. Later on, Lee Hongji delayed for a while longer before he calculated the time to attack. At that moment, Cong Yepan also realized that something was wrong. Taking advantage of the moment when both sides were fighting, he used his means of survival to escape.

Lee Hongji continued to show his power and defeated his opponent effortlessly. Zhang Jingxuan pretended to be injured at the same time as his opponent and quit the competition. He gave the stage to Lee Hongji to see what tricks he was going to play.

Then, Matumoto Kiyu suddenly appeared. It seemed that it was totally out of Lee Hongji's expectation. He wanted to use the same trick again and send another subordinate to take the lead. However, because Matumoto Kiyu was the messenger of island country, he had no choice but to give up. At this time, Zhao Mengfan wanted to find someone to fight Matumoto Kiyu, but at this time, Lee Hongji seemed to be in a hurry to end up. He wanted to fight Matumoto Kiyu.

This was a real fight. Zhang Jingxuan could see it clearly. If Lee Hongji showed his true strength at the beginning, even if Matumoto Kiyu used his trump card, Lee Hongji would still be able to take it.
